Chapter 402: Mandate of Heaven

"Who should I look for when the temple exam is asked?" Xiao Mu was a little stunned by Lin Yi's question, "Of course, you can still find Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, it's a big deal to let them enjoy the treatment of being locked up in a 'big prison' again, and I can guarantee that they must be very happy with this kind of treatment."

"But as you said just now, before you asked them to come to the test this time, they didn't know that they were going to come to the test." Lin Yi shook his head, indicating that Xiao Mu didn't understand what she meant, "And the next time the palace exam comes out, if you ask them again, they will naturally already know that as long as they come to the question." ”

"Wait a minute, I seem to understand......" Xiao Mu said that he asked Lin Yi not to continue, he felt that he was only a layer of window paper away from the key question that Lin Yi wanted to express, and he could think of it at any time, and sure enough, in the next second, Xiao Mu woke up like a dream and said, "Yes, this time I asked them to come up with the exam questions, and they were prepared in their hearts, maybe they would think that the task of the palace exam was also the two of them, maybe they were thinking about the questions of the palace exam now, And then when I actually call them to prepare for the temple exam, they will have a chance to leak out the questions they have prepared in advance, if they are really that kind of people, of course. ”

"And even I can know the content of the exam questions so quickly, with Daming's current situation that is completely a sieve, it is estimated that many people already know by now, and the two of them are the ones who will test the questions this time." Lin Yi further said, "It is estimated that in the next few days, Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru's mansions are going to be full of people, and you can naturally understand what kind of mentality those people who go to visit them." ”

"Makes sense...... Xiao Mu nodded very seriously, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "In that case, it seems that when the palace exam is out, I really can't continue to look for them, and I have to change two people." ”

"Why did you give up on writing the questions yourself?" Lin Yi asked another question, which she had planned to ask a long time ago, "Obviously, three days ago, you were confident that you would come up with a few 'interception questions', and it was difficult for the candidates who referred to it this time." ”

"Originally, I really wanted to do it myself." Xiao Mu first said that he hadn't forgotten his previous words, and then continued to explain, "It's just that I haven't thought about what kind of topic I should come up with, and the latest news came back from Ning Yuan's side." ”

"Oh? What's the news? As soon as Lin Yi heard that Ning Yuan had news coming back again, it was naturally something that had happened in Liaodong, so he hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's still about Ning Yuan's mutiny before." Speaking of this matter, Xiao Mu's mood seemed to be a lot lower, "The people I sent before felt Ning Yuan non-stop and brought the will to pardon Bi Zisu's innocence, but it was still a little late......"

"What?" Lin Yi was also shocked when he heard the news, "Then Bi Zisu has ......?" ”

Lin Yi's words were not finished, but Xiao Mu knew what she was going to ask, so he continued to answer, "Not yet, when the news came back, it was said that Bi Zisu had been on a hunger strike for many days and was already unconscious, although he had already found Lang Zhong for treatment, but there was no guarantee that he would be able to save his life." ”

"This was news from two days ago, and it will take some time to get on the road." Lin Yi roughly estimated, "By now, it should have been three days, and you haven't received any new news?" ”

"Not yet, this is one of the reasons why I can't calm down and feel at ease, as long as I think that Bi Zisu, who is obviously not at fault, and Bi Zisu, who has asked the court for payment nine times in a row, is still in danger of his life, although I try to read books like "The Analects", but I can't read it at all."

"The absence of news is in some ways good news." Lin Yi had no choice but to comfort Xiao Mu like this and said, "At least until the latest news arrives, everything is unknown, and the final result still has all kinds of possibilities, and Bi Zisu still has the hope and possibility of being rescued." ”

Lin Ye's words reminded Xiao Mu of a classic theory in the natural sciences of his later life: that is, the concept of "SchrΓΆdinger's cat", but this thought only flashed in his heart, and he did not say this to Lin Yi - if it was usual, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to show off in front of Lin Ye.

"I hope so." Xiao Mu said, "I'm very conflicted now, the more I don't have news, the more worried I am, the more I want to know what Bi Zisu's situation is, but if I have to tell me the result now, I'm a little afraid to listen to it, for fear that it will be a disappointing bad result in the end." ”

"You've done your best." Lin Yi said, "It hasn't been long since you crossed over, Bi Zisu has been on the line for nine times in a row, at least the first six times happened before you crossed, this problem is not a day or two, maybe Bi Zisu has died because of this in the original history, and this time you confiscated Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku's family property, and finally sent military salaries to the Ningyuan front line in time, and now there is no definite news that Bi Zisu is dead." So, you've done well enough that there's nothing to blame yourself again. ”

Although what Lin Yi just said was just a conjecture, because she didn't know what the outcome of the Ningyuan mutiny in the original history was, her guess was very consistent with the truth - that is, on the basis of the original history, Bi Zisu died because of this mutiny.

"Maybe what you say has a point, I should be a little more open." Xiao Mu replied, "But after all, a law-abiding, honest and selfless official is likely to lose his life because of the mistakes of the imperial court, and I, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the king of a country, has no choice but to witness the arrival of a possible tragedy......"

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not omnipotent, otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty perish?" Lin Yi continued, "You have done everything you can, the aftermath of this Ningyuan mutiny is already in place, and all you can do now is to pray in your heart, hoping that Bi Zisu can survive this hurdle." ”

"This is the so-called 'do your best, obey the destiny of heaven', right?" Xiao Mu replied, in fact, this is another idiom that Xiao Mu has regained his deep knowledge and understanding in just a few days, after all, before the crossing, Xiao Mu had not experienced an event and environment that could make him truly understand these idioms, and the current Da Ming is full of such opportunities.
