With Empress Xiao's acquiescence, the prince immediately disposed of Li Changkun, the servant of Huangmen.

As soon as the order from the East Palace came out, the Xiao family shook up and down.Empress Xiao's elder brother, Shangshu ordered Xiao Youqian to enter the palace urgently to face the saint, but the imperial army blocked him outside the Penglai Pavilion; if he went to the East Palace, he would not even be able to pass through the Shunmen.

Li Changkun's family was in a panic - it wasn't that the husband and wife were parting from each other, but that they were busy moving the gold and silver treasures hidden in the treasury.

When the news reached Emperor Huiming's sick bed, the weak emperor who had been on the throne for 33 years did not say a word, but shook his head slightly.

Qi Yunchu, who was standing by the side, reminded: "Your Majesty, the servant of the Huangmen is an important position, and it really shouldn't be vacant for too long. Please make a decision early."

Emperor Huiming waved his hand slowly: "I'm tired, just settle down."

After leaving the Penglai Pavilion, Lu You followed behind Qi Yunchu, and the two walked along the emerald bamboo path to the servant province.

After walking a hundred or so steps, to a remote and deserted place, Qi Yunchu asked abruptly, "Who will be the next servant of the Yellow Gate?"

Lu You was stunned: "This should be decided by the crown prince?"

"No." Qi Yunchu pointed at Lu You, "You decide."

"Me?" Lu You couldn't believe his ears, "Is the candidate for the fourth-rank Huangmen servant?"

"Why, is it difficult?"

Qi Yunchu looked at him with a half-smile: "In vain, I thought you performed well during this time, and I specially gave you this reward. If it were someone else, I would have already kowtowed to thank you."

Lu You understood that this was Qi Yunchu's intention to praise him, thanked him hastily, and then began to think seriously.

"The servant of the Huangmen needs to go in and out of the Zichen Palace frequently. This way of advancing and retreating should naturally conform to court etiquette; if he can be familiar with the environment in the palace, it would be even better if he knows a lot of clan relatives. In the past dynasties, the sons of important officials in Qili, or the son-in-law The captain is in charge. Now this is the most suitable candidate..."

Having said that, he stopped suddenly, and raised his head to look at Qi Yunchu uneasily. Qi Yunchu said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, just say it directly."

Lu You frowned and said: "But after all, he has just entered the official position, and he is just a candidate. I vaguely remember that even if he is the number one scholar in this dynasty, there is no precedent for awarding the fourth rank right away."

"There really is no such precedent."

Qi Yunchu said bluntly: "Because no son of a foreign relative dared to squeeze into the imperial list with those flat-headed commoners, and he really squeezed a Tanhualang. Including that Li Changkun, they all lived on their skirts. Lu. Therefore, although Tanhua Lang can't be the servant of the Huangmen, Tang Ruilang can."

"This...is not fair." Lu You was still seriously confused.

Qi Yunchu nodded: "It is indeed unfair. But this kind of unfairness, whether Tang Ruilang can't bear it, or others can't take it - you have to distinguish clearly, don't cut off people just because they quarreled with you future."

"Where can I cut off the future of Mr. Tang?" Lu You smiled wryly, "Leaving aside personal grievances, I also believe that he will be a good choice. But after all, my experience is shallow, whether I use it or not, I'd like to ask you to decide. .”

In this way, when the official department's Spring Pass Examination 1 had just passed, and all the new scholars were still anxiously waiting for their appointment, Tang Ruilang put on a scarlet round-neck robe and a whitebait bag.

Regarding this perhaps the most eye-catching appointment this year, Emperor Huiming still did not have any clear attitude.But he was not disgusted, and he should even like Tang Ruilang quite a bit - Lu You can still be sure of this.

The Crown Prince of the East Palace obviously had some trade-offs, or simply accepted certain exchange conditions, so he nodded and agreed.

Needless to say, the power of the Tang family in the imperial court, everyone was rejoicing, except that there was no banquet to celebrate.

As for Lu You, although he kept avoiding Tang Ruilang, he pricked up his ears unknowingly, asking for all kinds of news about him.

Among the peaceful schools, only the Xiao family was in misery.It is said that Shang Shuling smashed the jade bowl of Hendu awarded to him by the emperor in his study.There are also many fools who have already joined the Tang family.

But soon, another major incident broke out in the capital, which completely attracted the attention of the government and the public in an instant.

The Sansi Chamber caught fire in the middle of the night.Stored in the physical evidence warehouse, all the playbooks and precious physical evidence preserved by Yu Cheng, the imperial censor, were all burned!

Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that there must be something strange about this matter.However, the documents and evidence were destroyed, and those criminal evidences that were too late to be recorded were also wiped out. It would be even more difficult to catch the culprit.

At the court meeting the next day, the prince was naturally furious when he learned of this, and ordered the guards to be severely punished for dereliction of duty, and additional manpower was sent to hunt down the arson suspects.

However, not surprisingly, what happened next was naturally nothing, and there was no news at all.

Although Lu You was in the inner court, he also saw all the chaos in the outer court.This fire also confirmed one of his previous thoughts——

The chronic illness in the imperial court has been serious for a long time.The prince is no match for two fists and four hands. If he continues to act like a chariot, he may cause trouble to his upper body.

In order for a worm to turn into a butterfly, it must pupate into a cocoon.However, this period of feathering and transformation is also the time when it is most vulnerable.

But at present, if the prince wants to become the real dragon emperor, he may have to go through a lot of storms before ascending the throne.I don't know if he can get through it safely...

To be honest, Lu You had no likes or dislikes towards the prince, but he still couldn't help but feel faintly worried about him.

After all, Guo Zuo of the Great Ning Dynasty can withstand the wind and rain a few times.

In the blink of an eye, many days passed, and the arson case of the Sansi Assembly Hall was still pending.Inadvertently, the "spring search" of the year is just around the corner.

Different from other red tapes in the palace, the prince has always liked "spring search".Because it is not just a royal ceremony, but more like an exciting and interesting adult game.

The reason why it is called a "ceremony" is that every spring slack season, the emperor will symbolically remove the infested animals in the fields of Daning in the form of hunting, in order to pray for smooth farming and a good harvest throughout the year.

However, in the eyes of the prince, this year's "spring search" is not just a simple sacrifice or hunting, but also a great opportunity to vent pressure and go out to relax.

Because Emperor Huiming was unwell, he was naturally unable to attend this year's "Spring Search" in person.The prince led a mighty team composed of Feilongwei, maids, civil servants and generals, chose an auspicious day, and went out to the capital in mighty way.

This "spring search" lasted for five days.Starting from Linshui near Zhaojing, they hunted all the way.There are three palaces passing by, including Liuquan Palace.

Zhao Yun chose to go to Liuquan Palace, in fact, he also had some considerations-Liuquan City was originally the hometown of the emperor's best benevolence, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs.However, after last year's ghost army witch doctor incident, the people in the city were panicked, all the shops were moved, the medicine fields were abandoned, and people's livelihood was in decline.Even Liuquan Li Palace's daily food purchases have become a problem.

Zhao Yun can not care about the life and death of the people in Liuquan City, but Liuquan Palace has always been the place where the clan's children recuperate, and there is also a Duanwang Zhao Qing who lives there for many years.So under Jiang Qiguang's suggestion, this decision was made.

The presence of Prince Jian Guo, must also boost the morale of the city.

As a servant and junior supervisor, Lu You was naturally included in the "Spring Search" team.For several days after learning of this incident, he has been in a secretly distressed mood.

What he is worried about is not the archery that has been abandoned for a long time, but Tang Ruilang, the servant of the Huangmen who has just taken office, is also in the hunting team.

The author has something to say:

①Chunguan Trial: Hey, did you explain it before?It's almost like a civil service exam.

I forgot to mention it just now, so I hasten to add: Xilang on the title is another name for the servant of Huangmen.Because the servant of the Yellow Gate was forbidden to enter and leave the palace during the day, he had to worship in front of the palace gate in the direction of the emperor when he got off work in the evening.So as soon as I saw the servant of Huangmen saluting after get off work, I knew it was evening, so I got the nickname Xilang. The stage of human political excess.

At this stage, although the imperial examination system was relatively complete, civilian officials who were born in the imperial examination could not hold important positions in the court.Power has fallen into the hands of the aristocracy.For now, it is the difference between a politician's family and an official.
