Master Shen's Journey Through Time

In the first month of the next year, Wangqing Building has been basically completed. Of course, apart from luck and hard work, I would also like to thank several parents.

Xia Tang still couldn't help telling Xia Shang about Wang Qinglou's plan. After hesitating, Xia Shang told Prince Jing.

Prince Jing and Xia Shang, two powerful figures, naturally had their own influence.

Now there is no need for them to change their beliefs, just a different way of communication.

Moreover, Xia Shang's financial resources and King Jing's power are naturally not comparable to us juniors.

The first task of Wangqinglou was to find out the truth about Xia Lengling's death. The result was unexpected, but expected.

In the end, it was found that Xia Lengling's health began to deteriorate just a few days after Huang's becoming Xiao Chuan's concubine.

And traced back to a maid from that year, who is now an old woman, who once served Xia Lengling for a period of time, it is said that she has a vague impression of the prescription back then, which is the one Qing Yuan found.

Later, Xia Lengling saw that she was young and heard that she loved her cousin, so Xia Lengling married her to his cousin, so she escaped disaster and lived a happy life.

The spearhead is obviously directed at Concubine Huang Gui.

But we discussed this news, and this news was only told to Qing Yuan, Xiao Chuan and the queen still kept it a secret.

Of course, we also persuaded Qingyuan to follow our rhythm, otherwise it would only harm us.

But we are not indifferent, but now is not the time to completely overthrow the Huang family.

Although we don't intend to bring down Concubine Huang Gui, I still gave Qing Yuan a gift.

Ye Pinger died.

Bao'er was pushed into the water and drowned by Ye Ping'er's order (later found out).

But at the beginning of this year, Ye Ping'er accidentally fell into the river and died.

Huang hugged Ye Pinger's body and cried for a long time, but after a long search, she couldn't find out the reason.

How Ye Pinger died, only Qing Yuan, Yun Yao and I know.

Ye Ping'er was lured to the river by the sound of Qingyuan's flute after taking the hallucinogenic drug, and jumped down by herself.

If Qing Yuan hadn't personally practiced such a poison, I really couldn't believe it was real.

Qing Yuan was also very grateful to me for my real help, and she looked at me differently from then on.

The second task of Wang Qinglou is to discover the conspiracy of King Qin.

And the emperor is rewarding the king of Qin who has made great contributions to the drought.

Knowing the news one step earlier than the emperor, let us really feel that Wangqinglou has been completed.

The cause of Xia Lengling's death is not counted, because the emperor may not know it.

We discussed it and concluded that the person who pacified the Northwest this time should be Van Gen.

After all, the Yang family has too many military exploits, and Mrs. Huang has been very active recently. If there is no accident, the candidate must be Yang Hui.

But surprises still exist.

Minister of the Ministry of War is the Han Dynasty who just took office, and he is Zhou Sikong's nephew, so he should object.

At the same time, the emperor's defense against Yuqing became more and more obvious.

In reality, he resigned from his position on Prince Jing due to physical reasons, and asked him to recuperate at home.

Then he reprimanded Yuqing for some trivial matters.

Even Xiao Yunian, a small air, took advantage of this opportunity to be sent to Taipu Temple as an errand, and received rave reviews.

This Xiao Yunian made me feel more and more Yongzheng's aura about him.Capricious, and like to use leisure to cover up their abilities.

Coupled with the fact that the emperor has taken precautions against the Northwest these years, no matter how brave and skilled the King of Qin is, he will not be able to cause much trouble.

So my worst plan is that the emperor will take the opportunity to pull Yuqing into the water.

After getting this worst plan, I immediately asked Xia Tang to arrange a master craftsman, and I wanted to secretly build a batch of weapons.

After all, I am not a military expert, and I specialize in art, so the weapons I can think of are all ancient weapons, such as the Juma of the Ming Dynasty...

And began to actively discuss the production of explosives with Qing Yuan!

In the spring of March, a large number of candidates have arrived in the capital since February.

This time, the emperor handed over the Beijing examination to the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Huang was the chief examiner.

Although Li Yanmao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a member of the Zhou family, he is cowardly, not as good as Liu Jing (a follower of Jianxiang) who is in charge of Honglu Temple.

Honglu Temple doesn't care about the exams, it only cares about the arrangements of those who pass the exams...so it's useless for Liu Jing to be tough.

The questions were proposed by Jian Xiang, Sun Xun and Zhou Sikong together, and the emperor finally reviewed them.

At the end of February, the emperor's intelligence network also got information about King Qin's rebellion and began to arrange manpower.

Sure enough, Fan Gen resigned on the grounds of injury.

There is no adult son in the family, so the emperor naturally cannot let Fan Gen go.

In early March, the southwestern border was attacked, and Yang Guangwu had always been in charge of the southwest, so the emperor still appointed him as the Grand Marshal of the Southwest March.

After announcing the completion, the emperor left me and Jian Xiang alone.

"Yun Shu, I want to send you a secret mission."

Seriously, and it was Jian Xiang who accompanied me, so it probably wasn't a scam.

"This year is the first year of the imperial examination system. Jian Qing and Mr. Sun are not sure about the questions and the ability of the candidates. I am also worried that there will be accidents in the Beijing examination. So after thinking about it, I decided to send you as a special envoy to attend the Beijing examination and the examination together with all sentient beings. Palace test."

The emperor really just asked me to be a tester? ? ?After thinking about it, I can't find any pitfalls...

"The minister obeys the order."

"This is your identity card, you take it well. Only Zhen, Jianxiang, you and Fu Yan know about this matter, remember to keep it secret, and don't go to inquire about the exam questions." The emperor said to shield his servants.

The identity given to me by the emperor is Lin Xining, the concubine son of the Jiangnan Lin family, and my entrance examination results are considered to be in the top third, which is not bad.

I don't have time to think so much now, the emperor is not testing my level, even if I lose my name, I can't just be the noble of my county son.

I'm too busy making weapons right now to talk to him.

Three days before the Beijing exam, Yuqing took me to the newly opened tavern Tingyulou for dinner, and there happened to be a bunch of candidates sitting next to me.

"I think the No. [-] pick this year must belong to Zhang Ping."

"Nonsense, Zhang Ping, who came from a poor family, can at best be in the first class. In my opinion, Huang Sheng has a higher probability."

"Although Huang Sheng is the distant grandson of Huang Taifu, Zhang Ping's elder brother is also the servant of the secret book of the fifth rank!"

Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Lu's younger brother.

"The sage of the imperial examination system is famous for promoting talents, and he doesn't know his background. The No. 1 entrance examination in Liangzhou is commoner Jia Liancheng. In my opinion, Gong Zijia from Menglin Academy wrote a good article."

.......

"Yun Shu, why are you listening so seriously? It's just a group of candidates."

"Oh, it's nothing." In order to keep it secret, I didn't even tell Yuqing, after all, this is the emperor's order.

......

The Beijing Examination will take two and a half days. For the sake of confidentiality, the emperor still follows the traditional imperial examination system. Once entered, it is forbidden to leave.

Fortunately, food is provided and the accommodation is good.

I came here with book smoke this time, because I plan to let him take the road of imperial examination in the future, so I let him experience it in advance.

Although he couldn't get in, he was still frightened by the tense atmosphere.

"Young master, there are so many people!!"

Really ignorant, if you let Shuyan see the future college entrance examination scene, it will definitely scare him to death.

Candidates were clearly divided into two factions.

One group obviously came from a poor family, surrounded by a young man who looked very similar to Zhang Lu.

The other faction should be the concubine sons of the big families, who are not favored in the family and have no future, taking advantage of the imperial examination system to turn around.

Standing in the middle of them was a "proud" candidate, probably Huang Sheng.

Jia Liancheng stood on the side of the humble family, but only on the edge.

It seems that everyone still thinks that family background is also one of the determining factors.What makes Zhang Ping better than Jia Liancheng is that he has an elder brother who is a Beijing official.

Gong Zijia and the book boy stood aside alone.

Although they are all under Meng Fang's sect, he belongs to Meng Lin Academy, so he can't claim to be Meng Fang's disciple, and he doesn't have a mentor-student relationship.

Shuyan belongs to the outer disciples, and he and Meng Fang also have a master-student relationship.

So the two of us, Gong Zijia, don't know each other.

Moreover, academies in this era are not yet popular, and the academies are not systematic, so Gong Zijia seems a little lonely. If he was placed in the Ming Dynasty, he must be very popular.

I dressed plainly on purpose, got off the plain carriage, and headed into the family pile, after all, I bear the reputation of the Lin family in Jiangnan.

Probably because of this face, many people came to tell me some gossip before entering the arena.
