On April 11, the imperial army officially set out.

There was a hustle and bustle outside the city all day, the emperor sacrificed to the sky, and hundreds of officials drove the army to the army, and Liu Yu had nothing to do.

The emperor decreed earlier, Liu Yu was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and Li Yannian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Yi Chengjian, a scholar of Chinese culture, and some academic and political officials of the Ministry of Rites were assisted to make every effort to do a good job in the selection of candidates for the first imperial examination since the new emperor ascended the throne. This imperial examination not only has liberal arts, but also martial arts, which have not been held in the past few sessions, and the scale is not inferior to before.

Some important official positions in the imperial court, because of the many transfers of the army this time. Sui Yi, as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion from the first grade, concurrently served as the deputy capital of the imperial history, and temporarily ruled the Metropolitan Inspectorate. Sui Yi had done this errand before, and it was only natural for the emperor to use him. In addition to the transfer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there have also been many changes in the generals of the Yamen of the Internal Defense Department in the city, and many officials who originally belonged to Li Mi's family have been transferred, and Su Yan's purpose of controlling the Internal Defense Department has been obvious.

Together with the president of the Imperial Forest Army, Liu Yu has not seen him for many days.

Liu Yu handed over the Qin prisoner, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Hui to the Criminal Department, and at the same time explained to the emperor in an official document, explaining the location and reason why the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was arrested, etc., and Yang Lie's secret service gave Qian Hui the initial charge of "treason", which needs to be further verified by the Criminal Department. One day later, Liu Yu heard that the emperor had tried the money back, and there seemed to be something unpleasant in the hall, but the people in the palace were secretive about the details.

Liu Yu smiled indifferently in his heart, which was also the result he had expected a long time ago.

On April 13, there were still six days before Liu Yu married the fourteenth princess Qi'er, and there were only two days left before the imperial examination began. These days, Liu Yu is very idle. I have time to come back to spend time with my family almost every day.

Liu Yu asked the new wife to enter the door. It was supposed to be a concubine. But because of the identity of the fourteenth princess Qi'er, no one dared to treat her as a concubine. Xu Xuanzhu, the wife, didn't say anything, she seemed to understand Liu Yu very well, and she was also helping to prepare for some things that were ready to welcome newcomers into the door, but Han Xiaoyi and Han Xiaoting were a little jealous, probably because they felt that Qi'er would dilute Liu Yu's love for them when they entered the door, so that these days, they are particularly obsessed with Liu Yu every time they see them.

At noon on April 13. Liu Yu came home from the opera garden, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of chirping. A group of little female soldiers were hugging a person and asking for warmth, Liu Yu walked over and found Xu Caihua's big face. Because of the relationship between Xu Caihua and Xu Xuanzhu, the female army is also considered to be Liu Yu's descendant troops, and Min Shaoqing simply did not let the female army accompany the army, so that Xu Caihua still stayed in the capital for the time being, in the name of "training", but in fact there was nothing to do.

"Sister Cauliflower, Sister Cauliflower. How did you hit him? Let's take a closer look. ”

Seeing Liu Yu coming, the female soldiers quickly kept silent. But there is a clumsy eye, Lu Chuer is still asking Xu Caihua about the details of the "domestic violence" at home to satisfy her extremely gossip heart.

Seeing that the sisters around her looked wrong, Lu Chu'er quickly turned around and said in horror: "Uncle......"

Liu Yu ignored her, and smiled faintly at Xu Caihua: "Vice Marshal Xu, come back to see the little sister?" ”

Xu Caihua grinned and said, "This time, not only am I here, but also my family's bastard, he will come over after finishing his business." By the way, Uncle, our female soldiers have almost trained their muskets, why don't you have time to go over and give me some advice? ”

It was already very dangerous to let those delicate little female soldiers play with muskets, and Liu Yue didn't want to watch such a "miserable" exercise.

"No need, Vice Marshal Xu, let Wang Hu come and look for me in the study. I won't disturb you to say goodbye. ”

Liu Yu walked to the door, and Cai Yingnu was coming out with a teapot and teacup, ready to entertain Xu Caihua. Liu Yu asked, "What about your general?" ”

"General?" Cai Yingnu pouted at Menri, "Inside." ”

Xu Caihua rarely came back to save her relatives, Xu Xuanzhu didn't come out to greet her, Liu Yu originally thought she had something important to do, but when she went in, she realized that she was learning embroidery with the Han sisters, and Sui Yu was also there.

"Madam, Vice Marshal Xu came to the house as a guest, why didn't he entertain him?" Liu Yu asked.

"What's the point of entertaining her?" Xu Xuanzhu said with a smile, "Cauliflower regards this place as her own home, and it is more slippery than her own yard when she goes in and out, and she can't sit still if she wants her to sit down and have a cup of tea." Just let her walk around. ”

Liu Yuxin said that this Xu Caihua is really welcome.

Xu Xuanzhu picked up an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with flowers and birds and showed it to Liu Yu, and asked, "Husband, this embroidered handkerchief was embroidered by the concubine herself?" Luckily? ”

"Very good." Liu Yu just glanced at it and said perfunctorily.

In fact, the main purpose of his return at noon was to eat, and after glancing at Sui Yu, Xu Xuanzhu said happily: "Since the husband likes it, it will be a gift for the husband as a concubine." ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and Xu Xuanzhu embroidered to embroider for him to marry a bride and enter the door. Liu Yu saw that all the women in the room, along with the maid, were watching his reaction, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Madam, look, Miss Sui is also there, so I won't mention this matter for now." Let's eat first, Miss Sui, please. ”

When they arrived at the dinner table, the Han sisters surrounded Liu Yu on the left and right, scrambling to serve Liu Yu with food, and Liu Yu was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm. Liu Yu looked at Sui Yu as if asking for help, hoping that she would say something to divert the attention of the Han sisters.

"General Liu." Sui Yu understood Liu Yu's intentions very well, and said, "This time, I came to submit some shops to apply to join the pilot list of silver tickets, because silver tickets are convenient and universal, and now many shops in Chang'an City want to try this kind of convenient and light-cost coins." I don't know if the imperial court is ready to expand the scope of the pilot? ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "No problem." It's just that...... How's the progress of the Silver Horn construction? ”

"There are four in Chang'an City, and there are six outside the city, which should be enough for the exchange of silver money."

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Far from enough, judging from the implementation of paper money in Huaidi, the ordinary people rely heavily on the silver number, and the silver number must not only be used as a money bank for exchanging coins, but also for deposits and loans, just a few are definitely not enough." In addition, it is not only necessary to increase the construction of the silver trumpet, but also to cultivate some knowledgeable shopkeepers and associates. ”

Liu Yu said as he spoke, Sui Yu nodded, and was silently reciting, as if he was rote memorizing.

After eating, Sui Yu was about to say goodbye and leave, Xu Xuanzhu sent the guests out, and Xu Caihua shouted at this time that she was hungry and came in to find food. Seeing the leftovers on the table, Xu Caihua scratched her head and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook by myself." Then he went to have dinner with the little female soldier.

Soon, Wang Hu's face appeared in front of Liu Yu's eyes, since he married Xu Caihua, Wang Hu has completely changed from a gentleman to a strict wife, and the original edges and corners have been smoothed out, and people are a little sluggish.

When he arrived at the study, Wang Hu begged: "Sir, the student is instructed by his father to ask Mr. for instructions, so that the student can also participate in this big exam." ”

"Do you want to take the Jinshi exam again?" Liu Yu asked with a pretending to be confused.

"No, students want to follow you, learn how to choose materials and abilities." Wang Hu said respectfully, "Students in the Criminal Department, all they learn is to investigate cases, interrogate prisoners, and how to take care of prisoners, which has nothing to do with what they have learned before. My father's intention is to let me take care of more academic matters, so that I can stand in the court with my talents in the future...... It is also good to shine on the lintel. ”

Liu Yu nodded, to say that Wang Hu's father Wang Jian also considered his son, when Wang Hu completed his studies, Wang Jian did not plan to let him enter the Criminal Department, but Wang Hu was later unsuccessful in other yamen, so he was called by Wang Jian to work under him, thinking that he could take care of his son's career. The only seedling of the Wang family, Wang Jian has high expectations for his son, and it can be seen from Wang Jian's ability to endure Xu Caihua's roughness and marry her as a daughter-in-law, how much he values Wang Hu's future.

"Okay, then you can come to the Ministry of Rites for the time being, and I'll tell your father."

Wang Hu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sir." ”

Liu Yu asked Wang Hu to sit down and asked him about the recent situation after his marriage to Xu Caihua, Wang Hu sighed and said: "My wife was out on the expedition for a few months, my life was better, and I could still drink on weekdays." But when she came back, not only did she not let me drink, but she also had to sleep every night before entering the shift, and even making out with the concubine had to be approved by her, and she was punched and kicked at every turn. I have a lot of injuries on my body. ”

Liu Yu was very sympathetic to Wang Hu's plight, and the change in his temperament was completely oppressed by force. However, thinking of Wang Hu's previous bad deeds, the sympathy in Liu Yu's heart turned into disdain, and he secretly scolded: He deserves it.

"Are you investigating the assassination of the envoy?" Liu Yu asked.

Wang Hu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, my father said that this matter is not allowed to be asked again in the future, and the students will not dare to investigate again." But sir, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say. ”

Seeing Wang Hu spitting and spitting, Liu Yu said: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

"That's the case, yesterday the emperor personally tried the criminal Qian Hui, but Qian Hui said a word in the court, which made the court quite unhappy. Qian Hui was escorted back to the cell of the Criminal Department, and someone came from the Imperial Forest Army last night, and Qian Hui found himself hanged in his cell this morning. ”

Liu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Do you know what Qian Hui said?" ”

"That's exactly what the students have to say." Wang Hu said, "My father was also at the scene yesterday, he said that Qian Hui said in front of the emperor that the first emperor was preparing to pass on the throne to the king of Chu, and was usurped by you, Mr., to establish the current emperor." There were many ministers present at the time, and they all thought it was incredible. ”

Liu Yue knew that Qian Hui suddenly left the King of Chu and was captured, and the original confession was basically biting people. When he meets the emperor, he will tell the truth. This shows that before the death of the former emperor, Qian Hui did have an explanation for the heir to the throne.

"Then what did the emperor say at that time?"

The emperor didn't speak, but Yuan Xiang immediately refuted it, saying that he was also present when the emperor made the edict, and you didn't tamper with it, sir. But Qian Hui was still not convinced, and was taken off by the Royal Forest Army and escorted back to the prison cell of the Criminal Department, which ...... Sir, don't worry, the DPRK and China believe in your personality and will never believe the nonsense of that offending official! (To be continued......)
