Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Winter turns to spring, and in a blink of an eye it’s already spring.

Yiman was in the house reading the newspaper.

"Princess, princess, s—it's already spring, why is it still so cold?"

"Spring is early this year, and it will be next month. With such cold weather, we must inform the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel to make arrangements in advance."

Lu Bo's hands that were shrunk in his sleeves slowly stretched out to warm themselves by the fire, "Yes, but princess, how do you know that it is Taifu Mi who is presiding over this Spring Festival? Although Taifu Mi is one of the three princes, now he only has the honorific title."

Yiman looked at the memorial and said, "The prince's young master was disheartened and asked himself to leave the capital. The civil service is the territory of aristocratic families, and it is not easy to directly recruit those who are left to help. Now in the three provinces and six departments, is there anyone more suitable than the master? ?”

Lu Bo nodded with sudden realization, "There are many merchants' sons who secretly know your method, and only a small number of them are doing it. It's just that they are separated from their household registration or adopted, which is really difficult for those merchants and students."

"If you take the scientific examination just to honor your ancestors and gain a false reputation, your original intention will be wrong. If you have no determination, your chances of becoming a good official will be low.

The emperor was so focused on the Spring Festival New Deal and attached great importance to the Spring Festival. This was the only way to temporarily protect the sons of merchants from being affected by the aristocratic family. "

"Yes."

Lu Bo hesitated for a moment, "Princess, I heard that the Queen is currently thinking of ways to renovate the Heyu Palace, and she even had a falling out with His Majesty two days ago."

Yiman smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Queen to have any sense of integrity. Last year, when I broke into the palace with a sword, the Queen must have guessed something. In addition, no one took her as an outlet to vent her frustration, so the Heyu Palace was naturally a hole. .

Let the queen make trouble. Anyway, the emperor will not abolish his wife. If he abolishes his first wife for a beloved concubine, the civil servants and censors will not let him go. "

"Yes."

"By the way, I heard that the Seventh Prince didn't return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year?"

Lu Bo smiled and said, "It has become known to everyone that he wants to recognize the princess as his mother. His Majesty reprimanded him several times and even made him the county king. He did not return to the capital to express his gratitude. He has been 'ill'. "

Yiman smiled and shook his head slightly, "I just don't know why he changed so quickly."

Yiman suddenly stopped writing, "By the way, this time Chunwei asked Cheng Youping to see him and summon her to Beijing."

"The slave will do it now."

Suddenly smelling a fruity aroma, Yiman squinted his eyes and looked back to see Zhou Yu coming in from the side door carrying a delicate snack box.

"Don't let the princess cook for me anymore."

There was a faint smile in Zhou Yu's eyes, "My mother wanted to make it and asked me to deliver it."

Yiman took it out with a smile, took a sip and said, "Thank you, Princess, for me."

Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

Yiman read the memorial and said, "Last time I heard from the princess that you had plans to join the court. Are you going to participate in this spring ceremony?"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, "The genealogy of the Zhou family is almost finished. This time the genealogy will reorganize the power of the Zhou family, so we must not relax. If I want to be an official, I can do it anytime."

Yiman smiled and touched Zhou Yu's arm, "No wonder you have been running outside the capital before. Are you too conceited? You can be an official anytime you want."

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Yu helped Yiman straighten his hair, "I see Chunwei, he must be the number one scholar."

Even though he knew what he said was true, Yiman still let out a sigh.She grabbed his arm, moved her hand up slowly, stared at his face, swallowed, and pushed him away.

"Hey, beauty spoils the country. Beauty spoils the country. If you stay here, how can I have the time to read the memorial?"

The smile in Zhou Yu's eyes deepened, and he held Yiman's hand, "Then what do you want?"

Yiman grabbed Zhou Yu's wrist and pushed him to the desk, with a smile in his eyes and a quick glance, "What do you think?"

The tips of Zhou Yu's ears turned red, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were filled with encroachment.

Yiman shifted his gaze and looked at Zhou Yu's red ears. He couldn't help but touch them, "You usually act like an immortal in front of outsiders. Why are your ears so red when you get close to me?"

Zhou Yu suddenly grabbed Yiman's wrist and stared at Yiman.

Yiman looked away and cleared his throat, "Have you found out what I asked you to check? Is there anything else besides Xia Tongyi's apparent life experience?"

Zhou Yu sighed, and the warm breath was spreading on the side of Man Man's neck. Man Man leaned unnaturally on the back of the chair, holding Zhou Yu's hand, waiting for him to speak. "Xia Nuan has been very cautious since she entered the palace. Then suddenly one day, she ran out of the Heyu Palace covered in blood. After that, her temperament changed drastically and her body became sickly. His Majesty's love for her deepened day by day."

"What happened that day?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "Everyone in the Heyu Palace had been replaced. Even the imperial doctor who was at the imperial hospital that day was gone."

Yiman sighed, "It seems like it's the emperor's fault again."

"How to say?"

"The one who can do this must be the emperor. Xia Youyi ran out covered in blood. It doesn't necessarily mean that the emperor has some perverted hobbies."

On that spring day, the light in the examination room was dazzling.

The official on duty raised his hand to cover his eyes and looked up in the direction of the sun, "Why is it suddenly so hot today?"

The guard at the door took advantage of his midday nap to fan himself and hid in the shade, "Who can say otherwise? It's so hot in the examination room."

"Hey, it's finally the last day."

When the papers were finally handed in, the candidates walked out of the gate of Gongyuan.

Suddenly, a group of candidates also filed out from the other direction of the Gongyuan gate. Both groups were dressed as scholars and looked very embarrassed. They had obviously endured six or seven days.

The two groups looked at each other, and finally someone spoke first.

"Is there any other gate to Gongyuan?"

Naturally, there are other exits to Gongyuan, but the only door specifically for candidates to enter and exit is the main entrance.

Then how did another group of candidates, dozens of them, appear from another direction?

Miao Qi, the doctor in the Ministry of War who was responsible for leading the troops to guard this time, saw that something was wrong in the examination room. He made a prompt decision and surrounded Gongyuan and drove all the candidates into Gongyuan.

The family members who came to pick up the children from each family were panicked and kept asking questions.

"Something happened in Chunwei?"

What could happen to Chunwei?It's nothing more than someone being involved or colluding with others to cheat. Wouldn't it be enough to catch them?
With a slight frown between his brows, Han Yan glanced at it and quickly lowered his head and held his hands.

"Something happened, and it was very strange."

"Speak straight."

"Yes, today is the last day of spring. When I came out, some candidates suddenly rushed out from the side of Gongyuan. It was found that they were a group of candidates who were absent from the exam.

Master Miao of the Ministry of War interrogated several candidates who did not come out from the main entrance of Gongyuan. They said that they entered the examination room, stayed for seven days, and wrote the examination papers.

However, Taifu Mi personally took the test papers through the examination papers, and there were indeed 57 missing test papers, which were the group of candidates who came out from the Gongyuan. "

Yiman put down his pen and looked at Han Yan in confusion, "I remember that even the government offices next to Gongyuan were cleared in advance. Several doors in Gongyuan except the main entrance were blocked by fighting. How could there be candidates appearing from other directions?"

Han Yan was also puzzled, "That's right. Something went wrong in Chun Wei. General Yuan in the capital has sent people to surround the Gongyuan."

"I can trust the master's character. It's possible that he can drink secretly, but it's absolutely impossible to connive at the officials below to collude. What about the military department responsible for encircling and guarding?"

Han Yan looked embarrassed, "I don't know, we are surrounded now, and Mr. Miao of the Ministry of War is famous for being selfless, so your Majesty will let him be responsible for the security of Gongyuan."

"Then the problem lies with the candidates."

"Weichen also feels that, but the problem is that the candidates all feel that they have taken the exam, and the candidates who come out from the side can prove it to each other. The patrolling officials also checked the ink marks on the hands and the marks on the bodies of those non-Gongyuan candidates. It is true that It looks like he participated in the Spring Festival."

Yiman sneered, "That's strange. No one lied. Could it be that he encountered a ghost?"

Han Yan was silent, not daring to speak, and tapped the table twice with his knuckles.

"The strange thing must be in those non-Gongyuan candidates. Except for such a big matter, it will definitely be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow. You should submit a memorial and recommend the investigators to us or officials of the Zhou family."

"Yes." (End of this chapter)
