When the good news of the noisy gongs and drums reached the Gao family's courtyard, Bai Yingtian was still a little stunned. The leader who came to report the good news saw Bai Yingtian, and his expression was very respectful: "Congratulations to Master Bai, the ninth place in the first class of high school!" Suddenly, the small courtyard was boiling. Uncle Zhong, the housekeeper, immediately ordered people to set off firecrackers. and a generous reward. The steward took the reward and checked it, and the portion was sufficient. While saying that he didn't dare, he put it away with a smile. When he finally left, Mo Ming muttered wonderfully: "It is worthy of the handwriting of the general's family, it is rare!" Everyone didn't pay attention to his words, and everyone was carried away by the joy. After a while, the family who went to Zhang's house also sent good news. Zhang Zizan is the top of the high school list and the leader of the year! The family has two jinshi, which is really a great joy. Before it got dark, the courtyard was crowded with people who came to congratulate him. There are people from the Gao family, people from the Zhang family, and people from the Kang family. Prince Gong's Mansion also sent a few people over to say hello, but they were all a few stewards with heads and faces. In addition, there are students who are on the same list. Shen Fang was busy and lacked skills. But fortunately, Kang's mother came over early in the morning to help her with the entertainment. Naturally, there is Jin Xiu outside to help with the dots. Speaking of which, Uncle Zhong has to blame the second young master for not being in tune. I obviously said that I would send it off, and the eldest lady would be back soon. He's good, since he sent Shen Rong out of Beijing, there has been no news until now. Fortunately, the eldest young master had already passed the exam, otherwise, he would really be busy to death.

Three days later, Zhang Zizan has always been famous for his writing, and he has outstanding appearance, but he lived up to expectations and won the champion. And the list was won by the son of a scholar, only Tanhua, who was appointed by the general to ask the emperor, and it was Bai Yingtian, a student of Panlong who has always given people the feeling of being unknown. However, as he was hit by Tanhua, the next thing was a holy decree from the emperor: "Tanhua Lang Bai Yingtian has a pure and noble character, and the article is concise." Specially given Wenyuan Pavilion six bachelors. In addition, Zheng Zhu, the daughter of the general of Dingxi, was married. Get married today! After receiving the holy decree, Bai Yingtian was stunned. For a student, this should be the highest honor. But how could the emperor give marriage? I already have a marriage contract, what should I do if I have a marriage contract? Do you want to return it? He couldn't help but think of these days with Shen Fang. Every day, people bring exquisite meals, and snacks and tea are even more meticulous. Although they hadn't met a few times, he just knew that Shen Fang should have personally arranged for him. And his heart has always been secretly grateful. originally thought that once he passed the exam, he could marry Shen Fang. Although Shen Fang will take another year to reach the end. But the person in his heart has always been her.

The eunuch who announced the decree thought that this new detective Hualang was happy, and forgot to thank him. couldn't help but remind him in a long tone: "Tanhualang, don't you want to thank you soon!" But Tanhualang in front of the meeting knelt down solemnly, and there was no joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Immediately, a clear voice sounded: "Chen Bai should accept the order!" Thank you, Emperor Longen! However, the minister already has a marriage contract. The emperor's marriage, the ministers dare not accept it! A large wave of gasps rang out. Does he know what he's doing? Actually resisting the decree? And it was the queen's niece who refused! Xia Nanshan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, obviously didn't expect this. glanced at Dingxi General Zheng Shengquan, and saw that his face was already blue. "Your Majesty, Tanhua despises the grace of the Holy Grace, resists the decree and disrespects, and should be beheaded according to the law!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. It was the imperial envoy Chen of the dynasty who spoke, and after Zheng Shengquan glanced at it, he immediately understood and said: "Your Majesty, Tanhualang has been cold for ten years, and there is a splendid belly. It's a shame to cut it off. It's better to let the little girl get started with the woman he had a marriage contract with before, and follow the example of Empress E. It's also a good story! As soon as these words came out, many people nodded frequently, and General Zheng said this, but it was really magnificent. This Bai Yingtian's ancestor really burned high incense. Even the emperor couldn't help but wonder secretly, this brother-in-law is rare to be so magnanimous. Unexpectedly, the man kneeling on the ground actually replied: "Your Majesty, the woman who is engaged to the minister is the daughter of the teacher, and the teacher is as kind to the minister as a mountain. And my Bai family has always been a family heirloom, and has never accepted a concubine to marry a second room. The county lord of Mingyue is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the minister's family background is weak, so he really doesn't dare to climb high. He also asked the emperor to retract his order, so as not to wronged the county lord. Saying this, even the emperor couldn't wait to give him a moment. Don't say that General Guo's face is ugly, most of the people in the hall are secretly shaking their heads, what a Tanhualang who doesn't know what to do! But I saw a person say in a loud voice: "Tanhualang is so bold!" Since the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die! The emperor has good intentions, but you have refused so many times, where is the dignity of the emperor? Dare you go to Beijing to take the exam, isn't it to be loyal to the country and serve the emperor? "It turned out to be Prince Gong who spoke loudly. Because of his identity, Prince Gong rarely spoke out on major court affairs, and mostly showed people as an idle clan. At this moment, he actually came out to speak out, which made everyone strange. The emperor was also a little puzzled. This younger brother has always been a character who is better than less than one thing, this time, why is it? Press the doubts in the abdomen and see the development below.

Bai Yingtian knelt on the ground and replied without humility: "The ministers went to Beijing thousands of miles away, naturally in order to dedicate what they had learned to the emperor and do their duty for the country. However, the ancients said that the Qi family ruled the country and leveled the world. Family is the foundation of a person's life, and if the family is not even, there is no way to talk about the way to govern the country. Therefore, since the beginning of the ancestors, the ministers only marry their wives, and never accept concubines, in order to have a clean and upright family style, and there is little difference between the concubines and concubines, and the wives and concubines are disputed. Therefore, the minister only needs to marry one person as his wife. Because the minister and the Gao daughter have a marriage contract for a long time, the minister cannot break the contract. And the county lord of Mingyue is a golden branch and jade leaf, and with the family background of the minister, it is really not enough to match. Please also ask Your Majesty Haihan. The emperor listened to his set of theories of Qi family governing the country and leveling the world, which was also fresh. couldn't help asking: "Since ancient times, it is natural for men to have three wives and four concubines. The affairs of the back house have their own wife's cooking. Marrying one more room is just one more wife, what does it have to do with the Qi family? When Bai Yingtian heard the emperor's question, he replied again: "Go back to Your Majesty." All of us men are naturally focused on making meritorious contributions. And then the women of the house, but they all regard their husbands as the sky. And the woman is narrow-minded and can only tolerate one but not two. There are even people who make poems and say that they wish to have one heart, and the white heads are not separated. If the couple is harmonious, naturally a family is also happy. It's just that if there is a concubine, it is inevitable that the husband will be distracted. Husbands and wives have grievances, and wives and concubines are jealous, jealous and complaining, and cannot be reconciled. Naturally, it is difficult to be happy at home. Therefore, as long as the minister marries a wife and has a safe house, he can be more loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly. Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help nodding secretly, this Tanhualang is really not simple. Bold enough, but also witty enough. It's just that he is so openly resistant, but he still has to suffer some hardships. Young man, if you don't grind him, you don't know how thick the sky is. When his face sank, he said coldly: "Although what you said is not unreasonable, but under my holy decree, do you insist on resisting the decree?" Bai Yingtian lowered his head, pondered for a moment and said, "The minister doesn't dare." However, the minister also did not want to lose his trust in his teacher. If His Majesty wants the minister to accept the order, the minister will not dare not accept it. However, after the minister receives the order, he should die to repay the teacher. He said firmly, but the people who listened to him gasped, this Tanhualang was also carried by the emperor. The emperor frowned and said, "Bold, do you mean that I am suppressing people with power?" Am I such a person? Bai Yingtian felt a tightness in his back. But he still stubbornly said: "The minister doesn't dare." The emperor is wise and martial, and he is the emperor of the ages. The minister did not dare to criticize! A faint smile appeared on Emperor Wenyan's face, yes, this kid also knows how to pat on the back, although it is not very useful, but it means that at least he is not rotten. So he nodded and said, "Since you admit that I am wise and powerful, then I can't let you down too much!" Come on, I'm going to be overbearing! "The civil and military ministers in the hall are all stunned, which one is this singing? But listening to the emperor whispering a few words in the ear of the chief eunuch, the eunuch began to sing a promise: "Today, there is Tanhualang Bai Yingtian's disobedience to the decree, disobeying the holy decree, taking away his Jinshi background, exempting him from all official positions, issuing an order to return to his hometown, and not being allowed to enter Beijing unless he is ordered to do so!" Another 20 boards will be punished to set an example! As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked. You must know that after ten years of cold windows, it is really not an acceptable thing to lose the fame that you have achieved with great difficulty. Looking at Bai Yingtian's eyes, there was pity, ridicule, and even schadenfreude secretly sneered: "If you don't marry a good county lord's wife, you will end up like this." That's stupid! Zhang Zizan's face flashed a trace of sincere respect for Bai Yingtian. Born in a humble family, he has the courage and courage to assert his own position. Not confused by power and wealth, the firmness of this son's heart and noble ambition are extraordinary! Such a person, I believe that the emperor will not abandon him at will. Bai Yingtian heard the emperor's edict, but he was overjoyed. Accept it calmly, and then go out with the people to carry out the execution.
