Chapter 34: Her Origins
In Yangzhou, at the same time, the Li family and the Yang family received a holy decree at the same time, requiring Li Dingqing and Yang Haolong to participate in this year's imperial examination.
After Li Qingren sent off his father-in-law, he couldn't help but hold on to the holy decree.
It's just a imperial examination, but the emperor himself has to make a holy decree and force his son to take the exam. Moreover, Yang Li's third son, Yang Haolong, also went to the exam at the same time.
"Dad, does the emperor appreciate my talent?" Li Dingqing couldn't help but be proud, or could he still make a holy decree in person?
"If yes." After Li Qingren dropped this sentence, he went back to the room.
He thought that it would not be long before the Li family and the Yang family would move their families back to the capital. Yangzhou, can no longer live.
It's been 8 years! Unexpectedly, the emperor still came to this point, this time, whether he can still get out of the way, and whether the Li family can still be as prosperous as before, depends on what the emperor does next.
A courtier is just a courtier after all, and no matter how favored he is, he is just a pawn for the emperor to maintain imperial power. He had seen this for a long time......
On the other hand, the Yang family also had a solemn atmosphere after receiving the holy decree.
Once Yang Haolong stepped into the court, there was really no chance to recover his daughter's body, and he had to be careful at all times so as not to be found out of his true identity.
"Xianggong, let Long'er leave! Now that the imperial examination has not yet begun, we can send Long Er away. The eldest lady was in turmoil.
"Nonsense! If this decree has been given, how can it be escaped? Yang Li was also upset, only he knew the emperor's true purpose.
"But how is this good?" The eldest lady was in a hurry.
Yang Haolong didn't care about it, "Just go, it's not a big deal." The emperor just asked me to take the exam, but he didn't ask me to take the top prize, I answered the questions randomly, don't you take the exam, won't there be nothing? ”
Joke! Even if it wasn't to hide her identity, she didn't want to enter the court as an official, so she really didn't have any freedom at all.
"No, Dragon! Not only do you have to take the test, but you have to win the top prize! Yang Li said.
"Are you crazy?" The eldest lady shouted.
"Now it's just the three of us here, and you've grown up, it's time for you to know your background."
"Don't! Princess, please......" The eldest lady begged bitterly.
Yang Haolong was stunned, there was really something wrong with her life experience.
"It's been 8 years, the six princes have become adults, and the emperor can't wait." Yang Li said to Yang Haolong with some sadness: "So, you have to know something today......
In the 17th year of Xuanwu, the general Pan Shenghua mastered the evidence of the prince's private army, but the prince destroyed the evidence and cut the Pan family to the roots. At that time, the prince didn't know that Pan Li, the 6-year-old youngest daughter of the Pan family, escaped and was rescued by Yang Li, who rushed at that time.
At the same time, the Xu family, who has always been good friends with the Pan family, is regarded as a thorn in the side of the prince. In order to ensure safety, the prince did not hesitate to frame the Xu family for treason, and the emperor was furious and sentenced the Xu family to be beheaded.
The eldest daughter Ou Yi was rescued by Yang Li, and in order to hide people's eyes, Ou Yi did sell herself to the Yang family and became a slave of the Yang family. And the second daughter Xu Wu does not know her whereabouts.
Yang Li is in a high position and is not moving, and the evidence has indeed been destroyed by the prince, so he has not made a move against the Yang family.
In the same year, Yang Haolong, the third daughter of the Yang family, had a serious illness and unfortunately passed away. Yang Li stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, allowing Pan Li to replace Yang Haolong's identity.
Coincidentally, after Pan Li came to his senses, he also forgot the past, so he has been living as Yang Haolong.
After this incident, the strength of the Second Prince's Party dropped greatly, and the prince took advantage of the victory to pursue and almost control the entire government.
In the 18th year of Xuanwu, the emperor did the opposite, fostered his favorite prince in the Yang family, and did everything he could to pull the two princes back to their original positions, so that the government and government could be rebalanced.
Now, the emperor issued an order to require the sons of the Yang family and the Li family to participate in the imperial examination, ostensibly to value the two families, but the truth is only known to the parties concerned - the emperor is going to make a move!
Listening to Yang Li tell these things, Yang Haolong suddenly realized, it turned out that Yang Li didn't love his daughter, but really didn't know about Pan Li, so he didn't know whether Pan Li could play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
After learning of his life experience, Yang Haolong did not feel any discomfort. After all, she is just a wisp of ghost in the 21st century, and it is the same for everyone. It's just that......
She looked up at the eldest lady, her nominal mother, she really loved herself! Maybe it's because her daughter is dead, so she transfers all her emotions to her.
The eldest lady's expression is complicated, but her eyes full of love can't deceive people.
"Long'er, I said, no matter what, you are my child!" The Grand Lady reassured.
"Mother!" Yang Haolong finally couldn't help but throw himself into the arms of the eldest lady, "The child has grown up, and he will protect you!" "Yang Haolong is extremely determined.
Yang Li sighed when he saw this scene, but who can predict what will happen in the future?
"I believe that it won't be long before the emperor will ask the Yang family and the Li family to move back to the capital to live." Yang Li said worriedly: "At that time, I am afraid that this official will not be able to protect himself, only Long'er, you will be admitted to the top of the competition this time, occupy a place in the imperial court, and maybe be able to save your life." ”
In order to balance the government, the emperor will never let one side become bigger, and certainly will not let one side be annihilated. But now, the core figures of the two major parties in the DPRK and China, the sons of Yang Li and Li Qingren, have been ordered by the emperor to participate in the imperial examination. The Emperor is going to take their son as a hostage!
But if Yang Haolong can take advantage of this imperial examination to win the high school championship and have his own power, the emperor will have to weigh it more or less.
"Why did the Emperor do this? Is he going to start dealing with the Yang family and the Li family? "Otherwise, why would the emperor break this balance with his own hands? Yang Haolong asked.
"I guess he wants the Sixth Princes to succeed him......," Yang Li mused.
Let his other two sons fight each other, just so that the other son can inherit the throne? Yang Haolong would never believe it! "Dad, this is just your guess."
"Maybe. But the emperor obviously favors the six princes the most, but the crown prince is not the sixth prince, how can it not make people suspicious? Yang Li sighed and said, "Anyway, let's get ready first." ”
Yang Haolong lowered his head and pondered, in this life, she wanted to be a low-key person, and she would have finished this life in an ordinary way. But in the current situation, if she can't win the top spot in one fell swoop, I am afraid that she will not be able to protect the Yang family and protect the people she cares about in the future.
She has lived a happy and free life for 8 years, and it is time to be content! Next, she will do her best to protect her loved ones!
Isn't it just a champion? It may be difficult in the eyes of others, but for her, it's just a gesture -
