April was supposed to be a good time to be full of flowers. But at noon, a sudden drizzle came, and a cold wind blew on people, and there was a bone-piercing anti-seasonal cold.

There are five days left, which is the big day of the temple examination.

As soon as he sent off Li and Huang, Ye Junsheng sat back in the study, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, and his heart was as calm as the sea.

Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi made a special trip to tell each other, that is, to talk to Ye Junsheng about how to deal with the palace examination.

Strictly speaking, so far, Ye Junsheng has not really belonged to the camp of the second prince. However, in Zhao Kuangqi's view, it seems that Ye Junsheng has been regarded as a potential rookie talent of the second prince.

There is no way to tell, and there is no need for this.

After the incident of Zhuangyuanlou, Zhao Kuangqi was quite jealous of Ye Junsheng, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a thorn in his side. Now, he sits in the Jinluan Palace, looking down on the world, while Ye Junsheng bows to the front as a scholar candidate. The identities of the two, one is a monarch and the other is a minister.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. "It has always been a political platform.

So, what does Zhao Kuangqi want Ye Jun to live and die?

Li Yifeng and others are most worried about this problem.

Ye Junsheng's temperament is quite eccentric, but it is undeniable that he refuses to suffer. Anyway, since they met, even though they have experienced many ups and downs, they have never seen Ye Junsheng really suffer.

But this time it's different, it's very different. It is not ordinary people, not ordinary officials, but the supreme ruler of the entire empire: the king.

Don't say Ye Junsheng. Now even Li Huang and others feel the threat of death. Predictable. In the near future, when the Great Purge begins. All the people of the second prince's lineage have to endure extremely severe trials and pressures.

Li Yifeng They are not afraid of death, as readers who have been familiar with the books of sages since childhood, they have their own unbending backbone.

During the conversation, Ye Junsheng also vaguely reminded the second elder to temporarily return to his hometown and leave the whirlpool of Jingshi, but was rejected by the other party.

Huang Yuanqi said loudly: "The saint is critically ill, and the new monarch can't wait to exclude dissidents. The killing ring is a great evil, which can be described as a national disaster. In the face of national disaster, can Wu'an seek good fortune and avoid harm, and protect himself wisely?"

Li Yifeng echoed: "We read the books of sages and sages to educate benevolence and righteousness. And when the country is in trouble, but it is panicked, how do the people of the world view it? From now on, thousands of years will be won. Where's the indoctrination?"

Ye Junsheng understood what they meant, they wanted to stay in Jingshi and do their best to help save the situation, so as to set an example.

So it acts. Stubborn and respectable.

It's like a teacher teaching students to sacrifice themselves for others all day long, but disaster can happen. But he ran faster than anyone else.

Can such a teacher still teach people in the future? Even if he teaches people. I'm afraid the students won't believe in it anymore.

In a word: be a teacher.

Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi are two famous Confucian scholars with a grand reputation. Have students all over the world. They will set an example in front of the whole world.

Even if the price to pay is death.

Ye Junsheng couldn't help but think of a few testaments in history: Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness; only his righteousness is exhausted, so he is benevolent; what is the matter of reading the book of sages; and now and in the future, he is almost worthy of it.

His heart was agitated, and he immediately spread out the four treasures of the study, twisted the thickest wolf hair, and wrote the book.

After a few moments, the thirty-two large characters were written one by one, divided into four banners. But it looks like a whole, the pen and ink are hearty, and there is a different kind of rhyme.

In the Qiankun space, the pig demon and the great sage were aware of it, and watched through the open forbidden formation.

The pig demon stuck out his big tongue and said suddenly: "The word master, the tone is like a needle, and my old pig is looking at it here, and I feel a tingling feeling, and the two tremble." ”

The Great Sage's eyes were deep: "It seems that the master is going to move seriously this time." ”

The pig demon's eyes showed a fierce light: "I don't know when we can show our talents, we are bored here all day, and we are about to get moldy." ”

The Great Sage was noncommittal, and suddenly asked, "Ramming, how is your handling technique cultivation?"

When the pig demon boarded, he knew that he was lazy again.

The Great Sage hated iron and said: "Ramming goods, the old man Sanyuan is a god, there must be a big one to do, if you want to help, you have to improve your strength, otherwise you can only be an audience at that time, what's the use?"

The pig demon blushed: "I'll ...... this cultivation"

Ye Junsheng was also quite satisfied with the four characters he had written, and when the ink was dry, he carefully rolled it up, handed it to the housekeeper Lao Zhong, and told him to go out and find a good store and frame it.

With pen luck, borrowing books to lyrical, poured out this pass, and the mood was very good.

Sitting back on the chair, taking a sip of tea, remembering what Li Yifeng said, he asked himself to find Zhao Emei.

Having said that, Ye Junsheng didn't have this plan, firstly, he didn't get to that at all, and secondly, at this time, he didn't even know if Zhao Emei was still in Beijing. Even if they are, they are still in the palace, how can they find people. It was always Zhao Emei who took the initiative to come to him before.

At this time, Ye Junmei knocked on the door and came in, his face a little gloomy.

Ye Junsheng asked, "Jun Mei, what's wrong?"

Ye Junmei said: "Brother, isn't the situation very unfavorable now." I listened to Mr. Li's words, and it seemed to be very bad. ”

Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, with my brother here, it's okay." ”

Ye Junmei clenched his small fists: "Brother, the current Junmei is different from before, I can help." ”

Ye Junsheng smiled: "Of course...... But don't worry, the situation has changed, but brother, I'm not a vegetarian either, right? ”

Ye Junmei said: "Brother, why don't we go to the exam." I'm only afraid that if you go up to the Jinluan Palace, then what prince will use intrigues and tricks against you. ”

Ye Junsheng shook his head: "Many people hope that I don't go, but there are some roads, and I must go." You can wait for your brother's good news at home, and remember to make your brother's favorite steamed fish. ”

Ye Junmei was silent, she knew that the things her brother decided were difficult to change, and she would not regress easily.

The rain began to rain and linger without stopping. The climate is getting colder, and there is a bit of the scene of the wax moon.

The situation in Beijing is further deteriorating, and there is information circulating in the market, saying that today it is said that so-and-so official has been laid out and imprisoned, and tomorrow it is said that so-and-so minister has been dismissed, charged with crimes, and exiled to distant places.

These officials, almost without exception, are all from the side of the second prince, Zhao Kuangming.

Although Zhao Kuangming tried his best to run and move, he had little effect. On the other side of the saint, he was terminally ill and blind, and he slept all day long, and was not allowed to see anyone when he was idle. The entire Forbidden City has been controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like an iron bucket.

I wanted to follow Zhao Emei's path, but as early as the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, she followed her master to leave Beijing, and I am afraid that she would have returned to Mount Emei.

Many people know that after the temple is tried, it will be the final reckoning. Internal and external difficulties, the general trend has gone, and Zhao Kuangming is powerless to return to the sky. (To be continued......)
