Chapter 65: The Tribute Courtyard Guanren

Time passed little by little, tomorrow is the day of spring, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Laosan are still wandering on the street, and Tang Songling in front of them is also happy, as if something big is about to happen.

Xiangxin also appeared in the East Palace at this time, seeing that the sky was getting darker a little, Li Chengqian finally rushed back from the palace, and Xiangxin hurriedly asked, "How is it, is the matter done?" ”

Before Li Chengqian could speak, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were waiting outside the East Palace rushed in and surrounded Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, tomorrow is the day of the Spring Festival, why don't you hand over the exam questions to us today!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded in the direction of satisfaction, then turned his head to look at the officials of the Ministry of Rites and said, "Don't worry, I will hand over the exam questions to you later, but I have to wait for my soldiers to arrive!" ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian walked towards the study without looking back, and followed Li Chengqian to the study, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites outside were also very anxious, and wanted to ask Li Chengqian, but they were locked out of the study.

In the study, Li Chengqian carefully looked at the details inside, and after carefully confirming it again and again, Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, looked at the follow-up and said: "Sure enough, it was turned over, it seems that my East Palace is not safe!" ”

Satisfaction was also a little surprised, after all, there were not many people in the East Palace, but now there were spies, and said with a little question: "Prince, who do you think it will be?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't know who it was, shook his head and said: "I don't know who it will be, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought that someone in the East Palace would come to turn over the test papers, and this person is as careful as a hair, if it weren't for me repeatedly confirming that the position of this hair has changed, I wouldn't dare to confirm that someone has turned over my study." ”

Chengxin looked at the hair in Li Chengqian's hand and nodded, he didn't care about it, after all, the matter in front of him was the most important thing, and he pointed to the group of black shadows outside the door and said, "What do those people outside say, just let them wait like this?" ”

Li Chengqian still looked worried, always thinking about the traitor in the house, and said absent-mindedly: "Let them wait, I have already asked Instructor Liang to call Cheng Chumo to bring the troops over, and I will go out when they come!" You said that there are thieves in my East Palace, I feel very unsteady in my heart! ”

Xiangxin comforted on the side: "It doesn't have to be the palace maid and eunuch in the palace, it may be someone from outside the palace who found a way to get in, after all, with the strength of King Wu and King Wei, it is not difficult to send two people into the palace!" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, still very confident and said: "It's very simple to enter the palace, but it's not so simple to enter my East Palace, my father told me that he buried a lot of eyeliner near the East Palace, just to protect my safety, if there are strangers who can enter my East Palace at will today to rummage over things, then tomorrow they can go to my bedroom and take off my head!" ”

Cheng Xin also became serious, and said with some concern: "Then what do you say, you can't drive all the subordinates out for a batch, and no one can guarantee that the next batch will not have their eyeliner." ”

Li Chengqian is also very helpless, these palace maids and eunuchs have been serving in the East Palace, and they have been serving respectfully when he was most frustrated, and now this group of familiar manpower suddenly has an inner traitor, this feeling is indeed uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Cheng Chumo to come to the outside of the East Palace with a hundred elite soldiers, at this time the prince's soldiers were no longer what they used to be, although they simply changed their station, but the equipment configuration had been completely updated, and the heavy armor and the swords and guns made of stainless steel after the Mo family had improved have made this team now sharp.

Cheng Chumo entered the East Palace alone under the leadership of Brother Liang, and the group of officials of the Ministry of Rites also quieted down from the noisy quarrel when they saw Cheng Chumo's arrival.

After crossing the crowd, Cheng Chumo knocked on the door of the study and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen Cheng Chumo is here with troops!" ”

The door of the house was opened, and Li Chengqian walked behind and came out.

When Li Chengqian went out, the group of officials from the Ministry of Rites started to talk to him again, surrounding Li Chengqian and not letting him go, saying that it would be too late if he didn't bring the exam questions over.

Li Chengqian felt confident when he saw Cheng Chumo coming, took out a big envelope from his cuff and threw it on the chest of an official who looked familiar, looked at the side with disdain and said: "Take it, this is the exam question for tomorrow's spring, if you miss the question or lose it, be careful that I will trouble you!" ”

The official hurriedly looked at the envelope in his hand, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites on the side also came over and wanted to open it, but Li Chengqian, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "Who dares to open it before the spring exam starts tomorrow, be careful of losing your head!" ”

The others also avoided immediately, and the official also felt that the exam questions in his hand had become a hot potato at this time, and he wanted to hand them to others but no one wanted to pick them up, so they all hid and walked out.

The official also ran to Li Chengqian's side in three steps and two steps, and said cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't let us open the marking papers, then how can our officials copy the test papers?" It's not good for students to take exams! ”

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You have your own arrangements, just follow me." ”

Out of the East Palace, Li Chengqian looked at the hundred people and looked at Cheng Chumo on the side and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you ask you to bring two hundred people?" No matter how you look at it, there are not 200 people! ”

Cheng Chumo also hurriedly replied: "There are still a hundred people waiting outside the palace, the brother who guards the door knows me and let me in, we don't have the emperor's will, and we don't have a token to enter and leave the palace, so it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”

Li Chengqian walked in front quietly, followed by Chengxin and Cheng Chumo, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were caught in the middle of this hundred soldiers the moment they left the East Palace, shouting insulting Sven, while wanting Li Chengqian to give an explanation, but Li Chengqian was a rare outbreak of domineering, ignoring this group of clamoring officials.

After leaving the palace, Li Chengqian saw Wei Chi Baolin waiting outside and a hundred elite soldiers under him, and after saying hello, these two hundred elite soldiers escorted the ten officials to the house opposite the Gongyuan, and after they were locked in, the two hundred elite soldiers surrounded them layer by layer outside, and Li Chengqian and Xiangxin also followed into the house.

The officials were also very helpless, and when they saw Li Chengqian also coming in, they immediately surrounded them and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why is this why you are locking us in this house!" ”

The others also said, "It's like, what are you going to do with us locked up?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and looked like a prodigal, and shouted towards the door: "Cheng Chumo, open the door!" ”

Cheng Chumo heard Li Chengqian's order, and immediately opened the courtyard door, Li Chengqian pointed to the street outside, and said domineeringly: "I'll give you this opportunity now, if you want to leave, just leave now, just come here tomorrow morning, opposite is the Gongyuan I think you are all familiar with, do you have any questions!" ”

The noisy crowd fell silent, and the official with the test questions said cautiously, "Can I go out with the test papers?" ”

Li Chengqian's face was full of playful and sadistic feelings, and he asked rhetorically: "Why are you so interested in this test paper, is it possible that you want to pass the test questions to whom?" Or who paid you anything to give him the papers? ”

The official hurriedly denied it, shook his head and said, "How come, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are too worried, I want to give it to Lord Shangshu, after all, every imperial examination requires Lord Shangshu to confirm the test questions before the test papers can be issued, I think this time will not be an exception!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't answer him, pointed to the wide open door and said: "If you want to leave, hurry up, just come on time tomorrow, don't blame me for keeping you here, this is your voluntary stay here!" ”

Li Chengqian's words were very clear, but no one left this group of people with ghosts, they all looked at each other, wanting to see others come out and coax themselves, but none of them dared to speak loudly, Li Chengqian waited for a long time to see that no one spoke, and after snorting coldly, he said in the direction of the door: "Close the door!" ”

The door closed in response, and the quiet atmosphere in the courtyard became noisy again, Li Chengqian was also a little annoyed when he heard the crooked appearance of this group of officials, snatched the test questions in the hands of the officials, and said to the door: "Come in two people!" ”
