In the main courtyard, Jian Fan and the inner supervisor of the decree are waiting.

The proclamation of the inner prison was Xiazhao, who arrived last night, because it was late at that time, so he did not come. Early this morning, Jian Fan accompanied him.

There is a reason for being in such a hurry.

Pan Ziyu was ordered by his grandfather to deliver a letter to the capital, asking Lu Chang of the Hanlin Academy to speak in front of Emperor Jiaxing, and bewitched Emperor Jiaxing to announce Li Hanyao into the palace.

Lv Chang, the word is smooth, twenty years old, Jiaxing six years champion, handsome appearance, graceful manners, deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, serving the pen and ink in front of the emperor.

Emperor Jiaxing was nineteen years old, and he didn't like to get close to those old ministers who were serious and admonished at every turn, and he liked young courtiers. Moreover, Emperor Jiaxing thought that when his father Emperor Jing Kang first ascended the throne, didn't he also favor young courtiers such as Wang Heng and Liang Xinming? These people later became the henchmen of their father. Emperor Jiaxing also wanted to cultivate his confidants and favored ministers. Influenced by the first emperor, the Jiaxing Emperor especially favored young courtiers who were both talented and good-looking. The new champion Lu Chang stood out because of his handsome appearance and outstanding talent.

When Pan Meilin's case broke out, the news reached Beijing, and Pan Guifei cried and complained to Emperor Jiaxing, asking him to punish the Li family and Li Hanyao.

Emperor Jiaxing was very angry when he heard that a merchant had forced a local official to death, and ordered Jian Fan to investigate the matter thoroughly and play it truthfully.

The next day, Jian and Traditional Music folded into Beijing.

Emperor Jiaxing knew the inside story after looking at the rear, although Pan Meilin was dead, what about the Pan family? What about Pan Guifei? Should it be disposed of or not?

Emperor Jiaxing was very troubled.

Lu Chang took the opportunity to speak to the Son of Heaven.

Lu Chang said: "I heard that Li Hanyao, the daughter of Jiangnan Jinshang, is the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and her intelligence and beauty catch up with Liang Qingyun back then, and she is especially good at economics. ”

Jiaxing Emperor was interested and hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Lu Chang nodded, and counted Li Hanyao's past experience: at the age of eight, she was in charge of the Li family's business, and she became famous for a "picturesque" wild grass brocade, and was known as "the first talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River......

After hearing this, Emperor Jiaxing found that this Li Hanyao was actually the daughter of the Li family, a merchant who had given the "family of goodness" by the royal pen when he first ascended the throne.

Lu Chang said again: "I heard that when the Li family chose a son-in-law, Miss Li set up three levels, and only sent one girl, so she defeated the three great talents in Jiangnan on the chessboard, and shared it with Wang Yan. No man in the world can be a guest of the curtain. ”

Emperor Jiaxing asked urgently: "Which king?" ”

Lu Chang said: "It is the son of Wang Xiang." ”

Emperor Jiaxing's face was full of shock and disbelief.

Lu Chang saw that the Son of Heaven was interested, and took the opportunity to bewitch him: "The first emperor was assisted by Liang Qingyun, and the officials ruled Qingming and Guotai Junan; If the emperor gets Li Hanyao's help, he will definitely be like a tiger. Moreover, let Li Hanyao enter the palace, you can control Pan Guifei Niangniang, and give Guifei Niangniang a lesson, so as not to be pampered and arrogant again......"

Emperor Jiaxing was tempted and thought to himself: Liang Xinming gradually emerged after entering the imperial examination; This Li Hanyao became famous as a young man, and his intelligence and courage are not inferior to Liang Qingyun, and over time, his achievements may be above Liang Qingyun.

Also, Li Hanyao only sent a maid, and she was equal to Wang Yan on the chessboard, so wouldn't she be better at layout?

Only this point, Emperor Jiaxing is difficult to resist.

Wang Yan, that is the thorn in the heart of Emperor Jiaxing.

When Emperor Jiaxing was still the crown prince, because the first emperor and Wang Heng Liang Xinming got along with each other, he attached great importance to Wang Yan, and proposed that he enter the palace as the prince's companion. However, Wang Yan and the crown prince did not hit it off at first sight like their parents. When Liang Xinming entered the palace to teach the prince, Wang Yan also followed. The prince couldn't see that he was stronger than himself, so he fought for wind and face everywhere, and asked him to bow down and be small. It's a pity that although Wang Yan is the son of his subordinates, he is born with pride, which is perfunctory on the surface, but extremely disgusted in his heart.

The prince is not stupid, how can he not see it?

Therefore, the two are at odds with each other.

After Liang Xinming found out, he found an excuse to save his son from entering the palace to study.

Later, Zhang Jinyan returned to Beijing, and his cousins studied together. The first few years were okay, and the two were not famous; In the next two years, it was gradually rumored in the capital how the son of Wang Xiang and the son of King Xuanwu were smart and resourceful, and they were introduced to the palace.

After the prince heard about it, he was about to reiterate the idea of letting Wang Yan and Zhang Jinyan enter the palace to accompany him, but Liang Xinming took the lead and threw his son out to practice. That's seven years. Emperor Jiaxing ascended the throne as the emperor, and he has not seen him yet.

Now that I heard the news of Wang Yan, I naturally paid attention.

Emperor Jiaxing thinks that the woman that Wang Yan failed to conquer, except for himself, who in the world is qualified to accept it? Of course, you have to get into the palace.

He took Lu Chang's advice.

At that moment, he ordered Lu Chang to draft a decree, and sent the internal eunuch to work day and night to rush to Jiangnan to deliver the decree and announce Li Hanyao's entry into the palace. Because Li Hanyao was choosing a son-in-law, he was afraid that he would be late, and the Li family chose a good son-in-law and set up a family affair, which was not easy to do at that time. If you want to forcibly enter the palace, the courtiers will definitely block it, and it is easy to affect the holy name of the Son of Heaven.

The emperor selected a private woman to enter the palace, and this woman was unmarried, and she had not been married, and she was the opponent of the Pan family, the emperor did not favor the Pan family, but promoted this woman into the palace, and the courtiers had no reason to stop her.

Liang Xinming also had nothing to say.

Pan Meilin's plan succeeded as he wished.

When Li Zhuohang heard that the holy decree had arrived, he "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly came out, and saw Jian Fan hugging his fists at him, and said with a smile, "Congratulations", and suddenly his heart sank to the bottom, his body trembled slightly, and his hands and feet were cold.

About entering the palace, he listened to Guanqi.

Yesterday, Luo Wuchen also told him.

He originally thought that the capital and Jiangnan were separated by thousands of miles, no matter how fast Pan Ziyu was, how fast could he go? He was about to tell Li Hanyao that the father and daughter were good at discussing countermeasures. Before he could say anything, the decree arrived.

What can I do?

Entering the palace as a concubine is a great honor for other families, but he only has this one daughter, how can he be willing to send him to the palace?

Li Zhuohang felt that his life had collapsed.

Luo Wuchen also got the news, like being struck by lightning, and regretted: Why didn't you tell Li Hanyao last night? Why take chances?

Li Hanyao didn't know, and when she heard the holy decree, she thought that it was the previous Pan Meilin case, and the result of the court's disposition had arrived, so she hurriedly went to receive the decree.

Facing the rising sun, the Li family knelt down to receive the order.

The inner supervisor read out the holy decree, and Li Hanyao only listened to a few words, and almost broke the appearance of watching chess, and it was so dangerous that he could control himself.

She looked at Guanqi, who was kneeling in front of her, with an inexplicable expression; And Daddy, the look in her eyes yesterday was weird, and she must have known it in advance.

Where did this news come from?

Why do they hide it from themselves?

Li Hanyao thought quickly.

Earlier, Guanqi had already received the holy decree.

Li Zhuohang and his wife got up, forced a smile, and welcomed Jian Fan and the waiter into the upper room to drink tea, and the ink housekeeper was busy giving people rewards.

The servants and wives of the Li family were all overjoyed, and the stewards of the workshop were even more proud - the young owner was about to enter the palace and be a mother, and from then on, the Li family had someone to support them, and they were no longer afraid of being bullied. As for what to do with the Li family's business, it is not for them to worry about, with Master Li's arrangement, they really can't give birth, so they will pass the heirs.

Li Hanyao looked at this situation as if she were in a dream.

Suddenly, she realized something, turned around, and saw Fang Yisheng and other teenagers standing at the door, Wang Yan staring at the chess with deep eyes.
