Lin Ji's struggling life

Days passed like this day by day, Lin Ji was busy fighting wits and courage with the rumors, and when he managed to suppress this matter, a big event happened in the court.

A student who went to Beijing to take the exam because of failure in the exam room crashed to death at the place where the rankings were released, leaving a blood book, exposing the bad habits of the scientific exam, and a shocking case appeared in front of everyone.

This is considered the biggest imperial examination fraud case since Kangxi took office, which alarmed all the bigwigs. Jing Zhaoyin handed over the case to Dali Temple under tremendous pressure.When Kangxi was in the early court, he was furious, and he punished several officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the first to bear the brunt was the invigilator of this session.

Lin Ji had nothing to do with this matter, and stood under Mr. Chen, silent.

He coldly watched these people protect each other, watched them shirk their responsibilities, and watched them fight each other...until Kangxi threw the tea bowl in anger.

With a bang, everyone was startled.

Only now did they see Kangxi's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.Perhaps because he didn't want his sons to mess around anymore, or because he was determined to change the atmosphere of the court, he quickly pushed out Mr. Li, the minister of officials, and asked him to cooperate with Dali Temple Minister to investigate the case.All the personnel involved in the case of the Ministry of Rites were imprisoned, and those who had no direct relationship were fined to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors at home.

Gao Shiqi was considered a disaster for Chi Yu, and was also dismissed from his official position, and sent him to think about his mistakes at home.After this incident, he was also a little disheartened, and took care of his grandson at home all day.When Lin Ji came to the door, he happened to meet him fishing with his grandson Xiaotian.

As a student of his children's school, a classmate of his sons, a grandson of a mentor, and a son of a good brother, Lin Ji is still very familiar with Xiaotian.He sent Xiaotian to find his mother in the inner courtyard with his favorite pastries, sat down on his small bench, and watched Gao Shiqi fish.

"What? You want to laugh at me too?" Gao Shiqi's tone was very aggressive. Recently, he was a little ashamed by the people who came to the door one after another.Gao Shiqi is very clear about what he has done, so he naturally did not participate in this matter.Of course, he didn't deny that he wasn't innocent, at least he didn't stop him.But even if he does nothing, he will not be slandered.

It's a pity that everyone only knows that he was dismissed from his official position by Kangxi and lived at home leisurely.

Lin Ji didn't care either, he knew Gao Shiqi's depression, and said with a smile: "Sir, what are you talking about, this disciple came to serve you, and you still think he'd be disgusted by you?" He handed Gao Shiqi an imitation Worm bait, let him hang on the hook that has been empty.

"Antai, you shouldn't have come. At this time, you should avoid suspicion." Gao Shiqi sighed, this time he was pecked in the eye and played the wrong chess. "Now that the situation in the court is unclear, it's better for you to hug yourself tightly. As for me, don't worry, I've survived many storms and waves, so it's okay." He comforted.

After these years of development, the Gao family is no longer the family that relied on Gao Shiqi alone. Today's Gao family is flourishing, and among the next generation, Xiaotian's talent is fully displayed, and he is not afraid of having no successors.

"Don't worry, sir, I know it well." Lin Ji nodded, he naturally knew Gao Shiqi's scruples.After all, recently, several elder brothers are ready to make trouble, and Lin Ji has a close relationship with several elder brothers. Even with Kangxi's blessing, Gao Shiqi is still afraid that he will be implicated and deeply involved.

Nowadays, there are very few people in the court who can be independent from the struggle.Regarding the future, Gao Shiqi had already had speculations in his mind, but he didn't dare to say or act because of his immaturity in various aspects.

"Why did you come to see me?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Gao Shiqi had no choice but to ask.

Lin Ji was still thinking about the conversation between Kangxi and himself just now, and almost didn't realize it.When he came back to his senses, Gao Shiqi had been watching him for a long time.Somewhat embarrassedly said: "Sir, the imperial examination fraud case involves too much. Now that Dali Temple is involved in a thorough investigation, I'm afraid it will take time to solve it. The emperor intends to hold another exam and wants me to be the chief examiner."

It is said that there are many people in the court who are better than Lin Ji in terms of seniority, age and achievements, but Kangxi just wants him to come.Kangxi was secretly planning in his heart to turn the rumors into reality.

When it was reported that Lin Ji's daughter was going to marry Prince Yong's son, he was still wondering if Lin Ji was bought by his son.But seeing Lin Ji jumping up and down in a hurry to get rid of it, I don't think so.

Now Kangxi really wants to give them a marriage. It would be a good thing for his grandson to marry Lin Ji's daughter. At that time, the Lin family will be tied to the royal ship.

There is another reason why Kangxi advocated the Man-Han family policy. Only such a successful combination case can prove the correctness of his policy.

"Why?" Gao Shiqi thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

Lin Ji didn't understand either. He pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. "I just don't know why, so I came to ask my husband for advice." Lin Ji said shamelessly that he really couldn't figure out this matter, and he had to rely on his husband.

Gao Shiqi was a little helpless, he was not a roundworm in Kangxi's stomach, could he know things that no one else knew? !Shaking his head, "Since the emperor has already spoken, then you can continue, left and right are not a bad thing." He also couldn't figure it out, so let it be.

Lin Ji nodded thoughtfully, since both husband and father said so, then he should do it.Zuo is just an examiner, if something goes wrong, the sky above his head will be held up by a tall one.

There were also examples of additional imperial examinations in the previous dynasty. As the person in charge of Honglu Temple, Lin Ji was very confident when he dug up these historical books as evidence to speak.He fought all the heroes in the court and won a chance for all the students to take an additional test.

It is absolutely impossible for such a high-profile exam to have a second fraud case.And Lin Ji, who was in charge of the exam, also started to get busy. In order to hold an exam that satisfies everyone, he began to cut into all aspects of the preparation work, and even refurbished the exam room for the students.

In May, when the weather was hot, the students were wearing single clothes and sweating profusely in the exam room, but they still insisted on finishing the last subject.The anti-heat medicine that Lin Ji ordered was very effective. All the students persisted until the last moment. Except for those who ate the wrong food and had diarrhea, or those who collapsed due to too much pressure, the rest were fine.When Lin Ji saw the thick stacks of examination papers in the reading room, he felt happy.

He likes this feeling, which makes him feel like returning to his previous life after finishing the college entrance examination.The college entrance examination marking is probably like this. Lin Ji picked up one of the examination papers, flipped through the answer papers with different fonts, and felt emotional.

Such a thin piece of paper can determine a person's fate.

With Lin Ji and several Yuanwailang who he specially trained, the speed of marking papers has been greatly improved.When Lin Ji took the disassembled test papers and sorted them in front of Kangxi, Kangxi's face that had been calm for the past few days finally cleared up.Looking at his appearance, Lin Ji knew that he had done a good job on this errand.

Maybe it was because he was already quite suitable to be a teacher, but Lin Ji actually experienced a kind of hidden joy from this kind of marking work.I don't know if it's because he took too many exams in his previous life, but Lin Ji likes his current role reversal very much.

"It seems that Lin Aiqing is very experienced. She really deserves to be a person who opened an academy. I saw that the academy you left in Pingliang is very good. I heard that the results of the local examinations in the past few years have been good?" Kangxi was very satisfied with the marking on the examination papers, Concise and clear at a glance.

Lin Ji saluted, "Your Majesty praises me, I still have a lot to learn. As for the academy in Pingliang, I just helped to set up an airs. The rest of the matter is the result of the joint efforts of local officials. "He didn't dare to take credit, and he didn't want to.

Looking at the tall man in the court, Kangxi felt joy in his heart, and the thought in his mind blurted out, "Antai, I want to marry your daughter and the fourth son's son." He looked at Lin Ji's slightly changed face, and changed his mind. Mouth: "If you don't like Honghui, Hongshi or Hongli are also fine." However, the status of the other two mothers is too low, and Kangxi is a little embarrassed to say it.

What is this God unfolding? !Lin Ji felt that he was about to collapse, and it was hard for him to suppress the rumors. Now that Kangxi has made a fortune, this is great, and he has no chance to change it.Everyone knows that the emperor kept his word, and what he said was like water poured out, which could not be taken back.

Of course, even if you take it back, your daughter's reputation will be ruined by then.Lin Ji was very helpless. At this point, he had no choice but to accept it.

Kangxi's imperial decree arrived at Lin's house almost at the same time as Lin Ji.

When Zarafon'a received the order, his whole mind was lost in the sky, and he couldn't get back to his senses at all.Lin Ji received the imperial decree, sent the inner prisoner away, helped Zarafon'a back to the house, and several children followed behind in a daze, except for Qingqing, the others didn't even know what marriage was.

Doudou, that is, Lin Jingwei, leaned against her mother with some worry, stroked her, and comforted her: "Mother, my son knows Prince Yong's son, brother Honghui is good to me, don't worry." In fact, Zara Feng'a and Sifujin are fairly acquainted, the two families have a close relationship, and there is also some affection between the children.

As for the matter of getting married, it may be that following Qingqing, Doudou also has a certain understanding of her marriage.She doesn't care who she will marry in the future, the only thing she wants is to live the life she expects.

Thinking about it, actually marrying brother Honghui is not a bad idea, they know each other well, and they have something to talk about.

While Zarafon'a and Lin Ji were discussing their daughter's marriage, Prince Yong's mansion on the other side was full of excitement.In the main courtyard, Si Fujin was rummaging through boxes and packing things, and she almost couldn't laugh out loud when she received the imperial decree.From the looks of it, she knew that Ulanara was very happy. Her son's lifelong event had finally come to an end. She had been looking forward to it for all these years, and finally this day came.

Moreover, the daughter-in-law was chosen by Ulanara herself, even if she had to wait for a few years, she didn't care.Repeatedly ordering the servants to pack up their things and prepare to send them to the future daughter-in-law, a head appeared next to the door. Elder brother Honghui was holding a small box and smiling silly at his mother-in-law.

He was overjoyed when he learned that his daughter-in-law was the cutie from Uncle Lin's family.At his age, he already knew something about his own marriage. Hong Hui was very happy to avoid those savage women and choose the one he liked, and went back to the house early to prepare a meeting ceremony for his future wife.

In this way, the two families greeted a new turning point with different faces.

The author has something to say: Well, the taste has changed a bit as I wrote it, but it is indeed Lin Ji's own struggling life, so everything happened around him.

The following order meeting will be followed from the 20th to the 25th, from 26:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm every day, so it will be temporarily suspended.Wait until the [-]th to come back and update, and try to finish it by the end of the month.
