Chapter 243: Asking in front of the palace

With the release of this year's gold list and the scandal with King Wei, the word "Liu Chenxing" is already well-known.

When Julang recorded from the side, Rao should not bring his own joy and anger, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly at this time.

It is clear that he has been hung in the heart of the empress, an official from a poor family, but he has been promoted to an official from the seventh rank to the Beijing official in the first year, and he is still a close minister of the Son of Heaven such as a counselor, and it is not impossible to become a high-ranking official above the fifth rank before the age of forty, but he prefers to be careful......

sighed for Liu Wensu in his heart, and Julang wrote again and recorded it truthfully.

The smile on the empress's face faded, but she still called "Liu Qing" and said: "It turns out that Liu Chenxing, who is the first place in this year's provincial entrance examination, is your niece." She is now in prison for fraud in the imperial examination, and you are now giving up the power of admonition to Liu Chenxing, but you want to intercede for Liu Chenxing. ”

Although the words are questions, the tone is affirmative.

Liu Wensu grabbed the empress's address to herself, and was not afraid in her heart, and said: "Once the saint orders to add the palace test on top of the provincial test, after the palace test, his niece Liu Chenxing can clear his body of cheating suspicion, so Weichen is not interceding for Liu Chenxing, but telling the truth." ”

Seeing that Liu Wensu finished saying this without the slightest panic, the empress had a slight wait-and-see attitude in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she only said lightly "Oh": "You are so confident, Liu Chenxing will definitely be able to win the top spot again?" ”

Facing the empress's questioning, Liu Wensu smiled and said, "Weichen's niece, enlightened at the age of five, was taught by Weichen. Later, Weichen went to Chang'an to take the exam, although my uncle and nephew were separated for eight years, but during this period the correspondence never stopped, Liu Chenxing would write his daily academic performance and experience in Weichen every year. A year and a half ago, Liu Chenxing became Beizhou Xie Yuan, came to Chang'an to take the exam, and until the first month of this year, during the provincial examination, he has been taught by Weichen, and Weichen knows the bottom of Liu Chenxing. ”

In the end, Liu Wensu not only had a smile on his face, but also a gentle smile in his moist eyes.

The empress has read countless people, and she can see that Liu Wensu is showing her true feelings at the moment, she was slightly stunned, and said: "Liu Qing and her niece have a deep relationship. ”

Hearing this, Liu Wensu seemed to realize that he had revealed his private emotions in front of the emperor, he was busy with the look on his face, and wanted to confess, but after listening to what the empress said, he replied respectfully: "Liu Chenxing is the daughter of the eldest sister of Weichen, Weichen has lost his father since he was a child, thanks to the eldest sister who runs the family and enlightens Weichen, Weichen has the opportunity to study." Because of this, Weichen and the eldest sister's family have a deep relationship, and they also regard Liu Chenxing as their own. ”

Knowing that Liu Chenxing and Liu Wensu, the two uncles and nephews, had deep feelings and were not ordinary close relatives, the empress nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know Liu Qing's character and knowledge. Liu Chenxing was taught by Liu Qing, and it is not bad to think about it, it seems that there should be a misunderstanding in the case of fraud in the imperial examination this time, and now there are three divisions to try it, and Liu Chenxing should be able to return his innocence. ”

Liu Wensu didn't seem to expect the empress to say such a thing, he raised his head in surprise, and felt offended Long Yan, so he hurriedly lowered his head, tried his best to restrain himself, and saluted with his hands crossed: "Wechen has thanked the saint for his trust, and Wechen's niece will definitely not disappoint the saint." ”

Listening to Liu Wensu's gratitude, the empress shook her head and said with a smile: "How can you talk about believing in Liu Chenxing, you are happier than when I praised you." After a pause, he said as if jokingly: "You value Liu Chenxing so much, and you taught her single-handedly, and now she worships Jiang Mo as a teacher, you are really willing!" ”

Liu Wensu said: "Although Weichen is reluctant, he is even happier for her. ”

"Niece Liu Chenxing likes calligraphy, starting from copying Weichen's calligraphy at the age of five, and gets up early every day to practice calligraphy, regardless of the heat and winter, it has never stopped. In order to worship Jiang Gong as a teacher and continue to learn calligraphy, the niece did not hesitate to be a slave and a servant by Jiang Gong's side, Rao is niece is a peasant girl, but in the end it is a little lady who is less than fifteen years old, but she is willing to take a hoe to cultivate Jiang Gong's farmland, less than ten days, and then cultivate several acres of land by herself. ”

originally wanted to answer the empress's words, but probably due to the influence of the wind and rain in the city, the more Liu Wensu said, the more the topic was already biased.

The living man glanced at the empress and saw that the empress was listening attentively without any intention of interrupting, so he could only continue to record.

When Liu Wensu said this, a rare flash of anger flashed on Qingjun Sven's face, "It's annoying that Weichen's niece clearly impressed Jiang Gong with herself, but the world is so rumored!" People are terrible, how can they be to a woman!? ”

After saying it angrily, knowing that with the eyes of the empress, he must be able to see that he had the idea of fighting for Liu Chenxing, and Liu Wensu no longer seemed to know that he had revealed too much, he directly lifted his robe, knelt down and said: "The world is not easy for women, and it is even more difficult for Weichen's niece from a peasant girl to the imperial examination all the way to today. However, the world only saw her success, but did not see that she had put in ten times or even a hundred times the effort of ordinary people behind her. These gossips are just one of the mouths of the world, but they have ruined all the efforts of my niece. Weichen's niece clearly has nothing to do with King Wei, I don't know what the rumor-mongers are! ”

"Even rumored that his niece would become Beizhou Xie Yuan and Yongzhou Xie Yuan, which was the force behind the King of Wei, but King Wei was the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, and he was personally taught by the saint to grow up, how could he be so confused for a woman!? What's more, Weichen's niece was still a young daughter under the age of thirteen two years ago, how could King Wei look down on her? I also asked the sage to see clearly, don't fall into the villain's discord, hurt the relationship between the sage and the ancestors and grandchildren of the King of Wei, and also contribute to this kind of rumor-mongering. ”

You can't bother the saint with too much talk about your own private affairs, but fortunately, he is an admonition, and Liu Wensu said in the end, and ended with a remonstrance.

After listening to Liu Wensu's advice, the empress looked out of the hall.

As a woman, she knows that the world is not easy for women.

King Wei was taught by her own hands, and she knows better than anyone what kind of character a child is.

It's just that Jiang Mo accepted Liu Chenxing as an apprentice because Jiang Mo was loyal to the Shen royal family, so what did she ......

The empress shook her head secretly, what's the matter with her, is she old?

So I started to get suspicious.

No!

I am the empress of the ages, the first person in the world, I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and I am still the Gu clan who is not suspicious of the original use of people.

The empress's heart was shaken for a moment, and the next moment it was as solid as a rock, and her phoenix eyes were like the deep sea, bottomless, she looked at the palace maids waiting outside the hall and came to say: "Sage, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the Imperial History ask to see." ”

The empress asked Liu Wensu to get up and said, "Yes." ”

The palace maid acted according to her words, and after a while, the three chiefs came to see her, and asked the palace maid to present her testimony, and Zhang Boshan, the secretary of Dali Temple, said: "Liu Chenxing's case of fraud in the imperial examination has been investigated, and it is a false accusation by Wang Yushi. In addition, Liu Chenxing, a scholar in advance, proposed that in order to maintain the prestige of the imperial court and reassure the world, she was willing to take another policy test, and the ministers thought that this move was feasible. But the matter is important, and the saint is invited to decide. ”

The empress glanced at Liu Chenxing's request for a re-examination on the testimony, and then thought of Liu Wensu's words just now, she smiled with a smile in her phoenix eyes, and said: "Since the first place in the Jinshi Department this year and all of you Aiqing think that you should take the exam again, then take the exam again, and I will personally ask for advice in front of the palace." ”
