As night fell, King Jing's mansion in the capital.

Early tomorrow morning, Zhu Zaizhen will set off from the capital and go to his fiefdom of De'an.

After Zhu Zaizhen noticed the movement outside, he couldn't help but be curious, and immediately ordered his subordinates on the side.

"You go and see, what's going on outside, why is it so lively?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, the subordinate who was called by Zhu Zaizhen immediately responded.

Then, he left the room with brisk steps.

After a while, he came back and told Zhu Zaizhen all the reasons.

"Your Highness, outside is a group of candidates who have just taken the entrance examination, and they are arguing about the ranking of the article."

"Not long ago, Yan Ge Lao promised to mark these candidates, but only the top three can win this honor!"

After Zhu Zaizhen learned the news from his subordinates, he couldn't help but sneer and said to himself.

"This Yan Song is quite good at buying people's hearts!"

Then, I saw Zhu Zaizhen turn his gaze to his subordinates on the side, and immediately asked.

"By the way, the invitations have been sent out, right?"

Hearing this, the subordinate's face instantly turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and said hesitantly.

"Temple...... Your Highness, the invitations have been sent out, but those officials are ......"

"It's all about finding all kinds of reasons to shirk it, right?"

Zhu Zaizhen took in the expressions on his subordinates' faces and added.

"Yes, Your Highness, those officials who originally had close personal relations with us have also unknowingly alienated us."

Seeing this, the previous subordinate plucked up his courage and responded tremblingly.

Although Zhu Zaizhen had already done the corresponding psychological construction before this, when he really learned the news from the mouths of his subordinates, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

"These damn wall grasses, when Lone inherits the unification in the future, they must be cleaned up well!"

After Zhu Zaizhen scolded secretly, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank all the wine in the cup.

At this moment, I saw the previous subordinate take a step forward and lower his voice.

"Your Highness, before this, the little one once overheard a message!"

"Oh, what's the news?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zaizhen instantly became interested, and immediately asked.

"Your Highness, that's right, the Heart Nourishing Hall where His Majesty lived before has collapsed due to disrepair, and it is said that a lot of bricks and tiles have fallen."

"Then, Your Majesty moved from the Heart Cultivation Palace to the Ganlu Palace for a while!"

After listening to this, Zhu Zaizhen's face was full of disappointment, and he interrupted impatiently.

"You still need to say this matter, Lone already knew about it!"

Seeing this, the subordinate was not discouraged and immediately continued.

"Your Highness, you might as well think about it at a deeper level, what does Your Majesty's move mean?"

At this moment, Zhu Zaizhen also reacted quickly and said in surprise.

"You mean to say that the situation on Yuwang's side is not optimistic!"

When the previous subordinate heard this, he hurriedly corrected him.

"To be exact, only the situation on Yuwang's side is not optimistic!"

"Let me ask, if Your Highness, you have made some achievements in the fiefdom, will your Majesty be impressed?"

"In addition, since you are far away from the capital, you don't have to be under the watchful eye of others all the time, and the chance of making mistakes will be greatly reduced!"

"Sometimes, staying away from the whirlpool of the capital is not a bad thing!"

"Therefore, Your Highness, you just need to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity with peace of mind, and when the time is ripe, you will be like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss!"

After listening to the analysis of his subordinates, Zhu Zaizhen's eyes burned again with a light called hope, and he said secretly.

"I'm in the prime of life now, I just need to compare with my father who can live longer!"

"When the time is ripe in the future, there may not be no competition!"

……

Since the answer sheet is handed in, it will be immediately sealed and preserved, and the whole process must be handled by a special person!

After these answer sheets are transported to the designated place, there will be special officials to copy the answer sheets in a vague name, so as to prevent some officials from secretly making marks on the answer sheets, and in the process of copying in the name, there are also special officials to supervise!

Once the official in charge of supervision discovers any fraud, he can deal with the official involved at will without reporting!

After these tedious and complicated processes, the copied answer sheet will be sent to the examiner.

Because there are not many candidates who came to the capital to take the entrance examination, there are nearly 200 people.

Therefore, the imperial court only appointed eight examiners, including Yan Shifan, to be responsible for reviewing the answer sheets of these candidates.

"Little Pavilion Elder, please take a look at this article!"

At this moment, I saw an examiner who was not sure of the scale, and immediately asked Yan Shifan for advice.

"Show me!"

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he took the answer sheet from the hand of the visitor and began to read it carefully.

After a long time, I saw him put the answer sheet in his hand aside, and said helplessly.

"The article is good, and the idea is also very novel, but it's off topic, let's fall down!"

Seeing Yan Shifan, the chief examiner, speak, the official was also relieved, and immediately responded.

"Yes, Little Pavilion Elder!"

Immediately, the answer sheet was annotated with the word 'dethroned' and was summarized into many waste papers on the side.

With the passage of time, Yan Shifan has gradually become numb, and he can't remember how many answer sheets he has reviewed.

Seeing that many of the officials in the room were exhausted, Yan Shifan immediately ordered.

"Let's get here for the time being!"

Hearing this, those officials who had long been exhausted hurriedly responded with gratitude.

"Yes, Little Pavilion Elder!"

Immediately, I saw Yan Shifan summon the officers and soldiers guarding the door, and after all these examination papers were stored, they were transported to a special place where the answer sheets were stored, and after they were properly preserved, today's work was over.

……

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, King Jing Zhu Zaizhen officially embarked on the road to the fiefdom.

Before this, he had already transported most of his luggage to the fiefdom one step ahead.

Its entire team was escorted by a large number of guards, and anyone who had the intention of approaching would be severely reprimanded!

When King Jing's team had just walked out of the capital, Zhu Zaizhen suddenly ordered the team to stop marching.

I saw him lift the curtain of the carriage and look back, as if he wanted to imprint the scenery of the capital in his mind.

Immediately, I saw Zhu Zaizhen retract his gaze and muttered to himself silently.

"I don't know when I'll be able to come back!"

"Let's hope everything goes well!"

After speaking, Zhu Zaizhen closed the curtain of the carriage without hesitation and ordered the team to move forward again.

Seeing this situation, Jin Yiwei, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, and observing the situation, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go back now and tell your lord the news!"

"Yes!"

……

"Your Majesty, King Jing has now left the capital and officially went to the fiefdom to take up the domain!"

In the Ganlu Palace, when Jiajing learned the news, there were not too many emotional fluctuations on his face, and he immediately commanded.

"Well, I know about this matter, let all the Jinyi guards along the way withdraw, and there is no need to follow."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
