Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 638 End of the play

Until he left the Qinzheng Hall, Cai Lun was still confused, and several of the courtiers following him were even more confused. Someone said: "Just now I saw that Your Majesty mentioned Mr. Liu and he was not very happy. Your Majesty was not overjoyed." Could it be that Mr. Liu has offended Your Majesty?"

Cai Lun also had a thought in his heart: "Your Majesty is a general with a prominent official position before he ascended to the throne. Mr. Liu is just a scholar. There is no intersection between the two, so how can they have any differences."

Someone else sighed: "Mr. Liu is such a talented person, but it is such a pity that his future will be cut off because of His Majesty's thought."

 “It’s a pity indeed.”

 Cai Lun sighed for Liu Yunzhi like everyone else, but in his heart he did not give up, and kept thinking about ways to reverse the fate of his friend.

That evening, Jing Shu came to Qinzheng Hall. When Li Ling saw his wife coming in, he quickly closed the memorial on the case and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Jingshu slowly walked up to Li Ling and said straight to the point: "I heard that Mr. Liu has passed the examination, but you turned him away from the palace selection?"

As soon as Li Ling heard this, his face immediately darkened and he replied: "This Cai Lun is really trying to save Liu's life. He actually went to you to ask for help."

“It’s not Mr. Cai.” Jing Shu said, “Xing’er told me when he entered the palace at noon.”

She looked at Li Ling and asked, "Liu Yunzhi is a talented man who is famous all over the world. Why do you want to ruin someone's future for no reason?"

Li Ling frowned and snorted coldly: "What kind of talented man is he? He is just a superficial person. I despise such a person the most."

Jingshu walked around him, but Li Ling turned his head to the side. Jingshu laughed angrily at him. She raised her hand and pulled his face, asking: "Are you still having problems with others because of those things in the past?" Prejudice, right? If so, then you are out of character."

Li Ling did not admit it, but he also did not deny it. Instead, he said angrily: "In short, I just don't like this person."

Jing Shu said: "How can an emperor act so freely?"

Seeing that Li Ling still refused to let go, Jing Shu turned over the document that Li Ling was writing on the case and saw that it was Li Ling's personal decree. He just refused to allow Liu Yunzhi to participate in the imperial examination, but actually ordered the Ministry of Rites to revoke the Jinshi that Liu Yunzhi had already obtained. identity.

Li Ling saw that Jingshu had seen this will, and he hurriedly blocked it with his hands at first, but when he saw that Jingshu had already seen it all, he couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face.

It took Jingshu a while to recover from her disbelief.

 It’s really hard to imagine that a person like Li Ling could be so stingy.

 This cannot even be described as stingy, it is simply very childish.

Jingshu turned to look at Li Ling, couldn't help covering her mouth and burst out laughing. Li Ling also laughed. He touched his nose awkwardly, looked at his wife and said, "I made you laugh."

Jingshu scolded her husband and replied: "If your will is passed on, I won't be the only one who laughs at you."

Li Ling pulled his wife to sit down on the dragon chair. He raised his eyes to see the decree he had just made, and couldn't help but smile: "I also know that this behavior is childish, but since Cai Lun mentioned this person, I have been Thinking about him makes me upset."

He paused and continued: "Just now, Liang came in and told me about the ban on burning in the palace during the Lantern Festival. I remembered again when we were newly married. On the Lantern Festival that year, I took you to the streets to watch the lanterns. That The person surnamed Liu actually openly sent you a lamp, which is really annoying, so I made this decision out of anger."

Jing Shu still remembered what happened back then. She smiled and replied, "Didn't you hit someone's house with a lamp that time?"

Li Ling smiled and retorted: "I didn't hit him, I just scared him and taught him a lesson."

"Well, since you were tolerant back then, as an emperor now, you can't be so petty." With that said, Jingshu took the half-written imperial edict from the case, raised her hand and put it in the furnace Inside: "It's better to destroy this quickly. If someone sees it, someone will be laughed at."

“I am the emperor. No one but you dares to laugh at me.” With a smile on his face, Li Ling leaned over and kissed his wife beside him. This year's palace election was the first time that Li Ling broke the old rules of the imperial examination. Although Liu Yunzhi, a merchant, was not selected as the number one scholar, he still won the third prize.

 The hearts of the poor scholars in the world were greatly inspired. For a time, literati all over the world wrote poems and essays to praise Li Ling's famous name.

Ziyun came in holding a stack of poems and said to Jingshu: "My queen, please take a look. These are poems in praise of Your Majesty. I am looking at them. They are all written with great literary talent."

Jing Shuxin took a piece of poetry, held it in her hand, and replied with a smile: "Since it is a poem praising the emperor, it must be of great literary talent."

Ziyun heard the hint of ridicule in Jingshu's words, and she smiled and said: "Throughout the past dynasties, there has been no shortage of poems praising the emperors, but those were all written by imperial literati, or those without character. It’s a piece of work that the literati in the world flattered." Ziyun pointed to the poem on the case and said proudly: "Our uncle is the first to be praised by literati all over the world from the bottom of his heart."

Because she was so happy, Ziyun realized she had made a mistake as soon as she spoke. She hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced around, lowered her voice and whispered to Jingshu: "Look at me, I have been in the palace with you for so many years, and now I suddenly I'm almost speechless."

Jingshu was naturally happy that her husband could win the hearts of scholars all over the world. She patted Ziyun's hand and replied: "It's okay, he is our uncle." After saying that, she smiled mysteriously at Ziyun, He continued: "Ever since I saw His Majesty's jealousy towards Mr. Liu that day, in the past two days, I have always unconsciously thought of what happened between the two of us."

Jingshu sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast. Things in the world have changed a lot, but it seems like nothing has changed."

Ziyun understood and quietly said to Jingshu: "I know, your majesty, your majesty has issued an order to cancel the palace banquet for the selected talents."

 According to the rules, every talented person who is lucky enough to be selected into the palace is eligible to attend the banquet hosted by the emperor, and the queen, princes and princesses will also attend.

After Jingshu heard Ziyun's words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "This guy is not overly jealous yet."

Ziyun also covered his mouth and snickered, and said: "I heard that Your Majesty also decreed that Mr. Liu be granted an official position in Bashu. The official position is not small, and he was made a governor. But the mountains in Sichuan are far away, and Mr. Liu is afraid It will never be more difficult to enter Beijing.”

Jingshu glanced at Ziyun and couldn't help but smile and said: "I just said this person is stingy, haha, it's true."

Ziyun smiled and said: "Just now, the empress said that nothing seems to have changed, but that's not it. Now even the prince is getting a wife, and your majesty's attitude towards you is still the same as before, and it has not changed at all."

“What are you master and servant whispering about?”

Jingshu and Ziyun were chatting here when they saw Li Ling entering the main hall at some point.

He is just thirty-five years old, which is the best age for a man. He has a tall and straight figure, handsome eyebrows, and the bright yellow dragon robe makes him look brilliant, but when he sees the cold and solemn person, When he was his wife, there would always be a gentle smile in his eyes unconsciously.

Jingshu saw her husband come in. As usual, she stood up and walked slowly towards him.

The main text is finished and will be continued outside the domain.
