Zi Yao sighed, "The people don't care who can be the emperor, they only care about who has good policies, low tax burden, and suitable for survival." The people are also water, the water is carrying the boat, the water is overturned, and the king thinks about the danger, then the danger will not come?

As for the iron fist of the dual management of the beam, there are also drawbacks, so can Sikong Qian really make wedding clothes for others without any other thoughts?"

Chu Xingyuan only fully understood Zi Yao's intentions at this time, and when the princess revealed the hidden pain at the palace banquet, the entire court would definitely be disrupted, and all the princes were not stupid, how could they give up such an opportunity to suppress Si Kongqian, as long as they controlled the process and used the emperor's hand to dispose of Si Kong Qian at the right time.

That Great Liang will definitely be in chaos, the balance between these balanced ministers will be disturbed, it will be a plate of scattered sand, and if a few more forces are controlled, then the Great Liang will die.

Chu Xingyuan looked at Zi Yao, who had an indifferent face, stirring up the storm but was calm, and suddenly realized that he didn't know her, he should really be glad that this person was a friend and not an enemy, otherwise Beidi's great cause of reunification would be hopeless.

The meticulous work lurking everywhere, Chu Xingyuan wrote it out without reservation, and the attitude of giving it to Zi Yao with such trust made Zi Yao smile heartily, and a few chess pieces were activated.

***

The Imperial Palace of the Great Liang Kingdom, the Imperial Study.

The township test hall test ended unimpeded, and the examination papers of 'Lin Xing' were opened and sealed, and they were placed on the dragon case of Emperor Sikong Tuo of the Great Liang Emperor uprightly.

The Qianwang on the right hand side is shallow, leaning on the chair, holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup, gently scraping off the foam on the tea soup.

King Qianqian said leisurely: "This son is very strategic, and he is extremely insightful, although the family is from a businessman's background, but it is really eye-catching to be able to have this knowledge, what does the emperor think of this Yijia?"

Emperor Sikong Tuo's half-squinted eyes did not change at all, "The five emperor uncles have already decided why they need to discuss with me, and I will issue an edict!"

As he spoke, he lifted the red pen, wrote the words "Yijia" on it, and covered it with a jade seal.

Such a hasty and even somewhat resistant mood made Sikong raise his eyebrows, get up and pick up these test papers and bow slightly.

"Then the old minister will retire!" said without waiting for the emperor to speak, and took three steps back and went directly out of the imperial study.

Seeing that King Qianwang Sikong Qian disappeared in the imperial study, Sikong Tuo waved his sleeves and all the red pens, rulers, pen washes and other things fell to the ground one after another, and when he heard the voice, an old eunuch trotted in and rushed in, stomping his feet in a hurry.

"Hey, my emperor, what's wrong with you? If you hear it as soon as the prince leaves, we won't have a good life!"

Sikong Tuotong sat on the chair like a deflated ball, yes! What is the use of relieving the momentary qi, such a emperor is really enough!

"Zhu Pinghai put the things away! Arrange it, and in three days, the top three top players of the new department will attend the palace banquet. ”

The old eunuch picked up the objects on the ground, shook the dust and said yes, and the imperial study was quiet again.

***

The next day, Lin Mansion.

Chu Xingyuan walked quickly to Ziyao's courtyard, stood outside the door and shouted, "Su'er, I won the first class!"

Zi Yao has a black line, now there are no eight treasures, and he has no cultivation, this person actually ran to his door and shouted, and it was really bad to be woken up in his sleep, and he couldn't wait to go out and strangle him.

"Well, wait a minute!"

Zi Yao's indifferent tone made Chu Xingyuan know that he had overstepped his bounds, and it was extremely polite to run outside the door of the girl's room and drink so loudly.

"Don't worry, I just told you that you need to attend the palace banquet the day after tomorrow, you can take your family with you, can you go with me?"

Zi Yao was stunned, but he didn't expect him to be for this, he had already finished wearing it at this time, simply pulled most of his long hair into a bun on the top of his head, pushed the door and walked out.

"The palace banquet is so fast?"

Chu Xingyuan nodded, "I'm also extremely surprised to hear the news, isn't the annual palace banquet within half a month after the edict is issued?

Zi Yao raised the corners of her lips, "It's a good thing for you and me, the top three test papers should be shallow, such an arrogant person, it is very interesting to let the emperor issue an edict, this emperor decided the time of the palace banquet, but he just wanted to fill in the gap."

In a hurry, it may be difficult to find a suitable position for you, and the champion is directly placed in the Hanlin Academy, and your answers and background are more suitable for the household department, but there is no suitable position for you yet.

Then let's not let down the emperor's wishes!"

Looking at Zi Yao's distant gaze, Chu Xingyuan suddenly felt very sorry for this girl, and was reborn with a soul full of hatred.

Zi Yao's eyes flashed, and she suddenly turned around, "Since we are lacking in timing, then we can create an opportunity in the past two days! ”

Chu Xingyuan walked up to Zi Yao, and the two discussed it again, Chu Xingyuan came to his senses and turned around to make arrangements.

***

The next night, the Qianwang Mansion.

The impeachment excerpt of Cao Guoan was handed to the case, and each case of the deduction of military rations had a clear time and who was involved, and the events recorded on a thin piece of paper in the appendix were somewhat impressive.

After all, those important ministers and generals are their own vassals, and the eyes that monitor them will report some of what they see at any time, but it has not been seen for many years to be able to make such a mistake under their own noses.

Sikong looked at the person who came, "Where did you get the news?"

A black-clothed ghost-faced man kneeling on the ground clenched his fists, his voice was sharp and feminine, as if a cat's claw was scratching the glass, "Lord Wang, this is the news that the eighteenth disciple Ning Qi has sent back, but this person is highly poisonous and has just died." ”

Saying that, the ghost-faced man kneeling on the ground here had a slightly low voice, and Sikong Qian waved his hand, "Get up!" You can personally investigate this matter of Ning Yuan, this person will be taken into custody immediately, and there are many people involved above, so it must be kept secret and not spread outside. ”

Ning Yuan withdrew from the Qianwang Mansion with his fists clenched, but just rushed to Cao Guoan's house in the Hubu Kurabe Langzhong, he found that this person had committed suicide, and his body had hardened when he had been hanging on the beam for a long time.

There was a confession on the case, taking everything down, admitting responsibility and apologizing with death, Ning Yuan checked the wound on Cao Guoan's neck and the traces of the scene, and Ning Yuan left Cao's mansion.

"Oh, you mean, Cao Guoan didn't kill himself in fear of crime, but was disguised like this?"

Ning Yuan clenched his fists, "Yes, when his subordinates arrived, this person's body was already cold, although there were traces of white silk strangled on his neck, but it also appeared, a horizontal strangulation mark, indicating that this person was tired to death before hanging on the beam." ”
