Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 253 The Prince's Movement

Liao Haitu is the magistrate of Beiyuan Prefecture, and he is also the invigilator of the children's examination in Fucheng.

No way, this Beiyuan Prefecture does not belong to any county, so he can only take time out of his busy schedule to invigilate the exam.

The imperial examination is a major event, and the responsibility is also very heavy, so he naturally dare not take it lightly.

What he is holding in his hand at the moment are all the articles about the competition between Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi.

"This Meng Lingxi, I believe my lord has heard of it. I have fought many people recently, and it is rare to meet an opponent. I didn't expect to kick the iron plate this time."

Tang Fugui, an aide at the side, saw that the adults had finished reading the article, so he spoke up.

Liao Haitu should have been happy, after all, Beiyuan Mansion had a talented man, and he had a bright face.

Although the Su family has long taken root in the capital, Beiyuan Mansion is also their ancestral home, isn't it?
However, at this moment, he frowned and sighed slightly.

"My lord, are you worried about Meng Lingxi?" Seeing this, Tang Fugui opened his mouth.

Liao Haitu nodded, "I heard that Meng Lingxi is about to end up in the Tong Sheng Exam, and the higher-ups made a fuss about it. Lord Lin of the Handan Mansion must give face."

Tang Fugui waited for a while, but didn't hear the next sentence, but laughed lightly.

"My lord, don't worry, this son is from Handan Mansion, and the Tongsheng Examination has nothing to do with you."

Magistrate Liao shook his head, "What annoys me is Tong Shengqian?"

"Of course he will come to Beiyuan Mansion for the provincial examination, but it will be three years later. How can we expect the future? Even if we praise Su Yizhao? Maybe the two of them may not be able to meet each other after three years. up."

Beiyuan Mansion is the capital of Yibei Province, so the township examination is naturally held here.If both of them have passed the exam this time, then the township exam will naturally meet here.

However, there are also people who will study for a few more years, but three years is too hasty.

It's just that it was someone else, and these two probably couldn't wait so long.

Even if they could afford to wait, the families behind them couldn't afford to wait either.

The temperament of the first assistant, E Chongming, is not as gentle as that of the former first assistant, and his behavior is quite domineering.

Judging by how much he attaches importance to Meng Lingxi, coupled with Meng's recent high-profile behavior, he definitely doesn't want others to steal the limelight.

In this competition, Meng Lingxi lost, which might have offended Shoufu.

If Tong Shengshi was overshadowed by Su Yizhao again, maybe he would have to blame him!

Thinking of this, he opened the secret compartment on the desk and took out a letter from it.

The letter of recommendation given by the academy was written by the supervisor, with the academy's seal stamped on it.

But what followed was Shan Zhang's personal letter, which he didn't expect.

Who is Zhu Yue, the head of the mountain?That is the teacher of the emperor.He is highly respected, even the emperor respects him.

The letter described how outstanding Su Yizhao was in the academy. In the words, the one who praised Su Yizhao was unprecedented and never came after.

Needless to say, Prefect Liao already understood what he meant.

This is what he needs to take care of, plus that letter of recommendation, unless Su Yizhao doesn't live up to his expectations, his ranking will never be low.

He had also read Su Yizhao's article before, and it was indeed impeccable.

Seeing Su Yizhao's name, he couldn't help but think of the case of children being robbed and sold two years ago.

At that time, someone gave him a big gift, the power in the court changed, the royal family was ordered by the emperor, and the prince was ordered to meditate in the mansion for the past two years, and he has not received any errands for the past two years.

That is to say, in more than two years, the other princes have just shown their talents and have already emerged.

The frontier gate found out about embezzling soldiers' salaries and posing as soldiers on death row. Although the general Longhu who guarded Shuyuguan did not participate, he was negligent and dereliction of duty, so he should be punished.

Zhao Liangshun was demoted, lost his commander-in-chief, and was demoted to General Dingguo, which was a downgrade.

But now it is Sun Bin of the Second Prince's Party who is guarding Shuyu Pass.

During that period of time, the prince's left and right arms were cut off, and the prince's vitality was severely injured.

Even King Duanyang, who was also guarding Jiarong Pass, was implicated. Two years ago, the emperor sent two imperial envoys to investigate the embezzlement of military salaries at the border pass. Jiarong Pass was also thoroughly investigated.

However, nothing was found yet, and suddenly the eldest son of Jing'an was poisoned, and his life was hanging by a thread.

The emperor was furious and whispered to the court.King Duanyang was in a hurry and wanted to rush back to the capital overnight, but he was appeased by the emperor.

He also found the medicine valley genius doctor for Jingan Shizi, and moved him to Medicine Valley for treatment two years ago.

It has been more than two years now, and there is still no news, life or death!

As for the crown prince, he suffered an indiscriminate disaster.But no one expected that the emperor would be so furious.

He originally thought that the emperor would treat the prince leniently for the empress' sake, but he did not expect it to be so harsh.

At the end of last year, the crown prince came out of the mansion and took up the job again.

But in the past two years, the large-scale transfer of officials from the DPRK and China is no longer the initial layout, and the prince is currently at a disadvantage.

Of course, that big gift brought him a lot of benefits.

This year, his term of office is about to expire, and there is great hope to make further progress.

But he still didn't find out who was behind it. The most powerful person right now is the second prince. Could it be that the person who gave him the big gift was the second prince?
But why him?Could it be that that big gift is really related to the plundering and selling of children?
Seeing that the lord was in a daze, Tang Fugui couldn't help coughing lightly, and then said: "My lord, this matter is actually good for us, isn't it? Maybe we can take advantage of Su Yizhao."

"Oh? You might as well tell me, sir!"

Prefect Liao was overjoyed. This staff member was put under his command a year ago. He was very good at calculating, and he didn't know what to do.

"My lord, isn't the eldest son of the Grand Tutor, the Right Servant of the Ministry of Officials? Lord Zhu and the Left Servant, Mr. Jiang, have always been at odds, and Mr. Jiang is the prince's father-in-law!"

Tang Fugui saw that Liao Zhifu still had a half-knowledgeable look, so he said again: "Think about it! Now that the eldest daughter of the Lin'an Houfu is the third concubine, the Su family has to be classified as the third prince's party. Even if Mr. Su doesn't I am willing to surrender and want to be a pure minister, but will the emperor believe it?"

"You mean, Taifu Zhu is optimistic about Su Yizhao because he wants the Zhu family to be under the command of the third prince? But I feel that Taifu Zhu just appreciates Su Yizhao's talent and doesn't mean it!"

Prefect Liao thought, could this be overthinking?Before Taifu Zhu became an official, he cherished talents, and I heard that he intended to accept Su Yizhao as his disciple before!
"We don't care what Taifu Zhu is thinking, but the Su family is now tied to the same boat as the third prince. If outsiders know that Taifu Zhu values ​​Su Yizhao so much, what will outsiders think about it?"

Prefect Liao suddenly became clear-headed at this moment, he clapped his palms and sighed: "The Su family is nothing now, but how can the prince's lineage be as Zhu's wishes? Naturally, he does not want the Zhu family to join the third prince, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger? Therefore, Naturally, it will be obstructed."
