Reincarnation of the powerful minister

The first day of March.

Su Yan followed a group of palace examinations for tribute students, and stepped on the scarlet carpet into the Fengtian Hall of the imperial palace.

Fengtian Hall is commonly known as Jinluan Hall, with carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and vermilion tiles from afar, it is magnificent.Standing in the hall at this time, the dragon seat is held high in the depths, and all the officials around are standing in silence. The majesty of the imperial power is undoubtedly manifested, and people dare not look at it head-on.

Su Yan lowered his head slightly, looking at his nose and heart with his eyes, standing at the end of the line.

He made the worst plan, holding the mentality of watching with nothing to do with himself.On the contrary, those tributes who were full of worries and feared the unpredictable power of the sky were so nervous that they dared not even take a breath.

Before the official palace examination, the ceremony was complicated, and the officials were full of words, which made Su Yan drowsy, and his eyes were hazy with white mist.

The principal was confused, and suddenly heard a clear and dignified voice directly in front of him: "Fujian tribute Su Yan, who is it?"

Su Yan's first reaction: Someone is calling my name.The second reaction: The procedure is wrong. Didn’t it mean that the written test is followed by the interview.Third reaction: The voice came from above, it seemed to be... the current emperor?

Immediately there was a jolt, and his mind suddenly cleared up. He hurriedly came out and knelt down on the ground, with his palms on the carpet, his forehead on his fingertips, and breathed out in his dantian: "Chen Suyan kowtows to my emperor, long live."

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jinglong was condescending, and seeing Su Yan's tall and straight figure, elegant posture, and lowered eyebrows, he stood upright, with the gentle and jade-like demeanor of a modest gentleman, and he liked it a little, and said: "Raise your head."

When Su Yan heard the emperor told him to look up, he raised his face unceremoniously and looked at the emperor on the dragon chair curiously.

After looking at them, I realized that the portraits of ancient emperors all looked very dignified with fine beards and beards, and they were mostly the artistic processing of painters.It's just that their aesthetic level is really not flattering in the eyes of modern people.

Take, for example, the Emperor Jinglong in front of him, who was about 36 years old, with handsome features and a calm and peaceful expression. Only when a gleam of light flashed occasionally in his eyes, did he show a majestic arrogance without anger.

If you put it in modern TV dramas, and compare the portraits of uncles with temperament and young milk killers with themselves, it would be a waste.

Satisfied, Su Yan turned his gaze to the young man in the vermilion leather jacket beside him. Seeing this, he was so shocked that he almost cried out——

Wasn't that the kid who ran over in the street?She was winking at him, looking at his embarrassment triumphantly.

It turned out that he was Zhu Helin, the prince of the dynasty.

Emperor Jinglong frowned slightly when he saw that although Su Yan was handsome and handsome, his eyes were too presumptuous and unreliable for a courtier.Seeing this, the prince secretly pulled his sleeves and gave him a flattering look.

He glanced at the prince with a scornful and doting gaze, and said to Su Yan in a deep voice: "I heard that you are well-known, knowledgeable, talented and capable, and you are a well-known talent in Fujian."

Su Yan blushed secretly when he heard this: "I have little talent and little learning, and I have the reputation of being a talented man, but it is actually a joke and absurd praise from scholars and friends."

Seeing his humble words, Emperor Jing Long nodded slightly: "A gentleman should be respectful without loss, be respectful and polite, and a young man's madness is really unacceptable."

He pondered for a while, "This palace exam is about 'Confucianism governing the people', Su Yan, you can talk about it first."

Su Yan was stunned, stunned, and confused.

Because he held the idea of ​​"writing an argumentative essay at the worst", he didn't study what the policy theory of the palace examination was, and he didn't expect that the written examination would suddenly turn into an oral examination, and he was caught off guard.

While breaking out in a cold sweat, he wondered: the palace examination questions are too indecent, even "the name of going to the toilet" can be used for the test, so it turns out that meat and vegetables were not taboo in ancient courts?What does this tell me to talk about, toilet etiquette?How to use the toilet?Or a new flush toilet?

Seeing the time passing by, Man Chao looked at him with surprise and impatience in his eyes, and it might not be good to delay any longer, Su Yan suddenly had an idea, and said: "Your Majesty, I have a pair, which is right for this question. But... the minister dare not say."

Emperor Jinglong said: "Say, I forgive you for your innocence."

Su Yan was waiting for this sentence, and now he stepped on the T-shaped character and his qi was in the dantian, and said calmly and steadily: "This pair of ministers, the first couplet is 'even if heroes are heroes, they all bow their knees and bow their heads', and the second couplet is 'Ren Er, a chaste woman , must also untie the belt', and criticize 'the reincarnation of the five grains'."

As soon as this pair came out, the whole room was stunned.

The air seemed to freeze, and the entire Jinluan Hall was silent.Su Yan turned his head and glanced at the astonishment on the faces of the officials on both sides. He felt as if he had said something wrong, and retracted his neck a little guilty.

Standing at the bottom of the Danxi steps, Feng'an Hou Weijun's old face turned pale in an instant, then turned from green to red, from red to purple, with blue veins on his forehead, and a three-inch goatee under his chin trembling wildly.

It turns out that Feng Anhou is the uncle of the imperial concubine Wei.

Wei's family was born in a relative, in terms of seniority, she was still the Empress Dowager's cousin and niece, and entered the palace two years ago.

Although since the founding of the dynasty, in order to prevent the tyranny of foreign relatives, most of the concubines in the harem were selected from among the outstanding women in the folk.But now that Concubine Wei's royal family is gathering, and she is protected by the big Buddha of the Empress Dowager, she is naturally extraordinary, and even her brother and uncle are also prosperous, and they are named Marquis and Boss.

Concubine Wei's elder brother, Ning Bo, is honest and low-key, but this uncle, Marquis of Feng'an, is a bit of an old man. He usually steals and seizes private fields, but he will force his wife to be his concubine when he sees a beautiful woman.Some of those women were chaste and strong, and they kowtowed to death on the doorpost in front of their husbands, and some of them went home after they got tired of playing, and they couldn't stand people's words.However, because he was in a high position, even if he received a complaint, the yamen did not dare to investigate and deal with it.

However, this man doesn't know how to look good, and he is very fond of gaining fame. He planted two acres of millet, millet, bean, wheat, and rice in the front yard of the Hou's mansion where people come and go, and he called himself "Mr. He devoted himself to farming and ridges, loved the people and loved the people.

Now in front of the imperial court and in front of the imperial court, in full view of all the officials, a little tribute dared to speak openly and ridicule, accusing him of oppressing good people and forcing adulterous women.

The Marquis of Feng An couldn't hold back his old face immediately, and became furious. He pointed at Su Yan's nose and cursed: "Zizi is extremely rampant! In front of the emperor's seat, he dared to speak nonsense and have the sage listen to him. It's a rebellion!"

Su Yan was scolded by the flyer, but before he could react, he saw an old civil servant with white beard and hair striding forward, and said with a sneer:

"Su Gongshi didn't name Daoist surnames. Why should you be a thief with a guilty conscience! The sage said that a gentleman is respectful in his conduct, respectful in his actions, beneficial to the people in his support, and righteous in his mission. Your rampant domineering is wrong. Gong, it is disrespectful to hide the sky from the sky, it is disrespectful to destroy the people, it is injustice to obstruct the government of the country, what shame is there to shout treason in the court!"

Wei Jun saw that it was Li Chengfeng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the cabinet, who often talked eloquently in court and criticized and impeached him many times because he was the veteran of the two dynasties and the leader of the civil servants. Hate welled up in my heart.

He also ignored Su Yan, and yelled at Li Chengfeng: "Old man, how dare you insult the relatives of the country, and completely regard the emperor's majesty as nothing, his heart can be punished!"

Li Chengfeng was furious, and fought back: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, relying on the crony of the harem to bully the public and rule the law, and domineering the court, I will be the first to spare you!" As he said, he threw the court wat in his hand towards him.

Wei Jun was caught off guard for a moment, and was hit on the shoulder. In a rage, he rushed over and beat him.

Not to be outdone, Li Chengfeng threw out his old punches.

I saw two important court officials who were over half a hundred years old fighting each other like street hooligans.Some of the ministers around were dumbfounded, some were dragging and persuading a fight, and some were panicking and avoiding for fear of harming the fish in the pond.

Su Yan's eyes widened, and he shouted in his heart: It's amazing, it's so tough!It turns out that this is the true face of the ancient court, bricks and fists flying together, saliva and sweat together.

As everyone knows, it is rare to see such a full martial arts practice in decades.

After all, Li Shangshu was old and frail, and Feng Anhou pushed him down beside Danxi when his feet were weak, and happened to break the bronze crane's slender neck in two. Throw it to Feng'anhou.

Feng Anhou ducked in a short body.

Su Yan was just behind him, and suddenly saw a hidden weapon flying towards his face, tripped his legs in a panic, fell on the steps in front of the throne, and raised his head to meet Emperor Jinglong's face as cold as iron.

Leaning and leaning, the four eyes meet.A gust of cold wind blew across the back of Su Yan's neck...

The copper crane's head landed at the emperor's feet, rolling around...

Emperor Jing Long slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, stood up abruptly, and said sharply, "You guys are so brave!"

This stern shout was like thunder and anger, the whole hall was suddenly quiet, and the second minister Li Wei stood there in a posture of fighting.

Su Yan was so shocked that he forgot to move. Seeing the crown prince winking at him desperately, almost moving over and kicking him with his toes, he realized that he was staying in a place he shouldn't be. He hurriedly got up from the imperial steps and shook his head. Shaking his robe, he hid in the crowd.

The muscles on Emperor Jinglong's cheeks slightly, "As a subject, the imperial court is so disrespectful, do you still have the emperor in your eyes? Come, take these two into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and wait for disposal!"

After finishing speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, leaving behind a sentence: "The imperial examination has been postponed, and another date will be chosen, and the imperial court will be retired!"

The officials and tributes whispered, shook their heads and sighed and retreated.Su Yan followed behind slowly, never expecting that he escaped inexplicably, like watching a movie with ups and downs.

I guessed the beginning of the story right, but I didn't guess the ending. The ancient court was indeed very powerful.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a servant in a sunflower collar shirt caught up with him and said to him: "Su Gongshi, His Royal Highness is calling you to the Huagai Hall to meet you."

That kid looking for him?Could it be that they want to settle the general account after the fall?

He nervously followed his servants to the Huagai Hall, and as soon as he approached the door, he heard a hoarse young man in the hall laughing wildly, saying intermittently: "You didn't see the expression on Marquis Feng'an's face clearly, it's funny, like a scorpion The old mule who kicked... and Taifu Li who fell down and groaned while holding his waist when he came out of the palace, now the ears of the father can be clean for at least half a month..."

Another pure and dignified voice said: "Nonsense, Li Shangshu is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and also the prince and grand tutor. There is no reason for students to make fun of the teacher."

Su Yan was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't the prince wanting to see him, why is the emperor also there?Emperor Jinglong was furious just now in the main hall, but in the blink of an eye he talked with the prince in a friendly manner. It seems that Zhu Helin, who was said to have been crowned as the crown prince since birth, was really loved by his father.

Before he had time to think about it, the servant next to him had already reported loudly.When the emperor announced, Su Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the palace gate, bowing his head in salute.

Although he has been in this dynasty for half a year, he is still not used to bowing on both knees like the ancients, just waiting for the emperor to call him down quickly.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jinglong's face sank like water, and he didn't speak. He just looked at him with a pair of long and narrow eyes.

As if a cold autumn rain fell on his head, Su Yan's hairs stood on end in an instant: This look is too embarrassing!Did he offend Tianwei again somewhere?Even the relatives of the emperor and the cabinet ministers were thrown into prison. He was an insignificant tribute, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

In my impression, the punishments of this dynasty were severe, such as "orders, scales, scrubbing", and the famous Ling Chi who once entertained many loyal and treacherous officials.

Death is not terrible, anyway, we have made psychological preparations, but if he is afraid that he will be bloody and miserable before he dies, then he would rather go back to his previous life and be hit by ten or eight flower pots at the same time.

Just as I was thinking about it, my spine felt chills, when I suddenly heard Emperor Jing Long say indifferently: "Su Yan, you are so capable, you can stir up waves in the court with just one pair, if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster."

Su Yan quickly clarified: "I'm just talking about a topic, and I just want to answer the policy well. I have no intention of criticizing the courtier. Even if I borrow a hundred courage from my minister, I don't dare. Your Majesty has learned from you!"

Secretly screaming in my heart: Isn't it the strange question you asked me? I have tried to answer it as elegantly as possible. Runaway, until now I am still confused, how could I be the culprit?I am wronged, I am more wronged than Dou E!

Emperor Jinglong served the tea, wiped the rim of the cup slowly with the lid, and said: "There is no need to be frightened, although you act recklessly and frivolously, after all, you have a heart of integrity and discipline, and I don't want to be too harsh, just treat me slightly Punishment, as a warning in the future. Go down and get twenty court sticks by yourself."
