Lin Gongzi medicine jar

When Mrs. Tai woke up, it was already the first lights, and the room was quiet, with a faint figure.

She felt that she was really old, that shadow was like the jewel in her palm, her eye sockets couldn't help getting moist.

Lin Xi approached the bed with the medicine bowl in hand, just in time to see a tear falling from the corner of Mrs. Tai's eyes, her heart was scalded with a scar in vain, and the hand holding the bowl could hardly hold herself.

He opened his mouth, and then reluctantly called out, "Grandmother."

The figure became clearer, Mrs. Tai's eyes were in a trance for a moment, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin Xi, "Xi'er, I dreamed about your mother, she blamed me for not taking good care of you."

The scars in her heart were torn open, and the pain spread out. Lin Xi resisted, pretended to be calm, and put the bowl on the small table beside the bed, patted it with her backhand, and comforted: "I also dreamed about my mother, she looks so beautiful. Happy, she said that I am lively and healthy, so I finally don’t have to worry. She also said that this is all thanks to my grandmother, so I must honor you well.”

No matter the truth or not, Madam Tai was happy to hear these words, but when she thought of Zhao Jingyi's words during the day, she became sad again.

"How could you have thought that such a thing would happen to you, the Hou Fu owes you!"

This refers to the fact that Xiao Jinxin spread rumors, but Zhao Jingyi took it seriously. As a result, the good marriage was gone, and even her official career was uncertain.

Zhao Jingyi's position is high and powerful, and the emperor's family is rich. He doesn't want much, but once he wants it, he will definitely get it. Think about how the mere Yongninghou's Mansion can compete with the Prince's Mansion.

If this is the case, it is indeed a big debt, but in fact... it is Lin Xi who should owe it.

"Since the incident happened, no matter how regretful it is, it's useless. We'll have to wait. Sun'er hasn't said anything about the imperial examination. The emperor doesn't seem to be angry. On the contrary, he thinks highly of me. It can be seen that his heart is like a mirror. The result must not be too bad."

"Really?" Mrs. Tai's eyes lit up, "Xi'er told grandma about the imperial examination."

Lin Xi smiled, swallowed the bitterness in his mouth, and coaxed: "Okay, you drink the medicine obediently first, and your grandson will tell you exactly what Zhao Jingyi said, let him go, if I don't Is it possible to snatch people from him in public?"

Xiao Jinxin hid behind Mrs. Liu, trembling all over. She looked at Yongning Hou with a frosty face at the door, and Kong Wu's powerful guards behind him. She didn't even dare to cry loudly, so she could only cry softly while crying : "Mother, save my daughter, save my daughter..."

How angry and dissatisfied Liu was in Chongjintang before, how disrespectful she was to her mother-in-law, how panicked and scared she is now, she stretched out her hand to protect the lord Xiao Jinxin, and begged repeatedly, "Master, this concubine is just such a daughter Now, she still has body, she made a mistake, she can play any way, don't, don't..."

Liu did not dare to kneel down, did not dare to let go of Xiao Jinxin, when Marquis Yongning led people in step by step, she could only hug her daughter and back away slowly until the corner of the wall, there was no way to retreat.

"Just pretend that she is leaving with Ping'er." Yongninghou's face was as cold as ice, expressionless, he was neither angry nor scolded, and there was no slight ups and downs in his voice, which showed that he didn't want to say more, let alone the possibility of letting Xiao Jinxin go.

"Master Hou! Master Hou! Miss is confused for a while!" Mother Lu cried and knelt down on the ground, hugging Marquis Yongning's feet, but before howling twice, two guards came out from behind Marquis Yongning, one on the left and the other on the left. Hold it right and drag it out.

This situation frightened Xiao Jinxin to scream, "No, Dad! I'm the wife of the Li family, you can't deal with me!"

Marquis Yongning paused, looked at Xiao Jinxin in disbelief, and then closed his eyes to hide his sadness, "Li's daughter-in-law? Li Rang has been dismissed from his job, Song Guogong is not strict in teaching his son, slandering the prince, the prince The mansion was immediately reduced to the third-class general's mansion and will not be hereditary."

"What!" Mrs. Liu opened her eyes wide, and immediately turned her head to look at her daughter. Seeing Xiao Jinxin's expression was dull, with tears on her face, she hurriedly asked, "When did this happen? Your Majesty, why is your Majesty, What does this have to do with son-in-law?"

"After Prince Rui left the Marquis Mansion, the imperial decree came to the Li family, and the door plaque was taken down on the spot. Soon, the divorce papers came into my hands. A good wife is a good husband, and it is difficult for a wife to adulterer. What a good daughter of the Xiao family. !"

Marquis Yongning raised the snow-white letter of divorce in his hand, sneered sadly, and let Mrs. Liu snatch it away.

"Li Rang, Li Rang! He won't, it must be the old woman forcing him to divorce his wife! Father, my daughter doesn't believe me, please..." Xiao Jinxin was about to pounce on her face to beg her, but she slapped her face, the sound resounding She was stunned in the whole room.

Marquis Yongning's eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't call me father, how could I have a daughter like you! When you did these things, did you ever think that I was your father? Take it to heart? It's too late, it's too late, no one can save you, you will be ordained and become a monk tomorrow, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng will live forever, father and daughter, I will save your life."

"No!" Xiao Jinxin was stunned. It's not as simple as Madam Tai being unhappy and sending her to Jingfo Temple to pray. Once she is ordained and becomes a monk, there is no possibility of her coming back, and she will be a lonely ghost with nowhere to go.

She shook her head desperately, and she screamed loudly, "It's not me, it's Princess Jing'an, it was Princess Jing'an who told me about Lin Xi and the prince, my daughter is just not angry, not reconciled! Father, please, daughter, please, I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare, you tell the prince, let him let me live, I will keep my own place, please let me give birth to the child, let me raise him, father! "

She yelled and knelt down on the ground, her bulging belly rubbed on the ground, which was very pitiful, "I will apologize to my cousin, let him scold me, let me do whatever, okay, father, mother!"

Liu shi cried with tears in her eyes, she lowered her body slowly, but before she knelt down on the ground, she heard Marquis Yongning's calm voice, "Help Madam out."

"Hou Ye!" Liu yelled in disbelief, but he was already framed up by the left and right, and he was held out irresistibly.

She looked back, and the last thing that caught her eyes was Xiao Jinxin's despair and Yongninghou's indifference and sadness.

Lin Xi didn't know what happened to Xiao Jinxin in the end. Anyway, he never saw her again, but Xiao Yuheng mentioned later that she gave birth to a boy, and the Li family came to take the baby away, but never mentioned Xiao Jinxin. After that, the in-laws of the two families were completely broken.

The results of the palace examination came down quickly, and the suona horn rang for a long time at the gate of the Lin Mansion before it stopped, and Lin Xi was the top student in high school amidst congratulations.

Many students endured it for a long time. Seeing this ending, they couldn't be calm for a long time. After a loud cry, crowds flocked to the gate of the palace, just like the fraud case that spread throughout the country, when the drumsticks of Jingzhao Mansion were beating, they flocked. To sit quietly in front of the palace gate.

"Where's Zhao Jingyi? My Prince Rui is devoted to Mingyue, and I'm afraid that others will not know who his sweetheart is! Why, why don't you show your determination now, and stay in the palace and wait for me to make decisions for him?" Emperor Xia Jing waved his dragon robe. He shouted angrily, "Go, pass on my word of mouth, if this matter cannot be resolved, I will give Lin Xi a marriage tomorrow!"

During the reign of Emperor Xia Jing, there were two times when students gathered to sit in meditation to seek the holy order. He was also the first in the Great Xia Dynasty. This will be recorded in the daily notes for future generations to comment on. It will not be erased from generation to generation, and this time it is the same The ridiculous reason made him even more annoyed.

Emperor Xia Jing issued an imperial edict, and the father-in-law hurriedly ordered to go on.

However, before the edict was delivered, the servant had already replied, followed by Zhao Jingyi's lieutenant general.

"Your Majesty, the prince begs for orders to order troops from the suburbs of Beijing to enter the city."

The deputy general knelt in the hall and raised his hands high to present Zhao Jingyi's handwriting, and the father-in-law took it carefully.

"There are only a few hundred candidates who are helpless, and the patrol battalion is not enough. Even the camp in the suburbs of Beijing has to be pulled in to strengthen their courage?" Emperor Xia Jing opened it with a sneer, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, tell him, if it can't be done. Alright, if the resentment is aroused, I will exile Lin Xi to calm the anger of the scholars in the world."

The Ninth Prince became a little anxious when he heard it, and he didn't care about the difference between the monarch and his subjects, so he pleaded: "Father, what does this have to do with Uncle Lin? It's obviously Brother Rui..."

Liang Wang took a step forward indifferently, "Ninth Brother, Father Emperor has his own deep meaning, it's better for you not to interfere."

The Ninth Prince immediately clenched his fists, raised his head and was about to retort, when Emperor Xia Jing waved his hand, "No need to say more."

After all, Jinshi high school is not easy. A considerable part of these candidates who sit quietly at the gate of the palace have experienced it once before. The leader has made the protest more rigorous and continuous, and the determination is also heavier.

But it's a pity that the previous fraud case had little to do with Prince Rui's residence, and the patrol battalion was only used to supervise and prevent troubles.But this time, as one of the parties involved in the rumors, he has clearly expressed his intentions, how could Zhao Jingyi let these scholars get what they want?

He longed for a fair chance to defend his sweetheart.

Obtaining the will of Emperor Xia Jing, the Northwest Army, which turned into a camp in the suburbs of Beijing, went straight to the gate of the city and lined up on the palace gate. They came from fighting on the battlefield, and they were full of evil spirit and blood, with stern eyes and hands. Holding a long gun, under the sunlight, it seems to be steaming with a compelling momentum, which makes people daunting.

At most, let's see how the scholar who was fighting with the ruffians had seen such a scene, and was baptized by the piercing eyes of thousands of soldiers in this phalanx, suddenly frightened, with the sound of heart beating and drums, how dare to speak provocatively and provocatively.

The impassioned voice was silenced for a while, and Na Na said that they wait and see each other and don't know what to do.

Ordinary officers and soldiers may not dare to do anything to them, but the Northwest Army, which came here to protect their homes and defend the country, has no such scruples. Military orders are above all else. From those indifferent eyes, they can't see the slightest hesitation. Waiting for the chief to give orders.

It was only at this time that they realized that they were provoking this prince who was on the battlefield together when questioning Lin Xi and slandering his reputation.

Prince Rui, the head of military officers, is not as good-tempered as King Liang and King Shu. He will not be afraid of Shilin's evaluation of him, and he will not be afraid of affecting the favor of officials for him. For fear of losing the favor of the emperor, he dared not say a word in front of Emperor Xia Jing.

The scars all over his body showed his meritorious deeds, and the triumphant banner showed his strength, so he was highly regarded by the emperor.He doesn't need to win over others to go further. With these achievements and strength, people will be attracted and attached to him.

Therefore, before the rumors with Lin Xi spread, even if it was rumored that Prince Rui hated literati and never made friends with them, it would not hinder Shilin's praise and love for him.

Such a man who is fearless, fearless, unquestionable, and as firm as a rock, how can he expect Zhao Jingyi to stand idly by when he has already expressed his heart in public but someone still dares to touch his heart?

Besides, is Lin Xi really wrong?Does he really need Zhao Jingyi to open the door for him to steal questions?

Among the candidates, there were many who followed the crowd in a daze, and were treated as a bucket of ice water under the impassionedness, and they inevitably retreated.

Before there was any commotion among the candidates, a hole suddenly opened in the center of the phalanx in front of the palace gate.I saw Zhao Jingyi riding his big black horse and leading the eighteen guards slowly to the front of the square formation.

Prince Rui sat high on the horse, with a fierce face, cold eyes, and the aura that rushed towards him seemed to have turned into a real blade, which made people want to hide, and no one dared to look directly at him.

The two sides confront each other, and the morale alone has already determined the outcome.

"The spring of today's department is over. High school students are not waiting for appointments at home, and those who have landed do not return home quickly. They gather in front of this palace to make trouble and despise the imperial power. Who gave you such courage!"

Zhao Jingyi's cold words fell, and as his colder gaze swept over, someone in the crowd immediately shrank their necks and held their breath.

"I don't care about the old rules of human relations, and I'm not afraid of people's words. I only follow the laws of Daxia. Those who make troubles in the palace gates should be punished for the crime of disrespect. If you don't want to go to jail, you should hurry up and disperse!"

Regardless of the fact that Daxia has always given preferential treatment to scholars and seldom dealt with crimes, according to his military regulations, it is light to gather a crowd to make trouble for no reason, so there is no need to talk nonsense.

Now that he can still say a few words at this moment, it is already his excellent patience.

Feeling that they were going to play for real, the candidates were a little restless and a little scared, and their hearts were beating loudly with retreat, but no one dared to be the first to leave because of the book business.

Then Zhao Jingyi's eyes narrowed, and the hand holding the rein suddenly slowly lifted up, and the soldier behind him froze, as if he had received a signal, his body tensed up, as if he would charge forward as long as he tilted his hand slightly forward.

Seeing that the crowd was about to scatter like birds and beasts under the momentum of a sharp sword, finally someone in the crowd mustered up the courage and shouted, "My lord, I only want justice!"

Hearing that voice, Zhao Jingyi slightly raised his eyebrows, and looked over carefully, but saw that person shrinking the crowd.

"Fair?" He asked softly, the corners of his mouth turned cold, but the hand continued to be raised without any hesitation.

The man became anxious immediately, raised his head and shouted again: "Lin Xi is detrimental to personal morality and is not worthy of being an official. How can he set an example for the world's students for the number one scholar? Besides, I doubt whether he can be the number one scholar..." Then People didn't expect such a scene today, thinking about offending Zhao Jingyi, he no longer was afraid, and said bluntly, "Is the prince helping him?"

"Yes, yes, I think so too." Everyone echoed.

After all, Zhao Jingyi didn't wave his hand forward, but put it down. He looked at the student who looked like a broken jar, and suddenly smiled, but he just bent the corners of his lips, but his face turned cold again after a while , with sarcasm in his eyes.

"I don't need to explain to you, but for Lin Xi, I will say a few more words."

"First, is he worthy of being the number one scholar? The examiner of Chunwei's examination papers, the main examiners in the palace examination, and even the current emperor can judge. This king has little knowledge, how do you know? Second, whether he is virtuous or not, you all found out that he has committed murder and robbed Defrauding people of money, or bullying others? If so, move to Jingzhao Mansion, where there will be no promotion and no paperwork! It’s not a place for you to gather crowds and make trouble! You don’t even know this, so what are you doing? Scholars, how can you be an official? Thirdly, this king never knew that this king still has the ability to meddle in Chun Wei, are you questioning the emperor's ability to serve under the emperor? Or are you provoking conflicts between the monarch and his ministers?"

The voice became deeper and deeper, and each word was harsher than the other. Those who listened were sweating and panicked. They didn't even dare to amplify the sound even for breathing, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to cover their faces and run away.

Zhao Jingyi slowly swept across the silent crowd, the pressing pressure lasted for a long time, and then he slowed down and continued: "Finally, I really have to thank you all for sparing no effort to spread this rumor, this king realized that he has already liked him, very much He must be!"

As soon as the topic changed, the tone suddenly changed, and even the pressure on the top of their heads seemed to be relieved. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and people couldn't help but feel that it is fortunate that this prince still has some human touch.

However, when I think about this human touch again, my mood becomes complicated again.

At this time, a young father-in-law came from the palace with several imperial guards, stood beside Zhao Jingyi, and shouted loudly to the examinees: "As ordered by the emperor, all the examination papers of the top ten candidates in this subject will be displayed in the Gongyuan for the public to share." Students read and taste, if there are troublemakers again, those who have merit will be expelled, and those who have no merit will be disqualified from Chunwei and will never be hired."

After finishing speaking, the little eunuch bowed to Zhao Jingyi and returned to the palace.

The big black horse stomped its hooves impatiently and snorted, as if saying what nonsense it was.

So Zhao Jingyi raised his hand and waved it lightly, "The time I gave you a stick of incense is still in front of this palace gate, so I will take it down for questioning."

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers behind strode forward and surrounded him in a fan shape.

The emperor's verbal instructions, coupled with Zhao Jingyi's pressing step by step, had already dispersed people's hearts before they started to sit still, and they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

This is against the rules, and he dared to act recklessly because he saw the tolerance of the current emperor for scholars. If Emperor Wu was in power, how dare he act like this.Besides, the fraud case really has a great grievance, and the world is unfair, so it is the worst policy. This time... what is the reason, and what is the basis for being confident?

"Let me keep an eye on that scholar just now."

Zhao Jingyi finally looked at the figure leaving among the crowd, gave orders to his side, and then crossed his legs and rode away.
