As early as the third day after sikongtam and their departure, Yan Xiaoming, who was officially made crown prince, followed the emperor back to the imperial study. Now Chu Yunhan no longer accompanies them to deal with state affairs. He is only busy with agricultural reform and inland sea governance. Most of the time, he will not appear in the imperial study.

In the early days of the imperial examination, the examiners of the imperial examination, the university scholars and scholars, reported the names and sources of the top three, while the rest of the Jinshi were listed in the table above. Yan Shengzhi, as Ling Jingxuan had expected, noticed the similarities between Ling Jinghan and Huiyuan. After returning to the imperial study, Zhang Dezi not only found all the records about Ling Jinghan, but also sent him to the imperial library Yan Shengzhi also had to admire his ability when he saw the flowing articles in the exam??

"Prince, Ling Jinghan is from Qingyang County, Cangzhou, just like your aunt Jiuhuang. What is their relationship?"

In such a short period of time, what he can know is that Ling Jinghan came from Qingyang County of Cangzhou. He has successively passed the examinations of Zhongsheng and Jieyuan. In addition, he has won two yuan in the Huiyuan, which is enough to rival the current left Prime Minister Sun Liang. No, he is more talented than Sun Liang. In those years, Sun Liang was the third candidate in the imperial examination. Only when he pointed out the number one scholar in the imperial examination was put into important position No doubt, he is also a champion, but as long as he thinks about his relationship with Ling Jingxuan, he is a bit reluctant to give him the champion.

Prince Yan Xiaoming is his own son. Can't he see through his ideas? After thinking about it for a while, Yan Xiaoming said slowly: "he is aunt Jiuhuang's second younger brother. His father praised him for his ability in the world, but he was suffering from poor health. He did not have the opportunity to take part in the imperial examination until aunt Jiuhuang cured him of his persistent illness for many years the year before last. At the end of the year, he began to participate in the children's student examination The first one in the exam

After balance, he still decided to be honest. He could find out such a thing by sending someone to Lingjia village. There was no need to lie.

"Second brother? Why didn't Jingxuan talk about it? If I had known that he had a younger brother studying in the Imperial College, I would have taken care of him. Could the prince know why? "

It's deceptive to say that he is not shocked, but he has speculated about this possibility for a long time, but there is not much emotional change. It's just that when he talks, it's hard to avoid feeling bad.

You'd better take care of it!

If you can, Yan Xiaoming immediately wants to roar back to him. However, he still holds back and says coldly: "aunt Jiuhuang probably doesn't want others to talk about his family's nepotism. Second uncle?? Uncle Ling is really capable. Even if you don't need uncle Jiuhuang to help us, you can pass the Huiyuan exam with your own ability. "

Others say that uncle Ling is so arrogant and arrogant that he relies on Uncle Jiuhuang to support him behind his back. In fact, he knows better than anyone else that uncle Ling and uncle Ling are all relying on themselves. Uncle Jiuhuang only gives them silent support.

"The prince seems to be very close to the Ling family?"

Yan Shengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yan Xiaoming's heart coagulated. He raised his head to meet his gaze: "the children's ministers are close to talented people. Any talents useful to the country and the country will be close to them. I remember that aunt Jiuhuang once said," use the virtuous, but not kiss! This is what he said to his family when he was managing his own industry. His son Chen felt that it was also feasible to use the words in charge of the country. His relatives may not be useful to the country, and sometimes they may become the moths of the country. However, the virtuous person is different. To be an emperor, one does not have to be able to fight like the ninth emperor's uncle, nor does he have to be as talented as Zuo Xiangsun Liang, but he must learn to use it With talents like Uncle Huang and Sun Liang, monarchs and ministers work together to govern our country well. "

Yan Xiaoming skilfully evades his question. Yan Shengzhi is suspicious. His answer to yes or no will arouse his suspicion. Such an answer may be the best.

"The prince is right to think so."

Yan Shengzhi's face softened, and Yan Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief. But then Yan Shengzhi picked up Ling Jinghan's paper and said, "this paper is really perfect, but the writing style is slightly sharp. After all, it's too young to practice for several years."

except for himself, no one knows what this means. Yan Xiaoming can't help sinking, My father is not going to order other people to be number one, right?

Some people were happy and worried about the announcement of the imperial examination results. Most of the students who failed in the imperial examination had to pack up their bags and prepare to go back to their hometown. A few of the students who were economically more flexible stayed. On the one hand, they wanted to see who would be appointed the third class A by the emperor in the palace examination three days later. On the other hand, they wanted to stay in the capital to do some work to prepare for the war three years later There is no more happy than the large and small hotels in the capital. Even if most of the students who have fallen behind have left, the part left behind is enough for them to make a lot of money.

The next day, the capital fell into an unprecedented bustle in the early morning. Shortly after the prince of the west left, the prince of the south, the fourth Prince of the East, the sixth Princess and the eighth princess came again. Sun Liang, who had become the left prime minister, went to the East Gate to welcome them into the palace. According to the Convention, after the reception, there would be a state banquet the next day, all the royal families, civil and military officials Because the crown prince of the southern kingdom and the six princesses and eight princesses all came to make peace with each other, the emperor issued an order before noon, ordering all royal relatives and civil and military officials to bring their family members, especially their legitimate sons and daughters of the right age. At the same time, because the imperial examination was also held on the same day, the three Jias born on that day should also go to the banquet together.When hearing this news, Ling Jingxuan only felt a headache. Every time he entered the palace, it was no good thing. Especially when he met the emperor, if he could, he didn't want to go. However, because Ling Jinghan might also go, he had to go again. However, on the first day of the state banquet, he received a message from the queen asking the dead man himself.

"What did the queen say?"

In the hall of Shengqin palace, the prince of the southern kingdom and the fourth Prince of the eastern Kingdom arrive. Yan Shengrui and Yan Xiaohua all go to the palace, leaving only Ling Jingxuan, who came back from outside the city after receiving the imperial edict, and sikongjue, who also came back from the hospital. Now, in addition to helping them preside over the interior of the palace, Princess Yun has nothing to do but take care of the little Tuanzi and basically no longer care about their troubles.

"Ye Guifei went to Yunhan. She said that she knew who had poisoned her majesty. On this condition, she asked Yunhan to stop the marriage between the prince of the southern kingdom and princess Lingrui."

Raising his hand and waving back to the servant in the hall, Ling Jingxuan handed the letter written with special liquid medicine to Si kongjue.

"What? Poison the emperor? "

But he forgot that sikongjue didn't know about the emperor's poisoning. He immediately yelled, and his blue eyes glared at him as if he were about to fall out. Ling Jingxuan could not help rubbing his headache and slowly told the story of the emperor's poisoning, including the smallpox incident. He felt something wrong with Yan Shengzhi.

"So it is likely that the one who poisoned the emperor is the one who assassinated you?"

After hearing what he said, Princess Yun frowned and asked. If this is the case, it must be the people from the harem. Moreover, I'm afraid there are people close to the emperor who have been bribed. Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party to poison the emperor for a long time without anyone noticing.

"I can't rule out this possibility. The poison in the emperor's body should be suppressed by my antidote pill. Even if the toxin can't be completely eliminated, it should not continue to be active, unless the poison of Southern Xinjiang or someone poisoned the emperor's meal, which Yunhan could not personally supervise during the smallpox incident. I told Yun Han about this last time I left the palace In view of the fact that the emperor has not been poisoned all the time, the possibility of the first one is relatively high. However, it is not ruled out that the person who re poisoned the emperor estimated the dosage of the poison. As a result, most of the toxin was suppressed by the decoction that the Emperor had taken all year round and was temporarily hidden in his body. If we want to confirm this point, we must give the emperor a pulse again. "

Ling Jingxuan's face is also indescribable serious. Originally, he wanted to wait for people from other countries to slowly pull out the people hiding behind them. Unexpectedly, ye Guifei put forward such a condition. Presumably, ye Guifei is also clear. Once this incident is exposed, she will be implicated even if she fails to report the truth. At that time, Princess Lingrui may not be able to keep it. Why does she choose to be the master Move it out? Just to have enough capital to negotiate with Yunhan? No, she should not be such a stupid person. Yes, she should know that as long as she is loyal to Yun Han, she will try her best to stop the marriage?? Why on earth?

"Then give it to him again. The emperor should also rely on your medical skills. If you want to pulse him, he may be more than happy."

Sikong Jue is not stupid, but because of their straightforward character, their ideas are simple. Princess Yun and Ling Jingxuan look at each other and shake their heads helplessly: "the emperor is naturally suspicious. If I take the initiative to tell him to feel pulse, he will be suspicious. When he intervenes, things will be more chaotic. Moreover, the poison on his body is not difficult to solve. The reason why I did not detoxify him is completely It's because it can't be solved at all. His body has been hollowed out for a long time. It will speed up his death to detoxify him with strong medicine. It's better to let him drag on like this, maybe he can live a little longer. "

At least live to clean up all his mess.

"Then we'll do nothing? Where is Ye Guifei? How is the queen going to reply to her? "

Sikong Jue frowned and said it all because of the emperor. Without him, the world would be peaceful.

"Yunhan has refused and rebuked her

Ling Jingxuan picked up his tea cup and sipped it gently. Yunhan sent someone to inform him that he just wanted to ask for his opinions, not to ask him to make up his mind. When ye Guifei proposed that condition, he was doomed to have only one choice. Otherwise, he would become a failure to report his feelings. Maybe, this is what ye Guifei's purpose is? Can she make mistakes in blocking Yunhan and let her grasp it?

"The Queen's decision is right. There will be no one who can really trust in the deep palace. The less likely there will be any partners."

When she said these words, a trace of pain flashed on her face. Everyone would have one or two friends in her life, and she was no exception. In the end, she found that it was impossible for her to make real friends.

"Ha ha Yun Han is not stupid. He knows how to do it. We can't discuss anything here. Let's wait until we meet Yun Han in the Palace tomorrow. "

Ling Jingxuan is so smart that he can't see that Yunhan's affair has already aroused the memory of Princess Yun? He ended the topic and went to the palace three times, hoping that this time there would not be a river of blood. Occasionally, he also wanted to be a quiet vase princess. Well, although this wish is a little too far away for him.
