let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 98: The Royal Pen’s Personal Point
……

Cuiwei Building.

Inside the elegant and exquisite warm pavilion.

The girl wore a long blue dress embroidered with cloud patterns, and her slender waist was fastened with a purple ribbon, showing her exquisite and tight figure.

She stepped lightly on lotus steps, holding a white Confucian shirt in front of the young man: "Mr. Jiang, try this Confucian shirt, does it still fit?"

Jiang Chaoge looked at the shy Cai Wenji in front of him: "Miss Wenji, this..."

"I just ask Mr. Jiang, don't be disgusted." Cai Wenji's eyes were filled with hope.

Forget it, since there is no money spent on food and drink, it doesn't matter if you add an extra piece of clothing.

Jiang Chaoge could only sigh, and put on the white Confucian shirt.

Immediately, he is graceful, unrestrained and unrestrained.

Cai Wenji just stared blankly, not to mention Lu'er standing behind, who was already so shocked that her mouth could fit a small fist.

And at this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "My lord, there is a Mr. Long who wants to invite you to meet."

Mr. Long?Dragons?
Jiang Chaoge always felt that this Long Yin was a bit weird, every time he came to Cuiwei Tower, he would not look for girls, but only him... This made him think of something.

"Mr. Jiang, this Mr. Long seems to be a bit extraordinary." Cai Wenji said again: "Perhaps, he is the nobleman of the young master."

"My nobleman?" Jiang Chaoge nodded: "Okay, let Mr. Long wait outside, and I will go out to see him immediately."

"Ok!"

……

Soon.

Jiang Chaoge came out of Wen Ji's warm pavilion in a white Confucian shirt.

And outside the door, a bookboy with pink noodles was already waiting there.

As soon as Jiang Chaoge came out, the book boy immediately saluted and said, "Excuse me, my lord. Our lord would like to invite you to meet alone. Please come with me, lord."

"You're welcome." Jiang Chaoge followed.

Soon, the book boy brought him to an Accord.

The dishes are already set on the table.

Everything is very delicate, and the price is expensive at first glance.

Jiang Chaoge ate a lot of banquets in Cuiwei Building in the past few days, so he can see that the price of this table of dishes is basically enough for ordinary people to eat for the first half of the year.

And behind the table, a young man in a black robe had already stood up.

The bookboy and the swordsman in the room immediately went out and stood guard at the door.

"Young Master Jiang, we meet again." Long Yin had an indifferent smile on his face.

"Mr. Long, you are welcome." Jiang Chaoge had met Long Yin several times, but he was not too polite: "Mr. Long came to see me so early, but something happened?"

"There is one thing."

"Master Long, please tell me."

"I don't know what the young master thinks about the current court?" Long Yin asked directly after Jiang Chaoge sat down.

Come up and ask me about the court?
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, and replied: "Jiang is just a scholar, the things in the court... I'm afraid there are some..."

"My lord, you don't have to be too modest." Long Yin waved his hand: "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear. In fact, I came this time to ask my lord for advice."

Sincerely ask me about the court... Who are you?

Jiang Chaoge took a serious look at Long Yin. He wanted to shirk again, but he found a strange sincerity in Long Yin's eyes.

So, he began to think.

Dragon Yin?Long Yin... This guy's surname is Long?
and many more!

Longyin... What if the two words are reversed?That is Yinlong!
Chanting (winner)!
Win the dragon!

Jiang Chaoge's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, a bold guess arose.

The first time he and Long Yin met was in this Cuiwei Building, and that meeting was the first time Cai Wenji opened a cabinet. Similarly, it was also at that time that he uttered the "River Governance Theory".

And later... the township examination really took the river governance theory!
For a long time, Jiang Chaoge didn't think much about this matter, but when Long Yin asked him about the court affairs, he seemed to understand a little bit.

"Could it be that this guy belongs to the royal family? He can't be the emperor, right?! The current emperor of Daqin... seems to be about the same age as this guy."

Of course, this guess is a bit too bold.

Jiang Chaoge still decided to test it first, so he said: "The three powers in the court are now in power, and this is well known in the world. When Mr. Long asks me about the court, it should not only ask me about the court, right?"

This may sound contradictory, but anyone who actually understands it naturally understands it.

Long Yin's eyes lit up immediately: "Of course it's not just about the court, what I want to ask is... If there is a national policy, it can be left in the name of the future, and it will benefit all people. However, the three powers disagree, it should be how?"

"My lord, is it sure that this national policy can benefit all people?"

"nature."

"Since it is the national policy of Fuze Wanmin, why don't the three powers agree?"

"Because, implementing this strategy will consume national strength." Long Yin replied.

Jiang Chaoge understood.

Moreover, at this time, he has truly confirmed that the Young Master Long in front of him is the current Young Emperor.

Because, he was obviously asking—the theory of river governance!

"This young emperor should have read my Theory on River Governance... Otherwise, he wouldn't have tested me on purpose last time, and the only one who would ask this question is the young emperor, not other princes."

However, as long as the young emperor himself did not admit it.

He can't break it down directly.

After Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, he said again: "My lord, do you remember that during the time of the First Emperor, the Prime Minister Lu Buwei ordered the construction of the Zhengguo Canal, which cost more than a million dollars? In terms of national strength, how is the current Great Qin compared to the Great Qin of the past? ?”

"Of course it's stronger." Long Yin's eyes lit up again.

"Yeah, it seems to be consuming, but in fact, when the Zheng Guoqu was established, Daqin added tens of thousands of mu of fertile land. Because of this, it was able to recruit refugees from the six countries and gather talents from all over the world. So far, Daqin has swept away The six kingdoms will unite the world!"

"My son's words are really good words, but if the three powers disagree, how can we carry out this national policy that benefits the country and the people?"

"Three powers are in power, although they will not harm the country, but it does not mean that the family behind the three powers will not harm the country."

"My lord wants to get rid of the three powers?!"

"If you want the government order to be clear, the three powers must be eliminated!"

"But..." Long Yin hesitated.

"..."

Jiang Chaoge stopped talking.

In fact, he had no intention of getting involved in government affairs.

However, the foundation of Confucian cultivation is 'fame'.

If the river governance theory can really be implemented, then his reputation will definitely skyrocket!

It would be too light to say that the great Confucianism is broken in one fell swoop!
It can benefit all peoples and gain unsurpassed fame, so why not do it?
However, as Long Yin said, it is too difficult to implement the theory of river governance. When the young emperor was not in power, he must have touched the authority of the three powers.

If Long Yin hadn't made up his mind, he wouldn't be able to wade through this muddy water even if he wanted to.

After all, once wading in... he would be a cannon fodder.

Without the young emperor as a strong backing, although he said he would not die, but the skin of his body would definitely be gone.

"Come here, drag this Jiang Yu'er, who is a disaster to the country and the people, and behead him!"

If you really want to anger the three powers, this is really possible.

By that time...

Without the skin of his body, his "fame" would simply be gone.

It is equivalent to directly clearing a number that has just been practiced!

……

I don't know how long it took.

Long Yin smiled very naturally: "Okay, I already know what I need to know, and since that's the case, I won't disturb Mr. Jiang's rest anymore."

After speaking, he stood up.

Went to the door.

In the spirit of not being wasted, Jiang Chaoge sat on the chair and did not get up, but took a few mouthfuls of food and took another sip of wine.

Long Yin stood at the door, seeing that Jiang Chaoge had no intention of seeing him off, so he could only turn around again: "Young Master Jiang, have you already guessed my identity?"

This is a direct showdown, right?Jiang Chaoge thought about it, and shook his head: "No, I didn't guess it, and Mr. Long doesn't need to explain it to me."

"..." Long Yin.

"Isn't it better to be called a friend?" Jiang Chaoge said again.

"Hehe, yes... It might be better to be called a friend!" Long Yin nodded, and went out without saying anything more.

Jiang Chaoge was not surprised either.

The other party was obviously just probing. The majestic Emperor Qin Youdi should be cautious in doing things. It is impossible to have a real showdown, and there is no need for it.

As for the young emperor's decision...

It is also impossible to tell him clearly on the spot.

Since he was born in the emperor's family, the young emperor will of course learn how to deal with his subordinates, how can he show his heart when he comes up, and shout: "My lord, come and help me!"

If so, Jiang Chaoge even looked down on him.

If he wanted to know what this young emperor was thinking, all he had to do was to see if he could get on the list in tomorrow's provincial examination.

Outside.

Shen San and Shutong are waiting respectfully.

As soon as he saw Long Yin coming out, the book boy asked nervously, "My lord, did you reveal your identity?"

"No need to explain." Long Yin smiled.

"Did he... guess it?"

"Ah."

"Then where are we going next..."

"Go to the Gongyuan."

"Young master, it's not because you want to..."

……

Gongyuan.

Ji Chengzhou and the two assistant examiners are busy.

And at this moment, a notification came from outside the door.

Then, he saw the familiar figure of the pink-faced book boy.

However, this time, there were two people following behind the book boy, one was holding a long sword, and the other was wearing a black robe with a face like a crown jade.

Ji Chengzhou's face changed, who else could be served by that Li Neiguan?

Without any hesitation, Ji Chengzhou led the two assistant examiners, and welcomed the three of them into the inner hall, and immediately knelt down with a plop.

"Chen, Ji Chengzhou, I have met His Majesty!"

"minister……"

"minister……"

"Three adults, please get up."

Long Yin signaled with his hand, and at the same time, sat down on the chief seat, and then took out a letter in his hand: "It is not suitable for me to leave Beijing this time, the three chief examiners, please read this letter first .”

"Yes!"

Ji Chengzhou took a look at the letter, and immediately, his face changed color: "Since there is a letter from Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, we naturally understand what to do."

"No, you don't understand, what I mean is that the three adults want to help me find a way, how can I not expose the fact that I have arrived in Huai'an County." Long Yin replied with a smile.

"Don't expose... Your Majesty has arrived in Huai'an County? Your Majesty, do you want to..."

……

……

Day two.

The day of the township examination.

Liu Hongyi, with a happy face, ran to Cuiwei Tower early to block Jiang Chaoge.

"Brother Jiang, don't sleep anymore, the rankings are going to be released today!"

"Understood." Jiang Chaoge changed into a white Confucian shirt and walked out of the gate of the Nuan Pavilion: "Brother Liu looks like he must be going to high school today."

"Brother Chengjiang said auspiciously, Brother Jiang is the one who really wants to go to high school." Liu Hongyi flattered him back.

In fact, Jiang Chaoge was still not 100% sure.

If this young emperor decides to temporarily avoid the front of the three powers, he is likely to be ranked at the bottom at most, and he may even lose his name and be removed from the list.

It won't be too good anyway.

So, he replied: "I am really not sure about this policy theory."

"It doesn't matter, with Brother Jiang's talent, even if the policy theory is not well written, he can still be ranked in the top two!" Liu Hongyi comforted him.

There is also a saying that there is a first-class, second-class, and third-class in the rural examination.

The second class is the second class.

Not the top two.

Jiang Chaoge recalled the appearance of Long Yin when he left yesterday, and felt that the possibility of him getting the third place was actually a little higher.

"If there is a top three, it is not bad."

"How is it possible? Brother Jiang, let's go."

"it is good."

So, the two walked towards the Gongyuan together.

……

Gongyuan gate.

Early on, he was surrounded by a bunch of students.

When Jiang Chaoge and Liu Hongyi passed by, it was already three circles inside and three circles away.

And at the gate of the Gongyuan, he once again saw a few acquaintances, including Xu Zhi, Zhang Junqie, Tang Jiezhi and Li Zeguang.

Xu Zhi and Zhang Junqiu looked a little nervous.

Tang Jiezhi also frowned.

Li Zeguang is relatively calm, after all, he has already entered the realm of literati, and he can pass the provincial examination... of course.

Seeing Jiang Chaoge and Liu Hongyi, Li Zeguang greeted him: "Brother Jiang, I'm afraid you'll be the first in high school this time in the township examination?"

Come up and hold me?Of course Jiang Chaoge wouldn't be fooled, if he answered confidently and failed, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

So, he shook his head, showing a distressed look: "The writing of policy theory is not very good, I am afraid I won't be able to go to high school, and it is not bad to get the last place in the top three."

"Brother Jiang was joking, the last name in the top three is not worthy of Brother Jiang's talent."

"Just the truth."

Be polite.

Li Zeguang didn't ask any more questions, because he saw that Jiang Chaoge didn't have confidence... Could it be that this Jiang Yu'er is really just a poet.

Just thinking about it, I heard a gong.

"It's on the list!"

"It's on the list!"

"Let's all give way, let's give way!"

The students all started to retreat one after another.

In the Gongyuan, a group of people headed by Ji Chengzhou also walked out.

Ji Chengzhou just put on a show and didn't say anything, but the deacons of the Gongyuan behind him had already started posting the directory on the red wall.

A list of names was posted up.

The first one to be posted was No. [-] Jia, and the first one to be posted was... Tang Jiezhi.

"Congratulations Brother Tang, the top three in high school!" Liu Hongyi immediately congratulated.

Then came Li Zeguang, Zhang Junqi, Xu Zhi and Jiang Chaoge.

Tang Jiezhi's complexion was not very good-looking.

He passed... But, according to his talent and name, he was at least a top two in the provincial examination, but in the end, he actually... won the bottom? !
Shame!
Even in the township examination, you can only get in the top three, and if you want to go to high school in the examination...it is basically impossible.

However, facing the congratulatory voices around him, he had to respond with a smile: "Hehe, thank you Brother Liu! Thank you Brother Li, thank you Brother Zhang, thank you Brother Xu, thank you Brother Jiang!"

After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to add a sentence: "Stealing Brother Jiang's last name... I really feel ashamed."

This is both sarcasm and self-deprecating.

Jiang Chaoge then replied: "Oh, the last name was snatched away by Brother Tang, I... I'm afraid I'm going to be unnamed on the list."

"Hehe." Tang Jiezhi just laughed.

……

In less than a while, the top three lists were posted.

Apart from Tang Jiezhi, no one is on the list.

The expressions of Xu Zhi and Zhang Junqie were a bit ugly.

Because they all know their own strategies and what they write, there is no hope for the top three... I hope that the top two will be famous, anyway, there is no hope for the top one.

Everyone began to focus on the roster of the top two.

"I hit it, I hit it!"

"Hahaha...Second A, I won too!"

"I hit it!!!"

Soon, happy voices rang out from around.

Not long after, I saw a familiar name again.

Li Zeguang!
"No. 17 in the second class, congratulations brother Li!" Liu Hongyi was very enthusiastic today.

Li Zeguang shook his head with a wry smile: "Hehe."

He has entered Confucianism and Taoism, entered the realm of literati, and basically passed the rural examination... and, according to common sense, he should at least be included in the first-class list.

As a result, it was only No.17 in the second class.

are you happy?
Can't be happier!
……

The list of top three and top two will be posted soon.

Among the few people present, only Tang Jiezhi and Li Zeguang were on the list.

Then there is only one list.

Zhang Junqie and Xu Zhi's faces turned pale, and they were extremely silent, not even in the mood to congratulate Li Zeguang.

And when you reach Yijia, you need to sing the list.

The so-called singing list means that there are special people to sing and read the list of Yijia. Every time a list is posted, it needs to be sung once.

It doesn't affect the time of posting the list, it just looks festive.

"First Class..."

"..."

A few finished singing.

Finally, Liu Hongyi's list was posted.

"No. 20 in the first class, Liu Hongyi... from Huai'an..."

"Hahaha, I, Liu Hongyi, won the first class, and I am No. 20 in the first class!" Liu Hongyi was so happy that he almost hugged Jiang Chaoge: "Brother Jiang, you are really my benefactor, Liu Hongyi." what!"

"..." Li Zeguang.

"..." Tang Jiezhi.

The two were speechless.

They actually want Brother Jiang to be their benefactor...

But Zhang Junqie and Xu Zhi were about to cry.

In fact, Liu Hongyi and their talents are not much different from them. Although Liu Hongyi is slightly stronger, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the first-class position.

So, there is no doubt...Liu Hongyi really read the theory related to river control before the exam.

"Congratulations, Brother Liu." Jiang Chaoge congratulated Liu Hongyi.

"Why hasn't Brother Jiang's name been posted yet?"

Tang Jiezhi muttered at this moment, after all, Jiang Chaoge has always said that his policy theory is not well written.

So, according to his thinking... it's not bad to be in the top two, right?But now all the names behind Yijia are posted, but Jiang Yu'er's name hasn't been seen yet?
It's impossible to enter the top three in the first class, right?

Hearing Tang Jiezhi's words, Zhang Junqie, Xu Zhi and Li Zeguang also looked at Jiang Chaoge: "Brother Jiang, don't you want to win the top three?"

"Impossible." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.

Therefore, everyone stopped talking.

Continue to listen to the list.

Soon, Yijia's list was almost posted.

Only the top three are left.

And this top three list needs to be posted by three examiners to show respect.

At this moment, Liu Hongyi was really worried: "Brother Jiang, you really don't have any preparations for river governance, do you?"

"I'm really not prepared." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

Li Zeguang and Tang Jiezhi looked at each other.

If Jiang Yu'er failed the ranking... Maybe they would feel better in their hearts?
Bah Bah!

How can you think like this?
Li Zeguang and Tang Jiezhi immediately shook their heads, and then said in relief: "Brother Jiang's talent, if he really misses, the court will also lose."

Jiang Chaoge also felt a little nervous.

No way?
Is that Dragon Yin really going to knock me off the list?

Is it because I said that the three powers should be eliminated?This dog emperor looks like a dog, but I didn't expect to be so weak, it wasted my sincerity!
Jiang Chaoge sighed a little, he would have acted stupid if he had known.

Just thinking about it, I heard a singing and drinking.

"Yijia No.3...Zhu Yubo!"

"Hahaha, I am Yijia No.3, hahaha..."

A scholar in the distance shouted happily.

Then, there was a burst of congratulations.

Jiang Chaoge was a little envious.

Although he, Jiang, can live forever, and if he fails this time, he can take the exam again next year, but... he has passed the exam, and he really failed, so he is still a little upset.

"Yijia No.2... Yu Jing!"

"Congratulations Brother Yu!"

"Hahaha, I hit it!"

"congratulations!"

There was another sound of congratulations.

Jiang Chaoge became more and more nervous, there was only one left, the top one!
At this time, Liu Hongyi had given up hope for Jiang Chaoge. After all, the top spot...was too difficult to win, and Brother Jiang kept saying that the theory was not well written.

"Brother Jiang, it doesn't matter, you can still..."

"One of the top names, Xie Yuan in this year's township examination...Jiang Yu'er!"

"What?!" Liu Hongyi was stunned.

Not just him.

Li Zeguang, Tang Jiezhi, Zhang Junqie, and Xu Zhi also looked at Jiang Chaoge with a blank expression.

For a moment, they actually forgot to congratulate.

Jiang Chaoge's eyes also widened...

Huh?I am a top name? !

This dog emperor... Oh, no, this young emperor with a unique vision, not bad!
Just about to adapt to the environment, I yelled a few times: "I won, I won... I am the top one, Xie Yuan of Jinke Township Examination!"

Then I heard Ji Chengzhou, the chief examiner who posted the list, speak again.

"Congratulations to Jiang Yu'er, not only is this year's Huai'an County Township Examination top prize, but also the imperial pen!"

"A kiss from the imperial pen?!"

As soon as the words came out.

Immediately there was silence all around.

Then, there was a burst of exclamation and shock.

Li Zeguang, Tang Jiezhi and others were stunned: "A kiss from Yubi?!"

"Then... Isn't that the treatment only available in the palace examination?!"

"How could it be possible for a small Huai'an county township examination to be ordered by Yubi...this..."

Totally unreasonable.

Ji Chengzhou seemed to see the doubts in everyone's hearts, so he continued to explain: "Because Mr. Jiang's theory is too amazing and brilliant, I didn't dare to be self-confident, so I sealed this theory and presented it to the capital. Several adults from the Ministry of Rites co-authored the volume, or the Ministry of Rites also had the same opinion with us, and this volume finally fell before His Majesty's case."

After finishing speaking, he unfolded a volume of policy theory.

Sure enough, there is a vermilion imperial seal on it.

The most important thing is that the words of the imperial approval above are extremely conspicuous.

There are only four words - be a national scholar!
"Countryman?!"

"Being a national soldier?!"

"Wow!"
