Prison Dragon

Chapter 141

Yang You was woken up by Shang Luo, raised his head in a daze, and stared at the officials.

Only then did Yang You realize that he seemed to be very rude, so he apologized.

Shang Luo knew that he had left the palace in the middle of the night last night to deal with King An's matters, and also knew that he was very tired recently, so he didn't say much, and came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty is tired, you should pay attention to your health."

"I see," Yang You nodded shyly, "How's the discussion going?"

Liu Po ​​said in great embarrassment, "Your Majesty, please give more consideration to this matter... the restructuring of scientific examinations."

Seeing that the group of ministers seemed to be discussing it, Yang You still didn't come up with a suitable opinion, and he couldn't object publicly. He thought about it and took out Lu Shanjian's notes.

"I have a letter here, Zhu Qing, take a look."

The name of Lu Shanjian was written on the back of the notebook.

Lu Shanjian is very proficient in the metaphysics of calculations, and has been well-known in the capital for the past few years. Many people know that he used to be an eminent monk in the Thanksgiving Temple, and he has an unclear relationship with Yang You.

At first they only thought that Lu Shanjian was Yang You's eyeliner, but who knew that Yang You wanted him to be his brother.

"I want to use this person to try out a new scientific examination, what do you guys think?"

It is not that there is no old practice of promoting Baishen in the history of Qi State, just a monk...

Everyone looked at the brochure again, it didn't say anything about a poor family, it only mentioned a method to prevent cheating - obscuring names.

Yang You hit the iron while the iron was hot and said: "If you blur your name, you can subtract too many incidents of cheating. People from poor families can be listed on the list according to the quality of the article. Isn't it a good thing?"

If the name is blurred, the examination paper cannot be recognized naturally, so it is impossible to know which son wrote what. For the aristocratic family, it undoubtedly interferes with their power of recommendation.

But this also means that from now on, the scientific examination has nothing to do with family background, it only depends on talent and learning.

It has to be said that most people in the court still agree.

Cui Yan, who had already been promoted to Zhongshu's servant, said, "I'm afraid this person is not capable enough to preside over important events."

Lu Shanjian wrote the method of obfuscating names in great detail in the booklet, as if he had prepared in advance, and he also attached a note, which described the possible cheating situations after the emergence of the method of obfuscating names—— Tibetan headlines, specified sentences appear in the article, etc.

Yang You believed that he was well prepared, not to mention that he couldn't just let Lu Shanjian do it, he said: "Let this matter be handed over to the Ministry of Rites. , let’s start with the Jinshi Mingjing two subjects.”

A bachelor's job is only empty, and Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is not a high-ranking official. This arrangement can be regarded as a mid-level arrangement, and all officials seconded it.

Although Yang You is now called His Majesty, he is still only the heir emperor, and he can only be officially proclaimed emperor after the enthronement ceremony.

Yang You glanced at the list presented by the Ministry of Rituals. Just the flow of the enthronement ceremony made him feel sorry for the money in the treasury. He picked up a pen and wrote while saying, "The date given by the Qin Tianjian is February [-], it is better to postpone it." In a few days, until March [-]rd, it will be held together with the Spring Plowing Ceremony, keeping everything simple and saving some money."

"It's absolutely impossible." The chief of the Qin Tianjian stepped forward and said, "The date of enthronement is the date after the strict calculation of the Qin Tianjian. If the date is changed, I am afraid that the country's fortune will be damaged."

I don't know if it will damage the fortune of the country, Yang You thought to himself, he is obviously afraid that if he doesn't take credit for enthronement, he won't know when it will come to him.

Having stayed with Ao Chen for a long time, Yang You has long been used to things like the fate of the country.

He sighed, "Since it can't be changed, then keep everything simple and don't waste money."

After finally waiting for the next court, Yang You breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to the Xuanzheng Hall after all the officials had left.

He always thought about the half-fulfilled dream, and he only saw the first half of Yang Yan's life.

There must be more important content later.

Yang Youping retreated from the palace people, lying on the throne alone, and closed his eyes.

Perhaps because of the strong purpose of this action, he couldn't fall asleep again no matter what.

Yang You pillowed on his arm with some disappointment. Although he didn't dream, Yang You had read history books, so he could roughly guess what happened later.

The great ancestor Yang Shuo soon unified the world and became the emperor. King Han was granted the title of side-by-side king, and the two brothers shared the country.

Gaozu improved people's livelihood, lightened corvees and paid less taxes, stopped fighting, and ruled the world.

Yang Shuo may be an excellent emperor to the common people, but not to the officials.His prince Yang Ze is very young, gentle and kind.And his subordinates are all fierce generals who followed him to conquer the world. For the stability of the dynasty and for Yang Ze to take over the burden smoothly, he continuously reduced the power of the generals, and even killed many heroes who founded the country.

In the fifth year after Yang Shuo unified the world, that is, in the fifth year of Shangyuan, 27 generals under him at the beginning, except Han Wang Yang Yan, the other 20 were killed and three were exiled, leaving only three generals who were good at defense to guard. Northern Line.

Yang Yan's side-by-side king also became a false job in the end.

Yang You tried to figure out Yang Yan's psychology. Judging from the only fragments of his dreams, he had an upright personality, emphasizing affection and righteousness.

He must have had conflicts with Yang Shuo for various reasons, perhaps the biggest reason being that he couldn't accept his brother becoming so cold-blooded.

Five years after the Shangyuan period, Yang Yan, King of Han, lived in seclusion and no longer participated in government affairs.

It stands to reason that if Yang Yan continues to develop like this, although Yang Yan will not be satisfied, he will still have a good end.

Two years later, that is, the seventh year of Shangyuan, there are no more records in the history books, only that Han Wang Yang Yan and his subordinates rebelled in the mansion.

The king of Han was punished and the three clans were destroyed.

Given that he is a member of the royal family, basically all the people who were killed were members of Concubine Han's clan.

Since then, King Han has disappeared from the history books.

Only the last record is at the end of Gaozu Benji.

Before Gaozu died, thinking about his achievements in this life, he specially pardoned the 27 generals of the year and let them be buried in the imperial tomb.

The sleeping bones were awakened, repacked into gorgeous coffins, and sent to the imperial mausoleum.

The history books did not record Ao Chen, nor did they record why the king of Han rebelled, and how the formation on Ao Chen was set up.

Yang You recalled that Lu Shanjian said that with Ao Chen's power, no one can force him, so Ao Chen must be the one who tied himself to Qi Guo willingly.

What exactly happened that year?

At this point in the questioning, he just wanted to know what happened between the Gaozu brothers.

Why did Gao Zu miss his younger brother in various obscure ways?

Why didn't he do it in a fair manner during his lifetime?

It's a pity that even Ao Chen, the last insider, forgot all this.

He stared blankly at Xuanzheng Hall, his eyes suddenly went dark, and there was a cool touch on his eyelids.

"Ao Chen..." Yang You smiled helplessly and touched his hand, "What do you want to do?"

Ao Chen gave away his hand, pecked at his hair, walked to Yang You's side and said, "Have half of the dragon chair for me?"

Yang You sat aside without thinking. The dragon chair is very spacious, but it is really difficult for two big men to sit on the same level, so Ao Chen put one leg on Yang You.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to be an emperor." Ao Chen looked at the large and empty Xuanzheng Palace and said.

There are many high platforms between the dragon chair and the place where the officials stand, making this place the highest place.

"It's as if you've never sat on it before." Yang You knew Ao Chen's habit for a long time, "You must have sat on it when no one was around, no, maybe someone was there, and you have also sat on the dragon chair before."

Yang You grabbed Ao Chen's collar and asked, "Did you step on it?"

Ao Chen blinked, leaned over with a smile, curled Yang You's hair with his fingers, and leaned his head on his shoulder, "Your Majesty really understands my concubine."

The smile on his brow and eyes made Yang You inexplicably think of Han Wang Yang Yan who was teasing Miss Yu.

Even though Ao Chen had forgotten King Han, he still left his mark on Ao Chen.

Yang You lowered his head and saw the broken dragon scale hanging on Ao Chen's clothes, he picked it up and held it in his palm, and told Ao Chen about his dream today.

Ao Chen's expression was still indifferent as usual, but Yang You noticed that his eyes blinked many times, and finally he smiled with reddish eye sockets.

"It sounds like he's a really nice guy."

"You were probably very good friends with him before." Yang You said, "You should like him very much."

He reached out and touched the dragon pattern on Ao Chen's clothes, "I also like Princess Han very much."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept the dragon pattern for so many years.

Ao Chen held his hand and rubbed it on his cheek, "I don't know, it seems that when his name is mentioned, sometimes I am happy, sometimes I feel sad, and sometimes I want to hit him."

"It seems that your previous stories must have been wonderful." Yang You said with a smile, suddenly he was a little jealous of King Han.

But thinking of Han Wang and his wife, he lost his emotions again.

"Tell me, why did I have a dream this time? Is it really because of that dragon scale?"

Yang You asked, "But this time the dragon scale has been on your body, I should not feel King Han's obsession."

Ao Chen was also a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe you have been subjected to many dragons/essences, and your physique has become sensitive. As long as you touch these things, you will dream."

Yang You blushed when he said that, but he had to admit that this statement was the most appropriate.

"Lu Shanjian went to Hebei for inspection for the reform of the scientific examination system, and he will come back the day after tomorrow. When he comes back, let him quickly take a look at your contract and formation."

Ao Chen hugged him and kissed him sideways.

Yang You curled up on Ao Chen's cold chest, and gradually became sleepy. He lowered his eyelashes uncontrollably, and was still talking to Ao Chen in a low voice. Only then was he willing to reveal the slightest worry and weakness.

"I'm going to be emperor soon."

"Ah."

"Qi's long-standing evils are too deep, and it's too difficult for me to change. Do you think I can do it?"

Ao Chen pressed him on his chest, kissed his forehead, "It's okay, I will protect you."

"For the sake of being a god, I reluctantly believe you once."

Yang You wanted to know what would happen to King Han, but he didn't have any dreams. The complicated and treacherous things in the old papers, together with the thrilling, worrying and worrying in reality, seemed to disappear in Ao Chen's embrace.
