Since Dong Zhongshu established the theory of the induction of heaven and man, everyone from the emperor to the common people believed that God could induce human affairs and predict disasters.掎
During the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, a sudden strong wind not only broke the flags, but also frightened the holy driver. As a result, Zhao Zhen is still unconscious. It is difficult not to think that it is a sin sent down by heaven.
For a moment, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai felt a sense of crisis about to come.
Sheng Changbai looked back at the square. Most of the officials had dispersed. Only King Yong and King Yan still insisted on kneeling outside the palace, looking filial and commendable.
But everyone knows that their hearts are already as lively as beating gongs and drums.
They have been appointed as princes and have the right to inherit. If something happens to Zhao Zhen, they will be the ones to benefit the most, but I don’t know which one of them it will be.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Zhao Zhen's illness affects the hearts of millions of people.掎
I don’t know how many people are waiting with their ears perked for the news coming out of Duancheng Hall.
The emperor is in danger, the throne may change hands, and the political situation is undergoing drastic changes. In this process, there are both good opportunities to ascend to the sky and disasters to the sky.
Anyway, the Sheng family will never get involved, neither Sheng Hong nor Sheng Changbai.
On the second day, under the acupuncture and medicine given by the imperial doctor, Zhao Zhen woke up slowly, which finally made Han Zhang and others waiting in the palace feel relieved.
However, although Zhao Zhen was awake, his body was still weak. He only summoned Han Zhang and a few other ministers and then saw no one else.
Not long after, a decree came from the Duancheng Palace. The ceremony was to be discontinued today and the emperor immediately returned to the palace. When the emperor's health improved, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven could be held at a later date.
Before setting off, King Yong asked him to accompany him to serve Zhao Zhen in his daily life, but Zhao Zhen did not refuse.掎
Queen Yan finally realized what she was doing and wanted to accompany her, but it was too late.
"Today, there will be chaos..."
On the way back to the city, Sheng Hong looked at the gloomy sky and suddenly sighed to his son.
Sheng Changbai nodded in agreement. Even if Zhao Zhen survived this test, the ministers would definitely no longer trust his physical condition after this incident.
This also means that the long-delayed crown prince matter will be put on the agenda again.
Moreover, this time, Zhao Zhen has no excuse to evade.
After Zhao Zhen, who can ascend to Dabao will be revealed soon.掎
At present, it seems that King Yong has the upper hand, while King Yan is slightly behind.
But until the last moment, no one knows what the outcome will be.
After returning home to Bianjing, Sheng Hong called his son Sheng Changfeng and told him: "These days, stay at home and prepare for the exam. Don't go out casually, let alone cause trouble."
Sheng Changfeng nodded in agreement. Now, under Wei Chen's earnest guidance, his temperament has changed drastically. He is focused on the upcoming spring and has no time to go out and have fun.
After giving instructions to his son, Sheng Hong thought for a moment and asked someone to go to the Wei Mansion to invite his future son-in-law Wei Chen.
Wei Chen also heard about what happened yesterday and already knew the current situation. He also knew the reason why Sheng Hong asked him to come. It was just to tell him not to get involved.
Wei Chen nodded in agreement in front of Sheng Hong, but he had other concerns in his heart.掎
He has been working hard in Yuzhou for two and a half years. Wouldn't it be a pity if he couldn't use it in the end?
Besides, as long as you plan properly, there may not be any danger.
After the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, there were undercurrents surging in Bianjing City, but they were mostly intrigues in the officialdom. As long as the dynasty had not changed, it would not affect the move to Beijing to take the exam for the time being.
The ninth day of the second lunar month, the ninth year of God’s blessing.
The triennial Spring Festival was held as scheduled.
Qi Heng and Sheng Changfeng each had family members to take the exams, but Gu Tingye was the only one who had not yet reconciled with his family.
Wei Chen looked at Gu Tingye and saw how pitiful he was, so he personally sent him outside the Gongyuan Courtyard, said a few words of blessing and encouragement to him, and told him to concentrate on the exam and not do anything based on his will.掎
When Gu Tingye heard this, he glanced at Wei Chen in surprise, then nodded silently.
He has been practicing in Yuzhou for more than two years, and has become accustomed to the monsters and monsters in the world. He is no longer the passionate and impulsive young scholar. He knows what is important and what is important.
When Wei Chen saw this, he felt a little more generous. He had read Gu Tingye's recent articles and found that the progress was indeed not small. As long as he performed normally and made no mistakes, he should be able to pass the Jinshi.
To be honest, Wei Chen did not expect that Gu Tingye would reach this point.
Wei Chen suddenly looked forward to Gu Tingye's future. What kind of disturbance a military general with a Jinshi background would stir up in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After saying goodbye to Gu Tingye, Wei Chen turned around and walked towards home. At this time, someone with sharp eyes shouted: "Six Yuan Lang!"
Suddenly, a large group of people turned to look at Wei Chen, their eyes flashing with green light, which was the look of the big bad wolf when he saw the little white rabbit. 掎
Hurrah!
After a while, hundreds of candidates heard the news and rushed towards Wei Chen.
The candidates crowded in front hurriedly stretched out their hands and touched Wei Chen's head, neck, chest, arms, belly... and other unspeakable parts.
"Six Yuanlang, please don't leave, let me touch you!"
"Have a touch of Liu Yuanlang's immortal spirit and bless Xiaosheng Nangong to win the title!"
"I come first, I come first!"
"Just a moment, please, I really only want to touch it, anywhere!" 掎
"Hey hey, hey hey hey!"
Looking at the candidates rushing towards him like crazy men, Wei Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Only then did he wake up. At this moment, he ran to Gongyuan in a big way, which was like a wolf entering a tiger's mouth!
Fortunately, Wei Chen reacted quickly enough, revealed his identity and official position in time, and called in a large number of sergeants to help maintain order. Otherwise, he might have been trampled to death by the enthusiastic candidates before he could marry Rulan Minglan.
It's here.
After finally escaping from the gate of Gongyuan, Wei Chen returned home and saw the pair of big red lanterns with the word "WE" hanging in front of the door, which made him feel like he was surviving a disaster.
There are three nine-day exams, and the candidates living in them live like years, but to outsiders, it is just an ordinary nine days, passing by in the blink of an eye.
Wei Chen no longer cares about Wei Chen after leaving Gongyuan. No matter whether he wins or not, he can't change anything now. It all depends on the performance of Gu Tingye, Sheng Changfeng and Qi Heng.掎
On February 18th, the Spring Festival ended, and the candidates walked out of Gongyuan one after another.
Wei Chen caught Gu Tingye, a wealthy businessman, and beat him to death, and also brought along Sheng Changfeng and Qi Heng, who had just finished their exams.
When Gu Tingye heard about Wei Chen's encounter at the gate of Gongyuan that day, he immediately burst out laughing. Seeing Wei Chen's ugly face, he changed his mind and said that he would give Wei Chen a big red envelope as compensation on Wei Chen's wedding day.
Wei Chen was now satisfied.
The wedding was approaching, and Wei Chen, who was enjoying his wedding leave, left all the renovation and relocation of the wedding house to his staff, and actually had a rare period of leisure.
Wei Chen spent the whole day hanging out with Gu Tingye, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng who had just finished the exam. Gu Tingye, a famous stubborn man in Bianjing, took them all over Bianjing to eat, drink and have fun. It was considered a success when Wei Chen arrived in Bianjing at the beginning of the year.
