General Ning and Lian Xizhe had just finished their day's duty, and they all took off their military uniforms and walked on the streets outside the imperial city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 General Ning said in a deep tone: "Recently, there has been a big incident in the court, and the emperor is bored all day long, and he is in a bad mood, so we should be extra cautious when we are on errands!" ”

"I understand, it's been arranged." Lian Xizhe nodded.

The big thing in General Ning's mouth was the incident that happened a few days ago when the unsuccessful candidates sued the officials of the Ministry of Officials. At that time, the emperor's elder brother Mu Wangye was ordered to enter the palace to meet him, but a few steps out of the mansion appeared out of thin air, holding a bloody letter, and tearfully accusing the officials of the examiner of cheating and accepting each other. Xiucai claimed that he had studied hard for decades, just to win fame and serve the country, but unfortunately he repeatedly failed to make the list. Originally, I thought that Xu was not good at learning and his skills were not as good as others, but he never felt resentment. But in a casual conversation with a literati, I accidentally found that the article in Zhuangyuanye's high school was exactly the same as my own!

Zhang Xiucai was puzzled and decided to find out about the matter, and later learned from the little guy of the examiner at that time that it was the officials who accepted bribes and exchanged their examination papers with those of today's champions. Zhang Xiucai was indignant, so he sued the examiner of the Ministry of Officials to the Yamen in Beijing with a written letter. Who knew that what was waiting for was not redress and rehabilitation, but a severe beating and imprisonment by the Yamen of the Criminal Department, saying that he had falsely accused the court officials and broke one of his legs. Now Zhang Xiucai is not only disabled, but also ordered to not participate in the imperial examination for life, and in desperation, he can only choose to intercept Mu Wangye's car and seize this last opportunity to avenge himself.

Lord Mu has always saluted the Magi, and he was surprised to hear what happened to him, and saw that he was mourning in his blood handwriting, and cried blood, he was indeed a talented young man, and he felt pity in his heart. So Prince Mu accepted the blood book and immediately entered the palace to play all this to King Yi.

King Yi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter, and even passed that Zhang Xiucai entered the palace for questioning. It's good that this is not investigated, but an investigation actually involved many officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Crime, including many important ministers of the DPRK and China, and the first to bear the brunt was the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the Secretary of the Criminal Department. King Yi was furious, not only removed from the title of champion of the current champion, but also ordered the detention and interrogation of many officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, saying that they would be strictly and thoroughly investigated to eliminate the bad practices of officialdom.

This incident affected not only the officials and the second criminal department, but also the current crown prince Li Zhaoyu, because the officials and the criminal department are both the prince's people, and the loss of these two generals can be described as a big impact on the prince's power in the court. But this matter is really too big, the prince has just been lifted, if he gets into this troubled water again, I am afraid he will not be able to get any cheap, so even if he is unwilling in his heart, he will not dare to intercede for the people involved in the court.

General Ning sighed heavily, "This scientific examination fraud case implicates the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department at the same time, I am afraid that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to escape the involvement." What a fuss you say! How did today's imperial court become so smoky? ”

Lian Xizhe didn't care about this, but laughed and said, "Why is it that the general is now also concerned about those flies and dogs of the civil officials?" ”

"It's not that I deliberately pay attention to it, but when things get bigger, I will always hear some rumors. In the past, I used to fight outside the country all the year round, so I naturally didn't hear much about the situation in Beijing, but now that I am the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, I can't do some things if I don't want to know. General Ning shook his head helplessly, "I'm afraid that in the end, even the two of us will have to get involved!" ”

"I'm not worried about this, I'm just a nobody, and people who want to come to the prince don't bother to spend effort on me."

"Hopefully." General Ning lowered his head and pondered, and then changed his words, "By the way, the third prince returned to Beijing and was crowned the king of the county, have you met him?" ”

Lian Xizhe said truthfully: "Not yet." But I heard that this prince was under house arrest in a foreign country as a proton, and he came back after a lot of hardships. ”

"Yes, I remember when he was a child, I saw him a few times, and he was very well-behaved." General Ning nodded, recalling the face of the immature child back then, and felt unbearable in his heart. "It's a pity..."

Lian Xizhe echoed with a smile, but he thought about it differently in his heart: There were many incidents because of the return of the third prince to the palace, and even the prince was banned from the East Palace, but now as soon as the third prince comes back, there will be such a big incident in the court, will there be some too much coincidence at this time? Although the fraud case has nothing to do with this prince on the surface, but when things get to this point, he always feels that all this is indispensable to the promotion of this Ning king. But he didn't say these thoughts, after all, some words were still only suitable for swallowing.

Lian Xizhe was thinking to himself, when suddenly, a familiar blue figure flashed in front of him, but when he wanted to look for that figure again, there was no trace.

General Ning saw that Lian Xizhe beside him had a strange expression, and said with concern: "What's the matter?" ”

"I think I saw the Blue Girl just now."

General Ning was startled and began to look around. Since Lan Xinzhi saved the two of them that day, there has been no news of her, how could she suddenly appear in Kyoto now? "Why didn't I see that? Could it be that you are mistaken? The Blue Girl has always traveled through mountains and rivers, but how could she appear in Kyoto? Could it be that you miss people too much and have hallucinations? ”

Lian Xizhe frowned in disappointment and pondered: Is it? Did he read it wrong? Also, how could she be so cold and disdainful to come to such a worldly place as Kyoto?

Thinking of this, Lian Xizhe pulled a wry smile at the corner of his mouth and turned to leave.

When Li Zhaoyan returned to the palace after handling official business, it was already dusk, and as soon as he returned, he walked straight to the Zizhu Garden, where Youwu lived, and instructed his subordinates to send the prepared dinner there directly.

Since Li Zhaoyan returned to Kyoto, he arranged for Youwu and Yingling to live on the outskirts of the city temporarily, and was closely protected by Yuzhi. Later, King Yi rewarded Li Zhaoyan with a mansion in the east of the city as a mansion, so he secretly took them back and arranged them in the side courtyard of the mansion, and instructed Youwu not to go out if she had nothing to do, so as not to be discovered by the prince's eyeliner. Forget it, Youwu has been "locked up" in the house for more than ten days, doing nothing every day and worrying, but fortunately, Yingling and Yuzhi accompany her from time to time to talk, which didn't make her so bored that she wiped her neck.

The two of them ate at the same table in the house, and Li Zhaoyan carefully prepared dishes for Youwu, always with a smile at the corner of his eyebrows. (To be continued.) )
