In the palace, Zhao Yuanrong is also concerned about the bachelor's exam of the Confucian Temple.

When she knew that Ji Ning had participated in this bachelor's exam, she hoped that Ji Ning could be a bachelor's degree, which also proved Ji Ning's strength, but she was afraid that Ji Ning would get a bachelor's degree and stay away from her completely.

Ji Ning packed up his mood and went to the court meeting, just before he arrived at the Wanshou Palace, the people from the Criminal Department came over under the leadership of Zhang Junming, the left minister.

Zhang Junming said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you have to do with the matter of disposing of the clan before, what are your opinions and decisions?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong hesitated a little and said: "Zhang Zuoxiang, there are many things that cannot be forced, I feel that the issue of the clan can be discussed in the long run, now that I have just ascended the throne, and even the official enthronement ceremony has not been held, everything is mainly based on a stable transition." ”

Zhang Junming had a little indifference on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news from the Criminal Department, saying that it is in Huzhou, the prince of Chongwang has been arrested and is being escorted to the capital, I don't know how Your Majesty will deal with the prince of Chongwang?" ”

"What?" Zhao Yuanrong glanced at the people from the Criminal Department, and only then did she know what they meant by coming, it turned out that it was because Zhao Yuanqi was arrested, she was still a little incredulous in her heart, whether from Ji Ning's point of view, or her original promise to King Chong, it should be to let go of the people in King Chong's Mansion, especially the prince of King Chong and Zhao Yuanqi, the lord of Huaizhu County, should not be blamed for the past, after all, King Chong's rebellion has nothing to do with these two.

Zhang Junming said: "Your Majesty, this matter has now spread all over the government and the opposition, I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do?" Please also show it now, so that the criminal department can do things well. ”

"Zhang Zuoxiang, I have already said, there are many things that need to be discussed by me in the long run, you come to ask me now, I think you have the intention of persecuting me, the people of the clan should not be killed, this is a matter of the Zhao family, and it has nothing to do with the courtiers!" Zhao Yuanrong said with a tough attitude.

Zhang Junming showed a slight sneer on his face, and said, "Your Majesty, even if according to what you said, the people of the clan should not be killed, but the remnants of the Chongwang Mansion will threaten your country." There has been a line report from Jiangnan before, saying that someone wants to use the prince of Chongwang to continue to plot chaos, and if King Chongwang is rebellious and becomes the emperor, then the prince of Chongwang is the prince...... He is the beneficiary of this matter, and if he is not punished, I am afraid that the people of the government and the opposition will be unconvinced. ”

Zhao Yuanrong was very entangled in her heart, she thought to herself: "This matter was deliberately made known to the whole court, but in the end, I was told that it was clear that it was to be cut first and then played, and now how can I fulfill my original promise?" This Chongwang prince is still a good friend of Ji Ning, and Ji Ning also reminded me at the beginning that I must not punish the people of Chongwangfu, if I break my word and get fat, I will not have to face Ji Ning in the future. ”

"Let's take a long-term view. Now that the person has been found, I will bring it back to the capital first, I don't want this matter to disturb the court. Zhao Yuanrong said casually, and he was about to go to the court.

At this time, Zhao Yuanrong didn't plan to deal with Zhao Yuanqi directly, but also wanted to give Zhao Yuanqi a chance through some methods, but now the courtiers really want Zhao Yuanqi to die, so that the Chongwang forces can be regarded as completely frozen and collapsed, many people want to follow Zhao Yuanrong to eat, and these people don't want people in the court to endanger Zhao Yuanrong's throne.

Zhao Yuanqi has become Zhao Yuanrong's enemy, at least in the center of the court, so he thinks.

……

……

It was only later that Ji Ning learned that Zhao Yuanqi was searched by the imperial court and was going to be escorted back to the capital.

At this time, the bachelor's exam has not yet been released, and Ji Ning himself has to wait for the news of the bachelor's exam in the capital, and then he is still going to visit Shen Kang, and many things are bothering him.

He also knew that even if he went to help, it would be difficult to help Zhao Yuanqi, because Zhao Yuanqi at this time was under the control of the imperial court, and even Zhao Yuanrong was in a difficult position. Ji Ning thought to herself: "Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the court will definitely put pressure on her to kill the prince of Chongwang directly, and she herself will be very embarrassed now, because she promised King Chong and me that she must not kill the prince of Chongwang and the lord of Huaizhu, she should be very conflicted in her heart." On the one hand, the stability of the court, and on the other hand, the promise, how should she choose? ”

On this issue, Ji Ning didn't want to interfere too much with Zhao Yuanrong's opinion, but he also knew that Zhao Yuanrong would definitely come to ask him about his intentions in the future, and even come in person.

And Ji Ning also wanted to rescue Zhao Yuanqi, but he also knew that doing so was tantamount to saying that he was having a bad relationship with Zhao Yuanrong, and without Zhao Yuanrong's consent, Zhao Yuanqi was always a prisoner of the imperial court, and he couldn't do anything to a criminal of the imperial court.

On the third day after the bachelor's exam, that is, the day of the exam, Ji Ning went to the Temple of Literature as usual, everyone else was concerned about the bachelor's exam, but Ji Ning was concerned about Zhao Yuanqi's affairs, Ji Ning was a little absent-minded at this time, he was sitting in his seat, in fact, he was not thinking about himself at all.

At this moment, a colleague came over and asked, "Yongning, isn't today the day to release the list?" You're not going to the Suzaku Pavilion? You don't have to come here today, and there aren't that many things to do in the Temple of Literature. ”

Ji Ning glanced up at the man and said, "Let's go back, I just came to the Temple of Literature, I couldn't get this kind of start, I just accompanied the prince to study, and there will always be opportunities in the future." ”

After speaking, Ji Ning continued to stare at the desk in a daze, he was still thinking about how to help Zhao Yuanqi's problem.

At this time, a confidant from the Confucian Temple came to Ji Ning and said that someone from the family came to look for him. Ji Ning muttered in his heart: "Why are you looking for me at home?" Could it be that something happened in the house? ”

With some doubts, Ji Ning came out of the Temple of Literature, but when he saw He An at the door, he said, "Master, someone in the house is looking for you, saying that it is a very important matter, and he has written this for you." ”

Ji Ning saw that it was a letter, opened it directly, and frowned after reading it. It was no one else who came to him, it was Zhao Yuanqi's sister Zhao Yuanxuan.

After Zhao Yuanqi was arrested by the imperial court, Zhao Yuanxuan is still safe, and she has no idea, and no one can ask for help, so she can only find a way to return to the capital and find Ji Ning to help.

"Go home." Ji Ning wanted to get into the carriage directly.

He An said: "Master, who is the person who came?" You don't want to stay in the Temple of Literature, today is a big day for the release of the bachelor's list. ”

"This kind of bachelor's exam, I don't know how many times I have to go through it when I go to the Temple of Literature, but now the matter at hand, I don't know if I can meet it again in my life, you know which is more important?" After Ji Ning finished speaking, he said directly, "You are next to you, this time I will catch the car, go back early!" ”
