It stands to reason that the crime of stealing test papers is enough for you to be beheaded.

If the emperor had changed this test paper according to the emperor's wishes, it would have been a different thing.

As soon as Qin Xuning and Qin Weiwei returned to the mansion, a plate of flowers had just been served in the flower hall, and the little girl outside came in and said, "My lord, the emperor has announced that you have entered the mansion." ”

Qin Xuning put down the things in his hand, didn't even eat a bite, and said, "Let's go." ”

Qin Weiwei was worried that her brother was hungry, and she was busy for a while, she took a flower roll and gave it to Qin Xuning to eat in a sedan chair for a while, thought carefully in her heart, and asked, "Brother, you bought me buns in the morning, did you eat them yourself?" ”

Qin Xuning was puzzled for a moment, and took a bite of the flower roll, "I didn't buy you buns." ”

"Oh...... That should be someone else. Qin Weiwei smiled and urged Qin Xuning to leave quickly.

There is a soup dumpling on West Street that Qin Weiwei particularly likes, there are several soup dumpling shops there, which one Qin Weiwei likes, only Li Zhengyan knows where this shop is.

So when the official messenger brought the soup dumplings, Qin Weiwei sensed that something was wrong. At least this soup dumpling will not be bought by her brother.

"Xiao Yi!" Qin Weiwei shouted.

Xiao Yi was outside, hurriedly came in, and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

Qin Weiwei said in a deep voice, "You go to the General's Mansion next door and ask, is it that General Li has also been recruited into the palace." ”

"Slave and maid, go now."

Donghua Gate.

Qin Xuning almost arrived with Li Zhengyan and Chao Sheng.

Chao Sheng got down from the sedan chair and couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Zhengyan, and joked, "I heard that someone made people unhappy today." ”

Qin Xuning felt that Chao Sheng's words were quite good, and he said: "My sister just went back, and she didn't eat a few bites of the dishes on the table, so she went back to sleep directly." ”

The two looked at Li Zhengyan in unison. Li Zhengyan coughed, didn't say anything, and walked forward.

The three of them went to the same test at the time, and Qin Xuning and Li Zhengyan were in the same room. Li Zhengyan did not participate in the last two battles, and when the war was raging, Tugu, along with other tribes in the grassland, and some small surrounding countries attacked the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou lacked soldiers. Li Zhengyan joined the army at that time and became famous in one fell swoop.

He Wanqing waited in front of the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time, and when he saw three people coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Three adults, they are finally here, His Royal Highness King Ning has also arrived, and the emperor is waiting for you in the study." ”

"There is Father-in-law Laohe." The three of them went to the upper study.

There were no outsiders in the upper study, and Li Zhengyan stepped forward and said, "Meet the emperor." ”

"Get up." Li Ji only glanced outside, and all the palace maids and eunuchs retreated.

Li Zhengyan got up and bowed to King Ning, which was regarded as a salute.

Li Ji put a box next to him, this box Li Zhengyan is very familiar, Li Ji opened the box and patted the table, "I am very cold." ”

The four of them bowed, their faces were very steady, and said, "The emperor is angry." ”

"Taifu Zhao, as a prince teacher, has now done this kind of thing for the leader, a full 100,000 taels!" There was no chilling meaning in Li Ji's tone. As the emperor, the prince of his generation has long been gone, and only the prince of his son's generation has been left, so you can know how weak Li Ji's family affection is.

Li Ji directly threw out the account book, fell in front of King Ning, and shouted: "King Ning! There are 100,000 taels on it, why is there 1,000 taels missing in the box! ”

"This ......" Li Yuanxin never expected that there was still less money in the box, and bowed down and said: "Father, after the son took the evidence of the crime, he took care of more than 30 people from Mrs. Zhao's family, and came to the palace. This money ......"

"You're the boss! When did you do things so sloppily! I haven't even counted the least of them! "Angry at the top of his head, reprimand loudly!

Li Yuanxin hurriedly knelt down, "Ask my father to give my son a chance, and my son will search again." ”

Li Zhengyan remembered something and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

Li Ji narrowed his eyes, and at this time he was angry, Li Zhengyan spoke, he slowed down a little, and said, "Sue." ”

Li Zhengyan said: "This matter, Weichen is entrusted...... Miss Qin did it, and when Miss Qin was investigating this matter, a small house entered the account room at that time. Miss Qin knocked out this little guy, and she was afraid that someone would check the accounts, so she stuffed a thousand taels of silver tickets in the little guy's arms. If the third aunt's incident hadn't happened, the matter of the little maid would have been able to drag down the footsteps of Mrs. Zhao's family. ”

"Hmm." Li Ji nodded, obviously agreeing with Qin Weiwei's statement, he said coldly: "King Ning, you are my eldest prince, everything is an example for all brothers, do things so sloppily, learn from General Li!" Get up. ”

"Thank you, Father." Li Yuanxin got up, Li Ji was so partial to Li Zhengyan, anyone could see it.

Li Ji said: "Now you go, the corruption and fraud will be absolutely strictly handled, the little maid will be re-sold, Mrs. Zhao will be dismissed and strictly handled, and the rest of the family members will be imprisoned first." ”

"Erchen will go now." Li Yuanxin bowed and retreated.

Qin Xuning waited for Li Yuanxin to leave before he began to report, and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen and Master Chao have discovered such a bad thing as replacing the test papers in the examination room, and Wechen has collected the old papers and replaced the replaced test papers. ”

In this way, if there is a little bit of replacement of the test paper, it will not be successful.

Li Ji was very satisfied with this approach, first, let these two people go, because these two would not be afraid of offending people, the Chao family and the Qin family were originally loyal. Their status is very high, and they don't have to be afraid of some other powers, so it's the best choice for them to deal with this matter.

Chao Sheng said: "Your Majesty, what should be done with those who cheat?" ”

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. Lord Chao, this matter will be handed over to your Ministry of Rites. After the disposition, all the pens are handed over to the Criminal Department. ”

Chao Sheng understands that the meaning of this killing chickens and monkeys is to pick up some small ones and show them to the big ones, and as for the big ones, they can't be moved yet.

Chao Sheng bowed down and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”

After the examination, the Ministry of Rites was busy, and what was to be busy was the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, Qin Xuning and Chao Sheng discussed some with the emperor and then retreated.

Li Zhengyan is a participant in this test, and if it weren't for Li Zhengyan's participation in the test, he would not have caught so many people.

What Li Ji cares about most is Li Zhengyan's lifelong event, and Li Zhengyan calculates this year......

The exam of the Great Zhou is held in the summer, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, Li Ji said: "It's your birthday soon, you see that the girl of the Qin family is really good, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival it will be twenty-three, I ......."

"Your Majesty!" Li Zhengyan directly interrupted Li Ji, there is still a month to go is the Mid-Autumn Festival, he said: "Weichen has never had a birthday, not before, and not in the future!" ”

Li Ji's heart was sour, and he said, "Birthday...... I can send someone to give you a good time. ”

"No need, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, so the emperor should celebrate His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Zhengyan refused, as if the emperor continued, and he, the general, would leave and never come back.

Li Ji immediately softened and said, "Since you don't want to talk about this topic, then let's not talk about this." Miss Qin, I see that I am quite close to you, why don't you point her to you as the prime minister's wife, what do you think? ”

Li Zhengyan's fists were clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, but it was a pity that the upper half of his face was completely covered by a mask, and he could only see that the lower half of his face was thin and his lips were pursed, and he seemed to be forbearing, and said: "Weichen said, Weichen will never marry in his life!" ”

Li Ji said: "You are always old, you have a family, how can you not become a family!" ”

"Heh......" Li Zhengyan suddenly sneered, stared at Li Ji, and said, "Weichen has never seen anyone in his life. ”

"Zhengyan ......" was at a loss, and at this moment he felt like he was suddenly old.

"Why is Weichen unsightly, the emperor still doesn't know! There are still important things in the Wechen Mansion, and Wechen retires! ”

"Zhengyan!"

Li Zhengyan threw up his sleeves and left, it was useless to let Li Ji shout in the back.
