A month later, Cao Ying gave birth to a daughter.

Xu Zheng was very happy, Zou was originally a little disappointed, but as soon as he saw the child with pink makeup, he immediately put aside that trace of regret. happily hugged the child and refused to let go.

When the three rites were baptized, Xu Jinyu insisted on going back to the door, but Ye couldn't rest assured, so he simply accompanied her back to Xu's house.

The Xu family didn't have many relatives and friends in the capital, and most of the people who came were Xu Zheng's colleagues and daughters. Mrs. Cao, her two daughters-in-law and relatives of the same clan also came, and a room full of people.

After Xu Jinyu added three baptismal rites, she wanted to hug the child, but was stopped by the Zou family and the Ye family: "Jinniang, you have such a big belly, where do you still have the strength to hold the child." ”

Xu Jinyu had no choice but to stop this thought, leaned over to Cao Ying's side, and carefully looked at the baby's little face.

The baby was born three days ago, his cheeks were red, and his face had not yet grown. In Xu Jinyu's eyes, she is beautiful no matter how she looks at it.

"Sister-in-law, did the eldest brother give the child a milk name?" Xu Jinyu asked with interest.

Cao Ying was weak after giving birth, so she could only lie on the bed, and when she heard the words, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Not only is it a milk name, but even the full name is good!" A few months ago, he came up with a bunch of names, boys and girls. As soon as the child was born, he was named Xu Xian. Sister Xian. ”

"That's a good name." Xu Jinyu praised without thinking: "Elegant and chaste, it is the most suitable to be used as a girl's milk name." The eldest brother is outstanding in learning, and even the name is better than others. ”

Cao Ying smiled dumbly.

After marrying the Xu family for a year, she completely understood what it means to have a deep brother-sister relationship.

In Xu Zheng's eyes. Xu Jinyu's sister is unique in heaven and earth. In Xu Jinyu's heart, Xu Zheng's status is also unmatched!

Cao Ying's relationship with his brother is also very harmonious, but it is far from the trust and tacit understanding between Xu Zheng and Xu Jinyu.

She didn't like it in her heart. On the contrary, I feel that such a brother and sister affection is enviable.

"You're going to give birth in just over a month!" Cao Ying glanced at Xu Jinyu's bulging belly: "Is the child's milk name up?" ”

Xu Jinyu smiled: "Zixi is before leaving." Just think of the child's name. If it is a son, it is called Chen Qi. If it's a daughter, it's called Chen Guan. ”

In fact, Chen Yuanzhao's true words are: After the child is born, as long as the name is given, the full name is not taken. The male is called Brother Qi, and the female is called Sister Guan.

There is a deep meaning hidden in these words. Of course Xu Jinyu understood.

Chen Yuanzhao doesn't want the child to be named Chen. One day in the future, Chen Yuanzhao will get rid of the King of Wei and the King of Chu and sit on the dragon chair, and he will restore his original surname. The child should also be surnamed Murong Cai.

The two sisters-in-law were gossiping.

On this side, Zou is also gossiping with Ye: "Jinniang's father died early, and I can't help but be spoiled by her in the past few years." If she says something wrong or does something wrong, don't be polite. Be sure to teach her well. ”

Ye Shi smiled: "Jin Niang has a gentle and supple temperament. Intelligent, clever, and filial and respectful. I was pregnant just three months after I entered the door, and I just wanted to find fault with it. My mother-in-law taught her so well, I, as a mother-in-law, only have a share of happiness, so what can I teach her. ”

It is easy to tell whether a person speaks genuinely or perfunctory.

It can be seen that Ye is really satisfied with Xu Jinyu, and his words are very sincere.

Zou's mood suddenly became comfortable. The eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile: "You praise me like this, but I accept it disrespectfully." There was a pause. smiled again and said: "I won't tell you, when Sister Xian was just born, I heard that it was a granddaughter, and I was inevitably a little disappointed. But when I saw the child, I really liked it. ”

Ye Shi suddenly heard the song and understood the elegance, and took over the conversation with a smile: "Whether it's a grandson or a granddaughter, it's all grandmother's heart, how can you not like it." In the future, whether Jin Niang gives birth to a son or a daughter, I am equally happy. ”

Zou was relieved: "My mother can think like this, I am relieved." To tell the truth, even if her daughter gets married, the mother is always thinking about it in her heart, lest her daughter be wronged in her husband's family. It is a good fortune for Jin Niang to be able to marry into the Chen family and meet a good mother-in-law. ”

Zou originally felt that the Ye family was arrogant and difficult to get along with, but he was afraid that he would inevitably make things difficult for his daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, the Ye family was very gentle and friendly to Xu Jinyu, and he specially accompanied Xu Jinyu to Xu's house today.

Just for this point, it is enough to show that the Ye family values Xu Jinyu

Xu Zhengxin has a daughter, who is both pity and love, and can't wait to take leave every day to stay at home and accompany his wife and daughter. Unfortunately, it backfired. The court is turbulent, as long as you are in it, you will inevitably be involved, and some things you can't avoid if you want to.

The imperial court is thirsty for talents, and the emperor specially opened Enke for the examination this year. This joyful good deed made all the lifters who were eligible to take the Enko examination ecstatic.

Unexpectedly, this time Enko caused an uproar.

More than a dozen people who failed the entrance examination jointly signed a joint report, revealing that several examiners of the examination secretly leaked the exam questions at a high price. This recital lists one by one the moves of the Jinshi who bought the exam questions at a high price, accounting for one-third of the new Jinshi.

This shocking case of fraud in the field of science and technology has caused an uproar among civil and military officials. The emperor was even more furious, and immediately ordered the criminal department to arrest and put everyone involved in the fold into prison and torture them!

Since the establishment of the Great Yan Dynasty, there has never been such a large-scale scientific expedition fraud. The prison of the Criminal Department has never imprisoned so many new scholars, not to mention, there are a few Hanlin scholars among them.

The Hanlin Academy, which has always had a clear name, has also become the focus of attention for a while.

Although Xu Zheng does not have an official position, after all, he is a member of the Hanlin Academy. On the cusp of such a storm, I dare not be a little lazy, and I am honest every day.

The news of the fraud case in the field is spreading, and everyone in the Hanlin Academy is paying attention to this matter, and every day there are well-informed people who spread all kinds of "definite" news.

"I heard that no, the criminal department used a heavy sentence. Those new science and technology scholars couldn't bear it at all, and they had already confessed. ”

"It's really a fraud in the field. A test question sells for 5,000 taels. Ordinary lifters simply can't afford it, and those who buy exam questions can't afford it. Most of them are wealthy members of the family. ”

"Five thousand taels? Selling more than 30 copies, isn't it more than 100,000 taels of silver! The whisperers gasped.

At present, the family assets of a medium-sized family are only 1,000 taels of silver. More than 100,000 taels of silver, it is definitely a heart-warming huge amount of money. Several examiners divided the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver equally, and each of them also had thirty or forty thousand taels.

Wealth touches people's hearts. In the face of such a temptation, it is no wonder that several Hanlin scholars, who are examiners, will be tempted to take risks.

Xu Zheng naturally heard such news. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the examiner who would have been tested was his father-in-law, Master Cao. Lord Cao was unwell. So he resigned from this errand. Only then did the emperor appoint another examiner. Otherwise, if such a big thing happens, the examiner will not be able to escape the blame at all. At the very least, it is a charge of negligence.

It's a good thing that my father-in-law wasn't implicated, but it's a pity that there is an examiner who is a personal disciple of Lord Cao. After Lord Cao learned of this, he fainted on the spot in anger, and then became even more ill.

Cao Ying is not out of confinement yet. You can't go back to your home.

Xu Zheng has the dual identity of a student and a son-in-law. Naturally, it is incumbent on him to go to Cao's house every day to comfort Master Cao: "Things have happened, no matter how angry you are, it won't help." Fortunately, the father-in-law resigned from the examiner's errand that day, otherwise, the father-in-law would have been implicated and imprisoned. Now the father-in-law doesn't have to worry too much, no matter how angry the emperor is, he won't implicate the father-in-law. ”

Lord Cao was lying on the bed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes on his forehead were clearly visible. Looked tired and old: "Do you really think this matter is that simple?" ”

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that there is still an inside story in this matter?" ”

Master Cao sighed: "I don't know what's going on. But. I guess this won't end so easily. Wait and see, you'll find out soon. ”

Xu Zheng was skeptical.

Unexpectedly, Lord Cao's words became a prophecy!

Half a month later, an examiner couldn't help but torture and confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually the King of Chu!

It is said that these examiners were secretly bribed by the King of Chu, and the leakage of the exam questions was also secretly instructed by the King of Chu. Those movers passed the Jinshi examination through fraud, leaving the handle in the hands of the King of Chu. In the future, they will each enter the six ministries as officials, and they will naturally become the henchmen of the King of Chu.

The king of Chu made this matter deliberately, and his wolf ambition was self-evident.

When Shangshu of the Criminal Department got this confession, his face changed. I didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor, and after trembling and offering a confession, I hung my head and said nothing.

As expected, the emperor's gloomy and angry voice soon came from overhead: "Is this confession true? Are you sure it was the King of Chu who did it? ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't dare to look up at the emperor's face, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this confession was personally interrogated by the two Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department. At first, only one examiner relented, and then several people confessed. There are their paintings on it, and the emperor can see it at a glance. ”

The emperor clutched the confession tightly, his face was extremely ugly, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Come on, immediately announce that the king of Chu will enter the palace!" ”

The king of Chu has eyeliner in the palace and in the criminal department. The moment Shangshu of the Criminal Department entered the palace, he received the latest "progress" in the prison of the Criminal Department. The angry face is blue!

Using the entrance examination to invite people to buy people's hearts and cultivate henchmen to install people was indeed secretly arranged by him. But he is confident that the dripping water is seamless and seamless.

The dozen or so fallen sons jointly played a fold, and his hard work was put to waste. Now, this confession is even more trapped in him!

Who has the ability to secretly find out the truth, and also used Luodi's move to trap him?

A figure quickly flashed in King Chu's mind, and his delicate and weak face suddenly became gloomy and distorted.

King Wei! It must be King Wei!

This second brother, who has endured for many years, is so scheming. He must get rid of this thorn in the flesh, now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing is how to clear the blame, so as not to blame his father angrily

There was a knock on the door of the study!

The king of Chu was angry, distraught, and shouted angrily: "Who? ”

The person outside the door was taken aback: "Your Highness is me." It's almost noon, and I came here to invite His Highness to have lunch together. ”

It's Ye Qiuyun!

King Chu and Ye Qiuyun are cousins and sisters, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. After Ye Qiuyun married into the Chu Palace, the relationship between the two was not warm, but they were also harmonious.

The king of Chu had no coaxing thoughts at this time, and said impatiently: "You eat alone!" ”

Ye Qiuyun was taken aback by King Chu's bad tone, and was a little unwilling, so he softened his voice and said, "Has Your Highness encountered something unpleasant?" Why don't you talk to me, although I can't help much, but it's always better to say it."

In response to her, there was only a cold word: "Get out!" ”

Ye Qiuyun was extremely aggrieved, and retreated with red eyes

This matter has reached such a point that it is absolutely impossible to hide it.

He had to enter the palace to see his father in the shortest possible time. It's impossible to completely get rid of it, find a staff member around you to be a substitute for the dead ghost, and then cry with tears and say that you don't know at all, it's all your subordinates' own opinion. My father will definitely be soft-hearted when he hears this.

My father had already lost his two sons, and he couldn't afford such pain anymore! Moreover, he is the best candidate for the prince. His father would definitely choose to trust him.

After the king of Chu made up his mind, he immediately made a series of arrangements.

When the eunuch who announced the oracle arrived at the palace of the king of Chu, the king of Chu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is my father in such a hurry to summon this king into the palace?" ”

Where did the eunuch dare to speak clearly, and replied vaguely: "The slave invited His Royal Highness to enter the palace on the order of the emperor, and the slave didn't know anything about the rest." I also ask for your understanding. ”

King Chu snorted coldly in his heart, but a gentle smile appeared on his face: "That's it, since you don't know, this king won't embarrass you." This will follow you into the palace. ”

The palace of the king of Chu is very close to the palace, and with only two pillars of incense, the king of Chu entered the Chongzheng Palace.

The secretary of the criminal department is still kneeling in Chongzheng.

The king of Chu pretended to be surprised and glanced at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and then bowed down to say goodbye: "Erchen has seen his father." I don't know what my father is in such a hurry to summon his sons into the palace? ”

The emperor blushed and threw the confession in front of the King of Chu: "The good things you have done yourself, aren't you still unclear in your heart?" Now that a few of them have confessed, I want to see how you can deny it! ”

The king of Chu pretended to pick up the confession in a daze, looked at it a few times, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he knelt down with a plop: "Erchen doesn't know anything about this matter, someone must have secretly framed Erchen, and asked his father to investigate and return his son's innocence!" ”

Innocent?

The emperor looked at King Chu's innocent face full of shock, the anger in his heart decreased slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You really don't know at all? (To be continued.)
