Jia Yizhen shrugged his neck and said helplessly, "Lord Chen, in fact, the 10 million Lingjing is not that I want to enrich my own pockets, but that the materials needed for the golden dragon jade slips are extremely expensive. I can't even fake dragon blood jade and Liuyun gold, that's outrageous."
Ye Chen frowned.
I didn't expect to spend more than 20 million Lingjing just two days in Jiancheng.
No matter how much money he has, he can't help making it like this.
But what Jia Yi really said is not unreasonable.
"How much can you achieve?"
Jia Yizhen vowed: "ninety nine percent, as long as you don't confront the sword emperor on the spot, even the heavenly king Lao Tzu can't find it is fake."
"OK, this is ten million Lingjing. Take it."
Seeing such a huge sum of money, Jia Yizhen's eyes lit up.
Ye Chen said faintly, "I don't care how much you steal, but the things you make must satisfy me, or I'll remove one of your legs, you know?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. Jia Yi really makes things, young and old."
……
Leaving the hall, ye Chen returned to the Inn and went to sleep early.
Early next morning.
A burst of gongs and drums came to Ye Chen's ears, waking him from his sleep.
In fact, sleeping is a habit that ye Chen has always retained. In his current state, let alone not sleeping, even if he doesn't eat, he won't die of hunger.
He opened the window with sleepy eyes and saw a guard of honor parked under his window.
Yesterday's examiner jumped off his horse and took out a golden edict.
At the time of reading, all the soldiers and people around knelt down.
Ye Chen doesn't feel much. He is an earthling. He kneels down to his parents. He's not used to kneeling down.
Even if he saw the sword emperor, he would not kneel.
"Carried by heaven, the emperor of the sword said that Trinket ranked first in the imperial examination and was awarded the number one scholar. Now I give Trinket the number one scholar a pair of gold and Silver Plaque feet, a plain silver belt, a black hat, a court dress, a red robe... Come back to the palace with me and wait for the reward."
Ye Chen was stunned.
According to common sense, he should be given the name of 'Hui Yuan' after passing the examination.
Only if you are the first in the palace examination can you get the 'Champion' name.
I didn't expect that the sword kingdom was so careless that it even omitted the link of the palace examination. Isn't the sword emperor afraid of the examiner's favoritism and fraud?
Of course, this is not what ye Chen should worry about. Anyway, it's a good thing to enter the palace.
"Dangdang..."
Gongs and drums roared, and several palace maids came to the inn.
"No. 1 scholar, I'll wash and dress you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Does this champion still have such high treatment?
But ye Chen is really not used to being served by others.
"Forget it, put your clothes at the door and I'll come by myself."
"Yes!"
After some careful dressing, ye Chen appeared in front of the crowd, as if he had become a court official.
Good demeanor and momentum.
"Is this the number one this year? I really have a good skin bag, handsome."
"From now on, he will soar."
"Yes, the number one scholar has been sent to the Imperial Academy since ancient times. There is the name of 'minister'. Maybe a few years later, this is the role of a prime minister of the current Dynasty, below one person and above ten thousand people."
"Cao min and others respectfully send the number one scholar."
……
The people of sword City saluted Ye Chen one after another, respectfully.
Ye Chen always responded with a smile.
He knew that such etiquette was not because of Ye Chen's popularity, but because ye Chen represented the turning of the grass roots and brought them hope.
So these people feel that they are the same kind of people as ye Chen, and naturally respectful.
The honor guard paraded around the streets of Jiancheng, allowing Ye Chen to enjoy the highest level of treatment.
As for Bangyan and Tanhua, they were not so lucky, but were carried to the gate of the palace by a sedan chair and waited for ye Chen's footsteps.
Just then, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
Under Ye Chen's gaze, the examiner tiptoed over and asked, "Mr. Wei, I don't know if I should say a few words."
"But it doesn't matter."
He showed a sigh and whispered, "in fact, your No.1 scholar this time is hard won and has the handwriting of many forces. After entering the court, the treatment may be different from that of previous generations. You must be careful and bear it, otherwise you may cause death."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Ye Chen was surprised.
"Yes, the third prince came yesterday and specifically asked me to let you become the number one scholar. After I reported your grades, his majesty jianhuang seemed to disagree, but later he didn't know why he changed it. I heard that the harem was involved."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "the third prince was a soldier wearing a gold armor yesterday? A monk who turned God into a perfect monk?"
"Yes, it's him. He and the eldest prince are the two most promising people to inherit the throne. They have been fighting hard recently. You must not be involved."
"Why did you remind me? Would you be so kind?"
The examiner smiled: "look what childe ye said, I'm just old and want to earn some pension money."
"OK, this is onemillion Lingjing, put it away!"
The examiner's eyes lit up.
"Haha, young master Wei is really rich. Let's go and enter the palace."
Ye Chen sat in the sedan chair and kept his eyes closed on the road.
I didn't expect that the sword palace was more complicated than he thought.
I thought that if one of the princes was solved, the palace would be peaceful.
But I didn't expect the harem to be involved.
According to those palace fights on earth, it is estimated that the backing of a prince is the harem.
Women are troublesome animals.
I'm afraid that even if one prince is defeated, tens of thousands of princes will come forward.
Therefore, we must find the source of the two competing forces and solve one. Only in this way can we return peace to the sword Kingdom and thus dissolve Nie Yiyun's engagement.
Just thinking, ye Chen also came to the court.
The examiner said faintly, "Mr. Wei, you can't take a sedan chair on the rest of the way. It's up to you."
"Oh, OK."
As soon as the words fell, ye Chen stepped on the ground alone and jumped over to the front of the hall.
The examiner staggered and stared.
I let you go up, no one let you fly up.
All flights are forbidden in the palace.
You made a big mistake when you first came here.
No, I have to run quickly to avoid getting into trouble.
Immediately, the examiner took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the boy beside him.
"Later, you will send this letter to the imperial examination examination hall and hand it to my immediate superior."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, then hurry back to the mansion, pack your bags, and let's go to pingtian city."
"Ah?"
The boy was stunned.
"Why go to pingtian City, sir? It's closest to the frontier, and it's easy to make strange animals."
"You know shit! It's the farthest and safest from the capital of the country. Hurry up."
Ye Chen didn't know that he made an unintentional move and even let an examiner of the current third grade senior official go home in advance
