Zhao Chengqian fell asleep and woke up and asked, "Where is King Ping?" ”

"King Ping was bored and went back to the palace early." Li De'an hurriedly changed Zhengwang's clothes.

Zhao Chengqian has a habit of cleanliness, as long as he wakes up, he has to change his clothes, and he has to change several clothes a day.

His clothes are all white, and he always looks so neat.

Li De'an wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Chengqian was aware.

"The emperor sent someone down to invite the son of Ye Chengli, the Taishou of Jinzhou, to the palace to accompany the princes." Li Deqing arranged eyes and ears in the palace.

If there is any disturbance in the palace, Li Dean will know it quickly.

Zhao Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Why did my father suddenly think of the Ye family, Ye Chengli is my father's rival, and my father wants to take advantage of Ye Chengli's weakness." ”

I heard that Ye Chengli only has this son, and he regards it as his lifeline, whose idea was this?

"I heard that it was proposed by Chen Guoshi, Chen Guoshi watched the stars at night, this time there was such a big thing, the matter came from the southeast, and someone needed to go to the palace to suppress it."

Zhao Chengqian frowned, didn't he want the son of the Ye family to come and be a substitute for the dead ghost?

It seems that the prince is eyeing the Ye family, either to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, or to borrow the power of the Ye family.

Although Ye Chengli is now a civil official, his strength is still there, as long as Ye Chengli raises his arms, many military attaches will fall to the Ye family.

Lin Jiajun is Ye Chengli's sworn friend.

sent Lin Zhi to Ye Chengli's command as an errand very early, if he hadn't called him back this time, Lin Zhi would rather stoop to the small Jinzhou for the rest of his life, and be willing to be a small military camp commander.

Zhao Chengqian sneered: "There will be a lot of excitement in the palace this time. ”

"King Zheng, are you really willing to let the crown prince ascend to the throne?" Li De'an asked.

Zhao Chengqian frowned and glanced at Li De'an.

Li De'an's face changed in fright, and he slapped himself when he talked about the government as a major crime.

Zhao Chengqian saw that this kind of person couldn't make a big deal, and he couldn't hide anything in his heart.

Lin Zhi came to the house, his expression was condensed, he knelt on the ground and said, "King Zheng, there will be something to ask for in the end." ”

"I can't do anything about this matter, this matter was proposed by the prince, and it is inconvenient for the king to interfere." Zhao Chengqian knew that Lin Zhi was here for Ye Baoguo's business.

Lin Zhidao: "But Lin Gongzi has no power to restrain the chicken, he is a simple person, under the hands of the prince, if you don't listen to him, it will be difficult to survive." ”

Zhao Chengqian hated the Ye family and said coldly: "Then he can only ask for more blessings." ”

Lin Zhi wanted to say something.

"Okay, how's the mood of the students?" Zhao Chengqian diverted the topic.

"Tomorrow's examination is ready, and Prime Minister Liu is designated as the chief examiner of this field." Lin Zhi reported the matter again.

Zhao Chengqian's eyebrows moved, it seems that the prince still wants to win over this student, he is in the filial piety period, and he is unwilling to let go, Prime Minister Liu is the prince's sworn friend.

"This time the king is solely responsible for this matter, and I want to see what tricks the prince can play." Zhao Chengqian didn't want to compromise this time.

If the Great Jin Dynasty is really handed over to the prince, the people of Li will be in dire straits.

No matter who inherits the throne in the future, it will not be the crown prince.

Ye Chengli's son entered the palace as the prince's companion, if Ye Chengli fell to the prince, he would not show him mercy.

"Lin Zhi, go to the field with this king." Zhao Chengqian turned around and walked out of the room.

Lin Zhi and Li De'an hurriedly followed.

Horses had already been prepared outside.

Zhao Chengqian only brought two entourages with him, and he has never liked pomp and circumstance, so he has always been so low-key.

The people also loved King Zheng deeply.

Zhao Chengqian came to the Chengbei Science and Technology Field.

High threshold, red wall masonry, red lacquer gate, towering, in front of the door a pair of stone lions, majestic standing.

When the people in front of the door saw that the king had arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse and pedal.

An old man in his sixties, with a silver beard scattered and dressed in official uniforms, walked out of the door and was greeted by him.

"When the king arrives, he is late to greet him, and he hopes to atone for his sins." Prime Minister Liu En gave a salute.

Zhao Chengqian thought to himself: "Old fox, it's really cunning, this time the examiner is you, you have never been so polite, I don't know what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd." ”

Officialdom pandered, Zhao Chengqian was used to it, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Liu, this is the first time that this king has served as the deputy chief examiner, and I also ask the prime minister for more advice." ”

"The old minister must work together to help the king strictly control the field and select talents for the emperor." Liu En clenched his hands into fists and raised them high above his head to show respect for the emperor.

"The prime minister is too modest, and this king will fully cooperate." Zhao Chengqian can act.

The two walked into the examination room one after the other.

Liu En accompanied Zhao Chengqian to visit the examination room, understood the rules of the examination room, and what measures were taken for the candidates to cheat.

Zhao Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, thinking: "This is all a superficial article, you old fox in the field of science and technology in the past few years, I don't know how much benefit you have gained from it." ”

This time, we must be fair and just, and we must not allow the princelings to engage in malpractice for personal gain, and personally select a group of useful talents for my father.

After visiting and saying some pandering words, Zhao Chengqian got up and said goodbye, came to the city to hand over the horses to Li De'an, and took Lin Zhi with him.

It is necessary to pay a private visit to see the character of the students, and look at the people first for the officials.

"Most of the people living in the Gaosheng Inn are imperial examination students." Lin Zhi had already inquired.

"Then let's pretend to be a student and see what's going on inside." Zhao Chengqian said.

Lin Zhi looked at him and said, "King Zheng, you don't look like a student. ”

Zhao Chengqian took a look at his clothes, and indeed this dress is a Shangcheng cloth and a tribute, and only the prince and princess are qualified to use it.

Zhao Chengqian looked at Lin Zhi's clothes, which were also high-grade clothes, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about mine, yours doesn't look like a scholar." ”

Both were happy.

Li De'an set up the horses, rushed over again, and had already prepared everything with them, "Master, I've prepared it for you, you see." ”

Zhao Chengqian frowned, he didn't tell him, he could see through his thoughts, knocked on his head and said, "You dare to figure out my thoughts." ”

Li Dean smiled and said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave will throw these things away." ”

"Dog minion, aren't you angry with the king, hurry up and find a place for the king to change clothes." Zhao Chengqian sometimes really hated to kill him, he was too smart.

Li De'an shrunk his neck and said, "Don't worry, master, I have already arranged it." ”

Take the two of them to a private house.

The high gatehouse, entering is a quadrangle, five main houses, and a two-story courtyard.

There are no people living inside.

Lin Zhi asked: "Li De'an, this won't be your private house, where did you get so much money to buy a private house?" ”

Li De'an hurriedly said: "I didn't accept bribes outside under the banner of Zhengwang, these are all usually rewarded by Zhengwang, and the minions' teeth are scraped off." ”

"Dare to use the banner of this king, show off your power outside, be careful of your head." Zhao Chengqian understands that Li De'an is quite honest, and this is also a warning to him.

Li Dean originally didn't plan to let anyone know about his private house, but he had no choice but to show it, and saw that Zhao Chengqian didn't blame himself.

smiled and said: "How dare the minion, everything is the king's own." ”

"I have a place to stay in the future, I don't want to go home, I can live here." Lin Zhi saw that the environment here was good.

"I can't even live in the beauty I think, this is the small private residence of the king." Li De'an is under the banner of Zhengwang.

Lin Zhi pursed his mouth, looked around, and sighed: "When will I have such a private house?" ”

Li Dean said: "Then take Miss Ye over, you will be a winner in life." ”

Lin Zhi also thought so, what he said was what he wanted.

"Alright, let's change our clothes." Zhao Chengqian just asked Lin Zhi to dispel the idea of marrying Ye Long'er.

The two didn't dare to fight, so Lin Zhi went back to the room to change clothes.

Li De'an's face is too familiar, and he is afraid that someone will recognize him and it will be a big deal.

Not long after Lin Zhigang returned to the capital, few people knew him, and he was pretending to be a scholar, which was even more able to hide people's eyes.

Cleaned up.

Zhao Chengqian, Lin Zhi rushed to the "Gaosheng Inn".

This inn was usually inhabited by some merchants, and after the three-year imperial examination, it no longer received other guests.

The people who live in it are all students of the imperial examination, and the name of this inn is good, which means that they are rising step by step.

The students all live here with this meaning.

The inn is a three-storey courtyard with a deep courtyard, which is also divided into three or six grades, high, medium and low, and third-class rooms.

Rich students live in first-class rooms, as well as their own scholars, and entourage.

Some poor students live in low-class rooms, usually in large bunks, and more than a dozen people live in one room.

There are students in and out here, and the government also takes special care of here.

I don't know which high-ranking official came out of here.

Xiao Er was busy inside, delivering meals, making tea, and waiting to be summoned at any time.

Xiao Er saw that another student came, this person has an extraordinary temperament, handsome appearance, and a scholar behind him.

didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guest officer, hit the point?" Or a hotel? ”

Lin Zhi took out a piece of silver that was full of twenty taels, handed it to Xiao Er, and said, "Live in the hotel." ”

Xiao Er saw that the silver was pure, and he knew that the children of rich families hurriedly greeted him in the upstairs guest room.

The two followed Xiao Er to the upstairs room on the west side, pushed open the door and inside was fragrant, elegant and chic, with a bookcase and books on it.

Xiao Er poured tea on the two of them and asked, "If you have any instructions, just say it." ”

Lin Zhidao: "I'll call you if there's something, you go down first." ”

Xiao Er answered.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard someone shouting, "Xiao Er, come here." ”

Xiao Er closed the door, answered the call, and asked, "Master, what are your orders?" ”

"Our young master is hungry, hurry up and bring food to our young master, it's still the old rule." Listen to the sound is a southerner.

"Okay, wait a minute." Xiao Er went downstairs and sounded.

Zhao Chengqian sat at the table and tasted tea, and heard the sound of a student reading, the words were correct and round, and the voice was also very upright, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting loudly in the next room: "Can you make a little noise, it's all this time, what's the use of working hard, why did you go earlier." ”

The man was so frightened that he immediately stopped speaking.

Lin Zhi hurriedly went out to check and see who had such a big tone and cared about other people's affairs.

As soon as I poked my head out, I felt the wind in my ears, and a round thing smashed over.
