When the two of them went up to Dinglong Terrace, they saw a large octagonal pavilion in the center, with a bronze tripod in the center engraved with the great deeds of our ancestors.

There are three wide steps below the bronze tripod.

The upper tea set, coffee table and futon are bright yellow and are exclusive to the royal family.

The middle-level utensils are similar in style but slightly poorer in texture, and are used for poetry judging!

The lower tea set is plain white and is exclusive to Jinshi.

As for lifting people, there is only one futon!

This is the feudal hierarchy, which extends to every gap in life!

Wang Yuan found his seat at a glance. Although it was in the second row, it was in the corner.

There was no one on the stage, so Wang Yuan didn't rush in and took Hu Meng to lean on the railing and look out into the distance!

Others were interested in poetry, but he really had no interest and could not compose poetry.

This trip is just to catch some ducks and put them on the shelves!

"That's Wang Yuan, the new judge this time, I heard he's still a child!"

"How virtuous and capable a child is, that he can be the judge of our people!"

"This is Mr. Haitian's decision!"

"With Mr. Haitian's character, since it was determined by him, he must be outstanding!"

"Of course, he was in the Wang Mansion a few days ago to complete the outline of the philosophy of mind for Mr. Hai Tian, ​​and he also wrote the quatrains 'Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations'!

"

"Great talent!"

"Haha, great talent, I'm afraid you don't know the trick in this!"

"What's the explanation?"

"I have investigated this Wang Yuan. He is from Fu County. He has never even been to the county town, let alone visited a famous teacher. His previous studies were mediocre, he failed to pass the exam for scholar, and he has no poetic talent. How can he write such quatrains and propose a school of knowledge?

Program, do you believe it?"

"...unreasonable!"

"I guess Mr. Haitian wants to make him famous!"

"Why?"

"This involves the dispute over the salt industry in Jiushan County. The Wang family wanted to seize the Yang family's salt industry, so they chose him to make a knife!"

"No wonder yesterday, the city was filled with notices, all of which were attacks on the Yang family!"

"Shut up, if Mr. Haitian is greedy for money, he is already a cabinet boss. He took over the Jiushan County Salt Industry twenty years ago. How could he wait until now?"

"This time, that time, now the Wang family is sitting on the mountain and suffering a loss. This time is different from the past. Although Mr. Haitian is noble, he still has to think about his children and grandchildren."

"Shut up and don't slander Mr. Haitian!"

"Don't talk about sir, let's talk about Wang Yuan. We will know soon if he has it or not!"

Many people are arguing about it!

Many people looked at Wang Yuan, initially surprised, then suspicious, and then contemptuous.

In a corner, Yang Wanli sneered.

Among these actions, many of those who fanned the flames were arranged by him!

First, create public opinion. Problems will arise at the poetry meeting, which will ruin the reputation of this mud-legged guy.

Then pull Wang Haitian into the water, make him infamous, and see how he can seize the Yang family's foundation.

Bai Feifei waved her folding fan and walked through the crowd with a smile, as if she was traveling through mountains and rivers.

Wang Yuan looked at the river in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy for a while, and exhausted.

Hu Mengying is at ease, listening to the discussions and capturing useful information!

Dahu carried three cloth-wrapped Tang knives on his back and stood behind the two of them like mountains.

Regarding the discussion behind the scenes, the three of them seemed to have heard nothing!

Not long after, someone shouted: "Master Tongzhi is here!"

Knowing the master-disciple relationship between the two, many people kept their mouths shut!

Someone stepped forward to salute, Yan Xiuxiu smiled and nodded, and walked towards Wang Yuan to salute as a junior.

Wang Yuan waved his hand, and Yan Fushi turned around and returned to his seat.

Many people who saw this scene made quite a stir in their hearts!

Yang Wanli frowned and squinted his eyes, he really didn't expect Yan Xiuxiu to be so embarrassed.

Not long after, a louder voice sounded: "The prefect is here!"

A fat old man wearing a long gown came on stage, with a kind face, but occasionally he squinted his eyes with sharp eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts!

This is really the seal of the magistrate of Jiushan County, a fourth-grade civil official.

Many people came forward to salute, Zhang Han smiled and nodded, looking without any airs.

Yang Wanli frowned, Zhang Han received five thousand taels of silver, and the Poetry Club would help him.

Da da da……

Suddenly, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of cavalry came galloping!

At the front of the team, there is a young man in rich clothes, and behind them are all armored cavalry!

"Commander Xue is here!"

Before the cavalry could come forward, the announcer raised his voice and shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

The next moment, Zhang Han and Yan Fuzhu stood up quickly, and they came off the stage to greet each other!

Many moves followed!

Even Yang Wanli, who was arrogant just now, came downstairs with a look of fear on his face!

On the entire high platform, apart from the soldiers standing guard, only Bai Feifei and Wang Yuan were left!

At this moment, the five of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all surprised that the other party could not attack them.

Bai Feifei walked over, waving her folding fan, and blinked her eyes: "You are also a scholar, you should know how big the commander is, why don't you go and greet him!"

Commander, a fourth-grade military officer, commands the border troops and has overwhelming authority.

The magistrate of Jiushan County starts from the fourth rank, which is one rank lower than the commander!

Even if the great cause emphasizes civility over military affairs, and the fourth-level military position has real power, it is still an existence that the county looks up to.

And Commander Xue is a big shot who leads an army of 50,000 and guards Longtou Pass.

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Does being older have anything to do with me?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Bai Feifei smiled and said: "Xue Pan is a distinguished noble, arrogant and arrogant, and very small-minded. If anyone doesn't give him face, he will make trouble for anyone! I don't give him face because he doesn't dare to make trouble for me. You don't give it

Why does he have face? He is a dandy who commands an army of 50,000 people. Killing someone is like killing a chicken."

Whoosh!

Dahu and Hu Mengying’s expression changed instantly!

"oh!"

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "When Commander Xue comes, I will repeat your words to him and ask him if he is that kind of playboy."

The great cause emphasizes culture over military affairs. For many years, culture has been used to control military affairs. The military attache has his tail between his legs and conducts himself as a human being.

Even though wars have occurred frequently in recent decades, military attaches are still inferior to civilian officials, and promotion is in the hands of civilian officials.

At the Dinglongtai Poetry Club, any military officer who dared to make trouble would be killed by the civil servants even if he was a hereditary noble.

"...I'm just telling you a joke to see how brave you are, and you still take it seriously! Oh, it's boring!"

After taking a serious look at Wang Yuan, Bai Feifei raised his eyebrows and sighed, then turned and returned to his seat.

I don’t believe it when others say this, but this person hasn’t figured it out yet, so I’m really afraid that he can do it!

People who put up big notices all over the city can't accomplish anything!

"Let's go, let's go too!"

In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Wang Yuan turned around the octagonal building and happened to be next to Bai Feifei.

But when the two sides get up and down, one is the judges' seat and the other is the Jinshi's seat!

No one spoke to me again!

After a while, Zhang Han and Yan Shu returned, and a group of officials gathered around Xue Pan and entered the Octagon Building.
