Chapter 104: The Emperor's Private Visit

You want to say that Long Chuxia is heartless, but in fact she also understands the ways of the world. But if you say that she is sensible, she turns out to be an ignorant person.

Feng Lingxiao was so angry that she went crazy. After sending Prince Zhongyong out of the city, he came back to look for her non-stop. She had promised to wait for him in the teahouse, but when he returned to the teahouse, he left and the tea was gone. Zhuge Tengfei intuitively thought that she Fly away with Zhuge Teng

As for Zhuge Tengfei, he did regard him as a good friend back then. When he went south to Jingzhou with the queen, he met Zhuge Tengfei in Jingzhou and hit it off. The two chatted about everything, national policies and people's livelihood. Zhuge Tengfei was undoubtedly He was a very insightful person. He gave the young man a lot of advice, which was very useful in the situation at that time.

However, during the short half-month stay in Jingzhou, Zhuge Tengfei actually fell in love with the queen. At that time, he only felt humiliated. It turned out that the so-called friend had always been thinking about his wife. However, in just fifteen days of getting along, he He really regarded him as a good friend. Although he was attracted to the queen, he had never done anything excessive. Therefore, even if he was unhappy, he did not talk about it. It was just that he felt resentful toward him.

Now, has he fallen in love with Long Chuxia again? Feng Lingxiao didn't want to doubt him like this, but if it were anyone else, he might not be so sensitive. Only Zhuge Tengfei, he cared about very much.

Over the years, he has not asked the Queen, but he also knows that the Queen has been attracted to Zhuge Tengfei. It is also because of this that he has been neglecting the Queen all these years. It is not because he is resentful, but because he is a woman who does not care about him. He will not Reluctantly, it is undeniable that she is very good as a queen, and with her to maintain the harem, he can feel at ease and worry-free. The so-called husband and wife sometimes just use each other.

He didn't care about the Queen's transference, because he had never loved the Queen in his heart, so he could calmly put the matter behind him for many years. It was just a lesson learned from the past that made him harbor hostility towards Zhuge Tengfei. Men are all sensitive. , if he had not been in love with Long Chuxia, how could he be so abnormal after knowing what happened between him and Long Chuxia? He has always been famous for controlling his emotions.

He remembered that it was Long Chuxia who seduced him in Huayechi. Long Chuxia had no love for her. So, when she went south to Jingzhou, would she also see Zhuge Tengfei's handsome appearance and seduce him? Just think of it At that scene, his blood suddenly froze.

Because he knows that it is not impossible that if you love a woman, you will know her temperament. She is not a slutty woman, but she is definitely an adventurous woman.

Originally, I planned to play with Long Chuxia today, so I sent away my attendants early. Now I am leading my horse alone and walking on the cold street.

Although it is cold, the capital is extremely lively today. Because the imperial examination is about to take place, many scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam have settled in the capital. There will inevitably be a group of literati in the pubs and tea shops who are reciting poems. The brothels are also open early and are decorated with lights early. Got it

Feng Lingxiao hasn't paid a private visit incognito for many years. It's rare to leave political affairs behind today, so why not take a closer look at the public sentiment?

Feng Lingxiao came to a tavern, tied up the horse, and walked in early.

This tavern is of a medium level, the consumption is neither high nor low, and ordinary scholars can come in. It is just past noon, a suitable time to drink some wine after dinner and talk about life.

"Sir, this is your first time here? It's very unfamiliar! Are you a scholar rushing to take the exam?" The waiter's mouth was very smooth, and he kept teasing Feng Ling. There are still about ten days before the exam. If every scholar present If the waiter can continue to visit for ten days, that is a huge income, so the waiter has put in a lot of effort to attract business for the boss.

"Well, yes," Feng Lingxiao said calmly, and scanned the people present. They were basically all scholars, wearing square scarves and Tsing Yi. In fact, there are no regulations on what kind of clothes scholars who come to Beijing to take the exam should wear. Master Chen, the scholar-bureaucrat whom Emperor Chen wanted to hold the imperial examination, wore Tsing Yi all day long. In order to express his gratitude to Master Chen, businessmen in the capital seized this business opportunity and sold a large number of Tsing Yi with the words "Thank you for your teacher's kindness" on the label. The children all bought them one after another to show their gratitude.

Feng Lingxiao also learned about this situation from the memorial. In the early years, Mr. Chen wrote a letter to re-open the imperial examination, but he had been hesitating. Later, Mr. Chen became critically ill, and before his death, he wrote a letter of ten thousand words stating the importance of re-opening the imperial examination. Feng Lingxiao Before I laughed, it wasn't that he didn't want to hold the imperial examination. It was just that the old diehards in the court kept opposing it. He stated all the shortcomings and couldn't get the support of the old officials in the court, so he had to give up temporarily. Later, Mr. Chen wrote thousands of words, which moved many people in the court. officials, so these officials united to fight against those old stubborns, and finally achieved an overwhelming victory.

"Where is this brother from?" Not long after Feng Lingxiao sat down, a scholar came to talk to him.

"I'm from the capital, I wonder where your brother is from?" Feng Lingxiao smiled and looked up at the dignified scholar in front of him.

The scholar hurriedly saluted: "It turns out that I am from the capital. Since my younger brother is from Xuanzhou, I am from the capital. May I ask if you have a way out?"

"The way?" Feng Lingxiao was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "What way?"

The scholar sat in front of him, approached him mysteriously and said: "Of course it's the way to test the questions. I heard that there are test questions for three thousand taels."

Feng Lingxiao's expression changed. The test questions had just been decided. Only three people knew about it. One was the Master Hou of the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the exam, the other was the Prime Minister, and of course his own Prime Minister and Master Hou, the Minister of Rites, whom he absolutely trusted.

So who actually obtained the test questions and sold them to the scholars for a high price of three thousand yuan?

He pretended to have little knowledge and said: "I have heard about it, but it's only three thousand taels. I really can't get it. Besides, I don't know whether the test questions are true or false!"

"Of course it's true. It came from the Imperial College. Lord Hou, the Minister of Rites, is the examiner. The Imperial College is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites. They don't have test questions. Who has the test questions?" The scholar said in a low voice.

Feng Lingxiao shook her head, "I still don't quite believe it!"

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I have 1,200 taels of silver here, and I still owe 1,800 taels. Why don't you pay me 1,800 taels, and the remaining 300 taels will be considered as what I owe you in the future." Return it to us and buy the test questions together. After ten years of hard work, success or failure depends on this."

Feng Lingxiao's face became serious, and he said: "Many people can afford three thousand taels of test questions, but there are only three people in the top three. We have test questions, and so do others. In the end, what hope do we have?"

"Three Thousand Miles of Exam Paper, very few people can afford it. You see, most of the people who come to Beijing to take the exam can't even afford to stay in an inn. There are many people living in dilapidated temples outside the city. But this group of people who can afford the examination paper, Most of them are children from rich families who have no intention of studying, so we hire someone to serve as a gun in advance. We will pay attention to this group of people. When the time comes, we will write them down and report them in front of the emperor. Then they will be ruined and we will be able to smoothly advance to the throne." That's what the scholar said. His words were very smooth, and he should have told many people, but until Feng Lingxiao, he could not find anyone to buy the test questions together, which proved that there were not many students who thought the same as him.

But Feng Lingxiao also wanted to see if the test questions he said were true or false, so he said: "What brother said is true. I will go back to collect the money first and meet here tomorrow!"

The scholar was overjoyed and saluted quickly, "That's great. My name is Ye Ziqing. What do you call me brother?"

"My Majesty Xiao Lingfei!" Since the current emperor's surname is Feng, anyone whose name has the character Feng must use the character Dai instead.
