Linque

Years later, when Yan Mao recalled this difficult past, what he remembered was not the suffering and unwillingness at that time.

The young queen is low-key and simple, and doesn't like to show off. She sits in a luan car with Princess Changning, guarded by the shadow guards of the emperor, and goes slowly to Yuquan Mountain Zhenbobie Garden.

There is no clear road along the way, and there is no need to avoid it. When the people on Suzaku Street pass by the luan chariot, they only need to stop and look up for a while, and they can see the beautiful and dignified sky of the Empress of the Empire.

There are still a few days until the test, Yan San is walking alone on Zhuque Street, he has already thought about it, even if he has nowhere to go, he will go to the test field once, and he will never lose what he has learned over the years .

Before he came, he had foreseen such a result. The Yan family in Tanchuan is such a prominent family. It has its own rules and regulations. Everything must be ordered according to etiquette. Ideas, if any, are based on the father.

Just like when he was young, the astrologer said that he had a strong horoscope and was easy to overcome.So Tan Chuan had a San Gongzi Yan who did not return for many years and studied all over the world.

The aristocratic family values ​​reputation, so of course the words spread well, "the unity of knowledge and action is the most important thing, and the young man should go out and experience more."In fact, the door was closed because he was afraid that he would move out early due to taboos, but because he was young and unmarried, he couldn't separate his family and set up his own family.

After a few years away, Yan Mao traveled north and south of Dayin, visited the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, met all kinds of scenery, worshiped many "one-character teachers", saw a lot and learned a lot.Among them, the most memorable place is Shuozhou in the north, where Feihua rides Snow City.

……

Maybe it's really hard life, after many years he returned to Wanzhou, instead of being wasted outside, he gained some reputation. At the age of 20 and the crown, it is the age that can be formally engaged. A few days after the crown ceremony, he was told that "the sky is falling", and the young lady of the Yun family fell in love with him at the crown ceremony.

Lord Yun is a shepherd of Wanzhou, and the Yan family of Tanchuan is a descendant of Wanzhou. Of course, the Yan family will agree to this marriage. His reluctance is seen by everyone as knowing what is good or bad.

"It's the Yan family who wants to marry the Yun family. It's not about you alone, it's just that Miss Yun has taken a fancy to you."

"Your surname is Yan, you should do whatever your family asks you to do."

"Your aunt is sick. Only when you are well can she be well."

……

Yan Mao begged her parents, her elder brother, and Miss Yun.But--

do not like?

How can you not like it?

Everyone said that the young lady of the Yun family was a famous and noble daughter, she was so charming and doted on all kinds of things, if she didn't give the moon to the stars, she would have everything she couldn't get.Fan's heart fluttered, and it fell on Yan San's head. If you don't want to marry him, it's his blessing.

Even Yun herself felt that there was no reason for Yan Mao not to like her, and feelings could be cultivated, but it was just that she hadn't seen her daughter's family well.

No one took Yan Mao's struggle seriously. They said that although he had been abroad for many years, although he had gained a reputation and ability, he was inevitably a little bit wild, and it would be fine if he became a family member.

The wedding date was set, and most of the aristocratic guests from Kyushu were invited. Yan Mao's high hall was the Duke of Qing and his wife, his parents An Jian, and the bride came in as scheduled.

The death of an aunt will not change anything, she just gave birth to Yan Mao. In order to marry the young lady of the Yun family, Yan Mao has been changed to the name of the mistress in the genealogy.My aunt died of illness in Bieyuan three days ago. The two parents decided to keep it secret after discussing it. After seven days, the new couple had a funeral on the fourth day after their marriage. The word released to the public was that they could finally close their eyes in peace of mind after seeing the third son get married.

Yan Mao was already in the coffin when he saw her, he was not very close to his biological mother, she was a submissive woman who was timid, obeying her husband, mistress and son.During her lifetime, Yan Mao was filial, and after her death, Yan Mao mourned for her. After the first anniversary, he left the Yan family. ①

……

As the head of the clan, Duke Yan of the Qing Dynasty, in front of Tanchuan's orders and prohibitions, said one thing in front of the younger generation, and no one dared to disobey him, but he was wrong about the third son.

But that's okay.

The savagery in one's temperament can be worn away, and if one is not obedient, it is because one has not hit a wall enough.

Just to let him know that without Tan Chuan, he is useless.Do you think you are very capable?That's just because your surname is Yan.

Duke Qing's tricks are straightforward and simple, and Yan Mao knows it well, but he is determined, even if he dies outside, he will not return to Tanchuan.He had thought about it a long time ago, and if he failed in the test, he went to the northern border to join the army. This martial art must be useful.I came to take part in the imperial examination, but I wanted to leave my name in the Imperial Capital Gongyuan, and it was not in vain to grow these writing hands.As for the result, he had already thought about it.

Pedestrians were coming and going on Zhuque Street, Yan Mao walked forward with downcast eyes, he had something on his mind, he didn't notice for a while, and bumped into a Luan car guard at the corner of the long street.

The Luan car stopped for a while, and Princess Changning looked over from the half-open window and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Yiwei pleaded guilty, explaining that he hit someone.

Chang Ning nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand to signal to move on.

"Hey, wait-"

A branch of pink and white apricot blossoms suddenly protruded from the car, and opened the gauze curtain in front of the sun, and the woman sitting inside was wearing a tapestry palace dress of the same color as the apricot blossoms, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a superb demeanor.She looked at Yan Mao, made some distinctions, and suddenly said in surprise: "It's you?"

Yan Mao lowered his eyes.

——They met in the north.

Gu Huiyin, she was the pearl of the northern border at that time.

Last year she married Jiuchongque, and now she is the bright pearl of the entire empire, as bright as the moon in the sky, so that ordinary people can only look up and cannot touch it.

The old friend was reunited, and the queen was very happy.

Yan Mao came forward to pay homage, and Princess Changning whispered a few words in Huiyin's ear.

The queen raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Yan Mao again, lightly lifted the apricot flower in her hand, and said flatly, "So the third son Yan they were talking about is you..."

Yan Mao closed his eyes and remained silent.

"You are really courageous." Huiyin nodded and praised sincerely. Seeing that Yan Mao was holding a scroll in his hand, she thought for a while and said, "Is this your article? Show it to Gu."

The emperor's shadow guard stepped forward to receive Yan Mao's travel paper, this was just a small episode on the road, Feng Jia didn't stay for too long, and soon continued to Yuquan Mountain.

Yan Mao turned his head and looked at the Luan chariot going away. The empress is beautiful and famous, and His Majesty also loves her very much. She was diagnosed with a happy pulse at the beginning of this year. The imperial capital is Daqing, and now she should go for a spring outing.In September and October of this year, if the prince is born, it will be celebrated by the whole country and the world will be pardoned.

……

Goodbye Tianyan, it will be in the Bobie Garden in a few days.

The eldest princess was on the side, and a middle-aged man in purple waist and gold sat on the lower head.The queen said: "I have read your article alone. Han Shangshu admires you very much. He said that you have such a talent. It would be a pity to bury it."

Master Han, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is a leading figure in the literary world, full of economics.Yan Mao never thought that he would have such a good fortune, and he was praised highly by his master.

At that time, Master Han asked him: "If you have learned all the arts and martial arts and rushed to the field of fame and fortune, if one day you can really become a marquis and a minister, what do you want to do?"

He thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Mr. Hengqu once said: 'Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations.' If one day, I can be one, I will not This life is in vain."

…………

"Master," Yan Cang pushed open the door of the study, and said, "Duke Qing is gone."

Yan Mao looked away from the apricot blossom on the window sill, raised his eyelids, and said calmly, "How many glasses did you drop?"

"Uh..." Yan Cang choked for a moment, stretched out his hand to compare numbers, Qing Guogong Yan Yu said "Okay" three times before leaving, it seemed that he was very angry, and he definitely wouldn't let it go.

Yan Mao tapped the armrest of the armchair twice with his fingers: "My big brother, it's time to send a message to the Tanchuan family."

"Ok?"

Yan Mao didn't explain, and his tone was still light: "Just wait."

Yan Mao moved his eyes and looked at the branch of apricot blossoms sticking out of the window again, the study was quiet for a while, Yan Cang came over to refill him some tea, but he suddenly heard him say: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Yan Cang was taken aback. According to the past practice, as long as the Prime Minister mentioned His Majesty in private, it would definitely cause trouble.What's more, this question is very disrespectful. Yan Cang replied vigilantly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is very wise! Master Xiang, what do you want to do again?"

Yan Mao smiled slightly, turned his gaze back, shook his head and said with a long sigh of relief: "It's very wise."

Yan Cang: "...?" The sun came out from the west?

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Yan Mao said: "He is very similar to Cheng De."

That afternoon, Yan Mao worked in the study for a long time, and at night, he called Yan Cang and the housekeeper to the study, and gave the servants a generous reward, saying it was this year's spring reward.

Everyone in the house had a share, and everyone was smiling, but for some reason, when Yan Cang came out with the tray in his hand, he looked back at Yan Xiangli's back in the study, feeling a little ominous in his heart.

Both Jingzhang Palace and Yanxiang Mansion remained silent for a long time, and the more silent they were, the worse the situation felt for the big families.

Looking back, in mid-February, the candidate for the chief examiner was still undecided until Yan Xiangjingcheng came to see him... Within two days after that, His Majesty issued the decree, and it was chosen the day before welcoming the gods and offering sacrifices to the ancestors— —The next day the ceremony was suspended, and the ministers didn't even have a chance to question and argue, so Yan Xiang was firmly seated as the chief examiner.Perhaps when Yan Xiang persuaded His Majesty, he had already mentioned the suspension of the paperwork.The current hesitation is just to give time for these aristocratic families and many students outside to accept it.

If they want to keep things secret, the aristocratic family will never agree, and the execution of the papers is related to the family connections, so they must not be easily let go.The several major clans got together in a hurry to discuss the countermeasures for a joint boycott. Naturally, what they are most counting on right now is Yan Mao's family—the Tanchuan Yan family of Duke Qing's mansion, and Wen Xin, who is well-known among scholars. Hou Fu Yan He Shen.

On the evening of the ninth day of the lunar new year, Marquis Wen Xin saw off the patriarchs and guests of several great families, and returned to the study. The father and son had a discussion. Shen Wende asked his eldest son, Shen Yingbai, what he thought, and about Shen Dai.

……

On the tenth day of the next day, at the Grand Court Meeting in the Xuanzheng Palace, the emperor did not wait for the objections of the ministers, and issued an order in public, asking Yan Xiang to submit a new charter after Enke closed the book, and announced it to Kyushu after it was agreed.

Chu Heng left the palace this day, intending to meet Wu Zhi, a student from Ningzhou.

The imperial servant Mo is worthy of being called "close to the water", and his every move often attracts attention.Forget the World Teahouse, when someone arrives at the front foot, someone will invite you at the back foot.

Chu Heng turned around, it was Wen Xinhou's son Shen Yingbo.

On the day of the Shangsi Festival, Shen Yingbai was also invited to the Songshui Banquet in Fengchi, Chaoxian Mountain, and the matter was publicized at the Dachao Meeting. At that time, Xu Shao, the son of the Marquis of Jiayong, was also present.The whole family is now well-behaved. Before the Holy Majesty can express his opinion on Xingjuan, the entire Xu Mansion has consciously shrunk down, and they have not been involved in anything for the past two days.

But the Shen family and the Xu family are clearly not the same.

"Shizi Shen, do you have something to say?"

"Yes." Shen Yingbai got straight to the point: "This is not a place to talk, please ask Chu Shimo to talk with you step by step."

Chu Heng glanced at the carriage parked outside, and the guards of Shen's residence stood beside the arranged carriage benches, as if they expected that people would get into the carriage.Chu Heng withdrew his gaze, and said lightly: "If it's not convenient for Shen Shizi to say it, then forget it."

He turned around and wanted to go back, but Shen Yingbo remained calm and did not stop him.Only when Chu Heng turned sideways, he spoke in a low voice: "I know I can't stop the roll—"

Chu Heng paused at his feet, listening to him continue to finish speaking.

Shen Yingbo looked calm, and said firmly: "But Yan Xiang will die."

--------------------

①Yun Fei was born a few years later, and another incident occurred, not the period of marriage and newly-married. "Chapter 132 Great Gift" has a little bit of a sentence, and you can guess that there is a big cutie in that chapter.The arrangement of the Yan Yun family, if it was an ordinary family, would have succumbed to it long ago, but it is a pity that it is Yan Mao, and his fate is hard

②Chengde Empress Gu Huiyin is 00's Ma Ma, and the period Yan Xiang recalled was the third year of Jianning.Needless to say, the eldest princess of Changning, 00zi's aunt, was the eldest princess at that time.
