In the Gongyuan, all the examination papers have been sealed into boxes and moved to the Wenhua Hall for transcription. The ministers who read the papers all arrived at the Wenhua Palace, just waiting for the transcription to be completed and then going to the circle, so as not to make the article high. The affairs of the examination papers, such as the collection, sealing, and transcription, are all managed by Wu Yunpeng and several other directors, and Gao Shiqi's class of preface writers and others are careful to start. Wei Xiangshu secretly noticed that he didn't see Chen Jing's scroll, so he said: "The lower officials thought that they should play the emperor, seal the posthumous scroll and transcribe it, and select the best, so as not to regret the missing pearls!" ”

Several examiners said that this was against the rules and was really inappropriate. Li Zhenye said: "You adults don't know, I understand Lord Wei's thoughts!" ”

Wei Xiangshu was about to make his words clear, so he said: "Master Li doesn't have to insinuate, he has something to say. ”

Li Zhenye smiled: "Okay! Then I'll get straight to the point! Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Jing, a person from Shanxi, is suspected of having a murder case, and the emperor is extrajudicial and allows him to make an exception to take the exam. But Chen Jing was resentful and deliberately defaced the exam papers, insulting the ceremony! The invigilator Wu Yunpeng removed his exam paper as usual. What Master Wei never forgot was this fellow countryman Chen Jing! The examiners all looked at Wei Xiangshu and shook their heads, only to say that this was not like what Master Wei did.

Wei Xiangshu said: "The innocent heart of the lower officials can show the sun and the moon!" ”

Li Zhenye was about to argue with Wei Xiangshu, and Sonny led Mingzhu and a few other guards in. The ministers in the palace guessed that the oracle must have arrived, and began to bend their knees before the decree was announced.

Sure enough, Sony announced: "The emperor's dictation! Wu Yunpeng, the director of the Ministry of Rites, did it in the Tribute Institute, and he had bad intentions, so he was handed over to the Criminal Department for discussion! ”

The hall immediately knelt down, Wu Yunpeng looked at Li Zhenye, his face was already pale. Li Zhenye avoided Wu Yunpeng's gaze and knelt with his head bowed. Two guards stepped forward and took Wu Yunpeng.

Sony also said: "The emperor also said that because Wu Yunpeng acted recklessly and deliberately made it difficult to raise his son, there may be pillars of real talent and learning among the posthumous files." Order that all the posthumous scrolls be sealed and transcribed, and then selected! ”

Li Zhenye hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The emperor is sage, and the ministers obey the order!" ”

Sony looked at Li Zhenye and smiled coldly, and said, "Where else!" The emperor decreed, Li Zhenye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the president of the examination, listened to Wu Yunpeng and others to act recklessly and lost the law. Li Zhenye was relieved of his position as president of the examination and went home to wait for disposal! Wei Xiangshu, the head of the Hanlin Academy, served as the president of the examination! ”

Wei Xiangshu knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen is terrified!" ”

Li Zhenye trembled all over his body and sweated profusely. After Sonny finished pronouncing the holy message, he smiled and said, "Everyone, get up." ”

The ministers thanked the Holy Grace and got up, only Li Zhenye was still paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up.

Mingzhu asked, "Master Li, why are you still kneeling?" ”

Li Zhenye said: "The crime of the minister deserves death!" ”

Sonny said: "The emperor hasn't convicted you yet!" Go home and stay! ”

Li Zhenye trembled and got up at this time, and bowed his hands to Sony and Mingzhu.

Li Zhenye stayed at home like a dead man, lying in bed and unable to get up. The butler walked to the bed and whispered, "Master, they are here." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhenye immediately got up and went to the guest hall. It turned out that the three people in the Baiyun Temple were his family members, and they were already waiting outside at this time.

Li Zhenye said: "Wu Yunpeng has been taken. Blame the old man for not being careful, I don't want to bother you. ”

A family member said: "The master treats us like a mountain, as long as you give an order, you will lose your head, and we will not hesitate to do it!" ”

Li Zhenye shook his head and said, "Don't say stupid things. You have to leave the capital as quickly as possible, and go as far as possible. I've got some taels of silver here to keep you out for a few years. When the wind is over, I'll let you come back! Standing behind the old man are the princes, Baylor, and ministers, I don't mean to fall down! ”

The butler had already come over with a plate with three red envelopes and four glasses of wine. The butler handed the red envelope to the three of them, and then brought a glass of wine to the master. The three men served their own wine and saluted the master. Li Zhenye said: "The matter is in a hurry, and I can't see you off specifically." After this glass of wine, you can wait until it gets dark and set out in the starry night. ”

Cheers, the three men were teary-eyed, and only said that they would come back to serve the master in a few years. Li Zhenye watched them go out, but still went back to the room to lie down. When the catastrophe came, Li Zhenye had no intention of sleeping, but his body was weak and unable to support it. Just because he drank that glass of wine just now, he didn't drink much on weekdays, so he actually fell asleep. I don't know how long later, I suddenly heard someone shaking him. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the housekeeper was crying and mourning, saying that someone from the palace had come.

Li Zhenye stumbled outside, only to see that Sony led Mingzhu and the others to arrive again. Sonny preached loudly: "The emperor's edict, Li Zhenye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the ceremony of the imperial court, but he actually carried the grace of heaven and behaved in filthy ways, which is extremely hateful!" Immediately arrest Li Zhenye and hand him over to the Criminal Department for discussion! ”

Li Zhenye cried to the sky: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" ”

Sonny said: "Lord Li, whether you are wronged or not, you have your own law, you don't have to be so gaffe." All the property of the Li Mansion was sealed, and men, women and children were not allowed to leave the house for half a step! ”

The guards flew to each house, and the Li Mansion immediately cried. Half an hour later, a guard rushed in and exclaimed, "Suo Zhongtang, three corpses have been found in the firewood room in the backyard!" ”

Li Zhenye's eyes turned white, and he collapsed in the chair and passed out. It turned out that Li Zhenye instructed the housekeeper to put medicine in the wine and poison the three family members to prepare to destroy the corpses at night, but he never thought that the court would bring people so soon. Mingzhu already knew it in her heart, and whispered a few words in Sony's ear. Sonny said: "All over the house, take it all!" ”

The emperor ordered Sony and Ao Bai to jointly try the case, and in less than two hours, Li Zhenye was recruited. Knowing that Li Zhenye was guilty so quickly, the emperor announced that Sony and Ao Bai entered the palace overnight. Sony said: "Li Zhenye confessed, but there are too many people involved, please ask the emperor to judge!" ”

After that, he handed over the fold, and a eunuch had already come to pick it up. The emperor leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and did not look at the excerpts, but only asked, "Who are involved?" ”

Sonny stumbled and looked at him. Ao Bai said: "Not only Li Zhenye himself is bold enough to accept bribes, but there are also a few princes and Baylors who greet Li Zhenye and stuff the strips, and there are ministers of the ministry and the court who thread the needle in the middle, and even the housekeeper in the palace, the pen post style in the ministry, a total of more than a dozen people, and more than 20 people who bribed and paid tribute!" Li Jin, a person from Henan, was also killed by Li Zhenye's family! ”

When the emperor listened, he suddenly cried and was filled with grief and indignation: "The prince and Baylor are all my uncles, uncles, and brothers!" Flesh and blood! Those ministers, I will praise them and reward them every day! This world belongs to everyone, not to one person! They have wolf hearts and dog lungs! ”

The emperor cried and shouted, and suddenly pressed his hands on his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Sonny and Ao Bai were so frightened that they kowtowed, shouting that the emperor was angry and that the dragon body was important. Mingzhu was with him and told the eunuch to call the eunuch quickly. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't call the imperial doctor, I won't be able to die for a while!" ”

The emperor wanted to fold it, and when he looked at it, his hands trembled, and he scolded: "It's all bad to learn from the Han people!" The Manchurians relied on broadswords and curved bows to distinguish their superiority, and there were no such vices as bribery and drilling! Less than 20 years after entering the Central Plains, the benefits of the Han people have not been learned, and all the dirty things have been learned! Examine! Check him out, let them understand it! ”

In the capital, chickens and dogs are barking, and they are talking everywhere about the investigation of the case. The scholars in the happy forest were overjoyed, and only said that this time they could finally be fair to the world, and they were willing to do so even if they failed the list. Only Zhang Wang was nervous, for fear that his own affairs would be poked out. The inkstone he brought into the examination room was hidden from God, and he was afraid that Li Zhenye had already had an accident, and the matter of him asking Gao Shiqi to send silver would be pulled out. He wanted to go back to Shanxi first, but he had no entanglement at hand, so he wanted to hide from Zu Zeshen's house. He entrusted Dashun to the store, and only said that he had something to do and went out for a few days. The shopkeeper only recognized the silver, and had nothing to say.

Zhang Wang arrived in front of Zu Zeshen's mansion and hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and knocking on the door. The porter thought he had come to see the face, so he let him in. Zu Zeshen saw that it was Zhang Wang, he was very hot, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhang Wang!" It's almost time to send the emperor list, I'm waiting to say hello to you! ”

Zhang Wang blushed and said: "Zhang is ashamed, he has something to ask for, and he dares to disturb his grandfather!" ”

Zu Zeshen said: "How can Brother Zhang Wang say this? You are a dragon that is about to come out of the water, and my ancestors will still count on you to hold on to it in the future. Tell me, what is my effect? ”

Zhang Wei said: "Zhang is not thoughtful, and now he is shy and can't afford to live in an inn!" ”

Zu Zeshen was very bold, and laughed: "I thought it was a big deal! Brother, don't say a borrowed word, you only say how much silver you need? ”

Zhang Wang said: "I don't dare to borrow silver." If it doesn't bother, I'll stay in your house for a few days, and add me an extra pair of chopsticks when eating! ”

Zu Zeshen clapped his hands and smiled: "Wow, I'm so desperate!" Come on, please come in. ”

After entering the house and taking a seat, Zu Ze secretly observed his words and looks, and asked, "Brother Zhang Wang, you seem to have something on your mind!" ”

Zhang Wei was really flustered in his heart, thinking that this Zu Ze was clever, for fear that he would see through something, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's just that I really feel abrupt and ashamed when I open my mouth to you like this." Besides, my grandfather is a god, how can I hide anything from you? ”

Zu Zeshen pretended to be profound, and said: "Brother Zhang Wang doesn't want to say it, so I won't break it!" Zhang Wang was even more flustered, and his mouth was just Weiwei.

During the conversation, it was inevitable to talk about this case, Zu Zeshen said: "I'm afraid that there will be bloody trouble again!" ”

Zhang Wang didn't want to talk about it, but said: "As a traitor, you deserve it!" ”

Zu Zeshen said: "That being said, the truth is not so simple. ”

Zhang Wang said: "I am willing to listen to Mr. Zu's teaching!" ”

Zu Zeshen said: "How dare you! Li Zhenye is certainly greedy, but what he wants to run is officialdom. When he collects cash, he is actually taking protégés. Li Zhenye is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, an important minister in the court, as long as the scholar can vote under his door, what is the amount of silver? What's more, he has gained fame! ”

Zhang Wei was ashamed in his heart, and echoed: "Yes, there are really a lot of people who read this kind of book!" ”

Zu Zeshen said again: "I think Li Zhenye still has something he has to do." Those who were entrusted to him by the princes and ministers, he didn't dare to be perfunctory at will! The official hat of his Ministry of Rites was not so much given by the emperor, but by those princes and ministers. Just pleasing the emperor alone, that's not enough! ”

Zhang Wei said: "Mr. Zu is really high-minded, Zhang admires it!" ”

Zu Zeshen laughed and said, "Where! The people in the capital, who said that the court had a book in their stomachs. ”

Zhang Wang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Before I entered the officialdom, I smelled the blood inside." What if you really get mixed up in the future! ”

Zu Ze said with a deep smile: "Brother Zhang Wang was confused when he said this. After ten years of cold windows, students are looking forward to one day high school and making a name for themselves. Official, let's see how to do it. only said that this Li Zhenye, with such a good fat difference as the Ministry of Rites, he would not do it. His protégé will receive it, and he will also collect the silver, how can there be anyone who does not capsize? There is no official in the world who does not collect money, just see if you will accept it. ”

Zhang Wei gossiped with Zu Ze on his lips, but in his heart he was like thousands of ants crawling, and he was really panicking.

On this day, the Taihe Hall outside the Dan Majesty burned incense early, the guards and eunuchs stood a lot, it turned out that the emperor summoned Wei Xiangshu and other ministers in the palace. The examiners have been waiting for a long time, and when the emperor sits down on the dragon chair, Wei Xiangshu kneels forward and plays: "Congratulations to the emperor, the ministers and others have been ordered to test the world, and now the reading has been completed, and a total of 185 tributes have been recruited!" ”

Although Wei Xiangshu is full of auspicious words, his heart is not easy. The emperor has been grumpy recently because of the fraud case in the science field, and he took the president of the examination halfway, but he was afraid that there would be something wrong. How do you know that the emperor is in a good mood today, and said: "The emperors of the previous dynasties only read the first ten examination papers of the palace examination, and there is no precedent for reading the examination papers. I'm going to make an exception this time, and I want to see the articles that will try the top 10 first. Li Zhenye, they made a fuss, and I was not sure! ”

Wei Xiangshu said: "There will be three exams, and the exam papers are too complicated, so the emperor doesn't have to read them one by one." The ministers only took the first ten places in the examination and presented the third examination to the emperor. ”

Wei Xiangshu said, holding the test paper high with both hands. The eunuch took the test paper and carefully placed it in front of the emperor. The emperor opened the first name Huiyuan test paper, looked at a few lines, and said: "It's really a good article, I want to know who this Huiyuan is right away!" ”

The emperor said that he was going to order someone to open the seal, but Wei Xiangshu said: "Congratulations to the emperor for winning the world's talents and winning the seal, but please ask the emperor to unveil the seal after all the imperial views, and the ministers are afraid that in case the draft ranking is improper!" ”

The ministers all said that Wei Xiangshu was reasonable, and the emperor had no choice but to rely on everyone and said, "Okay, I'll read it first." I've been angry and tired these days, but today I finally have a happy event to relieve my troubles! Hey, there are characters in the preface class who are so well written! Whose word is this? ”

Wei Xiangshu said: "Back to the emperor, the name of the person who copied this exam paper is Gao Shiqi, he has only recently served Zhan Shifu, and he has not yet made a name for himself." ”

The emperor was quite interested and said, "Gao Shiqi? If this head name Huiyuan is accompanied by this good word, it will be complete; If this good word is accompanied by good knowledge, it is all over! ”

Suo Etu glanced at Liu Kunyi, the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and expected him to say something. It turned out that Suo Etu believed in Zu Zeshen's physiognomy and had a close relationship with him. Suo Etu has a son who is very stubborn, and he can't teach him after inviting many masters, so he asked Zu Zeshen to find someone who is destined, maybe he can teach his son well. Zu Zeshen often wanders outside on weekdays, and secretly pays attention to Gao Shiqi for a while, seeing that he is a talent, he has no choice but to be repeatedly disappointed in the field. This time, Suo Etu wanted to extend the teacher's class, and Zu Zeshen invited him to go. I didn't know that Gao Shiqi also had no choice but to give up on Suo Etu's son. Suo Etu felt sorry for Gao Shiqi's poor background, and heard Zu Zeshen say that this person would have a prosperous day, so he asked Liu Kunyi for help and gave him a place to eat. It happened that the important person in the Gongyuan served as the preface writing class, and Liu Kun recommended him as soon as he saw Gao Shiqi's good handwriting.

Liu Kunyi is a cautious person, he doesn't know much about Gao Shiqi, and he doesn't want to talk casually. Unexpectedly, the emperor asked: "Liu Kunyi, Gao Shiqi is from your Zhan Mansion, why don't you listen to you?" ”

Liu Kun said: "Gao Shiqi has just entered the Zhan Mansion to worship, and the ministers don't know much about him, so it's inconvenient to say more. The minister will pay attention to this Gao Shiqi. But when it comes to the first name Huiyuan, when he shows his true body, his calligraphy may also be first-class, maybe it's all right! ”

Suo Etu saw that Liu Kunyi refused to do a favor, he was very unhappy, and he stiffened his head and said: "Back to the emperor, this Gao Shiqichen knows each other, and his knowledge is not bad, but he can't take the exam." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Where is this?" Most of my ministers were born in the imperial examination, so they can only take exams? ”

Suo Etu hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister lost his words, and the minister is guilty!" ”

The emperor still smiled and said, "I don't blame you, I'm happy today!" But I like this Gao Shiqi word! ”

The emperor just said it casually, but Suo Etu listened to it as if he had seen through the heavens. He thought that Zu Zeshen said that Gao Shiqi must be developed, maybe he was really right. Since then, Suo Etu has believed in Zu Zeshen's physiognomy even more, and he has also secretly helped Gao Shiqi more and more.

The emperor began to read, and the ministers retired. Two hours later, the emperor and his ministers entered. Wei Xiangshu saw that the emperor was overjoyed, and his heart that had been hanging was relaxed. The emperor smiled and said: "The world's best articles are here!" ”

Wei Xiangshu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it should be that all the talents in the world are here!" ”

The emperor looked at Wei Xiangshu and nodded, and said, "Wei Xiangshu is right, there are talented people in the world on my table!" Okay, the apricot list is fast, the tributes are looking forward to it! Come, unseal! ”

Wei bowed to the book and opened the Huiyuan test paper ordered by the emperor first. Unexpectedly, when the seal was opened, Chen Jing's name was revealed. The ministers standing below didn't know who it was, and the emperor said loudly: "It's actually Chen Jing!" Ho, it's Chen Jing! God has eyes! If I hadn't thought about going to the Gongyuan that day, I would have mistaken him! ”

Wei Xiangshu bowed and retreated, knelt down with the ministers, and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to the emperor, the ministers are mighty, and the scholars are returning to their hearts!" ”

The emperor laughed and shouted: "Quickly pass on Chen Jing!" I want to meet this Chen Jing right away! ”

The ministers looked at each other, and then looked at Suo Etu. Suo Etu's face suddenly sweated like rain, and he said in panic: "Your Majesty, Chen Jing still doesn't know his whereabouts!" ”

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Mingzhu, you go and find Chen Jing!" ”

Mingzhu took the order and left, Suo Etu was puzzled, and stood there stunned.

The spectators in the Dragon Pavilion outside Chang'an Avenue were blocked, and it turned out that the Ministry of Rites quickly posted the apricot list. Chen Jing's name was written on the head, and it didn't take long for someone to see that there was another Chen Jing below, but this year was really strange, and he won two Chen Jing. Dagui and Tian's mother happened to go to the street to buy things, and they heard that all four roads were talking about the list, but coincidentally, there were two Chen Jing this year, and one Chen Jing was still the first place. Tian's mother pulled Dagui to go to Chang'an Street to see for herself, but Dagui said that it was better to go back and report the news, anyway, Chen Gongzi had already been hit.

Tian Ma saw that someone was talking about this on the street, so she went up and asked, "Big brother, did you say Chen Jingzhong?" ”

The man looked at Tian Ma and said, "Yes, I hit two Chen Jing!" Are you Chen Jing's mother? Then congratulations! If you are the mother of Chen Jing, you will be even more blessed! ”

Dagui pulled his wife and said, "Go back and report the news!" ”

Along the way, the two of them only said that the first name must be our family, and looking at him like that is the appearance of the champion! When she returned home, Tian's mother couldn't tolerate Dagui's interference, and congratulated Chen Gongzi on winning the championship, so she said everything she heard on the street.

Chen Jing was still stunned there, but Mr. Li had already clapped his hands and was surprised: "Hit two Chen Jing?" This is unprecedented! ”

Chen Jing's face showed a slight joy, he thought about it and sighed, and said, "The first name will definitely not be me." The invigilator deliberately makes it difficult and interrupts me all the time, it would be good if I could finish the exam paper, and I can still count on the first place? It's good to fall into the top three, with Jinshi. ”

Tian Ma said: "I guess the top champion must be Chen Gongzi, looking at your good fortune, you can't run." ”

Mr. Li said with a smile: "Tian Ma, I trust you with auspicious words and bless Chen Gongzi to be the first one." But this name may be the champion, and it will be the champion if it is appointed by the emperor Lao Tzu after the palace test! ”

Tian Ma was confused, and only said: "How do I know this, I just should be on the list, and the first name is the champion!" ”

Yueyuan listened to the words of the adults, and naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed.

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door. Da Gui ran to open the door, and it was Mingzhu who came in with him, and there were a few people behind him. Chen Jing was startled, but when he saw Mingzhu smiling, he shouted loudly: "Chen Jing of the new branch will listen to the order!" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Mingzhu woodenly. Mingzhu smiled again and shouted: "Xinke Hui Yuan Chen Jing listens to the order!" ”

Chen Jing heard it clearly and asked, "Really?" ”

Mingzhu laughed and said, "Who has the courage to fake the holy decree?" It's not on the stage! ”

Only then did Chen Jing know that he knelt down, and Mr. Li was also busy kneeling, and beckoned Yueyuan to kneel. When Dagui and Tian's mother saw such a scene, they didn't know where to hide.

Mingzhu preached: "The emperor's edict, pass on the new branch of the Yuan Chen Jing to see you!" ”

Chen Jing finished thanking him, and Mingzhu asked him to get up and enter the palace quickly. Chen Jing arched his hand towards Mingzhu and said: "Chen Jing can have today, thank you Lord Ming for being thoughtful!" ”

Chen Jing thanked Mingzhu, walked in front of Mr. Li, knelt down, and bowed: "Thanks to the care of my predecessors, I am grateful!" Yueyuan didn't know what was going on, she just looked at Chen Jing and smiled. Mr. Li hurriedly pulled Chen Jing up and told him to enter the palace quickly.

Chen Jing followed Mingzhu into the palace, Yueyuan was full of joy and said: "Dad, Brother Chen is really amazing, he went to the exam with his head, and someone was mischievous, and he also took the first place!" He doesn't believe it himself! ”

Tian Ma came out of the house at this time and said, "Master Hexi, I just dropped a champion from the sky and came to the house!" ”

Mr. Li laughed out loud and said, "Tian Ma I said, Chen Jing is not the champion yet. ”

Tian Ma said: "This emperor is anxious to see him, can he still be the champion?" Wait! ”

Afraid that the emperor would wait for a long time, Mingzhu and several guards led Chen Jing to gallop on horseback. It didn't take long for him to arrive outside the noon gate, dismount and trot into the palace. Chen Jing didn't care about looking at the scenery in the palace, he only lowered his head and followed closely behind Mingzhu. After trotting for a while, Mingzhu suddenly slowed down and said, "Brother Chen, there is the Taihe Hall ahead, and the emperor is waiting inside." Let's walk slowly and take a breath. ”

Chen Jing looked up at this time, but when he saw the Taihe Hall standing in front of him, he was so majestic that people didn't dare to gasp. Chen Jing's heart was beating like a drum, but he quickly adjusted his breath and walked up the stairs unhurriedly.

Climbing up to the front of the Taihe Palace, a eunuch ran over, nodded to Mingzhu, and said softly to Chen Jing: "Come with me." ”

Just listening to the tone of the eunuch's speech, Chen Jing immediately felt that the surroundings were as quiet as nothing. The etiquette pearl in the palace had already been taught rudely on the road, Chen Jing bowed forward, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said: "Chen Jing knocks to see the emperor!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! ”

The emperor laughed and said, "The etiquette in this palace has not been taught yet, so you will know it all." You learned it in the countryside, right? ”

The ministers were rarely so happy to see the emperor, and they couldn't care about losing their bodies, so they all snickered. Chen Jing was terrified, and replied solemnly: "The minister's words come from the heart, and the love and admiration for the emperor do not need to be learned." ”

The emperor was very happy when he heard this, and said: "Okay, I see that you are young and old, and you are as good as your name, what a respectful character!" ”

Wei Xiangshu prelude: "Your Majesty, the strange thing is that there are two Chen Jing in the undergraduate who have won the tribute, and there is also a Chen Jing, the Shuntianfu clan, and there are one hundred and twenty tributes!" ”

The emperor was overjoyed: "There is such a coincidence? Okay, pay more respect, this is the well-being of the country! What the dynasty obeys is to respect the heavens and the ancestors! ”

The emperor groaned slightly, and then said: "In the future, the two Chen Jing will be officials in the same dynasty, and they can't be confused." How about I give you a court word, just call Chen Tingjing? ”

Chen Jing hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and said, "Thank you to the emperor for giving him the name!" Respect for the court's loyalty in this life and this life, respect the word first! ”

Chen Jing has been called Chen Tingjing since then, and the ministers looked at the young man and nodded. The emperor ordered Chen Jing to get up, and said a lot of words to the courtiers, and then moved to the Qianqing Palace, and Mingzhu drove with Suo Etu.

Chen Jing walked out of the Taihe Hall and wanted to find Wei to thank Master Shu, but he had long since disappeared. It turned out that Wei Xiangshu didn't want to get too close to Chen Jing in front of everyone, lest others gossip again, which would hurt him, so he went back to Hanlin Academy.

When Feng drove to the Qianqing Palace, Suo Etu took the time to ask Mingzhu: "How do you know Chen Jing's whereabouts?" ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "It should be called Chen Tingjing!" ”

Suo Etu hated it in his heart, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure on his face, so he only said: "His name is Chen Tingjing." Brother Mingzhu, you can make me miserable! ”

Mingzhu was still smiling and said, "What do you say about Brother Suo?" The emperor asks you to investigate clearly, and instructs me to make secret visits, and each performs its own duties. You didn't check it openly, I made a secret visit. I can't blame me! ”

Suo Etu said: "Then you have to tell me too?" Chen Tingjing asked you to hide, and I was also ordered to search around, so anxious that I couldn't sleep and couldn't eat! I always look forward to my attendant on the wheel on weekdays, but these days I am afraid of seeing the emperor! ”

Mingzhu patted Suo Etu on the shoulder, looking very affectionate: "Brother, I did everything according to the emperor's orders, you have to be considerate, you can't help yourself!" ”

Suo Etu asked again: "Then did Li Zhenye's case come from Chen Tingjing?" ”

Mingzhu shook his head for a long time, and said mysteriously: "It's not the case I asked, where do I know?" ”

Suo Etu guessed that Mingzhu knew everything, but he was just hiding it from him.
