Chapter 45 Extra Story 4: Empress Dowager Part-time Job

In the eighth year of Huicheng's reign, the Northern Wu scientific examination was over. This time, the scientific examination was full of talents, and many outstanding students emerged.All of the top three were well-educated and handsome, and Fu Yu was very pleased to have such a talent in Northern Wu. On the same day, he held a banquet to entertain them at Yueyue Shuixie, and invited close officials to accompany them.

Shen Zhiqiu sat next to Fu Wei, looking at the people who were pushing cups and changing cups, they talked high-spirited, discussing anecdotes and anecdotes about this imperial examination, the number one scholar was dressed in a red brocade robe, silk flowers on his head, and was surrounded by stars like the moon Surrounded in the middle, drinking one cup after another.Fu Yu also looked at them with a smile, turned to Shen Zhiqiu and said, "I didn't expect this scientific examination to be such an unprecedented event. I really didn't expect that there are so many outstanding students in Beiwu. There is hope for Beiwu's future." .”

Shen Zhiqiu also said with a smile: "Since this is the case, you should shorten the time between each scientific examination, so as not to waste talents."

"That's the reason. Zhao Yunchen proposed to establish a large number of school supervisors in various places before, and it really worked." Fu Wei said.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the No. [-] came forward with a glass of wine, and greeted Fu Yi and Shen Zhiqiu very respectfully, "Students, see Your Majesty and Empress."

Fu Yi raised his hand, "Be flat."

The second place Liang Chen stood up, greeted Fu Liao, and turned to Shen Zhiqiu, "I have heard that the Empress is very knowledgeable and can write well. It is my honor to meet you today. I wonder if the Empress can give some advice to the students. It can be considered that the students are lucky to have three lives."

Shen Zhiqiu was slightly stunned, he knew that today's young people are open-minded, but he never thought that they are so bold, in the palace, in front of the emperor, they are going to compete with him for literary talent, they really are young and fearless.Shen Zhiqiu smiled faintly, "The No. [-] man is really young and talented. When I meet you today, you will know that the rumors are true."

"I don't know what rumor the Empress is talking about?" Liang Chen asked in confusion.

Shen Zhiqiu laughed lightly, "It is rumored that the young ladies who are about to get married in the capital almost broke the wall outside the tribute courtyard, just to see Mr. Liang."

Liang Chen was ashamed when he heard the words, but secretly proud of himself, he raised his chin slightly, and bowed his hands, "The queen made fun of the students, and the students only want to admire the queen's beauty, and hope that the queen will treat the students well." This opportunity."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't answer any more, just looked at him with a smile. It was impossible for him to agree to such a request, not to mention that his current status was not suitable for the invitation, even if he was in ordinary white clothes, he would not choose the top three with the hottest palace It's all about learning, it's not appropriate to lose, and if you win, it will appear that you are too much in the limelight and not stable enough, so he just looked at Liang Chen, raised his glass and toasted him a glass of wine, which was regarded as an answer.

But Liang Chen didn't understand what he meant, so he said again, "If you want to compare with him, you won't be able to compare with him, and your reputation will be ruined later. If you want to compare, there are No. You can use wine as the topic, and each write a poem for me to listen to, which can be regarded as adding to the fun."

When the emperor spoke, everyone dared not disobey, the three of them stopped their entertainment one after another, and without thinking about it, they composed a few neatly regulated poems against each other.Shen Zhiqiu drank quietly and didn't speak any more, the voice of reciting poems was louder and louder, covering Shen Zhiqiu's small thoughts.The young people under the high platform became famous at a young age, full of vigor, with shining pride in the corners of their eyes and brows, which is what they deserve. In the near future, they will have a place in the court and advise on the political affairs of Northern Wu.Shen Zhiqiu thought, if he hadn't been sent to the palace, would he be one of them?It's just that this kind of thinking was quickly suppressed by him. He is already very good now.

Just as he was in a trance, the hand next to the wine glass was held by someone. When he looked up, he saw that Fu Yi had already stood behind him. He smiled at him and said, "It's boring to see you sitting here, why don't you go out to get some air."

Shen Zhiqiu's gaze swept across the stage, everyone had already splashed ink and huddled together, no one cared about them for a long time, so he nodded, took Fu Lie's hand, and said, "Okay."

They came out of the invitation waterside pavilion and walked slowly along the lakeside outside. The night breeze blew over from the lake, bringing with it a hint of coolness and a scent of flowers. Shen Zhiqiu took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed. Come over, pick off a yellow petal that fell on his head with the wind, take a look at Shen Zhiqiu, and say: "How many years have passed, you haven't changed at all."

Shen Zhiqiu glared at him, "I'm used to talking nonsense, people never change. I was 17 when I first entered the palace, and now I'm 25."

"It's changed. I forgot. The day before yesterday, Yunyu told me in a different way that the nuns at the Clothes Bureau in the palace said that you have grown taller." Fu Yi said solemnly.

Shen Zhiqiu was furious, and was about to shake off his hand, but Fu Yu held it tightly. Seeing Shen Zhiqiu's vivid appearance, he hugged him very lovingly, and the weeping willow branches by the lake gently brushed their shoulders in the wind. , Shen Zhiqiu earned a token token, and let him go.

Few people come here, even if there are court ladies and eunuchs passing by, they will just take a detour to avoid such a scene.

Fu Yi wrapped his hands around Shen Zhiqiu's waist and asked him, "Do you know what the topic of this election is?"

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head suspiciously, he was not present on the day of the hall election, and the topic of the hall election was drawn up by the Science Department of the Ministry of Rites and handed to Fu Yu for decision, he was actually a little curious.

But Fu Yu didn't continue to talk, he took Shen Zhiqiu to the corner pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down, clapped his hands and called Jin Fu who was following from afar, Jin Fu immediately came forward with some answer sheets, Fu Yu handed them to him. Shen Zhiqiu, "This is the answer sheet for their palace selection. I have someone sort it out. Take a look."

The one on the top is the top three. Shen Zhiqiu took it over and looked at it, and was immediately dumbfounded. The article on it was too familiar. Once he lost to Fu Yu in a game of chess, and was punished by Fu Yu to write a policy theory. These essays selected by the palace have the same theme as that essay, but there are many respondents and their ideas are different. Only the essay by the top scholar has a similar idea to what he once wrote.

Shen Zhiqiu raised his head and looked at Fu Yi inquiringly, Fu Yi said: "At that time, I wanted you to choose a topic for the palace, but I knew that you never liked to overstep the rules, so I came up with that method. It was so exquisite that it caught my eyes, and I immediately decided to use this as the topic for the hall selection. Naturally, the selection criteria are also based on your article."

Shen Zhiqiu was a little flattered, and said uneasy: "This is a major event that should not be trifled with, how can you be so hasty."

Fu Yudao: "Where is the sloppy, that is the first time I saw you write policy theory. I always knew that you are very knowledgeable, but I didn't know that you are so good. In fact, you are the best candidate for the champion in my heart. It's just that you have already made it If I lose my queen, then the position of the No. [-] scholar will have to be taken advantage of by others."

Shen Zhiqiu felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, lowered his head and said, "Why do I feel like you're making fun of me again?"

Fu Yu took his hand, rubbed it lightly, and said seriously: "Yunyu, I'm showing you these today, and I want to ask your opinion. I'm going to let you take over the department of scientific examination of the Ministry of Rites. From now on, all matters related to the imperial examination will be handled by you." You are in charge, okay?"

Shen Zhiqiu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He fixedly looked into Fu Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to see that he was joking, but Fu Yu was very serious. Shen Zhiqiu was silent for a long time before he said: "I'm afraid this is against the rules. Without a concubine to handle the affairs of the previous dynasty, it is still such an important matter as scientific research."

Fu Yu said softly: "But you are not only my queen, you are also my most capable helper. I am very relieved that you will test the candidates of each class. Yunyu, are you willing to help me?"

Shen Zhiqiu's heart was beating uncontrollably. How many times he had longed to be able to flex his muscles in the world outside the palace, but he was trapped in the harem. Of course, he also voluntarily stayed there. Although he envied and The No. [-] champion has already let go of his own thoughts. He always thinks that he can manage the harem well and be able to accompany Fu Yu quietly. , It would be a lie to say that he is unhappy, but apart from being happy, he is more moved. Fu Yi took every little thought of him firmly in his eyes and put it into action. He told Shen Zhiqiu with everything that he was willing to Give him the best respect.

Shen Zhiqiu pursed his lower lip, leaned over to lean on Fu Yi's shoulder, and said nothing, Fu Yan stroked his black hair, and whispered in his ear: "You are the only champion in my heart, I hope you can help me in the future Bringing out more champions, the court of Northern Wu still belongs to these young people after all, I hope that when Jue'er succeeds in the future, there will be a vigorous Northern Wu."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded heavily, as if taking over an extremely important responsibility, and said firmly: "I will definitely not let Your Majesty down."

Fu Yi stretched out his hands to hold his face, looked at the dazzling light in his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and kissed his lips. The faint smell of wine between the lips and teeth awakened the tenderness in their hearts for several years, all the trust and Deep love, in this late night, like a lake, quiet and clear.
