Chapter 22 Ingenuity
Heart! Crying bitterly! Helpless!
After receiving the bad news, the emperor felt the whole world was dizzy, not thinking about food and food, restlessness, and immersed in the pain of losing his wife.
The Chinese commonly say that there are three great sorrows, and Lin Guangyu verified that "losing his wife in middle age". Such human misfortunes not only washed away the joy of the princess, but also caused an unprecedented blow to him.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at that vivid, cute little life. As long as he glanced at or even heard the cry of a baby, Long Yu's smile and figure shaking in front of his eyes, and her laughter seemed to echo in his ears. But this daughter lost her mother as soon as she was born!
The longing for the deceased has become the whole thing that lingers in the emperor's heart. His thoughts and soul are full of support and can no longer put anything else.
He cried during the great funeral of Cixi, but it was a live comedy that had to be staged in order to seize power and protect himself. Every tear carries not pain but curse and scolding;
He cried when Concubine Zhen returned to burial, but it was just the instinct that this body gave him and the sigh of his predecessors as a latecomer. Behind the tears that shed were a faint sorrow, a sorrow that made people immersed in the scene and seemed to stop and watch;
When the Six Gentlemen were buried, he cried again. The crying sound contained Guangxu's own pain and the memorial of time travelers. Among the tears, the later generations were more respect and admiration for benevolent people. Higher ones were taller, but farther farther than farther. The political show was stronger than personal feelings;
Only this time when I shed tears in the face of Longyu's death, every little bit and every drop are the true expression of my personal feelings.
Perhaps he is measured by his personal standards, his love for Longyu is neither profound nor far-reaching. This is due to encounters rather than a marriage because of nature. But he cannot forget the help and care given by Longyu over the past year - this is almost everything that women in this era can do! Perhaps it is dull. Perhaps it may be a bit vulgar, but this is the true human nature and the true feelings.
After listening to Du Zhongjun's explanation of the situation at that time, Lin Guangyu was speechless for a while and could not speak. Although he did not understand medical skills, he vaguely knew that Longyu died of excessive blood loss. When he learned from the other party's air that Longyu tried to protect his daughter before his death, his tears burst out - a woman, whose greatness burst out at the critical moment of life and death was impressed. It was like a meteor that cut through the night, short as it was short, but it was a lasting light.
"Du Zhongjun! How did I explain it at that time?" This is not a question, it is just a sorrow, and the powerless tone is the desolation that the emperor has nowhere to speak of.
"I... I... I deserve to die!" Du Zhongjun knew that no matter how he defended, he could not change the result of the queen's death. He said in tears, "Although the emperor has made clear the solution, I saw that the fetus had appeared. I thought that I could hold on for a while and my mother would be safe, so I did not suddenly seal the muscles... Later, later..."
Silently speaking, the Palace of Yangxin was immersed in a sadness. The entire center was immersed in a sadness.
In the Forbidden City, a white banner. And the woman has passed away gracefully...
All the important officials and relatives received the bad news that the queen died of dying childbirth at the first time. Such a change in the palace was so shocked that everyone hurried into the palace to meet before dawn.
At the gate of Yangxin Palace, Wang Shang led people to block the crowds of people coming to hang and condolence.
"Prince Chun, please stay. Long live in it and she burst into tears. She faces the wall and misses others. After passing the message, no one wants to see you. Please come back."
"What's going on with the emperor?" Zaifeng was so anxious that he looked like an ant on a hot pan. "The billions of subjects in the world all look up to the emperor. The emperor must take care of himself!"
"The emperor is mourning and following the changes!" The important officials knelt at the door of Yangxin Hall and sent out their sorrowful condolences and blessings.
"Dear princes and ministers, our family... we will definitely pass this to the emperor." Looking at the dark crowd, Wang Shang's nose felt sore, and he could no longer say the next sentence. He cried and replied to the hall.
The crowd was in agitation, and there were also bursts of crying.
In fact, Lin Guangyu knew everything outside clearly in the hall, but he had no intention of seeing these ministers. He only looked at the photo of Longyu in the palace - it was because of his suggestion that Longyu left a full body image in front of the foreigner's camera.
Touching the photo frame, Lin Guangyu murmured to himself: "Queen, I don't see anyone, I'll just say a few words to you here..."
"Prime Minister Xu
What should I do?" After waiting outside the hall for more than two hours, seeing the signs of the emperor's merger, the important officials could only turn around one after another. Tang Shaoyi and Xu Shichang walked together and asked anxiously.
Xu Shichang knew that he was asking about the civil servant exam, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The Empress is in a new mourning, and the Emperor is in a state of uneasy. As ministers, we should still take responsibility and share the worries of the Emperor."
"This is natural, I'm just worried about the emperor's body." Tang Shaoyi sighed, "Long-term thinking hurts the spirit, long-term crying hurts the body. The emperor worked hard for days and encountered such misfortune in human relations. I'm really afraid..."
"Shaochuan." Xu Shichang stopped and saw that there was no one nearby. "From my understanding of the emperor, although I suffered this misfortune, I will never be depressed. Do you remember that the emperor had already changed his temperament after he was hit by lightning more than a year ago when the emperor was exposed to the saints of the gods?"
Xu Shichang and Tang Shaoyi were both part of the Yuan Party. They were partners when they opened a province in the Northeast. They had deeper personal relationships than ordinary ministers and had to speak frankly.
"Yes...I have heard of it."
"It is not surprising that the emperor's reaction is that the emperor has made such a reaction, and there is no need to worry too much. However, as ministers, you and I are now ministers in the responsible cabinet, and it is impossible not to take responsibility. The funeral ceremony will be prepared immediately, and the civil servant exam will never be delayed. At present, there is only one thing that worries me the most."
—
"What's the matter?"
"The emperor's tomb has not started construction for a long time, and even the survey has not been completely completed. The empress's coffin must be buried in the imperial tomb in the future. The auspicious place is not ready at present, so we should find a proper place to stop our spirits. The emperor may not have thought of such a major event, but we must prepare for it in advance."
"I really admire the prime minister's plan for the country. If it weren't for this reminder, I'm afraid I'll remember it until the end of the day. At that time, I might be in a hurry."
"It's not a problem. You will still preside over the civil servant exam and maintain it with all your strength. No trouble will arise. I will negotiate with all the adults of the Ceremony."
"Please rest assured that you will definitely manage your own affairs well and ensure that there will be no trouble." Tang Shaoyi bowed deeply.
As Xu Shichang expected, the empress was newly mourned and the capital was in turmoil. Many candidates who had participated in the first examination of qualification were also anxious. However, on the ninth day of March, the official department still announced the list of people who passed the pass according to the original plan. Tang Shaoyi also passed the Imperial Daily and made a voice saying that this civil servant examination was a national ceremony and would be carried out as usual and would not be affected.
In this way, the rumors about the so-called cancellation and rescheduling of this civil servant exam were self-defeating, and they were gradually silent. The candidates who passed the first qualification examination began the next stage of fighting.
The second round of examination is different from the first exam, and the answer time is as long as two hours. It is dim and everyone gathers the examination rooms that were originally used for the imperial examination. Before entering the venue, everyone needs to go through strict searches and identity verification to prevent someone from cheating. At around 8 o'clock, after the candidates of each subject sit down according to the different categories of subjects they submitted, the examiner will hold the imperial civil servant exam questions and papers and distribute them one by one.
The subjects in the second professional preliminary examination were divided into Chinese, foreign languages, law, business, Gynecology, engineering, medicine, chemistry and other major categories. Among these subjects, the number of applicants for Chinese subjects is the largest. Those who apply for the status of donating officials, replenishing officials, and becoming famous in the imperial examination are only familiar with the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, and know nothing about other subjects. If you want to pass the examination, you must choose this subject. Therefore, when the ratio of candidates to positions in other subjects is usually only 51 or even 31, the ratio of Chinese subjects is as high as 25:1, and this small path of intestinal quasi-grabbing competes for the few places.
After getting the test paper, these well-educated people still took a breath. The test paper questions were not test questions such as the Five Classics, but a total of five questions, including two questions of history and theory, three questions of politics and art and strategy.
The first question of historical theory is enough to be deafening: the Shenshang Reform, the similarities and similarities between Wang Anshi's Reform and Reform;
A question in the political high school entrance examination schools in various countries is: Land annexation has always been the source of chaos in China, but the harm of land annexation in Britain is far more than that of China, but the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Why? Try to analyze it.
It is really a unique topic. Many candidates have been studying hard for ten years and have no use before these five questions.
