The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

The Prince of Wei, who was missed by Lin Yuzhong, was now trapped in the Prince of Wei's Mansion and could not leave. He looked extremely irritable.

Especially when he learned that Emperor Rong'an had handed over the welcoming envoy to King Xuan, he was so angry that a big blister appeared on his mouth.

It's really like when it rains it pours. Why is everything going wrong for him lately?

When the King of Wei thought of Ying Shuo replacing the King of Fu as the welcoming envoy, he couldn't help getting angry.

Why is it Ying Shuo!

On what basis did he win against Shuo?

He was the one who inspected the salt industry and handled many important affairs of the court.

He has made so many contributions, but his father just turns a blind eye to them!

Instead, he was put under house arrest for just a small matter!

They even sent people to humiliate him!

Now, a useless person who can only be respected by relying on his mother's favor is appointed as the welcoming envoy.

What on earth does Ying Shuo have the power to do this?

The King of Wei was so angry that he punched the desk, and the desk, which was about as thick as a finger, trembled.

After being angry, the King of Wei gradually calmed down.

He is under house arrest now, so nothing else matters.

The most important thing is when will the emperor calm down and lift his house arrest.

There are not many days left before the Tubo King comes to Beijing, and even the imperial examination is imminent!

When the King of Wei thought about this, he immediately focused on how to lift the ban on himself.

He calmed down, concentrated, held his breath, and began to write the memorial.

He could probably guess why his father was angry and confined him to his room.

As long as he admitted his mistake sincerely and his father calmed down sooner, the house arrest issue would be resolved.

Besides, his uncle and mother will definitely help him.

-

The King of Wei was right.

Xie Ji and Concubine Chen were indeed pleading for the King of Wei.

Xie Ji is now second only to the emperor in the officialdom.

Emperor Rong An always listens to what he says.

But today, when he met Emperor Rong'an and mentioned the word King of Wei, he saw Emperor Rong'an's eyes piercing him like a sharp sword.

Xie Ji's heart suddenly trembled and he stopped talking in time.

The topic naturally turned to this year's imperial examination.

The chief examiner for the imperial examination has not yet been decided, and Emperor Rong An has several candidates in mind.

Xie Ji mentioned the eldest son of Grand Tutor Wen subtly.

Nowadays, official positions have changed, so it is not impossible to be the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

Emperor Rong An denied it without even raising his head.

"Wen Taiyu can't."

Xie Ji was stunned. It was rare for Emperor Rong'an to reject him so decisively.

I didn't react for a moment.

After reading the memorial in his hand, Emperor Rong An raised his head slightly and glanced at Xie Ji.

"The chief examiner must be a Jinshi, have you forgotten, Prime Minister Xie?"

Xie Ji quickly bowed his hands and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty is wise, it was me who was confused for a moment."

Emperor Rong'an looked indifferent, as if he didn't take Xie Ji's mistake to heart, and instead mentioned a few people he had his eyes on.

The first is Yan Rui from the Yan family, who is one of the Three Dukes. Not only is he a Jinshi, but he has also been promoted step by step from the Hanlin Academy. He is just the right person.

Xie Ji's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, Yan Rui!

The Yan family has a long history of scholarly tradition and has produced several generations of great scholars. It can be said that all scholars in the world know the Yan family.

If Yan Rui were to be the chief examiner of this imperial examination, not only would it be legitimate, but all the students taking the examination would have to call Yan Rui "teacher".

When Xie Ji thought of this, he felt a little unhappy.

Yan Rui has a good reputation as an official and enjoys a very high prestige among scholars.

Xie Jidi wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but his instinct as an official for many years made him hold back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The next moment, Emperor Rong An said, "It's just that the boy from the Jiang family is going to be eliminated this year. If Yan Rui is chosen, it would be unfair."

When Xie Ji heard what Emperor Rong'an said, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Rong'an mentioned another person, Ming Sihai of the Ming family, who is now the governor.

Xie Ji followed with a smile: "Your Majesty just said that Master Yan should avoid suspicion, isn't Master Ming even more so."

Everyone knows that Jiang Tiyu is about to marry Ming Sihai's daughter.

Emperor Rong An also laughed: "So I still have one last candidate."

Xie Ji nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I am all ears."

Emperor Rong An cast a dim gaze on Xie Ji and said with a smile, "My dear, isn't he the most suitable candidate?"

Emperor Rong An threw out a sentence lightly, which exploded in Xie Ji's mind.

He immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot do this."

"You are a Jinshi and the prime minister of the dynasty, so why not?"

Emperor Rong An seemed very sure that he could do it: "I think you are very suitable."

Xie Ji tried his best to control his pounding heart and said calmly, "It is precisely because I am the prime minister that I cannot do this."

"Your Majesty has chosen Master Yan and Master Ming, who are both knowledgeable and highly respected among the students."

"My lord, I am far from that."

Xie Ji knew Emperor Rong An very well. If he had made up his mind, it would be difficult for others to shake him.

Now that Emperor Rong'an intends to appoint him as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, he is of course tempted.

However, the reason why the two people mentioned by Emperor Rong An could not serve as examiners was actually Jiang Tiyu.

Of course Xie Ji had to decline.

With Emperor Rong An's personality, even if he refuses...

"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you."

This time, Emperor Rong'an broke with his usual attitude and directly agreed to Xie Ji's wish not to be the chief examiner.

Xie Ji couldn't hide his astonishment, if Emperor Rong An hadn't already lowered his head to read the memorial.

I am afraid that Xie Ji’s misconduct will be seen by Emperor Rong’an.

Fortunately, Xie Ji's reaction ability was fast enough. He quickly hid his emotions and mentioned a few people who were not important.

Emperor Rong An rejected them one by one, "Forget it, these few people are fine to be deputy examiners."

"I need to consider the selection of examiner again."

Since Emperor Rong'an said so, Xie Ji could only stop talking and not mention it again.

Xie Ji now had no reason to stay in Wenhe Hall, so he had to bid farewell to Emperor Rong'an.

After leaving Wenhe Hall, Xie Ji felt heavy in his heart.

Your Majesty is now unwilling to even hear him mention the King of Wei.

It is clear that in the incident of burning Prince Xuan's palace, His Majesty determined that it was the Prince of Wei who was responsible, and he was furious about it.

Xie Ji looked towards the direction of Concubine Chen's palace, hoping that nothing would go wrong this time.

Otherwise, King Wei’s situation would be really dangerous.

It would be bad to wait for the Tubo King to come. The imperial examination is about to begin, but the King of Wei is still under house arrest, right?

If this gets out, how will the King of Wei save his face?

Xie Ji looked unhappy from the moment he left the palace until he returned home.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son rushed into his study in a panic, saying that there was a problem at the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

Someone stole the account book that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce presented to the capital and ran away!

Xie Ji's expression changed immediately.

Xie Lang swore that he had never seen his father look so ugly in his life.

"Are all those people from Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce idiots?"

"I can't even catch a single person!"

Xie Lang looked at his father's cannibalistic look and said tremblingly, "It's not that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to arrest people."

"Instead, the Duke of Ying and the Duke of Lu blatantly brought their people to live in the home of the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and personally watched him."

Xie Ji almost vomited blood, Jiang Mao!

you again!
