Chapter 86: Supporting the sudden change of situation

"Yes, young master Zhongyong of the Tang Dynasty?"

Lu Chengfeng took a breath of cold air, pretended to be calm, and smiled politely at Tang Zhongyong.

"Don't call me by my name!"

Tang Zhongyong tightened his eyebrows in disgust and wished he could spit on the wind.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other, and the way of the world tends to make enemies fall into narrow paths.

Tang Zhongyong was furious, and those clear young eyes were flashing with murderous hatred, which made people feel chills down their entire spines just by looking at him.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to take the thirty-sixth strategy and quickly clasped his fists and said:

"You two continue, I'll take my leave first!"

After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

In a short while, the two waiters from Jiuxianju went up to the window seats on the third floor with smiles on their faces and carried the drunk Mr. Bai Yu down on their backs.

Using people's money to eliminate disasters, the two guys got a reward from Lu Chengfeng. They quickly got a carriage from nowhere and took Bai Yu back to his residence on Nanshi Street in the south of the city according to Lu Chengfeng's instructions.

Lu Chengfeng himself was leisurely and leisurely walking back and forth in the busy streets and alleys of Jinghua City, slowly walking back home.

He was still curious in his heart, wondering what the contents of the other three questions that the man in black wanted to leak to Tang Zhongyong were?

It stands to reason that there is also a policy theory, a fu and a military principle.

It's a pity that I didn't keep my mouth shut and was accidentally discovered by them.

However, what surprised Lu Chengfeng was that the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was once very prosperous in the past, was now reduced to finding a charlatan in the marketplace to buy the test questions for the Chunwei Science Examination!

This was really unexpected and shocking!

In my memory, the last time I saw him at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was still a clean-skinned and elegant young man with a youthful and bookish attitude. He looked very elegant and upright, not at all like his idle brother Tang Bo.

It's a pity, it's a pity that he can't maintain his former noble character as a scholar now.

Lu Chengfeng was filled with emotion and couldn't help but kick the pebbles under his feet.

When it comes to the upright character of a scholar, Lu Chengfeng thinks that his eldest brother Wu Jingmo is the most reliable!

His awe-inspiring righteousness can be seen from the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon can express it!

I wonder how the Jingmo eldest brother Wen Shu is preparing now?

Three days later, the Spring Scientific Examination will begin.

As the appointed examiner of the Chunwei Science Examination, I accidentally bumped into someone openly buying and selling test questions in Jinghua City before the scientific examination officially started!

Although Lu Chengfeng still does not know the identity and name of the person who sells the examination questions, nor does he know the origin and authenticity of the examination questions in his hands, but the act of privately buying and selling imperial examination questions has violated the Dajing criminal law. Moreover, selling examination questions is still a serious crime.

one.

Should I report this matter to the superior examiner Xu Mengzhang in advance? Or should I report this matter to my father first after returning to Xifu and ask him to help make a decision?

Or, just press the button and wait until the exam papers are opened on February 2nd before verifying?

Lu Chengfeng was in a state of confusion and couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to kick the pebbles under his feet.

The bluestone pavement in Jinghua City has long been polished by the passers-by.

Lu Chengfeng squatted on the ground and looked at the pebble, letting its small body, which was not round enough, keep rolling. It could not roll very far but kept spinning, like an inflexible top.

Otherwise, let God help me make the decision, right?

At this moment, it is a pity that there is no coin to toss, and all the troubles are attributed to feudal superstition.

Lu Chengfeng stared at the small pebbles that were constantly spinning in front of him. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he had an idea:

Why not just like this, if the final location of this small stone is on your left, then go to the Xu Mansion and report it to the chief examiner of the Shangfeng, Bachelor Xu Mengzhang;

If the settled position is on your right, then pretend that you saw or heard nothing today, wait until February 2nd to read the test questions, and then make another decision.

Lu Chengfeng focused his attention on the small pebbles that were spinning slower and slower in front of him and was about to stop, and muttered silently:

"One, two, three, four, five..."

Before he could say a few words in his mouth, the stone suddenly stopped and stopped in front of him on the right.

Okay! Then let’s pretend to be deaf, dumb and dumb!

Let’s be a happy pig for a few days, but the miserable life of a human being will still last long!

Fortunately, the biggest intention of inviting Bai Yu out to meet and drink today has been realized!

Lu Chengfeng took out the "confession" signed by Bai Yu in his arms and shook it proudly in his hand.

Hearing the sound of the piece of paper shaking in the wind, he felt that it was the sound of victory, as if the dawn of hope had suddenly ushered in!

What are you waiting for? Let’s settle Master Youfu’s matter first! Who else is more important at this moment than the father of the goddess in your heart?

If there is, it can only be the goddess herself.

However, although the North End Prince's testimony has been obtained, how to turn this confession into evidence in court?

It seems unrealistic to go directly to Dali Temple to play.

Zhang Ziqian, the minister of Dali Temple, and Lu Chengfeng had never had any friendship with him.

I heard that he was a fence-sitter who always had a smile on his face when he met others, but fell on both sides when the wind struck him.

As the head of a department in charge of important functions such as prisons, punishments, and supervision, his personal impression on all officials in the DPRK seems to have nothing to do with the words "strict officials and cruel officials."

People say that those heavy punishments and severe canons were left behind by Gao Shu, the former deputy of Dali Temple and now the Minister of Punishment.

When the two worked together at Dali Temple, Gao Shu, the deputy, was strong in behavior and spicy in style. He was so popular that he actually overshadowed Zhang Ziqian, the leader of Dali Temple.

During the time when the two worked together, they were at odds with each other. Under the calm waters of Dali Temple, undercurrents surged wildly, and their subordinates took sides one after another, fighting overtly and secretly, and the war continued.

It is said that that period was the most leisurely and peaceful time for all the Chinese, civil and military officials in the Dajing Dynasty.

The supervisory department, Dali Temple, is engaged in internal strife. It fights to the death within itself and has no time to supervise the words and deeds of officials.

The people at the Yushitai can only write reports and make small reports, but without the operations department, all the papers will be just a waste of time and effort.

It's a pity that good times are always extremely short-lived. Within a year, Gao Shu was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment by Emperor Jing. Not only was he not criticized for the laziness and delay in internal struggles in Dali Temple, but he was promoted to head of a department.

However, Gao Shu left the Dali Temple, but the business of the Ministry of Punishment was closely linked to the Dali Temple, and it was difficult to break away from the various restrictions of the Dali Temple.

The so-called emperor's technique of checks and balances is nothing more than that.

With this in mind, Lu Chengfeng realized that Grandpa Huang had good intentions.

Grandpa Huang is still thinking about keeping the crown prince!

Now everyone in the court knows that the large dragon and phoenix presented as a tribute by the You family was a gift brought all the way from Qingzhou by the Crown Prince.

Bo Jun smiled, but accidentally messed up and put You Jia in a difficult situation of being jailed.

Since the prince's seclusion, Prince Xuan's party has become more full-fledged. After the dragon and phoenix lanterns were burned during the Lantern Festival, their morale has soared, and everyone is sharpening their knives.

However, those who wanted to come forward to cause trouble, including the officials who were often used by King Xuan of the Yushitai, were all silenced by King Xuan himself.

He stood still and watched from the sidelines, wondering if the Fourth Emperor was holding back some big moves and was just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

Even Lu Chengfeng, a wild royal family who doesn't care about government affairs and stays away from the officials, has some idea of ​​the recent general trend.

Those people who were making trouble out of nothing were shouting everywhere that King Xuan was about to ascend the throne and become the new crown prince.

I don’t know if King Xuan and his party are building momentum for their master.

At this juncture, the emperor personally ordered that Mr. Youfu be imprisoned in Dali Temple pending trial without going through the Ministry of Punishment. This was an obvious attempt to bypass Gao Shu's Ministry of Punishment.

Could it be that Lord Gao Shu, the famous harsh official and cruel official, the Minister of Punishment, was also a member of King Xuan?

And the emperor's move, borrowing the pen of He Xuzhi, the Minister of Rites, mentioned that it was all about the rites and music of the Shangyuan Festival, thus bringing up the case of the dragon and phoenix presenting the auspicious lantern, and the case was taken out of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Punishment.

come out.

The auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix is ​​a sign of auspiciousness descended from heaven, which is related to the prosperity and decline of the country. It is also related to the responsibility of the Ministry of Etiquette. The Minister of Etiquette asked the official to investigate the case.

Do what you should do in your job and be reasonable.

As for being detained by the chief prosecutor of Dali Temple, it is even more logical. How can a matter involving the fate of a country not be classified as a major case?

So, this vague-faced Minister of Rites, He Xuzhi, and the seemingly just wallflower, the minister of Dali Temple, Zhang Ziqian, are all members of the emperor?

It seems that the emperor has heard rumors recently and even caught more rumors?

Everyone only thought that the current emperor always favored the prince because of his memory of the late empress, but they didn't know that King Xuan's sharp edge was too strong, and he might have unknowingly pierced the sensitive and defensive heart of the emperor!

Judging from the emperor's move, he would rather keep the prince, a trouble-making, outspoken, silly son, than let King Xuan, a young son with all-around skills and quick tactics, step on him to ascend to the throne!

The relationship between Emperor Jing and Prince Xuan, father and son, has probably been subtle for a long time!

Lu Chengfeng silently reasoned in his mind, and thought of the Cao Gang's private garrison of soldiers discovered in the Jiang family's extermination case, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He, the Caobang Inspector, had not even officially been in office for a day, and he had been given the title of Chunwei Science Examination Examiner. Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel deeply worried about his inexperienced character who would rather bend than bend.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and the king's heart is as deep as the sea.

How many people in history have been able to sit firmly on the throne of emperors who were not deeply suspicious and suspicious of the city?

I don’t know how many more days I can be free and happy. Come on, just count the days I can be happy!

In the 21st century, I always read those royal secrets and novels that sang, "I regret that I should not have been born in an emperor's family." Lu Chengfeng felt this way for the first time in the past few months when he came to Beijing to be the grandson of the emperor.

.

There is an indescribable sense of urgency layer upon layer. It seems that even thinking about danger in times of peace cannot fully summarize it.
