Domineering Daming

I was worried, and I couldn't argue with Empress Zhang, so I could only follow Empress Zhang to Jingyang Palace with a restless heart.

Cao Huachun greeted him earlier, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the Queen Mother and Miss Wang."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded lightly, looking inside.

Wang Yuyang had a terrible headache, and when the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, who was polite even when seeing the six ministers, greeted her, she could only bow back in a hurry, not daring to say a word.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't see Zhu Xu, she turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Where's your majesty?"

Cao Huachun bent down again, and said, "Go back to the queen mother, the emperor just fell asleep."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, and immediately said: "Is it sick again? Have you seen the imperial doctor?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said: "The emperor just feels a little tired, so he wants to sleep for a while, and let the slaves wake him up if they have something to do."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded worriedly, while Zhu Xushi was like her half son. She was more thoughtful about him than Xiao Yongning. I don’t have a woman, so it’s inevitable that I’m careless, this time the illness is very serious, and I’ve been in a coma for several days, Miss Wang, you just have to work hard and take care of him in the emperor’s bedroom for a few days..."

Naturally, Wang Yuyang could hear the exaggeration in Queen Mother Zhang's words, even if she had a cold and a fever, there was nothing dangerous about it, but she couldn't say anything.Hearing Empress Dowager Zhang's intention to send her to the Emperor's Dragon Bed, she struggled in her heart and said, "Empress Dowager, are you...too anxious..."

Empress Dowager Zhang naturally knew this, and said with a soft smile: "The rules in the palace are all for outsiders to see. The most important thing is the emperor. You take care of it. In the future, a noble concubine will be indispensable..."

Seeing what Queen Mother Zhang said became more and more naked, Wang Yuyang, who had no room to refuse, had a headache and didn't know how to face Zhu Xu.

As Zhu Xu grew older, Empress Dowager Zhang also had to avoid one or two taboos. She stood in front of the bedroom door and confessed to Wang Yuyang: "You stay in the emperor's room for a few days. After the big marriage, slowly rise up, inconspicuous, don't worry..."

Empress Dowager Zhang is now fully incarnated as the mother of an arranged marriage, and she is extremely eager.

Wang Yuyang's cheeks were hot, and he was neither advancing nor retreating, so he secretly prayed that the emperor would wake up now and reject the "good intentions" of Queen Mother Zhang.

But no, the voice inside could still be vaguely heard.

Empress Dowager Zhang pushed Wang Yuyang in, then turned to Cao Huachun and said with a stern face: "Look carefully, if the emperor has anything to do, immediately send the imperial physician to inform me, don't delay, you know?" She still hated Cao Huachun and others for letting Zhu Xu sleeping with wet clothes.

Cao Huachun also noticed it, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, this servant knows."

After finishing speaking, Queen Mother Zhang glanced at Wang Yuyang again, smiled and left, leaving behind Wang Yuyang who had already entered Zhu Xu's bedroom.

Wang Yuyang glanced at Zhu Xu's bedroom. Except for the huge bookcase, a table and chairs, there was only a big bed. The emperor's sleeping position was very indecent, half wrapped in the quilt, almost lying on the bed.

Cao Huachun watched Empress Dowager Zhang leave, walked in to look at Zhu Xu, and said softly to Wang Yuyang, "Miss Wang, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the emperor's bedroom."

Wang Yuyang was surprised at first, but then he was overjoyed. He quickly walked out and said to Cao Huachun, "Yes, Eunuch Cao... that... can I leave the palace now?"

Cao Huachun was stunned, he really didn't care about this, thought for a while and said: "Miss Wang, I need to ask the Queen Mother for instructions on this matter."

How dare Wang Yuyang go to see Queen Mother Zhang, and now she has no way to leave the palace, she frowned, forced herself to calm down, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Eunuch Cao, then, what should I do now, there are many cases in Shuntian Mansion waiting for me manage……"

Wang Yuyang's words immediately reminded Cao Huachun of the incident that Fu Changzong and the others came just now, and his smile suddenly increased, and he said: "Miss Wang, don't worry, there are no fewer cases in the palace than outside. When the emperor wakes up, there may be more cases." I have a big case for you."

Wang Yuyang cheered up when he heard this, and said, "Eunuch Cao, can you reveal something first?"

Cao Huachun turned sideways, motioned Wang Yuyang to go outside, and smiled at the same time: "There is nothing specific, but next year's imperial examination questions have been leaked in advance."

Wang Yuyang's eyes lit up. This is a big case that will inevitably involve senior court officials. She tried to keep herself calm and asked as she walked, "Isn't next year's imperial examination still half a year away? Why did the test questions get leaked?"

Cao Huachun smiled, with a hint of disdain in his tone, and said, "It's not the imperial examination questions that have been decided, but the mock questions given by the professors of the Royal Political Academy. There are no imperial examination questions yet."

Wang Yuyang put his hands behind his back unconsciously, with a look of contemplation on his face, and said softly to himself: "So, the inside of the Royal Political Council must also know about it, so there are only two possibilities. Either it was done by someone outside who didn't know, Or there are people with ulterior motives inside, but what is their purpose for doing this..."

Cao Huachun listened and smiled without saying a word.

This matter is irrelevant to him, or to the emperor, and the imperial examination will proceed as usual.

But Wang Yuyang kept thinking. He went out of the door of the side hall, looked up at the sky, his pretty face against the sunlight, and was still thinking about this question.

"What is the purpose? Is it just to sabotage this imperial examination? Or is there some other ulterior conspiracy..." she whispered to herself.

Cao Huachun looked at Wang Yuyang's back, his habitual movements, his face moved slightly, which was really similar to the emperor.

Naturally, Wang Yuyang couldn't think of a way out of such wild guesses, but Cao Huachun was too tight-lipped, she couldn't ask anything, and was finally arranged to "rest" in another side room, but she still couldn't help thinking about this big case.

The Ministry of War has been busy even after the flood, and this year's martial arts is about to start.

I don't know how many Wuju people who rushed to the capital from all over the Ming Dynasty wanted to stand out in this year's competition and get promoted to the military.

Sitting on a tall horse from Liaodong, the high-spirited young man has been wandering around the capital these days. Fortunately, he is different from other people.

He is fond of martial arts, and he always carries a sword wherever he goes, and when he sees someone who looks like a martial artist, he can't wait to go up to them to learn from each other.

In a martial arts teaching field in Daying West of Beijing, two young people were watching from the edge, chatting casually, one of them said: "Uncle Chang, don't you have the shadow of your ancestors? Why do you still have to come to the capital to take the martial arts exam?"

Chapter 460

Wu Sangui, courtesy name Changbo.

Wu Sangui looked at the huge martial arts arena, his eyes glowed with blazing light, and said: "You don't know, the family of the Jinyiwei was sealed by the ancestors, and now they can't join the army. If you want to join the army, you must start as a soldier or use martial arts. .”

Next to Wu Sangui is Wu Qilong, a native of Jiangsu, with no family background, and came to Beijing for martial arts, he nodded and said: "That's true, the former Yinfeng can only get a little salary now, and he has to rely on himself to get promoted. .”

This kind of reform is naturally extremely gratifying to Wu Qilong, at least people from poor families like them have more chances to be promoted to official positions.

Although this kind of reform dissatisfied those nobles who were secretly sealed, but they were not afraid if they were truly capable, and Wu Sangui was like this.He was born in the Wu family, a rich family in Liaodong. The Wu family has in-laws with the same wealthy ancestors. His father is Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Jiangsu, and his uncle is Dashou, the general soldier of Jinzhou, Liaodong. It can be said that his family background is quite prominent.

But he still rode a white horse and entered the capital wearing a green shirt, just for martial arts.

Wu Sangui's eyes were staring at the martial arts arena rather fiercely. This is the martial arts arena of the Jingxi Camp. People compete here every day. Occasionally, Lu Guogong Zhang Zhiji, the chief soldier of the Jingxi Camp, will come in person, and he will meet someone he likes. Directly incorporated into the Jingxi camp.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who come to try their luck.

Naturally, Wu Sangui didn't come here for Zhang Zhiji, he wanted to try the masters in the capital.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wu Sangui to stand up, grab the spear and leap onto the ring, and as soon as he raised his hand to the ring guard, he began to fight.

Wu Qilong watched from below, and nodded secretly. Although this Wu Sangui was born in a general family, he did not have the arrogance of a child of an aristocratic family, and his martial arts were not simple, especially if he did not rely on his family background to show off his might. .

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Wu Sangui swung his spear, forcing the original ring guard off the stage and becoming the new ring guard.

The next five people in a row were not his opponents. In the huge arena, Wu Sangui was alone in the middle, without any opponents, quite imposing.

After waiting for a while and no one came to the stage, Wu Sangui turned around and landed on Wu Qilong, and said excitedly: "Brother Wu, let's fight for a while, if you are idle, you are idle."

Wu Qilong was not a combative person, but after watching it for a long time, his heart was itchy, so he picked up his long knife and went up.

Wu Sangui was tall and strong, Kong Wu was powerful, he looked at Wu Qilong with piercing eyes, and said: "Brother Wu, I am used to using a long spear, and its strength is amazing, so be careful!"

Standing on the ring, Wu Qilong's aura gradually changed, with a big knife across his body, he said solemnly: "Uncle, you have to be careful, I have cut down many bandits with this long knife!"

After the two finished speaking, they strode together and fought with spears and swords. After a few moves, Wu Sangui was surprised. He thought Wu Qilong was a Confucian general, but he didn't expect to have such martial arts. His expression became more excited, and he didn't hold back any more. .
