Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

Is this the case you investigated? ! "

There is no doubt that Zhang Tinglu is one of the main envoys in this case, but if Shui Zhan believes that Zhang Tinglu has the ability to reach into the palace, he does not believe it. Zhang Tinglu is not a mere Zhang Tinglu in this palace. Then, Who else is behind Zhang Tinglu?Is it the court lady eunuch or the prince and prince?Zhang Tinglu deserves to die, but he is definitely not the mastermind behind this case. Zhang Tingyu wants Zhang Tinglu to bear all the blame alone. Is he covering up the culprit or has other concerns?

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, yes!" Zhang Tingyu said firmly, this matter is too involved, involving the third prince and the eighth prince, if it is involved, it will be very involved, and it may shake the foundation. It is best for Zhang Tinglu to bear the blame alone. the result.

Shui Zhan was furious when he heard the words. He thought that Zhang Tingyu was a capable minister, and he personally hired this errand to find out the truth of the case, but unexpectedly, he was so perfunctory and wanted to send Zhang Tingyu immediately.

Yucun saw that this was not good, and knew Zhang Tingyu's scruples, so he quickly persuaded: "The Holy One calm down, maybe there is something hidden in this, why don't you let Mr. Zhang talk about it!"

When Zhang Tingyu saw Yucun pleading for mercy, he knew that there was still room for negotiation on this matter. As long as the Holy Master understood this case, it would be fine to tell the truth to the outside world, so he took out another memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Shui Zhan, saying: "Please ask the emperor to judge!"

Shui Zhan took the memorial, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he was, he threw the memorial to the ground and cursed: "My good son, my good brother!"

Saying this, he covered his mouth and coughed violently. Yucun quickly stepped forward to support Shui Zhan, patted his back and handed him tea. He knew that there would be no good results if this matter was found out. He doesn't want Shui Zhan to investigate this matter, but he knows too well Shui Zhan's character of never giving up until he achieves his goal. It seems that it's time to deal with the court with ruthless hands!

Shui Zhan held Yu Cun's hand tightly, as if grasping the last piece of driftwood, and said, "I know that in this court, although there is the Supreme Emperor on top, there are some people who expect me to make a fool of myself. It’s good to make a big scandal, and make a big mess, the bigger the mess, the more hope they can fish in troubled waters and get some benefits! But I won’t let them do what they want!”

Shui Zhan kept the word "forbearance" given to Shui Zhan by the Supreme Emperor back then. Now that he is the emperor, he also hangs it on the wall of Qianqing Palace. It has been deeply imprinted on Shui Zhan after decades. In his heart, he was reminded all the time that the court is not peaceful now!

In the end, the imperial examination fraud case of the Yongzheng Dynasty was settled by the chief examiner Zhang Tinglu and an official who interfered in the case.

The major imperial examinations in the imperial court and the minor examinations for the selection of women in the palace are both family affairs, and they are all major events.On this day, Shui Zhan's biological mother, concubine De of the X Dynasty, and now the Empress Dowager presided over the draft ceremony of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and selected 270 beautiful girls from among the girls of the ministers of the court. On this day, Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, took flowers The roster arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

"Long Live Lord, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has selected 270 beautiful girls for you, and all of them are waiting for you to choose in the palace today! The Empress Dowager asked the servants to come and ask, does Long Live Lord move over to have a look?" Li Dequan said to Shui Zhan Dao, looking at Yucun next to him who was dealing with official business, he secretly slapped himself in his heart, annoyed himself for choosing such a time to come!

At the same time, Shui Zhan also took a look at Yucun, and saw that there was no fear on his face, so he said to Li Dequan, "Oh? Father, did you see it?"

Li Dequan heard the words and quickly replied: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the Supreme Emperor selected two of the third-class beautiful women to serve poetry and books and promised to be there always."

Shui Zhan nodded when he heard the words, and asked the queen mother if she had chosen.Li Dequan only replied that the Queen Mother said that there are enough people around her, and there is no need to add more.

"Then let the other princes and princes choose. I have other things to do here, so I don't have time to go!" Shui Zhan said to Li Dequan while reviewing the memorial.

Li Dequan heard that Shui Zhan would not go, and then looked at Yucun, who was dealing with official business, as if he hadn't heard it, and knew the reason, so he didn't persuade him much, and went to ask the princes and princes not to mention it according to Shui Zhan's words.

"You have found a good excuse!" Yucun said with a smile to Shui Zhan.

"What's an excuse? It's my kindness!" Shui Zhan said, holding Yucun's waist from behind.

It turns out that Shui Zhan has been dealing with political affairs, and completely forgot about the fact that a group of beautiful women are waiting for selection in the Queen Mother's Palace. At dinner time, Shui Zhan went to the Queen Mother's bedroom to pay her respects, but heard a beautiful woman yelling loudly at the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace. Shui Zhan was furious when he heard this, and wanted to punish him with the crime of disturbing the court, but unexpectedly, the maid told the suffering of a woman who entered the palace. She had parents but could not serve her. I can’t see my relatives anymore. There are thousands of maids entering the palace, but only a few of them really get the favor of the Holy One. After entering the palace, the maids can’t reunite with their relatives even if their hair is gray, let alone get married and start a family!

Shui Zhan felt sad when he heard the words, and happened to think of the fact that the Queen Mother always urged him to enrich the harem, so he changed his mind and said that anyone who has served in the palace for more than ten years, or who is over 25 years old, together with this time The draft girls, except for those who are indispensable in the palace of the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, are all released from the palace and married on their own, and the three-year draft girls are abolished, and it will be said when the next draft girls are needed.

"There aren't many political affairs these days, how about going out for a walk together?" Seeing that Shui Zhan was in a good mood, Yucun suggested.

Thanks to Yucun's efforts, Shui Zhan has made great reforms to the method of court affairs. The office efficiency has been improved a lot, and Shui Zhan has more rest time.The courtiers’ memorials are all issued by the imperial court. The uniform format is printed on the memorials. The department, the name of the respondent, the position, what is being played, the process of the incident, the result, and the way of handling it. The most terrible thing is that the memorials are printed one by one. Fang Gezi, you are not allowed to write two memorials for one matter. If you really can’t finish writing, you need to apply to Shangfeng, which greatly limits the length of the memorial. Obviously less, of course, there is also the whole article that is used to flattering people, whitewashing the peace, and the last sentence is about what to play. !”, was sent home to farm, and since then no one has dared to say one more word or one less word in the memorial.

"Okay!" Shui Zhan readily agreed. Going out for a walk meant that the two of them would spend more time alone. Speaking of which, Shui Zhan was willing to go out with Yucun for a private visit, but he didn't have time before.

On the second day, Yucun and Shui Zhan went to the street in white dragon fish suits. After strolling for a while, they saw a circle of people in front of the teahouse in front of them. Only then did I realize that there was a great monk from Nanjing who set up a chess game in front of him. He boasted that he would definitely beat all the masters in the capital, and he placed a big bet of one hundred taels per game. Not to mention, this master really has a lot of skills. After setting up the arena for the past few days, he really hasn't met an opponent. Isn't this a scholar who went in over his own strength? Two people played chess in the teahouse, and there was a big chessboard hanging outside. The waiter in the teahouse added pieces to the chessboard, and drew the situation of the chess game on it.

This chess game has reached the final stage, the situation is stalemate, and it is difficult to tell the winner, but Yucun can still see at a glance that the person holding the white chess is better, and he is about to win.However, Yucun took a brief look at the black chess technique and was familiar with it. He suddenly remembered an old friend from the Gourd Temple, so he took Shui Zhan upstairs to ask for it in the room next to the chess-playing monk's box. A pot of tea.

Sure enough, after a while, the door next to him was opened with a creak, and he left downstairs with brisk steps. Yucun smiled mysteriously at Shui Zhan and said, "Aren't you curious about what I'm doing here? Come on, let's go together." Meet that great monk."

After speaking, the two entered the box next to it. Before entering the door, Yucun smiled and said to the great monk: "How can you be unruly, how much you have lost!"

The great monk had just lost 200 taels of silver, and he was depressed. When he heard footsteps coming from the door, he was wondering who was so indifferent to challenge him at this time. He just happened to find someone to vent out the frustration just now. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw a remarkable person.

"Why is it you! Jia Hua, you are also here to play chess with me?" the monk said as if he didn't see Shui Zhan.

"So what?" Yucun said with a smile.

The great monk scratched his head, feeling addicted to chess, squeezed his empty purse again, and said, "If it's not counting as a bet, Sajia will bet with you!"

Yu Cun shook his head and said, "It's not going to happen today, let's talk about it another day! Wujie, why did you come to the capital, where is the abbot?"

Unruly people are not careless, otherwise they would not be able to play this good chess move, and gave up their seats to Yucun and Shui Zhan. This is why the little novice in the gourd temple accidentally caught fire a few years ago, and the The Gourd Temple was completely burned down, and even the house of Mr. Zhen, the neighbor next door, was destroyed. Fortunately, there were no casualties. There were not many monks in the Gourd Temple, so there were many young monks. Even more vulgar, there are even fewer people.

Because there was no temple to stay in, the abbot led the remaining brothers and sisters to a nearby temple for a temporary stay, but the temple was someone else's temple after all, so it was okay to stay temporarily, and the brothers and sisters didn't want to stay here In that monastery, he became a monk and returned to illusion
