The 68th dragon scale (8)

People all over the world say that women are vain. In fact, men are also. For example, in Cen's government, which has not produced any talents for decades, almost all the children of the right age in the family are sent to study and follow the path of Queen Cen, otherwise they can't step in the gate of the Imperial College with their qualifications! Rao is so. Talent is there. Resources can be given, but who can give brains?

Therefore, after many years of examination, none of them has achieved success. It is even difficult to graduate from the Imperial College. Queen Cen's nephew, who has studied in the Imperial College for more than ten years, has achieved nothing. Finally, I didn't read it, married and had children, and tried to send it in when my son was about the same age.

I know what my level is. The cen family has never had a few people who can read. To be honest, the smartest one is the empress Cen who entered the palace. She is really a talented woman who is proficient in poetry, song, Fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Duke Cen always doubts whether the talent of the whole family in reading is born in the most noble daughter in the world. His favorite young son is cenqi, This year is exactly twenty-seven. Before that, he thought that he would tell him a good marriage when the young son got his fame in the exam. Who knows that he failed to pass the exam for several rounds, so he had to marry his wife first. If he failed in the exam this autumn, he would lose his face!

CEN Qi is the favorite son of Duke Cen. Without him, who calls this son the son of his favorite concubine? Of course, he also likes the two legitimate sons born to his old wife, but after all, he is no better than Cen Qi who was born good-looking, and Cen Qi has a sweeter mouth, which makes Duke Cen happy. He is a talented son anyway. I can't say their hope for the future of Duke Cen's government, Rely on this young son.

Therefore, in Cen Qi's education, CEN Guogong really tried his best.

He didn't know that Cen Qi was just an embroidered pillow. It seemed to be incomparable, but it was full of straw inside. Except that this face can deceive people, he had a virtue with other children and grandchildren of Cen family. He couldn't do anything. Lecherous came first.

CEN Qi got married at 16 and now has nine concubines at 27. This is not counting the servant girls around him. All the pretty servant girls in the house can't escape his clutches. Even when he went to the Imperial College to study, he dared to change the schoolboy into a concubine disguised as a man!

Who calls him the heart of the old man? No matter what trouble he causes, the old man will settle it for him.

However, in recent years, the old man has gradually begun to doubt his "talent". If he really has talent, how can he fail in repeated tests? Here's no longer say a, but there is no his name at the end of the third!

Maybe Cen Qi was really smart when he was young, but he ate, drank and indulged in women all day. He didn't even want to spend a trace of his mind on reading. If he could pass the exam, he would be a ghost.

When Duke Cen got older, his ears became softer and softer. He spoiled his concubine for most of his life and blew the pillow wind in his ears, so he dared to go out.

He felt that his son was not stupid and incompetent, but he didn't adapt to such rigid examination. Anyway, he had contacts. It's better to choose a talented poor man to take the place of each other, so that he can have light on his face and won't become a laughing stock. After all, if he fails in the exam again, his old face will have no place to put it away!

Where did Duke Cen get such courage? It was not given by Queen Cen, but instigated by my concubine!

He subconsciously felt that no matter what big mistake he made, the daughter in the palace would help solve it. Besides, it was just a fame. If it was a big deal, he would give some silver compensation. Why think so much?

He quickly arranged the process and just waited for the list to be released, but what he didn't expect was that he wanted to fool the poor family. At most, he didn't win, and the horizontal and vertical papers won't be published. Who knows whether he can win or not? God knows this and no one else knows it, but God may have opened his eyes. Originally, Duke Cen felt that it didn't need to be too good to choose anything that could be used, so as not to be seen. As soon as the list was released, the boys who went to see the list rushed back excitedly, and the voice was so loud that people all over the world wanted to hear: "Grandpa! Grandpa! It's the top of the list! The third master is at the top of the list! "

The old lady Cen and the second room of the big room were stunned. To tell the truth, they don't know what virtue the third room has? None of the three sons of the old Duke has achieved success! CEN Qi 14 was sent to the Imperial College. After more than ten years of study, he ended up in the exam several times. He didn't get excited at all. As a result, he suddenly became a blockbuster and said that he was at the top of the list?

What do you think? How impossible!

Naturally, the old lady doesn't believe it. Don't say she doesn't believe it, neither does the big room and the second room, but it's a good thing after all. You can't say it in front of the people who come to report the good news. As soon as the people leave, the old lady grabbed Duke Cen and asked, "Grandpa, what's going on? How did the third get the top of the list? "

CEN Guogong was also shocked. He had a bad heart. When he arranged it, he told him to choose a similar paper, so as not to attract attention. It can also be said that it was the result of Cen Qi's hard study for many years, but the top of the list... It's too exaggerated. Let him be Cen Qi's father, and he has a kind of fan trust in this son for many years. I know it's absolutely Absolutely impossible! CEN Qi can't do that!

Three days later, it will be the imperial examination. As the top of the list, the sage and the crown prince will certainly take extra care of him. He doesn't know what virtue his son has? That is to say, I want to plan for my son. After all, when I wait a hundred years, the government must be inherited by my legitimate son. My young son will have a hard time at that time, but Duke Cen can't think of it... It's agreed to choose a similar paper, but he chose the best one. Isn't this nonsense?!

CEN Qi didn't think so much. She just felt that her own father was really strong! Say let him pass the exam, let him pass the exam! It's windy to walk and go out to show off!

According to the rules, the first ten papers ordered by the reading officers were to be reviewed by the saints. The emperor Zhenzong personally ordered the top three. As soon as the papers were unpacked, the first one was cenqi from the Duke of Cen?

The emperor Zhenzong was surprised. Linglong heard about the third uncle. He was a gold and jade. Like the other two rooms of Cen's government, he didn't have any skills and didn't make progress, but he was greedy for money and lust. He did all kinds of evil with the favor of Cen.

The Zhenzong emperor immediately noticed that there was something wrong. When Linglong returned to the East Palace in the evening, tanrong was fidgeting. When he saw him, he looked forward to love: "hall, your highness? Qiuwei publishes... But is there something strange? "

Linglong looked at the way she wanted to say and didn't know how to say it. She thought it was a good cover up. In fact, there were loopholes from head to toe. She couldn't help laughing: "what are you talking about, I don't understand."

Hi, tanrong is dying of anxiety. This impostor is a certainty. As soon as her highness went to the court today, she contacted her brother at home. When she learned that he did not pass the exam, she knew that although she reminded him implicitly, neither Her Highness nor the sage found anything strange. According to the previous life, the saint will soon find out the problem of impersonation, and the Duke of Cen will send someone to her house to kill her. Although she has repeatedly told her family to pack up and hide overnight, she should be safe for her life, but what about your Highness's reputation?

You should know how many ways Qiuwei is to realize your dreams and aspirations. If Qiuwei is unfair, your achievements can be replaced by impostors. How many readers have been cold in the cold window for more than ten years!

Sandalwood velvet really couldn't help it. She flopped and knelt down to Linglong and knocked several heads: "Your Highness, help!"

She really kowtowed. Linglong felt pain for her. He stretched out his hand and picked up the person: "speak well and don't kowtow without saying a word."

"Your Highness." Tanrong clenched his fist nervously. "My brother also participated in the autumn meeting. He was smart and studious since childhood. This time, I heard that he was very confident and thought his paper must be the first. I didn't believe it. He also told me what he wrote personally. I'm not good at learning. I'll repeat it to your highness. Your highness will listen to it and comment on it, Isn't his talent average? If you really have the ability, how can you fall behind? "

Linglong couldn't help laughing. He really took the change and wanted to hint to his little girl, "tell me."

Tanrong is still playing: "I think my brother is talking big. He has long eyes on his head all day. He is arrogant and looks down on me. He only likes to study recipes. I think he can't pass the exam. He must be too proud on weekdays!"

At this moment, listening to her sister's words, Tan Xiao, the eldest brother of the tan family, who obediently took his parents to hide, sneezed hard for three times, thinking happily whether her sister in the palace was thinking about herself again? In fact, it doesn't matter if you fail in the exam. Just try again in three years. It's just that his sister is a maid in the palace. She won't be released until she is 25 years old. I'm afraid he will become an old girl at that time. He still has to study hard, earn a good future and support his sister in the future.

It was unexpected to kill him. His lovely and considerate sister was madly discrediting him in front of the crown prince he admired very much at this moment.

The elder brother's paper tanrong will never forget. In her previous life, she was so innocent and stupid that she killed the saint... To tell you the truth, she still owes the saint a life. In any case in this life, she will help the crown prince pull out Cen's family and kill queen Cen!

Even at the cost of your own life!

As a result, she finished with enthusiasm, but the crown prince didn't move. Tanrong carefully raised his head: "... Your highness?"

Linglong is watching her smile.

He smiled so red that he always felt that what he thought in his heart was seen through by him, "Your Highness, why don't you speak?"

"Look, you think it's interesting." Linglong replied with a smile, "your brother is not talking big. His paper has something to say. Every word is precious. Although it is inevitable to talk on paper, it is more flexible and true than other answers. It's not a loss to ask him to be the top of the list."

Sandalwood:?

She's trying so hard to discredit her brother, not for your Highness's affirmation!

She had to ask again: "... The list has been released today. Didn't the saint let his highness read the paper just after reading it? How can you say that your highness is the main business of this autumn... "

"What the hell are you trying to say, huh?"

Tanrong was about to stop talking. She was stared at by the eyes like stars in the sky, as if she had no place to hide her soul: "Your Highness, maidservant..."

"How did queen Cen die in her previous life?"

Tanrong took a breath, covered his mouth and stammered: "temple, your highness..."

Her brain was blank. She just remembered to kneel down and kowtow: "maidservant is not a monster! Slaves are just, just -- "

Just what?

She didn't know what to explain. She could only kneel more humbly and submit. Her thinking was completely rigid and forgot everything she wanted to say. If she really wanted to say that she didn't tell the truth to Her Highness from the beginning, would Her Highness still believe in herself?

"I've read some strange novels. There are those who come back from the dead, and those who come back after death. It's not uncommon to go from one world to another. Which kind do you belong to?"

The prince's voice was calm and gentle, which soothed tanrong's pounding heart a little. She blinked and replied: "I found myself back when I was a child after I died... I didn't mean to deceive your highness! It's just that such things are appalling. I'm also worried that they will cause panic. Moreover, I have family. I don't want to be burned as a sneaker... Please be kind to your highness! "

"If I'm not kind, do you think you can live well until now?" Linglong glanced at her, "tell me, why do you hate queen Cen?"

Tanrong pursed her lips and was not sure. Although Her Highness was not close to Queen Cen, it was her Highness's biological mother after all. She truthfully said, can your highness really bear it? Finally, urged by Linglong's eyes, she described all kinds of previous lives in detail.

The reason why the world was in chaos in previous lives was inseparable from Queen Cen. It can even be said that queen Cen was the culprit that led to the displacement of thousands of people.

The guide fire rope is the impostor of the autumn palace.

CEN Guogong wanted to make a future for his young son. Everything was fine. Unexpectedly, there was a problem in the marking process. What he liked was a medium-sized paper. He dropped a cinnabar idea in the upper left corner as a sign for his hands and feet. In this way, the original examinee was not sure whether he could win or not, and his grades were too good to exaggerate. As a result, the bribed official shook his hands, There is also a cinnabar idea on another paper. After the examination paper is reviewed by the examiners, it will be sealed uniformly. You can't see the content of the paper. If you want to steal the day, you can only choose one of two.

Tanxiao, tanrong's brother, has been a famous talent since he studied, but he is not on the list. His own mentality is very good, but the emperor Zhenzong is not a fool! After reading the papers ranked in the top ten by the ministers, he was very fond of the papers at the top of the list. As soon as he unpacked them, he found that it was cenqi from the Duke of Cen state, and the Zhenzong emperor was stunned at that time.

How can one deceive a group of ministers and the real emperor when one has goods in his belly?

CEN Qi's performance in the palace examination can not be described by a simple word. Let alone the real emperor, even fools can see that there are ghosts here! Emperor Zhenzong immediately ordered a thorough investigation. He not only caught the bribed officials, but also found them in the Duke of Cen state!

As for the request put forward by Empress Cen, if it is not too much, the Zhenzong emperor will agree. He loved her so much that even if the love was not returned, he never took it back and never changed his heart. However, in national affairs, he was never biased. In the past, he made some small mistakes. In the face of empress Cen, the Zhenzong emperor was willing to turn a blind eye, but if this impostor didn't end, what would he do as the emperor?

Therefore, in the case of cenqi, the attitude of the Zhenzong emperor was very tough.

Duke Cen had no choice. Seeing his son was sent to prison, he had to come to ask empress Cen again and again. Although empress Cen didn't like this common brother, she was entrusted by her father after all. Besides, the Zhenzong emperor was unreasonable. She not only refused to release cenqi, but also punished him together with Duke Cen. How old is her father? Can you hold it?

But this time the real emperor refused to listen to her for the first time. Empress Cen was very angry. Seeing that her old father was going to jail, she spoke softly to the real emperor and coaxed him to stay in his bedroom. The next day, the real emperor was "ill".

The "disease" was so fierce that the Duke of Cen escaped. The tanrong family were still waiting for the sage to make decisions for themselves. As a result, they came to the government to arrest people and said that Tanxiao had committed a law, but if they asked what law they had committed, they refused to answer. Tanxiao didn't come back after she was taken away. Her parents died. Tanrong had to sue the emperor. As a result, the emperor Zhenzong fell ill. Her behavior undoubtedly angered queen Cen.

But at this time, the elder brother of the cen family, that is, the queen Cen, saw her. The 15-year-old tanrong looked like an immortal. The lecherous Cen family uncle moved his mind and asked him to tie her back to the cen government.

Tanrong has a strong temper, and grandma CEN is jealous. Tanrong has suffered all the sins and refused to give in in the Duke of Cen. She still has hope in her heart. Once the saint gets well, she will not ignore it.

Just as she was struggling to support, the news of the national funeral came. It turned out that the saint not only didn't get well, but died!

The cen family's uncle was drunk again to torture her. Tanrong learned from his vagueness that the outside world had changed. She had to swallow her anger. She changed her old temper and flattered her little, which fascinated the cen family's uncle. The cen family's uncle is the eldest son. When the cen family's Duke is a hundred years old, he will be the next Cen Duke. While the cen queen has no time to take care of the cen Duke, Sandalwood velvet stirred it upside down!

She thought carefully and ruthlessly. With the hatred of her family, she vowed to pay with blood!

Empress Cen was in a hurry and killed the Zhenzong emperor. She was in a mess. At first, she didn't want to do so. Who told the Zhenzong emperor not to allow her to let Cen's government go? But when she really started, she suddenly had a bold idea in her heart

When the saints died, the princes returned to Beijing one after another. Empress Cen made the decision to welcome the little prince of the prince's house as the new emperor, but she was really not a material for playing politics. Although the real emperor died, there were still many unyielding loyal officials in the court. They opposed empress Cen's practice one after another. It is reasonable to say that if the real emperor died, if you want to choose the new emperor, you should also be prince Zhuang, a mother compatriot of the real emperor, Why did queen Cen decide to choose the little prince of Prince Gong's house?

Queen Cen's attitude is outrageous. For her, she has no other ability. Anyway, if she doesn't listen to her, she will kill everything!

Those ministers who only know how to talk and fight first cut off their heads and set an example to others to see who dares to talk nonsense! Question her decision!

But the more bloody she was, the more dissatisfied the ministers were. They were already very disgusted with the queen. The saint just died and didn't leave a legacy. Why listen to Queen Cen?

I chose the prince of Prince Gong's residence. Are the other princes not happy?

At this time, the murder case of the Duke of Cen made empress Cen black in front of her eyes!

Her parents and brothers are all dead!

Tanrong killed it himself.

She fed the tiger with her body and won the trust of the uncle of the cen family. She thought that the beauty finally knew how powerful she was. But she didn't know that tanrong didn't think it was enough to kill him. Her brother's parents had three lives and wanted the lives of the cen family!

The cen family's elder uncle is not as fierce as the dragon and tiger when he was young. Tanrong lured him to find some medicine to revive his strength, and deliberately asked for some weak Qi medicine. Mei said its name is to serve him. CEN family uncle enjoyed the service of the beauty several times. The more he recalled her taste of preferring to die rather than follow, the more he used. Sandalwood velvet was like this. He endured humiliation bit by bit. Finally, he successfully drugged the cen family at the family banquet, and then killed all Cen family members by himself.

None of them survived.

After hearing the bad news, Queen Cen fainted. When she woke up, she ordered someone to arrest tanrong. Tanrong didn't escape. She was brought to Queen Cen. Queen Cen wanted to eat her meat and sleep on her skin. Tanrong deliberately said something about how to abuse and kill Cen's family to stimulate queen Cen to come and slap her in the face.

Sooner or later, she rushed forward, gentle and not struggling, and really knocked away the two mammies who held her down. Then she bit queen Cen's ear and tore off one!

Tanrong is very proud. She knew she had to die hard. She is not afraid of cutting thousands of bones and ashes, but she will never let queen Cen feel better. When she was in the Duke of Cen, she deliberately cultivated her confidants. Once she dies, the capital will publicize the rumor that the real Emperor was killed by Queen Cen, and before that, she will destroy the woman's face!

Empress Cen had never suffered such a loss in her life. She pointed to tanrong and shouted, "kill her for the palace! Kill her! "

Sandalwood velvet stared at Queen Cen until it was beaten into meat mud.

She couldn't kill the woman, but she had poison in her mouth before biting off queen Cen's ear. Even if it didn't kill queen Cen, it would make her suffer.

Sure enough, empress Cen lost an ear, and the new emperor was a guy who couldn't stand four or six. The hall was in chaos, and the neighbors were eager to come and share the big cake. Several princes fought for the throne!

Under the domestic and foreign troubles, the people are living in poverty, and the troubled times have gradually begun.

This is all the memory of sandalwood.

Saying that all this is due to Queen CEN is not an injustice to her.

Linglong heard that empress Cen was cruel and killed the real emperor. Her eyes became cold and tanrong was confused. When she was a child, she saw the real emperor on the wonton stall at home. Because she had seen the portrait of a saint in her previous life, she recognized it at a glance. The only thing that surprised her was that the saint also held a child in his arms.

That's why she entered the palace. She wanted to take this opportunity to calculate the life of empress Cen.

If there is any difference between the past and this life, it is your Highness the prince.

In previous lives, saints had no children at their knees, which caused disputes between princes.
