lied to Kangxi

Chapter 122 The Palace Exam Begins

Guerjia Qinglin also knew that as long as the palace did not make a clear statement, the matter of Yuzhu and the two wives would not be finalized.

Yu Zhu is now called Er Nie, somewhat guilty, why not wait for the decree to come down, and then call Er Nie legitimately.

Although Qing Lin is an elder, she is only 20 years old.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yuzhu chatted with him for a few words, then got up and resigned.

Qingtai's mansion, Yuzhu has long been familiar, he went straight to Qingtai's inner study.

Just as Yuzhu was sitting firmly, the head housekeeper Zhao Shan moved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the melons, fruits and refreshments were served.

"Master, I know that you like to drink Biluochun from the palace, but you don't know how to brew it, right?" Zhao Shan carefully looked at the jade pillar, fearing that he would flatter the horse's hoof.

Yu Zhu took a sip of tea, um, the tea soup was green and pure, the tea soup lingered sweetly, and it was better than his own brewing, obviously it took a lot of thought.

"That's right, Wu Jiang, let's have a look."

"Hey." Wu Jiang took out two five taels of small ingots from his bosom, and stuffed them into Zhao Shan's hands.

"Master, it's the duty of a slave to serve you well, how can you ask for a reward?" Zhao Shan really didn't dare to take Yuzhu's money indiscriminately.

"Little master told you to take it, so just take it, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qingtai's voice suddenly came from the door.

Yuzhu got up quickly, saluted Qian, and called out respectfully: "Ama, are you back?"

Qingtai smiled triumphantly and said, "Come on, between you and my father and son, how can there be so many vulgar etiquette?"

If not, since Qingtai and Longkodo are brothers and have a close relationship, how could it be Qingtai's turn for such a good son?
After Qingtai sat down, Yuzhu didn't say anything, took the tea brought by the little girl with his own hands, and held it to Qingtai's hand with both hands.

"Ama, please have some tea."

Qingtai was extremely satisfied, took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "You know everything?"

"Yes, Uncle E came to the ancestral house to help out that day, and it was Ama who promised him great favors."

"Well, it's right if you don't say thank you, I don't like to hear those nonsense." Qingtai looked at Yu Zhu with admiration, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what else do you want to do for your father?"

A family doesn't speak two languages, if they do, they are born!

Yuzhu narrated Zhou Kuang's story in full without adding fuel or jealousy.

After Qingtai heard this, he suddenly sighed, and said: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant. The Ministry of Officials suddenly wants to change the staff. In fact, it is to investigate him."

"You haven't become an official yet, so I don't know that Zhou Kuang is actually under the prince's sect." As soon as Qingtai said this, Yu Zhu secretly applauded Xuan.

"Over the years, Zhou Kuang has secretly mobilized a lot of people for the prince, and put them in various key positions. Alas, the hand is too long, how can I tolerate it today?" Qingtai looked at the jade pillar, relieved He said, "The person you sent to look for me didn't know what to ask. It's so good, it's so good. You should know that if you are in the court, if you are not careful, your whole family will fall into the abyss."

Yuzhu understood, this meant that Suo'etu and his sons were all dead.

"Zhu'er, listen carefully, you must not meddle in the prince's affairs. Otherwise, let alone me and third brother, even if our entire family gets involved, it will be a dead end." Qingtai was unusual. Serious warning Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu got up quickly, bowed and said, "I dare not disobey my father's order!"

"Well, back then, your Ama was favored by the present, and it was actually closely related to your mother." Qingtai said vaguely, and there was a flash of lightning and thunder in Yuzhu's mind

It turned out to be the case.

Good guy, if Qingtai hadn't confessed, Yuzhu wouldn't have thought that Longkodo snatched Li Si'er from Hesheli's house, but he did it on purpose for Kangxi to see.

I, Longkodo, and the prince and Suo'etu are not in the same way.Your majesty, don't worry!
However, after Long Kedo robbed Li Si'er, the development of the matter showed an astonishing change that made people laugh and cry.

Li Si'er, who was originally just a prop, has become Longkodo's darling. He has been in love for more than ten years, and so far there is no sign of fading.

In the past, Longkodo doted on Yuzhu because he loved Li Si'er deeply.

Now, even if Longkodo dislikes Li Si'er's old age and fading, he still has to think carefully about whether Yuzhu, a rising political star, will be separated from him?

After a woman's lust has faded, if she has no children and loves her, most of the endings will not be very happy!

Love has turned into family affection, and the harmony of the family is maintained entirely by the blood of the children. In fact, it is a common situation in high-ranking officials' families!

After Qingtai handed over the truth, it was naturally impossible for Yuzhu to leak the truth to Zhou Kuang.

Those who want to do it today, whoever dares to intervene in the middle, is going to die with their brains flooded.

After all, Zhou Quan was only in the same year as the provincial examination, and it was just a matter of saving face.

If it was Sun Chengyun, Yu Zhu would definitely come up with a way to avoid disaster for him.

Two days before the imperial examination, Zhou Kuang finally had an accident.

The person responsible for secretly investigating Zhou Kuang is none other than the elder brother Yinti.

The elder brother Yinti was not polite to the prince at all. After finding out what Zhou Kuang had secretly done for the prince, he immediately reported it to Kangxi.

After Kangxi looked at the shocking list, he was furious, and immediately issued an order to arrest Zhou Kuang and put him in prison, and hand him over to the Ministry for strict interrogation.

Zhou Quan was inevitably implicated, all his fame was cut off, and his family was exiled in Ninggu Tower.

It was impossible for Yuzhu to send him off publicly, so he could only ask Long Kedo to write a secret letter to Ningguta's old subordinates to help take care of Zhou Quan's big family.

On the day of the palace examination, Yu Zhu had just had breakfast and was planning to bid farewell to his parents.

According to the porter's report, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother all arrived at the gate in about one order.

"Hey, my son is really good!" Long Kedo stroked his beard and laughed triumphantly.

No matter how arrogant Longkodo was, he didn't dare to let the four princes wait outside the gate for a long time. He led the jade pillar and walked out quickly.

After seeing the ceremony, the fourth child looked at the three brothers with extremely complicated emotions.

Obviously, except for the fourth child, everyone is thinking about Yuzhu.

Since when did this Yu Xiaoer become a sweet potato that everyone is vying for?
Fourth child, I can't figure it out!

The fifth elder brother has no ambitions, he just brought his son to send Anda to the exam.

"When you come back from the exam, it's more beautiful than the number one scholar." The words of the fifth elder brother immediately made Yu Zhu laugh.

Yuzhu said with a smile: "Anda, even if he came from the same Jinshi, it doesn't matter."

Hongzhang said in a childish voice, "Congratulations to my benefactor, who was born as a Jinshi in high school."

Well, everyone knows whether it is full of yuan or not, and whether it is full of Sanding Jia's will.

The seventh elder brother, like the fifth elder brother, is also a guy without ambitions.

He raised his hand and patted Yuzhu's shoulder, and said gratefully: "Hongshu's studies can make a lot of progress, so you don't have to worry about it."

He is more gratified that the child's academic success is better than sending the seventh elder brother tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Interestingly, the fourth, fifth and seventh sons all have sons who worship under Yu Zhu's sect as disciples.

Brother Twelve was a little embarrassed. His eldest son died in the year he was born, and he has only one daughter under his knees.

"When my son is born, I will let him worship you as a teacher in the future." The old twelve was not an easy-going lamp, and quickly found a good way to cover up his embarrassment.

Long Kedo was watching from the sidelines, his good son was surrounded by the princes and grandchildren, as if the stars were holding the moon.

I know my own affairs.

Longkodo himself is the lurking fourth master party, and Yuzhu is very friendly with the fifth, seventh, and twelve. Alas, not only is the backstage thieves tough, but also, it doesn't hinder Jinshang's eyes at all!

"Is it time to leave?" After all, Longkodo knew Kangxi's temper very well. The four elder brothers were all outside the gate of Longfu. If they stayed too long, they would inevitably cause trouble.

The elder brothers are also people in the power field, so they all know Kangxi's taboos.

Soon, several elder brothers greeted Yu Zhu respectively, boarded the car and left.

"My good son, there are many eyes and ears outside the Donghua Gate, so I won't send you there." Longkodo's arrogance is also methodical, and he has always been bullying.

That is to say, when entering the palace to meet you, Longkodo would never dare to put on a big show, it would be too eye-catching to the emperor.

There are a total of 250 Enkegong scholars this time.

Since the imperial court began to recruit scholars, the number of tribute scholars has been recruited according to a certain ratio based on the number of candidates.

Objectively speaking, the brutal competition of the national examination is far less fierce than that of the rural examination.

Gold Juren, Silver Scholars are not empty words!
In the freezing weather, Yu Zhu wrapped his body in a sable cloak because no body search was allowed in the palace examination.In each of his two hands, he carried a large examination basket, besides the four treasures of the study, it mainly consisted of a copper stove for warming hands and enough silver frost charcoal.

There is no way, the examination is held in the open air in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the severe cold makes the hands trembling so that I can't hold the pen, which is the enemy of the examination.

During breakfast, Yuzhu swallowed a few custard buns dryly, and didn't dare to drink a sip of water.

No way, the devil is always hidden in the details.

According to Tang Bing, the unsatisfactory rankings in the palace examination are often due to problems with anti-freeze measures, resulting in abnormal performance.

As for holding back feces and holding back urine, in fact, it is the basic skills of Beijing officials.

I can't, the performance is just right, you suddenly told the emperor that the minister is going to sit in the official room, right?
The important ministers who often participate in the small court meeting or the palace performance of the Qing Dynasty, no one dares to drink more water and gruel for breakfast.

The emperor summoned the ministers to discuss matters, who knows how long it will be delayed?
Junqian seriously misbehaved, and was impeached and resigned by the imperial speech officer, that was his own death, no wonder anyone.

When Yuzhu arrived, the Donghua Gate had not yet opened, and many people had already gathered in front of the gate.

Because of not being deposed, everyone's mentality is also very relaxed.

To be honest, as long as the background is strong, there is not much difference between being a Jinshi and being a Jinshi.
