Emperor Hong was very annoyed at this moment.

Not only is Fu????? Princess Fuxia doing this unethically, but she has also been hiding it from herself.

It's really audacious to bully the king.

After his anger dissipated, Emperor Hong calmed down, feeling sorry for Wen Xuan who died young.

Wen Xuan was smart and handsome since he was a child, otherwise, why would Capital City only pass on Prince Wen's peerless beauty?

He has also seen Wen Xuan's poems, prose, and policy theories. He has brilliant literary talent, citing the past and the present, and he is very talented as a general of Yongchanghou. He was already an outstanding student in the Imperial College., He also cited a good strategy to ask himself to destroy the bandits.

Facts have also proved that Wen Xuan deserves to be reused. He not only wiped out the bandits, but also found out the moths in the court.

It's a pity that Marquis Anshun and other rebellious ministers and traitors were the first to kill him. Wen Xuan died before he was as weak as the crown, and the Great Zhou Dynasty also lost a talented person.

Today, there is Zhang Yulang who is very similar to him. From the beginning of the county examination, he has been admitted to Jinshi step by step and ranked second.

After hearing that Zhang Yulang resembled Prince Wen in appearance, Emperor Hong took a look at his ink scroll.

The poems and prose are excellent, and the policy theory is quick and thoughtful. The narration is emotional, the appeal is reasonable, and the reasoning is consistent. All kinds of allusions are easy to come by.

Looking at it now, are they worshiping famous teachers and Confucian scholars together, or have they been Wen Xuan's substitute all these years, under the influence of subtle influences, the two are equally knowledgeable?

If this is the case, isn't this Zhang Yulang also a man of great talent?

Emperor Hong hesitated for a moment.

On the second day, when Liu Fuan told Zhang Yulang to go out of the palace, Emperor Hong looked at the man kneeling in front of him, and suddenly asked, "If you become an official in the court, Zhang Yulang, what kind of official do you want to be?"

Zhang Yulang's heart, which had been anxious all night, suddenly calmed down, and he said loudly: "If I have the opportunity to be an official in the future, I will be a pure minister."

Hearing this, Emperor Hong smiled slightly, waved his hand, and asked Liu Fuan to send someone to send Zhang Yulang out.

Zhang Yulang walked out of the palace gate, looking at the heaven and earth, his heart was as bright as the rising winter sun.

"Yuro!"

Chen Nianguan didn't sleep all night yesterday, he came early to squat outside the palace gate, seeing Zhang Yulang was released at this time, he couldn't help being surprised, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards his husband.

Zhang Yulang smiled and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms: "Wan Wan, I'm safe."

"real?"

Chen Nianguan still couldn't believe it, seeing Zhang Yulang nodded affirmatively.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since that day, Zhang Yulang said frankly that he had been taken captive by the Marquis of Yongchang's wife Fuxia, and detained in the Hou's mansion.I was dumbfounded.

If this was changed in her previous life, wouldn't it be kidnapping and imprisonment?

But in the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people could only sigh to themselves that they were unlucky when they got involved with the powerful, especially the princess who had a close relationship with the royal family.

Zhang Yulang was worried that he had no power. If Princess Fu Xia approached him, he could only let him bully him. So he thought of avoiding his edge first, and then becoming famous, becoming an existence that Princess Fu Xia should be afraid of.Through entanglement and assassination from Yongchang Marquis Residence.

But looking at it now, Zhang Yulang's plan has come true?

When they returned to Xianggui Street, everyone in the palace heaved a sigh of relief knowing that Zhang Yulang had been detained.

Chen Nianguan did not tell everyone about the secret of Zhang Yulang and Yongchang Marquis Residence. If this matter is kept hidden, there is naturally room for mediation with Yongchang Marquis Residence, but if it is widely publicized, Yongchang Marquis Residence will be placed in the whirlpool of rumorsHowever, there is no guarantee that Princess Fu Xia will jump over the wall in a hurry and attack them instead, which is not worth the candle.

Therefore, Chen Nianwan and his wife felt that there was no need to mention this matter, as long as Emperor Hong and related people knew about it.

After stepping over the brazier and letting Zhang Yulang wash and wash up, and when everyone gathered for dinner, Liu Feng rushed back from the Grand Buddhist Temple and was relieved to see that his cousin-in-law was fine.

After Zhang Erlang entered the palace examination yesterday, he did not leave the palace for a long time, so his cousin asked him to find Xiao Seventh Master, who was serving as an errand in the palace.

But every time Liu Feng met people at the Grand Buddhist Temple, every time something happened, Manager Xiao Liu would come to Xianggui Street to look for him. How did he know where to find Xiao Seventh Master?

So had to go to the Grand Buddhist Temple.

As a result, it wasn’t long before I went to the Grand Buddhist Temple. Before I went to Master Ming Hai’s nunnery, I saw Master Ming Hai hurriedly left with a group of armored guards. I didn’t know until I asked the monks of the Grand Buddhist Temple.It was Lao Tzu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the palace, who had something to do with him.

What can Liu Feng do?

After only a few steps, he was chased away by the armored guards, and it was already too late to return to the city, so he could only stay overnight in the Grand Buddhist Temple, and came back early this morning, and heard that Zhang Yulang was unharmed.Take it easy.

Everyone saw that although Zhang Yulang was haggard, he was in good spirits, and they were unwilling to discuss the reason for his detention in the palace.

"Cousin-in-law, you're wrong. You know you won't be able to get out of the palace, so we're worried about you. Why don't you just say why you were left in the palace overnight by the emperor? It's too disrespectful!"Liu Feng, who was worried and frightened all night, hummed.

"It's not that there's nothing you can't say, but I'm afraid that there will be too many people talking, and if you say it, there will be rumors."

"We will never pass it on or tell it." Everyone present swore.

That is the imperial palace, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, let alone being able to be stayed in the palace overnight by the emperor.

I heard that the palace is resplendent and resplendent, even the floor tiles and eaves are made of gold.

There must be some reason why Zhang Yulang was able to sleep in the most honorable place in the world.

Zhang Yulang glanced at Chen Nianguan and smiled, "Actually, the reason is very simple. It's not rumored that I look very similar to the son of Yongchang Marquis Residence?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

"The current Holy Majesty has also heard about this rumor, and Prince Wen happens to be his nephew. Driven by curiosity, he asked me a few words. It was already late after the examination ended. After the question, the palace gate was locked, soJust let me spend the night in the palace by the way."

"It's that simple?" Zeng Si couldn't believe it.

There are more than 300 Jinshi, but Zhang Er saw the one taken away by the imperial army. Those who witnessed said that the imperial army was aggressive, and thought that Zhang Er had committed something, but now Zhang Er said that Emperor Hong was just out of curiosity.Prince Wen looks ordinary, so he was called to ask questions?

Zeng Si didn't believe it.

Besides, Zhang Er's move away from Xianggui Street before the test is also very suspicious, as if he was guarding against someone—no, he was guarding against Princess Fu Xia who came to the door later.

However, because of the lessons learned from Princess Fu Xia who came to the door in person that day, many people still believed it.

After all, even Prince Wen's biological mother couldn't help but want to come to see what happened. The emperor is also a human being. He chatted with Zhang Er out of curiosity, and it seemed reasonable to miss the time when he was out of the palace.

So everyone stopped asking.

Afterwards, what Ren Zengsi said, Zhang Er just kept silent, Zeng Si had no choice but to silence, and the two concentrated on waiting for the results of the palace examination the day after tomorrow.

There are only three days for reviewing papers in the palace examination.

At this time, Emperor Hong had already obtained the list of the top twenty Jinshi.

According to the practice of Chunwei over the years, he will usually review the Zhu Juan of the top ten Jinshi in detail, and then point out the number one scholar, the second place and Tanhua.

Emperor Hong looked at the list selected by the ministers, starting from the first place, pretending to be indifferent, but actually paying attention to whether Zhang Yulang's Zhu Juan was among the ten.

And when he reviewed the fifth paper, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

This is Zhang Yulang's paper.

It turned out that he was going to lose three places in the competition.

Emperor Hong remembered the first four parts of the test paper, the first place was Huiyuan Lang Jiang Yu, the second place was a disciple of Moge Lao in the court, the third place was a Langjun from the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and the third placeThe four are the third sons of the Qing family of Dali Temple.

Ah!

Of course, Jiang Yu needless to mention that he is from the Jiang family of Xianfei's natal family. The third son of Dali Temple's Qing family has always been close to the third son, and Mr. Moge and the Duke of Zhen are both in the same line of princes.people.

From this point of view, the first few names were divided up by the third child and the prince respectively.

Emperor Hong snorted coldly.

Take out Zhang Yulang's paper and put it first, then put the name of Su Ruitian from Zhenguo Gongfu's mansion in the second place, and then put Jiang Yu's name in the third place, so the students behindThe ranking remains unchanged.

The ministers waiting in the hall, seeing that Emperor Hong had hand-picked the ranks of Jinshi this time, all dared not show their anger.

"Okay, this is the first and second class in the Chunwei selection. If you have any doubts, you can raise it, and I will listen to you."

The ministers all bowed one after another: "I have no objection, Your Majesty is wise."

On the day when the list was released, the three hundred Jinshi once again gathered at the gate of the palace with new clothes in the twilight of morning.

Jiang Yu was still the leader, and when the bell rang, he was led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, followed by all the civil and military officials, and entered the palace.

From a distance, everyone kowtowed three times and nine times to Emperor Hong on the jade steps. All civil and military officials entered the hall, and the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and three hundred Jinshi quietly waited for good news.

After a long time, Liu Fuan held the imperial decree and walked slowly to the top of the jade steps, condescendingly, and glanced at the new Jinshi who were below.

Immediately, the three hundred Jinshi held their breath.

Zhang Erlang also clenched his hands into fists like Jiang Yu who was at the front of the row.

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered: On the twelfth day of March in the twenty-ninth year of Shunhong, the tributes of the new disciplines will be tested. The first class will be awarded as a Jinshi and rank, the second class will be awarded as a Jinshi by birth, and the third class will be awarded as a Jinshi with birth."

"In the 29th year of Shunhong's palace examination, he was the first, the first place, Zhang Yulang."

What?

The three hundred Jinshi faintly heard the name, and Jiang Yu could hear it clearly. He turned his head quickly and stared at Zhang Yulang. Zhang Yulang originally doubted whether he had heard the name clearly, but seeing Jiang Yu's reaction was so strong, he was sure and smiled slightly: "Champion, is that me?"

Seeing Zhang Yulang's calm expression, Jiang Yu was tickled with hatred.

At this time, the voice of chanting came down from the first song:

"In the 29th year of Shunhong's palace examination, he was the first, the first place, Zhang Yulang."

"In the 29th year of Shunhong's palace examination, he was the first, the first place, Zhang Yulang."

Now, everyone heard clearly and looked at Zhang Yulang one after another. Even Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si who were in the back couldn't help but look at Zhang Yulang with envy.

This guy, although the second is already very close to the first, but after all, after the palace examination, there are still various sects behind the students wrestling, but unexpectedly, he still got the first place.

Fan Shilang looked at him with joy.

Knowing this, Zhang Erlang came out, knelt down on the corridor, and thanked him again.

He is the number one scholar!

The commercial building in Wan Wan can be called the Zhuangyuan Building!

Zhang Erlang couldn't help smiling, got up, and stood in line again.

And in the first song, Liu Fuan is still singing the first three Jinshi:

"In the 29th year of Shunhong's palace examination, he was the first and the second, Su Ruitian."

"In the twenty-ninth year of Shunhong's palace examination, the first place, and the third place, Jiang Yu."

"Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, Tanhualang!"

Zhang Yulang congratulated Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, his tense face relaxed, and turned around to greet Zhang Yulang back: "Congratulations, Zhuangyuan Lang!"

Zhang Yulang saw that Jiang Yu was in a bad mood, so he didn't touch the bad luck.

After leading Liu Fuan to sing the name of Erjia Tou Ming Chuanlu, Fan Shilang led Chuanlu up, and sang the roster of Erjia Scholars through Xinke Chuanlu.

Chen Nianjian was ranked nineteenth and was fortunate enough to enter the second class.

And Zeng Si's ranking has improved a few places, ranking 212th, and he is a top three Jinshi.

It took time to read all the rankings of the three hundred Jinshi, but when the list of the top three Jinshi began to be announced, Fan Shilang had already called Zhang Yulang, Su Ruitian and Jiang Yu, and left the venue first.

doing what?

Naturally, they were led to the Ministry of Rites, changed into vermilion robes and flowered hats, and prepared for the grand street parade of the first three first-ranked Chunwei newcomers.

At the same time, outside the Meridian Gate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites also posted the gold list.

Seeing the family members with their own student rankings, they cheered and sighed from time to time.

Chen Nianwan didn't look at the list. She, Siya, Liu Qing and others had already booked the restaurant where Zhuangyuan Lang would parade in the street, and waited inside. The ones who came to see the list were Xiaoyou and the two beasts.

Xiao You was agile and was in charge of leading the battle. Almost as soon as the gold list was posted, he slid into the crowd with a thud, and quickly jumped to the front like a swimming snake.

After finding the names of Zhang Erlang and Chen Nianjian, he slipped into the crowd again and quickly returned to the side of the two beasts.

"How?" The two beasts asked nervously.

"Our young master is the number one scholar!" Xiao You said in an overjoyed tone.

The two beasts were stunned.

What kind of good luck is Mr. Zhang?

How could he just let him win the No. 1 Scholar crown so easily?

"Go, we have to tell Master Chen to go!"

Soon, Xiao You and the others found the restaurant that Chen Nianguan and the others had booked early in the morning. When Chen Nianguan heard that Zhang Er was really the number one scholar, he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He grabbed Liu Yun beside him and shook vigorously: "Yunyun, your cousin-in-law is the champion, your cousin-in-law is the champion!"

"Yes, congratulations to cousin Hexi cousin!" Liu Yun was shaken until his head almost fell off, but he was considerate of his cousin's happy mood and was cheerful.

"Cousin, calm down, reserved, my cousin's husband is the number one scholar, and you are the wife of the number one scholar." Liu Qing saw that the people next to her were all looking towards her, and she coughed dryly to appease her cousin, but the smile on her face was also revealedHis true mood.

Hey, my cousin-in-law actually won the first prize.

Their Liu family unexpectedly has an in-law of the No. 1 scholar, which is too powerful.

Chen Nianguan calmed down after a while, wiped his face, still excited, my God, a few days ago I was afraid that my husband would lose his life, but today I am a master, champion man!

I don't know how happy would be if A Niang knew about it!

By the way, there is also her new high-rise building, which can finally be hung with a plaque.

Zhuangyuan Building, how magnificent!

When Chen Nianguan and his group were laughing and discussing, there was a long ringing bell in the palace, and then the beating of drums and gongs sounded, and the people in front of the palace gate saw that the officials from the Ministry of Rites opened the way.The petty officials beat the gong, surrounded by guards holding colorful flags on both sides, Zhang Yulang, Su Ruitian, and Jiang Yu, all wearing crowns and xiamen, came out slowly on tall horses.

Chen Nianguan could only hear cheers coming from the palace gate, he poked his head out but couldn't see anyone, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It was Liu Qing who advised her: "Don't worry, cousin, the parade will definitely pass by our place, let's wait a little bit, they will be here soon."

"Really? What if they divert?" Chen Nianguan asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, this has always been the only way for Zhuangyuanlang to parade every spring. Master Chen doesn't have to be so impatient." Master Cang said after booking a seat with Chen Nianguan to watch Zhuangyuanlang parade.

I really didn't expect that my good grandson met a champion man just by meeting a random candidate. What luck!

Soon, seeing the wives and wives of Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang, they all commented in surprise: "That is Mr. Zhang who is rumored to look exactly like Prince Wen?"

"That's right, she really looks as handsome as Prince Wen."

"Not only handsome, but also champion!"

"If Prince Wen is still around, with his talent and learning, I'm afraid he will win the champion crown, what a pity!"

"Obviously talking about Zhuangyuan Lang, what are you talking about, Prince Wen!"

"That's right, this shows that Mr. Zhang is just like Prince Wen, with both talent and looks!"

"Unfortunately, I heard that I already have a wife!"

Everyone sighed, and after a while they shouted again:

"Look, the second place is actually the third master of the Su family!"

"Third Master Su is already engaged, what's there to see? How about seeing Tan Hualang, the eldest son of the Jiang family!"

...

Princess Yun Xin and Wen Ning, who grabbed the front seats, also saw Zhang Erlang riding on a fine horse.

Wen Ning murmured: "It really looks like the third brother."

No wonder grandma got it wrong that day.

And mother...

Wen Ning recalled that before and after the palace examination, her mother seemed to send her hands to find Zhang Yulang, but for some reason, on the day of the palace examination, her father and mother returned home together, full of anger, and it seemed that it was also because of Zhang Yulang.

She secretly asked people to go to her mother's yard to inquire about it, only to find out that Zhang Yulang had been raised in her own house as the third brother's substitute.

Now that the third elder brother is dead, Zhang Yulang went all the way to the imperial examination. When the matter was revealed, Longyan was furious, and it was because of his father that he was very dissatisfied with his mother's self-assessment.

Wen Ning was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. When Princess Yun Xin came and asked her to watch the new champion parade, she immediately agreed.

Princess Yun Xin also came for Zhang Yulang.

Staring at the face that was exactly the same as Wen Xuan, he was stunned for a long time, then sighed quietly, turned around and saw Wen Ning was dumbfounded, and pushed her: "It really looks like your third brother."

Of course.

How could it be possible that the person who was hired by the mother to be the third brother's substitute didn't look like that?

Soon, the parade team came to the restaurant booked by Chen Nianguan and others. Chen Nianguan saw the husband on the horse at a glance.

He has reached the age of the weak crown, a gentleman, with a graceful manner, and a little more calmness between his brows. The vermilion brocade robe and the black feather flower hat make his face like a crown jade, handsome and noble, and for a moment he surpasses the second place behind him.Compared with Tanhua.

Rao knew that Zhuangyuan Lang already had a wife, and the wives and wives on both sides of the parade also threw their handkerchiefs and flowers at him one after another.

"Is that Young Master Zhang?"

"There are really such similar people in the world!"

"If Prince Wen is still around, he must be like Shizi High School, full of grace and charm, that's how it should be!"

...

Chen Nianguan was delighted to see the people who were amazed by his husband.

It's a pity that such an outstanding gentleman belonged to her as early as last year.

"It's my cousin-in-law!"

"My cousin is here!"

Liu Yun huddled with Liu Feng and Liu He, watching the marchers slowly approaching, and reported to Chen Nianguan.

"Husband!" Chen Nianguan poked his head out of the upstairs proudly, waving his handkerchief and shouted, "Yulang!"

Zhang Yulang had already been told that Wan Wan had booked a private seat in this Yufeng Building early and was also looking for them. Hearing this voice, he raised his head and saw Chen Nianguan waving and shouting at her, so he reined in his horse and stopped.

"Husband!" Chen Nianguan smiled triumphantly.

Seeing his wife's proud expression, Zhang Yulang couldn't help laughing.

The girls in the same direction as Chen Nianguan saw Zhuangyuan Lang smiling like a bright moon in his arms, and they had long forgotten that he was someone else's husband, and threw more handkerchiefs and flowers towards him.

Chen Nianguan rolled up the handkerchief in his hand, tied it in a knot, and threw it towards Zhang Yulang.

Zhang Yulang stretched out his arms and firmly caught the handkerchief thrown by Chen Nianguan.

"The number one scholar!"

"Master Zhang, look here, look here."

Zhang Yulang put the handkerchief into his sleeves, Fan Shilang saw that he had stayed there for a long time, so he stepped forward to urge him, Zhang Yulang had already taken the rein to urge the horse, and then walked slowly, turning his head to look at it from time to timelook this way.

Chen Nianguan waved enthusiastically at him all the time, and then saw Tan Hua Lang, so he stopped by to be polite: "Mr. Jiang, congratulations!"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, it's...Tanhualang, you're so amazing!" Liu Feng also yelled congratulations to Jiang Yu loudly because of his love for tunnel digging.

Jiang Yu glanced at them, and slowly followed after driving the horse, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Tsk, it's not even compared to Zhang Yulang.

However, why did Emperor Hong appoint him as the number one scholar?

Rely on face?Jiang Yu couldn't help but slander in his heart.

The story of Zhuangyuan Lang parading the streets also spread to Yongchang Marquis Residence.

Hearing that Zhang Yulang was hand-picked by Emperor Hong to be the No. 1 scholar, Marquis Yongchang felt relieved.

Since Emperor Hong was generous enough to make Zhang Yulang the number one scholar, it also meant that he planned to handle the matter of his wife replacing Li Zhuang lightly.

He went to the ancestral hall, opened the door, and saw Princess Fu Xia who was kneeling on the futon. After the anger in his heart subsided, he told about Zhang Yulang's high school, "Since the Holy Majesty has made a gesture, let's let it go, don't do anything irrational again."

"I'm just trying to protect the safety of my relatives and children, so why am I being irrational?" Princess Fu Xia looked at Yongchanghou, resentful, "If you weren't incompetent and couldn't protect Xun'er, why would I use such tricks to protect Xuan?Son?"

"But if that's the case, are you going to protect Xuan'er?"

"That's because Zhang Yulang is a coward! If he asks Xuan'er to communicate with Master Ming Hai, if he is willing to die for Xuan'er, nothing will happen to Xuan'er."

"I said, this matter ends here. Zhang Yulang is now the person whom the Holy Majesty likes. If you target him again, if you offend the Holy Majesty, what do you think will happen to you?"

"Why do you think he was able to get the number one prize all the way? Wasn't it because the princess was soft-hearted at the time and allowed him to study with Xuan'er as a teacher, otherwise, how can he be a mere fisherman's son?" Fu XiaThe princess resented: "If he has the slightest conscience, he should repay his kindness, apologize to the princess, and act like an ox!"

"Enough! Ma'am!" Marquis Yongchang's veins throbbed violently, but he had to bear it back, "Your Majesty, your emperor brother, you haven't said that you will forgive you for this matter. You are delusional that Zhang Yulang will apologize to you and act like a cow and a horse.Why don't you think about it first, how to make an apology to the Holy Majesty, so as to save you from the crime of deceiving the King."

Princess Fu Xia was startled, paused for a long time, and then gritted her teeth bitterly, "It's all because of Zhang Yulang..."

The Marquis of Yongchang couldn't bear it anymore, kicked over the chair in the ancestral hall, and slammed the door out angrily.

Wen Yun, who came to visit his mother at this time, was startled when he saw Yongchang Hou was so angry: "Father?"

"You came just in time. Tell me the servants and guards in the mansion to look after your mother. Don't let her leave the mansion without my order."

"My son obeys my father's orders."

Wen Yun watched his father leave, then looked at the ancestral hall, and smiled.

Zhang Yulang has confirmed his identity now, and the certainty is Zhang Yulang from Chuzhou Prefecture, not Wen Xuan.

In this way, no one will come to compete with himself.

Isn't the position of the son of the world in his pocket?

Princess Fu Xia has done so many things, but in the end she couldn't keep a son, so it was a waste of effort!
