    ?

    ? On the third day of March, in the Wenhua Hall, the officials who read the scrolls knelt down to welcome the emperor and the prince.

    The spirit of spring is strong, but the old emperor's hair on the temples is like frosted autumn grass, dry and scarce, his wrinkled eyelids are drooping, leaving only a narrow eye slit, and he is staring at the imperial scholars kneeling in front of the court.  The official of the Ministry of Rites said in a hoarse voice, "Get up."

    After finishing speaking, he sat down tremblingly under the support of the personal eunuch and the prince, leaned on the carved dragon chair, and rolled two Wenwan walnuts with his thin five fingers, turning a blind eye to the prince who personally served the tea, and could only preach weakly  : "Let's get started."

    Seeing that his father didn't look at him too much, Zhu Wenli had no choice but to gently put the hot tea on the food table in front of the dragon chair, then stepped aside and stood with his head bowed.

    Sizheng, the spring is just right, and the examiner begins to read the papers.

    The papers selected this time are all the outstanding ones selected by a group of great scholars, and almost the top three are scheduled. As for who is the first and who is the second, the emperor will personally decide after reading the papers.  In the past, these matters were handed over to the queen and the prince to take care of them, but this year, for some reason, the emperor was so interested in the palace examination that he came to the Wenhua Palace to listen to the papers in person.

    In this way, the examiner was even more cautious, solemnly picked up the first paper, and read it clearly and loudly.

    This test paper is recognized by everyone as the best, with sharp and unique insights, rigorous and fluent language, and more than a thousand words of eloquence.  Seriously, I hope that the Holy Spirit will appreciate and cherish talents.

    Unexpectedly, halfway through the reading, the emperor Youyou, who had just closed his eyes and dozed off, opened his eyes and said, "Submit it here for me to see."

    The examiner thought that the emperor was impressed by the talent of the tribute student, got up quickly, and presented the blurred paper with both hands, and then passed it to the emperor through the hand of the close old eunuch.  The old eunuch put the whisk in his belt, knelt down with the scroll in both hands, and used his body as a case to unfold the scroll with elegant handwriting for the emperor to watch.

    Standing behind the emperor, Zhu Wenli saw this majestic current affairs policy article with lowered eyes, and his heart moved.

    He has only seen such a clean and beautiful Xingkai twice, but each time he was deeply impressed Besides her, who else can write such elegant characters and make such articles that point out the current problems?

    But it may not be a good thing to show your sharpness at this time.

    Zhu Wenli watched the emperor's expression calmly, and secretly sweated for Jiang Yan in his heart.

    The emperor didn't show any emotion, just glanced at the handwriting on the scroll, and then said in a muddy and old voice: "This scroll is not allowed, it's down."

    This paper is top-notch in terms of writing and knowledge, but for some reason, the emperor, who has always been indifferent to the world of mortals, has made the final decision this time, withdrawing as soon as he said it!

    "This" The examiner and the grand scholars were a little embarrassed, and subconsciously glanced at the prince.

    Zhu Wenli hurriedly took a step forward, saluted and said: "Father, the talents of pillars and beams are the lifeblood of the country, you should read other papers before deciding whether to abolish it or not!"

    The Hanlin Bachelor followed closely, and asked after consideration: "Your Majesty, I'm dull, I don't know what's wrong with this answer sheet? Please tell your Majesty clearly. On the day when the list is released, I can give the scholars an explanation."

    All officials seconded.

    The emperor just turned the Wenwan walnut in his hand rustlingly, his tilted head shook uncontrollably slightly, as if he was showing signs of hemiplegia.

    The sun was rising high, and the sun cautiously slanted in from outside the hall, but it still couldn't dispel the coldness inside the hall that had lasted for thousands of years.  I don't know how long I waited, I only know that the birds on the stone steps outside the hall came and went, the light and shadow changed quietly, and fine cold sweat oozes from the foreheads of everyone, only then did I hear the emperor who was crooked in the dragon chair cough heavily, and his chest  Made a 'ho ho' noise, and said very slowly: "The identity of the person answering the paper is inappropriate."

    Hearing this, all the officials were puzzled, and there were murmurs of discussion in the hall for a while.

    Only Zhu Wenli guessed: Father must have recognized Jiang Yan's handwriting and deliberately suppressed it.  After all, in his opinion, no matter how capable Jiang Yan is, Daming's No. 1 scholar cannot be a woman

    The Hanlin scholar paid homage to the Son of Heaven again, and asked, "Your Majesty, the examination papers of all the tribute students have been anonymized. We don't know the name of the master of this policy. I don't know why Your Majesty is certain that this person's identity is inappropriate? If you really don't  Well, it should also be handed over to Ruan Shangshu to check whether there are any criminals in the three generations of his ancestors before making a decision. I implore Your Majesty to think twice, and don't miss the talents of the pillars with your own thoughts."

    The emperor naturally couldn't tell the real reason.

    ?Last time at the Lu Ming Banquet, although he acquiesced to Jiang Yan's admission to the official position, he only allowed Jiang Yan to take the exam as a man, and ordered the court to keep silent.  The existence of Jiang Yan has become an open secret in the palace examination to verify the identity of Gongsheng's ancestral home, but no one dares to put it on the table.I know.  If I really fail the ranking, it's okay, I have done my best, and I have a clear conscience.  Ayu's matter, it is necessary to spend more effort on "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".  "

    Judging from her tone, it seems that she still has a second hand.  Fu Li asked, "What's the plan?"

    "The plan has some twists and turns, some difficulties, maybe" Maybe, there are some dangers.

    Jiang Yan thought about it for a second, but she didn't want to go on.  She twitched the horse's buttocks with a willow stick, forcing the horse to gallop, and quickly left Fu Li behind on the mountain road, and hearty laughter came from afar: "I'll tell you when you come back from a business trip¡ª"

    The sky was high and the clouds were clear, the two mountains were majestic, and the green mountains and green waters, Fu Li watched her galloping towards her figure, couldn't help laughing, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the back of his knife to keep up.

    After noon, the mountain road became steeper and narrower, Jiang Yan had no choice but to dismount from his horse with Fu Li, tied the horse in the forest, and walked the last section of the mountain road on foot.

    At this time, the trees are dense, the branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, and all the sunlight is shaded, and even the birds are silent.  Such a quiet and desolate deep mountain and wild forest is indeed not a good place for an outing. If it wasn't for Fu Li's company and courage, Jiang Yan would definitely have to go back home.

    "Fu Li, why did you bring me to this remote and deep forest?" Her temples were wet with sweat, panting as she followed Fu Li, who was striding like flying, and jokingly said, "It's not because you want to treat me"

    Having said that, she raised her eyebrows, with a look that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

    Fu Li didn't know what to think of, his ears were reddish, he stared at her in disbelief, and said after a long while, "What are you thinking about? After reading sage books for several years, why are you still full of frivolous words?"

    Jiang Yan laughed loudly: "I didn't say anything, I'm afraid you have ghosts in your heart, and your mind is full of frivolous images?"

    "Go back and deal with you!" Fu Li said fiercely with his head sideways.  He didn't know if it was the heat or something else, but one of his ears was even more red, and the surroundings were so quiet for a while that there was only the slight sound of footsteps on the path.

    After a while, Fu Li said in a low voice, "I'll bring you to meet someone."

    "Meet someone??" Jiang Yan was shocked: In this kind of place?  !

    Just as his hair stood on end, Fu Li stopped and said towards a certain place ahead: "Here we are."

    There are evergreen pines and cypresses, towering ancient trees, and there is a raised stone barrier ten feet away in front of it. In front of the stone barrier stands a solemn long stele, on which are engraved with the words "Tomb of the Fu Family Group".

    And a few feet away behind the stele, stands a lonely tomb.  Jiang Yan walked forward with Fu Li, and only when she stood in front of the tomb did she recognize the words on the tombstone: Tomb of the late wife Fu Su.

    The breeze blew by, taking away Jiang Yan's messy thoughts.  She was silent for a while before she said in a daze, "This is"

    "My mother. Before I met you, she was the woman who treated me best in this world." As he spoke, Fu Li knelt down on one knee, carefully brushing off the dust and fallen leaves on the cold stone tablet, with a serious and sacred expression, hanging down  With low eyes, he said, "I can't take you back to Fu's house to meet your father for the time being, and I don't want to wrong you, so I will bring you to my mother first."

    In an instant, countless emotions emerged in Jiang Yan's heart, some were touched, some were distressed, and there was a trace of sourness

    Looking at his lonely figure kneeling on one knee, Jiang Yan suddenly understood: It turned out that Fu Li, who seemed invulnerable to swords and guns, was not really omnipotent.  He also has wounds and weaknesses, but they are hidden very deeply and revealed inadvertently, which makes people feel more distressed.

    Seeing that Jiang Yan was silent, Fu Li raised his eyes and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Don't mind bringing you here without authorization."

    He obviously misunderstood her silence.  Jiang Yan shook her head with a smile, said nothing, just raised her skirt and kowtowed three times solemnly towards Fu Su's tombstone.

    A bird on the treetop flew across the sky, and flew towards the majestic palaces of Yingtian Mansion.

    At noon, the dispute in Wenhua Palace had come to an end.

    Fu Shoufu, who was temporarily invited to adjudicate, looked at the answer sheet with his name blurred in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then closed the paper and said: "In my humble opinion, the abolition and removal of the name is indeed too heavy, it is better to go from the first to the third, and to be the third."  A Tanhualang in name only, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about the ups and downs of the dynasty, and he can satisfy His Majesty¡¯s heart, so he is worthy of this talent.¡±
