After listening to Mr. Yuan's report on the situation in the imperial study that day, Chi Ning only had one feeling, that he really deserved to be Qian Xiaoyu, and that he could escape unscathed under such circumstances.

Chi Ning couldn't help thinking, how did Qian Xiaoyu not be dragged out by Emperor Nianping on the spot?

He thought about it for a long time, and in the end, he could only attribute all this to Nian Pingdi's metaphysics.Although it was lonely to test the supervisor of ceremonies, after all, Emperor Nian Ping did not dare to use this to make trouble directly, and even cowardly suppressed the news.

When the emperor treats him like this, there is no one else.

But both Qian Xiaoyu and Chi Ning know that Emperor Nian Ping's "swallowing his breath" this time does not mean that he will expose it. He is different now, and he will not let Chi Ning go as easily as he did back then. Let Qian Xiaoyu go.He even regarded Qian Xiaoyu's actions as a kind of betrayal, and he felt that he had to make an example to others!

Chi Ning clicked his tongue, no allegiance, where did the betrayal come from?Emperor Nianping really thinks highly of himself.However, Qian Xiaoyu's matter is really difficult to handle.

【Otherwise, why do you think Qian Xiaoyu would so neatly express that she wants to board your big ship? 】Yuan Jun opened his mouth, and truly restored Qian Xiaoyu's mental journey, 【You are identified by Qian Xiaoyu as one of the two biggest invisible forces in the court today.He feels that only by connecting with you and passionately joining Prince Wenchen's team to set things right can he survive. 】

Yuan Jun's original intention was to sow discord.

But what Chi Ning understood was, wow, Qian Xiaoyu thinks highly of me so much, this feeling of being affirmed by the boss is awesome!Chi Ning finally realized that in the past three years, he has not achieved nothing.As a result, Chi Ning's sense of justice once again exploded: [Master Qian is because of what happened to the crown prince, and it is my duty to help him deal with the aftermath. 】

【You really didn't want to be his son? 】 Mr. Yuan expressed strong doubts.

[? ? ? 】Why should I be someone else's son?Is being a father unhappy, or being a matchmaker is not good?

Cough, in short, Chi Ning seriously discussed with Yuan Jun how to end up next.

When an emperor single-mindedly wants to mess with one person, then no one can do anything, and gods and ghosts cannot save him.Without evidence, Emperor Nianping could fabricate evidence for Qian Xiaoyu, not to mention that Qian Xiaoyu was indeed not a perfect eunuch, and the question of "greedy for money" was enough to kill him eight hundred times.

Zhang Jingzhong had accurately evaluated Qian Xiaoyu back then, and sooner or later he would die on Qian Xiaoyu.

Chi Ning took a look at the power he currently possesses, and came to a pretty hurtful conclusion—most of the power in his hands that could help a person of Qian Xiaoyu's level was borrowed.And even Chi Ning didn't need to really ask, he knew that the masters of these powers might not be willing to lend money for Qian Xiaoyu.

Just like Queen Mother Youqin, she definitely has no compassion for Qian Xiaoyu.Moreover, looking at how she treated Chi Ning's master, Eunuch Zhang, one can understand how hard-hearted this old lady is.As loyal as Zhang Jingzhong, even decades of dedicated service could not impress her.Not to mention telling the queen mother that Qian Xiaoyu helped the crown prince so that Emperor Nian Ping hated him. As long as Qian Xiaoyu is useless, the queen mother will not take action.

Ugh.

Chi Ning sighed deeply, Emperor Nianping was not a good person, and the queen mother was not much better, neither he nor Qian Xiaoyu had the fate of being a good boss.

[Even if you find Qian Xiaoyu's use value and can persuade Youqin to help, she may not be able to help you much. 】Yuan Jun comforted Chi Ning, the queen mother is actually a little bit overwhelmed now.

At the previous banquet, Emperor Nianping tested the attitudes of the princes towards him and the crown prince. He originally wanted to cooperate with the combination of exposing everyone's "cut off sons and grandchildren" later to achieve the purpose of winning over brothers and sisters.It's a pity that this plan was ruined by Mr. Yuan, not only that, but also caused a lot of embarrassment, and caused a lot of unhappiness in the court.

The disheartened Emperor Nian Ping did not give up, he did not stop doing two things, and stabbed the queen mother Youqin's actions in front of the vassal king and princess.

This hidden danger finally exploded.

The queen mother is trying to solve the problem by herself. It would be nice if she didn't come to make things difficult for Chi Ning. There is no need to think about how much she can do in Qian Xiaoyu's matter.

[You can actually choose to rebel directly. 】Yuan Jun once again gave his "reactionary" ideas.

[I would like to. ] Chi Ning is also very worried, feeling like his head is going bald.He can rebel, but it's still an old problem. The prince is too young. He has been suppressed by Emperor Nianping for the past three years, and he hasn't done anything big enough to convince the public.

Prince!

It was only then that Chi Ning remembered that the little prince was reborn, he was more cautious in his work, and he didn't dare to stir up troubles with the so-called ability to predict the future.This is very good, neither will you expose yourself, nor will you overestimate your own ability after enjoying the benefits of "unpredictable prophets" time and time again.

That is to say, in the little prince's cognition, the current development has changed somewhat, but most of the incidents have not changed. Maybe Emperor Nian Ping's trial of the Supervisor of Rituals and Qian Xiaoyu's rebellion happened in his previous life.

If it happens, there must be a solution.

Chi Ning decided to shamelessly "plagiarize" his own ideas from his previous life, looking for solutions.How can something between yourself and yourself be called plagiarism, right?

Speaking of which, the prince would borrow money from Qian Xiaoyu's bank when he gambled. There must be a reason why he felt that Qian Xiaoyu was his own.

Chi Ning felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with the prince. He needed to let the prince understand a truth - some people, no matter whether they were one of them in the prince's impression in the previous life, are not necessarily reliable when they are reborn.Because many things the prince learned are likely to be beautified versions, his own information acquisition channels are not reliable enough, and he doesn't have much judgment...you must be more vigilant!

Chi Ning asked Wen Chen for a question, and sure enough, he guessed pretty well.

"Does Your Highness know how we solved this matter?" Chi Ning was basically too lazy to hide that he knew that the prince was reborn, and he didn't even bother to say whether he dreamed or not, and just had a normal conversation.

"In the dream..." But the little prince was still insisting, it was so cute.

Wen Chen lowered his head, extremely frustrated, finally mustered up the courage, and said to Chi Ning: "Qian Xiaoyu is dead, he was beheaded at Caishikou."

This is also one of the things that Wen Chen wanted to change when he was reborn, but he actually didn't know exactly what happened. First, he was young at the time, and second, he was living in a muddled way. His grasp of these old things limited.

"I only know that you said in the dream that you have clearly arranged everything, but you are only a little bit close, but you are on the verge of failure."

Chi Ning nodded, and tried to summarize what the prince said. He and Qian Xiaoyu had a plan, but an accident happened, and Qian Xiaoyu was executed.

Emperor Nianping's method is really getting more and more crazy.

It could only be an order from Emperor Nianping.

Again, Da Qi rarely executes eunuchs who have meritorious service.But Emperor Nianping didn't show affection at all. He could kill Sun Erba who had assisted him for many years, and Qian Xiaoyu was naturally no problem.

But Wen Chen didn't know what kind of plan Chi Ning and Qian Xiaoyu had arranged.

Chi Ning could only ask: "Does Your Highness know why Master Qian was executed?"

"I heard, I heard in a dream, that he participated in the fraud in the examination room and took bribes, so that the illiterate godson became a Jinshi instead of a real man of insight." Wen Chen's original plan was Wait until the autumn of this year begins to prevent Qian Xiaoyu from participating in the fraud in the examination room, or prevent Qian Xiaoyu from being accused.

What can Chi Ning say?This is really something Qian Xiaoyu can do.Chi Ning said that he was not surprised at all by Qian Xiaoyu, who was bold and reckless, in this kind of thing.

In the whole picture of the matter, Chi Ning is currently more inclined that Qian Xiaoyu really took the money, but in the end, Emperor Nian Ping used it as an excuse.

This kind of matter involving fraud in the imperial examination, Wang Yang and other civil servants would never help Qian Xiaoyu.For these tycoons who rely on their own efforts to get into the top prize, cheating in the imperial examination is an insult to him who has studied hard for many years.Chi Ning had to sigh with emotion that in his previous life, Emperor Nian Ping's attack on Qian Xiaoyu was really tricky and there was no way to refute it.

All that's left for now is...

After Chi Ning inquired about all the things Wen Chen knew, he invited Qian Xiaoyu to Liyuan for a talk.

He spoke earnestly, hoping that Qian Xiaoyu would not be involved in this year's imperial examination.As long as he passed the imperial examination, his plan with Qian Xiaoyu would be able to take effect, and Qian Xiaoyu would be able to avoid disaster.

Qian Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, not knowing where Chi Ning knew this: "It was your weird Shenmu who told you again?"

Chi Ning said to Mr. Yuan in his heart [Take care of yourself], and then nodded: "Yes, I did a fortune-telling before leaving. This year's imperial examination is not conducive to the fate of you and me."

At first glance, Qian Xiaoyu didn't quite agree with Chi Ning's magic stick theory. His lips moved slightly a few times, but he still swallowed those harsh words back into his stomach. After all, he was the one asking for something now.He nodded and agreed to Chi Ning. If he didn't touch this year's imperial examination, he would call back those who had already handed him notes.It's just a small amount of money, and now his life is about to die, but he can still take care of the seriousness.

"You really took it?" Chi Ning looked at Qian Xiaoyu in surprise.

Qian Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, and replied to Chi Ning in a nonchalant tone: "Don't say you don't have one."

"I don't have one." Chi Ning put on an upright face like never before.

Qian Xiaoyu returned Chi Ning with an indifferent expression that he didn't believe at all.

Chi Ning... well, he didn't have it this year.The reason why he didn't get involved was that Xu Gui was going to take the imperial examination this year, and he didn't want to ruin the exam that the little guy had bet on his marriage happiness.Chi Ning himself takes a villain's stand against cheating.Back then, he often helped his senior brother Jiang Zhiwei who was not smart enough to cheat in the inner school.

Although Chi Ning has not yet considered getting involved in imperial examinations and selling officials to sell titles, but if he is really short of money in the future, it is hard to say what he will do.

"The most taboo thing in the officialdom is never what you do, but what other people do, but you don't do it." Qian Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows, and tapped the black and frosted tabletop with her slender fingers. Is the great-grandson doing nothing and waiting to be isolated by everyone?"

The most important relationships in the officialdom—classmates, fellow countrymen, and fellow exams.

Xu Gui directly offended most of his co-testees, fearing that he would narrow the road ahead.

Chi Ning: "..." Even more worried.Why is Xu Gui so unlucky, he always catches up with this kind of thing.However, Chi Ning still knows what will happen in the future. It is not true to do it, nor is it not to do it. "I'll have a good talk with him when I get back."

In the end, Chi Ning decided to respect Xu Gui's personal wishes. That child has a solid eye and is probably ready to be isolated.In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you are isolated, you will be isolated. After a few years, when the crown prince ascends the throne, the status of "Chi Lin's great-grandson" will be worth a fortune. Let's see who dares to play this game with Xu Gui!

"I'm looking for you for other things." Qian Xiaoyu finally said his purpose.

"You say."

"You must have heard about the movement in the palace."

"Master Qian Gaoyi. It is precisely because I heard about this that His Highness specially ordered me to help you out of trouble. Your Highness is young and beyond my powers, but I absolutely..."

Qian Xiaoyu sneered and shook her head: "Okay, there's no need to talk about the scene, you know I'm not doing it for His Highness, and I also know His Highness can't say these words."

"..." You are really wrong this time, Your Highness can tell.

"I want to know the whole story of your going to Jiangzuo. You know what I mean, including how many joints your senior brother has done for you."

"What do you mean?" Chi Ning almost understood, he finally understood Qian Xiaoyu's plan.

To put it simply, it's just eight words - the wind is tight, he's not playing.

I have to say that Qian Xiaoyu's idea is really good, she is a master who can bend and stretch.The palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies is indeed beautiful, but when the emperor obviously wants to kill himself, it must be the first to run first.There has always been a tacit understanding in Daqi's officialdom, that is, not to investigate the past.In other words, this is the case in many dynasties. When an official is old or has been convicted of a felony, many of his past events will not be mentioned again.

Emperor Nianping can't overturn the old account, so Qian Xiaoyu will be safe.Waiting for him to cultivate himself in other places for a few years, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, won't he be able to get whatever he wants?

"You are a straightforward person." Chi Ning cupped his hands to Qian Xiaoyu.

"It's also your inspiration to me."

Chi Ning made so much nonsense in the Hall of Wuwei back then, but he is still safe and sound now, isn't it because of the transitional period of Jiangzuo.The only thing that Qian Xiaoyu is more worried about is how he can grasp the scale that will allow him to be "assigned" without allowing Emperor Nian Ping to use the issue to kill him.

Given Emperor Nian Ping's current grudge against Qian Xiaoyu, any small matter may ferment into a major event.

Chi Ning almost restored the plan he had with Qian Xiaoyu in his previous life: to make a small mistake for Qian Xiaoyu, so that Emperor Nian Ping had to deal with Qian Xiaoyu, but he could not be severely punished.And since Qian Xiaoyu has a reputation for loving money, the most likely place for them to attack is the bad debts of Qian Xiaoyu's past corruption.

Times have changed, and the embezzled money can be paid back. It is not only a stain, but it is not a crime worthy of death.It's a pity that they didn't expect that Emperor Nianping could start with the latest and hottest fraud in the examination room and succeed, so they overturned the car.

"At that time, it wasn't just my senior brother who helped me, but the most important thing was Uncle Shang who helped me." Chi Ning confessed to Qian Xiaoyu.

Qian Xiaoyu frowned when she heard Shang Er's name. He and Shang Er really didn't get along. Shang Er looked down on him for corruption, and he looked down on Shang Er's hypocrisy: "It must be him?"

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Qian Xiaoyu doesn't want to bow his head to Shang Er.

Sitting in the courtyard, Chi Ning's heart trembled suddenly. Although there was no wind, there were waves on the flat ground. He seemed to be in the eye of a storm and felt an unprecedented calm, just like when he and Yuan Jun were making trees.Yuan Jun said in Chi Ning's ear: [Don't move, I have grasped the unique and unanalyzable attachment of the prince, I can't do too many things, but I can send you back to the same scene for a moment, take good care of it Chance. 】

[! ! ! ] Mr. Yuan is really getting better and better.

When Chi Ning opened his eyes again, he had an inexplicably mysterious feeling. He saw the past, the scene where he and Qian Xiaoyu were discussing plans in the past when the prince had not been reborn.

He said to Qian Xiaoyu: "Uncle Shang is the safest."

In fact, Chi Ning also thinks that Shang Er is the safest in this life. Shang Er does have his own thoughts, but is this wrong?Qian Xiaoyu thinks that Shang Er is hypocritical, so what?Whether it's them or Shang Er, they just want to climb up. Isn't life the pursuit of a better life?Otherwise, how did our ancestors evolve from slash-and-burn farming to what we are today?

Suddenly, the scene returned to Liyuan, and the backtracking ended.

Chi Ning leaned forward slightly, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Qian Xiaoyu in this life, and rolled his eyes with a smile.Relying on Mr. Yuan, he already had an idea: "Since you don't want to ask Uncle Shang, then make another choice."

Shang Er may not have betrayed Qian Xiaoyu in his previous life, but it is obvious that it is not feasible to follow his path, so let's change another path.

"How is Lord Wang Yang?"

As long as Qian Xiaoyu no longer participates in cheating in the imperial examination, what Qian Xiaoyu did to help the prince in the imperial study that day is enough to increase Wang Yang's favorability.Wang Yang is a man of high position, power and means, and most importantly, he has a little more conscience than the Queen Mother.Although he pushed Emperor Nianping to the throne together with all civil and military officials, he was the one who supported Wen Chen to sit on the crown prince all these years.

Why didn't I think of Wang Yang in my previous life?

Chi Ning thought hard for a while, only to catch a little bit of the tail of his thoughts.I didn't think about Wang Yang in my previous life, maybe it wasn't because of the premise of the fraud case in the examination room, but before that, Wang Yang was already disheartened and returned home.

The biggest difference in this life is that Wang Yang saw hope from His Highness the Crown Prince.

Every small change in the present may have an unexpected effect on the future.

It's so wonderful, His Royal Highness is reborn.

The author has something to say:

Wang Yang started thinking about quitting, which was mentioned in [Chapter 48: Work hard]~

【Wang Yang couldn't stop nodding after hearing this. At first, he already felt that he had a serious illness and his body was not as good as before. Should he consider the issue of accepting his fate, stop stubbornly waiting for a wise king, and return to his hometown.Now that he heard that the prince's future is promising, he inexplicably has the energy to refuse to admit defeat. 】

PS: It seems that some readers asked in person, is it going to end, um...

It can only be said that it is indeed the end map, but it will not be over so soon. In my estimation, there are still about 8 or 9w of content.
