Chapter 575 The visitor is unkind
Zhao Yuan came with a happy face.
There were several people following him, and Fu Qingzhou could tell at a glance that two of them were Yan Yidong and Yuan Ye. There was also one person he recognized, who turned out to be Dean Dong Qianran of Zhangjian Academy.
As for the other officials, I really don’t recognize them... But looking at the way they chatted and laughed with Yan Yidong and Yuan Ye, it was obvious that their official positions were not low.
Zhao Yuan led these officials into the judging table. Of course, he himself sat in the center and at the highest place. The other officials lined up and sat down. All the officials in the imperial garden saluted.
At this time, in order to disguise himself in front of his classmates at Palm Sword Academy, he even put a fake beard on his chin, a jade crown and beaded curtain hung down on his head, half covering his eyebrows, and he added a dragon robe. In terms of appearance and temperament, he was the same as "Bai Xiaochuan" There have been earth-shaking changes.
Looking at the students from Palm Sword Academy, they really didn’t recognize him.
Sometimes people are like this. It’s hard for you to imagine that an ordinary person next to you is actually a big shot.
When a celebrity puts on a mask and stands next to you, you may think he looks familiar, but it is really hard to imagine that this is the one you see on TV every day...
For The same is true for the students of Zhangjian Academy. Who would have thought that the classmate next to him is the emperor? In addition, Zhao Yuan's appearance and temperament have changed now, so naturally he is even more unrecognizable.
On this side, Fu Qingzhou couldn't help but look at Dong Qianran...of course not at her, but at the simple-looking long sword on her waist.
Xianjian.
Seemingly noticing his gaze, Dong Qianran also turned her head and smiled at him.
The last time we met was at the foot of Langhuan Mountain...
Fu Qingzhou nodded gently in response. He could feel that the young dean had no ill intentions.
"Everyone loves you!"
At this time, Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Take your seats, everyone, take your seats!"
This banquet is obviously not a particularly serious scene. He sat loosely, and the officials did not sit upright. They only saluted when the emperor came, and then continued to joke with his colleagues around him.
As the officials took their seats, Zhao Yuan also said: "I have been looking forward to this debate for a long time - Dean Dong, it is thanks to Zhangjian Academy that I can argue such an interesting question. "Political issues."
Sitting down, Dong Qianran leaned forward slightly and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty, Zhangjian Academy is affiliated with the Hanlin Academy and is supposed to cultivate talents and plan policies for the imperial court."
"Hahahaha, well said!"
Zhao Yuan waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Zhangjian Academy is home to the most elite and outstanding talented men and women in the world. They are pure and untainted, and their hearts are pure. , so that you can point out the country and criticize the chieftains without any scruples! This is better than you guys..."
He reached out and pointed at the countless officials under the seat, and smiled and cursed: "Compared to you old and arrogant guys! Much better!”
All the officials shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
The people here are all smart people. Of course they can see that the emperor does not want to hold anyone accountable, but wants to praise those young people.
On the judging stage, Yuan Ye stroked his beard and smiled and said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. It is because of these energetic young people that our Dayan can become stronger and stronger!"
He opened his mouth, and all the officials responded one after another, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Fu Qingzhou was sitting on the stage, feeling a little weird in his heart.
This debate is clearly aimed at the aristocratic family. This old man...why doesn't he seem worried at all?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Gu Jinchen secretly again.
Gu Jinchen was laughing along with all the officials at this time. Both the width of his smile and the length of his bend were very appropriate for the occasion.
“Hey, hello, Brother Fu!”
At this moment, Fu Qingzhou’s sleeve was pulled.
He looked back and saw Yunlu sitting next to him.
The way she looked at him... uh, why was there some resentment?
Fu Qingzhou had already forgotten about pushing drunk Yue Heng to her twice, and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Before I came to debate this time, my father told me that the person on the other side might be unkind. Yunlu lowered her voice and said mysteriously. Fu Qingzhou was startled: "Your father?"
Yunlu pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes drifting towards...the judging table.
On the stage, a middle-aged man sitting behind Dong Qian happened to look over, his face full of helplessness and distress, and he shook his head.
"Who is that?" Fu Qingzhou was still a little confused.
"Alas, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Yunlu waved his hand: "That is my father."
Fu Qingzhou: "..."
No wonder you are so young. Can enter Palm Sword Academy.
"My father..." Yunlu lowered his voice and said: "He comes from a poor family and has never had much trouble with the aristocratic family. He has worked in the civil service for more than ten years and cannot even be a minister, so he became the former In order to compete with the aristocratic family, the emperor promoted him a few years ago. ”
Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized: "Then... what does it have to do with the unkindness of the person on the other side?"
"How can you be so stupid and still be granted the title of count."
Yunlu curled her lips and said: "Let me ask you , What is the purpose of our debate this time?”
“Do you need to ask?” Fu Qingzhou smiled: “To create a bright road for promotion and promotion for talents outside the family, no, to serve the imperial court. Ah."
"Isn't this it?" Yun Lu lowered his voice: "This must be in the interests of the family! How could they not fight back? He is at the forefront of appointments and transfers, and he has a very good nose!”
Seeing her speaking the simplest truth seriously, Fu Qingzhou felt a little cute and funny.
So he asked with a smile: "Then how are they going to fight back?"
"I don't know."
Yunlu frowned and said: "But my father guessed, They will use the recent events such as Jinchan Temple and Xiaoyu Pavilion to make articles in this debate..."
Fu Qingzhou was startled.
He really didn't think about it.
But when she said this, he understood.
The biggest problem of Jianghu people is their disobedience and instability.
Although I have settled issues such as Huijue and Xiaoyu Pavilion recently, I have also exposed a lot of unstable factors in the world. Indeed... it may become an attack point for the opponent.
No wonder Yuan Ye and Gu Jinchen, members of this aristocratic family, did not panic at all. It seemed that they had already prepared countermeasures, and even planned to use this debate to take another piece of flesh from their political opponents?
Also, the emperor wants to seize power from the aristocratic family, how can the people of the aristocratic family sit still and wait for death?
“Don’t panic.”
Yunlu whispered: “We have already thought about countermeasures, but you have never met us before. If you don’t know how to answer then , just don’t answer randomly, just don’t disrupt our rhythm.”
When she spoke, the other two students from Zhangjian Academy followed her, nodding silently.
Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized.
Ha, it turns out that I am afraid that I will cause trouble...
But this is normal. I can't argue and I have never met with them, so it has become an unsettling factor for my team.
So he laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'm just here to fish in troubled waters. You go and make a noise. If I can't get in the way, I won't say anything. Let's see what you do."
They were whispering. During the interval, Zhao Yuan also delivered a long speech on the stage, said some beautiful words, and then said: "Okay, I see that all my dear friends and all the students are tired of waiting, so I won't talk nonsense. This debate, Let’s get started!”
