The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live..."

"Everyone loves to be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After a few days, the emperor's dragon body recovered, and he officially resumed court.

It was the first time after the year to go to the court, and there were many ministers who went to the court. Officials from various factions were arguing with each other, you pulled me back, and I pulled you back.The weak emperor sat on the dragon chair and was drowsy. He didn't know if he heard what the courtiers below were saying.

The Eldest Prince was punished to contemplate behind closed doors for three months, but the Eldest Prince was not seen above the hall before he arrived for three months.

Three months, whether it is long or short, many things can be changed in these three months. In this short period of time, the officials in important positions under the First Prince were overthrown by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. The person in charge quickly replaces and walks away.In this battle for the throne among the princes, I don't know who will have the last laugh.

There was nothing to do with him above the court, Li Wen stood below with his head down, his eyes closed, let alone the emperor wanting to sleep, he felt sleepy standing here.Since he came to Shangchao, he has been disillusioned with Shangchao, and he has no expectations or thoughts in his heart.

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do"

Until the eunuch announced his withdrawal from the court, all officials dispersed.

Li Wen was about to leave, when he heard the little eunuch behind him calling him, "Li Liuyuan, please stay, the emperor is here."

"Little Eunuch Su." Li Wen was no stranger to this little Eunuch Su beside Eunuch Sun. When he saw Eunuch Su coming, he knew that Eunuch Sun had ordered him, "Please also Eunuch Su lead the way." After going to the palace no less than three times, he still couldn't remember the way in this maze-like palace.

This allows him to walk in the palace by himself, 100% still get lost.He didn't seem like a road idiot before, did he?

"Master Li, please."

Li Wen followed Little Su Gonggong to a place where there was no one, and casually stuffed a small bag for Little Su Gonggong, which contained a few silver coins, to bring good luck during the New Year.He prepared a lot for the New Year, and he had a few left on him, so he gave one to his little father-in-law.

After receiving the reward, Little Eunuch Su happily took Mr. Li to see the emperor.

At the door of the Imperial Study Room, Grand Eunuch Sun, the chief eunuch, stood outside the door. Eunuch Sun made a gesture to let the young eunuch back down, and led Li Liuyuan to see the emperor.

"Li Liuyuan, please come in, the emperor is waiting for you inside."

"My ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." Li Wen entered the imperial study, saw a golden dragon robe from the corner of his eye, knew that the emperor was sitting at the desk, he knelt down and saluted.

"Get flat." Emperor Zhaozong saw Li Liuyuan coming, "Give Li Liuyuan a seat."

Two young eunuchs brought a chair over, so Li Wen had no choice but to thank the emperor and sit down.

When the emperor let him in, he didn't pay attention to him immediately, but lowered his head and continued to review the memorial in his hand, so he had to sit patiently and wait.Seeing that the emperor was reading the memorial with his head down, Li Wen secretly looked at the emperor, and found that the emperor's complexion seemed to be covered with a layer of sickness due to such an illness, and he also looked much thinner, looking even older.

But the emperor is not young at this age. When he was young, he indulged in sensuality, with three thousand beauties in the harem, singing and singing every night, plus working day and night on government affairs, without getting a moment's rest. Naturally, he was younger than people of the same age. To look old.

"These ministers all leave things to me to deal with, what use do I want them to be!" Emperor Zhaozong slapped the memorial in his hand, and all the officials below gave him the emperor's memorial, and they couldn't handle even a small matter well. , How to deal with him, the emperor.

Li Wen didn't know what was written in those memorials, but he could tell that the emperor was not in a good mood.

The emperor is also a human being, and when people must be tired, it is difficult for the emperor to work hard for decades without even having a holiday.If this were to be placed in later generations, the leaders of the country would retire at a certain age, and retire to live a daily life of raising flowers and fishing, wouldn't it be quite leisurely?

People have worked hard for most of their lives, isn't it just for people to live a comfortable life in their old age?Unlike the emperors in this feudal era, they lived and worked until they were old, and they were still reviewing memorials and handling state affairs at the moment before they died. It is no wonder that ancient emperors did not live long, they were exhausted to death.

Li Wen saw that the emperor's illness was caused by overwork. He carefully observed the emperor's face and advised, "Your majesty, your dragon body is important. Please don't get angry because of such a trivial matter. Your majesty, if you think If you are tired, why not put down what you are doing first, take a short rest, and recharge your mind."

Eunuch Sun took a cup of ginseng tea from the hand of the court lady, tsxdz put it in the hand of the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, please use

Tea. "

Emperor Zhaozong waved his hand, picked up the tea at hand, and took a sip.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, the emperor sighed and said, "Zhen, I'm getting old..." He couldn't help being old, and the illness a year ago made his body not as good as before, which made him gradually feel tired and tired.

The emperor's sigh contained indescribable vicissitudes and helplessness.

"Your Majesty, you are Long Live Lord, how can you grow old?"

Li Wen understood what the emperor was looking for him for today, did he really ask him to complain?But the emperor complained to him, what can he do, naturally he has to find a way to coax him.The emperor said he was old, although this is true, but he can't follow the emperor's words, you are old...

"Your majesty, you are just recovering from a dragon body, and your energy is still not up to par. Your majesty, in the opinion of this humble minister, you might as well put aside your government affairs for a while and go outside for a walk. On the way here just now, this humble minister saw the plum blossoms in the imperial garden. It’s just in time, how about I accompany you to the imperial garden for a walk with the emperor, and you will feel better when you enjoy the flowers, and it will definitely be more efficient when you go back to deal with the affairs, what do you think, Your Majesty?” Li asked Cautiously suggested.

He knew the emperor's desire for power, even at the moment before he died, the emperor was still thinking about how to hold the power in his hands, compared to him, he was already powerless to vomit power.

"Let's go for a walk with me." After all, Emperor Zhaozong listened to the words of his courtiers, put down the memorial in his hand, and stood up from the dragon chair. Eunuch Sun hurriedly went in and helped the emperor out.

Emperor Zhaozong took two steps and said, "Li Liuyuan, come and help me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Wen stepped forward, stretched out his hand to carefully support the Emperor's arm, if he accidentally knocked the Emperor down, his head would be beheaded...

This responsibility is so great! ~

The emperor went out, followed by countless court ladies and eunuchs.

Li Wen carefully supported the emperor towards the imperial garden.

The imperial garden, to put it bluntly, is the emperor's private garden, where many flowers are planted.It's just that the cold winter has not yet passed, the vegetation has withered, and has not yet regained its vitality, and the beauty of the yard cannot be seen. If it is spring, it must be another scene here.

Fortunately, today's weather is good, sunny.

"Your Majesty, look how nice the weather is today. The weather is clear and the sun is shining brightly. This winter is about to pass, and spring will soon be here. When spring comes, this courtyard must be very beautiful." Li asked the most important thing about today. The task is to make the emperor happy. Only when the emperor is in a good mood can they, as courtiers, live a good life.

Emperor Zhaozong nodded, and hummed, "Indeed, when spring comes, a hundred flowers bloom in this yard, competing for beauty." Before, he didn't think the imperial garden was so beautiful, but now that he imagined it this way, he actually had some expectations in his heart.

"Your Majesty, when the flowers bloom, I will accompany the emperor to enjoy the flowers. I wonder if the emperor would like to let the emperor come out to enjoy the flowers with the emperor." Li Liuyuan looked forward to it. The purpose is definitely not to enjoy the flowers.

It is a great honor to go out for a walk with the emperor, most people really don't have this opportunity, so he asked for one and let it go.

"Haha..." Emperor Zhaozong laughed heartily, "You boy, you just want to come and see the flowers in this yard, okay, then I will ask Eunuch Sun to call you."

"My humble minister thanked the emperor first." Li Wen smiled cutely, "Your majesty, have you heard a sentence

talk. "

"Huh?" What's the matter, what else has he said that he hasn't heard.

Emperor Zhaozong turned his head and looked at him, the little Liuyuan who was full of weird ideas, he didn't know what he was thinking

"There is a folk saying that says, if you smile, you will be younger in ten years, which means that people should laugh more, and the younger they will be." Li Wen said with a serious face, and continued to use sweet words to win the emperor, Said, "Your Majesty, you should smile more. You can see that you are more than ten years younger when you smile like this. If you smile more, you can still be ten years younger."

This kind of thing really requires Li Liuyuan to have such a tender face to be able to say sweet words to the emperor. If it were an old official with a wrinkled face to say such words to the emperor...

.. The picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it.

"Haha... What else is there to say? It's really the first time I've heard Li Liuyuan say this. All the civil and military officials of the court can't match your clever mouth of a little Liuyuan. "But as expected, after going out for a walk, people's mood became much more comfortable, and Emperor Zhaozong showed a long-lost smile on his face.

"Hey..." This is so embarrassing, it makes other ministers hate him when they hear this, but the emperor praised him, hehe...

Hearing the emperor's laughter, Eunuch Sun was startled. The emperor hadn't laughed heartily for a long time, and only Li Liuyuan could have this ability. It seems that he has to be more polite to this little Liuyuan in the future.

"If there are any interesting things in this folk, you can tell me about them." Emperor Zhaozong thought about it, only to realize that he hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, he was in this palace, and he hadn't heard anyone talk about folk things for a long time 0

Li Wen was walking with the emperor, and told the emperor some interesting folk stories, and when he heard something interesting, the emperor smiled in order to save face.If you didn't know it, you would think it was the grandfather and grandson taking a walk, a picture of harmony and harmony.

The emperor asked about his teacher, Li Wen did not hide it, and told the emperor truthfully that his teacher was a teacher.Although Dean Fu has become the dean now, he seldom goes to the academy to teach. When he was in Nanyang, his teacher only guided him as a student.

I haven't seen the teacher for a long time, and I really think about it a little while talking.

"Scholar Fu is a talented person." Emperor Zhaozong commented on Fu Yihan.

It's a pity that this talented person has no ambitions in court.

They were walking when they heard the eunuch shout, "Concubine Dong Gui has arrived, and the Seventh Prince has arrived."

"The concubine has met the emperor^"

"My son has seen his father."

Concubine Dong Gui arrived with the seventh prince, and took a look at Li Liuyuan who was supporting the emperor. She heard the emperor's laughter from a distance, but she didn't expect that Li Liuyuan was really capable of coaxing the emperor to be so happy

"Let's all be flat." Emperor Zhaozong's eyes fell on this beloved young son, and his face softened a little.

Li Wen saluted Concubine Dong and the Seventh Prince.

The seventh prince looked at the person standing beside his father. He remembered that this official, unlike other ministers, had no beard. "You are Li Liuyuan. I heard people in the palace say you."

"Back to the Seventh Prince, I'm right here." Li Wen met the Seventh Prince twice, the Seventh Prince's facial features looked like Concubine Dong Gui, delicate and beautiful, it could be said that the Seventh Prince was the best-looking among the several princes.It's just a boy and a girl, and I don't know if it's good or not.

Among the several princes, the eldest prince looks the most like the emperor, which is probably a big reason why the emperor loves the eldest prince.The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor must have great expectations for this son in his heart

It's a pity that among the several princes, only the eldest prince has not inherited the emperor's wisdom and intelligence at all. wxya

"Little Seven, come to Father Emperor." Emperor Zhaozong asked his youngest son to come to him, "Tell me, have you heard what others said about Li Liuyuan?"

The Seventh Prince walked to his father's side, glanced at Li Liuyuan, and said, "It is said that Li Liuyuan is a Wenqu star descending to earth."

"Haha...that's right, Li Liuyuan came down to earth to help us, Li Liuyuan, to help us achieve success." The emperor laughed when he heard this.

"..." Li asked.

How embarrassing this is, the seventh prince praised him solemnly in front of the emperor and so many people.

Seeing the innocent and lovely appearance of the seventh prince in front of the emperor, Li Wen knew that no pure white rabbit could be raised in this deep palace, and it was even more impossible for Concubine Dong Gui to raise a little white rabbit, so this His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince looked at the appearance of a little rabbit, fearing that the stuffing inside was black sesame stuffing...

He began to miss the stupid kid in his family a little bit, and at the same age, that kid in his family was really a bit stupid.

A group of people went to the plum garden.

The plum blossoms in the yard were just in bloom, Li Wen helped the emperor sit down on the stool in the yard, and he stood aside.

Concubine Dong Gui asked someone to bring a guqin, and played the piano in the garden. A gust of wind blew by, and plum blossoms fell on the beauty. The beauty raised her eyes and smiled at the emperor.Looking back at Bai Meisheng with a smile, it's no wonder the emperor loves this beauty so much.

As for the emperor, he has loved the country and beauties since ancient times.

Facing Concubine Dong's gaze at him, Li Wen's gaze was steady, but he was thinking that Concubine Dong was not only beautiful but also wise.

"Queen Empress to One"

"The concubine greets the emperor 0"

"Be flat."

Before they sat here for a long time, the empress came with the maids and eunuchs. Concubine Chen Guifei and Concubine Shu came together, followed by the crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince.

The two little princesses in the palace are still young, and they were brought by the palace man, but they have not been seen.

"Your majesty, you have just recovered, so why not come here to have some wind." As soon as the empress came, Concubine Dong Gui had to lean aside. The empress sat beside the emperor, and greeted him with care.Emperor Zhaozong and the queen were young couples. Emperor Zhaozong married the queen when he was the prince.

Concubine Dong Gui hated the queen to death, but who made the other party the queen, she was just a noble concubine, and she would always be dominated by the queen.

"I'm fine. I came here to blow some air, so I can clear my mind." The emperor looked at the few sons who were present, except for the eldest son, all the others were here.

There is something in the emperor's words, and everyone present can hear it.

"Your majesty, your dragon body is important." The queen said something to smooth things over, and raised her eyes to look at the prince.

"Yes, father, your dragon body is important, your body has just recovered, don't be too tired, you should pay more attention to rest.

The prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince said a few words of concern one after another, and Emperor Zhaozong's expression softened a little.Li Wen stood by the emperor's side, he had nothing to do with him, his mouth was shut tighter than a mussel, at this moment he had to keep his words to a minimum, he didn't want to get involved in these royal matters at all.He saw Zhao Xiangyi who came with His Highness the Crown Prince, but the pavilion had limited space, so the extra people stood underneath.

The eyes of the two people were separated, and they glanced at each other.

"I'm tired, let's go back." After sitting outside for a while, Emperor Zhaozong asked Li Liuyuan to come forward to help him.

Li Wen had no choice but to stand up to the eyes of so many people and go forward to help the emperor walk.

A group of people left the imperial garden.
