Your Majesty, please do not

Before deciding on King Yong's death method, Liang Huan came to see him.

As soon as he was brought into the hall, King Yong raised his head and sneered at Liang Huan, and said contemptuously: "It turns out that Uncle Ten still let me live to see my jokes!"

Liang Huan glanced at him, and said lazily: "No one wants to see your jokes, so they come to ask you something."

"Okay," King Yong twitched, "but Uncle Ten wants to answer me first, when and why did he start to doubt me?"

Hearing this question, Liang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Do you think I discovered the flaw first, and then traced it a little bit later? It's okay to tell you, the pretended Juren talks about your plan in the Yongzhou Guild Hall every now and then. Next door, I can hear you clearly."

"Impossible! They said that the Yongzhou Guild Hall was already full."

"I have to thank you for that. When I came out on the cliff, I was rescued by a man from Yongzhou. I listened to your plans for two months in his room."

King Yong stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly, "The tenth uncle is so dignified, he can do such things as listen to the corner of the wall, and he has slept in his room for two months! Hahahaha..."

Liang Huan didn't bother to entangle with him, and asked bluntly: "It's up to me, what's your opinion on the agricultural tax, if you talk to me, it's not in vain."

"It's useless to tell you." King Yong snorted coldly, "If you want to save the people, you must kill Ouyang Qing first. To deal with him, one person cannot do it. I can bring people from Yongzhou, but Who do you have? You have been a prince for five years, eating, drinking and having fun in the palace every day, thinking you are capable, but in the end, there is no one who can use yourself, why are you still sleeping with the people of Yongzhou..."

"Keep your mouth clean!" Liang Huan slammed the table hard, unable to hide his anger.

King Yong laughed lightly, "Uncle Ten grew up among the people, so it's normal for him to have no talent for governing the country. Why don't people say that? If you want to move Ouyang Qing, you have to have your own power, but you can't do anything, so where is the power? I don't know."

Liang Huan probably also understood what he meant, and was afraid that he would say any more obscene words, so he came up with a conclusion calmly: "I won't charge you with any crimes. If you die of illness, you will save enough decency. Count me as thinking about my elder brother's love back then."

"What's the matter, you want to accuse me, do you have evidence?" King Yong raised his eyebrows with a look of disdain.

Being exposed suddenly, Liang Huan was inevitably a little embarrassed, but insisted on saying: "There are still witnesses who want to give testimony, but I dare not let any of your eagle dogs live."

Speaking of this, Liang Huan felt that he had won him, so he hurriedly asked someone to take him down.

After meeting King Yong, Liang Huan called Prime Minister Zuo Lin Zhuhui and asked him directly: "Prime Minister Lin, what do you think of 'harsh people and rich officials'?"

Lin Zhuhui is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has watched Liang Huan grow up since he entered the palace, and knows that he has never cared about these bad things in the court.But a few days ago he had a fight with Lu Shu, and now he asks this kind of question again, which is really strange.

So Lin Zhuhui replied according to his usual style: "There are advantages and disadvantages."

"Where are the disadvantages?" He didn't ask Li.

"I believe that increasing taxes will not stop officials from being corrupt, but in the end it will only hurt the people."

Liang Huan nodded, pondered for a while, and asked, "If it were you, how would you deal with it?"

"The minister will reorganize Yushitai, reform supervision, stop corruption and bribery, and gradually reduce taxes."

Lin Zhuhui had thought about these things countless times, so he answered them fluently.

"Okay, then you can do it, it just so happens that Yushitai is also yours." Liang Huan said very easily.

Lin Zhuhui was taken aback by him, and thought he was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that he really planned to fight against Ouyang Qing?This is not a trivial matter, it is not as easy as he thought.

He had no choice but to bow and salute, and said respectfully: "It takes one's life to do such a thing. The people under my subordinates are all old, and most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death. I'm afraid they won't do it. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Liang Huan was a little angry: "The only one in the court who can compete with it is you. If you don't do it, who do you ask me to find?"

Lin Zhuhui didn't answer, and he didn't know either.

But what he said pointed out a direction for Liang Huan. Only a group of people who would risk their lives would be willing to do this.

A person who gives up his life and forgets to die?

He suddenly thought of the fateful test paper that Bai never sent him a few days ago.

The blood of the veteran has long been cooled by the years. If you want to find a sincere heart, you still have to go to the young people.

The students who failed the exam in Yongzhou left the capital one after another, and the Yongzhou guild hall suddenly became deserted.Originally, Chen Zhi used to walk around the capital from time to time, but now he doesn’t like to go out even more, and just lies in the house reading and writing every day.

Lin Weiyang has never been here again, and at first she was not used to the night without him, the winter alone is inevitably cold.But as time goes by, I found that burning more pots of charcoal fire is the same.

Chen Zhi also tried to find him, but he didn't know where to find him. He wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital aimlessly, but naturally found nothing.

The announcement of the rankings in the palace examination is no longer to hang up the gold list in the city, but to let all the candidates go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace, to roll their names on the spot, and to salute and thank them.

According to the ranking of the meeting, the statement was originally shrunk in the back corner, but he was quickly called out.No.1 in the second class, this is a very amazing ranking. After all, he and Sun Shan were not much different in the test, and the gap between the two times is really impressive.

And another person in Yongzhou who passed the exam, his classmate Wang Qian, was still at the top of the second class in the general examination, but fell to the bottom of the third class in the imperial examination.

Recalling the three policy essays during the imperial examination, Chen Zhi felt that he really wrote well.Personal thoughts cannot be added to the stereotyped essay, and only the palace test that can be freely played can highlight his talent.

However, this ranking did not improve his mood. Being able to scribble on the test paper fully proved that he was not very interested in the future of official career.

When he came to the hall to thank him, Chen Zhi kept his head down.From the corner of the eye, the person on the Dragon Throne was dressed in a uniform, and his expression was covered by the crown, which was as awe-inspiring as this splendid golden palace.

After the palace examination results are released, the royal family will hold a banquet for the new Jinshi. Because the venue is in Qionglin Garden, this banquet is called Qionglin Banquet.

More than 200 scholars left the palace on foot and went to Qionglin Garden.This is a well-structured royal garden. The banquet venue was chosen on a small island in the lake. Although the place is not big, more than 20 tables were crowded.

The seats are arranged according to the ranking in the palace examination, and No. 1 in the second class is equivalent to No. 4 in the total, so it is logical to sit on the front table.

Before the banquet began, people at the table introduced each other.The top ten Jinshi in the palace examination will not become officials immediately, but will go to the Imperial Academy to be students for another three years, and then they will be assigned official positions according to their rankings in the examination.So the ten people at the first table will soon become classmates.

Attracted by the statement's exquisite appearance and unrefined temperament, everyone was very enthusiastic about him, but he only responded lightly.He has been like this these days, not interested in anything.

Sitting next to the statement is the scholar Jiang Ji who ranks behind him. He has gentle eyebrows, and a faint smile hangs on the corners of his eyes and lips.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Jiang Ji kept greeting him, but Chen Zhi only replied with a few light nods.

A table of people was having a great conversation, when suddenly there were two heavy coughs in front of them.Everyone turned their heads to see that Luo Yu, the examiner of the palace examination, was standing in front of them, and said a scene to the more than 200 people.

When he shut up, everyone thought that the food could finally be served, but he said that the emperor would come later to say a few more words, and asked everyone to wait first.

After sitting for a while, he suddenly saw the people around him start to get up, and he knew from the statement that the emperor was coming.He stood up logically, and didn't intend to look up.

"Sit down. Luo Yu, have you already told me?"

When this voice came to his ears, the statement was a bit strange, and he felt that this person's voice was very familiar, very similar to Lin Weiyang's voice.

"Yes, I've said it, I'm waiting for you."

"Okay, then let me say a few words."

So similar, who is this?Chen Zhi looked up and was surprised to find that the person standing there was actually Lin Weiyang.

Because of the close distance, the face can be seen clearly.It is still a familiar outline, but not the charm of the past.

Today, his eyebrows are full of heroism, and he speaks with radiance, the shallow smile on the corner of his lips makes him look kind, but the arrogance in his eyes shows his inviolable status.

He was dressed in casual clothes, no different from these new Jinshi, but several examiners nearby bowed and bowed their heads to him, but he didn't care at all, just talking to everyone.

The person in the memory overlapped with the person in front of him, and the statement made him feel dizzy.

It's dry and cold, and the bustle here is nothing more than false prosperity.In this Qionglin Garden, more places are dead silent.

"Xingli, sit down." Jiang Ji patted his arm aside.

Only then did Chen Zhi realize that he was the only one standing on the table, his legs softened, and he fell to his seat.

"Lin Weiyang" didn't know when she had finished speaking, and she didn't stay here, she said a few words to the attendant next to her, then turned and left.

Watching the strange yet familiar figure disappear before his eyes, the statement sat scribbled, his whole body frozen by the noon in November.

Lin Weiyang's real name is Liang Huan. In fact, this name is easy to understand. Half of the word "Liang" is "Lin". If it is "Weiyang", the place where he lives should be called Weiyang Palace.

So he would disappear every morning, just to go back to the palace.It was really difficult for him to run from the palace to the Yongzhou Guild Hall every night.

He said that he would reveal his identity within a month, not because he wanted to, but because at this point, there was no way to hide it.And he probably didn't want to hide it, what to hide for an insignificant person.

"Hey, did you see that His Majesty the Emperor is so young and handsome!"

"Yeah, how can someone occupy everything..."

"I think Chen Xingli at our table is also quite pleasing to the eye."

"Is this comparable?..."

It is impossible to turn a deaf ear to the comments of the people around you, even if you want to hide, the fragile place is easily broken by a few casual words from others.

Why did he go to the Yongzhou Guild Hall and his room every night?Why lie?

Does he want anything? What's the point of being deceived by his humble thoughts?

Since he was cheated, why didn't he want anything, and turned around and left so resolutely?

He also knew that these questions could not be asked, let alone answered.No matter how much resentment there is, he can only swallow it by himself.

"Xingli, don't you want to eat?" Jiang Ji looked at him with concern.

Statement hastily suppressed the emotions on his face, and said with a hasty smile: "It's okay, I'm not hungry, don't worry about me."

"Let's eat some, your complexion is too bad." Jiang Ji frowned and helped him serve a bowl of porridge.

However, Chen Zhi saw the jug on the table and poured himself a full glass.

At this time, there happened to be another table to toast.These more than 200 people will be the same year in the officialdom, and they will take care of each other.So the top ten at the first table became the targets of everyone's fawning.

Chen Zhizhi, who had been silent just now, suddenly stood up and began to help the whole table drink, and he drank all who respected him.He tried his best to look bold and drink, but his rough movements couldn't conceal the fragility in his eyes.

"Chen Xingli, stop drinking, we don't want to carry you back!"
