reborn monarch

"Is the house tidy?" Gu Zhen raised his hand to ask Sanbao to dress himself. Today is the day when the palace examination will be released. Last night, Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan read the first ten volumes judged by the ministers. Dingjia, so you have to dress more solemnly. Sanbao prepared a set of black dragon robes. It looks solemn and simple, but it is complicated to wear. Gu Zhen was so annoyed that he frowned, and asked Xie Jiuyuan who was standing outside the screen. .

Xie Jiuyuan replied through the screen: "Fortunately, Father-in-law Sanbao has sent someone to help, so the preparations are complete."

Emperor Qi Yuan gave a "hmm" and asked again: "How many days before the family will go to Beijing?"

"The official ship dispatched by His Majesty will arrive in about two or three days," Xie Jiuyuan replied.

Emperor Qi Yuan gave another "hmm" and felt relieved.

The trip to buy a house that day was finally interrupted by an urgent letter from Wangcai galloping.

The urgent letter was a family letter from Xie Jingqing, and it was vague. It only said that he was going to take his sister-in-law and nephew to Beijing, and Xie Jiuyuan was asked to prepare to avoid panic.

The Xie family in Qingxi, which still has a good name, is actually long gone. It's just that the centipedes are dead but not stiff, and they have money and connections, so there is a lot of filth in the clan.Those who are proud of themselves and those in charge will take advantage of it. The family precepts from the ancestors have long been forgotten, and they are not worthy of the title of "Clan of Qingliu Scholar".

Xie Jiuyuan's side branch is only his father, who is not well received by the clan. After his father died, he deliberately charged Xie Jiuyuan's tuition for the enlightenment ethnology that is free and open to the clan. Although my sister-in-law hired a good teacher to teach Xie Jiuyuan, she abandoned her writing and went into business.

Therefore, Xie Jingqing's letter seems to mean going to Beijing to settle down, so something must have happened in the clan.

After Xie Jiuyuan finished reading, even Gu Lan could see that he was worried, so he thoughtfully found an excuse to go back to the palace early, Xie Jiuyuan took Wangcai to the old town in Beijing to inquire about the news, but found nothing, and became more and more anxious.

Probably heard about it from Gu Lan, Emperor Qiyuan even specially ordered the guards to greet him with an official boat. Hearing the news from the guards, his mother, uncle and younger brother are all fine, Xie Jiuyuan is also relieved. Emperor Qiyuan added an extra thank you.

Gu Zhen did these things, half of them were out of love for the house, and the other half was because he wanted to reverse Xie Jingqing's tragic end.

In the previous life, in order to help Xie Jiuyuan, Xie Jingqing obtained the name of an official merchant through Wen Chongde, and filled in his own business name. The main business is two, one is selling salt for the imperial court, and the other is specially supplying silk tea in the south of the Yangtze River.

After getting involved in the officialdom and the Wen Party, it can be said that Xie Jingqing deliberately sent himself to the Wen Party in exchange for Xie Jiuyuan's work so that he would not be restricted by the Wen Party too much.

After Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan gradually became clear about their intentions, facing Xie Jiuyuan, the uncle who was deeply involved in the literary party, their positions were really at odds. For the sake of his safety, they couldn't get close to each other.

In the 13th year of Qiyuan, the salt smuggling case broke out, and Wen Jinli fought back frantically. In order to attack Xie Jiuyuan, who was already the right minister, Wen Chongde handled it alone, erasing the guilt of the Wen Party, and secretly pinning all the crimes on Xie Jingqing.

When Gu Zhen heard the news, Xie Jingqing had already died of injustice in prison.

Xie Jiuyuan was fighting the rebellion in the northwest at that time, and received two news one after another. One was that his uncle had died unjustly in prison, and the other was that the Japanese bandits colluded with internal traitors and deliberately retaliated and slaughtered Qingxi City.

So he turned white all night.

It is impossible for Gu Zhen to sit back and watch Xie Jingqing repeat the same mistakes in his life.

However, at this time in his previous life, he was displeased with Xie Jiuyuan who had taken refuge in Wenxiang, and there were no guards at that time. Therefore, even if he lived a new life, he would only know that Xie Jiuyuan's family had come to Beijing and that Xie Jingqing had spent a lot of money to buy a house. It is not clear how Xie Jingqing made friends with Wen Chongde, and all kinds of things that happened afterwards can only be speculated that Xie Jingqing revealed his wealth at this time, which attracted Wen Chongde's attention.

In order to avoid tragedy, and also to save face for Xie Jiuyuan, Gu Zhen first chose a house for Xie Jiuyuan himself, and then sent guards to welcome his family to Beijing.

In fact, Gu Zhen's move was considered a crooked attack.

In the previous life, Xie Jingqing and Wen Chongde met on the way to Beijing.

At that time, Wen Chongde made up for the vacancy of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Officials. It was just the spring breeze that he held a banquet in the suburbs of Beijing.

It is said that literature is like character.

If Wen Jinli is an out-and-out hypocrite, Wen Chongde is a real villain. His poems, words and sentences have the legacy of Meng De's heroism, but his intentions are often extreme, and his hostility is terrifying. To be able to fake a fierceness similar to pride is to be inferior, and Wen Jinli doesn't like it, and he has been attacked by scribes.

But Xie Jingqing is a character who escapes etiquette and seems to be uninhibited, but in fact he is passionate and loyal.

Fate was unprovoked, and Wen Chongde was in high spirits on happy occasions, and he did two things that day that he would never do in normal times.

One was to agree to Xie Jingqing's request from his servant to borrow water to quench his thirst; the other was to compose a poem. There were only two poems in his life that were not hostile, and the one Xie Jingqing heard was one of them.

True Blood only heard the pride, so he couldn't help but drink hello.

Wen Chongde followed the sound and saw Xie Jingqing, his eyes lit up.

The scholar in Tsing Yi was unparalleled in elegance, with lazy brows, like a green bamboo, clean.

Fascinating.

Fate met by chance, and since then, many calamities have happened.

After finally getting dressed, Emperor Qi Yuan came out from behind the screen and asked Xie Jiuyuan, "How is it?"

Logically speaking, Mo Se should have looked old. Emperor Qi Yuan wore this black dragon robe, except that it further accentuated his fair skin and black pupils, but it didn't add much age to him.However, this should be because the way he looked at Xie Jiuyuan was not the dignified look he usually had when he went to court.

Xie Jiuyuan thought for a while, and told the truth: "It looks good."

Gu Zhen frowned.

Seeing this, Eunuch Sanbao quickly boasted: "Your Majesty is majestic and majestic in this suit."

Xie Jiuyuan's face changed, and he couldn't hold back his smile.

Gu Zhen glared at Xie Jiuyuan, and walked out with his hands behind his back. Father-in-law Sanbao gave Xie Jiuyuan a complaining look, Xie Jiuyuan straightened his expression, and quickly followed Gu Zhen.

early morning.

The Gongsheng students who just went through the intense palace examination yesterday knelt outside the Fengtian Hall early in the morning, waiting for the good news.

The Sanding A scroll that Gu Zhen pointed out was presented on the table, marked with gold paper, and like the other scrolls, it was still sealed.

Under the witness of the officials, the officials of the Hanlin Academy cut the seal of the paper with a golden knife, and copied the name, examination room, and place of origin on the gold list.

In the third year of Qiyuan, Emperor Qiyuan took the first imperial examination in his reign, and the examination was strict. A total of 3 first-class candidates, 36 second-class candidates, and 72 third-class candidates were admitted.Among them, the Jiangnan examination room accounted for half, followed by the Southwest examination room, and the North test room again.

The Jinshi outside the hall knelt down and thanked them for their kindness. One and three entered the hall to see them, while the second and third retreated from the palace. You can order Hanlin only after you have passed the exam.

Three people from Yijia entered the hall, and all the officials were amazed.

It's not that the officials are short-sighted, it's just that the three of them are too young.

First of all, the champion, Yuandou.He is only 24 years old, it is rare to come from the North Examination Center, and he is also the youngest son of Yuan Jiu, the leader of Yuan Anxiwei.It is not unusual for a general to have a champion in the imperial examination.

Let's talk about the second place, Jiang Zaidao.Jiang Zaidao, 25 this year, came from the Jiangnan Examination Center, the first place in the Jiangnan Examination, and led the people to fight hard in the bribery examination case.

The last one is Tanhua, Ma An.Ma An is also from the Jiangnan Examination Center, No.3 in the Jiangnan Examination.He is the oldest of the three, but he is only 30, which is the age in line with the historical age of Sanding Jia.Seeing him strangely, Xie Jiuyuan seemed to have never appeared in the bribery examination case.

Talented people come out from generation to generation.

When Emperor Qi Yuan saw the three people he was familiar with, he also felt sad.

Yuan Dou and Jiang Zaidao were his confidantes in the previous life, one was the general who guarded the northwest, and the other was the minister of Dali Temple who directly fought against the Wen Party.As for Ma An, one of Wen Jinli's two great disciples, he climbed to the position of Minister of the Household Department in his previous life.

The three of them performed the big ceremony, and Emperor Qi Yuan was the first to open his mouth and ordered Yuan Dou.

"In addition to guarding the northwest, General Yuan also trained a champion for Da Chu?"

The Holy Majesty made a joke, and all the officials naturally laughed. Yuan Dou was very polite, but he spoke quite proudly, "Returning to Your Majesty, I wanted to take the martial arts exam, but I didn't know which year it would be held, so I took the Wenju exam first." Try it, and who knows, you will win the number one prize."

As soon as these words were said, except for a few people who found it interesting, most of the champions in the hall stopped laughing. Jiang Zaidao couldn't help but turned to look at him. This kid is really offending talent.

Only then did Emperor Qiyuan remember why this man couldn't stay in the court and ran back to the northwest to fight. He smiled and said to the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Jin Shangshu, I will leave it to you to be the number one scholar. Take it with you and teach me more." If he opens his mouth like this, he might have to go back to the northwest to blow sand in the future."

Jin Shangshu complied indifferently, Yuan Dou did not expect the Holy Majesty to understand his ambition so much, he knelt excitedly, and gave another big gift: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment!"

When it was his turn, Jiang Zaidao sweated in his heart. He came to the capital, and under the slander of the people in the capital, he realized firsthand how Xie Jiuyuan was treated by Emperor Qiyuan. I regretted it, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy when I met the saint.

"Jiang Zaidao, I have heard Mr. Xie report that you were neither humble nor overbearing in the bribery examination case, and you were not afraid of threats from Feng Weixiang. You really have the character of the south of the Yangtze River. Very good, it is what I, a scholar from Chu, should look like."

After being praised by the emperor, Jiang Zaidao tried his best to calm down, "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I just acted according to my heart, and dare not sit back and watch innocent students be wronged."

"it is good!"

Emperor Qiyuan praised again, and nodded to Dali Temple Shaoqing Wang Ze, "Such an upright man, Wang Shaoqing, I will leave it to you to take with me? Let him see how Dali Temple does things."

Although Wang Ze didn't understand why Emperor Qi Yuan ordered him, he stepped out of the class and responded: "I obey the order."

Jiang Zaidao immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! I will definitely live up to my holy hope!"

Xie Jiuyuan raised his eyelids, feeling slightly jealous.

When it was Tanhua Ma'an's turn, Emperor Qi Yuan didn't show his face, and sent this slick, wise and self-protective person to follow Zhou Yushi.Aren't you wise and safe?I just want you to follow the censor to offend people.

Ma An also took the order to thank him. He didn't know that Emperor Qi Yuan did it on purpose, and he secretly groaned in his heart, blaming himself for not getting involved in the Jiangnan examination room in order to protect himself. Emperor Qiyuan put his name there.

After this morning, Emperor Qiyuan was refreshed, and all the officials had thought about it. Generally speaking, the three tripod armors were going to enter the Imperial Academy. Now they are all sent by Emperor Qiyuan to follow their real positions. They must be eager to train them. cronies.

Why cultivate cronies?It goes without saying, it goes without saying.

Complimented in the court, Emperor Qi Yuan was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in the imperial study room, until the three treasures came to remind him that if the butterfly kite in the side hall is not played in the near future, it is better to put it away, and the side hall has no use. People live, afraid of moisture.

"Put it away," Gu Zhen thought for a long time, and ordered, then quickly changed his words, "No, you hang up in Dongnuan Pavilion first."

Three Treasures went away in response.

Gu Zhen looked at the place where Xie Jiuyuan stood when he was the Jinwu guard, and sighed.

Gu Lan had nothing to say to him, so Gu Zhen naturally knew Xie Jiuyuan's careless words that day.

He... did he guess?Why don't you ask, why don't you say anything?
