When I got up in the morning, I walked out of the house and saw a white yard. Yuxi shook his head and said, "With such a big frost, it's no wonder it's colder than yesterday." "I exhaled in one breath, and it was all white.

Meilan said on the side: "Yes, today is much colder than yesterday. "She added a special piece of clothing.

After a set of punches, Yuxi looked up at the gray sky and said, "Look at the sun again today." "Although the sun is not very warm in winter, it is still very comfortable to bask in the sun.

Mama Quan happened to walk out of the house, rubbed it and said, "How can you boxing in the yard? You are not well, what if the wind blows?"

Yuxi smiled: "There's no wind!"

After breakfast, Yuxi went to the front yard with Yunqing. It didn't take long for Tan Tuo to submit the results of the test, although he didn't need to read the article now, but Yunqing was not interested in this matter, so this matter fell on Yuxi's head.

Yuxi looked at the list and his place of origin, and said: "Nearly three-quarters of the scholars are from Jiangnan, Tan Tuo, this ratio is a bit unbalanced. "The Jiangnan literary style is prevalent, and it is also a place for talented people, so the number of Jiangnan scholars admitted this time will account for the majority, which Yuxi has long expected. That's nearly three-quarters of the total, which isn't quite right.

Tan Tuo smiled bitterly: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate, but the articles made by those people in Jiangnan are much better than those in other places." "Scientific research is originally an article to read.

Yunqing said, "Is there any problem?"

Yuxi said: "Only this time there is naturally no problem, but in the long run, it will be a big problem." After a pause, Yuxi explained: "Twenty years later, all the officials in the court are from Jiangnan, can you imagine that scene?"

Tan Tuo lowered his head. The princess thinks long-term, so she doesn't need him to remind her.

Yun Qing understood what Yuxi meant, these officials came from one place and it was easy to form a group, and they would be hollowed out when the time came. Yunqing said: "That's a problem. ”

Yuxi rubbed his forehead and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I can't think of a good solution." ”

Yun Qing said without thinking about it: "The people over there in Jiangnan are indeed very good at reading, and they have natural advantages, and people from other places will definitely not be able to pass theirs." If you don't want Jiangnan Juzi to be the dominant family, you can separate them. ”

"Separate?" Yuxi muttered to herself, and then her eyes lit up: "Yes, you can separate." ”

Tan Tuo shook his head and said, "Princess, how can this be separated?"

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "I will try to get a total of three hundred people, one hundred and five in the south and one hundred and five in the north." In this way, I am not afraid that the southern scholar family will dominate in the future. "The north-south division also gives students in the north a chance.

Tan Tuo felt that this idea was not good, and it was not easy for him to say anything against Yuxi's appearance: "Princess, then this time you will also divide the north and the south?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Forget it this time, I will do it next time." "This time the exam has been completed, the list of the top 300 has come out, and if the list is divided again, this scientific examination will have to be invalidated. Not to mention manpower and material resources, there are many things to delay.

Tan Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this time there was no division, otherwise not only would they be affected, but those moves would not be much better: "Lord, princess, where do you see the palace test being held?"

Yuxi said: "It's still in the Tribute Courtyard!" The Tribute Courtyard was built last year and can accommodate thousands of people. The palace does not have such a large courtyard, which can accommodate 300 people at a time, so it is most suitable to choose the tribute courtyard.

Tan Tuo asked, "When is that fixed?"

Yuxi said: "Three days later, the prince will go in person at that time." "She won't go, anyway, the article will come to her after the exam, and she has to agree to who is the champion.

Although Yunqing is not interested in this, this is his responsibility and cannot be shirked.

Tan Tuo hesitated, but still asked, "What about the questions of this palace exam?" The questions of the hall exam and the palace exam are normally from the emperor. Northwest Yunqing is the largest, and the topic should be up to him. However, as far as Yunqing's literary level is concerned, Tan Tuozhen is a little worried.

Yuxi chuckled: "In three days, the topic will be handed over to you." "This topic, naturally, she came out.

After Yunqing waited for Tan Tuo to go out, he said to Yuxi: "Add this Enke, there are so many troubles." ”

Yuxi smiled and said: "We are now in short supply of talents, so we can only hold scientific examinations to select talents." "In the past, it was all through referrals, and there were great drawbacks to referrals. Many people will be recommended by cronyism, and they are not safe to pass the scientific examination.

Yunqing was also afraid that Yuxi would be tired before he said this: "The article of the palace test, let Tan Tuo read it first, you just need to take care of it." "It's not that Yunqing shirks this time, but that he is not good at it, and it is easy to make mistakes when dealing with things that he is not good at.

Yuxi hugged his arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured, I won't be tired." ”

Three days later, the temple examination was held in the hall of the Tribute Temple. Considering that it was cold, there was a lot of charcoal burning in the hall, which made the scholars who had been worried before breathe a sigh of relief.

It was also on this day that Yuxi received a secret letter from Falcon. After reading the letter, Yuxi's expression was very ugly.

Mama Quan saw that something was wrong, and asked Yuxi: "What's wrong?

After half a ring, Yuxi said: "Ah Hao has smallpox, and it is Yuchen's hand." Han Yuchen avoided Yan Wushuang to do this, and naturally used her people. The falcon got Yuxi's letter and suspected her, and the time passed shortly, so he naturally found the clues quickly.

Quan Mama said: "Why did the Dong family help her do things, and what weakness did she catch the Dong family?"

Yuxi said: "When the Dong family fled, they were not alone, but they fled with their son. "Dong's son Falcon was not found, but as long as he knew that Dong's son was alive and had spent some time in Han Yuchen's dowry Zhuangzi, it would be enough.

Mama Quan immediately understood: "In other words, the son of the Dong family did not die, but was saved by Han Yuchen's people?" Seeing Yuxi nodding, Mama Quan said, "Why did she install someone in the palace?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "This, only she knows." ”

Quan Mama thought for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Impossible." After a pause, Yuxi said: "Wait until I tell the prince about this matter, and then decide how to deal with it." "Before, because she was just suspicious, she didn't want to tell Yunqing. Now that it has been confirmed, it can no longer be hidden from Yunqing.

At dinner, Yuxi behaved as usual, without any abnormalities. Not to mention Yunqing, even Brother Hao didn't notice that Yuxi was in a bad mood.

After dinner, Yuxi said to Zao Zao and a few others: "You go back first, my mother has something to tell your father." "On weekdays, after dinner, the family will talk and talk, and then go back to their own courtyard.

A few children looked at Yuxi's calm expression and knew that it was business. As long as Yunqing didn't make Yuxi angry, a few children wouldn't ask more.

Yun Qing stayed in the Gongyuan for most of the day today, and he was so agitated that if he hadn't remembered his identity, he would have left long ago.

After a few children left, Yunqing asked, "What can't you say in front of the children?"

Yuxi opened his mouth, and finally said, "Go back to the house and talk!"

Yun Qing followed Yuxi into the house with a suspicious look on his face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuxi said with a bitter face: "It's not that I'm embarrassed, I don't know how to speak?" After a pause, Yuxi said: "The real culprit of smallpox that caused Brother Hao'er has been found." ”

Hearing this, Yun Qing lowered his face and asked, "Who is it?" Listening to Yuxi's tone, he knew that it was not Yan Wushuang.

Yuxi sighed and said, "It's my third sister Yuchen." She thinks that Zhou Yan was killed by me, and she wants to kill Brother Hao to avenge Zhou Yan, so that I can also taste the pain of losing my son......"

Hearing Yuxi's words, Yun Qing was furious: "It was Yan Wushuang who really killed Zhou Yan, she wanted to avenge Zhou Yan, why didn't she kill Yan Wushuang?"

Yuxi looked up at Yunqing and said, "Yan Wushuang is not only her husband, but also the father of her children, and they rely on them. If Yan Wushuang died, the three of them, mother and son, would become fish and meat to be slaughtered. ”

Yun Qing slapped it on the table, fortunately, the hundred-year-old rosewood was very hard, otherwise it would really be broken: "I don't dare to do anything to Yan Wushuang, but I use my Ah Hao to vent my anger." Is she a dead man?"

Yuxi didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yunqing asked Yuxi in a cold voice: "Yuxi, what are you going to do about this?"

Yuxi said: "You are in charge of this matter!" If Han Yuchen poisoned her, even if Han Yuchen succeeded, she would not be resentful. Zhou Yan's death, although it was not ordered by her, was at the hands of her people after all. But she shouldn't have done anything to Ah Hao.

Yunqing has always acted above board, and he hates assassination and poisoning the most, but this time Han Yuchen touched his scales. Yunqing said: "I want Yan Hengli and Yan Hengyu's life." ”

Yuxi didn't refute, but said: "If you want to start, it will take a while." There have been too many actions recently, if I attack Yan Hengli and Yan Hengyu again, I am worried that the Cao Gong Guild will be exposed. "Father-in-law Cao hides it very deeply, and he knows his true details as a cheetah alone. But no matter how deep you hide, if you do too much, you will inevitably show your feet.

Although Yun Qing was angry, he also knew the severity: "Then let's talk about it later." However, it can't make her live so comfortably. "For the matter of ordering the elimination of Yan Wushuang's two sons before, Yun Qing has no guilt at all. You must know that Yuxi and Liu Er almost died in the hands of Yan Wushuang back then, he was just a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Yuxi heard that Yunqing was about to get rid of Yuchen's henchmen, and said, "Are you fragrant and want to scare the snake?"

Yun Qing snorted and said, "Doesn't she want you to taste the pain of losing a child? ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Looking at Yuxi's gloomy expression, Yun Qing knew that she felt uncomfortable: "It's just that you are soft-hearted, such a selfish person who only has himself in his heart is not worth being sad at all." ”

Speaking of this, Yun Qing said disdainfully: "Even if she still has the face to say that she wants to avenge Zhou Yan? He trapped Zhou Yan in an unbearable place, why didn't he commit suicide to atone for his sins?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Don't talk about it." "The past is a thing of the past.

It's not easy to kill the prince, but it's not difficult to kill Han Yuchen's minions. The day after receiving Yun Qingxin, Jiang Yong, the head of the village where Dong's son originally lived, died. After his throat was cut, he hung naked on the highest tree in the Zhuangzi. When found, the body was frozen.

And that was just the beginning, and over the next two days, three more people died. These people are either Han Yuchen's head of the village who married Zhuangzi or the shopkeeper of the shop.

Although the falcon was on orders, he did not kill innocents indiscriminately. The four men who died either did evil deeds or took human lives, and if they were in the northwest, they would have committed enough to be sentenced to death.

Mama Gui was a little uneasy when she got the news, if only one died, it could be said that it was a coincidence, but it would not be right to die four in a row.

Yuchen didn't associate this matter with Yuxi and Yunqing, so she was very angry when she knew about it, and she pressured the capital mansion Yin to solve the case as soon as possible.

In this way, Yan Wushuang was naturally alarmed. Yan Wushuang, who had always been suspicious, also felt that something was wrong when he heard this, so he asked Meng Nian to send someone to investigate. As a result, the murderer turned out to be a falcon.

Meng Nian finished reporting the matter and said, "The falcon deliberately left clues to let us know that he did it, and I don't know what he wants to do?"

Yan Wushuang thought for a moment, his face was a little ugly: "Yun Qing and Han Yuxi already know that the murderer who killed Yun Qihao is the concubine. "I didn't expect the two of them to know the truth so quickly.

Meng Nian felt that this speculation was unreasonable: "If they know that the murderer who killed Yun Qihao is the concubine, they should be looking for the concubine to take revenge, why do they want to attack a few inconsequential people?"

Yan Wushuang looked at Meng Nian and said, "What do you think is the best way to take revenge on someone?" Without waiting for Meng Nian to say, Yan Wushuang said to himself: "That is to make her life worse than death." Those shopkeepers are just appetizers, and their ultimate targets are Ah Bao and Ah Chi. ”

Meng Nian's face changed and said, "Aren't the three princes and the eldest princess very dangerous?" Being blacklisted by the falcon is a very dangerous thing.

Yan Wushuang said: "It's very dangerous. However, with the previous fall from the horse, I believe that Ah Chi will be careful in the future. He survived in such a difficult environment back then, and now Ah Chi's situation is better than him, I don't know how many times, he believes that as long as Ah Chi has a sense of prevention, Han Yuxi can't harm him if he wants to.

Meng Nian is not sure, Ah Chi is also his optimistic heir, but he can't go on a business trip: "Your Majesty, you still have to send some more people to the third prince's side." ”

Yan Wushuang didn't object, and said, "You can arrange this matter." "Among the many children, his favorite ones are Ah Bao and Ah Chi.

After a pause, Yan Wushuang said: "Suppress the news, and I will tell the concubine about it after the New Year." "If Han Yuchen knows the truth, I'm afraid it won't be a good year. He didn't care about Han Yuchen, but he cared about Ah Chi and Ah Bao's feelings.
