Chapter 770 Good and Bad Things ([-])

On the seventh day of March in the 59th year of Kangxi, the emperor issued two edicts. First, King Renjun resigned due to physical reasons, which was approved; In the past, he had a little work and didn't want to be serious. He was dismissed and never employed.These two edicts were issued at the same time, which inevitably led to chaos among the ruling and opposition parties, but it was just a gust of wind, and it soon became a fleeting cloud of smoke, which never stirred up any more waves.

On the ninth day of April in the 59th year of Kangxi, Lang Erheng, Minister of the Lifan Academy, and Wang Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to the front of the Western Front Army with the imperial decree. On April 23, the first round of talks was held at the former site of Qiuci City. The conditions of the two sides were too different. The two sides argued fiercely for several days, but to no avail. On May [-]th, another meeting was held, still fruitless. When the news was sent back to the capital, the emperor was very angry. However, the war has now become a stalemate of confrontation.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the 59th year of Kangxi has come to the end of the year. Half a year has passed. They were all waiting, waiting for something wrong with the old man's dragon body, but the old man lived like a dragon and tiger, and he never even had a cold. Brothers are all very depressed.

Whether other people's feelings are good or bad, it's all other people's business, but Hong Qing doesn't care about it at all, and he is living a very carefree life. Outside of Ann, it is almost impossible to go outside the gate. Occasionally, it is also at the invitation of the old fifteen brothers. They just stay in their own house every day, but they are not idle. During this rare free time, Hong Qing just relied on her extraordinary memory to sort out the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry in her previous life, and compiled all the teaching materials from elementary school to high school, but she did not announce it to others, but put it on the shelf after completion There is no other, and it is not necessary to stir up troubles until the knowledge is really useful.

New Year's is always very busy, even if it is an ordinary family, you may have to visit relatives and friends, let alone Hong Qing who is a junior among the children of the Tian family, you have to go to Changchun Garden to pay your respects, everyone The family also had to visit each mansion one by one, and later had to deal with all kinds of people who came to visit. This busy work lasted until after the Lantern Festival, and then it was considered that the New Year's Day was over. I thought it was just like this, it should be I can rest well for a while, but I never thought that such a wish could not be realized after all. No, just after noon on the [-]th of the first month, Hong Qing was about to take a nap when she saw Zhao Fushun, the head of the palace, hurriedly He rushed over and said that Li Dequan had come to deliver the decree, but he had already arrived outside the gate of the mansion.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Renjun Wang Hongqing is respectful, filial and virtuous, with outstanding talents and knowledge. He is the chief examiner of Xin Chou Ke. He Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Ming, a cabinet student of the Imperial Academy, are loyal and loyal. I hope you will be kind and virtuous. Don't be arrogant or impetuous. , to select good talents for the country, I admire this!"

Although the imperial decree came suddenly, the people of the Renjun Palace had long been accustomed to the procedure of receiving the decree. After a busy schedule, all matters were soon ready. After Hongqing led the crowd to kneel in front of the incense table, Li Dequan did this He unhurriedly unfolded the imperial decree he was holding in his hand, and proclaimed it in a procrastinated manner.

What?examiner?Are you kidding me, the old man is messed up!

The decree is not too long, just a few sentences, but in Hong Qing's ears, it sounded like thunder. She was stunned for a long time and never came back to her senses. It can be regarded as a solid foundation, but if you really want to say how strong it is, it’s really hard to say. If you go to the Jinshi examination, you may barely pass it, but compared with those well-educated Confucians, it’s just a newcomer, and you can’t even talk about entering the room. No, Hong Qing is still very self-aware to be the chief examiner of Spring Girl with such a level, and she was really dumbfounded by the old man's will for a while.

"Cough cough."

Hong Qing was completely bewildered by the old man's weird decree. Li Dequan had already announced his decree, but Hong Qing hadn't reacted at all. Seeing this, Li Dequan couldn't speak up to wake him up, so he could only force himself The ground fake coughed twice.

"Minister, Aixinjueluo? Hongqing leads the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After being disturbed by Li Dequan, Hong Qing finally woke up from the shock, quickly restrained her distracted thoughts, and respectfully thanked her in accordance with the court regulations.

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord."

After Hong Qing got up, Li Dequan hurried forward with the imperial edict in his hand, expressing joy with a flattering smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Li, why don't you go inside and rest?"

Even though she was very puzzled by the old man's weird decree, at this moment, Hong Qing didn't dare to ask casually, so she could only take the edict handed over by Li Dequan with both hands, which was very embarrassing. He politely made an invitation and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but your majesty is still waiting for an answer, this old slave really dare not delay, my lord, please stop, this old slave is leaving."

Li Dequan's reply was very polite, but it was just polite, once the words of refusal were finished, Hong Qing didn't give another chance to persuade her to stay, and led the two young eunuchs away in a hurry.

Damn it, this old guy is fast enough!

Hong Qing originally wanted to get some news out of Li Dequan's mouth, but she didn't expect the old eunuch to slip away without a trace. In desperation, Hong Qing could only curse secretly.

"The child kowtowed to the father and king."

The old man's decree came so strangely, Hong Qing didn't dare to be presumptuous, no matter whether it was to resign or accept it calmly, it had to be discussed with the third master, and because of this, when Li Dequan left, Hong Qing That is to say, he entered Prince Cheng's mansion through the side door, rushed to the study room, asked Mo Yu and others to invite the third master and Chen and Li's two counselors to come and discuss how to deal with it. Hurry up, on the contrary, it was the master, the third master, who arrived last. He walked into the study room, yawning again and again, obviously not in a good mood, but Hong Qing didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and rushed to the front Go, pay homage and pay homage in an orderly manner.

"Forget it, call Ama here at noon, but what's the matter?"

After living without a job for more than two years, the third master is obviously much more lazy than before, and because he has indulged a little bit, he looks older than in previous years. Although he is only 43, his body is already There was a faint air of twilight, and his mouth was broken a lot, no, knowing that Hong Qing invited him so urgently, something big must happen, but the third master still couldn't help but complain.

Looking at the slightly aged face of the third master, Hong Qing couldn't help but feel worried for a while, there is nothing else, if the third master's body can't hold on, Yu Hongqing said, it's really going to be old It's a matter of fate, but as a son of man, it's not good for Hong Qing to talk about the third master's indulgence, so she can only pray that the third master can last longer than the old man, if not, Hong Qing can only go "Xuanwu" "Change of the Gate", but this is the biggest taboo among taboos, Hong Qing does not want to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Returning to Ama, the thing is like this. Li Dequan came earlier and passed on the edict of Huangma Fa, saying that he was to be the chief examiner of this subject. He didn't know why, so he didn't dare to make a decision, so he asked Ama to tell him what to do."

Although Hong Qing was muttering in her heart, she didn't bring it to her face. Instead, she bowed respectfully and hurriedly explained the old man's decree.

"What? Examiner, you..."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the third master's drowsiness disappeared immediately, his eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Hong Qing with a strange expression on his face, and asked half of what he said suspiciously.

"So that my father can know that this is what Huang Mafa's imperial decree said."

Hong Qing was not at all surprised by the surprised look of the third master, there was no one else, probably because he himself was also puzzled, and really couldn't understand why the old man issued such an edict so well.

"So it's true?"

Even though Hong Qing has confirmed it again, the third master still doesn't believe it, nothing else, this decree is really unbelievable, even the third master himself dare not say that he can be the chief examiner of the imperial examination, let alone It is said that Hong Qing has never been particularly outstanding in literary affairs, but in terms of qualifications, the two palaces combined, only Old Master Chen is qualified.

"Indeed."

Hong Qing nodded dumbfoundingly, and confirmed once again full of helplessness.

"Hmm... Master, Zicheng, do you two have any opinions on this?"

After Hong Qing repeatedly confirmed it, the third master did not doubt the authenticity of the matter, but he was at a loss as to the intention of the old man. He frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason. Now, in desperation, he could only throw the question to Chen and Li, the two counselors.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates think this is a good thing."

Chen and Li only knew about it a little earlier than the third master. When they first heard about it, they were equally astonished. Fortunately, with a period of buffer, they can be regarded as stable. While the third master and his son were talking, the two of them had already thought of some reasons. The difference was that Old Master Chen was not in a hurry to explain, while Li Minquan was willing to show off. No, the third master's words had just finished , Li Minquan gave a conclusion first with a smile on his face.

"Good thing? This..."

Li Minquan was very sure of what he said, but the third master was at a loss as to what was wrong, his frowning brows did not relax...
