In the palace, the old emperor waved his hand after taking the medicine, and told Zhao Yan, who was serving here, to go back first.

Now that he is past the age of knowing his fate, and he is sick from overwork, his body is not as good as before, but he did not expect to be so sick this time.

However, after a few days of recuperation, the emperor's mood improved a lot, and most of his illnesses were cured.

He used to really love Zhao Yan, since Zhao Yan moved out of the palace, father and son had no chance to get along like this.

This time, by being sick, he let him enjoy the family happiness again.

Zhao Yan was his eldest son, so the old emperor favored him a little.

Although it shows that he knows that he is worthless, he cannot be entrusted with a big responsibility.

But I also don't want my son to be oppressed by his brothers too hard after a hundred years.

This time Zhao Yan took care of him, and the old emperor thought about it, and just used this as an excuse to reward him with a fief and tell him to go out by himself.

Therefore, when Zhao Liang was about to enter the palace, the old emperor specially asked someone to stop him, telling him not to worry.But he didn't know that his actions were seen in the eyes of Empress Qi and Zhao Yan, and a little bit of delusion arose in his heart.

Zhao Yan left from the old emperor and went back to his bedroom. Just as he entered the room, he saw his mother, Empress Qi, sitting in the room.

"Mother." Zhao Yan hurriedly sat down beside Qi Shi.

Only then did Qi ask: "How is it? Did your father say anything?"

"It's not those insignificant things." Zhao Yan said impatiently: "I keep talking about things about my son when he was a child. It seems that he is close to me. But he didn't mention the big things."

Mrs. Qi grabbed his hand and said: "Your father is reminiscing about the old days with you, just to keep your affection in his heart. This is a great thing. Next time he mentions it, you should take the initiative to ask, maybe he will will think of it?"

"I won't mention it!" Zhao Yan immediately said: "It's not like you don't know father's temperament. If I mention it, he will be furious instead. How can I turn around in the future?"

"But you can't do it like this now." Empress Qi said anxiously: "The Qi family is itching now. If it is not saved, there will be no prosperity in the future. If it weren't for your main room to hang itself suddenly, the Qi family would be in trouble again." How can you be so passive?"

"The queen mother is good at mentioning Qi Qingwan!" Zhao Yan said angrily: "She really doesn't know how to flatter her. Not only is she boring, but she is also very jealous."

"My concubine is happy to be pregnant. It is a happy thing. It is a great event to add a child to the Zhao family. Even the emperor gave the concubine a reward. But she is lucky. She is not yin or yang when she sees me holding a banquet. Come to find something every day."

"This is still her own younger brother, she can't tolerate it, she shows him face every day, if it's a concubine outside, she doesn't know what kind of murder she will do." Zhao Yan said.

"I watched her want to set rules for the pregnant person again, but in a moment of anger, I said that I would raise her younger brother as the main wife and sit on an equal footing with her." Zhao Yan recalled: "The Qi family is on the left and right. No one can say anything even if the title of concubine is mentioned. Who would have thought that when she returned home, she would be locked in her room without making a sound, and she would commit suicide that night."

"This Qi Qingwan is someone who thinks very highly of herself and has been pampered all the way. If you say that, she might feel ashamed, so she can't think about it." Qi sighed: "But this girl has gained a good face for nothing. I didn't expect her brain to be stupid. She is the daughter of the Qi family, but she caused the Qi family to suffer such a disaster, and she died."

"The Qi family relies on the salt affairs, but now His Majesty has cut off the Qi family's retreat in this way. Yan'er, you don't have the slightest advantage. Could it be that we have to watch Zhao Liang ascend the throne?" Empress Qi said painfully.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's eyes darkened, but he gritted his teeth and thumped the table: "I've been kneeling and licking that old thing like a dog these days, and giving him shit and urine. But he didn't notice it at all. , I only know how to use words to perfuse me. Then Zhao Liang never came to serve him for a day, but he wants to give him this great world!"

"These thousands of miles of land should belong to me!" Zhao Yan said with his chest heaving, and his handsome face became a little ferocious and said: "Mother, I am so unwilling!:

Qi Hou immediately squeezed out two tears, patted his back and poured tea for him: "Yan'er, don't be angry, your body is important. Don't worry, this country must belong to you, and no one else can allow it. Tomorrow I will Go try it again with your father and see what his intentions are!"

The next day, Empress Qi went to the emperor's palace with a hand-made tonic.

Although she had visited the emperor a few days ago, she had never been as meticulous as today.

The emperor is not in good health these days and has no appetite at all.

After Qi came over, he opened the lid of the bowl in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I thought you have no appetite, so I boiled some chicken soup and vegetable soup with my own hands. This food is easy to digest. If you don't mind, Your Majesty will try some."

The emperor glanced at the soup cup, his eyes moved.

This chicken soup and vegetable soup is no different from others. When he was still in the prince's residence, the Qi family would often make it for him to drink.

At that time, he had not yet ascended the throne, and he had a very good relationship with the Qi family.The two are very harmonious as husband and wife sing together.

When the emperor was in good health, he couldn't think of the past with the Qi family.But now that I am sick, I feel a little bit emotional when I recall the time when I was in the prime of life.Thinking of his indifference to her these days, Qi Shi felt a little more pity for her.

The emperor took the soup, took a few sips, and felt that although it was not as delicious as the one in the imperial dining room, it had a different taste, but it made him feel better.

Seeing that he drank the soup, Mrs. Qi felt a little relieved, and started chatting with him about the emperor's favorite topics.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to return to the past, and it also made the emperor feel as if he had returned to the time when he first ascended the throne more than ten years ago.

He recalled many past events, and talked to Empress Qi one by one, and the two recalled.

Seeing the emperor talking for a long time, Mrs. Qi didn't show any signs of boredom, and when he talked about the past with him, there was a trace of affection in his eyes.

She gritted her teeth, and said: "I think back then, His Majesty was almost framed by someone, and it was my brother who helped him to escape... It's a pity that they are so estranged with His Majesty now..."

The emperor was in a happy mood when he suddenly heard Qi's mention of his elder brother. How could he not know what she meant?

Quite soon he can be crowned the position of Great Treasure, the Qi family naturally put a lot of effort behind him.As a thank you, he also gave the Qi family enormous wealth and power, allowing the Qi family to grow to this point.

But what he gave was what he gave, and the Qi family was greedy, but still wanted to take advantage of it to threaten him, that was something he would never tolerate.

Originally, he had hoped to rekindle some affection for Qi Shi, but now it was like being poured down by a basin of cold water, and there was not even a bit of it left.

He is Qi's affection, but this affection can't stand the endless tribulation.

From the moment the Qi family made profit for her Qi family for the first time, that affection was wiped out.

No matter how deep the feelings are, after such a long time, there is not much left.

The more the emperor loved Qi Shi, the more he hated her now.

Looking at Qi Shi again, recalling the relationship between him and her in the past, he felt that there were calculations everywhere, where was there any truth?

The emperor coughed violently, and his eyes showed a very cold look.

Empress Qi wanted to help her, but the emperor threw her hand away and said: "You don't need to be hypocritical, I'm afraid that if you help me, I will plan some benefits for your Qi family."

When Empress Qi heard the emperor say this about her, her heart was shattered.

When the emperor married her, he also made an oath to her forever, saying that he would always be single-minded.

But after he became the Great Treasure, one concubine after another continued. Although he said it was to win over the courtiers, didn't a woman with no background like Zhao Liang's birth mother also get favored?

After she gave birth to Zhao Yan, she hadn't had a baby for many years, and later concubines gave birth to Zhao Liang and several other children one after another.

Among those descendants, anyone who could threaten Zhao Yan was eradicated by her and the Qi family.

However, in order not to be too obvious, Zhao Liang was left behind who was the least favored and whose biological mother had no backing.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Liang who became Yan'er's biggest enemy today.

At this time, Empress Qi recalled all the past the emperor had treated her, and hatred welled up in her heart.

If he hadn't treated her like this first, how could she have started to plan a way out for herself.

Which woman doesn't want to be single-minded with her husband, and hold the same eyebrows.

But if she doesn't rely on the Qi family, ask her to rely on the emperor's favor... how can the favor be reliable?

Empress Qi didn't care about so much anymore, she just knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty...my elder brother has no position now, and the Qi family has no way out. How difficult it is. You are looking at it for the sake of Yan'er." , shouldn't be so heartless."

At this time, the emperor stood up tremblingly supported by the palace servants, pointed at her and said, "Although the Qi family has stopped the salt business, the wealth accumulated earlier, even if the whole family eats and drinks together, will last three lifetimes." I can't finish it."

"With such wealth, I'm still not satisfied. Do you still want to climb on top of me and become emperor?" The emperor said, clutching his chest, "On the imperial censor's platform, your brother's papers are piled up like a hill. With those For crimes, even if I ransacked your Qi family and confiscated all your property, I should behead him."

"I didn't hold him accountable. I just let him go home. It was already because of my past affection and I gave him a lot of face." The emperor reprimanded: "If you are greedy again, don't blame me for being ruthless. The descendant of Yan'er I have already figured out the way for him. In a few days, I will give him the fiefdom in the south of Shu, and ask him to go there to be a prince, and he can enjoy his life. If you want to go, you can go with him In the past, if you still wanted to stay in the palace, you should never have any contact with the Qi family."

When Queen Qi heard the bad news, he couldn't help being stunned.She sat on the ground blankly and didn't make a sound for a long time.

The emperor said at this time: "You help the queen up and send her back."

Empress Qi didn't tell Zhao Yan immediately at this time, but she was hesitant and full of twists and turns in her heart.

After Zhao Yan waited on the emperor for a day, and after she returned, she finally made up her mind and went to the side hall where Zhao Yan was.

"Yan'er..." Empress Qi dismissed all the attendants around her, closed the door, and confirmed that there was no one around.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Your father said... that you will be given a territory..."

When Zhao Yan heard this, his heart turned cold.

Today the emperor's attitude towards him suddenly became cold again. He didn't know why, and he didn't dare to ask. After listening to his mother's words, he realized that the emperor had already made up his mind about that woman.

"How could he treat me like this! I am the eldest son of Daxuan!" Zhao Yan said angrily.

"Yan'er!" Mrs. Qi grabbed his hand and said with firm eyes: "Your father is stubborn. He has already made a decision on this matter, and it is irreversible. You have only two ways to go now, one is According to your father's wishes, go to Shuzhou and never return to Beijing. There is another one..."

"What's the other one?" Zhao Yan asked excitedly.

"There is one more...that is to make your father...unable to get sick..." Mrs. Qi leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"Mother's queen... this..." Zhao Yan was covered with white sweat on his back.

What my mother meant...was to make my father...this is a serious crime of regicide and treason!

"Yan'er, if you don't want to, then you have to go to Shuzhou and be overwhelmed by Zhao Liang forever." Empress Qi said, "Now that your father is still here, he doesn't dare to act rashly, but your father Will die one day!"

"At that time... your younger brother Zhao Liang, how could he tolerate the existence of you, the eldest son!" Qi Hou said.

"Yes..." Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Either you die, or I live... If I ascend the throne, I will definitely not tolerate his existence, and let him be with his few friends." The corpse of a party member is smashed into thousands of pieces!"

·

From three days ago, Xie Huaiyu stopped studying, only relaxed himself and made some preparations before the spring.

Tomorrow you will enter the examination room, and you will not be allowed to enter or leave for three days.The conditions in the examination room are bitter and cold, and candidates need to prepare themselves.

Bai Shu didn't know what to prepare, but for such an important matter, he went to the Wei family to inquire.

Wei Ling was meticulous, and made a list of things that needed to be done and things to pay attention to during the Spring Festival.It is also very convenient for Bai Shu to prepare for Xie Huaiyu according to the list.

Because of the great publicity of the imperial examination, regardless of high or low, the location is a unified single room.

The small cubicle, which was no more than three feet long, didn't even have a door. It only had two rotten wooden boards, one for sitting and the other for writing, so candidates had to prepare all kinds of supplies.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the test baskets, copper chords, horn tops, door curtains, stoves, oil lamps, candle scissors, rolling bags, copper chords, etc. listed on Wei Ling's list.

In addition, Bai Shu also prepared two sets of bedding for Xie Huaiyu, a change of clothes for three people, some pens and inks, hand warmers and other items...

Just in case, according to Wei Ling's words, Bai Zhu gave Xie Huaiyu a stomach-invigorating soup one day in advance, so as not to eat those rough foods after entering the examination room and ruin his stomach.

On the day of the exam, Xie Huaiyu woke up early, and the breakfast in the morning was also bland food such as porridge.It is also to avoid eating too greasy, which will cause stomach discomfort during the exam.

Before going out, Bai Shu took out a special double-layer transparent glass food box.Let the chef put the prepared food in it.

After packing it up, I prepared some plum wine and asked Xie Huaiyu to bring it into the examination room to drink.

In fact, there are meals available in the examination room.But the venue for cooking is in the examination hall, and the conditions are simple.

In previous years, diarrhea occurred after eating the meals in the examination room. It is safer to bring all Baizhu at home just in case.

Bai Shu felt that everything was ready, so he asked the boys to carry the salute on their backs, and got into the carriage with Xie Huaiyu.

When the vehicle stopped in front of the examination institute, it was discovered that many people had arrived here earlier than they had.

There are many candidates from poor families who wear rags and only carry a test basket with pens and inks and other items in it, not even a candlestick.

If you go in this time, if it is cold and frosty at night, you will definitely be tortured.

Candidates from merchants or wealthy families have many sources of information, so they need to prepare more thoroughly.

They basically have all the ones that Xie Huaiyu prepared.There are new and old, but they are all enough.

In addition, they also prepared a lot of food.

There must be a lot of pastries such as moon cakes and honey orange cakes.Miscellaneous foods such as lotus rice, round-eyed meat, fried rice, and pickled melon are also popular.

If the conditions at home are not good, ginger is prepared, and it is used to cure diseases when they are uncomfortable.

If the conditions were better, they brought supplements such as ginseng, velvet antler, and cordyceps. Bai Zhu also saw someone bring salted salted duck and Lai Fu Lou's roast duck and other delicacies, which they thought could be eaten during the first day of the exam.

Once you enter the examination room, you cannot come out. At this time, there is still an hour and a half before the examination, which is still early.

Xie Huaiyu was not in a hurry to go in, and stayed with Baishu in the carriage for a while longer.

Bai Shu's stomach is already very big now, and she doesn't know when she will give birth.

Xie Huaiyu lowered his head, kissed the belly reverently, and said with burning eyes: "I will come out in three days, you wait for me, don't give birth early."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "It's not certain, don't think too much, I'm strong, so naturally I'll be fine."

The two talked for a while, and then a servant knocked on the car door and said, "Eldest Young Master, Second Highness and Young Master Qi are here to send you off for the exam."

Xie Huaiyu then went out and exchanged pleasantries with the two of them.

He also explained to Qi Qinyue: "My brother Bai has a big belly, and I'm not at home, so I'm afraid that something might happen. This time, I'm asking you to take care of him for me."

Qi Qinyue rolled her eyes secretly in her heart, she just felt that Xie Huaiyu's wife was so powerful that she could beat a bear, so it was her turn to take care of her.

But Xie Huaiyu wanted to enter the examination room, so he would not let him worry about it, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ruishi, I will send a team to guard outside Xie's house, in case something happens , I will keep your wife safe."

Only then did Xie Huaiyu feel relieved, looked at the time, and entered the examination room with a salute.

After all the candidates entered, the gate of the examination hall was locked from the outside.

Only then did Bai Shu turn the carriage back home and wait for Xie Huaiyu's good news at home.

The examiners in the examination room actually recognize the children of aristocratic families like Xie Huaiyu.

Seeing him coming in, he was very polite, and even sent someone to help him choose a salute, found a good place that was not leaking from wind and rain, and settled him down.

But even so, the examination room was also very crude. Xie Huaiyu installed the door curtain by himself, and spread mats and mattresses on the wooden board before sitting down.

The door curtain Bai Shu prepared for him was very thick, and there was a bamboo pole under it to press his feet, so that the wind could not blow in.

The mats prepared are also thick and comfortable to sit on.If you want to sleep at night, you can spread it on the ground and put another layer of mattress on it.

Xie Huaiyu felt a warm feeling in his heart, thinking that the three days in the examination room would not be so difficult.

After he had prepared his pen and ink, the invigilating examiner came over again and checked all the candidates carefully.

This inspection found three more people involved in fraud.Bring the "Five Classics Quan Zhu" into the examination room on the soles of shoes, obscene clothes, and hair buns.

The three of them were immediately taken away by the waiting sergeant, crying for their father and mother all the way.

According to the regulations of Daxuan, those who commit fraud must wear shackles to show the public, stick a hundred rods, and then be sent to the army.These three people are frail scholars, they are not so strong and strong, they are afraid that they will die before reaching the frontier after a hundred sticks.

After such a quiet movement, all the candidates were panicked.Many students who took the imperial examination for the first time were so frightened that their hands were shaking, which would inevitably affect their performance in the examination room.

Xie Huaiyu is an old student, he has seen many scenes, so he will not take this matter to heart.

After a while, a bell was heard, and some soldiers came over with a stack of rice paper, and a candidate distributed a copy.

After all the candidates had test papers in their hands, the examiner took out a sealed booklet and opened it in front of everyone.

Inside are the exam questions for Chunwei this time!

As soon as the exam questions came out, all the candidates began to scratch their heads, thinking about how to write this article.

Xie Huaiyu didn't panic, he just thought about it slowly, and only slowly wrote on the manuscript paper when he had an idea for the whole article.

He is a good learner, and he knows all those things by heart.What needs to be paid attention to is nothing more than the specifications to be memorized in those stereotyped articles.

In just an hour, Xie Huaiyu wrote a long article eloquently.

The passing examiner saw it and nodded frequently, thinking that the son of Xie's eldest son really lived up to his reputation.

After all, a person who could have directly inherited the title, but still came to the scientific examination by himself, and he did so well in the examination, which is truly admirable.

At this time, Xie Huaiyu put down the manuscript paper and took a rest.

He was not in a hurry to copy the exam paper, he only read it roughly, and wanted to revise it after lunch.

It was almost noon at this time, and there were already soldiers cooking in the examination room.

They have several big pots, and they can cook some rough food at the same time, which is naturally not very tasty.

Xie Huaiyu passed by earlier and saw those iron pots, the sides of which were rusted.

Since he didn't know how to eat the food provided by the examination room, he took out a dime and asked the soldier waiting for a bowl of water.

In the past few days in the examination room, these soldier examiners will also prepare some things and sell them at high prices in the examination room.

The soldier got a dime and was very happy, so he scooped up a bowl of water for Xie Huaiyu.

He thought that Xie Huaiyu asked for water for drinking, but unexpectedly he opened the food box on one side and poured the clear water into the interlayer of the transparent food box.

After a while, there was a stabbing sound from the interlayer, and a puff of water vapor came out.

Xie Huaiyu put the lid on again, and in just a moment, water vapor came out of the food box frequently, and an extremely fragrant fragrance wafted out.

This is the food prepared by Baizhu for Xie Huaiyu in advance. Limestone is used as a cushion in the interlayer, and it can be heated after pouring clean water.

This kind of food box is derived from the ingenuity of Baishu.

Use the transparent glass to make a food box, so that the examiner can see that it cannot be entrained, so that it can be brought into the examination room.

He also used the method of lime meeting water to generate heat, so that Xie Huaiyu could eat hot meals.

When placed in food, it is steamed at high temperature early in the morning, and the edges are tightly sealed with beeswax to keep fresh.

At this time, after high temperature again, the beeswax softened, and Xie Huaiyu could easily lift the lid and eat the food in it.

When had the soldier seen such a high-end food box, his eyes were straightened, and even the examiners next to him smelled the fragrance, so they came over to take a look greedily.

After all, the Xie family's cook is also at the top level in Beijing.

As soon as the aroma comes out, people who can only eat dry food or eat the food prepared in the examination room can't bear it, as if everything they eat has become pig food.

Xie Huaiyu saw it in his eyes, so he was naturally very proud.

This is the kind of head of his family Baishu who came up with such a coup.My own wife is unmatched by everyone!

After he passed the exam, the reputation of this food box would surely spread.

However, because the cost of this transparent glass is too high, ordinary people can't use it unless they are wealthy.

Thinking of this, Xie Huaiyu took a few mouthfuls of food calmly, took out a few mouthfuls of plum wine, and felt sweet in his heart.

Wine can sterilize bacteria, this plum wine is not intoxicating, and it will not go bad if it is carried for a few days, it is more reliable than that of clear water.

As he was eating, the examiner at the side also took out the roast duck he had brought and ate it.

Although his first meal had roast duck, the food was not bad, but he was still very envious of Xie Huaiyu's food and wine.

He had never seen a student who took the exam as easily as Xie Huaiyu. It didn't look like an exam, but rather an outing.

The author has something to say: the wisdom of the ancient people to cheat is very powerful. "Five Classics Quan Zhu" is a miniature print of the Four Books and Five Classics in small characters the size of a pinpoint on a palm-sized book. It is also very clear that it is an artifact of ancient people's cheating.

In ancient times, printing and selling such cheating things would punish the nine clans, but because of the huge profits, some people still do it.There are also gods, one person takes the exam instead of eight people.

But at that time, the imperial examination conditions were really simple. The exam was three days long, and you had to bring everything with you. You had to eat and drink in the small cubicle of the exam room, which was very hard.

Because the conditions are too harsh, many people have diarrhea and get sick during the exam.It's just a full-body workout.
