Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

No one in Kyoto is not curious about how important it is to be awarded the No. [-] Scholar in the Palace Examination. The gathered crowd will whisper when they see the No. .

Li Zhiyuan was curious, twittering and guessing all the way, although Xie Xuan's face was serious, he still wanted to know if the number one scholar who came out halfway would not enter the sixth division like his previous life, but went directly to Dali Temple.And at night, when he returned to Li's mansion and saw Li Heng who was full of melancholy, Xie Xuan knew that he had guessed wrong.

During dinner, Li Heng's complexion was not very good. When Xie Xuan and Li Zhiyuan finished eating and went back first, as soon as they went out, they heard Mrs. Li asking Li Heng what happened today.Li Heng replied melancholy: "The new champion has entered the Ministry of Rites."

The number one scholar enters an official position, but if he enters the six departments, his position will not be low, at least he is a servant.But now the Ministry of Rites has two servants. If someone is forced to come in, it can only mean that someone is going to be promoted. Judging from Li Heng's attitude tonight, the one who is promoted is probably that old enemy, Lin Chi.Lin Gap's promotion is not a good thing for Li Heng or Xie Xuan. The two have achieved similar achievements over the years. If it is said that the Holy One has long wanted to arrange this year's No. [-] scholar in the Ministry of Rites, there will be no rumors before , this time the arrangement is abrupt and unreasonable, it can only show that, as in the previous life, Lin Gap once again stood by the second prince's side.

On the second day, Xie Xuan went to Li Mansion quietly.It's also fate, he and Li Yong, one civil and one martial arts, would not have any intersection at all, the previous few meetings were just matchmaking by Lu Tan, but after Lu Tan left, the two exchanged news and became familiar with each other.Especially because Xie Xuan hadn't stepped into the gate of the Golden Palace yet, so although he could follow Su Wanling to hear some of this situation, he learned more from Li Yong.

"You haven't been out of the house for more than a month, and even Mingde Square sent me a letter, asking me to look after it, why did you come here today?" Li Yong poured tea for Xie Xuan.

"I want to find out the news of the imperial court, so why don't I come here?" Xie Xuan smiled, "I heard that the new top scholar has entered the Ministry of Rites, but there was no news at all before. The most popular thing in Zhuangzi is the Ministry of Officials. A few days ago, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Zhou Wenli Master Zhou just resigned and returned to his hometown? No one has been filled in for so long, I thought it was the emperor's attention and planned to keep this lady to wait for the champion, but unexpectedly entered the Ministry of Rites."

"You are well-informed. You did enter the Ministry of Rites. Why do you regret it? If you hadn't missed Chunwei a few days ago, you could also enter the Ministry of Rites and work with your good uncle on an equal footing." Li Yong teased.

"What do you regret doing? Don't say that you are a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Even if you give me a minister, I don't regret it. But brother Li, don't you think it's strange? Why is Duan Duan the Ministry of Rites? Zhang Shu of the Ministry of Rites is in good health. You can't fault the style of the year."

"He has strong bones? You don't know?" Li Yong asked in amazement.

"what do you know?"

"Zhang Xiangui died suddenly three days before the imperial examination. He died on the bed of his concubine. There were so many gossip in Beijing. Maybe you have been worrying about your brother's illness all day long, so you don't know anything about it."

"Sudden death, how could it be such a coincidence?" Xie Xuan was puzzled, Zhang Xiangui was not old, and he usually drank a few sips of wine. Even if he was powerless about some things, he would not die like that.

"Coincidentally, I don't know. Anyway, there was a vacancy suddenly in these six parts, so I naturally let someone in. Speaking of which, I'm not worth it for your uncle. Li Shilang is in the middle of the gap in terms of talent, character, and ability." It’s just that I was a little unlucky, and Lin Gap snatched such an opportunity. If I want to be promoted in the future, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait.” Li Yong was filled with emotions. Li Zhiyuan made friends well, and it happened that his younger brother married into the palace to be the princess, so he loved Li Zhiyuan as his younger brother. Selfishly speaking, Li Yong was more inclined to Li Heng.

"It's not bad luck. Luck is God's will. I'm afraid it's man-made that Lin Gap can go up." Xie Xuan sighed.

"Why?"

"Brother Li, have you ever thought that when Ninghou's family was murdered, no matter how we track it down, the evidence can only go to Zijunhou, so someone must have tampered with it, but who is this person and why did he do it? Solution. The enmity between Zi Junhou and Ninghou’s family is not a matter of one day, but several generations. Why didn’t the generations think of framing Ninghou’s mansion like this, but they thought of it when they came to Xiaoqian. Such a complicated setup It turned out to be a success. Everyone in the capital knows that Zi Junhou’s family is famous for their bravery and intrepidity. I’m afraid Xiao Qian did it for others. Let’s think boldly. Why? There have been no major incidents in the past few years, so Marquis Ning has no reason to die, unless someone hates him so much that he can't wait for a moment, and this person is the bond between the two Xiao families."

Li Yong was shocked after hearing Xie Xuan's words: "You mean that the forest gap is the link?"

"Ninghou is a man, and Brother Li knows that he can advance and retreat in the court, and he is never aggressive; he is easy to talk in private, and Beijing Zhongfeng has a very good reputation. Except Zi Junhou, almost no one is dissatisfied with him. But back then, Lin Chi's only son was absolutely true. It was killed by Lu Tan by mistake. I saw it and kept it secret, but I was not the only one who saw it. Lin Chi's nephew probably knew about it. I can’t talk about it face to face, but after all, the whole family, I’m afraid Lin Gap already knew about it in private.”

"If it is true as you said, then Zhang Xiangui's death was not an accident, but a deliberate one." Li Yong thought for a while, "Tomorrow is the day Zhang Xiangui will be buried. I have a chance to take a look at Zhang Xiangui. I will go to the Zhang Mansion to find out if there is anything unusual."

"That's the best way." Xie Xuan sipped his tea. It was certain that there was something wrong with Lin Gap, but he couldn't tell Li Yong directly. After all, such things as rebirth were more suitable for a storyteller.

"It's a pity that my younger brother married into the palace. He is familiar with poison. If he is here, he will be able to see at a glance whether there is something wrong with Zhang Xiangui's death." Li Yong sighed slightly.

"Speaking of which, the Crown Princess has been in the palace for some time, how can I get along well with the Crown Prince?"

"Successful? Hmph, my younger brother entered the palace with the front foot, and the prince even married two side concubines in the rear foot. Do you think it is satisfactory? Pity my brother for being so sincere, and there is no one to take care of him in the palace. If it weren't for... how could I They are not willing to let him enter the palace." Li Yong was very melancholy when he mentioned his younger brother.

"An elder brother is like a father. I can understand that brother Li loves his younger brother. Now it's a done deal. I only hope that the prince will understand one day."

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite, if you talk about Xie Xuan's most difficult sutra to recite now, it is that Li Zhiyuan is about to take the provincial examination.Li Zhiyuan's reading is like a half-can of water.Ever since Xie Xuan became a student with Su Wanling and had to worry about Mingde Square, Li Zhiyuan became a wild horse at Luming Academy.When the academy was divided into classes based on grades, Li Zhiyuan fell from class A to class B, and later even fell to class E. He didn't tell anyone about the change of class. If it wasn't for Xie Xuan who sent him off one day Li Zhiyuan went back and had a chat with his master, but everyone was kept in the dark.On the same day, Li Zhiyuan was carried by Xie Xuan to silently read in the study.No matter how Li Zhiyuan acted coquettishly to please him, or pretended to be angry, Xie Xuan remained unmoved. After two months of persistence, Li Zhiyuan was able to return to the second class.From then on, Xie Xuan discovered that Li Zhiyuan had to be watched by someone while studying, otherwise he would become lazy.

A few days ago when he had smallpox, Li Zhiyuan didn't want to read books, Xie Xuan didn't dare and was reluctant to force him, but now that the last scab on Li Zhiyuan's body has fallen off, and his body is white and tender again, Xie Xuan is willing to do so.Wake Li Zhiyuan up from bed early in the morning and let him read in the morning, and he will not be given breakfast until he finishes reading a poem written by his ancestors.When he went to Mingdefang by himself, he also took Li Zhiyuan with him. Xie Xuan asked people to clean up a secluded small room in the backyard of Mingdefang. In addition to books, there were only pens, ink, paper and inkstone in it. It was tailor-made for Li Zhiyuan.

At first Li Zhiyuan wanted to cheat and play tricks, so he coughed a few times to make Xie Xuan worry about it, and he didn't study for a while, but now Xie Xuan didn't like it at all.It not only increased his schoolwork, but also reduced his snacks. There was a daily quota for snacks, and he would not eat until he finished reading.Li Zhiyuan was so angry that he threatened to sever brotherhood with Xie Xuan.When I went back to my room at night, I didn't give Xie Xuan any good looks.

"Who allowed you to enter my room? I have to study at night. You have affected me here. If you fail the provincial examination, you will be responsible?" Li Zhiyuan hid his snacks the moment Xie Xuan walked in. , pretending to hold a book in one hand.

"Well, I'm in charge." Xie Xuan didn't expose him and let him perform.

"Can you take responsibility? Go back to your wing and sleep by yourself. That's the room my father reserved for you. You haven't been here for a few years, wasting his effort."

"It's been too long since I cleaned it up. It smells musty." Xie Xuan took off his clothes and went to bed with only his underwear left.

"Who allowed you to go to bed? Go back to your other courtyard, where people clean up and ventilate all the year round."

"It's rented. The business in Mingdefang is not good, and I have no money to pay the rent, so I can't afford to live there." Xie Xuan was already lying down while speaking.

"You liar. I already knew that you bought it, you liar." Li Zhiyuan was annoyed, looked at Xie Xuan who had closed his eyes, and finally blew out the candle angrily, "I'll let you sleep for the last night Night."
