The rumors about Fengxian Pavilion became more and more outrageous, and in the end they were even more blatant than Fengyue's story.

So a turmoil in the inner court soon spread to the former dynasty.In the early morning of the next day, the officials began to criticize the servants of the internal servants for their lack of discipline in response to the rumors.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your audacity." A righteous-looking official said: "Your Majesty is still young, and I don't know that the atmosphere of the inner court is related to the foundation of the country. Sooner or later, there will be great chaos in this imperial city."

Li Zhan looked up at the famous speaker, although he didn't speak, the man couldn't help shrinking his neck.

The speaker was also a little puzzled for a moment, the regent used to be a very lenient person, but after returning to Beijing this time, for some reason, he seemed to be much colder.The other party obviously only looked over with one look, but didn't make a statement, so the speaker felt that he seemed to have said something wrong.

"It's time for the internal servants to take care of them."

"If you dare to have an affair with the guards today, tomorrow you will be in collusion with the inside and outside."

"The Fengxian Pavilion was originally a place to enshrine the tablet of the late emperor, how could they allow them to be so shameless?"

"Maybe how many people are involved? I heard that not only one guard was involved, and I don't know how many people who were patrolling that night were involved."

"It's even possible to do things like gathering people for prostitution/chaos, how decent it is!"

Li Zhan stood aside, his face clouded.

Dong Dong, who knew the inside story, stood aside and looked at his prince, fearing that the other party would be angry and draw a knife to slash someone after hearing these outrageous rumors.

Fortunately, before Li Zhan could speak, Gu Yiheng, the commander of the forbidden army, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Everyone speaks convincingly that there is an adulterer in our forbidden army who has an affair with a servant. Is there any evidence?" Gu Yiheng said angrily, "May I ask everyone, who is the servant who cheated with others in the Fengxian Pavilion? The guard who had an affair with him Who is it again? If you can tell me your name, Gu will ask for orders to go get him immediately, if the evidence is convincing that I, the Imperial Guard, did such a nasty thing, Gu will personally kill this apprentice!"

How do the officials know who committed the crime? There are more than a dozen versions of the rumors they heard, not to mention the parties involved, and they may not even remember the name of the person who sent the rumors.So being questioned by Gu Yiheng, he was immediately speechless.

"Investigating the case is handled by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Department of Punishment. Commander Gu doesn't have to be impatient." One person said.

"Your dirty water has been splashed on Gu's forehead, so why don't you ask me a few questions?" Gu Yiheng is a warrior after all, and usually hates the chattering of these officials. Today's incident involved the Imperial Army, and he still He knelt down to the little emperor and the regent on the spot, and said impassionedly: "I implore your Majesty and the prince to return my Imperial Army's innocence."

After he said that, he knocked his head heavily, and the skin on his head was broken immediately, and blood flowed from his forehead to his face, looking a little scary.The little emperor Li Congxu was only five years old this year. He had never seen such a scene before. Seeing the blood on Gu Yiheng's face, he was taken aback for a moment, then pursed his mouth, and burst into tears.

Gu Yiheng: ...

Li Zhan: ...

Civil and military officials: ...

A farce ended with the crying of the little emperor Li Cong.

After the morning court, Li Cong hugged Li Zhan and did not let go, crying with snot and tears.

Li Zhan was not good at coaxing children, so coaxing the little emperor for a while had little effect.He wanted to hand over the little emperor to the servants, but the little emperor was quite picky about the servants who served in front of the imperial court. In the past, only Tu Dayou could catch his eyes, but Tu Dayou failed to come to the imperial court to be on duty these days.

"Don't cry anymore!" Li Zhan put the little emperor on the ground and made a serious face.

The little emperor was startled, but actually stopped crying.

"When choosing your entourage for His Majesty today, let Your Majesty choose it himself." Li Zhan said to Dong Dong.

Dong Dong was taken aback, and asked, "Isn't the literary test based on Mr. Lu's words?"

"It's just to accompany His Majesty to study, not to pick the champion." Li Zhan said impatiently.He was really afraid that some people who would not be able to catch the little emperor's eyes would be selected at that time, and they would not even be able to coax the children at critical moments, so they would be useless.

The little emperor was tired after crying a lot, saw Li Zhan critiquing the papers, so he moved over to him.

Li Zhan turned his head and saw that he was looking at him with teary eyes, with red eyes, looking a little pitiful.

Li Zhan's heart softened, and he reached out and hugged the little emperor on his lap and sat down.

The little emperor glanced at the fold in front of him, frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Uncle Emperor, what do you mean by adultery?"

Li Zhan paused when he heard the ink brush in his hand, with a complicated expression on his face.

In the end, he took a deep breath and said to Dong Dong, "When choosing a entourage for His Majesty, find someone who knows how to behave and can speak."

The little emperor was just at the age of curiosity, he would always ask some inexplicable questions, and he always wanted to find a servant who could answer the words without talking nonsense, otherwise what would he do if he taught the child badly?

Dong Dong silently kept his request for His Majesty's new attendant in mind: His Majesty likes it, understands propriety, and can speak!

What happened early this morning quickly spread to the Internal Servant.

These internal servants who were watching the excitement before did not think it was a big deal, never imagined that the fire would burn on their own heads.

If the officials participated in the performance ruthlessly, and the regent really wanted to punish the internal servants, they would all be implicated in some way.For a moment, the internal servant was panicked, praying that the officials would shut up, and at the same time praying that the internal servant in the rumor would follow the law so that they would not be implicated.

Although Tu Dayou was not on duty, he couldn't hide the troubles in the palace from him.

After his servants left the court, they told him what happened at the court today.Tu Dayou's face was solemn when he heard the words, and he realized that this matter is getting more and more difficult now. If he doesn't want to find a way out, I'm afraid no one will be able to keep Ji Qingzhou.

Once the matter is exposed, will the regent take all the verbal and written criticisms of civil and military officials for a ruthless Ji Qingzhou?That is impossible!

Fortunately, the rumors have not yet named the name, even if it is the regent, I am afraid that it is still uncertain that the person that night must be Ji Qingzhou.

"There must be a way." Tu Dayou said.

Ji Qingzhou said: "I have thought about it carefully, and there is no solution to this matter at all. We don't know what information the person spreading rumors behind him has in his hands... I'm afraid even the regent will not take him Fazi, how can we turn the situation around with our mere two servants?"

"You have to do something?" Tu Dayou said.

"Don't get involved." Ji Qingzhou said: "After today's literary test, I will go to see the regent..."

Tu Dayou said: "Are you crazy?"

"It's better to have some fun than being found out by them to humiliate/humiliate the public." Ji Qingzhou said.

Tu Dayou's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he said, "I have an idea, don't act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary."

"What are you going to do?" Ji Qingzhou asked: "This is the end of the matter, you will only get yourself involved if you take risks for me."

Tu Dayou suddenly chuckled, put his hand on Ji Qingzhou's head and rubbed it gently, then turned around and left quickly.Ji Qingzhou looked at his back and wanted to chase him out, but Tuda moved too fast and disappeared in a moment.

In the afternoon, when it was time for the literary examination, Ji Qingzhou went to the palace school.

Tu Dayou arrived in a hurry until before the essay test started.

Ji Qingzhou was relieved to see that he came back safe and sound.

Tu Dayou raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, looking as if he had a plan in mind.

The content of the essay test is the questions given by Lu Tingyi, and each person should answer the questions with a blank piece of paper.

Although Ji Qingzhou has practiced calligraphy, his handwriting can only be considered neat, which is really not outstanding.In addition, he is a modern person after all, and his tone of answering the questions is all in the vernacular, and he is full of thoughts now, and he has no intention of answering the questions, basically just scribbling to deal with the matter.

After everyone handed in the test papers, Lu Tingyi sat aside to review the test papers.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Tu Dayou absent-mindedly, always feeling that the other party's state was a little strange.

On the other side, Dong Dong brought the little emperor over when he heard that the servants had handed in the papers.

He didn't dare to neglect what his lord had told him, and today he had to help the little emperor choose a entourage he liked no matter what.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace school, he saw a little eunuch hurried over in a panic, and then knelt down in front of Dong Dong with a plop.The little emperor was taken aback by the little eunuch, Dong Dong immediately yelled at the servant: "What are you panicking about?"

"My lord Dong, forgive me... dare I ask if the prince is in the palace?" the servant asked hurriedly.

"What do you want the prince to do?" Dong Dong asked.

The servant said with a look of panic: "That... that servant who had an affair with someone in Fengxian Pavilion... I found it!"

"What?" Dong Dong's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, his heart sank immediately, he turned and ran towards the imperial study.
