"Five five?"

Mount mount blink a bright eye, surprised way: "dog slave you grasp quite big."

Then, that pair of small charming peach blossom eyes, glanced at Huaiqing, hummed: "you want to enter the palace, just look for me, why take some unimportant people."

"I've got a lot of guts lately." Huaiqing nodded and walked towards her.

According to the past situation, Lin'an must be scared at this time. He jumped like a rabbit and then slipped away.

But this time, she didn't leave. She held her chest up and pinched her waist. She chose to be hard and warm. She cried in a crisp voice, "what's wrong with what the Palace said?"

Xu Qi'an stood between them quietly and said with a bitter smile, "don't make trouble, your Highnesses. There are outsiders around. Don't make people laugh."

Are you not an outsider? Huaiqing glanced at him.

She has a well-developed body, but her temperament is just like Huaiqing's frown. She realizes that the relationship between Yinluo xuning banquet and Lin'an is heating up rapidly in a short time.

For example, Xu Qian interposes between them with his back to Lin'an and faces her. It's a subconscious move to protect the former.

For another example, when they came together, Lin'an and Xu Ningyan were very close to each other, which was beyond the etiquette range between ministers and princesses.

Obviously, Xu Ningyan has gradually moved closer to Lin'an. This discovery makes Huaiqing feel inexplicably upset and uncomfortable.

"Didn't your highness ask me how I planned to deal with this case? I didn't say at that time because I was not sure. Now, we've done everything we need to do. It's up to us to plan, and it's up to us to accomplish. "

Xu Qi'an leads the conversation and doesn't give the two princesses a chance to force each other. Seeing that he has attracted the attention of Huai Qing and Lin'an, he continues with a smile:

"at the beginning, what bothers me is how to prove Erlang's innocence and that he didn't cheat, so I racked my brains. But it turned out later that it didn't matter whether he cheated or not. "

Xu Xinnian is just the beginning of the political game between civil servants, a reason, or a knife.

In popular terms, Xu Erlang was a victim of political struggle.

Therefore, the crux of the problem lies in the word "political struggle". Only by winning this war can Erlang get a fair trial.

Otherwise, it is very important for a guy who has no backing in the court to be innocent?

Huaiqing nodded slightly and said, "what you have to do is to find him a helper who can win the court situation. That's the difficulty.

"As a student of Yunlu academy, he is destined to be a rootless duckweed. It's lucky that all of you don't go down the drain and help him.

"If Duke Wei takes action, those neutral civil servants will come to an end. No one wants to see the alliance between Wei Gong and Yunlu Academy. I'm afraid Wang Shoufu won't turn a blind eye to it. "

Huaiqing can see these mysteries clearly. It's the word "helper" that bothers her.

Without Wei Yuan, how could Xu Qi'an find out the forces in the court hall that could compete with the imperial censor of zuodou, sun Shangshu, Duke Cao and the Minister of the Ministry of war?

All his strength is Wei Yuan.

In this game, yuanjingdi is just a referee... As long as he doesn't take the initiative to play Erlang, I can still have a try... Xu Qi said with ease.

...

after entering the Jinluan hall and keeping silent for a quarter of an hour, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty arrived late.

The reincarnated old emperor, wearing a simple Taoist robe and floating sleeves, looked like a Taoist rather than an emperor.

After the normal play, sun Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment suddenly stepped out and said in a loud voice: "I have something to play."

In a flash, all eyes looked at the back of Fei's robe, and the atmosphere of the imperial court was slightly dead. At this moment, it was like a turbulent undercurrent.

A whirlpool in the court hall between the transmission, turbulent.

The foreplay is over and the curtain is slowly opening.

Yuan Xiong, the imperial censor of zuodou, and Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war, quietly straightened their backs and showed strong fighting spirit and confidence.

The Dali Siqing and other parties involved in the incident, who are not only waiting for the opening of the show, but also eager to retaliate against Xu Qian and Wei Yuan.

Zhao Tingfang, a Bachelor of Arts, is a lonely man with a tight brow.

At ordinary times, I am not afraid of the provocation between the parties and the Minister of the Ministry of war. However, now the Minister of the Ministry of war comes with the "general trend" and binds the students of Dongge University and Yunlu academy together. If we want to clean up the grievances of Dongge University, it is equivalent to cleaning up the grievances of Xu new year. There are too many enemies.

Inside and outside the hall, the rest of the neutral parties tacitly watch the excitement and watch the changes. If we say that the position is naturally in favor of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, it can not be in favor of Yunlu Academy.

"Aiqing, please." Emperor yuan Jingdi sat on the Dragon chair with a strong air.

"I have been ordered to investigate the case of Zhao Tingfang, a Bachelor of Dongge University, who accepted bribes and gave away the question to Xu Xinnian, a candidate. Now the truth has come to light. There are three persons involved in the case: Xu Xinnian, a student of Yunlu Academy; Zhao Tingfang, a Bachelor of Dongge University, and his housekeeper as an intermediary."In addition, according to Xu Xinnian's account, he was a strong Dongge bachelor through his brother Xu Qian."

Sun Shangshu finished his memorial.

The corresponding confessions were presented to the emperor one step ahead of time. Everything discussed at the court meeting was presented with memorials one day in advance.

Yuan Xiong, the censor of the left capital, turned his side and gave Wei Yuan a blank look.

Other officials also looked at Wei Yuan and waited for his response and counterattack. Sun Shangshu forced Wei Yuan into the water and did not give him the opportunity to stand by.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

At this time, a gray haired old censor came out. It was Zhang Xingying who made great contributions in Yunzhou.

Yuan Jingdi's answer did not change. He said in a deep voice, "Aiqing, please say it."

Zhang Xingying glanced at Sun Shangshu and said in a loud voice, "I want to sue sun min, the Minister of criminal justice, for abusing his power. Your majesty, please order the joint trial of the three departments to investigate the fraud cases of the imperial examination again. "

This is a common move in officialdom: drag word formula!

The effect of this move depends on the meaning of the emperor.

That's it? Sun Shangshu sneered and retorted: "this case was ordered by your majesty himself. The Ministry of punishment and the government jointly tried it and supervised each other. How can we say that it was a case of" Qu Da Cheng Zhao ".

"Your majesty will send someone to find out whether the three criminals are in prison or not."

Emperor Yuanjing nodded slowly, stopped looking at censor Zhang, and asked, "ladies and gentlemen, how do you think we should deal with this case?"

Zhang Xingying stood there disappointed.

Sun Shangshu glanced back at governor Zhang, with slight disdain in his eyes. He was so weak to fight back. Was he going to give up?

At the same time, sun Shangshu is also inevitably disappointed. His Majesty's attitude is very clear, and it is useless to procrastinate, but he did not immediately determine the nature of the case.

Your majesty is giving Wei Yuan and Zhao Tingfang a chance to fight back.

But yuan Xiong, the imperial censor of Zuo Du, who wanted to drag Wei Yuan into the water, immediately stepped out and bowed: "Your Majesty, I feel that the nature of this case is extremely serious. After several days of fermentation, people in the capital are all aware of it. The students are full of resentment, and the people are filled with righteous indignation. If we do not strictly handle it, it is not enough to calm the people's indignation."

At this time, the Minister of Dali Temple stepped out, shook his head and said, "that Xu Qi'an represents the fighting method of Si Tian Jian, who has made great achievements and cannot be dealt with."

This is the speech of the Minister of Dali temple. He set up an arrogant image of "Xu Qi'an is proud of his achievements" for emperor Yuanjing and all the officials in the hall.

If he said this, Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty would have to deal with him. Otherwise, he would have verified the saying of "taking advantage of self pride" and set a very bad example.

Zhao Tingfang's party members came out one after another to refute.

The court officials waited for a moment, and were surprised to find that Wei Yuan didn't speak, and the censor under his hand also stopped.

Is he going to give up his confidant Xu Qian?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the minds of the officials in the hall, the wind direction changed quietly, and the Ministry of official affairs came out and made a tentative speech:

"the Minister of Dali temple said that this case must be dealt with strictly, and it must not be tolerated, otherwise the imperial court will have no prestige, and his majesty will have no prestige."

For a time, the six departments came out one after another to support the view of the Minister of Dali temple.

As one of the promoters, but he didn't speak, he turned to look at Cao Guogong.

Now that the civil servants have made their stand, the Duke of Cao, who is the first-class Duke, will be able to form a powerful force in the palace. Your majesty has no reason and will not fight against maimang for the sake of a bachelor.

Cao Guogong's expressionless appearance affected the eyes of the surrounding ministers and Xun GUI.

Cao Guogong also contributed to the "imperial examination fraud case"... If he represented Xun GUI and Wei Yuan, who had lost the opportunity, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around. For him, Xu new year might not be important. However, this will make him and his confidant Xu Qi'an have irreparable resentment... The princes thought.

After being released from the public service, Cao and sun Shangshu bowed to each other and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the Ministry of punishment and the government are too reckless in handling this case. Zhao Tingfang, a Bachelor of Dongge University, has always been incorruptible and has a good reputation. How can he accept bribes?

"In addition, although Xu Xinnian is only a student, Yunlu academy has not seen" Huiyuan "for many years. If such a rash decision is made, the great scholars of the Academy will not give up."

Cao Guogong's words are actually very simple: Xu Xinnian is the key student of Yunlu Academy. When dealing with him, we should consider the attitude of the academy and not be too heavy.

Sun Shangshu stiffened his neck, turned his head a little, and stared at Cao Guogong in disbelief.

His face changed slightly. Before impeachment, they had a conspiracy. Later, Princess Cao joined hands with Xun GUI to support them.

The formation of multi tacit understanding of the alliance, work together.

At this moment, Yuan Xiong and Qin Yuandao are angry that "revolution" has been betrayed.

What's going on?!

It's hard for all the princes in the hall to hide their astonishment. Has Duke Cao changed his camp? What's the significance of his contribution to the fire beforeAll of a sudden, the princes were shocked and looked at Wei Yuan.

When did Wei Yuan persuade Cao Guogong and what interests did he promise?

Just as the princes were speculating, Wei Yuan turned around and took a rather unexpected look at the Duke of Cao.

Wei Yuan seems to be very surprised, and he doesn't know about it...... this detail falls into the eyes of the public, which makes the ministers more and more puzzled.

For a moment, the situation in chaotang suddenly became treacherous.

The ministers fell into silence, did not immediately jump out to refute, chose to watch the development of the situation.

But the Minister of the Ministry of war could not keep silent. He took the first three steps and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, this is what Cao Guogong said. Just think, if Xu Xinnian is a student of Yunlu academy, he will be treated lightly. What does the Academy think? What do scholars think?

"In those days, Emperor Wenzu set up Guozijian to sweep the scholars of Yunlu academy out of the court. What was the purpose? It is because the scholars of Yunlu academy have no eyes on the king, and they confuse the law with writing.

"Cheng Yasheng set up a stele in Yunlu academy and engraved an inscription:" to uphold justice, to repay the king's kindness through death, and to have a lasting reputation. It is to tell the people of later generations how to be loyal and patriotic.

"Do you want to make the helpless repetition of emperor Wenzu?"

Emperor Yuanjing narrowed his eyes in an instant. He was no longer indifferent and became a king with great power.

Great!

Sun Shangshu and the Minister of Dali temple had a little bit of a fight. It was like drawing a line on the court hall. One side was a scholar from the Imperial College, the other side was Yunlu Academy.

How to choose the dispute of orthodoxy?

In the new year, Xu Wenchen will not only have to consider his own position, but also will not deviate from it.

Yuan Yuyuan had to laugh when he came down from school. But he can be a eunuch leader, because he is not a scholar from the imperial examination.

What will Wang Shoufu say when Wei Yuan comes down? What will the other neutral civil servants do?

To drag Wei Yuan into the water and defeat him with the general situation, let him compromise and give way out of the control of the duchayuan, which is an important plan of the zuodou censor in the near future.

"Hum!"

At this time, a cold hum full of great anger rang out in the hall.

The prince in dark yellow Panlong suit stepped out, his face was very blue, his temples were frosty white, his eyes had deep crow's feet, and he looked very old.

Seeing him out, Qin Yuandao, the Minister of the Ministry of war, who had just been filled with emotion, was in vain.

"Two hundred years on, I have never heard of the scholars of Yunlu academy doing something against the princess. This is the so-called loyalty and patriotism of your scholars in the Imperial College? "

King Yu yelled: "hypocrisy!"

Then he bowed to Emperor Yuanjing and said, "Your Majesty, I don't care about the truth of the imperial examination fraud. My younger brother just felt that all the officials of the Ministry of punishment were so stupid and incompetent.

"If they can handle the case, how can my poor Pingyang die of injustice? If it wasn't for the watchman, Yin Luo and Xu Qi'an, to thoroughly investigate the case, I'm afraid they would not be able to get rid of the injustice today.

"The imperial examination fraud case is of great importance. I hope your majesty will try it again, and the three departments will try it together with the watchmen."

Emperor Yuanjing frowned and hesitated.

King Yu immediately cried: "Your Majesty, my poor Pingyang..."

shameless!

Sun Shangshu, the Minister of Dali temple, the censor of zuodu, the Minister of the Ministry of war and others changed their faces. The case of Princess Pingyang was a thorn between the civil servants and Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty.

The Minister of the Ministry of war told emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty that the scholars of Yunlu academy could not control it. Now, Yuwang is telling yuanjingdi that the scholars of Guozijian also have the intention of murdering the imperial clan and will take action.

Wei Yuan laughs in his heart. It's in his expectation that the boy can ask King Yu for help. However, he has a general guess about why Duke Cao is in the war, but it can't be verified now.

Although Xu Ningyan was not good at party struggle, he was highly savvy and saw the situation to the point.

At this time, the Duke of Cao and the rest of the nobility agreed with each other and formed a confrontation with the civil servants.

Wang Shoufu looked on coldly, but his heart was quite surprised. At present, the situation of Xun GUI's confrontation with Wen Chen was unexpected to him.

Cao Guogong and Yuwang are not the same people, and they are not the same people as Wei Yuan, but the fact that both sides join hands is indeed indisputable.

Who is behind all this?

The man behind the scenes clearly knows who his enemy is, and thus launches strategies to find forces that can compete with the "enemy".

Yuwang... The case of Princess Pingyang... It's him?! Then Wang Fu's face flashed back and he thought.

Sun Shangshu and others were awe struck by the sharp turn of the situation. If the case is tried again and the watchman's Yamen is involved, all the plans will fail.Eventually, there will be a situation of multi-party wrangling and stalemate.

Although Xu Xinnian is unable to take part in the palace examination, who cares whether a Huiyuan can take part in the palace examination?

As an important backbone of the Wang party, sun Shangshu frequently winked at Wang Shoufu.

Big brother, what's the matter with you? We are fighting in front, you don't say a word in the rear?

Wang Shoufu noticed sun Shangshu's eyes and frowned slightly. From his standpoint, he didn't care who won or lost the case. For one thing, Wei Yuan did not come to an end, and for another, Xu new year could not represent the whole Yunlu Academy.

If you really want to look bad, you can look back and find a reason to send it to a corner.

However, sun Shangshu, as the backbone of Wang's party, was on the offensive. If he stood idly by at this time, his heart would be cold. This is the drawback of the party.

A lot of times, I can't help myself.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to settle this case quickly." Wang Shoufu stepped out to bow and said slowly:

"if Zhao Tingfang, the Bachelor of Dongge University, has any problem, just try Xu Xinnian. Your majesty can summon him to enter the temple, and you can make an examination in person, so that he can write poems in front of the public.

"It's easy to know if that song is written by someone else. As for the theory of Jing Yi CE, the imperial examination is just around the corner. After reading the article, your majesty will decide for himself whether Xu's new year has real talents.

"If it's really a straw bag, it means that the problem is true, the fraud is true, and severe punishment is not allowed."

After staring at Wang Shoufu for a moment, emperor yuan Jingdi said with a smile, "this is reasonable. I will follow what Aiqing said."

Sun Shangshu and others looked happy. Wang Shoufu's words seemed at first glance to be harmonious, but in fact, the bias was very obvious.

Your majesty will write the poems in person and let Xu Xinnian write them in the hall. The only thing that Dafeng can do is Shi Kui Xu Qi'an.

I can't pass this pass. What about the palace examination?

King Yu said immediately, "Your Majesty, this method is too rash. It's a good poem. In fact, it's waiting for idle people to pick it up?"

Zhang Xingying immediately agreed.

Yuan Xiong, the censor of Zuo Du, said with a smile: "time is also limited in the examination room. Since Xu Huiyuan can write a song, why can't he do it? The most important thing is that his majesty seems to appreciate it. That's the most important thing.

The princes of the court looked strange. Unexpectedly, the case ended in this way.

After the palace examination, when the imperial examination fraud case is over, someone will take the opportunity to criticize him for abusing his power and planting a frame up.

Six branch to the matter, as well as the rest of the top three, the heart is a burst of disappointment and dissatisfaction.

This dissatisfaction almost reached its peak when Emperor Jingdi promised to let Xu Xinnian enter the Academy.

What qualifications does a student of Yunlu academy have to enter Hanlin academy. There has never been such a thing in the two hundred years since the founding of Guozijian.

The officials inside the hall, as well as the officials outside the hall, disperse with mixed feelings. As they pass through the square, they see a silver Gong standing with a knife.

Facing the Meridian Gate, facing the ministers.

Huaiqing and Lin'an two princesses stood in the distance, not side by side with Xu Qi'an.

On the one hand, there are hundreds of Beijing officials in real power.

On the one hand, he was a lonely and vulgar warrior, a watchman and a silver Gong.

One person blocked the most powerful group of Dafeng.

The officials noticed the little silver Gong, who was blocking the way, and recognized him. No one in the capital officials didn't know him.

What does he want to do?

Is this vulgar martial artist proud and proud?

Six ministers, Shi Lang, Liu Ke gei Shi Zhong, Zongshi, Xun gui... A pair of eyes fell on Xu Qi'an and examined him.

How dare you stand in our way?

One person and one knife stand at the Meridian Gate to block the ministers.

Xu Qi'an, facing the officials, swept all the people slowly. Suddenly, he gave a sneer, and his spirit sank into the elixir field. He said slowly:

"Er Cao's body and name are all gone, but the river flows forever... Bah!"

Spit a spit hard, holding a knife, walk away slowly.

Group ridicule!

Inside and outside the Meridian Gate, there was a sudden silence.
