Li Ke stared at Fang Yuan.

Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun also stared at Fang Yuan.

Several people had doubts and threats in their eyes.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I can't, it's just my duty."

"If Your Royal Highness forcibly asks for it, just take it, and I will truthfully convey your plan just now."

Fang Yuan also stared at Li Ke, not shying away from the other party's eyes.

If the prince forcibly asks for it, then Fang Yuan can't refuse, but he can report it to Li Shimin truthfully and make a small report.

"Presumptuous!"

"You want to use Your Majesty to suppress this king?!"

Li Ke's expression suddenly changed, and he scolded.

It was the first time he had been here for the first time that he had shown anger.

And Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun flashed a trace of panic.

They didn't ask Li Ke to come out at first because the candidate's question was what they wanted from the Hongnong Yang family.

If Fang Yuan reported to the emperor truthfully, the emperor might blame Li Ke and blame Li Ke for getting too close to Hongnong Yang.

"Your Highness misheard, I mean the duty."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

didn't take Li Ke's anger to heart.

In fact, as long as there is no power to remove from office, then you can not take the other party as the same thing.

But in the end, it is the prince, and the superficial respect must still be there, otherwise it is disrespectful to the royal family, and Zongzheng Temple will not give up.

"Then you can say that the king will take the candidate's food and accommodation."

Li Ke snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he stood up, looked down at Fang Yuan, and took a deep look.

Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun also stood up, all looking at Fang Yuan unkindly.

Fang Yuan's face sank, his good impression of Li Ke was greatly reduced, and there was no sympathy in his heart.

"Yo, the third brother is really domineering, forcibly seizing the power of Chang'an Ling, will Chang'an Ling still be responsible for the security of Chang'an County in the future?"

A neutral voice rang out from outside the door.

Without any announcement, I saw a young man walk in.

He wore a crown of white beads and a gold-colored four-clawed python robe.

You don't have to guess, just look at the dress and know who is coming, the prince Li Chengqian.

He was followed by several people, all of whom were about the same age as Li Chengqian.

"Meet the Prince!"

Li Ke and the others, who had already stood up, immediately saluted.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan also stood up and saluted the comer.

At the same time, I was shocked in my heart, why did the prince Li Chengqian also come?

First the third prince Li Ke, and then the crown prince Li Chengqian, why did they all come here?

It's just a small Beijing imperial examination, so you don't need the two princes to pay so much attention to it, right?

"No courtesy."

"Fang Ling, this palace didn't disturb your official business, right?"

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

walked straight towards Fang Yuan, as if ignoring Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't dare to have an opinion, and stood aside respectfully.

"Nope."

"May I ask why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and asked curiously.

"I just happened to be passing by, so I came in and had a look."

"Recently, the Beijing test is about to start, Fang Ling must not be lazy, if there is something that cannot be solved, you can ask the palace for help."

Li Chengqian said with a smile.

As he spoke, he looked at Li Ke on the side and continued: "The third brother has so much time to be here in Chang'anling, has he done his homework?" ”

"Prince Xie cares, and he has already done his homework."

Li Ke is colorful.

"That's good."

Li Chengqian nodded slowly.

There seems to be no thought of speaking again.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and everyone felt oppressed.

Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun stared at Fang Yuan, their eyes full of warnings.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister happened to have something to ask you about the imperial examination here."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said loudly.

When the words fell, the expressions of Li Ke, including Li Ke, changed slightly.

The warning in the eyes of Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun was even stronger.

"Please."

Li Chengqian said with a deep smile.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked for the candidate's right to eat and lodging."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

Tell me what just happened.

As Fang Yuan said it, the faces of Li Ke and Yang Yuzhi were even more ugly.

"Confused!"

"My father has emphasized several times in a row that we must attach importance to the imperial examination."

"The environment for site selection and living is not good, and it can't meet the needs of the majority of candidates, third brother, you better not interfere."

Li Chengqian immediately scolded Li Ke.

"Brother Huang, the plan can be perfected."

Li Ke frowned slightly and said respectfully.

"Then I'll come to Fang Ling after it's perfected."

"Like you, after taking power back, will you really want to optimize the plan?"

"Don't talk about my father, even this palace is not allowed to be ruined by you like this and be taken seriously for the first imperial examination."

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice.

"Brother Huang!"

Li Ke's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Go back."

"When to come up with a plan that satisfies Fang Ling, and when to come to Fang Ling again."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a straight face.

"Yes."

Li Ke opened his mouth, and finally said in a deep voice.

He turned around and walked towards the gate of the Chang'an County Ya.

"Retire!"

Yang Yuzhi and the county lord of Shouchun did not dare to be capricious.

He did not dare to leave until he made a serious salute to Li Chengqian.

It's just that before leaving, he glanced at Fang Yuan with gloomy eyes.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie helps."

Fang Yuan had to thank Li Chengqian.

Although not sure what his intentions were, he did help himself.

If Li Ke forcibly took away the candidate's right to eat and lodging, he could find the emperor.

But after looking for the emperor, I don't dare to guarantee what the result will be, and I don't know if the emperor will punish Li Ke.

Li Ke looks more like the emperor than Li Chengqian, maybe the emperor loves Li Ke very much, and he may not necessarily punish Li Ke heavily.

"It doesn't have to be that way."

"This palace just wants to do a small part for the candidates."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said with a smile.

Attaching importance to the imperial examination means attaching importance to the imperial court and the future of the Tang Dynasty.

As the crown prince and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian naturally supported the imperial examination.

Like the kind of plan that Li Ke came up with, don't say that the emperor may dislike it, but he also dislikes it.

Fang Yuan nodded, not thanking him again.

But I'm curious, why hasn't Li Chengqian left yet?

"Fang Ling, let me introduce you, this is Su Ziqing, the third beauty in Chang'an City."

"You may not know her, but her brother Su Chen, the commander of Liaoshan County, is your subordinate in Liaozhou."

Li Chengqian beckoned behind him.

A young girl dressed in purple walked out.

She has a melon seed face, her skin is white and red, her eyes are rippling, and her cherry lips are curved.

It is somewhat similar to the Liaoshan County Ling Su Chen mentioned by Li Chengqian, and it should be a brother and sister.

"Su Ziqing, meet Fang Ling!"

Su Ziqing walked out and saluted Fang Yuan slightly.

Her skin is as clean as snow, her hair is dense as weaving, and her slender figure is delicate and curved.

"I've seen Miss Su."

Fang Yuan returned the gift.

Without a trace, he looked at Su Ziqing.

Since it is Su Chen's brother, it is Su Chen's daughter.

History records that Li Chengqian married Su Yan's daughter, maybe this is it.

Her appearance is really exquisite, the posture of a sinking fish and a goose, and the color of a shy flower in the closed moon is difficult to describe her beauty.

Although Li Chengqian explained that she was the third beauty in Chang'an City, Fang Yuan felt that compared to Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng, they were all stunning beauties.

"Fang Ling, this time the little woman came with His Royal Highness the Prince, also because of the candidate's imperial examination."

"I, the Su family, want to be responsible for the accommodation of the candidates."

Su Ziqing said slowly.

The sound is as beautiful as a yellow warbler, as if it is singing.

"Your Highness, I hope to have a complete plan."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, looked at Li Chengqian and said.

Sure enough, it was because of the imperial examination, which was similar to Li Ke.

Moreover, Li Chengqian's status is even higher than Li Ke's, and it is even more difficult for Fang Yuan to refuse the other party.

"Hahaha, you can rest assured that this is it."

"As long as you feel that the plan is not working, let her change it to a position that you are satisfied with."

"Fang Ling, this palace has only one opinion, and that is to make this imperial examination perfect and make a show."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

After laughing, the smile slowly faded, and his face was normal.

The more the imperial court attached importance to the imperial examination, the more poor candidates participated in the imperial examination.

The more poor candidates enter the officialdom, the lower the family's control over the imperial court will be.

It may not work in the next three or five years, but in eight or ten years, there will be many new forces in the imperial court.

The new forces are naturally hostile to the families, and the two forces compete against each other, and the imperial power sits on the benefits of the fishermen, overpowering the families and the poor families.

As the crown prince, Li Chengqian supports and attaches importance to the imperial examination, and his ideas are not much different from Li Shimin.

"Fang Ling, don't worry."

"The little girl and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only have a deep personal relationship, and they are very clear in official affairs."

Su Ziqing also said slowly.

Beautiful eyes looked at Fang Yuan with a smile in her eyes.

"I see."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

At this moment, Fang Yuan felt that Li Chengqian was wise.

At least he was much wiser than Li Ke and knew the importance of the imperial examination to the imperial court.

Maybe it's the crown prince, who sees farther and knows how to support new forces to fight against the power of the family.

And Li Ke is more likely to want to rely on the strength of the family to confront Li Chengqian and compete for the throne.

"Since you think this palace is wise, why don't you hold a false position in the East Palace?"

Li Chengqian said with a deep smile.

Su Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Yuan's eyes and became surprised.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie is very kind."

"But Chang'an Ling is a special position, please forgive me."

Fang Yuan shook his head and refused.

He understood what Li Chengqian meant.

Holding a false position in the East Palace is a part of the East Palace, which means taking refuge in the prince.

However, as a traverser, although Fang Yuan felt that Li Chengqian was wise and wise, the future throne was not his, and he could not take refuge in him.

But the most important point is not this, but as a person who is clearly the emperor of Chang'an Ling, it would be foolish to go to the prince again.

"Hongu understands."

"Then the palace will go back first."

"Ziqing, you can stay and discuss with Fang Ling."

Li Chengqian smiled, not dissatisfied, and seemed to have guessed.

"Yes."

Su Ziqing said respectfully.

watched Li Chengqian leave with the others.

"Miss Su, please take a seat."

Fang Yuan sat down and invited Su Ziqing to sit down.

"Xie Fangling."

"What are Fang Ling's requirements?"

After Su Ziqing sat down, she asked directly.

"First, it's free or cheaper than an inn."

"Second, ensure that the environment is quiet and does not affect the rest of the candidates."

"Third, candidates have one room per person to ensure the safety of people and things."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

This is an initial idea, and it may change later.

After all, Fang Yuan was also in charge of the question of candidates taking the Beijing Examination for the first time.

"These are as they should be."

Su Ziqing nodded heavily.

"That's just what I'm thinking about for the time being."

"After all, this is the first time I've been in charge of these things."

"Miss Su can play freely on my basis and make a plan for me to review."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Good talking is good, not as difficult to communicate as Yang Yuzhi and his wife.

"That's fine."

"The little woman will come to Fang Ling tomorrow two days later."

Su Ziqing pondered for a moment and got up.

"Okay."

Fang Yuan also got up.

Ready to send Su Ziqing out.

But as soon as he got up, someone else arrived.

It's not an outsider, it's Du Miaoyan.

"Du Miaoyan?!"

"Su Ziqing?!"

Su Ziqing and Du Miaoyan looked at each other.

Invisibly, the two seem to be competing against each other.

But after a moment, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Fang Ling, don't send it, the little woman will say goodbye first."

Su Ziqing smiled.

Staggered Du Miaoyan and left directly.

"Fang Yuan, why is she here?"

Du Miaoyan walked towards Fang Yuan, her beautiful eyes slightly hostile.

"The prince brought it, saying that he would be responsible for the accommodation of the candidates for the Beijing examination."

"How do you think you not only know each other, but you are also hostile to each other?"

Fang Yuan beckoned Du Miaoyan to sit down and asked curiously.

Since I met Du Miaoyan, it seems that most of her temperament is plain and rarely shows hostility towards anyone.

"I'm from Jingzhao at the same time as her, so I've known her since I was a child."

"Don't look at her as harmless to humans and animals, and she also calls herself a little woman and looks vulnerable."

"But in fact, she is very treacherous, scheming, especially good at pretending, and her martial arts are also very high."

Du Miaoyan snorted coldly and said very dissatisfied.

"So scary?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

Although he briefly contacted Su Ziqing just now.

But from the conversation, you can also see the other party to some extent.

She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and a beautiful voice.

But when Du Miaoyan said this, Fang Yuan suddenly felt that Su Ziqing was terrible.

"Be careful with her."

"She's got hundreds."

Du Miaoyan sat nervously close to Fang Yuan.

The jade hand took the initiative to hold Fang Yuan's hand.

"Don't worry, with your reminder, I will watch out for her."

Fang Yuan's heart warmed, and he held Du Miaoyan's little hand with his backhand.

However, Fang Yuan was also a little curious, feeling that Du Miaoyan's worry was excessive.

He and Su Ziqing are just communicating on business, but there are too many intersections.

Maybe it's the jealousy between the same beauties, thinking about Fang Yuan and thinking about it deeply.

"Mm-hmm, that's good."

Du Miaoyan's face flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to lower her head.

She held Fang Yuan's hand uncontrollably just now, and was a little shy after being held by Fang Yuan's backhand.

This is the county government, and from time to time there will be officials walking back and forth, and it is quite shy to be seen.

"Is Uncle Du better?"

Fang Yuan asked.

Du Ruhui has woken up.

But he was still lying in bed and didn't get up.

His body was too weak to recover after being hit by the arrow.

"Okay, I'll come to you for these, he asked me to come."

Du Miaoyan's expression slowly returned to nature.

Although Fang Yuan holding her hand made her feel shy.

But with the consent of their parents, the two have nothing to worry about.

"Uncle Du, what's the matter?"

Fang Yuan suddenly asked curiously.
