I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 434

5 taels is not too much, and it is not too little, but for the third son of Min who has a great relationship with the prince in the palace and the aristocratic family in Beijing, it is not difficult to take out 5 taels of silver bills.

"Miss, be careful!" In the dark, a warning sounded, but a sharp arrow shot out through the air.

He Nuan immediately grabbed Zhan Feiyu's waist, tiptoed and flew from the corridor to the courtyard in an instant.

There was a muffled sound when the arrow pierced into the wooden post, and a folded piece of cloth was also nailed to the wooden post.

"There's no need to investigate, it should just be a messenger." Zhan Feiyu stopped the guards who were about to chase him out, and walked towards the corridor. When he raised his hand, he was instantly embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhan Feiyu's hand was still a long way from the arrow, He Nuan hurried over with a suppressed smile, "Miss, I'll come."

Zhan Feiyu tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, but the expression was so stiff no matter how you looked at it, it was really aggrieved to be short.

He Nuan took off the cloth from the arrow, checked it carefully, and handed it to Zhan Feiyu after making sure there was nothing wrong.

There were only three lines of writing on the square cloth, and Zhan Feiyu quickly scanned it, "Let me go there in person, and pay the money with one hand and the list with the other hand."

"Are they worried about being cheated?" He Nuan frowned, Commander Xie dared to kill the young lady in public before, if this was a trap, the young lady was too unsafe in the past.

After thinking for a while, Zhan Feiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "5 taels of silver is nothing, they are trying to drag me into the water, and if anything happens in the future, I will not escape the responsibility."

If it was traded by other people, even if there is something in the future, Zhan Feiyu can push it away, and even push the person who traded that day as a scapegoat.

Knowing the sinister intentions of these people, He Nuan's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

"It's okay, just cross a clear road." Zhan Feiyu smiled indifferently, shaking the cloth in his hand, "The time is set in three days, and I will send the letter to the teacher as soon as possible.

The Forbidden Dragon Guard has a special channel for sending messages, so Zhan Feiyu's letter has not been sent to the capital, and Yin Wuyan's secret letter has been delivered to the imperial court a day and a half in advance.

……

The capital, the imperial study.

Longyou Dao is related to the stability of the Daqing Dynasty, the border is unstable, and the court is unstable, so the officials of Longyou Dao, big and small, are extremely important.

"Your Majesty, this is the list drafted by the minister, please have a look at it." Bai Shangshu's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and the officials of the official department worked nonstop for three days before drawing up the list.

Eunuch Liu took the list and presented it to His Majesty.

This thick list is so detailed that the rankings of the imperial examinations were recorded in those years. It can be seen that the officials really did their best. The Holy Majesty couldn't help saying: "Eunuch Liu, give my medicinal tea to Bai Shangshu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Shangshu quickly thanked him.

This herbal tea was specially developed by the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital for the Holy Majesty, using a lot of rare medicinal materials. There were also several senior clan members in the royal family who licked their old faces and asked the Holy Majesty for the prescription of this herbal tea. When it comes to longevity, no one wants to die.

It's a pity that I got the prescription but it was useless. The herbal tea shared 56 herbs, at least ten herbs were hard to find in the world, and the amount in the palace was enough for the Holy Majesty. , In the end, the matter of medicinal tea was left alone.

The Holy Majesty quickly flipped through the list of Bai Shangshu, and he focused on the first few pages of the list of officials who can serve as prefects and co-prefects in various states. This is related to the long-term stability of the entire Longyou Dao.

These officials not only have to be capable officials and can take over the administration of a state capital in the shortest time, but also must be loyal ministers who are completely loyal to the Holy One, not partisans cultivated by a prince or a certain family.

The Holy Majesty asked a few words from time to time, and Bai Shangshu got up to answer. The list was drafted by the Ministry of Officials, and Bai Shangshu knew the characters and abilities of these people best.

After more than half an hour, the tired-faced Bai Shangshu exited the Imperial Study Room, and the Holy Majesty looked through the list again, "Scholar Xuan Gu came to the Imperial Study Room."

"Yes." Eunuch Liu led the decree to leave the imperial study, first told the little eunuch to go to the Hanlin Academy to announce the decree, and after looking at the sun, he hurriedly arranged lunch for the Holy Majesty and Bachelor Gu.

In the imperial study room, a figure was kneeling on the ground at this moment, "My Majesty, this is a secret letter from Minhe Mansion a quarter of an hour ago."

There are two secret letters in total, one is sent by the Dark Dragon Guard, and the other is sent by Yin Wuyan. In contrast, the secret letter of the Dark Dragon Guard is a thick stack, which seems to have at least seven or eight pages. , Yin Wuyan's side is much shorter.

The Holy Majesty waved his hand to make people retreat, and after thinking for a while, he opened the secret letter sent by Yin Wuyan. Just like his indifferent personality, this secret letter is also in the same style. The shortest and objective words narrate what happened in Minhe Mansion .

This included the Minhe mansion being set on fire, Commander Xie ordered to attack Zhan Feiyu, and finally the elite of the Commander died tragically under Yin Wuyan's sword.

Seeing the change in the expression of the Holy One, he couldn't help but sit up straight and take a closer look, and couldn't help laughing, "That girl is really greedy for money."

The letter from the Dark Dragon Guard also said the same thing, but in more detail, except for Master Yao and Master Zheng, the actions of those people were all recorded.

Even Yuan Zhifu and Yao Zhenyi, who were not worth mentioning in front of the Holy Master, were recorded. Zhan Feiyu's visit to Yuan's residence was also recorded verbatim.

This made the Holy Majesty even if he was far away in the capital, everything that happened in Minhe Mansion could not escape the eyes of the Holy Majesty.

When Gu Qingzhou heard the news of Zhan Feiyu selling the roster from Shengshang, the dignified Xueshi Gu was also startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "In terms of money-making skills, Xiaoyu is absolutely unprecedented. "

"Aiqing, do you estimate how many people will spend 5 taels to buy this roster?" The Holy Majesty took the herbal tea handed over by Eunuch Liu and drank it slowly. The joking words showed that the Holy Majesty was in a happy mood at the moment.

"The ones who can be fooled by this girl are the little fish and shrimp." Gu Xueshi silently shed a tear of sympathy for the princes in the palace. Those who are not fooled are naturally well-informed, knowing that the emperor will replace the grand master of Longyou Dao For officials big and small, it is useless to buy this list.

The Holy Majesty smiled and nodded, "I have sent a letter to Wu Yan, asking him to act as commander temporarily, and check the officials on the list first."

The so-called investigation ranges from being dismissed from office to being dismissed from office, and if it is serious, the whole family will be executed. In addition, the Dragon Guards have always acted cruelly and ruthlessly. Gu Xueshi can imagine what kind of bloody storm will be caused by the Longyou Dao when the imperial decree arrives. When Jupifu was angry, blood spattered five steps; when the emperor was angry, millions of corpses lay down.

As for those innocent officials who were implicated in the investigation and finally dismissed from office, the Holy Majesty would not be disappointed. This time, the Ministry of Officials dispatched many officials from various places to Longyou Dao, just to reinstall these officials there.

In such an exchange, even if there are fish that slip through the net under the investigation of the Forbidden Dragon Guards, if they are just corrupt officials, that’s all. No waves come out.

"The old minister suddenly feels that it's good that the girl Xiaoyu is not in the capital, otherwise I don't know what disaster has happened, and the old minister wants to live a few more years." Gu Xueshi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Zhan Feiyu who was far away in Minhe Mansion. , suddenly understood the attitude of the Holy Majesty towards the princes.

My own children are too outstanding and capable, and as elders, I can't help worrying that they will be in danger; but if they are too dandy, they hate iron and steel.

Zhan Feiyu didn't know the mentality of Gu Xueshi's old father at all, and he would happily follow Yin Wuyan to shop together.

Once the Forbidden Dragon Guards start to act, the whole Longyou Dao will be full of fear and panic. By then, these shops will be closed for a period of time, and Zhan Feiyu can only study hard in the cold window of Muxiangju.

"Big brother, let's go to the jade shop." Zhan Feiyu's eyes lit up, from his previous life to this life, he was a layman, Zhan Feiyu preferred real money to those clothes, rouge and gouache.

Of course, as a noble scholar, how can he love yellow and white things? Naturally, jade and gemstones are more in line with the identity of a scholar.

"Miss, please." The waiter knew that the big customer was coming when he saw Zhan Feiyu's fair and tender face.

Longyou Dao is always windy and sandy, and the skin of ordinary girls is not only dark but also rough. This white jade-like skin must be raised by a big family.
