Chapter 291: The Unlucky Ghost Who Cheating
Liu Yu launched the money back at the right time, just to wake up Su Yan, the old emperor did have the intention of passing the throne to the king of Chu.
I can't do without you!
What Qian Hui said, if Su Yan believed that the usurper Liu Yue was the backing to maintain the legitimacy of his throne; If Su Yan didn't believe it, then he should also understand that the old emperor put him on the throne not because of his high ability, but because of his master-apprentice relationship with Liu Yu.
Su Yan felt that he was mature and could put aside Liu Yu to control the overall situation, just such a thing made him realize that without Liu Yu as a master, it would be difficult for him to stand on the dragon chair in the palace, and he had to learn to rely on Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's goal has been achieved, and he will not reproduce the posture of enterprising the court, which makes Su Yan feel that he has no intention of the government and the throne, so as to make him and those courtiers feel at ease.
Liu Yu returned home, and Su Yan also returned to his previous demeanor and no longer be his sluggish king. In handling government affairs, he was more diligent and self-denying, in order to gain the approval of Liu Yu and the courtiers.
On April 15, the day of the opening of the imperial examination, Liu Yu, as the chief examiner, did not go to the examination room to supervise, but went outside the city to welcome a group of people into the city, it was Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu.
The two had just been ordered to be transferred back from Huainan, and Liu Yue was originally going to let the two go to the border pass to take over the border army, but because the imperial army set out to fight a decisive battle with the Turks, Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu returned to Chang'an this time in addition to taking a vacation to visit relatives, and they could only train new soldiers in military affairs, which was equivalent to being idle.
"The subordinates of Dingguo Hou have heard about it on the front line." Qi Fang said tentatively, "I don't know ...... Sister Ling"
Liu Yu smiled and patted Qi Fang's shoulder and said, "Brother Qi, what are you doing with me so politely?" It's all about being a family. My sister and nephew were left in Chang'an by my father, and my father accepted your marriage. β
Qi Fang's worries along the way finally disappeared. What he was most worried about was that the Marquis of Dingguo was angry with Liu Yu. and then anger against him. Their marriage is going to be ruined again. Hearing Liu Yu say this, Qi Fang had a smile on his face, and he talked more.
Zhang Wuzhu scolded: "General Liu, you don't know what to say, he has been talking about Miss Liu many times along the way, and I have calluses in my ears when I listen to it." Miss Liu in the east, Miss Liu in the west...... Now he is happy, and the cup of happy wine that he looks back can't miss me. β
Qi Fang smiled: "Definitely." Certain. β
Because Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, moved back to his hometown in a hurry, he only agreed to this marriage, and did not explain the marriage date and situation, and now Liu Yu, as the head of the Liu family, needs to arrange everything for the marriage of his sister Liu Jue and Qi Fang, including all aspects of the three books and six ceremonies. It is easy to do things with silver, and he doesn't have to worry about many details.
"The emperor has given you a new mansion, so I will take you over to have a look, and in the future, when Brother Qi becomes my brother-in-law, I will often come to the door to disturb."
Qi Fang smiled and should be. But he wanted to meet his elderly mother and his worried dreamer.
However, Liu Yu took him to the emperor's newly given mansion and fulfilled his two wishes at once. His mother has moved from her home outside the city, and Liu Jue can also come over from time to time to take care of An Ren because she is not tied by the rules and regulations of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion.
Zhang Wuzhu had already gone back to his mansion to see his family, Liu Yu came over just to join in the fun, and by the way, he discussed the details of the wedding with Qi Fang's mother, and saw the scene of the mother and son reuniting with their mother and son, which made him feel a little touched. Until Qi Fang came back from worshipping his mother in the main hall, Liu Yu asked him to whisper something to Liu Jue, and before they got married, the two would not meet again.
Liu Yu was waiting at the door bored, and a guard hurriedly came to see Liu Yu and reported: "Master Hou, catch a cheater." β
"Cheating? What to cheat? β
The guard reminded: "It was the one who cheated in the field, and several examiners put people in custody and waited for your instructions." β
Liu Yu then remembered that today there is still the whole Chang'an City, which is the imperial examination that the whole Shun Dynasty is watching, is waiting for him to pass, to say that his knowledge is not high, and he has to go through the motions for questions and invigilation, so he has been taking the exam for several days, and he does not plan to stay at the academy, so there is a mess in the morning. But fortunately, there is only one fraud.
"Wait, General Ben will be over in a moment."
Liu Yue went in and talked to Qi Fang, Qi Fang wished that Liu Yue would leave early, and he could get closer to Liu Jue. Liu Yu came out of Qi's house and took the guards to the academy, because there was an exam going on here, and the academy was heavily guarded inside and outside. Walking to the main hall of the academy, a young scholar was shouting that he had not cheated.
"Marquis Wuyi, you're here."
The officials in charge of this imperial examination, except for Liu Yu's nominal father-in-law Li Yannian, all the others greeted him.
Li Yannian has been at odds with Liu Yu because of Liu Yu's "abduction" of his daughter. He even went to the government to report that Liu Yu had abducted a girl from a good family, but because he was involved in a first-class military general in the DPRK and China, Li Yannian could not come up with real evidence, and the matter was closed.
"What's going on?" Liu Yu pointed to the arrogant young man.
"That's right." Wang Hu came over and said, "We found this on him, you see." β
Liu Yu saw that Wang Hu handed over a piece of paper that was full of folds, and couldn't help but smile, this was a cheat sheet, which was a clumsy cheating. Liu Yu opened the paper and saw that what was written on it was actually a persuasion article, and there were not many words, so it was a bit absurd to say that he was cheating with this.
"What's your name?"
Liu Yu walked over and looked at the scholar with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and knelt on the ground and could feel that he was not small, that is, he was as skinny as a bamboo pole poked on the ground.
"The student's surname is Song Mingkan, and the word is Xiao'an. This official master, you are commenting, the student is really not cheating, the student is just using the above content to motivate himself, I don't believe you use the above text on the student's test paper...... No, it's a sentence. β
Yi Chengjian, a scholar of Chinese culture, stepped forward and scolded: "You are not allowed to hide it privately in the examination room, no one has explained to you before you came?" β
"This can't be counted as entrainment!" Song Kan quibbled.
Liu Yue was upset when he heard this, he didn't want to come to the academy to face the group of scholars, and he also wanted to go back as soon as possible to implement his sister's marriage.
Liu Yu looked at Yi Chengjian. Impatiently asked, "Master Yi." According to the law of the Great Shun Dynasty. What is the heaviest sentence for fraud in the field? β
Yi Chengjian was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, and when Song Kan heard that he was going to be sentenced, the quibble was louder. Liu Yu said angrily: "If you don't repent of death, then pull it out and cut it!" β
Liu Yu is not a scholar after all, he is not as good at talking as a literati, and the accompanying guards have already gone up to drag people. was about to pull Song Kan out of the Lu to cut off his head, but Song Kan didn't have the arrogance of a scholar at this time, and began to beg for mercy loudly: "Master Guan, you are gracious, the student will never dare in the future!" β
"Stop quibbling?"
"The student is stupid and ignorant, it is the student's fault, please spare the student's life."
Liu Yu coughed and said, "Then pull it to the gate of the academy, beat twenty sticks, and drive it out of the academy." β
Song Kan's face turned white when he heard this, Liu Yu's punishment was tantamount to depriving him of the opportunity to take the exam again, which was really worse than killing him. Twenty sticks can't kill anyone. He is such a weak scholar who has to recuperate for at least half a month.
Immediately afterward, the terrible shouts echoed everywhere in the academy, and the scholars of the exam listened to it with horror. However, harmony is also the role of killing a hundred people. When Liu Yu went out and returned home, he threw a tael of silver to a guard and asked him to show it to Song Kan to see a doctor.
Liu Yu really didn't want to put a weak scholar to death.
Liu Yu wanted to go back and finish the unfinished business, but he didn't expect Qi Fang to get his mother's approval and personally come to propose to the Liu family, and he had already arrived at the Qianfeng General's Mansion with a dowry. Liu Yu hurriedly went home, Qi Fang looked proud, Liu Yu walked over and asked, "My sister ......"
"Oh, Sister Ling has already gone home first."
Liu Yu nodded, now Liu Jue's mother and son are still living in the Dingguo Hou Mansion, but now the Dingguo Hou Mansion is deserted, and there is only a newly invited little maid to take care of their mother and son. Liu Yuxin said that the wedding date should be set closer, and let his sister and nephew move over earlier, and Liu Yu was also ready to sell the original mansion of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion and replace some fields for his sister as a dowry.
The mother died early, and the father didn't care, and the sister's dowry could only be prepared by Liu Yu.
Because Qi Fang was in a hurry, some simple steps were omitted, and since he had already come to the next job, there was nothing to avoid on both sides, so the wedding date was set on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, twenty days later. The time is not long or short, and it is enough time for both parties to prepare for the marriage. It could have been pressed for a few days, but Liu Yu was also about to marry Qi'er, and the two marriages were slightly staggered to facilitate Liu Yu's preparation.
After discussing the general details, Qi Fang's heart finally landed on a big stone, he and Liu Jue have known each other for a long time, and he didn't expect that one day the two would come together, and the twists and turns experienced during the period were not enough to be with outsiders.
Qi Fang has regarded Liu Yu as a family, and he is about to become the groom's official at this time, so he said with great interest: "Brother Liu Xian, how about you please drink for your brother?" β
Liu Yue hurriedly excused himself and said: "You are on official business, and you can't drink." After a while, I have to go to the examination room to supervise the candidates, with the smell of alcohol, and it will be very bad to be sued. β
"So, then say goodbye to my brother!" Qi Fang's three steps turned into two steps, and when Liu Yu thought of going to see off the guests, the people had already left the house.
Liu Yue said that he was going to supervise the exam, but in fact he didn't have that much spare time, and the examiner of the exam was supposed to supervise the examination room, review the test papers, and select scholars. These have nothing to do with Liu Yu, his main purpose as the examiner is to make a name, and he will be the protΓ©gΓ© of these days in the future.
Liu Yu was about to take a nap after lunch, the guards came to inform him to let him go out to see, Liu Yu went out, only to see two guards carrying a door panel, on which there was a person, more breath and less people were dying. It was the previous Song Magazine.
"What's going on?"
The guard said: "Master Hou, after this kid was beaten, his breath was not smooth, he spit blood, plus his body was injured, he showed it to the doctor, and he said that it was not easy to save, so he brought him back to Hou Ye for disposal." β
Liu Yu glanced at Song Kan again, and he didn't even have the strength to hum when he was lying on the door panel. People are also completely unconfident, like dead people.
Liu Yue couldn't bear it, didn't he kill him?
"The usual doctor can't see it well, so carry him and go to the palace to find a royal doctor."
"The Imperial Palace?" Song Kan's eyes suddenly widened, and his head was raised. The dead were suddenly resurrected.
"What, don't you want to go or don't dare to go?"
Song Kan said excitedly: "Go, if I can enter the palace, it will be worth dying!" (To be continued......)
