Troubled Times Survival Raiders

For the Shen family, the seven years in Jianning lived in peace and tranquility.

The three brothers of the Shen family finally got rid of their filial piety last year. When Shen He came back from the farm, Shen Rong voluntarily gave up the house, but Shen He declined, and went to find a small courtyard for his family of four.

In the past, Shen's mansion had been changed to Marquis's mansion, and Shen Tai had rarely interacted with his elder brothers since the separation of the family. Shen Rong didn't know much about his current situation, nor did he know what happened to Qi Lang, so he was worried, but after all Now that the family is separated, Shen Rong also thinks about it a lot.

The couple lived alone, and it was inevitable that they would be lonely.Fortunately the King of Chu took pity on his wife and often allowed Shen Yue to return home, which also gave Shen Tai some comfort.

The first thing Shen Yu did after returning to Beijing was to visit the teacher.

After not coming for a long time, the Zhou Mansion is still deserted.Zhou Kuang took in a rare student with great difficulty, and got along with him day and night for a while, but unfortunately his family was separated for three years in a blink of an eye.However, Zhou Kuang is old, and it is not easy to work to visit the juniors.As soon as he saw Shen Yu coming to the door, he was about to stand up as soon as he pressed the table, and he suppressed his body, restraining the trembling of his arms.

Shen Yu bowed and made a big salute. "The later student Shen Yu pays respects to his mentor."

"Get up, get up!" Zhou Kuang finally couldn't help standing up, helped the student up with his own hands, and looked at him with pride and distress.He couldn't say anything, but he sighed with difficulty: "It can be counted back, it can be counted back."

"Teacher, the students brought you something." Shen Yu said.The wild game snacks he brought had already been handed over to the servants of the Zhou Mansion, and the ones he took out this time were to be handed over by himself.

In addition to meeting the teacher, Shen Yu also had a serious business to bring the fine seeds cultivated on the farm and related instructions to Zhou Kuang.

He mentioned this matter briefly in his letter before, and Zhou Kuang knew it well after reading it.He still felt sorry for the students, but he could understand. "The old man will definitely hand it over to His Highness, you don't have to worry about it."

"Since you are back, you should go back to the Imperial College, study your books carefully, and get a good name in the exam. It will be convenient to do this. It will also comfort your ancestors." Zhou Kuang said again.

"What the teacher said is that the students also plan to return to China to study earlier." Shen Yu replied sincerely.

He has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he also misses the days when he was carefree in Guoxue and concentrated on his studies.

Shen Yu packed up her things and returned to Taixue.First, I went to Minglun Hall to meet Jijiu, Siye and other lecturers.He went to the funeral normally, and he had to keep his mourning for two more years. These people never made things difficult for him, and even praised him greatly.After Chen Zhong checked the school for a few words, he was still ordered to go to the original class.

It's just that Sun Wei has finished the election, entered the Menxia Province as a recorder, and left the Imperial College.In this section Zhou Kuang also mentioned in his letter that while Shen Yu regretted it, he was also happy for his senior brother.

But Shen Yu still saw some familiar faces: Guo Yi has already been admitted to Juren, but he has no chance for Chunwei.Also, many of their new teaching assistants were former classmates.

Guo Yi and Shen Yu hadn't seen each other for a long time. Guo Yi's eyes turned red when he saw a familiar figure stepping into the corridor.As soon as the assistant lecturer left, he hugged him and refused to lose him.

Shen Yu suppressed a smile and said: "Youzhi also overreacted. I often pass things to your house during the holidays, so why don't you throw them away? You are a person who is going to marry a wife, and you still behave like a child , isn't it appropriate?"

Guo Yi pushed him away fiercely, and scolded through gritted teeth: "It's a pity that I still miss you, you heartless, what are you talking about?"

After cursing, he still held onto Shen Yu's arm tightly and refused to let go.

The rest of the students, whether they knew each other or not, laughed out loud.

Only a hulking man sitting by the window snorted coldly and looked away with disdain.

"Don't pay attention to him." Guo Yi grabbed Shen Yu and pulled him closer, whispering, "He offended His Highness the Crown Prince during the Chinese New Year banquet, and was reprimanded by the Eldest Princess."

Shen Yu nodded knowingly.It turned out that the man was Li Ting.

Li Ting was carefree and domineering in the Imperial College in his youth, but as he grew older, he also had his own troubles: he was so-so in his studies, and he never got any fame.

He was upset and complained a few words when he entered the palace.He still regarded it as the old days, and he didn't take the prince of the same age seriously in his heart.

However, Emperor Jianning is seriously ill now, and all affairs in the palace are presided over by the crown prince. At that time, the crown prince reprimanded him for his misbehavior. If it wasn't for the eldest princess's own flesh and blood, he might be kicked out directly.Offended the prince, he naturally has no good fruit to eat at home.

After school, Shen Yu held a banquet in a nearby restaurant to reminisce about the past with her former classmates, and then followed the lecturer and teacher to study for a year, preparing for the autumn in August.

These lecturers of the Guozijian are also the first-class Jinshi in the past. They either admire Zhou Kuang's good name, or love Shen Yu's pure filial piety, and appreciate his talent, and they all try their best to teach him.Occasionally, there were one or two who used his status as a foreign relative to make things difficult for him and looked down on him, but Shen Yu didn't take it to heart.

There are also three exams in the August township exam, on August [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th, each for three days.Guo Yi was saved from this, but he also had to worry about Shen Yu's punishment, so he kept nagging and exhorting him.

Shen Yu watched her uncle pass the exam and was not as nervous as other students.

Although Shen Yu kept his filial piety in the village and spent a lot of time researching farming, he didn't make a fuss about it.Taking advantage of the fact that he was free from his daily homework and had time, he read the books borrowed by Zhou Kuang over and over again.

With these sub-collections of classics and history in my belly, allusions and diction have become graceful and subtle when writing articles, and they are no longer as simple and straightforward as they used to be.

Even Zhou Kuang nodded after reading his recent articles, "Brother Xianzong also likes such delicate and tactful words. In my opinion, if you can finish the articles in a down-to-earth manner, you will definitely not fail."

Zhou Kuang was still afraid that he would be praised too highly, so he was more tactful and emphasized the word "down-to-earth".He also knew that this student was really not good at poetry, so he sighed: "The last one, if you don't take the exam, don't take it. If the poems and essays you make are too crafty, the examiner will not like it."

Shen Yu bowed deeply, then went home to prepare for the exam.

It should be noted that the township examination is not like the children's examination or Chunwei. It is divided into first, second and third grades. No matter whether it is No.1 or the last one, they are all candidates who can go to Yingchunwei, and they are all equally valuable.

Shen Yu obeyed the teacher's instructions. After three exams, the essays were done well and quickly, and she didn't answer a single word of poetry, calligraphy and painting.After leaving the examination room and handing over the finished essay to the teacher, he went back to China to study and review in peace, waiting for the results to be released.

Facts also proved that Zhou Kuang's judgment was not wrong.The results of the township examination were released, and Shen Yu got another Jie Yuan.

Guozijian also became lively all of a sudden, Guo Yi was deeply honored, and dragged Shen Yu to drink again, and wanted to celebrate him. "Tell those instructors who look down on them to realize clearly, is it true that any relative of the clan can pass the test!"

"Youzhi, I didn't take these words to heart, and you don't have to take them seriously." Even though Shen Yu said that, she smiled slightly when she saw her friend who seemed to be relieved.

Afterwards, Zhizhou will hold a deer-crying banquet, and invite these disciples to recite poems and sing in harmony with each other. This is a happy event.However, Shen Yu was a bit embarrassed: he was Xie Yuan, the first one who came out to compose poems.If it's just an ordinary thank you poem, it's fine to prepare the five-character and seven-character poems in advance, but if you specify the rhyme or the theme...

Shen Yu had a headache.

Just as he was pulling Zhou Kuang and hugging Buddha's feet temporarily, a major event came to relieve his worries: Emperor Jianning passed away.

Emperor Jianning has been seriously ill for some time.If it weren't for the fact that he was really sick and weak at the beginning, he would not have taken the initiative to ask the prince to supervise the country.And even so, he was also faintly worried, after all, the crown prince was still too young.

Fortunately, Wu Junyi did a good job.

He inherited the decrees of Emperor Jianning, and with the assistance of the prime minister, he presided over the court meeting, corrected the memorials, read more and said less, and won the unanimous support of the courtiers.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Jianning didn't care about worrying about his son's too much power, but thought about finally being able to meet his ancestors with peace of mind, and insisted on naming his youngest son Wu Junzuo, who was promoted by the Duke of Wei. As the Queen of Shoushun County, he held Wu Junyi's hand and muttered vaguely: "You have to...well..."

This sentence was not finished, Wu Junyi only felt that the strength in his hand was loosened, and he tried to breathe again, but it was gone.

Emperor Jianning finally passed away.

"Father! Father!" Wu Junyi shouted to the outside of the hall, "Emperor Physician, where is the Imperial Physician!"

He has been used to not expressing his emotions and anger over the years, but after all, when he realized that his father was about to leave, he showed a flustered side.

"Your Majesty, my condolences, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has passed away!" the imperial physician said with trepidation, stiffening his neck.

Wang Meiren has been promoted to Jieyu, and upon hearing the news, she rushed over and fainted from crying in front of Emperor Jianning's bed.She really meant it.When she gave birth to a son, it was time to seize the opportunity to secure her favor and win chips for her son.

But... Emperor Jianning left just like that, leaving her and his three or four-year-old son behind, in the palace, it's not Ren Xindi who rubs her hands!If the new emperor intends to guard against her child, what should they do!

In comparison, Zhang Jieyu was much calmer, knelt down with her daughter in her arms, sobbing softly, waiting for the new emperor to speak.

Wu Junyi stared blankly at the imperial physician with a terrified expression, it was the queen who rushed over and shouted those people away: "You are incompetent, you failed to save His Majesty, the crown prince didn't punish you, why are you still dissatisfied with staying here, and you still want to ask for a reward! "

The imperial physicians were relieved and resigned one after another.

"Prince!" The queen shouted in a low voice.

Wu Junyi finally came back to his senses, pursed his chapped lips, and ordered his eunuch: "Go and invite... the prime minister, and all the ministers."

When Prime Minister Jia and several other elders came in a hurry, they only heard the sound of crying in the Qianqing Palace. They hurried into the main hall to worship and cry. After waiting for a long time, they finally saw Wu Junyi coming out of the inner room.

"Your Majesty is waiting to greet you, long live your majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

The ministers led by Jia Shengde shouted long live three times, which confirmed the identity of the new monarch.Then, Jia Shengde came out and said to the crown prince who was confused, "Your Highness is a crown prince, and now His Majesty has passed away. Please ascend to the throne early so that the world can be at peace."

"Let's let the supervisor choose the day." Wu Junyi looked tired, and he waved his hand, "As for the rest, let's put it aside for now, Gu... Gu will take care of the funeral of the emperor first."
