Minister Ben Hongzhuang: Lord Xiangguo, I am happy!

Chapter 11
Golden Temple Early Dynasty

It stands to reason that the emperor's wedding can be exempted from the early court for three days, but the young emperor of Longyan Kingdom was too diligent and exempted from this rule, so the officials at the court looked sad and tripped the emperor when they found the right opportunity. It's a trivial matter.

Half a stick of incense before the end of the morning dynasty
Master Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward, bowed, lowered his head and said, "I have something to say!"

"Quasi-playing!" Eunuch Fu said in a high-pitched voice, flicking his whisk.

"Early spring has arrived, and the triennial imperial examination is approaching. The palace examination of this dynasty is scheduled for April, and the emperor has just taken power. How should this year's imperial examination be conducted?"

"Who has hosted it over the years? Who has written the questions for the scientific examination."

"My Majesty, the previous two scientific examinations were hosted by Prime Minister Su, and the questions of the scientific examinations were also set by Prime Minister Su."

When Long Yan heard that Su Su was in charge of the imperial examination, he had a plan in mind.

In the current situation, Su Su is a school of his own, and has not kept close contact with the Shangguan family. Su Su can rest assured that the imperial examination will be handed over to Su Su.

After all, Su Su has a wide range of talented people, and he has a unique vision. The talents he chooses must be the pillars of the country.

And when he was short of good talents, it was time to install his own people.

"This matter will be handled by Su Aiqing." Long Yan looked down at the officials and said in a deep voice.

however……

"Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate for this matter to be entrusted to Prime Minister Su. Over the years, the Ministry of Rites has been in charge of the imperial examinations. It is unreasonable for Prime Minister Su to take over the imperial examinations. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Long Yan's face was slightly cold, and he knew that the old Shangguan would get in his way.He was unhappy in his heart, but he wanted to make a show of it: "Uncle Guo's words are very true, does Su Aiqing have any objections?"

"..."

"Does Su Aiqing have any objections?" Long Yan spoke again after not getting a reply from Su Su for a long time.

Standing in the ranks of generals, Shen Canghai took a step forward, bowed and said, "Report to the Emperor, Prime Minister Su did not go to court early."

As soon as these words came out, the court officials murmured in private, and the originally quiet court suddenly became noisy.

But the officials promoted by Su Su were silent, bowed their heads, and said nothing.

Long Yan frowned, not expecting Su Su not to go to court.

"Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know."

Shangguan Fu bowed again and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su has not come to court today, this behavior has the intention of despising the Holy Majesty, and must be severely punished."

"Reporting to the emperor, Su Xiang has not been to the court for a day, not for a few days. The charge of despising the Holy One is too rash. Before there is no conclusive evidence, all speculations and conclusions are slander."

"Shen Aiqing's words are reasonable. Since this is the case... I will send Shen Aiqing and Uncle Guo to Su Xiangfu to check it out."

"Your majesty, my humble minister..."

"I obey the order!" Shen Canghai interrupted directly when Shangguan Fu spoke.

"Retire!" After Shen Canghai finished speaking, Long Yan stood up immediately to speak.

At the end of the morning, Shen Canghai leisurely dusted off the dust on his body, turned around and walked out of the hall.

"General Shen!"

Seeing that Shen Canghai was about to leave, Shangguan Fu hastily called out to stop Shen Canghai.

Shen Canghai paused, ignored Shangguan Fu's shout, and still stepped out of the palace gate.

After all, Shangguan Fu was getting old, he chased for a few steps but failed to catch up with Shen Canghai, he managed to catch up with Shen Canghai, and had already chased out of Xuanwumen.

"Wait a minute, General Shen!" Shangguan Fu blocked Shen Canghai's way, and said with an old face.

"So it's Uncle Guo~ What's blocking this general's way!" Shen Canghai looked surprised, glanced at Shangguanfu lightly, and said with a smile.

Shangguan Fu's face sank again, it was obvious that Shen Canghai heard him calling him, as long as he was not deaf after chasing him all the way, he should be able to hear him.But Shen Canghai pretended not to hear it, even if he insisted that he heard it, Shen Canghai would not admit it.

"General Shen, have you forgotten what happened in the court hall? The emperor ordered the old man to go with you to Su Su's mansion to find out why Su Su didn't go to court. Put this matter behind you, and disobedience to the emperor's oral instructions is a crime of disrespect."
