Chapter 204: Examination
It is the spring planting season, the field everywhere can be seen oxen pulling the plough plough whip, because this spring came much earlier than usual, this year's spring planting is also a few days earlier than in previous years, only a few days, the paddy has grown a small seedlings, the rotten grass on the ridge of the field also drilled out of the green grass, a spring rain fell without warning, fell in the vigorous paddy field, fell on the ridge of spring, fell on the face of the ploughman with a withered face and happy eyebrows.
Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this year's spring planting, it seems that it will be a bumper harvest.
Standing under the white wall of the black eaves, Du Yiyi watched the woman holding an umbrella on the path and the cultivator meeting in a hurry as usual, and watched the wife put on a coat and hat for her husband, and unconsciously smiled.
I have seen a lot of intrigue and deceit, and I feel precious when I see such simple and true feelings.
Feelings, have nothing to do with money, have nothing to do with status, only have to do with sincerity, she thought she had met someone who was sincere to herself, thinking of forgetting the past and opening her arms to meet a seemingly beautiful future, but she didn't want to live and gave her a slap in the face, so that she could see how ridiculous this seemingly beautiful future was.
"Take good care of your body, I'm leaving!" Shen Ke, who had been standing with her for a long time, also saw the couple, and also saw the expectation in Du Yiyi's eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth, if he could, he really wanted to stand side by side with her like this, watching the spring rain and the green mountains, but he had been in Zhuangtian for a long time, and it was almost the same, compared to the personal affairs of his children, he still had more important things to do, and the family revenge had not been avenged, and he could not be happy for a day.
"General Shen." Du Yiyi has always insisted on calling him Shen Ke, and she has continued this title, that is because they can't and don't want to avoid their feelings, but now she wants to call him General Shen, he is Shen Ke, and he is General Shen, compared to Shen Ke, maybe he wants to be this General Shen more.
The surface of the umbrella painted with green bamboo trembled slightly, and a few drops of raindrops that fell in a regular straight line fell on Du Yiyi's cheeks.
"Where are you going on this road?"
Shen Ke's face changed slightly, the corners of his eyes tightened, although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew what she was going to say, although he was now more and more unable to see through the heart of this once innocent girl, but he could still use his years of understanding of her and his insight into the nuances of people to know where she was pointing.
He was a little happy that she could learn to hide her feelings in this muddy world, and he was also a little disappointed that she was complicated with him, because at the beginning, he had her innocence.
"The end."
He replied.
The green bamboo covering the umbrella surface seemed to come to life, trembling slightly in the wind in the rain.
"At the end is the mountains!"
She asked.
Her umbrella is full of red plums, pieces of red plums, like blood and bright red.
"Leveling the mountains is the end."
"What if it can't be smoothed?"
"The strength of a lifetime must be bulldozed!"
"You still have a sister-in-law, and you will have your children!"
"If you are not virtuous and unfair, how can you be a good father?"
"What if I stop you?"
"You won't!"
Patches of red plums, as thick as blood.
Oh, yes! She won't! With her strength, how can she stop Shen Ke, who is bent on moving forward and destitute all his life to bulldoze the mountains and avenge his family!
The trembling cuizhu left, the silver armor rubbed the sound of the golden iron horse, and the flying black appeared to be elegant and desolate, Shen Ke did not look back at the person behind him, because he didn't know how to face those two eyes, the end of this road was the Gongyuan, but the end of his life path was in the golden palace.
He can only keep walking forward, keep walking, until he finally realizes his life's wish, and then he can laugh and get drunk.
……………………
Nearly 3,000 candidates came from all directions, and there were two long queues lined up outside the mighty Tribute Academy, and the examinees were carrying boxes containing paper, ink, pens, inkstones, and steamed buns, waiting for the officers and soldiers to investigate.
There will be three trials, one for three days.
After the Tribute Courtyard closes today, it will reopen the day after tomorrow.
Now some of the old ministers in the court are fighting with the military generals for the matter of Suzhou, and the emperor seems to be interested in promoting these young courtiers who have the ability but have not made achievements under the control of the old ministers.
As the current Rui King of the Cabinet, Ning Zhiyuan could have won this opportunity, but the emperor took him out of the list of invigilators when he was not in good health and the invigilation was laborious work, and gave him the identity of an examiner.
Ten years of cold window no one knows, once the world is famous, more than 2,000 people have been preparing for countless days and nights for today, everyone is looking forward to their names can be written on the gold list, can one step into the court to glorify the ancestors.
There was irrepressible tension and joy on their faces, even when they saw the solemn old man standing in front of the vermilion gate of the Gongyuan, they felt extremely close, Sun Yushi stood in front of the door of the Gongyuan, looking at the hope of these candidates for the future, with a solemn expression.
Shen Ke came in a hurry, causing a lot of cheers in the crowd, but under Sun Yushi's two solemn gazes, this cheer quickly quieted down.
"My sister is sick, Shen is in a hurry to derelict her duties, and she is late!"
Walking in front of Sun Yushi, Shen Ke bowed slightly, and his chic posture attracted the people on both sides to become more and more enthusiastic.
"I have heard that General Shen and Princess Rui have a deep relationship between brothers and sisters, human nature, human nature!" Sun Yushi looked at the candidates, and his eyes as sharp as eagles and falcons saw that the scholars who were being checked by the soldiers were looking through the basket in their hands, and their hearts were full of color.
"Thank you, thank you!" Shen Ke took two steps to the side, holding his sword, looking at the two long dragons in front of him like a hunting dog or an eagle, and his cold eyes and serious expression made the people yearn for it.
To the last candidate to enter the Gongyuan for a total of a morning, then Sun Yushi and Shen Ke into the examination room, some soldiers immediately took the seal and pasted it on the Zhumen with rice milk, the army of the former military capital governor's mansion quickly surrounded the gate of the Gongyuan, and the onlookers were emptied and driven away and could only watch outside the cordon 100 meters away.
Each candidate received an examination paper, and began to grind the ink with the tea on the bookcase after taking a seat, and there was a partition between each candidate to separate each person into an independent small room, and there was a light gauze curtain to cover his figure, revealing only the hands that were grinding ink on the bookcase, and there was a column in each of these rows of individual small rooms, and in the middle of it there was a watchtower for the invigilator to look.
The 34th session of the Oga examination officially began after Sun Yushi rang the bronze bell on the watchtower.
An hour later, in the Ruiwang Mansion, Ning Zhiyuan sat in a sedan chair, bypassed a few streets and arrived at Yujie, entered the palace, and waited until Lu Yi'an, Yan and Liu Liuzhen were finally busy with the affairs at hand, and then began to go to Ning Yuan Palace together.
Ning Zhiyuan, who was grounded by the emperor for a period of time, stole a lazy one, the court set off storms for the affairs of Suzhou, and the cabinet that assisted the emperor in dealing with the government became the place with the largest workload, in order to take a leisurely daily stroll.
The war in Suzhou is tight, and the greatest pressure is actually the emperor, the prince's worries are fake, but the emperor's worries are too real to be true, the rich ambergris fragrance of Ningyuan Palace has been replaced by the smell of medicinal food in the past two days, and the emperor who has the most headache to take medicine has complained countless times about the suffering of medicine.
"Go, Dahe's future is tied to these people, your cabinet is responsible for the inspection must be more diligent, Zhiyuan, when you are fine, go to see more, three times a day you have to go!" The emperor held the medicine bowl in his hand, and brought the medicine bowl to his mouth again and again, widening the distance.
"Yes!" Cabinet officials, big and small, should bow down.
"Fortunately, a few of you have stopped me these days, otherwise that snowflake-like fold would not have made me angry! Unless there will be a war report from Suzhou, the excerpts about the war in Suzhou should be intercepted, Zhu Ge, you also follow them. ”
The emperor wrinkled his brows, took a sip of the thick black medicinal juice in his breath, and was so bitter that he immediately snatched the candied fruit from Concubine De's hand and put it in his mouth.
"Yes!"
Zhu Ge bowed respectfully.
"Then go ahead!" Looking at the bowl full of medicinal juice that was still rippling in his hand, the emperor's two thick eyebrows wrinkled more and more tightly. Concubine De smiled and stuffed a candied date into the emperor's mouth, and persuaded like a child.
Ning Zhiyuan watched this scene, and then the cabinet and the Zhu Pavilion withdrew from Ning Yuan Palace and began to walk towards the Tribute Courtyard.
Wu can set the country, Wen can Anbang, from the landlord to overthrow the imperial regime of the founding of the Holy Ancestor will always be impartial and reused, to the later Dahe country and the state of stability of the emperor has a close reuse of the state of the minister, but in the hands of the emperor, was suppressed and neglected for a while of the military general has been reused again, the former military general for the big family to throw their heads and spill blood, after the civil minister in the selection of the mainstay for the big he, although the big family court disputes, but if it comes to national affairs, the big bureaucracy can definitely abandon political views and unity, Never do treason.
In the 100-year history of Oga, there have been traitors, ministers, and corrupt officials, but there have never been traitorous officials and ministers.
As a member of the royal family of Dahe, as the emperor's most beloved son, Ning Zhiyuan is also struggling. If Shen Ke is out of the cage of Dahe, what kind of harm will it bring to Dahe? In front of the state and the individual, he is very selfish and chooses the individual, out of sight is pure, so he has not reported to the cabinet these days, because he does not want to see the impassioned complicity of those ministers who are not in line with political views for the sake of Oga, so that he will only see his own despicability.
