Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

As the exam is approaching, a group of students are preparing intensively.

The exam will be ready in a few days, and no one dares to relax, but at this moment, bad news came from the capital.

The emperor died!

After the emperor died, his trusted eunuch read out the emperor's will to all the civil and military officials and the royal children: "God, the emperor decrees that I have passed away, and the country cannot be without a leader for a day. The crown prince He Cong will succeed to the throne immediately~"

General He had seen the situation clearly a long time ago and knew that the Sixth Prince He Hai had lost power. Now, apart from the Seventh Prince, there was no one more suitable candidate in the royal family than him.

In order to prevent any unforeseen incidents and someone taking advantage of the situation to cause chaos, he had already sent heavy troops to guard the area to ensure that the Seventh Prince could succeed to the throne smoothly. Although the other princes were dissatisfied, they could not do anything about it.

Because of the national mourning, wedding and funeral ceremonies are prohibited across the country. Even the provincial examination that was scheduled for the end of February has been postponed to a later date to be determined.

Apart from this, all other large-scale activities are prohibited.

The new emperor ascended the throne, named Emperor Renwu of Hanzhong. After a thorough investigation, the subordinates of the Sixth Prince He Hai were stripped of their power and wiped out, leaving behind some small fry who could not accomplish anything.

As for Concubine Ling, she was also placed under house arrest and banished to the cold palace, under the pretext of three years of mourning. She was not allowed to contact the outside world, which cut off her hopes.

As for Ji Ming, because he was involved in too many things, his house was also raided. The brothels and gambling houses that He Hai owned all over the country were also raided by local authorities.

As for the brothel madams and gambling house managers, they were all arrested and newcomers were sent to replace them.

In just half a month, the Dazhi Dynasty was completely reshuffled. Anyone who had been close to the six kings was investigated, and they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

For a time, those who had been close to the Sixth King were in a state of panic, fearing that they would get into trouble.

As for the Sixth Prince He Hai, all the people in the Prince's Palace were under house arrest and were not allowed to go out. Everyone was afraid of the Sixth Prince's Palace and kept a distance from it.

Shen Ping was not surprised when she heard the news. After Shen Yang returned to Beijing, she had a general understanding of the situation in the Dazhi Dynasty.

Now that the Seventh Prince has ascended the throne, Shenyang must have contributed a lot. However, from the recent gossip, Shen Ping couldn't help but feel a little worried about Shenyang (also known as the Tenth Prince He Li).

When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbits are dead, the dogs are cooked. From ancient times to the present, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, he will eliminate the ministers left over from the previous dynasty.

In addition to this, he would also be wary of those who had supported him to the throne, including loyal ministers. Now that the Seventh Prince had obtained the throne he wanted, he was no exception.

Before he ascended the throne, he was grateful to He Li because he had only one younger brother supporting him. If it weren't for him, his position as crown prince would not have come so smoothly, let alone ascending the throne.

But there was a problem. He Li was unruly by nature. Among so many brothers, he pushed his elder brother, the Seventh Prince, to take the throne. After the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, he did not restrain his words and did not distinguish between the monarch and his subjects.

This made Emperor Renwu dissatisfied, and he thought He Li was very disrespectful. However, considering that He Li had contributed a lot in supporting him in the past, although he was dissatisfied, he did not show it.

After Emperor Renwu ascended the throne, it was soon mid-March and the imperial court issued a notice to resume examinations in various places.

Although Wuchun and Xu Hao took the exams at the same county government office, they were in two separate places.

The exam is conducted in a small grid of approximately one square meter and lasts for three consecutive days with five sessions. Students are required to provide their own food.

Shen Ping gave He Yao a holiday in advance so that he could concentrate on reviewing for the exam. Shen Ping prepared a lot of dry food a day in advance, intending to bring it to Wuchun and Xu Hao, and to take He Yao along as well.

Shen Ping went to the mall and bought a lot of bread and biscuits, and Si Ya made some long-lasting pastries. In addition, she also prepared a few packets of instant noodles for them and told them to just soak them in boiling water.

Shen Ping also prepared the same thing for He Yao. She saw that He Yao only had a small bag, which she estimated contained only a few gray breads, steamed buns and the like.

He Yao said embarrassedly: "Madam Shen, don't bother you to spend money, my mother has prepared some dry food."

Shen Ping had a stern face and pretended to be angry: "Don't be polite to Auntie, you are Wuchun's teacher, and this is not a valuable thing, it's better to be prepared. If you want to repay me, then take the exam well and fight for it."

"Thank you very much, auntie!" He Yao then accepted it.

In order to prepare for the exams and fear of being late, many students arrived in Heyang County in advance, making it difficult to find a house.

As the exam was not yet up, He Yao had to stay in Heyang County for one night. However, the inn was overcrowded, so he had no choice but to squeeze in with Wu Chun for the night.

The next day, the exam officially began. The students gathered in the examination room. The invigilator arranged which room the candidates would take the exam in and then locked the door.

This door is like a fence, and one can clearly see the situation of the candidates inside from the outside. Xu Hao will take three consecutive exams here, each lasting three days, and will have to stay here for a total of nine days and six nights.

Everyone was ready for the test, after all, this was the most important moment in life. It was not the first time for Xu Hao and He Yao to take the test, so they were already familiar with it.

Seeing that this year's invigilator was not a familiar face from previous years, He Yao felt hopeful and couldn't help but say to himself.

The emperor has ascended the throne, and even the blood in the examination room has been replaced. My chance has come, and I must seize it.

As for Xu Hao, his mood this time is different from usual. In previous years, he didn't care, but this year is different. He said that he would pass the exam and marry Mo Ru. This time he is very confident~

……

In order not to put pressure on Wuchun, Shen Ping did not say much. Apart from bringing him some dry food and saying a few words of encouragement, she left the academy.

She knew that the exam was approaching and if she said too much, it would cause him inexplicable pressure, so she just let him perform as usual.

Anyway, she couldn't worry about it, and she couldn't help much. When the exams were over, she would ask Dadong to take them back. As for Shen Ping, she had other things to do.

It is March now, and it is time to plant rice seeds. It rained last night, and Heyang County has entered a rainy mode.

Many people were busy cultivating rice fields. Shen Ping talked to the village chief and asked him to tell the villagers that she had some high-yield rice seeds and the yield per mu could reach about 1000 kilograms.

50 wen per jin, only half a jin of rice seeds are needed for one mu. Those who are interested can buy from me. In addition, Shen Ping also posted a notice in the workshop, the content of which is roughly as above.

As soon as the news came out, the villagers were shocked. It was impossible to produce 1000 kilograms per mu. Almost everyone was an expert in growing crops, and the best yield per mu would not exceed 400 kilograms.

Everyone was skeptical and undecided. After all, 50 cents per pound of rice seeds was indeed a bit expensive.

Shen Ping gave five kilograms of rice seeds to her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and asked them to plant the rice seeds she gave them because they were high-yield rice seeds. She also told them that if they planted them well, the government would buy them.

Li was skeptical, but she thought that she wouldn't have to spend her own money to buy the rice seeds, and she could trust Shen Ping now. Zhang Tiezhu shared the same opinion as her and thought that they could give it a try.

As for her mother's family, Shen Ping asked Dadong to send 10 kilograms of rice seeds over there, telling them that they must believe in her words and plant these rice seeds no matter what.

Now, Shen Dong and his brothers believed Shen Ping's words without a doubt. Since their sister had given them such instructions, they had no objection.

The old mother, Ni, divided the 10 kilograms of rice seeds equally, giving each son kilograms, because the family had been divided up before, and the field was also divided up.

As for the rice seeds they have, if there are any left, Ni said they could consider giving them to their father-in-law.
