Chapter 40 Participation in countermeasures
Shi Ruoyan lowered her eyebrows with a smile and looked at him with half anger.
Liu Qu's lips hooked, and suddenly he hurried towards her, picked her up by the waist, and smiled, "Go, go back with me." ”
Shi Ruoyan was surprised, she didn't expect him to be like this, her face was hot, and her crimson color jumped to the end of her ears, "But Yan'er heard that tonight, the master promised Concubine Rong's sister to go to her." ”
Xiahou Rong, Concubine Liu - the daughter of Princess Pingyang and Marquis Ruyin.
"No problem. I'm not going anywhere tonight, you stay with me. Liu went to look at her, his eyes deep.
Shi Ruoyan smelled the faint aroma of grass and trees on his body, his face was like jade, and the blue night above his head was like a bright star, and the sky was quiet and beautiful. She smiled, finally closed her eyes, and leaned her head over to him peacefully, nestled into his arms.
"Bo Luhou has seen Taishi Liu."
A low male voice, with a bit of difficulty. Suddenly, the silence was shattered.
Shi Ruoyan was shocked and opened her eyes.
Liu Qu still held her still, and only asked with a smile, "It's so late, why is Bo Luhou still in the palace?" ”
"Oh, that's the case, Your Majesty has been restless lately, and before going to bed, I only take a sip of the osmanthus wine brewed by the Meng family. Yes, my aunt ordered her son Meng to send it. It's just that the Taishi was already inside when I came, so Zimeng walked around and waited for the Taishi and his aunt to finish talking before going in. ”
In front of Shi Ruoyan, Huo Guang slowly saluted, and gradually raised his eyes, his eyes swept to her face, his eyes were slightly dark, and he was bottomless. Immediately, he immediately turned his face away, as if to avoid suspicion.
The "aunt" in his mouth is Empress Wei Zifu. He was originally Huo Quzhi's half-brother, but Wei Zifu rewarded him for his talent, so he asked him and Huo Quzhi to call her aunt together. Huo Qu is sick all year round, but he is more intimate with Wei Zifu.
Shi Ruoyan's eyes burned, and suddenly he saw that under the moonlight, what he was wearing in his hand was a ...... Emerald rings.
She bit her lip.
At that time, Liu Qu had already walked away with her in his arms, and a faint voice came from above her head, "What, do you still miss him?" ”
She didn't answer, and after a long while, she suddenly said softly, "Master, what if Yan'er said that Yan'er was thinking of you?" ”
This night, I don't know what's wrong, Zhao Xing lies on the bed and tosses and turns, she can't sleep well all night, and her eyelids are still jumping.
Her eyes widened, and she saw the snow-white moonlight that suddenly appeared outside, and comforted herself, is this pre-exam syndrome?
It's not that she really doesn't understand the meaning of Xiahou Twelve's words, but she never has an epiphany, what does this name Ah Shun, Hua and Shui have to do with tomorrow's countermeasures? …… He finally drew an outline for her, but unfortunately she couldn't find the point.
Early the next morning, a very luxurious and high-end sedan chair suddenly stopped outside. Zhao Xing didn't remember that she had spent money to hire a sedan chair, and when she was looking at the clear wind, the person reported to her home, saying that she was an official in the palace, and specially came to pick her up to participate in the last hurdle of this imperial appointment - countermeasures.
Oh...... Zhao Xing smiled and scratched her head, it seemed that it was Huo Guang. He not only told Xiahou 12 of his address, but also told the government.
Mmmm, Huo Guang is still a good person! Zhao Xing walked around the sedan chair with a smile, and kept nodding and praising him, tyrant, domineering, enough brothers!
Qingfeng glanced at her with great disdain, and followed behind the palanquin with the rest of the people, intending to wait for her outside the palace later.
A good sedan chair is different, stable and fragrant, and it is very comfortable. Zhao Xing closed his eyes in the sedan chair for a while, and when the sedan chair reached Zhengyang Street, he suddenly heard the rush of cars and horses outside, and people kept rushing past on the street, shouting hurriedly, "It's terrible, it's terrible, you go and see, there is a death in the Xifeng Building." ”
"It's amazing, it's amazing, someone in front of me stopped Lord Jingzhao Yin Yang's sedan chair to complain, it seems that there was a big bloody case."
Loud voices.
Zhao Xing was startled, opened her eyes, and quickly lifted the curtain.
Unexpectedly, a cold face outside the curtain suddenly stretched out, and with a pull of his hand, the curtain was pulled down again.
Zhao Xing scratched her head, her eyes staring at the curtain in front of her that was pulled down by the frightened clouds, as if it was still gently shaking. Shake, shake, shake, shake......
In an instant, it seemed to have become the black official uniform that was high above her face in the execution ground.
Liu, are we finally going to meet?
Heaven and earth seemed to be quiet at this moment.
Through the long palace wall, the blue smoke is blue, and the red gold tiles are Luo.
She finally walked to the temple of the Han Dynasty.
The front hall of Weiyang Palace.
Bow your head, bow down, and salute.
After the ceremony, Zhao Xing and the other nine people slowly stood together.
They were all the best players in the last shot.
In front of him is a grand hall that many people have never seen in their lives, and the important ministers who are above 10,000 people.
It's a pity that all this romance and beauty doesn't seem to have anything to do with her at the moment.
She stared at the man in the most prominent position in the hall, her bald nails already pinched into her palms.
The man was too far away from her, and the beaded curtain hung lightly, half-covering his face, and he couldn't see clearly.
The princes and emperors of the Western Han Dynasty wore crowns with beads made of jade. The difference is that the emperor is 12 strings, and the princes and kings are 10 strings.
At this time, as the last examiner hired by the emperor today, he was still wearing the official robe of the Han Dynasty, with dark wide sleeves, and the golden unicorn on the robe was majestic and cold, and his body sat on the jade sleeper chair in the main hall, the corners of the robe were like ink, and the chair gradually swayed.
Who will sue her, why is it just an ink color, but it is also so pressing, squeezing her heart both panicked and painful? That kind of stuffiness is like being pressed by a thick mattress, and no matter how hard you struggle, you can't catch your breath, almost like dying.
It's as if he was actually looking at her through the beaded curtain.
She was shocked. Although the two phases can't be seen too clearly, if anyone finds something unusual, it will be troublesome, gritting her teeth and gritting her teeth, she turned to observe the hundred officials on the left and right.
On the right is a military general, solemn and strong, sassy and proud; On the left is Wenchen, whose robes are like ink, and he is elegant and elegant.
Today's main hall, as usual, is still "in power" by Taishi Liu because of Emperor Wu's dragon body violation. Zhao Xing's eyes were secretly shuttling among the hundred officials, and his heart was like a minister, but he was close to the emperor, and he carried out the emperor's order, how could he not make others hate?
I'm afraid, his "high" is not so enjoyable, right? If you are not careful, there are many people waiting for him to fall down and trample him to death.
At that time, the man who lived alone in a high place smiled slightly and said slowly, "All colleagues, please sit down, today's countermeasures do not have to be limited to the old rites." ”
Subsequently, the Manchu officials shouted "Chitose" and sat down one by one. The ink-colored official robe was like an ink-colored tide in an instant, rippling open and slowly spreading, and a high-spirited exuberance was all written at this moment.
In the middle of the hall, a few cases have been prepared. Ten tables and ten seats, and four treasures of the study room are placed on the case, just waiting for the pen to fly.
Zhao Xing took a deep breath, she had to use all her strength to go to this appointment today, even if at this moment she thought that she had guessed who the silent big brother was in the past.
Silent, he is Ji Di.
Otherwise, in the middle of the court, who can stand beside Zuo Feng Linggong Sun Hong and Prime Minister Shi Qing?
In addition to him, in addition to him, who is the right to support the wind, whose son spends money like dirt without losing the slightest elegance? He has no intention of becoming famous, just because he, the first-character Tianguan in his early years, has become a very popular minister, and the scenery on the way to the emperor's appointment can no longer shock the waves in his heart.
When I got together last night, I saw that he and Zhang Manqian were friends yesterday, and I forgot who Zhang Manqian was invited to come by.
In the Guozi Prison, he called "Wei Qing stop". I heard that Wei Qing and he had lived and died together many years ago, and Wei Qing followed Ji Huang into the court, served the country, took Ji Huang as his brother, and fought only for Ji Di all his life.
All these things, she should have realized it a long time ago.
At this time, Wei Qing and Huo Guang were among the right generals of the palace. The old man who followed Xiahou XII at the inn that night was also there, who was he?
In the left corner of the hall, the two sons seen on the court that day were also there, and there were five or six other men, Xiahou 11 and Xiahou 13 were also among them.
Although not everyone has real power, these should be a group of imperial relatives.
However, what about Xiahou Twelve? Why isn't he here?
This person has to be valued by Liu, how can he not be at such an important moment?
She was suspicious, and when she saw that among the civil officials, Jia Zhengjing, the lieutenant of the court who had been admitted to the examination number, and Shi Bu Shiren, the Dali supervisor who had slapped her ass, looked at her and couldn't tell her mind. She quickly retracted her sideways gaze, but unexpectedly met Ji Di's gaze.
He smiled softly at her.
She smiled back at him as if he was still the friend who fell in love at first sight that day, and deliberately concealed his identity and never happened.
Ji Di twisted his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips were shallowly raised, and slowly, his eyes were charming, and he looked at her Nunu mouth again, signaling her to look in the direction of Gongsun Hong.
Gongsun Hong, an old minister of several dynasties, was at this time under the signal of the Taishi's gaze, and preached: "I am grateful for the kindness of the emperor, and I will give the Taishi Liu and the ministers to jointly supervise and review, and I intend to make my Han choose the pillars of the future and the blessings of the people during this period of countermeasures." I hope that all the students will enjoy their talents, show their style and coquettishness, and wait for you to join the court!"
In a word, Zhao Xing could feel the excitement of the candidates around her and the slightly nervous watching.
She licked her dry lips, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves. The children who were shot by Liu Le, the rice grain and silk at the exhibition, the old beggars and children who picked up silver...... Scenes flashed through my mind. In addition to the great enemy, there seems to be something in my heart that wants to break through at this moment.
She swallowed her saliva again and listened carefully to Gongsun Hong's lecture.
