Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, “What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?”
Shen Ninghua nodded, “If what we’ve guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying.”
If not for Baili Junyi’s deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family’s plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their lives to save each other, heart to each other, this feeling is enough to be passed down as a good story, plus the Tu Su family donated all the family property to brush up the good feelings, even if it is the future of Tu Su Qing Li sealed consort sealing the queen, but also will get a lot of people to support.
A golden phoenix flew out of a family that was secretly supported by an enemy country, and once the imperial son was left behind, then the plotting could continue step by step, and by that time, it was really hard to say who the Great An Kingdom was in the end.
Baili Junyi’s eyes were icy cold, “According to this speculation, nowadays, the only one who has the ability to support the Tu Su family is feared to be the Empress Jin of the Great Yue Country.”
“Well …,” Shen Ninghua nodded, her complexion quite grave, “Now that the border side is also in chaos, I think that the Great Yue Country is afraid to return to Jin’s control.”
Before the two could discuss any results, Wu Ping entered with the latest report and reported back, “Your Majesty, Empress Mother, news came from the border, the Great Yue State re-sent troops once again to lay siege to the cities and pools occupied by our army, and now that the border is supported by General Drainage and General Han and the others, it is stable for the time being.”
Baili Junyi snapped to his feet and took the report and read it carefully, “It seems that we just guessed correctly, Jin has indeed regained control of the Great Yue Country.”
“What about people like Bu Jinglan and Bu Yonghan?”
“Bu Jinglan is missing, and Bu Yonghan is imprisoned.”
Disappeared? I am afraid that Jin killed it … Shen Ninghua’s heart sank, “Now that the two countries are at war, I am afraid that there is no way to avoid it.”
Baili Junyi threw the report aside, his face full of determination, “Since there is no way to avoid it, let’s have a painful fight, I don’t necessarily think my Great An Kingdom will lose.”
“Uh-huh.” Shen Ninghua nodded, “The situation was so bad before, and we made it through, now it’s much better than before, and there’s even less to be afraid of.”
“Not bad, to make trouble outside the country, we must first secure the inside, a tumor like the Tusu family should be gotten rid of.”
Three days later, the Dragon Scale Army was suddenly mobilized to control all of the Tu Su family’s manpower in Kyoto. The people in Kyoto were in an uproar, but the Tu Su family hadn’t offered their family property before, how could the Emperor turn his face so mercilessly?
Before the people arranged by the Tusu family could spread the rumors, the sins about the Tusu family were listed out one by one and written as notices to inform the whole city.
Now, Kyoto is full of students, after the propaganda of the students, the people suddenly realized that the original Tu Su family was actually a spy planted by the Great Yue State in the Great An State.
You don’t believe me? You see, the emperor has found out the evidence, in the Tu Su family hidden place to find out the two sides of the letter, and, before the Tu Su family donated those silver, is simply they sold the border of the grain from the money, that is simply the people of the country of the sweat and toil of the people of the Great An money.
Not only that, with the fall of the Tu Su family, there are many official families, their families, less than one person more than a few people are Tu Su family planted spies, in order to control the courtiers through the inner curtains, did not see the court so many people to help the Tu Su family plead for leniency, that are subject to the bewitchment of the beauty of the spies.
So far, most of them believed that the TuSu family plotting, there are still some who do not believe, but said that the emperor this is a flying bird, a good bow hide, is the behavior of revenge. But within a few days, they were directly hit in the face.
It turned out that all of the previous evidence was provided by Tusu Qingqiu. This time, many people were speechless, Tu Su Qingqiu is the daughter of Tu Su family, she personally came out to identify, how can it be false?
In this way, the Tusu family, which had previously caused a great uproar in the Daan Kingdom, had fallen into disrepute. Once again, a large number of official positions were left vacant in the courtroom.
Those officials standing in the courtroom are on the verge of crying, they are all loyal to the emperor, their families are not very powerful, by virtue of the down-to-earth style to obtain today’s official position.
However, it was good that they were willing to serve the court, but they were not willing to die of overwork! The work at hand has been added and added, a body with several jobs has become a very common situation. Many officials busy feet do not touch the ground, the Ministry of mandarins after the dawning, but also to go to the Ministry of households to stroll around, a variety of problems hate to drive them crazy.
Many officials in this period practiced the skill of nodding off to sleep, there is no way, during the day after the court dealt with official business, but also to help check a variety of official documents, books, sometimes a busy, day and night do not stop, do not grab some time to make up for the sleep of the long ago could not hold out.
The most admirable is the head of the speech officer Zhu Zheng Zhu Ta-Jen, people have passed the old age, but now the busier the more spirit, on the court when they can spray them no place to hide, down the court can continue to stare at them to find faults, before I did not see you this kind of dutiful ah.
At this time, in the gathering of sage pavilion busy out of enke test questions of officials secretly happy, fortunately, they hide in the palace, and did not suffer much implicated. Just, the joy of sadness is said to be this group of people, not waiting for them to be happy for a long time, talk about a number of discussions, Enke test questions finalized.
After ordering the questions, the Ministry of Public Works, after being busy as a dog, finally finished refurbishing the examination hall, and the candidates who had gone through the layers of selection everywhere were ready.
The gong was sounded, and the examination of the Enclave began.
This time, the Enkei, the scale of the extraordinarily large, came to participate in the scholars are also extraordinarily hard. Hanging their heads from beams and pricking their thighs with cones were basically nothing, and there were a few people who almost went crazy in order to study. The vast majority of the students were working hard again and again, fearing that they would not be able to grasp this golden opportunity.
You have to know that the Emperor has been using constant means in recent times, many old officials who have been operating for many years have been uprooted, countless families have been implicated, and it has been said that the Ministry of Justice’s Heavenly Prison can’t even hold that many people. So many officials were disposed of, that means many official positions are vacant out.
Although the wise and mighty Emperor took this great opportunity to re-plan and distinguish the duties of many official positions, and also abolished a lot of redundant staff, but there are still many official positions vacant, this is all opportunity ah! Moreover, the emperor also sent words, as long as there is real talent, can break the qualification.
Honey, there are so many official positions, don’t you want to sit on them?
The three-day Enke Examination decided the fate of many people. This term and Baili Junyi’s achievements were firmly linked together, and were praised by future generations. Because of this session of the candidates, a large number of talents emerged, in the great state of peace in the court of honor, the light of the history of the people praised by the six people, not to mention the other contribution of the great practical officials.
The officials who had just finished the questions, before they could comfortably enjoy themselves at home, were once again invited back to the palace by the Dragon Scale Army to concentrate and grade the examination papers.
Baili Jun Yi also busy feet, in order to maximize the supervision of officials, he from the countless examination papers in a large sampling, do not say, there are really a lot of talented students of the cold family was missed. He ruthlessly disposed of the officials who graded the examination papers, removing several officials one after another.
The next marking of the paper is really rigorous countless times, only in the end to send him in front of the excellent examination paper but more and more. Many officials were afraid, afraid that because they missed which one would cause the emperor to be furious, and between hesitation, they thought of the emperor’s that break the rules, and sent the ones that they felt were good uniformly, in this way, Baili Junyi was busy in the south study for seven or eight days, and he didn’t know how many candles and strong teas were consumed, before he finished looking at all the papers that had been sent up.
However, although he was unusually tired, but looking at those circled test papers, Baili Junyi only felt extraordinarily pleasurable in his heart, these people were the prosperous foundation builders of Da An Kingdom, as long as he honed them out, then in the future, he would be the most leisurely emperor.
For the sake of being able to live a leisurely life with Ning Hua in the future, it was worth it to suffer a bit nowadays.
Immediately afterward, the golden list was announced, and there were loud firecrackers everywhere in Kyoto. Many candidates cried out in pain, won, won!
The bosses of the major restaurants are busy crazy, busy to let the gold list of the old masters of the scholars to leave their names inscriptions, which can not be said to be the future of the gold signboard ah!
Baili Jun Yi played the efficiency first guidelines, ten days later, the temple examination! This time, the temple examination is also quite unique, because there are many students admitted, among them there are also a lot of them are broken, so, the emperor personally issued the questions, do not ask about poetry and song, but only about the scriptures and state policy, moreover, the emperor also sent word that if someone performs well, he can be directly appointed to the government.
The fighting spirit of the scholars was directly ignited, and the fire could not be extinguished. Read so many years for what? Is not to be able to once the golden list, into the temple, get the official position, to realize the self-worth? Now, the opportunity has come ah!
Shen Ninghua listened to Hongling report on the recent reaction of the scholars in Kyoto, and couldn’t help but laugh out softly, “I don’t know if there will still be people praising His Majesty’s wisdom in this way after the Temple Examination.”
Baili Junyi walked in with big strides, grabbed Shen Ninghua’s waist and hugged her as she lay down on the bed, “Ninghua, I heard you say bad things about me …”
The palace maid had already retreated in a sensible manner, leaving only the two of them in the hall. Shen Ninghua moved and found a comfortable position to lean on him, already immune to his unruly behavior like this:
“It’s not like I’m wrong, although there are more places for successful students, I’m only afraid that not many will be able to be actually hired as officials after the palace exams.”
“Hmmm …,” Baili Junyi answered in a daze.
Shen Ninghua looked up with some surprise, only to realize that Baili Junyi had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed. The formerly handsome face now looked a little tired, and the bottom of his eyes carried a thick greenish-black color.
Shen Ninghua took the blanket from the side, carefully helped him cover it, and then gently helped him take off his shoes, this kind of action, he unexpectedly did not even wake up, visible really exhausted.
Shen Ninghua got up, thinking to go to the kitchen to stew some medicinal food for him to drink when he was awake. But before she could leave the bedside, Baili Junyi reached out and grabbed her wrist, “Ninghua …”
Shen Ninghua a beat, turned his head only to find that he was still asleep, did not wake up, could not help but lose a smile, see the wrist can not break free, so he took off his shoes and outerwear to accompany him to lie on the bed, not long also fell asleep.
