Chapter 534: Ultimate conspiracy

He and I were all silent when we saw the bright red coming in the white snow. All that was left was the sound of falling snow and the steps of Pei Yuanzhen, and each step seemed to step on my heart.
She walked in front of us and smiled at Liu Qinghan, "You're finished talking with Brother Huang?"
"Wei Chen met the long princess."
"Light cold, you haven't forgotten what the emperor just said."
"……Yes."
In fact, I was standing beside him, and even the wind blew my clothes and brushed his horns, but at this moment, looking at the warm smile on Pei Yuanzhen's face, he was pale as if snow The carved faces had a feeling of being far away from them, and they couldn't even grasp their hands straight. And Pei Yuanzhen completely ignored my existence, and only smiled at him wholeheartedly: "But the snow is so big that it is no longer possible to go to the racecourse."
When Qing Han heard it, he immediately said, "That Weichen--"
"I'll take you to another place."
"what?"
"The emperor said it anyway, and let you stay with me. Isn't it?"
"..."
"Light cold!"
"Yes."
Pei Yuanzhen smiled softly at him, and his cheeks were still slightly pink. Then he turned to look at me and smiled, "Master Yue, your face doesn't look very good."
I barely smiled: "Princess Xie Chang cares."
"Hurry back to Jingren Palace, and after a long time, I will come back to you and look for you everywhere."
After speaking, she held the umbrella in her hand to Qing Han's head, and said with a smile: "Let's go."
Liu Qinghan looked at her frozen white hand, hesitated, and finally said softly, "I'll come."
After speaking, Pei Yuanzhen smiled even more sweetly, and turned around to walk beside him. And I stood in place, Ren Hanfeng rolled the snow foam to make me cold, without shaking, just watching their back.
As if feeling my eyes, the man holding the umbrella hesitated a bit, as if he wanted to turn his head, but faster, Pei Yuanzhen smiled and pulled his sleeve back: "Light cold, go away."
"..."
"Hurry up, it's cold!"
He said nothing and left in silence.
.
Until the sky was dark and the snow stopped, I slowly walked back to Jingren Palace. When I walked into the palace door, I just felt heavy behind me, and my steps were almost beyond the threshold. The passing child, who saw me at a glance, immediately came to me: "Master Yue."
I looked up and smiled reluctantly at her.
She looked at me with a strange look, but immediately said, "Why have you been there for so long? The queen mother has asked many times."
I was a little numb: "Ah, what is it?"
"I don't know. She asked you to come back and go to the studio."
"it is good."
I nodded, turned and walked towards the studio.
There was still a warm incense, a taste that was once familiar. Chang Qing was standing by the table, and there were already a few freehand strokes on the table with rice paper, and her writing hand was on the lips, and she breathed softly.
I walked over: "Queen Mother."
She turned her head with a smile. When she saw me, the smile on her face was almost the same as that of the button just now. I looked a little stunned by this expression. When I lowered my head, I was surprised to find that I was still wearing it. Pei Yuanzhang's fur.
I don't know how many people saw it from Yushufang.
Thinking about it this way, I just feel that the warmth in the studio is not so warm.
Chang Qing quickly recovered her calmness, ticked her lips, and smiled, "The manager just came over and gave me my winter clothes. This palace also wants to tell you that in the future, you will be out of Jingren Palace. You do n’t need to use Jixian. It seems to save the temple. "
I feel more and more silent.
She glanced at me again, without blame, but just reached for another pen. I hurried over to see that the ink in the ring had frozen a little, and then helped her to study the ink gently. She dipped some ink in the pen and continued to sketch on the drawing paper, while writing down, she said gently, "The emperor asked you to discuss the scientific examination in the past. Has the examination question been fixed?"
It should be settled, but I think of the look in Pei Yuanzhang's eyes when he saw the test question issued by Qinghan, hesitated, and said, "It seems not yet."
Chang Qing frowned slightly and said, "This time the scientific examination is not ordinary."
"Huh?" I looked up at her in confusion.
Chang Qing pondered for a moment, then said gently: "The officials of the six ministries are appointed once every three years. Although some old ministers have been in office for many years, it is time to change. The Emperor originally had the intention to promote talents from the new officials. But if all the people who are selected are-- "
She said only half of what she said, but I probably understood.
Not only did Pei Yuanzhang need the help of new officials, but in fact Shen Taifu also needed it. People couldn't escape life, illness, and death, not to mention that the talent flow in the court was faster than the current. Only by continuously cultivating new forces, he could always control the political affairs. So this time, their eyes are on this year's imperial examinations. However, if the selected candidates were Shen Taifu's students, the situation would be extremely detrimental to Fu Bazhen and Liu Qinghan in the face of Pei Yuanzhang.
"Also," Chang Qing said while holding the pen-hook line, "Officials have been appointed for three years, and this batch of officials has been enveloped. In three years, the princes will be older.
"...!" I stiffened my fingertips and looked up at her.
She nodded to me: "My father's trustee told me that Shen Fu has been very active recently and can't help but guard."
After hearing what she said, I was a bit surprised, not because she said something about Shen Gongzhen, but because it was the first time in such a long time that Chang Qing had been speaking, and Chang Taishi was mentioned.
For a long time, she was in the harem, and Chang Taishi was in the former dynasty. It seemed to be a kind of cold-hearted attitude, but now it seems that it is not the case. Going to move?
It seems that Shen Gongzhen has too much influence, and even Master Chang often has scruples. At the previous state banquet on the main hall, the Shen family originally wanted to get rid of me, and even weakened the strength of the Jixian Hall, so that it was easy to deal with Nian Shen; their strategies were not successful, but they saw it in front of Nian Shen Not only Jingjing Palace, Jixian Hall, but also a long princess that the emperor would not move.
As a result, their direction changed.
The salary was drawn at the bottom of the kettle. After three years, the prince was also big. If the power of Shen Gongzhen is more stable, then the words such as the early establishment of Prince Edward can be said.
When I thought about it, I saw Chang Qing put down her pen, turned around and looked at me solemnly, and said, "You are the true character of Jixian Temple. This time, you must be careful about the imperial examination."
I nodded. "Yes."
Even Chang Qing said so. It seems that this time the imperial examination was not so simple.
.
After the New Year hastily rushed, the day of the exam was approaching day by day. After the test was completed, the children from all over the country gathered in Beijing.
This year's capital is extremely lively, but it is also extremely cold. After the heavy snow fell a year ago, it has not been sunny for five days in a row. The entire world has become a white one, leaving only the bitter cold wind and coldness. Snow.
Early in the morning, someone came out to clear the snow.
The buzzing sound of the broom falling on the ground completely broke the tranquility of the day. I went out of the palace door in the carriage and went all the way to the tribute courtyard. Because the snow was slippery, the carriage was not moving fast, and there was a gust of wind occasionally. The curtain can see the looming figures around.
It's Shadow Guard.
I smiled bitterly, and Pei Yuanzhang could not relax at all.
The Ministry of Rites has already settled the Gong Yuan properly. After a while, the reference candidates came to the Gong Yuan one by one. After the candidates were admitted, the Gong Yuan was closed for three days to prevent cheating. As soon as my carriage stopped at the door, I saw that there were already guards standing in front of it, and it was very fierce and fierce.
When I got out of the carriage, a cold air struck immediately, and I couldn't help but stunned it. The assistant minister Zhu Zhuhua, who was standing at the gate of Gongyuan, came over and arched my hand: "Master Yue."
"I wish you." I also respectfully replied a courtesy and said, "This time I will try, I wish you so hard."
"Where and where. It was really hard this time, but Fu Fu."
"Master Fu has arrived?"
"I arrived early in the morning and was in it. May I go in?"
"Oh, don't worry, Xiaguan has queen queen's wife to explain."
He raised his eyebrows, and saw that there were several carriages behind me. The wobbler looked very heavy, wondering, and I laughed: "This time, it ’s snowing, and the students coming from all over the place must be frozen. Broken. The queen mother ordered the officials to come to the tribunal to distribute cold clothes for the students. These three days also made them better. "
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hua immediately said, "The queen mother is really kind-hearted!"
I smiled, and when I beckoned, someone immediately followed, and took out the cold clothes of the back of the car. Zhu Hua went forward to the candidates who were preparing to go to the tribute hospital, and those candidates were immediately grateful: Thank you Queen Queen for your gift! "
"The Queen Mother Chitose Chitose."
So, the gate of the tributary courtyard was divided into two sets. On the one hand, Zhu Hua took the other officials of the Ministry of Examination to examine the candidates. After the inspection was clear, he came to me to pick up a cold-proof clothes and entered the tributary courtyard.
I handed them the cotton clothes, smiled, looked nervous, and comforted and encouraged one or two words. These candidates are still young, some are in their teens, and have a childish look on their faces. This is the first time they have arrived at the feet of the emperor, and they are shocked by the majesty of the place. With a relaxed expression, he didn't even care about the original cotton clothing in my hands, but only for the gift of the queen.
Zhu Hua had been standing beside him at this time, and couldn't help but sigh gently.
I looked back at him and said softly, "Master, just the last few, is it the solution of the provinces this year ...?"
He nodded silently, carrying a gray beard, and a silent sigh.
I glanced at those people, said nothing, and continued with what was going on. Although there were many people at the gate of Gongyuan, they were still orderly.
Just then, there was a neat horseshoe sound from the long street at the door. I was holding a cotton coat and was about to hand it to the students. When I heard the horseshoe sound, I looked up and saw A team of people came in front of the horse, and the white horse Xuanzang looked quite imposing, and the snow on the eaves on both sides fell.
