Chapter 228: The Five Years (I)

It is worth mentioning that the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion do not really belong to Li Si.

The official mansion, as the name suggests, is owned by the official family, and the prime minister's mansion, according to this statement, is also under the jurisdiction of the prime minister.

You will be the prime minister for one day, and the prime minister's mansion will belong to you for one day, but people will always be old, and the prime minister will also have the day when he returns to his hometown, and on that day, this mansion will be taken back.

The government belongs to the official family, not the official, so it does not belong to you.

Unless there are exceptions, the emperor orders you to be rewarded, and when you are old, you can still live in this mansion, and when the next prime minister takes office, a new one will be built.

However, this kind of special case is not nothing, but it is very rare, a mansion must not be perfunctory, but this capital is every inch of land, and the continuation of thousands of years is not to expand the capital again and again, in fact, Beiyang City has expanded a lot to the surroundings.

When the time comes, if you find that something is missing in the house, you will generally not blame the past, after all, people have worked hard all their lives, not to mention that they lost it unintentionally, even if they hide some selfish intentions and take some things as the cost of returning home, no one is embarrassed to say anything.

But if it is pursued, it can be pursued at all.

The Prime Minister's Mansion lost a lock, which could make the Prime Minister panic to such an extent, and even hurriedly sent his son to a place where the imperial power in the south could not touch to save his life, which seemed a little too ridiculous.

If it is really just a loss of a lock for himself, of course it is ridiculous, even if Li Si was found to be missing something in the mansion when he was old, let alone a lock, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion was tossed and collapsed, no one would use this to punish him.

However, the Prime Minister's nervousness is not unreasonable, and if the lock is lost, it proves that someone took it.

The lock of the firewood room was lost, and most of it had nothing to do with the cook.

As for the cook, Li Si always knew that he had been bought a long time ago.

On top of the court, with his back against the dragon chair and the seal of the Son of Heaven, if you want to die, you can't get out of the court.

And in your own mansion, you have mastered every meal you eat, and you are also in control of your lifeblood.

This happened to many officials in the city, but not all.

As Li Si said, not to mention that the lock is just an ordinary iron lock, even if it is a gold lock, it can't be sold with the official seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one dares to accept this kind of thing, after all, it is a capital crime of killing the head.

If it's really for money, there are a lot of precious herbs and food in the kitchen, which is more convenient to fill your pocket.

Something with a mark means that it is easy to leave evidence, and it also means that it is easy to make evidence, and it is related to He'an County, and the prime minister, who is also a scheming minister, understands everything.

He's already in danger.

Li Shen, the son of the prime minister, went out of the city with the edict, but the edict was discarded by him on the way, and he did not go to He'an County to receive military power.

A month later, the two men who had left the city returned, and one of the black-clothed young men sat on horseback and felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't think of a reason.

But whether it's right or wrong, it has nothing to do with him, and in the past month, he has also been very nervous, but fortunately, as Wang Zhaojun said, no one dares to assassinate him under his nose, so he is very safe.

However, he was nervous about another matter, the entrance examination of the Spirit Academy was imminent, and people from all walks of life were flocking to the city.

He was the last to arrive, a little later than many foreigners from other countries.

Wang Zhaojun entered the palace to restore his life, and Xu Changan was busy rushing to the examination room.

Li Si stood in the mansion, looked up at the sky, and let out a wry smile, at the beginning of July, the weather was not mild, and Prime Minister Li Si had already taken off the official mansion, dressed in plain clothes, waiting for his home.

In the palace, the evidence that the two men brought back from thousands of miles to the scene of the crime was an arrowhead.

The seemingly ordinary iron arrowhead has a trace of imprint that still remains after being cast, and after comparing the texture and purity of the iron in the Tingwei Mansion, everyone has discovered a terrifying truth.

Arrows and crossbows are strictly controlled in various places, and it is simply wishful thinking to forge a batch of bows and crossbows without the knowledge of others, and it may be also wishful thinking to build a car behind closed doors at home, but the evidence is as urging as a mountain.

After two days of investigation, it was easily found out that a month ago, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion had gone out late at night and asked someone to build a new lock and hang it in the firewood room.

It's not that the housekeeper is unfavorable, but the prime minister knows that this matter will be revealed sooner or later, and creating a new lock is not only to confirm his own crime, but also to hide people's eyes and ears to make people think that he is trying every means to remedy it, and he wants to save the matter, only in this way can his son have the opportunity to escape with the edict.

In this way, the young prime minister fell.

The position of Tai Lieutenant has always been vacant, and now there is only one of the third dukes, the one who changed to a cook in the house not long ago, so that it seems that the young master of his own family is not used to eating the imperial doctor, Cui Ren.

The most advantageous assistant of the eldest prince is no longer there, and it is not difficult to guess who instructed the prime minister to do such a thing, even if there is no evidence to prove it, but they are all people with brains, and they will not just wait for evidence.

As a result, the officials that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince can control are also lost one by one.

However, His Royal Highness the eldest prince himself was not discouraged, nor did he have the slightest gain or loss, he still often walked around the old streets and alleys, and every time he returned to the palace, it was late at night, and the time to enter the palace was less, which made many people think that he was going to give up fighting with His Majesty the Emperor.

The little remaining force is also the return of the old, the fall of the downfall.

His Majesty the Emperor has mastered the only three dukes and the newly added Jiuqing, but only the two of them.

One is the writer of Taichang Temple, and the other is the teenager who helped him find out about the case.

The examination of the Spirit Academy began, and His Majesty the Emperor drove to preside over the examination room, while the Dean was still lying in the courtyard, looking at the swallow that he had returned.

Ju'an seemed to be busier, Yang Hejiu was still not allowed to go out, the noise in the examination room, and the tranquility in the courtyard.

The incident happened in the spiritual academy, but the slightest noise was made by those who had not entered, and it had nothing to do with the spiritual academy.

In the process of investigating the case, Xu Changan learned from Wang Zhaojun that if he wanted to take the exam, he had to have a document issued by the territory to take the exam, and on the way he went back to Sifang City again, even if he was accompanied by the imperial history of He'an County, he still did not find out where his household registration was in the official mansion of Sifang City.

This also shows that although he has been in that city since he was a child, he does not seem to belong to that city.

He went back to his yard again, but he didn't see the child who cried when he hit it, and learned from his mother that he was going to join the army, and he should be with Lin Ying, so he didn't insist on taking him to the capital.

If he doesn't have a household registration, he can't issue paperwork and take exams, but these don't matter to him.

Doing things for the emperor is not a small risk, and the benefits are also a lot, although you can't be guaranteed to enter the Spirit Academy, but it is not a problem to fight for a place to take the exam.

This year's exam is different from previous years, it is not a literary exam, nor is it any other test, but a martial arts exam.

At the martial arts meeting, Xu Chang'an, who was carrying a black sword, met the annoying Emperor His Majesty for the first time.

In this hated city, he met a hated person, and Xu Chang'an's mood was really not good.

If you are in a bad mood, you will naturally start a lot heavier, and you will shine in the martial arts, although it is not easy, but you have also successfully entered the Spirit Academy and become a student of the Spirit Academy.

The number of batches is not clear, but after that, he is the first disciple of the dean.

Lord Goshi is no longer Lord Goshi, and it is also one of the responsibilities of Dr. Goshi.

The vacancy of the Taiwei is because of the imperial power, the Taiwei can only be vacant, but the prime minister cannot remain vacant, after all, the imperial doctor belongs to the deputy prime minister, and the positive one is gone, and the deputy replaces him, which is very logical and in line with the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.

Two months later, several people in the city each received the same gift from the state of Chu, contained in a not-so-delicate box, each with a letter on it.

The beacon fire has been in March for three months, the family letter is worth 10,000 gold, and the war between Qi and Chu is about to start, and it is extremely rare to receive a gift from Chu at this juncture.

There are two names written on the letter, Xu Chang'an, Hua Rong, and the last one is just a title, and Mr. received it.

Xu Changan is no stranger to these gifts, and he is not the slightest surprised, but he always feels that it seems too small when he stares at this box.

The last letter was sent into the Spirit Academy with the box, and the remaining two couldn't wait to run into the Red Mansion.

In the past two months, Xu Changan has not only become familiar with the spiritual academy, but also flourished in this building.

Unceremoniously walked into Huarong's room, sat on a chair and stared at the two boxes, eager to open and look.

Hua Rong knew that it was this kid who came when he heard the movement, and walked out of the back room, looking at the gift and really puzzled.

Come on, what kind of gifts do you bring, this girl and Xu Changan have been together for a long time, and they will occasionally say a few jokes.

The two of them opened it together, and what was inside was not the melon that the big Si Nong had planted, but a handful of beans.

planted melons, but what he never wanted to harvest was a handful of beans, Dasi Nong admitted in his heart that what Xu Changan said was right, that land may really not be suitable for growing melons.

Hua Rong had tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he walked to the window and looked at the city with some reluctance, his eyes looked south, which was the direction of the Spirit Academy.

And in the Spirit Academy, Yang Hejiu took the gift that Xu Changan had just sent and frowned slightly, stroked his chest with one hand, and took out a jade pendant to look at it for a long time.

Going around and around, Hua Rong still lives in the Red Mansion, and he and Yang Hejiu have never met each other.

And Xu Changan finally entered the Spirit Academy, and finally met Jiang Ming in this city after a long absence.

When she said goodbye, she was dressed in new clothes, red like a wedding dress.

When I woke up from the dream, I realized that the man had become a wife.

A red dress is indeed a wedding dress, the red is too deep, the fate is too shallow, and the former woman in green finally bowed her head in front of the hall.

The object of marriage is still the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it doesn't seem to matter who this woman marries.

Her father-in-law is her father-in-law, the young master Cui in Xu Chang'an's mouth, the two were happy after marriage, and they had a son not long after, whose name was Cui Ming.

This name may not be very good, and it is a little too unfortunate to say that the homonym is often chanted in Xu Chang'an's mouth.

But the two don't care, these three have a good relationship, and it's normal to joke with each other.
