Reborn Bastard Supreme

Chapter 252 The Emperor's Mind

In the Gu family, when the new mistress was in full swing and preparing for many things to marry in, Gu Zhisu and Gu Zhiming walked into Chunwei's examination room together.

Just a few days after April, the red list was released on time, Gu Zhiming was not on the list, but Gu Zhisu was lucky enough to participate in the palace examination.

As many students stopped and looked at the four golden and upright characters from a distance, Gu Zhisu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression gradually became half a smile, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared quickly. Hidden without a trace.

Handing the paper in his hand to the eunuch, Gu Zhisu raised his head and looked at the emperor who was sitting on the first throne. His spirit was a little weak, but he supported the emperor who had not fallen, and the emperor was surrounded by worried expressions, eyes Xin Yuanping, who was spinning around, didn't stop until he saw the emperor picking up the ink pen to mark the paper. Then the young man in the green shirt lowered his head and silently pinched his fingers.

Many students waited outside the hall for less than half an hour, and many ministers who stayed in the hall to mark the papers on behalf of the emperor finally came out one by one, and the last one left was the Xuanzhi eunuch in purple robe, who glanced indifferently at the front Everyone glanced at it, lowered their heads and unfolded the imperial decree in their hands, and raised their voices to speak.

"Kneel—" The hundreds of students in front of the hall knew that the rankings had come out, and after they knelt down together, they heard the voice of the Xuanzhi eunuch ringing around their ears under the eaves of the hall.

"First in the first class..."

Gu Zhisu expected that he was born in the Gu family and was always feared by the emperor. Gu Zhisu lowered his head even lower, but before he could breathe out, the sharp voice of the eunuch suddenly reached his ears middle.

"The first one is the third, Gu Zhisu! Awarded to the Imperial Academy as editor! Give a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver!"

Gu Zhisu's heart suddenly sank, subconsciously felt that something was wrong, raised his head to look at the eunuch Xuanzhi, but did not see that the eunuch's expression was wrong, looked at the half-covered door behind the eunuch, the thoughts in his mind turned very fast, flashed across his mind What, his expression slowly sank, he lowered his head and continued to listen to the announcement in silence.

"Second P number, after reading many rankings, those who have already won are all overjoyed, and those who have not won are in pain, and even a few people fainted on the spot, and were quickly dragged away by a few eunuchs. After the eunuch announced that the Qionglin Banquet would be held, and finally closed the Minghuang imperial decree, many fresh Jinshi in front of the hall bowed their heads and kowtowed to the hall door like a bell.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live long live!"

After many students walked out of the palace gate together, the eunuch who had been waiting at the gate of the palace immediately brought the horse and took out the red silk, and carefully handed it to the top three in the first class. Gu Zhisu followed the two in front and took the red silk. Wearing big silk flowers on their bodies, they rode on a big horse and walked towards the street together, but before they could take a few steps, a familiar face appeared among the crowd looking at him from a distance, smiling at him .

There were noisy voices next to his ears, Gu Zhisu suddenly saw that person, he was slightly taken aback at first, and then slowly smiled, after Damade had passed by, he turned his head to look again, but he couldn't see him. After seeing the man's traces, he returned to the gate of the palace after parading, and was whispered by the eunuch about the Qionglin Banquet. When Gu Zhisu turned around, he saw not far away as expected, and stopped It was an ordinary-looking green horse-drawn carriage.

The servant standing outside the carriage saw him immediately, his eyes lit up, and he ran towards him quickly. After saluting him respectfully, he invited him to get in the carriage and talk to the occupants, and waited until he bowed down. The carriage, the smile on the corner of his lips deepened when he saw the person sitting in it clearly.

"Why is Brother Murong here?"

"Today is the day when the results are released, of course I want to come." Murong Yi was sitting in the car, in front of a small table carved with pear blossoms, on which was a jug of wine and two or three plates of beautiful snacks. Sitting down, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, half curious and half teasing, "Tanhua Lang, how do you feel riding a tall horse to visit Mingdu?"

"Brother Murong, don't laugh at me. You are just trying to catch ducks on the shelves. It doesn't seem like you are the number one scholar." Gu Zhisu has known him for a long time. After leaving Mingdu, the relationship has become better and better. Before this time, he and Murongyi often met each other. Sometimes they talked about knowledge and sometimes they just gossiped. Now such conversations are normal, "I was born in the Gu family, and I was born in the Imperial Academy. If you are an editor of the Academy, you can become a servant of the Six Departments in one promotion, and this life will come to an end."

Murong Yi heard what he said, nodded in agreement, and poured him a glass of wine. I have been feared by the Xin family for many years, civil servants do not join the cabinet, do not serve as censors, military officials do not guard the frontiers, and do not leave the capital of Ming Dynasty. In the capital, at least the family is still not far away, if it is a descendant of the Gu family who is a branch, I am afraid that there is no way to return to the hometown other than to resign and hang the seal."

"Family?" When Gu Zhisu heard this word, the corners of Gu Zhisu's lips curled into a sneer. Ever since he lost his relationship with the Jun family and Gu Zhihuai became a cold glass again, except for the person who went far to southern Xinjiang, he almost There is nothing, people who can be called family members, "I have no family members for a long time, it doesn't matter whether I am an official or not, but I have nothing to do, and I don't want to be at the mercy of others."

"It doesn't matter whether it's to be the hand in the dark or to be upright. You just need to know it yourself." Murong Yi knew his ability, and when he said that he didn't want to be manipulated by others, he was a little noncommittal, raised his eyebrows and then whispered He asked, "But when it comes to your family... don't you want to separate your family after you got the honor?"

"The matter of family separation is still under consideration." Gu Zhisu shook the wine in his glass, thinking that he was appointed as an official today, and he was still inexplicably become a Tanhua. He knew his own paper, so as not to attract attention, he specially wrote it in a very old-fashioned way, He guessed in his heart the emperor's intention, maybe he wanted him, a member of the Gu family, to assist the prince in accomplishing his mission, the smile on his lips became more and more secretive.

"However, in the prestigious compound, Gao Tang still has the rule of not dividing the family. If I really want to separate the family, I will definitely be unable to move. Moreover, the royal family sent people to watch Xin's death. It took a long time to let the coffin be built. In the past few months, although the Xin family has been buried and the royal family has allowed my father to marry a bride, I heard one thing."

"Oh?"

"Xin's death, the royal family thought it was strange, and they were not prepared to let it go."

Murong Yi sat sideways in the carriage, the semi-dark light illuminated half of his beautiful face, and his slightly raised lips showed a bit of mockery: "Does the royal family think that Mrs. Xin's death is strange, or do they think it's strange?" Isn't it time to die?"

Gu Zhisu thought back then that the Xin family intended to assassinate Murong Yi, but was plotted against by Murong Yi's backhand, and his expression was a little subtle. The Xin family became the main concubine of Yi Wang, really relying on the power of Yi Wang Concubine and the eldest princess. There are quite a few people who have been offended inside or outside the mansion.

After her death, the noble lady in Mingdu came to pay her respects because of King Yi's face, but in fact, she didn't feel any regret or pity about her death. It can be seen that although the Xin family was arrogant and comfortable for many years when they were alive, there was no real one. The alliance felt any doubt about her death, including the royal family's suspicion of her death, but it was just to save face.

"In my opinion, there are both. Although the concubine of the Gu family married into the palace, the alliance between the two surnames of Xin and Gu has been settled, but the original son of the two families of Xin and Gu did not successfully inherit the position of the Gu family. The death is unclear, presumably the emperor was reminded by Xin's death, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he took advantage of Xin's death to investigate."

Although Murong Yi didn't know what role Gu Zhisu played in the death of the two sons of the Xin family, but now the two of them had long been on the same boat, and they moved towards Gu Zhisu after hearing the words. Cup, smiled and lowered his voice: "If there is a need, don't be polite to me."

"It's natural." Gu Zhisu also picked up the cup, and after looking at him, he lightly clinked the glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. He felt the freshness and fragrance between his lips and teeth, not as spicy as other spirits. He couldn't help giving a compliment before continuing, "Presumably, if there is no result for a period of time about Gu's matter, there will be no further investigations, and Murong's newly married Gu family will not want to be controlled by the emperor. The ex-wife who is already dead and has a legitimate child, even if she really wants to investigate, she will definitely use means. She grew up in a deep house compound, especially for those who have experienced a lot of suffering. The means are probably extraordinary. imagined."

When Murong Yi heard him say that Murong's family had experienced hardships, the expression in his eyes changed a little, thinking that this girl was hated by the emperor at the beginning, but now she can make the concubine change the order and make the emperor marry Yi Wang Gu Wenmian, the method must be very unpopular And: "When Murong's daughter marries in, she suddenly becomes your aunt. It's justifiable to embarrass you. As the man of the eldest family, you must be careful yourself."

"I know." Gu Zhisu looked at the wine glass in his hand and said in a low voice, "After she married for a while, I'm afraid she will have to worry about having a child, and my father is very anxious."

"He doesn't have a son under his knees now, but he can't tolerate the rampage of a concubine, especially me - this time, even if I am directly awarded the servant, he will not be satisfied with me, but because of the royal family's face, he will not be satisfied on the surface." Show it, but when I return to the Gu family, he will definitely come to me and warn me, saying that even if I really become the No. [-] scholar, I am just a bastard, don't think about Gu's family fortune and title."

Murong Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, only thinking that this matter sounded a bit ridiculous: "Your father is already old and doesn't value the grown-up son, but still wants a son-in-law?"
