Chapter 20 The Township Test is Coming
"Why did Brother Gu say this? Could it be that the emperor can still protect him? Wang Yu asked puzzled.
"The emperor will not protect him, but someone will protect him, but it is possible to demote and punish him, and it is absolutely impossible to raid the house!" Gu Jin shook his head with a smile and said.
Who will protect the left name? Naturally, it is Prince Su, and when it comes to Prince Su, you have to mention the first emperor, and even mention the first emperor's father, Emperor Xuanwu.
The first emperor's name Longqing was the son of Liu Guiren when he was the first emperor, Liu Guiren died after giving birth to the first emperor, so the first emperor was taken away and raised by Empress Feng at that time.
Empress Feng is a powerful character, she tried her best to push the first emperor to the throne of the crown prince, and this Empress Feng is now over seventy years old and still alive.
At that time, the first emperor was not favored, but the Prince Su who came out of Concubine De was the most loved by Emperor Xuanwu, and Emperor Xuanwu even wanted to abolish the prince and set up Prince Su as the prince for a time, but at that time, Prince Su was young, and the ministers of the court were opposed, and Empress Feng cried and knelt down again, and finally put this mind to rest.
However, Emperor Xuanwu was afraid that Prince Su would be reprimanded by the new emperor after his death, so he gave the title of prince to this favorite son, and gave Prince Su the best fief and rewarded him with a large amount of silver, and even issued a special edict allowing Prince Su to raise private guards, and the court must not interfere with this.
After the death of Emperor Xuanwu, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, which was fine at first, but since the first emperor began to favor Xiao Guifei, Prince Su began to move.
Xiao Guifei has never had a child due to physical reasons, and the children born to other concubines in the harem will also die inexplicably, some people say that Xiao Guifei is immoral and jealous, and kills the dragon heir, but Gu Jin feels that Prince Su should not have done anything less in this matter, but who did it can't be verified.
The first emperor was seriously ill in the forty-fifth year, and the ministers of the court and the central government were also restless, and some people began to promote Prince Su as the emperor's younger brother, and many ministers also responded.
Everyone thought that the future emperor would be Prince Su, but at this time, the Empress Dowager suddenly led a fourteen-year-old boy to appear in front of everyone, and this young man was Chu Mo.
Chu Mo's biological mother was a palace maid in the palace, and she was accidentally conceived with a dragon after being fortunate by the emperor. The palace maid is also a smart person, she knows that if this matter is known, not only will the child not be protected, but her own life will also be explained, so she found an opportunity to secretly tell the empress dowager about her pregnancy, so that the empress dowager can shelter her.
The child was born, but the Empress Dowager did not publicize it, and the child was sent out of the palace and fostered in a small family due to various considerations.
For fear of leaking the news, the Empress Dowager did not send anyone to take care of her, so Chu Mo grew up in the market and mingled among the commoners, no one knew that this child was actually the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, and no one knew that this child would inherit the unification in the future.
Chu Mo's appearance was a heavy blow to Prince Su, just a few days after Chu Mo became the prince, Chu Mo's biological mother, that is, the palace maid back then, fell into the lotus pond and drowned, Chu Mo has not wanted to come over the years, Prince Su is deeply rooted in the court, and now Chu Mo is just a little emperor without roots, and his situation can be imagined.
These news were all heard by Gu Jin when he was traveling through the streets and alleys to see a doctor, although it was just a few words when he heard it, but it was made up by Gu Jin, and this story was quite exciting.
Gu Jin guessed that Zuo Ming was Prince Su's person, and it was because of this that Chu Mo would let Zuo Ming drill into it.
Prince Su will definitely work hard to catch Zuo Ming in order to protect his dog's legs, and the final ending is that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, not because Prince Su is strong Chu Mo does not dare to resist it, but because of 、、、
"Today's saint is a rare smart person, Zuo Ming is just a pawn, but the emperor has to deal with his master!" Gu Jin said with a smile.
Wang Yu's face was dazed, and he couldn't understand what Gu Jin said.
Wang Yu didn't understand, and Gu Jin didn't plan to explain anything, he would be taboo if he said too much.
Wang Yu is a very good learner and has a pure character, this kind of person is not suitable for any conspiracy, and it is very good to go to the Hanlin Academy to do editing in the future.
Gu Jin silently planned for Wang Yu in his heart.
"By the way, Brother Gu, you sent me a letter a few days ago, and I found out what you asked me to investigate!" Wang Yu saw that Gu Jin was stunned, so he pushed Gu Jin's arm and said.
"Oh? Is it? Tell me about it! Gu Jin's eyes lit up.
"Well, I asked dude, and it's exactly like you said、、、"
——————————————————
Gu Jin and Wang Yu chatted for an afternoon, Wang Yu's face was a little pale when he left, while Gu Jin seemed to be eating and drinking as if he was nothing, as if he was just chatting with Wang Yu this afternoon.
More than ten days have passed, the climate has changed rapidly, since the beginning of autumn two days ago, the weather has quickly changed from warm to cool, Gu Jin changed his summer thin shirt, and Liu Bao also replaced Gu Jin's cool quilt with a thick quilt.
The situation in the DPRK and China was as Gu Jin expected, Zuo Ming's matter was raised high, and then fell gently, Prince Su and his party clearly came out to stand for Zuo Ming, and in the end, Zuo Ming was only demoted by one level and punished for three years.
The situation in the court has stabilized, but there are more and more dissatisfaction remarks about Prince Su in Shizizhong, and what scholars hate the most is fraud in the scientific field, and Prince Su actually favors those who cheat, which represents Prince Su's disrespect for scholars.
This should be the effect of Chu Mo, as for these public opinions, it is very likely that Chu Mo will also stir up the troubles.
Gu Jin's determination to hug Chu Mo's thigh became even firmer, there is a way that is often found in Maxima and Bole is not often there, even if he is capable, he must meet the master to make a difference.
The eighth day of August is the day of the township examination, and there are three township examinations, each of which is one day, so candidates have to take the examination for three days in a row, and those who are in poor health will not be able to persist at all.
The examination room of the Zhongxiang test in the capital is in the Gongyuan in the southwest of the city, in order not to miss the hour, Gu Jin prepared all the things he needed the night before, in addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Gu Jin also specially hired a carriage, just after the curfew, the coachman waited outside the inn with the carriage.
Breakfast was made by Liu Bao himself for Gu Jin, and there were two poached eggs lying in the noodle soup with oil flowers, as if he was afraid that Gu Jin would not be full.
The noodles before the exam are called Dengke noodles in the capital, and the things to eat are two, which is called a good thing in pairs, today is Gu Xiucai's big day, although it is just a little food, but Liu Bao feels that he must also have a good fortune.
