The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

King Ming came to buy books?Or come and buy it yourself.

For a while, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't guess what the other party's intentions were.

According to King Ming's performance before, even if they meet, they should contact secretly in private instead of making a big fuss like they are now.

Not to mention whether the first prince on his side will suspect, but the second prince on the other side will definitely have an accident after knowing this.

While he was thinking, the clerk in the store had stepped forward with an apologetic face.

"I'm sorry, guest officer, all the books in our store have been sold out."

"Sold out?" The other party raised his tone, looking suspicious.

Seeing that King Ming was well-dressed, the clerk said in a very polite tone, "Yes, sir, it was an unfortunate coincidence for you to come here. There are activities in the shop these two days, and all the books were sold out yesterday."

Although the other party didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, he still stood there with his chest in his arms.

Lu Xiuyuan winked at the clerk next to him to make them retreat first, and then he led Ming Wang to the empty bookcase.

"Look, my lord, all the books are indeed sold out."

The other party followed his footsteps and inspected several rows of empty bookshelves, and then the two of them stopped in tacit understanding on the innermost side.

After stopping for a moment, Lu Xiuyuan saw that the other party had no intention of opening his mouth at all, so he could only open his mouth to test it out.

"My lord is usually busy with your affairs, why do you have time to come to the store to buy books and read them now?"

King Ming twitched his mouth with a half-smile when he heard this: "It's okay, Lu Xiuzhuan will find out soon."

Hearing these words, Lu Xiuyuan was at a loss, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the King Ming's gourd.

The other party had saved him so many times before, and then deliberately showed his face and revealed his identity. He always thought that the other party wanted to win him over, and he was looking for an appropriate time to meet him. What does this mean now?

King Ming left Yan Ruyu swaggeringly after saying that sentence of unclear meaning.

Lu Xiuyuan was left behind, puzzled, but the soldiers came to cover up the water and soil, so he had better adapt to the situation.

Anyway, those around Yan Ruyu have always had their eyeliner, and there is no chance for outsiders to intervene. Even if King Ming acted boldly today, no one here would know that King Ming was here.

Lu Xiuyuan's side blocked the news that day, and just as his heart sank, there was news on the street outside that King Ming liked to read Yan Ruyu's book, but he couldn't get it at the bookstore, and now he is asking for a lot of money to buy a second-hand book.

Well, he blocked the news for nothing.

Now many people in the capital outside know that King Ming has visited Yan Ruyu, but he hasn't bought a book yet.

But behind this news, Lu Xiuyuan obviously felt something strange.

The two of them now represent two forces, and then the people from the second prince's side took the initiative to come over, and this kind of news spread...

Lu Xiuyuan quickly got a clue from the back of this matter, the other party was trying to sow discord!

King Ming came here with such a big fanfare, it was obvious that he was so arrogant because he received the second prince's order.

In this way, it made sense, the other party deliberately created the illusion that he had a close relationship with King Ming, in order to confuse the First Prince and break down the relationship of trust between them.

This move was really vicious, and the people on the side of the second prince might think that they had nothing to do with him, so they simply started from the side of the first prince. No matter how powerful Lu Xiuyuan was, as long as the first prince didn't trust him, there would be no difference between having him or not having him.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan covered his face silently, he really couldn't deal with this trick.

After all, he can't decide what the eldest prince thinks.

Sitting back on the chair and pouring himself a cup of tea, he tried his best to smooth out his soon-to-be-chaotic thoughts.

Originally, he planned to change jobs, so the first prince's trust was not that important, but he was not sure what his future boss thought?

Does King Ming have the intention to seize the throne? If so, it can only be said that he has a dark mind enough to lie in ambush for so long. If not, then the other party has absolutely no need to save him so many times.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan realized that it was the most important thing to figure out what King Ming was thinking.

After determining the next goal, he was no longer disturbed by the chaotic status quo, but started publishing newspapers with concentration.

Movable type printing, it was the first time for them to make prints as small as newspapers, so all the commonly used characters were engraved on the spot. After Shi Yunchen paid three times the remuneration, they successfully typeset and printed the first issue of the newspaper on the third day .

Because it was the first sale, they were planning to advertise in the same way as before, but before they had time to show off, most of them were taken over by King Ming.

At that time, Lu Xiuyuan went to Hanlin and was not there. Shi Yunchen saw that the large stack of newspapers he had finally printed was swept away by Ming Wang lightly, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Although the other party gave a lot of money, it delayed their publicity and was not conducive to the promotion of the new newspaper. Shi Yunchen hurriedly ordered the people behind to print another [-] copies.

And when Lu Xiuyuan came to Yan Ruyu in the West Market after get off work, he saw Ming Wang reading a newspaper behind the innermost screen.

……

At the side, Yun Chen leaned over and whispered: "The other party has been sitting in this position for a day, why don't you come up and have a word?"

This is too dedicated, Lu Xiuyuan didn't know how to complain for a while.

After waiting for a while, when there were fewer people reading in the store, he walked over with a pot of tea.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Hearing the voice, the other party's sight shifted from the newspaper to his face.

Seeing that King Ming stared at him with interest and inquiry, Lu Xiuyuan pretended not to understand and continued to look back silently without blushing.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the other turned his eyes back to the newspaper and smiled.

Good guy, King Ming's reaction completely confuses Lu Xiuyuan, he even wonders if the other party has some problem with his head, this obsessed personality can't understand the rules at all!

Fortunately, when the shop was about to close, the other party didn't have to urge him to touch the newspaper and go back in the carriage.

When they returned to the courtyard where they lived that day, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly asked Shi Yunchen's people to report the news they had inquired without eating.

Since the day Ming Wang entered Yan Ruyu's gate, he has been looking for someone to continue to inquire about the news, what is the intention of the other party, and whether his guess is true. No matter how he guesses, the information he inquired is the most reliable.

Especially King Ming, this time he not only inquired about the current situation, but also collected as much information as possible on King Ming's life, whether it was real events or rumors, as long as it was about King Ming, he collected everything.

So, there is this scene.

Lu Xiuyuan sat on the chief chair, and the people below dutifully reported the news they had inquired about.

It turns out that King Ming really has some problems in his mind?

According to the information obtained by the organization, King Ming admired force when he was young, and his personality was fairly normal when he was young, but as the value of force got higher and higher, his personality became more and more weird. He liked to kill and bloodthirsty, and his behavior style was unpredictable.

After many inquiries and various folk rumors and legends, King Ming is a moody, violent lunatic.

But King Ming didn't look like this at all when he lost his memory? !

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help tapping the table with his fingers.

If he hadn't been with King Ming who lost his memory for a while, he might have believed the news from these people!

After all, the current King Ming and the King Ming when he lost his memory are simply two people, why is there such a big difference in personality?

Lu Xiuyuan tried his best to recall the details of his time with King Ming who lost his memory.

At that time, he was going to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination, and because of the flood, he got lost with the guards, and then picked up King Ming who was going to relieve the disaster but was assassinated by the river.

He still remembered that when he picked up the other party, King Ming was already considered a dying man with dilated pupils and weak breathing.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but later he saw that the clothes worn by King Ming were very ordinary, so he thought it was a commoner nearby, so he just tried his hand with the small needle of the spirit pivot and rescued him.

But when the other party woke up, he couldn't remember anything because of the blood on his head and lost his memory. He kept calling him my distant brother, and said he was his third brother...

For younger brother Yuan, it might be the youngest fourth prince.

He thought of the news he had inquired before, that the fourth prince was extremely intelligent since he was a child, but he accidentally slipped and fell into the water and drowned.

Regardless of whether the Fourth Prince drowned by himself or was drowned by the First Prince, Duke Ming was very careful with him when he lost his memory, especially the knee-high river, insisting on carrying him across the river...

Lu Xiuyuan's fingers tapping the tabletop finally stopped, and he gradually came to a conclusion in his heart.

The reason why a person's personality is so divided is either schizophrenia or a disguise.

"It all shows that Wang is addicted to killing. Go and investigate again. Who has the other party killed in these years? Are they innocent?"

Those people retreated quietly after receiving the order.

Lu Xiuyuan stood up and looked out of the window. When the result of this inquiry came out, he should have a general understanding of King Ming.

Because he had been with the amnesiac King Ming for a while, he had always firmly believed that the other party was good in nature. If the news came out this time, that King Ming killed all bad people and did not attack the old, weak, women and children, then the other party is definitely It's a fake, and such a bad reputation is deliberately created.

If the other party really attacked everyone, then perhaps Duke Ming was indeed a little crazy.

This is like a question he saw before, if the world doesn't treat you kindly, should you still treat the world kindly?

The other party has enough strength to vent his emotions as much as he wants. Although he looks powerful and powerful, the wound in his heart has never been healed.

In any case, the first prince is definitely not reliable, and the second prince is also directly ruled out. Now it depends on how much King Ming really wants to fight for the throne.

The author has something to say: the scene where the male lead meets the Amnesiac King Ming is in Chapter 98, if you are interested, you can review it~ (I also revisited it just now, the Ming King was so warm at that time)
