Wangdu, the Nangong mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers, ten steps a post, they are cold face, emitting a breath of no entry. All the people nearby took a detour, so that the street at the gate of Nangong mansion was deserted and depressed.
Dada
A green covered carriage came from one end of the street and attracted the attention of officers and soldiers.
The carriage slowed down gradually, and finally stopped at the main entrance. A man stepped forward and asked, "who is coming?"
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open. A servant girl in green stretched out half of her body and said politely, "this elder brother, our wife is the second aunt in this mansion. Please bother the elder brother to let us in."
Several officers and soldiers looked at each other, and one of them went to report to his superior. Finally, he opened the main gate of Nangong mansion. The carriage entered slowly under the coachman's call
Nangong Yan's arrival once again caused a great disturbance in Nangong mansion.
As soon as Nangong Yan entered the mansion, he did not go directly to Rong'an hall. Instead, he went to the shallow cloud courtyard first. Nangong Sheng and Liu Qingqing also heard from him.
She didn't look very well, and her face was as white as a trace of blood. However, she calmly put forward the reason why she returned to the government in a simple sentence -
to divorce her wife.
Rao was Nangong Sheng, who had always been mature and prudent. He also changed his face greatly. He was angry and said in a high voice: "how could that be true! Lichen, why did he abandon his second sister? The second sister did not commit seven crimes, and the Li family did not inform us before their divorce. The divorce letter should be invalid. "
What's more, if Nangong's family is really condemned, Nangong Yan, as a married woman, can be spared a hard time.
The room is quiet for a moment, Nangong Mu and Lin exchanged a look, the eyes are a bit dignified. Of course, they disdain the behavior of the Li government, but at this time, they can only take the slightest harm.
It's not bad to say to Nanyan palace, brother mu Listen to the second uncle. Go back to Li Fu. "
However, if Fanli mansion wants a little fame, it must let Nangong Yan go back.
Nangong Yan showed a sad smile. She was a little disappointed. Two points were thorough and three points were determined. She shook her head and said, "second uncle, my niece doesn't want to go back. Since he can't wait to give up his first wife, let's not have this son-in-law. "
No matter how respectful and affectionate husband and wife once were, they could not resist the cruelty of reality.
Nangong Yan raised his eyes and looked at Nangong mu. Without blinking, he said firmly to the people present: "second uncle, second aunt, elder brother, sister-in-law, I would like to share the hardships with my family."
A family that cannot share weal and woe cannot be called home at all; those who cannot share weal and woe cannot be called relatives at all.
Nangong Mu sighs in his heart. He is a second niece. He is gentle and reticent. Even when the fourth niece snatched his marriage, he doesn't want to be so resolute.
Lin's warm voice said: "Yan'er, no matter what choice you make, there is always a place for you in the family. You can settle down. Second aunt, let someone clean up your room now... " After Nangong Yan got married, her yard was still kept and her maid cleaned it up, so she could live directly.
"Thank you, auntie." Nangong Yan bowed respectfully.
Looking at Nangong Yan, Nangong Sheng gradually calms down and laughs bitterly: before Nangong family is in a desperate situation, someone is busy trying to get rid of the relationship. His father still mistook him!
The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and sad. All the people did not speak for a long time.
At this time, Ruyi, Lin's servant girl, came in in in a hurry. After her blessing, she presented an envelope to Nangong Mu and said, "second master, just now my eldest uncle sent someone to deliver a message quietly. It said that it was a student gathering in the Yun teahouse today. Some articles written by Mr. Huang Hetai, who was a member of the Imperial College, were published in Jingzhou half a year ago One. "
At the same time, nangongmu and Nangong Sheng both exchange a look.
Nangong Mu Bian said, "sheng'er, go to the study with me."
Lin gave her husband a comforting look, meaning that he would not worry about Nangong Yan. She and Liu Qingqing would take good care of Nangong Yan.
Soon, the uncle and nephew left the shallow cloud courtyard in a hurry, and came to nangongmu's study. After leaving the children, they left only their nephews and uncles in the study.
As soon as Nangong Mu sat down, he almost couldn't wait to open the envelope. He took out one of the letters, which was densely written, and scanned it quickly. His face was as heavy as water.
When Nangong Sheng looks at Nangong Mu's face, he knows that things are not very good When he took the letter, his heart sank.
With the level of this article, it is impossible to be on the list, not to mention the top Huiyuan!
Unless, in a short period of time, this young master Huang suddenly opened his mind and made great progress.
However, there is no shortcut to this study. Otherwise, there is no need for so many students to study for ten years. It is easy to read the four books and five classics. If you want to read them thoroughly, you have to work hard.Nangong Sheng put down the article in his hand and looked at Nangong mu with a bitter smile. Both his uncle and nephew were worried.
Of course, they don't believe Nangong Qin will give up the topic. We can imagine how careful this trap is for Nangong family.
When it comes to the imperial examination, the emperor will set the questions himself, and the invigilator and examinees will stare at them with hundreds of pairs of eyes. It is absolutely impossible to conceal how much Huang Gongzi is.
For a moment, nangongmu felt as if Nangong mansion had been taken to the guillotine. Just waiting for an order, the high hanging knife would suddenly fall down
At this time, to transport the teahouse, Huang Hetai's article has been circulated in the hands of the students.
The crowd rose in excitement.
A student surnamed Yu said indignantly: "this level can win the first place Huiyuan, must have bought the examination questions in advance, looking for someone to play tricks on."
"Brother Yu is right. It is because of these people that talented people will fail to pass the test. Dayu is not wise to choose talents by virtue!"
"Brother, don't rush to a conclusion." Sitting at the other table, a blue robed student raised his voice slightly and said to the students in the whole hall, "how the truth will be determined after the imperial examination."
"What brother Cheng said is wrong. The injustice of enko has been put in front of us..."
Other people are also chatting with each other, the more excited they are
The voices of these debates inevitably spread to the elegant seats on the second floor. Two youths with four or five similar looks looked at each other and laughed at each other. They were both handsome and distinguished in temperament. It was Han Ling Fu and Han Ling Guan.
Han lingfu sipped the hot tea and praised: "good tea! Brother Erhuang, it is worthy of this year's Longjing new tea, mellow and sweet. "
Han Lingguan responded casually, squinted at Han lingfu, drank a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "brother Sanhuang, it happens that there are some excellent Biluochun for my brother. Since ancient times, BMW has been matched with heroes. This good tea should be matched with the person who knows tea like sanhuangdi."
"Thank you very much Han lingfu also thanks with a smile.
As a matter of fact, the two brothers are well aware of it. I'm afraid Han lingfu doesn't dare to drink the tea sent by Han Lingguan.
In this room, there are more and more heated arguments in the hall.
Han Ling Fu felt a dull pain on his forehead and a slight frown on his brow. Without his command, xiaolizi immediately closed the two half open windows in the elegant seat.
In the elegant seat, there was a lot of silence immediately, isolating the noise from the outside.
"Brother Sanhuang," Han Lingguan said with a smile, "I think the current momentum is good for my brother. With the help of these students, we don't need to add fuel and fuel."
Han lingfu reluctantly smiles and looks slightly deep. He says, "if we continue like this, even our father and Emperor will not be able to protect the Nangong family until the imperial examination results."
This time, Nangong family will not be able to turn over!
Thinking about it, Han Ling Fu's eyes flashed a bit of pleasure, and felt that the mood of the recent depression has finally been more relaxed.
"Thanks to your plan, brother Sanhuang." Han Lingguan held up the tea cup with both hands, "for the elder brother, tea instead of wine, to the younger brother of the three emperors."
He held up his tea cup, but saw that Han lingfu had no movement. He couldn't help smiling, and raised his voice slightly: "brother Sanhuang..." Han Lingguan was not happy in his heart. He said: what does sanhuangdi mean? He is absent-minded when talking with himself! I don't think much of myself.
Han lingfu's eyes were half drooping. He suddenly regained his mind and quickly picked up the tea. They both raised their glasses to greet each other. Then they took a sip of the tea and put down the cup.
Han Ling Guan suppressed his discontent, looked at Han Ling Fu and said, "brother three emperors, you look bad, but you don't feel well?"
The four words "body discomfort" are like a sharp sword that stabs Han lingfu's heart and makes him ache and gnash his teeth.
That day, after a big quarrel with Bai muxiao in Xinghui courtyard, he left and ordered Bai muxiao to stay in Xinghui courtyard. Of course, he would like to kill Bai muxiao. But he didn't do it after all. Bai muxiao is just a cheap life, as light as a feather. He is a dragon. If he wants to climb the treasure in the future, he can't risk his life. He must leave a way for himself
The power of Wuhe ointment is really terrible. Han lingfu knows from the bottom of his heart that he is afraid.
That night, his addiction attack, even more painful than the day, so that he would not live like death!
He endured again and again, and finally couldn't endure it. He went to Xinghui courtyard tired and thirsty. At that time, Bai muxiao had been too lazy to pretend, did not get up to meet, no soft words, direct sarcasm. Even so, Han lingfu didn't leave. He almost wanted to get Wuhe cream, and then
He knew he couldn't escape!
Can not escape the magic of Wuhe cream, can not escape the control of Bai muxiao!
Now, on the surface, outsiders think that he adores Bai muxiao as he used to, and that they are still as close as ever, but both of them know that they are not in harmony with each other. In the final analysis, everything is just for the sake of Wuhe ointment.
However, he has already made an appointment with him to meet him tomorrow. Although he is also playing with Kui Lang, and I don't know when this ambitious kuilang will stab himself in turn, as long as he does not restore himself, he will ask for him one day.When he has enough Wuhe ointment, Bai muxiao is waiting to die suddenly! He's going to cut her to pieces!
But in a flash, Han Ling Fu was already thinking of everything, and his eyes were deep like a dark pool. He tried to act as if nothing had happened. He reluctantly said with a smile: "thank you for your concern. I just didn't sleep well last night. It's OK."
After a pause, he immediately changed the topic and said, "second brother, after the imperial examination, you need to trouble your side to use your force again. You must gather the strength of our two sides in the court hall and push my father again..."
Their father, ah, wanted to be a king, once "the general trend", he would have to "follow the trend".
The most clear thing about this is that they are sons.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind!
This "east wind" is naturally the palace examination!
All of a sudden, there was a commotion outside. Even the closed doors and windows of the elegant seat could not block the noise in the lobby downstairs. It was like a raging wave in a storm, and the waves were more and more fierce.
Xiao Lizi pushed open a corner of the window, looked down at it, and then said, "Lord, it's Jinke Huiyuan."
Hearing this, Han lingfu and Han Lingguan are both surprised. They get up and go to the window and look down.
A man of medium stature in his twenties walked into the lobby of the first floor of the teahouse. He was plain looking, and he was loosely dressed in a white robe with a wide shirt and big sleeves. He wore a silk scarf and wooden clogs on his head, and his body exuded a strong spirit of wine.
He walked forward at will, the clogs under his feet made a "dada" sound, and his clothes were dancing with his walking, which made the whole person look wild and uninhibited.
At this time, all the eyes in the hall were focused on Huang Hetai. The student surnamed Yu got up angrily and said in a loud voice to Huang Hetai: "Huang Hetai, how did you get the Huiyuan this year? You know it in your own mind. You're not afraid to show off here!" He looked up and down Huang Hetai in disgust. "Look at what you're wearing. It's really extravagant and shameful!"
Then, the student surnamed Liu mocked with a smile: "brother Huang, if I were you, I should hide in my room, embrace Buddha's feet and read more books. Tomorrow will be the imperial examination."
Many people laughed ridiculed, and thought that this young master Liu was really funny, but not exactly! With the ink in the tummy of the straw bag, tomorrow's imperial examination is waiting to make a fool of yourself!
The expression of the crowd was either ridicule, or disdain, or expectation, or gloating.
But Huang Hetai didn't care. He lifted the white wine bottle that he held in his right hand, drank it directly to the mouth of the bottle, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said contemptuously, "I'm really talented, I have a clear conscience, and I'm not afraid of people's words! In any case, today's Huiyuan is the son of this young master, and the number one scholar in this subject must also be my son's bag
"You dare to speak up, you are shameless Another student couldn't help but stand up and said, "if it wasn't for cheating in this subject, you still want to win Gongshi?"
"I can't judge whether I can be ranked on the list or not." Huang Hetai laughed and said in a free and easy voice, "only stupid people who don't have the skills will be able to chat here. I would like to advise you to waste your time here. It's better to go home and study! Maybe I can be a Jinshi next time
The same Jinshi is like a wife. He is doomed to be a limited official career in his whole life. For most students, he would rather fall out of the list and come back three years later, rather than want to join the same Jinshi. Huang Hetai's words clearly curse them.
In an instant, the hall was noisy again, and the students could not help but attack.
Han lingfu and Han Lingguan in the elegant seats on the second floor can't help sneering and let go.
"What a fool!" Han Lingguan closed the window again and sarcastically hooked his lips.
"Second brother, it should be said that heaven helped my brothers!"
After a few days of tea, I've been drinking water.
Huang Hetai's wild talk in the chienfeng garden soon spread. Many students vowed that this man must have cheated. They were waiting to see him make a fool of himself in the imperial examination. However, some people felt that he was arrogant and difficult to defeat. If ordinary people were criticized by thousands of people, whether they had real talent or not, they would have been in a mood for a long time Collapse, in the face of other people's malice, Huang and Tai still smile to meet each other, how about a few words of nonsense!
The following day, people from literati to ordinary people were talking about it. Huang Hetai's name suddenly became unknown in the streets. Even those people began to pay attention to the coming imperial examination, and these news naturally spread to the Imperial Palace and the emperor's ears
This night is destined to be a sleepless night for most of the Gongshi. When the dawn sun lights up the eastern sky, it means that the imperial examination has finally arrived in the eyes of the public.
Hundreds of well-known Gongshi gathered in the palace. They were all dressed in the same color of blue silk and blue rimmed clothes, and their heads were decorated with engraved gold seats and Gongshi Dynasty crowns. It seemed that they were in high spirits.
Huiyuan has always been the focus of the public, but this time, the eyes cast on him seem strange. There is no envy, no jealousy, some disdain, ridicule and schadenfreude.In this strange atmosphere, the examinees entered the Jinluan hall. Duke Liu whispered in the emperor's ear and pointed to the man of medium stature standing in the front row in the middle.
The emperor's eyes followed Liu Gonggong's point and narrowed his sharp eyes slightly.
It turned out that he was yuan Huang and Tai of the Academy.
Today's Huang Hetai is dressed like other Gongshi, standing upright with his head held high and his hands down. Compared with those around the students who are in fear, this person seems to be some of the arrogance standing out from the crowd.
The emperor has not only heard the rumors in the street, but also read Huang Hetai's article on taxation. The article is so empty that if he meets a pragmatic examiner, he may not even be able to pass the examination
Thinking, the emperor's eyes are a little complicated.
It can be said that the emperor, more than anyone else, hopes that this case of favoritism and cheating is illusory, and hopes that the storm can be put down as soon as possible. Since he became the throne, he has been conscientious and diligent in government affairs, and he does not want the historian to record such a dirty mark of cheating in the imperial examination on his political achievements.
But after reading Huang Hetai's old works, even the emperor hesitated to suspect that enko might have a real problem this time
Thinking of the coming storm, the emperor woke up in the middle of the night, and the whole person looked haggard.
"Students see the emperor, long live my emperor
Dense candidates will occupy most of the Jinluan hall, kneel down to the emperor in order to salute, loud voice, but also a trace of depression.
Originally, it was the first of the three happenings in life.
But now the fraud case has cast a heavy shadow on this happy event. No one knows how the emperor will deal with it after the imperial examination.
After all, it is light to win credit in fraud cases. It will never be admitted in the future, or even lose one's head, which is also countless.
The emperor, sitting on the throne, looked around the examinees and said in a loud voice: "since ancient times, excessive taxes and levies have hurt the common people and opened up the history of the Central Plains for thousands of years. Most of the changes in dynasties were caused by the excessive taxes and levies of those in power. Today, I take taxation as my topic."
No matter who the examiners or the examinees had read this article, they did not expect that Huang Tai was the examinee.
Those examinees are afraid of getting into trouble. They are all low browed, unsightly, and suppress the shock in their hearts. As for the officials, they are more casual and exchange eyes with each other, with different thoughts.
After that, the examinees sit down in front of the desk, concentrate on their breath, and then spread paper and ink respectively With the movement of grinding ink, most people's hearts are quiet down, expression of a solemn.
Soon, there are candidates to continue to write, vibration straight book.
After most people started to write, Huang Hetai was still grinding his ink slowly. His leisurely appearance attracted many eyes again. Even the emperor looked at Huang Hetai for several times, his face was as heavy as water. As for the invigilator, several officials began to sigh and shake their heads. Even some people secretly congratulated themselves that they were not the main and Deputy examiners, no matter who leaked the questions, This time it is destined that someone will be implicated!
Unknowingly, half of the time for the imperial examination has passed. Almost some people wonder whether Huang Hetai is going to hand in a blank paper. At last, he began to write. His writing is like flowing water. It seems that his thinking is very smooth.
At this time, some candidates in the back row began to close their pens one after another. Some people couldn't help but look up at Huang Hetai, showing sarcasm on their faces. They said: I don't know what kind of "high opinion" Huang Huiyuan will have this time. Is it a cliche?
Time goes by When the incense in the cauldron was burnt out, Huang Hetai just took off his pen and began to collect his papers. However, the examinees temporarily stepped down to wait for the emperor, several great scholars and Hanlin to read the papers.
Of course, the emperor couldn't have time to read all the papers carefully. He just skimmed through a few sentences at the beginning of each paper. If he thought the article was plain, he would not read down.
Therefore, it was only half an hour. The emperor had read 20 or 30 papers. Most of the articles were mediocre, but they were not ugly. Occasionally, some people put forward original opinions to let the emperor linger on a little, but the emperor still felt that there was something wrong in his heart.
The emperor's lips pursed into a straight line, and his heart was not happy and angry.
He flipped through another paper at random, scanned one at a time, and was about to turn it over in a listless way when he suddenly pinched the hand of the paper. His eyes seemed to be attracted by something and read the paper with bright eyes
Although the Emperor didn't say anything, according to Liu Gonggong's understanding of the emperor, he immediately guessed that the emperor should have discovered what kind of pillar talent, so the dragon heart was very happy.
Wonderful!
This article, whether it is literary talent or insight, is the number one scholar.
The emperor read the paper in a high spirit and said, "good! Well written
Some of the great scholars and the Hanlin were reading other papers. They all looked at the emperor.
The emperor was full of energy and even his previous tiredness was swept away. He immediately ordered Duke Liu to circulate this article.A piece of paper was first passed to the case of Chen Da Shi from the imperial case. When he looked at it, his eyes were bright and he looked down eagerly.
This paper proposes that taxes, servitudes and taxes should be merged into one and collected uniformly; it is suggested that the land should be measured again and the tax should be paid equally in square fields, which is helpful to prevent some powerful officials from annexing land and evading taxes. It is also suggested that the corvee should be spread into the fields and be levied according to the number of people and the land. After the tax, servitude and tax are merged, all taxes should be converted into silver, so as to simplify the name and procedures of collection It can reduce the burden of farmers and promote the prosperity of Commerce
A short article of a thousand words, of course, can not be detailed to the details, but his ideas have been refreshing.
After Mr. Chen, several other officials looked at it, and they talked about the feasibility of the silver folding method mentioned in this article. The hall of Jinluan was very excited.
The emperor looked around at the crowd and felt more happy. He said in a loud voice, "open your name and let me see who the number one scholar is."
