Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 78: The re-examination in the palace will set a storm!Admired by thousands of people! (Please vote for me)
Because he was assassinated, the emperor should not move forward no matter from which perspective.

Therefore, the Queen Mother's coffin continued to the Dongling Tomb, where it was escorted by Prince Hui Mianyu and the clan leader Duanhua, who completed the following etiquette on behalf of the emperor.

And the emperor returned to Luan with his army.

Of course, the unconscious Su Yi was also taken away with him.

There were four imperial doctors taking care of him all the time.

......................................................

After sending Su Yi home, the family members were worried and grieved, so there was no need to say anything.

These four imperial doctors were temporarily living in Su Yi's home.

When will he recover and when will these four doctors return to the palace?

And after returning to the palace, the emperor received another good news.

Although Princess Shou'an was shot by a poisonous arrow, luckily she was not hit in the kidney, so she has been rescued and her life should not be in danger.

After waking up, Princess Shou'an saw the emperor for the first time and took the initiative to defend Su Yi.

"Your Majesty, Su Yi tried his best to save me. He led me in and out of several hundred gangsters and suffered serious injuries. He was not afraid of death. I was injured because I was unlucky. Don't blame him."

The emperor suddenly felt even more guilty.

After hesitating for a moment, he did not tell Princess Shou'an about the assassination.

Because she is not in a very good condition right now, we cannot let her mood fluctuate too much.

So, the emperor said: "I will not blame him, I will only reward him."

Next, the emperor asked in detail what happened to Princess Shou'an.

Princess Shouan told her in detail.

"In other words, there was only one Su Yi at that time, so he rushed to save you. He thought the maid was you, but still tried his best to save her?" the emperor asked.

Princess Shou'an said: "Yes, riding alone!"

Su Yi didn't even mention this point in his report.

Therefore, the emperor instinctively felt that Su Yi was attacking with a group of cavalrymen from the Beida Camp.

I didn’t think of riding alone.

This...how brave is this?
How loyal?

What wisdom?

At the critical moment, he overturned the carriage full of gold and silver, preventing the rebels from pursuing him.

"Your Majesty, their target is not me, but they want to harm you through me. Are you in danger along the way?" Princess Shou'an asked quickly.

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, when I heard that you were in danger, I...I came back immediately."

Princess Shou'an said: "It's good to return to Luan, it's good to return to Luan, but filial piety doesn't matter at all."

She is the emperor's half-sister, and she is several years older, so while being respectful, she can't help but have the tone of an eldest sister.

Xianfeng especially enjoys this.

This is the person he is closest to.

Princess Shou'an said: "I heard from him that he is also from our clan?"

The emperor said: "Yes."

Princess Shou'an said: "Our clan has not produced such a young brave general for many years, the real Manchu Batulu. Most of the clan is unsatisfactory, so we have to make good use of this person. Zhao Zilong was no more than that back then."

The emperor said: "Fourth sister, he is not a young brave general, nor is he Zhao Zilong?"

Princess Shou'an said: "Then you have never seen him fighting against these rebels. He was really in and out several times. He was so brave. Who else could he be if he wasn't Zhao Zilong?"

The emperor said: "He is No. 1 in the Martial Arts Provincial Examination."

Princess Shou'an was surprised and said: "Really?"

The emperor said: "He is still No. 1 in this provincial examination."

Suddenly, Princess Shou'an couldn't believe it.

No. 1 in the literary examination?
Martial Arts No. 1?
This... I have never heard of this in this dynasty.

It didn't even appear in the previous dynasty.

Do we actually have such talents in our clan?
Moreover, she didn't even know that she could rely on martial arts and civil examinations at the same time.

Having said this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It's a pity, I still feel a little regretful,

There are still too many people who doubt that Su Yi ranked first in the provincial literary examination.

Not only were countless scholars suspicious, but also the civil and military officials in the court were suspicious.

As long as these people have doubts, it would be unjustifiable for Su Yi to appear to be number one in literary examinations.

This civil and military star is not justified.

However, there is a golden saying.

Since the emperor has said so, Su Yi does not need to take the court re-examination.

That means you don’t have to participate.

No matter how much anyone impeaches him or how much he tries to persuade him, he will never change his mind.

unless……

But in his heart, he really felt a little regretful.

It would be perfect if Su Yi could really re-examine in the court and prove himself thoroughly.

This can also remove the knot in his heart as an emperor.

Princess Shou'an said: "By the way, is this Su Yi married?"

The emperor said: "Not yet married."

Princess Shou'an said: "That's...very good."

The emperor smiled and said: "It's quite good."

Then, Princess Shou'an thought of her personal maid, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

She is her caring and most loyal maid.

As a result, he died tragically under the arrows of the rebels.

Then, the emperor comforted him: "Fourth sister, you have just woken up. You should not be too exhausted and just have a good rest. I will reward your maid's family. If there are fathers and brothers, I will give them a job and reward them with money."

Princess Shou'an said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "Fourth sister finally returned to Beijing this time, so she will stay at home for a while."

Princess Shou'an said: "I really want it. Even when I was in Mongolia, I dreamed about my home."

................................................

The emperor returned to Sanxitang.

Where Fu Qi, the first-class guard, was kneeling, he was also covered in scars.

"Who are you showing this injury to?" the emperor said coldly.

Fu Qi kowtowed: "I am guilty."

The emperor stepped forward and kicked him hard.

"Incompetent, incompetent, incompetent..." The emperor said angrily: "Hundreds of rebels dared to kill less than thirty miles away from the capital. They dared to rob and kill the princess's chariot. How many people did you bring to take Shou'an? Princess? A hundred people, right? In the end, I lost completely and came back naked."

"That is to say, Princess Shou'an is fine. If something happens to her, your life will be spared."

Fu Qi kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, but Brother Su Yi has merit. The princess can be rescued entirely because of his merit."

The emperor said: "You have to say it, you have to say it, you have to be grateful to Su Yi. If it weren't for him, you would be dead. Tell me, what happened at that time?"

Fu Qidao: "At that time, the people brought by the slave were scattered, and the princess had been separated from the team. The maid wore the princess's clothes and diverted the enemy away for the princess, so the slave left alone and went to the Beida camp to bring reinforcements. And At that time, Brother Su Yi had just finished the internal martial arts examination. I immediately asked him for help and gave him the general direction. His expression changed, he immediately put back his bow and arrows, picked up his knife, and without any hesitation, he rode out alone. ”

"My original intention at that time was to ask Brother Su Yi to wait for me while I went to move the reinforcements, and then we would go rescue the princess together."

"But he really rushed out alone."

"This slave didn't think anything of this scene because of the emergency at the time. Looking back now, I still feel numb in my heart."

"There were two hundred horse thieves in front of us, but he still rushed out fiercely alone."

"Compared to this, the slave is far behind Brother Su Yi."

The emperor was originally very angry with Fu Qi.

But now, this anger has gradually dissipated.

After all, Fu Qi is one of his own, so there is no problem with his loyalty and his character.

Like Lianshun, when something goes wrong, the first thing they think about is to blame.

I don’t even think about it, is this something he can get rid of?
The emperor said: "Okay, let's talk about the embarrassing battle you fought later."

Fu Qi kowtowed again and said: "I am incompetent. I led more than 1000 cavalry to surround and kill [-] rebels. As a result, I suffered [-] casualties and allowed half of the rebels to escape."

Suddenly, the emperor was trembling with anger again.

Shame!
What a shame.

There are more than 1000 people, and there are 80 people at home.

Beat it like this.

How else can I go to see my ancestors? Is my Eight Banners really in such a bad state?

But the emperor was still a little relieved. The battle was so embarrassing, but Fu Qi still told the truth honestly.

There was no false reporting of military intelligence, and no false reporting of military exploits.

For a moment, the emperor felt extremely tired.

What should we do with such an Eight Banners army?What to do?

Now there are only two armies in the whole world.

Senggelinqin's Horqin cavalry.

Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army.

A Mongolian and a Han Chinese.

The two armies that could fight were not full of men.

How can this be good?
If this continues, how can the world remain stable?

How could the Eight Banners, who were unparalleled in cavalry and shooting, and invincible in bravery, be reduced to this?
..................................................................

"Su Yi's court re-examination has been cancelled?"

"What are you doing?"

"He saved the emperor, blocked the emperor's gun, and his life or death was uncertain?"

"I'm afraid it's not a trick. Maybe he arranged this assassination."

In Duhan's mansion, several people slapped the case and yelled.

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say." Du Han said: "I believe that Su Yi is capable of this trick. But if you say that he arranged this assassination, I absolutely don't believe it."

This is true. Although Su Yi's family is rich, the two or three hundred yuan is nothing.

If you can plan to assassinate the emperor and stage a bitter plot.

Isn’t that going to turn the world upside down?

"But the more this happens, the more it proves that there is something wrong. Su Yi must have cheated in the provincial examination."

Du Han nodded and said: "Yes, don't look at how shocking or reasonable the process is, just look at the results. Su Yi rescues the emperor, that is the process, he no longer needs to participate in the re-examination in public, this is the result."

"So, there is probably something really wrong with Su Yi's provincial literary examination, and there is really fraud."

I have to say that Du Han reveals his true nature.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let Su Yi escape like this?"

"We will report to the Emperor to expose this matter and ask the Emperor to take back his order."

"Let's write it down and analyze the stakes for the Emperor."

Du Han said: "I won't accept this discount, and I advise you not to accept this discount. Now that Su Yi's holy love is strong, whoever accepts this discount will be unlucky."

"Then what should we do? Should we just let him take away the title of this civil and military star?"

"That's too easy for him! This is a political enemy. We can't just watch him grow up."

Du Han said: "He just saved the emperor and blocked the emperor's bullet. At this time, no one should fight for this holy family, and no one should go to give Su Yi eye drops in front of the emperor. This will be counterproductive."

"But this kind of emotion will gradually fade after a few months, or at most a year and a half. At that time, the emperor will think about whether Su Yi took the opportunity to escape the court re-examination. About Su Yi We had doubts about the Provincial Civil and Examination Examination, but didn’t the Emperor have doubts? He also had doubts, but he was overcome by emotions at this time."

"So this grudge will always be in the emperor's heart. It's like a thorn in the flesh. Although it's small, it won't break out immediately."

"As long as there is this knot, it is impossible for two people to be truly intimate."

"The Emperor's trust is difficult to gain, but very easy to lose."

Hearing Du Han's words, others nodded and said: "That's true. Even if he is in the limelight, he still has to do things step by step. He is still very different from us. Moreover, he does not form a clique and fights alone. What’s the use of the emperor doting on him anymore?”

Du Han said: "But we can't do nothing. We can't make a fuss in front of the emperor, but outside, among the candidates and scholars, we can make a big fuss."

"It is said that in order to avoid the re-examination in the imperial court, Su Yi staged a cruel trick to save him. He is a traitor but seems to be loyal. This further proves that he cheated in the civil examination."

"Yes, ruin his reputation!"

"It's just to make people in the world think that the No. 1 in civil and military examinations and the double star in civil and military examinations are all fake and come from fraud."

"Otherwise, why wouldn't he dare to take the court re-examination?"

Du Han said: "In fact, in a sense, this court re-examination is Su Yi's only chance to prove himself. Once lost, it will never come again. In the future, he will never be able to clear away the suspicion of cheating in the civil examination."

..................................................................

Next, the rumors outside really started to spread.

Countless candidates were excited once again.

Will the order be changed overnight?
The emperor clearly announced in public that Su Yi would take the court re-examination to prove himself.Moreover, representatives of the candidates were allowed to enter the court to witness with their own eyes.

Now it is actually said that Su Yi does not need to take the re-examination?

What are you doing?

You said that because Su Yi rescued him, he was seriously injured, his life or death was uncertain, and he was unconscious?

What does that have to do with us?
There must be a conspiracy, a trick, it must be a trick.

As a result, the outside of Gongyuan was once again crowded with people.

Countless candidates have to go and kowtow in front of the palace.

But this time, the emperor had no intention of compromising.

Directly order the Ministry of Rites to evacuate the candidates outside the Gongyuan and the Imperial Palace no matter what method they think of.

It doesn't matter whether he threatens to be deposed from his position or to be disqualified from the national examination.

In short, no more candidates can gather in front of the palace.

It is even more impossible to cause radical changes and implement a system of accountability for officials at all levels.

This year is the provincial examination, next year it will be the national examination, so there are tens of thousands of candidates in the capital.

Especially those who take part in next year's provincial examination are the best of the best.

Officials from various ministries, officials from various provinces in Beijing, and officials from various prefectures in Beijing have all received tasks.

Each person is responsible for a large area, a large wave.

The candidate who is in charge appears in front of the palace and is downgraded in the official assessment at the end of the year.

Whoever is in charge of the examination and causes a sudden change will have his feathers removed.

As soon as this killer weapon came out, countless officials were immediately miserable, and they even complained about Su Yi.

Well, Su Yi, it doesn't matter that you are seriously injured, and it doesn't matter that you don't have to take the court re-examination.

Countless candidates were dissatisfied and went to torment the emperor.

And the emperor in turn tormented us.

As a result, many officials went among the candidates, first making sincere words, then concealing threats, and finally making explicit threats.

If you don't leave, your fame will be gone.

I will punish you for being disrespectful to the emperor.

Needless to say, this trick is really effective.

Most of the candidates in front of the palace immediately left.

Most of the candidates who gathered at the Gongyuan side had also left.

But the remaining half is hard to persuade.

No matter what, he won't leave, not even with threats.

Don't they believe that so many people can be demoted?

D.

..................................................................

Du Han and others were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Master Du, this move is really great. Now countless officials are complaining and hating Su Yi. In the future, even if Su Yi becomes an official, his popularity will be ruined."

Du Han sneered and said, "You always miss the point. This time the emperor tormented hundreds of officials for Su Yi. What is this? This is an overdraft of the Holy Family."

"The Holy Family is very precious. It should be used at critical moments. Isn't it a pity to waste it on such things?"

"This time the emperor made such a big move, and he also had a debt repayment mentality in his heart. Su Yi came to the rescue and took the bullet for him. The emperor owed him a debt of gratitude. And with such a big move this time, the emperor would instinctively feel that he was repaying this debt. .”

"According to this method of repayment, this debt of gratitude will be repaid very soon."

"If the remaining candidates don't retreat, the Emperor will have a headache. We can't really use force to expel them. Then they will really become a laughing stock and violate the holy name."

Another official said: "The emperor will not really use force to expel these candidates, right? Then there will be no singing."

Du Han said: "Why not? On our side, we should hope that the emperor will use force to expel these candidates. In that case, all the mistakes in the end will be recorded on Su Yi's head."

"Those of us who are officials must always remember the three most important things."

"Power, money, holy family!"

If Su Yi were here, he would tell you otherwise.

In this troubled world, there is only one thing that matters most.

Soldiers!
Of course, now the Sushun Party has troops in its hands.

Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army, for now, can still be regarded as their soldiers.

..................................................................

Su Yi, who was in a coma, had complete control over everything happening outside.

Because the people sent by my sister-in-law, as well as Li Qi, came to report almost every one or two hours.

Of course Su Yi knew that he was overdrafting the Holy Family at this time.

And the holy family is the most precious thing.

Now that you have used it, the emperor will feel that he no longer owes you, and it will be difficult for the emperor to satisfy his subsequent demands.

Therefore, it is best to let the emperor always owe him.

The Holy Family is like a deposit. It must be kept at a high level at all times to ensure that it can be used at any time when something important happens.

Moreover, there are still less than half of the candidates at the entrance of the Imperial Palace and the Gongyuan Gate who have not left.

This small half, the quantity is also very astonishing.

Therefore, the emperor should feel great pressure now.

In addition, Su Yi knew that the re-examination in the court was his only chance to prove himself.

Otherwise, no matter how high Su Yi's status is, when people talk about him, they will say that he is suspected of cheating in the provincial civil examination. Otherwise, why would he not dare to go to the court for a re-examination?
Therefore, the current situation must not lead to a radical change.

Otherwise, the emperor would lose his dignity, and many officials would be hit directly, and Su Yi would be indirectly hit.

but……

Su Yi had put in so much effort to achieve this proactive situation.

To advance can be attacked, and retreat can be defended.

Therefore, he will not attack until he is very sure.

Although he was unconscious and avoided the re-examination in court, what he ate was a pot of uncooked rice.

And if you go to the court for a re-examination and fail in the end, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, he is still unconscious.

As long as he doesn't wake up, no one can force him to go to the court for a re-examination.

Even morally speaking, it can be justified.

This time, the emperor seemed very bachelor and did not send any eunuchs to visit.

At this time, you cannot visit at will.

Visiting, in a sense, means urging.

Aren't you, Su Yi, awake yet?Why don't you come and help me out?
When the eunuch comes, Su Yi will wake up if she doesn't.

..................................................................

In the palace, the emperor really felt great pressure.

This pressure is invisible.

This time, after he issued the decree, there was no opposition.

Subdue one party and obey all.

All civil and military officials obeyed.

The emperor ordered that all officials should implement a responsibility system, and each person should be responsible for a group of candidates to prevent them from making trouble or gathering around the palace and Gongyuan.

All civil and military officials also tried their best, and there was not even a hint of obsequiousness.

But the more this happens, the greater the pressure on the emperor.

Because the officials tried their best, they still couldn't drive away these candidates, nor could they convince tens of thousands of candidates.

Of course, the emperor still had many tools in his hands that were not being used.

For example, select a few top performers, remove their fame, and remove their qualifications for the public examination.

Or use force to expel them.

But these things cannot be used easily. This time, the emperor himself broke the promise to the candidates first.

They had originally promised to let Su Yi retake the exam in front of the audience, but it didn't work out again.

Once these methods of deposing people are used, radical changes may occur.

Regardless of whether there is a radical change or the use of force to expel.

That would completely damage the emperor's dignity.

So now the emperor is faced with a situation of being blocked at both ends.

On the left, he didn't want to feel sorry for Su Yi. He had to do what he promised him, and he didn't want him dragging his sick body to take the retest.

On the right, he had to face the disappointment of countless candidates towards him as the emperor.

Either left or right, no middle way.

Either let Su Yi down or let down tens of thousands of candidates.

There were indeed several times when the emperor almost couldn't help it and sent someone to visit Su Yi's home, but he still held it back.

The emperor's qualifications are above average, but his resistance to pressure is poor, his character is flawed, and he wants to escape at every turn.

But this time, the emperor had already acted very tough.

But just outside the Gongyuan and the Imperial Palace, there were still more than 1 candidates who were unwilling to retreat, and their emotions became increasingly intense.

When civil and military officials began to behave violently towards many candidates.

It was also a time when the emperor felt the pressure growing.

Su Yi suddenly woke up!
The first time after waking up, he had people carry him out of the house and towards the palace.

He has to take the court re-examination.

time!
Once again the Emperor was thoroughly moved.

After hearing the news, he almost stood up suddenly.

It has to be Su Yi, such a loyal minister.

He is thinking of me all the time and feels the same pressure I face.

I can't tolerate my father being put on fire for examination at all.

The first time I woke up, I came to share my worries.

What is the death of a master who humiliates his ministers? This is the death of a master who humiliates his ministers!

Almost instantly, the pressure on the emperor disappeared without a trace.

Even at this time, it didn't matter to the emperor whether Su Yi cheated in the provincial examination or the imperial examination.

Just assume that Su Yi cheated.

Then he clearly knew that the re-examination in the court might ruin his reputation.

But he still stood up to share the emperor's worries. Isn't this more important than No. 1 in the provincial examination?
A minister is willing to risk his personal reputation to save the emperor. What kind of minister is this?
Besides, it is always true that he ranks No. 1 in martial arts.

At this moment, the emperor didn't care whether Su Yi cheated or not.

He said excitedly: "Go, go, find the softest and most comfortable carriage and carry Su Yi in."

"Su Yi really did not disappoint me."

"Su Yi, even if you write a mediocre article next, it will be enough."

"Even if you suppress the will of the entire court, your reputation will not be ruined."

..................................................................

When Su Yi appeared outside the palace, extremely weak and pale.

Many candidates gathered outside the palace were also stunned.

In their minds, Su Yi's plan was to avoid taking the court re-examination.

But I didn't expect that he would still come despite being so seriously injured.

The emperor had clearly decreed that he did not need to come for the re-examination, but he came as soon as he woke up.

At this time, I am afraid that the whole person is groggy and dying.

Is it too cruel for us to do this?
Are you using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman?
Tens of thousands of candidates looked at Su Yi passing by in silence.

Su Yi didn't feel any displeasure or blame towards their expressions.

But very gentle, friendly, nodding.

Even if he nodded once, it was extremely difficult for him.

At this moment, many candidates were also moved.

Have we been misled?Are we being taken advantage of?

For a moment, everyone was silent, looking at Su Yi's attacking back.

Some people couldn't hold back and bowed to Su Yi.

..................................................................

Note: The first update is here. I will go to the reading class immediately. The next chapter will be written in the evening for the court re-examination.

The top three new books in the monthly ticket list are in danger. My benefactors, please take action. Don't make me uneasy. I beg you all, I bow to you and thank you.
