admiration

The boy was covered in cold sweat, he was so frightened that he hid behind the crowd, he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of meeting Mo Yichi's piercing eyes.

Instigated by Mo Yanchi, Ye Min has been standing silently behind the boy, just waiting for when he will be caught, so that Mo Yanchi can come and kill others.

But Mo Yichi didn't take any action, after finishing speaking, he took tea and drank leisurely.The few servants below who had no master in their eyes stood for a long time, and they inevitably felt resentment in their hearts. They couldn't help complaining a few words. on the ground.

The man said angrily: "Your Highness, this slave has never done anything wrong, what do you mean?"

"Slap the mouth thirty." Mo Yanchi said.

The guard didn't dare to hesitate too much, he raised his hand and began to slap his mouth, Mo Yanchi cast a glance, and said to the guard who didn't exert any force: "If you don't have the strength to slap your mouth, the king will tell Father tomorrow to change the guards." , you don’t have to serve the royal family anymore.”

The guard raised his hand for a moment, and then slapped him fiercely in the next second, and the man's face immediately swelled up.

Hearing the sound of slaps, the people present felt uneasy in their hearts, and those who still held grudges immediately closed their teeth tightly and dared not speak again.

Not long after, the man had received thirty slaps, and his face, which was still pretty, became horrible, and even lost two teeth.

Mo Yanchi didn't stop because of this, Xiao Zhijin only came twice before someone tipped off that he had to clean up the house so as not to endanger him.Mo Yanchi waved his hand, and wrote casually: "This person has no one in his eyes, he will destroy his life contract immediately and be kicked out of the palace."

"Yes!" The two guards bowed their heads and dragged the man away.

The rest of the people, except for Ye Min, dared not show their anger, for fear that they would suffer disaster.The so-called body deeds are their credentials as slaves. If the body deeds are destroyed, no one will dare to use them in the future, and even food and clothing will be a problem.

Mo Yanchi obviously didn't intend to make an example, so he put on a show and gave up.Instead, they began to call out one by one, listed their usual words and deeds one by one, and then punished them one by one, or punished or expelled them, without mercy.

The heads of those who hadn't been called almost fell to the ground, and the boy who was glared at by Zhu Qiming was even more frightened. He wanted to slip away in the chaos, but Ye Min's eyes were quick and he caught him. return.

Seeing this, Mo Yanchi didn't say anything, and after finishing off the people in the house one by one, he said leisurely: "Ye Min, bring them here."

Ye Min nodded, and dragged the people forward. The rest of the people had noticed the small commotion behind them at first, but now seeing Mo Yanchi yelling, they cast their eyes on the boy.

The young man was held by two guards, unable to move, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, this servant did nothing wrong."

"is it?"

Mo Yichi raised his hand and asked Ye Min to look for the evidence that he usually kept, one by one, and read it in public, the boy who was still stubborn turned pale, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness should trust your servant! "

"Whether I have been wronged or not is clear to the king. Just by murdering the prince, this king can tear your corpse into thousands of pieces." Mo Yanchi said coldly.

The little servant panicked: "The slave has never done anything to harm the master, why does His Highness slander the slave?"

Mo Yanchi smiled, "It's easy for me to kill you, why bother to slander you."

The young man was still thinking about arguing, but Mo Yanchi waved his hand, cut off his words, and said: "Come here, you will be punished with a stick for a hundred times. If you die, you will throw it to the mass grave to feed the dogs. If you are alive, you will beat him again. Beat to death."

"Yes!"

The rest of the people that the eldest prince put in were silent, listening to the heart-piercing cries of that person, they lowered their heads even more, for fear of harming themselves.

The second prince, who has always been ignorant of the affairs of the mansion, did not seem to intend to end this. He looked at the few people left and suddenly realized that there was almost no one in the mansion except Ye Min, who was bestowed by Emperor Hongzhi. people.

He stared at them, stood there thinking for a long time, finally called Ye Min, whispered a few words to him, and left.

Ye Min got the order and was very motivated. He immediately dismissed those restless people in the mansion, and then went to the slave market to pick a few people who were pleasing to the eye to serve.Since these people didn't know their character yet, Ye Min didn't let them get close to Mo Yichi's back room, so as not to cause disaster.

Mo Yanchi's action today was obviously a declaration of war with the eldest prince. Although he has no power and power now, it is enough to see that Mo Yanchi really has the support of Wei Ling's pro-lord.

If it is said that the First Prince is not happy to see this, then Ye Min is definitely what he wants to see the most in this world. He waited for him for three years and finally ushered in this day.From now on, it may be more difficult than now, but if he can fulfill his master's last wish and help the second prince to ascend to the throne, even if he dies, he will have no regrets.

Ye Min was busy as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Mo Yanchi couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

The next day, Zhang Huangbang, now top.

No. [-] scholar, Wangxiangtai Xiao Zhijin

Second place, Qin Huilan, Qinling County

Exploring the flowers, looking at the hometown and the Taijiang River at night

……

There was a list of emperors, and everyone was eager to move. The eldest prince originally wanted to go to Linzhang Academy to meet Xiao Zhijin. As soon as he got into the carriage, Concubine Jing came to order him to enter the palace immediately.

At the same time, a holy order was sent out of the palace under the order of Emperor Hongzhi.

On the other hand, Linzhang Academy, since the announcement of the imperial list, most people began to pack up their few pockets and left Beijing with regrets, while a small number of people waited anxiously in the lobby, waiting for this letter that determined their future. decree.

Soon, Eunuch Li, who was beside Emperor Hongzhi, arrived at Linzhang Academy accompanied by eight imperial guards.

All living beings knelt down and listened to Eunuch Li read the imperial decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, summoned: Hongzhi 16th year Enke Palace Examination, Wangxiangtai talented Xiao Zhijin ranked first in high school, awarded Jinshi and rank, awarded Imperial Academy to compile, Qinling County Qin Huilan and Wangxiang Taijiang were bestowed with a Jinshi background, with a Jinshi background, and with the Hanlin Academy editing, hereby make it known to the world, and the whole country celebrates it, and admires it."

Xiao Zhijin received the imperial decree as a representative, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch."

Eunuch Li laughed and said: "Xiao Zhuangyuan is being polite. The emperor ordered that the champion, the second place, and Tanhua will participate in the Luming Banquet tomorrow. Jiang Zhiwan will be appointed as the envoy of Tanhua, and he will visit the garden to celebrate and welcome the champion."

Talented scholar Jiang Zhiwan nodded: "Yes."

In the past, all the flower hunters came from afar, and most of them were unfamiliar with Beijing, so the emperor ordered him to fold the flowers in the famous garden. Wan hands, so as not to delay the time.

If there are three people in the election, the one who suffers the most is Qin Huilan, who is second in the list. First, he was robbed of the limelight by Xiao Zhijin's number one scholar, and then Jiang Zhiwan went to visit and present flowers to cover up his demeanor. The two are from the same hometown. It made everyone pay more attention to it, but they ignored Qin Huilan, who was the second place in the list.

After Xiao Zhijin and others sent Eunuch Li back, many people who failed the exam surrounded him one after another. Some people stretched out their hands to touch the imperial decree, so as to gain the dragon spirit of the emperor and bless him to be a high school student in the palace examination three years later.

Holding the imperial decree in one hand, Xiao Zhijin pulled the people around him over with the other, and said, "Then you also want to get in touch with me, and I'll wait for you to be the top student in high school in three years."

The people next to him booed, "Then I want it too."

"I don't want the champion, just give me a Tanhua. Tanhua presents flowers, and let Miss Jingzhong see me as handsome." After finishing speaking, the man cast his eyes on Jiang Wan who was eating snacks.

Jiang Wan raised her head and stared at it, said: "You look shabby, and you won't be allowed to go to the garden if you win Tanhua."

The people around burst into laughter, and the man laughed and scolded: "You have no conscience, my brother has taken care of you a lot."

"Go, go, don't take advantage of me, go and take advantage of your family's champion."

Another person said: "Isn't Xiao Zhijin from your family? Wangxiang Terrace is a treasured place of geomantic omen, but it actually raised these two people, and one Jia occupied two places."

"That's right."

Jiang Wan said mysteriously, "Want to know?"

"think."

"I won't tell you!"

Xiao Zhijin looked at him and smiled knowingly.

Jiang Wan is not from Wangxiangtai, but from Jiangcheng, but she can't reveal her identity yet, so she can only fabricate a false identity, and step into the court step by step, looking for the truth she wants.

Back then, I left my hometown and fought alone for this moment.

Qin Huilan looked gloomyly at the two people surrounded in the middle. Someone came over and wanted to say a few compliments, but unexpectedly he looked at them contemptuously and walked away with his sleeves thrown.

He has always been pretentious, and after he won the first prize in the competition, he was even more complacent and looked down on anyone. Now that Xiao Zhijin has won the first prize, he is probably going crazy.

That person also failed in the rankings. Not afraid of offending Qin Huilan, he said: "The loser is still not convinced. With such a magnanimity, it's no wonder that he can become the number one."

"What did you say!" Qin Huilan turned her head and said angrily.

The man said, "It's you."

Qin Huilan said: "You are just a failed examiner, so what face do you have to criticize me?"

"At least I won't be like some people who can't afford to lose."

"you……"

Xiao Zhijin came over, pulled him away, and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay!" Everyone agreed, but no one paid any attention to Qin Huilan.

Qin Huilan looked at Xiao Zhijin, who was walking in the middle of the stars holding the moon, and couldn't help gritting his teeth, and suddenly remembered what the eldest prince had told someone a few days ago, to become the eldest prince's staff and use it for him, if he inherits the great rule , Then rise to the top, get promoted and make a fortune.

Now that the government situation is clear, the second prince has no will of the king, has no power and power, and is nothing to be afraid of. The other princes are still young and can't make any troubles. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of crown prince will fall to the eldest prince in the future hand.

The reason for recruiting staff is firstly to be just in case, and secondly to train talents for the future.

The eldest prince's wishful thinking was cracking, and Qin Huilan was willing to use it. When he got an official position in the future, he would be the first to get rid of Xiao Zhijin.

At this moment, His Royal Highness, the eldest prince who was missed by Qin Huilan, rushed into the palace. The maid beside Concubine Jing had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw Zhu Qiming, she rushed to greet her and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is in a bad mood today." good."

Zhu Qiming looked cold, nodded and said: "Understood."

The maid Fushen looked worriedly at the palace, and then left to arrange for someone to serve tea.

Concubine Jing, as a noble concubine in the palace, was tactful and courteous in her dealings with others, modest and gentle. She was the only one who was strict with her child. I feel that Concubine Jing doesn't like him.
