When Mrs. Tai woke up, it was already early on, and the room was quiet, and there was a faint figure. Worth collecting

She felt that she was really old, and the shadow was like the pearl in her palm that separated heaven and man forever, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Lin Xi approached the bed with the medicine bowl, just in time to see a tear falling from the corner of Mrs. Tai's eyes, her heart was burned out of a scar in vain, and the hand holding the bowl could barely hold herself.

He opened his mouth before he reluctantly called out, "Grandmother." ”

The figure became clear, and there was a moment of trance in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and she stretched out her hand to grab Lin Xi, "Xi'er, I dreamed of your mother, and she blamed me for not taking good care of you." ”

The scar in his heart was torn apart, and the pain diffused his heart, Lin Xi forcibly pretended to be calm and put the bowl on the small table next to the bed, patted it with his backhand, and comforted: "I also dreamed of my mother, she looked very happy, saying that I was lively and healthy, and finally I don't have to worry." She also said that it was all thanks to my grandmother, and that I must honor you well. ”

Whether these words are true or not, they are happy in Mrs. Tai's ears, but when she thinks of Zhao Jingyi's words during the day, she becomes sad again.

"How could you have thought that such a thing would fall on your head, it was the Hou Mansion that owed you!"

This refers to Xiao Jinxin's spreading rumors, but Zhao Jingyi took it seriously, and as a result, the good marriage was gone, and even his career was shaky.

Zhao Jingyi is in a high position, the emperor is strong, he doesn't want much, but once he wants it, he must get it, think about how the Yongning Marquis Mansion competes with the Prince's Mansion, and the grasshopper shakes the tree.

If this is the case, it is indeed a great debt, but in fact...... It is Lin Xi who should be owed.

"It's out, no matter how much you regret it, it's useless, let's wait for it, the grandson hasn't said it yet, the emperor doesn't look like he's angry, on the contrary, he values me quite much, it can be seen that his old man's heart is like a mirror, and the result will not be too bad." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Tai's eyes lit up, "Xi'er told her grandmother about the palace exam. ”

Lin Xi smiled, swallowed the bitterness in his mouth, and coaxed: "Okay, you obediently drink the medicine first, and then tell your grandson one by one, Zhao Jingyi's words, let him go, if I don't follow him, can I still rob people in public?"

Xiao Jinxin hid behind Liu, trembling all over, she looked at the frosty Yongning Marquis at the door, and the powerful guards behind him, she didn't even dare to cry loudly, she could only sobbed quietly while shouting: "Mother, save your daughter, save your daughter......"

How angry and dissatisfied Liu was in Chongjin Hall before, how disrespectful she was to her mother-in-law, and how panicked and scared she was now, she stretched out her hand to protect the lord Xiao Jinxin, and begged again and again, "Master Hou, the concubine is such a daughter, she still has a body, she made a mistake, it's okay to play, don't, don't ......"

Liu didn't dare to kneel, didn't dare to let go of Xiao Jinxin, and when Yongning Hou walked in step by step, he could only hold his daughter and slowly retreat until the corner of the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

"You just let her go with Ping'er. Yongning Hou's face was like freezing, expressionless, he was not angry or scolding, and there was no trace of undulating voice, which showed that he didn't want to say much, let alone let go of Xiao Jinxin.

"Hou Ye! Hou Ye! Miss is confused for a while!" Lu's mother cried and knelt on the ground, hugging Yongning Hou's feet, but before she could howl twice, two guards walked out from behind Yongning Hou, one left and one right, and dragged them out.

This formation frightened Xiao Jinxin and screamed, "No, Dad! I am the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you can't deal with me!"

Yongning Hou's footsteps paused, and he glanced at Xiao Jinxin incredulously, and then he closed his eyes to hide his sadness, "The daughter-in-law of the Li family? ”

"What!" Liu's eyes widened, and he immediately looked back at his daughter, only to see that Xiao Jinxin was already sluggish, and his face was especially tear-stained, so he hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?"

"After Prince Rui left the Hou Mansion, the holy decree arrived at the Li family, and the door plaque was removed on the spot, and soon this letter of resignation came to me, the wife and the husband are less troubled, and the wife and adulterer are more difficult, the good daughter of the Xiao family!"

Yongning Hou raised the snow-white book of resignation in his hand, sneered sadly, and let the Liu family snatch it away.

"Li Rang, Li Rang! He won't, it must be the old woman who forced him to divorce his wife! Dad, my daughter doesn't believe it, beg her father to ......" Xiao Jinxin was about to plead, but she was slapped in the face, and the sound resounded throughout the room, and she was stunned.

Yongning Hou's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a dumb voice: "Don't call me father, how can I have a daughter like you! When you did these things, did you ever think that I was your father, but did you ever take the reputation of the Hou Mansion to heart? It's late, it's late, no one can save you, tomorrow you will be a monk, the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha will be for a lifetime, father and daughter, I will leave you alive." ”

"Don't!" Xiao Jinxin was stupid, this is not as simple as Mrs. Tai being unhappy to send her to the Pure Buddha Temple to pray, once she is ordained as a monk, there is no possibility of coming back, and she will be a lonely ghost with nowhere to go in the future.

She shook her head desperately, she screamed loudly, "It's not me, it's the county lord of Jing'an, it's the county lord of Jing'an who told me about Lin Xi and the prince, my daughter is just not angry and unwilling! Dad, please, daughter please, I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare, you tell the prince, let him let me live, I will be safe, please let me give birth to the child, let me raise him, father!"

She shouted and knelt on the ground, her bulging belly grinding on the ground was extremely pitiful and pathetic, "I will make amends to my cousin, let him scold, let me do anything, okay, father, mother!"

Liu was crying with tears in her eyes, she slowly lowered her body, but before she knelt on the ground, she heard Yongning Hou's calm voice, "Help Madame out." ”

"Master Hou!" Liu shouted in disbelief, but he had been set up left and right, and he was irresistibly clamped out.

She looked back, and the last thing that caught her eyes was Xiao Jinxin's despair and Yongninghou's indifference and sorrow.

Xiao Jinxin didn't know what happened to Lin Xi in the end, in short, he never saw her again, but later I heard Xiao Yuheng mention that she gave birth to a boy, and the Li family came to take the child away, but never mentioned Xiao Jinxin, and since then, the in-laws of the two families have been completely broken.

And the results of the palace examination came down quickly, and the suona horn rang at the door of the Lin Mansion for a long time before stopping, and Lin Xi was the top student in high school in a congratulatory voice.

Many students endured for a long time, and when they saw such an ending, they couldn't calm down for a long time, and when they shouted, they rushed to the palace gate, such as the fraud case that spread all over the country, and they had to sit quietly in front of the palace gate in the drumstick of Jingzhao Mansion.

"What about Zhao Jingyi? My Prince Rui is bent on Mingyue, for fear that others will not know who his sweetheart is! Why, he doesn't show his determination at this time, and he still shrinks in the palace and waits for me to make the decision for him?" Emperor Xia Jing waved his dragon robe and shouted angrily, "Go, pass on my message, if this matter can't be resolved, I will marry Lin Xi tomorrow!"

During the reign of Emperor Xia Jing, there were two times during the reign of the students who gathered to meditate and ask for the Holy Judgment, which was also the first in the Great Xia Dynasty, which could be recorded in the living notes for future generations to comment, and it could not be erased from generation to generation, and this time it was such a ridiculous reason, which made him even more annoyed.

Emperor Xia Jing gave a holy message, and his father-in-law hurriedly ordered to go down.

However, before the messenger left the palace, there was a reply, followed by Zhao Jingyi's lieutenant.

"Your Majesty, the prince begged for a decree to order the soldiers and horses of the suburbs of Beijing to enter the city. ”

The deputy general knelt on the main hall and held his hands high to present Zhao Jingyi's handwriting, and his father-in-law took it carefully.

"There are only a few hundred powerless candidates, and the patrol camp is not enough, and even the camp on the outskirts of Beijing has to be pulled in to strengthen their courage?" Xia Jingdi sneered and opened it, thought for a moment and said, "That's it, tell him that if it can't be done well and the resentment is aroused, I will exile Lin Xi to calm the anger of the scholars in the world." ”

When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they were a little anxious, and they didn't care about the difference between the monarch and the minister, so they pleaded: "Father, what does this have to do with Uncle Lin? It's obviously Brother Rui ......."

King Liang stepped forward lukewarmly, "Ninth brother, my father has his own deep meaning, so it's better for you not to interfere." ”

The Nine Emperors suddenly clenched their fists, raised their heads and were about to refute, when they saw Emperor Xia Jing wave his hand, "No need to say more." ”

After all, it is not easy for Jinshi High School, and a considerable number of these candidates who have been sit-in at the gate of the palace have also experienced it once, but compared to the fraud case that relied on blood and indignation to persist in the trial of the three halls, this time they stood up and acted as a leader, making the protest more rigorous and sustainable, and more determined.

However, it is a pity that the previous fraud case had little to do with the Rui Wangfu, and the patrol battalion was just a role in supervising and preventing trouble. And this time, as one of the parties to the rumors, he has clearly stated his intentions, how could Zhao Jingyi let these scholars get their way?

He wished for a chance to defend his sweetheart.

Got the will of Emperor Xia Jing, turned into a camp on the outskirts of Beijing The Northwest Army went straight to the city gate, lined up on the palace gate, they were from the battlefield to fight, but also with a full body of evil and blood, eyes are dignified, holding □□, under the sun, it seems to be steaming out of a compelling momentum that makes people daunting.

This is at most to see how the scholars who are fighting have seen such a scene, baptized by the cold gaze of thousands of soldiers in this phalanx, their hearts suddenly frightened, their hearts beat to the sound of drums, how dare they say more and provoke recklessly.

The impassioned silence was closed for a while, and they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Ordinary officers and soldiers may not dare to do anything to them, but the Northwest Army, which came to defend the country and prohibited it, did not have such scruples, the military order was above all else, and they could not see the slightest hesitation in those indifferent eyes, and they waited for the commander to give orders under the strict formation.

At this time, they found out that they were questioning Lin Xi and slandering his reputation, and they were provoking this prince who had traveled on the battlefield.

Prince Rui, the head of the military attaché, is not as good as the "temper" of King Shu of Liang, he will not be afraid of Shilin's evaluation of him, he is not afraid of affecting the officials' good impression of him, and he will not be like Liang Wangming, who was involved in the fraud case, knowing that Scholar Cai is innocent, and he is afraid of losing the emperor's favor and does not dare to say a word in front of Emperor Xia Jing.

The scars on his body show his merits, and the triumphant banner shows his strength, so he is valued by the emperor. He doesn't need to entrap others to go further, with these merits and strengths, some people are attracted to him and attached to him.

It was because before the rumors with Lin Xi spread, even if it was rumored that Prince Rui hated literati, never befriending him would not prevent Shilin from praising and loving him.

is such a fearless and rock-solid man, who has already expressed his heart in public, but there are still people who dare to touch the person in his heart, how can he expect Zhao Jingyi to stand by and watch?

Besides, is Lin Xi really wrong? Does he really need Zhao Jingyi to open the door for him to steal questions?

Among the candidates, there were many who followed the general stream in a daze, and they were impassioned and were treated with a basin of ice water, and they couldn't help but retreat.

Before there was a commotion among the candidates, a crack suddenly opened in the center of the phalanx in front of the palace gate. I saw Zhao Jingyi riding his big black horse and slowly pacing to the front of the phalanx with eighteen personal guards.

Prince Rui sat high on his horse, his fierce face, cold eyes, and the momentum that came to his face seemed to have turned into a real blade, and he couldn't help but make people want to hide, and no one dared to look directly.

The two sides faced each other, and the victory and defeat were already determined in terms of morale alone.

"Today's Spring Festival has ended, the high school students are not waiting for appointments at home, and those who land on the ground do not return to their hometowns quickly, gather in front of this palace gate to make trouble, and despise the imperial power, who gave you such courage!"

Zhao Jingyi's cold words fell, and as his more cold gaze swept over, someone in the crowd immediately shrank their necks and held their breath.

"This king doesn't care about the old rules of human feelings, he is not afraid of people's words, only according to the laws of Great Xia, those who make trouble at the palace gate should be punished for the crime of great disrespect, if you don't want to be imprisoned, don't disperse quickly!"

This doesn't care that Daxia has always treated scholars preferentially, and rarely deals with crimes, according to his military regulations, gathering crowds to make trouble for no reason is light for a hundred military sticks, and there is no need to talk nonsense at all.

Now he can say two sentences at this time, which is already his excellent patience.

Feeling that it was time to play for real, the candidates were a little irritable, a little scared, and the retreat in their hearts was loud, but no one dared to be the first to go.

Then I saw Zhao Jingyi's eyes narrow, and the hand holding the reins suddenly slowly raised, and the soldiers behind him suddenly looked at him, as if they had received a signal, and their bodies tensed, as if as long as the hand leaned forward slightly, they rushed over.

Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse under the momentum of a sharp sword, someone in the crowd finally mustered up the courage to shout, "Lord Wang, I just want justice!"

Hearing that voice, Zhao Jingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked over carefully, but saw that the person had tightened the crowd.

"Justice?" he asked softly, the corners of his mouth cold, but the hand continued to raise without a hint of hesitation.

The man was suddenly anxious, raised his head and immediately shouted again: "Lin Xi is detrimental to his personal morality, he is not worthy of being an official, how can he be an example for the champion in the world, and whether he is worthy of the champion talent, I doubt it......" The man didn't expect that it would be such a scene today, thinking that he had offended Zhao Jingyi, he was no longer afraid, and said bluntly, "Does the prince help him?"

"Yes, yes, that's what we think. The crowd chimed in.

Zhao Jingyi's hand did not wave forward after all, but put it down, he looked at the student who seemed to be broken and broken, and suddenly smiled, but he only bent the corners of his lips, but in a moment, his face turned cold again, and there was irony in his eyes.

"This king doesn't need to explain to you, but for Lin Xi's sake, I'll say a few more words. ”

"First, whether he is worthy of the talent of the champion, the examiner of the Chunyu examination papers, the main exams in the palace examination, and even the saints today can be judged, how do you know? Second, whether he is virtuous or not, do you find out that he has done the act of killing people and defrauding people of money, or is he deceiving his superiors and subordinates to bully others? If so, move to Jingzhao Mansion, where he will not be promoted to the court and will not receive the papers! It is not a place where you and others gather to make trouble! I don't even know this, what kind of scholar is he and how can he be worthy of being an official? Thirdly, this king never knew that this king still had the ability to meddle in the Spring Festival, are you questioning the emperor's ability to make the emperor, or are you provoking contradictions between the monarch and the ministers?"

The voice sank one after another, and the people who listened to it were in a cold sweat, and their hearts were panicked, and they didn't even dare to amplify their breathing, and they were ashamed and wanted to hide their faces and run.

Zhao Jingyi slowly swept over the silent crowd, and the pressure lasted for a long time before he slowed down his voice and continued: "Finally, I really have to thank you for sparing no effort to spread this rumor, this king has found that he has already been happy with him, and it is none other than him!"

As soon as these words turned around, his tone suddenly changed, and even the momentum pressing on his head seemed to be reduced, and everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and couldn't help but make people feel that fortunately, this prince still has some human feelings.

However, when I think about this human touch in depth, I can't help but feel complicated again.

At this time, a little father-in-law came from the palace with a few forbidden army guards, stood beside Zhao Jingyi, and shouted loudly in front of the candidates: "According to the emperor's command, all the examination papers of the top ten in this subject are displayed in the Gongyuan, and the students of the world will read and appreciate them. ”

After the little father-in-law finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao Jingyi and retreated to the palace.

The big black horse had already stepped on his hooves impatiently and snorted, as if to say what nonsense was there.

So Zhao Jingyi raised his hand and waved it lightly, "The time given by this king to a stick of incense is still in front of this palace, and he will be taken down for questioning." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers behind him strode forward and surrounded them in a fan shape.

The emperor's dictation, coupled with Zhao Jingyi's step-by-step pressing, has not yet begun to meditate, and the hearts of the people have already been dispersed, and birds and beasts have scattered in an instant.

This is not in accordance with the rules, but it is also because of the tolerance of today's saints to scholars, how dare to behave like this, if Emperor Wu is in power. Besides, the fraud case is really a great grievance, and the injustice in the world is the next step, this time...... And why, and what is the basis for being justified?

"Give this king an eye at the scholar just now. ”

Zhao Jingyi finally looked at the figure who was leaving in the crowd, gave an order to his side, and then clamped his legs and rode away. 166 Reading Network
