Chapter 58: Lin Gongzi is willing to confess
When Zhao Jingyi saw Lin Xi, he was teaching Zhao Yuanrong to paint red, his expression was stable, with a soft smile on his face, and he pointed to the post from time to time to say something, while Zhao Yuanrong nodded and worked hard to describe it, this scene made Zhao Jingyi's heart warm.
He didn't walk in immediately, but watched quietly at the door, and then gradually discovered that Pei Xuan's arrival was not without impact on Lin Xi.
When Zhao Yuanrong was quietly painting red, Lin Xi would be distracted, and nostalgia and sadness would appear on his calm face, as well as laughter that wanted to cry without tears. It wasn't until Zhao Yuanrong finished writing a word and turned around and pulled his clothes that he came back to his senses in a trance, and commented softly on the words.
That laugh is worse than crying.
The colder Zhao Jingyi's expression became, the more resentful his heart became, he had never seen Lin Xi before, and those nostalgia had no way to know, he didn't know how to do it even if he wanted to comfort him.
Why do you like to hide in your heart silently and say nothing?
He looked at it for a long time, then turned away silently.
In the evening, Lin Xi finished finishing a chapter, and then saw that Zhao Yuanrong had closed his eyes and fell asleep, so he gently put the little hand that was pulling his sleeve into the quilt.
After doing this, he left as usual, but saw Zhao Jingyi at the door.
"Let's go. "Lord Rui said such a sentence.
"Can you recover?"
The two walked in the path, but it was Zhao Jingyi who broke the silence first.
"It was good to have a good nap in the afternoon. β
"Nothing you want to ask me?"
"Lord Wang, national affairs, not grass people like us can put their beaks in the beak, if it is a private matter, Xi is just a ...... in the Hakka Mansion"
Listening to Lin Xi's smooth politeness, somehow, this time Zhao Jingyi was very impatient, "Keep these words for outsiders." β
Lin Xi immediately shut up.
Is this really like a river mussel, holding it in your heart without asking?
Facing Lin Xi, Zhao Jingyi's brows never relaxed, and in the end, he thought about it, who let himself like him, and when the other party opened his mouth, he didn't know the year of the monkey.
"What did Pei Xuan say here, but what happened to Chunqiu?"
This is really direct, Lin Xi scolded in his heart, but he still nodded honestly.
"High school, the third in the first class, a good ranking, if you don't buy articles like the third child of the Wei family, what do you have to worry about relying on your own talents? Or is it related to King Liang?"
This is really clear, Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth visibly in a few steps, and still nodded silently.
"Lord Lin's proud protΓ©gΓ© will never be reduced to a high school that relies on leaking questions, but how can he follow ......?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Jingyi paused, what can be related to King Liang is nothing more than the corruption case that shocked the government and the opposition last year, and in the end, King Liang and his faction were fine, and the King of Shu and his family fell one after another, among which Lin Qinglin's prefect's handwriting is the key, since Pei Xuan can be related to King Liang, then his role in it ......
He saw Lin Xi turn his face away with a wry smile, and his face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying.
Such a person who sells his teacher for glory still has the face of the palace to come to Lin Xi?
And Lin Xi ......
"Are you sad for such a person?" Zhao Jingyi felt incredible.
The secret in his heart was discovered, and Lin Xi, who should have been annoyed and angry, suddenly felt a sense of relief, and the words blocked in his mouth seemed to have found a place to vent.
So he said: "How can I not be sad, we have been together for five years, when I was a child, I was in very poor health, I couldn't go out, my brother would bring some gadgets back to me every time I went out, and often talked with me and talked about some things outside." If I am sick, he is more anxious than anyone else, and he loves me no less than my father. It was only after the incident that I felt even more sad and sad. I thought I would hate him even more, and I would be happy to see him unlucky, but today I realized that I am not happy even if he doesn't go my way. β
A hand touched his face, rough fingertips rubbed the corners of his eyes, Zhao Jingyi lowered his head and approached him, "You cried." β
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Lin Xi didn't turn his head away this time, but nodded, "Being betrayed by my relatives is the most profound, I don't even know how I survived it at the beginning, but now that I think about it, in fact, some things were foreshadowed a long time ago." The senior brother has a good name and profits, and his father doesn't like to socialize, so the senior brother often asks Ying to replace him. β
Zhao Jingyi disagreed, "Scholars should focus on their studies and practice virtue." β
Lin Xi smiled, "You're right, Dad says it so often." Having said that, I'm not worried about Pei Xuan, no matter if it's not a decision now, it's just a guess, it's just a guess, it's really something, and it's also the fruit of his own suffering, I have nothing to say. It's just that today he came to remind me of my nostalgia for my days in Huaizhou, and I just want to think about it. β
Zhao Jingyi didn't know how to comfort him, suddenly a gust of wind blew, Lin Xi couldn't help but shrink a little, and then he heard a rustling sound, and then he was covered with a coat.
He raised his head and saw Zhao Jingyi standing in front of him with a cold face and only a single dress.
This man is really ......
"Thank you. β
Zhao Jingyi snorted coldly, "Excuse me, don't take anything to heart, I hope you can be honest with me." β
It's going to be difficult, after all, it's okay for the two of us.
Just thinking like this, Lin Xi suddenly fell into a warm embrace, Zhao Jingyi's arms hugged him tightly, and the warm breath was immediately sprayed on the top of his head, and the surroundings were full of the smell of fortitude, Lin Xi stared at him and suddenly was at a loss.
I heard Zhao Jingyi's voice ringing in my ears, "I don't know your past, but I hope to miss it with you, Xi'er, are you willing?"
The low voice was very gentle, Lin Xi's mind was blank, the ghost made the gods, he didn't think of refusing, and even a little greedy for this temperature.
It's such a foul, he's lacking love today.
Not saying yes was to be expected, but not saying no to his hug was unexpected. Zhao Jingyi's heart suddenly became hot, and the road ahead seemed to have hope, and he suddenly felt that Pei Xuan was not so annoying.
"The matter of Chunfu will not be calmed down lightly this time, and the confrontation between the two kings depends on how the emperor decides. It is a fact that some people leak questions and sell questions, and the secret operation of the candidates' rankings is also stored over the years, so it's okay not to check, once one is checked, the officials who participated in the examination are estimated to have to fold it in. β
After going around Qiyunxuan, Zhao Jingyi sent Lin Xi back to the east wing.
The request for a night talk was naturally rejected, but Zhao Jingyi's mood was still happy, and it seemed that thinking of his two non-stop cousins felt less bad.
Every Spring Festival, there will always be one or two such things, and Emperor Xia Jing is not surprised, he has also heard of the uproar outside, and scolded King Liang on the spot and asked him to calm down.
Only two days later, the candidates who protested in front of the Gongyuan still did not receive any message, and the court and the central government seemed to ignore them silently, and finally they left the Gongyuan.
However, before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the big drum in front of Jingzhao Mansion was beaten heavily, and Yin, who was still asleep, suddenly jumped up from the concubine's bed.
Under the leadership of several scholars, a long sheet of impassioned and angry paper was pasted in front of the government office, and the scholars took turns to read it aloud.
The thousand-character article sued all the officials involved in the examination headed by Scholar Cai, scolded the moths of their country, wantonly amassed wealth by taking advantage of the country's talent selection, engaged in favoritism, and were consumed by interests, and were unworthy of being teachers, and their crimes should be punished. He also shot the king of Liang to fight for power and profit, installed cronies, grace and relatives, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and should cultivate Derong.
Scholars don't know how to scold the street, but between the lines, the words are like knives, to the point, full of scolding, and the face of Jingzhao Mansion Yin is green and white, and white and black.
Someone has already greeted him, and if he gathers a crowd to make trouble, he will immediately punish and deal with it severely.
The leading scholars were imprisoned as an example.
The loveliness of a scholar lies in the fact that he knows what he cannot do, and severe intimidation does not intimidate them.
If you have faith and ambition, you will be invincible.
Jingzhao Mansion's move was suddenly like a hornet's nest, and it was out of control.
In the Yuefeng Inn, Pei Xuan looked at the fellow villagers, his face was solemn, and he said astringently: "Brother Zhan, do you really want to go?"
Zhan Shusheng was the first person to make friends with Pei Xuan, because Pei Xuan was famous on the list and rumored to worship under King Liang, he gradually became estranged, and now seeing his face full of anxiety, his heart softened, and he sighed and said: "Brother Pei, although you are in high school, I believe that you are not as attached to glory as rumored." We just want fairness and justice, but you have also seen that the Jingzhao Mansion has indiscriminately sent Brother Xia and others to prison without making any defenses, so can we ignore them? Since our classmates can put their own life and death out of the way, we can naturally do it! If you go with us, it will be better to add help and increase our prestige, and we will work together to ask the emperor to order a thorough investigation to restore justice. β
Zhan Shusheng's eyes were sincere, Pei Xuan was hesitating in his heart, and he heard the person next to him sneer, "Brother Xia, people are Jinshi masters, with King Liang as a backer, and the future will be just around the corner, why bother to mix with us and others, not people inside and outside?"
When the man finished speaking, he rose up in harmony.
"At the beginning, Lord Lin died generously, I don't know how much style Pei Gongzi learned from Lingshi?"
"Who knows that his results are as good as they can be, the way is different, let's go quickly, the worst outcome is just a trip to the vegetable market, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, the scholars left together.
Zhan Shusheng took one last look at Pei Xuan, sighed and followed the others.
Pei Xuan was annoyed and anxious, he didn't think it was a good idea to meditate at the gate of the palace at all, since ancient times, the consequences of forcing the Son of Heaven to act were always extremely painful, but now he was slight, and he was really helpless.
When Emperor Xia Jing learned that all the scholars had gathered to sit at the gate of the palace, he was immediately furious, and his sharp eyes pierced the King of Liang and the King of Shu led by him, and then swept the silent courtiers one by one.
He had heard of the meditation of 10,000 people in the previous dynasty, but he did not want to be treated in this way after he ascended the throne.
"It's so hard to hide!"
Scholar Cai silently walked to the middle, took off the black gauze hat on his head, and knelt on the ground.
King Liang also knelt on his knees with a pop, and Wulala immediately knelt behind him.
King Shu glanced at King Liang beside him, and lowered his face with a sarcastic smile.
"Investigate it thoroughly! No one is allowed to let go!"
