Easy to farm

Chapter 259
During the few days of the exam, the capital seemed extraordinarily quiet. I heard that it was because the Holy Majesty attached great importance to the exam this time and supervised the exam himself. For the sake of the emperor’s safety, the Imperial Forest Army guarded every fortress, and all the idlers avoided. There are no pedestrians.

The fact that the emperor came to the test in person this time is also related to his own situation. He urgently needs to cultivate his own strength to fight against some aristocratic families and old ministers who did not support his succession before, and are still singing against him from time to time.

Pei Xiangxiang didn't know much about the political situation of the Dasheng Dynasty. When she was in Qingyang Town, she only considered how to change her life so that her family and herself could live better. Focusing on making money and doing business, as for politics, Pei Xiangxiang is not too interested in it, whether it is in his previous life or now.

But even if Pei Xiangxiang was not interested in these things, he couldn't stand up to all kinds of rumors outside, and because of Lin Xu's scientific research, Pei Xiangxiang also heard a lot.

It is said that when the current emperor was only a prince, he was not taken seriously, not only because his biological mother was just a lowly concubine, but more importantly, when the concubine gave birth, she gave birth to a pair of twins in one fell swoop, and the children just died. After the birth, the queen and the queen mother fell ill one after another. It was rumored that their life experience was unknown and they were ordered to be relatives. As a result, the emperor didn't like their brother and sister very much.

Although the current Holy Majesty is the eighth prince, his life has not been good since he was a child. Fortunately, he himself has worked hard. He has studied hard since he was a child, and his knowledge is also good. Bearing a low profile, ignoring the competition for favor in the harem, she copied scriptures and recited Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall, praying for the emperor, empress, queen mother and the Dasheng Jiangshan community. This has been more than 20 years since the beginning.

Later, when the princes grew up, the first prince appointed by the late emperor was the eldest son of the empress, but things were unpredictable. Less than a year after the crown prince was appointed, the prince was seriously injured in an accident when he went out, and finally died. During this period, the Eighth Prince and her younger sister, the Tenth Princess, took good care of the sickness, and went to Concubine Liu's Buddhist hall to copy scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures every day, praying for the deceased prince, and behaved very respectfully.

And it was later found out that the prince was not accidentally injured, but someone did it on purpose. As for the purpose, it was naturally the position of the prince and the future emperor. This truth made the emperor even more furious. , and there are so many involved, he can only hold back.

Comparing with the actions of the Eighth Prince, when the other princes saw the death of the prince, they fought openly and secretly for the position of the prince, eager to win over the court ministers, the emperor was furious, thinking that among the many sons, there was only one Eighth Prince Brothers, father and son, mother and son.

The queen originally only gave birth to one son, and she was expecting her son to succeed to the throne, but who knew that such a thing would happen. After the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the queen was also lingering for a long time. Ready to move, he was naturally unwilling in his heart, and knew that the prince died unexpectedly, so he naturally didn't want his enemy to get what he wanted, and seeing that Concubine Liu was always peaceful, he mentioned them in the emperor's ear, and even praised the eighth prince for the first time.

The emperor saw that other sons were staring at his position, his concubines were restless, and the ministers were all ready to move, and the previous and future dynasties were not stable, so he cut the mess quickly and tried his best to overcome all difficulties, and directly canonized the eighth prince as the prince, and the other princes canonized Prince, by drawing a fiefdom, it can be regarded as a good arrangement for Dasheng's future.

The eighth prince ascended to the throne with almost no power behind him. Later, he was almost assassinated by other princes several times. He was always under the threat of various forces, but he was able to sit still As for the throne, I have to thank the former queen and the current empress dowager.

After the Eighth Prince succeeded to the throne, he did not confer the title of his biological mother or his younger sister, but the empress dowager, and honored her. As for his biological mother, Concubine Liu, he asked to leave the palace. Guarding the mausoleum for the former emperor, but he did not keep him, nodding his head and sending Concubine Liu out of the palace.

The choice and decision made by the emperor and his biological mother, Concubine Liu, made the empress dowager feel at ease immediately, so she appeased her natal family and those who supported the prince before, and turned around to escort the current emperor.

With the support of the empress dowager and the arrangement of the first emperor, today he has stumbled all the way, but he has come to today. Now that he has succeeded to the throne for less than ten years, his foundation is not stable, so he naturally needs to cultivate his own strength.

After listening to all kinds of market rumors and palace gossip, Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help sighing that history is really written in blood, and mountains and rivers are made of bones.

Lin Xu took the exam for several days, while Pei Xiangxiang accompanied Han Shi for several days. Although Han Shi looked calm on his face, he was always uneasy in his heart. He was afraid that Lin Xu would lose his name this time. Fortunately, Pei Xiangxiang didn't care about Lin Xu's exam results have been comforting Han, and Han has calmed down a lot.

Pei Xiangxiang knew that the examination experience was far more stressful than the college entrance examination. Therefore, when the examination ended, Pei Xiangxiang asked Pei Yongping to wait outside the examination room with the soup stewed with tonics. Han and Yang, then Prepare all kinds of delicacies at home. As for Pei Xiangxiang, he boiled a pot of soup with herbs, and then bathed Lin Xu to relieve his fatigue.

Before Lin Xu left the examination room, they had already arranged things properly. They just waited for Lin Xu to come back, eat and drink well, take a bath, and then have a good rest.

It's a pity that they didn't wait for Lin Xu to come back, but Pei Yongping ran back with a face of panic, saying that all the people who participated in the scientific examination and several examiners were arrested this time and put in the prison. It is said that there were candidates in the examination room Cheating was caught by the emperor on the spot, and many cheating tools were seized on the spot. After the exam was over, the exam room was blocked, and all relevant personnel were guarded.

Hearing that Lin Xu didn't come back and was taken into a cell, Han immediately passed out when she heard it. Pei Xiangxiang was scared out of her wits at the beginning. You must know that her concept of imperial power is always beheading. Of course, she can't be blamed for this I think the superiors are so arbitrary and mindless, but when I was a child, I watched Huanzhugege, but inside I always said that I was going to lose my head.

But after the panic, Pei Xiangxiang calmed down. Since all the people who participated in the scientific examination were guarded, it was not only Lin Xu, which meant that Lin Xu was safe, and since the emperor wanted to cultivate his own power, That's why he invigilated the exam himself, and it was even more impossible for him to kill all these students. If he really wanted to do this, he would be risking the disgrace of the world, and some dark forces would not take the opportunity to make trouble.

After careful analysis, Pei Xiangxiang became more calm. After comforting her family, she hesitated for a moment, and went directly to Su's house.
