Sanctification begins from the fruit of the years

Chapter 108 Where you are is the vortex, and there is a storm in the Tianxuan Palace 【Please subscribe, please ask for a monthly ticket】

The Great Zhao Dynasty moved south for [-] years. Although the territory of its rule has changed, the system that has been followed has not changed much.

Since the founder of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Great Zhao Dynasty ended the hundreds of years of wars between the vassals and warlords in the Middle Kingdom, the Great Zhao Dynasty pursued the idea of ​​Wen Yi Jing Guo, and implemented the basic national policy of You Wen suppressing martial arts.

Although the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts were opposed, the dynasty was obviously more inclined to the Academy of Arts. In the Great Zhao Dynasty, the status of military officers and generals was far inferior to that of civilian officials.

Under such an atmosphere of advocating literature and restraining martial arts, there were even phenomena such as the replacement of civil servants with military officials. The prosperity of the imperial examinations made many talented practitioners flock to civil servants even more, and military posts became uninterested.

And the status of those martial arts families became more and more embarrassing under such a national policy.

In the army, there is also a supervising army, which is staffed by civil officials and Diao Si, with the purpose of supervising the military officers and generals.

Under such circumstances, it led to an even more extreme confrontation between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts.

Restricting military generals has always been the consensus of Da Zhao. After all, Taizu started his career as a military general and added a yellow robe to create a huge dynasty.

Today's Zhao family emperor is very clear that once the generals lose their restrictions, the powerful generals will control the military power, and it will have a great impact on a country.

In Tianxuan Palace, the atmosphere had already become tense and chilling.

The second master of the Academy of Arts left and returned, which surprised many people, and what was even more surprising was that the second master of the Academy of Arts, Pang Ji, returned to Tianxuan Palace, and the first sentence he said was to support Prime Minister Qin resolution.

For a moment, the atmosphere in front of Tianxuan Palace became incomparably weird.

On the throne, the emperor of the Zhao family frowned slightly, still tapping his fingers lightly on the throne.

He looked at Pang Ji, the second wife who stepped into Tianxuan Palace, and he was a little elusive about this person's thoughts. Although Pang Ji had a good relationship with Qin, he had never directly supported Prime Minister Qin like today.

Moreover, the son of the Zhao family had heard that An Le had attracted the grandeur of the stele of Wenqu in front of the Qin Prime Minister's mansion, and the relationship between this son and the Academy of Literature was quite deep.

Why did the second master, Pang Ji, stand up to support Qin Lishi?
The emperor of the Zhao family didn't say much, and fell into deep thought, but after a little thought, he figured out the relationship, and a smile hung on the corner of his lips.

Di Zang had just put away the Taizu Dragon Slaying Saber, but he couldn't help but want to pull it out and chop it out.

His beard and hair are flying, the tattoos on his face are constantly squirming, his eyes are like two rounds of dazzling sun, staring at his second wife, Pang Ji.

"Old thief Pang! What are you talking about?!"

"My martial arts temple uses the most precious treasure of the martial arts temple as the martial arts test question, why not? Why is it unfair?!"

Di Zang reprimanded and questioned angrily.

The second master, Pang Ji, looked down and said indifferently: "As Prime Minister Qin said, being happy with the Wukui stone can create a resonance that others have never had, and can attract the help of Wukui in the past. This is unfair. For example, our Academy of Arts has never Why take the Wenqu stele as the object of assessment? Because An Le has a magnificent body, it is unfair to others to use the Wenqu stele as an assessment."

As soon as the second master said this, the anger on Di Zang's face slowly receded, he squinted his eyes, and let go of the handle of the knife.

"Is this your attitude, or the attitude of the entire Academy?"

"Zhu Huoxi and Wang Banshan have the same attitude as you?"

Di Zang asked in a cold voice.

Pang Ji sighed lightly: "This is the attitude of the old man alone, and has nothing to do with the senior master or the third master. There are different factions in the Academy of Arts. Although the old man has been in charge of the affairs of the Academy of Arts these years, he can only represent the one behind the old man. , but everything this old man does is for the Academy of Arts."

Di Zang took a deep look at Pang Ji, and he suddenly understood why Pang Ji left and returned.

It is precisely because An Le pushed the Wukui stone out three feet, and caused the phantom shadows of Wukui of the past generations to appear and dance on the Wukui stone.

Therefore, the second master Pang Ji, who worked hard for the Academy of Arts, returned to Tianxuan Palace.

Because An Le rejected the invitation of the doctor's son Zhu Huoxi, it means that he will definitely not join the Academy of Arts.

Li You'an, who took the legendary road, also entered the Academy of Arts and then left the Academy of Arts, but at least he was a student of the Academy of Arts.

Although Su Zhanxian, who attracted awe, also left the Academy of Arts, he also showed his demeanor in the Academy of Arts.

Only An Le, Hao Ran who provoked the Wenqu stele, has never joined the Academy of Arts.

And Anle has repeatedly attracted the phantoms of Wukui stones of all dynasties. If he joins the Wukui Temple, it may revitalize the Wukui Temple, which was under the atmosphere of "advocating literature and suppressing martial arts" in the Zhao Dynasty.

With such a talented person joining Wumiao, it may overwhelm the Academy of Arts for 500 years!
I really don't want to see the second master Pang Ji's temperament of devoting himself to the Confucian Temple.

Among the three masters of the Academy of Arts, Zhu Huoxi, the senior official, devoted himself to studying Neo Confucianism, studying things to gain knowledge, and devoted himself to learning. He was actually not keen on the collision and struggle between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts.

The third master, Wang Banshan, has a very different temperament. He has always been very displeased with the Confucian students of the Academy of Arts, who are obsessed with making friends with civil and military officials, and who are deeply involved in the prosperous dreams of Lin'an Mansion. He clamors every day to reform the Academy of Arts, Separated from the Academy of Arts.

Only the second master, Pang Ji, is dedicated to the Academy of Arts and is the most orthodox master of the Academy of Arts.

Only Pang Ji was dedicated to confronting Wumiao and caring about the future of the Academy of Arts.

"Di took the Martial Arts Temple Martial Arts Stone to use as a martial arts test assessment. The test is not only about cultivation, but also a breakthrough of the examinees' own martial arts limits. This in itself is for fairness."

Looking at Pang Ji, Di Zang let out a sigh of relief and said, "The orthodox dispute between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts has lasted for thousands of years. We don't need to delay the future of a candidate because of this. You mean it, Second Master?"

"Besides, involving the struggle between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts on a young man will only make a joke."

The second master, Pang Ji, sighed, and looked at Di Zang: "You also know that it is a dispute between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts..."

Di Zang understood, so he stopped talking.

He knew Pang Ji's character well, and he could pay a great price for the Academy of Arts.

In recent years, under the great Zhao Dynasty's national policy of suppressing martial arts, many generals in the Wu Temple have been suppressed. In the civil and military competitions, the battle between the Wenqu list and the fierce generals list, the Wu Temple generals have lost more.

This is the glorious moment when the Academy of Arts suppressed the Temple of Martial Arts.

The appearance of An Le made the second master, Pang Ji, worry about the future of the Academy of Arts. This young man who frequently provoked Wu Kui on the Wu Kui Stone may become the person who leads the rise of the Wu Temple.

The position of Qin Xiang this time is also because An Le once again provoked the phantom of the military chiefs of the past in the martial arts test, so the second master Pang Ji made up his mind completely.

Di Zang knew that since Pang Ji had made a decision, he would not change it easily.

The fire of the struggle between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts finally burned on An Le.

Although at the moment the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts, the An Le Club has never joined.

However, the youth's talent and talent, standing there, is the source of the vortex.

……

……

Outside Tianxuan Palace.

An Le was also somewhat surprised, he knew that Qin Xiang's words were not only aimed at him, but also aimed at Lin Fu through him.

However, the appearance of the second master of the Academy of Arts made Anle feel the spearhead coming directly at him.

An Le was silent for a moment, not quite clear about the specific situation.

If I remember correctly, he had a very happy conversation with the eldest master, and also had a good relationship with the third master.

The Second Master had only met him once in Wen Xin Lin, but the Second Master originally had a kind face, so he probably had a good sense of him.

But he never thought about it, as if he stabbed him in the back from behind with the black belly unique to literati.

"The second master will stand up. It should be related to the orthodox dispute between the Academy of Arts and the martial arts temple. You have provoked the emergence of Wukui in the past on the Wukui stone twice. The second master is worried that you will join the martial arts temple, so the suppression against you will be It has begun."

Just when An Le was puzzled.

Ye Wenxi, the white girl on the side, spoke softly, her soft and virtuous voice, following the spring breeze, diffused into Anle's ear.

"You should have rejected the invitation from the Academy of Arts, right?" Ye Wenxi smiled dignifiedly and elegantly, with the appearance of a lady.

An Le nodded, and Ye Wenxi continued to talk about the conflict between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts.

Only then did An Le understand that the struggle between the Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts was so serious.

However, at this time, it seems that there is no An Le.

Ye Wenxi stood side by side with him, talking softly, while An Le nodded and listened, while absorbing the spirit of time from him.

Since he set foot in Baiyu Square today, he was preparing for the examination before the palace, and he hadn't had time to absorb the energy of the years. Now he just took advantage of the debate in the temple to absorb the energy of the years.

Bai gave five strands to the girl first, Sima Pudu, Wang Qilin, Zhong Taohua, and Qin Huaan, who was slowly getting up, also received five strands each.

A total of 25 wisps of time qi are easily recorded.

And outside the hall, when An Le happily absorbs the energy of time.

Above the temple, the atmosphere gradually became dignified with the collision of energy between Di Zang and the second master.

On the throne, the emperor of the Zhao family did not speak.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the background are full of thoughts. Many civil officials look at each other, and there is a light in their eyes.

The Academy of Literature is the cradle of civil servants. Basically, most of the civil servants have come out of the Academy of Literature, and they have all made their mark on the list of literary songs.

Even, many of them are students of the Second Master of the Academy of Arts.

Therefore, when the second master of the literary academy expressed his opinion, many civil officials became more active and understood the meaning of the second master. They stopped being silent and walked out of the queue of civil and military officials one after another.

Stretching his wide sleeves, holding the ceremony and making a long bow, he voiced his support for Prime Minister Qin.

Those who belong to Qin Xiang's faction should not say it, but the civil officials of some other factions also stood up to support Qin Xiang's statement.

All civil and military officials were clear in their hearts. The purpose of Prime Minister Qin's move was not to deal with An Le, but more to target the Wu Xun family, the Lin family.

The civil servants from the Academy of Arts are naturally quite keen on suppressing the Wu Xun family, so they are happy to push the boat along.

Even Qin Lishi, who was standing in the forefront, was slightly puzzled at the moment, but he didn't show it, and continued to bow.

He stood up to oppose Wumiao's use of the Wukui stone as the standard for testing the leader of the martial arts test. He just tried it, and never felt that he could use it to make the martial arts test retry.

He stood up this time more because he drew out a sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Lin Fu.

Lead to the next storm.

Although Qin Lishi really hoped that An Le would not be among the top three in the front meeting, in that case, he would naturally be able to detain An Le and abolish this so-called young genius by relying on the laws of Zhao.

However, even if An Le succeeded in reaching the top three, or even the number one scholar, he didn't care. It would be best if he could use the law to solve the problem. If he couldn't, he would take his time later.

He Qin Lishi can bear it.

Zhao Huangting's deadline is approaching, and the battle on the Canglang River is tense, it is impossible for Li You'an to stay in Lin'an Mansion for a long time, and the Lin Mansion...under today's turmoil, it is afraid that it will suffer major changes.

Therefore, Anle's backer basically fell off in pieces like residual flowers, until Anle was completely exposed. Without Anle's backer, Qin Lishi naturally had many ways to get rid of this young man.

Just like these years, he quietly got rid of one competitor after another and climbed to the position of prime minister step by step.

As for standing up against An Le this time, it was more to show the sword against Lin Fu through An Le.

In addition, the most important point is that all this was done not only because of his grievances between Qin Lishi and the Lin family, but also because of the relationship with the emperor of the Zhao family. He Qin Lishi... was just a hand of the emperor of the Zhao family to suppress the Lin family It's just a knife.

Coincidentally, he, Qin Lishi, was very willing to make this knife that cut towards Lin Fu.

In Tianxuan Palace, the atmosphere became subtle in an instant.

Li Youan frowned slightly, and looked at the white-haired Second Master in Confucian shirts, it seemed that he didn't know why the Second Master appeared and got involved in such matters.

Mrs. Hua's face became more and more serious, cold and emotionless, but under the indifferent face, there was a wave of determination surging.

Mrs. Yu leaned on the dragon head crutch and shook her head slightly.

Mrs. Ye, who is also appointed by the Ye family, also showed a strange look, her brows were frowned gracefully, and the appearance of the second master of the Academy of Arts made things even more difficult.

The dull atmosphere lasted for a moment.

In the face of the civil and military officials bowing and insisting, the emperor of the Zhao family continued to think deeply.

Finally, the eldest prince wearing a python robe walked out, cupping his fists and bowing: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Qin Xiang said is indeed reasonable, and what the second master said is also reasonable. To avoid injustice, the Academy of Arts never invited Wenqu." Because An Le once used Haoran on the Wenqu stele, but Di Wukui ignored this and moved Wukui stone..."

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Before the eldest prince finished speaking, on the throne, the emperor of the Zhao family spoke slowly.

The eldest prince immediately kept silent, clasped his fists in salute, and retreated to the side.

Tong Diao Temple has already returned to the emperor's side, lowering his eyebrows and doing it smoothly.

The emperor of the Zhao family glanced over, and finally, he passed Tianxuan Palace and Baiyu Danchi.

It landed on Ye Wenxi and An Le who were whispering to each other, and on An Le who was happily absorbing the spirit of time.

Sensing the emperor's gaze, Ye Wenxi seemed embarrassed of being caught in a small gesture, and immediately pursed his lips and said nothing, stood upright with An Le, and gently rubbed the hilt of Xiao Chongshan's sword with his delicate fingers.

"The words of Prime Minister Qin and the second master do have some truth, but the introduction of Wu Kuishi to the Wu Temple as a test of the martial arts test is also the value of this test in front of the temple..."

"The Academy of Arts and the Temple of Martial Arts have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are the places where my great Zhao cultivates talents. I treat them equally."

"How about this, I came up with a compromise method, canceling the qualifications of the civil and military leader to go straight to the champion and resume the original third competition, but in order to show the fairness of An Le as the civil and military leader, Ye Wenxi suppressed it to the point where he could compete with An Le Comparing with the same level of cultivation, the winner will be the champion of Zhao, how about it?"

The words of the emperor of the Zhao family did not carry much power of the emperor.

But the words fell.

Qin Xiang, the head of all the officials, immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is holy."

Afterwards, the eldest prince and many civil officials followed.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The sound of shouting was like waves rising from the vast sea, and the sound waves roared, rushing around the engraved supporting hall dragon pillars in Tianxuan Palace.

A smile hung on the corner of the Zhao family's emperor's lips.

Neither Di Zang nor the second master spoke.

All eyes and gazes fell on An Le and Ye Wenxi under the white jade pill outside Tianxuan Palace.

The spring breeze is coming, blowing the wide sleeves of the boy's white clothes.

An Le stood where he was, looking at the emperor of the Zhao family sitting on the throne, with no joy or sadness on his face.

He felt an emotion of waiting for gratitude from the eyes of the emperor of the Zhao family. The emperor seemed to think that doing so was giving him peace and relief, and it was a gift to him.

Inside and outside Tianxuan Palace, everything suddenly became quiet.

Whether it was the Scholars in the A and B rankings in the distance, or the civil and military officials kneeling and kowtowing under the temple, they were all waiting for An Le's answer.

An Le thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, straightened her waist slowly, and looked straight into the depths of Tianxuan Palace, the gaze that looked down from sitting on the throne.

However, An Le hadn't spoken yet.

Ye Wenxi, who was beside him, already bowed to salute, and said dignifiedly and virtuously: "Your Majesty, let's forget about the competition. My daughter doesn't think that Mr. An, the civil and military leader, has any controversy or injustice."

"My little girl grew up watching Wu Kuishi, and Mr. An only watched Wu Kuishi twice. Isn't it unfair to Mr. An?"

"Therefore, Your Majesty, my daughter is not willing to compete with Mr. An."

Ye Wenxi's voice was very soft, but it was also firm.

In Tianxuan Palace, there was an instant silence.

Sitting on the throne, the eyes of the emperor of the Zhao family changed and became a little colder.

Ye Longsheng's granddaughter... really has a tough temper just like Ye Longsheng.

under.

The emotions of all civil and military officials are changing, after all, Ye Wenxi's identity is really sensitive.

Li Youan smiled lightly, his eyes full of admiration, Deputy Prime Minister Ouyang Xiangru also smiled lightly.

Mrs. Hua, the old matriarch also felt a little appreciation, and also a little gratitude. Ye Wenxi's move was to relieve the siege of Lin's mansion, and it was also to calm the storm.

Madam Ye pursed her lips and chuckled, she was very satisfied with Ye Wenxi's performance.

The emperor of the Zhao family shifted his gaze horizontally and landed on An Le: "An Le, what do you think?"

The moment the emperor of the Zhao family spoke.

On the side of the throne, Tong Diao Si, with lowered brows and bowed head, slowly raised his eyes. Suddenly, there was a surge of majestic power in his thin body, and he stared at Anle, intending to make Anle answer properly.

Faced with this suppressed power, An Le smiled, [Fearless Heart] Dao Fruit trembled slightly, and [Heroic Attraction] also attracted arrogance to intertwine his whole body.

"Your Majesty, if you really feel that this civil and military test in front of the palace witnessed by His Majesty is not fair enough, then you will be banned from the No. , on the Xiaosheng list, I will have a fight with Miss Wenxi sooner or later."

"That's why it's a little insulting for Miss Wenxi to suppress her cultivation. It's worth noting that she is the number one scholar."

"So, to fight Miss Wenxi, Anle is also unwilling."

The words neither humble nor overbearing, carried the coercion released by the Tong Diao Temple, understated, with a little bit of jokes lingering in the palace.

If you feel that it is not fair enough, then the number one scholar will be banned.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to be the number one scholar.

An Le's words made the expressions of the first- and second-ranked Scholars below become more and more complicated.

Among the temples, the officials were in an uproar.

The emperor of the Zhao family sat on the throne, and the expression in his eyes became more and more cold.

It seemed unexpected that An Le and Ye Wenxi both rejected his proposal.

He obviously gave An Le a step, and gave An Le the gift of hitting the No. [-] pick.

However, An Le's words did not take the number one position seriously.

Losing this champion, the legendary path that An Le had been walking on naturally collapsed, and the qualification to talk to the holy master was also deprived. How could he be so calm?
Suddenly, the emperor of the Zhao family showed a hint of disgust inexplicably.

It was like seeing Ye Longsheng who repeatedly resisted his will.

However, the emperor of the Zhao family did not show this disgust. He leaned on the chair, glanced faintly, and the Tong Diao Temple beside him became more and more powerful, like a real mountain covered, and he wanted to stand up straight An Le and Ye Wenxi bent over and lowered their proud heads towards him.

However, An Le and Ye Wenxi both stood upright.

After a moment.

The emperor of the Zhao family patted his palm lightly on the gauntlet, and suddenly there was an unquestionable momentum on his body: "Since the two of you don't want to compete, then forget it. Since An Le is the leader of the civil and military examination, he will be the champion and rank first. Ye Wenxi is the No. [-], and Wang Qilin is Tanhua."

"There is no further discussion."

As soon as the words came out, all civil and military officials stopped talking.

Even Prime Minister Qin did not raise any objections, because he knew that since the emperor had said so at this moment, if he came out to disobey him, he would definitely suffer bad luck.

Although An Le became the number one scholar and ranked first, he disobeyed the emperor's will, which naturally made the emperor feel like a thorn in his heart, and Qin Lishi had achieved his goal.

Li You'an, Ouyang Xiangru, Mrs. Hua and the others never thought that things would pass so lightly all of a sudden.

The emperor of the Zhao family did not continue with this matter.

However, An Le's words just now blocked the continued order of the emperor of the Zhao family. After all, if the leader of the civil and military trial was born under his own eyes, if he continued to question, wouldn't it be that the emperor of the Zhao family had a problem with his eyes?
Outside Tianxuan Palace, the coercion suddenly dissipated.

An Le and Ye Wenxi seemed to smile at each other because of the tacit understanding just now.

The emperor of the Zhao family sits on the throne.

Between the temples, the atmosphere is solemn.

Tong Diao Temple, on the side of the throne, stepped out slowly, and the guns, knives and bows behind him immediately began to exude majestic aura of magic weapons.

buzzing...

There is light flickering.

The long spear, broadsword and long bow were immediately enveloped by majestic aura and energy, and floated to the very center of Tianxuan Palace.

The civil and military officials backed away and stood still on both sides.

Everyone was shocked, looking at the three floating treasures with complicated expressions.

The top three in the hall test will be rewarded with magic weapons.

This is also the highlight of the examination before the palace.

However, no one expected that the number one scholar in the pre-court examination... would be a young man that no one had ever thought of before.

An extremely gorgeous young man with invincible potential and legendary footsteps.

Originally, when everyone thought about it, what Prime Minister Qin had facilitated was to use the storm as a reward for the palace examination, with the purpose of persecuting the Lin family.

Now, An Le, who has a very close relationship with the Lin family, has become the number one scholar, and Prime Minister Qin's plan may come to nothing.

Tong Diao Si took a step forward, the purple robe on his body fluttering.

His eyes are sharp.

He looked outside Tianxuan Palace, and spoke in a sharp voice.

"The flowers will be tested in front of the palace, Wang Qilin, and you will be rewarded when you enter the palace!"

Wang Qilin was dressed in fine clothes, and his whole body seemed to be burning with flames. With his head held high and his chest held high, step by step, he stepped up the stairs and crossed the Baiyu Danchi.

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, he stepped into the palace.

Facing the high throne, he clasped his fists and saluted.

On the throne.

The emperor of the Zhao family twitched his lips, and said a few words softly, and Tong Diaosi lowered his eyebrows and followed his head, a look of surprise flashed across his pale and beardless face.

Then he walked to the front, looked at Wang Qilin who was clasping his fists below, and spoke again in a sharp voice.

"There is a word from the Holy Spirit that the unicorn son of the Wang family performed very well in the pre-court examination. He went to the Chunwei to explore the flowers, and he specially bestowed the treasured sword 'fixing the storm'..."

The words fall.

Wang Qilin's scalp went numb, and he raised his head in disbelief, what the hell?

The palace was full of silence.

On the throne, the emperor of the Zhao family looked playfully.

ps: Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket for support, everyone knows what the background is, and the direction should also be clear.
