Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 340 Yun Qing Triumphantly Returns to Chang'an (1)
Liang Xusheng is only 13 years old, the youngest among Jinshi this year.

He was very nervous, thinking that He Dong was going to ask an extremely difficult question, but he just said these two sentences.

He Dong whispered a few words into the ear of Shang Liang who was ranked third, and then he fixed his eyes on him.

Shang Liang's eyes were extremely firm and he said: "Your Majesty, it's hard to get over the water."

He Dong sighed softly, walked up to Li Qubing, who was ranked second, and asked two questions first. Seeing dense sweat on Li Qubing's tense forehead, he asked another seven questions until Li Qubing overcame his mental illness. Only then did he let him go because of his tense and fluent answers.

Qin Minye, who was ranked number one, was expressionless and couldn't see the slightest nervousness. He just looked carefully and found that his fists were clenched.

He Dong is tall and burly, standing in front of Qin Minye, he can be called petite.

"I heard that you went out to study for more than a year before taking the test. What did you hear and see from the people?"

Qin Minye replied respectfully: "The students went to the Northland first, where they heard the people talking about when the flames of war would be extinguished, and saw the people's poverty and hunger. Then they went to the Southland, where they heard the people talking about when the court would be able to extinguish the war." The tax reduction has seen the people working hard for three meals a day."

"Would you like to be an official in the North or the South?"

Qin Minye said in a loud voice: "As long as it is the land of my dynasty, students from both the north and the south are willing to become officials and benefit the common people."

He Dong nodded and said, "Okay!"

Suddenly Qin Minye knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the student wants to ask you for confirmation."

Everyone was surprised by Qin Minye's move.

He Yiyang beckoned and asked the fat eunuch to push him beside Qin Minye, and looked up at He Dong whose complexion changed slightly.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Minye said in a low voice: "The student's late grandfather was the number one scholar of the Kai Dynasty, He Dashi. He was exposed by the officials of the same dynasty when he had been with you and betrayed the Kai Dynasty. To prove his innocence, he was smashed to death on the pillar of this hall. The student wants to ask you, Is your grandfather in contact with you?"

Everyone never expected that Qin Minye would ask such a sensitive and taboo question at such a critical moment, and they were all worried about him.

He Dong was actually a little excited and said: "Back then, Grand Master He had the same ideas as Mr. He, and he vowed to drive the Xiongnu out of the Northland. He was also someone I admired. It's a pity that Mr. He has not yet persuaded Mr. He to submit to me. He was framed and committed suicide.”

Qin Minye kowtowed heavily, gratefully said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being the student's grandfather."

He Dong personally stepped forward to support Qin Minye with both hands, and said: "Scholar He has such an outstanding grandson like you, the soul in heaven will be very pleased."

Qin Minye said very moved: "The student's grandfather was not born at the right time, and he was not honored to meet such a wise king as His Majesty as the student."

He Dong looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, turned around and announced loudly the top three winners of this year's first class, "Qin Minye, Li Qubing, No. [-], Shangliang, Liang Xusheng, Tanhua..."

With the great victory in the Northland, He Dong was overjoyed, and selected two champions, two second places, and two candidates in the Ding Dynasty's third scientific examination hall.

The six newly-baked champions, second place, and Tanhualang were very excited. They were taken by the palace servants to the side hall and changed into special red court robes, red flowers were inserted on the official hats, and they were dressed like a groom.

The six people left the Xuanzheng Hall, rode on the handsome white horse, and were escorted out of the imperial palace by the imperial army, and toured the four main streets of Chang'an.

People from the Li family, Qin family, Shang family, and Liang family heard the good news and happily ran to the street to have a look.

The most handsome among the six is ​​not Li Qubing, but the youngest Liang Xusheng.The limelight of the two actually overwhelmed Qin Minye, the champion of the little black bear.

"Little uncle, congratulations on winning the first prize!" Li Jingjing waved to Li Qubing.

"Jingniang, I'm the name of my grandfather, Your Majesty still chooses me to be the champion!" The ordinary-looking black-faced boy riding a white horse only showed a calm and bright smile to Li Jingjing who was standing in the crowd.

Liang Xusheng immediately followed Qin Minye's gaze and found Li Jingjing in the crowd who was wearing a purple dress and white skin than snow, and shouted loudly in a voice that had changed: "Jingniang, it's getting cold, I made the rabbit fur protector for you with my own hands." Remember to wear the canister."

The cheers of the people covered the cries of the two teenagers, and Li Jingjing watched their backs disappear in the crowd.

That night, He Dong held a banquet for Jinshi of the new discipline, accompanied by all civil and military officials.

Among the six, Qin Minye, Shang Liang, and Liang Xusheng, who were not engaged, became the hottest figures.

Qin Minye was slightly drunk, but his mind was clear, he said with a smile: "The lower official has someone in mind, just wait until she is old enough to propose marriage."

Liang Xusheng's reason for rejecting the marriage proposals of the officials was exactly the same as that of Qin Minye.

Of course there are well-informed officials who know that the champion and the second place are both interested in the same lady. If it were a lady from Beppu, they would have teased them on the spot, but this lady is a princess, and there is a big man behind her Backing, how dare these officials mention it in public.

A few officials who are close to the Shang family specifically asked: "Shang Bang No. [-], what question did His Majesty ask you in the palace?"

Shang Liang replied with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot about it after hearing it at the time. If you want to know, please ask Your Majesty."

Several officials pointed at Shang Liang and cursed with a smile: "Slippery."

At the end of the banquet, Jinke Jinshi, who was drunk and staggered by all the officials, was escorted back to the mansion by the Imperial Forest Army.

Li Qubing returned to Prince Qing's Mansion, he was very happy to see that the Li family and Ding's mother and son were waiting for him before they fell asleep, and excitedly described the process of the palace examination to them.

The twins sat on Li Qubing's lap, wrapped their arms around his arms, and looked at him adoringly.

He's face was full of excitement and he said to the crowd: "Your Majesty asked Qu Bing to recite the sacrificial oration to build momentum for Qu Bing. Sure enough, today he ordered Qu Bing No. It was his number one prize."

The He family and He Huishu had never told Qin Minye to ask He Dong in the imperial examination before, Qin Minye was filial to He Huishu, and in order to clear his grandfather's name, he was not afraid of self-destructive future to ask boldly.

Because the entire Dingchao people were paying attention to the palace examination, within half a day, the news that the Grand Master Kaichaohe had never had any contact with He Dong spread in all directions.

Master He's reputation is not stained, which is a great thing for the He sisters and He Jiye.

Li Qubing said loudly: "Your Majesty's heart is as wide as the sea, it is the blessing of your subjects and the common people."

He Shi asked: "I don't know what His Majesty said to Shang Liang, but Shang Liang's words are irreparable?"

Li Qubing said softly: "I was standing next to Shang Liang, and I vaguely heard the word Haiwangfu in His Majesty's words."

Everyone nodded knowingly.

He Shi specifically instructed: "It's about the royal family, you don't want to spread it to the outside world."

In the dead of night, a girl's sad cry and a woman's comforting voice came from a bedroom in Haiwang's Mansion.
