Chapter 90: The Champion

Thanks for tipping!

The palace examination time is very fast, one day is enough, and when Gu Weijun returns, what he sees is the scene in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was not much joy on his father's face, and there was even a very obvious sadness.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

Gu Zhi raised his head and said to Gu Weijun, "Weijun, your second uncle has passed away." ”

Gu Weijun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "How come, so?"

"My father decided to connect your second uncle's family to Jingshi, what does Gu Weijun think?"

"Naturally, it should be, I just do it, and my father doesn't have to worry so much. ”

Gu Zhi sighed, patted Gu Weijun's shoulder, and said softly: "Your second uncle's life is too bitter, it is all my fault, it is my fault." ”

Gu Zhi walked into the inner room a little dejectedly, and only Gu Juan and Gu Weijun were left here and now.

"Brother, how did you do in the exam?"

"It's ok. ”

At this time, Gu Juan's face was sad, Gu Weijun was puzzled, so he asked, "Ah Juan, what's wrong with you?"

"Did Your Majesty praise Wang Kai's article?"

Gu Weijun was shocked.

"Yes, how do you know?"

Gu Juan smiled bitterly and said, "I know, I know how they could let him go so easily, if I hadn't put forward any bad ideas, Wang Kai wouldn't be in the current situation." ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Gu Juan looked at the bright sky outside with some despair.

"Wang Kai's uncle is in prison at this time, Wang Kai is in the limelight at this time, maybe he will be a champion, I guess Yan Song will definitely find a way to execute Wang Zhi at this point in time. Once this situation is formed, Wang Kai is in a dilemma, if he does not save his reputation for loyalty and filial piety, if he pleads for fear that his career will be hopeless, if he is lucky, he will be sent to a remote place as an official. If he is unfortunate, he may have to be with his uncle. ”

After Gu Juan finished speaking, he covered his head, almost daring to think about it.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't played those little clevers, I would have taken the exam again next year at most, but I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation. Brother, what do you think I should do?"

Gu Weijun saw Gu Juan crying for the first time, and he was almost a little overwhelmed.

He took Gu Juan's hand and said, "Ah Juan, don't blame yourself, you have done well enough, and no one has any reason to blame you." ”

"But what if he's dead?"

"No, Ah Juan, don't think about it, no, if there is me, it won't. ”

Gu Weijun comforted Gu Juan, in fact, he also knew in his heart that this was an unsolvable situation.

This is a conspiracy, an upright conspiracy, Wang Kai has no way to crack it, he can only passively bear this ending.

Sure enough, as Gu Juan expected, Wang Kai won the champion, and at this time she had to admire the Yan father and son, in order to completely block the political enemy, she gave up a champion, but she was really willing.

Tang Dynasty Mengjiao poems: "In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery." The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

Back then, Lin Daqin, who was only 21 years old, was the top student in high school, and Jiajing gave him a tour of the streets. Now, Wang Kai is nineteen years old, and he is even more beautiful, only to see him wearing a golden black gauze hat, wearing a big red robe, holding a hand-picked holy edict, and straddle a golden saddle and red-maned horse.

At this time, such a scene can also be called a time to see all the Chang'an flowers, and the spring breeze is proud.

Gu Juan stood on the second floor along the street, looking at Wang Kai, but he couldn't be happy.

The people standing along the street all admired this champion Lang for being handsome and extraordinary, and at this time Hanyu said to Gu Juan: "Miss, you don't know, our son has a nickname that looks like a Ming person, and people say that Da Ming Erlang should grow into a son like this." ”

Wang Kai sat on a tall horse, his face under the golden black gauze hat was extremely clear, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and any woman couldn't help but be immersed in it when she saw it.

"Let's go back first. Gu Juan said.

"What's wrong with Miss, aren't you looking at it?"

"Go back, I'm a little tired. ”

When Gu Juan was about to go back, he met an acquaintance, who was Lin Xiaocong.

"Miss Gu, what a coincidence. ”

"General Lin, this is?"

"I heard that the new champion is good-looking, and he looks like a Ming person, so I can't help but come to join in the excitement, but I can't stay long in Jingshi. ”

"General, do you want to?"

Lin Xiaocong smiled and said, "Thanks to the promotion of Lord Shang Shu Zhai of the Ministry of War, he returned to the northwest as a general. ”

"Lord Zhai?"

"At the beginning of March, Lord Zhai Peng was re-promoted by the imperial court to be the secretary of the military department, and the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace. The northwest is promising, and my generation should go there. ”

"Congratulations to the general, I wish the general success, and one day I can see you on this street in command. ”

"Thank you Lady Jiyan, I see that Miss still has something, so I won't bother Miss in the future. ”

After Lin Xiaocong left, Gu Juan let out a long sigh, and Han Yu hurriedly asked, "Why is the lady sighing?"

"The old man I met in the teahouse before was that Zhai Peng, Lord Zhai, who had just returned to Beijing to report on his work. ”

The military department has said so, I'm afraid that Lin Xiaocong will be disappointed again this time, the border trouble of the Ming Dynasty is a problem of the Ming military system, the border soldiers have been short of food and salary all year round, and most of the food and salary are greedy by the generals. Since the change of Tumubao, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has declined, and the imperial court intends to use civilian officials to lead the army, so there is not much room for promotion among the officers at the bottom, which has led to the particularly serious situation of border generals being greedy for ink, and has become a force that cannot be ignored over the years. Zhai Peng, who had been asking the imperial court to pay the border soldiers, was dismissed after only 100 days as an official, and it was not until August last year that I agreed to disturb the border here, and the helpless Emperor Jiajing remembered that there was still this talent.

But Gu Juan estimated that the boss would not be able to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department for long.

"Miss, let's go back. ”

"Hmm. ”

When Gu Juan returned to Gu's mansion, she happened to meet Ren Xuan'er who came to visit, and Ren Xuan'er said with a happy face: "Ah Xuan, congratulations, you will be the champion lady in the future." ”

Gu Juan smiled and said, "My brother is also a second-class jinshi, and Xuan'er also has a chance to become Mrs. Jinshi?"

Ren Xuan'er blushed for a while, and she hurriedly said: "Xiaosi followed the cargo ship to the capital, and he said that he missed your aunt very much, so I brought him over." ”

Gu Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This little guy really knows how to hug his thighs, and as soon as he comes back, he will say that he misses me." ”

Xiao Si got out of the carriage, still with that round little face, like a snow doll.

"I really miss my aunt, that's why I came. ”

Gu Juan smiled and touched Xiao Si's head and said, "You can speak." ”

"By the way, Ah Juan, the boat of gifts for Your Majesty has arrived, and it will be delivered to the palace now, or right?"

"Don't worry, wait and talk, things have changed, let's think about it in the long run. ”
