As a Hanlin bachelor and the examiner of the examination, Guo Xueshi personally came to express his gratitude. When he said these words, he lowered his stature to an extremely low level.
The main reason is that this incident is indeed serious. If the Mingjiao succeeds, his future will be basically ruined.
The imperial examination was the most important part of maintaining the rule of the Song Dynasty.
When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty perfected the imperial examination system, he once said, "All the heroes in the world will be in my gou."
What is enough? Trap!
This actually shows that the essence of the imperial examination is a trap to prevent heroes from rebelling.
During the Tang Dynasty, the number of Jinshi was very small, and they had to compete with the powerful families in the officialdom. In the Song Dynasty, the emperor vigorously promoted literary affairs, and the talented people in the world had advanced to the higher level, and they all went to study the Six Classics, and they had no intention of rebelling.
.
Zhao Kuangyin indeed had good intentions in maintaining domestic rule.
In this way, the Mingjiao's actions against the released scholars completely touched the nerves of the ruling class.
Now the whole of Yongzhou is full of patrols.
A turmoil is about to unfold throughout Jinghu South Road.
As the primary responsible person, Guo Xueshi is extremely afraid. The person who is most grateful is Huang Shang.
But even so, with his status, he doesn't need to come to thank you.
Mainly it’s a theory widely circulated outside.
Huang Shang is the Wenqu star descended to earth!
The thieves of the Ming sect died outside the Gongyuan. Naturally, they conducted an autopsy and concluded that these thieves were not shocked to death by the so-called internal energy, but were killed inexplicably.
Thinking of Huang Shang's power outside the Gongyuan, stepping forward and scolding the thieves, there is a theory that this Jieyuan was descended from the Wenquxing and had divine power to protect him, so he was able to turn the tide when the Gongyuan was attacked.
This made many people feel sincere awe, including Bachelor Guo.
Huang Shang was not arrogant at all: "This is what students should do."
Academician Guo then probed: "Does Sheng Zhong have any clues about the Mingjiao thieves?"
Huang Shang shook his head slightly: "Students don't know."
Before Gongyuan, he stepped forward to protect the safety of Yongzhou, but he was not prepared to participate in the subsequent events.
Because he has not yet become a Jinshi or been awarded an official position.
Not even a military commander.
Doing more means making more mistakes.
Only by knowing how to advance and retreat can we understand gains and losses.
When Academician Guo saw Huang Shang studying as usual and preparing for the next round of provincial examinations, he was filled with admiration. He stopped talking and stood up to leave.
Not long after Academician Guo left, Wu Que and Nightingale appeared.
The expression of the former has changed slightly, but the latter is the same as before, but his smile is sweeter and he feels more and more star-chasing.
The speed at which Huang Shang's strength improved was truly unexpected.
Seeing the battle in Gongyuan, Wu Que had a question.
How far is Huang Shang's strength from being promoted to a star?
The answer is disturbing.
Huang Shang's future can be very bright, but that must be after the contract is completed.
If in this world, Huang Shang became the extremely powerful man in the original plot, a two-star grandmaster, how many opportunities would there be for a contract?
"It's time to get rid of it."
Keenly aware of the changes, Huang Shang knew that Wuque might not help him improve next, but would instead start to curb it.
Facts have proved that none of the star reincarnators are easy to compete with. It is in his interest to compete with Nightingale.
But soon, the two of them joined forces and worked together, which was not a good thing for him.
Too weak and does not meet the needs of reincarnators.
Soaring into the sky is not in line with the purpose of reincarnation.
The real Huang Shang would not have thought that a good friend who was a brother-in-law yesterday would harbor evil intentions and completely turn him into a puppet today.
Huang Shang knew the demands of reincarnators.
To be fair, I have devoted my whole life to the "Ming Yu Gong". It is completely normal to have such thoughts.
But from Huang Shang's perspective, in order not to fall out and become enemies, he had to find a way to escape.
It's difficult.
"Fortunately, this is Jinghu South Road."
Huang Shang has actually been thinking of ways these days.
But in the end, I decided to wait and see.
If I am not mistaken, there is a powerful force in the world who is more anxious than him.
Maybe it won't be long before someone comes to see him.
Next, Huang Shang continued to review his homework.
The interpretation test is only the first test of the imperial examination, and there are two more tests to follow.
Provincial exam! Palace exam!
Having tasted the sweetness of interpretation, the literary spirit gained from those two games will only be more.
As long as you successfully pass it, it will be two unparalleled enhancements.
Among the three imperial examinations, the provincial examination is the most difficult and also the most critical.
If you fail in the provincial examination, it will be meaningless and you will have to take the exam again three years later.
So he declined various invitations and concentrated on studying.
It's just that some people follow the rules and have nothing to do after being rejected.
Some people are not.
On this day, Huang Shang was holding a volume of "Weighing the Spring and Autumn Period" and was reading it intently when there was a sudden noise behind him.
He didn't seem to hear it until a familiar smell came, and the middle-aged man who looked like an iron tower stopped in front of him: "Mr. Huang, we meet again!"
The leader of the Beggar Clan, Wang Jiantong.
Huang Shang gave him a cold look and ignored him.
Wang Jiantong was a little embarrassed.
If you are a person in the martial arts world, even if you have a grudge against someone in the past, you will still have to talk about the situation.
However, Huang Shang is not a martial artist at all. He had a grudge before, so he just ignored it.
Wang Jiantong had no choice but to force out an awkward but polite smile: "I have offended the young master so much before, but I still hope Haihan!"
Huang Shang then responded: "You don't have to be like this, your gang has violated the law many times. I'm just a scholar and I can't change anything. One day, I will clear up the chaos in the world!"
As soon as he said this, Wang Jiantong frowned. Before he could say anything, an old beggar walked out and looked at Huang Shang coldly: "Young man with a yellow mouth, you have such a loud tone!"
In terms of seniority, this person is still Wang Jiantong's uncle. He is none other than Elder Xu, the elder of the Beggar Clan who returned from retirement at the Xingzilin Beggar Clan Conference.
Huang Shang was too lazy to speak and gave him a cold look.
At this glance, there was nothing like the divine light of a warrior, but Elder Xu only felt an indescribable force impacting him. His face suddenly changed color and he took two steps back.
Elder Xu's face was full of shock, and Wang Jiantong's expression also changed.
It was widely rumored that this was Wen Quxing who descended to earth. He didn't believe it at first, but just over two months ago, in order to investigate Chen Sheng's death, he had personally tested it. At that time, Huang Shang was a weak scholar, but now...
It's not even martial arts.
What is it again?
Is it really Wenquxing’s divine power?
In view of this, Wang Jiantong's arrogant gangster spirit subconsciously restrained himself.
Huang Shang did not need the awe of a few beggars, and looked at another young beggar who came with Wang Jiantong and Elder Xu.
"Ma Dayuan?"
This deputy gang leader who would gain Wang Jiantong's trust in the future, if he hadn't married a vicious woman, would actually be the best deputy, coordinating everyone and being very organized.
At this time, seeing Wang Jiantong and Elder Xu stunned, Ma Dayuan stepped forward and said: "Master Huang, this is not the time to vent your anger. Those who attacked Gongyuan this time are all Mingjiao introduced to our country from Persia and are not of our race.
, his mind must be different, I hope the government can identify the true enemy."
Why did Wang Jiantong and the other three appear?
the reason is simple.
The Mingjiao rebelled and committed suicide, while the Beggar Gang shot innocent people.
There is no way, the Mingjiao's lair is too secret, and the court cannot find it.
The chief helmsman of the Junshan Beggar Clan was clearly there.
What should the garrison do when they cannot find the Mingjiao thieves but are afraid of being criticized by their superiors?
Let’s take action against the beggar gang!
The causes planted in the past are now bearing fruit. In the past, the disciples of the Beggar Clan regarded the laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing, and the government did not do anything to help them. The grudges had been there for a long time, but this time they exploded.
In fact, Junshan is located in the Dongting Lake, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The garrison on Jinghu South Road is very weak. The Beggar Clan is really not afraid of these officers and soldiers.
But the Beggar Clan is different from the Mingjiao.
Although the Beggar Clan did not agree with the imperial court's weak request for peace, they never thought of rebelling against the imperial court.
No matter how many malpractices the current Song Dynasty has, it is always stable and peaceful. However, once there is chaos and turmoil, it will be the most miserable days for the people.
In troubled times, human life is like grass.
The Beggar Clan still understands this truth.
Therefore, Wang Jiantong was unwilling to fight head-on with the government, causing pain to his relatives and happiness to his enemies.
But they had no way to make peace. Through understanding, it was discovered that the man who blocked Mingjiao in Gongyuan that day was Huang Shang, who had been in contact with him in the past.
At this moment, the situation was changing. Wang Jiantong took a deep breath and bowed: "I hope Mr. Huang will put aside his past grudges!"
Wang Jiantong would rather be submissive than civil strife. Huang Shang still appreciated it and said, "I am humble and humble, so I may not be able to change my mind."
Just when Wang Jiantong and the others looked disappointed, he changed the subject again: "But I have two friends who are highly skilled in martial arts and have the means to track down the whereabouts of the demons from the Ming Cult. You two can join forces!"
