Last time we talked about the beginning of this subject, Daiyu took a urn of kimchi as the subject of the exam. Although all the ministers were full of doubts, the support of Shui Meng and Shui Rong made all the ministers dare not object. He didn't even have any objection, he just finished answering the test questions, so Daiyu and others had to read all the test questions within three days, of course Shui Meng simply arrested Feng Yuan and Ni Er to do hard work together.In this way, I finally read all the test papers in three days.

After reading the test papers, all five of them laughed, and Shui Rong handed the list to Shui Meng: "Your Majesty, this is the list of candidates for the second batch of exams."

Shui Meng nodded, and then said with a smile to Feng Yuan: "President Feng should be responsible and have someone publish the list."

Feng Yuan nodded with a smile: "I obey the order." So the first exam is over.

Of course, after the first exam, Daiyu went back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. She was so tired that she took a bath and went to bed without eating.

Shui Rong was also very tired, but she went back to her room to sleep after watching Daiyu fall asleep.

When they woke up, the entire Jinling City had announced the first exam results, and strange people, besides the candidates who were on the list were very satisfied, even the candidates who were not on the list seemed to be satisfied. There is no surprise, of course, those who are interested will also ask those questions, I don’t want those questions to laugh and said: "Although I am not reconciled, but it is undeniable that the question of the Duchess really let us show our skills, that’s all. , Come back in three years, I hope that in three years' time I will still be the chief examiner of the baroness." As they said that, those people didn't stop and just left Jinling.

In this way, this current subject is even more curious.I was really curious that the urn of kimchi made these people so docile, someone smiled and said: "A urn of kimchi, both hot and sour, is like life, with all the bitterness and joy. It can be said that kimchi is the reality of life. Therefore, this urn of kimchi is actually a reflection of the philosophy of life, so we can only understand it if we have really experienced it. Therefore, although this question is different from the usual exams, it allows us to understand the philosophy of life, and we can only gain if we pay, so even this time We won’t regret it if we fail.” After finishing speaking, those candidates left.

Of course, those who have passed the first exam are not very proud, because it is only the first exam now, and there are second and third exams.

The second session is the water dissolution problem.

Shui Rong’s scene is also a weird subject. Shui Rong brought a cup over. This cup is weird. The bottom is not like a normal fixed base, but has both sides of the cup fixed and suspended. Shui Rong said with a smile: “This cup has a The name is Luminous Cup, of course, since it has this name, it must have its effect, now I don’t want you to write about the origin of this Luminous Cup, but there is a strange thing about this Luminous Cup, you should look carefully.” Then let The man brought a jug over, and Shui Rong gently poured the wine into the glass: "This luminous glass is also a strange thing, if the wine is ninety percent full, the glass is still good, but if it is full If it is very full, strange things will happen." He continued to pour, but when it was very full, the glass shook by itself, then turned to one side, and then the whole glass was poured like this.

Shui Rong gave the jug to the maid at the side, then waved someone to take away the luminous cup, and said: "This king wants you to use everything you saw just now to write a general theory of governing the country."

This kind of action actually requires someone to write a theory of governing the country, and the ministers of civil and military affairs on the side naturally whispered.

Shui Rong glanced at everyone, and didn't say much, just let the examiners think for themselves, there were 3000 people who took the exam for the first time, but there were only 1000 or 1000 people who took the exam for the second time, and this Out of 360 two hundred people, only 360 people can pass, that is to say, after passing the second exam, basically the fame is also determined, but to determine the top three, these [-] ​​people have to participate in the third water test. Meng's question, so that we can know who is the top three in this subject.

The exam is cruel, but the candidates who participated did not complain, maybe because they know that this subject is really fair, so they are not afraid of someone cheating, and the test questions are very novel, so that they can all Show off your talents.

In two hours, 360 people were determined to lead to fame, but those who could not be shortlisted had no regrets. There was only one thought in their hearts, to start over three years later.

There were no complaints, and although those who failed the ranking were somewhat regretful, they all left with smiles on their faces.

And the 360 ​​people who were selected seemed to understand that this was hard won, but the third exam that was really not easy, after all, was the key to determining their rankings. There are also some officials who have been sent to the outside world. Anyway, no matter what, the future is determined.

During the examination in the palace, Shui Menglong glanced lightly, and then said: "I don't want you to play freely like the Duchess, and I don't want to listen to your way of governing the country. After all, in the future, monarchs and ministers will have time to listen to your way of governing the country. You write an article that analyzes the current situation in the world. I don’t limit the number of words and the subject matter. The time is two hours. I hope to see that you can write your own arguments.”

All the candidates respectfully agreed, and then began to answer the questions. This is written according to the current situation. It is easy to say that it is easy, but it is indeed a bit difficult to say that it is not easy. What kind of answer did the emperor want, and Shui Meng took advantage of this psychology to formulate the question. He didn't want courtiers who flattered him, but he wanted courtiers who could really make contributions to the country.

360 people have 360 ​​thoughts, and what is hidden in each thought can only be discovered by themselves.

The papers were handed up respectfully one by one, the top three were not decided secretly, but by the court, so when one paper came up, Shui Meng read one, until there was one, Shui Meng laughed: "Who is Zhen Baoyu?"

Zhen Baoyu came out: "That's the minister."

Shui Chi at the side was slightly surprised, unexpectedly there are such similar people, but the temperament is completely different, Shui Meng glanced at Zhen Baoyu, then smiled and said: "You mentioned in the paper that the king is the lightest, and the community is the second." , the people are the most precious, why do you write like this?"

Zhen Baoyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that in today's world, although I live in peace in the dynasty, there are countries such as Rouran and Bohai Sea outside. Even if they have communicated with each other now, no one knows about this war. Only the real people can really calm down the war, and only the people can make the country develop and stabilize. Therefore, the real decision maker of a country is atrocities, and the emperor is just a decision maker, just like the helm of a ship. The emperor is at the helm, and the people are the water that stabilizes the boat, so there is an old saying that the water can carry a boat and capsize it, that’s how it is.”

Shui Meng nodded, and then laughed: "Very good, it really is the jade among the treasures, like your name, so you are the number one scholar in this discipline." Is to congratulate.

Then Shui Rong selected the No. [-] and No. [-] picks. As expected, each of them had their own unique insights. No matter what, this current subject ended like this.

The top three in the current department came out, and the whole country was jubilant, and Shuimeng even hosted a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain the 360 ​​upstarts.

Daiyu didn't like this kind of occasion, so she simply found an excuse and didn't attend. It's hard to find an excuse if it's only water-soluble, so she naturally resigned to her fate to attend.

Fortunately, although they are all upstarts, they understand the truth after all, and Shui Rong is a person with strong self-control, so Shui Rong came back soon. After returning, he changed his clothes and only went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Daiyu.

But Daiyu and Xichun were playing chess together, seeing Shui Rong came in, Daiyu smiled and said: "You are really a prince, why did you come at this time?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Actually, those upstarts are naturally favored by others, so I don't need to be troublesome. I'm only going to give the emperor a face."

After Shui Rong said that, Daiyu laughed and said, "That's good, the disciples of the Son of Heaven will also come out, so I don't have to worry about so many things in the future."

Shui Rong nodded: "I know you don't want to care about that matter, since that's the case, it's okay to ignore it, but you should be more careful about everything, after all, someone still takes you as a thorn in the side."

Daiyu smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just doing things that don't take half a step from the gate."

Shui Rong smiled and nodded: "That's good, now that it's over, I just wait for Concubine Yuan to visit her relatives, I really want to see if Concubine Yuan Gui will give birth to a boy or a girl."

There was something interesting in the watery smile, and Daiyu didn't bother to care about it, but the Dragon Boat Festival soon came and passed, until the third day of June, people in Fengzao Palace were busy going back and forth, and it was the concubine Yuan who was about to give birth.

Concubine Yuan finally gave birth to a girl after a whole day and night, but Shui Meng laughed when she heard about it: "I still hope that she will give birth to a boy, so the game is more fun."

Shui Rong at the side understood the truth of the matter, so he laughed and said, "You're still ashamed to say, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, it's not your flesh and blood."

Shui Meng laughed: "I'm looking forward to how they will jump in the house, what title do you think I will give to that little girl?"

Shui Rong laughed after hearing this: "It's not your flesh and blood anyway, it's up to you how you want to seal it."

Shui Meng smiled slightly: "It's not my daughter, so let's make it Fei, let's make it Princess Fei for now."

"It's not a princess." Shui Rong laughed after hearing this, "It's not a princess, I'm afraid only you can think of this title."

Shui Meng sighed and said: "Now that I have rewarded them, it is always time for them to act for Lian, otherwise it would be a waste of all my efforts."

Shui Rong shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "In this case, the emperor should give them a chance."

Shui Meng glanced at Shui Rong, then smiled and said: "You want to see the plot in it quickly, then smiled and said, but it's no fault of you, it is indeed time to give them a chance." Then said: "Come on people."

Seeing a servant come in, Shui Meng said indifferently: "It is my oral order that the princess born to Concubine Jia is not a princess."

"Yes, I'm going right now, servant." So the servant hurried away.

Who can know the thoughts of this king's heart, no matter what, this king's heart is always unpredictable, but Yuan Concubine's daughter was made a princess when she was born, and this news naturally made some people happy and some people furious .

The ones who are happy are naturally Concubine Yuan and members of the Jia family. Concubine Yuan originally thought that she had given birth to a daughter, and the emperor must be displeased. , only when his daughter is favored.

People in Jia's mansion were overjoyed when they heard that Concubine Yuan had given birth to a daughter and was made a princess. Needless to say, Mother Jia wanted Baochai to quickly prepare a banquet to celebrate. All the relatives and friends, almost Jinling people know that Concubine Jia Gui from the Rongguo Mansion has given birth to a non-princess.

This place is full of excitement, so naturally there are people who are unhappy, and this person is exactly that Shui Chi.When Shui Chi heard about this, he was furious, and said: "Have you found out, is Concubine Jia's daughter really named a non-princess?"

The spies on the side only bowed their heads and said: "What you said to the prince is indeed true."

Shui Jian smashed the tea cup in his hand, and said angrily: "Concubine Jia, don't think that your family's prosperity and wealth are guaranteed. This king wants you to fetch water from the bamboo basket in vain."

No one knew what Shui Chi was up to, but looking at the hostility in his eyes, he knew that this idea must be bad.

Time flies, and naturally the Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be here, but this August Mid-Autumn Festival, with the fragrance of golden osmanthus, is still very hot at noon, and this day is the time for Concubine Yuan to visit her relatives.

Concubine Yuan got up early in the morning, and then brought non-princess to Shuimeng, the queen paid her respects, and after listening to the queen's teachings, all the concubines in the palace came to see them off. The concubine took Fei Princess and put on her own phoenix twist, so she went out of the Donghua Gate and headed towards the Rongguo Mansion. The two sides of the street have already been cleaned up, and they are sealed with yellow curtains, so that no one can see.

Obviously it is very hot at this moment, but the street is still a bit chilly. It turns out that every ten people on both sides of the street, there is a tall ice sculpture standing upright. It looks like a person, like a bird, a beast, and a flower. The bursts of coolness, only such handwriting can imagine how much money was spent in the process.

On the roof not far away, Shui Meng and Shui Rong watched, Shui Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel that you let your Rongguo Mansion use ice sculptures, so I am afraid that the mansion has already emptied its finances."

Shui Meng smiled and said: "It's not too cruel, let alone today they are the bait, if I don't put heavy bait, how can I get those big fish to take the bait."

While talking, the imperial concubine's phoenix seemed to be entering the Nanhua Gate, and after exiting the Nanhua Gate was Nanchao Street, so it was almost time to reach the Rongguo Mansion, only to arrive at the Nanhua Gate, but suddenly heard a long howl, and then rushed from all directions Countless black-clothed masked men came, all of them came from Concubine Chao Yuan's phoenix, and the maids at the side shouted when they saw it: "Assassins, there are assassins, everyone, hurry up and escort them."

But those escorting guards were originally far away, and when they came over, they saw another person had already broken into the phoenix, and the concubine Yuan screamed and ran away, then she hugged the child Running back, I didn't even think about how an ordinary woman like her could compare with those masters, and the man in black was also weird, he only chased after Concubine Yuan, and then slashed at Concubine Yuan, Concubine Yuan yelled.With a subconscious block, the sword pierced through the baby girl.

Seeing this, Shui Meng said to Shui Rong, "Is it time for you to appear?"

Shui Rong smiled slightly: "Forget it, she was originally your concubine, but you want me to appear."

Shuimeng smiled and said: "Don't forget, she also has true feelings for you." There was infinite teasing in the words.

After hearing this, Shui Rong glared at Shui Meng: "So, go and save, I don't want to save a troublesome person, lest Dai'er get angry."

Shui Meng smiled helplessly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you anymore, good or bad we are still brothers, let's go."

Shui Rong glanced at Shui Meng again, then laughed, didn't say anything, and just floated over. Seeing that the man's sword was about to stab the concubine Yuan, Shui Rong shot out a white light to block his attack, and then the man dressed in white He floated into the field.

The man in black seemed a little surprised at Shui Rong's arrival, so he looked at Shui Rong.

Shui Rong looked at the man in black with a smile, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so persistent, don't you think you went too far today, assassinated the concubine, killed the princess, I'm afraid I would be useless even if I took your life." What will people say."

The man in black looked at Shui Rong for a long time, then pulled the black veil lightly, it turned out to be Shui Chi, Shui Chi looked at Shui Rong, and then said calmly, "You knew it was me?"

Shui Rong smiled slightly: "I was just speculating, I just didn't expect it was really you!"

Shui Chi nodded: "You want to block me?" He looked at Shui Rong, wanting to confirm Shui Rong's true intentions.

Shui Rong smiled, and then said: "How can I not stop you, good or bad she is a concubine, the emperor's family, and what you did was to assassinate the concubine."

Shui Chi snorted, then glanced at the clear Shui Rong and said, "Isn't this all in your expectation? If so, I will naturally resist." After saying that, Shui Chi directly attacked.

Shui Rong smiled slightly: "In that case, you can come, but you have never been my opponent." No one knows the meaning of these words, but it is undeniable that no matter what, Shui Rong's offensive was still blocked by Shui Rong Yes, there is surprise in Shui Chi's eyes, he has always known that water melting is not easy, but with the current climax of martial arts, Shui Chi is still very surprised, so the attack is even more urgent.

Maybe Shui Chi is really a rare master for ordinary people, but for Shui Rong, this Shui Chi is not enough to be a playful opponent, he looked at the sky, and then smiled: "It's almost time, Prince Luo offended. " Then he rushed over, but saw that Shui Rong flicked Shui Chi's sword lightly with one hand, and then pointed at Shui Chi with the other hand, and Shui Chi was frozen.

Shui Rong came to Shui Chi's side, and said with a slight smile: "My lord, I've offended you." Then she turned her head and glanced at Concubine Yuan who was looking at the dead child in her arms. Madam, go back to the palace, that's all for visiting relatives today." Then he took the water away by himself.

Concubine Yuan was assassinated on the way to visit her relatives. Although she was intact, the newly born little princess Fei Princess was killed for no reason, so the matter of visiting her relatives would naturally be over. When Jia's family heard the news, Mother Jia fainted on the spot past.

No wonder Jiamu was dizzy. If it wasn't for maintaining everything in the mansion, even Baochai would be dizzy. For this visit, Baochai used nearly [-]% of the Xue family's money. This suffering can only be swallowed by oneself.

When Jia Mu woke up, she didn't say anything, but said Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang hurried into the palace.

When I came to Fengzao Palace, I found that the palace was full of oysters, so I naturally understood that this was true. When I walked into the palace gate, I saw the concubine Yuan wearing white onyx strips and white clothes, and there was a spirit seat in the palace. Concubine Yuan looked at the spiritual seat, only shedding tears.

Seeing Jiamu and the three of them, Baoqin had to remind Concubine Yuan softly, Concubine Yuan wiped away her tears gently, then turned around.

The three of Jia's mothers saw that Yuan Chun was seated, then straightened their clothes and saluted: "I've seen you, my lady."

Concubine Yuan sighed: "Old Majesty, please get up, Mrs. Congratulations, Mrs. An." Then she ordered: "Hold the piano and serve tea."

Turning back to Jiamu and others, he said, "Old Madam, please sit down and talk."

Jia Mu waited for the others to sit down, and then Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Madam, what is going on, who dares to assassinate you so boldly, and hurt the princess again." A glance at Concubine Yuan.

Tears welled up in Concubine Yuan's eyes, and then she said after a while: "I don't know, it's Prince Luo and his killer who came to attack, I don't know why Prince Luo did this at all, didn't he always Are you on good terms with our mansion, why did he do such a thing suddenly, he even killed the daughter of the palace and the emperor." Concubine Yuan burst into tears.

Mother Jia's expression changed when she heard this: "Your Majesty, this matter was done by Prince Luo."

Concubine Yuan nodded, then sighed and said, "That's right, it was Prince Luo who did it. Fortunately, Prince Bei Jing arrived in time, otherwise I would have died."

Jia's mother was even more shocked: "Then Baoyu, what should Baoyu do? Now he is a companion in his mansion, and Baoyu has news." Now, except for Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Concubine Yuan were all stunned. Yes, they almost forgot that there was still a precious jade in Prince Naluo's mansion.

Mrs. Wang stood up even more: "I'll go pick up Baoyu right away."

Concubine Yuan felt dissatisfied when she saw this, but she still said: "An Ren, this is the palace, pay attention to your behavior."

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard Concubine Yuan's words, but she didn't forget the inhumane days she spent in the Education Bureau for seven days, so she had to sit down unwillingly.
