When I got up early in the morning, I walked out of the house and saw the yard in vain. Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's no wonder that such a big frost is colder than yesterday." He exhaled and all turned white.
Meilan said by the side: "Yes, today is much colder than yesterday." She added a piece of clothing specially.
After hitting a set of punches, Yuxi looked up at the gray sky and said, "Look at the sun again today." Although the sun doesn't have much temperature in winter, it is still very comfortable to bask in the sun.
The grandmother just walked out of the house, rubbed and said, "Why are you punching in the yard? You are not in good health, what if the wind blows?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "There is no wind!"
After breakfast, Yuxi went to the front yard with Yun Qing. Not long after, Tan Tuo presented the results of the trial. Although I don't need to read the article now, Yun Qing is not interested in this matter, so this matter falls on Yuxi's head.
Yuxi looked at the list and place of origin, and said: "Nearly three-quarters of the scholars are from Jiangnan, Tan Tuo, this ratio is a bit out of balance." Jiangnan style of writing is popular, and it is also a place where talented scholars are born, so the number of people admitted this time Yuxi had long expected that Jiangnan scholars would make up the majority. It accounts for nearly three-quarters, which is not quite right.
Tan Tuo smiled bitterly and said: "The minister feels wrong, but the articles written by those in Jiangnan are much better than other places." The scientific examination was originally an article for reading.
Yun Qing said, "Is there any problem?"
Yuxi said, "Only this time, it will be fine, but the problem will be bigger in the long run." After a pause, Yuxi explained: "After 20 years, all the officials in the court are from Jiangnan. Can you imagine the scene? ?" That's a lot of harm.
Tan Tuo lowered his head. The princess wanted long-term things, so he didn't need to remind her.
Yun Qing understood what Yuxi meant. These officials came from one place and could easily form a group, and then they would be empty. Yun Qing said, "This is a problem."
Yuxi rubbed her forehead and said, "I have been thinking about this for a long time, but I just couldn't think of a good solution."
Yun Qing said without even thinking about it: "The people in Jiangnan are really good at reading and have natural advantages. People from other places will definitely not be able to pass the exam. If you don't want to be the dominant family in Jiangnan, you can separate them. ."
"Separate?" Yuxi murmured to himself, and then his eyes lit up: "Yes, you can separate."
Tan Tuo shook his head and said, "Wang Hao, how do you separate this?"
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "I will try to take a total of 300 people, one hundred and five in the south and one hundred and five in the north. In this way, I am not afraid that the southern scholars will dominate in the future." The north-south ranking is also given to the north. An opportunity for the students.
Tan Tuo thinks this idea is not good. It can be seen that Yuxi's appearance is not easy to say against him: "Wang Hao, do you want to divide the North and South this time?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Forget it this time, I will do it next time." This time the exam has been completed, and the list of the top three hundred has come out. If the list is divided, the scientific exam will have to be invalidated. Not to mention the manpower and material resources, there will be a lot of delays.
Tan Tuo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no distinction will be made this time. Otherwise, not only will they be affected, but those practices will not be much better: "Prince, Princess, where do you think the palace exam will be held?"
Yuxi said, "Still at the Gongyuan!" The Gongyuan was built last year and can accommodate thousands of people. The courtyard of the palace is not that big, which can accommodate 300 people for scientific research at a time, so it is most suitable to choose the Gongyuan.
Tan Tuo asked: "When is that set?"
Yuxi said: "In three days, the prince will go there in person." She will not go. Anyway, the article after the exam will be in her hands. She has to agree on whoever is the champion.
Although Yun Qing is not interested in this, it is his responsibility and cannot be avoided.
Tan Tuo hesitated, and still asked, "Then the title of the palace exam?" The questions of the hall exam and the hall exam were usually given by the emperor. Northwest Yunqing is the biggest, and the problem should be raised by him. But as far as Yun Qing's literary level is concerned, Tan Tuozhen is a little worried.
Yuxi smiled lightly and said, "In three days, I will give you the subject." Naturally, she had the subject.
After waiting for Tan Tuo to leave, Yun Qing said to Yuxi, "Adding this Enke, there are so many troubles."
Yuxi smiled and said, "We are now in short supply of talents, so we can only select talents through scientific examinations." Previously, they were recommended through recommendation, which has serious drawbacks. Many people will recommend it only by their relatives, and it is not safe to pass the scientific examination.
Yun Qing said this because he was afraid that Yuxi was tired: "Let Tan Tuo read the articles on the palace examination first. You just need to check it out." Good at dealing with things that are not good at error-prone.
Yuxi hugged his arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm well-measured and won't be tired."
Three days later, the hall test was held in the hall of the Gongyuan. Considering the cold weather, a lot of charcoal fires burned in the hall, which made the worried scholars breathe a sigh of relief.
Also on this day, Yuxi received a secret letter from Falcon. After reading the letter, Yuxi looked very ugly.
Mother Quan looked at the big problem and asked Yuxi: "What's the matter? His face is so ugly?"
After a while, Yuxi said, "Ahao got the smallpox. It was Yuchen's hand." Han Yuchen avoided what Yan Wushuang did, and naturally used her people. Falcon got Yuxi's letter and suspected that he had gone to her. The time passed was not long, and when he thought about it, he found clues quickly.
The grandmother said: "Why does Dong do things for her? What weakness did she catch Dongs?"
Yuxi said: “Dong did not run away alone, but took his son with him.” Dong’s son Falcon did not find him, but as long as he knows that Dong’s son is alive and staying at Han Yuchen’s dowry village. After a while, that will be enough.
Mother Quan immediately understood: "That is to say, Dong's son was not dead and was saved by Han Yuchen's people?" Seeing Yuxi nodded, Mother Quan said, "Why did she put someone in the palace?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "This, only she knows."
Mother Quan thought for a while and asked: "Then what are you going to do? Just assume that nothing happened?" Now that Hao brother is not, maybe Yuxi will take care of the old love and just let it go.
Yuxi shook his head and said: "Impossible." After a pause, Yuxi said: "I will tell the prince about this matter before deciding how to deal with it." Because she was only skeptical before, it was difficult for her to talk to Yun Qing. Now that it has been confirmed, it can no longer be hidden from Yun Qing.
During dinner, Yuxi behaved as usual, without any abnormalities. Not to mention Yun Qing, even Brother Hao didn't realize that Yuxi was in a bad mood.
After dinner, Yuxi said to Zaozao and other people: "You go back first, mother has something to tell your father." After dinner, the family will talk and talk, and then they will go back to their own courtyard.
Looking at Yuxi's calm expression, the children knew it was a business matter. As long as Yun Qing didn't make Yuxi angry, the children wouldn't ask too much.
Yun Qing stayed in the Gongyuan for most of the day today, and the whole person was irritated. If he hadn't remembered his identity, he would have left his hand long ago.
After the children left, Yun Qing asked, "What can't you say in front of the children?"
Yuxi opened her mouth, and finally said, "Go back to the house and talk!"
Yun Qing followed Yuxi into the room suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter? Make you so embarrassed?"
Yuxi said bitterly, "Isn't it embarrassing, but I don't know how to speak?" After a pause, Yuxi said, "The real culprit who caused Brother Hao's smallpox has been found."
Hearing this, Yun Qing sank his face and asked, "Who is it?" Hearing Yuxi's tone, he knew that it was not Yan Wushuang.
Yuxi sighed and said, "It is my third sister Yuchen. She thinks Zhou Yan was killed by me. She wants to kill Brother Hao to avenge Zhou Yan, so that I can taste the pain of losing a son..."
Hearing these words from Yuxi, Yun Qing was furious: "It was Yan Wushuang who really killed Zhou Yan. She wanted to avenge Zhou Yan, why didn't she kill Yan Wushuang?"
Yuxi looked up at Yun Qing and said, "Yan Wushuang is not only her husband, but also the father of her sons and daughters, as well as their support. If Yan Wushuang dies, the three of them will become slaughtered fish. ."
Yun Qing slapped the table with a slap. Fortunately, the century-old huanghuali wood is very hard, otherwise it will really break: "I dare not do anything to Yan Wushuang, but use my Ahao to vent my anger. She treats us as dead. ?"
Yuxi didn't speak.
Upon seeing this, Yun Qing asked Yuxi in a cold voice, "Yuxi, what are you going to do with this?"
Yuxi said: "You are the master of this matter!" If Han Yuchen was to kill her, even if Han Yuchen succeeded, she would not resent her. Although Zhou Yan's death was not ordered by her, she died in the hands of her people after all. But she shouldn't be absolutely wrong, shouldn't start with Ah Hao.
Yun Qing has always acted upright and upright, and most hate such things as assassination and poisoning, but this time Han Yuchen touched his negative scale. Yun Qing said, "I want Yan Hengli and Yan Hengyu to die."
Yuxi did not refute, but said: "It will take a while to start. Recently, there are too many moves. If I attack Yan Hengli and Yan Hengyu again, I am worried that Cao Gonghui will be exposed." Cao Gonggong hides deeply. Cheetah is the only one who knows his true background. But no matter how deep you hide it, you will inevitably show your feet if you do too much.
Although Yun Qing is angry, he knows the severity: "Let's talk about it after a while. However, she can't let her live so comfortably." Yun Qing was a little guilty about ordering Yan Wushuang's two sons to be removed. no. You know, Yuxi and Liuer almost died in the hands of Yan Wushuang back then. He was nothing more than a tooth for a tooth for an eye for an eye.
Yuxi heard that Yun Qing was about to get rid of Yuchen's confidant, and said, "Are you fragrant and frightening the snake?"
Yun Qing said, "Didn't she want you to taste the pain of losing a child? Before we do it, let her live in fear."
Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing Yuxi's sad expression, Yun Qing knew that she felt uncomfortable: "It's just that you are soft-hearted, so that the selfish and selfish people who only have themselves in their hearts are not worthy of being sad at all."
Speaking of this, Yun Qing said with disdain: "Even if she still has the face to avenge Zhou Yan? He trapped Zhou Yan in an unbearable place, so why didn't he commit suicide in order to atone for his sins?" It is impossible to remarry if he has a strong temper. An enemy who kills her husband will never give birth to children for the enemy.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this." The past is just like the past.
It is not easy to kill the prince, but it is not difficult for Falcon to kill Han Yuchen's minions. On the second day after receiving Yun Qingxin, the head of the Zhuangzi where Dong's son lived, Jiang Yong, died. After being cut his throat, he hung naked on the tallest tree in Zhuangzi. The body was found frozen.
This was just the beginning, and three more people died in the next two days. These people were either the head of Han Yuchen's marriage to Zhuangzi or the shopkeeper at the shop.
Although Falcon was ordered to act, he did not kill the innocent indiscriminately. The four people who died either committed evil deeds or took their lives. If they were in the northwest, they committed enough crimes to be sentenced to death.
After receiving the news, Mother Gui felt a little uneasy. It would be a coincidence if only one died, but it would not be right to die four consecutively.
Yuchen didn't associate this incident with Yuxi and Yun Qing, so she knew that she was very angry, and she pressured the capital government Yin to solve the case as soon as possible.
In this way, Yan Wushuang was naturally disturbed. Yan Wushuang, who had always been suspicious, felt wrong when he heard this, and asked Meng Nian to send someone to investigate. As a result, the murderer turned out to be a Falcon.
Meng Nian reported the matter and said: "Falcon deliberately left clues to let us know that he did it, and don't know what he wants to do?"
Yan Wushuang thought about it, his expression a little ugly: "Yun Qing and Han Yuxi already know that the murderer of Yun Qihao is the noble concubine." Unexpectedly, the two knew the truth so soon.
Meng Nian felt that this speculation was unreasonable: "If they know that the murderer of Yun Qihao is the imperial concubine, they should seek revenge from the imperial concubine, why should they attack a few insignificant people?"
Yan Wushuang looked at Meng Nian and said, "What do you think is the best way to avenge someone?" Before Meng Nian said, Yan Wushuang said on his own: "That is to make her live better than to die. Those dealers are just Appetizers, their ultimate goal is Bao and Chi."
Meng Nian's face changed and said, "Aren't the three princes and the eldest princess very dangerous?" Being blacklisted by Falcon is very dangerous.
Yan Wushuang said: "It's very dangerous. But after falling off the horse before, I believe A Chi will be careful in the future." He survived such a difficult environment, and now A Chi is in a better situation than him. I don't know. How many times, he believed that as long as A Chi himself had a sense of prevention, Han Yuxi wouldn't be able to harm him if he wanted to.
Meng Nian was not at ease, and A Chi was also his optimistic heir, but he couldn't go on a business trip: "The emperor, we still have to send some more manpower to the third prince."
Yan Wushuang did not object, and said, "You can arrange this matter." Among the many children, his favorites are A Bao and A Chi.
After a pause, Yan Wushuang said, "Squeeze the news down, and I will tell the concubine about this after the New Year." If Han Yuchen knows the truth, I'm afraid it will be a bad year. He doesn't care about Han Yuchen, but he cares about how Achi and Abao feel.
