Seeing that Su Wen refused to accept the forbidden items, Nangong did not force him. Anyway, he took out the items and conveyed His Majesty the Emperor's will. How Su Wen reacted in the end was Su Wen's business.
As for whether His Majesty the Emperor will be angry with Nangong because of Su Wen's rejection, this is not a question that Nangong considers. After all, with the strength of Sequence Five, even if the Emperor is angry with him, he will not express it easily.
Nangong was in charge of the inner factory, and Jiangnan Road was peaceful for a period of time. No extraordinary person dared to cause trouble, so Su Wen naturally had nothing to do. After seeing Nangong, Su Wen went to find Lao Liu, Luo Bai, and Bu Ming.
The friendly colleagues caught up with each other, had a drink, and returned to the academy.
After returning to the academy, Su Wen had a few days to relax and then began to prepare to go to Daliang City.
The talent selection ceremony is three months away, but candidates from all over the country cannot wait until the exam time to gather in the capital.
After many candidates passed the provincial examination and obtained the qualifications for the general examination, they rushed to Daliang City as soon as possible to prepare for the general examination.
Taking the national college entrance examination is not just about studying hard. If you practice hard, you will be sure to get good results.
More candidates go to the capital to make connections, obtain resources, and learn skills...in order to gain greater advantages in the next major exam.
For people like Qingshan Academy who set off three months in advance, it is already too late.
Su Wen asked Qingli why he sent the candidates to the capital so late, but Qingli smiled and said: "Our academy has always been suppressed by the court. It is useless to go too early. You may not even be able to rent a house. If you go so early,
Aren’t you asking for trouble?”
When Su Wen heard this, he frowned.
After careful questioning, Su Wencai found out that in the thirty years since the academy was founded, no matter how outstanding the results in the provincial examination were, there was not a single name on the talent list during the general examination.
Qingshan Academy naturally knew that this was a deliberate attack by the imperial forces, but it did not take it seriously.
It's just that many students who intend to gain fame in the imperial court often drop out of school after the exam year, transfer to other colleges, or register for the exam on their own, so that they have a certain chance of getting on the list.
"If this is the case, then why is the academy still taking this exam?"
Su Wen felt a little angry.
In his previous life, he was famous as a question-answer and defeated many of his colleagues. But he also knew how much effort each question-maker put in to gain fame.
In this world's world, there are many students who cannot go far on the extraordinary path, and the talent promotion ceremony is their last way out.
If there has been no soul penetration, then the owner of this body will have his only way to advance.
"Of course it's to gain experience, and also... to make them sick."
Qingli was very calm about this.
Since Qingshan Academy began to participate in the talent promotion ceremony, it has always been among the best in the provincial examination. The top three and even the first place were almost all won by Qingshan Academy.
But without exception, during the general examination, these talented students from Qingshan Academy were almost always in the first round, and even those who were as strong as Qingsong and Yan Tao never made it to the list.
It’s just that no one doubts the level of Qingshan Academy, because almost every student from Qingshan Academy who fails has become a hot spot for other countries to compete for. Even countries like Yan State, Jingchu and other countries, every time they hold a talent promotion ceremony,
They will prepare chariots and horses to invite students from Qingshan Academy to take the exam, and they will start directly from the examination, without the need for previous selections.
It's just that Qian Haoran has ordered that all students representing the academy must first pass the examination in Daliang Dynasty before they can go to other countries.
The vast majority of students who failed the exams did not need to continue taking exams in other countries and were directly awarded official positions in the name of Jinshi. Only Qingshan Academy was able to directly take official positions in other countries.
"Why is this?"
Su Wen was puzzled by this.
It is known to everyone that Qian Haoran is at odds with His Majesty the Emperor, but it is a bit ridiculous that the grievances between the two parties have affected the futures of countless students.
"Isn't it just a dispute between schools..."
Qingli patted Su Wen on the shoulder and said: "Our Confucian culture in the Liang Dynasty was not valued much by the court, and the teachings of our Qingshan Academy were controversial within Confucianism before, so the suppression was naturally greater. As for
The personal grudge between Sir and Your Majesty can be considered a deal...but Jingchu and Yan are not happy with the Liang Dynasty, so they take this opportunity to win over the Confucians and suppress the Liang Dynasty. Isn't it normal?"
Su Wen shrugged: "It's really boring."
"Who says it's not..."
Qingli sneered: "When I become a sub-sage, I will go and reason with that old boy Ji Changge... No, it's not just him, there are also those old immortals in the imperial court who are lying on their backs. No one can escape...
They'd better make more efforts now while they still have the ability...otherwise, they won't have a chance by then."
Su Wen nodded repeatedly, but when he heard Qingli's words, his mind moved and he asked tentatively: "Senior brother has reached sequence five?"
"nature……"
Qingli responded naturally: "On the day after you were captured by Ying Tianchang and sent to the ruins, I was promoted..."
"..."
Su Wen was speechless, just looking at the sharp literary aura rising from Qingli's body, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said tentatively: "Senior brother, is he not far away from Ya Sheng...
"
"It's not very close, but it's not far either... I seem to have seen an opportunity, the promotion ceremony... I just want to try my hand at Daliang Chao."
"Opportunity..." Su Wen took a cold breath, and all that was left in his heart was admiration.
He had previously thought that fellow seniors such as Qingsong and Yan Tong were already very impressive. At such a young age, they had already reviewed the achievements of these gentlemen. However, they were just low-key by nature and were not as famous as Qian Haoran and Dong Zhizhang.
Unexpectedly, Qingli went one step further and has already caught up with Qian Haoran, and may even...become a sub-sage earlier than Qian Haoran.
"Senior brother, what is the opportunity you perceive?"
Su Wen hesitated for a long time before asking.
The so-called opportunity is actually the promotion ceremony. The promotion ceremony of each transcendent is different and the difficulty is also different. This is also the secret of the transcendent. Generally speaking, such secrets should not be asked.
It's just that Su Wen was too curious and couldn't help but ask.
Qingli's answer was also very straightforward, saying calmly: "Depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism."
"..."
Su Wen really wanted to keep a distance from Qingli.
Because Qingli's promotion opportunity is essentially to become an enemy of Baijia School.
Even within Confucianism, there is no room for such extremes. Because they know very well that if Qingli really unites knowledge and action according to this belief, the Confucianism he identifies will not be the collection of all Confucian doctrines, but what Qingli believes in.
The part of belief.
Scholars from hundreds of schools would not agree. After all, Qingli's move... was cutting off the foundation of their academic inheritance.
"Senior brother, you can't say things like this outside..."
Wiping the sweat from his head, Su Wen repeatedly warned: "Otherwise, let alone the sub-sage, even if you become a saint, you will be regarded as the first enemy by various schools of thought, and they will be punished as soon as possible!"
Looking at Su Wen who looked nervous, Qingli laughed and said, "I still need your instructions for this!"
Qingli knew very well how shocking his thoughts were.
He didn't even say this to Qian Haoran.
This is not something that a sub-sage can do.
To completely accomplish this goal, Qingli must at least be a saint... or even beyond the level of a saint, then Qingli may consider doing such a thing.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole world is an enemy.
But Su Wen is not only a junior brother, but also an extraordinary historian. He needs a historian to record this information. Regardless of future success or failure, it will be an important reference for future generations.
…
A total of eleven students went to the Daliang Dynasty for the examination, including Sun Yehou and Zhang Xi.
However, Zhang Xi did not use the quota from Qingshan Academy, but the quota recommended by the governor's office. In the end, he was admitted and just followed the team from Qingshan Academy to go north together.
In fact, there are nearly twenty people in the academy who are qualified for the examination. Those who did not go to the capital for the examination were because they went to Guixu and were sealed in Guixu and could not come out.
However, those who chose to go to Guixu instead of staying in the academy to study peacefully at this time had no intention of pursuing an official career. After all, their extraordinary power has reached Sequence Three, and they are already gentlemen. The promotion channels in the secular world are of little use to them.
Imperial positions are no longer very attractive, and there is no need for proof of being on the list. Needless to say, you may not be able to get on the list if you go there. It is better to go to Guixu to look for opportunities to break through the Confucian scholars.
"Mr. Su, you only need to show this token along the way and you can stay at any inn in the Xu Mansion. The lady has already made arrangements, so there is no need to worry about these trivial matters."
In the beginning, Guanshi Xu, who brought people to snatch the bride, forced a panicked smile in front of Su Wen.
When he first snatched Su Wen's hand, he was very arrogant.
However, in just one year, Su Wen's status has been... the deputy principal of Qingshan Academy.
Although he was acting temporarily, no one dared to say that Su Wen's status was not high.
Su Wen's reputation is nothing more than that of a mere deputy mountain chief.
News even came out a few days ago that His Majesty sent Master Nangong to invite Su Wen to take up an important position in the province, but Su Wen declined.
The Neihang Province is juxtaposed with the three provinces of Zhongshu. Although the scope of duties seems to be relatively narrow, it actually represents the important position that His Majesty the Emperor is most concerned about. If it is not Qin Xin, it is impossible to obtain such a position, even if it is only for the ninth grade.
The Xu Mansion is known as half the city, but it cannot be compared with the royal family that dominates the world. Even the emperor admires Su Wen. Manager Xu is naturally frightened when he thinks of his previous behavior towards Su Wen.
"Say thank you to Miss Xu and Xu Bancheng for me."
Naturally, Su Wen would not argue with Manager Xu about being robbed.
If it weren't for the stick from Manager Xu - Su Wen couldn't remember whether it was from Manager Xu, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity and such a good fortune.
"The young lady would like to invite the young master for a while, but I don't know whether the young master..."
Manager Xu asked carefully.
"Next time I will definitely, next time I will definitely..."
Looking at the huge carriage not far away, Su Wen quickly refused.
