Chapter 1170 The Emperor's Malice and Qingwen's Thoughts

Emperor Longqing would never have thought of this.

If he just sent Xia Shouzhong out of the palace and summoned Jia Zheng into the palace, it would bring a devastating disaster to the Daqing Dynasty.

This can only be a sigh, things are unpredictable.

However, if Emperor Longqing really wanted to complain, he could only blame himself for not being the strongest person in the world.

After all, the rules of the world have always been made by the strong.

One quarter after thou shalt see the sun.

Shan Daliang, the chief steward who followed Jia Zheng into the palace, hurriedly sent someone to report.

The eldest daughter Jia Yuanchun, who had been in the palace for several years, was favored by Emperor Longqing and was promoted to the Minister of Fengzao Palace and was canonized as the virtuous concubine.

When the good news came, everyone in the Rong and Ning mansions, who had been worried for most of the day, suddenly turned their worries into joy and raised their glasses to celebrate.

The Xue family, who were originally packing their luggage in Lixiang Garden, immediately put their luggage back and returned to Lady Jia's backyard to congratulate Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang.

Fengzao Palace was originally the residence of the Queen.

After the Queen's death, Jia Yuanchun became the Minister of Fengzao Palace, and became the de facto master of the harem.

However, everyone was so busy being happy that they didn’t notice that there were many strange and bizarre things going on in this matter.

In the emperor's harem, apart from the empress who is the mother of the country, the four most honorable concubines are Gui, Shu, Xian and De.

Although there is no queen in the emperor's harem today, the positions of the four concubines are still full, namely Concubine Wu, Concubine Zhang, Concubine Liu, and Concubine Tang.

Now Emperor Longqing has canonized Jia Yuanchun as Consort Xiande. It seems that she is both virtuous and virtuous, and seems to surpass the other four concubines, but it seems a bit out of place.

Su Mingzhe was familiar with the plot and frowned deeply at this moment:

"It seems that this dog emperor really wants to deal with the Jia family!"

The Jia family was unaware of this and were still immersed in fantasies of a bright future.

Su Mingzhe's maids all changed their words towards Su Mingzhe and called him "Uncle of the King".

At this time, Jia Lian did not forget to convey the good news to the elders in the Jia family.

Before the sun set, the news that Jia Yuanchun became the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace and was promoted to Consort Xian De was known to all civil and military officials, as well as the four kings and eight dukes and other nobles.

Although people could not guess why Emperor Longqing suddenly repaired his relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, they could guess that the Rongguo Mansion, which had been in decline, would return to the ranks of Daqing's top dignitaries.

August 20th.

Great court meeting.

Jia Zheng, who had been a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works for many years, was suddenly promoted to the position of director of the Ministry of Rites.

This is a fifth-rank official in Beijing, the kind that can attend court.

Everyone knows that this is 'a father's status depends on his daughter'.

As a scholar, Jia Zheng did not like this kind of promotion at first. However, as the saying goes, "thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor."

Since he had received the promotion appointment, he had no choice but to go to the Imperial Study in Daming Palace to express his gratitude.

After Emperor Longqing met with Jia Zheng, he showed favor again and allowed Jia's relatives to enter the palace to reunite with Jia Yuanchun.

For Jia Zheng and the Jia family, this is true grace.

Day two.

Four ladies of the Jia family, Lady Jia, Madam Xing, Madam Wang, and Madam You, entered the palace in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Su Mingzhe, Jia Lian and other five people, as people with official positions and honors in the Jia family, accompanied him into the palace.

After entering the palace, the four female relatives went into Fengzao Palace to talk to Jia Yuanchun.

All the men were arranged to kowtow and pay their respects outside the palace and were not even allowed to enter the palace gate.

Seeing how unkind the emperor was, Su Mingzhe became more and more certain that Emperor Longqing wanted to deal with the Rong and Ning mansions.

The audience is over.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Su Mingzhe immediately called Qingwen and asked her to help him make preparations.

When Qingwen heard this, she immediately became unhappy:

"Why are you rebelling again?" She pulled Su Mingzhe across to a new dimension just because she wanted the man to spend more time with her.

As a result, after arriving at this plane, not only did the man find so many women, but now he is busy rebelling. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for me to travel through time?
"Is it okay not to rebel?"

Su Mingzhe spread his hands, explained the current situation of the Rongning and Ning mansions, and asked directly:
"Now my eldest sister has been named Consort Xian De. According to the plot of A Dream of Red Mansions, it has only been a few years since the Rong and Ning mansions were confiscated. You can't let me watch the Rong and Ning mansions fall into decline, right?"

"Withering and flourishing is the truth of the world! Life and death, isn't that normal?"

Qingwen was born a bird, and she had no idea what family affection was. At this moment, she said nonchalantly:

"Why do you insist on rebelling so hard? Anyway, isn't it enough for you to not die?"

Su Mingzhe listened to Qingwen's cold-blooded words and finally understood why Ya betrayed Chi You:

"According to you, if life and death are the norm in the world, then why don't the gods and Buddhas in heaven die? Why do they pursue immortality?"

"How can they be the same? One is a deity, the other is an ordinary person, they can't be compared together!"

Qingwen knew that she was tongue-tied and would definitely not be able to win an argument with a man, so she could only throw in the towel and say:

"Anyway, I won't help you. This Golden Dragon of the Daqing Dynasty looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. If I help you, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit that I have cultivated with great difficulty will definitely fall! Who can I go to for justice then?"

Is this the real reason?
Seeing that Qingwen had spoken her true feelings, Su Mingzhe no longer forced her to do anything.

After all, their relationship is just that of a couple, not even husband and wife.

However, after a moment of silence, Su Mingzhe retreated to the next best option and said:

"Qingwen, I don't want you to help me rebel, but can you stay in Rongguo Mansion and help me protect my family's safety?"

"All right!"

Qingwen is not a heartless person. She doesn't want to fall out with a man if she can help it.

In order to ease the emotions of both parties, Qingwen snuggled in the man's arms and asked:
"Have you ever thought about how to rebel? You should have seen that Daqing is in the prime of its national fortune, and the two golden dragons of luck are rising like the sun. If you force your move, you will definitely be attacked back!"

"Don't worry, I know what to do!"

Su Mingzhe had already studied the methods of rebellion.

There are only two ways.

First, without changing the national destiny of Daqing, he directly used the method in the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" dimension to impersonate the emperor.

In this way, we can avoid the backlash of national destiny.

The second is to learn from Nuwa, first make the Emperor of Daqing lose his virtue, and when the fortune of Daqing has been almost ruined by the Emperor, then she will take action to restore the country.

Seeing that the man was already prepared, Qingwen could only let it go.

end of August.

Su Mingzhe reported to the Imperial College with Li Shouzhong's letter of recommendation.

The two masters, the chief academic officer and the principal of the Imperial College, were both old friends of Li Shouzhong. Naturally, they would not refuse the entrustment from their good friend.

Xuezheng Yan Tu took over the task of arranging study accommodation and brought Su Mingzhe to his official residence. He took out a key and handed it to Su Mingzhe, saying:

"My dear nephew, people outside only know that the students of the Imperial Academy are divided into three levels according to their origins, but they don't know that this is just the entry level. After the entry, all students are equal and need to be judged based on their academic performance!"

The Imperial College was divided into three levels according to students' academic performance: upper, middle and lower.

Among them, the best students live in the upper dormitory, the average students live in the middle dormitory, and the worst students live in the lower dormitory.

As Su Mingzhe was the top scorer in this year's provincial examination, he was treated as an excellent student and directly moved into the upper dormitory.

"My dear nephew, you can only live in the dormitory assigned to you for free for one month!"

Yan Tu arranged the accommodation and handed the key to Su Mingzhe, then continued:

"If you want to continue living in the upper dormitory for free, you must get an A grade in the monthly exam next month!"

“Students must continue to work hard!”

Su Mingzhe performed the etiquette obediently. After taking the key, he bowed and said goodbye.

Su Mingzhe couldn't guarantee that he would get the top spot in the imperial examination, but he could still pass the Imperial College examination easily.
