Chapter Forty-Eight: The Years Are Quiet

Liu Sui sighed lightly and said, "Lord Yu, you and I are both women, and when we see you as an official in the court, I can't help but be a little worried." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

"...... are you referring to?" asked Yu Ruyan.

Liu Sui said: "Although I am also grateful to the emperor for his kindness, but these days, I have been watching coldly, and our emperor is not easy to serve." I have taken pity on you by saying these words at the risk of being killed. Lord Yu, the court is not a place for you to live for a long time, and the emperor is not a person you serve for a long time. ”

Liu Sui's words are in the heart of Yu Ruyan's thoughts. Zhao Wenzheng's governance became more and more tyrannical, and the imperial court was indeed not a place to stay for a long time. It's just that Emperor Wen knows the grace of the encounter, and the Chu State has not yet been caught, so Yu Ruyan still decided to stay for the time being.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for the reminder." Yu Ruyan said.

Liu Sui sighed: "The emperor is strict in governance, although he has his benefits, but there will be riots under the strict government of the past dynasties." Jade-sama, take care. ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "Okay, I must." Sister-in-law also take care. ”

Looking at Liu Sui's distant figure, Yu Ruyan stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave.

The wicker is broken and the flowers are flying, and the pedestrians are asked if they will return. Yunluo, when will you be back? Yu Ruyan looked at the green willow outside the city and thought.

Two days after Liu Sui left, it was a good day for Chen Guoshi's sons - the day of the list.

After Zhao Wenzheng determined the top three candidates, the Ministry of Rites called the top three candidates to the main hall for the final round of palace examinations. Zhao Wenzheng deliberately took the recent handling of corruption cases in the imperial court as the theme of the palace examination.

After most of the day's examination, the candidates handed in the papers of the questions. After Zhao Wenzheng discussed with Yu Ruyan and Xiao Feiqing that night, he felt that the three of them were more satisfied with their answers.

The ranking of the top three candidates has been determined, and the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites have also reviewed the ranking of the Jinshi on the list this time, just waiting for the emperor to stamp the jade seal and issue the list.

On the day of the release of the list, the sky was clear, and many candidates who took the exam had been waiting for a long time under the imperial list outside the imperial city.

The inner eunuchs and guards in the palace came out with the imperial list, and the crowd gradually boiled. After the emperor list was posted, many people couldn't wait to squeeze forward, wanting to see the list.

The good news officials of the top three have gone to the guest house of the top three to report the good news.

The Jinshi who are on the list should also ascend the throne on the spot with their names and addresses, check them the next day and receive their clothes at their residences, gather in front of the list the day after tomorrow, and enter the palace together to face the saints.

As the candidates of this scientific examination, after entering the palace, the emperor will also set up a "Qionglin Banquet" in the palace to entertain the Jinshi on the list. All the candidates are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are strictly close to each other, which is also a way to prevent party strife.

This time, the 188 candidates in the imperial examination center, led by officials of the Ministry of Rites, lined up at the gate of the palace. After the officials of the Ministry of Rites checked them one by one, they were brought into the palace by the Ministry of Rites and Xiao Muzi.

Before seeing Zhao Wenzheng, the palace guards had to check again.

At about the end of the year, Zhao Wenzheng personally met with the Jinshi who won the list this time. The top three walked at the front of the line, and the Jinshi behind them were all lined up according to the ranking and entered the Qianyuan Palace.

At the Qianyuan Palace, Zhao Wenzheng met with the Jinshi of Jinke, and ordered the Ministry of Officials to arrange the whereabouts of the Jinshi as officials as soon as possible.

Due to the corruption cases before the Spring Festival, there were many officials who were dealt with, and many official positions were in urgent need of personnel replenishment. The jinshi in this imperial examination did not wait for the backfill, and basically they were all on the list to arrange positions.

The officials will report that they will arrange positions according to their respective strengths and intentions, and report to Zhao Wenzheng within three days.

"This time the department was held well, not only to select good talents for the country, but also to settle an unjust case." Zhao Wenzheng said, "I have clear rewards and punishments, and meritorious service must be rewarded." Little Muzi. ”

Xiao Muzi took out the holy decree and read it out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, I am very relieved that this imperial examination has been completed. The rewards and punishments are clear, and the merits and demerits are clear. Yu Ruyan, the head of the Hanlin Academy, worked diligently, redressed grievances decisively, restored the title, and resumed the position of a scholar in the cabinet. Xiao Feiqing, the right prime minister, was conscientious and conscientious for the government, and the abbot was not in danger of chaos, and was crowned with the title of honest duke. Yang Chuting, the general of Dingyuan, is responsible for the safety of the examination room and is hereby promoted to the general of the auxiliary country. Chin this. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After the Qionglin banquet at noon, Yu Ruyan dragged her tired body home. In the sedan chair, Yu Ruyan was already drowsy.

This period of time was very hard, and the review and approval work lasted for more than a month, interspersed with the Liu Sui unjust case, and Yu Ruyan's energy was exhausted.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the day of Mu Xiu, and Yu Ruyan can cultivate for a day.

"My lord, I'm here." The little guy who carried the sedan chair reported it.

Yu Ruyan was just about to fall asleep when she was woken up by this voice, "Got it." Yu Ruyan said tiredly.

Back at the university scholar's mansion, Yu Ruyan went straight into the bedroom, and was suddenly hugged by a person from behind.

"Ahh Yu Ruyan exclaimed, subconsciously about to break free.

"Stupid woman, it's me!"

A familiar voice came, and Yu Ruyan was shocked, the sleepiness just now had been "scared" away, followed by a wave of surprise.

"The clouds fall." Yu Ruyan smiled and turned her head to Tang Yunluo's clear eyes.

Tang Yunluo smiled and said: "Stupid woman, I originally wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect that there was no joy, so I was left with surprise." Yu Ruyan continued.

Tang Yunluo couldn't help but laugh and sighed: "Alas, I rushed back from Jincheng so far away just to see you earlier, but you still thought I was a flower thief." ”

Yu Ruyan said angrily: "Hmph, you still have the face to say." Entering my house is like entering my own house, without saying hello, or jumping out from behind the bedroom all of a sudden, and who will not be startled! ”

Tang Yunluo stuck his waist and smiled helplessly: "Alas, you still don't believe it when you say that you are a stupid woman, who is so confused when you return to your own home?" I also set it up in the yard, didn't you even see it? ”

"Huh?" Yu Ruyan stared at Tang Yunluo in astonishment. I just went into the yard in a daze, and I didn't notice what was laid out somewhere.

Tang Yunluo smacked his lips and took Yu Ruyan's arm to the courtyard, and Yu Ruyan found that there were many more flower pots in the courtyard, some of which had already bloomed, and a few of which were just branches and leaves.

Seeing Yu Ruyan's relieved smile, Tang Yunluo smiled and said, "I went out to buy these to decorate the atmosphere here." A few pots of flowers on the other side of the pavilion are our hibiscus flowers in Jincheng. The flowering period is after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but unfortunately I can't see it now. ”

"It's beautiful. It's a pity I didn't see it when I came in. Yu Ruyan was a little sorry, but more moved, the man next to her took care of herself bit by bit and loved herself.

Tang Yunluo was a little distressed and curled the scattered green silk of Wanyu Ruyan, and said: "Actually, I also heard that this imperial examination has exhausted you by reviewing the examination papers, and another case has been inserted in the middle. You've really worked hard. ”

After speaking, Tang Yunluo gently grabbed Yu Ruyan's shoulder. Yu Ruyan gently leaned against Tang Yunluo, her heart was calm and calm.

As the sun sets, a little golden light leaks from the leaves and is reflected on Yu Ruyan's face. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Yu Ruyan gently held Tang Yunluo's hand.

Yu Ruyan sniffed, pulled Tang Yunluo and walked into the pavilion, although the hibiscus flowers around her had not yet bloomed. But Yu Ruyan still sat in the pavilion, put her hand lightly on the guqin, and said with a smile: "Although the flowers have not bloomed yet, they have already bloomed in my heart." So, when you come back today, I'll play you a song? ”

"Okay." Tang Yunluo smiled, "What do you want to play?" ”

Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "Let's play the song "Pheasant Flying". ”

Tang Yunluo shook his head and said: "It's not good, "Pheasant Chaofei" is too sad, it is the old man of the herd calf who has no wife, seeing the pheasant flying double, touching the scene and feeling love, he sighed that his fate was ill-fated, let's change it." Why don't you play a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and I'll sing it, how about it? ”

Yu Ruyan's pretty face couldn't help but blush, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" is based on the story of Sima Xiangru's pursuit of Zhuo Wenjun in the Han Dynasty, although there was some reluctance on her face, Yu Ruyan's fingers still involuntarily played the tune of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

Tang Yun fell aside and sang softly: "There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget it." I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall. The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt. When I see Xu Xi one day, I am hesitant. I am willing to match virtue and join hands. I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed. ”

There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.

Yu Ruyan stroked the qin, Tang Yunluo sang softly, and the picture was so beautiful that it was suffocating.

"When the hibiscus blooms, we will still be like this, how about you play and sing with me?" Tang Yunluo asked.

Yu Ruyan smiled lightly and said, "Okay." ”

In the depths of time, the years are quiet. The sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom, and the smile is safe.

Tang Yunluo stared at Yu Ruyan affectionately, Yu Ruyan raised her head and smiled lightly at herself, as bright as a spring flower. Tang Yunluo's eyes and heart can no longer tolerate anything, only the beautiful woman in front of him.

The official positions of the Jinshi have been assigned, and they have gone to various places to take up their posts, and there is a new atmosphere inside and outside the court of Chen State. After the busy spring, the Hanlin Academy also sent a group of people to review the situation of the free school set up by the imperial court last year. Knowing that the school had a very good effect, Zhao Wenzheng was happy when he knew it, and praised the Hanlin Academy.

Time flickered, and it was already the Dragon Boat Festival.
