He also wanted to rush towards Fang Yuan, but was blocked by Li Junxian.
Fang Yuan looked coldly and said nothing. After all, the real decision maker was Li Shimin.
"Xiao Yu, I don't want to be so heartless when we are a monarch and a minister."
"If you cooperate in explaining Bishamon's matter, I may consider not pursuing Xiao Rui's responsibility."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He wished he could kill the father and son with one knife.
But he was more concerned about Bishamon's intelligence, and had to think about Princess Xiangcheng.
"I..."
Xiao Yu opened his mouth, his face full of struggle.
"You're stupid!"
"Someone is here, put Xiao Yu into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and no one is allowed to see him."
"Xiao Rui was stripped of all his official positions and placed under house arrest in the Prince Consort's Mansion. He is not allowed to leave the Prince Consort's Mansion even half a step without my order!"
Li Shimin ordered angrily.
Xiao Yu and his son were taken away.
At this time, the palace physician arrived and treated Du Ruhui.
After diagnosis by the imperial doctors, Du Ruhui's arrow was not deep and his injuries were not serious.
It was because of his poor health and severe pain that he passed out.
After treatment, Du Ruhui was soon out of danger and was sent back to Du Mansion by Jinwu Guard.
After Du Ruhui was sent away, Fang Yuan discovered that there was a little girl like porcelain standing next to Empress Changsun.
She is also the missing Princess Changle.
After the fight ended, Queen Changsun thought of her daughter. She ran into the room and found Princess Changle sleeping, so she was woken up.
"Fang Yuan, I want to thank you very much this time."
"If it weren't for your wit, something would have happened to me and the Queen."
Li Shimin patted Fang Yuan's shoulder heavily and said.
Ying Meng Xianchen is Ying Meng Xianchen, who helped me resolve the huge crisis.
First there was the issue of the Edict to Sin, then there was the issue of tens of thousands of refugees from the Yellow River Dam, and now.
Each one is a top priority, a huge contribution, and no amount of reward can be exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. That is what a minister should do."
"But His Majesty punished Xiao Rui like that. Is the punishment too light?"
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He really wanted Li Shimin to give him another official rank.
But this idea is impossible in a short time, and promotion is too fast.
The current Chang'an Order is not bad, it controls the entire Chang'an County, and there are many things that can be done.
"You have to let Xiao Yu see hope and tell me about Bishamon."
Li Shimin explained.
It’s not sure whether Xiao Rui knows about this matter.
The more important point is to tell Xiao Yu that he is determined to let his son go.
If you are willing to cooperate, then Xiao Rui will also be able to get opportunities such as glory and wealth.
But if you don't cooperate, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless and would rather let Princess Xiangcheng remain a widow.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Fang Yuan pursed his lips and reluctantly praised him.
He was slandering in his heart, if you had paid close attention to Zheng Guanyin, you might have figured out Bishamon long ago.
But Fang Yuan didn't plan to tell Li Shimin about Zheng Guanyin's problem, at least not personally.
Because that would embarrass Li Shimin, and there is no evidence that Zheng Guanyin is related to Bishamon.
"Chang Le, say thank you to Fang Yuan."
At this time, Queen Changsun pushed Princess Changle and said.
Queen Changsun has a very good relationship with Li Shimin, and she has heard about Fang Yuan several times from Li Shimin.
He knew that Fang Yuan's status in Li Shimin's heart was extraordinary, and if it weren't for Fang Yuan this time, the consequences for their family would be unpredictable.
So I think Princess Changle should also thank Fang Yuan.
When Fang Yuan heard this, he would say something like "you're welcome."
But at this time, Princess Changle had already spoken, leaving Fang Yuan stunned.
"Uncle Fang, thank you for saving my life."
Princess Changle bowed slightly.
A pair of big eyes looked at Fang Yuan full of curiosity.
"Uncle Fang?"
"Princess, can you call me Brother Fang or Brother Yuan?"
Fang Yuan's mouth twitched and he said.
Suddenly, I feel like time is making me grow older.
Although he is still young, he is called uncle.
And the other person is still a nine or ten-year-old girl.
After calculation, there is not much difference between myself and Princess Changle.
"Pfft, hahaha..."
"Fang Yuan, do you want to be my junior?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
In the past, he had communicated with Fang Yuan several times while concealing his identity, and he regarded Fang Yuan as a friend.
And if you really think about it, he and Fang Yuan are only a few years apart, so they are indeed the same generation.
When Queen Changsun and Princess Changle saw this, they also covered their mouths and smiled.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
What else can Fang Yuan say?
The emperor means that he and I are equals.
Are you saying that you still have to surrender your status to the emperor?
"Okay, Fang Yuan, thank you for your hard work tonight."
"I wanted to give you some rewards, but you were promoted too quickly. If you reward me again, you will be jealous."
"But don't worry, I will keep it in mind and I will give it to you when the time comes."
Li Shimin smiled and then said solemnly.
Fang Yuan contributed a lot tonight, but Fang Yuan was promoted too quickly.
If I reward you with good things now, I'm afraid more people will be jealous.
He is also worried that Fang Yuan is too proud and cannot control himself.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Yuan was not surprised.
He understands this too.
Li Shimin was able to tell him this from the bottom of his heart, which moved him a little.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Li Shimin nodded, ordered Jin Wuwei to clear the way in front, and drove back to the palace.
"Goodbye, Uncle Fang."
Princess Changle smiled.
He waved his hand to Fang Yuan playfully.
It seems that he called Fang Yuan this way on purpose.
"Goodbye princess."
Fang Yuan was already relieved and waved his hands.
After Li Shimin left, Fang Yuan, Xue Bowu and others also left.
The scene was handed over to Li Junxian, who was responsible for the follow-up work.
......
The night is silent.
It seems like nothing happened.
But the well-informed and powerful families already know something.
The dark tide of Chang'an City surges like a black beast devouring people's hearts.
Xiangcheng Princess Mansion.
Xiao Rui was escorted back and informed Princess Xiangcheng.
Princess Xiangcheng was shocked, scolded Xiao Rui, and ordered people to watch Xiao Rui and enter the palace overnight.
Xiao Rui always looked like his dead father, and he was in a state of despair. He didn't show his ferocious look until he returned to his room.
He and Princess Xiangcheng have been sleeping in separate rooms since their marriage.
At this time, sitting on the stool in Xiao Rui's room was a man in black dressed like Bishamon's military advisor.
"Military advisor, save my father!"
Xiao Rui plopped down and knelt down in front of Bishamon's military advisor.
"If he can't be saved, he just wants to be blessed."
"Here's the medicine for you. Don't contact the organization until you have an official position."
Bishamon's military advisor said indifferently.
He stood up, opened the door, and disappeared into Princess Xiangcheng's mansion.
Xiao Rui stood up and walked to where Bishamon's military advisor was sitting. There was a box on the table.
He held the box tightly in his hand, like a wounded beast, and let out a hoarse roar.
The next day, the high-level officials of Chang'an City were shaken.
Duke Xiao Yu of the Song Dynasty used Princess Changle as bait to lure the emperor to his residence in order to assassinate her.
Fortunately, Du Xiang, Chang'an Ling and others arrived in time and stopped the accident. As a result, Du Xiang was seriously injured and is currently unconscious.
For a moment, the ministers were shocked and felt unbelievable.
But many powerful people know what happened last night, and they are sure it is true.
But in the face of such a big thing, all the ministers who came to court in the morning became silent.
Li Shimin dismissed several people from their posts in the early morning court, also deprived Xiao Yu of all his titles, and scolded the civil and military officials of the court before reluctantly ending the matter.
But all the ministers knew that the matter was not over yet, because the real mastermind behind the scenes was Bishamon, and Bishamon actually invaded the country. They were worried, not knowing whether the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were enemies or friends.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examinations in each state have ended. Your Majesty, please determine the date when the Beijing examination will start."
Changsun Wuji stood up despite being scolded.
Yesterday he received the official document of completion of the last state and county imperial examination.
The imperial examinations in the various states and counties of the Tang Dynasty have come to an end, and they are waiting for the imperial court to hold the last imperial examination to decide who will be awarded the gold medal.
"The Beijing Examination will be held one month later today."
"The Ministry of Personnel organizes the examination, and the Chang'an Order is responsible for all questions of the candidates."
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and gave the order.
After he finished speaking, he did not allow Changsun Wuji and other ministers to refuse, and left directly.
Changsun Wuji and others knew that the emperor was in a rage and did not dare to say anything else.
Just handing over all the candidates' questions to Chang'an made Fang Yuan unhappy with many ministers in the court.
Every year, ministers are competing for the responsibility for examinations and candidate issues, and they all want to be involved.
Because being in charge of the imperial examination means getting close to the candidates, forming a good relationship with them, and even becoming a mentor and disciple, etc.
Although the relationship is not very good, there is still a trace of relationship. It will be much easier to contact any candidates who enter the officialdom in the future.
The candidates are happy and the examiners are willing. Although there is no explicit regulation, the imperial examinations are fought over by ministers every year, and the fight is serious.
But now, the emperor has issued an edict and has made a decision. The culprit is Changsun Wuji.
For a moment, the ministers' eyes changed when they looked at Changsun Wuji.
Although Changsun Wuji was the official minister, he still felt cold all over.
He did not stay long and left immediately after the court, regardless of the opinions of the ministers.
Anyway, the Ministry of Personnel is the one responsible for the organization. As for the candidates’ questions, they can go to Fang Yuan.
At this time, Fang Yuan was working in the county government office.
He is the kind of person who won't go to morning court without being asked.
It's because Fang Yuan is too lazy to get up so early, and it's also a matter of official position.
The Chang'an Order is responsible for the affairs of Chang'an County, and is very busy every day.
Sometimes there are things to do early in the morning, and you can't be busy after the morning meeting like those ministers.
It seems that Fang Yuan has not had much work in the past few days since he took office, but in fact, it has not been completely taken over by the county magistrate and the chief registrar.
Ma Zhou was also here at this time, coming to thank Fang Yuan.
That day he saw that the emperor's inspection results came out, and he was appointed as the supervisory censor.
The supervisory censor's rank is not high but his authority is wide. When he was in Liaozhou, Wei Ting and three others were able to interrogate Fang Yuan, which shows that it is unusual.
"Fang Ling, I won't say anything about my gratitude. If you have anything to do in the future, you can just give me your instructions."
Ma Zhou solemnly expressed his gratitude.
Thanks to Fang Yuan, he finally started to enter the officialdom.
And he is also the supervisory censor he wants, who can quickly show his prominence.
"Brother Ma, if possible, I still hope that we can become friends."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
The supervisory censor is another ally.
With Ma Zhou's ability, he will be promoted very quickly.
In the future, we will need more help to be able to sit firmly in the court.
"This is the county government, I will call you by your name in private!"
Ma Zhou is greatly grateful.
Fang Yuan is in the fifth rank, and he is in the eighth rank.
Even though there was such a big difference, Fang Yuan didn't look down on it, which greatly moved Ma Zhou.
A friend is not someone who flatters you when you are triumphant, but someone who helps you when you are down.
Fang Yuan is not only his friend, but also his boss, the noble man in this life!
"Okay, when will you take office?"
Fang Yuan asked with a smile.
"It should be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Ma Zhou said uncertainly.
He has just received the imperial edict from the palace.
Come and tell Fang Yuan the good news as soon as possible.
Judging from what the eunuch said, it should be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"I wish you good luck in officialdom!"
Fang Yuan offered tea instead of wine to bless him.
"Thank you."
"Then I'll leave first."
"I still have to move out of the Chang family and find a place to live."
Ma Zhou responded to Fang Yuan and stood up after drinking tea.
Once you enter the officialdom, you are no longer a down-and-out person dependent on others.
He wants to find a place to live and slowly develop to a higher position in Chang'an City.
Fang Yuan stood up and was about to ask if he wanted to help, when eunuch Wang De arrived.
"My lord, why bother you to come here in person?"
Fang Yuan quickly greeted him and asked in surprise.
Ma Zhou was also surprised and followed Fang Yuan to greet him.
As a eunuch beside the emperor, Wang De was highly respected although he had little power.
"Fang Ling, a good thing."
"The imperial court will hold the Beijing Examination today next month."
"His Majesty has already said that the Chang'an Order will be responsible for all the candidates' problems."
Wang De said with a smile.
Under the leadership of Fang Yuan, he sat down under the coffee table.
Ma Zhou knew what was going on, and immediately poured tea for Fang Yuan and Wang De after they sat down.
"Any questions?"
Fang Yuan said in surprise.
This power seems a bit big.
Ma Zhou on the side was also surprised, but did not interrupt.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you privately."
Wang De nodded heavily and whispered.
But he did not continue, but looked at Ma Zhou aside.
Ma Yiyi was stunned, and immediately understood, he stood up to avoid the conversation between the two.
"My lord, this is your majesty's newly appointed censor, it's okay."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
It can be regarded as a recommendation to Wang De.
Of course, Fang Yuan didn't know if Wang De knew Ma Zhou.
But this love was given to Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou immediately burst into tears of gratitude.
"It turns out to be Ma Yushi, disrespectful and disrespectful."
Wang De was very polite for Fang Yuan's sake.
Because he knew from the emperor that the emperor valued Fang Yuan very much.
"I don't dare, I don't dare, please have tea, please."
Ma Zhou laughed repeatedly and poured tea for Wang De.
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you privately."
"If you want to handle the candidates' problems by yourself, then you can handle it with full authority. If you don't want to, you can also entrust the minister to help."
Wang De said bluntly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Eunuch."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then thanked him.
After the explanation, Wang De no longer stayed.
"Fang Ling, congratulations, His Majesty has great trust in you!"
Ma Zhou said excitedly after seeing the person leaving.
He was just named the Supervisory Censor today. Before today, he was an ordinary person.
He didn't know what happened at the Duke of Song's Mansion last night, nor did he know Fang Yuan's position in Li Shimin's heart.
"It's both good and bad."
"Brother Ma, do me a favor."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
He knows the key.
The emperor asked Wang De to explain in private, which was unusual.
"You said."
Ma Zhou asked directly.
"The Duke of Song has fallen. He wanted to assassinate the emperor last night."
Fang Yuan said slowly.
Before he finished speaking, Ma Zhou screamed in shock.
The government officials passing by looked over in surprise and saw Fang Yuan leaving quickly.
"Don't be too alarmed, it's normal if you don't know."
"There must be many problems in Song Guogong's relationship. Keep an eye on them and impeach them if you find any problems."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yu has fallen, but Xiao Yu’s relationship has not regressed.
Today's morning meeting has passed, and Wang De only talked about the imperial examination, which means that Xiao Yu's matter has no greater impact.
Based on Xiao Yu and Xiao Rui's resentment towards themselves, they don't dare to do anything to the emperor, but they certainly dare to do anything to themselves.
Rather than being attacked by them, it is better to attack yourself and make Ma Zhou stare at them.
As Ma Zhou, it is too easy to stare at them.
I can still support you when something happens.
"Don't worry!"
Ma Zhou nodded heavily.
He had heard that Xiao Yu impeached Fang Yuan in the court.
I also learned that Fang Yuan once broke into Song Guogong's mansion, and the two had some grudges.
It is estimated that Fang Yuan wants revenge, but regardless of whether he wants revenge or not, Ma Zhou will help him.
"Okay, then I'll get busy first."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
Ma Zhou understood and stopped staying.
After he left, Fang Yuan called over the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and a group of doctors.
"On today next month, the imperial court will hold the Beijing Examination."
"His Majesty has decreed that I will be solely responsible for all the candidates' problems."
"Can you all tell me how to deal with this matter?"
Fang Yuan looked at them and asked.
When he was in Liaozhou, the imperial examination was held only after Fang Yuan left office.
Therefore, although Fang Yuan founded Liaozhou College, he had no experience in holding imperial examinations.
"Fang Ling, are you responsible for all the candidates' questions?"
Zheng Mingzhu and others were surprised.
They have been in Chang'an County Government for many years.
In previous years, their Chang'an County government was not responsible.
At most, it’s just a matter of arranging some personnel to be responsible for safety.
Now that Fang Yuan is fully responsible, they were greatly shocked and couldn't believe it.
"That's right, let's talk about how to operate it."
Fang Yuan nodded and said calmly.
"Fang Ling, when the Beijing Examination was held in previous years, the candidates' residences were relatively messy. Many candidates reported that it was noisy and unable to sleep, and there were even incidents such as theft."
"My subordinates believe that centralized management is the best. The inn is completely booked and only provided for candidates to live in. This will facilitate management and not worry about various accidents."
Xu Shihui was the first to put forward his opinion.
He also followed Fang Yuan to Chang'an City.
Arranged by Fang Yuan to be an ordinary doctor in the county government.
Xu Shihui has been considering the upcoming imperial examination these days, so he has done some research.
I learned that the imperial court did not pay much attention to the imperial examinations, and did not care about the candidates very well. There was a lot of chaos.
"This is a good suggestion. Are there any other suggestions?"
Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Have someone register the suggestion.
It will be optimized and perfected after the discussion is completed.
