[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 22 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (21)

The study room was quiet for a while, and Song Ming and Fu Jue's emotions gradually eased. After drinking the tea in his hands, Song Ming said, "Yuzhou, I have no hope for this test. It will be rainy for a few days after the test. Mianmian, I caught a cold in the exam room, and in the third exam I didn't know what to write."

Lin Yuzhou frowned. The Fu family probably kept Song Ming's illness a secret, and he didn't hear the slightest rumor.

Fu Jue said coldly: "What happened to Fu Yao, our family and the third prince are regarded as deadly enemies. The examiner belongs to the third prince. He will never let me pass."

Lin Yuzhou waved his hand and said, "Chen Minchun is nothing to worry about. As long as your grades are excellent, your ranking will never be taken away by others."

"How to say?" Song Ming stood up abruptly.

Lin Yuzhou knocked on the table, "There are some things that cannot be said, so you should think that we have caught Chen Minchun and make him dare not move."

"His Royal Highness?" Fu Jue guessed.

"Shhh!" Lin Yuzhou blinked, without saying anything.

After the topic of the examination was over, the three of them talked about other things. Song Ming told Lin Yuzhou that the most discussed topic in the court was the prince's choice of concubine and the prince's canonization.

"It is said that he is choosing a concubine for the prince, but the emperor asked Concubine Chen to summon many women from aristocratic families. The purpose is self-evident. What he cares most about is the marriage of the third prince." Song Ming sneered: "I don't know if Concubine Chen will choose a concubine. What kind of daughter-in-law."

Lin Yuzhou went through the forces that the third prince relied on, and analyzed: "The biggest backer of the third prince is the Zhen family. Their family is not short of money, but lacks power, especially military power."

Song Ming frowned: "But the few families that hold military power now, do they have daughters of the right age?"

A thought flashed through Lin Yuzhou's mind, and he said, "The third prince is likely to marry the Wang family."

Fu Jue asked, "Wang Ziteng?"

Lin Yuzhou nodded.

Song Ming was puzzled: "Wang Ziteng doesn't have a daughter?"

"But his relatives do." Lin Yuzhou raised his eyes and said, the more he analyzed, the more he felt that his thinking was right.

Prince Teng was originally the military envoy of the Beijing camp, and later he was promoted to rule in nine provinces. He was ordered to take the eldest prince on a tour of the border, and he will definitely be promoted to a noble position when he returns.He is in charge of important areas in Gyeonggi, holds military power in his hand, and is able to go to Tianting. He is the best candidate for marriage. Although he does not have a biological daughter, his younger sister does.

Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun, one of them is the concubine daughter of the imperial merchant, and the other is the concubine daughter of the Hou family raised under Mrs. Wang's name. They may not be candidates for the main concubine, but if they are the prince's side concubine, their status is enough.

The Zhen family has connections with the four major families, but the connection is not deep enough. If the third prince marries the Wang family, these veteran families can be completely tied to the same boat.

Neither Song Ming nor Fu Jue were stupid. After Lin Yuzhou said that Wang Ziteng's relatives had a daughter, they understood what he meant. If the third prince really married Wang Ziteng, then the prince would have a powerful enemy.

"I went back and told my uncle that we must destroy their alliance."

"Why do you want to destroy it?" Lin Yuzhou looked at Song Ming. His and Ji Shengyan's goal was to change the world. This kind of change is bound to be resisted by the old dignitaries. The main dignitaries who control the country's wealth will be tied together, and then they It's the fastest way.

Song Ming and Fu Jue didn't understand what Lin Yuzhou meant, but they had a feeling that Lin Yuzhou's plan was much more complicated than they imagined.

Song Ming shivered, he suddenly remembered what Lin Yuzhou said once when he was in Yangzhou Academy, he wanted to change the world.

How does he want to change?Or what exactly is he and His Royal Highness want to change?

The thatched cottage was silent, and the atmosphere among the three of them was a bit depressing. After a long time, Fu Jue said, "As long as you don't violate morality or harm the country, I won't stop you from doing anything."

"Me too."

Lin Yuzhou laughed, and he patted Song Ming and Fu Jue on the shoulders, "What do you think? What do you think I will do? I just think that if the Zhen family unites with the four major families, it will be convenient for us to catch them all."

Song Ming scratched his head, Fu Jue's face was slightly red, they really made up a lot of conspiracies and schemes, even the idea that their friends wanted to rebel came up.

Lin Yuzhou talked about his plan for a while, and then the two of them were relieved, and they no longer entangled in the idea of ​​"if my friends want to rebel, what should I do?"

Lin Yuzhou stayed in the thatched cottage until the sun was about to set before getting up to say goodbye to his friends. To his regret, Li Chonglin still did not return to the thatched cottage in the evening.

Lin Cong waited at the gate of the thatched cottage, saw Lin Yuzhou coming out, and drove a carriage from the alley. After Lin Yuzhou got into the carriage, he bid farewell to his two friends, and the master and servant drove towards Lin's mansion.

Lin Yuzhou leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He did not tell the truth to his friends today. According to the plan he and Ji Shengyan planned to promote the development of productivity, and even carry out a technological revolution in this country, this will inevitably create a new class and new contradictions. The families of the two friends will certainly be affected.

If you can't keep up with the trend of history, you will be swallowed up by the times. Facing such a future, how will the two friends choose and how will they face it?Lin Yuzhou opened his eyes. All he could do was to change his friends' minds. As for their family, it was up to them whether they were born or died.

After returning home, Lin Yuzhou began to squat at home again. During this period, he stayed in the study of the Lin family except that he was dragged by Jia Zheng to talk about the past.

He wants to write out all the knowledge in his mind, and the rest is fine, the drawing is the most important thing, and there must be no mistakes.

After ten days like this, it will be the first day of March, the day when the list will be released.

Jia Min arranged for two groups of people, one to stand guard at the gate of the Gong Yuan waiting for the announcement, and the other to guard the pier to prevent Lin Ruhai from returning to the capital, and there was no one to welcome him at the pier.

There are huge crowds of people at the gate of the Gongyuan. Fortunately, this is not the Song Dynasty, and there is no custom of catching son-in-law under the list, otherwise there will be more people.

Lin Cong squeezed in the crowd, feeling that he was about to suffocate. The announcement of the examination results was slightly different from that of the rural examination. The announcement of the examinations was more solemn and there were more people. He was so small that he couldn't see anything.

He managed to squeeze to the front, and before he could stand still, he heard someone shout: "No. 1 Lin Yao, from Suzhou Prefecture, who is Lin Yao?"

Lin Cong was a little confused, isn't Lin Yao the eldest brother of his family?People from Suzhou Prefecture, their ancestral home is in Suzhou, this refers to his home!He was so excited that he pushed his way through the crowd in front of him, got to the front of the list, and saw that high-ranking name.

"Haha...hahahaha!" Lin Cong laughed loudly, and the madman's appearance immediately frightened everyone.

Lin Cong passed the news of his uncle Zhong Huiyuan to the boy waiting outside the crowd, while he himself was stranded in the crowd and couldn't get out for the time being.

The boy who went to see the list hadn't come back yet, Lin Yuzhou was reading in the study, Jia Min came and dragged him to the small Taoist temple at home, and dragged him to kneel in front of Emperor Wenchang to recite scriptures.

Lin Yuzhou wanted to say that it had nothing to do with Mr. Wenchang whether he passed the exam or not, but judging by Jia Min's expression, he shut up. After a while, Lin Daiyu also came, and she knelt beside Lin Yuzhou, piously Lin Yuzhou prayed for blessings.

The two family members prayed for themselves so earnestly, Lin Yuzhou couldn't be more perfunctory, he bowed to the tablet of Emperor Wenchang, and said in his heart: If you accept my worship, you have to do things for me, otherwise I will ask Ziwei The emperor complained.

As soon as he had an idea, the cigarette in front of Emperor Wenchang twisted for a moment, and the watchman and official servants also arrived at Lin's mansion at this time to deliver the news of Lin Yuzhou Zhonghuiyuan.

Jia Min was so happy that she almost fainted, she hurried out from the small Taoist temple, and ordered Madam Liu to reward the messenger who reported the letter with silver money, and asked Lin Chang to tell the servants at home to reward them with three months' money.

The Lin Mansion was very lively for a while, but the protagonist Lin Yuzhou was forgotten by everyone in the Taoist temple.

Lin Yuzhou shook his head, and after burning a stick of incense for Emperor Wenchang, he turned and walked towards his yard.

As soon as he entered the room, he was hugged.

Ji Shengyan whispered in his ear, "Congratulations."

Lin Yuzhou snorted softly, then turned to face Ji Shengyan: "Is this the result of your game with Emperor Jialong?"

Ji Shengyan shook his head: "Although Chen Minchun is the chief examiner, the 18 people taking the same examination are all neutral. It is impossible for them to watch Chen Minchun ruin this exam. Your membership rank is well deserved."

Lin Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, he put his weight on Ji Shengyan, and said with a smile: "I will never believe that the eighteen test takers are all neutral."

Ji Shengyan took Lin Yuzhou's hand and squeezed it again, and said softly: "Hurry up and enter the court."

Lin Yuzhou asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that if I win the first prize, I will also be given a marriage by the emperor?"

Ji Shengyan picked up a lock of Lin Yuzhou's hair, and said coldly, "He dare not."

Lin Yuzhou curled his lips, "Don't give me a sixth-rank official compiled by the Imperial Academy at that time, and just throw it away at the Imperial Academy." If he knew his relationship with Ji Shengyan, Emperor Jialong might really do this.

There are many champions in the Hanlin Academy. Some people have worked here for a lifetime and are still a sixth-rank official until their death. What about the champion?

Ji Shengyan tapped Lin Yuzhou's forehead: "I will transfer you to my side."

"Oh!" Lin Yuzhou elongated his voice, with a smile in his eyes: "Using power for personal gain."

Ji Shengyan nodded and admitted, they are all old men, what else can't they admit?

"Song Ming lost the No. 80 and Fu Jue No. [-]. The matter of the Fu family is over for the time being. Ji Cong's plan failed, and there will be other plans."

After Lin Yuzhou finished speaking, he pulled Ji Shengyan to sit on the soft couch, leaned on his legs, and put his feet on the tea table beside the soft couch, looking tired.

Ji Shengyan stroked Lin Yuzhou's hair and said, "It's nothing to worry about. When Emperor Jialong is gone, he will be useless."

Lin Yuzhou's eyes flashed, and he began to communicate with Ji Shengyan with his eyes: You want to do something to Emperor Jialong.

Ji Shengyan shook his head: Emperor Jialong has many enemies, and some people can't bear it anymore.

Lin Yuzhou: Are you going to add fuel to the flames?

Ji Shengyan pinched Lin Yuzhou's ear as an answer.
