Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 955 Legendary Life 21.0

King Tong's dissatisfaction with his family, or his anger at his brother, was largely due to the fact that they came to him at the wrong time, which ruined his plan with Emperor Chongde.

"For those who like to jump around and meddle in their private feelings and private lives, they don't want to continue to appease them."

After sitting for a long time, Song Qiyun stood up and paced slowly in the room, looking at Shen Cha who was leaning on Shen Haolin's shoulder, who was about to fall asleep, ran to the inner room and took a blanket, and gently covered her body.

Shen Cha didn't sleep very hard, but was a little dazed. Feeling the weight on her body, she slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at Song Qiyun, and closed her eyes again.

"That year was the third year of Emperor Chongde's accession to the throne, because during these three years, Emperor Jiaren and the Empress Dowager passed away one after another. Even though he didn't have a close relationship with these two, he still had to observe the etiquette that should be observed. Yes. So, a lot of things have been delayed because of it. The most important point, is Enke."

"Enke?" Jin Miaomiao raised his eyebrows, "Indeed, since ancient times, the new emperor has been required to open Enke when he ascends the throne. However, they decided to only offer civil examinations, or all civil and military examinations?"

"The literary test will be held first, and the military test will be held after a year. The chief examiner of the military test has been decided, and it is Tong Wang. The deputy examiners are three generals under Tong Wang's command, and three veterans from the Ministry of War. The military officers in the hall are very satisfied with Emperor Chongde's arrangement. They don't have to do anything, they just need to train the little boys at home hard before the martial arts test officially starts, so that they can have a good score in the martial arts test. It’s enough to embarrass the family. In other words, as long as they can be favored by the old generals and King Tong, and be included in their respective subordinates, the vain title of Wu Zhuangyuan, whoever loves it, they don’t want it. don't care."

"Sure enough, the military commanders are still thinking clearly, knowing that those false names are not important, and the real ability is the most important thing."

"It's a pity that civil servants will never understand this point, thinking that military generals are just trying to be brave." Song Qiyun shrugged, "After the martial arts test was arranged, Emperor Chongde began to think about the most troublesome literary test. It is a big event, and the literary test is always valued higher than the military test. Therefore, when the news that Enke may be opened, the literati in the world are crazy, and the students should seize this rare opportunity. The ministers of the court, especially the group of people from the Imperial Academy, are even more joyful, as if it is the New Year."

"It's not joyful. Their own small groups are ready to move again. They can use various names to contact and build relationships, and try to squeeze their own people into Enkoli this time. If possible, it's best to be here. Arrange your own people in key positions. Each small group is secretly operating, and in the later stage, they start attacking each other, trying to kick each other out of this Enke."

"This battle not only exists among the examiners, but also among their students. Many students missed the Enke due to various reasons. It is conceivable how fierce this battle is. "Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha who had fallen asleep on his shoulder, and said softly, "Emperor Chongde and King Tong had already anticipated this situation before the news was released. Why were those students disqualified for reference? They were convicted of various crimes, but in fact they are very clear about it, and the hidden guards they sent out have already investigated clearly."

"Besides, this is only the early stage. As the news of Cai Enke went from rumors to confirmation, this kind of bickering and stumbling behind each other intensified. Later, it was not only the civil servants who were arguing in the court, but even the The generals have also been affected. As the head of the generals, Tong Wang is the first to bear the brunt."

"What does this have to do with generals? Are there any children in the family taking the literary test?"

"Indeed, there are, but there are not many, and it won't cause any big waves." Song Qiyun waved his hand, "There is news from the palace that His Majesty wants King Tong to be the examiner for both the literary and military examinations. Although it has not been officially announced, But it seems to be settled."

"Before each scientific examination, news about the examiners is flying all over the sky. No one will know the real news until the emperor announces it. How can they be sure that it must be King Tong?"

"I can't be sure, but we must prevent this matter from becoming a reality. The rumors alone have already overwhelmed the officials. They think that King Tong is crossing the line, insulting them, and infringing on their interests." Therefore, in the morning court one day, they changed their previous painting style and launched a fierce attack on King Tong. "

"Emperor Chongde and King Tong didn't expect this?"

"Unexpectedly, they released this rumor to test the reaction of these civil servants. Also, Emperor Chongde really wanted King Tong to be the examiner of the essay test, but this time King Tong refused. So, Candidates are still under consideration.”

"The civil servants would cry if they knew the truth. After a long time, they all made wedding clothes for others."

"In the end, all the civil servants got together. As long as it's not King Tong, they don't care who is the examiner."

"Understood." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "As long as it's not King Tong."

Song Qiyun nodded with a smile, "The things that attacked King Tong have basically been returned. Just when they were preparing for the final onslaught, King Tong's family came here. The ones who came to Beijing were none other than King Tong's." The elder brother personally brought people here, wanting to recognize Tong Wang back. After they arrived in Xijing, they took the initiative to come to the door many times, but they never saw Tong Wang himself, and were stopped by the housekeeper at the gate of the palace. "

"Tong Wang doesn't want to see them?"

"It's true that I don't really think about it. There are various reasons, but the main one is related to Emperor Chongde. If he is recognized, he will leave Xijing and Emperor Chongde. Although they are still in an ambiguous period, there is no special relationship. However, neither of them wanted to leave the other, so King Tong didn't want to see them. But this point was caught by the civil servants and used to attack King Tong, saying that he was deceiving the king, It is said that he abandoned his family and came to flatter the emperor, he is a treacherous minister, he cannot stay with the emperor, his throne must be abolished, he must be driven out, this is a disaster, and he cannot stay."

"At first, Emperor Chongde and King Tong were able to deal with these civil officials with ease. They were step by step to get rid of those unusually active guys bit by bit. More than half of the plan was carried out, and it seemed to be successful. As a result, King Tong's elder brother Guang popped out, disrupting their layout and making them completely passive." Shen Haolin sighed, "But after all, they are relatives of King Tong, and Emperor Chongde didn't want to To punish them, just coax them back to the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, Tong Wang's elder brother is so bold that he wants to break into Tong Wang's mansion in broad daylight to kidnap people and kidnap Tong Wang. "

"They..." Jin Miaomiao swallowed, "Crazy?" She looked at Song Qiyun, "The descendants of King Jing can have such big obsessions, they insist on the other courtyard of the Yan family, no Is it because you want to take King Tong's body home?"
