The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

This time Enke is the first imperial examination after Emperor Jingde ascended the throne. Everyone knows that there must be a few people who graduate from this subject will become Emperor Jingde's confidantes. Seeing his political inclinations, not only the new imperial examinations, but also the old fritters in the court and the central government are also paying close attention to the results of this imperial examination.

But Emperor Jingde made an unexpected decree, saying that in order to show the fairness and justice of the imperial examination process, all the students who won the imperial examination will have their papers posted.But because there are 410 three people who won the exam this time, there are a lot of people, and the wall for pasting the papers is only so long, so only a small part will be posted every day.On the first day, the top three papers were naturally posted, almost as soon as the test came out, the top three papers appeared on the wall for everyone to judge.

Although some literati said this, but after reading the papers of the top three, everyone had to admit that this scientific examination was indeed extremely fair, at least the top three really deserved their names.Especially for Huiyuan's papers, Mr. Wen Jin's title is not for nothing, not to mention the content of the article, just by looking at it at first glance, the fluent and comfortable handwriting is much better than others.

When Jia Lin knew this, Zhou and Qin Shu (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?) had already got together affectionately, thinking about how to celebrate.The Zhou family was a bit restrained at first, but seeing that Qin Shu meant to make a big deal, she was not polite.

Seeing Zhou's and Qin Shu's high spirits, Jia Lin interrupted their discussion dumbfounded: "There is still April palace examination, and I don't know what the result will be. It's too early for you to talk about it now." Some."

"How can this be considered early..." Zhou frowned, looking at Jia Lin as if she was looking at an ignorant child, "My son was Xie Yuan first, and now Hui Yuan, if I can get another one in the palace examination... …Sanyuan Jidi is a great joy, not to mention the current dynasty, even the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty. After thousands of years, there are not many to be found! How can we not celebrate well?! My son should not feel that I am frivolous for my mother, but if my son is really lucky, even if there is no movement in our house, others will come to the door... At that time, if we are not prepared, we will be rude in front of others."

Qin Shu nodded, agreeing with Zhou's point of view very much.

Jia Lin smiled wryly, and said, "It can be seen that neither of you listened to Xiao Qi's reply just now."

"Why didn't you hear it? Xiaoqi's report is good news. I listened to it three times carefully for my mother! I am really thankful, and the Bodhisattva blesses me."

"Now, my test paper has been posted, and it is up to someone to judge, do you know?" Jia Lin reminded from the side.

Qin Shu quickly said: "You don't have to worry about it, there is a saying, real gold is not afraid of fire."

"That's right, that's right!" Originally, Zhou also wanted to say this sentence, but Qin Shu said it first, so he hurriedly agreed.

The tacit appearance of this "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" made Jia Lin laugh in her heart, but he still explained carefully: "How do people see me now? I mean those family members. In their eyes, I am first-class man." And Yiyun Qiwei, and then Mr. Wenjin, behind me is related to Qin Shu, the son of King Zhongrui, and the supervision office under the command of King Zhongrui. Now, the emperor is so famous for me, will others think that the emperor Are you taking the opportunity to win over Qin Shu and King Zhongrui behind Qin Shu? And these plausible news just need to be delivered to the Supreme Emperor... So I say let's not be too happy, the emperor can't be the master of the Supreme Emperor yet . " Since there was no one else in the room, and there were confidantes guarding outside the room, Jia Lin spoke a little casually.

Zhou was shocked.Sooner or later, Mrs. Zhou will go out to socialize. In the past two years, besides learning the rules, she has also learned a lot of other things. Now she is a housewife, and she also understands how the faction of King Zhongyi (the third prince) is about to move.After a while, Mrs. Zhou murmured: "Could it be that my son is wrong... Maybe the emperor just wants to clear the examination discipline, and my son happens to be the leader of this subject..."

"The key now is not what the emperor thinks, but what those people think." Jia Lin said, but he still gave Emperor Jingde a hard time in his heart.I also know that Emperor Jingde must have some kind of plan again, but he pulled Jia Lin out to be a target, it is really hateful!

Qin Shu said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, real gold is not afraid of fire, if you pass the palace examination and you are not the number one scholar, then I will risk being punished by the emperor, and I will ask the emperor to take out the number one scholar's paper and fight with you." The comparison is the same, and if the Supreme Emperor covers the sky with one hand, he will never be able to stop the mouth of the world." He said this very domineeringly.

Jia Lin suddenly felt a flash of light in her mind—could it be Qin Shu's right idea? Could it be that Emperor Jingde made this idea?

Although the Taishanghuang has been deliberately showing his love and righteousness—maybe he himself was moved by the illusion he created—but in fact he is very selfish in his bones.For example, in the matter of Qin Shu, Princess Min Rou went, but he did not do anything to Princess Qingling because the eldest princess, but directly made Qin Shu, who was still in his infancy, his son. After that, he consciously I'm sorry for Princess Min Rou, I've been ignoring Qin Shu ever since.For example, in the matter of the eldest princess, the Supreme Emperor respected the eldest princess, so he even indulged her daughter and granddaughter, but once the eldest princess left, before the fourth or ninth day, the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty (the eldest princess) His son-in-law, the father of Princess Qingling) was beaten to the end, and Princess Huaiyu (daughter of the eldest princess) died of illness (in fact, she was poisoned).

For another example, in the matter of the successor, the successor is a daughter of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, but she is only a collateral.At that time, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xuanzheng was already very tense, and the Empress Dowager's family was reluctant to let their direct daughters come in and suffer, and they didn't want to give up the queen's position to others, so they chose the current successor, and the successor has been keeping himself safe since entering the palace.After the queen mother passed away, Emperor Xuanzheng did not abolish the successor, so he thought that he was benevolent and righteous, and felt that the successor should be grateful to himself. Go there.

Emperor Jingde was raised by his successors since he was a child. He saw the suffering of his biological mother and adoptive mother since he was a child.Now, King Zhongyi was about to make a move, and Emperor Jingde didn't want to bear the notoriety of murder, so he could only design Emperor Xuanzheng to bear the charge of murdering his son—he had already forced the former prince to death anyway, and the third prince was no different.

Otherwise, how could Emperor Jingde allow the Supreme Emperor to be so comfortable?

And now, Jia Lin is the knife in Emperor Jingde's hand.Jia Lin didn't know whether to laugh that she was valued by the emperor, or to laugh bitterly that she would have to do all kinds of offending things in the future.

Seeing Jia Lin standing silently at the side, Qin Shu thought he was still worried, and said, "Don't worry, I'm telling the truth. I always know you are talented, and I won't let you suffer for nothing." injustice."

Jia Lin felt warm and said, "I believe in you. However, don't be impulsive. If the emperor has plans in mind, he will always give me an explanation. You also know that now he is the emperor first and then the emperor." Your little uncle. I have been relying on this big tree of yours to enjoy the shade, if you fall down, what can I do?" The latter words are obviously a bit of a joke.

"I understand." In fact, Qin Shu has never called Shuiyun uncle, he has always been very clear about his identity, and has never deliberately begged for anything based on Princess Minrou's kindness to Shuiyun.

Jia Lin guessed right. Emperor Jingde's "creativity" of revealing the answers to the questions was really to limit the power in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.As mentioned earlier, this is the first imperial examination after Emperor Jingde ascended the throne. Emperor Jingde has long disliked those old officials. The layout of the church will be rewritten.And in this way, the power in the hands of the Supreme Emperor was further weakened.The Supreme Emperor was naturally unwilling.Therefore, the Supreme Emperor originally wanted to promote a few descendants of the aristocratic family in this batch of candidates. Since they were descendants of the aristocratic family, they were inextricably linked with the veterans who were loyal to the Supreme Emperor.The Jin Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and these newcomers will still be pinched by the Supreme Emperor because of the elders in the family.

And the actions of Emperor Jingde made the students all over the world know that this imperial examination is absolutely fair—unless someone writes it on behalf of someone—since the papers will be made public at the end, even the Supreme Emperor cannot disregard the people in the world. After the palace test, arrange the few people who have already been selected in your heart to the front.In this way, although the rankings of the few people that Emperor Jingde valued before are not high or low (for example, Tang Ze, Emperor Jingde knows a little about Tang Ze because he cooperated with Tangmen when he was still the prince. But Tang Ze is a good person, and the content of the article is also good, which is very in line with Emperor Jingde's wishes, but the writing is too plain, and the essay style and handwriting can only rank in the top three, not even the second. Knowing that he is already ranked in the heart of the new emperor), but Emperor Jingde would rather the people in the first and second ranks are bookworms who can only read, and he is not willing to let people who are close to the emperor's family get benefits.

Fortunately, although Emperor Jingde caused some troubles to Jia Lin, he did compensate Jia Lin.Although the compensation did not directly fall on Jia Lin, it made Jia Lin feel happier when it was given to the Zhou family than if it was given to Jia Lin herself.
