Gu Changfeng, who had been punished by Mrs. Guo's wife and thought behind closed doors, looked at his old bedroom that had fallen into the dust and was left unattended, with no ups and downs in his heart.

It can only be called the house where he lived for nearly two decades, not his home. His home is in Shenjia Village, Dongjiang County, Qinghe County, where the young man who respects and loves him.

After tidying up the house, Gu Changfeng found the military book his father gave him back then.

Stroking the yellowed paper and the old handwriting of the military book, Gu Changfeng's eyes were so dark that it could not be removed.

My father came home suddenly that day because he found that the woman treated him harshly. He quarreled with that woman and punished a lot of offenders. My father didn’t go back to the master bedroom that night. If my father didn’t have a room with her, he would How did the half-brother come from?

Gu Changfeng put down his military book and quietly walked out of the room in the dark that night. No one pays any attention to him except the little guard at the door, which is convenient for him.

I am very familiar with the place have lived for nearly 20 years. Gu Changfeng avoided the guards patrolling the mansion and touched the main courtyard.

Now that everything in the Guogong Mansion is in the hands of the woman, the main courtyard has changed a lot according to the woman's preferences. Gu Changfeng looked for two or three rooms before finding a place where the second son lived.

Compared with his old house in ash, this second son's house, who is less than three years old, is extremely luxuriously decorated, with precious decorations everywhere.

The room was brightly lit, and several green-clothed maids knelt on the ground tremblingly with their heads down. An old doctor with white hair and beard was checking the pulse of a tear-stained child on the bed. A maidservant who was slightly brighter than the others lay on the ground with her swollen face in her hands and wept softly. Mrs. Du Ke scolded her with a sullen face: "This is how you take care of your son?"

"Madame forgive me, it is really the little son who insists on playing peekaboo with the servant girl, but the servant girl can't stop it!" The servant girl cried bitterly.

"What's the use of you if you can't stop it?" Mrs. Guo was furious: "Come on! Drag this damn maid!"

"Madam, please be merciful! Madam, please be merciful!" The maid's eyes widened in horror, and she hurriedly climbed to the feet of the lady of the country and knocked her head. Mrs. Du Ke kicked her away and let her go.

The old doctor stroked his beard and sighed. When Mrs. Du Ke saw this, the sad expression between her eyebrows could not be concealed: "Doctor Zhang, what happened to my son?"

"The young man catches a cold and has a fever. It should be fine if he takes the medicine to reduce the fever. It's just that the young man is too weak to move too much..." the old doctor exhorted.

Gu Changfeng's eyes couldn't help but fall on the child. The child’s facial features are a bit like his mother, but a child who is almost three years old, thin and small, looks very bad.

After the medicine was given and groomed, Mrs. Guogong wanted to put the child to sleep, but the child was sobbing and screamed uncomfortably. Mrs. Guogong was so distressed that she softly comforted her for a long time. The child closed her eyes dumbly when she was tired .

Mrs. Du Ke caressed the child's sparse hair, kissed his cheek affectionately, and apologized in her eyes: "A good boy, it's all bad for the mother, if I let you..."

The voice was almost whispering, Gu Changfeng couldn't hear clearly, his eyes looked at the embracing mother and son with complicated eyes, then turned and left.

As long as the news of his return to Guarding Nation Duke Mansion reaches the emperor's ears, the emperor will understand his attitude. If the emperor intends to let him take over his father's corresponding affairs, he will have something to say in these few days.

Guarding Nation Duke Mansion... he won't stay long.

The dark guard who was sent out by Zhao Yu to investigate the situation of the concubines in the backyard of King of Jinyang in the Imperial Study Room bowed his head and reported:

"The king of Jinyang is handsome, handsome and passionate, and many officials or the sons and daughters of a wealthy party fall in love with him. The king of Jinyang does not refuse to come, and the high-ranking concubine promises each other as a side concubine, and uses this as a bond. Bind his family for his use..."

The situation in the King of Jinyang Palace now is the iron concubine's side concubine and concubine, except for the princess Gu Qingyao standing still, those concubine concubines in the backyard have changed batch after batch.

"Not all people in the backyard of the Royal Palace admire King of Jinyang. They married into the Royal Palace only because they were found to be alone in the same room with King of Jinyang..."

This fact is really incredible. Who would have thought that a king of King of Jinyang would betray his hue for ulterior purposes, and even devote himself to designing those women who do not like him, Shuang'er, to marry him!

"Extremely next work." Zhao Yu suddenly thought of King of Jinyang's visit to Su Family Heshou and almost slept with Su Qingze. His handsome face was like frost, and his gloomy black eyes surged with murderous intent, and said in a deep voice. : "Continue monitoring."

"Yes." The man in black led his way.

There is a paper on the imperial case. The author's handwriting is free and easy, and the article is well-founded and well-founded. Zhao Yu's gaze rests on the signature Shen Yan, twisting his eyebrows and thinking deeply.

Outside the door, a little eunuch passed on: "Enjoy the emperor, please, please!"

Zhao Yu's thoughts were interrupted and a little displeased. It is thought that the woman who refused to arrange for him the queen mother was very angry with the queen mother and calmed down some of her emotions, and said coldly: "Stop driving."

The soothing fragrance in Ci'an Palace where the empress dowager lived wafted through the room, but the owner of the Ci'an Palace was in an uneasy mood.

The luxuriously dressed and well-maintained woman frowned and looked at Zhao Yu who had come to Shi Shizhe: "Why, if the Ai's family had requested, the emperor would not come to see the old lady of Ai's family?"

"The mother's empress forgive me, but I don't want to come. It's really an annoyance about national affairs. I am uncertain, afraid to speak against the mother's empress." Zhao Yu stepped forward and took a seat.

The queen mother didn’t care: “State affairs? What is there to worry about? But I have heard of it. It is nothing more than barbaric negotiation. Now the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. No one is willing to war again. What is wrong with discussing peace?"

If this is the opinion that a wise man would scold women, it is a pity that she was born as a queen mother, and her horizons are limited, but luck depends on her son to become the most noble woman in Daqi, and she has no sense of national affairs.

Zhao Yu only drank tea and said nothing, and the Queen Mother was a little displeased: "The Ai family is sordid, and the emperor doesn't want to listen to this matter. But for another matter, the emperor needs to listen to the Ai family!"

"The king of Jinyang has been in the family for a long time, but nothing has come out..." The queen mother was worried.

If the Guardian was still there, he would definitely tell the Queen Mother that King of Jinyang has many women, and he did sow many seeds. Unfortunately, he is a pervert. The cultivation time is too short and the quality of the seeds is not good. Over time, they become More and more perverted.

"It's not that no concubines are pregnant, but they are all shedding!" The queen mother said, her face became serious, and she said with confidence, "It must be those women Shuang'er who are too delicate!"

Zhao Yu frowned, feeling that what the Queen Mother was going to say was too ridiculous.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother looked at him and said: "The Ai family heard that the tall, strong, and fit eldest son of the Guogong Mansion has returned to the mansion. Why should he be married to the King of Jinyang as a concubine?"

With cold eyes, Zhao Yu put down the tea cup in his hand: "Where does the empress want me to go with?"

The Queen Mother was taken aback, Zhao Yu sternly said: "The King of Jinyang was born in Guarding Nation Duke, and King of Jinyang became a romantic man. The queen mother actually asked me to marry Guarding Nation Duke's concubine, who died for the country, to him as a concubine? "

"The Queen of Jinyang loves King of Jinyang, but I can't let me chill the hearts of millions of soldiers on the border!"

The queen mother sneered and insisted: "The eldest son is so old and still can't get married, so what if he points to King of Jinyang as a side concubine?"

Look at Zhao Yu's calm face, full of anger. The queen mother knew that she was wrong, but was unwilling to be so rebellious about Zhao Yu, she said: "Fall! That eldest son has been missing for so long. Once back to the capital, he was intimate with a man. It seems that he is not a serious person! Although King of Jinyang Merry but caring for people, he is not worthy of King of Jinyang!" When Gu Changfeng returned to the mansion, every family in the capital was just surprised that he survived a catastrophe and quickly accepted the news. After all, the Guarding Nation Duke mansion just set him up. Cloth mound.

Zhao Yu didn't want to hear her talk about King of Jinyang anymore, and said quietly: "There will be a palace exam tomorrow. I have to go back and prepare, so I will leave first."

Suddenly, the queen mother's face was hard to look. After Zhao Yu left, she cried to the grandmother beside her: "The older the emperor, the more he will not wait to see the old lady of Ai's family. Fortunately, the Ai's family suffered all the humiliation and humiliation in order to give birth to him. ..."

The mother quickly comforted her: "The emperor has indeed neglected you, but you still have the King of Jinyang!"

The Queen Mother sighed: "King of Jinyang is now in the fief. It is difficult for Aijia to see him..."

Zhao Yu came out of Ci'an Palace with a sullen face, and then said to the servant: "Check who the queen mother has met in the past few days." Even if the queen mother mentioned King of Jinyang, she mentioned Gu Changfeng for no reason. The queen mother's ears were soft and sure Someone chewed on the tongue.

Returning to the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Yu read Shen Yanbei's paper again. After a long time of deliberation, he spread out a blank imperial edict and shook his ink.

The next day, Shen Yanbei, who was alone in the vacant room, got up and took care of himself before it was lighted.

This time, there were a total of 320 tributes from the Enke, and the hall examination results were divided into three categories. The top three are given to Jinshi and the first class, that is, the top picks can be directly awarded to officials. One-third of the second-tier scholars who pass the exam will be given a scholarship background, and the remainder will be given a top three qualifications. The top two and top three can also be officials, but they can only be admitted to the Imperial Academy as officials, and the rest can be sent to the court when there are vacancies in the official positions.

It is not easy for him to get the top spot among these three hundred and twenty people. Shen Yanbei sighed, always feeling that his wife was not around, and he couldn't do anything.

I don't know what happened to my wife...

Shen Yanbei looked at the direction of Guarding Nation Duke Mansion with a slightly solemn expression.

The hall test was held in the Showa Palace. Several low tables were placed in the hall, and the tributes entered the hall and chose one low table to stand. The imperial court was not allowed to give a seat, and everyone in the palace test had to kneel down.

After waiting for a while, a sharp voice from the waiter came: "The emperor is here!"

Zhao Yu, wearing a bright yellow robe with five-clawed golden dragon flying above it, and wearing a diadem, walked unhurriedly. The tributes knelt down and saluted in unison: "See the emperor!"

Shen Yanbei looked at the pattern of the tiles on the ground, feeling a little depressed. The worst part of this ancient time is to kneel! Fortunately, he has fame and fame, and he doesn't have to kneel when he sees an official. But facing the highest authority in this country, he still had to bend his knees.

"No ceremony, flat body." Zhao Yu took his seat and ordered everyone to stand and answer the question, then nodded to the cabinet scholar Zhang Youzheng. Immediately, an examination paper was handed out by the examiner to each Gongshi. As soon as the bronze bell rang, he began to answer the questions.

The topic of the palace examination is current affairs policy, that is, the countermeasures on current affairs. There is another additional question, which actually lists some foreign equipment and asks how these things can be used for the people.

Shen Yanbei twitched his mouth, feeling that this topic was tailor-made for him!

Not in a hurry to write, Shen Yanbei straightened his thoughts first, and then drafted on the manuscript paper. One day for the palace exam, he had enough time to clean up the essays and write them on the exam papers.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Yu supported it with one hand and looked at the examinee below with a cold expression. As time passed by, Zhao Yu seemed to sit impatiently and got up and shuttled among the candidates.

When some Gongshi saw him walking to his side, some were so excited that they didn't dare to squint, and some had their feet soft and immediately knelt down. Zhao Yu waved his hand blankly and walked to the next candidate.

"The emperor!" Seeing that his actions made all the candidates uneasy and unable to answer the questions, Zhang Youzheng hurriedly ended.

Zhao Yu was standing next to Shen Yanbei at this time. Shen Yanbei had no respect for the emperor. He just smiled and nodded before continuing to answer the question.

Zhang Youzheng was about to persuade Zhao Yu to go back to his seat, but found that the candidate beside Zhao Yu was different and very calm, and he walked over to take a look at it--

"It's you!" Zhang Youzheng's eyes lit up suddenly, already recognizing Shen Yanbei.

So Zhang Youzheng also stood beside Shen Yanbei watching his answer.

Shen Yanbei touched his nose, somewhat helpless. This hall test does not eat, drink or go to the toilet. It is abnormal enough. The chief examiner is still staring at people to answer the questions. What if the examinee's mental quality is not good?

Although complaining in his heart, Shen Yanbei did not hesitate to write.

Looking at Zhao Yu while twisting his eyebrows and thinking deeply, Zhang Youzheng's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he wants to clap his hands for praise.

Gradually, the sun moved to the center position. Zhang Youzheng stood a little bit sore, and persuaded Zhao Yu to take a meal and rest first.

Knowing that he would not be able to finish it for a while, Zhao Yu said: "There is still time, you can answer slowly." After saying that, when he returned to his seat, a court lady immediately brought pastries, fruits and other food.

This exam is until the evening of the sun.

There was a "ding" and then the bronze bell rang, and all the candidates immediately stopped writing and stood up, lining up to leave the examination room one by one.

"Submit the paper." Zhao Yu said to Zhang Youzheng. Zhang Youzheng got it right and went to take Shen Yanbei's papers to Zhao Yu for reference.

"Brother Shen, congratulations!"

Just after walking out of Showa Palace, Zhang Cheng and several others congratulated Shen Yanbei. The attitude of the emperor just now was seen by everyone, and they all thought that Shen Yanbei had entered the emperor's eyes, and he would surely become soaring in the future.

Shen Yanbei arched his hands and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't make fun of me!"

Several people praised him for being too modest, and Shen Yanbei did not want to stand out from the crowd, and said goodbye after a few words of the scene.

On the second day of the hall examination, the eight scoring officers presented the ten papers with the best results to Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu flipped through the papers of these ten people. When the scoring officer reviewed the papers, he thought that the best one would draw a circle on it. He found that two people got the same number of circles, so he asked the eight people what they thought.

The old prime minister frowned and said, "Shen Gongshi's point of view is indeed novel, but it is too unbelievable, not as practical as Liu Gongshi!"

"The minister thinks that Shen Gongshi has something to say!" Zhang Youzheng said, "His views are well-founded, and there are real objects to test, which shows that Shen Gongshi has a lot of knowledge and thought!"

"The lord, what do you think this telescope is? What is the pepper?"

...

After hearing the opinions of several people, Zhao Yujing gave a pen to imperial approval and appointed three people.
