miscalculation

After being busy with the imperial examinations for two months, Xiao Liang ended up staying in the Ministry of Officials and spending all his time on official duties, so that he had no time to miss those who had left.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Zheng thought he was worried about Xiao Jie, and tried to comfort him several times.They acted cautiously until the end of the Spring Festival, but when grading the papers, they had a big trouble.

Dong Xiaolin took a paper, knelt down in front of him and Xiao Liang, and asked them to show it.They took the paper, and regardless of the content, just this handwriting is a big trouble.

During those few days in Chunwei, Xiao Yunxiang did come to the examination room, but it was only to say hello to them, and left after chatting a few words.It is absolutely impossible for him to participate in the scientific examination, or even hand in the paper and leave.However, the handwriting on this paper is ironclad evidence, and no one can completely imitate it to the point of ten percent.

Xiao Zheng sighed and said, "What the hell is Lao Liu thinking? Why did he have to make things difficult for you? He didn't make this paper, and he has a lot to do with it. Such a big mistake in the imperial examination, if it spreads, it's not just for your face. Even the emperor lost face."

Xiao Liang said: "Whether the sixth brother wrote this paper, or he got the topic and wrote it in advance, there is no escape. If he can sneak in, there should not be enough time. It can only be that the exam questions are exposed, and he writes it well. To others. To put it mildly, this article is enough to rank among the top three. Let’s take it apart and see who it is.”

When the two of them took a look at the name, they saw the three characters Fan Yueqiao, which was quite beautifully written, completely different from the handwriting of the article.

Xiao Liang frowned immediately, looked at this person's resume, and secretly investigated, and found that everything was fake.He had no choice but to find out the spy Pei Shang had left for him before he left, and investigate further, only then did he find the clue.

In the past, Fan Licheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, followed him to the battlefield of Dian Kingdom, and later died for him.He has only one daughter, named Fan Yueqiao, who is a well-known talented woman in Kyoto.If the investigation is true, I'm afraid it is this woman who impersonated and sneaked into the examination room.

Xiao Liang didn't want to take her under the knife, after all he still cared about Fan Licheng's life-saving grace, so he didn't know what to do at the moment.

He didn't know what Xiao Yunxiang did to persuade this boudoir daughter to come to the examination room and make such a big event.He reported this matter to Xiao Yi, only said that there was a woman disguised as a man, but concealed the fact that she used Xiao Yunxiang's handwriting, and repeatedly apologized for not being able to find out.

Not long after, Xiao Yi went to the court to meet all the talents of the new discipline in person, and then announced Fan Yueqiao to meet him in court.

Xiao Yi said to Fan Yueqiao and the others: "Miss Fan, as a daughter, ranks among the top three, she is really a genius in the boudoir. I think about it again and again, today she can write any questions, if she can pass all the students in the exam, she will be spared the death penalty , you can choose your husband and son-in-law. If you can’t, then drag them out and behead them.”

Although all the students had a heart of sympathy and sympathy, they didn't want to be inferior to men, so they nodded happily.Unexpectedly, Fan Yue's ingenuity shocked the audience, until the end, no one dared to answer, so they instructed Xiao Liang to answer.

Xiao Liang was in a dilemma, he didn't want to marry this woman, not to mention she must have been instructed by Xiao Yunxiang this time.

Xiao Zheng stepped forward and answered three questions in a row, which knocked her down.He was in the limelight and aroused the admiration of all the talented scholars, and immediately begged Xiao Yi to marry him in court.

Xiao Yi issued an imperial decree ordering them to get married, but after the imperial court was over, he called Xiao Liang in to have a detailed talk.

Xiao Yi asked: "What's wrong with that woman, you don't like it? If you still think about Yun Zhao, father..."

Xiao Liang knelt on the ground and said: "A few months ago, I fell in love with a folk woman, and I was afraid that my father would not allow me, so I stayed in the outer house. Now she is about to give birth. I don't want the child to be left outside, and I also hope to give birth to her." For her title, I still hope that the emperor will fulfill her."

Xiao Yi was overwhelmed with surprise, but he still didn't believe it: "What you said is true? Is it true? Immediately move the person to your house and take it as a concubine. It's not a big deal if the status is a little lower. As long as you give birth to the emperor's grandson, there will be many blessings." reward!"

Xiao Liang said: "It's not easy to move now, I'm afraid I'll startle the fetus."

Xiao Yi nodded, seeing him leave, he asked the hidden guard to ask him carefully.

The secret guard said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the King of Qin went to hang out in the brothel two months ago, and then he often went out. According to the investigation by the humble post, he did visit a house on the outskirts of the city, where a woman was about to give birth."

Xiao Yi said: "After the child is born, drip his blood into this blood jade. If he is the queen of the royal family, he will definitely blend in."

The dark guard nodded and stepped back, just waiting for the follow-up.Ten days later, the child was born, but unfortunately the woman died of a collapse of blood.

After Xiao Yi learned that the child was indeed a royal family, he announced it to the world, and at Xiao Liang's request, he named the child Xiao Huan.

It was already two months after the news reached the northern border, Ji Lan didn't say much after hearing it, and just kept watch and patrolled as usual.

Xiao Jie said: "It's still Little Phoenix who has the ability, it's only been a while, and I'm going to be a baby." He said, but looked at Ji Lan's face carefully.

Ji Lan turned a deaf ear to it, and only waited for the patrol before returning to the tent, sighing endlessly.He thought: "Feng Mian, how long will this plan of Li Daitao's stiffness last? Your Majesty will bestow a marriage sooner or later, how long can you hide?"

Three years passed quickly, Ji Lan was gradually promoted from a pawn to a lieutenant, and Xiao Jie also became an adjutant.They supported each other on the battlefield, became confidantes, and saved their lives in distress several times.There is even a rumor in the army that they are a pair of Longyang Broken Sleeves.Regarding this, Xiao Jie quarreled with others several times, but was persuaded by Ji Lan.

Ji Lan said: "Isn't this just right, otherwise, if Feng Mian asks, you can still testify for me that you have never messed with others in the army."

Xiao Jie almost wanted to hit the wall, but considering that this was indeed the best way, he simply let others talk.

From imperial examinations to disaster relief and chaos suppression, Xiao Liang almost traveled half of Jiangling together with Ji Ze.From ignorance in government affairs to quick-witted and wise, he has become more and more like a prince.

Ji Ze married Miss Yin's family and gave birth to a daughter, but it's a pity that he couldn't wait for Ji Lan to come back after the wedding.These three years have been serving Xiao Liang around, seeing that he never accepted the beauties sent by officials, even the two concubines given by Xiao Yi were sent to take care of Xiao Huan, he was deeply moved.

There was a rebellion in the northwest, Xiao Liang went there in person, not wanting to fall into an ambush by mistake, he lost the news for a while, and everyone in the court was shocked.Xiao Yi urgently ordered the northern defenders to go to support them, and ordered the King of Jiannan to join forces with them to suppress the rebellion.

Xiao Liang hid in the cave with everyone, looking at the seriously injured Ji Ze with a sad face.They were about to run out of food and medicine, so they had to rely on their subordinates to go hunting. If they accidentally encountered rebels, they would die.

Ji Ze was dying, and said to Xiao Liang: "Your Highness, don't give your subordinates any more medicine, save it for emergencies. The subordinate's injuries are beyond recovery, so don't drag everyone down."

Xiao Liang persuaded: "No, this king must save you! General Ze, you are my ever-victorious general in Dongling, no one in the world is afraid, how can you die here!"

Ji Ze shook his head and said, "When I was injured in the Dian Kingdom, my subordinates thought they would die. Now that I have married a wife and had children, it is not in vain. As a victorious general, I have almost forgotten what the battlefield is like. "

Xiao Liang said: "You hold on, after you go back, this king will definitely intercede with your father, and you will take back the seal of command, send your master to go north, and have a good time with the people in the northern region."

Ji Ze breathed very reluctantly: "Thank you, Your Highness, but it's a pity that Ji Ze's fate dictates this, and we can't force it. There is only one thing, I hope you can give me permission. The three generations of generals of the Ji family only hope that the battlefield will be stained with blood, and they don't want to be busy all their lives." The matter between you and Jingbo, I have nothing to say, but please don't trap him in shallow water, let him soar. You will be enthroned as emperor sooner or later, and you have Sangong and Liuyuan, so why bother with him. He is a stubborn , if you don't want to let go, I'm afraid he will guard you for the rest of your life. I am his eldest brother, and I really don't want him to be alone and guard you across the deep palace."

Xiao Liang sighed: "I promise you that I will let him fight on the battlefield, and my ambition will be rewarded, but I really can't let him go."

When Ji Ze heard this, he just shook his head lightly, then stopped talking, and passed away suddenly the next night.

When Xiao Zheng and Ji Lan found them, they saw Xiao Liang guarding Ji Ze's body, and had been unconscious for a long time.

Three days ago, Xiao Liang woke up, glanced at Ji Lan, but remained silent.He took Xiao Zheng back to the government office, ordered the arrest of Kou Qian, the magistrate, and said to him: "As an official of the imperial court, why did you frame this king!"

Kou Qian said: "You hacked and killed my younger brother Kou Peng in the street, which caused my mother to be overly sad and died of depression. My father also died of illness not long after he was exiled. Shouldn't I take revenge!"

Only then did Xiao Liang remember that he was the elder brother of the person who was killed in front of Fengyi Tower that day, and immediately said: "Come here, divide Kou Qian's body into five horses!"

Xiao Zheng hurriedly persuaded: "Feng Mian! This is too cruel, and I'm afraid it will damage your reputation!"

Xiao Liang shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, why should such a person stay? Ji Ze is a famous general in the world, victorious in every battle, and he died like this for this kind of person! You say, if I don't kill him, how can I be worthy of blood on the battlefield sons of mine!"

After Kou Qian was quartered by five horses, Xiao Liang and Xiao Zheng either beheaded or recruited the rebels.During the whole three months, he hardly spoke a word to Ji Lando except for discussing military affairs.

Because of Xiao Zheng's presence, Ji Lan never dared to go to look for him, but just looked at him every day.

Seeing that the rebel army was pacified, Xiao Liang wanted his teacher to return to the court, and Ji Lan wanted to go back to the border.Unable to restrain himself, he sneaked into Xiao Liang's camp.

Xiao Liang was not in the tent, and went outside to relax by the lake without taking anyone with him, just staring at the half moon in a daze.

"Feng Mian, I haven't seen you for three years, how can you bear to ignore me?"

"You go, I don't want to see you."

"Because of elder brother, you feel ashamed of me?"

"I can't save him, and one day, I won't be able to save you either."

"Look at me!" He pressed him forcefully, and met his eyes, but saw that his eyes were red.

"sorry."

He hugged him, stroking and comforting him, but he didn't know where to start.The two were silent for a long time before slowly separating.

Xiao Liang continued: "Jing Bo, the Emperor Father is about to confer a marriage, but I don't know how long I have to wait before you return to court."

Ji Lan said: "Don't worry, give me a few more years, and I will definitely win the Northern Territory."

Xiao Liang sighed: "I'm so tired."

Ji Lan hugged him to her chest and said, "It doesn't matter, there is always hope. Feng Mian, you have to wait for me."

Xiao Liang said: "Your elder brother said that you should be allowed to fight on the battlefield."

Ji Lan caressed him and said, "He's right, but I went to the battlefield to calm the world, and come back to stay by your side as soon as possible."

The two were talking to each other by the lake, but they didn't notice the figure a little further away.Xiao Zheng never thought that there would be such a thing, and he could only turn a blind eye to it for a while and walk away slowly.
