Dressed as the Queen Mother to grasp the script of a strong country

The Huoyao Envoy drank cup after cup of tea.

When the officials of Daijin looked at Huo Yao's envoys, they felt that they had not seen the world, and they felt that the Huo Yao Dynasty was rude.

Since Wei Yuchun had a miscarriage, the emperor rarely went to the palace of Liang Shuer and Jiao Zhenzhen.

The emperor was often in Zheng Wanyi's palace.

In the palace of Concubine Shu.

"Shu Fei, Your Majesty," the palace maid said.

"Is the emperor here?" Concubine Shu looked in the direction of the palace maid eagerly in anticipation.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has gone to the palace of the Concubine Xian." The palace maid said anxiously.

"We are going to Concubine Xian's palace again." Concubine Shu repeated in a disappointed tone.

Then he threw the cup in his hand to the ground in anger.

The palace maid fell to her knees, trembling.

Concubine Shu stood up and walked to the door of the house, looking at the vast dark night.

"How many times has this been the emperor's visit to Concubine Xian?

Concubine Shu's expression of loss and jealousy was reflected on her face.

In the Queen's Palace.

"The Empress's birthday will be in a few days. It's better for the Empress to leave the matter of her birthday to my concubine," said Concubine De.

Liang Shuer was very unhappy when she saw Jiao Zhenzhen trying to please the queen.

Since Liang Shuer and Jiao Zhenzhen had a falling out, Jiao Zhenzhen slowly moved closer to the queen.

"Queen, why don't you leave the birthday issue to me?" Liang Shuer said, vowing to make Jiao Zhenzhen unhappy.

Tuoba Lanrou saw that both of them wanted to host her birthday, and did not want to offend them, so she did not reply.

In the Queen's Palace.

Tuoba Lanrou told the emperor that Liang Shuer and Jiao Zhenzhen both wanted to host their birthday.

The emperor glanced at Tuoba Lanrou and said: "Leave the birthday matter to Liang Shu'er. You can decide such things yourself in the future. You are the queen, why do you need to ask me about such a trivial matter."

The emperor was very unhappy with Tuoba Lanrou's obedient and delicate temperament.

Then the emperor ignored Tuoba Lanrou and went to bed early.

Tuoba Lanrou looked at the emperor who had closed his eyes and slept, feeling very sad and helpless inside, and started sobbing silently.

Tuoba Lanrou was getting more and more homesick at this moment, and she felt lonely like never before in this palace.

"You still want to fight with me." Liang Shuer said disdainfully.

"Concubine Shu, the emperor still loves you the most. I will entrust the birthday of the empress to you instead of concubine De." The palace maid said flatteringly.

Liang Shuer smiled proudly.

Liang Shuer thought in her heart.

"The Emperor still loves me, Liang Shuer, the most."

On the night when Liang Shuer learned that she was hosting her birthday, the emperor came to Jiao Zhenzhen's room.

When Jiao Zhenzhen saw the emperor coming, she was so angry that she deliberately did not go to greet him, but instead dressed in the mirror.

The emperor slowly came behind Jiao Zhenzhen and put his hands on Jiao Zhenzhen's shoulders.

"My beloved concubine is angry." The emperor said.

Jiao Zhenzhen didn't talk to her, but kept silent.

"You also know that Liang Shu'er is overbearing and domineering. I am worried that if you host your birthday, if she gets in trouble, I will feel sorry for you if you are wronged." The emperor said softly.

"Really?" Jiao Zhenzhen asked, confused by the sweet words and believing the emperor's words.

"It's true, doesn't Zhenzhen believe in my heart for you?" the emperor said.

Jiao Zhenzhen was so fascinated by the emperor's words that she couldn't think.

He accepted the emperor's words easily and didn't care about not being able to host the Queen's birthday.

"Concubine Shu, your Majesty comes to Concubine De's room."

"This bitch Jiao Zhenzhen must be dissatisfied with the emperor asking me to host his birthday, so she resorted to tricks to let the emperor come to her palace." Liang Shuer thought.

The maid was trembling with fear.

After that, the emperor continued to go to the palace of Concubine Xian in the following days.

Liang Shuer was very dissatisfied with this and beat and scolded the palace maids at every turn, becoming more and more arrogant and domineering.

Liang Shuer once again learned that the emperor had arrived at Concubine Xian's palace and wanted to beat and scold his servants again.

"Shu Fei, my concubine, please listen to what I have to say."

Liang Shuer heard the palace maid's words and signaled to the palace maid.

"Your Majesty, you are hosting the Queen's birthday. Why not make the Concubine Xian make a fool of herself on her birthday and make her laugh? In this way, the Concubine Xian will definitely fall out of favor with the Emperor."

Liang Shuer carefully thought about what the palace maid said and felt that it was very feasible.

……

The Queen's birthday has arrived.

The emperor sat in the main seat.

Liang Meng and Tuoba Lanrou each stood on one side.

Celebrating Tuoba Lanrou’s birthday.

"Thank you, Concubine Shu, for organizing my birthday."

"It is my honor to satisfy the Queen."

"Serve the meal." Concubine Shu said.

Various meals were placed on everyone's tables.

In addition to the concubines in the palace, there were also relatives of the emperor and the female relatives of officials and officials who came to attend the birthday of the empress.

Everyone tasted the meal carefully.

Zheng Wanyi felt her stomach churn as she ate the meal in front of her, and her face became very embarrassed.

Liang Shuer kept paying attention to Zheng Wanyi's direction, and was very proud to see Zheng Wanyi's embarrassed expression.

Zheng Wanyi's stomach turned and she had to step back and go to the toilet.

Zheng Wanyi left and came back twice in succession, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Xian Fei, are you feeling unwell?" the emperor noticed Zheng Wanyi's abnormality and asked.

"When I return to the emperor, I think I ate something unclean. I would also like to ask the emperor to allow me to return to the palace first." Zheng Wanyi said.

"That's fine. Even if you feel unwell, you should ask the imperial doctor. Yuan Gao went and asked the imperial doctor to show the Concubine Xian." The emperor said.

"Sister Xianfei, there is no way you should leave the Queen's birthday banquet." Liang Shuer said.

"It doesn't matter that your health is important." The Queen said.

Liang Meng's eyes flickered between them.

The emperor also looked at Liang Shuer, seeming to have something in mind.

Zheng Wanyi left in a hurry to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

Looking at Zheng Wanyi's hurried away figure, the ladies chose to ignore it, pretending they didn't see anything.

Liang Shuer gloated.

Displeasure flashed across the emperor's calm face.

The birthday celebration still goes on.

Then he saw Yuan Gao returning to the banquet in a hurry, with joy on his face and brisk steps.

When the emperor saw Yuan Gao leaving and returning, he asked worriedly: "How is the virtuous concubine?"

"Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor, and happy concubine," Yuan Gao said.

"Are you saying that the Concubine Xian is pregnant?" The emperor's brain stopped after hearing the news.

"Yes, the imperial physician has just checked the pulse of the Concubine Xian, and she has been pregnant for more than two months." Yuan Gao said.

The emperor was very happy and wished he could leave immediately to the palace of Concubine Xian.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The concubines, ministers, and family members all spoke to congratulate.

When Liang Shuer heard the news, she was struck by thunder. Anger, disbelief, and shame made her expression stiff and unnatural.

When the palace maid saw Liang Shuer's appearance, her body couldn't help but tremble.

After the banquet.

There was a scene of joy in the palace of the Concubine Xian.

In the palace of Concubine Shu.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare this slave, spare this slave."

The feather duster hit the palace maid.

"If it weren't for your good idea, how could Concubine Xian be found out to be pregnant, and I would be slapped hard," Liang Shuer said.

In the palace of Empress Dowager De.

Jiao Zhenzhen was very happy to see Liang Shuer's anger.

"The concubine Xian is pregnant, why am I not pregnant yet?" Jiao Zhenzhen said in despair.

……

In the peach blossom forest in cold winter.

Jing Huan and Liu Heng were fighting and fighting.

Liu Heng shot down Jing Huan's weapon.

Jing Huan panted tiredly, looked at the fallen weapon, thought of the scene of being defeated in the inn, and then picked up the weapon.

"Come again."

Liu Heng looked at Jing Huan who insisted on coming again and said, "Martial arts training still needs to be done step by step. You are too tired today."

Jing Huan looked at Liu Heng.

"Am I not suitable for practicing martial arts? Why do I always fail?" Jing Huan said, falling into self-doubt.

"No, you are already very good at being like this." Liu Heng said.

"Really?" Jing Huan asked expectantly.

Liu Heng nodded.

"But why do I keep failing?" Jing Huan thought of his failure again and asked in frustration.

"The world is so big and there are countless talented people, how can you be invincible? When you choose to be with weapons and choose the path destined to compete with others, then you have to accept that victory and defeat are commonplace for military strategists." Liu Heng said. Jing Huan looked at Liu Heng.

"Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists?" Jing Huan said.

"The journey of a warrior is never-ending. It can only be stronger, stronger, and stronger, until the end of life." Liu Heng said.

"Keep getting stronger until the end of your life." Jing Huan said.

"So do you still care about victory or defeat that much now?" Liu Heng said.

Jing Huan shook his head.

"A warrior should not care about victory or defeat, but to become stronger." Jing Huan said.

The two started fighting in the peach blossom forest again.

"Dai Jin wants to play polo with Huo Yao, and I want to become stronger than now when playing polo," Jing Huan said.

"Play polo." Liu Heng said.

Liu Heng showed a trace of disappointment.

"You need to wear a mask to play polo." Jing Huan said, sensing Liu Heng's loss.

"Mask." Liu Heng said.

Then Liu Heng's absence allowed Jing Huan to take advantage of the opportunity, and Jing Huan took the opportunity to shoot down Liu Heng's weapon.

This time Liu Heng lost and Jing Huan won.

"Being distracted on the battlefield will lead to failure." Jing Huan said proudly.

Liu Heng came to his senses and picked up weapons to fight Jing Huan.

Jing Huan realized that Liu Heng had been absent-minded since he talked about playing polo. When leaving, Jing Huan took out the mask hidden in his clothes and handed it to Liu Heng.

Liu Heng didn't react when he saw the mask.

"Remember to wear a mask, we need you for the polo match between Daijin and Huoyao." Jing Huan said.

Jing Huan left.

"You need me in the polo match." Liu Heng said looking at the mask in his hand.

……

In Liang Meng Palace.

Liang Meng was thinking about the upcoming imperial examination.

The most important thing in the exam is to do it right, work hard and get rewarded. The most important thing is to be fair and cheating is strictly prohibited.

Only when ordinary people feel fairness can they have hope, and Daikin will be a dynasty that continues to progress. If ordinary people study hard for a long time, but are replaced by others with status and power, it will be no different to ordinary people. destroy.

The officials of Daijin had the limitations of the times and would not even think of a perfect imperial examination system.

Therefore, Liang Meng had to consider all steps of the imperial examination in advance.

The examination must be fair and just. To be fair and just, the test papers must be consistent.

But how to be consistent?

Liang Meng thought in his heart.

If you want the test papers to be consistent, you need to solve the problem that the distances from various places on Huangcheng Road are different.

The imperial examinations must be on the same day and the test papers must be the same.

If the test papers are transported from the Imperial City at different times when the test papers are the same, it will lead to leaked questions.

If the questions are leaked, it will lead to someone buying the imperial examination questions and cheating, which will violate fairness.

Kongming lantern?

Transport test papers via Kong Ming Lantern?

No, no, the direction of the Kongming Lantern depends on the wind, a natural force, which is completely uncontrollable.

Since it cannot be changed from the transportation time, it is necessary to start from the transported test papers to prevent the test papers from being leaked.

To prevent the leakage of test papers, we must consider the container in which the test papers are placed and the person who transports the test papers.

A container for test papers?

Liang dreamed of Gongsun Mo, and he might be able to ask Gongsun Mo to make a mechanism to hold the container.

As for the person who transported the test papers, Liang Meng thought of Jin Yiwei.

The current Jinyiwei has spread out to places in Daijin with Daijin as the center, forming a network structure.

Therefore Jin Yiwei is the most suitable candidate.

At that time, Gongsun Mo will make the keys to open the container, one will be kept by Jin Yiwei, and the other will be kept by the examiner.

This might be foolproof.

Liang Meng went to the place where the emperor was and told the emperor his thoughts.

Jinshui City.

The outside of the examination room was crowded with carriages coming to see him off.

On a carriage.

"Ruhui, you should take the exam well." Liu's father and Liu's mother told him.

"Father, mother, Ruhui will definitely do well in the exam."

Zhang Zheng was already waiting for Liu Ruhui.

"Brother Zhang, I wonder how this imperial examination is conducted?" Liu Ruhui asked curiously.

"I really don't know if I have to stay in there for nine days. I don't know if I can persist." Zhang Zheng said worriedly.

"Yeah, I don't know what the test will be, but I have to stay in there for nine days." Liu Ruhui said.

"Line in line, line up, everyone stand in a line."

Zhang Zheng and Liu Ruhui stood in a row.

"You are Wu Ba." The officer and soldier asked, looking at the unshaven man in front of them and then at the portrait in their hands.

"To tell you what my lord, the villain is none other than Takepachi."

"I won't let you in until I shave my beard," the officer said.

"Where can I find a beard replacement tool?"

The officers and soldiers took out their swords and handed them to Takepachi.

"Down there."

"My lord, I am Zheng Si."

"Take off your clothes."

"My lord, can you be accommodating?"

After saying that, he put the copper coins into the hands of the official.

"What are you doing? Take it off if you want." The official scolded loudly.

When everyone saw that the official did not accept the copper coins, everyone started talking.

"When did this official become so honest?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"Yes." Zhang Zheng said.

A strange feeling arose in Zhang Zheng's heart.

It's like seeing a pure land in an environment full of mud.

Zhang Zheng looked around and saw a man wearing a black goldfish suit on the roof, looking down.

It was the surveillance of Jin Yiwei that made the official officials clean and honest.

If you want to realize your ambition, perhaps you can only achieve it if you have power.

A small seed took root and sprouted in Zhang Zheng's heart.

"Take off your clothes," the official said.

"Do you know who I am? I am..." said the young man who was stopped.

"Sir, please don't make things difficult for our errands. We should take off our clothes quickly."

When the young man saw the official's appearance, he became even more arrogant.

"If you don't take it off, I'm going in now."

After saying this, the man was about to walk into the examination room.

The Jin Yiwei who was standing on the roof came down from the roof and put the knife on the man's neck.

"Take it off or get out."

The man was afraid, so he took off his clothes obediently.

Everyone in the examination room was under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei, who checked the people one by one to see if anyone had brought anything cheating into the examination room.

The examiner is about to hand out the test papers to the candidates.

"Stop." Jin Yiwei said.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"The real test papers are in my hands." Jin Yiwei said.

After saying that, he took out a wooden box, inserted the token that proved his identity, and said, "Sir, please also take out the token that proves your identity and put it in."

After the two tokens were put in, the box opened.

Looking at the test questions that appeared in front of him, the examiner fell into a daze.

The examiner has revealed the exam questions in advance.

But I didn't expect that this was the real problem.

The examiner was sweating nervously on his forehead.

Candidates who bought questions from the examiner were disappointed when they saw that the test questions were different from those given by the examiner.

There were endless sounds of wailing and crying in the examination room.

Zhang Zheng was looking at the exam question: As an official in a declining dynasty, how would you save this dynasty.

Zhang Zheng fell into thinking.

Then he wrote: Only by grasping power and unifying thoughts can this dynasty be saved.

Liu Ruhui saw the question and answered: Be a loyal minister who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic...

Zheng Baiying saw the question and answered: Stick to your ideals, wealth is not what I want, An Neng can bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful...

……

Liang Meng listened to the emperor talk about the success of the imperial examination at the beginning.

I thought that if the Jin Yiwei were not short of manpower, there should be two waiting Jin Yiwei in each place.
