Chunyu re-judged the papers, held the palace examination again, and finally gave the candidates the correct grades at the end of March and the beginning of April, and at the beginning of April, the peach blossoms were gone, and the new young officials were hired.

The carriage stopped in front of the ceremonial department, Chen Yu went in with King An, and Xue Ji was waiting outside, the officials in front of the door came and went, the birds woven on the robes were very dazzling, the gold and silver embroidery threads were shining in the sun, Xue Ji only felt red when he looked at it.

"Kiyoyuki?"

Xue Ji turned his head and saw that Ji Baiqing was wearing a six-grade official robe, and he wondered in his heart, how could a second-class jinshi be directly awarded an official position? Shouldn't you be trained for three years at Hallym Academy before joining the company...... Now that the person has arrived in front of him, he has to bow his hand

"Brother Yuanru, it's time to call Lord Ji this time!"

"Hey, why bother!" Ji Baiqing hurriedly returned the salute, seeing that he was wearing regular clothes but pestle at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't help but wonder: "Qingzhi is this?" ”

Xue Ji said with a smile: "Brother Yuanru smiled, the person who fell off the list is now seeking a position in King An's Mansion." As he spoke, he looked up and down and asked, "I saw Brother Yuan Ru in the second class that day, why was this conferred?" "Thinking about it in my heart, the six-grade official, should he be the head of the Ministry of Rites? This son is not fat, and the Ministry of Rites is a place of hard work and travel, so he suffers.

When Ji Baiqing mentioned this, he couldn't help sighing: "Alas, doing things in King An's Mansion is also promising, just look at Lord Chen, and follow King An to rise to the top...... However, my life is hard, most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the case of fraud in the imperial examination were convicted and dismissed, and several of the first class are people with broad horizons, and no one continues this position if it is vacant, but it is not awarded together with the second class jinshi. ”

Xue Ji was shocked, he guessed that this fraud case would be thoroughly investigated, but he didn't expect that it would be so widely implicated, and even the officials of the sixth grade were convicted! After a while, he put his doubts and exclamations into his heart, and put his arms around the shoulders and comforted: "Brother Yuanru, don't be discouraged, there will always be a chance to be transferred." ”

"Promise your good words."

A call came from afar: "Lord Ji! ”

Ji Baiqing looked back when he heard the voice, and it was his colleague who waved to him, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Xue Ji: "I'll go first, I'll have a drink another day!" ”

On this end, watching Ji Baiqing's back go deep into the courtyard and gradually move away, on the other end, Qin Sui's figure could be seen slowly walking, Xue Ji stood up and waited for someone to walk in front of him, and waved his hand: "Lord Wang." ”

Qin Sui glanced at him, and then looked back at Ji Baiqing's barely visible back. "Who is that? Do you know? ”

Xue Jidao: "Back to the prince, that is Ji Baiqing, the director of the Ministry of Rites, who met him in Xianting on the next day. ”

When his words fell, Chen Yu had already helped Qin Sui into the carriage, and then he also went up with his own support.

"Get in the car and say."

Qin Sui was sitting in the middle of the car, Chen Yu was on the left, Xue Ji was on the right, and after the three of them sat down, the coachman whipped and drove away, and the façade of the Ministry of Rites gradually disappeared, and then the bustling street market on the streets of Chang'an was introduced.

"Lord Wang, this Yu Huan's temperament is too anxious......" Chen Yu put away a document, remembering that Yu Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, had an extremely bad attitude, and his heart was depressed. King Ning is also absolute, no one is needed, he prefers these strange people, one Yu Huan and one Zhang Huaien, they are all lords who hate to offend the whole Manchu Dynasty, I really don't know what King Ning thinks......"

"Qin Xu has a violent temper himself, what's so strange about this." Qin Sui was leaning against the wall of the car with his eyes closed, but when he said this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. "Besides...... Who knows if this is his means of concealing people's ears. ”

Xue Ji sat quietly and listened to their questions and answers, secretly sorting out the information that kept pouring in in his heart, and unconsciously had a vague impression of the people in the court. The carriage and horse swayed for a while, and suddenly stopped, Qin Sui opened the curtain and took a look. "Ziliang."

Chen Yu heard that this was the end of the household. The coachman had already put the foot pedal away, and Chen Yu glanced at Xue Ji before getting out of the car, and said, "Serve the prince well." ”

After Chen Yu left, the coachman drove on the road again, Qin Sui simply opened the curtain to facilitate the outside situation, all kinds of pedestrians along the way, with different personalities and different dresses, Xue Ji did not have Qin Sui's leisure to sigh "people's livelihood", he looked at the streets on both sides, turned his head and asked: "Lord Wang, where is this going?" ”

"Idleness."

Xue Ji was surprised, idle? Wasn't it shut down a long time ago? What are you going to do there? Qin Sui seemed to see through his doubts, and said calmly: "Father ordered me to assist in the investigation of the case with Qin Xu, saying that it was ...... Experience. ”

At this time, the flowing clouds in the sky rushed by, and the lake in Xue Ji's heart shook a few ripples, and now the prince is young and vigorous, and his power in the court is deep-rooted, and his status is as stable as a mountain, but the saint has let the other two experience, what does this mean? Clearly encourage brothers to fight?

"Isn't the saint Mo ......" want to abolish the prince? Xue Ji didn't dare to ask this sentence, only half a sentence, he believed that Qin Sui could understand.

"Not so fast." Qin Sui shook his head and sighed: "The relationship between my father and the Empress Yuan is very deep, far beyond everyone's expectations. Maybe it's because people always want to go wrong when they get old, and he fantasizes that his brother can sincerely help the prince and guard his country and society after a hundred years. When the words fell, I said from the bottom of my heart: It's ridiculous.

In fact, it's not so difficult to understand, it's too much to say it's ridiculous, who doesn't want their children to enjoy family fun under their knees when they are old, the Son of Heaven...... It's just an ordinary person. If it is an ordinary people's family, which one is not a brother who works together to provoke the beam? The heavenly family is very affectionate.

The carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and there was a bustle in front of the door, but this time it was not pedestrians and guests gathered at the door, but officials and soldiers wearing official uniforms or cold armor. The leader kicked open the door of the idle court, the seal attached to the door was broken in response, and the horizontal wood inserted in it broke and fell to the ground.

"Heh, it's really a first-hand oil and water."

Xue Ji looked at the source of the voice, the man was dressed in a second-grade robe, his eyebrows and eyes were full of fierceness and disgust, and he looked at the things in the idle court with disdain. "It's ......"

"This person is Zhengqing of Dali Temple, Feng Jinian." Qin Sui solved his doubts in a timely manner.

Xue Jiran knew that the name of Dali Temple Zhengqing had long been heard, which was not unusual.

Jiang Yan was the first to notice that someone was coming, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was King An, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with his robe: "The minister greets King An." As soon as the words came out, I saw this strange and familiar face beside Qin Sui. This is...... It turns out that this is the person of King An, no wonder! ”

Xue Ji was also helpless, the capital was so big, and there were nobles when he looked up and down, so what should he do. He didn't like the title of King An's man, he still felt in his heart that he was free, at least to this day, he had not chosen his own master.

Although he was helpless, he couldn't avoid it, so he bowed his hand: "The grass people have seen Lord Zhongshuling." ”

Qin Sui smiled: "Lord Jiang doesn't have to be polite. As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Ji, and then looked back at Jiang Yan, "This person was also introduced to me by Ziliang a few days ago, why, Lord Jiang knows?" ”

Jiang Yan's face was full of humility, and he responded: "The fate of one side is in this idle court. Saying that, Jiang Yan turned sideways to get out of the way, and stretched out his hand to signal King An to go in, "That day, the ministers saw that all the guests were vying to buy the question, but this person was full of disdain and had a good argument with the store!" The minister sighed at that time, this person is not shallow, and he is by no means an extraordinary person, but he doesn't want to be your person who is King An. ”

Qin Sui followed him a few steps forward, waved his hand and said: "Eh, what you said is that the king of Japan still doesn't know clearly, he was introduced by Ziliang a few days after the release of the Spring Festival, if you want to say that Ziliang is clear-eyed!" ”

Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and just came back to his senses: "Isn't this person down?" ”

Qin Sui didn't answer, he looked at Xue Ji, Xue Ji understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's the prince and the adults who look up to the grass people, and the grass people are just general, and they haven't even hit the top three." ”

"Eh, you can't say that." Jiang Yan didn't put on a show at all, and smiled with him: "What are you doing with the prince?" Isn't it a fraud case, I don't think you are an ordinary scholar, don't be discouraged, you will definitely go to high school in three years! ”

After all the greetings and polite words were said, Qin Sui took the lead in introducing the right way: "Lord Zhang hasn't come yet?" ”

Jiang Yan Zhengse responded: "The prince doesn't know, Lord Zhang went to inquire about the officials who kept the examination papers." ”

Qin Sui listened, nodded, and no longer gave instructions, only moved a chair to sit in front of the idle courtyard, watching Dali Temple and relevant officials busy. Xue Ji couldn't see it clearly from the side, so since the saint let the prince follow the experience, what is the matter with sitting still and watching the play? It's not enough to just sit, there was an official who sensibly sent a pot of tea halfway, and when the sun was shining at noon, a pot of tea was almost finished, and Qin Sui didn't see a thing or two intervene. Xue Jizheng was bored and panicked, and suddenly heard the official on the side sigh in a low voice: "Look over there, King Ning is here." ”

Hearing this, Qin Sui finally made a move, he got up and frowned slightly and looked in the direction where the car was coming, while Jiang Yan on the side put down the matter at hand and stepped forward to greet him: "Lord Wang, you are here." ”

Xue Ji understood when he heard it, just now he called Qin Sui to call King An, and when King Ning came, he only called the prince, which is the same as Chen Yu calling King An, and he is the main minister when he hears it.

"Big brother." After Qin Xu, the king of Ning, motioned for Jiang Yan to get up, he came over to Qin Sui, and saw Xue Ji on the side who was slightly stunned: "The eldest brother has added another wise man." ”

"Brother of your own, you don't have to be polite." Qin Sui changed his smile when he saw someone coming: "There are a few more doormen in my mansion every three or five days, so you don't have to remember it." ”

Qin Xu secretly sneered in his heart, but no, everyone knew that the hundred guests in King An's Mansion were more substantial than the holy harem, and since he was from a humble background, he was involved in the world's cold people as a foil. Thinking so in his heart, he couldn't say so, so he simply changed the conversation and asked, "How is the case?" ”
