The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 186 The Emperor's Wrath

It has been more than a month since the concubine was admitted to the harem.

In this month, except for Zheng Ran, Li Chengdao visited several other concubines, and the one he visited the most was the Tingyu Palace in Huyanrena.

As for neglecting Zheng Ran... Tian Ming saw that he really didn't neglect him. He would often go to Zheng Ran's Huaqing Palace to have meals with her. After all, Huaqing Palace is the closest to Tai Chi Palace, and Zheng Ran also has good cooking skills and likes to cook food in person. Li Chengdao prepared the meal.

If sometimes it was too late for Li Chengdao to deal with political affairs, she would bring supper over, which can be said to be extremely considerate, and Li Chengdao was also very satisfied with her.

But he still never stayed overnight in Huaqing Palace. The reason was because his modern concept could not accept such a young Zheng Ran.

But Zheng Guanyin didn't understand his thoughts. In this era, it was common for people to get married and even have children at the age of 14, so she felt that Li Chengdao had neglected Zheng Ran.

This is not to be nosy, Li Chengdao is her son, and the most important thing for women in ancient times is the issue of heirs and the inheritance of the family line. Li Chengdao left Zheng Ran alone, and she, as a mother, naturally had to worry about her son.

"Chengdao, although that Xiuyi is beautiful, she is a Tubo princess after all. You can't pamper her like this. If her husband gives birth to an heir, how will you let the other concubines deal with themselves? Her heir has no chance of inheriting the throne. "

Zheng Guanyin said earnestly.

Although Li Chengdao had said before that a virtuous person is not a good person, but there is no doubt that Huyanrena's descendants will not be able to inherit the throne even if they are talented and virtuous.

Because Huyanrena was just a Tubo princess, if her heir wanted to be the emperor, the ministers would be the first to object.

Therefore, Zheng Guanyin was very worried that Mr. Hu Yanrena would give birth to an heir due to Li Chengdao's many visits.

In her opinion, it would be best to be Mr. Zheng Ran's prince, and then become the queen in one fell swoop.

"Ran'er is too young. Sexual intercourse... will hurt her body."

Li Chengdao explained awkwardly.

Hearing this, Zheng Ran didn't know where the courage came from. She grabbed Li Chengdao's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of you, I am my concubine... It is most important that you can give birth to an heir for your Majesty."

After saying this, her face turned red.

There are not many words of love in this world, but a woman's blush is better than a thousand confessions.

Looking at Zheng Ran's cute face, Li Chengdao stretched out his hand and pinched her fair nose, and said helplessly: "I understand, let's eat. The lotus seed soup will be cold later."

His words were already accepted.

Zheng Guanyin immediately felt relieved, while Zheng Ran felt quite shy, but also felt joy that could not be hidden.

……

After eating the meal in Chang'an Palace, Li Chengdao stayed at Huaqing Palace that night, finally granting Zheng Ran his wish.

It was just a pain for Li Chengdao, because he had to worry about Zheng Ran's body, so he had to move carefully and cautiously.

But even so, Zheng Ran still didn't get out of bed for several days, and couldn't serve Li Chengdao at night. For this, she apologized to Li Chengdao with tears in her eyes, feeling very guilty.

And what can Li Chengdao say?She could only comfort her and let the maids take good care of Zheng Ran.

……

Five days passed quickly. With the anticipation of countless scholars, the list of candidates for the general examination finally came out.
Early in the morning when the results came out, many candidates gathered outside Gongyuan, waiting for the announcement of the test results.

Countless candidates were extremely nervous, especially those from poor families. They were extremely nervous and at the same time vaguely looking forward to it.

Because the list announced today is the result of ten years of hard study!
Among the crowd watching the results, Le Xu and Wang Xuelin were also prominently listed.

In fact, what Wang Xuelin didn't expect was that Le Xu pulled him out of bed early in the morning and rushed over to wait for the results.

"Why is there any need to see it? Hongyuan, you must be on the list. Just wait for the messenger to come to the post house to find you." Wang Xuelin said sleepily.

"I must witness with my own eyes the moment I am on the list!"

Lexu said with a firm tone with unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

When Wang Xuelin heard this, he had to wait with him.

After waiting for almost half an hour, a group of shadow guards armed with swords came outside the Gongyuan and posted the list.

All the scholars suppressed their nervousness and began to look for their names on the list.

Le Xu's palms were filled with sweat, and he stared at the list, scanning back and forth on it, searching for his name.

He saw Wang Xuelin's name on it, but no matter how he looked for it, his name was nowhere to be found in either the Ming Jing Ke list or the Jin Shi Ke list!
"I...failed."

Le Xu only felt that his mind went blank, all the sounds around him were fading away, and the energy in his body seemed to disappear with it.

Ten years of studying hard in a cold window have all come to naught!

He put his best foot forward to take the exam, and he was fully confident that he would pass the exam, but he still failed!
"Impossible! I'm on the list, how could you not be on the list? It must have been filled in!"

Wang Xuelin was even more anxious than Le Xu, staring intently at the list, trying to find Le Xu's name on it.

Le Xu looked at the names on the list with a dull gaze, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Those names...are all children of aristocratic families.

"I see. Is the so-called fairness just a lie?"

Le Xu laughed at himself and turned to leave.

……

As soon as the examination results came out, countless students who failed the examination cried loudly outside the Gongyuan, while some students who passed the examination cheered!
Only they can understand their sadness and joy!

There were over a thousand candidates for this examination, but only 71 were on the list!
What is even more unbelievable is that of the 71 scholars on the list, 63 of them are descendants of aristocratic families, and only eight are descendants of poor families!

What's more important is that all the children from poor families on the list are from the Ming Jing Department, and no one from the Jinshi Department is on the list.

This result made countless scholars from poor families find it unbelievable and even doubted themselves.

The name-blinding system has been adopted, but the children from poor families are still on the list, Miao Miao. Are they really inferior to the children from aristocratic families?

So what's the point of studying hard for ten years?
Countless scholars were devastated by this, and overnight there were countless frustrated and drunken scholars in the brothels of the major wine houses in Chang'an.

On the other hand, after the results of the general examination came out, they were sent to the palace as soon as possible.

……

The atmosphere in the palace and royal study was cold and stiff.

Jia Xu, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others knelt on the ground and remained silent.

Li Chengdao looked at the list of candidates for the examination in his hand, his expression extremely gloomy.

He threw the list directly at Jia Xu's feet and said coldly: "I want an explanation for this matter!"

"An explanation for all the scholars in the world!"
