Chapter 1536 No Longer the Uncertain Emperor

Snow Flower squinted her eyes, looking lazy and enjoying herself.

It was just as comfortable as when she was lying in fourth master's arms and he dried her hair and called her a lazy cat.

Erha lay beside Ruoyin's chair, lazily watching the court ladies and eunuchs coming and going.

After listening to Li Fukang's report, Ruoyin said lightly, "Got it."

Then, she closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the grand teacher's chair, and sneered a few times.

At first, Ruoyin thought that Geng Anqian would be given the same death as Qin promised.

Thinking about it now, it is estimated that Geng Anqian did not kill the harem, but just took advantage of the viciousness of the harem concubines to make Qin agree to fall into the pit.

As for Geng Anqian's fake pregnancy, it probably had to be offset by saving Fourth Master's life.

However, Geng Anqian was willing to kill herself in order to climb up.

The medicine for twin false pregnancy is poisonous and will backfire.

Presumably, Geng Anqian will have sequelae in the future.

The big pig's hooves are ruthless enough.

Some time ago, Geng Anqian and Ma Qi were also highly praised.

In the court hall, they called Ma Qi and Ai Qing a few days ago.

Now Ma Qi's house has been ransacked, and he is banned from the clan mansion forever.

Geng Anqian, who saved his life in the past, loved his concubine and concubine and shouted affectionately a few days ago.

I will be expelled from the palace today.

However, Ma Qi and Geng Anqian are both to blame themselves, and they can't blame others.

From this day on, Geng Anqian's concubine experience card for several months expired.

To be precise, she was dismissed from the royal family as soon as the usage period expired.

After Geng Anqian was expelled from the palace, nobleman Yu was demoted, and Qin promised to be given a white silk, the alliance of concubines headed by Geng Anqian lost three allies in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Concubine Xin and Concubine Ying have a very good understanding.

The two of them didn't say anything, they just broke up on the spot.

This kind of sham alliance formed quickly and disintegrated even faster.

In the days that followed, Fourth Master never checked anyone's sign in the harem.

He only went to the Changchun Palace and reprimanded Concubine Qi for not teaching the fourth elder brother well.

In the previous dynasty, he suppressed the Niu Colu family.

It can be said that they have warned the front and rear palaces.

Everyone thought that their emperor had been on the throne for many years, and the foundation had been stabilized.

The previous dynasty was no longer turbulent, and the emperor was no longer the vacillating Emperor.

In the past, the foundation was not stable, and they did not necessarily get punished for minor offenses.

But now, they are no longer needed, so they start to clean up the former court and the harem, especially those who are foreign relatives.

Besides, fourth master was busy assigning official positions to candidates who had passed the imperial examination.

In the afternoon of this day, fourth master summoned a dozen or so people from the imperial examination high school to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Of course, these people are all relatively outstanding people in this imperial examination.

As the champion of both civil and military skills, Wen Qianmo is undoubtedly the best among this group of people.

After Ruoyin took tens of thousands of women to parade in Suzhou last year to give a speech, the Qing Dynasty only began to open scientific examinations to women last year.

Therefore, Cao Luoyun is the only female Jinshi in martial arts this year.

Both she and Wen Qianmo were the ones that Fourth Master summoned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Due to the large number of people, fourth master first made arrangements from some lower official positions.

He sat on the throne of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was called in one by one.

Basically, they are asked about their interests, hobbies, why they want to take the scientific examination, and their expectations for the future. It is equivalent to an interview.

It's just that this interview is at the imperial level.

If the answer is good, it is common to be promoted.

If you don't answer well, you may go back and retake the exam, or you may lose your mind.

At this moment, fourth master summoned a liberal arts Jinshi to come in.

The man was dressed in a gray-blue cloth, and he looked about forty years old. He walked to the middle of the hall, and saluted the fourth master, "I kowtow to the emperor."

It was just a salute, and he trembled a little when he spoke.

It was the first time in my life that I had a face-to-face, one-on-one communication with the emperor.

That alone made him nervous.

Fourth Master looked at the Jinshi leisurely, and asked calmly, "Why did you take the scientific examination?"

"..." This man has always been a liberal arts Jinshi with good academic examination results.

But he usually keeps his ears shut and only reads sage books.

If the emperor asked him about poems, songs, Fu, four books and five classics, he could answer them fluently.

But the emperor actually asked him why he was taking the scientific examination, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave's scientific examination is to give yourself an explanation for decades of hard study."

Hearing this, fourth master frowned imperceptibly, then waved his hand to signal the other party to back down.

Under the man's file, he wrote the words "Zheng Qipin Hanlin Academy editor" and closed the booklet.

Su Peisheng stood beside Fourth Master and could see clearly.

A seventh-rank official is just a small official.

At the same time, I couldn't help complaining in my heart.

What's the use of this person just knowing how to read dead books.

The conversation was dead with one sentence, how could the emperor continue to chat with him.

The emperor asked a few words, but the answers were irrelevant, and the answers did not reach the emperor's heart.

Fortunately, he is still a jinshi of liberal arts, and his art of speaking is not as good as that of the chief eunuch!

If the emperor asked him why he was a eunuch.

He wouldn't say such nonsense as "just to give an explanation for his decades of eunuch career".

Of course it has to be said "to serve the emperor faithfully"!

After this Jinshi went out, the next one to come in was a martial arts Jinshi.

This person was wearing a long brown robe, with a burly body and powerful arms, he looked over thirty.

After he saluted, Fourth Master asked a similar question, "Martial arts is hard work, and there will be injuries all over your body. Why do you want to practice martial arts?"

Those who can pass the Jinshi examination have all the strengths, so he doesn't ask any professional questions.

Just wanted to see them in person through some seemingly simple questions.

The man didn't think too much, so he replied directly: "I was taller than my peers when I was a child, and I often fought with others. My parents saw that I was a good material, so they asked me to practice martial arts, and I started to practice martial arts." .”

Speaking of this, he scratched the back of his head, and said in some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes, I just want to make money and honor my parents through my own efforts, and I'd better be an official, marry a virtuous woman, and have many children." Cub."

As soon as these words came out, Su Peisheng stood beside him holding back his laughter and felt uncomfortable.

Most people who practice martial arts spend their energy on practicing martial arts and don't have time to read and write.

Therefore, in layman's terms, most people who practice martial arts are illiterate.

This led to a chain of contempt among the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The civil officials laughed at the military officials as illiterate, vulgar, and unreasonable.

The military officer laughed at the civil servants who only talk on paper and are greedy for life and afraid of death.

It's really hard to explain why a scholar meets a soldier.

As the emperor, fourth master smiled heartily after hearing what the man said.

"Okay, it's good to have a heart of benevolence and filial piety, but if you are an official in the court in the future, you can't use your emotions to fight with others. Your strength should be used on the battlefield, not on your own people."

In this dynasty that couldn't afford food, there were too many unattainable desires.

Too much temptation, too much hustle and bustle, no matter what the reason is, it is a good original intention.

A heart full of desire is nothing, without a heart is a life without a soul.

Knowing that people who practice martial arts have such temperaments, fourth master was not dissatisfied, but he didn't want to talk too much either.

He wrote in the man's registration book "Zheng Liupin Ying Qian Zong", and signaled the man to step down.

Next, several people came in one after another.

One by one, they reviewed all their professional knowledge as early as the day before.

But fourth master didn't ask them about their knowledge at all, but just talked with them about the past, present, and future.

About half an hour later, Cao Luoyun appeared, breaking the rule of all male Jinshi.

Cao Luoyun was wearing a dark green robe with a beautiful appearance.

But because of practicing martial arts all the year round, he doesn't have those pretentiousness.

She walked to the center of the hall, "I kowtow to the emperor."

Generally, Manchu officials are called slaves in front of the fourth master, and Han people are called ministers, and Cao Luoyun is a Han.

Since he has always been a male Jinshi, it was the first time that fourth master saw a female Jinshi.

The key opponent is still a martial arts practitioner.

However, the fourth master still asked the question as usual: "You are a woman, why did you come to take the martial arts imperial examination?"

Hearing this, Cao Luoyun raised her head and looked at Fourth Master with that incredible look.

When she came in just now, she didn't pay attention to it because she was too far away and she kept her head bowed to meet the Holy One.

It is only now that I realize why the emperor looks so familiar.

Oh, she remembered, isn't it the imperial envoy who helped her when she was in Suzhou last year?

After Cao Luoyun stared at Fourth Master for a few seconds, even though she was puzzled, she couldn't question Fourth Master face to face.

She is just a Jinshi in the scientific examination, how dare she question the current emperor.

At the same time, she was disturbed by her ignorance and rudeness last year.

To know that he is the emperor, she will definitely not disguise himself as a man to flirt with his women, let alone verbal conflicts.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't care about it at the time, and he probably doesn't care about it now.

However, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that he doesn't recognize her?

Thinking of this, Cao Luoyun's face returned to normal, and she tried to ask: "Your Majesty, when you were in Suzhou, didn't you suggest that the imperial examinations be open to women and that I take the military examinations?"

Fourth Master: "..." Is there such a thing?

Su Peisheng stood beside Fourth Master, winked at Cao Luoyun, and pointed to his own brain, signaling Cao Luoyun.

Seeing it, Cao Luoyun was baffled. She had heard that the emperor had lost his memory. Could it be true?

In the end, this hint ended when fourth master turned his head to look at Su Peisheng.

Fourth master waved his hand at Cao Luoyun, signaling her to back down.

He didn't even assign an official position, so he asked Su Peisheng, "Do you know her?"

Su Peisheng smiled embarrassingly, "Your Majesty, when you and the empress were on a southern tour, at that time Suzhou machine craftsmen called Xie, and tens of thousands of craftsmen gathered together to call Xie, and the leader was Miss Cao."

"Her family has practiced martial arts for generations, but she was framed by her peers, and hundreds of members of the family disappeared. Fortunately, she met you and your empress at that time. You solved the problem of low treatment for craftsmen in the shortest possible time, and also returned the favor. The Cao family is innocent."

"It's just..." At this point, Su Peisheng couldn't continue.

"Go on." Fourth Master ordered.

Su Peisheng: "At that time, the empress made trouble with you because you had a long talk with Miss Cao all night."

After the fourth master heard this, his sword eyebrows slightly raised.

He didn't ask Su Peisheng too much about this matter, and let the next one come in.

This time, it was Wen Qianmo, this year's number one scholar in both civil and martial arts!
