Wang Tai did not dissuade him, but looked at Yang Xuanlan with a burning gaze.
Amidst the clatter of footsteps, all the civil and military officials left the main hall of Youda in one breath.
"Master Wang, what are you talking about?"
Yang Xuanlan looked away, looked at Wang Tai, and said with a livid face.
"Yang Xuanlan, you don't think you can't see anything, do you?"
Wang Tai said with consternation that his name for Yang Xuanlan had changed. Using the public to avenge private affairs has always been something Wang Tai hated very much.
Wang Tai's way of doing things can be seen in the way he behaves. Even if others protect his son, he won't agree with it.
Yang Xuanlan has already violated his taboo by doing this.
"I was just suspicious at first. Your surname is Yang. When you submitted your name to the martial arts department, you deleted his name. During the martial arts competition, you often entered the examination room. In the last competition, you didn't even say a word of encouragement before leaving.
Pick up and leave.”
"But now in the essay review, you graded his paper privately, and the article was obviously very good, but it was reduced to nothing... Yang Xuanlan, I can't help but doubt your approach and style."
Wang Tai said in a deep voice.
"When did you investigate me?"
Yang Xuanlan's pupils shrank and he said in a cold voice.
Just relying on guesswork, Wang Tai would not dare to tell him with such certainty.
"After the martial arts examination, the results were not available until recently."
Wang Tai said.
"His!"
Yang Xuanlan took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and countless thoughts ran through his mind. Since Wang Tai said this in front of him, it was useless to say anything to deny it.
.
"That's right. We are indeed from the same clan. But so what? As the governor of Langya County, do I have to avoid a candidate? I don't know when the Han Dynasty had such a rule."
Yang Xuanlan said in a deep voice.
"You really don't need to avoid taboos, but at least you should handle it fairly."
Wang Tai looked at Yang Xuanlan and said in a deep voice.
"Humph, Mr. Wang. I still say the same thing. This article is full of absurdity, nonsense, and childish ridicule. This kind of article will never pass the review under my hands."
Yang Xuanlan put his hands behind his hands and said slowly:
"I don't care what you say. It doesn't matter whether you say I'm avenging a personal vendetta or anything else. In short, there is absolutely no way there is a name like this on the literary test list."
This interpretation is so categorical that there is no doubt about it.
Although Wang Tai was a famous figure in the military, they were on equal footing in this matter, and Yang Xuanlan didn't even have to look at his face.
As for Wang Tai's accusation, as the majestic consort of Chaoyang, is he still afraid?
"Yang Xuanlan, how dare you!"
Wang Tai was furious:
"You have a personal grudge with that Yang Ji first, and you dare to avenge it publicly later. Aren't you afraid of the iron law of the imperial court?"
"Hmph, what a big hat. I don't avoid suspicion when I'm external, and I don't avoid relatives when I'm internal. I act in accordance with the laws of court, so how can I avenge my personal revenge publicly? - Mr. Wang, are you scaring me?"
Yang Xuanlan flicked his sleeves and sneered.
Wang Tai was both a military commander, and apart from being older than him, Wang Tai didn't have much more power. Wang Tai's repeated entanglements made Yang Xuanlan a little disgusted.
It doesn't matter about other things. But when it comes to Yang Ji, there is no way he will give in!
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Wang Tai said "good" three times in a row. He grabbed Yang Ji's test paper on the table with his palm and said with an angry smile:
"You dare to act like this in such a big matter as the martial arts examination. Okay. Just hand in this list. I will show my face and go to the court to file a complaint. I will sue King Taiyuan for connivance, and I will sue you Yang Xuan."
It’s a dirty job. When the time comes, I will bring this article to the court in person to see what the court says!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned livid, his sleeves and robes were shaking, and he was obviously extremely angry.
Whoosh!
On the other side, after hearing Wang Tai's words, Yang Xuanlan's expression suddenly changed, and his previous calmness and indifference were gone.
He also didn't expect that Wang Tai's reaction would be so violent.
He was a royal relative and had a high status, and King Taiyuan was the prince of the Han Dynasty. Yang Xuanlan did not expect that Wang Tai would not only sue the court but also King Taiyuan for the sake of an unrelated Yang Ji.
This is tantamount to offending a royal prince to death. It will definitely not be of any benefit to Wang Tai himself.
"Wang Tai, how dare you!——"
Yang Xuanlan said with a sullen face, even General Wang stopped shouting, obviously he was extremely angry.
Wang Tai laughed angrily, his black hair trembling:
"Yang Xuanlan, you can give it a try. I have presided over the martial arts examination for more than ten times, and there has always been no rift between colleagues. But for you, I can make an exception!"
The last sentence was so shocking that it made the whole hall rumble and reverberate. It was obvious that he had put his mind to it and meant what he said.
Yang Xuanlan's face was livid, and his eyes met Wang Tai's, eyes changing.
Yang Xuanlan has not been involved in the military for a long time, but he still knows more or less about Wang Tai who was transferred here.
With Wang Tai's reputation in the military, I'm afraid he can actually do it.
He really went to the court and made things worse.
He had just married Princess Chaoyang, and his political and military footing was not yet stable. If Prince Taiyuan She was involved because of this matter, it would be very detrimental to him.
I'm afraid even the people in Taiyuan Prince's Palace would be very critical of me.
But if Yang Ji is let go like this, how can he be willing to do so? If he fails to defeat the tiger, he will suffer from it. If he misses this time, he will be in constant trouble in the future.
Yang Xuanlan remained silent.
"Master Wang, do you have to approve this article?"
Yang Xuanlan looked at Wang Tai and said in a deep voice.
"I have a clear conscience about major border issues. Talents like this cannot be buried here."
Wang Tai spoke in a sonorous voice.
Yang Xuanlan looked at Wang Tai with anger flashing and his expression even more uncertain.
"good!"
Yang Xuanlan spoke fiercely, holding back his anger:
"If you want to have your own way, I won't stop you. Everything is up to you. But - I hope you won't regret it!"
boom!
Yang Xuanlan waved his sleeves fiercely, as if he had made some kind of determination. Yang Xuanlan dropped these words, turned around in dismay, and turned around and left.
Faced with Wang Tai's strength, Yang Xuanlan had to choose to compromise temporarily.
Yang Ji's matter was missed this time, and there will be another chance to deal with him in the future. But if Wang Tai is allowed to sue the court when he is not yet stable, it will be greatly detrimental to his career.
King Taiyuan will also be disappointed in his abilities and lose trust in him.
These are things that Yang Xuanlan cannot afford at present.
…………
Time slowly passed, and there were fewer and fewer candidates in Langya City.
rustle!
In Wusheng Inn, Yang Ji sat upright in front of the desk, holding a brush in one hand and writing quickly. From time to time, Yang Ji would raise his head, with a look of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
During the past few days at the inn, Yang Ji thought about martial arts every day. He summarized his experience in fighting various sects, wealthy families, evil ways, holy places and secret martial arts geniuses in the martial arts examination.
In addition, "Wrath of the Underlord", which has huge flaws, has also made great improvements in the past few days.
