Chapter 134
Under Zheng Lian's calm and cold gaze, the Minister of Rites and the three co-prefects stepped into the palace gate tremblingly.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites does not have a strong sense of existence, far less direct communication with Emperor Yong than the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households.Presiding over the imperial examination is the biggest task that the Ministry of Rites has taken over in the past three years.

Watching the four of them enter the palace, Zheng Lian smiled ambiguously, "Are you the Marquis of Du Yu appointed by His Majesty himself?"

Ever since Zhang Sheng, the commander in charge of the palace, was dismissed, Emperor Yong never appointed a new commander. The status of the commander is no different.

Look, a fifth-rank official who has been in the court for less than a year has already dared to challenge him, the prime minister.

It can be seen that because of his preference for Princess Huaxi, Emperor Yong treated this Master Li very kindly, which gave Li Mingji the confidence to stand here.

It is really a good dog raised by Emperor Yong.

Li Mingji lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zheng."

"Your Majesty, please be polite," Zheng Lian smiled, "Since Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, I should wait here for His Majesty to come out. Please trouble Your Majesty to stay here."

The words are casual, but there is contempt hidden in the words, and the meaning of irony is obvious.

A sarcasm flashed across Li Mingji's eyes. At that time when Xiao Sui entered the capital, the family was in great chaos, and the Xie family fled first. The mansion was burned down by the angry people, and the big surnames of the Cui family and the Zheng family were also hit hard.Therefore, three years later, without the resistance of the aristocratic family, Emperor Yong was able to quickly raise troops and make a comeback.

There is no need for him to explain the truth that water can carry a boat or capsize it.Li Mingji would not be affected by these words long ago.

He said yes lightly, but saw a gorgeous car in the distance.Although the car looks strange, it is not difficult to see who it belongs to.

Unsurprisingly, the little princess was helped out of the carriage by her personal maid.She was wearing a cornel pink long dress today, surrounded by more than a dozen courtiers, she looked very dignified.

Shu Yao looked around, and when she saw Li Mingji, she raised the corners of her eyes, but when she saw Zheng Lian standing opposite him, her watery eyes drooped again.

Shu Yao did not forget her uncle's birthday party last year, and Zheng Lian took the lead in condemning her, questioning that she had taken over Li Mingji's paintings.

Among the veterans who founded the country, if Xie Yanzhou's grandfather, Xie Hong, was said to have a bad temper, then this old Zheng is a real hypocrite.Shu Yao has never seen such a hypocritical person as Zheng Lian, who always pretends to be good for her, but actually doesn't pay attention to her at all.

In addition to being unhappy, I felt a little happy in my heart.Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise Li Mingji would be bullied by Zheng Lian.Look at this battle, is Zheng Lian trying to give Li Mingji a blow?

Standing in front of the guard of honor, Shu Yao bent her eyes and smiled: "It's so lively here, what is Uncle Zheng doing?"

What kind of political affairs does a little lady know about court affairs?Zheng Lian didn't bother to explain to Shu Yao at all, and smiled kindly, "Princess, I have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, so I came here to see you."

If the little princess is more sensible, he should take the initiative to bring them in.He has long been displeased with the privileges given to Shu Yao by Emperor Yong. She is not even considered a princess, so why does she come and go freely in the palace?Instead, they, the courtiers who wanted to see Emperor Yong, were stopped outside the door.This is totally against the rules!

Shu Yao said "Oh" and blinked her clear eyes, as if she didn't understand Zheng Lian's hint at all, "Uncle Zheng, why are you more ignorant than this princess. Uncle is presiding over the palace examination today, and no one is there, why? What important matter should I discuss with you when I have time? No wonder Li Mingji wanted to stop you."

Naive and outspoken, he made Zheng Lian's old face very embarrassing.It's been a long time since he had such an underwhelming power.If I knew this little princess was such a troublesome person, I should have sent her out of the palace back then!
Zheng Lian said in a steady voice: "Princess, there are some important matters that cannot be rushed. If you are in a hurry, it will lead to disaster. This is the truth in the court, and I can't explain it to you."

Shu Yao asked back: "Since it's an urgent matter, why doesn't uncle see you?"

She elongated her tone and said slowly, "Isn't it because he doesn't want to see you?"

Zheng Lian had never been humiliated so bluntly, his face was livid, and he looked angrily at the little princess in front of him who was speechless.

I can't stay, he thought, he can't let this little princess continue to be so arrogant.

"The princess is careful."

Shu Yao didn't want to deal with him, stuck out her tongue, and winked at the maid behind her.

Chunrui and Songzhen looked at each other, Chunrui opened the curtain of the car, and actually moved the couch down from above, Songzhen spread the cushions, brought table tables and melon and fruit snacks, and filled the table.

"The princess please sit down."

Shu Yao hummed, sat down gracefully on the couch, and twisted a piece of pastry, "It just so happens that the princess also has something to look for uncle. Since uncle is not seeing anyone, the princess will wait here with everyone."

Tell everyone clearly: She, the most favored princess, listened to Emperor Yong and obediently waited for him at the door.What reason do these courtiers have to clamor to enter the palace?
But she waited, there were cushions, and food, unlike these ministers, some of the breakfasts were useless and hurried over, standing with an empty belly, seeing the little princess eating snacks, his stomach grunted in disbelief. "Sound.

Zheng Lian's expression turned even worse.

The little princess became coquettish, not polite at all.What's more, she did this to protect him.

A barely visible smile flashed across Li Mingji's eyes, and he said softly, "Xie Junzhu is sympathetic."

……

In Chengqian Hall, there was no sound.

The imperial coercion came oncoming, and Pan Lingze couldn't stand still, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", his face pale.

"Grass people, grass people..."

Zhou Rong on the side said calmly: "Caomin does not know why it is similar to Pan Lang's policy essay. What Caomin said comes from the bottom of his heart. Caomin once wrote "On Birth" and sent it to a friend. The original manuscript is in the hands of a friend. Caomin would like to send a letter , holding the original manuscript to argue with Pan Lang."

"No need."

Emperor Yong smiled lightly, and Yin Fu, who was beside him, winked at the servant and showed Pan Lingze's test paper in time.

Zhou Rong walked a few steps, his face became more and more frozen.After seeing the signature of "Pan Lingze", he finally understood why he was not on the list.

He lifted his robe and knelt in front of Emperor Yong: "I wrote this policy article myself, it was definitely not Pan Lingze's pen! Caomin can tell the source of all the quotations in the policy article, please learn from your majesty!"

Emperor Yong's expression remained calm: "Pan Lingze, do you have anything else to say?"

Dip, click.

Beads of sweat oozed from the tip of Pan Lingze's nose and dripped down his chin to the ground.

"It seems that Pan Lingze doesn't know how to defend himself anymore," Emperor Yong said, "Then let someone else speak. Please come in with the Minister of Rites and the three Zhiju officials."
