Chapter 349 The whole world is like this
"Your Majesty, this servant knows a little bit about this person," Sanshui said.
"Oh?" Zhao Xing was surprised when he heard this: "Is this person very famous?"
Generally, when the imperial examination is approaching, various gambling shops in Bianjing will also open handicap for people to bet on who can pass the exam. Before the imperial examination, they will also open handicap to bet on the second and top candidates.
The reason why I don’t bet on the winner is because the winner depends on looks.
Tanhualang may not be the third best among all students in terms of literary talent, but he is definitely one of the most handsome in terms of appearance.
The reason why it is one of them, not the most handsome one, is because appearance and literary talent are both reference factors.
As a result, the range is too small, and those gambling houses are not stupid, so they will naturally not open such a handicap.
In addition, a large number of scholars gathered in Bianjing and participated in various activities to become famous.
Including sending some of his articles to some famous people in Bianjing for reading. Once they are praised, they will soon become famous in Bianjing.
The Su family, father and son, knew this very well back then.
When the Su family father and son came to Bianjing to take part in the imperial examination, Su Xun took his two sons and Wen Wen to visit Xuexi Hai.
Xueshi Hai liked Su Shi's articles very much and praised his talents many times in front of outsiders.
Su Shi soon became famous in Bianjing, and the articles he wrote were sought after by countless literati and ladies, which meant that Luoyang paper was expensive.
Even the officials heard of Su Shi's name before the imperial examination began.
However, Zhao Xing was busy with things and did not pay attention to the inquiries, so he did not know much about the already famous students in this imperial examination.
"This person is indeed very famous. He is the eldest grandson of old Taifu Wei. There were no rumors that this person was going to take part in the imperial examination. It was not until the imperial examination was approaching that this person applied for it," Sanshui said.
"Old Master Wei?"
"It turns out that he is the eldest grandson of the former Minister of Rites. No wonder he has such literary talent."
There was no San Gong in the Song Dynasty, but after the Six Ministers and Xian Gong became official or died, they would be given the virtual title of San Gong.
For example, Mrs. Wang's father, Mrs. Wang, was posthumously granted the title.
Therefore, there is no shortage of great masters and masters.
"Okay, take these away." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
These people are pretty good, let’s wait and see after the palace exam.
"Yes!" Sanshui responded and retreated.
"I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a rest. If there's nothing important, don't disturb me." Zhao Xing stood up and stretched.
"My slave knows." Sanshui responded.
…………
Zhao Xing came to the inner room and said to the big and small pairs: "Please press it for me."
"Yes!"
The older pair and the younger pairs responded and stepped forward to help Zhao Xing change his clothes.
Zhao Xing took off his coat, leaving his inner coat on, and got on the bed.
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang undressed and dressed in obscene clothes, got on the bed, and each of them held Zhao Xing down.
Although they are dancing girls, they are specially trained to please men.
Not only can she dance, but she has also learned various skills in serving people.
The massage technique was very skillful, and Zhao Xing fell asleep comfortably after being pressed by them for a while.
After sleeping for more than an hour, Zhao Xing woke up and felt comfortable all over.
The big couple waiting inside the house heard the noise and quickly opened the bed curtains.
"My craftsmanship has improved again. I feel so comfortable after being put to sleep by you."
Zhao Xing sat up and leaned on the bed, smiled and praised.
"As long as your Majesty likes it. Eunuch Sanshui has been waiting outside for a while. It seems he has something to report." Dashuang said.
"Don't worry, I'm a little thirsty." Zhao Xing said.
If Sanshui had something urgent, he would definitely call him. Since he was waiting, it wasn't an emergency.
"Slave, please go make tea for Your Majesty." Da Shuang responded and left. Zhao Xing looked at Xiao Shuang on the side and said with a smile: "You guys pressed me very comfortably just now, I want to reward you."
……
Da Shuang walked around the screen with a tea cup and was slightly startled when he saw that his sister was not there.
After walking in, I found my sister on the bed.
"Your Majesty, here comes the tea."
"Yes!"
Zhao Xing drank tea with a look of enjoyment on his face,
After about a stick of incense, my body trembled slightly and it took a while to calm down.
"Wait for me to get up."
…………
Squeak~
The door opened and Zhao Xing walked out refreshed.
"Your Majesty!"
Sanshui, who was waiting at the door, quickly saluted and said: "The Concubine sent someone to deliver a letter."
Zhao Xing took the letter, walked out, sat down on the dragon chair in the main hall, opened the letter and read it.
Not surprisingly, the mother-in-law made a subtle suggestion in the letter, asking Zhao Xing to find a way to release Zhu Shiquan as soon as possible.
Putting down the letter, Zhao Xing rubbed his head with a headache.
Yan Kuan also reported Zhu Shiquan's case to him. The evidence was sufficient, so he could only delay it as long as possible.
I don't know how much of this evidence was sent out intentionally, and it's difficult for Zhao Xing to handle it.
He used to be selfless and selfless. Although he offended civil officials, he was highly praised by the people.
If he shows favoritism to his relatives, spreading the word will have some impact on his reputation.
This is secondly. The most important thing is that the officials in the DPRK and China will not agree.
Minglan's idea inspired him before, but before he could take action, the Jiangzhou flood happened.
Now that it has taken some time, it is not that it cannot be used.
But now there is turmoil in Hehuang. Once there is internal turmoil, it may affect the subsequent dispatch of troops to Hehuang.
"Tell Yan Kuan to delay as much as possible." Zhao Xing said.
Anyway, the mother-in-law is not in Bianjing, so she can only write letters.
However, it is not long before my father goes to Luoyang. It is already October, and it might snow in a few months.
Maybe he will come back soon.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing wrote a letter to his father, asking when he would return to Bianjing.
…………
Suburbs of Luoyang
Under the protection of a group of forbidden troops, the Emperor and the Queen were walking on the ridge of the fields, looking at the wheat fields that had just sprouted in the land, and sighed: "I never thought that the people were working so hard."
During this time, he was in Luoyang. Not only did he look around at the situation in Luoyang City, he would also occasionally go out of the city to see how the people were farming.
He had seen the people harvest wheat, plow the fields, and sow seeds.
Although he is not the kind of emperor who is nothing but meat, he has lived in the palace for a long time and has not witnessed the lives of the people with his own eyes.
In the past, I only heard about the suffering of the people, but I did not have a very intuitive feeling about how suffering the people were.
"Your Majesty, this is the case for all the people in the world. I saw those people smiling when they were farming, and they were in good spirits. It can be seen that life has expectations and is not that hard. These are all your Majesty's contribution." Empress Dowager Cao said with a smile. .
"This is not my fault."
The Supreme Emperor shook his head slightly when he heard this: "When the people were harvesting, because of the hot weather, I had no one to follow me. I asked the people at that time, and they said that thanks to the previous imperial court sending people to inspect the land, they rented the land at a low price. Otherwise, they can only be the tenants of the landlords and gentry, and even have food and clothing all year round. ”
"Now that they have rented land from the government, after excluding the rent and food and drink, they can still have some surplus."
"Aren't these also the contributions of Your Majesty?" Queen Cao said.
