The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Zhongshun Wangfu.

Zhao Lei was drinking wine in the room and humming a song.

He was very happy to be able to ruin Jia Jue's township examination. This wait would take three years, and if he did anything else next year, it would be another three years.

How many three years can there be in life?
When he thought of Jia Jue's appearance like a mourning concubine, he felt heartily happy.

Just when he was complacent, a servant came to report: "Prince, the imperial decree has come from the palace, and the lord asked you to go to the front hall to receive the decree."

Holy decree?

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, what is the imperial edict at this time?Could it be that the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be rewarded?

With doubts, he came to the front hall, but saw Zhao Ying talking to Liu Tian, ​​and when he saw him appear, he glanced at him, his eyes full of anger and annoyance.

Zhao Lei's heart thumped, and suddenly he had a bad premonition.

"The 'Prince' is here, let's take the decree." Liu Tian said in a high-pitched voice when he saw him.

Zhao Lei suddenly felt that his "Sir" had an inexplicable meaning.

Confused and puzzled, he knelt down to accept the order.

Liu Tian glanced at him, unfolded the imperial decree, and said:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's decree said: I have Zhao Lei, the son of the loyal and obedient prince, who does not cultivate morality and does not respect the king's laws. After investigation, there are many acts of treason and crime. The prince violated the law and the common people. It will never be tolerated. Now he has seized the position of the heir, demoted to a commoner, moved to Lingnan, and will not be allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of his life. I hope that King Zhongshun will choose another worthy and re-establish the heir.”

a bolt from the blue!

Liu Tian's words resounded like thunder in Zhao Lei's ears, shocking him to the core, and his heart and gallbladder were torn apart.

He never thought that this sudden imperial decree was actually for the purpose of demoting him to a commoner and sending him to Lingnan.

He finally knew why Liu Tian called him "Prince" so harshly. It turned out that he was no longer the prince!
But why?
Why did Zhao Qi do this?

Where did he offend him!

In his sluggishness, Liu Tian glanced at him and left the imperial edict.

But after he left, Zhao Ying rushed over in a furious rage, and slapped his face with a slap in the face.

Snapped!
"Evil son!" Zhao Ying scolded fiercely.

Zhao Lei covered his face and cried, "Father, I have never broken the law!"

"How dare you deny it!" Zhao Ying slapped him in the face with another backhand.

"Father, I don't know!" Zhao Lei cried out, bleeding from the corner of the fan's mouth.

"You don't know? Come and see!" Zhao Ying angrily threw a document to him.

Zhao Lei picked up the document, but found that it was a case statement from Jin Yiwei, which detailed what Ding Lin did.

At the same time, there are also the testimony of the restaurant's second and the shopkeeper, as well as the testimony of the two assassins.

He bribed the small officials, secretly exchanged Jia Jue's test papers, and prepared to destroy the small officials' mouths.

Looking at the document, Zhao Lei's face was full of disbelief. He never thought that his own affairs would be found out overnight, but he was still complacent and thought it was seamless.

Snapped!
"Bastard! What else do you have to say!" Zhao Ying was furious when he saw his silly appearance, and slapped him in the face again.

Zhao Lei was slapped to the ground, his hair was messed up, and his cheeks were swollen, he cried, "Father, the child is just angry, that Jia Jue doesn't take the palace in his eyes at all, and has been against the father again and again! "

"Nie Barrier! Didn't I warn you that you don't have to act rashly for the time being, don't you have to provoke that Jia Jue?" Zhao Ying said angrily, "But you are not only provoked, but your hands and feet are so unclean! Who are you to blame? Fraud is a serious crime, if he didn't want to make a big deal out of the royal face, or I would be implicated by your evil obstacle!"

Zhao Lei burst into tears: "The child knows what's wrong! Father! Please save the child! The child can't go to Lingnan!"

To relocate to Lingnan means to go to Lingnan.

At this time, Lingnan was not a good place. More importantly, from the capital to Lingnan, it was thousands of miles away, and it was still walking there. Along the way, the wind was blowing, the sun was blowing, the snow was raining, and there were snakes, worms, mice, and ants. It is unknown whether a strong person can survive to any place, let alone a pampered, tender-skinned son like Zhao Lei.

Zhao Ying walked a few steps in place, and finally said: "You will stay in your room for the past few days, and you don't have to go anywhere. Everything will be discussed after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhao Lei nodded hurriedly, then he hesitated for a while, and then asked:
"Then Jia Jue, what should I do?"

A flash of coldness flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes: "Don't worry, he, and even the entire Jia family, will die after the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

……

Gongyuan back hall.

Facing the thick answer sheet, several scholars from the Hanlin Academy showed a wry smile.

Exams are torture for the candidates, but for them, the examiners, why not?
They need to review these thousands of answer sheets within five days, and then select 50 of them with the best results, and rank these [-] people to determine the top three.

Only after completing these tasks can they get out of the Gongyuan, and during the grading period, they cannot leave the Gongyuan, or even this room.

"When you are grading papers, you may pay attention to those who are outstanding in calligraphy." A Hanlin scholar who was about fifty years old suddenly said.

The rest of the people laughed when they heard the words: "Could it be that Jia Jue said what Shijian said?"

"Exactly." The Hanlin scholar nodded, "I am the one who reviewed the volume of his legacy. This man has great talent."

Jia Jue's examination papers were reviewed by him, so he clearly knew what kind of talent Jia Jue had.

Everyone nodded one after another. They all heard the news about Jia Jue's recent movement in the Guozijian, so when grading the papers, they paid special attention to good calligraphy.

However, when they reviewed all the papers, they did not find any papers that had excellent calligraphy and could answer well.

The Hanlin who proposed earlier was full of hesitation, and he was confused. Why didn't he find Jia Jue's paper?

It shouldn't be!

"Everyone, let's start the selection." Someone suggested.

"Wait a minute, check again." That Hanlin said quickly.

If the selection starts, it means that Jia Jue was eliminated in the first round.

Everyone glanced at him, and one sighed: "Shijian, I know you value Jia Jue, but I have already re-examined it several times."

"Shijian" glanced at everyone, and finally sighed: "Forget it, let's get started."

"Wait a minute!
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Everyone hurriedly looked at the door, but the next moment, the door was pushed open, and a figure in a bullfighting suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist walked in.

When everyone saw this person, their eyes shrank, but they recognized the person:
Jinyiwei's commander, Ji Zhong.

Ji Zhong held a scroll in his hand and said to the crowd, "Ding Lin, an academic and political official, cheated for his own sake and kept the answer sheets of candidates Jia Jue privately, which has been rectified. Jia Jue's answer sheets are here.

"Shijian" was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly took the scroll from Ji Zhong's hand and unfolded it, but the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dance gave him a huge sense of shock.

He exclaimed with joy on his face: "It really is Jia Jue's handwriting, the world's students, only his words have such momentum!"

The other Hanlins came together and exclaimed, and when they saw Jia Jue's answer sheet, they exclaimed and praised.

Ji Zhong smiled and turned around when he saw this:

It appears that the overall situation is set.
