Chapter 283 Growing Cotton

Shen Jia glared at him and continued the topic.

"Achen, how old was Eunuch Huang when he entered the palace?"

"Eight years old?"

"In other words, Duke Zhen Guo brought him into the palace thirty years ago?"

"Well! Thirty years ago, the late emperor was extravagant and indulgent in politics. The struggle for the throne among the princes was extremely fierce. The Duke of Zhenguo was the founding father of the country and held great power for generations. He was the target of every prince's wooing. It was not difficult for him to go through all the trouble and let a physically handicapped person enter the palace as a eunuch.

He laid many hidden clues in the palace, which played a big role at the critical moment. "

...In modern times, people only need surgery, but in ancient times, it was considered unlucky.

Eunuch Huang will not have to have his piece of flesh cut off, nor will anyone find out that he is a fake eunuch. This is a great gift to him, and he must be grateful to Duke Zhen.

"That's right."

"After the emperor came to the throne, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace went through a big purge. The fact that he was able to stay shows how deeply he hid it. And if the matter between him and Cui Shanggong hadn't been revealed by Xiang, no one would have known about it. I didn't expect this aspect. After all, who would have thought that a rootless eunuch could make a woman pregnant?
The bedrooms of the eunuchs and palace maids lived outside the imperial city, and Xiu Niang was also a palace maid. The guards in the palace generally did not patrol anywhere, and there were many palace maids and eunuchs who had sex with each other. Just close one eye and basically no one cares about this matter. "

"It makes sense. Only in this way can it be explained that Concubine Lin did not deal with Cui Shanggong after knowing that she was pregnant. Instead, she gave her abortion pills, thereby taking control of Eunuch Huang and Cui Shanggong. If our hypothesis is true, we can If you arrest Eunuch Huang and Cui Shanggong and question them, you will know the answer."

"It's not yet time. Duke Zhen Guo has been making small moves secretly during this period. Grandpa Huang has already secretly ordered some soldiers from various places, Qiao Zhuang, to dress up and return to the capital. It won't be too late to wait until they arrive in Beijing before taking action. This time, Duke Zhen Guo must be One party was uprooted.”

"Could it be that the generals of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and the Royal Forest Army have all been won over by the Duke of Zhen? We need to mobilize soldiers from all over the country, and the emperor is not afraid of leaks?"

Xiao Yichen smiled and rubbed Shen Jia's head: "That's not true. The commander-in-chief of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, General Jianwei, is from the emperor's grandfather, and the deputy commander is from Zhen Guogong. A large number of generals below have taken refuge with Zhen Guogong. The commander of the Royal Forest Army had secretly taken refuge with Duke Zhen Guo. The deputy commander was a royalist, but not many people followed him.

Therefore, Zhenguo Gong is stronger than us. After much thought, the emperor decided to recruit several hundred elites from various places to return to Beijing. These people were all people placed by the emperor in various military camps. There were firemen, soldiers, and generals. There were at least 50,000 people in the military camps in various places. A few hundred people won’t attract attention…”

"The Duke of this town is so powerful! He can actually get so many people to join him!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo has been in the army for half his life. Most of the generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty were supported by him. With his guidance, it is not surprising that so many people took refuge in him."

"So we must find enough evidence to prove that they murdered the prince and the emperor and take the initiative, otherwise we will be passive when they launch a coup."

"That's the truth. Moreover, Grandpa Huang has been pretending for so long. He can only pretend for another month at most. If he continues to pretend, he won't be the same anymore."

"Well! Has there been any news from the secret guards who came to Cui Shang Palace and Huang Eunuch's home to investigate?"

"Not yet, there should be news in the next two days."

The two of them whispered to each other along the way, and even the driver outside could not hear what they talked about.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the grain farm, Xiao Yichen hugged Shen Jia tightly and ravaged her red lips before letting her go.

Shen Jia stroked her slightly swollen red lips, a rare blush appeared on her face, and her smart eyes were a little more cute, making her look particularly cute.

Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened, and he wanted to hug her again, but she sidestepped and jumped out of the carriage.

Really, does she want to see anyone anymore? Xiao Yichen's eyes were full of smiles. He just wanted to hug her, how could he dare to kiss her? If his father-in-law sees him and prevents them from meeting, it will be more than worth the loss.

Shen Jia's mood was a bit excited and shy, and she liked this feeling very much.

In her previous life, she was single for thirty-five years. In this life, she got what she wanted and met such a young man whose appearance and IQ made her extremely satisfied. Moreover, they still loved each other. She was really lucky.

At this moment, Shen Jia is just a young girl in love, with a bright smile and gentle eyebrows. How can she look like the Dark King who makes criminals frightened?

When Shen Zhuoyun came back from the fields, he happened to see the silly smile on Shen Jia's face and the slightly swollen lips. He shook his head and sighed. She was as strong as Jia'er, but she was also a silly girl in front of love. Fortunately, the emperor's grandson was even worse than Jia'er, otherwise, he would have I won't be able to sleep.

However, the Dark King is the Dark King after all. When Shen Jia saw Shen Zhuoyun, he instantly returned to his usual calm self.

In the next few days, Shen Jia and Shen Zhuoyun followed Wei Dayong to plant cotton. It was not until the end of March that they finished planting cotton and returned to the Duke Hu's Mansion.

When they returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion, they heard that the results of the general examination had come out. Xiao Yichen's people had done very well in the examination.

Feng Zhanglin ranked first in the exam and was a member of Chunwei this time. Zhu Wanfeng was second, He Xinyuan was third, Liao Taoyu was fourth, and the others were all in the teens or 20s. The overall results were very good.

After the results of the general examination come out, you will have to take the palace examination on the eighth day of April.

Shen Hao and Zhou Sizheng took the government examination on the third day of April.

This time, in addition to Shen Jia, there were also Shen Yun and Shen An who sent them to take the exam.

After watching them enter the examination room, Shen An frowned and said, "Sister, I will not take the imperial examination in the future."

"why?"

"It's too boring to go through all the hardships to become a Jinshi and become an official. I want to travel all over the world to see the local customs and customs. I want to go to sea and see the scenery outside the Great Zhou Dynasty..." Shen An said proudly with his head held high.

Shen Jia pondered for a moment, "It's not impossible not to take exams. Everyone's life goals are different. It's a good idea for you to go overseas and have a look, but you still have to learn everything you need to learn."

"Yes! I will study hard." Shen An promised, patting his chest.

"Yun'er, what about you?"

"I want to take the first prize, and I want to be the first assistant of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Shen Yun replied without thinking.

Shen Jia smiled and said: "Not bad? Study hard and come on!"

"Don't worry, sister, I won't let you down." Shen Yun also patted his chest and promised.

"All roads lead to Rome. There must be people in all walks of life. As long as what you do does not harm the interests of others, is worthy of your own conscience, worthy of Dazhou and the people, my sister will respect your choice."

"Yeah! We get it." The two said in unison.

Three days later, the results of the government examination came out, and Shen Hao still came in first, and Zhou Sizheng came in second.
