Chapter 115: The Death of a Talented Son

Look at the blue sky, enter the red palace of Baizhang, step on the bluestone road, and step into the green pillar palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hundreds of officials went to court, and the three of them talked and laughed and pondered. Only the protector and the second prince looked at each other from a distance and smiled, and the momentum of ambition made the dynasty embarrassed.

The kings and the civil and military officials stood in two rows and shouted in unison: "See the king!"

The king Chen Su was abnormal, as if he smelled the abnormal smell in the palace, and raised his hand to signal the ministers to level down, the kings were the protectors of the country before, and then the second prince, and then the prince Deng.

"Today's opening of the dynasty is just for one thing," the king raised a finger and fell suddenly, "It's tomorrow's literati Wang Kao, how is the second prince prepared?"

"Back to the king," the two kings took a step forward, "after the primary election of each city and the re-election of the region, the total number of Wenzi who participated in the royal examination is fifty-eight, plus the five people who are ordered by the king, and the total number of people in the royal examination in the twentieth year of the king's calendar is sixty-three; except for the talented son of the king's order, all the candidates have been properly settled, and they are only waiting for the examination to start tomorrow." ”

"Okayβ€”" The king got up with a little interest and walked into the central passage of the hundred officials, "Some people say that this king has already ordered the literati of the king, and he will order the king's talents to enter the palace among the top five scholars...... Protector, you speak first!"

King Chen arched his hand and replied: " No matter who is chosen, it is the king's order, and the ministers will naturally obey the king's orders, and will never slack off; as for the king's selection of a few people, what position is granted, the old minister did not sleep soundly last night, so he also pondered carefully, and the words of the master of the elegant room of the Japanese scholar are not unreasonable, if in a few years, the old ministers in this palace estimate that there are more and more people who can't walk, and then they are in a hurry to choose, I am afraid that they will be at a loss, and there will even be flaws that lead to poor employment of state affairs, there are not a few people in this palace who are over the age of sixties, and the ministers think that it is good to enter more; as for what kind of official position is given, the old minister thinks that the second king is appropriate, and he has the right to participate in politics, and he can also be directly the king after the kings abdicate one by one。 It's just ......" King Chen stopped, seemingly encountering a problem.

The king paced to King Chen's side and said meaningfully, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

King Chen coughed dryly and replied: "This is the first time that the king has selected a student to enter the court, and he must give an explanation to the talented people in the world. ”

"What about the opinion of the protector?" the king thought to himself, are you really for the sake of the government, or are you counting the people in the elegant room who can't win the championship?

"The old minister has the courage to return to the court, can you consider directly sealing the king, assisting the second prince to sort out the affairs of the world, and can also help the old minister take care of the official punishment, after all, the old minister is over sixty years old, and sometimes he is unable to do it......"

Directly crowned king?!

The king's heart was cold, and he unconsciously walked towards the royal platform, his brows furrowed together, if according to the opinion of the protector, this king is the top of the list to cooperate with the civil and military powers, but it is equal to the position of the protector and the prince. He stopped in front of the throne and didn't turn around, not wanting the ministers to find out what he was hesitant, and asked in a low voice, "Second Prince, what do you think?"

"The minister echoes the view of the protector of the country, such as today's prosperity, it is the opportunity to cultivate young people, and lay the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the southern kingdom, and the minister thinks that no less than five people are the most suitable to enter the palace......;

Five!

The king secretly shouted, I didn't expect the two of you to plot so well!

"Prince Deng!" the king took another step forward, still with his back to the courtiers.

"Back to the king, the five math sons entered the court, the old minister still felt more, this court instantly entered the five people, it is really not easy to control," he naturally hopes that the king will have one person on the list, and then he can suppress King Chen and the two kings, he is old and has no real talent to worship the door, of course he knows that the fifty-eight people are all in the hands of the two, and the king's talents are all people with lofty ideals, and there is no certainty of winning the title, "As for the official position at the top of the list, I hope the king will think twice......"

Everyone in the hall could understand this, and King Deng watched the first young courtier return to King Chen and the second king, and the old prince was naturally not a taste.

The king turned around suddenly, knowing that he couldn't stop him if he wanted to, so he said in a loud voice, "In the opinion of this king, he allowed all the top five people on this list to enter the court, lest you say that this king favors one over the other; He finally believed what the queen said, this time the dynasty will definitely be mentioned by someone to mention the top of the list, it is better to take advantage of the momentum to attract the top of the list, if directly allowed, the student will definitely thank the protector and the two kings, and his own sealing, will definitely bring back some disadvantages, maybe it will be used by himself, "This king wants to set up the position of the palace in this court, give the first place of the literati, the position of the prince of Qi, and lead the views of non-king officials!"

The kings were in turmoil for a while, and the position of this palace not only brought together the protector and the two princes, but if he commanded the officials who were not kings, wouldn't it become under one person and above ten thousand? !

The protector and the two kings suddenly fell into a dilemma, obviously they wanted to promote the top of the list, no matter who they were, they were two people, they could take care of each other, and now they suddenly rose sharply, their status soared, and they even secretly had a more powerful prince's power. To refute means to slap yourself in the mouth, to go back on your word, and to go along with it is to give up a piece of royal power!

King Deng was scheming, and immediately impressed by the king's ingenuity, no matter who the doorman was, it was the king's intention to worship the king, and it could also be of some benefit to himself, and he suddenly shouted before the protector and the second king spoke: "The old minister echoed!"

When the kings heard that King Deng actually obeyed the protector and the two kings, they all said: "The ministers are in harmony!"

The officials also said in unison: "Obey the king's decree!"

The Lord Protector and the Second King each secretly cursed their own kings, but it was too late.

The king's order is not far away, the officials and people of the capital are all moved, this session of the literati Wang Kao can be described as the spirit of the people of the world, the top of the list, regardless of the age, directly become the palace, is the first courtier in the south, once the royal order echoes and refutes the average, since this person can win, because there are non-king officials in his hands.

The king was the first in history to gradually establish a higher position of political officials than the king similar to the prime minister in the court, laying the foundation for the change of the royal system.

There was silence in the elegant room of the study, Wentu never expected that Wang Kao would be so valued by the imperial court this time, and stared at Su Shi and the others in a daze.

Su Shi grinned: "The king is really wise, the prince of the protector and the second prince proposed the first king, it was an exception, knowing that it could not be refuted, so he simply added the seal, no matter who won this honor, he will not forget the favor of the king, it is really clever!"

Wentu couldn't listen to it at all, and said: "Brothers, the success or failure of my scholar's elegant room is in one move, and more literati and artists in the world are also looking forward to the scholar's elegant room, the master of this room hereby asks you not only to show your talents, but also to be cautious in your words and deeds, and not to slander the government in vain, as for the royal system, that is something that can only be said after entering the dynasty! Tomorrow is the king exam, but unfortunately Lian Gai can not participate, you and the other four will represent the mortal students, sing a four sons to make the king exam, everyone, it's getting late, let's go to bed immediately." ”

The candle light in the study's room is extinguished.

Time passed a moment, and there was no one on Jing Street near Choushi.

The first quarter moon stared alone at the land of the capital, and gradually disappeared with the heat.

Suddenly, several masked people came from all around, the speed must be a martial arts master, and the dry firewood in his hands was ignited and set up all around, and the gatehouse of the scholar's elegant room was all wooden, and it was summer, and the red flames immediately rose to the sky!

A man rushed from a distance, and suddenly saw that the fire had risen and jumped to the roof, he couldn't believe that the masked man on the ground was so fast!

Seeing this, the soldiers who were secretly guarding the elegant room of the study room shouted and rushed to the place where the fire started, but where could it be this secret opponent, they couldn't enter at all, and with the screams of several people, the fire engulfed the first floor of the wooden room.

Wentu suddenly heard a strange noise, and he already smelled the smell of dry fire, and someone set it on fire!

He turned over and copied Wang Mu, kicked open the door of Su Shi's room and shouted: "Get up quickly, someone has set fire!"

At this time, the fireworks had already rushed upstairs, and there was no way downstairs, Wentu raised his hand to the roof with a loud shout, and suddenly a cracked hole appeared on the top, he hurriedly picked up Su Shi and the situation next to him, but what about the other two, Murong Zheng and Fuzidan hurriedly pushed Wentu and shouted: "The master of the room, go away!"

It was too late to think about it, Wen Tutem got up and jumped out of the roof, at this moment a person jumped into the house, the fire struck, he grabbed the master Dan, and then went to snatch Murong Zheng, but he couldn't do it anymore, seeing that the dry fire had burned to the leg of his trousers, Murong Zheng pushed the man away and shouted: "Hurry up, tell you that you must do well in the exam! I, Murong is listening to the good news under the nine springs!"

The person who came jumped up suddenly, stepped on the crumbling roof of the building and jumped to the next floor, only to see the two of them holding the hoarse Wentu, seeing the elegant room collapse in an instant, but the Wentu and the person who came again picked up the three of them and disappeared into the night along the ridge of the building.

Wentu wanted to cry without tears, and in the blink of an eye, Murong was buried in the fire!

Several people fled to a forest, it was pitch black, and Wentu asked the visitor: "Thank you for the rescue, may I ask Your Excellency?"

"The owner of the room, under the cheap cover!"

"Lian Gai?" Wentu was puzzled.

"Exactly, if there is a hero, it must be Murong Zheng, Lian is ashamed that he can't afford to carry the two, in order to get me out as soon as possible, he jumped into the fire. ”

"We will definitely choose a day to bury Murong Zheng and worship the soul of the hero," Wen Tu burst into tears, it was his own study room that killed Murong Zheng, "It's good to come, it's good to come!"

Su Shi and the others gritted their teeth even more, but they were powerless to return to the sky.

Wentu was deeply saddened and said: "If there is no scholar's room, how can Murong Zheng give his life in vain." ”

"The master of the room doesn't have to blame himself, I don't think Murong Zhengding will regret it, we are all dead," Su Shi comforted, "I never took my life to heart, Murong Zheng died as a confidant, and he should have become a hero, as long as we go all out to get good results in the exam, he will be extremely relieved in the Spirit of Heaven!"

Lian Gai and others should be.

"Brother Lian, the master of the room has been thinking so hard, but why are you delayed?" asked Master Zidan in a trembling voice.

Lian Gai sighed deeply: "I came to the capital ten days ago, and I have been secretly guarding the elegant room of the study, but I don't know where such a master came from, and I instantly set fire to the wooden room, even if I see it, I can't go downstairs to get out, and there are soldiers outside the building to guard, but I can't enter the front at all, but fortunately, the master of the room has a unique skill to protect you." ”

At this time, Guo Ming and the others found out that Wentu's martial arts were so strong, and they felt that the room owner was confused.

"Today's exam, I want to go on behalf of Murong Zheng, no matter what ranking, I will never dishonor his reputation!" Wentu wept like a complaint, everyone knew that all this came from the hands of King Chen and the second king, "Since it has already started, you must be more careful in the king exam tomorrow, and I will enter to protect you, as long as you do your best with your heart!"

A few people rested on the spot, and as soon as the day dawned, they quietly approached the examination room, hastily ate breakfast, and saw that the candidates entered one after another.

"Fifty-eighth, is there anyone else?" shouted the guard.

"Yes!" Wentu shouted, appearing from the corner next to him, followed by Su Shi and the other four!
