Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, blowing out half of the lights and candles in the square.Tao

The flag not far away swayed a few times in the wind, and then snapped in the middle.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Zhen staggered and fell to the ground, unconscious.

This change happened very quickly, in the flash of lightning. All the civil and military officials present were dumbfounded for a moment, and they all knelt on the ground in fear.

"His Majesty!"

"Is your Majesty's dragon body okay?"

"I waited for ten thousand years to die, but I failed to notice this strong wind and disturbed the Holy Master. Please forgive me!"

All the officials were chattering away, making the scene as noisy as a vegetable market. Officials are also mortals. When encountering such a thing all of a sudden, they would inevitably feel panicked and uneasy.Tao

Officials below the third rank did not dare to leave their positions easily to inquire and inquire. They all knelt down to plead guilty first.

In the end, Han Zhang, the chief assistant of Longtuge, came out to take charge of the overall situation. Han Zhang first stepped forward to check Zhao Zhen's condition, and then immediately asked the chamberlain to send the unconscious Zhao Zhen to Duancheng Hall, and invited the imperial physician for consultation and treatment. .

Except for a few important ministers such as three bachelors, six ministers, and Hanlin bachelors, the other officials, including the two princes, were dispersed and went to their residences in the palace to rest temporarily.

In the chaos, Sheng Hong found Sheng Changbai through the crowd. Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Sheng Hong felt relieved and returned to his residence with Sheng Changbai.

On the way back, I happened to see several officials looking gloomy, as if they were mourning for their heirs, and they were mumbling something.

"The strong wind is shaking and the ritual cannot be completed. This is a sign of great disaster!"

When Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai heard this, they turned to look at each other, their eyelids twitching, unable to conceal their horror.Tao

Chapter 260

Since Dong Zhongshu founded the theory of the induction of heaven and man, everyone from the emperor to the common people believed that God could induce human affairs and predict disasters.drunk

During the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, a sudden strong wind not only broke the flags, but also frightened the holy driver. As a result, Zhao Zhen is still unconscious. It is difficult not to think that it was a sin sent down by heaven.

For a moment, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai felt a sense of crisis about to come.

Sheng Changbai looked back at the square. Most of the officials had dispersed. Only King Yong and King Yan still insisted on kneeling outside the palace, looking filial.

But everyone knows that their hearts are already as lively as beating gongs and drums.

They have been registered as princes and have the right to inherit. If something happens to Zhao Zhen, they will be the ones to benefit the most, but I don't know which one of them it will be.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhao Zhen's illness affects the hearts of millions of people.drunk

I don't know how many people were waiting with their ears perked for the news coming out of Duancheng Hall.

The emperor is in danger, the throne may change hands, and the political situation is undergoing drastic changes. In this process, there are both good opportunities to ascend to the sky and disasters to the sky.

Anyway, the Sheng family will never get involved, neither Sheng Hong nor Sheng Changbai.

The next day, under the acupuncture and medicine given by the imperial doctor, Zhao Zhen woke up leisurely, which finally made Han Zhang and others waiting in the palace feel relieved.

However, although Zhao Zhen was awake, his body was still weak. He only summoned Han Zhang and a few other ministers and then saw no one else.

Not long after, a decree came from the Duancheng Palace. The ceremony was to be discontinued today, and the emperor was immediately driven back to the palace. When the emperor's health improved, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven could be held at a later date.

Before setting off, King Yong asked him to accompany him to serve Zhao Zhen in his daily life, but Zhao Zhen did not refuse.drunk

Queen Yan realized what she was doing and wanted to accompany him, but it was too late.

"Today, there will be chaos..."

On the way back to the city, Sheng Hong looked at the gloomy sky and suddenly sighed to his son.

Sheng Changbai nodded in agreement.Even if Zhao Zhen survives this test, the ministers will definitely no longer trust his physical condition after this incident.

This also means that the long-delayed crown prince matter will be put on the agenda again.

Moreover, this time, Zhao Zhen had no excuse to shirk.

After Zhao Zhen, who can ascend to Dabao will be revealed soon.drunk

At present, it seems that King Yong has the upper hand, while King Yan is slightly behind.

But until the last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.

After returning home to Bianjing, Sheng Hong called his son Sheng Changfeng and told him: "These days, stay at home and prepare for the exam. Don't go out casually, let alone cause trouble."

Sheng Changfeng nodded in agreement. Now, under Wei Chen's earnest guidance, his temperament has changed drastically. He is focused on the upcoming spring and has no time to go out and have fun.

After giving instructions to his son, Sheng Hong thought for a moment and asked someone to go to the Wei Mansion to invite his future son-in-law Wei Chen.

Wei Chen also heard about what happened yesterday, and he already knew the current situation. He also knew the reason why Sheng Hong asked him to come, it was just to tell him not to get involved.

Wei Chen nodded in agreement in front of Sheng Hong, but he had other concerns in his heart.drunk

He has been working hard in Yuzhou for two and a half years. Wouldn't it be a pity if he couldn't use it in the end?

...

Besides, as long as you plan properly, there may not be any danger.

After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, there were undercurrents surging in Bianjing City, but they were mostly intrigues in the officialdom. As long as the dynasty had not changed, it would not affect the move to Beijing to take the exam for the time being.

God bless the ninth year, the ninth day of February.

The triennial Spring Festival was held as scheduled.

Qi Heng and Sheng Changfeng each had family members to take the exams, but Gu Tingye was the only one who had not reconciled with his family yet.

Wei Chen looked at Gu Tingye and saw how pitiful he was, so he personally sent him outside the Gongyuan Courtyard, said a few words of blessing and encouragement to him, and told him to focus on the exam and not do anything based on his will.drunk

Gu Tingye glanced at Wei Chen in surprise when he heard this, and then nodded silently.

He has been practicing in Yuzhou for more than two years, and is used to seeing monsters and monsters in the world. He is no longer the passionate and impulsive young scholar. He knows what is important and what is important.

When Wei Chen saw this, he felt a little more generous. He had read Gu Tingye's recent articles and found that the progress was indeed not small. As long as he performed normally and made no mistakes, he should be able to pass the Jinshi.

To be honest, Wei Chen didn't expect that Gu Tingye would reach this point.

Wei Chen suddenly looked forward to Gu Tingye's future. What kind of disturbance a military general with a Jinshi background would stir up in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After saying goodbye to Gu Tingye, Wei Chen turned around and walked towards home. At this time, someone with sharp eyes shouted: "Six Yuan Lang!"

Suddenly a large group of people turned to look at Wei Chen, their eyes flashing with green light, which was the look of the big bad wolf when he saw the little white rabbit.drunk

Hurala!

After a while, hundreds of candidates heard the news and rushed toward Wei Chen.

The candidates crowded in front hurriedly stretched out their hands and touched Wei Chen's head, neck, chest, arms, belly... and other unspeakable parts.

"Liu Yuanlang, don't leave, let me touch him!"

"Have a touch of Liu Yuanlang's immortal energy and bless Xiaosheng Nangong to win the title!"

"I'll come first, I'll come first!"

"Just a moment, please, I really only want to touch you, anywhere!"

"Hey, hey hey hey!"

Seeing the candidates rushing towards him like crazy men, Wei Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Only then did he wake up. At this moment, he ran to the Gongyuan in a swagger. It was like a wolf entering a tiger's mouth!

Fortunately, Wei Chen reacted quickly enough, revealed his identity and official position in time, and called in a large number of sergeants to help maintain order. Otherwise, he might have been trampled to death by the enthusiastic candidates before he could marry Rulan Minglan. Here it is.

After finally escaping from the gate of Gongyuan, Wei Chen returned home. When he saw the pair of big red lanterns with the word "WE" hanging in front of the door, he felt a little bit like he was surviving a disaster.

There are three nine-day exams, and the candidates living in them live like years, but to outsiders, it is just an ordinary nine days, passing by in the blink of an eye.

Wei Chen no longer cares about it after leaving Gongyuan. No matter whether he wins or not, he can't change anything now. It all depends on the performance of Gu Tingye, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng.drunk

On February [-]th, the Spring Festival ended, and the candidates walked out of Gongyuan one after another.

Wei Chen caught Gu Tingye, a wealthy businessman, and beat him to death. He also brought along Sheng Changfeng and Qi Heng, who had just finished their exams.

When Gu Tingye heard about Wei Chen's encounter at the gate of the Gongyuan that day, he immediately burst into laughter. Seeing Wei Chen's ugly face, he changed his mind and said that he would give Wei Chen a big red envelope as compensation on Wei Chen's wedding day.

Only then did Wei Chen feel satisfied.

The wedding was approaching, and Wei Chen, who was enjoying his wedding leave, left all the renovation and relocation of the wedding house to his staff, and actually had a rare period of leisure.

Wei Chen spent the whole day hanging out with Gu Tingye, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng who had finished their exams. Gu Tingye, a famous stubborn man in Bianjing, took them all over Bianjing to eat, drink and have fun. desire.

This continues until February 29th.drunk

Will try to list.

Chapter 261

On February 28, the day when the examination results were released, the spring rain continued.

Thin raindrops fell on the newly sprouted leaves without a sound. Only the water flowing down from the eaves splashed on the bluestone in the corner.

The tidy and solemn Dazhou Gongyuan was not disturbed by the rain at all, and returned to the bustle of half a month ago. It was full of scholars wearing t-shirts and square scarves.

Of course, there were more people who looked like book boys and followers. These people gathered in front of the screen wall outside the Gongyuan, waiting anxiously.

This also made it cheaper for the shops in the nearby streets. The candidates who had a little money did not want to lose face in front of the same year, so they all sat in the teahouse and restaurant, ordered a pot of fragrant tea and a few snacks, and elegantly waited for the moment when the results were announced. arrival.

In the largest restaurant on the south side of the street, the hall is full of candidates. According to different regions, they sit together and are clearly separated.Among them are some famous talents.

On this occasion, it is normal for township parties to flatter each other and make each other famous.

While they are concerned about their own future, candidates from various provinces are secretly competing to see which province has a higher ranking and which province has admitted more people.

Especially Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi, which are major provinces in science and technology, each subject must recommend a few recognized talents to represent the province in the competition with other provinces.

At this time, the most popular person in the restaurant hall was Zheng Xian, a candidate from Zhejiang Province. Under the hard praise of his Zhejiang compatriots, he seemed to be the second most talented person in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No matter how high Zheng Xian thought of himself, he did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and call himself the most talented scholar of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already made a public decision as to who should own this throne.

However, this does not affect Zheng Xian's good mood at this time. After all, becoming No. 1 under Mr. Xingyun is really not a shameful thing, but a rare honor.

Zheng Xian himself had read "Tanwenlu", which is known as the imperial examination treasure book, and benefited a lot from it. Naturally, he knew that the level of Wei Chen's writing was far beyond his own.

At the unanimous request of everyone, Zheng Xian, who had a superb memory, recited the first article of his examination, which made everyone present marvel. He was the one who became the first member of the Jinke Association.

Facing the praise from everyone, Zheng Xian was humble, but he was also quite proud in his heart.
