I live with the Lord God [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 24 Becoming a Scholar in Ancient Times 23

"The next thing is not something I can participate in. I will try it in a few months. I will study behind closed doors during this time. I will not go out except to visit the teacher regularly." Shao Yan stood up as he said Come, after saluting Meng Min and the others, he left directly.

In this regard, the three of Meng Min did not hold back, but they got up and sent Shao Yan to the door before going back to discuss how to disclose the crimes of the prince and his subordinates to the fifth prince without anyone noticing.

These have nothing to do with Shao Yan. After he returned, he told Shao Yi that he would prepare for the test behind closed doors.In the next period of time, he really stayed at home almost all the time, and even went to Mr. Du's place once every three days instead of once every ten days.

Every time I went out, I went straight to Du's house, and I didn't even get out of the carriage during the period, and it was the same when I came back.

While Shao Yan was studying behind closed doors, the whole capital was very lively.

First, because of the jade bone china, the prince was reprimanded by the emperor, saying that he was greedy and would do anything for profit, and ordered him to go back and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

The prince originally wanted to hide it, but he didn't choose the right time to enter the palace. It happened that the emperor summoned several ministers, and these people could hear clearly what happened outside.

These people who can be found by the emperor after going down the court are not to mention confidantes, but they also hold real power. The background of each one is not simple. Without the emperor's order, the prince can't control it at all.

But the fifth prince seized this opportunity, wanting to take advantage of the time when the prince shut himself up and think about his mistakes, to catch some tricks and get some benefits, but he didn't expect to find all kinds of evidence that the prince's sect robbed women and seized other people's property.

The fifth prince was originally the son of a noble concubine, and he was very favored. Although he did not have the title of crown prince, the noble concubine controlled the entire harem. In the absence of a queen mother or empress, she was the master of the harem.

At the same time, the imperial concubine is also from a family, so the five princes have extraordinary power behind them, and they are evenly matched with the crown prince.

Now that he has seized such a big handle on his opponent, there is no point in not doing it.

So the next day, the imperial censor of the fifth prince's lineage took part in the crown prince's lack of strictness, connived at the mermaids and the common people, did evil everywhere, and presented evidence.

The emperor was furious, and the prince and his party were caught off guard.

And the prince was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion, and he didn't know what happened until after the court.But he can't go out now, even if he wants to plead guilty to the emperor, he has no chance.

Because the prince party has been at a disadvantage from the very beginning and is in a state of continuous suppression.The prince has also lost nearly half of the power he had accumulated over the years, the most serious being the Ministry of War.

Not to mention being intervened by the fifth prince, even the prince's uncle, Zhao Xi, who was the servant of the Ministry of War, was imprisoned for several days in a row, and was suspended by the emperor for inspection.

When Tongtao Heya heard the news, it was almost the end of the new year, and the emperor had already sealed his pen.

"Your Highness Fifth can have a good year." Shao Yan had only one sentence for this.

"Yes, this year's palace banquet must be very exciting." Tao Heya said with a smile.

Tao Heya is completely convinced of Shao Yan now, because he doesn't go out, and every time he has any news, he immediately runs to the small courtyard to tell him, and it's the same today.

"It's a pity that I'm not qualified to attend the palace banquet, otherwise I really want to see it." Shao Yan joked.

"If the younger brother is willing to serve as an official in the court, with the younger brother's ability and the teacher's contacts, it is not easy to participate in the palace banquet." Tao Heya said quickly.

"Forget it, it's impossible to give up my beloved painting and calligraphy just to join in the fun." Shao Yan firmly set his obsession with calligraphy and painting as an unshakable person, and shook his head decisively.

"That's such a pity." Tao Heya sighed.

Now, like Du Lao, Du Yinan, and Meng Min, he feels that Shao Yan's failure to enter the court and become an official is simply a loss to Zhao Dynasty, and he persuades him whenever he has a chance, which makes Shao Yan a headache.

Just like what Shao Yan said, the Fifth Prince had just had a good year.

After the New Year's first big dynasty, the fifth prince was caught off guard by several censors.

Just like the prince, the fifth prince's subordinates are naturally not clean.

In addition, it was the current emperor's secret action. For a while, the fifth prince was worse than the prince. Not to mention the arrests of the disciples, even the household department that was in charge before was lost.

Prince Yushi's contemplation behind closed doors has not yet ended, and the fifth prince was also ordered by the emperor to reflect in the mansion.

At the same time, the emperor began to gather the forces under the prince and the fifth prince, and directly ruined their hard work in the court for many years.

Even the influence of the mother's family of the prince and concubine, as well as the mother's family of the fifth prince, was suppressed. For a while, the aristocrats who were related to these two families were all nervous about the news, and each of them shrank their heads. Didn't even dare to take his head off.

On the other hand, the other princes stood out from the comparison of these two. The current emperor is old, and he likes sons who know how to advance and retreat, and who are not greedy for power.

Therefore, after severely suppressing the prince and the fifth prince, he promoted the second, third, fourth and seventh princes.

Faced with such a situation, the other three princes naturally seemed to have received a pie from the sky, and they were all very beautiful.Moreover, they were reluctant to give up this opportunity to take the lead, and began to expand their power one by one.

Only the seventh prince rejected the emperor's intention to transfer him to the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying that the Ministry of Industry is very good.Moreover, the skilled craftsmen under him have recently developed some advanced weapons, and they cannot leave at a critical moment.

The emperor was very pleased with Meng Min's choice.The most direct manifestation is that Meng Min was summoned many times, and he was given a lot of last time, and he was praised every time he was mentioned.

On the contrary, the second, third, and fourth princes lost their previous care, and the three princes were unaware of this.In other words, even if they were aware of it, they were reluctant to give up their rights and chose to turn a blind eye.

Just when the situation in the court was complicated, February arrived, and the spring also began.

This time, there are not only talented and learned disciples from poor families like Shao Yan and Xiao Yu, but also Tao Heya, Wen Renyun, Wang Jing, Xie Zishen and a group of aristocratic children.

Before the test started, many underground banks had opened their markets, and the top ten listed by Zhuangyuanlou were all among them, and the odds were different.

Among them, Shao Yan's odds are very low because he was originally Jie Yuan in the provincial examination and worshiped under Du Lao's name.This made Shao Yan, who wanted to make a small fortune by betting himself, very disappointed.

The general examination is not as strict as the rural examination, and the inspection is much stricter. Not only everything you bring, including food, must be checked, but you must also be searched, and you are not allowed to wear interlayer clothes.

In this cold weather, no matter how much a single layer of clothing is, it will freeze to death.Fortunately, Du Lao asked Du Yinan to send a piece of warm jade early, saying that it would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

At the same time, Tao Heya also sent some useful things for the examination.The Seventh Prince Meng Min even sent a fox fur cloak.

This cloak is specially made, without lining, so it can be considered as a single layer.

Shao Yan paid attention to the surrounding situation, besides him, other aristocratic families or noble children also wore similar cloaks.

Those from a slightly poorer family background also carried them, but they all used poorer rabbit skins.
