[Quick Transmigration] Snake spirit disease also wants to fall in love

When the emperor is having dinner, there is a dead silence in the Qinghe Hall, and the scholars are not disturbed by hunger—no, they hardly feel the existence of hunger. On such a big occasion where they are fighting for the future, they all rack their brains to perfect I have no time to pay attention to other things.

Fang Chi was calmer than them. The emperor's meal time was longer than expected. He had already memorized Shangguan Yi's standard answer three times without missing a single word. Continuing to memorize it would only add to the tension, so he He looked up to focus on something else.

Officials gathered in the hall, some of them were paying attention to their situation, and the other part was as serious as a statue, making it impossible to see what they were thinking.

Fang Chi looked at them silently. The purple-robed official standing at the front must be the prime minister. He had a serious expression, and he was talking softly with the courtier on the left, not knowing what he was talking about.

Suddenly, the prime minister and the official looked at them, Fang Chi lowered his head to avoid suspicion, and only raised his head when he realized that they had withdrawn their gaze.

Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he met the eyes of the official next to the prime minister. Fang Chi's shock was shown on his face, and the official smiled at him gently. head.

But he knew in his heart that those two seemed to be paying attention to him.

why?

he asked the system.

He didn't do anything, it must be Shangguan Yi's own chance that this happened.

"The person next to the prime minister is Mr. Yan from the Ministry of Officials. He is worrying about his eldest daughter's marriage. In the spring of this year, he was urged by his wife to come to the capital to get the horoscope of a young talent in the capital. Together with his daughter's, he will give it to the warlock. In the end, I calculated a few horoscopes that match, these people have fallen in love with him, and your name is among them, he met you today, and after a few more glances, he should be satisfied."

Fang Chi was very confused: "But Shangguan Yi is not a young talent in Kyoto."

Shangguan Yi's hometown is Jiangling, his father is only a scholar and a teacher, and his family is not even considered well-off, so why would Mr. Yan count his horoscope.

In other words, how did his horoscope leak out?

He suddenly remembered that in Rumenglou, someone asked his horoscope. At that time, he still felt strange. The person said that he would introduce a marriage to him, and he laughed at him as a scholar. What kind of matchmaker? up.

"Master Yan is not as narrow-minded as his wife. He only cares about family background. Because he is from a farming family, he hopes that his son-in-law will be of good character. If he knows how to manage a family from an early age, then he will be smart enough to deal with people in the officialdom."

After listening to the system's explanation, Fang Chi figured it out.

Speaking of which, he really thought well, Master Yan noticed that he was indeed a chance for Shangguan Yi, although in the end Shangguan Yi failed to become his son-in-law, but was robbed by his friend, the Prime Minister.

Fang Chi felt that this matter was a great advantage for him. Obviously, with the help of Mr. Yan, he had a place in the prime minister's mind.

At least the prime minister wouldn't even know his last name or where he met him.

Unexpectedly, there was such a good thing waiting for him in the palace examination field, Fang Chi secretly rejoiced, and today is the day when Shangguan Yi won the champion, for him, today is simply chosen by the goddess of luck, right? !

The emperor finally returned to the Hall of Harmony and continued his investigation.

The tributes spoke one after another, and the time passed slowly in anxious waiting.

Fang Chi seemed to have been injected with a new force, and his whole body glowed with dazzling brilliance. It was his turn to speak soon, and he felt self-confidence swelling in his chest, and he had the illusion of omnipotence.

"Gongshi Shangguanyi, styled Qingshu"

Following the eunuch's call, Fang Chi stepped out slowly, stood in front of the people, and saluted.

Then he raised his head, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "Student Shangguanyi, fortunately born in Taiping, grew up in stability, the Holy Enke travels in the sea..."

He praised the emperor in a high-sounding way, which most of the other students did not do. They were eager to express their views and forgot to flatter the emperor.

Although Fang Chi's voice was not loud, he spoke clearly and unambiguously. After he finished the preparation, the faces of the officials in the palace became kind and brightened, as if they were the ones being praised.

Emperor Guangda sat on the dragon chair and listened carefully, his expression unpredictable.

Fang Chi didn't dare to lay the groundwork for too long. The old saying is that too much is too late. He immediately got to the point: "Students don't dare to speak nonsense about the shortcomings of the country's system and civil affairs. It is beyond our ability to investigate civil affairs. What the students can say is the matter of controlling locusts."

That's right, Shangguanyi's standard answer was about the locusts eating the crops, and the common people had no harvest. His entry point was small, but although the sparrows were small, the benefits were great. It was his idea to think of the locust disaster.

Sure enough, as soon as he said "controlling locusts", the person on the dragon chair's eyes lit up, as if he didn't expect that there would be such a new idea besides waterways, ditches, righteous warehouses, and taxes.

Fang Chi has memorized Shangguanyi's words by heart, and he speaks them very fluently, without mistakes, and occasionally pauses to tell others that he is thinking while speaking, and not all of them are prepared, so as to enhance his ability to answer questions immediately. Reliability, so as not to answer too smoothly, and then someone will frame him as knowing the proposition.

He quoted suggestions on controlling locusts from several agricultural books, one of which is out of print now, and none of the scholars present had any collections. Seeing that he could speak out, they thought to themselves that he had read more books.

In addition to the agricultural books, Fang Chi also quoted relevant expositions in the history books, so that all the sub-collections of classics and history were covered, and he learned from the past and the present without being arbitrary.

His words were clear and his opinions were to the point. Everyone was a little fascinated, and some secretly marveled. The depth of this scholar is really unpredictable. This is not "close your ears to what is going on outside the window". Obviously, he knows more than just the things in the book basket. something.

Fang Chi's voice was clear, and he uttered the last word. The audience was silent. His voice echoed slightly in the hall, shaking in the ears of the officials, and gave them more impact.

Emperor Guang was silent for a long time, the eunuch next to him understood his expression, did not dare to continue to report, but quietly waited for him to speak.

Emperor Guang gave a response after being silent: "Your name is... Shangguan Yi. Is that so?"

"The student is Shangguan Yi." Fang Chi hurriedly replied.

Emperor Guang nodded and winked at the waiter next to him: "Give wine."

Then he signaled to the eunuch to continue reporting.

Then the eunuch dragged his voice and said: "Gongshi Xu Wenqiang, the word Kezhi—"

The waiter walked down the jade steps, holding the wine in his hand, and walked towards Fang Chi. Fang Chi took the wine glass in his hand, and was inexplicably shocked. He had traveled to ancient times for so long, and at this moment he seemed to finally feel the power of the feudal emperor system. Wei Li, it's just this glass of wine, originally it was just an insignificant glass of wine, but at this moment, how pleasantly surprised he is...

The eyes of the people around him paying close attention, and the premonition of success, are so charming. He finally understands why so many heroes are fighting to the death for the throne, and he also finally understands why so many people go to the mountains of knives and oil pans for the sake of the emperor. .

It's all because the emperor's charm is too great. Today, Emperor Guang's favor makes everyone around him respect him like a god.

He drank the wine given by the emperor and thought it was the best wine he had ever drunk in his life.

……

For the next selection, Fang Chi has been distracted. Although the surface is still calm, his heart is actually light and he is a little lost.

This continued until...

A clear voice woke him up.

"Student He Wei."

It was He Wei, Fang Chi woke up suddenly, his pupils shrank to the size of a needle eye.

He should have heard his own answer, and he didn't know how he felt about that extremely smooth opening statement and that plausible argument.

I don't know how he feels about his brother who sleeps in bed every day, doesn't read books and doesn't do business, but dares to say on stage that "he doesn't hear things outside the window, and he only reads sage books".

That's just tactical strategy, you get the idea, right?Fang Chi thought to himself.

Fang Chi's surprise from the previous moment was forgotten in a blink of an eye, almost frightened, he paid attention to the person at the front of the team.

"Students think..."

He Wei didn't lay the groundwork, and directly talked about his own point of view. Since Fang Chi made his start, other tribute scholars have followed suit. The opening remark "Students were born in a world of peace and prosperity" was heard by the officials present. Calloused, but also feel understandable, however, suddenly, No. 1 will try to break the spell.

The officials suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although it is not good to flatter His Majesty, if you don't do it alone, something will happen, right?

Emperor Guang's expression changed. His expression, which had remained unchanged since hearing Fang Chi's answer, changed again.

He Wei didn't seem to notice that Long Yan was angry, his voice was not chaotic at all, the voice of his statement was as clear as ice and snow, and his voice resounded in the hall and penetrated into people's hearts. Everyone felt that he was very knowledgeable in every word .

But whether he can impress the emperor with knowledge alone is a question.

Officials are like domestic dogs, a disobedient dog, should the owner want it or not?

His words also rang in Fang Chi's heart, Fang Chi felt a little pity for him, why didn't he say something flattering?

His heart moved, and he asked the system: "The original statement of this session is different from today's?"

The system wondered why he made such a statement.

Fang Chi said: "If he said it before and doesn't say it now, he might be angry at me for not doing my usual business, but showing off at a critical moment. If this is the case, his result will not be very good."

"You are overthinking. His statement today is exactly the same as the original statement."

"That's good." Fang Chi said.

Tanhua is still his, and he won the top one, which can relieve him to some extent.

After He Wei finished his statement, the eunuch said that the palace examination was over, and after a while, Emperor Guangda stood up from his seat, ink had already been written on the paper in front of him, and the names of all the first, second, and third graders had been written. .

Emperor Guangda left Qinghe Hall and left the result to the eunuch to announce.

The emperor's list on the side had already been printed with a jade seal. The officials of the Imperial Academy copied the results written by the emperor to the emperor's list.

After the official made the last stroke, the imperial list was handed over to the chief eunuch.

The eunuch held up the imperial list and sang first, second, and third in turn.

"A top three, Shangguan Yi, Zhou Heng, He Wei"

"Ten top two, Xu Yuanfa..."

There are a total of 49 people in the top three. These 49 people have become Jinshi, and there are several people who are also Jinshi. They are written on the auxiliary list, but the eunuch did not read it out.

After all the names were read out, some families in the hall were happy and others were sad.

The eunuch announced that "all the tributes will come out of the palace", and said that the emperor will hold a dragon feast at Luye Lake ten days later, and all Jinshi must be present. Before that, everyone must sign in. Then the future is ruined.

After speaking, the tributes and officials left.The officials walked in front, and the tributes followed.

Afterwards, the imperial list was posted outside the Meridian Gate, where it was watched by the whole world.

Fang Chi and He Wei were the last few to leave the hall. He Wei had to come out last because he was at the front of the line, while Fang Chi walked slowly because he had to wait for him.

His face was a little red, his heart was a little flustered, and finally walked side by side with He Wei, and he opened his mouth to say something to relax the atmosphere.

Before speaking, he couldn't help looking up at He Wei's face, this was the first time he saw his face today, He Wei's face was blank, his eyebrows were not wrinkled, his eyes were not red, and he had no expression at all.

He was a little unsure whether he was thinking too much, He Wei actually didn't think about anything.

"Brother He..."

While Fang Chi was talking, someone bumped his shoulder—"Brother Fang!"

someone called.

"Brother Fang! Congratulations on winning the number one prize!"

It turned out that he was the last to leave, and there were many people waiting for him outside the door, trying to get close to him.

Those were all the people who once swarmed He Weizhong when he met Yuan.

Now, he rushed towards Fang Chi without hesitation.

Fang Chi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly looked at He Wei.

He Wei followed the flow of people and moved away from him. Fang Chi was immediately surrounded by students, and He Wei could not be seen in the crowd.

"..." Fang Chi blocked what he wanted to say, and He Wei got angry, for sure.

"Brother Fang, congratulations, today you are the No. [-] in high school, why don't you give me a face and come together..."

"Brother Fang, you really don't want to make a big deal, what a blockbuster! Alas, I said, thanks to you, I didn't think of what to answer at first. Inspired by you, I said a lot of flattering words at the beginning. It actually gave me a flash of inspiration, and I came up with a good idea! I can be said to have performed supernormally, and just won the Jinshi! Brother Fang, I have to thank you very much!"

Fang Chi was surrounded by the crowd, with a fake smile on his face, he suddenly realized that it was really a fake smile, no matter how decent and bright Shangguan Yi looked, he was still dirty in his bones, so he won the first prize, A true gentleman like He Wei cannot win the number one prize just because he is a true gentleman.

No matter how unsociable Shangguan Yi is on the surface, but after winning the first prize, he must have comforted these people who came forward to save face.

Just like he is doing now.

"Where."

"Everyone is the one, the imperial examination has worked hard..."

"To be a farmer in the morning, and to enter the Hall of the Son of Heaven in the evening, my long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled. This is all thanks to the blessing of the Son of Heaven and everyone..."

Fang Chi said with joy, and took a peek from the crowd, and saw the dazzling sunset in the sky, and the person who was about to blend into the twilight.

He Wei.

He suddenly couldn't keep smiling.

Brothers are going to be lost, he, the number one pick, is really... aggrieved.

"Everyone, excuse me! Let's talk about something later, um... okay, okay, see you at the Dragon Banquet, excuse me! I still have important things to deal with!..."

Fang Chi squeezed out from the encirclement of the crowd, and ran towards the direction He Wei left.

The noise behind him gradually moved away, and he was able to concentrate on looking in front of him, watching He Wei's back carefully. He found that He Wei felt a little lonely now.

As he was running, his left shoulder bumped into He Wei's right shoulder. He Wei frowned and turned around. Fang Chi smiled shyly and said, "Oh, good brother, just spare me this time, it's me Not very kind."

He Wei didn't even have an expression.

"It hurts so much to be so angry." Fang Chi walked in step with him, bumping into his shoulder.

He Wei didn't say anything.

Fang Chi's voice suddenly became louder, and he said as if he wanted to confess everything: "Okay! I'll just say it straight, I'm a treacherous man! I've thought about these things many times about how to become the champion and what homework to do. I thought about it when I was lying on the bed in a daze, and I also thought about it when I was dreaming at night! I am such a person who wants to be a high-ranking official and want to be rich. Blame me, just blame you for being shameless and inferior to me, do you admit it or not?!"

He Wei's eyes flickered, stopped, and looked at him seriously.

Fang Chi also stopped and looked at him.

"Isn't it good for you to be your gentleman and I to be my hypocrite?"

"There is only one problem now. You are an honest gentleman, do you still think highly of me as a hypocrite? Are you still willing to give me face? And..." Fang Chi's voice was a little trembling, a little anxious, and a little shy: "Will you still be my friend? what..."

Fang Chi buried his head deeply. He felt that when he confessed to his girlfriend affectionately before, he was not as affectionate as he is now, and he was not as anxious as he is now. He also worked hard for this long-time friend. The key is that He Wei deserves his attention. So hard.

He raised his head in trepidation and looked at He Wei's face.

"What do you think?"

He Wei smiled quickly, and the smile disappeared quickly, like fireworks.

Fang Chi couldn't understand what he meant, and was still worried.

"Brother, I'm rich and honored, so I won't forget you." He Wei said suddenly.

"Huh?" Fang Chi didn't understand what He Wei was saying with a strange tone.

"You said this, don't you remember?" He Wei asked.

"...Oh, oh!" Fang Chi nodded hurriedly, he remembered, he said it, he said it to He Wei when he was joking.

"Why did you mention this?" He stared at He Wei intently, waiting for his answer.

"Although there is no wealth now, it is better than wealth. After all, wealth is in front of you, isn't it? Don't you show it? How can you not forget me?" He Wei rarely raised his eyebrows and looked at him jokingly.

"Haha...heh..."

He idiot, I knew I didn't see you wrong, the two of us didn't break up so easily!

Fang Chi smirked at first, and then smiled deeply. When he came back to his senses, he wondered if he was insane, so he quickly stopped laughing.

He thought about it seriously, and said: "I understand what Brother He means. Tonight, to celebrate the two of us being ranked first, we have to go out and have fun. Of course, someone from our side will treat us."

He and He Wei looked at each other, and they laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

It was the first time for Fang Chi to see He smiling so heartily. He looked so good when he smiled. Fang Chi sighed, this kid is really good-looking, good-looking and good at everything.
