The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

One autumn rain and one cold, after an autumn rain, the sky in the capital is really cold.

In this weather, even Li Wen, who is in such good health, fell ill, coughing until tears and snot came out.Yingchun wants to invite a doctor for him, but he still refuses to see a doctor. Seeing a doctor means drinking thick and dark traditional Chinese medicine.I remembered that when he was young, he had a cold and a fever. His mother invited the doctor over and prescribed several Chinese medicines for him. His mother cooked two bowls of black soup for him every morning and evening. I poured it in through my nose.

The taste is simply unforgettable!

So if you ask him to drink traditional Chinese medicine, he will definitely not drink it!Do not drink to death!

At this moment, Li Wen really missed the western medicine of later generations. He drank two packs of granules for a cold, and all diseases disappeared. If it was more serious, he went to the hospital to get an injection in his buttocks.Drink Chinese medicine?It is impossible!

"Shall I invite the imperial doctor from the palace to come and show you?" said the man at home.

He said it as if the imperial doctor didn't need to drink Chinese medicine, so he didn't agree. Master Zhao looked at him coldly, and Li asked, "I'm already so pitiful, you still look at me coldly, can you bear it?" He absolutely disagreed with seeing a doctor and taking traditional Chinese medicine, even to death. "Aren't the pears ripe now? I just have a little cough and my throat feels uncomfortable. How about steaming a few pears and eating them?"

"You..." Zhao Xiangyi had nothing to do with this man, so he asked someone to fetch a basket of pears that day.

Master Li saw a basket of pears, "..." Isn't that too much?

He grabbed one and wiped it casually with a grapefruit, and sent the rest to the kitchen, where he ordered two pears to be stewed for him every morning and evening.

Li Tong took the basket of pears and left. Their young master really is, hey...

"It's quite sweet, would you like to take a bite?" Li Wen took a bite of the pear and found it was quite sweet, so he gave the other side that he hadn't bitten to the man next to him to bite.Zhao Xiangyi grabbed the boy's hand and took a bite at the spot where he had bitten.

"Hey, hey, I didn't ask you to bite here!" Li Wen stared, "Don't you know that I have a cold?" This cold may be contagious!

"Pass it to me, and you'll be fine." Mr. Zhao is not afraid at all because of his good health.

Li Wenbai glanced at someone, and said that his cold would be healed if it was really contagious to him, "Fortunately, I'm done with the big things recently, and I can take a rest." But this will catch a cold , and have to drag the sick body around and work hard, then it is really Sparta.

I sat down on the chair, ate a pear, and my throat felt better.

He suspected that he had been tired recently, which would cause his immunity to decrease. No, it just rained a little recently and the temperature changed, so he was caught.

However, his minor illness is not a big problem. When Li Wen mentioned that the emperor fell ill again, it might be because of the weather, and the emperor had not recovered, but fell ill again in the past two days and recovered for a few days. Morning morning stopped again.

It was raining a little outside, and the temperature dropped suddenly. What a happy thing it is to stay in the house at the moment, Li Wen sighed in his heart, lying in General Zhao's arms like a boneless cat .

Looking out from the window, you can still see the rain curtain outside, and the drizzle is falling.

At this time, a burst of eager footsteps came, breaking the rare tranquility.

Zhao Xiangyi heard the voice from a distance, and when the voice was about to reach the gate, he sat up straight.

"Huh?" Li Wen was still a little confused, so he asked the man beside him with his eyes.

"Someone is here, something must have happened." Otherwise, the people around him wouldn't be walking in such a hurry. Zhao Xiangyi didn't finish his sentence until he heard a knock on the door.Zhao Xiangyi got up and went to open the door. Before he could ask, someone said, "Master, something happened."

Li Wen straightened his clothes and walked towards the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiangyi asked.

"It's the First Prince... Just now the imperial guards found the dragon robe from the First Prince's mansion." The visitor quickly told their master what happened not long ago.Zhao Xiangyi frowned, and Li Wen's face was a little dignified, and he asked, "Where is the eldest prince now?"

"It has been escorted into the palace by the Imperial Forest Army." The visitor said.

Li Wen and Zhao Xiangyi looked at each other and said, "Let's enter the palace immediately."

At this time, no matter whether the dragon robe belongs to the First Prince himself or someone else planted it on him, the First Prince is afraid that he will be in big trouble.Li Wen didn't care about the eldest prince's life or death, he was worried about the emperor, the emperor's health is not good, the most feared thing at this time is to be stimulated, if something happens to the emperor right now, it will be troublesome!

"Well." Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zhao Xiangyi said, "Let's go into the palace to have a look. His Royal Highness should be in the palace at this time^" He didn't have to go to the East Palace to find the prince, he just went straight to the palace. .

"Let's go together."

Li Wen asked someone to prepare the carriage, and the two of them got into the carriage and went to the palace gate.

At this time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emaciated eldest prince knelt in front of the emperor and cried out his grievances, crying with snot and tears, "Father, my son is wronged, that thing... really does not belong to my son, Someone must have framed the son, father, you have to trust the son..."

When they arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Empress and Concubine Dong, and several concubines were already there, and several ministers in the court heard the news and rushed over.

The eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Chen, knelt on the ground and begged her son for mercy, crying until Lihua burst into tears, "Your Majesty, Yong Er would never dare to do such a thing, Your Majesty, you have to trust Yong Er..."

"Wronged you? Cough...Who wronged you and framed you? Tell me! Cough cough..." Emperor Zhaozong coughed violently, and Eunuch Sun, who was on the side, was anxious when he saw the emperor coughing so hard. I had to go around and order the little eunuch beside me to invite the imperial doctor over, for fear that something might happen to the emperor right now.

The little eunuch took the order and hurried out.

"Co-authoring means that someone has wronged you?" The emperor kicked the son who was kneeling in front of him. It turned out that this was his first child. He still remembers the feeling of being a father for the first time. He is real. Looking forward to the arrival of this child, watching such a small child grow up, he also felt the pride of being a father in his heart.

How much he had expected of this son in the past, how much disgust he has now.

Time and time again, every time there is a shadow of his good son in every case, every time he kneels in front of him and weeps bitterly, crying and calling himself wronged?Is it wronged every time?Did you really not do anything?Do you really not have that heart?The emperor no longer trusts this son, "I...ahem...I'm still here!"

The meaning of the emperor's words is that I am still here, I am still alive, you people are thinking about the chair under my buttocks!

So can the emperor not be angry?

Yang Shaoyong's body trembled, he knew that if he could not convince his father this time, he would really be doomed, "Father...Father, my son was really wronged..."

The faction represented by Concubine Chen's own father, Master Chen, wanted to stand up and intercede for his grandson, "Your Majesty..."

The emperor glanced over, and the officials below who wanted to intercede for the eldest prince did not dare, "Come here, take the eldest prince back to the mansion. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Let Concubine Chen Gui Take it back to the palace, take good care of it, and don't allow anyone to see Chen Guifei."

"Father, my son has been wronged..."

"emperor……"

The guards in the palace came forward, detained the First Prince and Concubine Chen Guifei, and took them away.

The prince looked at the sons and ministers standing here, their complexions were not very good, "You all go back, the prince and Li Wen stay here, I have a few words to tell you to do."

"Your Majesty, the body of the dragon is important. You must not get angry... This matter has yet to be found out, so we must not wrong His Highness and Concubine Chen." Seeing that the First Prince and Concubine Chen were taken away, the Empress was naturally extremely upset. To relieve her anger, her son will have one less opponent if one person is missing, which is naturally a good thing.

Chen Guifei's daughter has always relied on herself to give birth to the emperor's eldest son to challenge her, the queen, hmph, so what if she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son?It's not that a brainless thing was born.

The ministers below performed a ceremony one after another, and all retreated.

The queen left with the concubines in the harem and a string of court ladies and eunuchs.

Eunuch Sun brought the imperial physician over, and after the imperial physician stepped forward to check the emperor's pulse, he said a few words to the emperor not to get angry, and wrote a prescription for the eunuch to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and he went to the side hall waiting.

After everyone withdrew, the crown prince and Li Wen, who were named by the emperor, stayed behind. The emperor asked,

"You two know why I left you here?"

Li Wen glanced at the prince from the corner of his eye, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, do you want us to find out the truth of this matter?" The only possibility for the Emperor to let them stay is this matter.

"Well, you guessed right." Emperor Zhaozong said, "I will entrust the Crown Prince and you to investigate this matter. Within three days, we will find out the truth of this matter."

"Yes, father, the ministers take orders. / Yes, the emperor, ministers take orders."

The two responded in unison.

Leaving from the emperor, two people walked out from the hall.

It was still drizzling outside, Li Wen came in a hurry and forgot to bring an umbrella, Yang Shaomu took the umbrella from the palace man, opened it, and signaled Li Wen to come over.Li Wen took a look, hesitating whether to go forward, it seems that it is not good?Yang Shaomu's face

It was a gentle smile, and asked, "Gu just wanted to discuss this matter about the eldest prince with you."

"Oh." Li Wen had no choice but to take two steps forward, standing under the umbrella held by the crown prince, "His Royal Highness, how about I support it?"

"No, just come alone." Yang Shaomu didn't give the umbrella to the boy, and the two walked into the rain curtain.

In fact, Li Wen's brain is still a little confused at this moment. He hasn't realized what is going on. The eldest prince and Concubine Chen Guifei were taken away. Judging from the emperor's attitude, could it be that the eldest prince hid the dragon robe privately? is it true? "Your Highness, what do you think of today's events?"

"If it's fake, it can't be true, if it's true, it can't be fake." Yang Shaomu looked into the distance, with a touch of sarcasm hidden in his eyes.When he turned his head to look at the young man, he put away the light that shouldn't have been in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Didn't the emperor ask you to investigate this matter with Gu, don't you have the confidence to get the results out of the investigation?"

"Okay." Li Wen stretched out his hand and scratched his head. In fact, he is not good at investigating cases, nor does he like this kind of thing. The matter of the eldest prince's private possession of the dragon robe seems to be tricky, let alone in this place. At the critical point, it must be inseparable from the other princes.

I just don't know what role the crown prince played in this matter?

"Believe in Gu, this matter has nothing to do with Gu." As if seeing what the young man was thinking, Yang Shaomu stopped, looking at the young man with seriousness and seriousness in his eyes. Think of him as a man who will do anything for the throne.

He is the crown prince, he is the crown prince, as long as he does not do anything wrong, that position must be his, and he doesn't bother to do the rest.

"Well, I trust Your Highness." Yes, what kind of person is the prince, doesn't he still know?Li Wen felt sorry for the prince because of what he had just thought in his heart.

When the two of them came out, they saw Zhao Xiangyi who was waiting for them at the exit with an umbrella in his hand.

"Why are you still here, are you waiting for us?" Li Wen saw this man at a glance, and ran from under the prince's umbrella to Zhao Xiangyi's.Seeing the young man running from him to Zhao Xiangyi, for a moment, Yang Shaomu felt a little depressed.

Zhao Xiangyi and the prince looked at each other, and then they fell on the boy who was half a head shorter than him, and replied, "Well, I am waiting for you here, thinking that you and your highness should come out soon, so I will wait here for a while." etc. 0"

The rain had wet the palace walls, making the dark red palace walls even darker.

The three of them walked out of the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked in front. Li Wen and Mr. Zhao Xiangyi held an umbrella and walked one step behind the Crown Prince.The emperor asked them to investigate the eldest prince's private possession of the dragon robe this time. When they came out of the palace, they followed the prince to the East Palace.

"If the boss didn't do it himself, it might have something to do with the third and fourth."

"It's hard to say, anything is possible."

Yang Shaomu and Zhao Xiangyi discussed the matter of the eldest prince's private possession of the dragon robe. In fact, they all felt that the dragon robe probably belonged to the eldest prince. This one that comes out of the dragon robe.

This matter has nothing to do with whether the eldest prince hid the dragon robe or not. The most important thing is that the emperor no longer trusts this son, so because of the possession of the dragon robe, the eldest prince has already been kicked out.

At this time, most officials in the DPRK chose to be wise and protect their lives, and not many people were willing to step into this muddy water.

But Li Wen had no choice. Since the emperor asked him to investigate the case with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had to start to investigate.Obviously he is from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, so he should be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce?Why is this investigation of the case entrusted to him?

—Forget it, those who can do more work!

Three days later, the prince sent the results of the investigation to the emperor's desk. After the emperor finished reading it, he smashed the teacup at hand and lost his temper.Li Wen followed behind the prince, lowered his head and stared at the ground, really, people can't die if they don't do it, some people just kill themselves.

The dragon robe was really made by the Eldest Prince privately two years ago, and was hidden in his mansion, until this time it was reported and the Emperor sent someone to find it.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor went up to the court with his sick body on his back, and in front of all the Chinese and military officials, he ordered the eldest prince Yang Shaoyong to be removed as the prince, and he was imprisoned in the palace for life, "As for Chen Guifei, she has no way to teach her son. Removing the title of Concubine Responsible, downgraded to Talent... and thrown into limbo ^"

Yang Shaoyong, who was removed from his status as a prince, is now a commoner, and he is imprisoned in the palace for life, which is no different from going to jail.As for Concubine Chen Gui, one of the four concubines, she will be a talented person with no rank, and she will be thrown into the cold palace. She will probably spend her whole life in the cold palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...you can't be so cruel..." Concubine Chen Shi fell limp to the ground.The eldest prince knelt on the ground and did not speak. He was the one who harmed himself and the concubine mother...

None of the court officials dared to intercede for the Eldest Prince and Concubine Chen. The matter of the Eldest Prince's private possession of the dragon robe was true. The Emperor did not order the Eldest Prince to be beheaded because of the father-son relationship.

The officials who originally supported the First Prince's faction all looked terrified. The First Prince was finished, and their official careers were probably also finished.

The emperor waved his hand, and some guards stepped forward to take Concubine Chen Shi and the eldest prince down.

"Let's go to court!" The emperor didn't want to hear what the courtiers had to say, so he got up and took the court ladies and eunuchs away.

went.

All the officials below knelt down one after another to send the emperor off.
