The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

"It should be fine. They will not act rashly for the time being."

Li Mingji patted her back to comfort her gently, but his eyes fell outside the window, and the eagle's shadow flashed past.

He did not deceive Shu Yao.If the aristocratic family wanted to seize the throne, they would not have allowed Emperor Yong to ascend the throne back then. They needed an "orthodox" emperor to embellish, at most lock them up like Shu Yao, and force him to change his mind and reissue the imperial edict.

He had done too much preparation before, now it depends on where Emperor Yong is going.Li Mingji didn't think that Emperor Yong would be so incompetent.

Shu Yao sniffed, remembering those unpleasant dreams, couldn't help but grabbed Li Mingji's clothes, and muttered, "I hate it most when people lock me up."

Li Mingji's gaze paused, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes.

Shu Yao continued: "When I find a way to get out, the princess must put this shameless person in prison."

Li Mingji hummed softly, smoothed the wrinkles on the girl's forehead with his slender fingers, pressed his warm thin lips against her ear, and said two words.

——"Secret passage".

Shu Yao suddenly woke up, she didn't even care about getting angry, her eyes were a little more excited: "Li Luo Yuan!"

The secret passage in Liluoyuan extends in all directions, and there are many forks. Since you can go to the imperial palace, you must go to Qionglinyuan in the west of the city.

But the question is, where should they move their reinforcements?Going to Qionglin Court alone, isn't it self-inflicted?
Li Mingji was also thinking about this problem.

At that time Xiao Sui invaded the capital, but did not kill Emperor Yong, besides, Emperor Yong was not an incompetent person, so he was not worried about Emperor Yong's safety.The only thing he wants to do is to guard the little princess and prevent anyone from taking her away.

The chest was suddenly empty, Li Mingji raised his eyes, and saw the little princess half-kneeling on the bed, opening her most precious dowry, and holding a brocade box in his arms.

"Li Mingji," Shu Yao shook the brocade box as if offering a treasure, and jumped off the bed, "Look."

Inside was a jade talisman engraved with crouching tiger patterns.

To be precise, it is a soldier talisman.

Although Emperor Yong appointed Li Mingji as the commander of the Imperial City Division, Li Mingji was only responsible for sorting out information to Emperor Yong. The real chief of the Imperial City Division was Emperor Yong himself.Without Emperor Yong's edict, he couldn't touch the people in the Imperial City Division.

But the soldier talisman in the little princess's hand can directly mobilize the most elite upper fourth army in the forbidden army, which is equivalent to the core force of the entire imperial city, all in the hands of the little princess.

"Is this okay?"

Emperor Yong trusted the little princess so far, and left such important things with the little princess.The little princess did not live up to his trust.

But she didn't know that as long as the person she was facing had a little bit of unruly intentions, this military talisman would become someone else's wedding dress.

Li Mingji held Shu Yao's hand.

He didn't touch the soldier talisman, but wrapped the little princess's petite and soft hand in his palm.The girl's trusting eyes were like honey wrapped in a sharp coat, piercing sharply into his chest, and the icing slowly melted in his heart, painful and sweet.

"it is good."

He said in a low voice, "Ming Ji will definitely live up to the princess's entrustment."

……

Qionglin Court, Wenxi Hall.

Wenxitang is not a house, but a small courtyard with three entrances and corridors on three sides, with a large open space in the middle, where these new candidates wait for Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong came in with Zheng Lian and Lu Ye, and sat on the main seat, while the voices of "See Your Majesty" came one after another.

The prince bowed his head and stood beside Emperor Yong, without saying a word.

A few days ago, in the case of Dou Wenxiao and the imperial examination, most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were imprisoned, and the family of Dou's family were also imprisoned.Empress Dou, who was the only one who could help them, had long been sent to Anshun Palace to think about her faults, and she has not been able to stay behind closed doors. The Dou Mansion had to ask someone to come to the prince.

But the prince couldn't respond to them either.

The last time these officials asked him to deliver a message to Emperor Yong, the crown prince stayed in the imperial study for a while before being kicked out by Emperor Yong without finishing his sentence.What the Dou family did this time has touched Emperor Yong's bottom line, how can he help the Dou family to intercede again?

Even the in-laws of the Dou family and the prime minister Zheng Lian never mentioned the imperial examination case, let alone the prince.Emperor Yong's willingness to bring him to Qionglin Garden was already a blessing in misfortune to him.

"My gentlemen, please rise up."

Emperor Yong smiled, his brows that had been locked for many days finally relaxed.He personally assessed every official, and the people here are all carefully selected by him, the people he really needs.

"Everyone, after the beginning of spring in March, I will order to re-revise the imperial examinations. According to the suggestions of Zhou Rong and Zhang Rong, the system of "fuzzy names" and "transcription" will be promulgated throughout the country. That is, all test papers will be sealed and copied by the transcription officer. Organize and review. In addition, I will build a tribute courtyard in the east of the city, and separate a department from the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of the national imperial examinations..."

After all, Emperor Yong looked down: "Do you have any suggestions, Zhu Qing?"

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!"

A man who was over thirty years old and wearing a blue gown stood up and said: "I think it is unreasonable to divide the examination into Jinshi and various subjects. You might as well delete all subjects, only set up Jinshi, and increase the number of subjects. The content of the Jinshi examination..."

He talked eloquently and quoted scriptures, which made Emperor Yong nod frequently.The prince looked at this plainly dressed man in disbelief, as if he hadn't thought that such words would come from the mouth of a self-recommended official.

Academically, the prince has always been somewhat conceited.Although he was always criticized by his mother in the palace, he was diligent and studious. Among all the noble children, he was always the one who did the best homework.In the eyes of the prince, these officials from the common people are too far away from the court, unlike the children of the nobles, how can they know how to govern the world?

The prince was in a trance for a moment, then rubbed his eyes, as if a black shadow flashed past, with a sound of "Puff", the man who was still talking just now widened his eyes, and fell limply on the ground.

A feathered arrow pierced his chest.

"Shhhh-"

One after another, the arrows fell like heavy rain.People fled around, only to find that there were corridors on three sides, and the only door that could go out had been seized by officers and soldiers, with cold long knives hanging in front of their eyes, as if a death talisman was hanging above their heads.

"Escort! Escort!"

Yin Fu hurriedly protected Emperor Yong to retreat, Xie Yanzhou pulled out a feathered arrow as a weapon, and stood in front of Emperor Yong, stopping many arrows flying towards him.However, after a rain of arrows, there were still more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all of whom were newly appointed officials today.

The door behind was also sealed.

Emperor Yong squinted his eyes, staring at the only two calm people in Wenxi Hall - Zheng Lian and Lu Ye.A group of heavily armed officers and soldiers filed in and quickly surrounded Wenxitang.

The leather boots of officers and soldiers trampled over the corpses on the ground, and the surviving officials were constantly cornered like lambs waiting to be slaughtered
Xie Yanzhou looked at the leader in disbelief: "Grandfather, Uncle Kou?"
