Chapter 1 Zhao Zhengchun explained the court in detail

There is a happy forest outside the capital.

  However, it is surrounded by a red wall, and the inside is only for high-ranking officials and nobles to enjoy the spring, passing by the people can only see the flowers and willows fighting for the pink wall, the warbler swallow obliquely sweeping the branches, only can smell the red makeup and laugh, and the white face sings, it is a fairy place that is difficult to peek at the scene.

  Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Luo sat around the table to bask in the sun and chat, while Zhao Yingying went to play on the swing with Luo Qingyan, the fourth miss of the Luo family, Luo Mei, the sixth lady, and Luo Yu, the eighth lady, and the maid and the maid were guarding on both sides.

  Luo Yu was still young, but he was afraid of waving his hand, Zhao Yingying pouted: "Look at me." She tied the two sleeves tightly with a handkerchief, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on the pedal, grabbed the left and right strings with both hands, and ordered the maid to push.

  The two maids first pushed gently, Zhao Yingying ordered them to work hard, while standing upright with her waist straight, and the pedal under her feet was secretly tightened, and the swing was getting higher and higher, such as flying to the clouds, and suddenly fluttering back, plus the skirt was blown lightly by the wind, but it was as moving as a flying fairy outside the sky.

  "You girl is pretty good at swinging." Luo Cong, the head of the household, looked at the railing and praised. He was invited by Zhao Zhengchun to come to the spring reward, and chose a pavilion in the rockery, while eating and watching the scenery, while chatting some gossip.

  "It's not like everyone's girlfriends." Zhao Zhengchun didn't think so, slipped the lid to eat tea, and saw the embroidery girls standing on the edge of the swing and raising their necks, not seeing Xiao Kite's figure, maybe taking her little sister to the side.

  "It's not good to be lively." Luo Cong looked at him with a smile: "You are also not a small one, and you are not married yet." Take a closer look at the two young ladies in my family, if you like it, you can send the official media to propose marriage. ”

  Zhao Zhengchun swept it lightly, smiled and said nothing, Luo Congxiao didn't take a fancy to it, and was unwilling to ask: "It is rumored that you have the mind of Princess Shang, but is it true?" ”

  "Exaggeration." Zhao Zhengchun frowned: "The emperor is still young, the vassal king is eyeing him, his colleagues are in turmoil, and they all have ghosts. ”

  As he was talking, he suddenly saw a close man running along the mountain road out of breath, and handed over a letterhead: "Lin Fengyuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, sent someone to deliver it urgently." ”

  Zhao Zhengchun opened it and flipped through it, and gave the letterhead to Luo Cong, Luo Cong was shocked after taking it: "In the early court today, Shen Shangshu and a group of officials impeached Han Xianchun for accepting bribes and selling questions, and the emperor was furious, and immediately sealed the examination institute, and ordered the captain of Dongchang to detain Han Liao and the two candidates in prison pending investigation. ”

  Zhao Zhengchun was overjoyed and angry, held the pot and poured tea, and said calmly: "Han Liao is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the Shaobao of the Zhan Mansion, and he obeys the emperor's orders everywhere. Then he asked, "What is the background of those two candidates?" ”

  Luo Cong turned to the bottom and said: "One is Lu Wushuang, the son of Yangzhou salt merchant Lu Dafu. ”

  "Sure enough." Zhao Zhengchun bowed his head: "What about the other position?" ”

  "The township test Xie Yuan from Fuchun Town, Hangzhou, Xiao Huang!"

  Zhao Zhengchun had a cup of tea in his hand: "Xiao Tuan in Fuchun Town?!" ”

  Luo Cong said: "Exactly, it's a pity, it's a pity that I have a full stomach full of talent, and I am afraid that this time I will have no life." ”

  Yue Zhengchun asked the steward on the side: "The embroidered lady surnamed Xiao is in the garden now?" ”

  The steward replied: "I asked someone to take leave early in the morning, and I couldn't come with me because there was an emergency at home." ”

  I see. Zhao Zhengchun put down the teacup, stood up and left, Luo Cong hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

  "Back to the Ministry of Officials!" As he spoke, he was far away.
