Chapter 329: The Spring Test is Coming
Nangong Jin received the edict of Emperor Wu and immediately galloped back to Kyoto from the camp in Kyoto, and hurriedly asked for a meeting.
Emperor Wu had already taken advantage of such a moment of effort to calm down for a moment. In the Zhaode Palace, all the people waited with bated breath, waiting anxiously for another storm.
When Nangong Jin came in, Emperor Wu couldn't see anything unusual in his expression, he was holding hot tea, his expression was a little sluggish, but he could barely ask kindly: "Jin'er, I've been patrolling the Beijing guard recently, and I'm in charge of the Kyoto camp, but I'm still busy?" ”
Nangong Jin didn't know what he meant, and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the affairs of patrolling the Jingwei are handled by the deputy general Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan is a stable person, and the minister is not worried that the patrol Jingwei will make mistakes." The ministers in the Kyoto camp are keeping a close eye on it, and now there are a group of capable cadres, which is quite relaxed......"
"In that case, it's not busy." Emperor Wu bowed, took another sip of hot tea, paused, and said, "Since you are not busy, I have something here that I want to leave to you." ”
Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, and her heart quickly calculated.
Now that Wei Shan is in charge of the country, Wei Shi is favored, no matter how bad it is, there is also an idle prince Wei Yin, Emperor Wu put the two princes who were most favored by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military not to choose, and Wei Yin did not choose, but he called her to come, and the deep meaning is self-evident. What kind of big thing made Emperor Wu so hesitant?
However, Emperor Wu was on top, and she didn't have time to think, she could only rely on her instinct to answer: "Yes, follow Your Majesty's orders!" ”
"I have a list here." Emperor Wu patted the fold on the desk in front of him, and his voice was low and hoarse: "I will hand it over to you, give you a month, and give me an explanation." ”
"Confession?" Nangong Jin muttered to herself, not knowing why.
Qi Chun picked up the fold, handed it to Nangong Jin with both hands, and took the opportunity to whisper for Emperor Wu: "These people are talented, it's a pity to kill them, it's useless to stay in them, what Your Majesty wants, naturally, you will never see these people in the court again, but it won't hurt their lives......"
Nangong Jin took the thin booklet, but her hand shook unconsciously.
She quickly raised her eyes and skimmed Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu's eyes were condensed, his face was unmoved, Qi Chun's words were undoubtedly what he meant, he was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, he took the book, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Emperor Wu yawned, and Qi Chun was busy picking people up: "Your Majesty sleeps peacefully......
Nangong Jin had no choice but to quit.
Standing at the door of the Zhaode Palace, Nangong Jin sighed, thought about it, and sighed again. I opened the fold and took a quick look, many of the names are familiar, but I don't know which of the three is involved this time? She was a little frightened, both afraid of involving people she didn't want to be involved, and afraid that if she couldn't handle this matter, Emperor Wu would not be able to explain it here.
Suddenly, Nangong Jin's eyes lit up and he had an idea.
She didn't know who these people were, but Mu Yunge had always been smart and well-informed, she must have known who was standing behind her at a glance at these lists, and she didn't feel so tricky to deal with!
Nangong Jin rode away and went straight to Mufu.
When he arrived at Ning Bi Pavilion, Nangong Jin asked Mu Yunge to retreat left and right, closed the doors and windows, and then took out the fold from his arms and said to Mu Yunge: "Yunge, I have something to ask for!" ”
"Why are you so mysterious?" Mu Yunge said with a smile: "The two of us still need to say words?" ”
Nangong Jin said solemnly: "If it weren't for the importance involved, I wouldn't have used this word." Yun Ge, I know that you have seven tricks in your heart, and your wisdom is not inferior to that of men, and you are also well aware of the situation in the capital. You can help me look at this list, I want to know who is behind this! ”
"Where did these lists come from?" Mu Yunge glanced at it roughly, a little surprised in his heart.
She has an almost identical copy in her hand, which is from Qiao Fengqi's intelligence screening, but this list is only known to her and Qiao Fengqi, where did Nangong Jin get it?
She counted, and the list was even more detailed than the one in her hand!
Nangong Jin had the heart to ask for it, of course, she knew everything, and said everything: "It was given to me by His Majesty." ”
As he spoke, he told the events of the afternoon, and at the end he asked: "I have conquered the battlefield, and I know the arrangement and response of the enemy well, but this intrigue and deceit are really not my strengths." Yun Ge, what is the purpose of your majesty saying that you gave me this list? ”
"It's very simple, Your Majesty doesn't believe in King Chen, King Yu and King Yong." Mu Yunge put down the fold, and after today, she got another warning.
Now that I think about it, there have really been too many changes this year, and some are in a hurry to advance, which makes Emperor Wu suspicious of Wei Shi.
However, after thinking about it, she was relieved.
Emperor Wu himself is the victor who came out of the battle for succession, and he can be said to know these things in a small way, if he has not been aware of it at this point today, it is too stupid.
With the folds under her hands, Mu Yunge quickly had an idea in her heart, perhaps, she could also use this list to clear Wei Shi's suspicions, and completely tear Wei Yin's mask apart. In this way, Wei Shi can be safe for a short time, and Nangong Jin can also give Emperor Wu a perfect explanation.
She thought for a while, and then said, "Since Your Majesty asked Qi Chun to hint at you, if you want these people to disappear from the court, but without harming their lives, the best way is to transfer out." ”
"But I don't know any of the key officials in the DPRK and China, how can I transfer them?" Nangong Jin was in trouble.
Singer Mu Yun pointed and pointed out a few people: "These are military generals, and now they are not important positions in Beijing, so you will transfer everyone to your command on the grounds that the Northwest Army lacks generals." These people go to the Northwest Army, and you can call them up at your discretion. Like this one named Li Yutong, I remember that he was a meteor hammer, and his martial arts skills were good, so he happened to be transferred to your army to be the head of the sect. This Zhang Hanlin, a weak scholar, was just assigned to do paperwork. ”
"That's very good." Nangong Jin nodded again and again with joy.
Mu Yunge also smiled, according to this strategy of mobilization, there will be no waste of talents, and there is no need to worry about not being able to complete the task assigned by Emperor Wu. The most important thing is that if there is a need to assign additional responsibilities to these people in the future, it will not leave them with a stain, and it will undoubtedly be an opportunity for the future monarch to buy people's hearts.
The matter was settled, and Mu Yunge told Nangong Jin how these people used them one by one, and finally answered her initial question: "It is said that I know that these people seem to have more or less contact with the princes on weekdays, but speaking of which, they all ascended to the throne through the Pei family. ”
"Pei family? Are they the people of the Eternal King? Nangong Jin was taken aback, and the whole person almost jumped.
How is this possible?
In her impression, King Yong was afraid that he was the most scheming and the person who had the least intention of fighting for the throne, and now Mu Yunge suddenly told her that before she knew it, King Yong had installed so many people in the court, how could she not be shocked?
For a while, Nangong Jin somewhat understood Emperor Wu's feelings!
She sat down a little distracted and muttered to herself: "Although Wei Shi and Wei Yin are the two pillars of the Pei family, as we all know, because of the relationship between Concubine De, Wei Shi has never been close to the Pei family. On the contrary, Wei Yin has been raised under Pei Yongtu's knees for many years, and has been taught and respected by Pei Yongtu...... However, it is unfathomable that he has been able to paralyze everyone for so long, no wonder His Majesty is so jealous. ”
Nangong Jin was stunned for a while, then said goodbye and left the Mu family. After this incident, a stab was stabbed in her uncomplicated heart, and from this moment on, she began to think about the position she was in now, so as not to be involved in deeper twists and turns.
That night, Wei Shi visited Ning Bi Pavilion, and Mu Yunge learned the source of the list in Emperor Wu's hand.
After all, Wei Shi has stayed in Beijing for more than ten years longer than her, and her penetration and grasp of connections are far greater than Qiao Fengqi's, and this list is also more detailed, almost breaking all of Wei Yin's layouts in one blow.
After this battle, Wei Yin's vitality was greatly damaged, and he no longer dared to make any changes.
Mu Yunge and Wei Shi also put away all their actions here, waiting for Nangong Jin to clean up Wei Yin for them.
Two days later, the much-anticipated spring test began!
This year's spring test has undergone reforms, and it has attracted everyone's attention from the first day.
According to the original rules, this year's imperial examination will have female students in the same township examination and the talented people selected by the Hui Examination. During the spring examination, there will be separate subjects for men and women, and the examination will be held at the same time. Of course, female students only take the exam once, and all the talented people have to pass five levels and six generals before they can enter the palace exam.
And the spring examination that everyone in the capital is looking forward to is actually the last pass of the imperial examination in previous years.
Two days before the start of the spring examination, a large number of people from all over the world had already entered Beijing and stayed in large and small inns in Kyoto, waiting for the spring examination that would be closed for three days.
And the daughters of Biling Academy from all over the world also gathered in the capital, ready to show their strength.
On the day of the start of the spring examination, the bells and drums on the corner gate beat solemnly in the whole city, and the lifters and ladies lined up with serious faces to enter the examination venue of the spring examination - Shangshuyuan. After entering Shangshuyuan, the man walked to the left, and the ladies were led by the palace maid to turn right and go to the Rejuvenation Pavilion behind Shangshuyuan. During this period, everyone was separated by curtains, not allowed to talk, not to pass on messages, not to cheat, and only when the bell rang at the end of the exam could they leave Shangshuyuan in an orderly manner.
Mu Yunge and Chen Shuhan are both on the list of this spring exam, but unfortunately, the two are not in the same hall, so they can only wish each other the best results at the door.
The door of Shang Shuyuan slammed shut, blocking all the expectant eyes outside the palace gate, and inside the palace gate, the examiners who presided over the spring examination had serious faces, and after repeatedly reiterating the discipline of the examination room, they instructed the maidservant inner supervisor to lower the curtain, distribute pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and officially start the examination.
The lights of Shangshuyuan have never been extinguished, and the candle flame has illuminated the entire Shangshuyuan in these three days.
Three days later, in the evening, the bell and drum on the corner gate rang again, and all the people who took the examination went out of the palace gate in the order in which they came, with different expressions.
Wei Shi waited at the door of Shang Shuyuan, and when he saw Mu Yunge coming out, he hurriedly held her cold fingers in his arms, wrapped her in his own cloak, and then asked, "It's been stuffy for three days, it must be stuffy, right?" Where do you want to go? ”
