According to the situation of the country

Lin Jin was feeling bored, when he heard footsteps, and the trembling voice of the little eunuch vaguely reached his ears.

"Empress Dowager, thousand years old."

"Get up, go and ask the emperor if he sees me, the old woman." The empress dowager said in a bad tone.

The emperor's grandmother really came, and the speed was faster than I expected.

Lin Jin got up hurriedly, his face changed slightly, and he met the little eunuch who had entered the palace to report.

"The emperor—the empress dowager—" Seeing the emperor getting up to leave, the little eunuch stood anxiously either kneeling or not.

Lin Jin waved his hand and hurried out of the side hall in a hurry, fearing that if he was a step too late, he would bump into the Empress Dowager, and he didn't know how to explain to the imperial grandmother.

"What? The emperor isn't in the hall anymore? It wasn't returned just now—" The Empress Dowager was greatly surprised, and unconsciously looked in the direction of the rear of the hall.Sure enough, there was a group of people walking north in the night in the distance.The emperor is actually hiding?He only felt that the situation was serious, and he was angry and anxious, and the Xifeng stick in his hand smashed to the ground.

"Grandmother, the body is the most important thing. Jun Yue doesn't think that the prince will do such a thing in such a foolish way. The emperor is forced to do this. The prince is the only younger brother of the emperor. He has always loved him. I'm afraid it's not as easy as we are now. "Ji Yuejun supported the Empress Dowager, seeing the old man coughing loudly out of breath, he repeatedly comforted her.

"If the imperial grandmother is ill, the emperor and the prince should not blame themselves and feel distressed."

"Oh——" The Empress Dowager patted Ji Yuejun's hand, and tremblingly said: "It's better for my daughter's family, caring and sensible. Unlike this man, he has to be competitive. I'm afraid that starting from today I will not be able to take care of the country. It's peaceful." The Empress Dowager has seen too many people leave in her life, she has long been indifferent to rights and interests, the only thing she cares about is these two grandchildren, before Lin Xuan was young and far away from the capital, now Lin Xuan has grown up Now that he has his own opinion, he is really afraid that one day he will fight against his imperial brother. There are countless cases of brothers killing each other throughout the ages.

"My lord has been watched by you since I was a child. The emperor's grandmother knows best what kind of character he is. The one who ranks first in my heart is the emperor's grandmother. The same is true for the emperor." Ji Yuejun knew the identity of Lin Xuan's daughter , the emperor also knew, so why was he afraid that Lin Xuan would threaten the throne, not to mention that Lin Xuan had very little interest in imperial power.

"Jun'er is the most caring, and the ancestors of the Lin family will bless you—" the Empress Dowager clasped her hands together and murmured.

"Jun'er, don't worry. Xuan'er will not suffer any grievances in Dali Temple. Even if the emperor is foolish to think that his own brother will do such a thing, he will not be so foolish as to kill his own brother. Juner, first Go back to the mansion, go back and wait for Xuan'er, the emperor's grandmother promises you, you will definitely see Xuan'er tomorrow."

Ji Yuejun's eye circles were a little red, covered by the night, he nodded repeatedly, "Grandmother, you must take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, my old bones, I know it well." The Empress Dowager replied with a comforting smile.

In the cell of Dali Temple, Lin Xuan paced back and forth, Yang Li asked himself for nearly an hour before sending him back, the cell next door to Ji Ronghou Liu Fei was still empty.Lin Xuan sorted out his thoughts. Judging from the information obtained so far, the imperial examination questions have been leaked for two consecutive sessions.Song Ruoming firmly insisted that the culprit behind this scene was himself and Ji Ronghou Liu Fei.He didn't know that he had nothing to do with this matter.As for Liu Fei, if he didn't tell others, he would still believe it, but Liu Fei's doing so would not do him any good.Ten years ago, there were floods in the two states, and the prices were extremely high. Liu Fei suppressed many merchants for the sake of the people of the country. If it was for money, he could get much more ten years ago than now, with less risk.What's more, the Liu family has a deep foundation in Zhaoguo and is a big family that has stood for a hundred years. Would he care about a little money?If it was for fame and fortune, how could Liu Fei retire when she was in a high position?Since it wasn't, Song Ruoming was the servant of the household department and couldn't come across the exam questions for this year. How did he get the exam questions for these two sessions?It is impossible for him alone to have the guts to do this, and it involves a lot more. Song Ruoming is probably just a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help shaking his head. He hadn't slept all night, and his body was very tired, but it was difficult to figure out the many doubts about the matter for a while, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He just felt tired, physically and mentally tired.Lin Xuan looked around, except for a wall behind him surrounded by a fence made of refined iron, there was nothing else. The ground was fairly clean, but there were no windows to tell what time it was.Now I can only hope that Liu Fei will come back soon, and ask him to clarify, so I can't be inexplicably blamed on others.Even if some people think about it, Brother Huang won't do that.

Lin Xuan's expression didn't change, he suddenly remembered something, hurried to the iron gate, and called out, "Come here, come here!"

Since Dali Temple detained several important court officials, the jailers took turns guarding them, for fear of any mistakes.

The night watchman was not far away. Hearing the movement inside, he hurried forward, rubbed his hands and hurriedly asked, "The villain is here, what orders does the lord have?"

"What's your name?" Although Lin Xuan was anxious, his tone was relaxed.

"Go back to the prince, little one, Li Datou." The jailer hurriedly said.

"Okay - big head, what time is it now?"

"Go back to your lord, it's now time, it's already dawn." Datou Li replied with a smile on his face. He was able to talk to King Yong after he had just been on duty in Dali Temple for a month. Beautiful.

Seeing Li Datou's simple aura, Lin Xuan's face was filled with the happiness and satisfaction of ordinary people, and his mood also improved.

"Big head, judging by your age, you should have married a wife and had children, right?" Lin Xuan guessed Li Datou's age, which should be pretty good.

"Hey hey——" Li Datou is really a real person, and he laughed "shyly" before he could speak.It's just that the smile permeated the face of a tall and thick old man, it was a little funny, the corners of Lin Xuan's mouth raised slightly when he saw it, the first smile after the accident was the most precious.

"Go back to the lord, the villain will get married next month." Li Datou said in a low voice, a blush appeared on his dark face: "The villain's family is poor, his parents passed away early, and there are two younger brothers and one younger sister at home. No one wants to marry me, my brother, three years ago my younger brother became a Jinshi and worked as a small official in Beijing, so he found me such a job."

"If this king can go out safely next month, I will definitely ask Datou to be drunk with you at the wedding." Lin Xuan laughed. He didn't expect that Li Datou would be embarrassed. He felt that he wanted to "marry" himself out instead of marrying a wife. Same twist.

Li Datou was overjoyed, he quickly thanked him, and said sincerely: "My lord, you will definitely get out safely, I think you must be fine."

Lin Xuan was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Now the news must have spread throughout the court, saying that this king has committed a major crime. Even this king doesn't know whether he can pass this test, how do you know? "

Li Datou said sternly: "I don't think you are the prince flattering you, I think you look like a good person, the prince, which is different from the people who came here. The Hou Ye next door to you is also a good person."

Li Datou saw the corner of Lin Xuan's mouth smiling, fearing that Lin Xuan would not believe him, he hurriedly said: "It's true, it's true—I think it's true."

"Okay, I accept your good words." Lin Xuan put away his smile, looked at Li Datou seriously and said: "Datou, I have something to ask, but I will never make things difficult for you."

"As long as I, Li Datou, can do it, I will definitely make my love beautiful for the prince."

"You should be changing shifts soon after you come down this night. Please go to Prince Yong's mansion later, and send a message to the mansion, saying that everything is fine with me, don't worry."

"Come on—the villain must give the prince word for word."

Lin Xuan felt guilty for a while, and he forgot about Ji Yuejun after tossing all night. Such earth-shattering news should have been spread all over the city by now.After hearing this, Mr. Yue must be anxious, so he asked Li Datou to bring a message to the mansion to report his safety.

……

After noon, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the cell and looked at Liu Fei who was imprisoned next door.Since Ji Ronghou was sent back, no matter what Lin Xuan said or asked, Liu Fei did not respond and stopped answering.

"This king can't figure it out. Why are you so silent, old man?" Lin Xuan was angry and impatient, and couldn't help but said again: "You don't analyze the situation with this king now, and wait until Song Ruoming and the rest of the party explain the matter." Sit down—"

Lin Xuan's words were interrupted by the sound of "squeak--" the iron door opened, and a group of people came into the cell, and the one walking in front was Qin Yangli of Dali Temple.

"Come here - open the cell door." Yang Li ordered.

These words were very harsh to Lin Xuan's ears, and he watched Yang Li's every move coldly.As soon as the door opened, Lin Xuan and Yang Li looked at each other, Yang Li's eyes were cold and emotionless, Lin Xuan didn't show any weakness, and frowned slightly, staring at Yang Li's eyes.

Feeling impolite, Yang Li stepped forward, clasped his fists, and lowered his head slightly: "My lord, it has now been found out that this case of leaking questions in the new department has nothing to do with you. I am here to send you out of Dali Temple. If there was any offense before, it is really a crime." Helpless, I hope Wang Ye Haihan."

Hearing Yang Li's words, Lin Xuan felt relieved, but he was always out of breath, "Please trouble Mr. Yang, before you handle the case impartially next time, you can work harder to find the evidence, so as not to harm the innocent." Lin Xuan stood up slowly Come on, his legs were a little numb, and he straightened his clothes gracefully, "Since Master Yang made a mistake, why don't you release Lord Hou quickly." King Yong's tone was light, but there was no room for negotiation.

"Today, I can only let the prince walk out of Dali Temple alone." Yang Li replied without saying a word.

"Why is that?" Lin Xuan's face changed slightly, his eyes glanced through the fence to Liu Fei, the Marquis of Ji Rong who was sitting behind his back, and turned around to stare closely at Yang Li's eyes with an imposing manner.

"Because Ji Ronghou has pleaded guilty."

"What??" Lin Xuan was in a daze, and subconsciously looked at Ji Ronghou to find out the answer, but Lin Xuan couldn't see anything except Liu Fei's vicissitudes of back.

"How could he be guilty?" Lin Xuan couldn't believe it, "What evidence do you have? If you don't have any, don't talk nonsense."

"Reporting to the lord, the case is still under investigation, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose it now." Yang Li clasped his fists slightly to express his apology, "Please also leave the Dali Temple as soon as possible, the empress dowager and the emperor are still waiting for the minister to return."

How could Lin Xuan accept such a high-sounding answer, and immediately sat down on the ground again, squinting at Yang Li, "Since Mr. Yang has not investigated clearly, this king is not going anywhere." Lin Xuan was really afraid that if he went out, this The notoriously cruel official may not know how to torture the old man Liu Fei.

"My lord, please take a look at the memorandum that I will present to the emperor, it is about the case of Xinke leaking questions." Yang Li took out the memo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xuan respectfully.

Lin Xuan gave Yang Li a cold look, took the memorial, unfolded it slowly, and read it carefully, but his complexion became more and more unhappy.

Liu Fei, the Marquis of Ji Rong, seemed to be out of his body, indifferent to the things around him, closing his eyes and resting on his own.After hastily reading Yang Li's memorial, Lin Xuan looked at Ji Ronghou Liu Fei again in disappointment, clenched his fists, stomped his feet, threw down his sleeves, and strode out of the prison.
