The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 572 So what if I know it well (2)
Because it was a decree promulgated by the first emperor, the orthodox emperor could not abolish it, so this year's imperial examinations have the status quo that most of the candidates are from merchants' families.Now it seems that the orthodox emperor is not satisfied with this, either he has dissatisfaction with the merchant's heir, or he is dissatisfied with the heart of the person who proposed this good policy.

No matter what the emperor said, the courtiers could only follow suit, and no one dared to speak falsely, except Yang Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Yang Hong has always been famous for his uprightness and daring to speak out, even if the opponent is the Situ family, he never compromised.After knowing such absurd things, Yang Hong tried to persuade the new emperor face to face, but the new emperor not only refused to listen to the persuasion, but was furious on the spot.

Yang Hong and the rebel minister Xie Yan are relatives. His son Yang Feng was the commander of the imperial army and guarded the palace for many years. He was implicated in Xie Yan's treason and fled to Beijun.When Emperor Jingyuan was in power, Yang Hong and his son were Nengguan officials. Now the Imperial Army has been taken over by the Situ family, and Yang Hong and his son have been shelved.

Because of the imperial examination, Yang Hong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was emptied of his official position and fined for several months. Situ He's remonstrance was fruitless.

Even I was stunned when the number one scholar of the present subject was released, I couldn't believe that I could be the number one scholar, wept with joy, after the old practice of parading horses and pagodas, the new emperor still gave the number one scholar a state banquet in Cheng'en Hall.

The top three in the current discipline are all grateful for the new emperor Long En, and they have a bright future, but they find indescribable contempt in the new emperor's deep eyes.

Not long afterward, a few of them got the posts of sixth-rank and seventh-rank editors in the Hanlin Academy, and the rest of them were sent to other places as ninth-rank sesame officials, but they were never reused.

In April, because Emperor Jingyuan entered the mausoleum for only two months, singing, dancing and entertainment were banned in Shengjing City, and the annual Cuju competition in the palace was also suspended for a long time.The common people went to the temple to worship Buddha as usual on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, but the grand scene when Emperor Jingyuan went to Dahuguo Temple to worship Buddha with great fanfare after Emperor Shi was no longer seen.

I don't like Buddhist affairs today.

On the eighth day of April, Buddha's birthday, Situ He went to Fahua Temple to pray as usual. Li Shu and Li Li were there. The century-old bodhi tree in Fahua Temple was still green, but the red ribbons on the tree were much less than in previous years.

The Medicine Master Pagoda in Fahua Temple fell down and hit the Buddhist scriptures pavilion, which caused a fire in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. In addition, the underground palace in the Medicine Buddha Pagoda was sealed off, and the release pond was exhausted. Dahuguo Temple and Lingyun Temple are no longer willing to come here, and even Changxing Street is much cooler.

"It's cleaner than in previous years." Seeing Situ He and Li Li piously worshiping the Bodhi tree, Li Shu held a folding fan and said sarcastic remarks.

Looking around for a week, taking in all the scenery in the temple, Li Shu was still noisy, cursing regretfully: "The old monks in Fahua Temple are really stingy, they can't even Lianyuandou refuse to come back just because there are fewer pilgrims. Donate, what's the fun of coming here?"

In fact, there is another reason why Fahua Temple is dilapidated, and it has not been repaired since the Beijun Mansion rebellion, but ordinary people don't know it.Master Xuanming in Fahua Temple hid in Shengjing City as a monk, and helped Prince Jinyang's son Han Ye and others defect on the day of the rebellion in Beijun Mansion. Such crimes are enough for Fahua Temple to be sealed.

After worshiping the bodhi tree, Situ He straightened up, but his gaze was looking in the direction of the Medicine Master Pagoda in the distance.

Li Shu knew what he was thinking, stepped forward and hooked his shoulder and said, "Don't look, she's not there, she's in the sky. Look at us."

Li Shu didn't even dare to mention Jing Xiaobai's name, how dare he say that Jing Xiaobai was burned to ashes in that ruins?Life is not seen, people are not seen, dead body is not seen, giving people hope, but also making people despair, always suffering from the two worlds of ice and fire.

"Maybe, seeing your sad face, she is not happy, and she will make you stumble and fall to hell." Li Shu laughed loudly, "Anyway, I think she did it. I have been doing it for nothing for the past two months I fell down several times for no reason, she must have been displeased with me and deliberately tripped me up."

Situ He finally curled up his lips and smiled, as if remembering something, he looked at Li Shu: "I don't know what happened to that black snake, let's go find it?"

Li Shu trembled in fright, a gust of cold air pierced his head, pushed Situ He away, and shouted: "Situ He, don't be a monster, I don't want to see that black snake!"

"Hahaha, I won't look for it anymore." Situ He smiled lightly, the smile not reaching his eyes, "It's not fun to find it anymore, this game is only liked by Jing Xiaobai. In fact, I really want to ask her, even if I go Heaven, at least entrust me with a dream, I have no conscience."

"Isn't she heartless? She has been heartless since she was a child, and she doesn't remember when she bullied someone, and she is still laughing and laughing the next day. People who are heartless live more freely, unlike you, who miss this and that, it is better to be unfeeling Good day." Li Shu sighed, shaking his fan.

"No matter how angry and sad you are, at least give me a letter, maybe even I don't believe it anymore, and you're completely gone." Situ He looked at the Bodhi tree and said inexplicable words.

"Why are you angry? What are you leaving behind?" Li Shu didn't understand.

Maybe it's been three years, but it's not like the first year and the second year, when you can't mention it, your heart will be bloody when you touch it, Situ He smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing. Looking back now, the sick man is not useless, If he's not dead, maybe Xu Jing Xiaobai is still around, right?"

Forgive everything, accept everything, as long as she lives, gets married and has children, it doesn't matter, if she can see and grasp, he will be content.

Backing back again and again, imagining countless possibilities, Situ He could only smile wryly in the end: "It's too soon, this day is the third year. We are getting older every day, Jing Xiaobai... will not grow up again gone."

"Yeah, she just passed her 17th birthday when she left, so it's really an advantage, she'll be 17 forever, watching us grow old." Li Shu sighed.

Li Li clenched the longevity lock on his chest, and kept his eyebrows lowered and said nothing.

She didn't wear a red dress today, but she wore a bun that Princess Jing once wore.I forgot what I was like, and I still hope that I am more like "her".

But ah, how could she be more like Princess Jing?
She has already, and Princess Jing will not grow up again, she has no way to imitate Princess Jing's age of 19 and the long and endless years after that.The gaze of the general in red was becoming less and less likely to stay on her body.

The general in red still has the ambition of the country and the great responsibility of the family and the country. She is just a little girl who is obsessed with love. She has no one to love. What is the use of longevity?
In the blink of an eye in May, the sun became more poisonous day by day.

On the first Duanyang Festival since he ascended the throne, Baili Yu still held a family banquet in the palace according to the old rules.

At that time, all the empresses and concubines of Emperor Jingyuan had moved to other palaces, and Concubine Ji Shu, the biological mother of the only third princess, Bailirou, was with Emperor Jingyuan when he was dying.The Duanyang family banquet was organized by the Empress Dowager Ji alone.

But for some reason, the atmosphere tonight is a little dignified.
