In the case of Xun Ruobai teaming up with others to sell fake exam questions, the Dali Temple Minister and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice interrogated together, but for two consecutive days, there was no result of the interrogation.

The question seller who had direct contact with the candidates insisted that it was Xun Ruobai who did it, but Xun Ruobai refused to admit that it was related to him. And Xun Ruobai is the son of the Duke of Qing, and he also holds an official position in the court, so he can't beat him into a trick, so he finally gave up.

But now that he was at a loss and could not report to the emperor, the worried Minister of the Ministry of Punishment finally took people to the Duke of Qing's mansion again to search Xun Ruobai's room.

After this rainy day, the weather is gradually rising. The vegetation in the Changping Prince’s Mansion is lush and lush, and the color is particularly clear and attractive, especially the peach trees planted outside Qifangju, which are also full of peach blossoms at the moment, and the flowers are shining brightly , is really lovely.

In the past two days, Wei Changgong went to investigate the reason why Ashina hid in the capital, and closely monitored each other's every move, so Xiao Yuanjing was able to calm down and arrange his own affairs.

Xiao Yuanjingzhen in front of the peach blossom tree cut the flower branches with scissors. In a bunch of peach blossom branches, some were in full bloom, and some were just about to bloom, which complemented each other perfectly. He turned around and handed the cut flower branches to Lidong behind him:

"You can find a glazed vase later and put the peach blossoms in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. If you want to hand them over to the Shizi yourself, just say that the flowers are blooming well. See if there is less color in his Yanyuetai, then send them to the prince. He ordered."

Lidong responded, and seeing Xiao Yuanjing put down the scissors in his hand, he retreated holding the peach blossoms.

Ye Zhen watched Li Dong's leaving back, and then came from the corridor: "Your Highness."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at his appearance and asked with a smile: "Is everything all right?"

Ye Zhen nodded in response, but her face was still a little puzzled: "Your Highness, if you do this, you may not be able to save Shizi Xun, but..."

Xiao Yuanjing patted him on the shoulder, and shook his head helplessly: "When have you ever seen me lose? Someone said, don't fight unprepared battles, understand."

Ye Zhen nodded after thinking about it.

Only then did Xiao Yuanjing smile: "It's about time, you go and bring some snacks I prepared in the morning, and go into the palace to see Father, don't make him angry."

Seemingly understanding, Ye Zhen followed behind Xiao Yuanjing to get the snacks he baked earlier in the morning.

After Xiao Yuanjing left the palace, he moved all the affairs of Chengqian Palace out of the palace, except for the bread kiln outside the small kitchen.

Speaking of which, within two days after Xiao Yuanjing arrived at Prince Changping's mansion, electric lights were installed in the garden of the mansion, and simple telephones were installed in every house and courtyard, especially Xiao Yuanjing was good at baking. The pastry immediately captured the group of people in the back kitchen.

Originally, because Xiao Yuanjing's meals were relatively simple, the group of people felt that they couldn't get much money, but gradually they could feel that Xiao Yuanjing was really powerful.

They can take them to heart in everything they do, and they have their share in the pastries that have never been baked. They even asked Xiao Yuanjing for advice on how to use the bread kiln to cook the bottom of the hot pot in Xiao Yuanjing Sometimes, take them to eat hot pot together.

Within two days, Quan Changping's impression of Xiao Yuanjing changed greatly.

What is the oil and water for buying vegetables is not important, the important thing is to learn to cook new dishes with Xiao Yuanjing, the errands are free, and you can eat a lot of good things and see a lot of novelties, which has completely turned your life upside down previous decades.

They even regarded Xiao Yuanjing as a god, and there was nothing that Xiao Yuanjing couldn't do.

As soon as the carriage of Changping Prince's Mansion arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw the eunuch hurrying to the palace, seeing Xiao Yuanjing's carriage, he saluted from a distance.

Ye Zhen frowned when she saw that the eunuch who came was not the emperor's friend Cheng, "His Royal Highness, the one who passed the decree is Eunuch Cheng."

Xiao Yuanjing curled his lips into a smile: "It's okay."

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing's calm and relaxed appearance, Ye Zhen felt that there was nothing to worry about, and followed Xiao Yuanjing to meet the eunuch who delivered the order.

Seeing Xiao Yuanjing, the eunuch said: "It's a coincidence that King Changping is here, His Majesty ordered a servant to invite you into the palace."

Xiao Yuanjing smiled and said: "I just baked some fresh cakes and some pastries this morning. I thought I made them myself, so I sent some to my father and mother. I wonder how my mother is doing now?"

The eunuch nodded and smiled: "The empress is under the care of an imperial physician, and she asks for peace pulses every day, and Her Majesty also cares about her, so there is nothing else except a little bit of nausea."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll go to see my mother after delivering the cakes to my father."

The eunuch bowed and nodded, and went to Wende Hall to meet Xiao Yuanjing.

In the Wende Hall at this moment, both Dali Siqing and Xingbu Shangshu are in the hall, and Cheng Youzhi seems to be kneeling in the hall, Jiang Yan stared at all the people in the hall with a solemn expression, until he heard Xiao Yuanjing coming, Jiang Yan's expression Only then did it ease up.

The emperor said: "Announce it."

"Xuan, King Changping will see you."

It was said that the eunuch opened his voice, and Xiao Yuanjing, who was outside the hall, carried the food box and walked into the hall. Ye Zhen was a little worried: "Your Highness."

Xiao Yuanjing took the food box and smiled at him, "Wait for me to come out to see the queen mother."

Ye Zhen took a step back, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yuanjing, and watched Xiao Yuanjing step into the Wende Palace.

Xiao Yuanjing walked into the hall, glanced at the people in the hall one by one, and then smiled and handed the food box to Jiang Yan: "Father, my son made some cakes and pastries today, so I personally sent them to Father to taste. taste."

The emperor's complexion was not very good at first, but seeing Xiao Yuanjing now, he felt relieved.

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Cheng Youzhi who was kneeling in the palace, and asked a little puzzled: "Father, is Eunuch Cheng making Father angry? Father, I know that after Eunuch Cheng entered the palace since childhood, he has He has been serving you by your side all the time, no matter what, he is a caring person, and Eunuch Cheng is cautious in doing things and always considers the father, so the father should spare him."

As soon as Xiao Yuanjing's words fell, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments first opened his mouth and said:

"His Royal Highness Prince Changping is really kind-hearted. He even pleaded with His Majesty for a servant."

Xiao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and then at Cheng Youzhi, with a particularly bright smile on his face: "Since Mr. Shangshu knows that I am kind-hearted, you should know, let alone Cheng Gonggong, even if it is Your Shang Shu committed a capital crime, and I will also plead with my father."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yuanjing, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while.

On the contrary, the emperor was a little unhappy. He looked up at Xiao Yuanjing and said, "Jing'er, you know about the fact that Xun Shizi colluded with others to sell fake exam questions during the Chunwei scientific examination."

Xiao Yuanjing looked serious, bowed to the emperor and said: "Father, my minister knows about this, and my minister thinks that Shizi Xun would not do this, he must have been wronged, he is a son of a family, and he has a burden. As a court official, I will inherit the title of Duke Qing in the future, and I will never sell scientific examination questions just because of a moment of greed, or fake examination questions, my servant will definitely not believe it."

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's words, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment snorted coldly in his heart, and couldn't help but bow to the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Changping colluded with Xun Shizi to do this, so naturally he won't admit it."

Xiao Yuanjing turned to look at him in surprise: "Why do you want to slander me, father and son have never done it."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Your Majesty, among the evidence presented today is the evidence that was searched in the hidden place of Xun Shizi's study. His Royal Highness Changping colluded with Xun Shizi and used Chengyou as an internal response to steal His Majesty's recent reading. Use this as an inference to draw up exam questions and sell them to students who come to the capital to take the exam."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and couldn't help sneering: "Master Shangshu's evidence, it can't be fake, why don't I remember that I did this, besides, I also know that selling exam questions is a capital crime, as a prince, How could you know the law and break the law?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "Because your highness, you want to take the opportunity to make money. If the exam questions are correct, once these students are successful, they will be the disciples of the Changping Palace in the future. You should be the first in everything, and you will only be in the heart of Changping. , not Your Majesty. If the test questions are fake, you will just collect a fortune and use it to buy people's hearts. These remarks are clearly explained in the letters!"

Xiao Yuanjing and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice faced each other with their eyes facing each other, it could be said that it was like dry firewood meeting a raging fire, only a little bit of friction was needed to catch fire.

Xiao Yuanjing thought in his heart that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was just a young man in his fifties, and his young and strong body would definitely not be at a disadvantage if he fought, especially since he was the prince, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice dared not If you fight back, you will definitely win.

Seeing the change in Xiao Yuanjing's eyes, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help but sneered and said, "Why didn't your Highness stop arguing, I'm afraid I was right."

Xiao Yuanjing turned his head to look at the emperor. His expression was the same as when he entered the palace. He was unpredictable and unpredictable. He just pondered over and over the evidence in his hand, and then said:

"Cheng Youzhi, you have been with me for almost 30 years."

The way to become friends: "32 years and three months."

The emperor put the letter in his hand on the table, raised his eyes and glanced at each of them, with a little sarcasm in his eyes, he couldn't help asking:

"Ministry of Justice, you said that King Changping intends to take advantage of the sale of exam questions to make connections in the court, right?"

Minister of the Ministry of Punishments saluted and said: "Return to Your Majesty, this is what I mean."

The emperor sneered, then turned into anger and swept all the evidence on the table into the hall, pointing to the minister of punishment and said:

"Who gave you the courage! Let you bite the prince!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice did not expect the emperor to suddenly become angry, and looked at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor pointed to Xiao Yuanjing and said: "He, Xiao Yuanjing, is my son-in-law and my minister's order. I might as well tell you that he will still be my crown prince in the future. Even if he doesn't fight for everything, I will give it to you." He! But this son of mine is unpromising and hopeless. He has no rights in his mind and no desire to compete for positions. He only studies things related to his appetite all day long. I believe it, but if you say that he wants to put people in the court and use them for him, then you are making a big mistake!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked up at the furious emperor in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Yuanjing: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what I said is true, these evidences..."

Emperor: "These evidences are all nonsense!"

Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly said: "Father, don't be angry, don't let yourself get angry, my son is not promising, but I still hope that Father can take care of his health."

Don't be so angry that you can't afford to get sick, then he, the son-in-law, won't be able to be the shopkeeper, and will have to shoulder the state affairs.

Think about the burden on the emperor, but taking into account the life and death of the entire country, he can't do it.

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's persuasion, the emperor snorted coldly and sat back on the dragon chair.

Xiao Yuanjing glanced sideways at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and then saluted the emperor: "Father, my son is in charge of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and manages six departments and 24 divisions. Naturally, the Ministry of Punishment is also under the jurisdiction of my son. I have seen the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment before. Although he is upright, he is not so eager for quick success. When he got a piece of evidence, he came to sue the emperor without going through a thorough investigation. My son felt that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment must have been instructed by someone else. Please also ask Father to listen to his rebuttal."

After Xiao Yuanjing finished speaking, he smiled at the emperor, turned his head and looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with his eyes: I am not wrong, your Shangshu committed a capital crime, and I will also plead with the emperor , I am loyal enough, right?

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was overwhelmed by Xiao Yuanjing's raised eyebrows, he felt depressed, and a wave of true energy bumped against his chest.
