The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Walking to the library of the Lin Mansion, Mu Lingrou was looking for something: "Well, the Lin family is not as good at learning. I have never seen the books I am looking for. Come with me to the Su Mansion in a few days!"

"Just to find books?" Zhang Jing asked Mu Lingrou, but Mu Lingrou just smiled at Zhang Jing, and Zhang Jing immediately understood.

"Miss Su is a blessing or a curse to the princess!"

"how do I say this?"

"Lu has watched the Princess grow up since she was a child. After Master Hou was promoted, the lady has never smiled again, nor has she ever been sad for anyone. She doesn't know joy, anger, sorrow, joy and warmth of human beings. Lu is a little scared, but since she appeared, the Princess seems to have returned Back to ten years ago, Lu still has to thank her for this!"

Mu Lingrou took a deep look at him, took the Heart Sutra and left without saying a word.

The wind in the eastern capital is very strong tonight, and the weather in the north is also dry in summer. There is no moon tonight, and the sky is particularly dark, which just sets off the glorious imperial capital under the darkness. noisy.

Even if the city is bustling and bustling, the imperial palace is still the same, surrounded by deep walls and heavily guarded, the ladies in the palace can only chat in private, and the imperial palace with tens of thousands of people seems a bit deserted.

"Your majesty, tonight?" As the night got dark, Ju Yuan saw that the emperor had no intention of leaving.

"I just slept in the side hall, why?"

"Oh, no, the imperial examination is just a few days away, and the imperial examination imposed by the emperor has also urged the prime minister to take it!" Xiao Yuanzi didn't dare to ask any other questions, so he had to use this to open his mouth.

"I'm going to come up with this year's test questions myself. I buried a Li Yu with my own hands, and the white sheet can't be reused. I'm waiting!" Li Yu killed him prematurely because of his personal affair, which laid many hidden dangers.

"What are you waiting for, Your Majesty?"

"The next Li Yu, a Li Yu who has nothing to do with the person I love!" If Li Yu had no entanglements with the Queen, if Li Yu hadn't had that kind of selfishness, maybe Li Yu is still alive and well now.

Speaking of his beloved, Tian Wuhen hesitated for a moment, but he was still stubborn after all.

"Niang Niang? I won't wait for the emperor tonight!" Tian Wuhen is often busy with government affairs, but he will always come at this time, and the palace people in the middle palace are used to it, but today, the hostess is going to sleep.

"Turn on the light, I'm tired!" Bai Muxue only said this, very lightly and indifferently.

Tian Wuhen looked at the booklet and saw that in the middle of the night, the palace people in the side hall changed a batch, but they couldn't survive the night, and they were all sleepy.

Ju Yuan leaned against the pillars in the hall and dozed off, opening and closing his mouth.

While the candle was flickering, Tian Wuhen realized that the night was very dark, stopped writing and stretched, saw that Ju Yuan was sleeping soundly, so he took off his coat and put it on for Ju Yuan.

The king's airs are not needed at this time, the little eunuch is still awake, he wanted to shout but was stopped by Tian Wuhen.

He whispered to the little eunuch who was at a loss: "Help him to sleep, keep your voice down!"

"Wei!" He nodded and came over to help the sleeping Ju Yuan carefully.

Tian Wuhen went back to the inner room to wash his face, undressed himself and went to sleep.

In the early morning, the Daming Palace is illuminated by the first ray of sunlight, and the tiles shine brightly.

"Long live my emperor!"

Kneeling under the hall is his minister, but also his right-hand man, and it is a double-edged sword: "This year's imperial examination, what suggestions do you have?"

In the hall, no one made a sound, guessing the emperor's meaning, waiting for the emperor's meaning.

He shook his head: "The imperial examinations are full of mediocrity every year, which makes people feel chilling, chilling you!" It's not mediocrity, but he scolded the ministers. Just take it.

"This year I will come up with the questions myself, and the Ministry of Rites will come to me to get the test questions on the day of the exam!" The test questions are usually written by the emperor, but they also have to be accompanied by the bachelors of the Hongwen Museum.

There is no problem with this statement, it is just an imperial examination.

"In addition to the examination questions, there is also the palace examination, which I will review personally!" The last palace examination was just a summons, and he discovered that Li Yu was not a coincidence, but an acquaintance.

The emperor talked eloquently, but no one below said anything, which is also strange: "Do you have any opinions?"

Ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them objected.

The notice of the imperial examination had been posted all over the Su Dynasty a few months ago, and now the inns in the imperial capital are full of scholars and scholars from other places.

Dongdu

The young man looked up at the tall city wall, then went into the city, found an inn at the foot of the imperial city, and went in.

This inn is very special, and the name is also special: Zhuangyuan Building!

"Shopkeeper, stay here!" The young man said gently, and the shopkeeper glanced at him, but he didn't have a good look.

"Go and go, didn't you see that all the people who come to live here are young masters? You poor scholar!" Of course, there are many champions in the champion building, and this place is more elegant. Most of the nobles come, and it is easy for those who have connections to go to high school.

The young man frowned. Although his body was simple, he showed aura when worn on him. His facial features were all well-developed. He had the air of a scholar. He should come from a scholar's family.

"I'm here to take the imperial examination, I can pay you money!" He was not angry at the shopkeeper's words.

"Yo? The imperial examination!" The bystanders laughed.

"Who doesn't know what can be tested regardless of the imperial examination?" The young people know the things that are obvious and dark.

"Many high-ranking officials in the late Emperor came from humble backgrounds, as did Li Yu and Master Li a few years ago!" The young man was dissatisfied with their answers, but he did not dislike Li Yu.

But neither he nor those people knew that Li Yu was from his own family, a member of the Li clan in Zhao County.

The young man lost his parents when he was young, and he just won the crown this year, but he doesn't like flamboyance.

As soon as his words came out, everyone laughed so hard that they turned their backs: "Is this person stupid? Now that the powerful officials are playing court, Li Yu might as well be given to death!"

Li Yu's results made the underprivileged people dare not speak out.

The young man didn't give up: "Master Li is an upright official and has done many things that benefit the people. Although I don't know why the emperor wants to kill him, he is still a rare good official!"

"Okay, I advise you, let's go, here are the children of aristocratic families, I can't afford to offend you!" The assistant kindly persuaded this scholar who didn't know what to do, because there are many children of nobles in the champion building.

He refused to leave. He lost his parents since he was a child, and was ostracized by his tribe. When he was young, he suffered from a dream at the age of 15.

Take out a certain amount of money, it seems that this person does not seem to be from a humble family, and the store has no choice but to arrange for someone to take him to find a room.

There are no single rooms in the building, but doubles. This is also the characteristic of the Zhuangyuan Building, so he was arranged to live with another person.

In the private room on the second floor, at a corner, the person who came first after entering was reviewing books.

She looks even more handsome than him, and her complexion is as white as a woman's, but the clothes she wears can be seen to be Shu embroidery.

Maybe it was because he was engrossed in reading, but he didn't hear anyone coming in, so the clerk knocked lightly on the door.

He just raised his head, followed by a natural smile. He had the same gentle temperament as that young man, and he seemed very easy to get along with.

"Is Xiongtai also here to take the imperial examination?" Putting down the book, getting up and rushing to meet him, he asked very politely.

"Exactly!" Li Qiao nodded.

"Where are you from?"

"Zhaozhou praises the emperor!"

Then Li Qiao added another sentence: "Li Qiao, the name is Jushan!"

"Brother Jushan, in Shimoda Ming, courtesy name Zhongwen, from Chang'an!"

"Brother Zhongwen, you are from Chang'an!"

"It's in Caozhou now!" Tian Ming looked at Li Qiao: "There is an ancestral home of the Li family in Zhaojun in Zhaozhou. Brother Jushan must..."

Li Qiao smiled knowingly. He became famous at the age of 15, and many people know about it.

"It is indeed from the Li family of Zhao County!"

The royal family was originally also surnamed Li, the Li family in Longxi, and later changed to the Tian family.

But Li Qiao lost his parents when he was young and was excluded by his clan.But why not this Tian Ming.

"Brother Zhongwen just said that he was originally from Chang'an, why did he go to Caozhou?"

Li Qiao sat down with Tian Ming for a long talk, Li Qiao's question made Tian Ming look embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing his appearance, Li Qiao guessed that Tian Ming must have something to hide.

"I'm the youngest son in my family. I lost my father when I was young, and then I was driven to Caozhou." Can Tian Ming say that?Now it is involuntary to go back to the East.

Li Qiao also lost his relatives since he was a child. Perhaps his fate is similar, and he has a special affection for Tian Ming.

"Then is brother Zhong Wen's mother still alive?"

Tian Ming paused, wrinkling his forehead. There were many gossips about his mother in Chang'an, and he didn't want to bring it up.

"My mother was originally the third uncle's wife, and later my father..."

This matter sounds very complicated, but it is a very obscure thing, and Tian Ming would actually tell it.

Hearing Tian Ming's words, it seems that the Tian family's family affairs are more complicated than theirs: "With all due respect, I have never heard of the Tian family..."

Tian Ming shook his head, of course the Tian family would not appear: "Just treat me as an ordinary citizen!"

"But you don't talk like that!"

Temperament has a lot to do with birth, and conversation has a lot to do with upbringing. Everything about Tian Ming, including how he treats people, let Li Qiao know that he is not an ordinary person.

"Then what am I like?"

"Imperial air?"

Tian Ming laughed for it, and then said seriously: "Only the Son of Heaven can say that, otherwise everything would be treason."

He intended to remind Li Qiao to be careful when speaking.

"You don't want to say, I only think of you as my Li Qiao's friend who has forgotten the years, and I hope that you will be named on the gold list and serve the court together!"

Tian's answer was more of a smile. He didn't like the imperial court that Li Qiao was talking about, and it was really a last resort to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

Xu Shi had a similar fate, and the two talked happily.

Tian Wuhen's complexion was not very good after the morning court, he ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and lay down without approval.

Ju Yuan looked worried: "Your Majesty, do you want to call Doctor Zhang!" Tian Wuhen waved his hand, motioning for him to back down, so Ju Yuan had no choice but to back out. He walked back and forth outside the hall for a long time, but he still went to the backyard .
