"Oh? How do you say this?" Qiu Yan's heart moved when he heard this.

In the Darui Dynasty, the examiner will usually be decided in May and June. The two or three months before the autumn examination are a period of attack for many candidates.

Candidates often need to understand the examiner's experience, then find the examiner's articles to study and understand the other party's preferences. Only in this way can they be targeted when entering the examination room. Otherwise, no matter how well the article is done, it will be useless if they are not in line with the examiner's wishes.

But this autumn examination, the examiner of Jiannandao was delayed. There were first rumors that it was Qi Zhengyuan, and then it repeated again. Qiu Yan originally found it strange, but now the new party leader Pan Xiang was airborne and became the commander of the Du. He had a clear mind and knew that it was involved in the exchange of interests.

Sure enough, Sun Xingming then said: "Although Qi Zhengyuan is famous for managing water, there are also part of historians in his teachings, and he studied under Mayang for a while."

"Qi Zhengyuan is a disciple of Ma Lao Prime Minister?" Hearing this, Qiu Yan immediately understood the meaning of Sun Xingming's words.

Sun Xingming nodded and said, "Yes, this time Pan Xiang came here to accumulate merits, and was determined to use pacifying the swamp as a breakthrough point, rectify the officialdom of Jiannan Road, and then lay a solid foundation for the implementation of the reform. However, the opposing party was not idle and earned a place for examiners." After saying that, he looked at Qiu Yan deeply.

"Mr. Qi praised you, which means that your juren has been ordered on the board, but Jie Yuan should not think about it. If Qi Zhengyuan ordered you to be Jie Yuan, he would probably cause a stir again and cause trouble."

Qiu Yan was silent for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "Is the court going to fight for the party? The imperial examinations are related to the country, and they all have to fight for power and profit. Re-electing and dismissing examiners almost took a break. If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the foreign enemy will be seriously injured by the struggle before they can take action."

"Be careful!" Sun Xingming's expression changed drastically. He stood up and closed the doors and windows, and said earnestly. "I know you are unwilling to be willing to learn something. Who doesn't want to become famous? But some words cannot be spread, and many things can be seen through, but they cannot be said thoroughly, otherwise this official will be uneasy."

"Sisters are taught."

Qiu Yan lowered his head and looked as if he was humble in his teachings, but he noticed the chains of cause and effect in his perception, trapping his body. He couldn't help but sigh: "What ambition to cause and effect! This is to make me suffer the big fuss in the officialdom, but my clone is to experience the various aspects of the world, so why should I join others in the process of filth and silence my divine thoughts."

As soon as I thought of this, the chains of cause and effect on my body suddenly rolled and boiled faintly.

Qiu Yan calmed down and said, "It is true that the younger generation can't interfere in the imperial examination. After entering the examination room, he can only try hard. The others are all due to the luck of heaven, but I am here. I have something to say to you."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Seeing Qiu Yan recovering so quickly, Sun Xingming couldn't help but nodded secretly. When he heard what the other party said, he remembered that it was the other party who came to the door on his own initiative today.

"This incident is a coincidence. I learned from Mr. Zhang that the garrison soldiers were transferred and became worried..."

Next, he said it out in a guessing tone of the invasion of the swampmen and the foreigners taking advantage of the situation.

It is said to be a guess, but in fact Qiu Yan has obtained actual information and has infiltrated several "traitors" in it. He knows the movements of the two sides very well. With some remarks, it seems to be similar, and it has a taste of guiding the general trend of the southwest.

Although he planned to inform Wen'anguo about the matter, Qiu Yan naturally would not come to his house. First, the provincial examination is about to be imminent, and he should not visit the prefecture at this time. Second, although Qiu Yan is a scholar, he is still inferior to the prefect of the prefect of the government. If the person is a minor, he will be lighter. No matter how reasonable he is, others will not believe it easily.

What's more, what Qiu Yan said involves guards. Even if the prefect looks at him with a different look, he will not give orders easily.

But Sun Xingming was different. He was the aide to the prefect and the master of Xingming. He was a think tank and confidant on weekdays. It was the most ideal.

However, after Qiu Yan's words, Sun Xingming frowned and praised a few words, but then said: "The major affairs of the country are about sacrifices and wars. You can consider the habits and movements of the swamp people, which shows that you are active and you can see further than ordinary people, but after all, you are not in your position, and thinking about things is too simple and one-sided."

As he said that, he briefly explained the situation of the swampman, and then said: "The swampman is a mess, and the tribes have fought for years and hated each other. It is difficult to truly unite. Even if they take advantage of the situation, they are just small groups of people. As long as the surrounding military towns are divided into some people, it will be enough to pacify them."

Speaking of this, Sun Xingming turned to the situation of the foreigners: "The Yongping Army and the foreigners fought fiercely, and they were prepared for each other and would not be really negligent. Moreover, since the foreigners split, they have established several Zanpus one after another. Now the main force is in the north, competing with Darui for Hexi and Longyou, how can they be distracted?"

He seemed to be afraid of hitting Qiu Yan's mind. After saying this, he smiled and said, "However, your worries are indeed worthy. I will find some time to report to the prefect."

That being said, but Sun Xingming obviously did not take this matter seriously.

"After all, I'm a little bit light. In the eyes of the other party, I'm just a scholar with some knowledge. Sun Xingming has been a master for more than ten years and knows the situation in the southwest well. How can I change my understanding just by saying one or two words? If I don't know the plan of the swamp and the foreigner, relying on the other party's analysis alone, not only can I have a deep understanding of the situation in the southwest, but I can also dispel my original worries. Unfortunately, the facts are often contrary to common sense. People just beat you up and catch you off guard."

He shook his head secretly, but Qiu Yan knew that it was useless to say too much. After all, he could not reveal the magical powers and could not provide tangible evidence. In Sun Xingming's view, it was just a one-sided statement.

In the end, Qiu Yan could only find an opportunity to influence Sun Xingming with his soul, deepen his impression, and ensure that the other party would report to the prefect. Then he wrote another piece of calligraphy and then said goodbye and left.

"Unfortunately, my reputation is limited to the method of calligraphy. If I have made achievements in military affairs, if I say these words, even if the other party is familiar with the swamp, I have to consider and treat it seriously. Things in the world are helpless, and it is also a humane characteristic. It is obvious that I have the initiative, but it is difficult to perform due to various things."

Walking on the road, Qiu Yan still regrets that his reputation is gradually rising, and he can collect the thoughts he has been entrusted at every moment, and part of them will be moistened to the deity, enriching the human fire, and allowing some to be intercepted, strengthening the people's reputation and majesty of the scholar's clone.

However, this reputation is all about literary names, and is mostly related to calligraphy. In the eyes of others, he is a newly emerging calligraphy master. If he comments on the way of calligraphy, it will naturally attract attention from others. However, if he goes beyond this world, others may not buy it.

"However, the frontier struggle is a humanitarian dispute after all. The inner demon clone is not bad, it is a collection of negative emotions, and there is a faint aura of sin, so there is no need to be afraid, but the gods should not be involved. If there is too much cause and effect, and the Shinto promotion will inevitably gradually sink. This matter still depends on the actions of the scholar clone, which can be regarded as a response to the aspiring cause and effect."

As his research on the way of gods deepens, Qiu Yan's understanding of the power of cause and effect has become more and more comprehensive. He knows that gods and creatures belong to two levels, so it is not easy to interfere too much. Even ordinary monks who interfere in ordinary things are prone to cause and effect and sin, let alone gods.

"But it's okay to rely solely on scholars and inner demons to deal with one or two enemies, but when it comes to changes in power, you need to rely on external forces. Otherwise, what can you do if a person can kill them? Can you slaughter all the swampmen? If this is the case, not to mention anything else, just the sin involved will cause the soul to sink, your heart will be upset, and you will not be able to condense your soul for life!"

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan returned to the Liu family's old house and started to think about it.

In the following month, the weather was calm, but Qiu Yan knew that the deployment of the Swamp and the foreigners was about to be completed. During this period, he also had a dream to the prefect, but due to the fortune of Longting and official spirit, he could only wake up a little, so that Wen Anguo would pay a little attention. However, the prefect could not be involved in military power after all, as long as Pan Xiang did not nod, it would be difficult to change the situation.

Then Pan Xiang had his own plans and thought that everything was under control, so how could he be convinced by Wen Anguo's few words?

On the other hand, the Pan family had a causal dispute with one another before, and Qiu Yan could interfere with his supernatural powers, but now Pan Zhi is crazy, Pan Xiang has an official position and a military position, and is shrouded in the fortune of the Longting, and he also has an official spirit. It is too difficult for all evil to do something.

Time passed slowly, and the date of the Swamp People's Recruitment was getting closer and closer. Qiu Yan knew very well what the other party was waiting for.

On this day, he put down the book book and sorted out his ideas.

"After all, the power is alone. The power that can only be used by a show is limited. I have used a lot of methods these days, but I have never been able to do it. There are still a few days left, and it is the provincial examination period. If Pan Xiang does not change his mind during this period, it will be too late."

After making up his mind, Qiu Yan cleaned up and went out again. When the neighbors along the way saw him, they greeted him respectfully, and Qiu Yan also gave him a gift one by one.

Soon, the gate of Pan Mansion appeared in front of him.

After knocking on the door and the servant came, Qiu Yan was led into the main hall and sat on a chair and waited.

"My second young master has been busy with military affairs recently and has been neglected." The servants waiting beside him kept apologizing.

"It's okay," Qiu Yanze replied, "Actually, in addition to the letter I had agreed on first, I also had a reluctant invitation, hoping to borrow it from your library."

"This..." the servant hesitated for a moment, "Young master, please stay, I'll go and ask for instructions." After the words came.

Not long after, the servant came back.

"Mr. Qiu, my second young master said that the provincial examination is about to be held, and there is no problem for the young master to borrow books."

"That's thank you."

After thanking her, Qiu Yan followed the servant to the library. As soon as he entered the library gate, his soul jumped faintly. The bookshelf of the earth soul's sub-district was eager to try, echoing the depths of the library.

"Since it is difficult to compete with the fortune of the Dragon Court and the official spirit by relying solely on the life soul, you might as well take the inheritance of the Pan Mansion as a guide and break it from the inside!"

At the same time, the innermost wall of the library trembled slightly.

This wall is painted with murals, which are a school where sages sit high and preach and teach. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian's literature, novels are better, updated and faster!
