After Ma Wensheng returned home, he immediately sent people to the Yamen of Jinyiwei Town to find Ma Cong.

Along the way, Ma Cong was restless. Recently, I have been worried about Li Muer's affairs, lest she cause some trouble in the palace. On the one hand, he is also exploring how to enter the palace on an errand, even if he is a guard with a knife, he will have the opportunity to see her more.

But when my father came to look for him today, he must have already seen Mu'er.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Ma Wensheng smashed a teacup and hit him right in the eyebrows.

"Rebel! Sooner or later, you will lose your life for this woman! ”

"Father saw her?" Yin Hong's blood flowed from Ma Cong's forehead.

"Say! Did you help her infiltrate the palace? If the emperor has any three long and two short, I, Ma Wensheng, am brave and loyal, and I can only apologize with death! Ma Wensheng said excitedly. He asked himself that he had been loyal to the ruler all his life, and that he had disobeyed the parable for this son three years ago, and that today he had committed the crime of deceiving the king.

"Father is too worried." Ma Cong knew that he was wrong, knelt down and said, "My son doesn't have such great ability. ”

"Then why is she mixed with the emperor now? I thought she was just coming to you, and I was forgivable. But if she wants to lurk beside the emperor and wait for an opportunity to take revenge, even if she fights for her father, she must tell the matter and the situation. Ma Wensheng naturally didn't know that Li Muer had already avenged this revenge.

Ma Cong wouldn't tell him, but said: "Father is relieved, the emperor already knows Mu'er's identity, and the emperor himself wants to keep her by his side, and I have abolished her martial arts...... It's not the emperor who is in danger now, I think it's Sister Mu who is right......"

"What do you say? Ma Wensheng was also surprised, stood up and thought for a moment, and then said: "Then the emperor must be able to guess that I let her go privately." ”

Ma Cong knew that his father had his persistence, and persuaded him: "Father, the emperor can even let Li Mu'er go, how can he blame you." ”

Ma Wensheng just wanted to answer, but the family outside the door came to tell him that the emperor had arrived.

The father and son hurried out to greet each other.

I saw Zhu Youzhu dressed in civilian clothes, walking in a hurry, and only brought Xiao Jing alone.

Zhu Youzhu sent them to the study together, and then he said leisurely: "Ma Shangshu should know my intention." ”

Frightened, Ma Wensheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

The horse knelt down as well. The wound on his forehead was not large, and the bleeding had stopped at this moment, but the dried blood stains were more abrupt.

"Ma Qing, please get up," Zhu Youzhu helped him with his own hands, "I should thank Ma Qing." ”

The two got up, and Ma Wensheng was puzzled: "How can the emperor say this?" ”

"Ma Qing can know that when he ordered to kill the entire Li family, how could I bear it." Zhu Youzhu walked to the window with his hands in his hands, "Li Zixing is guilty, but what is wrong with Li Mu'er?" ”

"The emperor is wise!" Ma Cong agreed.

Ma Wensheng said: "The emperor is too merciful, the situation forced him to hesitate, and the emperor is helpless." Moreover, the crimes committed by Li Zi Province are too numerous to write, and the emperor should not blame himself anymore. ”

"But I'm ashamed of her after all," Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "Since she didn't die, I don't blame you, and you don't have to embarrass her." ”

"The minister Xie Emperor is not to blame, but the minister really can't rest assured that the emperor will place her by his side, if she is ......"

"She won't." Zhu Youzhu interrupted him, "I believe her." She just didn't understand her father's qualities as an official, and I had asked her to investigate it herself, and when she understood, I would let her out of the palace, and from then on. ”

"Your Majesty, if the secret report of the year is true, if she is really burdened with the ...... of the Li family"

"Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore, we have already found out the truth about this matter. What's more, in my opinion, she really didn't know anything about the Li family. Zhu Youzhu paused, his face sank, and his words changed, "If she wants to kill me then, then if I see the wrong person, I hope that Ma Cong will do it for me, and I will never suffer again." ”

Ma Cong was stunned, but he felt that what Zhu Youzhu said was reasonable, so he knelt down and said: "The minister also guarantees with his life, Mu'er has been chivalrous and righteous since he was a child, and he is benevolent and righteous. If there really is such a day...... The ministers will not be soft, and they will protect the emperor last week! ”

"Good. Ma Shangshu, although your son is emotional, he is a person who understands Dali and understands righteousness. With him protecting me, Ma Shangshu can rest assured. Zhu Youzhu patted Ma Cong's shoulder and was very satisfied. looked at his wounds, turned to Ma Wensheng and said, "I still have a place to go, Ma Shangshu should blame Ma Cong again." ”

Ma Cheng sent Zhu Youzhu out, looking at his distant ruts, full of relief.

If he was still frightened and uneasy last time when he saw Li Mu'er being taken away by him in the Criminal Department, then what Zhu Youzhu said this time undoubtedly made him let go of the big stone in his heart, and after all, she was safe.

Zhu Youzhu thought that if he had a heart-to-heart with Ma Wensheng, Li Muer would be able to stay by his side safely. Unexpectedly, a few days later, something went wrong.

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the third year of Hongzhi, Gengxu Kedian test, went to the Imperial Fengtian Palace, Zhu Youzhu personally planned to test the Chinese-style lifting of the Ministry of Rites, Li Muer wanted to see the world, so he went to the palace together to record.

Zhu Youzhi ordered thirteen ministers, including the young master and the prince and the prince, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Ji, a scholar of the palace university, to be the palace examination officials.

Among the thirteen ministers, there is not only Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but also an acquaintance of Li Muer: He Qiaoxin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Li Mu'er was shocked into a cold sweat.

Zhu Youji: Are you a pig? even blatantly allowed her to come along! Above the main hall, in front of the hundred officials, if they were taught to expose her identity, she would die without a place to be buried.

She swept the two of them with her peripheral eyes, but the two of them didn't move, just as if they didn't know her.

Li Mu'er finished recording Zhu Youji's test questions, and quietly glanced at him, Zhu Youzhu was like a prophet, smiled at her and nodded, and she settled down.

Presumably, the emperor has already helped her settle it.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, the scholar Liu Ji stepped forward and said: "The old system of the Ministry of Rites will test the Chinese-style people, the first day of the palace test, the next day to read the papers, and the next day to release the list, to the day of urgency, so that the reading of the papers has not been detailed, from now on please show another day, to the fourth day from the beginning of the list, the ministers and others will do their best to test the school, read the paper deacon and other officials to stay in the Ministry of Rites, in order to avoid floating discussions." ”

Fair, just and open, Zhu Youzhi naturally agrees.

Liu Ji asked again: "The minister still has something to play." The selection of female officials in this dynasty is first the civil primary election, the second chief of ceremonies and supervisors, the inner palace is carefully examined, and then the literature and history are examined, and their temperament and remarks are familiarly observed, and the rigidity, wisdom, foolishness and virtuousness of the person are evaluated. However, now the emperor's side is the imperial attendant Shen, and it is clear that he is transgressing! ”

Li Mu'er's heart that was about to land was raised again, but she never thought that the last person who questioned her was the first assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Liu, who couldn't fight with her!

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect it!

I only heard Liu Ji continue: "The imperial examination hall is trying to select the virtuous and capable, although the female officials of the inner court and the ministers and other foreign officials are almost fine, but the emperor's case is not very detailed, and the selection should be standardized. ”

He persevered in every word for a reason, and his words were reasonable.

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect it, and Li Muer was speechless.

Ma Wensheng and He Qiaoxin took advantage of the situation to step out and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

The officials were surprised.

Ma Wensheng, He Qiaoxin and others have always disdained to be in the same league as Liu Ji, but now they rarely have the same opinion as him, and the officials with organic spirits immediately stepped forward to agree.

The main hall presented a one-sided situation.

Just when Zhu Youzhu was about to refute it, Xiao Jing, who had always spoken little, walked out. He saluted the ministers, turned to Zhu Youzhi and blamed himself: "Your Majesty, it is the negligence of the old ministers. Shen was selected as a show girl in Zhejiang, and was selected to enter the palace after being reviewed and verified by the celebrant supervisor, and nothing was found wrong. The old minister thought that this matter was the etiquette of the inner palace, so he did not notify it to the court. Now for the adults to raise doubts, it is the old minister's dereliction of duty. ”

Li Muer secretly clapped her hands in her heart.

Although Xiao Jing spoke respectfully, the meaning could not be clearer: This is a matter in the palace, what does it matter to your outer court!

Xiao Jing is really a good person!

"The celebrant is naturally foolproof in doing things," Liu Ji said, "It's just that you have to serve the imperial front, unlike that kind of Shang Palace, this kind of learning and talent should be one in a hundred." ”

"How do you know that the lower officials are not one in a hundred?" Li Mu'er couldn't help it, she walked to the front of the hall in a few steps and gave Liu Ji a big salute.

Liu Ji snorted coldly: "Looking at your disrespectful and arrogant appearance, you know that your virtue is not good. ”

Li Mu'er thought to herself, where am I disrespectful, where am I proud? But he couldn't show it on his face, but he just turned around and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, today's written test in the hall is all the talents of the pillars." The lower officials did not dare to take the lead here, and ruined the major event of the imperial examination. But the adults were puzzled, and the lower officials couldn't turn a deaf ear. It is the following officials who invite themselves, wait for the Jinshi and the first, and after the appointment is heard, the emperor and all the adults will come to test the talents of the lower officials again, in order to show the fairness of the imperial power! ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhu looked at the woman in front of her, her eyebrows were picturesque and her head was slightly raised, her expression was calm and calm, and her eyes were full of confidence and open-mindedness.

"Do you still have any objections?"

"That's very good." Liu Ji and the others bowed their heads and complied.

Zhu Youzhu clapped the board and gave an order: "Then it will be ten days." Ten days later, I and Zhongqing were in this Fengtian Hall again, personally planning the Shen family. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Mu'er objected: "The emperor must not!" Xiaguan is a female stream, how can he be virtuous, how dare he build a second class to the Fengtian Palace. The lower officials began in the court, and then the emperor summoned all the adults into the harem to judge, so as not to mess up the rules of the previous dynasty, what does the emperor think? “

This made Liu Ji agree very much, and he also begged: "What the Shen family said is good, the emperor can allow it." ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Li Mu'er's gourd, why he suddenly became so humble, but he also responded: "Then it's up to you." ”

When the dust settled, Li Mu'er slowly walked back to her original position, slandering in her heart, who is this Liu Ji? A high-ranking official, but she is as knowledgeable as a little female official.

Zhu Youzhu looked at her and saw that her brows were deep, thinking that she was worried about her consideration in ten days, so he thought in his heart how to help her......
