The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 627 Dark Tide
[Mao didn't find out, so let me not stay up late, eat lightly, and avoid strenuous exercise for the time being...]

Jiao Shun could naturally see that Jia Lian's words were insincere.

After all, no matter how the jug of wine is judged, it is still a long way from a 'fine wine', and the bottle is less than half full, obviously it has been drunk.

But Jiao Shun didn't mean to expose Jia Lian. After all, if it really counts, the second master Lian can be regarded as his fellow son, nephew, younger brother, and uncle. With such a close relationship, as long as the other party doesn't tear his face openly , He naturally has no reason to hold on to it.

So he treasured the "good wine" he sent, and then ordered someone to set out the good wine and food again, instead of drinking it.

When Jia Lian was so drunk, he even sent him back to the Dongkua courtyard in person.

A quarter of an hour later.

"What can I do?!"

Jia Lian was sleeping soundly in the house, and in the shadows outside the window, Xing's pear blossoms lay in Jiao Shun's arms with rain, crying and complaining: "Brother Lian keeps pushing each other hard, and girl Feng also excuses that she wants to deal with family affairs and sit on the sidelines." ——The two of them said they had a falling out, but after all, they are a husband and wife, if they join hands, how can I have a foothold in this family?"

Then, weeping again and wiping away tears, he said, "If I have a son and a half by my side, why would I make such a bad move?"

"Shh, be quiet!"

Jiao Shun heard her bring up the old story again, first made a silent gesture, then pushed his hands openly and said: "Who would have expected Jia She to die so suddenly? By the way, how did he die? To him, his daughter is just a commodity, so how could he be overjoyed because of it?"

"This……"

Recalling the scene at that time, Mrs. Xing couldn't help showing a look of fear on her face, and hurriedly said perfunctorily, "Who said he wasn't happy? At that time, he was full of ambition and wanted to sell the goods to two companies. He seemed to be happy."

Jiao Shun: "..."

Well, it really is worthy of Jia Enhou!
Before he could ask again, Xing changed the subject resentfully: "Men really have no conscience. I haven't seen you for several months. You didn't ask me if I was okay, but you asked about that dead ghost first."

Jiao Shun raised his eyebrows, and asked softly, "How have you been doing recently?"

I just blocked Wang Xifeng's mouth at Xue's house last time, and I didn't want to suffer "retribution" today.

The book dare not repeat.

But when it was midnight, Jia Lian suddenly turned over and sat up, and first yelled for the maid to fetch the spittoon, and waited for the maid to enter the door in a panic with her clothes on, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he just pushed the maid and rushed out, stumbled into the door Under the outer window, stand on the steps and blow your throat against the shadows.

The servant girl arrived afterward, raised her hand and patted Jia Lian's back, and at the same time brought the candle in front of him to light it up. From the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently glanced at the ground, but saw that some filth had already been deposited there.

Before she could see it clearly, Jia Lian spewed out countless sour and smelly things with a 'wow', and immediately covered the old things, making it impossible to distinguish them.

The next morning.

Jiao and his wife visited the old lady and Jia Zheng, and after repeatedly persuading Jia Baoyu to no avail, he had no choice but to go to the engineering school alone in anger.

However, within a few days, he followed Jia Baoyu's example and stayed home.

…………

A few days later.

I don't know whether it's luck or sorrow, but the unethical incident in Rongguo Mansion didn't cause the slightest disturbance in the outside world, so the government and the opposition all focused their attention on the results of the palace examination.

Especially those speech officials who have been defeated and fought repeatedly, all of them are gearing up, just waiting for the ranking in the palace examination to be the battle horse.

But because the Taishanghuang's actions were too slow, in fact, the screened examination papers were not sent to the Qianqing Palace until April [-]th.

Emperor Longyuan, who had already been anxious and impatient, roughly flipped through a few copies with the help of the queen, and couldn't help but sneer—obviously, even if the most radical group was omitted, there were still many " Bad advice'.

Putting down the examination paper in his hand, Emperor Longyuan subconsciously asked, "When will Jiao Changqing enter the palace to give lectures?"

Hearing the word 'Jiao Changqing', the empress's gentle and dignified face obviously flashed a little uncomfortable, obviously recalling the two secret books sealed in her bedroom.

Dai Quan hurriedly bowed to report: "Your Majesty forgot, Mr. Jiao took sick leave a few days ago. Although he is now able to join the yamen as a director, he is afraid of bringing the remaining sickness into the palace, so he postponed his entry until the end of the month. Lecture."

Only now did Emperor Longyuan remember this matter, and he sighed helplessly. Originally, he wanted to ask Jiao Shun to review these examination papers together, so as to find some usable talents from them.

However, the emperor didn't know that the reason why Jiao Shun reported illness in advance was to avoid this catastrophe.

The title of the gold list is one of the most important honors for scholars. The emperor's high-ranking comments are nothing more than a few words, so how can he be allowed to make irresponsible remarks by a lucky minister like him-although he is already in the same situation as the civil servants, he is not in a hurry. The idea of ​​being a target.

But the emperor asked him to criticize him face to face, and Jiao Shun couldn't back down clearly, so he deliberately calculated the time to call in advance, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so procrastinated that the sick leave exceeded the deadline, so he had to take "sickness" again talk about things.

Knowing that Jiao Shun could not enter the palace for a short period of time, the emperor's interest obviously weakened a lot, he flipped through the two copies a little annoyed, and suddenly thought of something, so he ordered: "Order someone to call Yao'er here."

Dai Quan respectfully agreed, and stepped back out of the curtain.

The queen vaguely guessed the emperor's thoughts, and seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help persuading: "Brother Yao is still young, how can he understand these profound principles?"

"Why don't I know?"

Emperor Longyuan sighed, and said helplessly: "But my illness is so serious, how long can I support him?"

As he spoke, he picked up another test paper and flipped through it, but he didn't think about it at all.

In fact, he was restless today, not just because of these test papers, let alone because no one helped to judge, but because of the various actions of the Supreme Emperor before and after the palace test.

Although Emperor Longyuan also knew that once he died young, the Supreme Emperor would definitely come to the court as regent to protect his young grandson.

Even he thought it the most reasonable and proper course of action.

But that should have happened after he took control of Bintian. Now that he is still alive, how can he just sit back and watch the imperial power just fall by the wayside?

Therefore, he looked at the exam papers, but in fact, he was full of thoughts on how to regain power as soon as possible. He wanted to find Jiao Shun earlier, but he also wanted to ask his confidants.

The words are divided into two parts.

On the other side, Prince Yao was summoned and hurriedly dressed up and rushed to Qianqing Palace, but he ran into King Zhongshun on the way.

Prince Yao hurriedly bowed to salute, respecting his uncle.

King Zhongshun hastily raised his hand to help him, his words were almost cordial and warm, but he was always far away from Prince Yao, never even half a step closer.

After saying goodbye to each other, King Zhongshun went straight to the Supreme Emperor's Renshou Palace, smiling and not squinting along the way, but in fact it was like a glow on his back and a thorn in his throat.

Since the emperor had suffered a hemiplegia, the name of the Supreme Emperor relied heavily on him, but in fact he meant to watch over him, so he didn't dare to have any physical contact with Prince Yao just now, and after parting with Prince Yao, he always felt as if someone was in the dark Examining himself, he was so scared that he didn't dare to show any abnormalities.

but……

From what I saw just now, Prince Yao's figure seems a little thin.

The palace has always been cloudy, and countless princes have died in the past dynasties.

If it's just the emperor's illness, he will naturally not be able to take the position of his own children and grandchildren, but what if the crown prince also has an accident?
Although he tried his best to control his emotions, King Zhongshun's breath gradually became thicker, and some dark thoughts grew and spread like weeds.
