The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

Emperor Yong said: "Xuan."

Shu Yao dragged Princess Jiayi in, and Li Mingji followed behind him at a leisurely pace, respectfully retreating to one side, as quiet as a transparent person.

Emperor Yong glanced at him, first smiled at his niece and daughter: "What's wrong?"

These two days have been busy with provincial examinations and admissions, Princess Jiayi didn't want to disturb her, so she endured it for two days, and when she heard that Emperor Yong was reading in the imperial study, she dared to ask to see her.Fortunately, it was a coincidence that Emperor Yong was not busy.

"Recently, Ayuan took me to practice calligraphy," Shu Yao said in a crisp voice, and said the words that the two of them had already discussed, "Ayuan said that she admired a scholar's calligraphy very much and asked me to learn to copy it. I think it's normal. Ask uncle to judge."

It turned out that the two young ladies had quarreled again.

Emperor Yong couldn't help laughing, the two had been arguing since they were young, how old are they, and they didn't feel ashamed to quarrel in front of him.

Disgusted in his heart, his tense face relaxed a lot, he raised his hand, "Show me."

Princess Jiayi nervously handed over the copybook.

This is the method she discussed with Shu Yao.

What Princess Jiayi presented was not a copied copybook, but a prose written by Zhou Rong - "On Birth".This is one of the few current commentary articles that Zhou Rong sent to Princess Jiayi.

Princess Jiayi seems to understand political matters, but the analysis of this article is clear and logical, and it should be very good.In the previous dynasty, there was no shortage of precedents for the emperor to appreciate a failed candidate and directly appoint him an official, which is called "self-recommendation". If Emperor Yong read Zhou Rong's article, he might be able to summon him.

Emperor Yong took the copybook, "Strong and powerful, the muscles and bones evenly rested, this word has indeed been worked hard..."

Looking at them line by line, Emperor Yong's brows gradually furrowed, his eyes filled with horror.

The core point of this "On Birth" is exactly the same as Pan Lingze's policy article!

Pan Lingze’s policy article, starting from the origins of the gentry landlords and commoner landlords, explored the significance of the imperial examination system in changing the rich and powerful’s children relying on their kindness to conquer the nobility and opening the door for the poor to become officials, implicitly criticizing the social hierarchy. curing phenomenon. The method of discussion in "On Birth", and even some examples, are the same as those in Pan Lingze's policy article, obviously written by the same person.

But the words of the two articles are really too different.

Pan Lingze's handwriting is only at the level of ordinary people, and there are many alterations, but the handwriting in "On Birth" is just like Emperor Yong's evaluation, with its own charm.

"Back then," Emperor Yong read out the inscription, "Who is this?"

Backtracking, backtracking, the water swims back and forth, Pan Lingze's name also has water in it, is it Pan Lingze's character?

"His name is Zhou Rong, and it's his character," Princess Jiayi hurriedly said, "Rong from 'The Pear Blossom Courtyard Melts into the Moon, and the Catkin Pond Is Gentle Breeze'. I heard that he is also a candidate for this year's imperial examination, and the emperor has seen him. Paper?"

More than a hundred test papers were written in a mess, and Emperor Yong took them away after a glance. He picked out all the papers that could barely be read, and re-ranked them.If there were such excellent candidates, it would be impossible for Emperor Yong not to be impressed.

Unless after that, someone tampered with it.

The anger again and again made Emperor Yong calm down.He put down the copybook and smiled, "Practicing calligraphy pays attention to 'meaning' and 'spirit'. His calligraphy already has its own charm, and it is indeed worthy of copying. Yaoyao, A Yuan, first let me read the copybook for a few minutes." God, how are you? I still have things to deal with, Yin Fu, take the princess and the princess away."

Princess Jiayi nodded in a daze, until she and Shu Yao were taken out of the imperial study room, she didn't understand Emperor Yong's intention. "Father, did you like Zhou Lang's work, or did you not?"

But Shu Yao thought of Li Mingji standing behind her.When he appeared in the imperial study room, he must have something to discuss with Emperor Yong. At worst, when he returns to the mansion, she will ask Li Mingji to clarify.

She comforted: "Don't worry, I'll ask my guard later."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Yong carefully looked at the two works in front of him, and absurd guesses formed in his mind, which he only found ridiculous.No wonder the aristocratic family has nothing to worry about. In the eyes of the aristocratic family, what he does is just a small fight, right?

"Zhou Rong, Zhou Rong..."

"His Majesty."

While pondering, the young man's voice as smooth as pearls fell on his ears.Emperor Yong turned his head and saw that Li Mingji, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, "The matter that I have to report to the humble post is also related to this candidate named 'Zhou Rong'."

"He is from Huizhou. He came to Beijing to take the exam last year and lived in Zhixiang in the west of the city. Last night, the humble officer led the Imperial City Secretary on duty. Passing through Zhixiang, he saw someone following Zhou Rong in and murdered him, so he rescued him. "

Li Mingji took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, with a pattern on it, "This is the tattoo on the assassin's body. I followed the words on the tattoo and visited several residences surnamed Dou one after another. I saw Mrs. Dou Wenxiao writing a letter. The matter has been done, and I wish Pan Lingze the champion of high school."

Most of the aristocratic families will raise the dead, stab the family's surname on the chest, and serve as servants of the aristocratic family for generations. This phenomenon is not uncommon in the court.Dou Wenxiao is one of the Zhiju officials in this imperial examination...

For them, stealing the beam and changing the post, killing someone to silence them, and quietly taking a life, to them, is as simple as crushing an ant to death.After all, these people don't even look down on the emperor.

"I know."

Emperor Yong said with a hoarse voice, "Li Qing, I want you to do one thing. Before the palace exam tomorrow, it must be done."

Li Mingji lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

……

This busy, then arrived in the middle of the night.

The weather is getting warmer, and the frost and dew are still thick at night.Li Mingji turned into the Liluo Courtyard under the damp and cold night dew.

The little princess is clingy, and only by his side can he fall asleep peacefully.Due to the delay tonight, I couldn't be by her side, I'm afraid I'll be angry again.

She is picky and delicate, so Li Mingji quickly took a shower, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and then went to the Begonia Courtyard.It's so late, the princess should be sleeping, right?

He hurried in, but saw an unexpected scene.The little princess held the cat in one hand and the drawing book in the other. Her eyes were closed, and she didn't even notice when the story book hit her face.The Persian cat curled up in her arms and slept soundly too.

Li Mingji leaned over and took away the script that was covering Shu Yao's face.The Persian cat has keen hearing, moved its ears, and opened a pair of mandarin duck pupils.But after seeing it was him, he turned over again and fell asleep lazily.

Turning over, he pressed Shu Yao's chest arrogantly. Li Mingji frowned in displeasure. Sleeping Shu Yao also felt short of breath. He opened his eyes, hugged the culprit cat, and then Then he saw an unexpected person: "...Li Mingji? Are you back?"

The voice of the little princess who had just woken up was soft, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of honey.Li Mingji hummed, and turned a page in the storybook in his hand, "Princess Merry Shadow Weiqiao? The princess likes to read this recently?"
