Chapter 108: Never Know That You Must Do It (2)
Mu Shengbai looked dumbfounded, he didn't expect the little boy in front of him to have such a ability, and he also had the intention of winning over in his heart, "No, the little brother is also going to Beijing to catch the exam?" ”
Gu Yeyang smiled heartily, and his face was like a peach blossom, scorching and eye-catching, "This is nature, if you don't go through a imperial examination in life, and you beat the crowd, how can you be happy!" ”
Mu Shengbai was infected by Gu Yeyang's arrogance, and became more and more satisfied with the young man in front of him, "What the little brother said is extremely right. ”
"Hahaha" Gu Yeyang Lang laughed, with a little starlight in his eyes, "I don't know the name of the benefactor yet?" But the benefactor also has to go to the imperial city to catch the exam? Why don't we go together, so that we can have company? ”
"My name is Mu Shengbai, little brother don't benefactor benefactor's name, just call me Shengbai, at that time it was just a gesture, it is expected that anyone who has the ability to help will not be stingy to contribute, I am not going to catch the exam, and there are tasks on my body, so it's a pity that I can't be with the little brother of Yeyang." But when the time comes, we will definitely have a chance to meet in the Imperial City. ”
Gu Yeyang's face was full of pity, but he also knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask more, so he only arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I also force it, and I also hope that as Brother Sheng Bai said, there will be a chance to meet in the imperial city." ”
Mu Shengbai smiled with satisfaction, but the sound from his stomach made his old success ruined, looking at Gu Yeyang with a smile on his face, Mu Shengbai was a little embarrassed and said, "I wonder if Yeyang can have dinner with me?" ”
"That's nature." Gu Yeyang came over and put his arm on Mu Shengbai's shoulder, the two entered the inn together, ordered a table of good dishes, Mu Shengbai couldn't help but call two pots of daughter red, but he didn't expect Gu Yeyang to have an excellent amount of wine, and his face didn't change after a pot, and the two of them ate very happily this meal.
Early in the morning, his mother was sick and rushed to the next place to help Du Weizhen find talents, Gu Yeyang was still asleep, and he didn't have time to say hello, so he left a message with the shopkeeper, and then left in a hurry.
The prince's invigilation is a tradition in the past, and all Emperor Jingyuan mentioned it in the court, but this statement will be discussed below.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been in office for a long time, and his qualifications are still shallow, so it is inappropriate for him to invigilate the exam." It was Concubine Shu's father Fang Shoufu who came out to speak, that is, the second prince's lease, when Emperor Jingyuan was not proclaimed emperor, he and Wang Suping jointly assisted him, and he was very authoritative in the court, and he didn't need to worry too much about talking.
"Yes, yes, it's inappropriate, if there is an emergency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not deal with it properly." The two princes echoed one after another, and the court was bustling.
Du Weizhen was still modest, but the hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench.
Emperor Jing Yuan was not surprised by these open and secret battles, these noisy voices made him have a headache, and he rubbed his temples, "What do you think Aiqing should do?" ”
"The minister thinks that the second prince and the prince should be invigilated together, and the more people there are, the more power, so that the second prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince can help each other, and the two highnesses can also help revise the papers, just to see their opinions on the candidates' articles." Fang Shoufu's words provoked the civil officials around him to agree, if only the second prince was allowed to invigilate and participate in the revision of the paper alone, it would be most satisfactory for him, but he knew that this matter was not feasible, so it was not impossible to take a step back.
Emperor Jing Yuan felt that it was feasible and looked at Du Weizhen, "What does the prince think?" ”
After seeing the prime minister nodding slightly, Du Weizhen also stood up, "It's all up to the emperor's arrangement." ”
This matter is equivalent to dust falling to the ground, Du Chenliang looked proud, what if Du Weizhen is the prince, it is not that he can't press himself, but when the time comes, he will see how Du Weizhen changes the volume.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighing so much?" As soon as Mu Shengbai returned to Mu Mansion, he was brought into the East Palace by Sixi who came in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he saw Du Weizhen sitting on the main seat sighing and sighing, with a sad face.
Du Weizhen was in need of someone who could be trusted and could relieve his worries to listen to him, and when he saw Mu Shengbai, he felt a little more comfortable, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down, which was to slowly talk about today's affairs in the court.
Mu Shengbai listened very carefully, and frowned when he heard Fang Shoufu come out to speak, knowing that something must happen next, sure enough, when he heard the solution proposed by Fang Shoufu, Mu Shengbai couldn't help but spit and said indignantly: "I knew that this old man was not well-intentioned." ”
"Didn't this old man target me three or four times just to pave the way for his grandson, I can't do it, then Du Chenliang can compare to me." In front of Mu Shengbai, Du Weizhen always involuntarily unloaded his maturity and regained some of his youthful spirit, even the old man said it.
He was already younger than Mu Shengbai, even if he grew up in the palace where he ate people and didn't spit out bones, his youthful spirit still couldn't be completely wiped out.
"The second prince is not as good as His Royal Highness, but he is not much worse in terms of single product line." Mu Shengbai thought of the living monkey brain again, and couldn't help but spit on it.
"Of course, my father once praised me for being the only one in the world with a benevolent heart." Hearing Mu Shengbai's praise, Du Weizhen couldn't help but say Emperor Jingyuan's praise for him, with a proud face.
Mu Shengbai looked at Du Weizhen, who was becoming more and more open by his side, and a sense of pride rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but love and protect this young prince, and he also understood the mood of several senior brothers when facing him.
"Your Highness is naturally the best." As soon as he was proud, Mu Shengbai couldn't hold his mouth and praised again and again.
Du Weizhen was also a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and picked up the prince's shelf again, "What do you think Shengbai should do with me?" ”
Mu Shengbai couldn't help laughing, but seeing that Du Weizhen was so serious, he also straightened his face, and said: "Your Highness only needs to fulfill your obligations seriously, and be serious when invigilating, as for changing the papers, it is according to the emperor's preferences, after all, it is best to have a palace examination, and it still depends on the emperor's preferences." ”
Du Weizhen thought so, and left Mu Shengbai for lunch together.
As soon as Mu Shengbai was about to leave, a palace maid wearing a purple palace dress walked in, saluted the prince, and looked at Mu Shengbai beside him suspiciously.
Du Weizhen saw that the palace maid had been staring at Mu Shengbai, and he had a headache, he naturally recognized this palace maid, she was a first-class palace maid by Yan'er's side, and she also learned a little bit of Yan'er's temperament, "Nuan Chun, this is Lord Shengbai, and he is so rude." ”
Nuan Chun was not much afraid, naturally lowered her head, and also saluted Mu Shengbai, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the princess wants you to accompany her to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, but the princess said that she was 'bored'." ”
