Chapter 49 Entering Beijing, the main quest is triggered!
Although it is not a modern society, there are no Internet statistics.
But the test paper is definitely not wrong.
A ridiculously white exam paper crushed the poor students all over the city...
There is only one possibility:
Someone helped me through the back door through a connection!
Gu Lan recalled the scene when Dou Fu got the plate number for him, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong... He hadn't looked at the iron plate at the time, so how did he know it was No. 295?
Now that I think about it, it was all reserved in advance!
"Damn it... I thought you were just taking care of me to participate in the examination, but who asked you to give me Jieyuan directly!"
Gu Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, and there was a black line on his head.
There is no doubt that this mysterious unrest must be caused by that mysterious court official in the capital.
He does take care of himself.
If this is placed on Fan Jin, a memorial tablet of immortality must be set up for that person and offered to him every day!
But Gu Lan didn't want to.
This wave of Jieyuan's reputation has increased. If you don't go to the capital to participate in the tribute examination...well, it won't be long before the empress will send a special envoy to express her condolences!
The dignified Jie Yuan did not want to be an official in Dajing.
Want to play Jiuzu Xiaoxiao?
By then it will definitely become “world famous”!
"Hey! Do you really want to agree to what Yunlong said?"
Gu Lan thought about the old Taoist priest's calculation that day, and felt uncertain.
But at the same time.
Gu Lan became even more curious about the identity of the mysterious high official in the capital!
What kind of power and position can influence the title of Jieyuan of a state?
You must know that in this ancient era when the imperial examination was supreme, cheating did not mean disqualification from the examination, but confiscation and distribution!
Those with this kind of energy must be at least third grade or above... Well, maybe they must be from the Imperial Academy or the Hanlin Academy.
Damn it!
If I really have to go to the capital, I will definitely find you, a guy who does bad things with good intentions, and whip him... Gu Lan swore in his heart.
At this time.
Mu Yuyan walked in with a bowl of lotus seed porridge, smiling brightly, and came to sit down next to Gu Lan. She took a spoon in her white hands and gently pounded the porridge, then handed it to his mouth.
"Congratulations to your husband, you passed high school and will be an official from now on."
"Um..."
Gu Lan nodded without tears and drank the porridge she fed.
The porridge is very sweet, and so is the lady, but this inexplicable hit is a bit confusing...
"Aren't you happy?"
Mu Yuyan raised her eyebrows, her eyes as clear as water, and asked while holding back her smile.
"Ha... An Neng is able to bend his eyebrows and bend his waist to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy."
Gu Lan held her cold and soft hand and said seriously: "I don't want to be an official, I just want to stay with my wife for the rest of my life..."
Fool, only if you become an official can you truly stay with me for the rest of your life!
Mu Yuyan's eyebrows were gentle and she thought to herself.
If we really only live with Gu Lang in Langzhou City, the years will be peaceful, but sooner or later we will be separated one day.
The emperor's entry into the world of mortals is not the end, but just the beginning.
so.
If you want to extend the wonderful beginning to the end, you can only break the situation by helping Gu Lan sit in a high enough position.
The empress knows this all too well.
"My lord, if God does not take what he has given you, you will be blamed for it."
Mu Yuyan stared into Gu Lan's eyes and patiently advised: "Besides, my husband said some time ago that we will move to another place."
"Now that Jie Yuanwen has arrived, isn't it a good time to move to the capital?"
"Moving to the capital?"
Gu Lan was stunned!
He had never thought of such a bold idea.
Judging from the content of the original work that I have recalled in the past few days, in the fifth year of Jiaqing, that is, the whole of next year, the capital will no longer be quiet.
Especially at the end of the year, there will be big bloodshed accidents in the capital!
Many courtiers and nobles were involved...
Although the protagonist's shit stick will not go to the capital until the sixth year of Jiaqing.
But that empress is ruthless!
For the unfaithful and unjust courtiers, the butcher's knife was so refreshing that the whole city was filled with blood and blood!
The most terrifying thing is that because of the frame-up of some people with ulterior motives, many people were killed by mistake...
These changes made everyone in the DPRK feel in danger, and Dajing was in turmoil!
It also laid the groundwork for the future of the remaining loyal ministers of Jingguo being bribed by grassroots protagonists.
...
Take back your thoughts!
Although he felt helpless, Gu Lan found that what the lady said... made sense!
If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences.
Continuing to stay in Langzhou will only attract more and more attention to his family, especially these days, there are so many immortal cultivators everywhere who come to understand their sword and spear intentions!
"Unexpectedly, the old man really got it right..."
Gu Lan laughed and shook his head. He took out the stack of land deeds in the capital and handed them to Mu Yuyan: "That's it... Madam, please make a choice. Try to choose some mansions in the periphery."
In terms of cultivation and strength, he himself is not afraid of getting involved in the court.
But staying away from the center of the whirlpool gives a layer of invisible protection to the family behind you.
Anyway, the tribute examination will be held in the spring of next year. By the time he fails, the news about him in Langzhou will be almost gone, and he will be able to move back.
Going to the capital this time can be regarded as a way to avoid the limelight...
Gu Lan thought to himself.
However.
He had just made up his mind when the long-lost system prompt sounded in his mind!
[You have obtained the title and started the scholar’s task—the imperial examination]
[From now on, you will receive fame and salary every time]
[Or achievements as a scholar]
[You will all receive special literary bonuses and rewards]
【...】
Um?
I have been working as a salty fish in Langzhou for so long, but I didn’t expect that the exam would be the main task that I would trigger!
It took a year for the binding to be triggered. The system father is probably going to be frustrated...
Gu Lan thought in surprise.
When Mu Yuyan saw his promise, she curved her crescent-like eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, sir, please rest for a while. I'll call you when I've chosen my concubine."
...
At this time, Beijing!
A magnificent mansion, in a four-cornered pavilion beside a bamboo forest and stream.
Three people were discussing in low voices the recent major events in Jingguo.
The maids were very far away, with their heads lowered, not daring to look or listen, with very respectful expressions.
Although they are maids, their clothes are better than those of ordinary ladies, which shows the high status of the master of this house.
Three people in the pavilion.
Two old men sat in the guest seat, and a middle-aged man sat in the main seat.
One of the old men has a kind face and kind eyes; the other is wearing a linen robe and has a compelling sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.
The middle-aged man has a rough face and his sword is placed behind his back. He seems to be a soldier.
"Taifu Su, such a big event happened in Langzhou. I heard that there are traces of the royal family of Dayu... Your Majesty has been in the palace for a long time. Didn't you express this?"
The middle-aged man asked the kind-faced Taifu. He deliberately emphasized the words "long in the palace" and frowned deeply.
"Haha, your Majesty won't tell you, and your ministers won't ask."
The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled.
"We ministers can't ask questions, so why don't you ask? You are her mentor and you are qualified to ask!" the middle-aged man said angrily.
The old lady glanced at him this time and simply smiled without saying anything.
See the situation.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes were a little angry, and he slowly said:
"Back then, we followed the late emperor and managed to stabilize Jingguo, and that's how she became today."
"It's good for her, she enjoys herself in the palace all day long and doesn't care about worldly affairs!"
"I shouldn't have..."
The middle-aged man stared and said to himself.
The old man in linen robe opened his eyes at this moment and interrupted at the right moment:
"General Wu, be careful what you say!"
"There is a difference between monarch and minister. We only need to do our own thing well and don't let the young people take the opportunity to mess up the imperial court. Then we will not waste the trust of your majesty and the late emperor, right?"
When he mentioned the younger generation, the old man in linen robe also deliberately bit hard.
The middle-aged man known as General Wu was startled, and immediately looked at him and said angrily: "Prime Minister, your Majesty is like this... As the head of the officials, if you don't give advice, are you willing to keep running the court for her?
, are you willing to accompany her to indulge in such nonsense?"
He was tired of this kind of job of cleaning up messes!
In his opinion, Xiangguo must have done enough!
However.
After a while.
The old man in linen robe, that is, Sima Qin, picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly, then smiled calmly at him:
"I do."
Chapter completed!
