Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1131 No matter life or death
After sending away the eunuch who was delivering the message from the palace, Lin Jinan immediately went to look for his sister:
"Yan'er, you are amazing. His Majesty really let me go to the Hanlin Academy. He also said that after the morning court tomorrow, my grandfather and I will go to the palace to meet the emperor."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"Then congratulations, brother. His Majesty wanted to inspire the An Gu family and the Dingbei Army to conquer Mobei, but it was too obvious and hypocritical, so he invited grandfather to the palace and used grandfather's mouth to pass the news to grandpa."

Lin Jinan nodded, stood up and walked to the window, his face was calm and sad beyond his years:
"Only me and the runner-up Feng Zongchang entered the Imperial Academy this spring, and the other Jinshi have already been assigned official positions.

And... I have asked Uncle Wang a long time ago, there are vacancies for suitable official positions. The prince even deliberately left the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites vacant for a long time, but when His Majesty went to court, he asked about several official positions that were not vacant.

As you expected, His Majesty has long wanted me to join the Imperial Academy, but he doesn't want others to target the Imperial Academy."

Lin Jinyan stood side by side with her brother:

"Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. After entering the palace, you must be careful in everything. Just show your talent and intelligence, and try to hide your shortcomings in other aspects. As for the people in the Hanlin Academy, make as many friends as possible, but be moderate and don't arouse their vigilance."

Hearing this, Lin Jinan turned his head to look at his sister, smiling and hiding his sorrow:

"I've got this in mind, brother. It's the wisdom of being foolish and keeping a low profile. This is what I'm best at. Not only that, but you also have to be loyal and show that you have no ambitions."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, chatted for a while, and then sent the person away. Lin Jinyan called Wei Zhong:

"Have the spies sent by the palace arrived in Zhangzhou and Binzhou?"

Wei Zhong: "Not long after Han Yaohui and Yue Jianlin left, the secret agents from the palace arrived, a few days earlier than the two of them arrived in Beijing."

"Tell our people to be careful not to attract attention, just keep an eye on them from a distance and don't let them lose their tracks. As always, spread the news in a subtle way so that the spies can find out. Don't let them be discovered. Also, the school is going to start accepting female students. Let Du Xing spread the word in the farm outside the city." Wei Zhong took the order and left. Lin Jinyan picked up the military book and turned a page, then told Bai Zhi:

"Prepare the medicine for His Royal Highness Prince Qi and the little prince and carry it with you. I'm afraid you will have to go to the palace in a few days."

The Mansion of Marquis Hong'an.

Upon hearing that the emperor had personally ordered an investigation into the thieves who had held Princess Pingnan and Princess Yeliang hostage, Zhu Dianhua panicked, fearing that his men would not be able to withstand the torture and would give him away. He hurried to find Earl Hong'an to explain the whole story and ask him to find a way to get the thieves out, or just kill them directly.

Earl Hong'an had just returned home from visiting Hua Menglian, and his mind was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father again. But after listening to what Zhu Dianhua said, his happiness completely disappeared and he scolded Zhu Dianhua for a while.

Although Zhu Dianhua had never been scolded like this by his father, he had caused trouble after all, so he managed to hold back and not retort.

Although there were some misunderstandings between Earl Hong'an and Chen Qingshan, the prefect of Jingzhao, many years ago, they were both Chu Chengyao's men in private, and those misunderstandings had been reconciled long ago.

When he found Chen Qingshan and explained his purpose, although Chen Qingshan cursed in his heart, he still agreed on the surface.

Before Earl Hong'an even left the house, Chen Qingshan sent someone to pass the news to Prince Jin's Mansion.

After Chu Chengyao left the court, he had a secret talk with Qi Quan for a while, then went to the Ministry of Personnel. After being busy for half a day, he returned home and had not yet had time to catch his breath when he heard about this matter. He impatiently scolded Zhu Dianhua for only making trouble.

After suppressing his anger, he replied to Chen Qingshan:

Do not implicate the captured person in the Hong'an Marquis's Mansion, and make a confession that can withstand verification, regardless of whether he is dead or alive.
