As Zhang Yuliang said, the situation in the court has become more and more serious in the past few days, as if shrouded in a storm. Compared with this, the extensive fraud case is just a trivial beginning.And the maker of this storm is without a doubt the supreme emperor in the palace.

The fraud case involved the bribery case, and various conspiracies were hidden behind the bribery case.The black hands behind the scenes stirred up the wind and the rain, the court officials saw their tricks, and countless dust-laden old cases were re-emerged on the table, becoming the battlefield and means of the game between the two sides.

As a result, batches of old people fell, and batches of newcomers took over.The situation in the court seemed to have undergone a major surgery, and it was completely new from the inside out.

During this period of time, the residents of the imperial capital have enjoyed the addiction of eating melons. Almost every day there are new conversations and endless topics, and people gathering to gossip can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

In addition, teahouses and taverns everywhere also seized this great opportunity to make money, and arranged special personnel to analyze various changes in Beijing. There are two games a day, the venues are full, and the popularity is boiling. It can be said that they are making a lot of money. .

If His Majesty knew that he had achieved the purpose of sharing the joy with the people in this way, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

The turmoil in the court brought not only disasters, but also many opportunities to succeed.There are only so many official positions, one carrot and one hole, if someone goes down, someone will come up.Many people who had been depressed in the past seized this opportunity, broke out of the predicament, and became the upstarts of the court.

Things have progressed to this point, no matter how stupid people are, they can understand the meaning behind this big cleansing.

The emperor who had just secured the throne was dissatisfied with the current situation of forming a party for personal gain in the court, and this was reshuffling the cards according to his wishes.And this reshuffle, the biggest loss is the power of the family headed by the Zhang family.

From His Majesty's vigorous promotion of the imperial examination system, it can be seen that he is dissatisfied with the power of the aristocratic family. In this turmoil that has affected the whole country, most of the people who have benefited are from poor families. His attitude is already very obvious.

The power of the aristocratic family is deeply intertwined, and it is indeed not easy to move, so he has been keeping a low profile for nearly a year since he took the throne.If you don't make a move, you will die, but if you make a move, it will be thunderous, causing many aristocratic families to be hurt, and their vitality will be greatly damaged.

The Zhang family now has only one thought: Fortunately, Zhang Yuliang did not choose to enter the imperial court at this time, otherwise, with that person's means, he should have been sent to some unknown place by now.

Back to the fraud case.

Fraud in the scientific examination is not a trivial matter. Due to the large number of people involved, it is still in the stage of interrogation and investigation. So far, several important officials of the court have been involved, and the impact is huge.

It is worth mentioning that Li Cheng who sent Zhang Yuliang's test questions and Lin Chen who participated in it were both imprisoned and sentenced to three thousand miles of exile.The rest of the candidates who either sold, passed on the questions, or cheated were all sent back to their hometowns and deprived of the right to take the exam again, which was equivalent to cutting off their path to officialdom.

Several candidates who took the same exam as Zhang Yuliang went to the doctor in a hurry and found Zhang Yuliang, hoping that Zhang Yuliang would release them on bail. Zhang Yuliang didn't even bother to read their letters, so he directly refused and said Thank you behind closed doors for half a year.

The Zhang family wanted him to be like this, and sent away all those who tried to visit him.

This is a sensitive period, and Zhang Yuliang has the title of "Scholar" proclaimed by the Holy Majesty. As long as he avoids this period, his official career will be prosperous in the future, and his career will be smooth.

The Zhang family regards him as the family's last hope, and of course they don't want him to go through this muddy water.

Zhang Yuliang was also happy to relax.

In the afternoon of this day, after lunch, Cheng Dan ran into the yard with a watering pot to water his precious flowers.

Spring is over, and the early summer sun is creeping up on the branches.The peach blossoms in the courtyard have all fallen a few days ago, and the green branches and leaves spread freely, casting a green shade.

Cheng Dan loosened the soil for a few orchids planted in the shade, and watered some roses that were exposed to direct sunlight and jasmine planted by the fence, flying around the yard like a busy bee.

Zhang Yuliang lay on the soft couch and watched for a while, feeling drowsy due to the cool breeze and the dazzling light spots between the branches and leaves, covered his lips and yawned, leaned sideways on a few piles of scriptures and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Cheng Dan usually takes a nap here, and Zhang Yuliang has been with him for a long time, and he also has the habit of taking a nap in the morning. After lying down for a long time, the drowsiness will unknowingly surge up and drag him into sleep.

After finishing the work at hand, Cheng Dan wiped off his sweat, walked to the desk with the watering pot in his arms and sat down, and drank several cups of herbal tea before he felt the heat disappear.

The herbal tea is made from last year's dried chrysanthemum, cooked with licorice, honeysuckle, etc., and chilled in well water. The taste is sweet and fragrant, refreshing.

Every process is done by Zhang Yuliang himself, and Cheng Dan is the only one who owns the herbal tea.When outsiders come to visit, they drink ordinary tea made by Qinzhu.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Cheng Dan pushed the tea set away, glanced at Zhang Yuliang who was sleeping soundly on the couch, and then lightly picked up the rice paper on the table that was full of small script and read it from the beginning.

Zhang Yuliang has only been writing two articles recently, one is "Flower Code" written for Cheng Dan, and the other is "Shang Shu" which he has prepared for a year.The article Cheng Dan read was part of the latter.

He once heard Zhang Yuliang say that the full text of "Experimental Policy" will not exceed [-] words, but there are so many contents that need annotations and revisions that it may not be finished in half a year.

At that time, Cheng Dan didn't quite understand. When he was in school, his graduation thesis was more than [-] words. He also tried fan fiction and novels, and the word count easily exceeded [-].For him, it was unimaginable that he could not write a [-]-word article in half a year.

Until he saw the text of "Test Policy Minister".

The text on these sheets of paper is only a hundred words, but the annotations are nearly a thousand words, not to mention the analysis and revision traces of various allusions. Cheng Dan feels tired and flustered just looking at it, no wonder he writes so slowly.

Perhaps the fine articles handed down from generation to generation are to be grinded out bit by bit in this way.

Carefully putting down the papers filled with Zhang Yuliang's painstaking efforts, Cheng Dan stared blankly for a while, resting his chin on his chin, suddenly his eyes lit up, he took out a piece of blank rice paper from the drawer, rubbed some ink clumsily, and put it on Write a few crooked lines on the paper.

He hadn't practiced brush calligraphy before time travelling, nor after time travelling, so the characters he wrote were like three crabs fighting, comparable to heavenly scriptures, probably only he could understand.Fortunately, he didn't write anything important, he just wrote a diary and found something to do for himself.

Before starting to write, Cheng Dan thought that his life was lacklustre, and he could memorize it in a few sentences, but he didn't expect that he couldn't stop writing.

Waking up early with Zhang Yuliang and eating breakfast together, he wrote three hundred words eloquently, from the type of breakfast to Zhang Yuliang making herbal tea for him, even though many details were mentioned in one stroke, the content was quite rich.

After breakfast, Zhang Yuliang finished writing the latest update of "Flower Code", and began to sit and think hard about the next part of "Experimental Policy".Even though it was a trivial matter, he wrote a full page. He never thought that his mental activities would be so rich.

After finishing the last stroke, Cheng Dan supported his chin, raised his half-dry pen, and stared at the crooked handwriting on the paper in a daze, unable to get away from his thoughts for a long time.

His life turned out to be so interesting.

Cheng Dan still remembers how boring every day he lived before time travel, three meals a day, nine to five, pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt, the trivial things in life wiped out his enthusiasm early on, and life became Just muddle along to survive.

But he didn't think that the trifles that were only troublesome in the past would bloom under his pen one day.

The ink was gradually drying, and the sun was setting towards the west. Cheng Dan rubbed his sore eyes, folded the paper that was full of writing, and found a wooden box to put it in.

He decided to write a diary like this every day or every few days, not for himself, but for Zhang Yuliang.

He still has nine years to accompany Zhang Yuliang, and he wants to give Zhang Yuliang another nine years.

Zhang Yuliang loves him, and he loves Zhang Yuliang too.

……

The flowers in the yard grew better and better under Cheng Dan's meticulous care. Some narcissus plants had buds, and when they were about to open, they were fragrant.

Cheng Dan sat on the strange rock beside the pool, dipped his feet in the water, flicked the water from time to time, his delicate ankles were shining white in the sun, and it was also a beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

Zhang Yuliang walked down the steps, walked up to him with a plate of iced watermelon and sat down, said with a smile, "Come on, open your mouth."

Cheng Dan opened his mouth as he said, and Zhang Yuliang fed a piece of watermelon into his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Yuliang embraced Cheng Dan's shoulders, fed him watermelon, and occasionally took a bite himself.

Although the two did not talk, there was a strange sense of tacit understanding spontaneously. Under the cover of this tacit understanding, the air seemed to be sweet.

But the leisurely time never lasts long, just as Cheng Dan ate his sixth mouthful of watermelon, a group of people came from outside the fence.

The leader was an eunuch, short in stature and imposing.The eyes are naturally curved, like two crescent moons, and they seem to smile when they don't smile, very kind.

The two teams of guards following the eunuch were wearing the official uniforms of the Forbidden Army in the imperial palace, with uniform swords hanging from their waists, their footsteps were like the wind, and they walked silently, a sense of chilling came to their faces as they approached.

Cheng Dan glanced at them, left Zhang Yuliang's embrace, and lazily said, "I'm looking for you."

People from the palace will naturally only come to look for Zhang Yuliang.

Zhang Yuliang handed him the plate, told him "wait for me when I come back", and walked out of the courtyard.

After meeting the eunuch, Zhang Yuliang asked, "I don't know why your father-in-law is here?"

The eunuch accepted the gift calmly, then bowed and said: "I obey your Majesty's orders, please come to the palace and see Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yuliang smiled without answering, just looked at him quietly.

Seeing this, the eunuch flicked the whisk, and said: "Mr. is a great talent, so you can't fail to see what His Majesty is thinking. The worst storm in the court has passed, and Your Majesty does not mind that Mr. comes from a family, so please come to the palace to have a talk. "

With a few words, he erected the image of the virtuous corporal in the palace.

Zhang Yuliang cupped his hands and bowed: "Yuliang understands."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at where Cheng Dan was, seeing him smiling and waving at him, he smiled back and turned to follow the eunuch into the palace.

The eunuch saw this scene in his eyes, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes became more dense.

Watching the group leave, Cheng Dan flicked the water in boredom, and took another two mouthfuls of watermelon. He felt that the watermelon was not as sweet as before, so he put down the plate and bent over to fiddle with the budding narcissus by the pool.

Zhang Yuliang didn't come back until three o'clock at night, although his face was tired, but more joyful.

Cheng Dan had already waited so long that he yawned endlessly, and when he saw him, he leaned into his arms and muttered, "Why did you come back so late..."

Zhang Yuliang kissed his forehead, but did not answer.

Dormant for half a year, now the time is approaching.

……

The next day, under the protection of a group of imperial guards, the person who delivered the decree walked into Linchu residence with great fanfare, came to Tingyu Pavilion, and read out the imperial decree loudly.

Zhang Yuliang knelt on her knees, bowed her head and listened to the eloquent words, feeling neither sad nor happy in her heart.

Cheng Dan knelt beside him, ticked his little finger quietly, and winked at him.

Zhang Yuliang smiled helplessly, and took his hand under the cover of his sleeve.
