Work overtime

Chapter 272
Chen Ning dared to assert that even in the court, few courtiers would dare to suggest such a suggestion to the emperor.

After all, treason is the highest crime of all.

Everyone wants to be wise and safe, and they don't want to be contaminated.

Offending today's holy majesty is hard to save, but if you find clues to offend the treasoners who are dormant in the dark, your life is also hard to save.

Chen Ning pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Fugui is right. If the case is handled openly, even if there is an internal response in Dali Temple, it is not easy to do anything. However, this case involves treason, which is of great importance, and it is necessary to prevent people from taking the opportunity to spread rumors and make troubles." , Pulling out secrets that cannot be made public.”

Li Beichen and Jiang Yuebai exchanged looks tacitly, this Chen Ning is indeed fine.

For example, Jiang Yuebai and Li Beichen were both present that night, and they were direct participants. Even though many officials would know about it, it is not appropriate to directly disclose it to the public now.

Li Beichen stared at Chen Ning, squinted his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Then Chen Qing has a solution?"

Chen Ning fell into deep thought. After a while, he shook his head, "Maybe a secret investigation is still needed."

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai, who seemed to be lost in thought, with his eyes downcast: "Master Fugui, what do you think?"

Jiang Yuebai raised her head and looked at Li Beichen with a smile:
"Master Chen is very considerate. Guiguzi said, if you want to hide it, you value Zhou; Officially and fully disclosed, is it possible to make a compromise, which is in line with the Tao.

For example, a trustworthy person was selected from each of the three departments to form a special case team and follow the principle of strict confidentiality.It's called Zhou.Only they can review all the people involved in the night, etc., and report their work directly to the emperor.Others are not allowed to interrogate the relevant personnel and the circumstances of the case.This is called secret. "

Chen Ning's eyes lit up, and so did Li Beichen's.

Chen Ning couldn't help casting admiring glances at Fugui: "This is a way. Although it can't prevent the leak of the inside story of the arson and robbery case that day, at least he dare not spread and discuss it blatantly. It can not only follow the vine, but also fish in troubled waters. You can guess from what you see. If you don’t understand it, it’s easier for people to show their feet.”

Li Beichen also thought the idea was good. He glanced at Chen Ning and made a decision after deliberation, "Okay, Chen Ning. You step down first. What I ordered you, act according to the original plan."

Chen Ning came back to his senses and realized his gaffe, exchanged a few words in a hurry, saluted and left in a hurry.

Li Beichen was not annoyed with Chen Ning, he understood Chen Ning's temperament, he was straightforward and a little ignorant of the world.

Seeing Jiang Yuebai's natural expression, he took Jiang Yuebai's hand and sighed: "Yue'er, it's a pity that you didn't turn yourself into a man, and buried your courage and talent; I'm happy that it's a good thing you didn't turn into a man , otherwise how could she be such a confidante."

In Jiang Yuebai's mind, these words didn't make much sense.

Just like modern times, bigwigs do everything possible to turn neck-to-neck business partners into lovers, but rarely bring lovers into the company to become neck-to-neck business partners.

However, the boss still needs to respond appropriately to such affectionate compliments.

Jiang Yuebai raised her head, took a step closer, stared into Li Beichen's eyes, the eyes were shining brightly, the black eyes were clear and clear.

The close distance gave Li Beichen a sudden and warm touch.

Jiang Yuebai chuckled, "The emperor appreciates the concubines so much, it's not good for the concubines to disappoint the emperor. How about next year's imperial examinations, the concubines disguise themselves as men, and try to see if they can really do what the emperor said. He has a whole body of talent, and he has been named on the gold list."

Li Beichen froze for a moment, and nodded Jiang Yuebai's nose: "Naughty! In this way, taking the imperial examination as a daughter is considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"Then His Majesty will allow women to take part in the imperial examination, wouldn't it be fine? There are things that men can do in the world, and women can too. Of course, there are things women can do, but men can't." Jiang Yuebai blinked deliberately. , looked at Li Beichen with a smile.

Li Beichen looked at the woman in front of him and remained silent for a while. He gently put Jiang Yuebai's loose hair behind his ears, but Jiang Yuebai grabbed it with one hand and interlocked his fingers.

When the courtiers are around, she is upright and generous; when the courtiers are away, she is cunning and bold.

Against the light, her face has such a soft and delicate beauty like petals, but there is a free and wanton temperament flowing all over her body.

Perhaps from the day of the palace examination, when Jiang Yuebai boldly walked towards him and completed a poem in seven steps, he had never regarded her as an ordinary woman.

Li Beichen looked at the finger caught by Jiang Yuebai, and his heart softened, "It depends on whether you can win this game of chess. If you win, I will allow you to take the scientific examination in three years."

After speaking, he pulled out his hand and removed the last two pieces that just landed on the chessboard.

Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed, "Your Majesty's words are serious?"

Then there is something else to do.If you pass the exam, can you find an official to do it?

What's the point of staying in this harem all day.

[System: My lord, your goal is to become a queen, not an imperial official.Please don't deviate from the main mission. 】

Jiang Yuebai: Maybe we can use this to persuade the emperor to let women all over the world have the opportunity to take the imperial examination.Women's education level and social status have been improved, which is beneficial to the whole society.Maybe the emperor thinks that I have both ability and political integrity, wisdom and courage, and he loves me very much.

[System: Master, don't blame me for not reminding you.It is taboo for feudal dynasties to interfere in politics in the harem.You act recklessly at your own peril. 】

After listening to the system's advice, Jiang Yuebai hesitated a little, and the system was right.After all, Baitao was beaten half to death the last time he made an aggressive move.

But what to do with the words that are said and the water that is poured out.

"You don't think you can beat me, do you?"

Li Beichen asked casually, with a bit of playfulness in his deep eyes.

Hearing Xu Fuhai holding back his smile, it turned out that "Master" would chat with people like this.

Jiang Yuebai was a little embarrassed now.

To play chess with the leader, you generally have to use all your strengths. After a hard fight, you will lose "disastrously" in the end, and you must not lose too carelessly.

It's just that the emperor gambled on the chance to take the imperial examination three years later, and Jiang Yuebai was eager to win again.

Jiang Yuebai stared at the chessboard, and asked very solemnly: "Is the outcome determined in one game, or in three games?"

Li Beichen didn't expect that the woman in front of him really wanted to win him, so he looked at it with interest: "Just one round. Chen Xiang will come to discuss state affairs later."

"Okay. That's a deal."

Jiang Yuebai's gaze shifted from the chessboard to Li Beichen's face, "Your Majesty, black and white have their own strengths and weaknesses. How about we rock-paper-scissors to decide the outcome. The winner takes the black stone, and the loser takes the black piece." Bai Zi. How?"

rock-paper-scissors?
Xu Fuhai raised the corners of his mouth again, buried his head very low, and suppressed his smile.

The emperor has never played with the things that children in the streets and alleys play with.I don't know if I will play today.

Li Beichen was also stunned after hearing Jiang Yuebai's words, silently clenching his fists lightly and placing them by his side, ready to play rock-paper-scissors for the first time in his life.
