After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 447 Beiliang Secret Letter and Palace Examination

When King Chen opened the dress, he sighed, "Who would be willing to wear this dress embroidered like this? It's not an exaggeration to say that the embroidery skills of the old Liu family are the only ones in the world, right?"

Princess Chen held the dress fondly, and felt the same feeling as the prince, "Who says it's not, anyway, I'm reluctant to wear this dress out."

Seeing that King Chen was still pulling at the hem of his skirt, Princess Chen carefully snatched the clothes out of the man's hands, folded them again, and put them away by herself.

She looked at the handkerchief of the same color again, and it turned out to be the same pattern as the dress, but the pattern was scaled down. The embroidered shoes also had red peonies embroidered on the upper, but the stamens of the peonies were covered with small rice beads. Embellishment, Princess Chen didn't know what to say.

"This child's mind is too ingenious. Look at the shoes she made. They are so delicate. Who would be willing to step on the ground?"

"Well, you received this gift, I guess it can only be treasured and treated as a family heirloom.

You said, on my king's birthday, can she give us a kang screen?Actually, I think it would be nice if my niece and daughter-in-law embroidered a set of red clothes with my picture embroidered on it, so that our clothes can also be a pair. "

Princess Chen glared at the man angrily, "My concubine has never heard of an uncle and nephew asking for a gift by name, you are the only one! Oh, if you ask for a gift, you can bring it in exchange, what are you doing?" It's not heaven!"

……

"Then, hasn't this king never seen a piece of clothing that not only has different patterns on the front and back, but can also be worn on both sides?"

"You just want to see that others have something new and you want it, so the prince will admit it. You are a person who is greedy for everything that others have but you don't have."

King Chen joked: "How is that possible? This king doesn't want other people's women! This king only needs one concubine."

Princess Chen: ...

……

Before the case of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the accused was clarified, the emperor received a secret letter from Beiliang. The emperor of Beiliang was seriously ill and took back his illegitimate son who was raised outside. be opposed to.

The eldest prince of Beiliang got the news at the border and immediately returned to the capital, but was annoyed by the emperor of Beiliang that he resisted and returned to Beijing without authorization, and directly sent him to prison.

The emperor is in a very good mood. There are not many princes in Beiliang. Those who have been taken care of by the first prince are thrown into prison. Now only this illegitimate son is left to compete with him. Although the first prince has been sent to prison, the Shi family He won't be allowed to stay in prison for too long. There must be turmoil in Beiliang, and the border is guarded by the King of War. He is not worried, thinking of his own plan...

The next day the emperor announced in the early court that the palace examination would be held on April [-]st.

If you want to take part in the palace examination, it is not enough to be on the list in the examination. You have to go through a round of re-examination. Only after passing the re-examination can you be qualified for the palace examination. There are a total of 430 candidates who participated in the re-examination this time. Only the top 100 candidates are selected for the palace examination, that is, Gongsheng.

On the morning of April [-]st, hundreds of tribute students entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After a series of procedures, the Qi University scholars took out the examination questions from the yellow case in the hall, and handed them to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to place them on the Danbi Huang case. After the emperor saluted, the Ministry of Rites distributed the question papers. After all the tributes knelt down to accept them, they sat at the test table in the hall to answer the questions.

According to the examination number issued by the Ministry of Rites, Gu Mingxi's seat is in the most conspicuous position in the hall. After seeing the question paper clearly, Gu Mingxi thought about it for a rare reason.

This question is easy to answer but not easy to answer, because the palace examination papers of all dynasties have asked similar questions, or about the emperor's government, or about the emperor's governance. He once said a sentence that is still fresh in his memory:

The first thing you need to do when solving this question is to analyze the person who asked the question, that is, the emperor on the high seat.

What kind of person is the current emperor?
Gu Mingxi recalled the life of the current emperor. After succeeding to the throne at the age of 16, he eliminated traitors, quelled civil strife, defeated Nanzhao, and conquered Daliang himself.

In addition, during the more than 20 years of the emperor's reign, there were almost no major extermination cases in the Daxing Dynasty. Most of them ransacked their families and exiled them.

At the beginning, the concubine of King Rui was surnamed Mu, but she and the Mu family were already of three clans. The Mu family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of being involved in King Rui's treason case, the emperor's order at that time was that the main criminals should only be confined, and only the accomplices should be imprisoned. Just confiscate the property and go into exile.

The Mu family also saw the emperor's benevolence, worked hard to collect evidence, and successfully rehabilitated them two years later. The emperor not only restored the reputation of the Mu family, but also returned all the Mu family's property. Up to now, some of the Mu family have been officials in the court, and the prefect of Nanzhou prefecture They are members of the Mu clan...

Of course, these are all rumors, but Gu Mingxi can feel what the emperor has done in the past two years since his family entered Beijing. The emperor attaches great importance to love, keeps promises, and is not extreme. Any criticisms, Concubine Xue is still Concubine Xue up to now, of course those people in the palace are exalting and depressing, this is not the emperor's business.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingxi immediately had an idea, picked up the ink stick and began to grind the ink. When the ink was available, he picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, and wrote on the paper with a swipe:
The minister is right: the emperor’s Linyu Yunei also requires the real government of the manager, and then can restrain the crowd, it is intricate, there must be the rule of Yongxi; there must be a solid heart of advocacy, and then it can inspire all kinds of workers and vibrate. There is a rationale for pursuing general affairs.

Li Ji Gang, Fu Fa Du, Hang Zhu Xiang Wei's Table, written in Ling Jia, first in Yanlang Chaoning, scattered in Baifu of Zhusi, and at the sea corner of the county, Jing Zhiwei, Hong Juxian, There is no lack of equipment, full and thorough, and there is no leakage.

(Meaning: I heard that when the emperor comes to rule the country in person, he must have a practical way of governing the country, and then he can restrain his subjects, manage every day, and then he can achieve prosperity and peace; Only by tempering and motivating all officials and revitalizing and reforming various affairs can a very prosperous governance be achieved.

What is a practical way to govern the country? It is to establish guidelines and promulgate laws and regulations, hang them on both sides of the palace gate, place them at the head of the decrees, hang them everywhere in the imperial palace, distribute them at all levels of government, and send them to the ends of the world. Up and down vertically and horizontally, large and small areas, all are available, everywhere is tight, and there is no omission in the slightest. )
……

Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, who possesses the talents of intelligence and wisdom, prepares the virtues of civil and military sages, holds them in the mysterious talisman of Mu, and inherits the great achievements of the country. Destiny, it can certainly be six or five emperors, four or three kings, and humble men!
