Su Ziji didn't know that Shao Sisen had already thought about it, so he returned to the original question and analyzed: "Now that the minister has received the imperial envoy, the military situation is very good, and we will set off soon. We are already on the list. It is difficult to correct, and the team will not just wait.
The two of us."
"Put it off until the spring of next year before choosing someone to follow you. Not to mention that you and I don't have such a face, even the Prime Minister and the Prince can't do it. The current plan can only make mistakes."
"You and I are distinguished people who have been favored by the imperial court, and we are also imperial students. If we raise objections, we are afraid that we will be ridiculed immediately. We only enjoy the benefits and are unwilling to make any sacrifices for the imperial court."
"What's more, if you continue to resist in this situation, you will violate the rules. You and I may be convicted or stripped of our honors."
"If we really want to fight, there are probably only two possibilities, or even both. Are you willing to take the risk?"
Of course he was unwilling. Shao Sisen remained silent, but this was tantamount to answering Su Ziji.
Su Ziji said: "Looking at it this way, you and I should have the same opinion, right?"
"Brother Su Xian, can we only go up in danger?" Shao Sisen sighed.
"Now, we really have no choice but to get into trouble. Since we can't refuse this mission of following the imperial envoy to investigate the case, in order not to miss next year's examination, we can only solve this case quickly."
Shao Sisen reluctantly cheered up and nodded: "You are right, but I am very confused right now and will be leaving soon. What can you and I do now?"
"Brother Shao, go and investigate who is in this team. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Su Ziji looked at Shao Sisen.
Shao Sisen said: "This is not difficult."
After all, he is also a son of an official, and someone in his family is an official. Although it is not possible to solve the matter at this juncture, it is possible to find out who is in the imperial envoy team through human hands.
Su Ziji passed the troublesome matter to Shao Sisen and continued: "I will investigate the inside story of this case so that I can be prepared and try my best to resolve it as soon as possible."
Shao Sisen glanced at him and wanted to say something, but closed his mouth.
Even if he didn't say it, Su Ziji also knew that Shao Sisen didn't think that his two imperial students could play a key role in solving this case.
"Are Shao Sisen afraid that if even the local officials and the imperial envoy leading this team can't solve the case as soon as possible, the two of us can't solve the problem with our help?"
"But I refuse to accept my fate like this. Before the time comes, I will fight for it."
However, Su Ziji did not continue to persuade.
Although the two of them are kind of like grasshoppers on the same rope now, they have no friendship. If I say some things now, Shao Sisen won't believe it, and will think that he is exaggerating.
Shao Sisen did think so. He didn't want to discuss this matter with Su Ziji. After all, in his opinion, even his father and brother could not do anything. The head of the Ministry of War also said that there was nothing he could do. Su Ziji came from a small family.
What else can be done?
But after all, they were going to the southwest with him, and Shao Sisen, who didn't like doing things too extreme, still came to tell Su Ziji the news.
And Su Ziji was indeed as he expected, there was really nothing he could do.
"Forget it, it's okay to go and investigate who's in the team. If you can't catch up with the exam this time, at least you can make friends with a few officials while going to the southwest. It's not a waste."
He no longer had much hope that he would be able to make it back in time to take the exam.
Now that they have divided their tasks, Shao Sisen did not intend to stay any longer. He stood up and walked out: "Time is pressing, Su Xiandi, I will go back to find someone to investigate."
Ye Buhui came in with tea at this time. Seeing that the two of them had already stood up and walked out, he could only put down the tea, followed a few steps behind and sent it out.
Just as they walked to the door, a car drove up in front of the three of them. The person driving the car was not an ordinary driver wearing a bundt, but a young man in fancy clothes.
This person saw Su Ziji and Shao Sisen at a glance, looked back and forth on their faces, and finally returned to Su Ziji, jumped out of the car and saluted: "Is this Su Ziji, Mr. Su?"
"I am, who are you?" Su Ziji asked with his heart skipping a beat.
This man had delicate features, fair skin, no beard on his lips, and spoke in a soft voice. Even though he was not like Supervisor Zhao, he could tell that he was a eunuch at a glance, but Su Ziji still noticed it.
arrive.
"Our family is just a small person serving Princess Xinping, not worth mentioning. Since you are Mr. Su, our family has found the right person."
"This is the invitation letter that the princess has asked our family to hand over to you. There is also an invitation card. Please be sure to attend the snow viewing poetry party held by the princess the day after tomorrow."
Ye Buhui was originally just watching curiously, but when he heard the words "Princess Xinping", he already frowned. Now that he had listened to them all, his face darkened.
Seeing this, the little fox who came out stopped avoiding her. He jumped into Ye Buhui's arms with a light jump and patted Ye Buhui's cheek gently with his paw, as if to comfort her.
Su Ziji looked at the posture of the young father-in-law and couldn't help but frown. The princess's mansion had a family magistrate (seventh rank), a chief minister (eighth rank), a scribe (ninth rank), and a minor clerk (ninth rank).
), are all held by eunuchs.
The man in front of me is probably a high-ranking eunuch, so he cannot accept this letter.
But without looking back, he could feel the burning gaze on his back, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Please allow me to write a reply later, and you will bring it back to the princess."
On one side, Shao Sisen was stunned by this sudden invitation.
"Brother Su Xian, do you know Princess Xinping?" Shao Sisen looked at Su Ziji again with a careful look, and the feelings in his heart were really mixed.
"I have also heard about this snow-watching poetry gathering. Many young gentlemen are unable to attend even if they want to go. However, Su Ziji actually received a personal invitation from the princess. Could it be that the princess intends to favor her... By the way, this Taixue recommendation order may be the result of the princess's request.
Grant."
If others can't get the recommendation order, is it still difficult for the princess?
"No wonder Su Ziji doesn't have a family lineage. The lecturers in Taixue are very polite. Yes, if you become a subordinate, you are a relative of the emperor. A third-rank official has the status, so you have to be polite!"
"It's just that you, Su Ziji, have such connections, and no one else can stop us from going to the southwest. Princess Xinping is the emperor's beloved daughter, and we have a friendship with him. I would like to ask you a few words. Could it be that Princess Xinping won't do anything?" Thinking of this, Shao Sisen felt a little unhappy.
.
If you become an attached horse, it doesn't matter whether you take the exam or not, but I, Shao Sisen, still have to take the imperial examination!
Su Ziji glanced around, how could he not guess what Shao Sisen was thinking at this time, but the problem was that he was not familiar with this Princess Xinping, and getting close to her would be more likely to cause bitter consequences, so he had to smile bitterly: "I only met once, so it doesn't count as acquaintance.
.”
"Brother Su Xian is really good at joking. It's getting late, Brother Yu, so I'll take the first step." Shao Sisen didn't believe this at all, but since Su Ziji didn't want to admit it, he couldn't force it, so he could only say to him with a trace of trance.
