The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

There are two people standing on the main hall facing each other, one side has a large number of people, and the other side has only one person. The young man's figure is thin, but Li Liuyuan's fighting power alone is not inferior to the large and powerful side at all. Faintly overwhelm the opponent.

Seeing that the other party was suppressed by him, he could hardly lift his head, Li Wen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and he was not aggressive. Otherwise, what was originally reasonable to him would become unreasonable.People in the world are like this, they always sympathize with the weak, even if he is the right one, so we can't underestimate people's hearts and public opinion.

And... who wouldn't know how to pretend to be pitiful! ! !

However, he didn't cry out for grievances like the Master Zhang next to him, crying to convince the emperor to believe him.Li Wen just stood on top of the main hall, silent, with an expression of "I'm wronged, I just don't say it"

A weak young man, being bullied by a group of officials, looks pitiful, right?

Life comes into play, it all depends on acting skills, and it is about this moment.

In the morning, everyone quarreled all morning, but there was no result.The emperor sitting on the dragon chair didn't express his position, he didn't show any side, but he didn't respond to the officials' proposal to punish Li Liuyuan.

"Deliberate on this matter later, let's go back to the court." Emperor Zhaozong waved his hand and left with the eunuchs and court ladies.

"I will send you off to the emperor respectfully..." All the officials knelt down and sent the emperor off, watching the emperor's guard of honor leave before getting up one by one.

Mr. Zhang, who was impeached by Li Liuyuan just now, got up tremblingly from the ground, glanced at Li Wen unkindly, snorted heavily, and walked over to the officials on their side.

Li asked, "..."

--snort!Who wouldn't hum!

——Ma Dan, I don't care about an old man like you!

The officials clustered around Dong Xiang, all rushing to flatter Dong Xiang.

In the same way, there are many officials surrounded by University Scholar Zhan. Sometimes Zhan always dislikes Dong Xian.It's just that this time the land reform involves the interests of their own groups. Zhan sometimes doesn't express his position on this matter, so the officials of his faction don't speak up.

After the dynasty was dispersed, the officials could leave on their own.

The eldest prince and the third prince left with their people, the fourth prince was still standing beside His Royal Highness, Yang Shaomu was looking at Li Wen.Yang Shaojian followed the prince's line of sight and saw Li Liuyuan who was straightening his clothes with his head bowed. Just now, the young man was standing alone on the main hall and verbalized a group of officials without any flinching or fear. At that moment, Li asked who this person was attracted him.

Yang Shaojian looked at Li Wen with a bit of inquiry in his eyes. This Li Wen brought him more and more surprises.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Li Wen subconsciously raised his head to look at the source of the line of sight, first he saw the prince looking at him, and at the same time noticed the fourth prince standing beside the prince.With just one glance, he lowered his head, staggered his gaze, and lowered his head slightly to show respect for the crown prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

Li Wen didn't know much about this fourth prince. Compared with the other four princes, this fourth prince had a low sense of existence, acted in a low-key manner, and behaved indifferent to the world. He didn't fight for it at all. chair meaning.This His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince never seemed to form a clique, and there seemed to be no officials in the court who supported His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

The mother and concubine of the fourth prince came from a low family background and had no help from her family. Concubine Gu was not favored in the palace, so naturally she had no status.But it is such a woman who can survive in the man-eating deep palace, and can conceive a dragon son, give birth to and raise the child smoothly. That concubine Gu took a high look.

Li Wen only saw that Concubine Gu from a distance at the palace banquet, His Highness the Fourth Prince's long-looking mother Xiao, and from the appearance of the Fourth Prince's Highness, it can be guessed that Concubine Gu's appearance is not that long. Where will it go.

The emperor doesn't have many sons. There are four adult princes and two immature ones. So logically speaking, no matter how unfavored the concubine Gu in the palace is, no matter how she has a prince under her knees , the status is not so bad, it is not so insignificant, so there is only one thing, it is that Concubine Gu deliberately made it for others to see.

Is there really a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor?

——Li Wen naturally didn't believe it.All people have desires, especially a person who has been in a state of depression for a long time, is even more eager to be released, to stand at the highest place and become a master.Therefore, judging from such a successful personality created by the fourth prince, Li Wen has to say that the fourth prince is the one who hides something deeply.

Leaky people.

Throughout the 5000-year history of China, those who can become emperors are often those who know how to endure.

"Fourth brother, let's go." Yang Shaomu withdrew his gaze from Li Wen, turned his head slightly, and looked at Yang Shaojian beside him.At this time, Yang Shaojian had already withdrawn his eyes from Li Liuyuan, and nodded to the prince, still showing a calm and breezy look on his face.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince walked past him, Li Wen saluted them.

Zhao Xiangyi did not follow His Royal Highness, but fell behind a few steps, waiting for the young man to come up.

Seeing Zhao Xiangyi standing not far away, this is the only way to leave the palace, Li Wen knew that this person was standing here specially to wait for him.But just as he was about to walk over, the little Eunuch Su who hurried over from the trail appeared in front of him, just blocking his way, "Lord Li, the emperor invites you to go to the Imperial Study Room

This is the emperor sent someone to look for him.

Li Wen glanced at the man standing not far away, and when Zhao Xiangyi saw the little father-in-law looking for the boy, he knew that the emperor sent someone to look for Li Wen.The two met each other for a glance, even if they didn't speak, they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Su please lead the way"

"Master Li, please."

Li Wen followed the little eunuch, and Zhao Xiangyi led the people out towards the palace gate.

After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Zhaozong lost his temper and smashed all the teacups that he usually used for tea, "It's so unreasonable!" These people really think that he, the emperor, doesn't know anything. !Now they are still united, forcing him, the emperor, to do something to his little Liuyuan, and asking him, the emperor, to order his little Liuyuan to be killed, it is really unreasonable!

Obviously he is the emperor, how dare these people force him to be the emperor!

It really makes no sense!

"Go, find Li Liuyuan for me... Also, send someone to find Zeng Yushi for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will send someone to invite Mr. Zeng here."

Eunuch Sun went out and ordered the little eunuch to ask Li Liuyuan and Mr. Zeng to come over, and ordered the maid in service to go down and make another cup of tea, and let people come in to clean up the debris on the ground.

When the maid made the tea, Sun Haide took the teacup from the maid's hand, brought the tea to the emperor's hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the body of the dragon is important. The imperial doctor told you not to get angry. Why do you... talk to them?" It’s not worth it to be angry, be careful if you get angry^”

"These people wish I could die sooner!" Emperor Zhaozong's face was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Sun knelt down, and all the court ladies and eunuchs in the imperial study knelt down, Eunuch Sun blushed, "Long Live Lord, don't say such things, you are Long Live, you are the Son of Heaven, you are If you want to live a long life, we servants will follow you to serve you."

"You old bastard opens his mouth, and you are the only old bastard who can talk all day long."

I don't know if it was the old eunuch's loyalty that moved him, or because of this sentence of long live, although Emperor Zhaozong detested the old eunuch in his words, he was not as angry as before.

Eunuch Sun has been serving the emperor by his side for so many years, and he knows a thing or two about every word and tone the emperor said. As soon as he heard the emperor's words, he knew that the emperor had lost his anger, and he was busy again. After several words of coaxing, the coaxing person was happy, and he took the tea with his own hands, and served the emperor to drink tea, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea, please be happy."

Hearing from people outside that Mr. Li arrived, Eunuch Sun went out and invited someone to come in.

Master Zeng also arrived following Zeng Yu. Zeng Yu is the supervisory censor of the Inspectorate. He is an official with a small official position but great power.Although the censor is a speech officer, he has a lot of power in his hands. He is in charge of supervising officials, inspecting prefectures and counties, and correcting prison sentences. A powerful official position.

Zeng Yu, in his early 20s, was Li Wen's second place in the last scientific examination, and in his early 20s, he has achieved the position of supervisory censor all the way.

What the censor does in the court is to impeach people. He impeaches anyone who doesn't like him all day long. He is an official who even dares to jump out and accuse wrongdoers.This Zeng Yu is a leader among the censors. As long as he impeaches, there is no one who cannot be killed. Zeng Yushi impeaches officials, unlike other censors who open their mouths and say nothing. Everything he wants to impeach officials , I will investigate in advance, and after I have enough evidence, I will impeach the other party in front of the emperor.

I have to say that Li Wen and Zeng Yu are quite similar in this regard.

Zeng Yu has heard of Li Wen and Li Liuyuan's name, and Li Wen naturally knows that Zeng Yu was the censor, but the two of them had never dealt with each other before. Today, at the Yushufang, it was the first time that the two of them met face to face. .Seeing Zeng Yu appearing in the imperial study room like him, Li Wen guessed in his heart what the emperor asked Zeng Yu to come over.

"Zeng Zhang"

"The minister is here.''

Emperor Zhaozong threw a booklet to Zeng Yu, which was exactly the booklet Li Wen used to impeach Mr. Zhang, "Look at it."

Zeng Yu opened the brochure, and quickly read it at a glance. He is not qualified to go to court, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know what happened early. "If what Master Li said is true, what Master Zhang did The next behavior..."

Beheading is easy!

"I have sent you a mission here. You take someone to secretly investigate Zhang Lingrong, the Secretary of the General Administration and the Secretary of the Zuozheng, to find out whether this is true." The emperor is not blind, he has the ability to judge who is telling the truth and who is telling the truth. Lies, he is naturally clear.

Just as an emperor, Emperor Zhaozong also had concerns.

The reason why Emperor Zhaozong didn't order people to investigate this matter was that the matter was of great importance, and secondly, there must be more than one official in the court to do such a thing.The best way to do this is to send someone to investigate secretly. As for how to deal with it at that time, it depends on the results of the investigation.

"Yes, my minister obeys the order." Zeng Yu led the order.
