"However, if the evidence alone does not stand up, we still have to look at it."
Everything fell into Su Ziji's eyes, and the four of them didn't stay much longer. At this time, they had arrived at the library and went around the corridor. There was a fork in the road ahead, with different doors leading to different libraries.
Seeing that there was no one around, Su Ziji's eyes flashed slightly, his smile stopped, and he said seriously: "Brother Yu Xian, brother Fang Xian, there are a few things, please pay more attention to them."
"I dare not, please give me your permission, Your Highness." This was said politely, but both Yu Lu and Fang Xi knew that Su Ziji was here, and there must be a reason, so they hurriedly accepted it.
"First of all, my collection of essays and biography have been published. Please pay attention to the reaction of the candidates." Su Ziji said slowly: "Secondly, please pay attention to Qin Fengyu and Zhang Modong."
"Finally, and most importantly, if someone comes to you to sell test questions, don't buy them, and you must come to me as soon as possible and tell me about it..."
"However, don't come to me directly. If you leave a code in your room, someone will naturally take your pen and ink."
These few words were plain and simple, but once you think about it carefully, the connotation is unfathomable. Fang Xi just paid it back. Yu Lu suddenly sweated heavily on his forehead and answered: "Yes!"
After they separated and walked a few steps away, the little fox's head emerged from Su Ziji's arms. Su Ziji lowered his head to look at it and said softly to it: "Send the fox to follow you. If you have pen and ink, take it. Someone will follow it."
Contact me, follow me and report to me."
"Chirp!" Since the past few days, the little fox has felt that the pressure of the capital has been reduced by most. If there is nothing, he can go to many places. He did not refuse after hearing this. He agreed. After the words fell, the little fox started from
Su Ziji jumped out of his arms and quickly disappeared.
Seeing Su Ziji's figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, there was a rockery next to the corridor, with many strange rocks and shadows, and it was very quiet. At this time, a person came out of the corridor, wearing a veil, covering his eyes, looking at Su Zi
Ji's figure is in trance.
Su Ziji is here, you can probably recognize who he is.
Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao has an ethereal temperament. Even if her face is not shown, she looks very moving. She frowns in thought, as if she has encountered a difficult mystery.
"Before, I didn't wake up much and couldn't see clearly. Now it seems to be him, but something is wrong."
"But the charm hidden inside is not fake."
"It shouldn't be false. Apart from him, who else has such a lofty temperament?"
"What a shame, the fox was found early, and I have a job, so I can't fall behind."
After muttering this to herself, Zhou Yao frowned again and turned slightly to the side. As if she heard something, she took a step aside to hide her figure.
He saw a group of people coming from a distance, all wearing casual clothes, but Zhou Yao took a quick look and saw that these people had some official aura about them, and they should be low-ranking civil servants in the capital.
She didn't know the leader, but his name was Liang Yuyin.
A fifth-grade civil servant is actually considered to have a high position among this group of people.
Among the group of people surrounding him, someone was trying to please him by saying, "Congratulations, Mr. Liang, for becoming one of the examiners next spring. Speaking of which, you are now the youngest examiner since the founding of the Zheng Dynasty!"
This compliment scratches the itch, you know, the examiner is a real teacher, but the examiners in each room also have some affection, let alone the affection of two or three hundred Jinshi, which is enough to stabilize themselves.
It has entered the third grade.
Liang Yuyin also had a smile on his face, but he was still modest.
Another person said: "By the way, sir, the newspaper that carried the incident about the great grandson actually issued more than 6,300 copies, and nearby counties and counties were rushing to buy them. I didn't expect that the Beijing News would still have such a number of copies by the end of this year.
Circulation!”
The Beijing News is one of the many newspapers in Beijing, and Liang Yuyin is the editor-in-chief of the Beijing News.
This second man's words not only flattered Taisun, but also flattered Liang Yuyin, but this flattery was more subtle.
Liang Yuyin was a little surprised when he heard this. He stopped and said, "So many more copies were issued? Isn't it too enthusiastic?"
The Beijing News is mainly distributed in the capital and outside the capital, with a very fixed audience.
In fact, in this day and age, most newspapers have a fixed audience. After all, there are only so many readers, and it is useless for illiterate people to buy newspapers.
Another person saw that Liang Yuyin seemed to be very interested in this topic, so he joined in: "After all, the content about His Highness in the Beijing News this time is particularly exciting. Even I was amazed when I read it!"
Another person said: "Isn't that true? My boy was a little disapproving at first, but after seeing it, he is very impressed now. He has finally made progress and knows that he should study hard. He said that he should look for talents!"
The man who spoke was cheerful and obviously in a good mood.
After the group of people walked past, Zhou Yao turned around again. A gust of wind blew a newspaper and she caught it.
This newspaper was this issue of the Beijing News. Zhou Yao lowered her eyes and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the more she frowned, and a hint of understanding emerged.
"Is this... some kind of supernatural power?"
"When Wei Shizu ascended the throne at the age of eight, he had a clan at home and powerful ministers outside. The country was not upright, and people's hearts were divided."
"Within a few years, the powerful ministers and kings were removed, and they took over the power personally, and carried out restructuring."
"Could it also depend on this?"
Zhou Yao looked into the distance, thoughtfully.
"Miss, Miss, where are you?" At this time, the maid's anxious voice came, as if she was looking for her.
"Stop yelling, I'm here, let's go out."
"Are you going back?"
"No, go to the princess mansion."
Soon, an ox cart left the book shop and headed towards Princess Xinping's mansion.
Princess Mansion
Nowadays, the Princess Mansion is still deserted, but it is not as shunned as in the past. After all, many people in the capital know that Princess Xinping has always had a good relationship with her now hot grandson.
Now that the title of grandson has been decided, the emperor looks old and sick, and is afraid that within two or three years, the situation in the capital will change drastically. By then, Princess Xinping, who has lost the emperor's favor, may not be able to become the new emperor again.
The red man in front of you.
Not only the dignitaries in the capital knew this, but even Princess Xinping's biological mother, Concubine Wu, was also very aware of this.
At this time, a car came out of the palace and quietly parked in the main courtyard of Princess Xinping's mansion.
A mysterious visitor, sitting opposite Princess Xinping, said with a smile: "Xinping, your father has lifted your ground this time, which means that he is no longer angry with you, and you don't have to stay in the palace all the time. Should you submit, or should you accept it?"
Submit it, they are father and daughter after all, and your father was doing your best at the beginning, is it possible that father and daughter still have an overnight feud?"
Princess Xinping just listened quietly, and this look made the visitor a little helpless.
"Could it be that you have even complained about your mother and concubine?"
"Concubine Mother, why do you have to say these words again?" Princess Xinping finally spoke this time and called the person "Concubine Mother". This mysterious visitor turned out to be Concubine Wu in the palace!
Although Da Wei and Da Zheng did not have many restrictions on their concubines, and the concubines could leave the palace from time to time to visit relatives, it was still very unusual for a mother-in-law to bring gifts to the princess's mansion to meet her daughter.
Concubine Wu herself was depressed. She had persuaded her daughter to alienate herself from the king, and it was indeed for her daughter's good!
Who would have thought that when there were several adult princes, a grandson who returned from the common people could become the heir apparent?
Now the emperor is old and sick, and Concubine Wu knows this very well. The old emperor's current body may not last even three years, let alone one year!
When the grandson comes to power, except for the queen, who can continue to live a decent life as the grandson's biological grandmother, the concubines and concubines in the harem will all be "assigned" to the cold palace!
The so-called cold palace is not only the concubine who made mistakes, but also the concubine of the previous emperor. To put it mildly, many of the concubines were stunningly beautiful, and some were even younger than Xinping.
When a new emperor ascends the throne, the previous emperor's concubines must avoid suspicion.
It is said that the cruelest dynasties were all punished by death. Now that the virtues have been dismissed, they have to be properly placed and cannot meet with the new emperor often. Naturally, it is very suitable to be near the Leng Palace.
Concubine Wu, who had been favored for the first half of her life, felt panicked when she thought of this.
Her eyes fell back on her daughter, and she thought that her daughter was now older, but she had never married, and she didn't know what kind of consort she would find in the future.
When the emperor is his biological father, the princess who is ignored is still a princess.
It would be really different once the emperor became his nephew.
Thinking of this, Concubine Wu sighed: "You should indeed blame your mother and concubine. Back then..."
She paused and continued: "You have been confined for so long, so you should go out and walk around. Maybe you haven't seen your friends in the past for a long time? Go and see the ones you need to see. If your friends don't move around often, it will be easier."
Alienated.”
Concubine Wu's words can be regarded as speaking from the bottom of her heart.
Princess Xinping just said calmly: "Concubine, you are right."
Such an attitude made Concubine Wu choke.
However, it took a lot of effort for her to come out this time. She couldn't stay outside for too long. She sighed: "Xinping, think about it yourself."
"You are not young anymore. You have to find a way out for yourself. Don't be ignorant, huh?"
After Concubine Wu left, Princess Xinping's pretty face that had been sullen showed a scowl. Could the so-called friends from the past mean several princesses, county heads, or official ladies?
When they get married, they naturally look after their husbands and raise their children. How much influence can they have?
What Concubine Wu said just now was actually a hint to herself that she wanted to interact more with her grandson.
"Huh! I was not allowed to come and go before, but now you are hinting at me to go. Who do you think I am?" Princess Xinping felt panicked in her heart.
In fact, she also grew up in the palace and was used to seeing these things, but this was the first time she truly felt that the bottom line for women in the palace was really very low.
"Don't be shameless, I want more, come here!" She stood up and shouted.
Immediately a female officer came in: "Princess, what are your orders?"
"Prepare the car, I want to go back to the Taoist temple!" Princess Xinping said. She also has two thousand households in the fief. Although they are all fictitious, each household can receive fief gold from the government every month.
In addition to this, the princess also has a salary and annual reward, so she will never starve to death.
The female officer couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this. When Xinping saw her, she became even more angry and about to get angry. At this moment, a maid hurried in from outside, saluted her and reported: "Princess, Miss Zhou wants to see you!"
