In the evening, in the Jingshi Gongyuan, under the candlelight, Li Hongyu stared at the exam questions on the exam papers, and silently recited in his heart.

This exam question is from the Analects, one of the three "Four Books" questions, and after comparing the three questions, I decided to choose it to answer, and I was going to write an eight-strand essay with this question.

At this time, Li Hongyu had already finished answering the questions of the "Book of Songs" in the "Five Classics" on the examination paper, and compared with the examination questions of the "Five Classics", it was obvious that the "Four Books" questions with a special format of Baguwen were more difficult to answer, so it was natural to leave them until the end.

At this moment, Li Hongyu, who was busy organizing language, would never have thought that Zhu Wanting had already killed Zhang Quan in order to avenge him.

And once Zhang Quan dies inexplicably, then the consequences will become extremely serious, you must know that this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all, and Zhang Quan is the little marquis, and things will definitely make a storm in the city.

"It is advisable for the saint to hide, and for those who are able to begin to reveal it."

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Hongyu picked up his pen and wrote a sentence on the examination paper, which is his opinion on this "Analects", that is, the "breaking the question" in the Bagu text.

The quality of an eight-strand essay is extremely important, representing the writer's understanding and response to the topic, and a good solution can instantly raise the article to a higher level.

"It is not easy to cover the saint's line of hiding, and it is not easy to regulate it, and it can be said from a few faces."

Subsequently, Li Hongyu quickly wrote another sentence, which is the "subject" of this eight-strand article, explaining his "problem-solving".

Because he had already made a sample in his heart, Li Hongyu wrote down in an orderly manner, starting from the talk, starting with the shares, starting the shares, the middle shares, the back shares and the bundle of shares in one go, forming the eight major parts of the eight-strand text.

After writing the last word, Li Hongyu put down his pen and blew on the wet ink on the exam paper, read it carefully and silently and put the exam paper on the table with a smile, quite satisfied with his eight-strand essay.

"Hungry!"

Then, Li Hongyu patted his stomach, took out pots and pans and began to cook noodles to eat.

Since he was imprisoned in the Daxing County Jail, he hasn't eaten a good meal, and he has spent so much energy answering the exam papers, so he has already been hungry, and now he naturally has to eat a big meal.

Soon, the steaming and fragrant noodles were tumbling in the pot, and Li Hongyu put vegetable leaves, meat slices, and fish slices into the pot with a comfortable face, and he felt very relaxed now because he had finished writing the exam papers.

If it weren't for the fear that the rice balls, chaos, and dumplings would be split with a knife by the messenger in charge of body search, then Li Hongyu really wanted to bring some rice balls or something in.

However, compared to other candidates, he has eaten quite richly, and other candidates usually use steamed buns or cakes to satisfy their hunger.

"It's strange, someone has the leisure to make a fire to cook this year?" While Li Hongyu was eating noodles with relish, two patrol soldiers passing by the door smelled the aroma of noodles, and a young soldier couldn't help but ask his companion in surprise.

"What's all the fuss about, there are a lot of strange things on the field!" Another soldier, who was in his thirties, pursed the corners of his mouth when he heard this, looking strange, and then twitched his nose, "But don't say it, this craft is really good, it smells good." ”

Li Hongyu, who was feasting, heard the conversation between the two soldiers outside, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, thinking that he had experienced countless battles in the big and small exams back then, and he had long been accustomed to the exam, plus he was in his chest, so he naturally seemed to be at ease at this time.

At the same time, Princess Shouning's Mansion.

"Princess, the little one got the news that the county lord of Zhaoxiang sent someone to arrest the second son of the Marquis of Wuwei tonight, as if he was going to sink him into the river!"

Princess Shouning and the concubine Ran Xingrang were drinking in the back house, when a guard suddenly entered the door and bowed down to report to Princess Shouning.

"What?" Princess Shouning was slightly stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but let go of the strings in her hand, and looked at the guard with a surprised expression, "Is it already decided?" ”

"Back to the princess, it is the news from the people around the county lord of Zhaoxiang, the small one has been confirmed, and many of the guards around the county lord of Zhaoxiang have left the house." The guard bowed slightly, then replied in a deep voice.

"Princess, it seems that this matter is true, it must be that the people around Lord Zhaoxiang feel that this matter is inappropriate, so they deliberately released the news."

At this time, Ran Xingrang put down the wine glass in his hand, and after a deep groan, he said to Princess Shouning with a smile, "It seems that the county lord was provoked this time and wanted to give Li Xie Yuan a head." ”

"This girl!" Princess Shouning naturally knew that Zhu Wanting had a deep affection for Li Hongyu, and couldn't help but smile helplessly when she heard this, then got up and said to Ran Xingrang, "I'll go and persuade her, if the little marquis of Wuwei Hou's Mansion really dies, then the capital will cause an uproar." ”

"Princess, she will definitely listen to you." Ran Xingrang stood up and sent Princess Shouning out with a smile, and now the only person who can persuade Zhu Wanting is Princess Shouning.

In an elegant courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, Zhu Wanting was in the room intently wiping the sword in her hand, which was a gift from King Xiang on her fifteenth birthday, made of stainless steel, and was her favorite weapon.

"Your Highness the Princess." The door suddenly opened, and the two maids in the room bowed down and saluted Princess Shouning who came in.

"You guys go out first, this palace has something to talk to the county lord." Princess Shouning bowed slightly to the two princesses, and the two maids retreated in amusement.

"Sister, why are you here so late?" Zhu Wanting put the sword in her hand back into the scabbard, walked over with a smile and grabbed Princess Shouning's arm affectionately, she knew that today was the day when the princess and the concubine got together, so now the two of them should spend the first month, Qingqing and me.

"Ting'er, do you think Li Xie Yuan can be admitted to the Gongshi this time?" Princess Shouning smiled slightly, and then asked quietly.

"Sister, with his literary talent, he will definitely be able to be admitted to the Gongshi!" Zhu Wanting did not hesitate at all, nodded and replied in a coquettish voice, she was full of confidence in Li Hongyu.

"Being admitted to the Gongshi means that he will become a new science and technology jinshi, and with Li Jieyuan's talent, he will definitely be able to rank among the top two in the palace examination."

Princess Shouning first smiled slightly when she heard this, then shook her head, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, even if Li Jieyuan is talented, the emperor will not reuse him, and he will definitely be lowered to the bottom of the top three in the palace examination!" ”

"Sister, why do you say this?" Zhu Wanting was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at Princess Shouning with a concerned expression.

"Ting'er, Emperor Taizu once set the ancestral system in order to avoid chaos among his relatives, and the daughters of the royal family are not allowed to marry in the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and becoming the son-in-law of the royal family means cutting off the road to official careers."

Princess Shouning saw Zhu Wanting looking at her nervously, so she replied with a smile, "If the emperor knew about you and Li Jieyuan, how would he think of Li Jieyuan?" ”

"Sister, do you know about me and Li Jieyuan?" Zhu Wanting was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Princess Shouning in surprise, she had never told Princess Shouning about the emotional entanglement between Princess Shouning and Li Hongyu.

"You have sent someone to sink the second son of Wuwei Hou into the canal, how can my sister not know about you and Li Jieyuan."

Princess Shouning smiled, stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of Zhu Wanting's nose, "Originally, my sister thought it was strange, you just returned to Xiangyang from Nanjing, how could King Xiang be willing to let you leave again, it turns out that you came here for Li Jieyuan." ”

"Sister, Ting'er is here to see you in the capital, and it has nothing to do with Li Jieyuan!"

Zhu Wanting's cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard this, and then she looked at Princess Shouning in surprise and asked, "Sister, how do you know that I am going to give Zhang Quan to Shen Jiang?" ”

"It doesn't matter how my sister knows, the important thing is that if the little marquis of Wuwei Hou's mansion dies, then Li Jieyuan's career will be ruined."

Princess Shouning did not answer Zhu Wanting's question, but said to her solemnly, "The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the people who have the Si Yamen will definitely find out the cause of the death of the little marquis, and then the matter between you and Li Jieyuan will be known to the emperor, and Li Jieyuan's future will be ruined." ”

"Sister, one person does things and one person does it, Zhang Quan was killed by me and has nothing to do with Li Jieyuan." Zhu Wanting was immediately anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly argued that she didn't want Li Hongyu to fall into this matter.

"You are the county lord of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will naturally protect you, and he will definitely find a way to cover up this matter."

Princess Shouning couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this, it seemed that Zhu Wanting was still too innocent and didn't realize what serious consequences her actions would bring, so she said in a deep voice, "If my sister didn't guess wrong, the emperor will give you a marriage, if you are lucky, you will marry Li Jieyuan, and if you are unlucky, you will marry someone else." ”

Zhu Wanting was stunned for a moment, how did she know that the situation would be so serious, but she was just angry that Zhang Quan framed Li Hongyu so much and wanted to vent her anger to Li Hongyu, lest Zhang Quan calculate Li Hongyu in the future.

"Actually, if you are angry in your heart, just teach him a lesson, there is no need to take his life."

Seeing Zhu Wanting's stunned look on her face, Princess Shouning knew that she was afraid, so Yu Feng turned around and persuaded, "The second son of Wuwei Hou usually acts arrogantly and domineeringly, and he has a big enmity with Li Jieyuan, but he still doesn't dare to attack Li Jieyuan openly, so it can be seen that sometimes fighting and killing is not a good way to solve things, so you have to think twice." ”

"Thank you sister for reminding me, I will arrange for someone to wait for the city gate to open early tomorrow morning and tell the people who are doing the work, and let Zhang Quan go after a lesson."

When Zhu Wanting heard this, she felt that what Princess Shouning said was reasonable, nodded thoughtfully, and then took her arm affectionately and said, "My sister must have seen a lot of knowledge in the capital for many years, and she will teach me well in the future." ”

"Sister, it's just that I've seen a lot of things in the capital, if you talk about mental strategy, Li Jieyuan is much more powerful than my sister, so you have to ask him more for advice before you act in the future."

Princess Shouning suddenly laughed, she was very pleased that Zhu Wanting knew her mistakes and could change them, she didn't deliberately praise Li Hongyu in front of Zhu Wanting, but really thought that Li Hongyu was not a simple character, and she was the most popular in this move to Beijing to catch the exam.

"My sister exalts him too much, and he is far worse than my sister." After listening to Princess Shouning's words, Zhu Wanting secretly felt happy in her heart, and said humbly, after all, not everyone can be recognized by Princess Shouning.

Li Hongyu would never have thought that if he hadn't been Zhu Wanting's guard cleverly revealed the news to Princess Shouning, then he would have to lie down this time, otherwise, with his relationship with Zhu Wanting, Emperor Wanli would have to abandon him.

Obviously, the Wanli Emperor will not let a person who is close to the local vassal king enter the center of the Ming court, since the Yongle Emperor Jing martyrdom, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are wary of the vassal king, and would rather spend a huge amount of money to support the local royal family in politics and business, just to avoid the development of those imperial families.

This also made the imperial family millions but no available people when the Ming Dynasty fell, otherwise the Ming Empire would not have come to an end.
