At the court meeting the next day, the emperor was really furious.

This Chunwei is the first scientific examination after the Spring Branch New Deal, and the emperor will definitely pay attention to it.When something goes wrong this time, the first one to cast doubt on the family is the family.

The task of finding out the matter fell into the hands of Hua Xiang and indirectly to Yiman.

After walking out of Hanyuan Hall, Hua Xiang was confused, "Princess, you said that Your Majesty handed the case to Wei Chen, knowing that Wei Chen would report it to you. What do you mean?"

Yiman looked provocatively at the people watching the emperor's group leave, "What's so difficult about this? This case is aimed at Chunke's New Deal, and I have been pushing forward the Chunke New Deal. This is for me to take the old people of the East Palace with me I'm going to charge into battle for him and attack the aristocratic family."

"I see. If that's the case, then my subordinates will make arrangements with the Punishment Department."

"Okay, you go ahead and make arrangements. I'll take people directly to Gongyuan to have a look. After all, my reputation among folk literati is pretty good. They have difficult conditions there, so I'll bring some things in to take a look."

When they arrived at Gongyuan, a depressing atmosphere enveloped them.

I saw officers and soldiers surrounding the Gongyuan, with only a few catkins on the ground.

Yiman arrived at the gate of Gongyuan with his ceremonial carriage. General Yuan, who was stationed in the capital, received the news and came out to greet him.

"See Princess."

Yiman responded and raised his hand. Behind him, Xiao Shenzi led someone to carry out a bunch of food items.

This General Yuan was once a subordinate of the Jin family. He had strict military discipline and fought on the frontier. Not long after he came back to report on his duties, he had just heard the rumors that the eldest princess was in Beijing.

"Princess, the Gongyuan is closed. No entry or exit is allowed except by imperial decree."

Yiman glanced at him and said, "I just send some money to show my love for the people. Besides, my teacher Mr. Mi is still here. He is old, and I must fulfill my filial piety."

There are many students in the Gongyuan Academy, and General Yuan also learned about the rumors about the eldest princess from the mouth of a minor official.It's just that the military orders are like mountains. Although I know that the princess is benevolent to the people and loves things, she really cannot violate the imperial edict.

Yiman frowned slightly and looked at General Yuan with a half-smile, "This is not a military center. I hope you understand clearly. Since Your Majesty has given Hua Xiang the right to investigate this case, you are secretly allowing me to intervene. I think you just When you come back from the border to report on your duties, you will not be held accountable, but get out of the way."

General Yuan was also hesitant, frowning, thinking of the scene at the border, gritted his teeth, and stepped aside.

Yiman glanced at General Yuan one more time in confusion. At first glance, this kind of person would not give in at all when faced with military orders. He thought he was going to use force, but why did he get out of the way so easily?

Yiman led people to the door and glanced at General Yuan from the corner of his eye. "Xiao Shenzi, lead people to pile things behind the door, and let the candidates pick them up after we leave. Lu Bo, follow me in, and leave the rest." Your Majesty is waiting at the door."

"Yes."

Placing things at the door eliminated the risk of outsiders colluding and gave General Yuan time to check the charges.

After saying that, Yiman walked into Gongyuan with Lu Bo.

There was a vague smell floating in the air, and Lu Bo subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, "Princess, it smells so strong."

As someone who has experienced spring, Yiman sighed, "It must be the sour smell. The candidates haven't bathed in seven or eight days, and they all use Gongtong."

The two of them walked through the screen wall of a door and saw Master Mi sitting on the master's chair, drinking wine in the sun.

Yiman chuckled, "Master, you really hid wine in Gongyuan."

Mr. Mi was in a good mood. He looked at Yiman and smiled happily, "I knew you."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Mr. Mi thought of Yiman's identity and what happened this year. His smile suddenly became lighter and he said, "I knew the eldest princess would come today."

Yiman smiled, stepped forward and gave a student salute, "Master, I'm late, does Master suffer?"

Seeing that Yiman was still the same as before, Master Mi rolled his eyes, "Why are you late? I'm not dead yet." Yiman glanced at the official who was eavesdropping in the room, "Master, what's going on?"

Mr. Mi raised his chin and said, "Isn't that what happened? I've asked them all myself. The two groups of examinees, the examiners, the patrolmen, and even me all saw exactly the same thing. But I was right about Fei The candidates who came out of Gongyuan have no impression at all."

Yiman raised his head and glanced at the sun, "This is strange. Even if the candidates who are not from Gongyuan lie together, there must be omissions. There is no reason to ask separately and nothing can be found."

Mr. Mi spread his hands and said, "Yes, until now, the candidates who go out from the non-Gongyuan gate and the examinees who go out from the Gongyuan gate are guarded separately. Even if no mistakes can be made, the candidates who go out from the Feigongyuan gate must have passed the science examination."

Seeing that Master Mi was so sure, he couldn't be wrong.It was impossible not to tell the difference in how many Chunwei examinations he had participated in.

"If you don't believe it, just go and have a look."

Yiman smiled and said, "If you can't get through, ask two people to come to the yard and ask. They're afraid they'll get smoked if they go in."

Mr. Mi laughed loudly and waved. Immediately, a clerk brought an armchair and hurried to call the candidates.

Seeing that the sun was shining a little, Lu Bo opened his umbrella to cover himself.

Each of the two groups of candidates called one, took a quick glance, and immediately lowered his eyes, "Sir, please find a candidate named Cheng. This person has an unusually handsome face, or you can just say that I am looking for her. "

"Yes, I will go now."

The two candidates knew that the eldest princess was here in person on the way here. They were disheveled and had not bathed for seven or eight days, and their faces suddenly turned red.

"See the eldest princess, Thousand Years Thousand Years Old."

Yiman nodded with a smile, "Get up, I know you have been asked many times, but you still have to ask for some details."

Scholar Tang who came out of the gate of the Gongyuan on the left raised his hands and said: "Princess, may I ask."

"When collecting the countermeasures articles, you should have seen the hands or sleeves of the collecting officials up close. Did you notice anything unusual?"

I frowned for two days and shook my head.

"Cheng Youping meets the eldest princess, she is a thousand years old and a thousand years old."

As soon as the voice came out, everyone present except Yiman and Lu Bo were shocked.

This candidate is actually a woman?
"This--"

Mrs. Mi laughed loudly, "Princess, is this your fault?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "Lu Bo, go and move a chair for her. Youping, I brought you clean clothes and utensils. I'll clean them up and put them on later."

"Yes, thank you princess."

Cheng Youping's expression was completely different from the one when she left the palace.

The person has tanned a lot, looks thinner, and is high-spirited. Not to say arrogant, but also a little more energetic, which can distinguish him from ordinary candidates.

What's more important is that he already has experience as an official, and his actions and momentum have already changed.

"Here, she is actually a woman. How is it inappropriate for us to attend the Spring Festival together with a woman?"

He chuckled and said, "Indeed, how can you kill a chicken with a knife? She, a person who has been an official for a year, really degrades herself by taking the exam with you." (End of this chapter)
