When the provincial examination results were presented to the emperor, the princess in the imperial study wanted to hide her head in her stomach.
When Jiang Kunjun saw that the candidates who were found to have cheated were more or less related to the princess, he was so angry that he picked up the teacup in front of him and threw it at the princess, "You bastard! Look at what you have done!"
The boiling hot tea and the exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup exploded at the feet of the princess with a "bang", and the tea fragments splashed everywhere. Jiang Wuyong shivered in fear, and knelt on the ground with a plop. He bowed his head and said timidly: "Mother, Queen Mother..."
"Don't call me the Queen Mother!" Jiang Kunjun waved away the servant who was trying to calm her down, pointed her finger at Jiang Wuyong in the air, and angrily said, "I don't have a useless daughter like you! You even dared to take money to cheat in such an important matter as the provincial examination. You are much more capable than me!"
Jiang Kunjun stood up from behind the desk, walked to Jiang Wuyong, kicked her on the shoulder, and said angrily: "What do you want so much money for? Huh? Tell me, what do you want so much money for? Do you want to recruit soldiers to replace your mother's position?"
Jiang Kunjun used all her strength in this kick, and Jiang Wuyong, an adult woman, was knocked to the ground by her.
Jiang Wuyong immediately ignored the pain and hurriedly got up from the ground, hugged Jiang Kunjun's legs, and cried, "How could my daughter have such an intention? Mother, you know me best. I only think of you in my heart. How dare I have such an evil intention."
Jiang Kunjun looked at Jiang Wuyong, who was crying and snorting, with his eyelids drooping, and snorted coldly, "You know best whether it is true or not."
Jiang Wuyong shook his head quickly, raised his hand and raised four fingers to swear, "If my daughter has such a rebellious heart, and dares to let down my mother in the slightest, I will be struck by lightning! After death, I will not be allowed to enter the Jiang family mausoleum!"
This oath is really cruel.
Jiang Kunjun flicked his sleeves, pulled out his legs that were held by Jiang Wuyong, walked back to the desk, sat on the chair, and said, "You are a princess, but you actually participated in fraud and received money. What's the difference between this and selling official positions? If all the ministers of my great Jiang were this way, would there be any capable ministers? Sooner or later, the country will be over!"
Jiang Kunjun was still angry, but his tone was calmer than before.
Jiang Kunjun felt that Jiang Wuyong was a filial child, and would definitely not dare to do such a rebellious thing. She just said that because she was extremely angry.
When Jiang Wuyong heard her tone, he knew that his oath had dispelled the suspicion of the Queen Mother. He immediately put on an expression of having no choice but to do so, and said hesitantly: "Queen Mother, there is a reason why I did this."
Jiang Kunjun said with an ambiguous voice, "What's the reason? Tell me."
Jiang Wuyong knelt on the ground obediently and said, "Do you think my daughter cheated just to collect money? Actually, it's not true. My daughter did it for the sake of the nobles."
Hearing Jiang Wuyong talking about the gentry, Jiang Kunjun frowned and sat up straighter, "What does this have to do with the gentry?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that in the past two years, most of the capable children of the noble families have been more focused on getting things done. They are always lacking in study. Unlike those poor children, they only know how to study hard, their heads are full of nonsense, their thoughts are stubborn, and they look down on others when they are serious..."
Jiang Wuyong's words, whether intentional or unintentional, reminded Jiang Kunjun of the incident when the literati gathered at the palace gate to force her to give an explanation to the candidates. Suddenly, her expression became somewhat intriguing.
Jiang Kunjun glanced at Jiang Wuyong who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up. You have to wait for me to call you to get up. Where has your usual cleverness gone?"
Jiang Wuyong chuckled, "Thank you, Queen Mother." He got up from the ground, came to the emperor stickyly, and called out, "Queen Mother."
Jiang Kunjun glanced at her and said, "Let's continue talking about what happened just now."
Jiang Wuyong said: "If the situation continues like this, the court will be filled with pedantic scholars who only know how to read books, and there will be no one who can serve you sincerely and do practical things. What should we do?
The noble families cannot compete with the common people in the imperial examinations and will certainly be replaced by them in the court in the future.
Mother, do you still remember the incident when the scholars gathered at the palace gate? Even if the nobles become more powerful, they will still follow your orders because you are their backer and it is you who have given them the status they have today. They will never do such a thing.
What about the poor scholars? Now they are clamoring to protect their rights. If they are given important positions in the future, the common people will not be as obedient as the nobles.
They will feel that their mother was unfair to them by previously favoring the nobles, and their arrogance will only grow more rampant.
This country belongs to you, the Queen Mother, not to those poor kids. ”
Jiang Wuyong said aggrievedly, "My daughter has not touched a cent of the money she received. She has kept it all. She is preparing to pick a unique gift for you on your birthday... Now that I have told you everything, there will be no surprise when the time comes."
Jiang Kunjun seemed to be thinking about something, but he smiled distractedly when he heard it, "You have such filial piety, and the Queen Mother is very happy. Gifts or not, they are all your thoughts."
Jiang Wuyong had a silly smile on his face, but he lowered his eyes to hide the triumphant look in his eyes. What the Queen Mother meant was that you should keep the money.
Jiang Kunjun lowered his eyelids and looked at the memorial on the desk, on which the names of the cheaters were densely written.
Jiang Kunjun pondered for a moment, picked up the red pen, circled a few of the leading cheaters on the memorial, and said, "Just punish these people and make them admit that the kitchen manager is their man, otherwise there will be no way to explain to the candidates.
These children will not be able to take part in the imperial examinations in the future, but with their mother's ability, she can still find them some official positions. If they do well and make contributions in the future, that's all we can do. ”
Jiang Wuyong happily accepted the order and went down.
Cheating in the provincial examination was just lifted up and then put down so easily.
Mr. Jin and Jiang Wuque wanted to see the emperor about this matter, but they were both stopped by the emperor.
This matter involves the Crown Princess and too many sons of the aristocratic families. The Emperor will not abandon these two for a group of scholars.
Old Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying frankly that he was getting old and was finding it increasingly difficult to understand the current situation in the court.
"The Jiang Dynasty is like a piece of fertile land, and the aristocracy is like towering trees, with roots entwined with roots and vines, squeezing out other seedlings and grass on the ground, desperately squeezing the nutrients from the land, and their branches and leaves blocking the sun, so that this piece of land will never see the light of day.
If this tree cannot be uprooted, sooner or later this land will turn into desert sand. When the wind blows, the sky will be filled with yellow sand and there will be nothing left. ”
When Jin Lao was drinking with Jiang Wuque, he said this very clearly, "You are my student, I advise you again, if you can't pull it out, you might as well stop as soon as possible, take Feng Yu back to the border, and guard the military power in his hands, so that you two descendants will have no worries."
Jiang Wuque was silent, playing with the wine glass in front of him, his eyes lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Teacher," Jiang Wuque drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, knocked the cup on the table in front of him, his eyes shining black, and said, "This tree must be pulled out!"
Old Jin raised his eyebrows, and without further persuasion or questioning, he picked up the dishes in front of him with his chopsticks, frowned unhappily, and said, "Let Feng Yu cook two dishes himself. The cooking skills of the chef in your house are really getting worse."
Jiang Wuque was unmoved, not even raising his eyelids, "Just make do with what you have."
Old Jin put down his chopsticks, folded his arms across his chest and lay on the table. He leaned closer to Jiang Wuque and whispered, "Let Xiaoyu cook two dishes, and I'll find you a helper to pull up the tree."
Jiang Wuque's eyelids moved, and he pursed his lips to think about it, then asked, "How about I cook a dish for you myself?"
"Go to hell," Old Jin stepped back and leaned back on his chair, his face full of disgust, "If you feed the dish you cooked to pigs, they won't eat it."
Jiang Wuque smiled and said, "Ah Yu won't cook, so you can just give up on this idea."
Old Jin glanced at Jiang Wuque, stood up, straightened his clothes, stood at the door and shouted to the palace, "Xiao Yu!"
Jiang Wuque hurried over to pull Old Jin, but she was in a wheelchair and her flexibility was not even as good as that of a sixty-year-old man. In order to satisfy his appetite, Mr. Jin let Jiang Wuque fully experience what it means to be strong even in old age.
Feng Yu finally came, and General Jin repeated what he had just said to him, "If you don't want her to die of exhaustion at such a young age, go and copy a few dishes, and I'll find her a capable assistant."
Feng Yu went to the kitchen without saying anything. Jiang Wuque did not stop him. He called him twice, but he only heard him turn around and say, "No more drinking."
Jiang Wuque looked at Feng Yu's back and sighed, "My silly husband... Even if you don't tell me, I know who this helper is."
Elder Jin raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
Jiang Wuque put his hand on the smooth handle of the wheelchair and smiled, "Isn't it the champion from a humble family, Wei Min?"
"Wei Min won two first prizes, and she is still young, which shows that she is not just a person with a good memory and only knows how to study," Jiang Wuque tapped the wheelchair handle under his palm with his fingers and smiled, "The most important thing is that she comes from a poor family."
"Pulling out the big tree of the noble family is my chance, her chance, and the chance of all poor students."
Elder Jin nodded. "I've read her essays. She's a talented person. But considering the current situation in the court, it may not be a good idea for her to stay in the capital."
How could a poor student stand out in a court controlled by the aristocracy? It will be severely suppressed.
Jiang Wuque frowned.
Old Jin touched his empty stomach with his hand. "It's useless to think about this now. It's better to think about the things in front of you. For example, how can you approach Wei Min so that she will be willing to surrender? For example, why hasn't Xiao Yu's dish been served yet!"
Jiang Wuque shook his head helplessly and said, "As for how to approach Wei Min... I'm afraid you don't know one thing. On the way back to Beijing with Ayu, we happened to save a man. The man came to Beijing to look for his wife who was taking the imperial examination. Ayu was kind-hearted and not only saved the man, but also sent him to the Imperial Examination Hall."
Jiang Wuque smiled and asked in a friendly tone, "Teacher, who do you think the man's wife is?"
How could Mr. Jin not guess it? His face immediately drooped, "I just want to know when my food will be ready."
Jiang Wuque ignored her and continued, "The man's wife is none other than Wei Min, the champion on the list tomorrow."
The author has something to say: Small theater
How to win over
Princess: To win over? Oh, it doesn't exist
Lao Ba: (smiles sweetly) I saved your husband.
Wei Min: Why don’t I want to follow anyone?
I recommend my gay friend Ran Momo Ran's female-dominant novel "Quickly Wearing Female-dominant: The Road to Chasing Husband". It's also a male-dominant novel. The female protagonist says: If I change the world, my husband won't recognize me QAQ. I recommend it to everyone~
In addition, I calculated that Wei Min and A'ruan haven't had sex for a long time, and no one saw A'ruan today, so I'm going to add more chapters. The updated chapters... are still in my mind...
I will try my best and update more tomorrow, that is, I will update twice a day tomorrow plus (you know what I mean)
