After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

After the Huachao Festival, the school in Bianjing ushered in a new year of enrollment.

Unlike Enke, which is about to be abolished, the assessment of students in the academy is held once a year, starting on the vernal equinox and ending on the summer solstice.The selected students can directly enter the academy with the selected red ticket.

The topics used in the school's recruitment are different for each subject, and the assessment standards are also different. They all recruit suitable talents according to the needs of each department.

All the questions are set up by the lecturers of each subject and the ministers of each department, and then collected in the hands of Han Taifu. Finally, the king and Han Taifu jointly decide to select the test questions of each subject that year.

The test questions are selected and issued, and the students can go to the township and county schools to collect the test questions within three days after the test questions are issued, and submit them to the prefectural schools after completing the answers. The postmen who specialize in this matter were sent to Bianjing Academy.

Because all the exam questions are closely related to current political affairs, there is no basis to follow and no evidence to test, and there is no uniform standard for the answers. Even if the students who only know how to read blindly read the books, they will not be able to answer a single question. Come two or three.It is absolutely impossible for the rich family to find someone to write for them. After the written test, there will be three rounds of interviews from top to bottom.In this way, fraud in the examination room can be avoided to the greatest extent, and talents can be recruited for the country to the greatest extent.

In the year when the Self-Study Palace was established, the number of people applying for Enke's entrance examination plummeted. This year, except for a very few candidates who have failed for a long time, the vast majority of students have turned their attention to the school, which is obviously more beneficial to the future career. among.

Even if the probability of getting an official in the Academy is less than one-third of that of Enke.

This year, a total of more than [-] copies of the written test were sent from the local area to Bianjingdu Middle School. After the primary selection by the prefecture school, the six departments selected the best, and the three-centimeter selection, there were more than [-] copies left in the final.

These two thousand and seven hundred written test papers will be screened again according to the needs of each department, and the candidates who can participate in the first round of interviews will be selected.Only those who pass the two rounds of interviews from the sixth department to the third public will have the opportunity to submit a new round of documents and resumes to the king and Taifu Han, who will be selected by the king.

This year, the test started on the day of the vernal equinox. After two months of screening, a total of 330 resumes were sent to the hands of the monarch and his ministers.

By the way, officials of the Sixth Ministry and the prefectural schools did not dare to show favoritism. One is that there is no strict limit on the number of students enrolled, and the other is that Taifu Han will randomly select students who were dismissed in the year or the year before. If there is an unfair evaluation among them, the official in charge of the matter will be dismissed and investigated.

Today, after the morning dynasty.

In the large study room provided by Ziju, the two monarchs and ministers were seated opposite each other, with a stack of booklets in their hands. This booklet described in detail the student's background, what he had done before entering school, and what he did in the first round of written examinations. The article I made also included comments from the other two rounds of interviews.

The two monarchs and ministers want to select the final interviewers from the resumes of these students. The last interview is not for screening, but for selecting students according to their future aspirations, in order to hope that the students will be effective in the future.

When dealing with government affairs, the two monarchs and ministers have always been very quiet, sitting face to face, each with a cup of strong tea in his hand, the two of them are silent, only the soft sound of papers being flipped through.

The emperor Gu Xiu finished reading the stack first, took a sip from the tea cup, and took a look at the grand master Han Mochu who was opposite him.Han Mochu was sitting against the light at this moment. It was the middle of the day, and the dazzling sunlight made his figure faint, and the silver crown on his top flickered, making people dare not look directly at him for too long.

After being inseparable for so long, Gu Xiu often feels that Han Mochu is not a real person, and their present and present may just be a dream he had when he was young and struggling.

"Your Majesty finished the selection so quickly? What are you staring at me for? Do you want to see if I will suddenly become a feather?" Han Mochu, who was concentrating on the desk, suddenly spoke, and instantly interrupted the mediocrity of the person opposite.

Gu Xiu, whose mind was exposed, turned his face back, and quickly focused his eyes on the resume that was divided into two parts in front of Han Mochu, and said softly, "I'm just curious why you want to divide these resumes into two parts."

"This side was chosen by the minister for the court." Han Mochu raised his eyes and lightly pressed his eyelids, stretched out his hand to caress the few booklets on the left, and replied softly, "This side was chosen by the minister for Yucheng."

"Yucheng?" Gu Xiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in confusion: "Isn't the officials of the Eastern Palace always selected by the Ministry of Officials? Besides, Yucheng is still young, and the affairs of the six departments have not been clarified yet, so Ziran wants to teach him now How did you manage it?"

"Although His Royal Highness is young, he is indeed an adult. Last month, the concubine and concubine had decided to choose a Liang Di for His Royal Highness to enter the East Palace. Why does His Majesty still treat him as a child?" Han Mochu propped his forehead with one hand, slender His fingers bounced lightly on the cover page of the book: "The people selected by the minister today are talented and ambitious, but they had no roots or roots in the previous dynasty, and they had no worries and cares. They only thought about serving the country. The people who have always followed His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, and studied with him about the affairs of the court, will be of one mind with His Highness the Crown Prince in the future. After all, the minister and His Majesty cannot accompany His Highness the Crown Prince for a lifetime, and His Highness the Crown Prince will still be the master of the future court. His Highness has been kind and generous since childhood , His Majesty and the ministers are not here, it is inevitable that there will be troubles with the old ministers."

"In the end, Zi Ran's long-term thinking is more comprehensive than my father's." Gu Xiu reached out and stroked the back of Han Mochu's hand that was pressed on the cover of his resume: "It's no wonder that child Yu Cheng has been with you since he was a child." Get closer."

"I'm a few years older than your majesty, so naturally I think about trivial things." Han Mochu straightened up and loosened his shoulders, pulled out the back of his hand and gently pushed Gu Xiu's forehead towards him: "If your majesty is fine, can you let me go?" Minister, continue? If we continue to delay, I am afraid that this year's winter solstice will not be finished."

Gu Xiu was slapped on the forehead by this palm, and in a trance, he recalled what happened on the Huachao Festival: "Zi Ran, wait a minute, you just said that the mother and concubine will be the master and Yu Cheng will marry Liang Di? Where did you come from?" The girl? But the girl that Yucheng dragged on the Huachao Festival?"

"Your Majesty, thanks to the fact that you are still His Royal Highness's father, how come you didn't remember to ask about such a big matter until today?" Han Mochu closed the resume booklet he had just opened in his hand, and said with a low laugh, "Grand Concubine Huachao Festival The small banquet held in the flower hall that day was said to be to talk to those wives, but in fact it was to choose a concubine with His Royal Highness Yu Cheng."

"But Ziran didn't mean that Yucheng already pretended to be someone else in his heart, and he was worried and depressed because of it? Why did he choose this girl again?"

"I don't know about this subject. Maybe it's the empress dowager who decides, and Yu Cheng's child's temper is not as stubborn as His Majesty's. He just pushed the boat along the way to make the empress dowager happy." Han Mochu shook his head, and turned over the resume in his hand Opened a page: "Your Majesty is the same as my ministers. I have always been worried about such a thing. Let it be dealt with by the empress dowager and the princess."

"Which girl does Ran know Yucheng chose?" Gu Xiu asked this question purely to make himself look more like a gentleman.

"It is said that she is the daughter of the concubine Zhou's mother's family. She is from Quanzhou. She is the same age as Yu Cheng. Her boudoir name seems to be..." Han Mochu thought for a moment, "Zhou Qiang."

***

On the day Zhou Qiang entered the East Palace, she didn't wear wedding clothes, only a newly made feather and satin dress, which was still rouge in color, not Zhenghong.

She took two maids who were used to her since she was a child, led by Shanggong Wu, and the group came to the East Palace where the crown prince Gu Yucheng lived.Her dormitory was arranged in the Lanzhi Hall in the East Palace.

Lanzhi Hall is not too big, but the interior decoration is exquisite. Most of the furnishings are carefully selected by Concubine Jin and Princess Qingzhao together, in order to make the little prince Gu Yucheng and Zhou Qiang feel happy. I can live more comfortably.

"Zhou Liangdi, this will be your residence from now on. Whenever you have any shortage of expenses, you can send someone to tell the servants. The empress dowager has ordered that you are the Liangdi personally selected by His Royal Highness, so you don't need to be too strict about everything. According to the palace regulations." Shang Gong Wu Shichao put up the airs of a half-grandmother, but also showed an eighth of charity and kindness, standing in front of the girl who the little prince caught in his eyes and said cordially.

"Yes, thank you Aunt Wu for taking care of it." The girl carefully bowed to the man with her complicated pearls on her head.

"You are welcome, Zhou Liangdi. This servant here has a food list that His Highness the Crown Prince has used since he was a child. You can read it when you have nothing to do." Shanggong Wu is getting old and has been worrying about Gu Xiu and his son for most of his life. Now Seeing Zhou Qiang, it seemed a bit like delegating power and retiring: "If you don't have any orders here, the servant will leave first."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Wu, go slowly, Aunt Wu."

After Mrs. Shanggong Wu left, Zhou Qiang couldn't wait to drag the two maids around in this exquisite small room, touching here and looking there, feeling that everything was novel and beautiful.

She is too restrained these days. After the Huachao Festival, she was taken to Prince Ning's Mansion by the Jin family concubine, and Aunt Biyun in the Prince Ning's mansion taught her palace etiquette and a series of responsibilities as the Crown Prince Liangdi. .

Entering the East Palace for the first time today, she finally has no one around her who can restrain her.

I don't know how long it took, the three little girls who were tired from playing sat together on the soft big bed. Just as Zhou Qiang was about to lie back on her back, the maid next to her supported her head: "Miss, His Royal Highness hasn't come back yet, have you forgotten how long you have combed your hair this morning?"

"Hiss...but my neck is so sore." Zhou Qiang squished her mouth aggrieved, and sat upright resentfully: "Qingqing, Qianqian, I'm hungry, how about you?"

"Miss, are you hungry?" The older Qingqing pulled up Xiao Qianqian who was still playing with the tassels of the bed curtain: "Let me and Qianqian go find you something to eat."

"Okay, then come back quickly." After Qing Qingqian left, Zhou Qiang was the only one left in Lan Zhitang. She looked at the exquisite tassels on the bed curtain, stroked the smooth Suzhou embroidery on the bed, and couldn't help the corners of her mouth. up.

As the first daughter next to the current crown prince Gu Yucheng, although she does not have the status of a regular wife, she is now the only honor. She will never forget the entrustment of her parents before she left.

She will definitely stand out in this palace wall, and she will definitely not be childless like her great-aunt.

Thinking about it, she opened the food list given to her by Shang Gong Wu's family, and all she could think of was that bright young man on the day of Huachao Festival.

It turned out that the boy liked to eat wontons in chicken soup, mutton dumplings, and pastries with a mild milk flavor.

She can do all these, and she will learn to do what she can't do.She will definitely take good care of this boy and grow old with him.

Zhou Qiang waited for another three hours with the complicated pearls on her head. The little prince Gu Yucheng finally returned to the East Palace. She was still thinking about Yu Cheng's pleasant smile when she saw her, but when she ran up to the little prince with the hem of her skirt, she only got one sentence: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Inside Lanzhi Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and red candles competed for brilliance.

Gu Yucheng and Zhou Qiang sat side by side on the head of the bed, Zhou Qiang pursed her lips and lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.Xiao Yucheng's eyes were dazzled, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, Qian Qian, who had been waiting outside for a long time, yawned, and Yu Cheng, who was hesitant for a while, finally spoke: "Miss Zhou, have you ever had a sweetheart?"

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Zhou Qiang raised her head in astonishment, her guilty hands were cold: "I don't understand, I have never seen a foreigner since I was a child, so...so..."

"Miss Zhou, I have a sweetheart. I only want him in this life, and I will only want him. In the future, when you have a sweetheart, you will understand." Xiao Yucheng clenched his fists and sharpened himself He turned his head to the person and said bluntly: "Miss Zhou, I really didn't know that the imperial grandmother would really give you to me, and I never thought that I would marry a good concubine. This matter is really ridiculous, you and I We met for the first time, how could... Otherwise, how about I take you home? It's as if nothing happened today."

"Your Highness, are you going to drive me away?" Zhou Qiang's eyes blushed unknowingly.

"I don't want to drive you away, I just want to send you home." Xiao Yucheng continued to explain in a gentle voice.

"Your Highness, please don't drive me away." Zhou Qiang knelt down on her knees with a "plop" and grabbed Gu Yucheng's lower garment. The jewels on her head were too loose due to her movements, her hair was loose and her tears were tired Hanging, left two meandering marks on the lead powder on the makeup: "His Royal Highness, if you don't like me, you don't have to see me, you can let me go, just don't drive me away, don't drive me away!" Go. You chose me in front of everyone that day, and you don’t want me today. My parents, grandparents, and aunts will all think that I bore you, and I will never be able to raise my head again. Prince Your Highness, please don't drive me away."

"I don't want to drive you away, let alone hate you." Xiao Yucheng frowned and leaned over to try to help him up: "It's just that I already have a sweetheart. Even if you are here, I will never be able to be like a husband and wife with you Get along well. Don't you feel bored staying in the East Palace? You must be an excellent girl, the same as my sister. You should have a better destination, with a real sweetheart, instead of being trapped in By my side. What happened on the Huachao Festival is my fault alone. I will go to the imperial grandmother to explain it clearly, and I will never let your family be ashamed. I will do my best to give you and yours Family compensation."

"No!" Zhou Qiang grabbed Xiao Yucheng's shirt and shook her head frantically: "No! Your Highness, I don't want anything, I don't want anything, I just ask you to keep me! I just ask you to keep me! No matter who your sweetheart is, I won't ask, no matter who you think of, I will keep my duty! Please! Don't let me go back!"

"This..." Looking at the girl's weeping makeup, Xiao Yucheng couldn't help but felt a pity in his heart: "Forget it, if you insist on not leaving, I can only say that I will let you stay here from now on, You have no worries about food and clothing, what do you think of you as Xi Can?"

Zhou Qiang pursed her lips tightly and did not answer, she nodded slightly, which was regarded as acquiescing.

The young prince believed that he had explained everything he had to say, and there would be no misunderstandings in the future.

Everything is what he thought.

The author has something to say:
