As for Xie Jingyan, after Eunuch Yuan left, he took the imperial edict to the outskirts of the city to find Mr. Hange. He didn't come back even after Shen Wan finished dinner.

Shen Wan sat on the swing and watched the sunset.

The gorgeous sunset gradually gave way to night, and Xie Jingyan's figure finally appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.

Through the lanterns on the corridor, Shen Wan saw that Xie Jingyan had empty hands, and Chen Feng behind him did not see the imperial edict in his hands either.

Shen Wan got off the swing and went up to him and said, "Why are you back so late? It's time for dinner?"

Xie Jingyan said, "I ate at Mr. Hange's place."

Shen Wan guessed that it was Mr. Han Ge who invited him to dinner. Shen Wan asked, "Have you convinced Mr. Han Ge?"

"He took the order."

There was no certainty that Xie Jingyan would not open this mouth to the emperor.

Mr. Hange's eldest son committed suicide in the Yan Mansion. This incident was like a thorn stuck in Mr. Hange's throat. He could not pull it out and could not swallow it. Mr. Hange also wanted to know who invited his son in the name of Concubine Chen. Going to Yan Mansion.

Xie Jingyan went to Mr. Hange with the imperial edict. He didn't waste any words. He directly said that he wanted to find out the cause of his mother's death and asked Mr. Hange to help him.

Young Master Han committed suicide in the Yan Mansion, which made it clear that it was related to Concubine Chen being plotted against. Even if Mr. Han Ge did not help Xie Jingyan, he would still seek justice for his son.

However, Mr. Han Ge did not immediately agree. Xie Jingyan accompanied Mr. Han Ge after dinner, and when he left, Mr. Han relented and took over Qiu Wei's position as examiner.

Shen Wan was in a good mood when he heard that Mr. Han Ge had accepted the order. People who could sit in the position of Mr. Ge must have extraordinary strategic skills. With Mr. Han Ge helping Xie Jingyan, they would be even more powerful.

That night, Shen Wan slept soundly, but many ministers in the court were tossing and turning and couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do.

The fight for the crown prince's position has reached now, and those courtiers who took sides early are tired. Now they no longer expect to follow the dragon's merits. They just hope not to make enemies with the future crown prince or become a thorn in the prince's side.

I didn't sleep well at night and wanted to hear my colleagues' opinions, so I went to the morning court early.

The ministers were talking to each other in groups of twos and threes, all wondering whether King Ling could persuade Han Ge Lao to return to the court.

In the morning, Prime Minister Zuo and Duke Mao didn't know about this and were still fighting for the position of examiner in Qiu Wei. Eunuch Yuan reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, King Ling persuaded Mr. Han Ge to accept the order. Now Mr. Han Ge is here." Outside the palace."

The emperor announced that Mr. Hange had come to court.

Since Mr. Han Ge resigned, many ministers have not seen him again. After more than six years, Mr. Han Ge has aged more than ten years.

But it is normal. The proud eldest son suddenly committed suicide. It is a huge blow to a father. Eunuch Yuan went to announce the decree, but Mr. Han Ge refused. King Ling persuaded him to return to the court. Mr. Han Ge was bound to She was on King Ling's side.

Although Mr. Han Ge had been away from the court for six years, he became Qiu Wei's examiner as soon as he came back. No, he returned to the court as Qiu Wei's examiner. It probably won't take long for him to regain the prestige he had before resigning.

Although the emperor was still concerned about the death of Mr. Han Ge's son in the Yan Mansion, since he had decreed that Mr. Han Ge should return to the court, he would not do anything to slap himself in the face. He first praised Mr. Han Ge before discussing Qiu Wei. .

The position of the chief examiner has been confirmed, and there are still two deputy examiners.

Prime Minister Zuo and Duke Mao had to settle for the next best thing. They couldn't compete for the position of chief examiner, and the deputy examiner had to fill in their own people.

The emperor selected one person each from the eldest prince and the Jin royal party to serve as deputy examiners.

The emperor also made arrangements for the Eighteenth Supervisor Scrivener, "On the day of the Qiu Wei selection, let Prince Yanping and Prince Du Guogong go to invigilate the exams, and the remaining candidates will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy."

Well, the emperor asked Mr. Han Ge to be Qiu Wei's examiner, but he didn't let Prince Yanping and Tang Ze serve as invigilators.

The City Patrol Division is now famous for its impartiality. With them in charge of the Qiu Wei exams, the students who come to Beijing to take the exams believe that they can prevent cheating and give them a fair chance to be selected.

……

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the emperor's birthday will be in two days.

The past two days in the previous life were uneventful, but in this life, it would be no exaggeration to say that the past two days were stormy.

It rained all day yesterday and didn't stop until late at night.

When she woke up in the morning, Shen Wan stood by the window and looked at the sky after the rain, which was as blue as white and made everyone feel relaxed and happy.

With such good weather, it would be a shame not to go shopping.

Shen Wan touched her slightly bulging belly, suppressed the thought of going out for shopping, and prepared to go to the garden later.

After Shen Wan washed up, Xie Jingyan went back to the house, and the two of them sat down to have breakfast.

As soon as I picked up the chopsticks, there was a knock on the window.

"Come in."

Chen Feng jumped out of the window and entered the house, and reported to Xie Jingyan, "Sir, it rained yesterday and the Ancestral Temple leaked. The late emperor's tablet was all wet..."

Xie Jingyan frowned.

Shen Wan bit her chopsticks, with some doubts in her eyes.

In the previous life, there was no such thing as rain leaking from the Ancestral Temple.

Although her rebirth changed a lot of things, it did not affect the tiles on the roof of the Ancestral Temple. Shen Wan keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

If she remembers correctly...

The Imperial Ancestral Temple was renovated in the spring of this year, and Xie Jingyin was personally responsible for it.

Before the emperor's birthday, if something like this happened in the Ancestral Temple, it would be regarded as an ominous sign. If the emperor knew about it, Long Yan would definitely be furious.

If something happens to the Ancestral Temple, Xie Jingyin, the person responsible for repairing the Ancestral Temple, must be blamed. The emperor will definitely punish him severely.

Well, as Shen Wan speculated, when the emperor heard that rain was leaking from the Ancestral Temple and the memorial tablet of the late emperor was wet, Long Yan was furious and immediately ordered someone to investigate why the Ancestral Temple was leaking.

In the evening, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were on the observation tower overlooking the palace and the entire Prince Ling's Mansion.

Just as I was watching with great interest, I heard the sound of someone going up the steps.

Chen Feng came up and said, "Sir, the cause of the leakage in the Imperial Ancestral Temple has been found out. It is said that there is a problem with the quality of the tiles used for repair. After the sun exposure, it suddenly rained heavily, causing the tiles to break. When the emperor found out, he called King Jin He went and reprimanded him severely, and the emperor was so angry that he even scolded King Jin with a cane. King Cheng helped him to plead for mercy, saying that if he punished him with a cane, King Jin would lose half his life, and he would not be able to attend the emperor's birthday banquet. , when the time came to humiliate Da Chu in front of the envoys of Xiliang and Donglie, the emperor only slapped the king of Jin twenty times and fined him a year's salary because of King Cheng's plea. "

There is a problem with the quality of the tiles used to repair the Ancestral Temple...

Shen Wan asked, "Who found out that there was something wrong with the tiles on the roof of the Ancestral Temple?"

Chen Feng said, "It was checked by Dali Temple."

It was checked by Dali Temple, so it should be true.

But we were exposed to the sun at the same time, and it rained at the same time. It made no sense that there was no problem in the previous life, but in this life the tiles were cracked and leaking.

Someone has tampered with the tiles.

There is no one else but the eldest prince who would plot against King Jin like this.

It's just that why didn't the eldest prince think of this move in his previous life? His brain has become better in this life?
