Today's morning has been delayed until the end of the afternoon.
And the Nangong family, who had closed the door to thank guests for many days, had not had time to inquire about the results, so they welcomed a charming guest - Pei Yuanchen, Nangong Chen's husband-in-law. At this moment, he was talking with Nangong Sheng in Nangong Mu's study. Naturally, it's all about a case of fraud.
The atmosphere in the study was a little dignified.
"Father-in-law has always been upright, and when he leaks the question, it's nothing at all," Pei Yuanchen said sternly, "There must be a possibility of turning around!"
Nangong Mu, who was sitting next to Pei Yuanchen, sighed with a wry smile. He couldn't be as optimistic as Pei Yuanchen, nor was Nangong Sheng.
Pei Yuanchen is also a smart person, he noticed it immediately and asked tentatively, "Second uncle, eldest brother, what else is behind this matter?"
Nangong Mu and Nangong Sheng looked at each other, and then Nangong Mu said: "Yuanchen, this matter is too involved," there was a strong sense of helplessness in his tone, "I know that you are contacting the courtiers recently to prepare for the performance. The Nangong family has written down your thoughts, but you must not be impatient, this matter must be slowed down for a while... or stop it first, and then take a look. If there is a chance for things to turn around, you can try to help push One, otherwise, don't even plant the Jian'anbo House in it..."
If there is still a chance for this matter to turn around, Pei Yuanchen pushes it to meet the holy will. But if the emperor intends to use the Nangong family to quell the dispute, and Pei Yuanchen raises the army to move the crowd, then the emperor is afraid that the Nangong family is forming a party for personal gain, gathering the crowd to coerce the holy car, and if it is not done, it will also affect the construction of the Anbo mansion.
Hearing Nangong Mu speak so seriously, Pei Yuanchen couldn't help but ponder.
Nangong Mansion is a civil minister, but Jian'anbo Mansion is an honorable person. Xungui went to serve under the shade, and it has nothing to do with the matter of the imperial examination... If there is something that will involve both Wenchen and Xungui, it is really true. There are only a handful of them, such as seizing the heir...
Thinking about it, Pei Yuanchen's complexion changed slightly, thinking about the matter of the three county kings, and the matter of establishing the crown prince.
This really needs to be handled with care.
"Second uncle, nephew-in-law understands." Pei Yuanchen solemnly agreed.
There was a hint of relief on Nangong Mu's face, and he said in his heart: Fortunately, my niece found a good son-in-law.
Nangong Sheng also curled his lips slightly, stood up, and clasped his fists cautiously: "Yuanchen, eldest sister, please!"
It was his duty to take care of his wife, and Pei Yuanchen was about to respond when there were messy footsteps outside, mixed with panting shouts: "Second master... Jin... Jin Yiwei is here... Jin Yiwei is here again. !"
The three men in the study all looked condensed and went out, but when they saw a servant hurriedly running, the servant saluted and anxiously said: "Second master, eldest young master, Jin Yiwei is here. , has been surrounded outside the mansion, saying that it is going to be searched."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a team of Jinyi Weiwei walking towards this side not far away, led by Lu Huaining.
Lu Huaining strode forward and clasped his fist at Nangong Mu politely: "Mr. Nangong Mu, I came here to search by the emperor's order. I have offended you, please forgive me."
There is no way to escape the disaster. Nangong Mu sighed in his heart. Up to now, Nangong Mansion is just a small boat in this turbulent sea, and I don't know where it will drift. .
Lu Huaining looked at Pei Yuanchen again and said, "Prince Pei, the emperor has a life, temporarily seal the Nangong Mansion, Shizi Pei please come back."
Pei Yuanchen hesitated for a moment, the current situation seems to be extremely unfavorable for the Nangong family, so he should go back and discuss with his father.
Thinking of this, he gave Nangong Mu and Nangong Sheng a long bow, and then left Nangong Mansion under the leadership of a Jin Yiwei.
For the Nangong family, this wave of storms has only just begun, and at best it can only be regarded as cloudy and strong winds...
The eyes of the various palaces in the capital were watching the movements of the Nangong Palace secretly, either watching, worrying, suspicious, gloating or malicious.
Half an hour later, Lu Huaining left again with a troop of Jinyi Wei, entered the palace again, and went to the imperial study to return to the emperor.
The emperor listened to Lu Huaining's remarks, and waved his hand sullenly to let him back off. Only the emperor and Eunuch Liu who was serving were left in the imperial study.
The emperor couldn't hold his face any longer, and sighed helplessly.
It is said that the emperor is the son of the emperor and the master of the world, but who can know the helplessness of being an emperor...
In fact, the emperor did not believe that Nangong Qin dared to cheat in Enke for personal gain, and he also wanted to keep Nangong Mansion!
Nangong's family is the head of Shilin, and he was originally the assistant minister he chose for Xiao Wu. Nangong Hu was also Xiao Wu's companion. The emperor can imagine that if there are no accidents, in the future, after Xiao Wu successfully ascends the throne, Xiao Wu and Nangong Xin will definitely be able to spread a good story about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, which will be loved by future generations...
But now, the situation has reached this point, and the Nangong family is in jeopardy...
If something really happened to the Nangong family, what would Nangong Yue, the princess of Zhennan, who is far away in the southern border, think?
Zhennan Wangfu has always been a knot in the emperor's heart. Originally, Nangong Yue married into Zhennan Wangfu. With Nangong's family in the capital as a buffer, Zhennan Wangfu would inevitably have scruples...
However, these people have been making trouble again and again, causing the court to be in turmoil.
Thinking, the emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he rubbed the tangled eyebrows, feeling a dull pain in his forehead.
The imperial examination is to select talents for the country, and for those literati students, it is also an opportunity to change their fate, whether it is a once-in-a-lifetime success, so fraud is an untouchable scale for them. If this fraud cannot be quelled and the world cannot be given an explanation, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world... In the end, it will shake the hearts of the people and affect the government.
The consequences could be disastrous!
Now the situation is getting more and more tense. If you don't control it, it will be a catastrophe for Dayu, which will shake the country.
In order to suppress the resentment and injustice in the hearts of the court and the students, he could only cut his wrists—
Only at the expense of the Nangong family!
Although it was a pity, he was helpless.
As an emperor, the most important thing is the way of balance!
In just a short tea time, the emperor's complexion changed indefinitely, from the original indecision to the decision at this moment.
At this moment, a small servant walked into the imperial study, and respectfully presented the book in his hand with both hands, saying that Nangong Qin Gang, who was in the Heavenly Prison, put up the book.
Nangong Qin's excerpt? ! The emperor's expression was a bit complicated, thinking that he had just made a decision, and was about to instruct the little servant to put the book aside, but he heard the little servant continue: "Your Majesty, Lord Nangong said that he can prove that Jinke has recruited scholars. It's fair..."
The little maid held the book up high, not daring to look up at the emperor's face.
The emperor's eyes sank slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Bring it to me for a look."
The little servant first handed the book to Eunuch Liu, and Eunuch Liu then presented it to the emperor's imperial case.
After the emperor opened the book, he only glanced at it, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression became a little subtle. Even Eunuch Liu, who believed that he knew the emperor eight or nine points, could not see through the emperor's joy and anger at this moment.
It was quiet in the imperial study, and the little servant naturally knew that the emperor was in a bad mood because of the recent fraud case, so he waited tremblingly, not even daring to breathe.
After a while, the emperor closed the book and instructed Eunuch Liu, who was standing beside him, "Huairen, the order goes on, it is said that the Palace Examination of Jinke will be held in three days, and then the answer sheets of the Palace Examination will be copied by several great scholars and published in the Gongyuan Academy. …”
"Yes, Your Majesty." At the same time as the answer, Eunuch Liu's face inevitably showed a bit of surprise. I didn't expect that the fraud case had not been finalized yet, but the Emperor wanted to hold a palace exam at this time, which seemed to put the cart before the horse. I don't know what Nangong Qin's excerpts wrote that made the emperor move this idea...
The emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and continued: "Although the exam has ended, the palace exam has not yet begun. Whether the students who are on the list have real talents and knowledge, I can actually give it a try. Those students will suspect that the examiner is cheating, and they will not. Do you suspect that I am greedy for profit?"
As long as the palace exam is held, it will be clear whether those students cheated in the Enke meeting, and it can also calm the disturbance in the court and Shilin, and stop their mouths!
Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered to retreat.
Eunuch Liu served closely by the emperor's side. Of course, he saw the emperor's entanglements in the past few days. This time, if he can really find the best of both worlds, whether it is for Dayu, Chaotang, or Nangong Mansion, It's all a blessing!
Leaving the emperor bowed his head and looked at the document on the imperial case, and murmured: "Since the fraud case came out, none of the civil and military people in the whole dynasty could give me an idea. In the end, it was Nangong Qin..."
That faint sigh of emotion disappeared in the imperial study in an instant...
The emperor's decree went down, and the students who were kneeling in front of the palace gate made a commotion again, whispering to each other.
As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk and you'll know!
Although the emperor's decree did not completely satisfy the students, it made them calm down a lot. Most people felt that this was not a solution.
If there is any fraud, we will know after the palace test!
The students scattered in twos and threes, and it didn't take long for the crowded palace gate to become empty again...
The news of the emperor's decree to continue the palace exam quickly reached Han Lingfu's ears, including the fact that the students who had been surrounding the palace gate had dispersed.
Hearing this, Han Lingfu, who was drinking tea, froze in his hands and almost dropped the celadon tea cup in his hand.
He clearly arranged everything well, and it only took one breath to make it happen, but I didn't expect such a change!
How could the royal father suddenly think of holding a palace exam on the cusp of this storm? !
Originally, he also thought that Zhu Yushi would take advantage of the victory in the courtroom tomorrow morning, and formally convict Nangong Qin of cheating, so that he and the entire Nangong family would not be able to turn around completely, but he did not expect that the original victory was in his hands. out of control...
Han Lingfu's hand holding the tea cup subconsciously exerted a little force, his brows furrowed, and he was so angry that he was furious...
Xiao Lizi looked at Han Lingfu's forehead, and said cautiously, "My lord, what should we do now?"
Han Lingfu put down the tea Gu, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "Who is Jinke Huiyuan?"
Xiao Lizi hurriedly replied: "Huang Hetai is the leader of Jingzhou, and he is a straw bag. The servant has some articles he has done before. Would you like to read it?"
Han Lingfu gestured to Xiao Lizi to bring this person's article.
The article is about the reduction of taxes. In this article, Huang Hetai praised the prosperous and prosperous world created by the late emperor and the present. He suggested that the abuses of the previous dynasties should be used as a mirror for governance. Now the imperial court should reduce taxes and lighten the burden on the common people.
It is written with gorgeous words, but it has nothing to say, avoiding the important and the light, without fundamentally analyzing how to reduce the tax, the impact on the court after the tax reduction and the drawbacks, and how to solve the follow-up problems...
Han Lingfu only read half of it, and then put the article aside, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the corner of his mouth drew a sarcastic arc.
This person is indeed a sham. If he hadn't learned about the exam questions beforehand, let alone Huiyuan, it would have been impossible to get a title on the gold list.
As long as this Huang Hetai goes to the palace examination, he will definitely make a fool of himself in front of his father, then the article written by this person in the palace examination will become irrefutable evidence, and Nangong Qin will not be able to escape the "fraud and favoritism"!
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu felt relieved, and ordered Xiao Lizi to serve.
Seeing that the master was in a good mood, Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared the pen and ink skillfully.
After pondering for a while, Han Lingfu wrote a letter to Han Lingguan, the second emperor's brother, in a hurry. There were only a few sentences in the letter, just instructing Han Lingguan to wait for the palace test, and let Yushi Zhu take advantage of the victory to kill the Nangong family.
Han Lingfu read the letter again, and cocked the corners of his mouth proudly. He was about to let Xiao Lizi dry the ink, but when the words came to his mouth, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated by two beats, and a strange coldness filled his heart. As if his internal organs were soaked in ice water, his body trembled violently...
"boom!"
The tea cup in his hand fell from his fingers, fell to the ground and smashed into countless pieces, hot tea and broken porcelain pieces splashed out, and the study was in a mess.
It was only then that Xiao Lizi realized that something was wrong with Han Lingfu. He was still sitting behind the desk, but his face was as pale as paper, his fingers were shaking like chaff, his breathing was like a cow's panting, heavy and long...
"Hu-hu-"
With the heavy breathing, Han Lingfu's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Xiao Lizi was anxious and asked nervously: "My lord, what's wrong with you? But where is the discomfort?"
Han Lingfu is a martial arts practitioner and has always been in good health. Seeing that he was suddenly so weak, Xiao Li suddenly panicked, "My lord, this servant will call for an imperial doctor..."
"Wait...wait!" Han Lingfu almost used all his strength to stop Xiao Lizi, his robes already soaked in cold sweat. Xiao Lizi didn't know what was going on, but Han Lingfu knew it.
Since he had doubts in his heart a few days ago, he secretly poured out the soup that Bai Muxiao boiled for him. One day, two days, three days... His body became more and more uncomfortable, more and more uncomfortable, often. I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart palpitated, and I couldn't sleep anymore...
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, the answer that made him unbelievable and heart-wrenching, but he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he was wrong.
Now, he can no longer escape!
The truth was already in front of his eyes.
"My lord..." Xiao Lizi hurriedly supported Han Lingfu's shaky body, looked at the master worriedly, and always felt that the master's illness seemed to be complicated...
Han Lingfu took two breaths, gritted his back molars, and said, "Come on, go and invite a doctor over here..."
"Yes, my lord." Xiao Lizi responded, hurried out of the study, and ordered a guard to rush to quietly invite Imperial Doctor Liao.
The guard took the order to leave, and Xiao Lizi went back to the study, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger: Imperial Doctor Liao was familiar with the prince, and since the prince ordered Imperial Doctor Liao to come over, he just didn't want his illness to be recorded by the Imperial Hospital. ...
Lord, what is the reason for his illness? !
For Han Lingfu, the waiting time has become so difficult. He feels as if his whole body has never been so uncomfortable. It seems that there are countless insects biting him in the bones of his limbs, so he can't wait...
His fingernails were digging deep into the palm of his hand, almost bleeding from the bite between his teeth.
"My lord, how about the servant help you to take a break on the Arhat bed..." Xiao Lizi suggested cautiously.
Han Lingfu shook his head, his body almost shrunk in discomfort...
After a stick of incense, Imperial Physician Liao finally came panting with a medicine box, and was about to bow when he heard Han Lingfu say with difficulty: "No need to be too polite, just take a look for the king!"
Seeing that Han Lingfu's face was pale, the few imperial physicians immediately obeyed, sitting on a round stool beside the desk, and extending three fingers to take Han Lingfu's pulse...
The study became quiet, and Xiao Lizi wiped the sweat from Han Lingfu's forehead with a white towel from time to time. After the most uncomfortable moment, Han Lingfu seemed to have recovered a little, but his face was still pale without a trace of blood, and his breathing was heavy...
Under Han Lingfu's gloomy eyes that were as gloomy as an abyss, Imperial Doctor Lio's complexion changed slightly. After repeatedly checking his pulse, he blurted out in surprise, "Have you ever taken Wuhe ointment recently?!"
For a moment, the study was dead silent, so silent that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
Wuhe paste? ! It is really Wuhe paste!
Han Lingfu was horrified, and he didn't know whether it was panic or resentment...
How dare she, how could she, how could she!
Han Lingfu's fist clenched subconsciously, and after a while, he ordered Xiao Lizi to reward him and sent away the imperial doctor.
After being locked in the study for another quarter of an hour, Han Lingfu felt that his body was a little better, so he endured the discomfort and hurried back to the inner courtyard, and then went straight to the Xinghui Institute.
"My lord."
Bai Muxiao stood up and greeted her with a smile. She was wearing a moon-white plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum engraved silk robe, with a loose pine on her head.
However, looking at Han Lingfu's eyes at this time, he felt as if he had never known this woman!
Han Lingfu couldn't hold back the anger he had been suppressing, and asked sharply, "Tell me! What kind of soup are you drinking for this king?"
Han Lingfu stared at Bai Muxiao with red eyes, his face was a bit hideous, how could he still look like the gentle and jade-like Prince Gong in normal times!
Bai Muxiao was startled, then smiled: "My lord finally found it!"
The smile was as bright as a spring flower, as if it were a no-brainer.
She had known for a long time that this matter would not be hidden for long. Since she dared to do it, she was not afraid that Han Lingfu would find out.
What's more, Han Lingfu only found out now, it's too late!
"Snapped--"
In the next moment, a loud slap rang through the whole room, Bihen and Bi Luo gasped, but did not dare to step forward.
There was a red slap print on Bai Muxiao's snow-white cheeks, and even her cheeks were slightly swollen.
"You slut, I'm sorry I'm sorry, you dare to harm this king!" Han Lingfu was so angry that he pressed on his chest, making him almost breathless, and all kinds of feelings came over him.
Hate, anger, more heartache!
As if there was an invisible big palm tightly clutching his heart in the palm of his hand.
Han Lingfu thinks that he treats Bai Muxiao not badly, that she is the most important thing in everything, love her, pity her, pamper her, treat her like a jewel, for her, he has done so much, sacrificed so much...
But she treated him like this, and gave him a fatal blow secretly!
This woman is simply a wolf-hearted, wasting his true feelings in vain!
How could a mere slap defuse the anger in his heart, he raised his hand and slapped it again...
The first time is not guarding, the second time is not good, that is stupid! Bai Muxiao sneered in her heart, how could he succeed again, she avoided it with a twist.
She looked at Han Lingfu with contempt, and said, "Although those who make big things are informal, no man who hits women can make big things happen."
