Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"My majesty, the imperial mausoleum suddenly collapsed last night, and all the entrances and exits were sealed!"

The palace guards guarding the imperial mausoleum spread the news to the palace as quickly as possible.

"The imperial mausoleum collapsed?"

Yu Wenchang's face was ugly, and the imperial mausoleum houses all the previous emperors of this dynasty, the ancestors of his Yuwen family.

This place has collapsed, the meaning is not good!

Officials from Jingheng and Qintianjian were quickly summoned into the palace.

"What the hell is going on?"

Yu Wenchang looked at them, rather than asking them why the imperial tomb collapsed, he wanted them to find an excuse.

Otherwise, the common people might think that it was God who punished him.

He thought that he, the emperor, did not do well enough, so God punished him for the collapse of the Yuwen family's mausoleum.

But obviously, neither the officials of Qin Tianjian nor Jing Heng understood Yu Wenchang's meaning, or they understood, but at the moment they deliberately pretended not to understand.

"I would like to report to the emperor, the ministers waited to watch the stars at night. The dangerous moon swallow was shining brightly, and there were signs of colliding with the Suzaku Qisu. The collapse of the imperial mausoleum may be related to this."

Weiyueyan is the northern star, implying that it is in a high position but full of danger, and the astrology is fierce.

Although the people in the palace have no fate to say, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this astrology symbolizes Yu Wenhong.

Because he is a beast in the north and a prince, so he is naturally the big evil star.

In the past, the officials of Jingheng and Qintianjian used this reason to take down Yu Wenhong's position as prince.

Right now, they obviously still want to use this reason to blame Yu Wenhong for the collapse of the imperial tomb.

Yu Wenchang looked at the officials of Qin Tianjian, did not speak, just stared at them coldly.

The official, who was still eloquent at first, gradually lowered his voice.

The degree to which Yu Wenhong is favored now can be seen by anyone who is not blind. At this time, Yu Wenhong is said to be a big evil star in front of Yu Wenchang, so it is no wonder he is happy.

Jing Heng originally wanted to take this opportunity to make Yu Wenchang feel bad for Yu Wenhong, but now it seems that the effect did not meet their expectations...

Although it is a pity, it is not harmful.

"Your Majesty, the imperial mausoleum has collapsed, and the people are afraid of panic. The poor monk suggested that the emperor should immediately go to the imperial mausoleum to pray for blessings, so as to appease the hearts of the people!"

Jing Heng didn't hold on to Yu Wenhong, seeing that Yu Wenchang didn't like to hear these words, he turned to talk about the solution he wanted to hear.

Sure enough, as soon as Jing Heng said this, Yu Wenchang's gloomy face softened slightly.

"The national teacher's words are reasonable, but I'm not feeling well, and it's not suitable for me to travel far, so I'll let..."

Yu Wenchang paused slightly when he said this: "The crown prince and the second prince went to pray for me to appease the wrath of heaven."

Hearing that Yu Wenchang really let Yu Wenhong go forward together, Jing Heng lowered his eyes to cover up the emotion in his eyes.

If it's just a sacrificial offering, it would be reasonable to let Yu Wenhong replace it.

But praying for the emperor, this kind of thing has always been something that only the emperor's successor can do.

Yu Wenchang asked Yu Wenhong and Yu Wenchang to pray together this time, which also shows that Yu Wenchang did not hide his thoughts on Yu Wenhong.

The matter was quickly decided, and Yu Wenchang announced the news at the Great Court Meeting the next day.

Not only Yu Wenjing and Yu Wenhong went together, but also civil and military officials.

As for the matter of Wei Yueyan, he didn't mention a word.

"The crown prince and the second prince went to pray for the emperor together..."

Because of this news, the court suddenly became treacherous again, and everyone had a better understanding of Yu Wenhong's position in Yu Wenchang's heart.

Although Yu Wenjing had already guessed that this would be the result, even if Yu Wenchang hadn't mentioned that Yu Wenhong should accompany him, he would have taken the initiative to speak up.

But when Yu Wenjing heard that Yu Wenchang didn't care about his prince's face and announced this in front of the officials, Yu Wenjing still couldn't help being hit hard, and at the same time, his anger towards Yu Wenchang was even worse .

What is he inferior to Yu Wenhong? Why does Yu Wenchang favor him so much? !

Obviously, for so many years, he is the one who has done his filial piety in front of Yu Wenchang, isn't he?

His crown prince was also established by Yu Wenchang himself!

Why is he doing this to himself!

Yu Wenjing exhausted all his strength, so he didn't let himself lose his composure in court.

He secretly made up his mind that when the time comes, he must ask Yu Wenchang the reason in person.

Then send him on his way!

"The imperial mausoleum collapsed, and the crown prince and prince plus all the officials prayed for blessings and begged for forgiveness from heaven?"

Chu Zhuang attended the court meeting in a daze, and he was still a little uncomfortable with the feudal superstition of the Yue Dynasty.

He didn't believe that God was angry or anything.

so funny……

"You must pray, otherwise you will not be able to appease the hearts of the people."

Yu Wenhong and Chu Zhuang came out of the hall together, seeing that Chu Zhuang was puzzled, he explained to him.

"Really?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhong wanted to ask, but because he was in the palace, he held back.

After going to school together, Yu Wenhong asked, "What are you thinking?"

"The imperial mausoleum is near Taiming Mountain in Dongfeng Mansion. It's only October, and there is no rain and no earthquake. How could the imperial mausoleum collapse?"

Chu Zhuang didn't believe in the idea of ​​God being angry, he believed in science even more.

He had been in the Ministry of Rites before, and both the Imperial Tomb and Qin Tianjian were under the management of the Ministry of Rites, so he also knew some knowledge about the Imperial Tomb.

"After all, it can't be artificial... There are heavy guards around the imperial mausoleum, and ordinary people can't get close easily. Who can..."

When Yu Wenhong said this, his voice gradually decreased.

"What if it's done by insiders? I'm afraid it's not difficult to bring down the imperial mausoleum?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows.

The imperial mausoleum was built underneath, and it would not be difficult for the mausoleum to collapse as long as the craftsmen knocked down a few load-bearing walls.

"You suspect it's the prince..."

Yu Wenhong frowned, looked at Chu Zhuang and asked.

The Imperial Mausoleum is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is precisely the scope of Yu Wenjing's control.

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, no wonder he suspected Yu Wenjing.

At this time of year, there is no earthquake, no rain, no extreme weather, and the construction of the imperial mausoleum is not a tofu project.

Sudden collapse, ruled out the possibility of natural disasters, then only human beings are left.

On this point, Chuzhuang does not have the limitations of the people of this era, and he will not be easily deceived by some mysterious things.

Yu Wenchang, Yu Wenhong, as well as the ministers of the court and the common people all believed that God sent down the crime, so the first reaction was to pray for blessings.

But Chu Zhuang didn't believe it. Compared with these feudal superstitions, he believed in science and his own judgment.

"But why did the prince do this?"

Yu Wenhong had faintly believed what Chu Zhuang said in his heart. After all, Chu Zhuang's various inferences before were all correct.

"The imperial mausoleum collapsed, second brother, you also want to go together, tell me, does he want to lure you out and do it?" Chu Zhuang guessed.

Chu Zhuang did not dare to confirm this.

Along with Yu Wenhong were civil and military officials, as well as palace guards.

How can Yu Wenhong be so confident in fighting in front of so many people?

"It's possible."

Yu Wenhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Basically, the prince's people are on the side of the imperial mausoleum. If he wants to make a move, it will be easier than doing it in Dongfeng mansion."

"But don't worry, they don't dare to do it blatantly, and we have guards around, so it's not so easy for him to do it." Yu Wenhong comforted Chu Zhuang.

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, but he always felt that things were not that simple.

But no matter what, they had to run for this trip to Huangling.

……

"Everything is ready, we can start tomorrow."

Jing Heng came to find Yu Wenjing, and Yu Wenjing and the officials of the cultural relics will set off for the imperial mausoleum early tomorrow morning.

"His Royal Highness, you can pretend to be sick when you leave the city gate and pass by Xiangguo Temple."

Jing Heng pointed to the location of Xiangguo Temple on the map, and they had arranged for someone who looked similar to Yu Wenjing to pretend to be Yu Wenjing on the way.

As long as he remained in the carriage, no one would notice that he was missing.

At that time, Yu Wenjing can take people back to the East Palace from the tunnel.

As for Jing Heng, he couldn't stay in the carriage all the time, he had to follow the troops for a while.

But it doesn't matter, he is walking fast, just sneak out halfway and rush back.

Even if someone finds out that he's gone, they won't think about what he's going to do.

"Well, good, national teacher, you must be careful in this matter, and no mistakes will be tolerated!"

Yu Wenjing nodded, looked at Jing Heng and exhorted.

The final success or failure depends on one action, Yu Wenjing does not want to fall short because of a little mistake.

"Prince, don't worry, everyone has been arranged, just wait until tomorrow to start action." Jing Heng nodded in response.

"The queen mother also notified the orphan. At that time, the national teacher will go directly to the queen mother, and she will find out the palace where the father lives on the same day." Yu Wenjing looked at Jing Heng and said.

When Jing Heng heard this, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his eyes. In fact, he already knew about this matter from the queen.

But it is obviously not suitable to tell Yu Wenjing about this matter.

"Okay, when the time comes, I will go to find the empress." Jing Heng nodded slightly.

All Yu Wenjing pretended in his heart was a plan to force the palace, and he didn't find anything wrong with Jingheng.

In the early morning of the second day, the north gate of Dongfeng Mansion opened, Yu Wenjing took the lead, Yu Wenhong was on the left, followed by civil and military officials, and set off for the imperial mausoleum in a mighty way.

Yunmengxi disguised herself as a servant and followed Chu Zhuang's family members.

This trip will take at least half a month, or even longer, and there may be dangers on the way.

Of course he was worried that Chu Zhuang would go alone, so this time he set out with Yi Rong.

During this period of time, his martial arts has improved a lot, especially the lightness kung fu. Even if he can't beat him, he can escape with Chu Zhuang.
