Xiao Qi and Xiao Lingyan's people were very surprised, and said, "Why is he?" ”

Among the six princes of Xiao Qi, except for the sixth prince who is still a child, the one with the least sense of existence is the fourth prince Xiao Linghan.

The other four princes, not to mention the crown prince, the second and fifth princes are all from Cen Guifei, Cen Guifei has a high position, is in charge of the middle palace, and the Cen family is not small, and they are the two princes that the courtiers cannot ignore.

Although the mother of the third prince, Concubine Jin's mother's family, is not as good as the Cen family, but it also has a certain amount of power. In addition, she has won the favor of saints over the years, and the emperor has obviously shown his preference for the three princes, and there are many people who have stood in line with them over the years.

The mother of the four princes, Concubine De, is not visible or favored, and the presence of the four princes and Concubine De is not strong.

Unexpectedly, he was the instigator behind this incident.

Xiao Qi stared at the three words on the desk, raised his head and asked, "Apart from you, who else is investigating Zhang Li?" The matter of Xianquan County, who did it? ”

The imperial guard said with some uncertainty: "The subordinates have followed a few times, but they have been dumped by others, and those people's skills are similar to those of the subordinates. Looking at the style of acting, it is also very similar to his subordinates, and the affairs of Xianquan County are also extremely hidden. ”

Xiao Qi was surprised.

Needless to say, he knew that it was his sons who were investigating Zhang Li.

The guards seemed to have something to say, and they stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, I will forgive you for your innocence." Xiao Qi said.

Whenever the guards showed such expressions, they must have found something, but it was just that it was difficult to speak, for fear that he would be angry and angry.

Only then did the imperial guard say: "Among the people who investigated Zhang Li, there is a subordinate who knows, and he is a person from the Third Highness. ”

"The third?" Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the words "Four Princes" again.

"Are you sure that this Wang Dingwu is the fourth prince and not the third prince?" He asked.

Wang Dingwu is the person who handed Zhang Li the news for help.

He is just a miscellaneous officer in the ministry, with only seven ranks, and he is a very inconspicuous small role. He neither went to the court, nor did it take his turn to participate in political affairs, so his factional tendencies were not obvious.

It also took a lot of effort for the guards to find out that he was the person of the fourth prince.

But is this really the truth? Isn't it that the third prince wants to divert his attention and throw the blame to the fourth prince, deliberately releasing a trick?

"Subordinate...... Up in the air. The guards quickly kowtowed.

"Look down." Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "The group of people who checked with you have also found out their identities." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Qi still had to investigate further, but Xiao Lingyan's side achieved his goal, so that his subordinates all withdrew, and did not follow Zhang Li again, so that the imperial guards in the palace had no clues to investigate.

But what Zhang Li did in Xianquan County, he made it all revealed and made it public. It immediately caused an uproar in Xianquan County.

Xiao Qi was about to find an opportunity to remove Zhang Li, but as soon as the matter in Xianquan County came out, he immediately took off Zhang Li's black gauze hat and put him in prison, and sent officials from the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Xianquan County.

All of a sudden, the court and the candidates were all talking, all kinds of speculations, and there were all kinds of things.

Zhao Ruxi looked at the letter written by Xiao Lingyan, tilted his head and smiled, and replied to him with two words: "Thank you." ”

She agrees with Xiao Lingyan that it doesn't matter whether the master behind Zhang Li is the third prince, the fourth prince or the crown prince. Anyway, when the time comes, as soon as the Xiao Lingyan brothers make a move, these people will all have to become cannon fodder, and any accounts will be written off, so there is no need to worry about them now.

The county has tried, and she still has to take the prefectural exam. If the government has tried to win the child, the hospital test is also close at hand. She's too busy to pay attention to it.

In addition to training provincial officials, she spent the rest of her time at the Bac Ninh Girls' Academy, asking her masters to give her special training before the exam.

Zhao Yuanxun went to Dali Temple to report on the second day after receiving the holy decree. When he went down that night, he wore a brand-new six-grade official uniform to visit the head of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was frightened.

"Yuanxun, what are you ......" The patriarch of the Zhao family pointed to Zhao Yuanxun's official uniform, shocked and undecided.

You must know that Zhao Yuanxun's official position was originally taken off by the emperor. No matter how connected Zhao Yuanxun is, without the emperor's speech, he can no longer be an official.

The Zhao family thought that Zhao Yuanxun would only be idle at home for the rest of his life.

Who knew that he suddenly became an official, and he was still a sixth grade.

"Yesterday, the emperor decreed that I should be given the post of deputy of Dali Temple, Dali Temple, and Zuosi Temple. I took office today, and I came to tell the patriarch that I knew. ”

Zhao Yuanxun raised his hand and arched, his spirit was high, and his slightly pale face was flushed.

As soon as he heard that it was the emperor's decree, the patriarch was relieved, but he became more and more confused in his heart.

Why did the emperor suddenly issue an order to give Zhao Yuanxun an official, and he also gave a six-grade official at once? Isn't it his daughter Zhao Ruxi who took the second place in the county exam? But the county exam is two exams in three years, not to mention the second place, that is, there are many cases in the capital, and I haven't seen anyone's father who has been given an official.

"Congratulations, ah, it's okay now, Grandpa Guo knows how happy he is underground." The patriarch laughed.

Knowing that it was not easy to ask, he still couldn't help asking: "I just don't know why the emperor gave you this official?" ”

Zhao Yuanxun arched his hand in the direction of the palace: "Yuanxun doesn't dare to figure out the holy will. I only know that the emperor is wise. ”

In a word, many of the patriarch's speculations were choked in his throat.

As early as when Zhao Yuankun had a conflict with Bofu, and the patriarchs and clan elders favored Zhao Yuankun, Zhao Yuanxun didn't have a good impression of them. Usually, even if you are bored and want to walk around the clan, you will never come to the patriarch's house.

I came here because there is a rule in the clan that the children of the Zhao family have to report to the clan when they encounter a major event. He became a six-rank official, which is definitely a big deal, so he came over to talk about it.

He didn't want to say more to the patriarch, so he stood up and said goodbye: "I'm just here to tell the patriarch, nothing else." There is still something to do at home, so I will leave first. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for the patriarch to say anything, he raised his feet and left.

The patriarch looked at Zhao Yuanxun's back, his face was red and blue for a while, very good-looking.

Zhao Yuanxun came to the clan in an official uniform to walk around, and in less than half an hour, the entire clan knew about it.

The doors of the second and third rooms were close to the clansmen, and they also heard about it.

After Zhao Yuankun was beaten and his official position was lifted, he stayed at home in a state of confusion, beating and scolding his subordinates from time to time, and taking down people to get angry.

Originally, he was suppressed by his mother-in-law, and he always held hope in his heart, thinking that as long as his mother-in-law died, or because of some relationship and the family was separated, he would be able to leap into the sea and let the birds fly, and he could show his ambitions and soar to the sky.

As a result, Suipingbo's Mansion was divided, and he became an official as he wished. Unexpectedly, this official was dismissed by Zhao Ruxi after less than two months, and his road to prosperity was cut off.

It can be said that he still held on to hope when he was not separated, but when he was separated, he was left with despair.

This is worse for an ambitious person than killing him.

So his wife Su and his subordinates became Zhao Yuankun's punching bag, beating and scolding at every turn, and he couldn't live in peace in the three-room house for a moment.
