38. Tearing War

The imperial examination system is, of course, a great system that benefits the country and the people.

However, throughout history, all reforms were extremely difficult in the early stage of implementation, such as the Shang Dynasty reform, Wang Anshi's reform, and so on.

While the imperial examination system has brought good news to students all over the world, it is undeniable that its emergence has also completely broken the monopoly of the family on the officials in the court, and it has also weakened the power of the family family.

Gathering all the candidates in the world together just to compete for the only few official positions in the court, it is natural to divide the ugly ones.

The champion, the top three, and the first three were all selected by the emperor in an article that had been selected by the officials, and they were absolutely capable people with real materials.

The emperor is not stupid, although the family wants to give the green light to their children, but at most they can give a chance, and the real decision-making power is in the hands of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

Whatever he says is what he is.

Whose clan doesn't have a few children who need to be blessed by the family?

A imperial examination blocked this way.

All of a sudden, the Wang family became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the family.

It's not that the Wang family didn't think of the consequences of this excerpt.

Emperor Ming Jing will definitely adopt this advice, and he will also hand over this matter to the Wang family to be responsible.

After adoption, it will be up to the Wang family to clean up the mess.

The Wang family had expected to become a thorn in the side of the family, but in these years, as long as the emperor insisted on going his own way, even the family could not stop it.

Just like Shang Ying's change of law, Qin Xiaogong insisted on changing the law despite the difficulties and dangers during his reign, although those clans were eager to cut Shang Ying with a thousand knives and divide the corpses of five horses, but that was also done after Qin Xiaogong's death and when the new monarch succeeded to the throne.

Emperor Ming Jing looked only thirty or forty years old, so he naturally had this time to wait for the dust to settle on the reform of the imperial examination system, and as the leader of the reform, the Wang family would naturally be safe.

Again, as a clear stream, what they value is fame.

Once the news that the imperial examination system was proposed by the Wang family spreads, the scholars all over the world will thank the Wang family for giving them this way out.

This has come and gone, as long as the Wang family survives this time, it will be time to soar.

Don't talk about the Su family at that time, it will be recorded in history as a matter of course.

Who doesn't want to go down in history if he is an official now?

The Wang family is interested in this intangible benefit.

At the beginning, when Li Chengze asked the Su family to reveal the imperial examination system to the Wang family and asked the Wang family to come forward to listen to the heavens, the Su family was 100% unwilling.

Even Old Man Su patted his chest directly, saying that before the imperial examination system was ineffective, he could hold on to the Su family if he attacked him.

This shows how attractive the imperial examination system is to the Qingliu literati.

However, Li Chengze persuaded Old Man Su with only one sentence, so that the old man successfully changed his words.

That day, when Li Chengze and Old Man Su came out of the study one after another, it was already dusk, the palace gate was about to fall, and the glimmer of the sun was sprinkled on them, like two scheming foxes.

Since ancient times, the former dynasty and the harem have been connected together, and with the changes in the court, the harem is naturally impossible to be calm.

Since Ning Wanyi gave birth to a stillborn baby, Emperor Ming Jing had an intuition that the harem was private, and immediately smashed the teacup angrily, saying that he wanted to track it down.

However, Emperor Ming Jing's strict attitude towards tracking down this time was useless.

For the first time, he felt the influence of the family together.

It made him shudder.

For the first time, I felt that the dragon chair that I thought I was sitting on was not so stable.

If you have the heart, you can push him into the cliff in one fell swoop, and there will be no return.

Most of Emperor Mingjing's harem are drafted into the palace by women from various families, and they are selected every three years, just to fill the harem and extend the heirs.

And most of the harem women also know that the man who sleeps next to the pillow is unreliable, and the only one who can be used as a backing is their own mother's family.

Only when their mother's family is good, they have room to speak in the harem.

The fighting method between the queen and Ning Wanyi is actually a disguised fighting method with the queen mother, these methods, in fact, some harem concubines can see it clearly.

The women who can mix in the harem are naturally not really stupid, so these previous calculations did not burn them to them, so they just didn't see it.

However, this is no longer the case.

When all the families invariably instructed the daughters/sisters/sisters/nieces/cousins/cousins in the palace to fire β€– cannons at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother knew how much power her mother's family had offended during this time.

Emperor Ming Jing ordered the investigation of the "stillbirth", no matter what, it can only be found out that Ning Wanyi's own stomach is not angry, the fetal position is not correct, and the fetus has been holding in the stomach for too long, and there is no gas, and I can't complain about others!

Hehe, I can't complain about others!

Emperor Ming Jing looked at the things found out in his hand, and couldn't help but sneer, he couldn't swallow it in one breath, and coughed his lungs into the air.

A handful of pen, ink and paper inkstones on the imperial case were swept to the ground, making a ping-pong sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet study.

"Ahem, ahem, is the emperor dead?"

Huang Shun stood aside with his waist bowed, cold sweat couldn't stop breaking out, for fear that the wrath of the Son of Heaven would burn him.

At this time, I only heard Emperor Mingjing say, "Someone! Spread my oracle - Ning Wanyi is obedient and virtuous, Pi Zhao Shuhui, respectful and prudent, respectful and persistent, admires the Empress Dowager's mercy, and is specially named Ning Jieyu! ”

Pei Yunruo is now the most legendary figure in the harem.

As the daughter of a small family, it took only about a year to enter the palace from the seventh grade Changzai to the third grade Jieyu.

From the beginning of holding the thighs of Duanrou Guifei, to suddenly catching up with Concubine Xian, and then at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, with a song of Buddha's music, she boarded the boat of the Queen Mother who lived in Cining Palace to worship the Buddha, and before the palace concubines could do anything to her, they heard the news that Pei Yunruo was pregnant.

And the Queen Mother officially demarcated the boundary with the Queen because of the child in Pei Yunruo's belly!

won the emperor's favor with his own strength, divided the alliance between the once unbreakable queen and the queen mother, and played with the high-ranking concubines of the entire harem.

What's even more terrifying is that for some reason, just a woman who looks like Empress Ming Xiaoyuan is even more favored than Empress Ming Xiaoyuan's sister-in-law.

I have to admire the skills of this newly baked Ning Jieyu!

Ning Jieyu, who is envied by the palace concubines, is not feeling good now, although she has compensation for her position, she is also resentful.

She knew that the emperor couldn't ask her for an explanation.

The emperor compromised.

Actually, Emperor Ming Jing and Pei Yunruo, everyone knows who is responsible for this!

It's nothing more than the queen mother who regards her as a mortal enemy!

Maybe there will be a palace concubine in the middle to push, but the culprit is definitely the queen of Chengqian Palace!

However, the timing of the queen's choice was too coincidental, or rather, the queen's luck was too good.

It happened that the Wang family provoked public anger, and the concubines of the harem obeyed the orders of the family to weaken the power of the queen mother.

Once you go against the women of the harem, how can this culprit be found?

Without evidence, even the emperor could not blatantly accuse the empress of murdering the emperor's heir.

Although, all of them knew that it was the queen's hand. However, looking at the harem, only the queen can temporarily suppress the queen mother, so they have to help the queen.

Besides, the palace concubine is not stupid.

Under the pressure of all the palace concubines, Emperor Ming Jing had to give up holding the queen responsible, however, he was definitely holding his breath in his heart.

As an emperor, he is the only one who gives others anger, and there is absolutely nothing that others give him anger.

Although, today's situation is caused by the harem family girls joining forces. However, there is a good saying, "the law does not blame the public", and it is impossible for Emperor Ming Jing to sprinkle his anger on everyone.

The culprit of this matter, in the final analysis, was made by the queen.

It is impossible for the family of the previous dynasty to always work against Emperor Ming Jing, at most, it is to gain some benefits and seek some benefits for the family. After Emperor Mingjing appeased the family of the previous dynasty, it was time to clean up the queen.

At that time, it will not only be a matter of giving Pei Yunruo an explanation, but a matter of Emperor Ming Jing's belief that his dignity has been trampled on the ground.

No matter how favored the queen is, Emperor Ming Jing can kill her alone!

Chengqian Palace.

"The queen is really a phoenix, and even the heavens are on your side." RosΓ© smiled and served hot tea to the queen.

The queen hooked her lips, stroked the bright red Kodan on her jade fingers, and said with a smile, "This palace is naturally blessed by the heavens, but you have to remember this matter, say, what reward do you want?" ”

When the queen was asked to do it on Emperor Mingjing's birthday, it was Taohongjin's words.

Taohong hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The slave maid just talked about the mother's plan, where is the mother's reward?" Besides, if it weren't for the promotion of the mother, how could there be a slave today? As he spoke, he kowtowed again and said, "Niangniang's great kindness to the slave and maid, the slave and maid are unforgettable!" ”

The voice was firm and powerful, as if it was to be imprinted in the heart.

The queen chuckled lightly and helped her up herself, "I know that yours is a loyal one, but this palace just said that." ”

Peach stood up, flattered and overwhelmed, and said, "Niangniang has tormented the slave maid......"

"Mama, bring the pearl on the dresser of the main palace." The queen smiled, "This is the reward of this palace." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Pink knelt down again to thank her.

Xianfu Palace.

Su Zhiwan was holding a thousand-day red that was just blooming, and said with a smile, "The queen really doesn't have a sense of crisis at all?" ”

The waiter stood aside and said, "No, Taohong has sent news that the queen has also rewarded her with a pearl to encourage her." ”

Tearing off the petals and crushing them slightly, the scarlet juice stained the white fingers red, Su Zhiwan said, "This palace doesn't believe that our queen is not a little guarded." ”

As a queen who has been in the harem for many years, she naturally knows a little bit of Emperor Mingjing's temperament, and she also knows it.

The emperor is just barely enduring it now, waiting for this period of time to pass......

The longer it is suppressed, the more terrible it will become......
