The prince looked back and saw that it was Li Linfu who led a group of cronies to salute him. Yu Guang saw that Zhang Liangdi's delicate face was faintly unhappy, and the prince's wood-like feelings actually pulled out a little sprout, he smiled slightly, and said to Li Linfu: "The right minister is fine." ”

Seeing that Li Linfu and the others had arrived, Xiao Jiangyuan stopped talking to the prince, and after sending them off, he led Li Linfu and the others back to the palace.

The prince looked at the backs of Li Linfu and others, and suddenly heard Zhang Liangdi ask:

"The concubine only knows the right minister, I don't know who the others are?"

After listening to the prince's patient introduction, Zhang Liangdi smiled and said, "The concubine has memorized everything." ”

She remembered their names: Li Linfu, Yang Shenjin, Wang, Ji Wen, Yang Zhao.

As early as when she learned the meaning of the saint from her grandmother's mouth, she understood that since the saint chose her as the new prince Liangdi, that is, he was determined to protect the prince. As long as the saint's heart remains unchanged, it is useless for those rebellious ministers and thieves to do more. She waited for them to cocoon themselves and go step by step towards decay and perdition.

None of them could escape.

And her husband will definitely reach the peak of imperial power, and she will definitely become the only queen who will stand side by side with him, holding the power and the mother of the world!

"The concubine will guard His Highness, guard the East Palace, and don't let them hurt us again." Zhang Liangdi's voice was extremely soft, but she still let the prince hear it clearly.

The prince glanced at Zhang Liangdi unexpectedly, took the initiative to take her hand for the first time, and set off back to the East Palace.

The safety of the East Palace, why should a weak woman protect it? This is naïve, but the prince doesn't think it's funny, especially after the marriage change between the crown princess Wei and Du Liangdi, he can still hear such words from the mouths of his wife and concubine, and the prince can't be said to be comforted.

His father really chose a good woman for him, but in this matter alone, he was truly grateful.

Even Zhang Liangdi, a young woman, can understand what Li Longji means, let alone Li Linfu, who can be the roundworm in Li Longji's abdomen?

But he has no other way to go, in order to keep his power and status to the death, he can only continue to rely on Li Longji, who is manipulating the chessboard, and maintain opposition with the crown prince.

Even if you know that you will fail, or whether you succeed or fail, you have to give it a try, just because he is him, he should be so Once upon a time, such sobriety, Li Linfu had only seen it in Zhang Jiuling.

What kind of fate and fate should it be said, they were once old enemies, but after many years, they actually went to the same end.

But Li Linfu and Zhang Jiuling are different after all, when Zhang Jiuling made a choice in the past, he did not let go and leave the officialdom, but Li Linfu was absolutely unwilling.

Even if he died, he had to die in phase.

Seeing that after Li Linfu saw Zhang Liangdi, the smile on his lips was a little more self-deprecating, and it didn't disappear until he met Li Longji, Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head secretly.

This diligent government affairs in the building is for the imperial examination at the beginning of Tianbao's sixth year. In the past, when he was diligent in government, Li Longji was still not responsible for everything, but now he has no mind to take care of more specific government affairs. Anyway, the imperial examination has stabilized, and Li Linfu is in charge, so there will be no chaos, so Li Longji asked Li Linfu to make his own decision, and he went straight to the Calyx Xianghui Building, where the concubine was still waiting.

Xiao Jiangyuan stayed as Li Longji's eyes and ears, but he didn't listen to it for long. Li Longji is not here, if Li Linfu and the others have anything to say, they can go back to their own place to say it, there is no point in staying here. But even so, she still found some clues.

Li Linfu's cronies are not monolithic. Although Yang Shenjin and Wang have a cousin and nephew relationship between the two imperial historians, they are obviously not in harmony, and the relationship between the two superintendents of the imperial history Ji Wen and Yang Zhao is not bad, but when Li Linfu is inclined to Yang Zhao, Ji Wen's expression will still be a little unnatural.

Forget about anything else, Xiao Jiangyuan really can't figure it out, how could Li Linfu look down on Yang Zhao.

Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan personally send him out of the palace, Li Linfu knew that she had doubts in her heart. He also knew what she wanted to ask, so when she spoke, he was not surprised at all, approached her, and said in a low voice: "First, the saint has a very good impression of him, and second, as a relative and a relative of the concubine's family, he is better to talk to the saint than me, and third, ...... He is just a gambler who can settle accounts, even if he becomes an official in the court, or even ascends to a high position, he will not pose too much threat to me like others. ”

Although these three reasons are valid, Xiao Jiangyuan was a little unimpressed after hearing it.

It was the first time for Li Linfu to see that Xiao Jiangyuan showed a dislike attitude towards a certain courtier: "...... How did he offend you? ”

"He didn't offend me."

"Then it's the sin of the Zhang brothers." Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan did not deny it, Li Linfu smiled and said, "What kind of festival is it that makes General Xiao remember it for so many years?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed a little helplessly: "I never deliberately remembered it, but when I saw Yang Yushi, I remembered it again." ”

"Think how honest I am with you, I will say whatever you ask, I will ask such a sentence, you have to talk about him left and right, and obviously refuse to tell me."

“…… Is it because of the competition for favor, do you believe it? ”

"You, competing for favor?" Li Linfu shook his head as soon as he suddenly thought of something, "If you say that it is the Lotus Liulang who loves to follow the Empress of Heaven and makes a small temperament, I believe it." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't say no, and didn't continue to speak, hearing Li Linfu ask if Li Longji knew, she thought for a while and said, "I don't plan to let the saint know." This matter has long passed, everyone is dead, there is nothing to pursue, I just don't like Yang Yushi very much, maybe he will change his opinion in the future, in short, he will not be so important because of private abolition. ”

Although Xiao Jiangyuan didn't talk about himself in detail, when he thought that the saint didn't even know the word "competing for favor", Li Linfu couldn't help laughing.

In the past year, he has worked hard, although he has also achieved a lot of results, but once he failed to bring down the prince, he was finally uneasy, and now he is finally comfortable.

Tianbao's six-year imperial examination was in full swing under Li Linfu's rare good mood. This is the most lively topic in the whole Chang'an since the beginning of the year, the day the palace test list was announced, thousands of people were empty, and after the list was released, it was an uproar in the city.

Although Lu Quan gave up writing to practice medicine, he never cut off contact with his classmates, and he deliberately got up early on this day to accompany his classmates to see the list. When he saw the list, he immediately rushed home, wanting to ask his uncle what was going on.

Lu Quan listened to Maoying's words and didn't dare to be rude to his uncle, so he stood in the courtyard and called her. After calling for a long time, he saw Mao Ying walk out of his uncle's bedroom: "Brother...... How are you in your uncle's room? ”

Mao Ying's face did not change and said: "The general always has someone to take care of his daily life, didn't you go to see the release list today, why did you come back so early, and what is the purpose of looking for the general?" ”

Lu Quan smelled that there seemed to be a special aroma on her body, which was different from the rich spices. He vaguely remembered where he had smelled it, but he couldn't remember anything for a while. Hearing Maoying's question, he immediately remembered the purpose of coming back: "What time is this, and my uncle hasn't gotten up yet?" Is she sick? Why don't I go in and show her? ”

Mao Ying stretched out her arm to stop: "...... What the hell is going on? ”

After persuading Lu Quanxin to stay at home and not to go out, Mao Ying returned to the bedroom. Xiao Jiangyuan had already woken up, and was resting on the edge of the couch at this time, the pillow was about to fall to the ground, and she was pillowing on the corner of the couch, a snow-white arm stretched out from the quilt, and her slender hand fell to the ground. Hearing Mao Ying approaching, she frowned and opened her eyes: "Ah Quan just said...... No one made the list for the palace exam? ”

Mao Ying supported Xiao Jiangyuan's head with one hand, put the pillow back in place with the other, and then hugged Xiao Jiangyuan back to the inside of the couch: "Ah Quan reacted so much because there is a Du Zimei among the students of this year, who is a talent he admires. If there is no one in the palace exam, there will be no jinshi, let alone the top three, wouldn't all this year's students fail the list? ”

"Wild Warrior ......"

"What?" She sat down on the outside of the couch.

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed: "Because the right minister said to the sage, 'Wild and Virtuous'...... All the talents have been left in the court, none of the four fields have been left behind, and the level of this class of students is very limited, and it is not worth entering the palace test. ”

"The saint believed?" As soon as Mao Ying asked, she couldn't help but shake her head, "If the saint didn't believe it, there would be no result today." It's just that it's too ......."

It's too unreasonable, and it's too nonsense.

"Actually, think about it, as an emperor, when you hear about this at first glance, you would rather believe it, right? If this is true, it will not only be exciting for the current king, but it will also be written in the history books for future generations to see, but it is also a meritorious work. ”

"But the students who have studied hard for many years are not ......"

"In today's court, those students who are still clean, don't enter."

Seeing that even Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't turn around about the imperial examination, Lu Quan was disheartened by the Son of Heaven and the court, and a few months later he simply traveled with Han Si. Xiao Jiangyuan didn't stop him, and gave Han Si and him a lot of entanglements, and sent them to Baqiao with Mao Ying, and he didn't even fold willows to give them.

Looking at the backs of Han Si and Lu Quan, Mao Ying asked, "Can the general think about the size of the world and take a look elsewhere?" ”

"I've seen it, in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan." Seeing that Mao Ying wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Jiangyuan understood a little, "Do you want to ask me, do you want to be like Ah Quan, let go of everything in Chang'an, and go to the mountains and rivers?" ”
