Mrs. Mo said he would not agree
Chapter 50
Mo Jingchun understood what kind of trick Gongyeqi wanted to play. He circled the room expressionlessly, and finally tied up his mouth several times to forcefully block his voice.
When Gong Yeqi caught him, he really didn't expect to be able to do this, he was out of breath from laughing immediately, and went back to bed with the big baby Mo Jingchun in his arms.
This is Mo Jingchun's territory, but it's a pity that because it is Mo Jingchun's territory, he is the one with his hands tied.
Gong Yeqi forcibly took the drenched cloth from Mo Jingchun's mouth, and said helplessly, "Don't you panic?"
Mo Jingchun said coldly: "It's better than talking."
Gong Yeqi pressed stickily beside Mo Jingchun like a giant beast, and asked with a smile, "This is all from the heart of the master, don't you think it's interesting?"
"It's His Majesty who finds it interesting."
Mo Jingchun cast a sideways glance at him, leaving only Chuchen forced to see through.
He couldn't beat the emperor again, otherwise he would beat the emperor violently.
Gong Yeqi really had bad intentions, and he was groping around with his fingers, but he said insistently, "If Master Hong Xing hadn't cheated, the widow wouldn't have come here specially. Master, do you know you The Mo residence is heavily guarded, it is too difficult to prevent the servants from coming in!"
Mo Jingchun had to answer him with "I know" at first, and then he was so helpless by Gong Yeqi's "Hongxing is out of the wall". The security is strict, shouldn't Your Majesty keep his heart and not leave the palace casually?!"
As for cheating, he didn't even bother to talk about it, and regardless of the fact that the entangled relationship between him and His Majesty had not yet been finalized, how could it be considered cheating when he brought Xi and Fang back?
Gongye raised his eyebrows, "Okay, Master didn't explain the fact of cheating at all. Could it be that he really planned to cheat?"
Mo Jingchun subconsciously said: "If I want to get out of the wall, it's useless if you install ten people outside."
Oops, how did this heart come out?
Gongye Qi was thoughtful, "How do you know I sent ten people?"
Mo Jingchun was shocked, "Did you really send ten people?"
The two looked at each other.
Gong Yeqi hurriedly gnawed it down before Mo Jingchun could speak, and brought Mo Jingchun into the sea of desire, making him unable to think of any words to persuade him!
He knows.
As long as he looks pitiful and wronged, Mo Jingchun doesn't know why he can't refuse him all the time, and once he has a so-called legitimate reason, he can happily turn his wife over and over again!
At the end of the ugly hour, there seemed to be a loud bang in the house.
Mohen raised his head vaguely, was pressed down by Wei Yi and said that I would go and have a look, and then fell asleep again.
But in fact, Wei Yi stood outside the house with a blank face, and didn't plan to go in at all.
Hello, what are you two doing?
The next day, Emperor Zhengshi happily went to court with a bruise on his forehead. The faint blue color was hidden under the swaying bead curtain, and he couldn't see anything when he wore the crown. On the contrary, Liu Hao was frightened to death. Shidi said impatiently that he fell so hard that he dared not speak.
...Okay, if you said you fell, then so be it.
Mo Jingchun stood below with a look of calmness that saw through the world. Before the court meeting began, Zhang Qianzhao still grabbed his sleeve and said, "Why did you change the spices? I thought I had entered a Buddhist temple with this sandalwood fragrance."
Mo Jingchun said calmly, "Isn't that good? Cut off all worldly thoughts, and you've completely enlightened."
Zhang Qianzhao was taken aback, "You don't want to become a monk, do you?"
Although Zongzheng Temple manages these Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, don't put yourself in it.
Mo Jingchun said quietly: "That would be a good thing."
Abstinence!
Abstinence!
Emperor Zhengshi coughed, knowing that last night he was a little excited and Meng Lang played some tricks that he hadn't used before, but the master at that time was really delicious...
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Zhengshi said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
He didn't hear clearly what the officials below were saying, but Mo Jingchun could hear clearly.
This is again to persuade His Majesty to marry the Empress.
Emperor Zhengshi has always listened to these things, he will not be as irritable as before, but he will not let them talk too much. After a while, if there are too many people, he will beat a few. move.
Mo Jingchun lowered his head, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Zhenming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials holding the court board, hesitating, as if he wanted to speak out, but hesitated again and again.
In the cabinet, Huang Zhenghe and Wang Zhenming were the two most disliked by Emperor Zhengshi.
Huang Zhenghe is a person who has no profit and can't afford it early, but Wang Zhenming loves to flirt with the aristocratic family. He was the one who sent Xu Shangde to Suzhou and Hangzhou with Xu Boheng at the beginning.However, although Xu Boheng had his own views on court affairs, he was the only one who went to the extreme with Zhongjun. Otherwise, why did Emperor Zhengshi still keep him now?
This Wang Zhenming is completely different.
Mo Jingchun once thought that Wang Zhenming belonged to the eldest prince, but back then His Majesty wrote "four".Now the fourth prince is gone, but Wang Zhenming is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, how can Mo Jingchun not know that Emperor Zhengshi wants to put a long line to catch big fish?
Looking at the recent movement of the government and the public, Wang Zhenming's bait is indeed a bigger fish.
What Xu Shangde said before his death, Lin Yushi expelled his own daughter from the genealogy, the aristocratic family and the courtiers joined forces to persecute the clan, and the clan was ready to move... Coupled with the fact that Mo Jingchun knew about the imperial examination in advance, he had an idea in his heart .
After returning home, Mo Jingchun called Mohen over.
Mohen leaned forward: "Lang Jun asked the younger one to investigate before, and the person has been found, but it is not in Guangde Temple, but in Hanmen Temple."
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, this is troublesome.
Mo Jingchun asked Mohen to investigate the whereabouts of Lin Yushi's daughter. Apart from being beheaded and exiled and serving as official prostitutes, the downtrodden female family members will be locked up in the temple. The official temple is not a serious Buddhist temple, but a place like a cold palace confinement, suffering terribly.
Guangde Temple is one of them, and it is where all the female relatives will go.
But the Hanmen Temple is the only unlucky place here. If the female relatives of a normal family enter, they will be rubbed to death within ten days and a half months, let alone Xu Shangde, it will take several months.
But Mohen said: "Erlang, that girl seems to be still alive."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Mo Hen said with a smile: "When I went to investigate, I found that in the winter, a steady woman was called in. It is strange to say that in this Hanmen Temple for more than half a year, only Mrs. Xu is pregnant."
If there were no such dirty things in that temple, then Mrs. Xu might still be alive.
Of course, if it was really her, the child would be born, and the person might be gone.But Mohen also secretly went to the mass grave to see, but there was no such person.
Mo Jingchun pointed at Mohen and smiled, "You dare to touch the mass grave in the middle of the night, if you knew it, Da Lang would take you away."
Mo Hen cried out, "As for the young man's skill, Da Lang still doesn't like it."
Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled, but it was just for fun, after all, Mohen has been by his side for several years, and it is very useful.On the contrary, he is a bit more powerful than the previous steward, and his work is very reliable. He and Wei Yi have gradually become Mo Jingchun's right-hand men.
What is Wei Yi's background, Mo Hen also has a vague guess, but although he doesn't know why there is a family background in the palace, but this is Erlang's business, he doesn't say or do anything, Mo Hen just treats it as nothing. have no idea.
"Since it is still possible for people to live, we have to try a thing or two. If we can save people, there may be something else to say."
Mohen did it by himself.
After a while, Mo Jingchun heard that the scientific examination was about to start.
The exam questions had already been prepared, but just before the examiner was about to go out, the palace rushed over and sent another copy, saying that this one was more useful, and His Majesty personally ordered it.
This was an unprecedented thing. The examiner also checked the imperial decree with his own eyes, and then saw Liu Hao's presence before accepting it.When they went in with the test questions and beat the drum to announce, the faces of some candidates present turned slightly pale.
It's just that among the many students and inspectors, they don't seem to be outstanding.
The matter of this exam, after a few days, is always a headache.
Especially when the pressure is on one's own future, whether it is the carp jumping the dragon's gate or the name falling into the sun mountain, this trembling is completely different.And this year Enke heard that it was different from usual, His Majesty personally took the school examination.
What is an in-person exam?
Even the final correction is up to me!
Was it a miracle?
Then there is more!
After the results came out in mid-February, dozens of people who were famous in front of the palace were arrested one by one and questioned in front of the palace.This time, Emperor Zhengshi didn't make any papers, but sat in front of the hall and wrote the questions, and played them in court.
Emperor Zhengshi sat on a high platform, a little far away from the disciples, but he was so majestic that people dare not look directly at him.
In the entire hall, only the solemn words of Emperor Zhengshi could be heard, "Today there are captives who are not in captivity in the north, and Baiyue in the south, so my husband can rest in peace, and the people on the side have not been enslaved, so how can I grow up? Liuhe?" (*1)
Mo Jingchun stood on both sides, and after hearing Emperor Zhengshi's question, he knew that His Majesty's first question was the border question that he cared most about.It is indispensable for the emperor to fight against the inside and secure the outside. This is exactly the chronic disease of my dynasty that has lasted for many years.
This is the first question, and none of the high-ranking students below dare to be that early bird, especially in this special form, they don't know what is the safest way to play it.
After a while, someone came out.
"... It will be a laborious task for the teacher if it is collected, and it will be useless if it is obtained. Therefore, the ancients said, 'If there is a land, it cannot be cultivated and eaten; The art of Anbian." (*2)
What he said won the nods of many veterans secretly.
It's a pity that Mo Jingchun knew that this was not what Emperor Shi intended, what His Majesty wanted was to drive out the captives, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be beaten passively like this.
But with the first person throwing a brick to attract jade, the next thing will be much smoother.
There were also other students citing the scriptures and refuting the previous one's words. They spoke clearly and logically, wishing they could rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.It's a pity that Mo Jingchun shook his head after hearing this, after all, he had two generals in his family, and he knew that what he just said was just a castle in the sky, and it was not accurate.
Instead, a thin gentleman who came out at the end said a few words, mentioned various practical issues such as horse breeds and cavalry, and pointed to various important matters in the border horse market and the fact that foreign races rely on horses all the year round, and calmly analyzed the two places. The contradiction is eye-catching.
Mo Jingchun remembered his name, Yang Hui.
After Yang Hui withdrew, no one came out again. Emperor Zhengshi nodded at the few officials who were recording beside him, and then asked another question.
The second question was about salt.
Because the rebellion broke out under the harsh government and heavy taxes in the previous dynasty, which was not clear about salt, and last year because of the private salt incident, it caused waves again, no matter who knows what your Majesty asked this question.
But this question is not easy to answer.
This question is about salt, but it is actually a tax, a treasury, and selfishness.In addition, all the ins and outs of the officialdom, and the attitudes of various aristocratic families seeking to gain a little bit of stink, are actually all in one question.
Some only heard the superficial meaning, and they were eloquent about what happened before.
Some of them keenly heard His Majesty's hidden thoughts, and their backs went numb with shock, Nuonuo dared not speak.
On the contrary, a pale and thin student stepped out, saluted and said: "...they are fundamental, whether it is official monopoly or salt sales, one or two of them are profitable, and all of them make people fight over their heads, but the most important thing is , In the end, the knife wielder has a bad heart and has too much power.
"He is responsible, he is the one who sells, and he is the one who punishes. If the power is concentrated in one person, once it falls, isn't it a disaster? Let one person be sober, and don't let him be tempted first. The more times, the gods in the sky are easy to fall. Become a rich ghost..."
Mo Jingchun took a look, but this person was Xi Hefang.
His speech is not more polite than the previous one, but it is better than that in being simple and easy to understand.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, this person knows the harm of temptation.
It's just that after he finished speaking in this simple way, some people from all backgrounds refuted him coldly, saying that officials in charge must be talented and virtuous. In exchange, if you only do things for the Holy One, how can there be so many crooked minds?
Of course, this is all a small fight, and it is still to answer the question when it comes to the topic.
After skipping two more questions, Mo Jingchun roughly figured out the situation of the students who could pass the palace examination this time.
The first half here are from everyone's background, and the other half are from poor children.
After realizing the importance of the imperial examination, whether they are powerful or aristocratic, they want to go to school, but it is much easier than those students who have studied hard for 20 years.
It’s just that the Tianxia Academy has been fully opened in these years, and it has been a steady stream of students. Although they may not be able to pass the imperial examination, the road of enlightenment has been passed on continuously.
Those students who came from a family background were far less keen on the officialdom than those from the Qing Dynasty. Once they asked about these topics, they would speak eloquently, and even secretly flatter the emperor.But when it comes to people's livelihood, especially the more detailed and acute issues, ordinary students can speak clearly.
These are all questions that are directly related to them. Some of them seem to be only a few words, but they are difficult things they have encountered before. Maybe they have thought about them before, but now they have such related questions in front of the palace. Blurtted out, put it in a simple way.
Zhengshi Emperor's examination questions were one after another, some were written by the previous examiners, some were thought of by himself, and some were sitting in the hall, he suddenly remembered.
For example, there was one question, which he asked Xue Qing, who was sitting at the bottom, and thought of it for a while, so he asked about it.
The special subjects of the law test are not so simple. No matter how much you don't understand the questions on weekdays, you can just fool around with one or two sentences, but with this strict legal question, you dare not even say it casually.
When the hall was silent, Emperor Zhengshi was not angry, and looked around leisurely.
In this hall, he is probably the most comfortable.
After a long time, a skinny student who had never spoken before stood up and said a few dry words.The drooping appearance didn't attract everyone's attention at all, but it only attracted Xue Qing's attention.His face was so serious that when he looked at it, the student was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, but he frowned slightly, not knowing what he thought of.
Seeing Xue Qing like that, Emperor Zhengshi knew that he was not unhappy, but happy to see Liexin.It's just that he has such a stinking face, and others who don't know him look at him from a distance, thinking that Tiansheng owes him a lot of money, and dare not approach him at all.
Emperor Zhengshi raised his hand, and Liu Hao wrote down the person's name beside him.
The countermeasures in front of the palace lasted from dawn to dusk, and there were food offerings in the middle. Anyway, it took enough time for them to come out with their spirits floating.
In fact, the meal at noon was not bad, and the emperor was very caring, but they were not used to being in front of the palace, and they were like mice meeting raccoon slaves.I heard before that it was just making a fuss in the court, so everyone can still pretend to be courageous and do things, just don't look up at others.But this time it was different. What the emperor wanted was their dictation on the spot. This not only tested their writing skills, but also tested their quick wit and courage.
No matter how the written thing is the same as the spoken thing, it is not the same.
It was difficult for them to speak during the whole day, but it was also difficult for the officials who kept records. After all, when one person spoke, two people had to record and transcribe their dictation at the same time. , It's also embarrassing to meet those who can't speak out dryly, the pen and ink are all stained, and the words in the mouth have not yet been spoken!
But with the magical pen of Emperor Zhengshi, even though civil and military officials were tormented enough, they still found it novel.
The emperor and some ministers who were able to see the content of the article before were not as truthful as everyone heard.And among them, those who appear to be generous, thoughtful, thoughtful, and have a plan in their hearts, aren't they just remembered?
Before each student would go forward to answer questions, he must first declare his family background, state and county where he was born, and his surname, and only after he finished speaking could he answer.
There are only five or six that Mo Jingchun can remember, and of course there are Xi and Fang.
Xi and Fang didn't talk much, but every time they spoke, they were very honest. Although they were still a little immature, they had a good brain.As long as His Majesty doesn't deliberately block him, Xi and Fang will be in the front row this time.
Emperor Zhengshi naturally wouldn't get stuck with him.
If he killed the person that night, he would kill him if he killed him.It doesn't matter if Xihe Fang dies in Fanggelou.But since people have come to this point, appear in front of them, and indeed have real talents and learning, it doesn't hurt to stay.
and……
Emperor Zhengshi glanced down, and saw Mo Jingchun, who was looking at the students who walked out seriously, this person seemed to be very important to the master.
He always ignored what Mo Jingchun said.
In his opinion, even if there are ten capable Xu Boheng who fall down now, they are all inferior to Mo Jingchun alone.
Can Xi Hefang compare to Xu Boheng now?
Then... of course it won't work.
Mo Jingchun blinked and suppressed a yawn.
In fact, not only him, but also most of the other ministers.After all, no matter how strong the body is, it will show a bit of fatigue in the continuous day-to-day playing.On the contrary, Emperor Zhengshi, who presided over today, was in high spirits and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He laughed loudly as he looked at the sluggishness of the courtiers, and asked people to prepare meals, just to keep you in the palace for dinner, this happened occasionally, and the courtiers didn't think it was weird.
It was Mo Jingchun who touched his nose subconsciously, feeling a little subtle.
It's better for him not to approach His Majesty later, after all, the number of times today is not enough.
What's annoying about this punishment is that Mo Jingchun hasn't found the secret to the disappearance of this punishment until now, and on the side of Emperor Zhengshi, he doesn't know if the matter between Xi and Fang really stimulated him. He wanted to give Mo Jingchun some time to catch his breath, but right now he would show up in Mo's house whenever he had something to do.
On the one hand, Mo Jingchun was worried that the members of the Mo family would find out where he was, and on the other hand, he was worried about Gong Yeqi's safety. It was really a dilemma.
Fortunately, these few days because of the important imperial examinations, I didn't see Gong Yeqi appearing again, but even so, because of the interval of two or three days, Mo Jingchun was heartbroken, for fear that His Majesty would make a move at this time. what's coming.
However, Gongyeqi doesn't mess around every time he comes here, more often he sleeps with Mo Jingchun in his arms.Mo Jingchun didn't know where the habit came from, but it was so big that he hugged him, and he couldn't break free easily.
Zhang Qianzhao sat opposite Mo Jingchun, his face looked a little sallow and thin.
Mo Jingchun couldn't help laughing and said: "But did you suffer in the courtyard?"
Some colleagues at the table with them couldn't help laughing, "I don't know if he will suffer or not, but looking at him, it seems that his energy has been sucked away by something."
Zhang Qianzhao said weakly: "Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about in front of His Majesty?"
He is really depressed these days.
It was inconvenient to talk and do things in the yard before, but everyone was used to coming in and out.It's just that he didn't know why he couldn't sleep well in the house during that time. After staying up like this day and night, no matter how powerful he is, his body will be exhausted. How could it be so easy?
He looks pretty good now, if he was left out a few days ago, his face would be ugly.
Mo Jingchun could tell that Zhang Qianzhao was really uncomfortable, so he kept looking at him.When the two left the palace together, Zhang Qianzhao left his carriage and climbed into Mo Jingchun's carriage, he was really relieved.He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "You don't know, I don't know why these days, I always have a feeling of a knife hanging around my neck, and somehow feel that this head can't keep it, until I just left the palace. , which is better."
Mo Jingchun looked at him, his fingers were indeed still trembling.
"Tell me, did I offend His Majesty without knowing it?" Zhang Qianzhao thought about it and could only think of this.
After all, besides the emperor, who else in the world can have someone's head in the blink of an eye?
Mo Jingchun: "..." Could it be that Zhang Qianzhao is unique in this kind of thing?
Otherwise, why would there be such a keen reaction?
Even so, Mo Jingchun interrupted Zhang Qianzhao's thoughts without hesitation.
"It's impossible."
Recently, it is possible that Emperor Zhengshi stared at Xi and Fang, why staring at Zhang Qianzhao?
Because of Mo Jingchun's categorical words, Zhang Qianzhao was relieved and limp on the carriage, but after a while, he couldn't help but sat up again, "But this is wrong, if there is no one ...What is it that I have been worrying about lately?"
He hadn't been tossing and turning without being able to fall asleep for many years, especially in a place like the examination institute.
This is not the first time Zhang Qianzhao has asked a question!
Mo Jingchun said in her heart, I am afraid that you have somehow sensed the cheating this time!
It's not good to talk about this kind of thing, Mo Jingchun only led the conversation, and then fell on today's weird palace test.
Speaking of this, Zhang Qianzhao even vomited bitterness. They were locked in the examination institute for half a month, and they worked so hard to answer the examination questions. In the end, Emperor Zhengshi actually discarded all of them. The set of exam questions was given to Enke this time.God knows that Zhang Qianzhao and his group helped each other out of the examination institute, and when they heard the news, they were almost dizzy.
They really have nothing to do with the emperor.
Mo Jingchun was a little guilty, and listened with downcast eyes.
Zhang Qianzhao also said, this is coming to an end, for the selected group of students, the imperial examination will no longer be a fuss, but will be played right? !From morning to night, these unprepared officials were really struggling.
The candidates in front of the hall were trembling, and those who had knowledge were even more disgusted and annoyed that they had stuffed so much money, but they didn't reveal it at all.Who knew that these officials with sinking faces only knew the news a quarter of an hour earlier than them!
Emperor Zhengshi only mentioned this matter before going to court, and then he asked people to remove all the prepared tables with a smile, leaving only the seats for kneeling.
Baiguan: "..."
Nothing to say.
Mo Jingchun heard Zhang Qianzhao's distress all the way, and sent him back with a good voice.Then he asked people to turn the carriage around and went to another courtyard outside Mo's house.
A new patient was admitted to this other hospital, and he was exhausted, and the doctor also said that it was only a matter of a few days.
This is Mrs. Xu Shangde who was rescued by Mohen.
He originally wanted to go to Hanmen Temple to inquire, so he spent those days looking outside, but he didn't expect that one evening, the back door of Hanmen Temple was opened.There was a dilapidated cart wrapped in a straw mat, and he followed it to the back, and found that it was the way to the mass grave.
The ink marks were hidden deep, and after making sure that the two wives had left, they went out and dug the man out again, but the man was still alive.
He thought about it and sent him to Doctor Qin first, and then he went to see Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun didn't blame him for saving people, but just told him not to leak the news.Doctor Qin can be said to be a member of the Mo family, with a tight-lipped tone, there is no problem with him.It's just that when the woman woke up, she revealed her identity by coincidence, which surprised Mohen.
After Mo Jingchun got Mohen's reward, he was moved to another courtyard, and the doctor watched him day and night.
It's just that the lifespan that should go away still cannot be saved, Mo Jingchun just sighed after knowing it, and asked the doctor to change the method, so that she can walk more peacefully in the last period.
But because of this, Mrs. Xu became a little more conscious, and when she woke up during the day, she got some news from Mo Hen, saying that she wanted to see him.But just in time for the imperial examination, Mo Jingchun had no choice but to go to the front of the hall, and was not free until now.
Sitting in the carriage, Mo Jingchun sighed, raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows.
After the carriage stopped at the other courtyard, Mo Jingchun got out of the carriage and went in, and happened to see Mohen pacing back and forth in front.Seeing Mo Jingchun, Mohen said in surprise, "Erlang, you are finally here."
Mo Jingchun stepped in, "How is Mrs. Xu?"
Mo Hen smiled wryly: "It's not very good. I just woke up from a coma in the afternoon. The doctor said, maybe it was just a blink of an eye."
Mrs. Xu was pregnant in prison, and then went to Hanmen Temple and suffered miserably. Now her body is indeed exhausted to the extreme.
When Mo Jingchun came in, he saw the pale woman sitting on the bed and looking out the window.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lin deserved to be from everyone. Even though she was in such a difficult situation and her life was at the verge of death, her appearance and posture were different from ordinary people, her thin waist was straight.
Mo Jingchun raised her eyebrows.
In the conflict between the aristocratic family and the royal family, there is no right or wrong at all. It is just that the two totalitarian powers cannot be reconciled. Just like the imperial court and the princes, states and counties in various places, there has always been a relationship between one and the other.
It's just that from the perspective of the common people, a stagnant family may not be a good thing.Learning is better if it is known by the world.
"Madam Xu."
Mo Jingchun saluted.
Mrs. Xu couldn't get up, so she bowed on the bed and said in a low voice: "I thank Zong Zhengqing."
Mo Jingchun: "I don't know what Madam is looking for, if... it's better to rest." He said softly.
Mrs. Xu knew that she had a few days to go.
She smiled softly and said: "This concubine has nothing to do for a few days. Whether it's early or late, this rest is useless." She slowly sat up on the bed, and she turned out to be in a kneeling posture. Great gift.
"It's just that the concubine is still unwilling, and I ask you to help the concubine—"
Mo Jingchun rushed forward to support her, "Madam Xu..."
"You are Aozhi's classmate, and you know him. He has no pride, no chest, and all his strength is only going to the way of making a living, which is useless at all. It's just...the only thing about him is that he treats him sincerely and kindly. Wife and children, I'm also thinking about the family affairs..." Madam Xu didn't know where the strength came from, but she refused to get up, "I know that he is a pest to the court, but... even if he died, if he confessed at that time Even if I have a concubine, it is absolutely impossible for that concubine to give birth to Huan'er in Hanmen Temple..."
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, "Your entry into Hanmen Temple..."
"Yes, it was arranged by my concubine a long time ago."
Although Hanmen Temple is poor and pitiful, there is only one good thing, because it is very difficult here, and even the monks who guard it are not very generous.She entered Hanmen Temple with a big belly, and she was sure to die, but if she wanted to earn a living for her child, Hanmen Temple was more likely than Guangde Temple.
For those who go to Guangde Temple, if their parents are willing to take care of it, they are more or less willing to make it convenient, but such a big event is absolutely impossible.However, Hanmen Temple was different, they basically had no contact with any wealthy female prisoners, and the money she spent was enough to make them shut up.
As long as she can die in the temple, everything will disappear.
Zuo is just a child who doesn't know people at all, so it's not a big disaster.
Mo Jingchun guessed what she was thinking, and said helplessly: "Even if you are in Guangde Temple, you can figure it out slowly. Although it is bitter, it is no better than Hanmen Temple..." After all, the rules are at ease, and the people of Hanmen Temple may be able to secretly hide it for her. It is impossible to let her out for the next child.
Guangde Temple also heard that someone came out, but the Hanmen Temple recorded that the sent female relatives never returned.
Mrs. Xu said quietly: "Since the Lin family has removed my concubine, it is absolutely impossible to let me out. Right now...they might think I am in Guangde Temple." The money she managed could trap her to death in prison.
Mo Jingchun: "Madam, what do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Xu said weakly: "I know Zong Zhengqing is noble, don't worry, what I want is exactly the same as what Zong Zhengqing wants."
She showed a soft smile.
"All the account books and evidence of dealings that Aozhi hid back then are all here in this concubine's body."
Mo Jingchun finally helped her up, let her sit on the soft pillow behind her, and heard the woman gasp, "When he was imprisoned for a long time, my concubine guessed what His Majesty meant...Your Majesty must have caught him." What happened to him in Suzhou, even though he wasn’t responsible for the imperial envoy’s accident back then, he also played a part in it...you’re so confused!”
Mrs. Xu swallowed, only feeling the smell of blood in her throat.
"He died in prison. I've already asked Jing Guang if he could squeeze it out. My concubine was originally waiting to die in prison. I just didn't expect that what I was waiting for was not a capital crime, but it was Lin who sent me the expulsion first." Mrs. Xu A strange blush appeared on her pale face, "My concubine has done so much for Lin!!"
But it simply became an abandoned pawn.
The important thing is not Lin Yushi, but the Yingchuan Lin family standing behind Lin Yushi.
Mrs. Xu grasped Mo Jingchun's wrist, and almost drew three red marks on the back of his hand, "The shop in Sanhefang on West Street is owned by a concubine's dowry godmother, and the things are hidden under the old tree in the backyard. If Zong Zhengqing has the heart, let them leave the capital as soon as possible..."
A few drops of red blood vomited on the white bed, Mo Jingchun hurriedly supported her, and shouted sharply: "Mohen, Mohen, doctor—"
Mrs. Xu held onto Mo Jingchun's hand tightly, her voice came back like a grieving ghost, "Yingchuan Lin's...hahahahaha...the aristocratic family—"
She fell limp on the bed.
Doctor Qin hurried over, but he was unable to recover.
Mo Jingchun was stained with blood on his hands, and stood outside with a sinking face. When Doctor Qin came out shaking his head, he knew that he had gone.
Mohen brought clean water for him, he just sighed, took it by himself, and let Mohen arrange the funeral.
With Mrs. Xu's scheming, she may not be able to find a way out for herself.It's just that Xu Shangde didn't confess her until his death, on the contrary, it aroused the disposition of this aristocratic woman. The two people who were supposed to have a union of interests could still think about each other when they came to an end. That's why she risked her life not to give Xu The matter of Shang De leaving an heir.
Mrs. Xu never asked Mo Jingchun to find that child until she died, so she must have made arrangements for that child long ago.
It was just an accident to encounter ink marks.
But this accident made her go very happily before she died.
Mo Jingchun washed all the blood on his hands, and after slowly scrubbing the handkerchief, he said to Wei Yi: "You heard it all, go and get it."
Before the curfew.
Wei Yi nodded, and left the other courtyard on his own.
Mo Jingchun's turmoil was because of these two people.
Xu Shangde is indeed a good official. If the incident did not break out, the local people would always think that he is a good official and would be full of praise for him.But in private, he was greedy for a lot of money, and involved a wide range... I heard that there are still some ins and outs that cannot be checked clearly.
Mrs. Xu handed these things to him, but it was not for him to reverse Xu Shangde's case.
Xu Shangde is a blatantly corrupt official and a rotten villain.
She knew it.
So what she wants is for the wicked to perish together.
Since Xu Shangde's crimes cannot be punished, why should the thousands of people hiding behind Xu Shangde be at ease? !
Mo Jingchun let Wei Yi go, not Mohen, because he wanted to pass this matter on to the emperor.
Wei Yi is naturally spared.
This item will not fall into Mo Jingchun's hands, but will be directly handed over to Emperor Zhengshi.
【You are a bit silly】
Mo Jingchun: "Didn't you say that you are just a mechanical thing?"
This spirit picks its time.
Although Mo Jingchun didn't know what "machine" meant, he could probably guess it.Such a humanized dialogue should not occur.
【Each system is a growth model】
Mo Jingchun: "..."
Fine.
He stood with his hands in the warm February wind.
"Where are you stupid?"
【This evidence passed through your hands and then passed on to His Majesty, which is far more meaningful than Wei Yi passing it to His Majesty】
A spirit's judgment is purely rational.
Mo Jingchun: "So what?"
These questions, when Mrs. Xu was talking, Mo Jingchun asked
When Gong Yeqi caught him, he really didn't expect to be able to do this, he was out of breath from laughing immediately, and went back to bed with the big baby Mo Jingchun in his arms.
This is Mo Jingchun's territory, but it's a pity that because it is Mo Jingchun's territory, he is the one with his hands tied.
Gong Yeqi forcibly took the drenched cloth from Mo Jingchun's mouth, and said helplessly, "Don't you panic?"
Mo Jingchun said coldly: "It's better than talking."
Gong Yeqi pressed stickily beside Mo Jingchun like a giant beast, and asked with a smile, "This is all from the heart of the master, don't you think it's interesting?"
"It's His Majesty who finds it interesting."
Mo Jingchun cast a sideways glance at him, leaving only Chuchen forced to see through.
He couldn't beat the emperor again, otherwise he would beat the emperor violently.
Gong Yeqi really had bad intentions, and he was groping around with his fingers, but he said insistently, "If Master Hong Xing hadn't cheated, the widow wouldn't have come here specially. Master, do you know you The Mo residence is heavily guarded, it is too difficult to prevent the servants from coming in!"
Mo Jingchun had to answer him with "I know" at first, and then he was so helpless by Gong Yeqi's "Hongxing is out of the wall". The security is strict, shouldn't Your Majesty keep his heart and not leave the palace casually?!"
As for cheating, he didn't even bother to talk about it, and regardless of the fact that the entangled relationship between him and His Majesty had not yet been finalized, how could it be considered cheating when he brought Xi and Fang back?
Gongye raised his eyebrows, "Okay, Master didn't explain the fact of cheating at all. Could it be that he really planned to cheat?"
Mo Jingchun subconsciously said: "If I want to get out of the wall, it's useless if you install ten people outside."
Oops, how did this heart come out?
Gongye Qi was thoughtful, "How do you know I sent ten people?"
Mo Jingchun was shocked, "Did you really send ten people?"
The two looked at each other.
Gong Yeqi hurriedly gnawed it down before Mo Jingchun could speak, and brought Mo Jingchun into the sea of desire, making him unable to think of any words to persuade him!
He knows.
As long as he looks pitiful and wronged, Mo Jingchun doesn't know why he can't refuse him all the time, and once he has a so-called legitimate reason, he can happily turn his wife over and over again!
At the end of the ugly hour, there seemed to be a loud bang in the house.
Mohen raised his head vaguely, was pressed down by Wei Yi and said that I would go and have a look, and then fell asleep again.
But in fact, Wei Yi stood outside the house with a blank face, and didn't plan to go in at all.
Hello, what are you two doing?
The next day, Emperor Zhengshi happily went to court with a bruise on his forehead. The faint blue color was hidden under the swaying bead curtain, and he couldn't see anything when he wore the crown. On the contrary, Liu Hao was frightened to death. Shidi said impatiently that he fell so hard that he dared not speak.
...Okay, if you said you fell, then so be it.
Mo Jingchun stood below with a look of calmness that saw through the world. Before the court meeting began, Zhang Qianzhao still grabbed his sleeve and said, "Why did you change the spices? I thought I had entered a Buddhist temple with this sandalwood fragrance."
Mo Jingchun said calmly, "Isn't that good? Cut off all worldly thoughts, and you've completely enlightened."
Zhang Qianzhao was taken aback, "You don't want to become a monk, do you?"
Although Zongzheng Temple manages these Buddhist and Taoist beliefs, don't put yourself in it.
Mo Jingchun said quietly: "That would be a good thing."
Abstinence!
Abstinence!
Emperor Zhengshi coughed, knowing that last night he was a little excited and Meng Lang played some tricks that he hadn't used before, but the master at that time was really delicious...
"His Majesty!"
Emperor Zhengshi said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
He didn't hear clearly what the officials below were saying, but Mo Jingchun could hear clearly.
This is again to persuade His Majesty to marry the Empress.
Emperor Zhengshi has always listened to these things, he will not be as irritable as before, but he will not let them talk too much. After a while, if there are too many people, he will beat a few. move.
Mo Jingchun lowered his head, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Zhenming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials holding the court board, hesitating, as if he wanted to speak out, but hesitated again and again.
In the cabinet, Huang Zhenghe and Wang Zhenming were the two most disliked by Emperor Zhengshi.
Huang Zhenghe is a person who has no profit and can't afford it early, but Wang Zhenming loves to flirt with the aristocratic family. He was the one who sent Xu Shangde to Suzhou and Hangzhou with Xu Boheng at the beginning.However, although Xu Boheng had his own views on court affairs, he was the only one who went to the extreme with Zhongjun. Otherwise, why did Emperor Zhengshi still keep him now?
This Wang Zhenming is completely different.
Mo Jingchun once thought that Wang Zhenming belonged to the eldest prince, but back then His Majesty wrote "four".Now the fourth prince is gone, but Wang Zhenming is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, how can Mo Jingchun not know that Emperor Zhengshi wants to put a long line to catch big fish?
Looking at the recent movement of the government and the public, Wang Zhenming's bait is indeed a bigger fish.
What Xu Shangde said before his death, Lin Yushi expelled his own daughter from the genealogy, the aristocratic family and the courtiers joined forces to persecute the clan, and the clan was ready to move... Coupled with the fact that Mo Jingchun knew about the imperial examination in advance, he had an idea in his heart .
After returning home, Mo Jingchun called Mohen over.
Mohen leaned forward: "Lang Jun asked the younger one to investigate before, and the person has been found, but it is not in Guangde Temple, but in Hanmen Temple."
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, this is troublesome.
Mo Jingchun asked Mohen to investigate the whereabouts of Lin Yushi's daughter. Apart from being beheaded and exiled and serving as official prostitutes, the downtrodden female family members will be locked up in the temple. The official temple is not a serious Buddhist temple, but a place like a cold palace confinement, suffering terribly.
Guangde Temple is one of them, and it is where all the female relatives will go.
But the Hanmen Temple is the only unlucky place here. If the female relatives of a normal family enter, they will be rubbed to death within ten days and a half months, let alone Xu Shangde, it will take several months.
But Mohen said: "Erlang, that girl seems to be still alive."
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Mo Hen said with a smile: "When I went to investigate, I found that in the winter, a steady woman was called in. It is strange to say that in this Hanmen Temple for more than half a year, only Mrs. Xu is pregnant."
If there were no such dirty things in that temple, then Mrs. Xu might still be alive.
Of course, if it was really her, the child would be born, and the person might be gone.But Mohen also secretly went to the mass grave to see, but there was no such person.
Mo Jingchun pointed at Mohen and smiled, "You dare to touch the mass grave in the middle of the night, if you knew it, Da Lang would take you away."
Mo Hen cried out, "As for the young man's skill, Da Lang still doesn't like it."
Mo Jingchun shook his head and smiled, but it was just for fun, after all, Mohen has been by his side for several years, and it is very useful.On the contrary, he is a bit more powerful than the previous steward, and his work is very reliable. He and Wei Yi have gradually become Mo Jingchun's right-hand men.
What is Wei Yi's background, Mo Hen also has a vague guess, but although he doesn't know why there is a family background in the palace, but this is Erlang's business, he doesn't say or do anything, Mo Hen just treats it as nothing. have no idea.
"Since it is still possible for people to live, we have to try a thing or two. If we can save people, there may be something else to say."
Mohen did it by himself.
After a while, Mo Jingchun heard that the scientific examination was about to start.
The exam questions had already been prepared, but just before the examiner was about to go out, the palace rushed over and sent another copy, saying that this one was more useful, and His Majesty personally ordered it.
This was an unprecedented thing. The examiner also checked the imperial decree with his own eyes, and then saw Liu Hao's presence before accepting it.When they went in with the test questions and beat the drum to announce, the faces of some candidates present turned slightly pale.
It's just that among the many students and inspectors, they don't seem to be outstanding.
The matter of this exam, after a few days, is always a headache.
Especially when the pressure is on one's own future, whether it is the carp jumping the dragon's gate or the name falling into the sun mountain, this trembling is completely different.And this year Enke heard that it was different from usual, His Majesty personally took the school examination.
What is an in-person exam?
Even the final correction is up to me!
Was it a miracle?
Then there is more!
After the results came out in mid-February, dozens of people who were famous in front of the palace were arrested one by one and questioned in front of the palace.This time, Emperor Zhengshi didn't make any papers, but sat in front of the hall and wrote the questions, and played them in court.
Emperor Zhengshi sat on a high platform, a little far away from the disciples, but he was so majestic that people dare not look directly at him.
In the entire hall, only the solemn words of Emperor Zhengshi could be heard, "Today there are captives who are not in captivity in the north, and Baiyue in the south, so my husband can rest in peace, and the people on the side have not been enslaved, so how can I grow up? Liuhe?" (*1)
Mo Jingchun stood on both sides, and after hearing Emperor Zhengshi's question, he knew that His Majesty's first question was the border question that he cared most about.It is indispensable for the emperor to fight against the inside and secure the outside. This is exactly the chronic disease of my dynasty that has lasted for many years.
This is the first question, and none of the high-ranking students below dare to be that early bird, especially in this special form, they don't know what is the safest way to play it.
After a while, someone came out.
"... It will be a laborious task for the teacher if it is collected, and it will be useless if it is obtained. Therefore, the ancients said, 'If there is a land, it cannot be cultivated and eaten; The art of Anbian." (*2)
What he said won the nods of many veterans secretly.
It's a pity that Mo Jingchun knew that this was not what Emperor Shi intended, what His Majesty wanted was to drive out the captives, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be beaten passively like this.
But with the first person throwing a brick to attract jade, the next thing will be much smoother.
There were also other students citing the scriptures and refuting the previous one's words. They spoke clearly and logically, wishing they could rush to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately.It's a pity that Mo Jingchun shook his head after hearing this, after all, he had two generals in his family, and he knew that what he just said was just a castle in the sky, and it was not accurate.
Instead, a thin gentleman who came out at the end said a few words, mentioned various practical issues such as horse breeds and cavalry, and pointed to various important matters in the border horse market and the fact that foreign races rely on horses all the year round, and calmly analyzed the two places. The contradiction is eye-catching.
Mo Jingchun remembered his name, Yang Hui.
After Yang Hui withdrew, no one came out again. Emperor Zhengshi nodded at the few officials who were recording beside him, and then asked another question.
The second question was about salt.
Because the rebellion broke out under the harsh government and heavy taxes in the previous dynasty, which was not clear about salt, and last year because of the private salt incident, it caused waves again, no matter who knows what your Majesty asked this question.
But this question is not easy to answer.
This question is about salt, but it is actually a tax, a treasury, and selfishness.In addition, all the ins and outs of the officialdom, and the attitudes of various aristocratic families seeking to gain a little bit of stink, are actually all in one question.
Some only heard the superficial meaning, and they were eloquent about what happened before.
Some of them keenly heard His Majesty's hidden thoughts, and their backs went numb with shock, Nuonuo dared not speak.
On the contrary, a pale and thin student stepped out, saluted and said: "...they are fundamental, whether it is official monopoly or salt sales, one or two of them are profitable, and all of them make people fight over their heads, but the most important thing is , In the end, the knife wielder has a bad heart and has too much power.
"He is responsible, he is the one who sells, and he is the one who punishes. If the power is concentrated in one person, once it falls, isn't it a disaster? Let one person be sober, and don't let him be tempted first. The more times, the gods in the sky are easy to fall. Become a rich ghost..."
Mo Jingchun took a look, but this person was Xi Hefang.
His speech is not more polite than the previous one, but it is better than that in being simple and easy to understand.
Mo Jingchun raised his eyebrows, this person knows the harm of temptation.
It's just that after he finished speaking in this simple way, some people from all backgrounds refuted him coldly, saying that officials in charge must be talented and virtuous. In exchange, if you only do things for the Holy One, how can there be so many crooked minds?
Of course, this is all a small fight, and it is still to answer the question when it comes to the topic.
After skipping two more questions, Mo Jingchun roughly figured out the situation of the students who could pass the palace examination this time.
The first half here are from everyone's background, and the other half are from poor children.
After realizing the importance of the imperial examination, whether they are powerful or aristocratic, they want to go to school, but it is much easier than those students who have studied hard for 20 years.
It’s just that the Tianxia Academy has been fully opened in these years, and it has been a steady stream of students. Although they may not be able to pass the imperial examination, the road of enlightenment has been passed on continuously.
Those students who came from a family background were far less keen on the officialdom than those from the Qing Dynasty. Once they asked about these topics, they would speak eloquently, and even secretly flatter the emperor.But when it comes to people's livelihood, especially the more detailed and acute issues, ordinary students can speak clearly.
These are all questions that are directly related to them. Some of them seem to be only a few words, but they are difficult things they have encountered before. Maybe they have thought about them before, but now they have such related questions in front of the palace. Blurtted out, put it in a simple way.
Zhengshi Emperor's examination questions were one after another, some were written by the previous examiners, some were thought of by himself, and some were sitting in the hall, he suddenly remembered.
For example, there was one question, which he asked Xue Qing, who was sitting at the bottom, and thought of it for a while, so he asked about it.
The special subjects of the law test are not so simple. No matter how much you don't understand the questions on weekdays, you can just fool around with one or two sentences, but with this strict legal question, you dare not even say it casually.
When the hall was silent, Emperor Zhengshi was not angry, and looked around leisurely.
In this hall, he is probably the most comfortable.
After a long time, a skinny student who had never spoken before stood up and said a few dry words.The drooping appearance didn't attract everyone's attention at all, but it only attracted Xue Qing's attention.His face was so serious that when he looked at it, the student was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, but he frowned slightly, not knowing what he thought of.
Seeing Xue Qing like that, Emperor Zhengshi knew that he was not unhappy, but happy to see Liexin.It's just that he has such a stinking face, and others who don't know him look at him from a distance, thinking that Tiansheng owes him a lot of money, and dare not approach him at all.
Emperor Zhengshi raised his hand, and Liu Hao wrote down the person's name beside him.
The countermeasures in front of the palace lasted from dawn to dusk, and there were food offerings in the middle. Anyway, it took enough time for them to come out with their spirits floating.
In fact, the meal at noon was not bad, and the emperor was very caring, but they were not used to being in front of the palace, and they were like mice meeting raccoon slaves.I heard before that it was just making a fuss in the court, so everyone can still pretend to be courageous and do things, just don't look up at others.But this time it was different. What the emperor wanted was their dictation on the spot. This not only tested their writing skills, but also tested their quick wit and courage.
No matter how the written thing is the same as the spoken thing, it is not the same.
It was difficult for them to speak during the whole day, but it was also difficult for the officials who kept records. After all, when one person spoke, two people had to record and transcribe their dictation at the same time. , It's also embarrassing to meet those who can't speak out dryly, the pen and ink are all stained, and the words in the mouth have not yet been spoken!
But with the magical pen of Emperor Zhengshi, even though civil and military officials were tormented enough, they still found it novel.
The emperor and some ministers who were able to see the content of the article before were not as truthful as everyone heard.And among them, those who appear to be generous, thoughtful, thoughtful, and have a plan in their hearts, aren't they just remembered?
Before each student would go forward to answer questions, he must first declare his family background, state and county where he was born, and his surname, and only after he finished speaking could he answer.
There are only five or six that Mo Jingchun can remember, and of course there are Xi and Fang.
Xi and Fang didn't talk much, but every time they spoke, they were very honest. Although they were still a little immature, they had a good brain.As long as His Majesty doesn't deliberately block him, Xi and Fang will be in the front row this time.
Emperor Zhengshi naturally wouldn't get stuck with him.
If he killed the person that night, he would kill him if he killed him.It doesn't matter if Xihe Fang dies in Fanggelou.But since people have come to this point, appear in front of them, and indeed have real talents and learning, it doesn't hurt to stay.
and……
Emperor Zhengshi glanced down, and saw Mo Jingchun, who was looking at the students who walked out seriously, this person seemed to be very important to the master.
He always ignored what Mo Jingchun said.
In his opinion, even if there are ten capable Xu Boheng who fall down now, they are all inferior to Mo Jingchun alone.
Can Xi Hefang compare to Xu Boheng now?
Then... of course it won't work.
Mo Jingchun blinked and suppressed a yawn.
In fact, not only him, but also most of the other ministers.After all, no matter how strong the body is, it will show a bit of fatigue in the continuous day-to-day playing.On the contrary, Emperor Zhengshi, who presided over today, was in high spirits and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He laughed loudly as he looked at the sluggishness of the courtiers, and asked people to prepare meals, just to keep you in the palace for dinner, this happened occasionally, and the courtiers didn't think it was weird.
It was Mo Jingchun who touched his nose subconsciously, feeling a little subtle.
It's better for him not to approach His Majesty later, after all, the number of times today is not enough.
What's annoying about this punishment is that Mo Jingchun hasn't found the secret to the disappearance of this punishment until now, and on the side of Emperor Zhengshi, he doesn't know if the matter between Xi and Fang really stimulated him. He wanted to give Mo Jingchun some time to catch his breath, but right now he would show up in Mo's house whenever he had something to do.
On the one hand, Mo Jingchun was worried that the members of the Mo family would find out where he was, and on the other hand, he was worried about Gong Yeqi's safety. It was really a dilemma.
Fortunately, these few days because of the important imperial examinations, I didn't see Gong Yeqi appearing again, but even so, because of the interval of two or three days, Mo Jingchun was heartbroken, for fear that His Majesty would make a move at this time. what's coming.
However, Gongyeqi doesn't mess around every time he comes here, more often he sleeps with Mo Jingchun in his arms.Mo Jingchun didn't know where the habit came from, but it was so big that he hugged him, and he couldn't break free easily.
Zhang Qianzhao sat opposite Mo Jingchun, his face looked a little sallow and thin.
Mo Jingchun couldn't help laughing and said: "But did you suffer in the courtyard?"
Some colleagues at the table with them couldn't help laughing, "I don't know if he will suffer or not, but looking at him, it seems that his energy has been sucked away by something."
Zhang Qianzhao said weakly: "Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about in front of His Majesty?"
He is really depressed these days.
It was inconvenient to talk and do things in the yard before, but everyone was used to coming in and out.It's just that he didn't know why he couldn't sleep well in the house during that time. After staying up like this day and night, no matter how powerful he is, his body will be exhausted. How could it be so easy?
He looks pretty good now, if he was left out a few days ago, his face would be ugly.
Mo Jingchun could tell that Zhang Qianzhao was really uncomfortable, so he kept looking at him.When the two left the palace together, Zhang Qianzhao left his carriage and climbed into Mo Jingchun's carriage, he was really relieved.He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "You don't know, I don't know why these days, I always have a feeling of a knife hanging around my neck, and somehow feel that this head can't keep it, until I just left the palace. , which is better."
Mo Jingchun looked at him, his fingers were indeed still trembling.
"Tell me, did I offend His Majesty without knowing it?" Zhang Qianzhao thought about it and could only think of this.
After all, besides the emperor, who else in the world can have someone's head in the blink of an eye?
Mo Jingchun: "..." Could it be that Zhang Qianzhao is unique in this kind of thing?
Otherwise, why would there be such a keen reaction?
Even so, Mo Jingchun interrupted Zhang Qianzhao's thoughts without hesitation.
"It's impossible."
Recently, it is possible that Emperor Zhengshi stared at Xi and Fang, why staring at Zhang Qianzhao?
Because of Mo Jingchun's categorical words, Zhang Qianzhao was relieved and limp on the carriage, but after a while, he couldn't help but sat up again, "But this is wrong, if there is no one ...What is it that I have been worrying about lately?"
He hadn't been tossing and turning without being able to fall asleep for many years, especially in a place like the examination institute.
This is not the first time Zhang Qianzhao has asked a question!
Mo Jingchun said in her heart, I am afraid that you have somehow sensed the cheating this time!
It's not good to talk about this kind of thing, Mo Jingchun only led the conversation, and then fell on today's weird palace test.
Speaking of this, Zhang Qianzhao even vomited bitterness. They were locked in the examination institute for half a month, and they worked so hard to answer the examination questions. In the end, Emperor Zhengshi actually discarded all of them. The set of exam questions was given to Enke this time.God knows that Zhang Qianzhao and his group helped each other out of the examination institute, and when they heard the news, they were almost dizzy.
They really have nothing to do with the emperor.
Mo Jingchun was a little guilty, and listened with downcast eyes.
Zhang Qianzhao also said, this is coming to an end, for the selected group of students, the imperial examination will no longer be a fuss, but will be played right? !From morning to night, these unprepared officials were really struggling.
The candidates in front of the hall were trembling, and those who had knowledge were even more disgusted and annoyed that they had stuffed so much money, but they didn't reveal it at all.Who knew that these officials with sinking faces only knew the news a quarter of an hour earlier than them!
Emperor Zhengshi only mentioned this matter before going to court, and then he asked people to remove all the prepared tables with a smile, leaving only the seats for kneeling.
Baiguan: "..."
Nothing to say.
Mo Jingchun heard Zhang Qianzhao's distress all the way, and sent him back with a good voice.Then he asked people to turn the carriage around and went to another courtyard outside Mo's house.
A new patient was admitted to this other hospital, and he was exhausted, and the doctor also said that it was only a matter of a few days.
This is Mrs. Xu Shangde who was rescued by Mohen.
He originally wanted to go to Hanmen Temple to inquire, so he spent those days looking outside, but he didn't expect that one evening, the back door of Hanmen Temple was opened.There was a dilapidated cart wrapped in a straw mat, and he followed it to the back, and found that it was the way to the mass grave.
The ink marks were hidden deep, and after making sure that the two wives had left, they went out and dug the man out again, but the man was still alive.
He thought about it and sent him to Doctor Qin first, and then he went to see Mo Jingchun.
Mo Jingchun didn't blame him for saving people, but just told him not to leak the news.Doctor Qin can be said to be a member of the Mo family, with a tight-lipped tone, there is no problem with him.It's just that when the woman woke up, she revealed her identity by coincidence, which surprised Mohen.
After Mo Jingchun got Mohen's reward, he was moved to another courtyard, and the doctor watched him day and night.
It's just that the lifespan that should go away still cannot be saved, Mo Jingchun just sighed after knowing it, and asked the doctor to change the method, so that she can walk more peacefully in the last period.
But because of this, Mrs. Xu became a little more conscious, and when she woke up during the day, she got some news from Mo Hen, saying that she wanted to see him.But just in time for the imperial examination, Mo Jingchun had no choice but to go to the front of the hall, and was not free until now.
Sitting in the carriage, Mo Jingchun sighed, raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows.
After the carriage stopped at the other courtyard, Mo Jingchun got out of the carriage and went in, and happened to see Mohen pacing back and forth in front.Seeing Mo Jingchun, Mohen said in surprise, "Erlang, you are finally here."
Mo Jingchun stepped in, "How is Mrs. Xu?"
Mo Hen smiled wryly: "It's not very good. I just woke up from a coma in the afternoon. The doctor said, maybe it was just a blink of an eye."
Mrs. Xu was pregnant in prison, and then went to Hanmen Temple and suffered miserably. Now her body is indeed exhausted to the extreme.
When Mo Jingchun came in, he saw the pale woman sitting on the bed and looking out the window.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lin deserved to be from everyone. Even though she was in such a difficult situation and her life was at the verge of death, her appearance and posture were different from ordinary people, her thin waist was straight.
Mo Jingchun raised her eyebrows.
In the conflict between the aristocratic family and the royal family, there is no right or wrong at all. It is just that the two totalitarian powers cannot be reconciled. Just like the imperial court and the princes, states and counties in various places, there has always been a relationship between one and the other.
It's just that from the perspective of the common people, a stagnant family may not be a good thing.Learning is better if it is known by the world.
"Madam Xu."
Mo Jingchun saluted.
Mrs. Xu couldn't get up, so she bowed on the bed and said in a low voice: "I thank Zong Zhengqing."
Mo Jingchun: "I don't know what Madam is looking for, if... it's better to rest." He said softly.
Mrs. Xu knew that she had a few days to go.
She smiled softly and said: "This concubine has nothing to do for a few days. Whether it's early or late, this rest is useless." She slowly sat up on the bed, and she turned out to be in a kneeling posture. Great gift.
"It's just that the concubine is still unwilling, and I ask you to help the concubine—"
Mo Jingchun rushed forward to support her, "Madam Xu..."
"You are Aozhi's classmate, and you know him. He has no pride, no chest, and all his strength is only going to the way of making a living, which is useless at all. It's just...the only thing about him is that he treats him sincerely and kindly. Wife and children, I'm also thinking about the family affairs..." Madam Xu didn't know where the strength came from, but she refused to get up, "I know that he is a pest to the court, but... even if he died, if he confessed at that time Even if I have a concubine, it is absolutely impossible for that concubine to give birth to Huan'er in Hanmen Temple..."
Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, "Your entry into Hanmen Temple..."
"Yes, it was arranged by my concubine a long time ago."
Although Hanmen Temple is poor and pitiful, there is only one good thing, because it is very difficult here, and even the monks who guard it are not very generous.She entered Hanmen Temple with a big belly, and she was sure to die, but if she wanted to earn a living for her child, Hanmen Temple was more likely than Guangde Temple.
For those who go to Guangde Temple, if their parents are willing to take care of it, they are more or less willing to make it convenient, but such a big event is absolutely impossible.However, Hanmen Temple was different, they basically had no contact with any wealthy female prisoners, and the money she spent was enough to make them shut up.
As long as she can die in the temple, everything will disappear.
Zuo is just a child who doesn't know people at all, so it's not a big disaster.
Mo Jingchun guessed what she was thinking, and said helplessly: "Even if you are in Guangde Temple, you can figure it out slowly. Although it is bitter, it is no better than Hanmen Temple..." After all, the rules are at ease, and the people of Hanmen Temple may be able to secretly hide it for her. It is impossible to let her out for the next child.
Guangde Temple also heard that someone came out, but the Hanmen Temple recorded that the sent female relatives never returned.
Mrs. Xu said quietly: "Since the Lin family has removed my concubine, it is absolutely impossible to let me out. Right now...they might think I am in Guangde Temple." The money she managed could trap her to death in prison.
Mo Jingchun: "Madam, what do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Xu said weakly: "I know Zong Zhengqing is noble, don't worry, what I want is exactly the same as what Zong Zhengqing wants."
She showed a soft smile.
"All the account books and evidence of dealings that Aozhi hid back then are all here in this concubine's body."
Mo Jingchun finally helped her up, let her sit on the soft pillow behind her, and heard the woman gasp, "When he was imprisoned for a long time, my concubine guessed what His Majesty meant...Your Majesty must have caught him." What happened to him in Suzhou, even though he wasn’t responsible for the imperial envoy’s accident back then, he also played a part in it...you’re so confused!”
Mrs. Xu swallowed, only feeling the smell of blood in her throat.
"He died in prison. I've already asked Jing Guang if he could squeeze it out. My concubine was originally waiting to die in prison. I just didn't expect that what I was waiting for was not a capital crime, but it was Lin who sent me the expulsion first." Mrs. Xu A strange blush appeared on her pale face, "My concubine has done so much for Lin!!"
But it simply became an abandoned pawn.
The important thing is not Lin Yushi, but the Yingchuan Lin family standing behind Lin Yushi.
Mrs. Xu grasped Mo Jingchun's wrist, and almost drew three red marks on the back of his hand, "The shop in Sanhefang on West Street is owned by a concubine's dowry godmother, and the things are hidden under the old tree in the backyard. If Zong Zhengqing has the heart, let them leave the capital as soon as possible..."
A few drops of red blood vomited on the white bed, Mo Jingchun hurriedly supported her, and shouted sharply: "Mohen, Mohen, doctor—"
Mrs. Xu held onto Mo Jingchun's hand tightly, her voice came back like a grieving ghost, "Yingchuan Lin's...hahahahaha...the aristocratic family—"
She fell limp on the bed.
Doctor Qin hurried over, but he was unable to recover.
Mo Jingchun was stained with blood on his hands, and stood outside with a sinking face. When Doctor Qin came out shaking his head, he knew that he had gone.
Mohen brought clean water for him, he just sighed, took it by himself, and let Mohen arrange the funeral.
With Mrs. Xu's scheming, she may not be able to find a way out for herself.It's just that Xu Shangde didn't confess her until his death, on the contrary, it aroused the disposition of this aristocratic woman. The two people who were supposed to have a union of interests could still think about each other when they came to an end. That's why she risked her life not to give Xu The matter of Shang De leaving an heir.
Mrs. Xu never asked Mo Jingchun to find that child until she died, so she must have made arrangements for that child long ago.
It was just an accident to encounter ink marks.
But this accident made her go very happily before she died.
Mo Jingchun washed all the blood on his hands, and after slowly scrubbing the handkerchief, he said to Wei Yi: "You heard it all, go and get it."
Before the curfew.
Wei Yi nodded, and left the other courtyard on his own.
Mo Jingchun's turmoil was because of these two people.
Xu Shangde is indeed a good official. If the incident did not break out, the local people would always think that he is a good official and would be full of praise for him.But in private, he was greedy for a lot of money, and involved a wide range... I heard that there are still some ins and outs that cannot be checked clearly.
Mrs. Xu handed these things to him, but it was not for him to reverse Xu Shangde's case.
Xu Shangde is a blatantly corrupt official and a rotten villain.
She knew it.
So what she wants is for the wicked to perish together.
Since Xu Shangde's crimes cannot be punished, why should the thousands of people hiding behind Xu Shangde be at ease? !
Mo Jingchun let Wei Yi go, not Mohen, because he wanted to pass this matter on to the emperor.
Wei Yi is naturally spared.
This item will not fall into Mo Jingchun's hands, but will be directly handed over to Emperor Zhengshi.
【You are a bit silly】
Mo Jingchun: "Didn't you say that you are just a mechanical thing?"
This spirit picks its time.
Although Mo Jingchun didn't know what "machine" meant, he could probably guess it.Such a humanized dialogue should not occur.
【Each system is a growth model】
Mo Jingchun: "..."
Fine.
He stood with his hands in the warm February wind.
"Where are you stupid?"
【This evidence passed through your hands and then passed on to His Majesty, which is far more meaningful than Wei Yi passing it to His Majesty】
A spirit's judgment is purely rational.
Mo Jingchun: "So what?"
These questions, when Mrs. Xu was talking, Mo Jingchun asked
