Raid

Chapter 75
Liu Jin nodded, thinking of something, she continued: "Sanniang, the eunuchs are secretly selling exam questions."

"People from eunuchs?" Li Shengxi raised his eyebrows, but after thinking about it, it became clear that the examination questions were drawn up by Emperor Yuan Jia himself, so the eunuchs still don't know if others don't know.It's just that the eunuch isn't short of money to sell the exam questions himself, right?

"It's not the eunuch's people either." Liu Jin explained, she thought for a while, "It was the eunuch's people who disclosed the test questions to the servants of the deputy examiner's family, and those people sold the test questions."

"When did it start?" Li Sheng raised his eyes.

"It was about when the assistant examiners first got the exam questions." However, the exam questions were not allowed to be opened before the start, and the assistant examiners probably didn't know the content of the exam questions.

Having said that, Li Shengxi almost knew what the eunuch was going to do.

The topic of this meeting was drafted by Emperor Yuan Jia himself, and Meng Songyan sealed the exam questions.The chief examiner was Meng Songyan, and the rest of the deputy examiners were all honest and upright people selected after discussions between Meng Taifu and the King of Wu and other veterans.

In this scientific examination, Meng Taifu advocated that lack should be preferred, and the same is true in the selection of examiners. The examiners in this examination are far inferior to those in the past, but none of them are in pursuit of fame and fortune.Even though he knows that no one can interfere, how can he be reconciled to seeing himself being forced to stay away from the political center by several veteran officials.If he didn't make a move, it would be contrary to his usual style.

That's why he set up such a game. When the incident happens, not only the examiners will have accidents, but even Meng Songyan, the grand tutor, will have no good fruit.It is even possible that the final result is like Zhou Fa, who was dragged down and retired early.

After all, this imperial examination is mainly in charge of by Meng Taifu.In order to be close to his cousin, Emperor Yuan Jia even gave the examination questions to Meng Taifu for a review.Naturally, Taifu Meng would not sell exam questions, but if the exam questions were leaked, it would be because Taifu Meng was not doing his job well.How does this betray the trust of the emperor?
Without Zhou Fa, without Meng Songyan, there would be no one in the court who could restrain Guan Zhi.

Even if it is found out from the servant who sold the test questions that someone else disclosed the test questions, so what, with the means of knowing, can it still fall into the trap.Those assistant examiners are more or less charged with incompetence.

Li Shengxi is in a good mood. The current situation in Northern Qi does not even require her to take the initiative to set up a situation. It only needs to be pushed, and it will naturally fall apart.

It's just that I don't know if Rong Zhi knows about this matter, if he knows, this matter will be difficult to handle.

However, before Li Shengxi had time to make arrangements, she received the news of Rong Zhi's invitation. She had to hand over the matter in her hands to Nian Xi and Wu Yang, and went to the appointment herself.

"In the past, I tried my best to stay overnight, why did I invite my wife to go out today?" Liu Jin sat in the carriage with Li Shengxi, shook his head with a smile, "Since I came to Northern Qi, it has been a long time since a lord invited my wife to go out. "

Li Shengxi is a princess who has received the grace of the saints. He is also uniquely elegant, and his excellence is eye-catching.In Linxi city, admirers are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Since the cardamom years, there have been countless children from prominent families who have been invited.However, Li Shengxi usually does not go to appointments easily.She has only traveled alone with two people, one is her ex-husband Mu Xu, and the other is Qu Zhili.

The former is due to the situation, while the latter is at least emotional.

Li Shengxi raised her eyebrows, she took a look at Liu Jin, and then tapped Liu Jin on the head, "Did you read the storybook of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies recently?"

Liu Jin hid for a while, didn't reply, just chuckled.

"The excuse he invited me was to thank me for taking him in that day, but the place where he made the appointment was near the Wanjiang River. I'm afraid he would have to trick me into getting on the boat." There's nothing wrong with her getting on the boat, but "Liang Yin" can't get on the boat. After all, although Liang Yin is the daughter of a ship merchant, she can't sit on a ship.

"I don't know what idea he will use."

"No matter what idea he will use, but this is definitely not the only step in his move. You should call people's attention later, and if something unexpected happens, find a way to lure the Jin Wuwei over."

"My lady is worried that he will lure you to attack?" Liu Jin frowned, and suddenly remembered the stone that Rong Zhi threw at her that day.

Li Shengxi nodded, opened another corner of the curtain, and looked at the scenery outside the window, "Maybe." He couldn't go to such lengths to ask her out on a trip, just to see if she was seasick.

After all, when it comes to things like dating between men and women, it's easy for people to get the wrong idea if it's just a coincidence.Rong Zhi is not afraid of being misunderstood by others.

The carriage soon arrived along the Wanjiang River.

It was June, and the scenery along the Wanjiang River was beautiful and intoxicating.However, the flowers all over the mountains and plains are not as good as the lonely gentleman in Tsing Yi among the flowers.

Li Shengxi was dazed for a moment.Rong Zhi has always been famous for his talent and deeds, but people forget that he also has an excellent skin.

He is wearing a green bamboo robe with a lapel collar, the green silk is protruded by a jade hairpin and a silver crown, and there is a belt around his waist. There is not a trace of extra decoration on his body, and he is independent and detached.

Accumulated stones are like jade, and pine trees are like emerald green. There is no other in the world, and Lang Yan is unique.

If it is said that among the women Li Shengxi has met, no one can match Qin Qinghong in terms of looks.Then among the men she has seen, when it comes to looks, no one can match Rong Zhi.

Even Mu Xu who taught people to throw fruit carts, Mu Jing who was dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and Qu Zhili who was as gentle as jade, were not as charming as the people in front of them.

Rong Zhi walked towards Li Sheng, he was still a gentleman, gentle as jade, he said with apologetic face: "Originally, there was a banquet on the boat, but suddenly I remembered that the lady couldn't take the boat, so I asked someone to move the banquet to the mountain. I'm afraid it will take some time, so I hope the lady will not blame you."

After he said this, Li Shengxi saw a huge painting boat near the beginning of the day. If she remembered correctly, Rong Zhi didn't seem to have much money. To test her, he spent a lot of money.

"It's June, and the best time is the best time. It's human nature for your husband to hold a banquet on the boat. It's a pity that the concubine's nature is spoiled. But the scenery in the mountains is also excellent, and it may not be as good as the flavor on the boat." Li Shengxi didn't agree care.

Rong Zhi nodded, the two talked together, and walked towards the mountain together, "I wanted to hold a banquet in the mansion to reward my wife. It's just that Rong is in a difficult situation, and there are two houses under his name, one of which has been burned for a long time and has not yet been rebuilt. Completed, the other place...is located in Pingkangfang, and the house is cramped, not spacious enough. So I asked my wife to go to the mountain."

"Could it be?" Li Shengxi shook her head, and she asked curiously, "Does the gentleman still live in Pingkang Fang now?"

"Occasionally stay here, but most of the time when I'm busy, I just rest in the official office."

"It's really hard for Mr. Lang to run around for the country."

"My lady is too famous." It is really rare to hear someone say that he is running for the country.

Li Shengxi smiled, and continued to ask: "Since the lord is an official and knows about official affairs, the concubine has something, and I want to ask the lord. I wonder if the lord can tell me?"

"My lady, if you can answer me, you will definitely have a lot to say." Rong Zhi raised his eyebrows.

A trace of malice flashed across Li Shengxi's eyes, and she asked pretending to be worried: "July and August are when the Lijiang River floods. I don't know if the imperial court will strengthen the dam this year. Although I don't plan to sail in July and August, but As for the fact that the concubine is a ship merchant involved in water transportation, I can't help but ask a few more questions."

　Li Shengxi: Hmm... Rong Zhi who is talented can be a courtier, and Rong Zhi who is not talented can be a courtier in person.
