Chapter 336: The Ceremony Begins

"What if you know?" Wei Yin didn't understand.

Pei Yongtu pulled the corners of his mouth: "Wei Shi didn't have many flaws, and now it is extremely difficult to convince His Majesty that he has ill intentions." Wei Shanzhi and His Royal Highness's repeated failures have invisibly made His Majesty more convinced of Wei Shi, especially after the last imperial examination fraud incident, which made Wei Shi turn the danger into a disaster, His Majesty no longer has the slightest suspicion about him. To catch his shortcomings, we have to work hard. ”

Wei Yin was angry when he mentioned the incident last time: "Speaking of fraud in the imperial examination, didn't you say at the time that it was foolproof?" ”

"It was really my oversight." Pei Yongtu lowered his head, and there was a hint of depression in his eyes.

Obviously, it was okay, Wei Shi would never be able to clear his suspicion, but he finally retreated!

This is what Pei Yongtu never expected, and it is also what he still can't figure out, Wei Shi can't find out what he did, Pei Yongtu has never understood how he lost this game.

Wei Yin raised his fist and slammed it on the pillar next to him: "Is there no way at all?" When you suddenly mentioned the Southern Chu royal family, I'm afraid it also has some deep meaning, right? ”

"Yes, one thing, although it is my guess, but I'm afraid eight or nine are not far from ten." Pei Yongtu remembered this, and his restless heart immediately quieted down: "Does Your Highness still remember the three-grade Zhenshu Muyunge that the emperor personally sealed?" ”

"Who can forget her?" Wei Yin frowned: "She is now a treasure in the palm of Wei Shi's hand, and she is the big hit in this women's palace exam, is there anyone in the world who doesn't know her?" ”

"Mu Yunge is Nangong Jin's friend, His Highness knows about this. But His Royal Highness must not know that Lin Juzheng was able to come back from the Chu State, and Mu Yunge made great contributions. Pei Yongtu's eyes flashed with calculation: "I got reliable information that during the period before Lin Juzheng came back, someone had seen her on the border between Southern Chu and Eastern Wei. It was she who personally went to Chu to bring Lin Juzheng back. And after they came back, did His Highness know who was chasing after them all the way? ”

"Who?" Wei Yinqi said.

Pei Yongtu lightly spit out a name: "Duan Rongxuan." ”

When Wei Yin heard this, his eyes widened: "Is it Duan Rongxuan?" What is he doing after Yun Ge and Lin Juzheng? ”

"I'm still verifying what it is, but it's certain that it must be inseparable from Mu Yunge. Wei Shi is such a treasure Mu Yunge, as long as something happens to Mu Yunge, he will definitely be in chaos. Pei Yongtu sank his face: "It's just that this Mu Yunge is not easy to deal with." ”

"It's not easy for us to deal with her, can't the people of Nanchu deal with her?" Wei Yin smiled coldly.

Pei Yongtu understood what he meant, Duan Rongxuan chased after these two people, if it was really for Mu Yunge, there were only two possibilities, either, Duan Rongxuan wanted to get Mu Yunge, or, Duan Rongxuan wanted to destroy Mu Yunge.

Judging from the fact that the two of them left Nanchu, Duan Rongxuan couldn't wait to ascend to the throne, and he had the greatest chance of wanting to get Mu Yunge.

The war between the two countries was imminent, and Emperor Wu was old, having lost the fighting spirit of his youth, and wanted more and more to preserve the current stable situation, and did not want to fight each other. Emperor Wu's current mind is also the most likely to make peace. At that time, as long as Duan Rongxuan asks for Mu Yunge as a bargaining chip for peace, Emperor Wu will definitely consider it!

Pei Yongtu hugged his fists: "I'll pass the book to the Nanchu spy and send Mu Yunge's portrait." ”

"Then there is Uncle Lao!" Wei Yin looked happy and ecstatic.

Pei Yongtu waved his hand and walked out quickly, and soon, a flying pigeon biography carrying Mu Yunge's portrait set off from Kyoto and disappeared into the vast land.

On the second day of April, the imperial list was posted outside the imperial city, announcing the results of the final palace election of the spring examination.

As expected, Yuan Shiying won the top prize in high school and ranked first in the top three. Among the top three, Bangyan is another famous talent Sun Jian, and Tanhua is a person from a little-known small village, named Hu Shiyi. In addition to Tanhua, the other two are also expected by everyone, so as soon as this list is announced, the small inn where Hu Shiyi stayed has become the most popular fragrant dumpling in the capital.

And the women's list is undoubtedly the most concerned.

The name written at the top of the list is Mu Yunge, the eye of the list is Zhen You, a person from Hebei, and Tanhua is Miss Lin of Tian Zhong's calligrapher. Chen Shuhan is not ranked among the top three, but he is also a Jinshi.

Why did these two lists split separately, everyone was taken aback, the original reform was set to be the same list for men and women, but now it was suddenly changed, although Emperor Wu explained that there were many excellent people in this palace examination, but it still made people speculate.

After the two lists are announced, they will enter a three-day publicity period. During the publicity period, any opinions that are dissatisfied with the list can be written to the Imperial History Observatory, and the Imperial History Observatory will evaluate it, and if what is said is reasonable, it will be presented to Emperor Wu by the Imperial History Table, and the candidates with opinions will be re-evaluated and ruling.

However, in the past three days, every spring test is just a decoration, and the person selected by Emperor Wu, who dares to say that he is unfair? What everyone can do is just a spring test.

However, this year's spring examination reform is different from the way of marking papers in previous years, and this year a series of measures have been adopted, such as the difference between the invigilator and the marker, and the name of the answer sheet with a blank paper, which is difficult to cheat, and naturally there are not too many loopholes to catch.

This year's spring test is very light, and once the three-day publicity period has passed, there has been no change on the list!

On the sixth day of the first month of April, after the publicity period was completed, Emperor Wu symbolically met with these new jinshi, and then at the Luming banquet held immediately, Emperor Wu did not show particularly excited emotions. He sat for a while, his body was tired after all, and he didn't stay too long, so he ordered everyone to disperse, and the Zhongshu Order drafted a document to convey it.

The most exciting spring test inside and outside the government and the opposition has passed, and the ending is jaw-dropping, which naturally cannot satisfy people's hearts when watching the excitement.

Fortunately, there are not many others in Beijing, and there is always a lot of excitement.

After the completion of the imperial examination, what followed was the gift of Mu Yunge, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Changyi, who had been concerned by everyone and won the first place in this imperial examination. Many years later, this ceremony is still used by many large families in Beijing as an excellent example of persuading their daughters to be obedient and motivated.

In April, Kyoto is in full bloom, the climate is warm early, and the pleasant fragrance of flowers is dyed all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and you want to smell it.

Mu Yunge's and Lu Rites can be said to be a lot of attention, in the Changyi Hou Mansion, Mu Zhizhao and Xiao held Mu Yunge in the palm of their hands for ten years, and they were naturally very concerned about their daughter's and Lu Li, and there were three days, almost none of the Mu family's silk and satin villages and ready-to-wear stores in Kyoto were open to the public, and they were all used to prepare the things to be used for the ceremony. The day before his birthday, the Mu family has been cleaned spotlessly by the girls, and the lights everywhere are as if they are celebrating a festival.

The entire Changyi Marquis Mansion has a new look, and the people are also refreshed.

Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Shi are just that, even Yunrao is radiant, the smile on her face has been on for a few days, and the scars on her face have made the skillful Pei Qing pick it up carefully, and it is not as hideous as before.

From a distance, the figure still has the grace of the year, and the facial features are not close, but still revealing a mysterious charm.

After the makeup was painted, Yun Rao sat in front of the mirror and stroked her face, silent for a long time.

This face was ruined in the process of fleeing, according to her medical skills, she could have been completely cured without leaving a single scar, but the beloved in her heart has long been annihilated in this earthly world, even if she is ten times more beautiful, what is the use? At this time, I will see the face of the year, but what about the people of the year, if he is really reincarnated, which family will he devote himself to? Can it become a long-cherished wish of the year, more freedom?

After a while, she sighed, reached out and fished out the silver mask that she had been carrying with her all these years, which was something that Rong Zihong often wore at the beginning, she stroked it for a moment, and slowly put the mask on her face.

Silver seduction, this mask covers her corrupted face, revealing a beautiful half of her face, adding to the temptation.

On the day of the ceremony, as soon as Yun Rao came out, it caused quite a stir.

When everyone learned that she was the Boss Rong who Mu Yunge recognized as his godmother, everyone was shocked and sighed, and even Mrs. Chen couldn't help but joke: "This is really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Boss Rong has been raising well these days, this dress, Boss Rong is also a rare beauty." ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Xie had also seen Boss Rong at that time, nodded approvingly, and said casually: "Boss Rong is dressed like this, but he looks very good." If I hadn't known that Boss Rong was my godmother, in a blink of an eye, I would have almost thought that she and Yun Ge were mother and daughter, these eyebrows and eyes are ...... like."

The so-called speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Mrs. Xie's words almost scared out half of Xiao's heart, and she hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, I know that you are a boastful boss who is actually good-looking, so you don't need to use my Yunge as a metaphor, right?" By the way, what about your book? Saying that, Xiao Shi didn't wait for Mrs. Xie to object, and quickly introduced the topic to Chen Shuhan, looked at Mrs. Chen and said, "I heard that your family's Shuhan's marriage is decided?" ”

"Isn't your Yunge also decided?" Mrs. Chen obviously knew some of the inside story, and covered her mouth and laughed.

With her appearance like this, Mrs. Xie immediately became interested, leaned over and asked, "Yun Ge has a will, but the wedding date is not said, right?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Mrs. Chen mysteriously sold Guanzi.

Mrs. Song, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Li and a bunch of other people were all looking forward to it, urging the Xiao family to go and have a look, Yun Ge was ready, and he was going to welcome people to the main hall.

Mu Yunge was picked up early in the morning to bathe and change clothes, and waited in the room, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, and went to the main hall to receive a salute.

She is not boring, Chen Shuhan, Nangong Jin and other friends are all around her chattering non-stop, Ning Bi Pavilion is also full of powerful ladies in Beijing, even if she can't reach the friendship with Chen Shuhan on weekdays, but they are also familiar with each other, everyone is talking and laughing, and seeing that it is about to be auspicious.

Xiao led Yushan over to Ning Bi Pavilion, took Mu Yunge's hand and talked for a while, to confirm whether Mu Yunge still remembered the etiquette agenda, so as not to make jokes later.

As he was talking, Yuxi came in from outside and replied in a low voice: "Madam, someone from the palace has come, saying that he came to pull the hair for the young lady at the behest of His Majesty." ”
