Not long after the allies came to the DPRK, a scandal broke out between the DPRK and China.

Xu Changzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has taken advantage of his official position to buy and sell test questions and accept bribes since he served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Throughout the years of Chunwei, this year is actually the fairest.

This year because Xu Changzong's son Xu Ziya participated in Chunwei, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Changzong was excluded from the list of examiners, and he was also unable to participate in this year's exam questions, so naturally he didn't know it at all.

In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xu Ci entered the prison wearing a black cloak and a black hat.

Xu Ci had specifically told Gongsun Yu that Xu Changzong had not been tortured, and the environment of the dungeon he was in was not bad.

Xu's mansion was seized, and his good wives, Mrs. Lin and Xu Ziying, never came to visit him.

Unwelcome Mrs. Zhao and the pair of twins also came to the prison to give themselves quilts and clothes, and promised to take care of their elderly mother all the time.

He once asked about Lin's movements, but Zhao hesitated for a long time before replying that Lin had packed up a bunch of belongings and took Xu Ziying away.

He asked Yang Shi again, but Zhao Shi hesitated for a long time before saying that Yang Shi had also left.

As for Xu Ziya, since he resigned from office a month ago and went south, there has been no news about him, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

He was not surprised that Yang Shi left, and he had not treated her kindly in these years, so it was reasonable for her to leave.

But even Mrs. Lin is gone...

Hehe, it's true that the husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.It was a waste of years for me to treat you mother and son kindly. When things come to an end, you run away separately, which is really chilling.

Xu Ci, on the other hand, had secretly reminded himself that Fei Dang wanted to get rid of him.

But he was too conceited, never believed that Fei Yuanzheng would abandon himself, so he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, in the past few days, the royal doctor of the Fei party impeached him in public.

Xu Ci was a popular person beside His Royal Highness, and when the head of the prison saw Xu Ci coming, he immediately led the way graciously.

The two stopped when they reached a well-ventilated and well-lit cell.

No matter what Xu Changzong said, he was also Xu Ci's biological father. The prison chief also knew about it. Xu Ci held the crown prince token and wanted to have a private interview with Xu Changzong, so he naturally couldn't say anything.

The prison head opened the cell door, cupped his fists and left.

Because Xu Changzong was very cooperative during the confession process, the prison chief was not worried about him escaping.Besides, this prison is tightly guarded, how can he escape as a civil servant?Getting caught will only make the crime worse. Xu Changzong is a smart man, so he will never do this.

Seeing the head of the prison walking away, Xu Ci opened the door and entered.

Xu Changzong saw Xu Ci as soon as he turned into the corridor. It was not until Xu Ci walked in and the head of the prison left that he quickly got up to meet him, "Ci'er, you are finally here!"

Xu Ci nodded with a cold expression.He smiled gently but was extremely alienated, "Has Madam Xu ever visited Master Xu?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xu Changzong was extremely embarrassed.

He had already parted ways with the Wang family. When he was in Xu's mansion, he treated their mother and son like that, and he had already lost the qualification to recognize Xu Ci as his son.

"Never, but Mrs. Zhao and the two twins came to see me." Xu Changzong smiled wryly, wondering how many stupid things he had done these years.

Xu Ci nodded, "Then Mr. Xu should know now, who is the real person who can grow old?"

Having been taught a lesson by his own son, Xu Changzong would have been angry long ago, but now he just shook his head and smiled wryly, "So what if I know, I am now a prisoner, and I have long lost my former glory."

"His Royal Highness thinks that you are my biological father after all, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that you have taken the blame for others. His Royal Highness is aware of the situation and has pleaded for His Excellency many times in front of His Majesty. Now His Majesty has let go. , will be sentenced lightly."

Although a small number of people bought and sold the test questions, their influence was really bad, causing quite a disturbance in the court.

It is impossible for the people involved to be only Xu Changzong and a few small officials from the Ministry of Rites, there should be others.

There must be other people who bought and sold test questions that have not been caught.

Xu Changzong was silent for a long time, and when Xu Ci saw this, he said persistently: "You used to use the Lin family to please Prince Gong, and you were willing to give up the big and the small, but now you have a wolf-hearted person like the Lin family by your side. You still plan to protect you now. The person who pushed out to take the blame, did he put himself in for nothing?"

"Is it worth it? If you do this, no one will thank you, no one will say hello to you, they will just call you stupid behind your back! There will only be a handful of you left in the history of Dayao Kingdom The pen disturbs Chao Gang."

Xu Ci's words did reach Xu Changzong's heart, but he still had some scruples. After all, Fei Yuanzheng was so powerful that he always wanted to leave a way out for himself.

Once he bit him, his fate would be worse than death.

Although he was a little moved, he was still uneasy.

"If you are afraid of a certain person, then you should drag out all the people below. I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to ask His Majesty to change your place of exile to Beiguan. Beiguan is the territory of Gongsun Tuo and His Highness the Crown Prince. , Fei Yuanzheng is incapable of doppelgangering, and he absolutely dare not hurt you in Beiguan."

"Although the weather in Beiguan is harsh, the folk customs are simple. There is no war now. Although it is not as luxurious as Kyoto, it cannot be a good place to take refuge and live in seclusion."

After Xu Ci finished speaking, Xu Changzong no longer had any worries.

……

Fei Yuanzheng was particularly irritable these days. Although he wanted to deal with Xu Changzong's matter, he was delayed for a few days as soon as the matter of Allies came to court was delayed.

Before Fei Yuanzheng could do this in the future, the people on his side actually took action before him.

At first, he thought it was the imperial censor who was watching his words and watching his demeanor, helping him to relieve his worries.

Unexpectedly, the development of the matter turned out to be out of control.

Later, he checked and found out that the Yushi doctor was not the person he Fei Yuanzheng!

On the surface, he is his own person, but in fact he has already been used by the prince.This man wanted to disturb the court, so he lit this fire!

Naturally, he would not be involved in this troubled water, but he did not expect that Xu Changzong actually had a ledger in his hand, which recorded the participants and every transaction over the years.

When Xu Changzong followed him, he obeyed.

At that time, he ordered not to keep the handle, but Xu Changzong still kept it.

Xu Changzong bit out one person after another in the prison, and he also bit into his favorite minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But he also knew how to measure, he only bit these people, but he didn't tear himself out.

Fei Yuanzheng has been an official for decades, but he actually stumbled in his hands. He was so angry these two days that he simply took sick leave to recuperate at home.

If the Ministry of Rites is like this, it can't be asked, and it's simply out of sight.

More than ten days later, everything that should be tried, investigated, and dealt with should be dealt with. Xu Changzong's punishment was as promised by Xu Ci.

After consideration, the Minister of Rites was appointed by the eccentric Honglu Qing Zhou Guang.

Zhou Guang was over 50 years old at the time, and he was the champion of the new discipline in his early years.

He was upright and upright, he was not bought by others, and he never formed a clique, so he was squeezed out and stayed in Honglu Temple for more than [-] years.

Now that there is no one in the Ministry of Rites, this person was elected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

……

Xu Changzong walked out of the city gate with his luggage on his back. He thought he was alone on this journey, but he didn't expect to walk a section of the official road, and saw Xu's mother, Mrs. Zhao, the twins, and Xu Ci who had been waiting for a long time at the Changting.

Xu Ci knew that Xu's mother would definitely follow, Xu's mother was old, and she had always treated his mother and son well when she was in Xu's mansion.

He couldn't bear his mother's hard journey, so he prepared a carriage for her.

Looking at his relatives waiting there, Xu Changzong's eyes were suddenly sour, and tears flowed out.

Xu's mother felt sorry for her son, and went to comfort and hug her son for a long time.

The officers and soldiers escorting the prisoner were a little annoyed, but they didn't dare to say anything when Xu Xianma was there.

After the few people hugged enough, Xu Ci stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Master Xu, after you go, you will never have the chance to return to Beijing, but what regrets do you have?"

Thinking of something, Xu Changzong sneered, "It's just a pity that Mrs. Lin has no chance to go with me. If Xu Xianma can meet my wife, daughter and son, please send them to reunite with me."

Xu Ci understood the meaning of his words, his eyes flickered, and he smiled loudly, "Master Xu is entrusted before leaving, Xu Ci will do his best to fulfill for him."

The figures of several people turned out to be getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the distance.

Only then did Xu Ci look away, deeply moved in his heart.

In the previous life, I became a prisoner and was spurned and hated by countless people.

When he came here, he was stopped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to see him off.

At that time, all kinds of scenes seemed to have happened yesterday, vividly in my mind.

At that time, he and the prince had various misunderstandings and hurt each other.The nail stuck in the wood, although it can be pulled out, but the marks cannot be removed.

His injury to His Highness the Crown Prince was like a plank nailed full of nails, already devastated.

Now that he was alive again, he vowed not to have any misunderstandings with His Highness the Crown Prince again.

Xu Ci's chest was throbbing, but there was warmth in his heart.

At that time, they turned against each other, but now they are like glue.Haha, it's not in vain for him to be born again.

Xu Ci turned around and mounted his horse, raised his head and strode away.Going back, there will be neither wind nor rain.

……

One month after the case of buying and selling test questions was completed, Dayao Palace received a bronzing dragon pattern invitation card from the Kingdom of Jin.

To be exact, there are two sheets, one is a marriage proposal letter, and the other is an invitation card.

At the same time, General Gongsun's Mansion was surrounded by more than a dozen carriages, and soldiers in Jin Guojia uniforms carried boxes of betrothal gifts inside.

In Gongsun's mansion, the parents of the Gongsun brothers have long since died, and only two brothers, Gongsun Tuo and Gongsun Yu, live together in the mansion.

Gongsun Tuo has fought on the battlefield for years, and although he has always been romantic after returning to Beijing, he doesn't even have a woman to serve him in his family.

Gongsun Yu is now the champion of martial arts, and can already support a family.Besides, there are Xu Ci and His Royal Highness around him to help take care of him. Gongsun Tuo is not worried, so Gongsun Tuo left very freely and at ease.

Now that two months have passed, the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin actually sent an invitation to marry Gongsun Tuowei in one month's time!

Emperor Taikang looked at the two gold and one red documents on the case table, dumbfounded.

"Absurd!" He slapped the table and said angrily, "It's simply absurd! How can there be a proposal document and an invitation together!"

"Ah?! Is it just for show?!"

"The Empress of the Kingdom of Jin is asking to marry the one-and-only general of the Great Yao Kingdom, who is the first-rank general who suppresses the North!"

"She didn't ask me if I would let him go, so she sent the invitation in such a big way?!"

Seeing this, Eunuch Hai, the head of the eunuch, hurriedly comforted Emperor Taikang, "Your Majesty calm down, but don't be so angry. Didn't you also say that you will not let the empress of the Kingdom of Jin come to propose marriage, so she just married That's it."

Emperor Taikang turned his head and glared at Eunuch Hai. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he picked up the teacup and threw it on the ground, "It's really unreasonable! And how did they enter the city?! Ah?!"

Eunuch Hai laughed and said, "Didn't your Highness issue the entry document?"

Emperor Taikang was angry, how could he know that the sentence "coming for marriage" in the reason for the entry document was the case.

He only thinks that the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin wants to marry her younger brother and find a princess of the Great Yao Kingdom.

But he didn't know that it was the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin who wanted to marry his General Zhenbei. If he had known this earlier, he would never have let them enter the customs!
