Chapter 138 Emperor Jianhong's Shock
"Did I pass the imperial examination?"
Zeng Anmin blinked.
He raised his head and looked at the disciples wearing Xuanzhensi uniforms on the high platform.
"Passed! Passed!"
The faces of the Xuanzhen Division disciples also flushed.
None of their eyes fell on Zeng Anmin.
Instead, he was expecting something, staring intently at the top of Zeng Anmin's head.
“Buzz!!”
After Zeng Anmin looked up curiously.
Then I saw a vast green light slowly condensing in the air.
"boom!!!"
A picture scroll was condensed by the green light and slowly unfolded.
Just see the scroll.
A young man with a determined gaze.
He has a tall and majestic figure.
He raised his head slightly, revealing his angular face.
The breeze blew up the corners of his clothes, exuding a spirit that made the girls blush.
He looked at the group of soldiers in front of him, his brows filled with arrogance.
He opened his mouth and said something to the group of soldiers.
And in front of him.
The soldiers looked at each other with fanaticism, worship and faith.
As if he were a follower of that young man.
“Buzz!!”
A line of ancient green characters converged into a vertical character.
The font is located on the right side of the scroll.
"If the enemy goes there, I can go there too!"
The next moment.
The scroll suddenly whizzed out.
"Bang!!!"
The scroll flew straight towards a very wide stone wall above the platform.
“Crack.”
Like being chiseled by a knife or an axe, pieces of stone chips fell off the stone wall.
The huge painting was actually printed directly on the stone wall.
…
Everyone stared at it all in a daze.
Even Zeng Anmin was confused.
He looked up and stared blankly at the painting on the stone wall.
Isn’t the person in the painting yourself?
What does this mean?
“Great achievements!!”
"A great achievement recognized by the illusion array!"
The disciple of the Xuanzhen Division was extremely excited. He stood on the high platform and said to all the students below with a trembling voice:
"If you can accomplish great feats within the illusion that are beneficial to reflecting reality and promoting current development, they will be recorded by the illusion!"
"And record this great achievement on that stone wall for future students to admire!"
"Since the founding of our Great Saint Dynasty, Zeng Anmin is the only one whose achievements have been recognized and recorded by the Illusion Array!"
This explains it.
Everyone's face was filled with sudden enlightenment.
Then his gaze towards Zeng Anbian became more fanatical.
Even the same as the soldiers on the stone wall.
Many people also looked up.
Zeng Anmin on the stone wall has a proud posture.
It makes people tremble in their hearts when they see it.
There are only two words in everyone's mind now.
Great and majestic!
This is a place on the list!
He is also the first person to leave his name in history!
Zeng Anmin reacted and was a little surprised.
Is this going to be recorded in history?!
For future students to admire.
Just a simple sentence.
He has already established his reputation, at least within the Great Saint Dynasty, and is definitely famous throughout the country.
Even when he entered officialdom in the future, he wouldn't need much.
You only need to stay in officialdom for ten years.
He will have countless followers!
Which student coming to take the exam would not first look at his figure?
The idol effect is planted in your heart before you even enter officialdom.
…
that is……
Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at himself on the stone wall.
I feel a little unhappy.
This painting is not realistic.
He did not paint in his image the image of himself as handsome, dignified, refined, gentle, suave, graceful, and well-read.
He touched his chin.
"Can I leave now?"
Zeng Anmin looked up.
At this glance, I happened to see Sai Chuxue giving me a strange look.
Even if it was just a glance.
Zeng Anmin seemed to see an emotion in Sai Chuxue's eyes that made him think deeply.
Is she... dodging?
Or, she clearly wanted to look at herself, but didn't dare to look at herself?
Zeng Anmin was slightly startled.
No way? ?
Could it be that the young master's performance in the illusion array just now made this girl fall in love with him?
Uh... forget it.
There are three major illusions in life that should not be believed easily.
"Walk?"
The Xuanzhen Division disciple on the high platform was stunned for a moment, and then his attitude unconsciously became polite:
"Mr. Zeng, please feel free to do as you please."
He even bowed to Zeng Anmin.
"hehe."
Zeng Anmin grinned.
He waved to Sai Chuxue on the podium.
"Miss Sai, I'll come to Xuanzhensi to play with you when I have time!"
After saying this, he turned around gently and strode towards the students.
…
I saw Zeng Anmin walking straight towards here.
All the students were a little excited.
It was only when Zeng Anmin returned to his original position.
He drank the wine on the folding table in one gulp as if no one was around.
Then he put the cup into his backpack.
“Bang!”
One kick down.
Fold the folding table back into place.
He carelessly put the lounge chair, umbrella and other things into the backpack.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he picked up his backpack and walked out of the examination room.
Watching his back as he walked away.
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, someone finally spoke:
"Zeng Liangjiang has an unconventional demeanor, is bold and uninhibited, and doesn't follow etiquette... He's truly enviable."
"As expected of me, a Confucian genius!"
…
There is a saying that goes well.
After entering the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate with me.
…………
When Zeng Anmin walked out of the examination room.
The sunlight shone on him slowly.
He looked up.
Outside the examination room.
Dachun was sitting on the ground, playing with the stones in his hand one by one with great interest.
There were even a lot more small wooden sticks.
A very straight wooden stick.
Dachun also peeled off the bark, revealing the yellowish wood stem.
Zeng Anmin felt a little itchy after seeing this.
If I had encountered this kind of wooden stick when I was a child, the cauliflower within ten miles would have been destroyed.
But now...
Zeng Anmin shook his head.
I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and put them in the wine, but it doesn’t feel like the days when I was young.
"Going home!"
Zeng Anmin's voice rang in Dachun's ears.
Dachun looked up blankly.
"Master? Why did you come out so soon?"
His gaze first fell on Zeng Anmin's face, and then he looked at a group of students sitting on the ground sighing not far away.
Dachun quickly looked up and stammered, "You didn't... pass the exam either?"
“Bang!”
Zeng Anmin slapped Dachun on the head.
"When has the young master ever had his hips pulled?"
He glanced at Dachun and his shoulders relaxed slightly.
"Bang."
The backpack fell to the ground.
"Back it up, let's go."
As he spoke, Zeng Anmin walked towards the distance.
…………
Become famous.
Zeng Anmin became completely famous.
The story of his photo on the stone wall in the Imperial Examination Hall spread like mushrooms after a rain and spread to thousands of households in Beijing.
Whether literate or illiterate.
The three words Zeng Anmin have reached everyone's ears.
"Have you heard? A student from the Imperial College named Zeng Anmin actually led forty soldiers and fought off an equal number of demon soldiers in the steep mountains! That was in the mountains!!"
"Ah? I've heard that, but what I remember wasn't that he brought forty and killed five hundred?"
"Five hundred? Did you hear wrong? Didn't Zeng Anmin slaughter all the demon soldiers on that mountain?"
? ?
The above is the discussion among the people.
"Mandarin Duck Formation?"
“Is it really so effective?!”
"It must be true. I saw with my own eyes at the banquet how Zeng Liangjiang transformed that ordinary bamboo into a sharp weapon to kill monsters!"
"Moreover, the formation is extremely rigorous. It doesn't look like a newly created formation at all. The front and back are coordinated in an orderly manner. It is like a fierce tiger on the mountain path."
"Hiss~"
"So, if the human army marches into the Monster Mountain together in the future, will they be able to fight the monsters that live in the mountains?!"
"It's more than just a one-on-one fight! Under the Mandarin Duck Formation, the soldiers slaughtered the demon army as if they were in an empty space! It was like chopping melons and vegetables, destroying dry trees and rotten wood with ease!"
“This… Oh my god!!”
"If the Mandarin Duck Army Formation really has such a strong restraining effect on the demon race, then the price paid must be high!"
"Haha, you happened to guess wrong. Not only is the cost small, but it's even less than the weapons needed to attack the demon tribe!"
“What nonsense!!”
"Humph! Why would I lie to you? The core of the Mandarin Duck Formation is a weapon called Wolf Scepter, made from southern bamboo."
"Tell me, how much is a bamboo pole worth?"
"this……"
“…………”
The above is the discussion among students from various colleges.
I have to say that the students did have some knowledge. At least the version circulating among them was not as exaggerated as the rumors outside.
…
In the palace.
Imperial study.
Emperor Jianhong looked at the document in his hand with a gloomy face.
Ren Weizhi's case was declared closed today.
But a thorn is still deeply buried in Emperor Jianhong's heart.
He gently put down the document in his hand.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of weathered and majestic eyes.
"The harem interferes in politics."
He slowly uttered four words.
An extremely oppressive atmosphere slowly rose from the imperial study.
The eunuch on duty had cold sweat on his forehead.
Emperor Jianhong's eyes were extremely gloomy.
One by one, one by one.
All the shameful things that the clerk has done over the years are recorded on it.
This record was jointly compiled by the Imperial City Administration, the Dali Temple, and the Jingzhao Prefecture.
The more he thought about it, the more this case became a major concern for Emperor Jianhong.
Others have not sat in this position and do not know the danger involved.
But how could Emperor Jianhong not know?
Although Ren Weizhi has fallen from power now, he was the Minister of Revenue in name and in reality when he was alive!
He is the one who can gain the unwavering support of the Minister of Revenue and is willing to do so many things for him.
His identity is definitely not ordinary.
There are only three in the harem.
These three are the Queen, Concubine Li, and the Imperial Noble Concubine.
Behind each of these three stands a powerful force.
Needless to say, the power of the queen's relatives is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Standing behind Concubine Li was the Prime Minister Li Zhen.
The Imperial Noble Consort is the representative of the noble group.
The more he thought about it, the colder Emperor Jianhong's eyes became.
Collude with the demon clan, collude with the Eastern Religion, and let the harem interfere in politics.
Each one of them has exceeded Emperor Jianhong's bottom line.
…
"Your Majesty, the Chief Examiner of the Imperial Examination Hall, Sai Chuxue, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Division, requests an audience."
A sharp voice sounded respectfully.
Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his head and looked towards the door.
He nodded imperceptibly: "Xuan."
The scientific examination was over yesterday.
However, it was only the imperial examination, not the two important examinations, the autumn and spring examinations.
Emperor Jianhong felt calm.
It’s nothing more than listening to the list of names of those who have taken the exam.
"yes."
Not long.
Sai Chuxue's petite body walked towards the imperial study.
She had already been here once.
I'm not exactly familiar with the place, but I'm familiar with the surrounding environment.
When she walked into the room and saw Emperor Jianhong, a smile appeared on her clear face:
"hello."
She didn't salute.
As a disciple of Master Xu, there is no need to pay respect to Emperor Jianhong.
Emperor Jianhong looked towards Sai Chuxue.
A flash of trance passed by.
This was the second time he had seen this girl.
"You're here?"
When Emperor Jianhong is not angry, his voice is very charming.
"Uh-huh."
Sai Chuxue nodded, a clear ripple flashed in her eyes, revealing a very pure smile:
"I came to the Imperial Study specifically to find you this time because someone was ranked top-tier, achieving feats within the illusion that could affect reality, and had their portrait left on the stone wall of the Imperial Examination Hall."
Um?
Emperor Jianhong looked up suddenly.
Great achievements?
As an emperor.
He knows more than ordinary people.
The magic array examination not only tests the students' temperament.
More importantly, the potential of students can be stimulated through the magic array.
Can you burst out to your limit in times of crisis?
This is also the reason why the royal family is willing to keep the illusion array scientific research until now.
Because in reality, there are too many constraints.
Wise and powerful people are reluctant to participate in the illusion, fearing that their true nature will be exposed.
However, the activation of the illusion array consumes a lot of energy, and it is impossible for everyone to enter it.
Therefore, only students who passed the imperial examination were allowed to enter.
Because the students who can participate in the imperial examinations are the most suitable in terms of both number and wisdom.
But since the establishment of the Great Holy Dynasty until now.
There has never been a feat of such magnitude that it could affect the display.
After suddenly hearing the news.
There was a gleam of light in Emperor Jianhong's eyes, and he looked intently at Sai Chuxue:
"Who?"
Sai Chuxue looked at Emperor Jianhong's terrifying gaze.
A little scared.
Even though he was already a sixth-rank seal master, there still seemed to be that moment.
She felt that the Emperor Jianhong in front of her was like a black hole that could swallow her up.
Emperor Jianhong exhaled lightly, a gentle smile on his face:
"Don't be afraid, just say it directly."
Sai Chuxue finally came to her senses. She was not afraid at all.
But he didn't want to explain, he just looked up at Emperor Jianhong and said:
"Zeng Anmin, he led fifty soldiers in the battle and was trapped in the mountains by the demon tribe."
"During the assessment, he only needs to fight bravely without fear of the monsters. If he can kill one of the monsters, he will pass."
"But in the battle, he unexpectedly created a unique military formation called the 'Mandarin Duck Formation'."
"Choose a steep and dangerous path down the mountain, and using the Mandarin Duck Formation, kill all four demon armies you encounter within a single stick of incense."
"Finally, he successfully led those soldiers down the mountain, hid in the jungle, and escaped with his life."
After she finished speaking, she slowly raised her head, wanting to see the uncle's reaction.
But what she didn't expect was.
At this time, Jianhong's eyes were already dull.
