Chapter 103: Just to Win a Hearted Man
Quan Yirou and others were waiting beside him, and when they heard the Queen Mother's anger, Yan Qing and Murong Shuang's eyes trembled, but Zhen Yurong sat on the side and remained silent.
Quan Yirou watched Feng Lingye meet the emperor with bitter meat tricks that day, so the policy of this Xia Dali family may be related to Feng Lingye.
"This Xia people were leveled by my Dali, and if they become kings and lose their crimes, they should be slaves and slaves for generations, and they still want to turn over and be their masters, it's really ridiculous." Kwon Yirou was the first to make her stand out.
When the Queen Mother heard this, her anger did not subside, "Xia people must not enter the court as officials!" ”
"I have a guess, if it's not right, the Queen Mother will listen to it as a joke," Quan Yirou's voice turned low, and she made a new cup of hot tea for the Queen Mother, "I privately think that this may be a ploy by Yi Guiren, so as to pave the way for her to become the queen in the future." ”
As soon as the Queen Mother took the teacup, when she heard her words, her hand trembled, and the tea almost spilled out.
"Queen Mother......" Mama Lin saw it, quickly took the teacup from her hand, and put it firmly on the table.
The queen was slightly pale, she only knew that this matter was too ridiculous, but she never thought who was the mastermind behind the scenes, and now when she heard Quan Yirou say this, she thought about it carefully, and she was really scared.
She clenched the teacup and said firmly: "The mourning family must stop this plan!"
Zhen Yurong sat near the Queen Mother, took a sip of hot tea, her eyes were calm, as if she was talking to herself, "It's a pity...... Women are not allowed to interfere in politics. ”
This casual sentence, saying that this speechless listener has a heart, and the heart that the Queen Mother originally wanted to stop suddenly sank again.
Murong Shuang has now become Feng Lingye's accomplice, and she naturally knows her plan, but when she heard Quan Yirou say this, she still felt incredulous, so she smiled and said with relief: "Even if Xia Ren enters Beijing as an official and wants to become the queen, it seems that it is not so simple, the queen not only has to have qualifications and morality, but more importantly, she also needs to give birth to a dragon son for the emperor."
"What Sister Murong said is extremely true, it's a good thing that a harem girl wants to become a queen, but she has to use the right way." Quan Yirou looked at her with a smile, hiding a needle in her face.
When did Murong Shuang actually help Feng Lingye speak?
Murong Shuang didn't want to show too much, so she didn't quarrel with her anymore.
The remarks of the two triggered another plan of the Queen Mother, who immediately recruited Li Sumin and Li Imperial Doctor into the Qianming Palace on the grounds of diagnosing the pulse.
Everyone saw that the Queen Mother had a private matter, and they all retired with interest.
Soon, Li Sumin rushed to the Qianming Palace, and when she heard the Queen Mother say this, she suddenly felt embarrassed, "This matter is already a certainty, and the war king is still behind the scenes, it is almost impossible to stop it, the only thing we can do is to take the opportunity to arrange our own guests to enter the palace." ”
The imperial list has been posted, and now that all major towns have received this news, there is no joke in you, and it is absolutely impossible to change it again.
"The mourning family has only been idle for a few days, and there is such a big thing in the court, and you don't come to tell me." The Queen Mother frowned.
Li Sumin lowered his head slightly, "This matter is not that the ministers are hiding it from the Queen Mother, but that it happened too quickly, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not resist his decision to implement this national policy, and no one dared to stop him from stopping the emperor's thunderous means." ”
"That's it, after all, it's still my own lack of ability," the Queen Mother sighed, "Just according to what you said, hurry up and arrange your own manpower, don't be squeezed into the government and the opposition by the Xia people." ”
Li Sumin arched his hand, and then stepped back.
Fengyi Palace.
Everything is in full swing, although Feng Lingye is the behind-the-scenes manipulator, he is not too busy, and there are no women to find fault recently, so he is more free to do his own thing.
In the courtyard, Gong Jiyue took her to practice swordsmanship together, and from morning to night, her swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated.
After a few rounds, coupled with Gong Jiyue's deliberate avoidance, she can occasionally gain the upper hand.
"Have Yanxi and the others been arranged?" She stabbed it with a sword.
He relaxed his body, "It's almost, I guess I'll be able to arrive in Kyoto this afternoon." ”
Feng Lingye seemed to be familiar with his routine, and the wooden sword slashed in his direction.
When Gong Jiyue saw it, she immediately flew out with light skills.
Feng Lingye put away his sword, frowned and said, "You are cheating!"
"Why don't you try to catch up with it too?" He sat down on a dead tree and stretched out his fingers defiantly.
Feng Ling was very angry at night, and was about to ask Tao Yao to find a ladder, but saw Feng Jinxiu walking up with a plate of homemade roast chicken, "This is the new dish that my mother learned from the imperial dining room, how about you come and try it?" ”
As soon as he mentioned eating, Feng Lingye instantly came to his senses, and he didn't care about Gong Jiyue on the treetops, so he immediately followed Feng Jinxiu into the house.
After washing his hands, Feng Lingye went straight to the hands, dipped the chicken slices in a little sauce, rolled into the pancake and took a bite, it was crispy and refreshing, and it was very chewy, and immediately nodded and praised: "It's delicious!"
Gong Jiyue flew into the room, and took a bite of her appearance, as if she thought it was good, and took another after eating.
"It would be nice if there was wine," Feng Lingye sighed, then turned to Tao Yao, "Tao Yao, you go and get a pot of wine." ”
Tao Yao pursed her lips and retreated.
When she was young, she walked in with a jug of wine.
Feng Lingye and Gong Jiyue held meat in one hand and wine in the other, if it weren't for the red palace wall, they seemed to be living the life they wanted.
Twilight.
City gates.
A carriage drove in slowly, and finally stopped at the door of an inn, which was neither small nor small, relatively low-key and quiet.
A pair of slender and white hands opened the curtain, revealing a handsome and gentle face.
Stepping out of the carriage, he walked a few steps and stopped in front of the wall next to the inn, his body was long, and he was dressed in a simple and unpretentious cloth robe, wearing a bit of detachment and lightness.
The shopkeeper came out to take a look, and saw him standing in front of the emperor's list, so he invited gently: "Young Master Yan, please come inside."
When he heard the voice, he didn't turn around, but bowed his head slightly to know it.
"How many Xia people have lived in your inn?" As soon as he opened his voice, it was a voice as cold as a stream, with three points of arrogance and seven points of bookish anger.
The shopkeeper didn't feel rude, but replied with a smile: "There are about seven or eight people."
He glanced at the room, there were about fifty or sixty people in total, all of them were Dali scholars, and his eyes were worried, "The death of Xia Guo is not unreasonable. ”
It is approaching the end of the year, so this imperial examination is also more urgent, although it is eliminated layer by layer according to the previous selection, but the progress is much faster.
Therefore, Dali officials have been busy with this matter recently.
As Yan Xi said, the demise of the Xia Kingdom is indeed exhausted, although Duan Yixuan promulgated this national policy that is beneficial to the Xia people, but the Xia people who actually responded positively are still not enough.
It's not that they don't have talent, but they are afraid that this is a trap for Duan Yixuan to kill everything, so they don't dare to act rashly, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude.
Although there are not many, there is still no shortage of talented and talented people who are proud of their talents and talents to enter Beijing, even if it is a conspiracy, they are willing to moth to the fire, and do not want to be unknown for a lifetime.
The imperial examination went quickly, but it went well.
Candidates will go through a total of three examinations, namely the Township Examination, the General Examination and the Palace Examination.
this day.
Gong Jiyue came to Feng Lingye's dormitory with good news, and as soon as she saw her, she shouted excitedly: "It's hit!"
"Xie Yuan?!" Feng Lingye got up and said, his face also showing joy.
Gong Jiyue patted her head lightly, "Now that I've finished the exam, I'm still Xie Yuan, it's Huiyuan!" ”
"That nerd is so good?" She couldn't help but look surprised, and then said with relief, "But he's just a nerd, and it's not surprising that he is a middle one." ”
"It's not surprising that he not only won the first place in the Hui Yuan, but also Xie Yuan, the first place in the township test, you also go to the test?" Miyahime laughed.
Feng Lingye snorted lightly and sat on the soft couch, "If I were a woman dressed as a man, I would definitely be the champion!" ”
"You're talking about Champion Red, right?" Gong Jiyue quipped.
Feng Lingye picked up the soft pillow and threw it at him, "I don't care to read those useless people!" ”
With this good news, the whole Fengyi Palace was immersed in this good news, and for the sake of insurance, Feng Lingye also asked Gong Jiyue to increase her protection of Yanxi.
Tao Yao, as a person in Fengyi Palace, although she didn't know the details, she had guessed a few points based on her observations these days.
So taking advantage of the night, she quietly came to Qianming Palace again.
The Queen Mother had already fallen asleep at this time, and when she heard Mama Lin say that she had something to report, she got up and put on a cloak and moved to the soft couch.
Tao Yao saw that the Queen Mother had changed into a white undershirt, and knew that she was disturbed, so she said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry to disturb the Queen Mother so late, but Tao Yao has something to tell the Queen Mother immediately."
The Queen Mother knew Tao Yao's temperament, and when she appeared so late, she must have been afraid that the people from Fengyi Palace would find out, and she didn't mean to blame, so she just said, "Say it." ”
Tao Yao bowed, "A while ago, Yi Guiren went to the imperial study, and the emperor avoided it, so she used bitter meat tricks to force the emperor to see her, and soon after, the emperor began to promulgate the decree of Xia Dali's family. ”
These queen mothers all knew, so they didn't show any surprises.
Tao Yao continued: "Tao Yao guessed that this decree must be inseparable from her. Since she wants to establish her own power, she is bound to arrange her own people to enter the court. Not long after the announcement of today's trial list, Tao Yao saw Xiao Yue excitedly meet Yi Guiren, and then Feng Yi Palace fell into a joy, Tao Yao thought, the Xia people they arranged must have won the Huiyuan, or they have already entered the list. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly became gloomy.
This Feng Lingye really has some skills.
It seems that Li Subin's plan has been put into practice.
After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother turned to Tao Yao with a smile on her face, "Good job, this time you have made a contribution, and the mourning family will remember it in your heart." ”
When Tao Yao heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and put his head on the ground, "Tao Yao doesn't want to be rich and rich, but only to have a place to live in the harem." But the noble people are thoughtful, and there is no room for sand in their eyes, if the peach is exposed, please also ask the queen mother to protect the peach life! ”
"You work hard for the mourning family, and the mourning family will naturally protect you, don't worry." The Queen Mother was relieved.
Tao Yao got up, said "goodbye", and then followed Mama Lin out of Fengyi Palace through the back door.
The queen sank, "Someone." ”
A palace maid walked in from outside the hall, "Queen Mother." ”
"Let Li Sumin enter the palace immediately to see the mourning family." The Queen Mother said urgently.
The palace maid didn't dare to delay, took the queen mother's waist card, and hurriedly sent someone out of the palace.
Li Sumin got the secret decree and quickly came to the Qianming Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the soft couch, her eyes full of murderous aura, "Who is Xie Yuan in this township test?" ”
"Xia Ren Yanxi." Li Somin replied.
The Queen Mother asked again, "Who is Huiyuan?" ”
"Xia Ren Yanxi." Li Sumin replied without hesitation.
The Queen Mother's fingers tightened, "Kill him!" ”
Li Sumin's eyes widened, "This person is talented, and his reputation has already resounded throughout Dali and Kyoto, if you take the liberty of doing it, I'm afraid the emperor will definitely investigate it thoroughly!" ”
"So what?" The Queen Mother glared at him, "Does he dare to kill the mourning family?" ”
Li Sumin frowned, "Although I don't dare, but the Li Mansion is bound to be affected, Queen Mother!" ”
"As long as the mourning family doesn't fall, the Li Mansion can't fall!" The Queen Mother said strongly.
Li Sumin sighed, "Okay, the minister will do it immediately according to the queen mother's will." ”
Following.
Just like the usual merry and talented people, Yan Xi was also pulled into the largest green building by the candidates around him.
There are many talented women who are full of poetry and books and have a rough life, including many beauties of Xia who live here.
Sitting in the good room, I saw that on the mat in front of the windowsill, a beautiful woman still hugged the pipa and half covered her face, and the piano was like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, slender like jade, which was lovable and pitiful.
On the opposite side, four or five young talents are drinking poems, h2
