Chapter 41: The Prison of the Kingdom

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen and thought about it, he was indeed the best candidate.

Gao Zhen walked into the study, put down the snacks in his hand, and said seriously: "No one in Jinling City knows me, and it is easy for me to enter the Guozijian." ”

"Just." Gao Zhen said his hesitation, "I've never been to Guozijian, so I really don't understand. ”

Fan Li was a little surprised, according to the rules, Gao Zhen, as the crown prince, should have entered the country to study since he was a child.

Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, and felt distressed, and then said slowly: "Guozijian was built by the previous dynasty, originally called Guozixue, and later changed to Guozijian, which is the highest institution of learning in the Guozijian Dynasty. ”

Fan Li added, "However, there is a special case where the emperor's relatives or the descendants of people who have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court can be admitted without entrance examinations. ”

Seeing that Gao Zhen had no other unusual reactions, Fan Li continued: "As far as I know, at present, eighty percent of the prisoners in Guozi Prison are children of families, and only a few of them have passed the examination. ”

"So, where is this Lord Xia now?" Gao Zhen asked.

Luo Qingzhi said: "I was detained in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

"So, what about the students?" Gao Zhen continued to ask.

"In the country." Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen thought for a while and began to analyze, "So, Ah Luo doesn't want to listen to the words of the Guozijian or the Yushitai, but wants to hear the thoughts of the prisoners."

Luo Qingzhi was a little surprised, and nodded, "You continue." ”

"Or." Gao Zhen began to speculate, "Or, Arlo wants to upset the balance. ”

"Oh," Luo Qingzhi was a little puzzled, "What do you think is the balance?" ”

“...... The balance between the family and the poor. ”

"Why did you make such a decision?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Zhen said: "Although I have been living in the palace all these years, I don't know anything about the outside world, but since I came outside, I feel that life outside the palace is actually very different." ”

"How is it different?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Gao Zhen said: "When everyone reports their home, they will say where they come from, although it is to explain their origin, but it also allows people around them to distinguish whether this person is from a family or a poor family." ”

"Especially this time." Gao Zhen continued: "I have so many young talents, but in the end, there are so many children from the family. ”

Luo Qingzhi deliberately said: "However, it has been like this in all dynasties, and the prosperity of the family is the result of the efforts of generation after generation. ”

Gao Zhen shook his head, "Ah Luo's words are not right, if everyone has the same starting point, then it is naturally true, but this generation and generation have never been treated the same." ”

"Then, people who work hard naturally have good treatment." Luo Qingzhi said.

This time, Gao Zhen didn't answer immediately, and after thinking about it, he said: "However, the rules are wrong, we look at the Guozijian from the perspective of the Guozijian, to enter the Guozijian, the first step is to pay three years of annual tribute, such a basic rule, itself has made many people prohibitive, plus, the emperor's relatives, the children of the family have occupied the quota early, so other people want to come out, naturally it is more and more difficult." ”

"But, haven't you thought about it, there is still a road to the imperial examination?" Luo Qingzhi said.

Gao Zhen was silent, and Luo Qingzhi continued: "There are so many unfair things in this world, but as far as the imperial court is concerned, it is not that all the roads of the poor are broken. ”

“......”

Gao Zhen said: "Ah Luo, I, I don't have any evidence to continue arguing, but I will look for it." ”

Luo Qingzhi smiled, "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Fan Li laughed and came out to play a round, "The appearance of the second son reminds me of Ah Luo when I was a child." ”

Gao Zhen became interested and asked, "What was Arlo like when he was a child?" ”

Fan Li said: "Like you, you think that injustice is wrong. ”

"This ...... That's it. Gao Zhen said.

Luo Qingzhi said: "Ah Chao, many things are difficult to judge in the real sense, but I hope you can change all this." ”

Gao Zhen nodded solemnly, "Hmm." ”

Luo Qingzhi sighed, "Hey, I still have to go to my uncle, whether it is to enter the national prison or to inquire about Xia's nationality, I have to rely on him." ”

"Have you figured out how to explain it?" Fan Li asked.

Luo Qingzhi was very confident and said: "I know very well that they won't really be angry. ”

Although the recruitment of sons-in-law has ended, Fan Li is still teaching Gao Zhen, leaving him homework, so he will let him go.

"I kind of understand, why did you choose Gao Zhen?" Fan Li said.

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "He is really similar, very similar to me ten years ago." ”

Fan Li sighed, "Ah Luo, the environment is different, it's still the same sentence, don't suffer yourself." ”

"I understand." Luo Qingzhi said: "He is like me, but he is not me, he has a firm heart and is stronger than me." ”

"You guys, have you talked about it, after all, it's not easy to win the heir." Fan Li said.

Luo Qingzhi remembered yesterday's words, smiled stupidly, and nodded, "Well, we've talked about it." ”

"That's good." Fan Li nodded and continued: "Do you want to return the wind from Nanzhao?" ”

"No, he went to Jin'an." Luo Qingzhi said.

"Went to Jin'an?" Fan Li was a little shocked, "It's not wartime, don't you need to find out any information?" ”

"There are more important things." Luo Qingzhi replied, and continued: "However, it is not determined yet, so I will tell you later." ”

Fan Li sighed, "Okay, when you grow up, you won't be the same as when you were a child, and you told Mr. everything." ”

Luo Qingzhi chuckled, "Sir, I'm afraid that if I haven't stayed with Qin Shu for a long time, I'll learn his tricks." ”

"This is not something I learned from Qin Shu, I think Zhixin's girl learned it." Fan Li said.

At the mention of Zhixin, Luo Qingzhi put away her smile and was a little worried, "I haven't received a letter from her for a long time, and I don't know how she is." ”

"It's been a long time?" Fan Li was puzzled, "The carrier pigeons of this Medicine King Valley are specially trained and can be reached in one day, unless she doesn't send a letter at all." ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "The last time I wrote to her, she said that she had something to do. ”

"Don't worry." Fan Li comforted, "That girl is quirky, she will be fine." ”

"Okay." Luo Qingzhi got up, "Then I'll go to my uncle's house." ”

In the study of Baili Mansion, when Baili Han learned that Guozijian's case was handed over to Luo Qingzhi for investigation, he was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, you actually handed over this case to you?"

Luo Qingzhi didn't understand, and asked rhetorically, "Is there anything hidden in this case?" ”

Baili Han sighed deeply and explained, "In this case, the facts are clear, and the human and material evidence is there, but His Majesty has not made a judgment. ”

Luo Qingzhi said: "So, this Xia adult really opened a private school?" ”

Baili Xi said: "The school is exaggerated by sacrificial wine, but it is true that the professor is academic. ”

"This Lord Xia wouldn't have been the doctor of Guozijian before, right?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Bai Li Han nodded, "He was transferred to the Yushitai the year before last and served as the Lantai Commander. ”

"What's more serious is that," Bai Lihan said, "those inmates who were taught by Xia were all excellent in last month's evaluation. ”

"I see." Luo Qingzhi said: "This matter, it is not easy to judge, if Xia Ji is found guilty, then it will not only hurt the hearts of the poor students, but also make the family question the supervision of the Guozijian and question the imperial court instead." If Xia Ji is found not guilty, then does it also mean that Guozijian treats the family and the Hanmen differently, and it has always been only a secret struggle between the family and the Hanmen, which will be on the bright side. And I, as a relative of the emperor, recruited a poor family as my son-in-law this time, so how I judge this case will represent my attitude......"

Baili Xi was a little angry, "Your Majesty, I really gave you a problem." ”

Luo Qingzhi shook her head, "I didn't know this before, so I decided to do this in the hall, it really shouldn't be." ”

Bai Lihan was also puzzled, "Qingqing, you have always done things safely, how could you take over the case without investigation." ”

Luo Qingzhi couldn't explain that this was an exchange, so she could only be silent.

Baili roared, "Your Majesty is the emperor, Qingqing is a courtier, what position does she have to shirk." ”

"Yes." Baili Han bowed his head, "Father has taught me a lesson." ”

Luo Qingzhi was a little annoyed, turned her head and asked Baili Han, "Uncle, are you familiar with this Lord Xia?" ”

Baili Han shook his head, "This person doesn't like to talk, is obsessed with books, and has never dealt with him." ”

"Did he admit it?" Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.

"When I was caught, I confessed." Baili Han said.

"Hey," Luo Qingzhi finally sighed, "This person sounds like an upright person." ”

"You're right." Baili Han said.

"So, what is this person's family background?" Luo Qingzhi continued to ask.

Baili Han patted the table and said, "You can't imagine that he is the nephew of Yuan Sacrifice Wine." ”

"What." Luo Qingzhi was surprised, "Then, why did the wine lord sue his nephew." ”

"I don't know, but if you think about the relationship between the two, it shouldn't be good." Baili Han said.

Luo Qingzhi was silent for a while, and said: "I remember that the Yuan Sacrifice Wine is a northern scholar clan, and after moving to the south, he married the Jiangzhou Zuo family, and was brought all the way to the Sacrifice Wine. ”

"But," Luo Qingzhi asked, "I don't know what the origin of this Xia family is." ”

Baili Xi said: "If you are serious, this Xia family has something to do with your mother. ”

Luo Qingzhi almost didn't know about her mother, and at this time, she was a little excited.

"The Xia family was originally a nobleman in Jinling, but when they encountered a disaster, there was only a pair of sisters and brothers left, this sister and your mother have been playmates since childhood, so your mother often helped them, and later, they moved out of Jinling, it should have gone to Tiger Hill, somehow, the daughter of the Yuan family insisted on marrying the Xia family, who had completely lost power at that time." Baili Xi said.

Luo Qingzhi said: "This Yuan family should not agree." ”

"Of course." Baili Xi said, "However, later, I don't know the reason, people still married after all, but the two families almost don't interact, one lives in Jinling, and the other lives in the suburbs of Beijing." ”
