fake prince

Chapter 303

"What should I do with Su Ziji? It's the first ten days of February, and there's still one month left before March [-]th. It's absolutely impossible to delay Su Ziji's participation in the examination with Eunuch Zhao watching over him."

"Finding a crime is even more impossible to pass Eunuch Zhao."

"But his attitude of not even showing his face now is that he hates me, so he has to deal with it!"

"Or is it that I will take a risk and hint to others that I will deliberately suppress it during the test?"

This risk is too great. Interfering with the court examination, once discovered, is the crime of beheading. In the eight years of Yuanheng's imperial examination fraud case, 17 people including the chief examiner were executed, and even the academician Xiao Congbo was detained. Going to the execution ground and beheading on the spot, this is a lesson from the past.

The imperial examination is a national ceremony, and it is the most important thing. If the previous dynasty handled it like this, this dynasty will not take it lightly.

At a moment of desperation, a soldier suddenly came in and reported: "My lord, Su Ziji is here to see you."

Cui Zhaoquan's eyes lit up immediately, and he subconsciously stood up: "Come in, please!"

He only took one step, but he came back to his senses, and immediately went to look at the subordinate official who was reporting to him. Seeing the surprised expression on his face, he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, and sat back slowly.

He stroked his beard and pretended that nothing happened just now.

The official saw him, thought about it, and asked Cui Zhaoquan to leave.

Cui Zhaoquan nodded and agreed.

When the official went out, he happened to meet the young man brought in by the soldiers. The young man was dressed in a green shirt, with black hair and a wooden crown, and his eyes were like spots of lacquer.

"This is Su Ziji. I've only seen him from a distance a few times before, but I didn't expect to see him up close. He doesn't look like a villain at all. Is this the so-called one who should not be judged by his appearance?"

The official was Cui Zhaoquan's entourage, so he naturally knew about Su Ziji's close contacts with eunuchs before.

As a civil official, he often disdains the eunuchs, so although he was a little puzzled by Cui Shangshu's reaction just now, he didn't speak to Su Ziji, just glanced at him lightly, and then passed by.

Su Ziji didn't even give him a look, and followed the soldiers.

After walking a few steps, the soldier stood outside the cabin. As soon as he entered, he bowed to Cui Zhaoquan who was sitting: "Student Su Ziji, I pay my respects to your lord."

"You came to see me, but you have something to do?" Although Cui Zhaoquan was fluctuating in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, he just asked calmly.

"Could it be that you asked me for something?" This was originally a trace of dissatisfaction in my heart, but it was brought out at this moment, which was considered a bit of ridicule.

Unexpectedly, Su Ziji immediately raised his head and looked at him with clear eyes and earnest expression: "My lord, the students do have something to ask for."

On an imperial envoy ship not far away, Superintendent Zhao Dacici sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and was drinking tea on the ground.

Returning to Beijing this time has gained a lot, not only got a windfall through Sun Baihu, but the money is not hot, so I feel very at ease holding it.

He also took revenge on Qian Zhidong who cheated him. According to his understanding of the emperor, this old man will die in all likelihood when he arrives in the capital.

By the way, he also made military merits. Although for eunuchs, military merits are far less useful than windfall, but they can increase the weight in the emperor's heart. A chief eunuch like himself has everything he should have, and if he doesn't, he won't have it in this life , it is the most important thing to be able to get rich and please the emperor.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is probably the old man Cui Zhaoquan.

This person had a conflict with him in the southwest, although it didn't cause much trouble, but Superviser Zhao firmly remembered it.

It's just that there is nothing fatal now. Civil servants are different from military generals. They cannot be killed with one blow. Ministers of this level can easily recover.

"Oh, I can only bear with it for now, who made our family just a eunuch."

"As for Su Ziji." Superintendent Zhao was lost in thought, looking at the sea water, and murmured for a while: "I can't figure it out, but I always feel that there is a temperament that cannot be restrained by heaven and earth."

"This kind of temperament is a heroic temperament. If I were a courtier, I would persuade the emperor to stay away. No, I don't need to say it. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. If it is better than others, everyone will criticize it. This son is in the southwest. I have repeatedly made strategies, which have already attracted people's jealousy. I don't need to speak out, and nine out of ten will be overwhelmed by slander and slander..."

"Only one or two out of ten came to the fore, and they didn't end well."

"Although I am a father-in-law, I also know that since ancient times, the prime minister has never been able to get it from someone who has done nothing."

The prime ministers of all dynasties, except for the founding of the country, no one has made meritorious service, which actually illustrates the principles of the court.

"Su Ziji is indeed young, or he may think that he is keeping a low profile. In fact, being an official is to be a man, with three points of talent and seven points of personnel, he shows his sharpness."

"According to our family, one point of talent is about the same."

"But Su Ziji is from the blood of the prince, or the emperor has other ideas, but it's hard to say."

Superintendent Zhao suddenly remembered the prince's past, and couldn't help being dazed. He took a sip of tea in his mouth, swallowed it after a long time, and felt cold again, so he vomited. The body reported: "Eunuch, Su Juren has just gone to Cui Zhaoquan's imperial ship."

"What? Su Ziji went to see Cui Zhaoquan? Hurry up and find out what it is!"

After sending someone out, the tea could not be drunk at last, and he put the teacup on the table with a bang, his face was a little ugly: "Could it be that you want to have both sides, want to make friends with our family, and also please old man Cui Zhaoquan?"

If this is the case, I have to think about it carefully, Su Ziji's political wisdom, this official career will not last long!
Even a eunuch like him despises a capricious villain, even if he uses it, he won't treat it sincerely. Could Cui Zhaoquan tolerate it?
After a while, the man turned back again and reported the situation to Superintendent Zhao.

The source of this information was not obtained from the imperial envoy's ship, but from the ship where Su Zi lived.

Shao Sisen's death was not hidden from anyone, and it would be known upon investigation.

But Su Ziji stopped the people who carried away Shao Sisen's body, and instead went to see Cui Zhaoquan, and naturally everyone knew about it when asked.

I have thought that Su Ziji is for the future, I have thought that Su Ziji is for learning, I have thought about all kinds of reasons why Su Zi used this to ask Cui Zhaoquan, Supervisor Zhao really did not expect that it would be such a reason!

He was so surprised that he stood up directly: "You mean, he went to apologize for Shao Sisen's sake?"

When you ask this question, you know you are asking too much.

Apart from this reason, at this juncture, Su Ziji went to see Cui Zhaoquan, why else?
I really want to ease the relationship with Cui Zhaoquan. In the first ten days, which day can I not go?

Several times, Cui Zhaoquan even vaguely wanted to pass the ladder, but Su Ziji ignored it, and he knew it.

Superintendent Zhao stopped talking, and took a few steps in the spacious cabin: "I thought you were a steel cervical spine and refused to bow your head, but now you still bow your head?"

The words were a bit sarcasm, but the visitor was surprised to find that the supervisor sighed like this, seemingly dissatisfied, but there was an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.
