The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 535
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still not very bright, and Liu Wenzheng got off the carriage in a nervous mood. He was dressed in a formal official uniform, and the wat board he was holding in his hand was a little unstable.

Stopping to look at the gate of the palace, I felt even more flustered.

After going back yesterday, he thought about it carefully. Based on his experience, he felt that this matter was not easy.

Even if it was the regent's intention, this matter would not be easy to handle. Since the regent did not show up, he would naturally have to come up with a strong argument to defend King An.

The most important thing here is not whether the regent agrees or not, but to make the officials not object.

If the ministers object, the Regent cannot agree to this matter, and he will be criticized for his ineffectiveness at that time.

"Master Liu." Lin Zhengyang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was walking this way, Liu Wenzheng was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly walked towards the palace gate with the wat board, pretending not to hear.

Anyway, he is notoriously deaf, and sometimes he had to pretend he couldn't hear.

He doesn't want to have anything to do with the Ministry of Rites now, this Lin Zhengyang belongs to King Duan, and he belongs to King An now, so it's better to keep a distance.

Thinking of this, he felt a little strange again, isn't this Princess Regent the daughter of the Lin family?Why are you still fighting against your own father?
If you think about it carefully, you can still figure it out. How can a woman be the master when you are married to the regent?
What's more, the regent princess and Duan princess are not the same mother. Since Lin Zhengyang favorably helped the eldest daughter, I am afraid that the regent princess has long since separated from Lin Zhengyang.

After all, in this capital city, it is not surprising that siblings fight each other.

"Didn't Liu Shangshu hear this?" Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said to Lin Zhengyang.

Lin Zhengyang didn't care about it, he just said, "Liu Wenzheng's old problem of deafness has not lasted for a day or two."

The left servant of the Ministry of Rites clicked his tongue twice, and said: "I see this Mr. Liu is in the hall, but he never loses his ears."

"How dare he?" After Lin Zhengyang finished speaking, both of them smiled.

Nine hours and four.

Emperor Yan Anzhi sat on the dragon chair for a while, all the ministers were reporting, only Liu Wenzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, kept his head down, still racking his brains to think of his own words.

After the prime minister said that the disaster in Shannan had been settled, Liu Wenzheng took a deep breath and walked out from the courtiers with a slight bow.

"Your Majesty, the Regent, I have something to play."

Yan Anzhi said: "Zuzao."

I don't know if it's the illusion of the courtiers, since yesterday, the emperor seems to be a different person, no longer making troubles like usual, and now he has the appearance that a king should have.

Probably because he was locked up in Weiyang Palace for a period of time and had some reflections.

Liu Wenzheng hesitated for a moment, swallowed his throat, and then began to say: "In another month, the imperial examination will be held every three years. In previous years, the prime minister was the chief examiner, but now the prime minister is old, it is really inappropriate I have to work hard, so the post of examiner has not yet been taken up."

The loud voice wafted through the entire hall, and those who were careful could notice that the wat board in the hand of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was too tight.

"En." Yan Anzhi nodded, and glanced sideways at the regent, seeing that the regent had no intention of speaking.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "This matter is indeed an important matter. The imperial examination is coming, and there is no longer any delay. My dear ministers, is there anyone who can take on this important task?"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Liu Wenzheng was also nervous, afraid of being snatched away, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the regent, I have the courage to recommend King An as the chief examiner."

As soon as these words came out, the court was suddenly silent, and then the ministers were shocked.
