The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the end of the flood season, there were no major floods in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the control was even better than the management method a hundred years ago.

The people didn't know who was responsible for the solution. They only knew that King Ming led them to dig rivers and canals to repair the Yellow River, and there was no flood in the end.

As a result, Ming Wang, who led the migrant workers to dig the canal, and the second prince behind him were unanimously praised by the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and even under the operation, the second prince's good reputation spread to the capital.

The second prince was very satisfied and complacent when he heard it at first, but he didn't think it was wrong when the rumors became more and more exaggerated later. It was Patriarch Zhao who reminded him in time that this was abnormal and asked the other party to quickly control public opinion.

The second prince felt that patriarch Zhao was making a fuss, but after all, he was his mother's family, and they gave him a lot of good ideas on weekdays, so even if he felt that the other party was exaggerating, the second prince still went to find someone to control the public opinion in the capital.

But this time the second prince realized something was wrong, and he couldn't control it?

These remarks spread around without anyone noticing. He spent a lot of money these days but he just picked up the gourd and picked up the gourd, and he couldn't stop them all.

He was complacently praised before, but now he is constantly being praised.

What the second prince is wise and martial is even more powerful than His Majesty.

Can you say such nonsense?If this spread to his father's ears, he would definitely not be able to bear it and walk around. Although he did feel that he was much better than his father, but now the time has not come, and he can't go head-to-head.

There must be someone manipulating behind such bold remarks, and there is no one else to choose except the eldest prince who is competing with him for the throne, but isn't the other party always stupid?How can this be figured out?

The second prince was not reconciled, he didn't want to just fly away for the credit he took to send King Ming to help him earn, so he hurried into the palace to explain to the old emperor that he had no other intentions, and showed his loyalty by the way.

But after entering the palace, the scene he saw in front of him made the second prince stunned and his mind went blank.

The royal father, who usually treats them seriously, is currently making paper kites with the eldest prince.

"Second brother, the kite made by my father and I will be ready soon, come and fly a kite together later?"

The first prince held up the semi-finished paper kite in his hand, and smiled proudly at the second prince.

The old emperor was sticking paper-cuts on it with paste, when the first prince picked up the paper kite in front of him, the other party didn't even look at the second prince, just grabbed the paper kite and yelled fiercely at the first prince.

"Put down the paper kite quickly, don't you see that Father is gluing paper-cuts on it?"

It's fierce, but the tenderness in his eyes can't deceive anyone.

It is clearly only September now, but the second prince feels as if he is in the coldest winter, his body is icy cold, the ridicule of the eldest prince in front of him reminds him of when his mother was just a concubine when he was a child.

Every time there is something good in the palace, the eldest prince is given priority, and the other party uses this kind of smile to laugh at them.

Clenching his fists tightly, the second prince stood there unwillingly.

"Father, you scolded me again. I was afraid that my second brother would not see the kite, so I showed him the kite. Let's play together later."

"You, child's heart, you are so old that you are not sensible at all."

"With my father here, I can be a child forever!"

The old emperor was amused. Although the eldest son was a little stupid and hadn't made any progress in more than 20 years, his innocence hadn't changed. He was still the same as when he was a child, and he could see it on his face when he thought about it.

Sometimes it's more relaxing to play with your clumsy son.

After a paper kite was ready, the old emperor seemed to suddenly think of the second prince behind him.

"Familiar, do you want to play together later?"

The second prince who had stood beside him for a long time had bleeding marks on his palms. Hearing what the old emperor said, he forced a smile.

"Father, let's play with the emperor's brother. It's almost a month, and the son-in-law is going to visit the queen mother."

"En." The old emperor responded in a low voice, then waved his hand at him to make him retreat.

The second prince left the Imperial Garden with stiff steps and arrived at the Changchun Palace of his mother.

Seeing that her son's face was pale, Empress Zhao hurriedly waved back the servants on both sides to let them guard outside.

"Acquaintance, what's the matter? What happened?"

The other party took the second prince's arm and said with concern.

Breaking away Queen Zhao's hand, the second prince gritted his teeth with hatred: "It's not Qi Yan! My good brother!"

"He pretended to be stupid and dragged your father around to play around?"

When he said this, Queen Zhao also understood, and immediately became angry.

"I prepared meals in the palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Qi Yan dragged your Majesty into making mooncakes in a daze! What a joke! The palace is running out of mooncakes? I don't know what's going on with him. Follow him!"

Hearing what Queen Zhao said, the second prince was even more irritated: "Hasn't my father been with you during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Empress Zhao's face: "On the day of the festival, the eldest prince came to deliver mooncakes, and said that he missed the Mid-Autumn Festival with his mother and father. The other party cried and complained, and His Majesty went with him in a daze. I made moon cakes, and we even enjoyed the moon that night! Is this a moon appreciation? Isn’t it missing the old man!”

Empress Zhao did not expect that the former Empress Jiang had been dead for so long, and in the end she was carried out by his stupid son as a weapon for favor, and it was so powerful.

Empress Zhao also felt resentful when she thought that others said that she only succeeded in ascending the throne with a voice similar to Empress Jiang.

How many years has it been!She, a living person who has been with the old emperor for so long, is not as good as a dead person!

After their mother and son were angry, it was Queen Zhao who regained her senses first.

"Familiar, it's impossible for the First Prince to behave like this suddenly. There must be someone behind him pointing it out. You go back and find your Uncle Zhao, and let him analyze it for you."

"Okay, listen to the queen mother."

The second prince agreed, and after having a meal in Changchun Palace, he returned to his prince's mansion and urgently summoned Patriarch Zhao.

"Your Highness, what happened to the old minister in such a hurry? Is it because the entry into the palace is not going well?" Patriarch Zhao asked.

Grinding his teeth, the second prince angrily told Patriarch Zhao what he saw in the Imperial Garden today.

"The eldest prince has always been stupid, this method doesn't seem like he thought of it himself, you or Duke Ming, go and investigate who it is, and find a chance to make him disappear!"

Patriarch Zhao heard the eldest prince's current behavior, and then thought of the recent uncontrolled gossip.

"Your Highness, the old minister estimates that the rumors that have been spreading wildly these days are also from this person..."

"Then he deserves to die even more!" The second prince hammered the table, "No matter how smart you are, as long as you don't use it for me, you should die!"

After finishing speaking, the other party began to arrange manpower: "If you can't find any information on your side, let King Ming inquire about it. He is good at hiding, so he can investigate it himself."

After hearing this, Patriarch Zhao sneered: "Your Highness, there is no need to trouble King Ming, the old minister has already guessed who this person is."

"Who?" The other party stood up suddenly, "Tell me quickly!"

"It's Lu Xiuyuan, our new top scorer this year." Although Patriarch Zhao was smiling, he wanted to tear people into pieces.

The revenge of exposing the fake ginseng to his son’s tragic death has never been avenged. The previous attempt to block people in the alley failed, and the later attempt to plant and plagiarize also ended in failure.

Before, he took revenge on himself a lot, but now that he offended the second prince, what's the use of being the chief assistant?It's not that the second prince never poisoned the old chief assistant.

"What kind of style was the first prince in the past? The sudden change now is not because the old chief assistant's number one scholar's apprentice came up with ideas behind his back."

"Zhuangyuanlang?" The second prince recalled that the person who sat at the top of the Qionglin Banquet looked upright, and he still had the same temper as the old Chief Assistant and the others, but he didn't expect to be so treacherous inside!

"Zhao Shilang, I will leave this matter to you. If you have any needs, you can go to King Ming. I hope you will not disappoint my prince's expectations."

Patriarch Zhao hurriedly saluted and said, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment."

On the other side, Lu Xiuyuan is still unaware of the upcoming danger. He is conceiving an outline plot line for a new theme and a new story, which will be handed over to Wang Batian and the others for expansion.

There was no way, after Yan Ruyu became popular for a while, even though the West Market had no competition, the bookstores on the streets outside all followed suit.

A shop that can sell story books in the capital city has a bad card, and soon many follow-up works will come out.

You, Yan Ruyu, are called a ten-year-old genius Jinshi, and I am an eight-year-old genius champion, hey~ you are better than you, and the book price is even cheaper than you~

After Shi Yunchen knew that outsiders were viciously competing, he was also hesitant to lower the price. If he didn't lower the price, many people went to the opposite side in an attempt to lower the price, and felt like he had surrendered.

Fortunately, Lu Xiuyuan found out about this after get off work: "We can't lower the price, aren't they imitating? We can continue to change themes! These things have happened in Ping'an Town, so there is no need to be so nervous."

Touched the young master's forehead, kissed lightly, and comforted the other party carefully.

"Maybe we have almost written about the subjects, what else can we write?" The young master was still a little uneasy.

"Wait for me." After speaking, Lu Xiuyuan went to the study to get a pen and paper and began to write.

Shi Yunchen who was behind him stared at his wrist that kept writing and shaking, and the anxiety in his heart gradually faded away, as if no matter what happened, as long as the other party was there, he could always think of a way to deal with it.

After a cup of tea, Lu Xiuyuan blew on the ink in front of him.

"Come on, Ah Chen, take a look."

Shi Yunchen took it and began to read it.

This story is about a mistress who came from a scholarly family and married a husband who was a student of her father. The family is very loving. Three years after entering the house, she helped her husband have a son and a daughter. The husband and the child lived a happy life, but because of the arrival of a woman, the peace of their family was broken.

His husband, who went out to provide relief, brought back a vixen, who claimed to be here to repay his kindness.

The mistress didn't think too much about it at first, and there was no shortage of a pair of chopsticks in the house. Even if the husband wanted to take her as a concubine, it would be fine, but she didn't expect that the vixen would start to sow discord in her family when she lived in the house.

The son was naughty and refused to study hard, the mistress reprimanded him, but the vixen wanted to protect him, and said that the child is still young, so let him play whatever he wants, and when he grows up, he will not be able to do as he pleases when he becomes an official.

Educating the children about sex, the mistress is in a hurry. Now, if you don’t develop good habits and study hard, how will you be an official?

But what made the mistress even more angry was that the son actually took the vixen's side, and the son actually thought that the vixen who let him have fun was better!

Not only the son, but also the daughter was misled to sit or stand or not. She didn't look like a lady at all, and she was called casual.

The mistress kept responding to this question to her husband, and if they didn't care about the two children, they would really be useless, but the other party didn't care, and even felt that the mistress was intolerant and falsely accused the vixen.

The mistress was always bewitched by the vixen for five years and was finally poisoned to death. After the death of the other party, the soul lingered for a long time, and then the mistress saw that her husband killed the vixen the next day after her death. Fu became the main wife, and brought back a five-year-old boy from outside.

This is the child of the husband and that vixen!

The mistress was trembling with anger, but she couldn't do anything in her soul state. In the end, she watched her son play around and get into trouble, and finally killed herself. Because of personality problems, no matchmaker came to propose marriage to her daughter. The vixen casually married a rich old man to fill in the house, and ended up miserable.

The anxious mistress was full of resentment, her mind went blank, and when she became conscious again, she found that she had returned to the day when her father made up her mind to accept her husband, a farmer, as a disciple at the age of 16!

Rushed out of the room and came to the study, and saw the ragged but energetic young husband at a glance. The mistress thought that she was bewitched by this appearance at the beginning, so she kept saying good things in front of her father before she succeeded in persuading her father to accept her apprentice .

Pointing to the young husband next to her, the mistress said clearly, "Father! I think Brother Lei Luo is more suitable to be your closed disciple, and Yu Xuan is not worthy!"

"Great!" Shi Yunchen couldn't help but patted the table, "This theme is so special, rebirth and revenge, who wouldn't want to do it all over again and correct previous mistakes."

Lu Xiuyuan next to him frowned. After thinking carefully for a moment, he picked up a brush and crossed out the rebirth part.

Instead, the mistress was reborn and waited until the day when the vixen entered the house. This time she had the handle of the vixen in her previous life, and she always had an advantage in the confrontation in the backyard.

……

"It doesn't look good after such a change. On the surface, the story looks like a vixen is wrong, but if the husband doesn't bring someone back or doesn't obey the vixen, then the mistress won't die." Shi Yunchen took the newly revised version. version said.

"There's no way around it." Lu Xiuyuan looked puzzled, "If you don't change it like this, some men will definitely boycott this story once it gets out, and maybe it won't necessarily cause trouble. It can only be changed like this."

Unhappily pouted, the other party said angrily, "It's better not to show me the first version, so that there will be no psychological gap."

Lu Xiuyuan also knew that the first edition was good, but the background of the current era is limited. If this kind of book is really published in a fair manner, some female readers may not necessarily buy it.

But since his family, Chen, really wants to see it, "It's not impossible."

He poked the other party's angry cheek: "When this batch of stories sells well, we can set up a membership system in the later stage. Senior members who buy more books can unlock the master's mother's foot and kick the scumbag, destroying the other party's future. The version of finding a lover for a happy life."

The author has something to say: ①The old emperor is not simply playing with the eldest prince. Now the second prince is being praised too much, so he needs to suppress it appropriately. This thing cannot be dominated by one family, and a balance must be maintained.

②Women's consciousness will slowly awaken, and now it's just a seed.
