In the bleak autumn day, the cold wind blew the iron bells hanging under the temple, making a crisp ringing bell, and in this windy night, it became more and more cold and lonely.

The candles in the imperial study were lit brightly, but Emperor Xiaochun was still too dim, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran to add more candles.

Emperor Xiaochun held his forehead and sighed, his head was as big as a bucket.

The imperial examination is a major event of national policy, and it has only been two or three years since Daye recuperated, and the selection of people of insight in the imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and Emperor Xiaochun attaches great importance to it, but he does not admit that such ugly things can occur that damage the foundation of the country.

Several princes, scholars, prime ministers, and six scholars all knelt on the ground with brushes, occupying the space of the imperial study, and one by one they fell to the ground, silent.

He looked up at a room of people, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and said angrily:

"It's no wonder that you guys can quarrel early, one by one, why are you all dumb now."

The emperor was so angry that he slapped the table, and the teacup rose with a crisp sound of porcelain colliding.

"Zhang Chengru."

Zhang Chengru, who was named as a "minister...... trembled with fright, trembled, kowtowed two heads and climbed two steps forward, shouting with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, the minister has been an official for six years, and he has never done anything unethical...... Wronged. ”

"Wronged, you wronged. Then you tell me, who is not wronged. ”

The emperor simply stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and stood in front of Zhang Chengru: "If you do something like this, how can you still have the face to say that you are wronged." ”

"Minister...... The minister really doesn't know, the topic was written by the minister and the Hanlin Academy and the prime minister, and it has been properly sealed in the secret compartment of the Hanlin Academy, as for why it was leaked, the minister ......"

The more Zhang Chengru spoke, the more excited he became, and he simply cried bitterly and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, the minister handed over the file to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, not the minister, really not the minister, the leaked test question handwriting is not the minister's handwriting, it is clearly ...... It's Your Highness's handwriting, Your Majesty...... The minister is terrified. ”

At that moment, Shen did silently close his eyes.

Li Luansong has always said that Zhang Chengru is a sanctimonious coward, and he is not wrong. In Zhang Chengru's position, it was King Jin who gave him this opportunity, otherwise, with his ability and character, it would be difficult to have a future no matter what.

However, now that something happened, everything was still not clear, but he picked himself up as soon as possible and pushed everything on Li Luansong.

Grace will take revenge, only think about himself in everything, this is Zhang Chengru's personality, this is also his way of treating people with the grace of knowledge, at that moment, Shen really felt that he was really blind back then, how could he look at such a wretch.

However, Zhang Chengru is even more stupid because he underestimated His Majesty's short-term heart, which is his favorite son.

"Nothing to do with you?" Emperor Xiaochun yelled, and his face changed in an instant, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin kindly recommended you, I let you try it because of his face, you are good, you will be pushed clean after poking the basket." ”

"Okay, it's none of your business, it's very good." Emperor Xiaochun was so angry that he raised his foot and gave him two more blows, "Such people who don't know how to repay their kindness, such a rat who is afraid of things, how can they be an official for me, you think beautifully, you want to be beautiful......"

His Majesty was really angry, and kicked Zhang Chengru several times in a row, kicking the person out of the way, and then stopped panting.

"Father is not angry, it's all the fault of his son."

Shen Qu hurriedly knelt down and helped his old father, who was a little stumbling.

Who knew that behind him, Li Luanhong said: "Father, the matter is very important, the son thinks that even though the father feels sorry for the imperial brother, but the imperial examination cannot tolerate the slightest falsehood, and the father should no longer protect the imperial brother at this time." As far as Erchen knows, the exam questions that were left out were written by the eldest brother, and Zhang Chengru's brother-in-law Song Kuan's younger brother Song Kuan explained that the test questions were given to him by his sister, is there anything I don't understand, that is, the eldest brother and Zhang Chengru colluded for personal gain. ”

Here comes another blind man.

Li Luanfeng, who was kneeling beside Lao Wu, closed his eyes in despair.

Emperor Xiaochun's eyes looked at the fifth child, and he snorted coldly and asked, "Then what do you mean, how should this matter be decided?" ”

Li Luanfeng knelt on the ground, turned his face slightly, and desperately hinted to the fifth child: Don't say it, shut up.

But Li Luanhong finally caught the boss's mistake, full of victory in sight, where can he take care of those, and simply said: "Father, this matter is already very clear, it has caused such a big mistake, and the sons and ministers think that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he must not be tolerated, and he also asks his father to take it." ”

The voice is loud, the righteousness is strict, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring.

The angry Emperor Xiaochun pointed at him and trembled so much that he couldn't speak, there were still a few people between the two, and he couldn't walk over, and there was nothing to smash at hand, so the emperor simply took off his boots and threw them out towards the door of the fifth child.

Li Luanhong couldn't react, the sole of the shoe smashed straight to his head, leaving two big footprints on his face, and the whole person lay on the ground, not daring to speak anymore.

"Old five, old five, you are really ...... It's just a big man, not a brain. Emperor Xiaochun scolded: "What is a big mistake, what is a big mistake, is there a problem with the imperial examination, isn't there a spare test question, ah~"

"The matter is already clear, how can you tell me about the law? Who leaked the test questions, your big brother? Then why does he still have a spare set in his hand, why does he use the spare one directly for the exam, ah, you speak. ”

Speaking of this, Li Luanhong suddenly realized and fell into the way.

"And you, boss." Emperor Xiaochun was finally willing to say Li Luansong, "I have long known that someone has leaked the test questions, why don't you tell me that you are secretly preparing a backup plan, you are hiding from the world, you are so capable." ”

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong." Shen Cheng hurriedly apologized, "Erchen was also very confused when he found out about this, and he didn't know what to do, but when the article that Erchen handed over to Mr. was lost, Erchen understood, as for why he didn't report to his father because he didn't want to startle the snake, and he wanted to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, this person is too hateful and must be severely punished." ”

"Okay, well, one of you two has grown up, you have grown up, you have a good life, and you are planning under my nose."

All the princes kowtowed in unison, their heads touching the floor, and there was a bang.

"And you." His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the group of old ministers, "What are you all doing to eat, don't you all know that these little rabbit cubs are making trouble?" Don't you know any of them? ”

"Ah, whose students are the students who taught them."

Scholar Li hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Lao Chen's student, Lao Chen knows his mistakes." ”

Yes, these princes are not all his students, but is he willing to teach them? It's not that His Majesty the Emperor coerced and enticed, but instead of seeing that there was a champion son in someone's family, he had to let the scholars teach his sons......

Thinking of the past, Scholar Li had a hard time, and sighed in his heart: Don't mention the past, Your Majesty is too unreasonable.

Just think about it silently, my student, or your son, huh.

"Father, you can't blame the scholar for this matter, it's the son who is not good, don't be angry." Shen said: "The son will prove his innocence, and then catch the person behind the scenes and give his father an explanation." ”

Emperor Xiaochun glanced at him helplessly, "Okay, the bell must be tied to the bell, so I will give you a few days to find out the truth as soon as possible." ”

Turning his head, he saw Zhang Chengru kneeling slowly back, and said: "Zhang Chengru was dismissed on the spot, and he will not be allowed to enter the court as an official in this life." ”

"Lock him up for a few days first, and reflect on it."

A personal soldier came in outside and took Zhang Chengru away, the original gentleman had no strength to struggle at this time, the whole person was paralyzed like a puddle of mud, his face was bloodless, his eyes were empty, and he didn't even shout injustice.

Looking at him like that, Shen Qu felt sad in his heart for the girlish feelings he once understood.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

A familiar voice sounded at the door, and the queen had come in without a word of communication.

The emperor and queen are childhood sweethearts, growing up together, with deep feelings and very attached to each other, seeing the queen, Emperor Xiaochun's face showed a trace of grievance and resentment.

"The queen came just in time, I can't help it, I can't control it."

The queen said: "Your Majesty should be beaten, scolded, don't be angry with your body, the concubine has been scolding for a few hours, you are tired, rest and rest, and scold again tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Li Luansong, and then helped Emperor Xiaochun to sit back on the dragon chair, and said, "Your Majesty, you have a good rest, Song'er's concubine will take it away, and continue training for you." ”

After speaking, he walked down to His Majesty Dan, and said to the others: "What are you kneeling here, waiting to take care of the food, there is no food today." ”

The queen mother came to relieve the siege, no one did not appreciate it, and they withdrew from the hall one by one, leaving only Emperor Xiaochun on the dragon throne alone.

When he reacted, he realized that everyone was gone, and it turned out that the queen was not here to care about him, but to save her son.

Emperor Xiaochun: ...... I only have your son in my heart, and the queen doesn't accompany me.

His Majesty is starting to get angry again.

But it was said that the queen mother took her son's hand and walked out of the imperial study, and met the virtuous concubine, and the concubine heard that His Majesty was angry and the queen went, so she naturally couldn't be willing to live in the queen, so she immediately dressed up and chased after her.

As a result, the mother and son came out of the study, but they didn't see their son.

"The concubine sees the queen's mother." The concubine scribbled and craned her neck to look into the imperial study.

The queen also ignored her, and her face immediately changed at the moment with a pleasant face, and she said to Shen Cheng: "Song'er doesn't pay attention to him, your old man is confused, let's go, ignore him." ”

After speaking, Shen Qu, who was confused, hurriedly left.

Shen Qu turned around and saw that the concubine was carrying her skirt and went straight to the imperial study, and the delicate voice made people's scalps tingle:

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here to accompany you, don't give birth to ......"

"Why, you also came to get your son." As soon as Emperor Xiaochun reacted, he was silently angry with the queen, and when he met the concubine, he said: "Get out, get out, you guys...... You're so angry. ”

Outside the door of the imperial study, the queen, who listened to the jokes with her ears open, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Shen Qu with a smile: "Let's go, it's cold today, let's go eat the pot." ”

Shen Qu helped the queen to get on the chariot, and when he turned his face, he saw a double sedan chair not far away, Li Luanfeng just opened the sedan curtain, and there was still a person sitting in it, Zhou Xueying.

*

Dark clouds covered the moon, and the drunken immortal building was shrouded in night.

Li Luansong stood with his hands in his hands and stood on the railing, and reported to him in May: "Back to Your Highness, your subordinates have reminded the Queen Mother according to your instructions, and the subordinates saw the Queen Mother rush into the imperial study, and led the Royal Highness out in less than an hour of incense." The subordinates saw it clearly, and Niangniang and His Royal Highness had a smile on their faces. ”

Li Luansong nodded, from childhood to adulthood, every time his father made him suffer, his mother rescued him, the so-called one thing descends to one thing, at this time, the queen must come out.

"Okay, this king is in a good mood today, have a few drinks." He flicked his sleeves and said, "You find Xiao Er, let Zelan come up to eat with me." ”

May:...... I didn't eat either.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Li Luansong said: "You go back and accompany your Royal Highness to dinner, I won't keep you here." ”

May:...... Your Highness is too deep into the play!
