Spring goes to autumn, and the cold and heat are easy to meet.

Nie Yang is a young child on the outside, but on the inside, he is a scheming adult.

On the one hand, he helped his master take care of the private school, and on the other hand, he absorbed the knowledge of this era like a whale swallowing a dragon. The master didn't stop him when he saw it, and occasionally pointed out to Nie Yang. In his eyes, Nie Yang is destined to be an extraordinary person, and if he has a good future in the future, he can also benefit.

When Nie Yang was ten years old, his master suggested that he try his luck in the Tongsheng Examination.

The children's examination is divided into three stages: the county examination, the prefectural examination and the hospital examination.

Even if it can't go further, it's much better than ordinary people.

Nie Yang said humbly, "The kid's foundation is still shallow, I'm afraid he won't pass the test." ”

The master said, "The child test is not as difficult as you think, and according to your current skills, there is probably no problem." ”

Participating in the children's examination required complicated procedures, and the master asked him to review with peace of mind, and personally ran around and ran west to complete all the procedures.

Nie Yang watched from the sidelines, with an indescribable melancholy in his heart.

Whether it was Nie Qing or this master, they didn't know what kind of bullshit the real Nie Yang was.

The master borrowed some money from Nie Yang and let him take a ride to take the children's exam.

As the master expected, the difficulty of the Tongsheng test was not high, and it was not the slightest challenge for Nie Yang.

The first time he took the exam, he became a gift, and at the same time became the youngest one in that class, and he was also known as a genius.

Nie Yang has a natural treatment, and his life is much better, he still stays in the private school to earn a living, and spends more time studying every day.

Quietly preparing for the exam for several years, Nie Yang participated in the Qiuqiu Township Examination at the age of sixteen, Zhongjieyuan, and then participated in the Chunqiu, Zhonghuiyuan, and performed very well in the palace examination.

did not reach the weak crown, but he was in the middle of three yuan, and for a while, Nie Yang's worth rose, and the forces that wooed him were endless.

Outsiders thought that Nie Yang would float because of this, who knew that this little champion Lang was calm and calm, and his style of action was very good, if he was thrown into the heap of powerful people in Beijing, just looking at his temperament, he really couldn't see that Nie Yang was a beggar, but more like a natural rich man.

Nie Yang didn't float, because he knew very well that the champion only got a ticket to enter the officialdom, not a direct ticket to the end.

What height he can climb in the future and how much power he controls depends on his future operation.

At the Qionglin banquet, how many people wanted to see what this champion who was not as weak as the crown looked like.

Nie Yang had a harmless smile on his face, and he was still comfortable moving between the powerful, and his every move was like a nerd who studied hard in the cold window, and he was more like a long-sleeved officialdom veteran who was good at dancing. Before the palace test, Nie Yang had already tried his best to find out the situation between the DPRK and China.

The current emperor's surname is Nie, Taikang was thirty-two years old in the first year of his accession to the throne, and he has five sons and three daughters under his knees, and the first four princes have reached adulthood, but only the fifth prince - who is also the crown prince born by the Yuan Dynasty has not yet weakened the crown, counting, he is still half a year older than Nie Yang.

A few years ago, Empress Yuan died of illness, and the emperor deliberately suppressed Empress Yuan's mother's family, the Zhenguo Gong lineage, plus the four older princes entered the court one after another to do business after they became adults, and there was a faint tendency to besiege the crown prince. The crown prince is only the prince of the empire, and his enjoyment is only a step lower than that of the emperor. However, after all, he is not the emperor, and he is still worried about his life. Nie Yang smiled lightly, but in his heart he calculated which prince had more advantages.

But—

His calculations were still in vain, when he heard the name of the crown prince.

Nie Qing......

It's actually Nie Qing!

Nie Yang was very surprised, his hands trembled, and the wine went out.

After the Qionglin banquet began, the emperor, the crown prince and the other four princes appeared one after another, and Nie Yang's complexion changed even more.

Without him, the face, figure, and conversation temperament of that crown prince were almost the same as his cousin Nie Qing in his previous life!

The difference is that his cousin Nie Qing is a graceful and elegant Ru, just like the bright moon, with a light smile on the corner of his lips, and his every move is a model for the noble son of the noble family. The crown prince in front of him is certainly similar, but there is a shallow shade of gloom between his eyebrows.

Nie Yang pressed his beating heart to keep his breathing smooth, but he couldn't bear to move away from the crown prince.

Why is it so similar?

Could it be that the crown prince is the reincarnation of his cousin Nie Qing?

It is also possible that Nie Qing was born rich and noble, did not do evil things, and it is natural for him to be reincarnated as a crown prince in the emperor's family.

Nie Yang swallowed nervously, his hands hidden in his sleeves kept sweating, and his fingers were almost tangled.

Cousin –

Nie Yang muttered in his mouth, and his eyes were filled with moisture.

Others only thought that he was young and not strong enough to drink, and after a few jokes, they focused on Bangyan Tanhua.

In the middle of the Qionglin banquet, Nie Yang caught a glimpse of the crown prince getting up and leaving the table, and he also found an excuse to follow, and then was blocked.

"Why did Zhuangyuanlang come here?"

The crown prince showed a suspicious gaze, but the vigilance flowing in his eyes made Nie Yang wake up in an instant—he was not Nie Qing!

No, it should be said that he is not the Nie Qing he knows.

Nie Yang's heart turned around a few times, but there was an embarrassed look on his face, he lowered his head and whispered, "Minister...... I couldn't drink enough, so I drank a little too much, but I couldn't find a place to change clothes, so I couldn't ask, so I ...... cough, please forgive your highness for the minister's rudeness. ”

The crown prince's face softened, which also blamed Nie Yang for being too harmless, which made people unable to raise their vigilance. Maybe it's a bad fate in the dark, Nie Yang's appearance in this life is exactly the same as in the previous life, and he naturally knows how to show his harmless side.

The crown prince softened after hearing this, and summoned Gong E to lead Nie Yang.

Nie Yang watched his back go away, and the tip of his heart flowed with indescribable soreness.

If you owe so much in your past life, can you repay them all in this life?

At the end of the Qionglin banquet, Nie Yang gave the Hanlin Academy to revis, from the six products, he was in charge of repairing the history of the country, repairing the actual record, and recording the words and deeds of the emperor and the king, which was simply a secretary. This position is quite a high starting point for Nie Yang, who is not from a good background. If you don't work hard, you will probably squat in this position for the rest of your life, and if you do well and win the sacred heart, then the role and power of this position are not small.

In fact, it was not without a record of champions when he was a lifelong slave from the six pins.

The imperial examination is just a ticket, and after entering this officialdom, what height you can climb in the end depends on your personal ability.

Nie Yang smiled and narrowed his eyes, not worried about his future at all.

Although Nie Qing said that he had a bad temperament, he had to admit that a person of his character could be thriving in officialdom.

In comparison, it was the crown prince who cared more about him.

"Nie Qing ......"

Nie Yang muttered in his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a hint of determination.

Regardless of whether the crown prince is reincarnated as a cousin or not, he will assist the other party in ascending to the throne, and so on...... Maybe I don't owe each other.

Nie Yang's character was born for officialdom, or rather, he was born to eat this bowl of rice.

It only took half a year to understand the emperor's mind, and he became a close minister trusted by the Son of Heaven, and his future is limitless.

The powerful people of the DPRK and China tried to win over the upstart, and the four adult princes also tried to extend an olive branch to him.

Nie Yang neither refused nor gave a positive reply, and did his job honestly.

Because of being the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Nie Yang has more opportunities to meet the crown prince, because he is close in age, and he has more topics than others, and he can occasionally talk. After some contact, Nie Yang also had a deeper understanding of the status of the crown prince.

In a word, there is no room for optimism.

Empress Yuan was born and died, and the mother family was suppressed one after another, the four older imperial brothers were pressing step by step, and the emperor's attitude towards the crown prince became more and more ambiguous...... In such an embattled situation, don't say that it is this crown prince, and any change of person will be forced to be irritable.

Nie Yang waited for the crown prince to recruit him, but after waiting for more than half a year, he didn't even let out a fart.

He really couldn't wait any longer, so Nie Yang took the initiative to hint at the problem of Nie Qing's camp.

The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and said with a gentle smile, "I heard that Zong Yi rejected four imperial brothers one after another, and I am still curious, guessing that Zong Yi has other plans, such as being loyal to his father and emperor...... Unexpectedly, Zong Yi originally wanted to be lonely, and his current situation was afraid that he would disappoint you. ”

After all, the crown prince is a prince, and he is very good in all aspects, and in Nie Yang's opinion, he is almost no different from his cousin.

If it weren't for the circumstances around him to remind him, he would have thought that the two of them had returned to their previous life.

Nie Yang's heart moved slightly, he didn't expect the crown prince to be so clear about his own situation.

In that case, why didn't he want to save himself?

In Nie Yang's view, the crown prince's recent posture has a bit of a negative response.

"Your Highness's words are wrong. You are the crown prince, the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, the prince of the world, and the rightful successor. Nie Yang said word by word, "As long as His Royal Highness can calm down and devote himself to being the king, the father, the court, and the people, how can the four princes surpass you?"

This is not passive resistance, this is called responding to all changes with the same, and fighting without fighting.

Nie Qing's heart welled up with a warm current, and his eyes were full of rare sincerity.

"Grandpa Taifu and they also said something similar, but at that time...... Lone felt distraught and couldn't listen at all. Zong Yi said this, but he had another experience after listening to it. When the crown prince met his eyes, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity in his trance.

Obviously, he and this Hanlin Academy cultivator didn't have frequent contact, but he subconsciously trusted each other, as if he was an old man in his previous life.

"If Your Highness is concerned about the battle for succession, he will fall behind. Nie Yang said, "You are the prince, this is what you were born with, where do you need to quarrel with a few princes......? Your Majesty may also use this to sharpen you. The relatives are powerful, and now they can help His Highness, but in the future, they will become an obstacle......"

The crown prince frowned, revealing a little anger.

"Nie Yang, do you know what you're talking about?"

Stir up a relationship between him and his mother?

Nie Yang said, "I know it." ”

The crown prince said, "Then you dare to say it?"

Nie Yang said, "There are some things that you know you can't say, but you have to say them." The minister is dedicated to serving the king, you are orthodox, and naturally you have to plan for you. ”

The crown prince choked, but it was undeniable that Nie Yang's words swept away the anxiety of recent years and calmed his heart.

"I don't know why...... crown prince glanced at Nie Qing deeply, "There is a feeling of loneliness, you seem to be looking at someone alone." ”

Nie Yang's smile was a little difficult, and he said embarrassedly, "The minister said something offensive, the minister has a cousin, and his name is 'Qing'." went to the Qionglin banquet in the year, and when the minister heard His Royal Highness's name, he couldn't bear it for a while...... Therefore, the minister felt very close to His Highness, and asked His Highness for forgiveness. ”

The crown prince didn't expect this to be the reason, and raised his hand to help Nie Yang, who was apologizing.

"It's not a big deal. The crown prince said, "Where is your cousin now?"

Nie Yang said, "The minister made a mistake, and my cousin unfortunately died early. Before he died, he said to his minister, 'Grace is broken, and we will never see each other again on Huangquan Road'. ”

The crown prince was not annoyed by the offense, but was curious about what Nie Yang had done wrong to make his cousin say such cruel words.

"No...... It's not my cousin's fault. Although the minister has a clear conscience, it is indeed an unforgivable sin for his cousin......"

"Zong Yi is like a woman, crying like this?"

Probably to say it, the crown prince's attitude towards Nie Yang was much milder.

Nie Yang was shocked to find that he was crying unconsciously, and suddenly felt a little ashamed,

"Actually...... Don't hide from Zong Yi, when Lonely first saw Zong Yi, he also had a faint feeling of familiarity. ”

When Nie Yang heard this, his eyes widened in shock.

Regardless of whether what the crown prince said was true or not, Nie Yang decided to bet all his chips on him.

As the emperor got older, the battle for the succession between the court and the middle became more and more severe, Nie Yang took advantage of this "demon wind" to soar, the official career was smooth, and the promotion speed was so fast that it was like riding a rocket, and he sat in the position of Yuanfu at a young age, the head of civil officials.

Although he has a good relationship with the crown prince, it is limited to personal relations, and politically he should still be scared, and he can see that the civil and military officials are confused.

The crown prince's sense of existence is still very low, his status seems to be crumbling, and the old emperor has never revealed the intention of abolishing it.

He was not in a hurry, but the four older princes were in a hurry.

Nie Yang sneered and watched, secretly planning the layout, so that the eldest prince who controlled the military power frequently made stupid moves and framed ...... Well, it can't be said to be framed, the eldest son of the emperor does have the idea of forcing the palace, Nie Yang is just concretizing his thoughts and putting them into practice.

The second prince supervised the imperial examination, and Nie Yang broke out a very influential case of fraud in the examination room that year, and successfully brought it down.

The third prince is the son of the concubine, and the harem has weight, so Nie Yang started from the concubine's mother's family.

In this world, there are only stains that have not been found, and there are no clean, refreshing and noble nobles.

The Four Princes are even simpler, Nie Yang himself is an Oscar winner, how can you not see that the Four Princes seem to be indisputable, but in fact they are deep in mind and calculating? For the same kind, Nie Yang will also not show mercy. In just a few years, he fought several princes. He eliminated his political enemies in front, and the crown prince Nie Qing gave him a tail in the back, so as not to be discovered by the old emperor.

After two years, the old emperor Zen became the crown prince, the government and the opposition were shaken, and Nie Yang was also stunned.

On the eve of his accession to the throne, the old emperor glanced at him meaningfully, but the crown prince asked Nie Qing what he had in mind for the future.

Nie Yang thought for a long time.

"One, a very good minister. ”

"Second, my cousin was blocked on Huangquan Road. ”

"He said that we would never see each other again on Huangquan Road, but I wanted to see each other. ”

Nie Yang looked at the other party's eyes and said lightly, "Whether he recognizes it or not, I pay it back if I owe him." ”

The crown prince smiled dumbly, "What if he doesn't admit it?"

"Bad debts. Or ......" Nie Yang said gently, "If he doesn't admit it, then he will be entangled in the next life." ”
