The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 700 Imperial Examination Questions (1)
Lu Haoran looked at the icy woman under the jade mask, with eerie and terrifying eyelids, but recovered from the panic, and said softly: "Your Highness, I don't think there is any need to investigate at this time."

There is no need to check. According to the practice of previous years, the exam questions will be printed on the exam papers in advance, and put in a certain place to be strictly guarded. In order to make things difficult for His Highness, those old officials colluded with the guards to steal the exam questions and deliberately caused a mess , that being the case, it is not easy to clean them up.

"You know about the leakage of the test questions, how many people know about it?" Hearing this, his eyes sparkled with wisdom. These old bastards will chop them up sooner or later.

"Returning to Your Highness, I was returning home today, and I overheard some examinees secretly discussing how to answer the questions, and even said that the questions for this imperial examination were bought at a high price. Knowing that the questions were leaked, I came directly to His Highness Discuss, and haven't alarmed anyone yet." Ma Ying-jeou didn't ignore the light in Qingqing's eyes.

Biting the back of her fingers, she was silent for a while, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared on her lips: "Prime Minister Lu, regarding the leakage of the exam questions, I and you will act as if we have never heard of it."

"Your Highness means..." Looking at the flinty expression, a terrible thought immediately popped out of his mind, and the corner of Lu Haoran's mouth twitched fiercely. His Highness is really not an ordinary black heart.

Boqing didn't make a sound, narrowed her eyes slightly, and cast a wink at Lu Haoran, a charming but chilling smile appeared on her lips.

In the most famous Guihuilaixi restaurant in Longcheng, there is an extremely remote and quiet courtyard. There are several guards inside and outside the courtyard, and no one is allowed to approach.

In the room in the courtyard, several old ministers gathered together to taste tea, including Liang Xueshi, Master Wu, and several ministers with high official positions and high power in the court.

snort!Master Wu snorted coldly and said: "I have already found out that the three young men who were in the hall that day were not counselors brought back by the princess from Dazhen at all, but candidates who were going to take the imperial examination this time. It's really unreasonable for the princess to blatantly win people's hearts for her before she even started!"

Liang Xueshi narrowed his shrewd little eyes, and said with a sneer: "It is expected, why should Mr. Wu be angry, but it is useless to win people's hearts, the key is to see their performance in the imperial examination, what do you say?" Isn't it?" He glanced at the person in the main seat.

The person sitting in the main seat is sitting because of the backlight, and only a sharp-edged outline can be seen on the face.

He said slowly: "Princess Jinghua is very strategic, but she is good at business and politics, she is not as good as me."

Liang Xueshi showed a trace of doubt on his face: "My lord, I don't understand, why don't we take this opportunity to make things big, and put the matter on the surname Lu, wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to get rid of him?"

The person on the main seat had a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "Lord Liang, don't you even understand this? There are still five days before the imperial examination. With the power behind Princess Jinghua, they can definitely Change the topic and rush out a new batch of examination papers. Second..." He glanced at the silent official sitting beside him.

The official raised his head slowly, smiled with the corners of his lips pulled, and continued: "Getting something from the candidates and getting rid of Lu Haoran are trivial matters. The key is that if these candidates become officials in the court in the future, They all have a clue in our hands, and they can only obey us. At that time, everyone in the court and in the local area will be our people, let's see how Princess Jinghua will fight us."

The person on the main seat said in a deep tone: "Scholar Liang, don't just focus on the gains and losses in front of you, but look further away."

Hearing this, Liang Xueshi showed a look of amazement on his face: "My lord has no big eyes, and the lower officials have been taught."

Master Wu immediately flattered and said: "My lord, you are really far-sighted, I admire you, admire you."

To make things big, maybe only one person surnamed Lu can be brought down. If the matter is concealed, those candidates who bought exams to become officials in the court can be controlled in the future, which is equivalent to controlling most of the court.

In the future, they will prevent Princess Jinghua from ascending the throne. This is a group of indispensable forces. Looking at the person on the throne, they can't help admiring them even more. Jiang is still old and hot, and Princess Jinghua is still too tender.

One of the old ministers seemed to be worried: "My lord, what should we do if things come to light."

The eyes of the person on the main seat dimmed suddenly, and he didn't answer aloud, but raised his hand and made a movement of wiping his neck, everyone present knew that it meant silence.

The day of the imperial examination was getting closer and closer, but the originally tense court was abnormally quiet, but there was an unusual atmosphere in the quiet, which surprised many people.

Boqing, the temporary regent, sat leisurely in the imperial garden, admiring the red maple leaves in the palace, and sipping maple leaf tea.

It wasn't until the two tall and straight figures were brought into her line of sight that she slowly put down the teacup and sat upright calmly. The jade mask made it difficult to see her expression at this time.

"The subordinate kowtows to the young master."

Mo Fei and Mo Xinghan father and son both knelt on the ground with respectful faces.

Looking at the respectful father and son, the corners of the flinty lips curled up sarcastically. She was no longer their master, and everything was over long ago. She said flatly: "I have already said that there is no relationship between the Mo family and the Bo family." It doesn't matter, the two of you should call me Your Highness."

"Young master, please listen to your subordinate's explanation, Han'er is only momentarily confused..."

Could it be that he already knew the ins and outs of the matter from his son, and immediately wanted to explain when he heard the flirtatious words.

Bo Qing waved his hand, interrupted him, and said calmly: "You don't need to explain, I am very clear about the reason for the incident."

The jade hand slowly slid the lid of the cup, and said lightly: "I sent you father and son here today, not because of this, but just to remind you to stay away from my mother."

The tone was a bit cold, no matter how close they were in the past, that was also the past, mother is now the mother of a country, out of selfishness, she doesn't want more troubles at this time.

Hearing her words, Mo Zhi and Mo Xinghan shuddered at the same time, showing a hint of surprise, and looked at her in disbelief. Could it be that they moved their lips and wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything.

But Mo Xinghan knelt down on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Young master...Your Highness, one person does the work and the other bears the responsibility. I was the one who betrayed the young master back then. It has nothing to do with my father or the Mo family. Please allow my father to continue Stay with the patriarch, protect the safety of the patriarch, and fulfill the obligations of our Mo family for generations."

What happened back then, whether it was a betrayal or a misunderstanding, something like trust would be broken if it was broken. He understood, so he didn't force it, but he shouldn't involve his father. That was the only reason for him to live.
