A noble daughter of the royal clan hides her identity and seeks elixir for the emperor. After going through many hardships and dangers, she is rescued by a talented man and escorted all the way back to the capital.

Ever since the people in the official circles publicly welcomed the princess back to the palace, some rumors that seemed true or false began to spread in the huge city of Beiping and the surrounding areas.

At first, these rumors seemed to be the same. Although many extra contents were added by the good guys, it was basically a positive feudal story about a talented man saving a beautiful woman and a scholar escorting a noble lady.

But one person faxed, three people spoke out, and some enthusiastic people from the two major organizations, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, added fuel to the fire.

Soon, the focus of the gossip about "welcoming the noble daughter of the clan" was no longer the word "welcome back". Instead, it was "after the noble daughter found the elixir, she and the talented scholar Kuzhu had a hard journey."

The process of "returning to the capital" has become the focus of this rumor.

I don’t know that the top eunuchs wanted to change this rumor and found a talented person from that family.

The process of Lin Pingzhi's motorcade and others marching towards the capital was obviously full of delicious food and drinks. Under the welcome of the literati and gentry from all over the country, the experience of coming to the capital openly and honestly was written like the experience of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West"

The same as "Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Difficulties".

In the "new version" of the rumor story, because Lin Pingzhi has a background in the Donglin Party, fictional villains of the Eunuch Party are described one after another. They are related to the most famous evil organization in the world, the Sun and Moon.

Cooperate with the "God Religion", or send your men, or personally go to the scene to stop the killing...

All in all, the writing was an imaginative and extremely exciting one. Even Lin Pingzhi later read it and saw a hint of the martial arts style written by Huang Yi in his previous life.

Of course, since there are wonderful plots, fights and other plots, there is naturally no shortage of emotional descriptions that the ancient people loved to see.

In the "new version" of the rumor, the Kuzhu talent fought against the sieges of Dongchang fanzi and demon cultists more than ten times for the sake of the beauty of the clan. After the Kuzhu talent was injured one time, he even made up a "Night Night"

The beautiful love scene of "staying in a wilderness temple, falling in love with a kiss under the moonlight".

On the official road outside the capital at the end, when the Kuzhu scholar and the noble daughter of the clan parted, they even exchanged love tokens and agreed on a happy ending "with the title on the gold list, when the prince proposes marriage"...

What I have to say is that this time, the strategy of the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian and his eunuchs against Lin Pingzhi was very successful.

Lin Pingzhi, who was a party involved, only attended three or five gatherings among Donglin literati after arriving in the capital, and soon returned to the Fuwei Escort Agency to stay in a courtyard in the capital and concentrate on reviewing.

When the examination of the Ministry of Rites was over, Lin Pingzhi relied on the knowledge gained through his own efforts and the imperial examination materials of later Ming Dynasties recorded in the system to successfully obtain the top five results in the examination.

At this time, Lin Pingzhi, who took Shi Shiran, the bookboy Sijiu, who checked the list and went to the tea house and restaurant in Peiping City, discovered that the rumors about him, a talented Kuzhu scholar, and the noble daughter of the clan were gradually getting out of control.

The direction cuts away diagonally.

If Lin Pingzhi was just a local in this time and space, he would most likely just laugh it off and say what he thought was the common people's delusion instead of doing what he thought.

After all, the relationship between him and the princess is indeed innocent. Today is a world of martial arts full of strange arts. There are many medical experts in Prince Xin's palace, and they can naturally easily judge the vitality of the princess's body.

For loss.

But who knew that Lin Pingzhi was the incarnation of a powerful person with the memory of future generations! Coupled with the checking and filling of vacancies by the Golden Finger "system", he soon noticed the conspiracy behind this rumor...

——————————————————————

"Forty-nine!"

"What do you think, young master, I will be a guest of honor this time?"

After a party with friends from Fuzhou who had taken the same exam in the 3rd and 5th grade, Lin Pingzhi said to his book boy with a drunken smile on his way back from the restaurant to his residence.

"Master, you don't really have a crush on Princess Yu Ning, do you?"

Since he had studied with Lin Pingzhi for several years when he was a scholar, Sijiu, who was already a smart scholar, naturally knew that Yibin was the name of the husband-in-law of the clan princess. He was immediately shocked and continued to persuade him.

"Although my wife will be very surprised, isn't your career..."

Lin Pingzhi, a direct descendant of Donglin who became famous at a young age and was full of talents in the Central Plains, is undoubtedly one of the most promising young scholars in the world today.

In the Ming Dynasty, only scholars and gentry families with a slightly higher status knew about it.

Nowadays, marrying a daughter of a clan is definitely not a good thing for a promising scholar. Although there will be no lack of wealth and glory in his life, due to the restrictions of his ancestors, he cannot become a civil servant with real power, let alone show off his talents.

Strategize national affairs.

"Forty-nine! Who can say for sure about feelings?"

"Yu Ning is beautiful, gentle to others, and filial to her elders. Why is she not a good wife?"

"Also, after you have been with me for several years, your vision is still only focused on the world of martial arts and business."

When he said this, Lin Pingzhi's drunken eyes were half-closed, and he ignored the people around him who were paying close attention to him, including a few strong men wearing coarse clothes and pretending to be passers-by on the street, and deliberately said in a moderate voice.

.

"Today's young people are young, and what is the form of the imperial court?"

"The Eunuch family is the only one in power, and only Duke Jianxia and a few elders are left in Donglin to support us."

"Even if I become an official, how can I use my knowledge..."

He did not continue speaking. Instead, he pretended to be drunk and fell on the book boy Sijiu. Sijiu hurriedly called the four or five idle men around the street to help him carry the young master back to his mansion.

————————————————

What Shutong Sijiu didn't know was that his young master's words, which had passed the examination of Kuzhu Talents, were quickly conveyed to several people in the capital who could really make the decision regarding the matter.

In the residence of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Biao, a third-rank official named Jianxia, ​​was one of the few Donglin Party bosses above the central court in Peiping.

Ten years ago, after Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Gu Dazhang and other upright ministers of Donglin were expelled from the court by nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian through cunning tactics, he and several older Donglin noble officials were left to stick to their posts and maintain the relationship.

The influence of the Donglin lineage on the upper echelons of the court is diminishing.

"It's really good that he thinks so."

"It is indeed hasty to allow junior Dong Lin to go to Beijing this time. I am really sorry for Brother Dazhang!"

This old man with white hair looked at the several Donglin officials standing in front of him and whispered with some regret.

"If he really steps into the court at this time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for you to get started!"

Originally, he was a eunuch bribed by Dong Lin in the inner court of the Forbidden City. After receiving the information that the emperor was seriously ill and bedridden, he allowed young people from Dong Lin's lineage to quickly come to Beijing to take the exam.

If the information is true, then the emperor should have decreed to choose another date for the examination before the examination, so that the candidates from all over the country can return to their hometowns, without causing any loss to the younger generation of Donglin.

And they, Donglin, will also take advantage of this opportunity to launch a big plan to take away some of the rights of the eunuchs when the emperor is seriously ill and the imperial power is temporarily suspended.

But Li Biao never expected that this information from the inner court would be false!

Now that the general examination has been successfully passed, the palace examination will be held soon. At that time, the emperor, who has been living in the palace for a long time and doing Luban work, will definitely come out to inspect it in person.

It can be seen from this that the emperor is not sick at all, or his illness is not serious at all.

If the emperor had not been in serious trouble, then the eunuch faction, which is currently attached to the imperial power and can request orders to mobilize the clan to worship masters at any time, will be a truly invincible bureaucratic group with no weaknesses. Their "big plan" does not exist at all.

Possibility of success!

A young Donglin official sighed after hearing Li Biao's words.

"Alas! What the boss said is absolutely true."

Another middle-aged official recalled how every time he tried to rise up over the years, he was embarrassed and despised by the lower-level officials who were attached to the eunuch party. He couldn't help but feel sad, and then shouted angrily in a low voice.

"It's all my fault that Eunuch Li from the inner court, we spent so much money this time, actually deceived us with false information!"
