Xu Ge Lao raised his eyes, without the slightest embarrassment on his face, took out a paper roll from his sleeve, and raised his hands.

"Your Majesty once said that whenever the old man wants to come back, you will not give up, so today you came to ask for your life, what Your Majesty said is exactly what the old man wants, I hope this old bone can help Your Majesty choose a student, and it can be regarded as a little thought in the end."

The old emperor nodded, Fang Jizhong had already sent the paper scroll over, unfolded it and looked at it twice, the old emperor pursed his lips.

"I didn't expect you to keep it."

Elder Xu Ge sighed and seemed to look into the distance.

"Your Majesty back then, really sharp, with this test paper, I searched for a long time but did not find this student, and then until His Majesty told me the truth, I realized that this was actually Your Majesty's handwriting.

Do the math, this is also forty years ago, the family to do the grandson's marriage, tidy up the study, only then did I find this thing, my heart is full of emotion, today to take it is also to give to Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's ambition and courage when he was young. ”

The old emperor rolled up the piece of paper, looked at the crown prince without warning, and asked directly:

"The prince said, can Zhu Xiaochang participate in the imperial examination?"

The prince was stunned and hurriedly bowed down.

"It's all up to my father!"

This sentence came very quickly, it was just the kind of brain that slipped out, the old emperor raised his eyebrows, he could be so fast, obviously he didn't think about it at all.

The third prince looked sideways slightly, looked at Wen Changjin who was standing behind, and saw that he was still an old god, and he didn't raise his eyelids, as if all the things in the imperial study had nothing to do with him.

The third prince looked a little puzzled on his face, after all, Zhu Xiaochang is Wen Changjin's grandson, this is an opportunity that will not be missed, the Wen family has no fate, and if he wants to participate in the imperial examination exceptionally, he naturally needs amnesty, otherwise he really does not have this opportunity.

Just as the third prince was thinking, the old emperor shouted.

"What does Bingxun think about this?"

The third prince hurriedly bowed down and thought for a moment.

"Cousin Yuntang's early death, or to protect the peace of my Daliang border, not to make the hall brother Quanxia uneasy, Erchen thinks this matter is feasible, and it can also let the military attachés of the DPRK and China share the grace."

Wen Changjin, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, and really wanted to applaud this third prince in his heart, this kid was not chaotic in the face of danger, at such a time, he instantly recognized the situation, knew where the crisis was at the moment, and in a few words, it was resolved, and he had a good reputation.

The speed of response is incomparable to the prince, which is why the prince has been repeatedly disliked, and the grounding has been extended and extended, becoming a joke in the palace.

The old emperor smiled, "Bingxun is right, since Xu Ge Lao came forward to intercede, then it is approved, Monk Jingyi wants to open the altar to preach the scriptures, and fight against the monks of the Wa Kingdom, so use this name to give amnesty!"

As for the chief examiner of the imperial examination, let Xu Ge be the elder, and I'm tired after doing it, so let's disperse! ”

Saying and waving his hand, everyone hurriedly retreated, Xu Ge Lao was carried out by the two little eunuchs, these princes and ministers, no one stopped to chat, what kind of character the emperor is, they all know it thoroughly, stay at this time, isn't it uncomfortable.

The prince glanced at Wen Changjin, and saw him walking towards the bottom of the steps, without stopping at all, he thought for a while, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the palace, and couldn't talk much at this time.

Especially when the third prince had already come up from behind, it seemed that he was about to raise his hand to stop the prince, Zhu Bingyu hurriedly turned his hand behind his back, walked a few steps quickly, and walked directly in the direction of the palace gate.

The third prince in the back frowned slightly, under normal circumstances, this eldest brother always likes to stay, and from time to time he contacts these ministers, but what's wrong today, seeing him in a hurry, do you really know what you want to do?

The third prince shook his head, with doubts on his face but did not stop, it is safest to go at this time, and he also left when he thought of it.

The old emperor paused, Fang Jizhong hurriedly stopped, at this time he was about to arrive at the Heart Cultivation Palace, the old emperor looked around, and the little eunuch and palace maid who were waiting next to him hurriedly took two steps back, only Fang Jizhong followed behind the old emperor.

"Alright, are you all gone?"

Fang Jizhong straightened up slightly, looked back at a little eunuch, the man nodded quickly, and Fang Jizhong said:

"It's all gone, there's no stopping or gossiping."

The old emperor seemed surprised, turned around slightly, and looked at Fang Jizhong.

"The prince didn't look for Wen Shangshu, so he left directly?"

Fang Jizhong nodded, "The old slave saw it really, when we didn't leave the garden, the prince had already walked out of the palace, didn't talk to Wen Shangshu, let alone chatted with the third prince who caught up behind, it seemed that he was in a hurry." ”

The old emperor narrowed his eyes, "The crown prince is only submissive, I didn't expect to know the severity this time, could someone give him advice?" ”

Fang Jizhong coughed, no matter how you say it at this time, it's wrong, it's better not to say it.

Sure enough, the old emperor glanced back at Fang Jizhong, who was pretending to be stupid, and took a sip.

"Okay, it's not difficult for you, I can't go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, go directly to Cining Palace to take a look, this Jingyi monk is the person that the Queen Mother has been asking to see, do you find out who mentioned this person in front of the Queen Mother?"

Fang Jizhong shook his head, his face puzzled.

Speaking of this old slave, I was really a little puzzled, the Queen Mother did not have much faith in Buddhism before, and the people from the factory guard came back and said that it seemed that after the palace banquet a few days ago, the Queen Mother always felt that she could not sleep well.

Then I looked for someone from the hospital to see it a few times, and there was no improvement, at this time Cui Mama lit sandalwood, and took out the Qibao bracelet obtained in the early years, and the queen mother slept peacefully, and the treasure chuan seemed to be sent by the wife of the Fujian political envoy. ”

The old emperor was stunned and frowned slightly, how could this person send his wife over to deliver these when he was far away?

"What's going on?"

Fang Jizhong naturally understood what the old emperor meant, and hurriedly bowed down and said:

"Last year, the eldest son of the Fujian political envoy married a wife, and the daughter-in-law became pregnant in the next year, probably because I was worried that the eldest son and grandson would be lost, this is not to let the lady come back to take a look, I didn't go to Wen Shangshu's house, I was afraid that others would gossip, but I just went to the son's house and sat down.

The Queen Mother invited the banquet, this Mrs. Wen did not participate, but asked people to send some rare things, which made the Queen Mother smile, this Seven Treasures Bracelet is one of them, it seems that this thing is obtained from the sea, which is the specific monk or who has opened the light, the old slave is unknown. ”

The old emperor waved his hand, the emperor of Fujian Tiangao was far away, although the Liang did not prohibit maritime trade, but there were not many places engaged in such a place, it seemed that only Ningbo and Fujian were around, there were fishing boats and merchant ships coming and going, what kind of profit was there, the old emperor did not know, but he also knew that the thing was extremely expensive.

"Qibao Handman, it seems that there are seven kinds of treasures, let's go to Cining Palace, I also want to open my eyes!"

Saying that, Fang Jizhong helped the old emperor and walked towards Cining Palace together.

Hearing the simultaneous interpretation, the Queen Mother was surprised, after all, this emperor's son often came to the door when he came in, not like before, he couldn't come over without calling, so he quickly put down the things in his hand and urged:

"Hurry up and send some food, at this hour, I'm afraid the emperor is a little hungry."

As he spoke, the old emperor walked in, "Erchen has seen the queen mother!" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand at the old emperor, "Hurry up, why did the emperor come over?" ”

The old emperor walked to the side of the Queen Mother, sat on the chair next to him, and saw all kinds of snacks sent by Mama Cui, and his face also smiled, these are his favorite things to eat, and they are his favorite things in childhood.

"Today's discussion of political affairs, the Jingyi monk has come to the capital, tomorrow I am going to see him, so I want to come and see my mother, if you also want to see this Jingyi monk, then do not choose to be in the main hall, directly in the Baohe Palace, you can also listen to the monk's lectures."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately smiled, with an excited expression on her face.

"Oh, that's great, the mourners are thinking about it."

Saying that, the Queen Mother took the old emperor's hand, and the cold touch on her wrist made the old emperor lower his eyes.

A string of ornate gemstone bracelets appeared in front of you, and the jewels of all colors were very large and dazzling.

"This handpiece is so chic, it doesn't seem to be the same as the usual one?"
