"It seems that this time, the emperor is very satisfied with Cheng Weizhe, Gu Shiqi and Mo Junting." Knowing the results of the palace examination, Lianzhi was not surprised.

Wen Zhiyu nodded: "Actually, the test of my father is not over, the same official position, it depends on who can come out first in the end." ”

"I heard Gu Shiqi mention the process of Wei Zhe before, and last time, Cheng Weizhe had the courage to protect the whole journey in front of the emperor, which proved that this person is not simple. It's just that this third place is still a little surprising, this Mo Junting is really a blockbuster. ”

"Everyone thought that the Mo family would fall, but they didn't expect a Tanhualang to come out."

"It's really not easy to get to where you are today, and this Mo Junting is not a simple character." Lianzhi didn't have any impression of Mo Junting.

Wen Zhiyan replied: "But this time Wen Zhiyan is a blood loss. ”

"None of the people he picked were among the top three, so I'm afraid he would be angry."

"These things can't be forced." Lianzhi didn't comment much, "By the way, I remember that after the results of the Spring Festival came out, it was the Guangchu Festival, right?" ”

The Guangchu Festival, like the Buddha's Advent Festival, is a triennial festival in Western Chu.

Spring is held once every three years, after the first three lists come out, it is the Guangchu Festival, when the Chu Emperor will take the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua three people to the city tower, saying that it is to have fun with the people, in fact, it is to show the future pillars of the people of Western Chu.

However, the most ironic thing is that this Guangchu Festival may be the most beautiful time in the life of the top three candidates in the past.

The officialdom of Western Chu has never been very clean, and the power in the DPRK and China will always be those hairpin families.

New to officialdom, if they do not take refuge in a certain family, they will be suppressed, and they will never come out; But if you choose to take refuge, you can only be controlled by others for the rest of your life.

Therefore, for the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua over the years, the most glorious and glorious time is to accompany the Chu Emperor to climb the city tower on the Guangchu Festival, overlook Chu Jing, and accept the admiration of all the people.

With the end of the Guangchu Festival, they also have to start choosing their own officialdom path, and the beginning of the next Guangchu Festival also means that the previous group of people has little value.

"My father has been preparing for the Guangchu Festival a long time ago, and the Guangchu Festival is still quite lively, but I am the crown prince, you are the crown princess, and the future of the country, so you and I need to climb the city tower with my father when the time comes."

"Did you go before?"

"When I was a baby, I already participated in the Guangchu Festival, after all, I was born as a prince, the prince of Western Chu, and the future of Western Chu." When Wen Zhiyu said these words, he was full of irony, "Everyone knows that the top three were personally selected after the Emperor's Palace examination, which is the most fair." Over the years, there have also been many children from poor families, and many people really regard Chunqiu as the only chance in this life. ”

Lian Zhi took Wen Zhiyu's words: "In fact, people who have no power and no power, even if they really have this glory, they can't keep it." You've seen a lot of champions, and you've had a down-and-out ending, right? ”

"That's right, my father knows these things, but he can't change them." Wen Zhiyu sighed, "How many children of the family can really care?" Especially the descendants of those hairpin families, inheriting the official position is already an old practice, and naturally they will no longer bother to read any books. ”

"Anyway, Cheng Weizhe is the son of the Cheng family, Mo Junting is the son of the Mo family, and Gu Shiqi has you and me behind him, this time it should be different, right?" Lianzhi asked.

Wen Zhiyu's eyes showed a determined look: "This time must be different, if things are allowed to develop like this, there will be no one available in Xichu sooner or later." ”

"In fact, having a prince like you in Xichu is the real blessing of Xichu." Lotus stops opening.

Wen Zhiyu looked at Lianzhi as if he didn't understand, and Lianzhi explained: "You have an innate sense of mission for Xichu. ”

But such a person with an innate sense of mission for Xi Chu chose her between Xi Chu and her, and his status in Wen Zhiyu's heart far exceeded the existence of Xi Chu!

Wen Zhiyu stretched out his hand and rubbed Lianzhi's hair: "Then I also have a sense of mission for you." ”

Protecting Lianzhi and accompanying Lianzhi may not be Wen Zhiyu's innate consciousness, but this consciousness came from behind and surpassed the mission he had been carrying on his body.

Luckily, Lianzhi is willing to take on this mission with him!

On this side, Wen Zhiyan really did as Wen Zhiyan expected, he spent a lot of effort to train those candidates, but he didn't expect that the last one was unsuccessful.

And the most angry thing about him, the champion turned out to be Cheng Weizhe.

At the beginning, in order to protect the Qi family, he abandoned the Cheng family, causing the Cheng family to break with him. Unexpectedly, time has passed, and the Cheng family has produced a champion, and the scenery is infinite.

On the other hand, because of Qi Zhaoyu's jealousy, he first lost his child, and then lost his beloved.

All this is really fate!

Shu Bai watched from the side and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what should we do now?" ”

Wen Zhiyan slapped the table: "What else can I do, the last Feng'an matter, although it was Wen Zhiyu who dealt with it, but my father also took advantage of this matter to pull out a lot of the king's eyeliner in the court." Now is the time when no one is available, and there is no one in the top three this time, what do you say? ”

"Your Highness, in fact, the Luo family is not a useless person."

"Grandfather is worried about the fact that the queen mother was grounded in the Weiyang Palace, and he is even more suspicious of the king's refusal to intercede for the queen mother. The more Wen Zhiyan thought about it, the more he felt that his decision to break away from the Luo family was correct, "The Luo family always cares about the queen, and they don't care about the king at all." In the past, no matter what the king wanted to do, he had to go through the permission of the queen mother, and the king was a man of flesh and blood, not a marionette in their hands. ”

"The old lady and the old lady felt a bias in the hearts of the queen mother at that time, and the two old men had more than enough heart but not enough strength for this matter."

"Shu Bai, listening to what you mean, you also think that this king is ruthless, and he refuses to save even his own mother?" Wen Zhiyan asked rhetorically.

Shu Bai analyzed: "Your Highness, your subordinates know why you are angry, it is nothing more than because of Miss Lingyu. Indeed, if it weren't for the queen's mother, the girl would not have died, but now that the girl is dead, the living still have to move forward. It's understandable that you want to avenge your subordinates, but why bother yourself? ”

Wen Zhiyan's hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist, and if it continued like this, it would only make the Luo family separate from him. But things have come to this point because Luo Xuanran can't tolerate people, if she is a little more tolerant of Ling Xuan, there will be no such result.

Shu Bai saw that Wen Zhiyan's attitude was showing signs of loosening, and continued: "Your Highness, how can mother and son have an overnight feud, as long as you are willing to go to see the queen mother, the queen mother will not take these things to heart." ”

"In fact, the person who really can't let go is this king."

"Your Highness, you were able to tolerate everything before." Shu Bai said, "The queen mother is very important to you, the emperor was angry and locked the mother in Weiyang Palace, and now the situation in the harem is changing rapidly, if the mother can't come out again, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Wen Zhiyan nodded after all: "The queen mother will find a way to deal with it, but there is no particularly good time at the moment." After the Guangchu Festival, it is the Buddha's Festival, and perhaps the Buddha's Festival can be used to let the father and the emperor release the queen mother. ”

Wen Zhiyan said this, paused for a moment, and felt that it was still unsafe: "You send news to the Luo family to create some sense of urgency for your father, and this king will mention this matter again when the time comes, and the queen mother should be able to come out." ”

"I'm afraid that the queen mother will come out, and the power of this harem is still in the hands of Concubine Shugui." Shubai was worried.

Wen Zhiyan didn't take this matter to heart: "The matter of the harem is something that the queen mother needs to consider, if she is incompetent, even if she never comes out of the Yang Palace, it is useless." ”

"Your Royal Highness, among the top three this year, Gu Shiqi and the prince's side are close, and the Cheng family is now a little contradictory to you, so only Mo Junting is left who can take it for his own use." Shu Bai asked, "Your Highness, do you need to make arrangements?" ”

Wen Zhiyan thought for a while: "Don't use it first, he is a concubine in the end, if the Cheng family is really powerless, let's take a look at Mo Junting." ”

"Your Highness, what do you mean ......"

Wen Zhiyan smiled: "Cheng Manqing's thoughts, this king has long known, maybe through Cheng Manqing, he can still save the Cheng family." ”

"Your Highness still values Cheng Weizhe more?"

"The son-in-law is always more useful than the concubine, just like Wen Zhiyu occupies the position of the son-in-law, then the position of the prince is justified."

"Your Highness, now the queen is your mother, and you are also your son-in-law."

"So what? After all, isn't it still a continuation of the string, otherwise why can't this king become the crown prince? ”

Shu Bai didn't dare to answer this question, Wen Zhiyan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, let's pass the Guangchu Festival first." ”

"Yes." Shu Bai replied in a deep voice.
