A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

Chapter 38: Meticulous Work

People in Guozijian are busy with the upcoming winter solstice ceremony.

The emperor attached great importance to culture and education, and the vassals also saw the meaning of the situation, and sent gifts to the Guozijian to show their respect for Confucius and Mencius.

Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi also happened to be present, they turned sideways to make way for the statue and watched the statue go away.

Xiao Jingduo stopped and looked back at the statue. Bai Jiayi stood beside him and asked, “Which country is this a gift from?”

“How do you even know this?” Bai Jiayi clicked, “It’s their business to say that they believe in shamans, so what is the situation of sending the statue of the shaman to the Guozijian?”

Xiao Jingduo smiled lightly: “Perhaps I want their gods to bless this ceremony.”

Bai Jiayi couldn’t help but glanced a few more times, only to find that Xiao Jingduo had gone far: “Hey, you slow down, wait for me! If you don’t have anything to be courteous, it’s either a traitor or a thief, you say there is. Is it possible that they hid people in the statue and wanted to take the opportunity to catch us off guard?”

Xiao Jingduo just smiled casually at this: “Even if the statue is empty, at most two people can be hidden. What can two people do?”

Bai Jiayi recalled the size of the statue just now, and had to admit that he was whimsical. “That’s right, both of them are reluctant to hide, let alone hide an army… Then what are you doing with the things?”

Xiao Jingduo smiled inexplicably.

“Tomorrow, the senior brothers of Guozi School will hold a Wen Dao banquet, will you go?” Bai Jiayi asked. The Wen Dao Banquet is a semi-official banquet. The name sounds nice, but it’s actually just for the students to have fun in the name of Taoism. Even so, it was impossible to hold back that the host was rich and wealthy, and the name was loud, and the holiday was approaching, so it spread widely in the Guozijian.

“Wen Dao Banquet?”

“Yes, that senior brother and I are hype, saying that the host senior brother and the royal family are related, so we can even invite the prince over this time.” Bai Jiayi shook his head amusingly, “What is it? Dare to say it.”

Xiao Jingduo blinked, and suddenly changed his mind: “If that’s the case, I really want to see it.”

Bai Jiayi was stunned for a while before he realized what Xiao Jingduo was saying. He opened his mouth in surprise: “I heard it right? You actually want to attend the banquet of the same family?”

“There was a class before, which delayed the party.” Xiao Jingduo smiled and looked at Bai Jiayi, “Why, can’t you?”

“How come!” Bai Jiayi also smiled, “So, I want to go too.”

Bai Jiayi thought that the organizer was just talking, but he didn’t expect that on the day of Wen Dao Banquet, there was actually a prince coming.

The crowd surrounded the three princes, and they were very happy. Bai Jiayi shook his head with a tsk, and gently bumped Xiao Jingduo with his elbow: “That’s the prince in the palace, won’t you show your face?”

Xiao Jingduo’s mind was not here at all, he casually responded: “Well, okay, I’ll go in a while.”

Bai Jiayi is displeased: “Hello!”

But Xiao Jingduo stood up before he could finish speaking, and hurriedly left a sentence and ran out: “I’ll go out for a while, and I’ll talk about it when I come back.”

Xiao Jingduo just swept a few people from outside the territory and bumped into each other, and then went out one after another, Xiao Jingduo had a different intuition, and he didn’t care what Bai Jiayi said, nor did he care about being entrusted to him Li Qingfeng immediately got up and followed out. He followed these people and quietly walked outside.

After a few men came out of the room, they put their shoulders on their shoulders, looking like students who were talking very much, and went out together. They seemed to be wandering aimlessly, gradually approaching the shaman statue, two men standing in front, just blocking the other.

The other person quickly stretched his hand to the bottom of the statue with the help of his companion. However, he reached in and touched it, and then raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

The man was in shock when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

“Isn’t it strange why the weapon hidden in the shaman is gone?”

These people were startled, turned their heads, and saw a little girl with a white fox fur collar leading two maids standing not far away.

Her eyes are curled up like a crescent moon, and with a red cloak, she is as lovable as a child who gives money in such a cold winter and twelfth lunar month.

Yes, you can rest assured that you are a little girl standing outside. It’s dangerous here, go and play elsewhere!”

The little girl smiled and shook her head: “I don’t even recognize it, and it is vain to try to divide the countries and provoke civil strife in the Xuan Dynasty. It’s a fool’s dream.”

This time they completely tore the disguise and showed a fierce expression: “Who are you!”

Before he finished speaking, a feather arrow pierced through the severe cold and flew towards these people with a piercing sound. Like a signal, in an instant, many soldiers in black armor poured out from the surrounding, well-trained to flank them.

Several men saw that the matter had been exposed, so they could only shout at the house: “The situation has changed, immediately start and kill their prince!”

When Rong Ke heard this, he shook his head and sighed: “I’m standing so close, wouldn’t it be faster to kill me first?”

Xiao Jingduo just ran over and heard this sentence, he was anxious and angry: “The county master, it’s dangerous here, get out of the way!”

Rong Ke glanced at Xiao Jingduo and said lightly, “Didn’t I ask you to protect Li Qingfeng, he looks really weak, you should go back and look after him.”

Xiao Jingduo was very anxious, but this master was so calm, he could only persuade: “The county master, swords have no eyes, you should avoid one or two!”

The maids behind Rong Ke were fully alert, and when they heard Xiao Jingduo’s words, they also responded. Rong Ke could only reluctantly say, “Okay.”

Seeing that this little ancestor was finally willing to condescend to hide for a while, Xiao Jingduo was deeply moved, and hurriedly protected Rong Ke to go to a place where there were few people.

Hastily attacked. When various countries come to the dynasty, Xuan dynasty will naturally not be without precautions. Honglu Temple and Jinwuwei are particularly strict with the weapons of the countries. The Huihe people cannot bring weapons into the imperial city, so they can think of other ways. They obeyed the instructions of the wizard, hid swords and other objects in the shaman statue, and sent them to Guozijian in the name of congratulations, and then found an opportunity to kill several princes of other vassal states, provoking wars in Xuan Dynasty and other countries. Today, they accidentally learned that the third prince of the Xuan Dynasty emperor will also come to Guozijian. This is a fat sheep delivered to the door. The fine work of Huihe is not willing to give up this great opportunity, so they agreed to attack today and kill the third prince and the princes. If the student who smashed into Liang Zhihong’s case a few days ago was solved smoothly, he would be done. Just now, they sent people out to retrieve the weapons hidden in the shaman statue. Unexpectedly, the people outside did not return for a long time, and instead issued a warning of failure. Huihe Xizuo didn’t know where he leaked the rumors, but now is not the time to investigate these, they can only fight in a hurry and resist the officers and soldiers who seem to have fallen from the sky.

The Huihe people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill the third prince, but almost at the moment when the signal sounded, the third prince was surrounded by guards. In the end, it’s a trap.

However, there is no way out now. Killing the third prince is impossible. They can only drag a few students from the Imperial College to be buried with them. It’s a pity that thanks to the blessing of the royal family’s martial arts, the students of Guozijian are not weak scholars who have no power to hold a chicken. Not sure who will be at a loss.

The lobby, which was just talking loudly, fell into chaos in an instant. Many students rolled up their sleeves and fought, and the cups flew all at once, and the mourning continued.

Bai Jiayi was stunned by this kind of battle. He never thought that his classmates who were elegant and elegant on weekdays would have such a side.

Bai Jiayi silently leaned against the corner of the wall, and then moved out of the house inch by inch. As soon as Bai Jiayi came out of the house, he saw a long sharp knife pass by his eyes. His calf softened and he hurriedly ran away.

Xiao Jingduo frowned indifferently: “It’s only fifty steps away, come over by yourself.”

Bai Jiayi only felt an old blood stalk in his throat, he gritted his teeth angrily, and crawled away from the battlefield of officers and soldiers and meticulous work.

The little girl has delicate facial features, and her whole body is wrapped in a red cloak, which is both festive and eye-catching.

Bai Jiayi scolded his stomach and swallowed it all at once. He looked at the little girl, his eyes lit up: “This is your sister? Why is she here?”

Rong Ke slowly raised her head, her clear eyes fixed on Bai Jiayi.

Xiao Jingduo’s heart jumped with hatred, he hurriedly winked at Bai Jiayi, but unfortunately Bai Jiayi was watching Meng Loli, but he didn’t receive Xiao Jingduo’s warning.

The last time I had this feeling was when I saw Xiao Jingduo for the first time…”

Speaking, Bai Jiayi wanted to reach out to pinch the other’s little face, but he was grabbed halfway. Bai Jiayi’s wrist hurt so much, he turned his head in surprise and saw Xiao Jingduo frowning at him: “What are you doing?”

“I want to ask you, what are you doing!” Bai Jiayi shouted in pain.

Xiao Jingduo looked at Bai Jiayi, and then at Rong Ke, who was calm and smiling, and couldn’t help but sigh that there are always people who don’t want to live well. He pursed his lips, pulled Bai Jiayi away, and then explained to Rong Ke, “He is my classmate. Although he is a man, he is not malicious…”

Even Xiao Jingduo couldn’t go on.

Dare to pinch Rong Ke’s face and simply eat bear heart and leopard gall.

Bai Jiayi didn’t know that he was on the brink of danger just now, he hissed and gasped, and rubbed his wrist while complaining to Xiao Jingduo: “Is this your sister, what are you doing so hard? …Speaking of why she’s here, it’s too dangerous!”

Rong Ke still smiled and did not speak, seeing Rong Ke’s expression, Xiao Jingduo couldn’t explain Rong Ke’s identity, and could only stare at Bai Jiayi: “Don’t talk nonsense, this… Not my sister, she is…”

Before Xiao Jingduo finished speaking, another person came out of the room. Seeing how many of them were, he walked towards this place quickly: “Ke Ke, why did you come here? You can ask the third uncle to find me!”

The people around them saluted: “His Royal Highness King Liang.”

The third prince nodded, and then quickly went to see Rong Ke. After looking at Ren Haosheng, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, I didn’t hurt you, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to explain to my brother.”

“It’s my fault, which made the third uncle worry.” Rong Ke smiled.

After the third prince was sure of Rong Ke’s safety, he was able to pay attention to the two people around him, his eyes swept over Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi, nodded slightly and smiled: “Just now you were protecting Yang Letter? Not bad.”

“I don’t dare.” Xiao Jingduo lowered his head. This is true. Rong Ke may be surrounded by many Ming and Secret Guards, and to protect Xiao Jingduo does not dare to take credit.

After all, the third prince is a prince, and there is not much time to chat with the two Guozijian students. Today’s goal has been achieved, and he doesn’t want to delay too much outside the palace, so as not to cause trouble again. The third prince took Rong Ke away, and after the two walked a distance, Bai Jiayi asked Xiao Jingduo in a low voice, “She calls the third prince an uncle, which means that she is…”

Rong Ke, who had been far away, happened to hear this sentence, she turned around and smiled: “You guessed it right, I am the daughter of the prince, and the title is Yangxin.”

After the third prince and Rong Ke were completely invisible, Bai Jiayi poked Xiao Jingduo stiffly: “Why didn’t you remind me just now?”

alive.”

“I just never saw such a beautiful little girl, I can’t help it.” Bai Jiayi looked at the direction Rong Ke was leaving, and sighed, “The royal family’s reputation for beauty is well-deserved When the county master grows up, what kind of scenery will it be!”

Xiao Jingduo felt that Bai Jiayi was thinking too much.

The Winter Solstice Ceremony will be held as scheduled. After the grand audience to the court, the court hospitable to the vassals of various countries, but only issued a decree to reprimand Huihe.

The Huihe and the emperor had a quarrel and broke up. Then, the emperor ordered all the Huihe students in the Guozi prison to be detained and announced that they would send troops to the Huihe soon. The emperor sent the Huihe envoys to return to the country to inform them of the khan, pack up the army, and wait for the arrival of Daxuan’s iron hoof.

At this point, the Chengnan Plague Case and Liang Zhihong’s Death Case have come to an end.

A few days later, a student named Li Qingfeng had a change in his home, so he quietly dropped out of school.

Xiao Jingduo thought later that if this Liang Zhihong of Guozijian was a meticulous work of Huihe, then Hanchuang studied hard for many years and was recognized by local officials for his talent and character. Where is the real poor student Liang Zhihong?

Xiao Jingduo couldn’t bear to think about it any more, I’m afraid he was probably killed on the way to Chang’an. These meticulous works not only destroyed the most sincere hope of a civilian student, but even under the guise of Liang Zhihong’s identity, they intended to overthrow the new dynasty and regenerate war and chaos in this land that had finally gained peace.

However, in the end, evil is more than righteous, and the Daxuan iron cavalry who swept through Guanzhong will teach the vassal countries that are just about to understand what it means to violate our country.

The candidate for the expedition coach is still hotly debated in the court, but the spring of Chang’an has come quietly.

In the sixth year of Qiyuan, the army that went to Huihe had just set off, and another earth-shattering event happened in the DPRK.

The Empress Dowager, in conjunction with many ministers, wrote a letter to the emperor to make the daughter of Prince Min the county head.

Only the daughter of the prince can be the princess. The queen mother’s move is very delicate.

The author has something to say:

I just turned over the itinerary and found that Xiao Jingduo has been very busy recently, constantly encountering homicides and solving homicides on the way. The author felt that this was not possible, so he gave him a small holiday. The next chapter went to the Shangsi Festival, and then jumped the timeline and began to take the imperial examination~
