After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the monarch and his ministers.

The golden light is mixed with the glow of a few red suns.

It was obviously a warm and somewhat ambiguous tone, but it couldn't hide the glacier-like atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers.

"I don't mean anything like that..." Sensing the chill in Ye Qinghuai's eyes, Lu Yanchen immediately panicked and replied with lowered head.

But Ye Qinghuai interrupted him: "Sir, you have taught me how to play chess. When you are at a disadvantage, you have no pieces to abandon, and you have no pieces to use. But when you are in an advantage, you have nothing to fight for, and no pieces to protect."

"I want to rejuvenate my dynasty. In order to achieve this goal, I can do anything and sacrifice anyone, including myself."

A look of shock flashed in Lu Yanchen's eyes, and he was about to speak out, but Ye Qinghuai continued: "However, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not sacrifice the people around me. Even if there is only [-]% hope, I will fight for it. Be it Qin Baozhu or Lin Yuxiu, in my heart, they are never pawns, but comrades-in-arms."

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen's eyes with a complicated look of sadness: "Sir, anyone in this world can question me or disbelieve me, and I don't care. Only you, sir, you can't disbelieve me."

Her words were strong, but her expression was a little sad.

Lu Yanchen's heart tightened, as if he had been stabbed by something.

"Your Majesty definitely does not mean that. Your Majesty is tolerant and benevolent, and I know this best." Lu Yanchen said hastily, "I have no intention of mentioning Lin Yuxiu, it's just that he..."

Lu Yanchen frowned, finally sighed, and said: "Your Majesty has not had much contact with him, and he doesn't know much about him. He is straightforward, and I am afraid that he will offend His Majesty in the future, so I said this more."

Ye Qinghuai was a little surprised by his answer.

Lu Yanchen had always been reticent, and he would not take the initiative to speak up if she didn't ask her. Today's behavior was abnormal.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai's puzzled expression, Lu Yanchen didn't explain further, and said: "It's my minister who has said too much, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After speaking, he bowed.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him silently, and said: "I promise you, no matter when, I will remember the original intention of reusing him today."

She lowered her eyes, seeming to remember something, and said, "It's not easy to be true to one's heart. I will always remember my teacher's teachings."
-
On the first day of May, Chunwei released the list.

Ye Qinghuai's left arm, which had been hanging for a month and a half, finally took off the bandage and let it go.

Today she deliberately took a break from the morning court, and passed the roll call in the Hall of Supreme Harmony early in the morning, hand-picking the first, second and third best in the Chunwei list.

After the list parade, 120 Jinshi kowtowed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to thank the emperor.

It was not until the afternoon that the whole process was completed.

According to the usual practice, the Jinshi nominated on the list will entertain guests and friends at home or in restaurants that night, and thank their masters the next day, and they will go back and forth for a few days.

Not to mention the number one scholar.

But Lin Yuxiu failed to hold a banquet that night.

Because he was called into the palace by the emperor.

"Lin Qing, ever since I read your policy theory, I have been wanting to summon you. It's a pity that you are still in the scientific examination, so I don't want to see you." As soon as Zhuangyuan Lang met Li, Ye Qinghuai immediately entered the topic.

In front of the table in front of her, she unfolded the article submitted by Lin Yuxiu in the imperial examination, pointed to the opposite seat and said to him: "Sit down. The three points you mentioned in the policy theory: solid state foundation, Zhen Jigang, and inspection of officials .I have a few questions I want to discuss with you."

Lin Yuxiu was a little surprised.This was the first time he was alone with the emperor, and he was a little apprehensive before his face-to-face today.

The last time I met the emperor was at the palace examination in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Before the palace examination, Lu Yanchen made a special trip to find him, and he hoped that he would be more restrained in the performance of the palace examination, and not show his sharpness like he did in the palace examination.

Lin Yuxiu understood that Lu Yanchen's advice was not only for him, but also for the emperor.

He didn't want to embarrass the emperor.

Lin Yuxiu understood his good intentions and felt that what he said was reasonable.

Therefore, before the imperial examination, Lin Yuxiu actually prepared some moderate words to deal with the emperor's question.

But when he stepped into the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and looked up to see the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, the figure in the yellow robe sitting upright seemed to be fighting with the black robe outside the Chengtian gate with a sword The figures overlapped.

There was a burning flame and a firm will in those black eyes.

Every time he saw Ye Qinghuai's eyes, Lin Yuxiu's heart would warm up.

So much so that in an instant, he forgot all the remarks he had prepared before going to the palace.

He seemed to have turned back into the young man who played the Dengwen drum in front of Chengtianmen with Bai as an official under heaven.

He is not a Gongsheng with a bright future in the imperial examination high school, nor is he a master with half a foot in the officialdom.

He stepped into the examination room to enter the official career, but he did not enter the official career to sing praises for this magnificent temple.He is here to speak out for the many bones under the ground.

He believed in the young emperor who was still childish in front of him.

He believed that Xindi was different.He believes that the new emperor will not ignore the suffering of the people, and also believes in his will and determination.

That being the case, if the emperor needs a knife, he is willing to be the knife in his hand.

Therefore, he made that staggering policy in public in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

He knew that he had a problem for the emperor.

But he knows better that such difficulties are just the beginning for what he wants to do in the future.

The emperor didn't make a decision immediately, but asked him to submit an article, so he let him go back.

Lin Yuxiu felt a chill in his heart.

He had some doubts that he had made a wrong bet.The emperor may not be what he thought.

Lin Yuxiu was even ready to go to prison while waiting for the results to be released in the academy.

However, he waited for the honor of the champion of the red-robed horse.

The moment Lin Yuxiu saw the list, his eyes were filled with emotion.

He knew what the court situation looked like, and he also knew how unfavorable his background was.So he also knew how much pressure the emperor had to bear to appoint him the number one scholar.

Lin Yuxiu has a feeling of "keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight".

Han Chuang has studied hard for ten years. He thought that in this dark world, all his knowledge would be useless, and he could only watch the country collapse.

But God gave Dajing a new emperor named Ye Qinghuai at this time.

This little-known fourth prince rekindled the flame of hope that had long been extinguished in Lin Yuxiu's eyes.

To Lin Yuxiu's surprise, Ye Qinghuai met him alone for the first time, and neither asked him about the Chengtianmen, nor asked about his family background, nor even a common courtesy, and wanted to argue with him when he came up.

This is already regarded him as one of his own.

The number one scholar in red robe looked at the emperor's concentrating profile while looking at the policy theory. After a long time, he lifted his robe and knelt down, saying: "My humble minister Lin Yuxiu, thank you for your kindness, and I am willing to lead the horse and stirrup for your majesty, and serve you until death." about."

After speaking, he kowtowed to the ground.

I wish you all a Happy New Year! ! !
