save my poor little one

Chapter 71 The Female Venerable

===========================

Wen Ling narrowed his eyes and led Wen Lingyi to sit on the carved chair beside the carriage. Lingchi next to him looked at Wen Ling nervously, waiting for instructions.

After a while, Ah Hong and Uncle Li walked out from the angry crowd at the gate of the Gong Yuan, ran up to Wen Ling anxiously, and said in a panic, "My lord, my young lady is still inside, what should I do?"

Wen Ling hugged Wen Lingyi and stood up, the expressionless imperial guards in front of the tributary courtyard looked at them and shook their heads: "Go back to the mansion first."

"Yes" Lingchi replied.

Ah Hong and Uncle Li looked at each other helplessly, they could only nod their heads and follow back home together.

Sitting on the soft carriage seat, Wen Ling closed her eyes tightly, frowned slightly, and involuntarily turned the white jade around her waist.

[001: Host, this matter was secretly operated by the third princess. 】

[Wen Ling: Well, the third princess is returning to Beijing. 】

[001: Then this matter? 】

[Wen Ling: It will be resolved soon. 】

Wen Ling got the news from Wen Chenruo earlier, saying that the empress had secretly notified the third empress to hurry back to the capital from the western border, and according to the time, it was almost time to arrive.

The blockade of the Gongyuan this time is probably a trick.

It is heard that among the candidates in this examination, there are the daughters of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

The carriage rushed to Prince Yu's mansion in a hurry, and happened to bump into Prince Yu who had just returned from the palace.

"Go to Chenmingxuan to talk." Wen Chenruo flicked his sleeves and strode towards the mansion.

"Yes." Wen Ling handed Wen Lingyi to Uncle Li, and asked Uncle Li to take her to Qin Siying's place.

Chen Ming Xuan.

Chenmingxuan is Wen Chenruo's study used when dealing with government affairs. It is different from the Jingxinzhai downstairs. Without her permission, ordinary domestic servants are not allowed to guard outside the door, but can only wait downstairs.

Wen Ling followed Wen Chenruo into the door of Chenmingxuan, the personal maid lit the candles and quickly closed the door and left, waiting for the summons in the small courtyard downstairs.

Wen Chenruo sat on the teacher's chair behind the desk, with his head slightly lowered, and rapped his fingers on the desk, then looked up at Wen Ling, who was standing straight in front of the desk, and said, "For What do you think of this cheating case?"

Wen Ling hesitated for a while, then said slowly: "It was the act of the third princess."

"That's right, it's clear." Wen Chenruo laughed, "This matter was indeed done by the third princess."

"Is mother planning to join the three emperors? But the three emperors have been in the western border for many years, and they have no advantage in the court at this time." Wen Ling looked Wen Chenruo directly in the eyes, and explained the situation in the court. out.

Wen Chenruo didn't answer right away, but slowly raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea: "Do you know why the third princess has been stationed in Western Xinjiang for many years, and she fought with your grandmother, and why she was recalled to the capital at this moment?" ?”

Wen Ling lowered his head and thought about the relationship between them. A thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He raised his eyes and stared, and said hesitantly: "Could it be the queen's intention to protect the three princes? Then the emperor summoned the three princes back to the capital at this time. ..."

"Emperor Li sent a secret report that the emperor's time is numbered." Wen Chenruo lowered his eyes and drank two sips of strong tea.

The queen's time is running out, so the three queens are called back to Beijing, and the battle for the throne will officially begin.

Wen Ling pondered for a while, then asked in a serious voice, "Do you need me to do anything?"

"Hehe, you are young, so you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind recently, and the little girl Rumeng should come out soon, don't worry, don't worry about it."

"Yes."

On the next day in the court hall, all the officials in the hall did not say a word, they all waited for the empress in bright yellow robes on the steps to speak.

"All my loves are aware of the fact that the Gongyuan was blocked yesterday, right? I have ordered people to sort the examination papers one by one, but I am here, and I would like to hear what your loves think about this matter?" Duan Si The empress on the throne looked stern, looking at the ministers who were bending over and holding up slender speech boards under the stairs.

"I have something to say," the four emperors walked out of the front row and bowed, "The imperial examination is an important measure for our court to select talented and educated people. It should strive to be fair, just and open. The students in the cold window are the greatest fairness. If the examiner and the candidates have committed favoritism and fraud this time, they should be severely punished. Believe in love."

"The minister seconded the proposal." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment first echoed in a loud voice.

"Second minister." Followed by nearly a third of the officials echoed.

The eldest princess clenched the speech board in her hand, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she took a step forward, bowed her hands and said, "My ministers also agree that the criminal officials and candidates must be severely punished! Fairness should be given to the normal candidates!"

Standing in the second and third rows, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Household Department shook their bodies, their faces pale and silent.

The eldest princess chose to abandon them.

"Okay, when the trial results come out, I will see who are the daring people who dare to break the law knowingly! Retreat!" The queen stood up, shook her sleeves and strode out from behind.

The officials walked in pairs of twos and threes, all keeping quiet, just talking with their eyes.

Outside the gate of the palace, the fourth princess was having a quiet conversation with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and a sneer sounded from behind: "I wonder if the fourth sister has some free time to catch up with the elder sister and me? It's been a long time since we two had a heart-to-heart talk. "

The fourth princess gave Minister of the Ministry of Justice a look, and Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately turned around to salute the eldest princess and then quickly evacuated.

"What Eldest Sister said is true. Young Sister, I am looking forward to your arrival at the house every day. Our sisterhood has always been close." The fourth princess smiled respectfully.

The eldest princess approached, looked around, and sneered in a low voice: "That's all you have? Just report cheating in the exam?"

The fourth princess seemed to be shocked, and hurriedly said: "Eldest sister really wronged me, I only found out about this yesterday, how could it be me? But I heard that the third sister was urgently passed on by the mother emperor, so she hurried back. .”

"Fourth sister, you are still like this. You always want to pin the matter on third sister. Do you think I will believe it?" The eldest imperial daughter showed a cold expression.The third emperor's daughter dislikes government affairs, and the officials all know that, and she has been sent by the empress to the remote, desolate and dangerous western border all year round, how could it be her.

"Eldest sister, it's true. If you don't believe me, I'm speechless." The fourth princess shook her head, as if you didn't believe me and I couldn't help it.

"You have won this round, the days are still long, let's go!" The eldest princess snorted coldly, rolled up her sleeves and turned to leave.

Seeing the back of the eldest princess leaving, the fourth princess lowered her head and sneered: "It's really stupid. If it weren't for your father, I wouldn't know which well I died in." She lowered her head and reached out to pat the gorgeous brocade robe. , and when he looked up again, a gentle smile was on his face again, and he led the maid to the outside of the palace with a smile.

---------

However, two days later, the gate of the Gongyuan in the capital opened slowly, and the candidates involved in the case had been taken to Dali Temple for interrogation. to the carriage.

This time Wen Ling didn't bring Wen Lingyi with him, he carefully helped Gu Rumeng onto the cushion, hugged her so that she could lean on him comfortably, and said, "Someone tortured you these three days? "

"Hehe," Gu Rumeng rubbed her temples tiredly with Wen Ling on her back, "I'm also a judge, how dare they use torture? Don't worry, nothing happened, but I didn't sleep well and I was a little sleepy." As he spoke, his eyelids trembled up and down, and finally closed slowly.

Wen Ling embraced the person in her arms, bowed her head and kissed her forehead lightly.

Gu Rumeng just happened to be taking the exam this time, without her, this matter would still happen.

The carriage stopped in front of Prince Yu's Mansion, Lingchi put a small wooden stool under the carriage, and then saw Wen Ling holding Gu Rumeng across the carriage cautiously, lifted the cloth and walked down.

"Miss, it's up to me..." Before Lingchi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Ling's sharp eyes, and stopped speaking immediately.

Miss Gu's possessiveness towards Miss Gu is well known in the house, this statement is really inappropriate.

So silently sent someone to report to Silin Building, so that the servants in the building could prepare some hot water or something.

For dinner in the evening, Wen Chenruo and Qin Siying sat on one side, and Wen Ling and Wen Lingyi sat on the other side and ate dinner silently.

"Is Rumeng sure this time?" Qin Siying wiped the corners of her mouth with a cotton handkerchief after eating.

Wen Ling finished eating the last meat roll in the bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and replied, "It shouldn't be a problem."

"Well, because of the fraud, the palace examination may be postponed for a while, do you really plan to have a banquet in Qionglin to conclude the contract?" Wen Chenruo said seriously, looking at his daughter sitting opposite.

"Well, she and I don't want to hide it, that's it, that's good." Wen Ling took the mouthwash from Lingchi, covered his face and rinsed his mouth.

Wen Chenruo and Qin Siying looked at each other, but said nothing.

As the queen's only surviving half-sister, Wen Chenruo has always been committed to expressing the sincerity of Yu Wangfu to the queen to the extreme. Back then, when Qin Siying was told that it was difficult to conceive, Wen Chenruo made up her mind to have no children. On the one hand, it is for the good health of Zheng Jun, and on the other hand, it is to make the empress feel at ease about Prince Yu's mansion.

Today's Wen Ling's thoughts are somewhat similar to Wen Chenruo's. A mansion without biological heirs does not pose any threat to the throne. The queen may be happy to ask for an order publicly.

"Okay, the child Rumeng has been tired for the past two days, so don't bother people." Qin Siying squinted and scratched Wen Ling.

Wen Ling pursed her lips, what's the trouble?I call it cultivating feelings!

A few days later, the punishment for the crime of fraud was handed down. The chief examiner was beheaded to show the attitude of the imperial power. The suspected daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and other suspected bureaucratic daughters were sent to the army. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and others were dismissed from their posts at home, and they were no longer allowed to participate in scientific examinations within four generations, let alone become officials.

Only after some severe punishments did the anger spreading wantonly among the people be calmed down.

The matter of cheating in the meeting test was finally exposed.

Due to the delay of the cheating incident, the apricot list release was scheduled for March [-]th.

On March [-]th, very early in the morning, Manager Zhang of Yuwang's Mansion took a few strong maids in the mansion to the bulletin board at the gate of the Gongyuan early, hoping to be the first to know about the situation of the list.

After eating breakfast, the few people sat in the main hall and flipped through the manuals and books.

On the other hand, Wen Ling kept telling Gu Rumeng some interesting folk stories, trying to make her relax.

Gu Rumeng was smiling all the time on the surface, but she was still extremely nervous inside. This was her first time taking an exam. Although she was confident in writing, but the result did not come out, her heart was still up and down, a little anxious.

After a while, I saw Guanshi Zhang walking quickly, shouting excitedly: "I got it! Ms. Gu got it! No.3 on the list!"

"Great joy!" Wen Chenruo couldn't help but be in high spirits. No one in Yuwang's Mansion has ever been on the list, and this is still the third place in the final list, but Wen Chenruo was happy, and repeatedly ordered Zhang Guanshi to give the whole mansion Distribute two months of money to celebrate the celebration, and pray to Gu Rumeng for a smooth palace exam.

Not long after, the sound of gongs and drums came from the gate of Yuwang's mansion: "Happy news, good news, congratulations to Gu Rumeng, the person in Yuwang's mansion, who won the No. 57 in the mid-term exam on March 3, [-]!"

The happy news was read twice in a row, and only after Zhang Guanshi gave a big happy bag did he leave with a smile.

"I said, I will be on the list, and I did it." Gu Rumeng took the official seal knot handed by the official who announced the good news, and held Wen Lingnuan's slender palm.

"Well, I have always believed in you. In the palace examination ten days later, if the questions are tricky and difficult to answer, you can deal with them as you like. It is the same when I ask my mother and the emperor to ask for an order." He took him to the Lingqi Pavilion and closed the room. Wen Ling gave the person on the list a big hug.

"Trust me, I want to be generous," Gu Rumeng put the official seal in her hand on the table beside her, put her hands on Wen Ling's neck, and slowly approached, the fragrance rushed into Wen Ling's nose, beautiful woman Mei smiled and said, "Marry you, I want to be your wife."

Wen Ling embraced her slender waist, lowered her head and pressed lightly on the man's lips: "You are already, don't you know?"

"Hehehe" came a series of cold laughter from the Lingqi Pavilion.

--------

On March 57th, 25th year of Tiansu, outside the palace hall, the tributes on the list looked excited and lined up in three rows according to their rankings, waiting for the voice from the hall.

Following the sound transmission from the mother and mother in the palace, many tributes entered the arena one by one. They only wore clothes on their bodies. Before entering the hall, they were all undressed and searched.

Walk slowly to the front desk, which is the third from the left, and there is a gold plaque with the words Gu Rumeng on it. On the left are Huiyuan: Yuan Shen, the eldest daughter of Shaofu, and Zhang Mingyue, the No.2 poor student. .

No one in the hall spoke, everyone knew that he looked down at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on his chopping board silently, waiting for the distribution of the papers.

"The emperor is here!" Mother Li's sharp voice echoed in everyone's ears.

It turned out to be the queen who came to the palace to invigilate the exam!

The queen sat on her throne, watched the audience, and said majesticly: "Let's begin."

"Yes!" The promise sounded instantly.

Many servants in the palace bent down and held up the scrolls with both hands, and lightly placed them on the desks of many tributes.

Gu Rumeng carefully opened her question roll to both sides. There were only three short question questions. Gu Rumeng quickly browsed through them. The first two questions were fine. When she saw the third question question, the corner of her mouth instantly curled up There was a slight arc.

After leaving the palace, I really have to thank Wen Ling a lot.

Gu Rumeng pressed the corners of her mouth, raised her sleeves, picked up the high-quality brush that she had prepared, dipped it in ink, and dropped it.

This test was taken from Si time to Shen time, and there was no food for four hours. The hall was already grunting in the later stage, and some of them were weak and tense, and they had already fainted.

Accompanied by the ringing of the cut-off bell in the palace, everyone put away their pens and inks, got up and left, and could not stay.

Walking to Tianxuan Gate, two low-end carriages were parked beside the palace gate, no one approached them, anyone with discerning eyes would know that they were vehicles from Prince Yu's mansion, how dare they collide with them.

"How did the exam go?" Seeing Gu Rumeng walking out of the palace gate, Wen Ling stepped forward with a smile, Ah Hong immediately took the exam basket from Gu Rumeng's hand, and Lingchi quickly put the small wooden stool beside the car, letting Gu Rumeng and Wen Ling stepped into the carriage.

Sitting on the soft and fine cushion in the carriage, Gu Rumeng took two sips of tea and said with a sudden smile: "It shouldn't be a problem, but I have to thank you, you have helped me a lot."

"Oh?" Wen Ling became interested. What does this imperial examination have to do with him?

Gu Rumeng squinted her eyes and smiled lightly, her whole face looked extremely pretty.

This smile caused Wen Ling to lose his mind, and he slowly approached, and let out a low laugh, spraying hot air on Gu Rumeng's shoulder: "Would you like to explain?"

Gu Rumeng leaned on Wen Ling's not-so-big chest, and said slowly: "There are three issues in this policy, one is how to increase the number of officials in the court of the girls from poor families, the other is how to increase the military and financial resources of our court, and the third is Yes" Gu Rumeng turned around and put her slender Baijiu hand on Wen Ling's chest, "Ask how to eliminate the occurrence of fraud to the greatest extent, tell me, should I thank you?"

Wen Ling didn't quite understand the first part, but it became clear as soon as the third one came out.

After Gu Rumeng came out of the blocked Gongyuan, Wen Ling was idle and bored, so he talked with Gu Rumeng about how to prevent cheating in this era. It doesn't involve modern high technology, just Some of the means that can be accomplished in this era.

One is: the several questioners were temporarily appointed by the emperor, and after the appointment, they were locked in a heavily guarded place, and all the belongings and servants were not allowed to accompany them, and they were isolated from the outside world, so they could only write questions. The questions are taken out in secret, and the question maker can only release them after the results are released.

The second is: All examinees are to be undressed and searched in the strictest way, and all test baskets are not allowed to be brought into the tribute court, and all equipment is prepared by the tribute court, and patrol soldiers are added. Once found, they will be severely punished.

……

Because there were hundreds of tributes, reviewing officials worked day and night, and on April [-]st of the Tiansu Dynasty, all tributes were reintroduced into the palace hall, waiting for their rankings.

The queen sat on her throne, looked at the students bowing their heads below, twirled her ring, and asked, "Is Gu Rumeng here?"

"Xiaosheng is here." Gu Rumeng strode forward, knelt on the ground and lowered her head.

"Be flat."

"Yes!"

"I read your paper and thought it was a bit interesting. Tell me, what ranking do you want." The empress asked with a kind smile in the upper position.

All the tributes looked at Gu Rumeng sideways in surprise.

Gu Rumeng lowered her head and pursed her lips. After a moment of silence, she said: "I still have a good skin, and I would like to be Tanhualang."

"Hahahahaha" Empress Shen Lang's laughter resounded in the palace hall.

"Okay! I will make you a good-looking Tanhua Lang!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Rumeng said loudly.

------

On the barren mountains dozens of miles away from the capital, a group of cavalry was rushing towards the capital at full speed. One of them was wearing a yellow armor with a sword for protecting the country at his waist.
