I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 118
The three secret books were delivered to the capital at almost the same time. In the imperial study, Eunuch Liu, the former imperial eunuch, retreated to a corner and stood quietly.

The emperor who is over fifty years old is well maintained, sitting behind the dragon table, his aura is not angry but mighty, perhaps because the imperial driver has personally conquered three times, compared with the weaker first emperor, the sage who has been on the battlefield is more noble. In the middle of the murderous.

"Uncle Huang's handwriting is the same as in the past." The Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing after reading the secret book, and he could see that he respected Prince Yu, an elder.

Eunuch Liu answered with a respectful attitude, "The old prince is the worst at writing notes."

Whether it is a courtier or a member of the royal family, they usually ask the emperor for instructions when they have something to do, but Prince Yu is the only one who comes to the palace with a whip.

Compared with the written papers written in a more literary manner, Prince Yu would rather speak directly to the Holy Majesty, and he can bargain, and have a royal meal by the way.

Prince Yu's notebook is very detailed, including all the details of the poisoning case, and it is obvious that Prince Yu's preference for Zhan Feiyu is mentioned in the notebook five times. The girl is smart and well-behaved.

As for Wan Yunhao who was poisoned to death, to paraphrase Prince Yu's meaning, he deserves death!

Not only did he betray his mentor, but he also killed Zhao Jiaoyu's granddaughter. The key is that Wan Yunhao, a hypocrite, also fascinated the scholars of Nanxuan Mansion, and all the children of poor families took him as the head.

Prince Yu wrote in the booklet that if such a despicable and shameless villain was in the army, Prince Yu would definitely drag him out and chop him up.

At the end of the excerpt, Prince Yu Wen also showed off his literary talents: most of the righteous people are dog-slayers, and most of them are scholars who are ungrateful!Obviously he doesn't want to see scholars.

"Uncle Huang's jealous temperament has not changed at all." The sage put the notebook aside, then picked up Gu Qingzhou's notebook and looked at it. Apart from other things, this flowing handwriting is much better, at least it doesn't hurt the eyes.

Gu Qingzhou is also a little disciple who protects himself, and only thinks that Liu Jian may be behind the poisonous killing of Wan Yunhao, but the forbidden dragon guards have not found any evidence, and the case cannot be closed yet.

The Holy Majesty put down the booklet and gently tapped the dragon table with his left hand. This is the habit of the Holy Majesty when he is meditating. The longer the silence, the deeper the displeasure of the Holy Majesty.

Liu Jian is just a second-rank official with a lot of experience and no ability. There are many officials in the court who are like this. The reason why Liu Jian can be imprisoned is because he is the eldest prince behind him.

"Tong Wan Quan was impeached by the censor not long ago, and Wan Yunhao was poisoned to death as a young man." The Holy One smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup, expressing deep emotion, "It is said that the whole world is the king's land, In my opinion, this imperial palace is my royal land, other places are not under my jurisdiction."

This is heartbreaking!
In the imperial study room, Eunuch Liu knelt down on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling and terrified, "The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down..."

Glancing at Eunuch Liu, who was kowtowing like garlic, the Holy Majesty couldn't help laughing and scolding: "What are you afraid of, an old slave, a palace is not enough for you, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu stood up tremblingly, seeing that the Holy Majesty was in a good mood, but he didn't dare to let down his vigilance at all, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.

"Qing Zhou is still right. There are only three meals a day, and only one bed at night. After death, it is just a coffin. Human greed is really ridiculous. I can't understand it, so I suffer." The Holy One couldn't help it. I thought of Gu Qingzhou who was dodging far away in Shangsi County. If the officials in the court were as open-minded as a light boat, that would be the peaceful and prosperous age of He Qinghaiyan.

"Lord Gu is the sixth-ranked and No. [-] scholar hand-picked by the emperor's imperial pen, so he is naturally far-sighted than others. The old slave has never read a book, but I have heard people say that only the appearance of a famous emperor through the ages will be accompanied by the stars of Wenqu." Eunuch Liu smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. These words clearly praised Gu Qingzhou, but the one who really flattered him was the current sage.

The Holy One laughed loudly, and gave Eunuch Liu a virtual nod, "It's time for Qing Zhou to listen to your words, all his merits of studying hard in the cold window have been attributed to me by you, an old slave."

The last secret book was sent by the dark dragon guard. Compared with the papers of Prince Yu and Gu Qingzhou, this secret book does not contain any emotions, and it reports everything that happened in Shangsi County to the emperor on a matter-of-fact basis.

The case of Wan Yunhao's poisoning has not been investigated yet, and the Dark Dragon Guard does not know the murderer, but it is clearly written in the secret book, because he has been secretly protecting Gu Qingzhou, and Zhan Feiyu lives in the farm these days, so Also under the surveillance of the Dark Dragon Guard.

Therefore, the suspicion of the master and the apprentice can basically be ruled out. If they can avoid the surveillance of the Dark Dragon Guards and poison Wan Yunhao, it will be really terrible.

Seeing what was written at the end of the notebook, the Holy Majesty couldn't help being surprised, and turned out Prince Yu's notebook again, "Bring the paper cutter."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately went to fetch the knife.

The Holy Majesty touched the thickness of the airtight cover, and then cut open the cover with a knife, and there really was an interlayer. He took out the paper and unfolded it. It was still Prince Yu's handwriting that hindered people's admiration, and it was written about military boxing.

"Good!" After reading it, the Holy Majesty couldn't help being overjoyed. Wu Yan discovered this set of boxing by accident. Even the emperor's uncle said it was good. After it is popularized in the army, it will definitely reduce the death toll of soldiers in the future. where?"

"Still waiting outside, this old servant will go now." Eunuch Liu who was walking outside covered his surprise eyes, what did Prince Yu write to make Long Yan happy.

The Holy Majesty glanced at the secret letter again, the military style boxing that both the emperor and the dark dragon guards would agree with must be extraordinary, this kid Wu Yan really doesn't know what to say, and the benefits of getting it are all pushed out.

It was clearly written in Prince Yu's secret letter that Yin Wuyan discovered this martial arts boxing, and this achievement should naturally be attributed to Yin Wuyan. Who would have thought that he would reject him, so this matter was handed over to Sheng Shang to handle it.

In the future, all the soldiers who benefited from the army will be grateful to the Holy Majesty and the court, especially the soldiers at the border. Those who can survive will only be more loyal to the Holy Majesty.

Outside the imperial study room, Zhang Ming, the guard of the palace, is not the best in kung fu, but he is the one with the best reading and the best memory among the guards. That's why he was selected by Prince Yu to learn military boxing.

"I pay homage to the First Prince." Zhang Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately knelt down and saluted when he saw the First Prince striding forward.

Condescendingly looking down at Zhang Ming, who was wearing a bodyguard uniform, the First Prince said coldly, "Who are you?"

"The humble Zhang Ming, the second-class bodyguard of Prince Yu's Mansion." Zhang Ming answered with his head bowed.

Prince Yu ignored court affairs these years and became a veritable king of idleness. This also caused the royal relatives and high-ranking officials in the capital to ignore Prince Yu's mansion. Fortunately, Prince Yu is a clan relative with a high seniority. He is the Holy Majesty's cousin, so these talents dare not be too presumptuous.

Ah!The First Prince gave a sneer of unknown meaning. Thinking of the secret letter he received last night, his haughty expression became a little more sinister. Liu Jian is his man, and the Nanxuan Mansion is also under his control.

But because of Gu Qingzhou's meddling this time, Zhang Zhifu successfully seized power, and Wan Quan, a fellow magistrate, almost lost his official position.

The eldest prince didn't dare to do anything to Gu Qingzhou, a cabinet scholar, not to mention that he couldn't please Gu Qingzhou, and if he really made trouble, his father would only scold himself at Gu Qingzhou.

But what is Prince Yu?If the old man opposes Liu Jian in Shangsi County, that is to slap him in the face!He can't touch Prince Yu's mansion, but he can't touch a second-class guard in the palace?
The eldest prince had an arrogant attitude, squinting at Zhang Ming who was kneeling on one knee, "I heard that the emperor's uncle was brave and warlike at the border, and the guards under him were all first-class masters. Bao Ju is the prince's personal bodyguard. Let's try it out, so that this prince can see the elegance of Prince Yu's Mansion!"

The man standing behind the eldest prince immediately took two steps forward. He was not tall and had a thin body, but his eyes were sharp and sinister, exuding blood.

Anyone who knew the eldest prince knew that his personal bodyguard was a master, born with infinite strength. Once an assassin assassinated the eldest prince, eighteen dead men all died in Bao Ju's hands, and none of them had a complete body.

The weapon he was good at using was specially made. There was a crescent-shaped scimitar at the top of the weapon, which was extremely sharp. Every enemy he defeated was dismembered by the scimitar, either with their necks broken or their arms chopped off.

Zhang Ming was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the eldest prince would make things difficult for him, a small bodyguard.

"What? Didn't you hear my prince's words?" The voice suddenly turned cold, and the eldest prince kicked Zhang Ming's shoulder with arrogance, "It seems that you don't want those ears anymore!"

The eldest prince practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are superb. With this kick, Zhang Ming, who was defenseless, flew upside down, and hit a pillar not far away with a bang.

"Don't dare to be humble!" Zhang Ming suppressed the smell of blood in his mouth, stood up quickly, and glanced at the murderous Bao Ju, "I also ask Bao's guard to give me some advice."

The eldest prince sneered, his skills were inferior to others, even if he was beheaded, I believe the emperor uncle would have nothing to say.

Eunuch Liu came out of the hall, and he knew what was going on when he saw the sword-tattling posture, so he hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Your servant pays homage to the First Prince."

The eldest prince can not give anyone face, but Eunuch Liu is serving in front of the imperial court, so the eldest prince will not offend easily, "Eunuch Liu, is father busy?"

"The Holy Majesty is still reviewing the memorial." Eunuch Liu replied with a smile, looking at Zhang Ming who was at the side, his sharp voice was a little hurried, "Guard Zhang tidy up your clothes quickly, how can you be rude in front of the Holy Majesty?"

"Why did the father summon a guard?" The eldest prince dissatisfied and looked at Eunuch Liu suspiciously. Could it be that this old eunuch did it on purpose?
Even though the eldest prince holds the military power, Eunuch Liu is loyal to only one person, the sage, and his stooped body straightened up a little, "The eldest prince forgives the sin, but this old slave dare not speculate on the holy will. Guard Zhang, come into the hall with the old slave to face the holy."

"Yes." Zhang Ming, who had tidied up his clothes, hurried over and was summoned by the Holy Majesty. Even if the eldest prince was arrogant, he would never dare to stop him.

The eldest prince's face was extremely gloomy, and the three-point murderous look in his eyes instantly turned into ten-point murderousness. He winked at Bao Ju, hum, the King of Hades wants him to die in the third watch, who dares to keep him past the fifth watch!
You are the eldest prince, but without the summon of the Holy Majesty, he can only sit in the side hall and wait at this moment.

But at this moment, in the imperial study room, after watching Zhang Ming's rehearsal of military boxing, the sage Longyan Dayue, who is capable of gentle and martial arts, naturally saw the subtlety of this boxing technique, and what the emperor's secret letter said was not an exaggeration.

"Go down and rest first, and tomorrow you go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing." The Holy One said with a smile, and Zhang Ming immediately knelt down to accept the order to thank him with a friendly attitude.

The Jingjiao Camp can be said to be an army directly under the Holy Lord's control. A [-] army guards the capital. Therefore, the first thing the Holy Majesty considers when promoting military boxing is the Beijing Suburb Camp.

As for the various guards, we will send people from the capital at that time.

After Zhang Ming stepped back, Eunuch Liu said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is asking to see you, and he is waiting in the side hall right now."

"Let him in." Sheng Sheng said without looking up, picked up the ink pen and continued to read the memorial.

The eldest prince waited impatiently, but fortunately, a young eunuch finally delivered the oral order from the Holy Majesty, "My ministers will see my father."

"Exemption." Putting the memorial together, the Holy Majesty looked at the tall and straight eldest son, and said with a smile, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Father, I heard that Wu Yan went to Nanxuan Mansion, and he has close contacts with Master Gu." The eldest prince complained unceremoniously.

The seven princes under the Holy Majesty's knees are all jealous of Yin Wuyan. They are obviously the blood of the emperor, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, but the one that the emperor loves most these years is that boy Yin Wuyan!
What made the eldest prince and the others even more jealous was that, except for the eldest prince who had led the army, the five adult princes were now in the military department; the second prince was in the official department, and the remaining three adult princes were idlers.

But in contrast, Yin Wuyan took over the Forbidden Dragon Guard a few years ago, not only holding the power of life and death, but also won the trust of the Holy One. Those who didn't know thought that the Holy One planned to change Yin Wuyan's nephew as the crown prince!
"My son is three years old, and he's still as jealous as he was when he was a child." The Holy Master reprimanded him feigning anger. His son is more than brave, but unfortunately his temper is not stable enough.

The eldest prince still had a stern face, angry and unwilling.

"Bachelor Gu gave Wuyan enlightenment back then. This time your uncle is in Shangsi County. As a junior, Wuyan will definitely go there." The Holy Majesty did not clearly say that Yin Wuyan had contact with Gu Qingzhou, but the real purpose was Go investigate Zhan Feiyu.

Even if Zhan Feiyu provided movable type printing and handed over the new salt-making method to the imperial court, the emperor is suspicious. If he is really a naturally intelligent person, that’s all. If Zhan Feiyu’s identity is suspicious and there is someone behind him, the Holy One must find out .

"Father, are you not worried at all?" The eldest prince was furious, and said without holding back: "Uncle Huang has been at the border for 20 years, and Master Gu is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a model scholar in the world, that kid Wuyan Mastering the Forbidden Dragon Guard, father, you actually got these three people together!"

"Okay, stop thinking about it, father knows it well!" The Holy Majesty waved his hands in disdain, signaling the eldest prince to back down, "Your imperial uncle has made many military achievements and is a hero of the Daqing Dynasty, and Gu Xueshi has no second thoughts."

As for Yin Wuyan, who was brought up by the Holy One, the Holy One knows exactly what kind of character he is, and besides, he is not suspicious of employing people, and he is not suspicious of others. If an emperor doesn't have such a mind, how can he recruit the wise men of the world.

Besides, the Holy Majesty knew that he had read the right person, and Wu Yan was pushing for the benefits of the military body boxing. He had seven princes under his knees. I'm afraid no matter who he was, he would be reluctant to give up this achievement. Gratitude, love, this temptation is not small.

……

The cicadas were singing outside the study, making the person who called them feel dry, coupled with the scorching sun and high temperature, it seemed that they would not stop until they were dried out.

The injury at the bend of the leg made Zhan Feiyu sit on a chair, and it is estimated that he will recover in seven or eight days. There was a burst of dizziness in front of his eyes, and Zhan Feiyu squatted on the desk. He must have suffered from heat stroke.

Gu Yuan hurriedly put down the ice basin in his hand, looked anxiously at Zhan Feiyu who was lying on the table like a dead snake, "Miss?"

Even though he didn't like it or even resisted it at first, it can be seen that after seeing Zhan Feiyu's hard work in studying, Gu Yuan, a young man, really regarded her as his little master.

"I'm fine, I'm just dizzy." Zhan Feiyu whispered with his eyes closed, it must be caused by the hot weather.

"I'll call the doctor over." Gu Yuan turned around and was about to walk out the door.

"No, I'll just take a rest." Zhan Feiyu straightened up, not being so delicate.

But when he looked down and saw the paper that was almost crumpled by himself, Zhan Feiyu groaned in pain, and hurriedly straightened out more than a dozen papers. This is Wan Yunhao's original paper, so it must not be damaged.

Seeing Zhan Feiyu pale and still finishing the papers, Gu Yuan said angrily, "These papers are the culprit! A day off won't affect anything!"

Zhan Feiyu paused, and after a long silence, he slowly looked down at the paper in his hand, the culprit?

"Teacher!" With a groan, Zhan Feiyu grabbed the paper in his hand, jumped off the chair, and hopped out with one foot like a rabbit, "Teacher, I finally know..."

In the front yard, in the small flower hall for guests, Gu Qingzhou sat with a normal expression.

However, Prince Yu slapped the secret letter on the table angrily, and roared, "How unreasonable! Do you think there is no one in Prince Yu's mansion?"

After Zhang Ming left the palace, he almost collided with Bao Ju's horse on the way back to Prince Yu's mansion, and a fight broke out. Fortunately, the people from Wucheng soldiers and horses happened to be patrolling, which stopped the vicious fight.

Bao Ju seemed to have been stabbed, but in fact Zhang Ming's long sword slashed his arm, causing only flesh wounds and bleeding a little.

In contrast, Zhang Ming was seriously injured, with a broken right arm and a fractured left leg.

The two parties who started the fight were from the First Prince's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion respectively, and both of them were injured again. The soldiers and horses of the five cities were natural and muddy, and both sides played [-] big boards each.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is clearly the eldest prince deliberately making things difficult for Prince Yu's mansion!
"Zhang Ming is seriously injured, and the one who is most annoyed is the Holy One." Gu Qingzhou poured a cup of tea, without him handing it over, Prince Yu just picked up the cup and drank it down.

The Holy Majesty originally asked Zhang Ming to rest for one night, and the next day he went to Daying in the suburbs of Beijing to teach military boxing. Well, his arm was broken and his leg was broken. The Holy Majesty's anger can be imagined.
