The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 570 The Decree
Sheng Yuan has been busy with the provincial examination qualification examination recently. The results of this examination are related to whether he is qualified to enter the examination room of the local examination, and it is even more related to whether he can directly participate in the practical examination after returning from a study tour.

So, the little girl, who had just relaxed for a few months, began to study hard all night again.

Of course, even though she kept her hands on the scroll, Sheng Yuan, a little girl who loves life, still noticed the difference between her family and her sister.

Every time when it was time to rest, my elder sister had to go to her to have a heart-to-heart talk with her, analyzing the responsibilities and powers of various positions in the imperial court. Sheng Yuan summed up the central idea of ​​this series of conversations as: If you are not in the position, you will not seek the government.

Every afternoon tea, mother must chat with her about the topic of self-examination three times a day.

Sheng Yuan distilled the central idea of ​​this series of chats into: how much ability can jump so high.

After practicing martial arts, her father would use stories to explain to her the various elements of official career, such as the operation of the officialdom, the relationship between colleagues, and ideals.

In this regard, Sheng Yuan's central idea in telling these stories is summarized as follows: IQ and EQ can be used flexibly in officialdom.

It lasted until the eve of the qualification test, when Sheng Yuan, who had finished packing the stationery, suddenly realized: So, father, mother, sister, they are giving her psychological counseling!
Touched by Sheng Yuan, she sniffed and rubbed her round chin to think, could it be that she is not behaving normally?
【no problem!From body to mind, you can be healthy! ] After the system quickly scanned, he patted his chest and assured Sheng Yuan, 【You are the same as when you were a child, and you have never seen such a strong girl! 】

"..." Sheng Yuan felt that this guy's words were not appropriate.

Forget it, generous girls don't care about these things!
Sheng Yuan, who thinks that if his adults care about him, will be chaotic, happily let go of these entanglements, and prepares for another big exam.

The test results came out very quickly this time, and the results were posted only six days after the test.

As expected, Sheng Yuan still won the championship.

After receiving the qualification certificate for the provincial examination, the overjoyed Sheng Yuan began to look forward to the arrival of the study tour.

While she was happily waiting for her study tour, the follow-up results of the draft were finally released.

The three imperial decrees are like three thunderbolts, which startled the people concerned so much that they almost split their legs.

First, Emperor Jinghe married the nine-year-old eldest daughter of the current An Guogong to the third prince as his concubine.

This decree, which was somewhat illegal to some extent, not only caught the Third Prince by surprise, but even Duke Anguo's mansion was stunned.

After An Guogong's mansion was blown up and down, the second imperial decree was directed at Shengguo's mansion.

Sheng Han, a daughter of the Sheng family who has been raised in the palace, was named Mrs. Zhuo Wen and given to live in the Yuanxuan Pavilion in the middle garden of the palace.

The two Sheng Guogongs were dumbfounded when they received the imperial decree, and the father and son hadn't figured out what this position was for a long time.

Ma'am, this harem rank was established when the Yan Dynasty was just established, and it existed for two or three generations. When Emperor Yan Wen came, the concubine rank system changed.

In terms of matching the current harem, the wife should be equivalent to the current imperial concubine.

"The rank of the harem has not changed now, my son thinks that this lady's position will not be very high." Sheng Xiangya, the current Duke of the Sheng Kingdom, shook his head, "Accordingly, the imperial decree should clarify the rank, but only the brief words of the imperial decree... ...My son thinks it's better not to be happy too early, it's better to let the third son enter the palace to ask."

The old Sheng Guogong narrowed his eyes and was silent for a while, before he said: "I remember that in the former Chen Dynasty, there was a Mrs. Guo in the harem?"

Sheng Xiangya's complexion became even worse when he heard the words, because the lady of that country sounded nice, but in reality she was the sixth rank among the twelve ranks of beauties compared to the current level of beauties, and she was only slightly higher than talented people. .

Up there are Jieyu, Zhaorong, Zhaoyi, concubine, and noble concubine.

It sounds like it is not low to enter the palace for the first time, but only Zhaoyi and above can be the head of the first palace.

"The emperor bestowed the Sixth Lady Yuanxuan Pavilion...is this the lord of the First Palace?"

Sheng Xiangya was uncertain.

The old Sheng Guogong snorted coldly: "Since ancient times, the concubine has taken over the inner court of the imperial palace, but the sixth sister has been pushed to the central court. Tell me, what kind of concubine is she?"

Sheng Xiangya was a little apprehensive.

What does the emperor mean by this move? !
"I'll let the third child inquire about it, but...you should be ready to abandon the sixth sister! Let your daughter-in-law enter the palace later, and give her enough money to support her for the rest of her life."

The old Duke Sheng opened his eyes. His indifferent eyes, matched with a cold expression, made Sheng Xiangya feel chills: "The foundation of Duke Sheng's mansion is not in the harem or relatives. The sixth sister is completely different. I'm afraid it's the emperor's warning." .Duke Sheng is determined not to get caught up in the royal turmoil."

Sheng Xiangya nodded and said yes, but he planned to find his third brother to ask the reason another day.

Although it's not that his child doesn't feel bad, he always needs to know the reason.

……

Emperor Jinghe issued two imperial edicts in succession, which stunned the only three old nobles who had been passed down from the Yan Dynasty to the present. Immediately, the eyes of everyone in the capital focused on Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Then, the third imperial edict headed towards Yongxinghoufu.

Crowd: ? ? ?
Sheng Xiangxun:! ! !

He was yelling not to come over now...does it work? !

The third imperial decree is the decree of Emperor Jinghe to marry Shu Yajing, the second daughter of Shu Mu, the chief official of the mountain city, to the fourth prince Jiang Yuxun as his side concubine.

An imperial decree referring to marrying a side concubine was originally a bit ordinary and should not have attracted many people's attention.

However, Emperor Jing He not only bestowed side concubines on the fourth prince this time, but also bestowed side concubines on the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Qi Jiang Yulin and the third prince Jiang Yuming.

It's just that the decrees of the two princes' side concubines were handed over to the side concubine's natal family by the Ministry of Rites, and there was no word "announce to the world to hear about it" in the imperial decree.

So people can't stop thinking about it.

Of course, everyone speculated that the third prince might have fallen out of favor with the emperor.

The reason is also very simple. The third prince's concubine was not selected from the show girls, but he directly chose a nine-year-old girl, which seemed very different.

The fourth prince who was also the concubine first, the emperor did not choose a concubine for him in this draft, but the emperor made it clear that the concubine of the fourth prince would be selected from the next show.

Since the fourth prince can wait, why can't the third prince wait?The two brothers are only three years apart.Why is the treatment so different?

Looking at the prince who was also given to the side concubine, the eldest son of the emperor adopted the former prince as his heir early, which meant that he had no right to inherit the throne.

If you think about it carefully, the third prince and the eldest son are treated the same... What does this mean?
Of course, if we look closely at the life experiences of the two princes and side concubines, the eldest son and second concubine came from the Earl's Mansion, while the second concubine of the third prince is the granddaughter of Yuan Wai Lang!

Although this Yuanwailang was once the chief assistant of the late emperor, he is now a member of the outsider. To be honest, the treatment of the third prince is not as good as that of the eldest son of the emperor!
Could it be... the third prince was also eliminated? !

Just as the dignitaries in the capital were secretly speculating, Emperor Jinghe came to Huaning Palace.
