Rebirth of the Son of Heart

Although Tang Yuzhong is an outsider, he has good ears and eyes and can see through many things at a glance, which Wei Jingyuan said is incomparable, and he is very curious about how Tang Yuzhong sees through Wei Jingcun's true face!Curiosity is always curiosity, how could Wei Jingyuan ask Tang Yuzhong!

The multi-day examination finally came to an end, and most of the examinees were exhausted physically and mentally. Of course, there were some exceptions, like Tang Yuzhong, who was more courageous and more energetic than ever.Tang Yuzhong ate wine in the restaurant, drank freely, and recited two poems from time to time to add to the fun. Although Wei Jingyuan didn't answer his words, he couldn't hide his joy in his heart.

Wei Jingyuan looked at Tang Yuzhong who seemed to be going crazy, and he couldn't help thinking that when he was still in Yingzhou, he hated Tang Yuzhong so much at that time, but now that he has finished the exam together, he has a deeper understanding of this person.Tang Yuzhong is indeed a rare talent, if he is willing to submit to Liu Yue...

Wei Jingyuan just thought this way, but he didn't put it into action. After all, he knew better than anyone how Tang Yuzhong thought. If he wanted him to do the same for Liu Yue, it would be as difficult as heaven!

Returning home from the restaurant, Tang Yuzhong was so drunk that he passed out and had to be supported by Yuan Bao and his servants before being sent back to his room in the East Wing.Wei Jingyuan didn't drink a few glasses of wine today, and sat at the table in a daze after returning to his room.When he was confused, someone came from outside the door. It was a girl from the main courtyard named Suchun.

"Eldest young master, the master knows that you are returning home, so I let you go there."

Wei Jingyuan blinked, raised his hand and patted his forehead lightly, "Understood, go back and tell father, I'll be there right away." Before Yuan Bao came back, Wei Jingyuan didn't want other servants to change clothes, so he casually slid in the closet After picking out a long robe and changing into it, he hurried to the main courtyard.

The old lady is getting more and more unhappy now, she is bedridden most of the time, she doesn't know when she was so happy today, she changed into happy clothes under the service of the maids, when Wei Jingyuan entered the door, he saw Wei Guohuai talking beside him, seeing There was a smile on his face when he came in.

"Grandmother, father."

"Yuan'er is here, don't be too polite, let's sit down and talk." The old lady knew that Wei Jingyuan was not the blood of the Duke's family, but she still loved Wei Jingyuan a little bit in her heart. If it wasn't for the bad situation, let him do it It doesn't matter if you have a son.Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help showing a bit of sadness and regret in her eyes.

Wei Jingyuan sat down after listening to the old lady's words, Wei Guohuai on the other end moved slightly, frowned and said, "Did you drink?"

Wei Jingyuan didn't hide anything, "Father, today's test is over, so I went to the restaurant for Tang Yuzhong and had a few drinks. I didn't expect to make my father worry."

Wei Guohuai stretched his brows, sighed and said, "It's better to drink less of this wine."

"Yuan'er would like to follow my father's instruction, but I don't know why my father called me here for something?" Wei Jingyuan felt a little pain in his head from drinking, and he didn't want to waste too much time here, so he spoke bluntly.

Wei Guohuai nodded, then looked at the old lady.The old lady waved to Wei Jingyuan with a smile, and after Wei Jingyuan passed by, she took his hand and said: "Your father means to ask the emperor to grant you the heir of the Duke's Mansion."

Wei Jingyuan sneered in his heart, so it depends on his intention to be a son or not?Wei Jingyuan somewhat understood the old lady's thoughts, but the situation was like this, and she couldn't care about herself anymore. As for Wei Guohuai, he never thought of making himself a prince from the beginning to the end, so why try it out!

Wei Jingyuan's thoughts turned very fast, and he soon realized that maybe Wei Guohuai had nowhere to go, so he came up with such a way.It is also a good strategy to do this, to advance is to retreat, if Wei Jingyuan is in the plan, the position of the prince can be kept, if not, the one who gets rid of Wei Jingyuan in the future will be the royal family.

It is true that Wei Jingyuan wants to become an official, but he has never thought of being the number one scholar. May I ask whether the Duke of Yong's government holds a lot of power? attention.Wei Jingyuan didn't think his life was long, but if he was asked to compromise and obey Wei Guohuai, that would be impossible.

Seeing that the old lady was so happy, Wei Jingyuan smiled, "Grandmother, Yuan'er feels that there is no need to rush to the emperor to ask for an order on this matter."

The old lady wondered: "Why?"

Wei Jingyuan responded: "Yuan'er thinks it's more appropriate to wait until the palace examination is released before requesting the decree. Firstly, he has time to prepare, and secondly, it saves others from gossiping, saying that Yuaner is because of his father's official position in the court. I was named one of the top three because I was the son of the prince."

Wei Jingyuan said so convincingly that Wei Guohuai couldn't help coughing a few times, and then asked: "Is Yuan'er really confident that he can pass the imperial examination?"

Wei Jingyuan turned back with a smile, "Could it be that father can't trust the child?"

"That's...very good." Wei Guohuai originally planned to let Wei Jingyuan make his own choice, but now it's better, his "son" is really smart and clever, and he did the same thing and threw the question back.

Wei Jingyuan smiled straight to the bottom of his heart, making it impossible to see any falsehood. After chatting with the old lady for a few words, he asked to resign and returned to the East Chamber.As soon as Wei Jingyuan left, the main courtyard fell into a long period of silence.The old lady mourned, looked at the door and said: "If Yuan'er is your son, why worry about the future of this Duke's mansion."

Wei Guohuai nodded, "Mother, Yuan'er is throwing back the question now, it's really embarrassing for my son not to let him be the eldest son."

The old lady said with a serious face: "You still need to stabilize your mind, how many people in and out of the palace are staring at us, how can you mess up your position, as for the matter of the son, just do as Yuaner said, and wait for the palace examination to be released. Make a decision later.”

The exams started in early February, and in just a dozen days, the Tribute Academy released the list at the end of the month.Wei Jingyuan didn't go out in the mansion that day, but the trustworthy Yuan Bao ran to the Gongyuan, squeezed a place among a group of scholars, and rushed out of the crowd excitedly when he saw three names from the top down, and ran all the way back to the Duke's mansion .

"I've won, I've won..." Yuan Bao shouted as he ran around the east chamber, "Master, you've won...you've won..."

The place where Tang Yuzhong lived was not far from Wei Jingyuan, so he could hear it, and he rushed to Wei Jingyuan's residence with his servant after changing his clothes.

"Did you win?" Tang Yuzhong's first words after entering the door.

Yuan Bao excitedly said: "I won, not only my master won, but you, Young Master Tang, also won."

"Oh?" Tang Yuzhong waved his folding fan with a smile, "Which place is it?"

Yuan Bao cleared his throat, "My grandfather won the first place, and you are the second, the same as the ranking in the provincial examination." After speaking, Yuan Bao hesitated, and added: "The second young master also won, but it was No.4 .”

Tang Yuzhong didn't care about Wei Jingcun, he was anxious to congratulate Wei Jingyuan, "In this way, I will call you Wei Huiyuan from now on."

Hearing this, Wei Jingyuan smiled and said: "It's extremely awkward, you can just call me Jingyuan."

Tang Yuzhong closed the folding fan in his hand, "I thought I would try to be sure of winning this time, but unexpectedly I am still inferior to you. I am really angry."

Wei Jingyuan looked at him, "Are you really angry? Why didn't I see it at all?"

"If you change someone else, you will have to curse, but because you are my best friend, I will give you the position of the first prize. As for the imperial examination, you will not be so lucky. The champion must be me It belongs." Tang Yuzhong vowed firmly, as if he had something in mind.

Wei Jingyuan cupped his hands, "Then I have to congratulate you first." Wei Jingyuan's talent and learning are certainly good, but he is also a person who has lived a lifetime, and it is indeed a bit invincible. Got it.But the number one scholar, Wei Jingyuan had already expected that it would not be his, so there was nothing wrong with congratulating Tang Yuzhong in advance.

The news of Wei Jingyuan's high school reunion quickly spread throughout the capital. This should have been a great happy event, but unexpectedly it became the capital of everyone's laughter. The topic of discussion was nothing more than old wine in a new bottle. Eldest son, it's reasonable for this bastard to take the imperial examination to seek an official career... Rumors like this can't stop coming from all directions, whether it's Wei Guohuai or Chen's, it's like a thousand gold and heavy stones in their hearts.

The imperial examination at the beginning of March is just around the corner, and Wei Jingyuan no longer intends to revise the book anymore. If he predicts that he will be a no.Therefore, it is a blessing for Wei Jingyuan to be able to win two yuan in a row. He himself is very happy. When many people came to congratulate him, Wei Jingyuan greeted him with a smile and never turned him away.

The excitement of several days has passed, and the time for the palace examination has come. Wei Jingyuan entered the palace with all the tributes at the appointed time. The strategy of governing the country for three hours is not worth mentioning to Wei Jingyuan. He just sat on the dragon chair during the examination. The people in the exam would always keep their eyes on him, which made Wei Jingyuan very uncomfortable. What's more, he would get off the dragon chair and walk among every candidate.

From the township examination to the general examination to the palace examination, after layers of selection, those who can come to this palace are not ordinary people, but some of them are immature, and when the emperor walks to them, they will fight. Fear of sweating, what's more, fainting.This kind of thing happens a few times in every palace test, and as the emperor, Liu He has already seen it all. After ordering the servants to carry him down, the test continued.

Wei Jingyuan knew that he had no hope of winning the championship, but he still exhausted all his life's knowledge and wrote a treatise on governing the country within three hours. After the palace servants were handed over to the emperor, Wei Jingyuan was about to follow the tributes out of the palace, but unexpectedly, he was left behind by the emperor's father-in-law.

Wei Jingyuan was curious, and followed the father-in-law to the side hall next to the main hall. At this time, besides the emperor Liu He, there were several ministers in the hall, as well as two academicians from the Hanlin Academy.

"Your Majesty, the son of Duke Yong has arrived."

Wei Jingyuan pulled up his robe and knelt down, "Cao Min kowtowed to the emperor, may the emperor live long and live long."
