Red walls of Zhumen, the palace is everywhere fortified. The roof with double eaves and glazed tiles obliquely emit streamer light.
Mingqiu Palace
The carved beams and painted buildings in the hall are resplendent and magnificent.
"Since your grandfather passed away, Jingfu has never been as bright as before. Your uncles are even more unusable, and they are even worse than the **** born to your concubine! On the contrary, they have dragged you down."
Concubine Jing put down the blue and white glazed lotus cup, but didn't use the blood swallow inside. Her dress has always been white. But the heart is extremely vicious.
The soft and charming posture is dyed with sadness.
Ji Teng is planned by her uncle Zou Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, what else does her elder brother have?
If she is the empress, Ji Fan is the crown prince. Ji Teng who is not outstanding is the mud on the ground.
They all said that the officials loved her dearly, but after the old master Jing left, the number of times Emperor Xi came to her palace became less and less. The last time he stroked her face, he was obsessed as if looking at another person. But his expression became more and more pale.
—Not like it.
Those three words gave her a blow in the head. The body trembled uncontrollably.
Ji Fan stood aside respectfully, not saying a word.
Concubine Jing looked at him softly.
"Thin."
"These days, in order to avoid suspicion, you rarely come to see me."
"Is it my son's fault?"
"How can I blame you?"
A chill flashed in Concubine Jing's eyes: "Your royal father intended to treat you poorly, but turned around and promoted Ji He! If I hadn't taken out the gold medal from the previous emperor left by your grandfather to protect you, and begged for your mercy repeatedly, How could he let our mother and son go!"
It's ridiculous that the most ruthless people still think they are deeply affectionate.
She hated Concubine Shao, but she also pitied her.
Regarding this, Ji Fan also turned cold.
He knew better than anyone else that Emperor Yan wanted to touch him.
Nowadays, the turmoil in various places is a good thing for him. But Ji Zhuang is a cautious person and dare not take risks.
"Mother and concubine don't have to worry."
"As for the matter of the student, the East Palace will go there as soon as they get the news. If it is found out, you will also..."
Ji Wang responded quickly.
"Father is afraid, it's better not to come out, why bother to make a mess."
Ji Teng is not stupid, he came forward because he is the crown prince and had to come forward. It is also clear that Emperor Xi wants to see blood.
Follow the holy will.
As he spoke, he smiled coldly.
"I'm not alone in the scientific examination. The mother and concubine are clean when they are concubines? How many are clean in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? How to check? It's not easy. Father is getting old. Become greedy for life and afraid of death, for fear that the dragon seat will not be stable, how dare he?"
He just never thought that those officials in Hengzhou would betray him when they were dying.
——
The rain outside never stops.
The sky is so dark that it can be suppressed at any time. Unreasonable depression enveloped the hearts of the people.
The people from Yushitai came in a mighty way, without looking at Ji Teng, they all knelt down without saying a word, which can be seen from the stand of Shu Yushi.
After the imperial physician came, he tremblingly gave pills to the half-dead people who were beaten.
Ji He knew that these people would not die.
At least, those who can come here are all people with knowledge and ability.
However, Ji Chuan loves talents.
When he ascends the throne, I'm afraid the court will be changed drastically.
Sure enough, after taking the pill, Lu Changzhou, who looked palest and could die at any time. Still weak, but breathing is no longer vague.
He feels at ease.
Ji He was suddenly very proud.
When he even looked at Ji Teng again, he thought he was a donkey.
So what if Ji Teng is the crown prince, he is still being played around with a finger by Ji Yan, let alone Ji Yan, who is still overwhelmed by him right now.
Cool!
This kind of emotion until I saw a dark shadow coming towards here at the end of the official road.
Leading the first-rank civil servant Xianhe to make up for the elderly Taifu, he was supported by Master Mo of the Imperial College.
Master Taifu Tongmo, scholars all over the world should call out teacher. The two knelt in front of the students. Support silently.
The bean-heavy rain fell down, the wind howled, as if crying, but the blood on the ground seemed to be unable to wash away.
Tai Tuo, the old man, would not kneel down when he saw the emperor. His body has been depleted a lot over the years, and the students are red-eyed when he is like this.
Ji Teng who is standing is also very conspicuous.
Emperor Xi came at this very moment.
Eunuch Ying is holding an umbrella behind him. But even so, most of the clothes were wet.
As soon as his figure appeared, those requests were overshadowed. Under the rain, no one could see the impatience and gloom in his eyes.
"Hey, why are you kneeling, Taifu? It's completely soaked."
Eunuch Ying asked the little **** beside him to hold an umbrella for Emperor Huang, quickly opened another one, and hurried forward to invite him up.
What he does represents the emperor.
"Officials dare not stand up."
The Taifu sighed deeply: "Students who want to enter the university must go through multiple selections. The county examination is for children, the government examination is for scholars, the college examination is for candidates, the township examination is for tribute students, and the general examination is for admission. It can be seen that it is not easy."
"These students had a bright future, but they were all ruined. They were delayed for several years and wasted for several years. It is their misfortune, and it is Daqi's misfortune."
"The old minister got the post of Taifu, ashamed of the first emperor. Ashamed of the official family, he can't afford to be a gentleman in the mouth of literati."
He held the charges against him, but slapped the court officials hard.
Emperor Xi knew this, and there was no way for him to end well.
Following the holy will, Ji Teng reacted and stepped forward quickly: "Master Mo is in the middle of Ding You, but he also made a trip for it. It is the blessing of these students."
Master Mo: "Don't dare."
Ji Teng said again: "Teacher, you feel sorry for these students, so how can father not feel sorry for you?"
"There are strict rules in the palace. Even if you want to, you can't just not punish at all. Father came here, so it can be seen that he must make the decision. You should get up first and go to the side hall to change into clean clothes. The rain will not be small, you If they don’t change, these students won’t dare to change. If they get injured, if they get wet enough, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”
Ji He has learned a lot.
This is the art of speaking.
Emperor Xi's delay in coming, turned out to be just a helpless act. The same is true for Ji Teng's previous cold-eyed onlookers.
is also ridiculous, such a law, what is it used for?
Do you keep it as an inheritance for Sister Shen?
"Everyone is gone, I will give an account of this matter."
Soon, the two were escorted away, and the students were also carried away.
From the beginning to the end, Emperor Xi didn't even look at Ji He, he got on the dragon chariot.
After the others walked away, Ji He lowered his head to look at the diluted blood stains on the ground. He knew that after the rain, all the sins would be swallowed up and it would be a sentence.
—Sage benevolence.
This is the way of the world.
A thunderclap in the sky.
Ji He dragged her wet body and went outside. There is no one on the official road.
He also had a hard time walking.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw the carriage of the Yangling Marquis's Mansion stop, his bony hands lifted the curtain, and Cui Yun got out of the carriage.
He took the umbrella that Jiqing sent him in a detached way. The rain slanted down, and the surface of the umbrella was pressed down very low, revealing only the half-jade but intriguing mandible.
As he walked, the black boots with the pattern of auspicious clouds stepped on the ground, splashing water.
