Chapter 164 The Gift of Triumph
At the end of April, the three-year palace examination was officially released.

The eyes of the entire imperial capital turned back from the south and focused on a name.

The champion, Chi Zhongyu.

For a while, the entire Xingji City, from noble households to ordinary people, was spreading the story of this Wenqu star's hard study.

Everyone followed his example to motivate their children.

Many high-ranking families are inquiring about Zhuangyuan Lang's marriage situation, intending to recruit him as his son-in-law.

Xuanwu Street, Yongan Hutong, Ren Zhai.

Ji Xiang stood at the entrance of the main hall pretty and vigorously, looking out with his neck stretched.

There are few people in the family, and most of the time there is only one master, Yingpan.Inside and outside, the master and servant discuss and make decisions, and there are not many rules.

Yingpan smiled and walked out: "There are not many things at home now, if you want to see the number one scholar parading the streets, then go and watch."

Ji Xiang shook his head and looked back decisively.

"Forget it, there must be a lot of people outside now. I heard that the good seats facing the street were booked up by the National People's Congress a few days ago. If the slaves go, they probably won't be able to see them."

"It's better to wait until the young master is triumphant before going to spread flowers."

She asked: "Ma'am, when will you be able to return to Xingji City?"

Thinking that Ren Ning was about to go home, Yingpan couldn't help smiling.

She looked up at the sky, "It depends on the weather!"

"The Eldest Princess said that His Majesty is going to hold some kind of triumphant ceremony. If the weather is good, the husband will be able to return to Xingji City in the next two days. If the weather is bad, it will be later in the evening."

Emperor Changxing had definite evidence in his hands that the epidemics in various places were caused by Nanfeng's poisoning rather than his fault.The whole person seemed to be a few years younger, and his face was flushed all day long.

When he was happy, he completely ignored Qian Liang's objection, and when the triumphant team returned to Beijing, he planned to go to the Taimiao and Taishe to pay a funeral to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and hold a ceremony of presenting victories and prisoners.

"Qian Shangshu, I don't like it very much and know that the treasury is empty, but this ceremony of presenting victories and captives must be held, and it must be done to perfection."

"I just want the strong neighbors in all directions to open their eyes wide, and take a good look at the fate of the Yunchui Empire who violated me."

"Will be executed even if it is far away?" Qian Liang asked.

"That's too cheap for them." Emperor Changxing shook his head.

"People don't offend me, I don't offend others; if people offend me, they will arrest their emperors and ministers and come back to cut them into pieces, so that their descendants will have a long memory. After hearing the word Yun Chui, they will automatically retreat."

Qian Liang had no choice but to deduct the money with tears streaming down his face.

Emperor Changxing said domineering, but he also had a headache.

For example, send that prince or prince out of the city to meet Ren Ning and his party.

For the past month, various ministers and even the harem have been arguing endlessly for the position of the envoy.Now the triumphant team has traveled thousands of miles back to the outskirts of Xingji City, and they still haven't reached a conclusion.

"Changlu," Emperor Changxing was very annoyed, he just wanted to find a quiet place to rest for a while, "Where is the quietest place in the palace?"

The old eunuch pondered for a while, "The Qingyun Palace of Concubine Qing."

Noble Concubine Qing was born in the Duke's Mansion of Zhen Guo, her natal family was powerful, and she liked to dance swords and guns behind closed palace gates, no one in the harem would dare to mess with her.In addition, she only gave birth to a thirteenth princess, so the other concubines in the palace would not regard her as an opponent.

Therefore, the area around Qingyun Palace has always been as calm as water.

"Will His Majesty drive Qingyun Palace or..."

Emperor Changxing decisively picked up the ink brush and continued to critique the scriptures.

Last time when news came out that the thirteenth princess was going to marry Nan Feng, the gate of Qingyun Palace was opened, and the furious imperial concubine came out with a weapon, and then the other talkative harem suffered disaster.

Those palace gates that usually come and go were so frightened that they closed their doors to thank the guests.

In the end, it was Emperor Changxing who went to appease Concubine Qing in person, to ensure that the marriage affairs of the thirteen princes were only decided by her, so that the huge harem could be peaceful.

"Your Majesty, if ministers or ladies come to ask about the envoy..." Chang Lu said.

Emperor Changxing felt dizzy for a while, "Let's go! Drive to Qingyun Palace."

Qingyun Palace is not far away.From the imperial study room, it will not take long to arrive.

It's not very hot at the end of April.Concubine Qing Zhengxiang was sweating profusely practicing martial arts, and her exquisite sword made her perfect.

When she learned that Emperor Changxing's car was coming, she stopped and came to salute.

"What wind brought His Majesty to my Qingyun Palace?"

Emperor Changxing talked about it from left to right, and said something about Princess Yiguang's entry into the palace, and dealt with Concubine Qing.

At last he fell asleep.

After sleeping for a full two hours before waking up, I felt a hundred times more refreshed.

Looking at the hourglass, "No one came to see me during this time?"

Chang Lu stammered, "Return to Your Majesty, the queen and several empresses have sent people over, but they were all stopped by Concubine Qing."

Emperor Changxing was 1 satisfied, and even stayed in Qingyun Palace to have a meal with a pleasant face.

Concubine Qing disdainful.Isn't it just to choose an envoy?How could the majestic emperor escape to Qingyun Palace and hide here?

"If your Majesty is having a hard time making a decision, then it's better to draw lots." She said, "Or His Majesty will go out of the city to meet you in person."

Emperor Changxing stroked his beard thoughtfully.

He wanted to go out of the city to meet him.

It's a pity that the status of Ren Ning and Li Hebai is too low.If Wei Junqian or Yuan Xingwen led the team back, there would be no problem.

Then draw lots.Resign yourself to fate.

With trembling corners of his mouth, Chang Lu wrote down the names of princes and princes over 12 years old on paper, put them in jars and shook them vigorously.

Emperor Changxing reached in and randomly grabbed one.

When I opened it, I saw the word "Jian" written on it.

"Plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, proud and firm..." Emperor Changxing read the way his sons were named.

It was the Seventh Prince, Chen Xiujian.

"It's God's will, then let Lao Qi go later."

Chang Lu wiped his sweat and quickly wrote it down.

"Is Fan Shangshu's head healed?"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Fan Wen is an old antique, but he is proficient in various ancient etiquette methods.

It has been a long time since Yun Chui held the ceremony of presenting victories and captives, and he had to teach him so as not to get the head and make him laugh.

Chang Lu carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, Fan Shangshu is already in good health, and he is still going to court this morning!"

"Really?" Emperor Changxing was astonished.

In the past, as long as this model essay went to the court, it would be easy to talk about everything, and it was full of words, which made people dizzy and dizzy.And no matter who tried to persuade him, he would not stop until he finished speaking.

Emperor Changxing didn't seem to hear his long speech today.

"After hearing that Fan Shangshu recovered from his illness, this old servant went to the Duke of Zhen's mansion yesterday. I guess..."

He was probably beaten up again by Princess Yiguang.

"This imperial aunt..." Emperor Changxing couldn't help but laugh.

Ren Ning didn't know what happened in Xingji City, so he just rushed back at the normal speed of the team.

Xiao Gang hurried over, "General, you still remember Sun Ye. He is the guy whose front teeth were knocked off by you in Prince Qin's Mansion."

"After two days, we escort the prisoner back to the imperial capital majestically. I don't know how shocked he will be. Thinking about it makes me feel good."

When he was in Prince Qin's mansion, Sun Ye looked down on Ren Ning and Xiao Gang from beginning to end.

Xiao Gang kept holding back his breath, and this time he returned to the imperial capital, thinking of going back to humiliate him severely.

"You." Ren Ning shook his head with a smile: "What's the point of talking about it?"

"That's just a jumping clown, and we are not in the same way at all, so don't take it to heart."

"When you go back, you still have to remember to practice martial arts every day. If you really meet him at a party, teach him a lesson."

Xiao Gang complied naturally.

After another day, the imperial capital Xingji City finally appeared in front of him.
