Night shrouded the capital. Faintly. In the spring of March, a little light shines through the study and falls on the eaves of the house.

Zhou Shenxing, acting editor-in-chief of Pravda, sat behind the bookcase, looked at the handsome man who took off his hat in front of him, and said in surprise: "I thought Jia Huan would send Pang Shiyuan to talk to me." I don't want to be you. Your academy is really full of talents. ”

The person who came to visit late at night was Jia Huan's intelligence director, Liu Guoshan, the editor-in-chief of the Beijing Daily.

Liu Guoshan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Shiyuan has other matters, I hope Lord Zhou will forgive me." I'm going to talk about it, and it's the same. As he spoke, he stepped forward and presented a stack of anonymous silver tickets from Rishengchang: 100,000 silver dollars.

Zhou Shenxing looked at the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about business first." I have to ask one thing, how does it feel to beat Han Xiucai? I heard that you were in the Drunken Immortal Building that day. ”

As soon as Liu Guoshan heard it, he knew that today's matter was done! Haha smiled and said, "It's very cool." ”

On the morning of the eighth day of the first month of March, a spring rain fell. On the shore of North Lake, the courtyard is a little muddy.

"Shhhhh

In the bedroom, in front of the mirror, the beautiful concubine was helping Han Jin remove the corners of her eyes and the plaster on her face, and the bruises disappeared after a few days.

In the heart of the beautiful concubine, she secretly smiled: the pig's head face has finally recovered. Their hard times are at an end. In the past few days, I have been beaten and scolded by him.

The king of Chu came with Li Kuan, Peng Wei, and Liu Zining and waited in the living room. Luo and Tong were accompanied by two shows. There are still some traces of redness, swelling and bruises on the face. After a while, Han Jin came out of the house, his face was calm, he bowed, and said, "Your Highness..."

Li Kuan wanted to speak, but the King of Chu waved his hand to stop him, and said softly: "Mr. Han, I'll come to see you." Jia Huan was so arrogant that he maliciously beat Mr. Han. This king will surely want him to look good in the future. ”

Han Jin has not seen any guests these days. When he came today, of course, he wanted to win over people's hearts and show his attitude. As for the deliberations, on the contrary, they are secondary. His advantage is great. Even if you don't hold Jia Huan, what?

Han Jin felt a little better in his heart, and said, "Your Highness Xie." As long as Your Highness ascends to the throne of the Great Treasure, I will be satisfied. Being beaten is nothing. Jia Huan was angry, just to show that I poked him in the sore spot. ”

"Hmm." King Chu nodded.

Originally, they were going to make a difficulty, but Li Kuan and Peng Wei, who were looking for faults, saw that Han Jin was so calm and quite a celebrity, and they had to admire it in their hearts. If they were replaced, they would definitely not be able to do it.

At this time, a eunuch outside hurriedly came in. Holding a stack of newspapers in his hand, his face was anxious, and he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, it's not a good thing!" ”

Ning Han, the king of Chu, was 23 years old at the time, dressed in a white shirt, with a slender posture and polite manners. Handsome in appearance. At this moment, he frowned dissatisfiedly and reprimanded: "What's the big deal?" Fuss. Take it. He reached for a newspaper. Immediately, the expression on his face became very exciting.

There are many newspapers. Li Kuan, Peng Wei, Liu Zining, Han Jin, Luo, and Tong went to the newspaper respectively. After a few seconds, the living room fell silent.

Led by the Beijing Daily, a total of more than a dozen newspapers in Beijing published a signed article by Jia Huan. The article provides a detailed introduction to Han Jin's origins, including a series of his ungrateful articles. To put it simply, it was Jia Huan who posted an article to black Han Xiucai.

Tong Zhengyan's angry eyes were on fire, and he scolded: "Bastard! Here we go again. As he spoke, he asked the King of Chu for help, "Your Highness, let's write an article to refute him." After saying that, he felt that something was not quite right, because the people in the living room did not share his hatred.

Li Kuan and Peng Wei both had mocking smiles on their faces. I feel very tired. The two of them admired Han Jin just now. Look...

Just now, Han Jin said that Jia Huan ordered someone to beat him, and he was angry. So, what's going on with this article?

Think about it, after beating Han Xiucai, he posted an article that hacked him, and the effect was greater, or was it simply a gathering newspaper to publish an article that hacked Han Xiucai? Undoubtedly, the former! Beating, is to build momentum for the current article!

In other words, Han Jin was beaten by Jia Huan, and he hadn't judged Jia Huan's intentions yet! I didn't expect Jia Huan to go next! This has to make people doubt his IQ! Isn't it stupid to be beaten?

If it's a normal situation, that's it. It's nothing. However, in the world's top intellectual game, it is related to the net worth, life, and future of countless people. This kind of performance, failing.

Han Jin's face was a little hot, and he slapped him again. He looked embarrassed and could no longer maintain his Baume & Mercier demeanor.

King Chu muttered a little in his heart. He had already heard some rumors that Han Jin's skills were learned from Jia Huan. Now the article in the newspaper also illustrates this. And Han Jin failed when he met Jia Huan. Over and over. This has to give him an extra mind!

King Chu comforted Han Jin for a while and said, "Mr. Han has a good rest for a few days." This king will come to see you tomorrow. ”

Luo and Tong glanced at each other, and their hearts were full of powerlessness. This...

Later, the king of Chu gathered Li Kuan and Peng Wei to discuss in Jingyuan's study: how to deal with Princess Yongchang and what attitude to hold. He still relied on Han Xiucai's intelligence, but at this time, he wanted to hear different voices.

At the end of the discussion, the king of Chu ordered in a dissatisfied tone: "Ask Zhou Shenxing to come to see this king!" "Pravda's editor-in-chief holds the power of newspaper censorship in the world. And the article of Hei Han Jin appeared in the newspaper, which was a dereliction of duty by Zhou Shenxing.

On February 29, the Ministry of Rites will try to release the list. Subsequently, Beijing was full of revelry scholars. In the afternoon, on Xuanwumen Street, several tall and strong scholars came out of the Sanyuan Restaurant, sang long songs, supported each other, and swayed. In a tavern not far away, a gentleman in a green shirt was crying at the desk and drinking wildly. Three years and three years, when will the three years be off? Some people are proud, and some people are disappointed. More than 3,000 scholars participated in the examination, and 200 people were admitted. Cruel, but that's what science is!

In the evening, there was a group of Jiangnan scholars gathering in the Yunbin Restaurant on Qipan Street. Officials from Jiangnan also attended. The scene was jubilant. Stretching the scroll further to the east, in the Jiaofang Division, where the singing was loud, more than a dozen scholars drank bitterly, laughed with the beauties around them, and spoke Beijing dialect with various dialects.

To the south of the Division, in a hotel in the east of the city, there were scholars who were taking the exams. In different rooms, several scholars silently packed their luggage and prepared to leave the Jingshi. Return home. Perhaps, hometown is the destination of the soul.

Life is full of joy and see all the flowers in the capital. The field was frustrated and forgot about the wine in the bottle. Jingshi Fenghua is shown to the world's readers, making them laugh, making them cry, making them proud, and making them confused!

Triennial.

The temple examination is scheduled for March 14.

At the beginning of March, in addition to the examination and the imperial examination, there were other focal points in the capital. One could even say that the focus is more important. The article in the Beijing Daily made Jia Huan and Han Jin's grievances and grievances in the past eight years published in front of the public. The momentum of public opinion is one-sided. Things are moving forward.

The case of Princess Yongchang's stolen Jade Guanyin exposed her uninhibited private life to everyone. In the newspaper, there is not much news about maliciously slandering Princess Yongchang. Pravda's editor-in-chief, Zhou Shenxing, is not stupid. In the case that the Son of Heaven has not yet expressed his position, he will not allow public opinion to mess around. Moreover, Han Jin sent someone to greet him.

However, the three hundred stories that Princess Yongchang and Yan Zhukuai, her nephew Ning Fu had to tell were circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital, in the mansions of various magnates and officials. Peachy news, born with its own traffic. Spread fast.

At the beginning of March, Princess Yongchang beat Yan Zhu to death and sent him to the Shuntian Mansion. Ning Fu no longer went to Princess Yongchang's mansion outside the West City. Princess Yongchang was in the house, crying bitterly and asking Yongchang Ma Lin Chengkai to forgive her. I hope he has a voice. Things are moving forward slowly.

The major forces in the court are waiting for the attitude of the Son of Heaven. However, in the eyes of a discerning person, these two events are not necessarily isolated. Rather, they should be interrelated.

During the long night, under the formal cover of night, some officials in Beijing began to move around and visit. In the study, people are speechless. On the street, the people in the sedan chair, I don't know who it is? Communication, tandem, discussion.

The seemingly calm court is brewing an unimaginable and violent turmoil. The dark night, which covers the hunting grounds that seem to be chaotic, and the huge energy, perhaps tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, erupts and causes monstrous waves!

…

…

March 10th, night, windless.

In the center of the morning glow of the West Garden, a frightened scream pierced the silence of the night. Xu Yan, the chief eunuch who was waiting outside, could hear the voice of the green beauty and rushed in. In the glass house, Yongzhi Tianzi was in a coma on the exquisite, spacious, and bright yellow dragon bed, and he didn't know who was going to do it.

"Quick, pass on the imperial doctor!"
