Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 255 People's hearts are unpredictable

People's mentality often changes with changes in the environment.

Although there were only five women in the harem, Lu Qiang did not know that the originally calm harem had quietly appeared after the birth of the child.

Among the five women in the harem, Wang Shen's parents died early, and there was no one in her mother's family who could handle it, so it was not helpful to her.

Sun Yao's father was a rebel and died long ago. Chunlan and Dongmei have lived in the palace since childhood, and their families have no impression at all in their minds.

In this way, only Xie Wushuang's background is the strongest, and she is also a famous lady. As her father's official position became higher and higher, she gave birth to a dragon son, and her whole body gradually changed.

became less talkative and more instructive. Except for Lu Qiang, the emperor's husband, even Wang Shen loves the queen.

Wang Shen loves to be easy-going. Although he is most favored by Lu Qiang, he has never been favored and arrogant. He only silently cares about these changes of Xie Wushuang, but has never revealed a little word in front of Lu Qiang, because she always remembers Lu Qiang's sentence - family and prosperity.

Wang Shen's tolerance undoubtedly contributed to Xie Wushuang's arrogance. Now she even often wonders why her son can't be a prince? If the son becomes a prince, won't he be the empress dowager in the future?

It was with this thought that she had changed unconsciously when she looked at Wang Shenai's mother and son.

There is a saying that it is difficult for Qing officials to solve housework cases. There is no doubt about Lu Qiang's political and military ability, but he ignores these little things that happen around him. I don't know if this is what people often say that it is dark under the light?

Tomorrow is the day when the court issued the list. At this time, Xie Wangzu suddenly felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something bad was going to happen. He was irritable, so he excused to visit his grandson and came to the palace to find his daughter.

There are many secret things to say between father and daughter. After Xie Wushuang welcomed his father in, he drove the maids out.

"Unparalleled, what's wrong with your majesty recently?"

Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Xie Wangzu asked eagerly.

Speaking of the emperor, Xie Wushuang is also angry, because she can feel that in addition to the queen, the emperor likes Sun Yao the most, but he is not very enthusiastic about her famous lady.

Liu raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "His mind is on others, and he has the intention to take care of our mother and son." Speaking of this, his eyes fell on his son playing beside him, sighed slightly and said, "Son! Mother can only rely on you in the future"

Xie Wangzu was very dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude and said unhappily, "You have to find a way to please your majesty. Our Xie family is all pointing at you!"

Xie Wushuang turned his head and stared at his father. After a moment, he suddenly said, "Did my father send someone to do what happened in Jiangling last time?"

Xie Wangzu was shocked and looked left and right nervously. Seeing that no one stared and said, "What are you talking about? Am I so bold?"

Xie Wushuang smiled coldly and said, "Who is his father? Wushuang is very clear. Don't worry, there are only three of us in this hall, and what they say will not be heard by others."

Although he heard his daughter say so, Xie Wangzu quickly came to the gate of the palace and observed carefully before returning.

"Father has to sit down as a senior official now, can't he find a few decent people?"

Xie Wangzu was stunned by his daughter's words again. He never thought that his daughter had such a vicious heart under his gentle and beautiful appearance.

After a moment of meditation, he said, "I didn't find people, but took the initiative to find me. I always have a bad feeling recently. That's all for this matter. Don't mention it again."

Xie Wushuang looked at his father coldly and said disdainfully, "Hasn't father always been bold? Besides, my son is not the prince. Once the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, will our mother and son have a good life? If you don't think about it, you should also think about the Xie clan, right?

Xie Wangzu suddenly felt that he really shouldn't come today. He didn't come to the palace often, but he didn't expect that his daughter had changed so much unconsciously.

In an instant, his forehead sweated and whispered, "Let me think, let me think about it"

"Three days later, the queen will take us out for an outing. In three days, my father should have enough time to prepare."

Xie Wushuang's voice seemed to come from the sky, making Xie Wangzu's hair all over his body stand up...

The day of issuing the list has finally come. More than 2,000 students from Guozijian and Taixue, as well as students from all over the country, gathered outside the official department to watch the red list posted outside the door and carefully look for their names on it.

There are more than a dozen yamen standing around the list, guarding the list without being torn off.

"Prince Wang, congratulations on getting the first one"

"Ms. Zhao, you are also among the top three"...

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad and lost. For a while, you can see all kinds of life from the faces of students.

There are dancers, some beat their chests, and some shake their heads and sigh quietly leave...

At this moment, someone shouted, "No, someone cheated. This exam is unfair."

In this case, people's emotions are the easiest to be influenced by people. Although this exam does not have enough time to prepare students, who is not studying hard in the cold window? Who is willing to admit that their knowledge is not as good as others?

Driven by this mentality, as the sound fell, more people followed.

"If someone cheats, we don't accept it. Let's go to His Majesty the emperor to judge"... The sound waves are getting louder and louder, and even the students who left before have returned to join in.

Those students who did malpractice saw that the situation was not good and sneaked away.

"Let's go to the palace to find Your Majesty..."

Someone took the lead, and other students immediately followed and rushed towards the palace.

There have been guards standing guard in front of the official department. Seeing that the situation is getting more and more chaotic, someone has already reported it.

Luoyang Yin Duanzi was almost scared to pee in his pants when he heard the news. Yesterday, the emperor praised him for treating Luoyang well. Now he has made such a big noise. Is it okay?

While sending people to report to He Guangsheng, the Panther's own army admiral, he summoned three class of servists and rushed to intercept the students.

At this time, the early morning has not yet dispersed. While discussing government affairs, it is also waiting for the golden hall of the champion of new science, culture and martial arts. But no one expected that the champion didn't wait for the news of the students to make trouble.

As soon as Lu Qiang heard this, his face suddenly sank. He glanced coldly at the fifth floor of Gongsun, and then at Xie Wangzu with a calm expression.

"Luo Song, go and see what's going on?"

At this time, the students have been stopped outside the palace by the Panther's own army. Although the soldiers stand upright, they are unarmed students opposite. They will not do anything until they are ordered.

The joker persuaded him painstakingly in front of the students.

"Each of you has a good future. Don't make any more trouble. I will definitely report to your majesty. Please thoroughly investigate this matter and go back! Ah! Let's break up!"

At the front of the students, there was a young student who said proudly, "This adult, we did not mean to disturb your majesty, but your majesty clearly promised that this exam would be fair and just, but why did the examination questions leaked first, and then the high school gold list of those scholars? How can it be fair? How can we bear these poor children who study hard in poetry? We don't have any requirements. We just want your majesty to open a re-examination. If it is still the current results, the students are willing to apologize to your majesty with death."

Duan Zichang was soaked with sweat. Just then, Luo Song came.

After learning about the situation, Luo Song looked at the young students and said, "What's your name?" Is there evidence for what you said? If you don't have evidence, you should be careful."

The young man hugged Luo Song and said, "Student He Changyu, the student said so. Of course, the students are fully sure. If adults refuse to believe it, they can find the top players, Tanhua, Bangyan and others on the gold list, and you will know at a try."

Luo Song nodded secretly, and the young man was bold and said, "Do you dare to follow me to speak in front of your majesty?"

When He Changyu heard that he wanted to see the emperor, he couldn't help but hesitate. At this time, two young people stood beside him.

"Brother He, let's go to meet with you"

With his companion, He Changyu was bold and nodded: "Please lead the way"

Luo Song turned his head and said to He Guangsheng and Duan Zichang, "Your Majesty has a purpose to lead the students to the square in front of the palace. No one is allowed to make a loud noise. Those who violate it can directly take it."

Then he said blankly to the three students with a pale face, "Let's go! Remember, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty"

Now the prestige of Lu Qiang, the emperor, is in the hearts of the Han people, which can be said to be supreme. His magical experience, as well as the deeds of recovering the land and repeling foreign invasions, have long been widely praised by these students.

Now I'm going to meet this god-like emperor. Several students said they were not nervous and afraid. That's false, but now they are already on the string, and they can't help retreat.

In this way, the three students were like going to the execution ground. Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, they summoned up the courage to follow Luo Song and walk towards the Golden Hall.

At this time, the Golden Hall was so quiet that it seemed that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard.

Lu Qiang sat behind the dragon's desk without saying a word, playing with jasper paperweight in his hand and looking outside the Golden Hall. He didn't know what he was thinking.

If the emperor doesn't speak, who dares to speak?

This is the first scientific examination carried out by the emperor himself. If what the trouble-orous students say is true, isn't it equivalent to slapping the emperor twice in the face? Can't you be laughed to death by the emperors and ministers of Wei, Qin, Yan and other countries?

Who dares to talk nonsense at this time? Isn't it obvious that the emperor will sprinkle his anger on you?

In silence, the atmosphere in the Golden Hall is so depressing that people can't breathe.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Qiang's eyes suddenly fell on Xie Wangzu and said slowly, "Your father, do you think this will be true?"

Xie Wangzu was also very nervous. He didn't expect things to be revealed so quickly, but many years of official eunuch career had already honed his will and face.

He walked out of class and said calmly, "This must be those students who failed the list are deliberately making trouble to vent their dissatisfaction."

"I fully agree with Xie Guozhang's words, and ask Your Majesty to deal with those trouble-provoking students"

Before Xie Wangzu finished his words, Gongsun couldn't wait to jump out from the fifth floor.
