On the eighth day of August in the twenty-first year of Kangshun, the southwest gate of the Hanlin Academy was opened, welcoming the civil and military scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam.
Before dawn, Xie Hengxu rode his horse to the Hanlin Academy, and saw from a distance that there was already a long queue outside the southwest gate, with scholars and scholars on the left and martial scholars on the right.
As one of the examiners of the invigilated martial arts test, as soon as Xie Hengxu appeared on Xuanguang, he caused many martial artists to exclaim and discuss.
He rode his horse and slowly stopped in front of the door, and the soldiers guarding the door bowed their heads and called out loudly, "General Xie." ”
Xie Hengxu dismounted, nodded lightly, stepped into the door amid the crowd of discussions, turned around the corridor on the right, and walked towards the examination room that was built in the martial arts arena of the Hanlin Academy.
The literary examination requires the scholars to stay in a separate compartment in the examination room for three days and three nights, while the martial arts examination is much simpler.
As a result, among the thousands of candidates, Xie Hengxu had to invigilate the exam for at least ten days, and he couldn't help but feel irritated when he thought that he wouldn't be able to see Tillian for ten days.
Stepping into the martial arts arena, Xie Hengxu lowered his eyes and pondered, but when he stepped onto the viewing platform, he was interrupted by a familiar clear voice.
"General Xie came early."
The phoenix's eyes moved slightly, Xie Hengxu raised his eyes, and there was a canvas on the viewing platform, perhaps to shield himself from the sun during the day, there were five seats arranged under the canvas, and the one sitting in the second place on the right was not Feng Xie.
There are three military generals in the capital of the Xia Lan Dynasty, the hundred-year-old Xie family, the Feng family, and the Feng family, which has led the Imperial Forest Army for generations and is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the chief examiner this time is Feng Yan, the first-class imperial commander with a knife in charge of the 150,000 Royal Forest Army; In addition, the general Xie Hengxu, who represented the soldiers, Xie Hengyuan, the son of the Xie family, Feng Xie, the soldier who represented the military department, and Zhao Changfeng, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was responsible for recording the achievements of the samurai sons.
A discerning person can see at a glance that in addition to the chief examiner Feng Yan, the four deputy examiners are the princeling party and the three princes' party.
Xie Hengxu smiled faintly, did not say much to Feng Xie, just lifted his robe and sat first on the left, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the start of the martial arts expedition.
Seeing this, Feng Xie also lightly hooked his lips, and did not speak again, lowering his eyelids and not knowing what he was thinking.
After the sky dawned, the civil and military examiners had already entered, the southwest gate of the Hanlin Academy was opened, and the scholars entered one after another with the check-in records at the entrance of the document representing their origins.
With her hands retracted, Di Lian turned her head to look at Jiang Li, who was sitting opposite, "I heard that there are three princes in this invigilation exam, you should be more careful when you compete, there are also their people among the scholars." ”
Yinglang's eyebrows were raised slightly, and Jiang Li smiled with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, there are also Xie Shizi and General Xie, I entered the exam based on my strength, and others can't find anything wrong if they want to." ”
This silly and stupid Jiang Li, Tilian couldn't wait to roll her eyes, and waved her hand like a fly, "Don't delay, go quickly." ”
Jiang Li smiled, bent out of the carriage and jumped down, trotting to the back of the queue of martial artists.
Lifting the curtain and glancing at him, Tillian shook her head and told the coachman to hurry home.
Liu Junchen sat on the wheel and said with a smile, "Although the eldest son and the second son are siblings, their temperaments are diametrically opposed. ”
Di Lian smiled and thought so, since she was five years old Aunt Chen died of illness, Jiang Yi, who was already introverted, began to stay at home, holding books to read every day, and became a nerd, fortunately, his books were not read in vain, and he got good results in the imperial examination, and his father arranged a position for him in the Hanlin Academy for a seven-grade lecture, and married three years ago, although his life is dull, he has also settled down.
As for Jiang Li, he didn't like to learn to write when he was young, and he was more keen on dancing with knives and guns, so his father sent him to his second uncle, and followed his second uncle to practice in the Xie family army every day.
Jiang Li's martial arts examination, even if she cares, she can't use her strength, Di Lian simply doesn't think about it, she still has to meet Yun Shili today.
On the fourth day of the imperial examination, all the scholars were invited out of the Hanlin Academy, and there were some in high spirits on the street, some were depressed, some were crying, and some were crying, and Tilian leaned on the window on the third floor of the 'Diners', looking at these people in her eyes, and couldn't help but shake her head.
These people really can't figure it out, are they dignified men who have to live on books all their lives? They are all able-bodied people, and they have knowledge as a foundation, why can't they do something else, there are countless people who have jumped the moat because of the failure of the imperial examination over the years, and the highest record in the Xia Lan Dynasty is fifteen people a day.
Retracting her gaze, Tilian looked at the man sitting opposite her, and couldn't help asking, "Are there any hired by the Yun family for these unsuccessful scholars?" ”
The sea blue peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, Yun Shili shook his head, lowered his eyes and wrote, "Although the Yun family is rich, it is not a charity hall, could it be that you want to collect useful people from it?" ’
Di Lian looked at the moon and smiled, tilted her head when she looked at him, and said noncommittally, "It's okay, the Yun family has a huge number of talents, but my business is still short of manpower, if there are people who are willing to give up books and start business, you might as well use it." ”
Yun Shili smiled and bowed his head lightly in agreement.
In the past few days, the two have been discussing business with each other almost every day at 'Diners' Joy, and without Xie Hengxu to disturb him, Yun Shili only felt physically and mentally comfortable.
At this moment, Liu Junchen pushed the door in, and said with a heavy face, "Girl, something happened." ”
Both of them looked solemn, and Tilian got up from the couch with a slightly cool voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Junchen sweated on his forehead, his face was slightly pale and he sighed, "The Royal Forest Army entered the Hanlin Courtyard and took the third prince away. ”
The hands that overlapped in front of her abdomen tightened, and Di Lianyue's eyes sank slightly, "Sure enough, it's right, this third prince can't look good." ”
Yun Shili walked to her side with a worried face, and stretched out his hand to point to the autumn day outside the window.
Tillian understood, and said with her head bowed, "Let's discuss here today, you go back to the house first, and I'll go to the Hanlin Academy to inquire." Yun Shili meant that there was Xie Hengxu in the martial arts invigilation, so she shouldn't worry too much, but since Jiang Li was taken away by the Imperial Forest Army, this matter seemed to be to alarm Emperor Rui, and Xie Hengxu was afraid that his ability was limited.
With a slightly cold face, Tillian whispered, "Since someone wants to make a big deal out of it, it seems that they have to fight to the death to give up." ”
Tilian hurried back to the house, but at this time, Princess Shenghua had not yet received the news, and she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard her say that Jiang Li was taken away by the Royal Forest Army.
"These people are really funny, why do they have to take the Xiangfu every time!"
Tillian pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, yes, she was really stupid, she had to stab the muzzle of the gun every time, but she was not asking for her own death.
At night, Jiang Luoxiu returned home, and when Tilian got the news, she went straight to the study, pushed the door and entered, and saw Xie Hengxu and Xie Hengyuan, who had not been seen for a few days, and couldn't help but sink her heart.
Hurrying in, Tillian frowned and said, "What happened?" ”
Xie Hengxu got up, looked down at her, his eyebrows tightened, "There are no less than 100 scholars in the competition, I didn't see what happened, and the person who fought against Jiang Li fell to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth." ”
Xie Hengyuan continued, "The martial arts are all up to the point, although there are accidents, but this is the first time that a scholar died on the spot in the examination room, Lord Feng was furious, and directly announced that the Imperial Forest Army had arrested Jiang Li, and the body of the deceased was also brought back to the Kyoto Yamen." ”
Hearing this, Di Lian looked at Jiang Luoxiu, who was silent, "Daddy, the most important thing at this time is the corpse. ”
Jiang Li's honest and upright temperament, even if he is injured, he will not hurt anyone, he must have been calculated.
Jiang Luoxiu opened his mouth and said in a low tone, "If today's prison and the Kyoto Yamen are guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, don't worry too much. ”
Hearing this, Di Lian bowed her head slightly, the Imperial Forest Army is the personal guard of Emperor Rui, and it will definitely not be cheap to the third prince.
Xie Hengxu said lightly, "It would be good if Luo Jia was here at this time." ”
If that person had already passed his hands and feet, he would undoubtedly have been poisoned, since he dared to use it blatantly, it must be a poison that could not be detected, if Luo Jia was there, it would be much easier, and what poison could be hidden from his eyes.
Pursing her lips and glancing at him, Di Lian lowered her eyes and said, "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, if Xiahou Xi sends someone to buy off the guarded Imperial Forest Army, then the second brother is more than lucky this time." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Luo and said, "Daddy, can you let me meet the second brother." ”
Feng's eyes were indifferent, Jiang Luoxiu looked at her, "Someone entering and exiting will inevitably be known by Feng Yan, this time we can only wait and see what happens, the Criminal Department will look at the face of my Zuo Xiangfu, and will not torture Zili to extract a confession, Lian'er don't have to worry." ”
With a low sigh, Tilian asked, "If this matter alarms Emperor Rui, will it be handed over to the Criminal Department to deal with it all?" ”
Jiang Luoxiu shook his head, "According to His Majesty's thoughts, Feng Yan will be sent to preside over the case, and the crown prince and the third prince will both be the supervisors. ”
Dai frowned, and Di Lian said secretly, this emperor is really not something that anyone can do, even his own son has to be measured and calculated, and he is really a companion like a tiger.
"What is the identity of the deceased?" , turned his head to look at Xie Hengxu.
"The younger brother of Zhao Changfeng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Changlin." , so far, he showed helplessness.
Di Lian smiled in surprise, "This Zhao family has really been used thoroughly by the third prince. ”
This Ministry of Rites squire Zhao Changfeng is the eldest son of Zhao Yushi Yan who was bitten to death by a tiger in Shanglin Yuan last time, Emperor Rui made up for the misfortune of the Zhao family, and made an exception to canonize Zhao Changfeng to sit in the position of the Ministry of Rites and Waiter, and now his younger brother is being used again, and he died indirectly under Jiang Li.
Seeing Di Lian's expression, Xie Hengyuan on the side was also speechless, and seeing that it was not early, he got up and said, "The handling of this matter still needs to wait until the end of the martial arts trial, and don't act rashly during this time, the movement of the third prince is naturally watched by the prince, so we will wait and see what happens, and then the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." ”
When several people heard this, they knew that it could only be like this, and Tillian frowned lightly and said, "I have been put on the passive every time, if the second brother can save the day this time, I must pay tribute to him fiercely, otherwise I really think that the Prime Minister is easy to bully." ”
Jiang Luoxiu disagreed when he heard this, "If Zili returns safely, this matter will be noted first, and Lian'er must not act recklessly." ”
"Reckless?" , Tillian smiled, "Daddy, last time it affected my reputation, and this time I want to take the life of my second brother, what will it be next time?" Some dogs will only get worse if they don't hit them hard. ”
"Lian'er." , sighed, Jiang Luoxiu stared at her with a stern expression,
Lifting her chin slightly, Tilian said lightly, "Lian'er has her own way, Daddy doesn't have to worry." Then he turned and left.
