Chapter 69 Do you really think he dare not kill the king?
"Is it possible that the scientific examination is specifically held in winter because we don't want students from remote areas to pass the examination?"
Lin Zhi smiled. He knew that Shen Shu was very smart, so he lowered his head and kissed her face to encourage him, "Well, in order to ascend the throne, the emperor contacted many nobles in the court to rebel. Those nobles agreed to rebel, but The demand is to cancel the imperial examination."
Shen Shu suddenly realized, "The imperial examination system prevented those nobles from stuffing their own family members into the court."
Lin Zhi said "hmm" and said, "The emperor did not agree. He knew that this was a major event that fundamentally affected the people's livelihood, but the dignitaries in the capital refused to give in. In the end, the two parties agreed to set the scientific examination in winter, which was neither abolition nor abolition. It can prevent many students from going to Beijing to take exams."
"After the emperor ascended the throne, he also wanted to move the scientific examination to summer, but the nobles did not agree, right?" Shen Shu deduced from Lin Zhi's words and asked rhetorically.
Lin Zhi nodded.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and suddenly realized: From the fact that the emperor has not been able to solve the imperial examination for so many years, we can see that the emperor is actually a ruthless person but not very powerful. This may be why those nobles would help him back then. The reason is that they need an easy-to-handle emperor.
But now the court was divided into the princeling party and the Ningwang party. The two parties were fighting. The emperor was powerless and could only drag Lin Zhi out to resist the overt and covert fighting between the prince and Ningwang.
Lin Zhi was already in poor health, so he was forced to work day and night, and had to block the emperor's gun.
The more Shen Shu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she squeezed Lin Zhi's hand in front of her and tried to convey some warmth and strength to him.
Lin Zhi didn't think anything was wrong. He lowered his head and touched Shen Shu's face with his own, and continued to review the papers.
Today, he quickly finished the review, and then Shen Shu continued to read the medical books. When she saw Lin Zhi, she also wanted to read them, so she nestled in Lin Zhi's arms and read with him.
Lin Zhi was reading seriously today. After he finished flipping through a book, he lowered his head and found that the person in his arms who was supposed to be reading seriously had already fallen asleep in his arms.
He suddenly felt a little funny and rubbed Shen Shu's face again.
…
The next day during the scientific examination, Shen Shu was at home hoping that one of Jing Ninghou's investors would win. As long as he won, Jing Ninghou would not be alone.
Lin Zhi, however, had been sick all day long. The capital was getting colder and colder, and his body was becoming increasingly unbearable.
But fortunately, he only needs to experience this kind of cold winter for two or three more times, and he will never have to experience it again.
The wind was howling outside today. Lin Zhi was getting more and more depressed as he listened to the wind outside. He simply took Shen Shu, who was reading a book, into his arms and whispered, "Tell a story."
Shen Shu put down the book and was about to speak to Lin Zhi when Lin Zhi buried his face in front of her again, "Cold."
The colder the weather, the more serious his illness became. It was very cold and uncomfortable.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and then took off her clothes to warm him. She had already done it two or three times and was already familiar with it this time. She nestled in Lin Zhi's arms and casually told Lin Zhi the story of Snow White.
Lin Zhi listened to Shen Shu's story and couldn't help but think, Snow White? How white is she? Does she have his kitten Bai?
But as she was talking, the quilt on her body slipped down a little, and Lin Zhi saw Shen Shu's shoulder at a glance.
Perhaps it was because she had been pampered since she was a child, or perhaps because the medicinal baths he had painstakingly prepared these days had an effect, and her shoulders were white and tender.
Lin Zhi came to a conclusion after careful study for a while.
Well, so Snow White must not be as white as his kitten.
Shen Shu became more and more sleepy in Lin Zhi's arms and fell asleep while telling stories. Lin Zhi then secretly kissed her round shoulder.
The days passed like this, and Lin Zhi's health went up and down. Except for going out occasionally, Shen Shu spent most of the time with him in the house.
She gradually forgot about the time while staying in the mansion, and when she realized it, she found that it was almost the Chinese New Year.
Everyone in the house was happy except Lin Zhi. As the eldest brother, Changfeng bought many new clothes for Changsheng and Changlan.
Changlan also stopped beating Changsheng for several days in order to thank Changfeng for his clothes.
Shen Shu was very envious when she saw Chang Sheng and Chang Lan wearing new clothes, so she also secretly took the purple clothes she bought before and wore them.
It was New Year's Eve soon, and the weather was good today, so Lin Zhi was in good condition, so Shen Shu went to ask him to accompany her to post couplets.
Lin Zhi frowned and didn't understand why Chang Feng couldn't post the couplets.
Then Shen Shu kissed his face.
Lin Zhi also felt that it was better to post his own couplets himself.
Lin Zhi stood up and got Shen Shu a coat and scarf to put on, then took her hand and went to post couplets outside the door.
Shen Shu was very happy. She asked Lin Zhi to carry the bench for her, while she stood on the bench and covered all the places in the palace that could be covered.
So today, you can see the dignified King of Bei'an walking behind Shen Shu everywhere in the palace.
After pasting the last couplet, Shen Shu turned to look at Lin Zhi happily, "Am I good enough?"
"Awesome." The compliment that Lin Zhi could not say in the past was now spoken very naturally. After speaking, he opened his arms and looked at Shen Shu, and Shen Shu also opened her arms and threw herself into his arms.
He carried her to the ground. Today, Shen Shu specially found a red dress for Lin Zhi, and she wore purple. At this time, a gust of wind blew by, tangled her purple dress with his red dress, and separated them. Beautiful outside.
After posting the couplets, she started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Shen Shu was happy today and excitedly followed the servants in the house to make dumplings. She also secretly washed a few copper wallets and put them into the dumplings.
Seeing how happy Shen Shu was doing the bags, Lin Zhi also started to learn. Shen Shu then enthusiastically went behind him to teach him how to bag. After Lin Zhi only made two bags, he was already able to wrap them in style.
After wrapping the dumplings and Shen Shu went to cook them, Lin Zhi went out and saw Changfeng coming and reported to Lin Zhi, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has sent a message to invite you to the palace to celebrate the New Year."
Thinking of the vain princes and showy women in the palace, a trace of disgust appeared on Lin Zhi's face, "I won't go."
Why does this dog emperor always like to make him uncomfortable when he is happy?
