Chapter 208: Cast the Net
Chapter 208: Cast the Net
On the third day after the opening of the examination, the candidates who struggled to the last moment finally poured out of the Gongyuan with reluctance or impatience, and ate leftovers for a few days in the Gongyuan, and the first thing out of the Gongyuan was naturally to have a full meal and then do what he thought, and all of a sudden, the restaurants, taverns and hotels in the capital that had been empty for three days were full again, and the scholars who were interested in discussing the examination questions could be seen everywhere on the streets, and many hotels outside the hotel had become a gathering place for hawkers who sold steamed buns, roasted sweet potatoes, pumpkin pies and other foods.
At the beginning of tomorrow, these candidates who have just left the Gongyuan must return to the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy, and spend three days eating, drinking, and sleeping in that independent small room.
The invigilators who took turns day and night also left the Tribute Academy, waiting for them was the banquet of their bosses and colleagues, although the invigilation of the Tribute Academy was a chore, but this was also an opportunity for many people to fight for after squeezing their heads, thinking that their names would inevitably go down in history in the future, thinking that they would be able to become famous in the literary world in the future, and the invigilators who entered the palace to the banquet were all overjoyed.
Before they left, the examination papers had been sealed and handed over to the three cabinet markers of the Hanlin Academy, who had entered the Gongyuan and began to read the papers.
Everyone knew that the emperor did not want the prince to get involved in the military power, but he never asked about his collusion with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The emperor is cultivating the crown prince as the future king of Oga, but he does not want to raise an heir who can threaten his position before he abdicates.
The emperor is giving the crown prince a chance, which can also be said to be a test.
Ning Zhiyuan watched these examination papers be handed over to the chief examiner, as an examiner, these are the procedures he needs to confirm that they are correct, the people who read the papers are the people of the Cabinet Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy, most of them are upright and respectable old men and energetic young courtiers who want to serve Dahe, his people are among them, King Chao's people are among them, and the prince's people are also among them.
If the snake does not come out of the hole, it can only smash the yellow dragon and force the snake out of the hole.
A large net has been spread, just waiting for the largest fish to burrow into it.
After confirming that there was no mistake, Ning Zhiyuan left the Gongyuan with the cabinet Jinyiwei and his party, and after Jinyiwei commanded Zhu Ge to leave with people, he left the cabinet and returned to the Rui Wangfu.
Yesterday, the queen's mother and son stabbed him in the back, and he already knew the conversation with the emperor after often flowing into the palace, and he already knew what happened to Zhu Ge going to Zhuangtian yesterday, when she was able to jump off the city tower and escape from the capital on the wedding day, today she will pretend to be sick and refuse to face the saint, of course he is not surprised, but after Zhu Ge left, there was no movement in the palace, he knew the emperor's attitude towards her, knew the emperor's trust in Zhu Ge, and he knew that his time was urgent.
There are still six days left for the exam, and it will be at least ten days after the completion of the examination, and during this time, he must not make the slightest mistake.
But now, there have been mistakes in the Rui Wangfu that he can't tolerate. Since Mr. Du left, the Rui Wangfu was cleaned by him once, confirming that the Rui Wangfu would no longer have other people's eyes.
Changliu's illness, he confirmed that there would be no fourth person who knew about it except for himself, how did Ning Chaoge know? Du Yiyi is not stupid enough to be so stupid, and Chang Liu will not create this unnecessary trouble, in the Rui Wang Mansion, which he thinks is the most reassuring, there is still a pair of eyes hidden in Ning Chaoge, but he doesn't know it.
At this time, it was the time for him to cooperate with Ning Chaoge, the previous Ning Chaoge and the prince stood on the front line to hide people's eyes, but this time Ning Chaoge was willing to take the risk of his anger and said those words in front of the emperor, what information was there in this that he did not grasp?
"My illness can last for three or four years, if I can't cure you for three or four years, I will have no face to live in this world anymore, the emperor will find my successor in these three years, don't worry, I said that if you can live to be forty years old, you will definitely be able to live to be forty years old!"
In Changliu Courtyard, Changliu is pounding medicine, which he took from the imperial hospital after entering the palace yesterday, and his sick emperor has ordered him to seal his mouth, and in the next three or four years, he can only stay in this courtyard and treat Ning Zhiyuan wholeheartedly.
Sincere and firm words, Ning Zhiyuan did not have the slightest joy, the meaning of Changliu to him is not as simple as the doctor-patient relationship, he is his life-saving benefactor, he is his life charm, he is the first person to give everything for him and even his life, they are friends and confidants, and now the iron ring of death has been tightly locked around the necks of the two of them, so how can he not be heavy.
"Chang Liu, you don't say it, but I understand that I owe you all my life."
"Save that until I die! It took me a lot of thought to try this recipe this time, but I hope it will work! Chang Liu looked down at the medicine residue on the pestle, and continued to repeat a single action.
"I've tried it hundreds of times, and it's really damaging to your reputation as a miracle doctor!" Ning Zhiyuan wrinkled his nose and swallowed the sourness in his throat.
Chang Liu smiled bitterly; "If I hadn't met you, a bad star, I would have been able to go down in history and become a miracle doctor like Bian Que Hua Tuo, hey! It's good now, maybe if I'm dead, I'll end up with the name of a quack! ”
"Don't worry, you will be the best miracle doctor in my Dahe, you will definitely be famous in history, and you will definitely be as famous as Hua Tuo."
This is encouragement and comfort, and it is also his promise, he understands very well that how can he get tuberculosis with Chang Liu's medical skills, everything is just for him, except for his mother who is willing to die for him, Chang Liu is the second.
Chang Liu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, stopping this heavy topic with silence.
"Who else knows about your disease?"
The rhythm of dong dong stopped suddenly, and Chang Liu glanced up at Ning Zhiyuan. "You and I, Princess."
"Have you ever wondered who revealed the news of your illness to the second child?"
Chang Liu shook his head and said with a light smile: "I, Chang Liu, am not a great character, who will be full and have nothing to do to say this!" ”
"It's a small thing for you, but it's a big deal for me, if I can't find a second constant, I will designate that there is no hope of recovery, and the marriage with Ning Yi can't be delayed any longer, Yiyi still doesn't want to come back, hey............ If you hadn't spoken for Yiyi yesterday, you might not know what the situation would be now! ”
"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, haven't you already made up your mind? If you really don't want to marry, what else can the emperor do with you? After all, it's still you! Chang Liu joked with a smile.
"When the war in Suzhou is over, this matter should come to an end, it's okay for you to be idle anyway, go to Zhuangtian for a walk, you are sick, or more activities!"
Ning Zhiyuan stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of medicine that had been ground into powder, watched the medicine powder flow down between his fingers until there was no more left, and grabbed a handful, his palm clenched, but there was still medicine powder slipping out of his fingers, and then opened his palm, the ball of medicine powder had been held into a ball, and the current situation was a spider web, and his arbitrary step might affect the structure of this web, he couldn't make a mess of these lines because of this marriage, he needed to find a correct way between this Qianmo Avenue and the size path.
The medicine powder that can't be held may slip away at any time, is this the result between him and Du Yiyi?
"Where do I need more activities, obviously you need me to go to Zhuangtian for activities!"
"Those who know me still flow to you!"
………………………………
Everything began to circulate again in the early morning of the next day, only this time Shen Ke did not go out of the city to visit the sick again.
When the candidates entered the Tribute Academy, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard was closed, Ning Zhiyuan went to inspect the examination, and Du Yiyi watched the rain outside Zhuangtian.
The remaining six days will only be such a cycle, under the suppression of several forces, the strange atmosphere in the capital gradually condensed, and the turbulent court began to immerse, that is, the battle reports in front began to decrease.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the busy tenants outside the farmland, and the fields covered with grass and moss began to change color under their labor, and the water drawn from the irrigation river poured into the fields, and when the seedlings were grown, the paddy fields of different shapes would be green again.
The day before yesterday, Du Yiyi pretended to be sick, but fortunately, the emperor did not get angry at this critical time when Chang Liu spoke for her, and the imperial doctor who said that he wanted to observe and observe also stayed, Du Yiyi lived the life of the original two months, and could only sleep on the bed every day, and there were still Xu's mother and others watching the imperial doctor, plus the identity was different, the imperial doctor could not observe her all day long, and when the imperial doctor was drunk by Xu's mother, she could also move in the house.
Zhuang Tian is clean, and no one will come to visit her now, a few days have been long and comfortable for her, under the inquiry of the omnipotent Xu's mother, the news continues to reach her ears, the army of Suzhou is slowly regaining its advantage, and the battle report sent to the capital finally has no shocking casualties, and the military capital of the Governor's Mansion commanded Xi Zhengai to fall into a coma because he was poisoned by Tubo, although he did not wake up, but at least the poison has stopped on the way back to the capital, Yang Yi has already appeared in Tubo, The latest news is that the Tubo army has seriously injured a Dahe woman who delivered the news to Yang Yi, Yang Yi has fled to the desert with the seriously injured Dahe woman, and Tubo is being arrested.
