The first day of April in the second year of Yufeng is a bright spring day, counting the trial list, this is indeed a veritable auspicious day of the zodiac. However, in the eyes of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, the trial release list is simply a trivial matter. Those who were secretly speculating never thought that the Xiao family, which was in power and opposition, would suddenly cause such a catastrophe.

Xiao Yunchao, who had three kinds of people, the Duke of Chengen, the Ministry of Officials, and the Minister of the Guard, actually committed suicide in fear of crime, and this news immediately caused an uproar in the court. Many people even thought that the emperor was joking, but just looking at the faces of those important ministers who could look like frost, they saved the facts. Taking advantage of the emperor's illness to act pretentiously, if he wants to serve the eleventh son of the first emperor and succeed to the throne without hesitation, this crime is not just as easy as losing his head, it is to punish the nine clans! Everyone with a heart cowered and hid their bodies in the crowd, and the emperor on the throne couldn't see any expression on his face, but who would have thought that the emperor would be in a good mood at this time?

Bao Huasheng said with an expressionless face A series of resolutions, which had been agreed before, and there was no room for maneuvering. After this incident, he had already sensed many doubts, but he did not show any doubts at all. The signs of the appearance of the two mysterious men in black were wiped clean, how could he not know what was involved? As the prime minister, what he wants to learn is Haiguanyu's ability to collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing his face, so that he can calm the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also heard that it is really unheard of that there are such rebellious ministers and thieves in the court!" Feng Wuxian said coldly, "The Xiao family is also a big family, and it has repeatedly contributed to the imperial court. Who would have thought that such an unscrupulous disciple as Xiao Yunchao would burst out! He saw that all the officials who had been close to Xiao Yunchao shrank their necks uneasily, and said again, "Through the Queen Mother and I contracted the disease at the same time." It's good for him to act recklessly in the palace in the name of Yizhi. He even summoned the minister to set up a new king, well, my dynasty also has such a "extraordinary, local character!" ”

Listening to the emperor's extraordinarily accentuated rhetoric, the ministers could no longer stand, and fell to their knees in a hulala. All of them said that "ten thousand deaths" are endless. Those officials who were already not on good terms with Xiao Yunchao were secretly happy in their hearts, and they must know that when the Xiao family was in power, they didn't take others into account at all, and now they are suffering, naturally there are many people who are happy and few people who regret it. There were also a few hands and eyes who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the well, but they attracted a reprimand from Bao Huasheng and others, and they had to calm down unwillingly.

The emperor's punishment of the Xiao family soon spread in the capital, and the common people were certainly interested in the inside story, and even the officials were speculating about the affairs of the deep palace. The Emperor was furious though thunderous. But what can happen in front of everyone is extremely limited, and the so-called charges are only vague. However, the Empress Dowager Xiao never came forward. Even Xiao Yunchao's wife wanted to enter the palace to ask for help, but she didn't have any chance at all. This unusual fact makes everyone nervous, and no one knows what else will happen to this accident.

was disturbed by this shocking case, and the originally jubilant Enkobagong became a little sluggish. That group of Zigongsheng had the intention to make a fuss. But they all got a warning from their own teachers, so they had to celebrate a little in the restaurant in a regular manner, where is there still the business spirit of the past? Once the tribute is drawn, there will be a splendid future in the future, and if the palace can get the first and second grades, it will be the status of the court official in a blink of an eye, so at this juncture, no one dares to come nonsense.

Li Junda was one of the examiners this time, and there were many protégés and disciples who came to meet him, but he couldn't lift his spirits no matter what. Thinking of the turmoil in the Gongyuan that day, and then thinking of the palace accident this time, he was already frightened. Although it is true that the emperor values it, it is conceivable that if there was really something wrong with him in the examination room at that time, the emperor would never really protect him. Alas, the Xiao family, which is already unspeakably expensive, has disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he, a small Beijing official, has to be more careful. Only this time the emperor valued him and Fan Hengwen, and he didn't know how much gossip he had incurred, and it was probably more difficult for officials than this.

He was watching absentmindedly when he heard another commotion outside, and he couldn't help frowning. When this mood is not good, you have to go aside for any good thing, and those candidates who used to look good are not good at looking left and right. He put it down casually, and just wanted to call someone to ask what was going on, when he heard a voice outside the door playing: "Master, it's a ,...... from the palace."

Before he finished speaking, Li Junda rushed out in three or two steps, and his heart was already high. At this time, people from the palace really couldn't guess the intention, so Rao was quick-witted, and he was a little confused at this time. He walked quickly to the main hall, and when he saw the familiar figure, he was stunned again. In any case, Xiao Fangzi is now the most useful eunuch in front of the emperor, and he has followed the emperor since Fenghua Palace, so he really shouldn't visit his insignificant official's mansion at this time.

"Grandpa Fang!" Li Junda greeted him with a smile, although the two were familiar with each other before, but now they are not as good as they were at the beginning, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, "You are a busy man in front of the emperor, and you are here in my humble room today, but what is there to help?" He knew that the other party had not come to deliver the decree, so he had a slight hint of ridicule in his words, and single-handedly dismissed all the servants in the hall.

"What a busy person, the left and right are just following the emperor's orders and handling some miscellaneous things." Xiao Fangzi said half-truthfully, he saw that everyone else had retreated, so he sat down with Li Junda and said in a low voice, "This time I came by the emperor's order to ask you a few words." Seeing Li Junda get up and want to kneel, he hurriedly pressed him to the chair and sat down, "It's just a few words of gossip on the order, you don't need to be so nervous." ”

Li Junda smiled awkwardly, and then inquired about the reason. It turned out that Feng Wuxian happened to summon Zhang Shuming, the political envoy of Zhejiang, alone on this day, and suddenly saved the public case of that year, which was inevitably a little disgusted by this person. But the emperor saw that Zhang Shuming spoke extraordinary, and heard that he also had outstanding political achievements in Zhejiang, and even the people who had sent him off when he entered Beijing this time, so he hesitated a little, so he specially sent Xiao Fangzi to ask Li Junda about the true nature of this person.

Li Junda thought about his identity and did not dare to slander others at this time, so he was extremely cautious in his words. "I, Fan Hengwen and Zhang Shuming met by accident, he was poor at that time, but he was very ambitious, and his demeanor was the best choice, so I made friends with Heng Wencai, and Heng Wen's cousin fell in love with him. If it is in terms of knowledge, Zhang Shuming is a first-class, otherwise he would not have explored flowers in high school at the beginning, but the temperament of this climbing dragon and phoenix is really despicable! Speaking of this, Li Junda's anger suddenly came up, but after all, he was much more restrained than Fan Hengwen, so he only turned to other aspects after a brief mention.

Xiao Fangzi naturally distinguishes right from wrong, but he just keeps it in mind and doesn't delve into it. He and Fan Li both have such a relationship, and he is not an ordinary eunuch, but a person who can turn around in poetry, and he has no trace of trust, so no one dares to be arrogant among the officials of the DPRK and China.

At this time, he saw that Li Junda seemed to want to level a bowl of water, and he was still thinking about Zhang Shuming's past, so he couldn't help but interrupt with a smile: "Master Li, you don't need to be so nervous, the emperor is just worried about this person's drill camp, and then he remembered to ask him in the past, so it made you confused." ”

He saw that Li Junda seemed to still have doubts, so he whispered again: "Think about it, he first climbed to the original Zhang University Scholar, and then married the daughter of Lord Tang, and he was also promoted to the political envoy step by step in the officialdom. How can it not be strange that less than ten years of hard work can have such an achievement, and even the current Governor of Zhili, Lord Bi, is not so fast? As if he knew that he was speechless, he hurriedly picked up the tea cup on the side and moistened his throat slightly.

Li Junda's heart suddenly brightened, and he also knew that Zhang Shuming had risen to the top over the years and had been promoted repeatedly, among which the Zhang family and the Tang family had contributed to it, but it was also related to his own talents. Presumably, the emperor also took a fancy to his talent, but he was dissatisfied with his character, so he sent Xiao Fangzi to try it. In this way, not only can you understand Zhang Shuming's past, but also test your own heart, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone. At this moment, he was very glad that he just despised Zhang Shuming's character, but he did not deny his talent, if he changed Fan Hengwen, it should be the same, after all, the temperament of the two of them has always been like this, and they don't like to criticize others behind their backs.

Xiao Fangzi asked a few more words, and then said goodbye and left. When he left the mansion, he met a few tribute students who came to greet the teacher, and when the gang saw Xiao Fangzi's palace clothes, they were all silent, and they didn't enter the Li Mansion until he was far behind, with a shocked look on their faces.

They have long known that their mentor is an old man that the emperor has been accustomed to since the East Palace, and this time they have seen it with their own eyes, and they have more hope for their future, after all, there are more people who flatter Ma Fengchu and Tang Zengyuan, the two main and deputy examiners, and it is better to be serious about this teacher.

At first, Li Junda just responded to these tributes with a strong spirit, but later he also felt his heart lift. These people are all talented people from all over the world, and when they saw the scene just now, they didn't fold up their whole body of spiritual flattery, so they were all clever in their tongues, and they made fun of themselves from time to time, and on the other side, they greeted Li Junda, the teacher, without a trace.

"Alright, rest too!" Li Junda shook his head helplessly and said, "April 26 is the time for the palace exam, you have time to mix with me, it is better to go back and watch more serious." If something goes wrong when you ask questions, your hard work will be in vain. I don't want you to win the tribute so easily, but you still fell to Sun Mountain in the palace exam, you must know that the second and third are very different. ”

Several Gongsheng hurriedly agreed, but they still lingered for a while before leaving, and they were all extremely proud in their hearts. If they hadn't been in a good hurry this time, how would they have known about the teacher's holy grace? With this level of relationship, even if it is a palace test, they have the heart to break through. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 36 Inquiry
