The sun and the moon change, the four seasons are reincarnated, and it is the Spring Festival solstice of another year, everything recovers, and the world is full of vitality. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this year's spring is a little earlier than in the past, although it is only in early February, but the four spring is full of full of energy. In the same spring, the wind is still as warm as ever, the rain is still as troubled as ever, and things are still as brilliant as ever. However, this spring is different from yesterday, that is, this year is the year of the big examination that everyone in the world is looking forward to - the year of scientific examination.

The capital is worthy of being the imperial capital of a country, and it goes without saying that it is rich and prosperous. The tall and majestic buildings are like rainbows, the flower streets are unforgettable, even the countryside and villages are arrogant, and the spirit of a king is really unique, which makes people feel awe-inspired. The afterglow of the sunset is about to fade, and the wisp of red glow left in the western sky is like the blush on the face of a shy girl, indescribably lovely. The spring breeze blows slowly, gently kissing people's cheeks, making people feel comfortable and warm.

The originally lively Jingji Street was also quiet at this time, and there was still a period of time before the night market, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. At this moment, a young man in his early twenties dragged his tired body and took heavy steps, leading a thin white horse that was not very tall. The man was not tall and strong, of medium height, of thin stature, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and although his face was well-defined, it was full of weather, and at this time he looked extremely ordinary, and not at all outstanding. He led the horse and walked slowly into a not-so-luxurious inn, which was called: "Sancai".

In the end, he was in business, and he greeted Xiao Er from the far away store: "Yo, this objective, is it a tip or a store?"

After that, he ran to lead the horse for the scholar.

The scholar nodded to him, didn't speak, just walked straight into the store and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there still a guest room?"

The tone is low and crisp, weak and weak.

"Yes, there are still many guest rooms! The guest rooms in this hotel are divided into three classes: 'heaven, earth and people', objectively do you want to live in the Tianzi room or the earth-shaped room?" The short and thin shopkeeper glanced at him and said casually, his tone was slightly stiff.

Without waiting for the scholar to answer, the clever Xiao Er had already interjected: "Look at the objective appearance is also here to catch the exam, our store has recently set up a new Tianzi Zhuangyuan Pavilion, objectively want to live there......?

"No, just bring me a cheap one!" Before Xiao Er finished speaking, the scholar cut off.

The shopkeeper said coldly: "Hmph, it's the same way, come and make a record!"

The scholar shook his head, took the brush in the shopkeeper's hand unhurriedly, and wrote the word "Xiao Yun" on his finger in a hurry.

"Don't take him to the No. 1 room yet!" The shopkeeper instructed Xiao Er very impatiently, Xiao Er looked impatient, and only said: "Objective here, please." And he led him away.

Who is Xiao Yun?

Xiao Yun is Yunxiao, but it is Yunxiao after the name change.

Yunxiao came to participate in the scientific examination again, in the past few years, he has traveled all over the world, has gained a lot of knowledge, and he also reads and practices martial arts every day, and he wants to improve both the civil and military sides. It's just that he has never revealed his martial arts, and he didn't dare to use martial arts easily according to Li Zilong's words, so he didn't know the level of his martial arts. However, he changed his previous identity and changed his name to "Xiao Yun" with the help of Hu Yun, because he wanted to come back to participate in the scientific examination and test how far his literary talent had come.

It was also a tiring day on the saddle horse, and the tired clouds woke up at noon on the second day, feeling hungry in their stomachs, and after hurriedly freshening up, they hurried to the front hall to forage for food according to Xiao Er's instructions.

The area of the front hall of the inn is not small, divided into two floors, there are private rooms, the hall alone is enough to accommodate one hundred and ten people, it seems that the business is good today, the inside and outside are full of guests, and the remaining empty seats have only a handful. Yunxiao found a seat by the window in the hall on the first floor and sat down, instructed Xiao Er to serve two dishes at random, and sat down alone and drank tea. While I was drinking, I heard someone at the table next to my left hand asking, "Big brother is a local, right?"

One person replied: "Yes, look at Gongzi's appearance as a scholar from other provinces rushing to take the exam?"

is also a natural affection for peers, Yunxiao can't help but look up. I saw that the person who answered was a short and fat middle-aged man, but the person who asked was a white-faced scholar, who was dressed in gray-white clothes, with a scholar's scarf in his hair, red lips and white teeth, and a rectangular face, extremely handsome.

"Exactly, the scholars of the mountains are ignorant. The eldest brother lives in the imperial city, and he must be familiar with the major affairs in Beijing, so he just wants to ask for a question or two!" A mouthful of crepe words said very politely.

The middle-aged man only said: "Don't dare, don't dare." Hey, Beijing and heavy land, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The so-called big things are just deceit and intrigue!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hearing the mention, the middle-aged man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Yes, you have to be careful these days, otherwise you won't know how to die!"

Seeing this, the scholar couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time didn't forget to lower his voice and ask, "What's the matter, what has happened in the capital in the past few years?"

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the old man had already said: "After all, he is a scholar, he only reads the books of sages and sages, and he doesn't know anything about the world!" coughed twice and continued: "Today, the world is declining. This world has been made smoky by a group of powerful ministers, and everyone is in danger from top to bottom!"

The scholar looked surprised and hurriedly asked, "Oh, what's going on?"

The old man said, "Do you know who are the most powerful people today?"

Without thinking, the middle-aged man blurted out: "Then there is no need to say, in addition to the current emperor, the most powerful are the emperor's favorite concubine Wan Zhen'er and the great eunuch Jiang Zhi." ”

"Wan Zhen'er and Wang Zhi, who are they?" The question was asked by a young man sitting next to the white-faced scholar, wearing gray cloth clothes, and looking at the dress was also a scholar.

The old man smiled: "Hehe, this Wan Zhen'er is not from a prominent background, and it is said that she is a palace maid next to the late Queen Mother." When the emperor was young, it was this Wan Zhen'er who served and accompanied the emperor all the way to grow up. Don't look at the current emperor who is high up now, think about it when he was young, but he was miserable!"

The royal family and nobles, princes and ministers were born with good lives, fine clothes and food, wealth and glory, but also wind and rain, to say who is still unlucky, fate, it is unbelievable. The handsome scholar looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Oh, where does this begin?"

The old man was not in a hurry, picked up the hot tea on the table and blew a few breaths, took a sip, and said: "After the Tumubao Change, the orthodox emperor was captured, and the king of Yu was ordered to be supported in danger as the main one, and it was for Emperor Jingtai. Who knew that the orthodox emperor was released later, and everyone imagined that one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and one country could not tolerate two masters. If you were Emperor Jingtai, what would you do?"

Yunxiao had an introverted personality and was not a man of many words, he only listened patiently without saying a word, only to see the middle-aged man say bluntly: "What else can I do? How can this benefit be so easy for people to get it! Besides, when you were in danger, you threw this hot potato to me, and now that the situation is better and you want me to return to Zhao, how can there be such a good thing in the world, even a fool will not do it!"

The old man said: "It is this truth, so this imperial power is the most inhuman thing in the world. However, our Emperor Jingtai is still merciful, he just imprisoned his imperial brother Orthodox Emperor in the Southern Palace, and the crown prince at this time, that is, the current emperor is the orthodox son, had to be deposed. The old man sighed, paused and asked, "Imagine a deposed young crown prince, will life be good?"

Everyone shook their heads and sighed silently!

The old man said: "In those most difficult days, it was this Wan Zhen'er who depended on each other for his life, and never gave up!"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, as the saying goes, this tribulation sees the truth." Presumably it was in those difficult years that the two formed a deep friendship!"

Later, when she ascended the throne, Wan Zhen'er was not canonized as the queen, but she was a collection of three thousand favors, but whenever she had a request, she did not say a word, so that later the power became bigger and bigger, causing trouble in the harem and doing evil, and now she just turned a blind eye. Speaking of this, the old man looked helpless, shook his head, raised the teacup in his hand and drank the tea.

The middle-aged man was surprised again: "But I heard that this Wan Zhen'er is seventeen years older than today, and when she ascends the throne today, she is almost unconfused, and now more than ten years have passed, why does this emperor favor her alone and endure for a long time?"

When everyone heard this question, they were puzzled, and when they were pondering, they heard a person whisper: "What's this, I'm afraid that this Wan Zhen'er has worked the bed, so that she can be used infinitely, and she can't stop it!"
