The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 194
Several people moved into the lobby, and smelled a strong smell of ginger as soon as they entered. On this humid rainy night, the smell of ginger became more and more pungent.

Lu Shengming waved his hand: "It's all the same, just take a bowl and drink it."

As he spoke, he picked up a bowl first, and after blowing on it, he couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth. It can be seen that it was really cold just now.

Xiao Yu doesn't like the smell of ginger, but after walking in the ice cellar, it doesn't seem so hard to accept now.

She handed a bowl to Zhen Qingping who was beside her: "Drink a bowl, little uncle. You have been exposed to the rain and frozen for a long time. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Well, thank you, Ayu." Zhen Qingping took it over, warmed his hands by holding it first, then blew on it, and drank it in small sips.

She shared the remaining two bowls with Han Yi, and after eating the spicy ginger soup, the hot person felt comfortable from the inside out.

Xiao Yu frowned and let out a hot breath. She took back what she said before, and she couldn't accept Jiang Tang at any time.

Seeing Xiao Yu's distasteful look, Lu Shengming clapped his palms and laughed: "My lord is not afraid of anything, but is he afraid of Jiang?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Everyone has likes and dislikes. I don't like ginger, and I usually can't smell ginger. This time I made an exception, but I still feel unacceptable."

"Hahahahaha——" Lu Shengming laughed, and finally saw a bit of what Xiao Yu should look like at this age from Xiao Yu at the moment.

Xiao Yu glanced at him lightly, and Lu Shengming said, "Hahahaha...haha...ha...cough——"

He restrained his smile and asked seriously: "Second Master Zhen, what I'm about to ask next may not be appropriate, but it concerns the deceased in this case, so I still want to ask. Do you know the deceased? Who is he?"

Zhen Qingping drank the last sip of ginger soup, pursed his lips, "My lord's responsibility, I understand, the man inside is named Nan Qingshan, a close friend of mine, eighteen years old, from Bingzhou, I don't know the situation of his family very well , I only know that his hometown is Nanjia Village in Liuxian County, Bingzhou."

"Then how did he come to the capital?"

"He came to Beijing last year to take part in the examination, and left after the results were announced. I don't know what happened during the period of the examination. After the results were announced, he left without saying goodbye. I... I was in Datong Academy at the time, and I don't know why."

Lu Shengming nodded: "That's okay, at least it's easy to check if you know the name and place of origin."

Xiao Yu's eyebrows and eyes were cold, he thought quietly for a moment, and suddenly said: "Little uncle, I have to trouble you to go back to Datong Academy tomorrow, and ask the dean to compare the handwriting on the three pieces of paper with a few venerable masters. "

Zhen Qingping understood what she meant, and responded straightforwardly: "Okay, leave this matter to me, I can still talk to the students in Datong Academy, if Ayu needs it, just let me know Just one sound."

Xiao Yu smiled: "I am relieved to have my little uncle's words, but this matter cannot be rushed."

She looked at Lu Shengming with a solemn expression: "Master Lu, I will leave it to you to check the household registration and family situation in Nanqingshan. At that time, I will ask the driver to assist you. If you can't solve it, you can find me."

Lu Shengming's heart trembled, he stood up and cupped his hands, "Yes."

Then he frowned, and asked hesitantly: "Then Zhao Lu...how should we deal with it? Are we going to arrest him for interrogation?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, I have people staring at him. It is not appropriate to startle the snake at this moment, but we can start from the other side."

"what?"

Xiao Yu smiled, "Just wait and see."

She stood up, the rain outside the door was getting weaker, "It's getting late, let's go back."

"The next official to see off the prince—"

"No, stay."

Xiao Yu went out without looking back, stood on the porch and reached out to catch some rainwater, and said in an erratic voice, "The first spring rain of this year is really menacing."

Zhen Qingping walked over, looked at her calm profile, and for some reason, could see something about the rain coming.

……

Last night's rain came suddenly, and everyone was still talking about it in the morning, but they didn't know that someone was galloping in the rain and revealed a corner of the truth.

In the early court, Jun Rong asked about the murder case in the dark alley. Lu Shengming followed Xiao Yu's instructions and only said that he was still investigating the identity of the beggar for the time being. He breathed a sigh of relief. Last year's incident was done cleanly. The people involved should be killed and left. Now they want to investigate, but they can't find anything. He is very relieved.

After Lu Shengming finished speaking, Jun Rong said solemnly: "My birthday is approaching, and envoys from various countries will arrive in Beijing one after another. We must investigate this case before then, and we must not let other countries watch the excitement, understand?"

Lu Shengming respectfully said: "Yes, I must do my best to settle this case as soon as possible."

Xiao Yu suggested at the right time: "After all, the Jingzhao Mansion has limited manpower, so let the Zuo envoy, who is looking for opportunities, bring people to assist Mr. Lu."

"That's what the master said, so do it."

"Yes." Master Lu agreed and retreated to his seat.

Xiao Yu said again: "Your Majesty has been enthroned for more than a month, and the court and society are on the right track. In my opinion, the third pass of the imperial examination should also be put on the agenda. Resuming the imperial examination to select talents as soon as possible can also fill the ranks of officials in the imperial court." Vacancy left by the change."

"The minister seconded that the imperial examination is a major event and the main way to select talents. Your Majesty should arrange the imperial examination as soon as possible to appease the scholars and literati in the world."

"The minister agrees-"

Xiao Yu's proposal did not receive any objection this time, and everyone agreed that the palace examination should be resumed.

Jun Rong thought about it again and again, "Since all the lovers agree, then I will pass on my order, and the palace examination will be held in five days. If there is a long way to go, the quota will be reserved and postponed until next year for reference."

"Five days later... isn't it a little too urgent?"

Someone raised an objection, Jun Rong calmly said: "The imperial examination is held every three years. Last year, it was delayed for a year because of the national mourning. Now if the imperial examination is not done as soon as possible, at least the envoys of other countries will have to wait for the departure of the imperial examination. Then the next rural examination will be held." It's started, what does it sound like to huddle together?"

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and he hastened so fast that he can make it in time for ordinary places. If it's a particularly remote place, he might not be able to make it in ten and a half months. It's okay to wait for the palace test next time."

The ministers below whispered for a while, and finally the matter was settled like this.

After leaving the Mingguang Palace, Zhao Jinghuai deliberately slowed down and looked at Wen Jizhen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, who came out from behind.

As soon as Wen Jizhen came out, he realized that someone was looking at him. He stopped and looked over. Across the scattered crowd, he and Zhao Jinghuai met eyes.

Seeing Zhao Jinghuai nodding towards him, he turned and left, and could not help squinting his eyes.

He pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then strode forward as if nothing had happened.

After leaving the palace, he got into his own sedan chair and told the driver: "If you don't go back to the residence, go to Yunlai Pavilion."
