After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 22 Invitation

The few days before the first few years were the days when Ye Qinghuai was in the best mood since she was reborn.

Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice reported on the same day that there was no shop selling exam questions in Xishi, this was within Ye Qinghuai's expectations.

During the curfew, you can still gamble in the small shop, which shows that the shop not only has an intertwined relationship with the Ministry of Rites, but also has an intertwined relationship with the Imperial Army or Gyeonggi Guards.

Ye Qinghuai revealed the leakage of the scientific examination questions in front of all the officials in the court hall, in order to catch Gu Shihai and the others by surprise, and make the case a reality in court, so as to prevent them from messing around and finally handing it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. An unresolved ending.

But if she acted in such a high-profile way, others would naturally report to that shop.

Sure enough, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice took Kanhe to the Imperial Army to transfer people, the shop had already disappeared without a trace in the turbulent crowds of the West Market.

Gu Shihai has recommended many people in the court over the years, and every department and department has his disciples, so it is absolutely impossible to defeat him in one fell swoop.This time, he was able to win a book of the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as a gain.

More importantly, after this incident, Chunwei's fraud was cut off from the source, and the change of Chengtianmen would not happen.

This made Ye Qinghuai breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition to the relaxation of mind, Ye Qinghuai also relaxed in her recent schoolwork.

Lu Yanchen took leave.

It wasn't Ding You, the report said that he occasionally caught a cold and was afraid of making the emperor sick, so he asked for a few days' leave.

Ye Qinghuai was somewhat skeptical.

If he is really a frail scholar, the wind and cold will be fine.But judging from his ability to climb over the wall with Ye Qinghuai on his back that day, he has practiced martial arts for a long time.The day before when he sent Ye Qinghuai back to the palace, he was alive and well, so why did he sue the next day that he was too sick to even enter the palace.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but think of the blood stains on her body that day.

If the blood didn't belong to Lu Yanchen, it should belong to someone else.Perhaps, the carriage was not rented by Lu Yanchen for his own use, but because he also brought a person who had to ride in it.

This person must be very important to him, so important that he is willing to use the gold medal bestowed by the late emperor for this person.

He kept this gold medal in his pocket for two years and never took it out, so that Ye Qinghuai didn't even know the existence of this gold medal. It stands to reason that with his temperament, he would not use the gold medal bestowed by the late emperor for other purposes.He will do this, which means that he has no other choice.

Ye Qinghuai then had a bold idea.

Perhaps this person was seriously injured, but he couldn't go to an ordinary hospital for treatment, so Lu Yanchen had to take him to the ghost market for treatment despite the curfew.

After all, as long as the price can be negotiated, the doctors in the ghost market dare to punish even the imperial court.

From this point of view, it is very debatable whether the sick leave that Lu Yanchen reported is true or not.

Another thing that makes Ye Qinghuai feel at ease is that Li Baoquan has stopped nagging her in her ear recently.

Most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were suspended because of the scientific examination case, so there was a shortage of manpower for the preparations for the various grand ceremonies on the New Year's Day. Li Baoquan took a group of young eunuchs to help the Ministry of Rites.
-
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the last morning court before the year.

Most of the turmoil of the scientific research case has passed, and the tense atmosphere of the previous few days was gone in the court hall, and it was filled with a festive and festive atmosphere.

Ye Qinghuai didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness either, she asked the newly appointed minister of rites to read out the ancestor worship matters on the first day of the new year, and then let the officials disperse.

It has to be said that the courtiers have changed the way they look at her since she threw a tantrum at the court and dismissed Shi Taiping in public.

Although it is still not awe, not even respect, but at least in this court, she is no longer an existence like air.

At least, the courtiers could already see her.

Ye Qinghuai believes that this is the first step.

The first step is always the hardest.

So she was relieved.

After the court, Ye Qinghuai saw that it was still early, so she went to Wenxuan Hall by herself.Although Lu Yanchen asked for leave, she didn't let go of her homework. She set aside at least one hour every day, and at most several hours, to study in Wenxuan Hall.

However, after a while, Chen Yuansi chased her to Wenxuan Hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has discussed with various ministries in the past few days, and initially drafted the proposal for these six people to participate in this spring." Chen Yuansi handed over a brochure.

Ye Qinghuai turned it over and looked at the names above, and heard Chen Yuansi's statement: "Two of these six people are from the Ministry of Rites, and the other four are selected from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Taiqing Pavilion. Wen Xin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Peng Chenwei has already investigated the matter of Zhonghe, and it has nothing to do with this leak.”

Seeing the last name on the booklet, Ye Qinghuai paused, and asked, "Why did Mr. Chen Ge include my husband?"

"Scientific examination is to select talents for the imperial court. It can be said that the foundation of the court is the foundation of the great vision. Lu Yanchen is in the twentieth. In terms of talent, no one in the court and the public can match him. Chunwei is his reference to compile the test questions. It is most suitable. This matter is related to Guozuo, so the veteran has the courage to second him to His Majesty for a few days." After Chen Yuansi finished speaking, he saluted Ye Qinghuai.

After Lu Yanchen rejected Chen Yuansi's promise of marriage back then, the two had almost no contact with each other, and there were many rumors in the court that the two of them were at odds.Ye Qinghuai didn't expect him to speak for Lu Yanchen like this, so she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Mr. Chen Ge said so, can I still not let him go?" Ye Qinghuai said, helped Chen Yuansi up, and said, "The spring will be in early February. Mr. Chen Ge, time is running out, I have to work hard for you gone."

"Sharing your majesty's worries is the duty of a veteran. Your majesty, don't say that." Chen Yuansi stood up tremblingly as he spoke.

Among all the courtiers, Chen Yuansi respected the puppet emperor Ye Qinghuai the most, and never exceeded the rules in words and deeds.This made Ye Qinghuai very comfortable.

When he was still in the first emperor's reign, Gu Shihai was highly valued by the emperor for his meritorious service in escorting him during the Renshen Incident. He was promoted several ranks within a year, and he was very popular in the court.At that time, Chen Yuansi had little to do with him.Later, when Ye Qinghuai ascended the throne, the two of them, one chief assistant and one second assistant, were even more at odds with each other. They almost had to fight each other when encountering major events.

Now that Ye Qinghuai intends to suppress Gu Shihai, he also intends to win over Chen Yuansi in his heart, so he is even more courteous and courteous towards Chen Yuansi. Seeing that Chen Yuansi is about to resign, Ye Qinghuai remembered something.

"Mr. Chen Ge, I'm going to visit your mansion these two days. Were you at your mansion all those years ago?"

Chen Yuansi looked at Ye Qinghuai in surprise, with some joy in his eyes, and said: "The old minister is about to invite His Majesty to go to the mansion for a meal, but considering His Majesty's work these days, he dare not open his mouth to bother His Majesty."

"What did Mr. Chen Ge say? What kind of trouble is this? I have to go to your house every year, have you forgotten?"

What Ye Qinghuai said was also true, the emperor would visit the home of important ministers every year, this has been an unwritten custom in Dajing for many years.

"Your Majesty came here at 29 last year, and at 27 the year before last. Don't dare to forget this old minister. Now that His Majesty said so, this old minister will be bold. Your Majesty, choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. How about today?"

Ye Qinghuai looked at Chen Yuansi's face full of grooves, and suddenly felt that he was very kind, not like a powerful minister.

She stood up and said, "Today is very good."

Then she told the eunuch standing outside: "Fu Hai, go find Li Baoquan and let him prepare his chariot to leave the palace."
