The Jinshi imperial examination of the Daning Dynasty will be held on the second day of the ninth month, for three consecutive days, which will be a high-profile date and will also determine the fate of tens of thousands of scholars.

On the eve of the imperial examination, almost everyone had trouble sleeping, and although only 60 of the 50,000 people could make it to the gold list, every scholar hoped that he could become one of the 60.

This is the dream of every scholar, or to get promoted to become rich, or for the beautiful woman's mansion, or to govern the world and realize the ambitions in his heart.

At night, Huangfu Weiming couldn't sleep for a long time, his heart was not quiet, very chaotic, and even a little inexplicable trouble.

He only learned three days ago that his foolish brother had no Jin, and he actually ascended to the sky as a royal family in one step, and after becoming the king of Liang, he was crowned the Duke of Liangguo, his heart was very complicated, there was a sadness of losing his brother, and at the same time he was happy for his brother, but in the depths of his heart, there was a trace of irrepressible jealousy.

The brother has ascended to heaven, but he is still struggling among the mediocrity, why didn't the sky give him this opportunity?

Although Zongzheng Temple had already determined that Wu Jin was not the child of the Donghai Huangfu clan, Wei Ming knew that Wu Jin was his own brother, and his younger brother was born less than an hour ago, so his mother showed him and told him with a smile that his younger brother had a red mole on his left ear.

This red mole is still there, how can he be fake, impossible, this is the Liangwang family playing tricks, but he doesn't want to reveal this secret, as a royal family, his brother is only good for him.

In addition to sadness, happiness, and jealousy, he also has a more complex emotion, that is, fear, which he has hidden in his heart for many years, but his peaceful life has not revealed this fear.

But after the incredible thing that Wu Jin turned into a royal family, this fear in his heart began to swell, and it began to make him more and more anxious, only he knew that the myth after his brother turned into a Liang King was not accidental.

Because there is a secret hidden in his life that shocks the world, that is, who is his father?

Since he was a child, he felt that his father was very mysterious, and often locked himself in his room, for two or three days, or stared at the night sky in a daze, often sleepless all night, and basically ignored their brothers, and occasionally remembered them, and either beat and scolded them, or hugged them and cried, and his emotions were very unstable, and he shouted in his dreams more than once, calling his father and the queen, and shouting that he wanted to regain the throne and wash the world in blood.

His father said to him on his deathbed that once his identity was exposed, it would set off a bloody storm in the Daning Dynasty, and he firmly remembered what his father said when he was dying.

His father's name is Huangfu Tianzhu, but his grandfather told him personally, his father's name is Tianfeng, this time he studied in Hongwenguan, and finally found a complete royal genealogy, Emperor Jin'an is called Huangfu Ji, known as Mourning Zong, his brother Chu Wang Huangfu Zhao, that is, Emperor Shengzong who later seized the throne, and then the current emperor Huangfu Xuande, there is no name of Huangfu Ji's descendants in all the existing royal genealogies, which gives people an illusion that Huangfu Ji has no queen, so Shengzong succeeded to the throne.

However, this royal family genealogy of Hongwen Hall has the name of Prince Aizong, which is clearly written, Huangfu Tianfeng.

It was this genealogy that made Wei Ming's fear suddenly increase tenfold, and he finally confirmed his origins, it turned out that he was also a royal family, he was the grandson of Emperor Jin'an, and so was his brother Wujin, and the reason for his father's abnormal behavior in the past was easily solved.

This discovery made Huangfu Weiming in a state of anxiety and fear these days, so that he had no intention of studying, he knew very well what would happen to him once his secret was revealed, not only him, but also his wife and children would die without a place to die, which made Huangfu Weiming have a fear of impending catastrophe.

But after his brother Huangfu Wujin suddenly became King Liang, this strange change initially made Huangfu Weiming's heart very confused, but in the past two days, he gradually began to calm down, and he began to realize that this may be an opportunity for him, a chance to completely break off with Emperor Jin'an, once Wujin and he are no longer brothers, then Emperor Jin'an will be Wujin after him, not him.

Although he still felt a little self-blame and loss in his heart, Huangfu Weiming never wanted to become the emperor of Jin'an, it was not a kind of royal glory that people expected, but a terrifying disaster.

Huangfu Weiming sighed, looking up at the crescent moon in the night sky, wondering if his father's spirit in the sky could forgive him for his selfishness.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Huangfu Weiming thought it was a servant serving him, so he said, "No need to rush anymore, I will go to rest soon." ”

No one answered, Wei Ming glanced back, and was suddenly startled, only to see the crown prince Fu Heng standing behind him with a smile on his face, he hurriedly turned around and knelt down, "I don't know that the prince has arrived, and if you are rude, please forgive the prince." ”

"It should be me who apologizes to you, I disturbed your rest."

"Nope! No! His Highness did not disturb, and His Highness invited him to sit in the room. ”

Huangfu Heng shook his head, and he looked at a path beside him, "Let's go!" ”

He walked to the path next to him with his hands behind his back, Wei Ming followed him, tiptoeing, holding his breath, uncomfortable, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, his bloodline is more noble than Huang Fu Heng, if the change of Jin An does not happen, it should be Huang Fu Heng by his side now.

"Weiming, what are you thinking?" Huangfu Heng felt the turmoil in Huangfu Weiming's heart, stopped and asked with a smile.

Huangfu Weiming was shocked, he just had the bloodline theory in his mind and immediately disappeared without a trace, Huangfu Heng's powerful momentum under one person and above ten thousand people made Huangfu Weiming feel extremely small, he scolded himself secretly, still thinking about that matter, is he impatient?

He immediately said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, my subordinates are thinking about tomorrow's imperial examination, and I am a little uncertain in my heart. ”

Huangfu Heng nodded, and Huangfu Weiming could only think about it, so he smiled and said, "I came today just to talk to you about the imperial examination and give you a reassuring pill." ”

He continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, but Ming followed him silently, at this time he really put his father's affairs aside, and his heart was full of longing for the reassurance pill that the prince had said.

"This afternoon, I went to see my father, talking about the imperial examination, my father asked me if there were any great talents among the scholars who participated in the imperial examination, of course there were great talents, like Zhao Bolun, Ma Yingchu and others, but I only recommended you, do I know how I evaluate you to my father?"

Wei Ming had a sense of flattery, the prince actually mentioned himself in front of the emperor, he was extremely moved in his heart, and said slowly: "I want to listen to His Highness." ”

Huangfu Heng smiled, and I said to my father, "Zhao Bolun, Ma Yingchu and others can only listen to them talk about learning, and it may be possible to be a Hanlin worship, but if you want them to govern the country, I am afraid that they will make a mess of even a small county, and Huangfu Weiming may not be able to compare with them in terms of knowledge, but he is a practical talent, and he can be a county commander and a county guard now, and he can be the prime minister in the future." ”

Huang Fuheng's words moved Wei Ming greatly, and he immediately knelt down and choked up: "Your Highness's kindness is remembered by your subordinates. ”

Huangfu Heng hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "You don't always kneel, you have to learn from your brother Wujin, at this point, his legs are much harder than yours." ”

Wei Ming was a little silent, and only said after a while: "He is no longer my brother." ”

Of course, Huang Fuheng knew that it was he who sent someone to tell Wei Ming about this, he walked a few steps, and suddenly asked: "Wei Ming, you tell me the truth, is Wu Jin really the queen of King Liang?" ”

He seemed to have a smile on his face, with expectation in his eyes, he believed that Weiming knew the truth, and even more believed that Weiming would not deceive himself at this time.

But Huang Fuheng never dreamed that behind King Liang, there were even more terrifying secrets hidden, but Ming did not answer immediately, if this matter did not involve his own secrets, then he would definitely tell the truth in order to repay the prince's kindness, but if he told the truth, then he would be in danger of dying in the future, no matter what, he didn't dare to say.

After being silent for a while, he finally sighed, "I understand what His Highness means, I really want to repay His Highness for his kindness to me, but I can only tell the truth to His Highness, my father once told me before he died that Wujin was not his biological flesh and blood, his life experience was related to the royal family, but my father didn't have time to tell me the details, and he unfortunately died, for so many years, this has been my secret, and I didn't even tell him Wujin." ”

Huang Fu Heng's face swelled with infinite disappointment, he knew that Wei Ming would not deceive himself, it seemed that Wu Jin was really the King of Liang, he smiled bitterly and said: "Then you can't imagine that he will be the Queen of Liang!" ”

Wei Ming nodded, "I just know that his true identity is the royal family, but I never thought that he would be the queen of King Liang." ”

"And how do you feel about the news?" Huangfu Heng asked with a smile.

Wei Ming hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I don't dare to hide it from Your Highness, to be honest, I'm very jealous, why is it him, not me?" ”

Huang Fuheng is very satisfied, Wei Ming answered very honestly, this is what people often ask, he doesn't want Wei Ming to say how to work for him in the future, he values Wei Ming's loyalty to him more, from the details of Wei Ming's answer, it can be seen that he is indeed loyal to himself, very good!

Huang Fuheng patted him on the shoulder, "Have a good rest tonight, strive for the top ten on the gold list, and I will give you a surprise then." ”

After saying that, he smiled, turned around and left the Hongwen Pavilion under the escort of several guards.

Wei Ming looked at the back of the prince in the distance, he suddenly knelt down, in the clear moonlight, he said aloud to the back of the prince: "My emperor Fu Weiming swears to the sky here, will be loyal to His Royal Highness the prince, if you bear this word, the sky will not tolerate it." ”

As soon as he knelt, he completely severed the brotherly bloodline between him and Wujin, he was no longer after Emperor Jin'an, just an ordinary scholar who was willing to serve the grandson of Emperor Shengzong.

And this day was the first day of the ninth month, forty years ago on the first day of the ninth month, the Jin'an Rebellion broke out.

At the same moment, in a secret room in the palace of the king of Lanling County, under the gaze of the king of Lanling County, Zen Master Huiming, and Lao Jiangyan of Shuangwei Pavilion, Wu Jin also knelt down and bowed to the two spirit cards on the table.
