536 Cheating in the imperial examination (3)

Her aunt opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. She wasn’t sure if she had forgotten or had no impression of such a large ” profit “.

At this moment, Leena asked in a tone of admiration, “”May I know Lord Xu’s name?”

She had learned this way of asking questions when she was wandering around Dafeng.

“Xu Qian!”

“Xu … Xu Qi. an …” Leena tilted her head and thought for a long time before suddenly screaming, ” you are Xu Qi ‘an. Didn’t you die in Yunzhou? ”

The aunt and Xu lingyue looked over suspiciously.

This foreign girl claimed to know Xu Qi ‘an, but she didn’t know that she had come back to life. Then, what was she doing here?

“Let’s talk in private.”

Xu Qi ‘an pulled Lina out of the side hall and stopped by the flowerbed. He explained,

“I’m not dead. Li Miaozhen made a mistake. Well, I’m actually a peripheral member of the Heaven and Earth Society. Although I don’t have the corresponding fragment of the Book of the Earth, I know your matters like the back of my hand.”

“No wonder Daoist priest Golden Lotus asked me to come and find you.” Lina smiled happily. She easily believed Xu Qi ‘an’s words without any doubt.

So easy to deceive … this is a secret, ” Xu Qi ‘an said sternly. you can’t reveal it to anyone, not even the members of the Tiandi society.

“Alright!”

Lina smiled sweetly and nodded her head vigorously. Her smile was very bright and beautiful. The southern border was hot, and Lina’s skin was a healthy wheat color. However, in the eyes of the great Judge beauty, who revered white skin and beauty, she was just a little dark-skinned.

“Let’s go eat.”

How good would it be if everyone in the world was as innocent and naive as number five. Xu Qi ‘an looked at the lively back and sighed with emotion.

He still had many things to ask number five, such as how she knew that it was number three who picked up the silver and not a friend out of nothing.

There was no rush. People with simple personalities were usually more stubborn. If they said to keep it a secret, they would keep it a secret.

However, her mouth was soft when it came to eating people. After a few more days of eating at home, as long as she had a little conscience, she would know that Bai Yan was wrong.

…………..

The inner Pavilion.

Wang zhenwen, dressed in a crimson robe, was bending over his desk and reviewing memorials. He had already been sitting there for four hours. He had gone to the toilet several times in between, and the rest of his time was devoted to official business.

The cabinet was equivalent to the emperor’s private secretary and had great power, far greater than the six ministries.

All the memorials of the court, big and small, and even the suggestions given to the Emperor by the common people, were collected by the Minister of administration and presented to the Emperor by the Bureau of rites before being submitted to the cabinet.

The cabinet was in charge of drafting the opinions, and then the Bureau of rites would report the opinions to the Emperor to decide how to deal with it. Finally, it would be checked by the six ministries.

During Emperor Yuan jing’s reign, the Minister of Foreign Affairs directly handed the memorial to the cabinet, where the cabinet drafted the opinions on the handling of the matter and finally handed it to Emperor Yuan jing.

A process was omitted in the middle.

This was because Emperor yuanjing believed that the extra process in the middle hindered his cultivation.

It was precisely this process that was omitted in the middle that was the most fishy. Because in this way, what Emperor Yuan jing saw was only the edict that the inner Pavilion had let him see.

Of course, although Emperor Yuan jing was not a good Emperor, he was an Emperor who was good at using power. In order to prevent the Civil officials from having too much power and overthrowing the Imperial power, he thought of a way that had the best of both worlds.

The name of this method was “Wei Yuan.”

In terms of the overall situation, the various parties and Wei Yuan’s party were like fire and water. In terms of the small scale, the various parties were fighting fiercely.

Emperor Yuan jing was in charge of maintaining the balance and cultivating with peace of mind.

Wang zhenwen opened the last Memorial. After reading its contents, he muttered to himself and sat quietly for a long time. Then, he took out a piece of paper, wrote down his suggestion, and pasted it on the memorial.

After doing all this, it was dusk.

…………

In the evening, Xu lingying’s mortal enemy appeared at the Xu family’s dining table.

Xu lingying both loved and hated this sister of his who came out of nowhere. He loved her because after her ” sister ” came, the food in the house increased several times.

He hated her because this big sister ate too much …

His mouth was so small, he couldn’t eat her at all.

Second uncle Xu’s face darkened as he looked at Lina. He turned to his nephew and asked, “”Is she from the Gu clan of the southern border, the strength Gu tribe?”

Leena raised her head from the bowl, rice grains still on the corner of her mouth, and said crisply, “”I’m from the strength Gu tribe, how did second uncle Xu know?”

Who is your second uncle? Xu Pingzhi coldly snorted.

During the Battle of Shanhai Pass, he personally experienced the battle and saw the terrifying power of the strength Gu tribe barbarians. Their specialty was their ability to eat.

It was normal for a strong strength Gu clan member to eat a whole cow a day.

Back then, Wei Yuan had never captured the strength Gu tribe members. He had killed them directly to save food.

“Big brother, I have something to tell you.” Xu niannian suddenly said.

“I knew you were busy, so I didn’t relax my brows. Tell me about it. ” Xu Qi ‘an replied to her cousin as she fought over the meat with Lina.

“The young lady of the Wang family invited me for a lake tour tomorrow,” Xu niannian said warily.

“What do you think?” Xu Qi ‘an muttered.

Xu niannian chuckled, put down his chopsticks, and said in disdain, “”There are only two reasons. One is because of a personal grudge and want to get back face for the niece of the Minister of Justice.

“It’s either chief advisor Wang doesn’t want to let me go and secretly held it in.”

“Which possibility do you think it is?” Xu Pingzhi continued.

Xu niannian thought for a while and said regretfully, ” although I may become chief advisor Wang’s mortal enemy in the future, I’m not that important to him. I think it’s miss Wang’s doing.

Hearing this, Xu lingyue put down her chopsticks and said with a serious face, ” second brother, you’re not good at dealing with women. I’ll go with you …

She quickly glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and changed her words, “”Although she doesn’t know how to fight, women still understand women the best.”

Xu niannian laughed at his eldest sister’s intelligence. who said I have to go? It’s miss Wang who invited me to the lake, not chief advisor Wang. In that case, it’s inappropriate for an unmarried man and woman to go to the lake together, so I’ll refuse.

cloud of war. When the enemy advances, I retreat. When the enemy is weak, we can’t challenge their edge.

Not bad, it’s been handled well … Xu Qi ‘an nodded. you’ve already decided. Why are you still asking me? ”

The family ate and talked, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

…………

The next day, Emperor Yuan jing finished meditating, studied the Scriptures for an hour, took the bait, and rested for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. The morning class was over.

Only at this time would he take some time to review the memorials. It would not take too much time, because the cabinet had already prepared the ” draft vote. he only needed to approve the red.

He opened the first Memorial, which was a Memorial from the newly appointed imperial censor of the left. The contents were impeaching the East Pavilion Grand Secretary, Zhao tingfang, for accepting bribes and leaking the topic to Yun Lu Academy’s students for the new year.

The booklet also provided evidence that during the village examination, the student’s poetry was of the fourth grade (the lowest fifth grade). How could he possibly write such a legendary work like “a difficult journey”?

Emperor Yuan jing didn’t pay much attention to it at first. Poems were not articles. If an article leaked the topic, it would be very serious. Poetry is a bit lighter. Even if you know the question, you will find that finding a poetry talent is harder than getting the question.

But then, the memorial mentioned that the student had a cousin, Xu Qi ‘an, who was the silver Gong of the Yamen.

Everyone knew that Xu Qi ‘an was the best poet in Dafeng.

After reading the memorial, Emperor Yuan jing’s eyes became sharp, but he did not express his opinion. Then he took down the ” vote draft ” of the cabinet, on which the cabinet’s proposal was written:

“The imperial examination has always been the most important thing since ancient times. Fraud in the imperial examination is intolerable. I hope your Majesty will investigate it strictly.”

Emperor Yuan jing pondered for a moment, then he picked up the brush and marked the red.

I’m very grateful to you, big shots. I’ll definitely repay you with everything I have.

On behalf of Xu bailing, he asked, “Are the big shots rewarding me or the little mares?
