Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 877 Vigorous Love
Guan Xuqing suddenly saw a few people walking this way with electric lanterns not far in front, he quickened his pace and saw a maid in front of him, carrying a lantern and leading a person, after a careful look, Guan Xuqing couldn't help calling out: "It's you!"

The man raised his head and saw that it was the emperor, his pale face became even paler, he had no place to put his hands and feet for a moment, squatted down and said softly, "Master, all blessings!"

"Retire if you have nothing to do." Guan Xuqing waved his hand, and everyone immediately retreated to the distance with interest.

"Go, talk in the moonlight field, it's bright there."

"Right now"

"What are you afraid of? People seem to live for rules and face. If you can really put aside your face, you can live freely. If others dare to talk nonsense, I will kill a few to see!" Speaking of this, Guan Xuqing raised his eyebrows. They all stood up, took each other's hand and walked towards Haizi.At this time, both the rain and the wind seemed to stop for these two people, and the moonlight slanted down, making people's brows and hair like snow.

The man didn't speak, and followed him to the edge of Haizi, looking at the moonlight like silver water, the two of them stared at each other for a long time, neither of them spoke.The time has changed and the location has changed, but neither of them has changed. A few dim palace lanterns in the distance reflect their figures.

"Jingfang, are you okay? I heard that you were born. I have been fidgeting for the past few months. I really want to see you and the child, but alas, etiquette is something that gets in the way. Sooner or later, I will Put aside all this harmful etiquette."

Jingfang threw herself into the emperor's arms and sobbed softly: "I miss you so much, you don't know how difficult Yi'er was born. He was not at home at the time, and you couldn't come to see me. I am so miserable." "

"I miss you too." Guan Xuqing held her shoulder with one hand, and stroked her long hair tenderly with the other, "I will never forget you wherever I go, and I will never forget you. I always miss you and love you dearly." Puyi was born, did Zaiyi see the problem, why don't you?"

Jingfang shook her head and said: "Fortunately, the man just wanted to be cheerful for a while, who would remember those things after the past, he didn't have any doubts about Yi'er, he just regarded it as his own flesh and blood, and the pain can't be over. .”

"You underestimate all the men in the world. Whoever said that men only want to be happy for a while, I said that you must be responsible for it."

Jingfang raised her head, the moonlight was so white that she couldn't see the other person's face clearly.Suddenly, two drops of cold tears fell on her cheeks, and she asked in panic: "Master, master! What's wrong with you? I don't understand what you just said. Do you want to marry?" She dared not say the latter words anyway. She felt that she was dreaming, how could this be possible, the other party was the emperor of the empire, with a territory of [-] miles, and the life and death of a billion Asians, what was she, with a husband and children, at most she was the emperor's lover, How can you expect the other party to be married by the media?

Guan Xuqing caressed her face, held her tightly in his arms, and suddenly said in an unusually firm voice, "If you marry, you will marry, what's the big deal, I open up territories, and the world can be brought down, but I can't Marry the one I love?"

"Ah!" Jingfang didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing. She was excited and scared at the same time, and said timidly: "Your majesty, but there are queens, concubines De, Lan, and so many concubines in the harem. Will you agree, and how will the courtiers and the people talk about it, if you really do this, they will say you are a dizzy"

Guan Xuqing looked up and laughed loudly: "Defending the mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan. Even if I have great abilities, can I still stop the mouth of the people of the world? Why do you care about it? Why do you think so much? In the world, thinking about the past and the future will only make myself more painful, and what great things can be achieved, I am the ruler of the empire, I can't be the master of this matter, and the emperor doesn't have to do it anymore!"

"But, there is still Zaiyi, he"

"Zaiyi?" Guan Xuqing's eyes flickered, and he held Jingfang's shoulders to stare at her eyes and said, "Is Zaiyi a good husband? If he is a good husband, how could he be so indifferent to you for a long time? In my eyes, Zaiyi is not a problem at all for attracting bees and attracting butterflies outside, even getting involved with the rebel Qiu Jin."

"People will say that the servant girl is a slut, that the emperor betrayed her husband"

"Three cardinal principles and five constant principles, three obedience and four virtues are all nonsense of the ancients. Why can't people do what they want to do? Dare to love, dare to hate, dare to think and dare to do is the true nature of a man, and it is also the rule set by me."

"But Zaiyi is still my husband, we can't possibly get past him, I think we should," Jingfang said hesitantly.

Guan Xuqing let out a long breath, stared at Jingfang and said slowly: "I only ask you, if there is no Zaiyi, would you stay with me?"

Jingfang's eyes flickered, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I really don't know." She seemed to think of something suddenly, took a breath, stared at the emperor, and said, "Do you want to send Zai Ripple killed"

Guan Xuqing smiled wryly, and said: "I dare not say that I am a wise king, at least I understand some principles of right and wrong. Even the emperor can't rob someone's wife or kill someone's husband for no reason. That's a matter of nature."

Only then did Jing Fang breathe a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Your Majesty, how many women's love can a man hold in his heart?"

Guan Xuqing thought for a while before saying, "There is only one, and that is your sister, Jingfen."

"What about me? What am I?" Jingfang asked with tears in her eyes.

"Your sister and I are one person, just like water and fish, neither can live without the other. You are like a cherry blossom on a branch, you can watch it from a distance, but if you can't help but pick it off, can you still live? "

Jingfang pondered what the other party said, and gradually became obsessed.

The two of them stopped talking, and stood side by side in front of Haizi. From some room came the sound of the golden bell ringing, long and trembling, like sighs that never stopped.

In the blink of an eye, the Enke was held by the Ministry of Education. The imperial army was in full swing in Asia and won brilliant victories one after another. Therefore, the emperor added Enke this year, giving the poor students in the world an extra chance to jump into the dragon's gate. .This year's Enke opened very early, and it was held in August. At this time, the bright sun was not so dazzling, and it did not bring the annoying heat in midsummer, but it was warm and lazy. Shining on the earth, it seems that it wants to melt everything into its embrace.

Candidates who were nominated for the gold list in Qiu Wei last year gathered from all over the country to the capital to prepare for this rare Enke scholar.Compared with previous years, this year seems to be a little new.People who have lived in the capital for several generations can feel it.There are fewer nerds holding books and babbling on the street, and more healthy young people with high spirits and trendy conversations.I heard that it is because the Holy Majesty once again reformed the imperial examination system and adjusted the content of the examination, expanding the content of natural science and Western sociology. The theories of Russell, Spencer and other Western philosophers have become the examination One of the key points of the study, there are also some investigations of current affairs. Of course, the main content is traditional Chinese studies, but it is not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics. The emperor also gave the imperial examination a very novel name: "Gaokao."

Most of these people who came to Beijing for the exam were not from scholarly families, but mostly from merchant and craftsman families. I heard that a scholar from Anhui Province who passed the exam in the Planning Department of the Ministry of Construction was also a carpenter.From time to time, you can hear some fresh terms and even disrespectful words, which made some old masters shake their heads, sighing that the world is declining and people's hearts are not old.

However, the imperial court now speaks widely, and the emperor personally issued a decree to allow the people to run their own newspapers, and everything can be published to the world as long as it conforms to the truth, so these scholars have lost these taboos.

On August [-], all the candidates for the imperial examination entered the congregational courtyard and took part in the general examination of this subject.

"Shizhi, today's science and policy theory is really as you said. It is a test of the reform and reform of Germany, Russia, and Japan. Shizhi is really clever." Cai Yuanpei, who came out of the examination hall, said happily.

Hu Shi smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I have any clever plans. Obviously, the emperor has mentioned us many times. It's just that you are careless and didn't pay attention. Don't you think that what the emperor published in the newspapers during this period is all about reforms. Is it something? It seems that the empire has expanded its territory and dominated Asia, and the emperor is going to make new reforms."

"Really? It's because you're smart enough to know the details. If you do the right thing, you'll definitely be able to go to high school this time. However, won't this be unfair to other people?" Cai Yuanpei smiled silly and patted his head.

Hu Shi said indifferently: "I have met many important people in my life. Not only do they only know how to seek personal gain, but they also do things too rigidly to achieve success. Only the emperor can be strong or soft, and the methods he uses can be righteous or evil. He hinted at us, and he has his own deep meaning." "It seems that the emperor is really ready to reform, and this really requires the courage to open up the world." Wang Guowei said on the side.

Cai Yuanpei waved his fist at this time, and said: "It is my responsibility to change the atmosphere and create a new rule. Look at how those soldiers in the newspapers fought bloody battles in the Middle East. I really want to throw my pen and join the army to fight against the British and French." If you do it once, you will win a reputation like General Feng Yuxiang in the future, which will be enough to honor the ancestors."

Hu Shi shook his head, and said in a deep tone: "We have our own tasks. Now the army is fighting and fighting for the rights and interests of the country. Since ancient times, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to stay in the country. It is one thing to open up territories. The next step is to To develop industries and boost the economy, although countries like Afghanistan and Iran are rich in natural resources, they are all poor countries, and what is lacking now is talents like us to govern.
