A few days later, the young couple returned to Beijing with the Luo family.

Li Chengyun organized the two battalions of the Forbidden Army like an iron bucket, at least on the surface.

Except for the invitations from family friends, Luo Chengyu basically stayed in the mansion, but he seemed to be more and more ashamed to stay out of the door.

In this way, day after day, finally came the time of autumn.

At the beginning of autumn everywhere, Su Yao changed his name and changed his surname without telling his parents, sneaked into the Shuntian Mansion examination room, flew over at low altitude, and was worthy of passing the exam.

After receiving Su Yao's post, Luo Chengyu went to the Huangliang Tavern for an appointment.

Su Yao took out the treasured wine left by Mrs. Tan, "To celebrate my election today, would you like to drink some?"

Luo Chengyu was thinking about Mrs. Tan's wine, but he also remembered that he had promised Li Chengyun, he hesitated, and hesitated again.

Su Yao rolled his eyes vaguely, and said, "Then let the prince accompany you to have a drink when he comes to pick you up."

"Okay." Luo Chengyu nodded, after he was drunk before, he promised Li Chengyun not to drink when he was not around.

"By the way, based on your knowledge, you shouldn't be ranked at the bottom of Juren. Could it be intentional?"

Su Yao chuckled twice, "The concubine guessed it right. I'm saving my strength and not attracting attention. I'll be a blockbuster again when the spring begins next year."

Luo Chengyu chuckled, and couldn't help worrying about him after laughing, "You are the son of the Marquis of Yongping, and you know so many high-ranking officials. Those who are officials are not good people. Be careful that someone will use your participation in the imperial examination to deal with you. At that time, not only will something happen to me, but the entire Su family will also be affected."

"I'll make some more modifications."

Luo Chengyu shook his head lightly, "I always think this is inappropriate and the risk is too great. If you want to prove that my brother can also become an official in the court, you can think about it in the long run."

"Someone always needs to take the first step. My father often said that the current emperor is kind and wise. Even if the incident happens, the possibility of beheading me is not very high."

"Don't forget that you still have to run an academy, you still have a lot to do."

Su Yao scratched his head, "Chunwei comes once every three years, if I don't participate this time, it will be three years later."

"In three years, the academy can be established." Luo Chengyu just wanted to persuade him to give up the idea of ​​participating in Chunwei. Chunyu is different from Qiuwei, and the risk of things being revealed is too high.

Su Yao drooped his head, how could he not understand what Luo Chengyu meant?He said sullenly, "I'm just not reconciled."

Luo Chengyu pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Why don't you tell Cheng Yun about this and ask him what he means?" This matter is Su Yao's secret, and Luo Chengyu never told Li Chengyun.

Su Yao was stunned for a moment, and then there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, and the arc of his mouth became wider and wider, "My friend Wangfei, I have no sympathy."

"You are also a friend worth making."

Su Yao smiled happily and said: "The princess trusts the prince, and I trust the princess. Besides, the prince is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. It would be great to have the prince as an adviser."

So, when Li Chengyun came to pick Luo Chengyu back home, Luo Chengyu and Su Yao looked at him with shining eyes.

"what happened?"

Su Yao said: "My lord, I have something to ask."

Luo Chengyu nodded beside him.

Li Chengyun sat next to Luo Chengyu with a solemn expression, "Tell me first."

Su Yao glanced at Luo Chengyu who was encouraging him, and said, "My lord, I participated in the autumn chamber and won the prize."

Li Chengyun pursed his lips and said in his heart: This Su Yao really knows how to play, he is very courageous.

"My lord, I want to prove that my brother can also serve as an official in the court and fight on the battlefield. He shouldn't be different from a man."

"This king doesn't think there is any difference between a brother and a man. If a brother is capable, he can also serve the court and benefit the people."

"Is your lord willing to help me?" Su Yao looked at Li Chengyun in surprise.

Li Chengyun frowned slightly, and said: "This court does not allow brothers and women to be admitted to official positions, so the law is like this. I can't try my own way to help you break the law, but I can try to persuade the emperor to appoint my brother as an official. "

When the emperor asked Luo Chengyu to follow him in and out of the various government offices, he had actually tested the emperor's attitude in a disguised form, and this matter might be very difficult.

Su Yao quickly thanked her.

Li Chengyun said: "After the matter is completed, it will not be too late to thank me."

Su Yao was grateful to the couple in his heart, and when sending them out of the tavern, he asked them to bring Mrs. Tan's treasured wine with them, and forcefully stuffed it into Mu Sheng's hands.

Back in the palace, Li Chengyun opened the wine jar and smelled it. The aroma was sweet, and he couldn't help saying: "No wonder his tavern business is so good, this wine smells good."

"This is the treasure left by Mrs. Tan before, and Su Yao took it out to celebrate her winning the imperial examination."

"I see."

"Brother, how confident are you in convincing the emperor about taking the imperial examination?"

"Less than ten percent."

"what?"

"Last time, I racked my brains to allow you to follow me into and out of the military camp. It can almost be said that I was lucky. Su Yao should be glad that he told me this today, otherwise what awaits him will definitely be a heinous crime."

"Is there really no hope at all?" Luo Chengyu's eyes dimmed a bit.

Li Chengyun took him to sit at the table, asked someone to bring two wine glasses, and brought over some appetizers.

"Don't think about those annoying things, I'll drink some with you."

Luo Chengyu frowned slightly, and with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"Eat some food first, then drink slowly."

It was rare that Li Chengyun got Luo Chengyu, who had a light drinker, drunk.

The drunk man hugged Li Chengyun tightly, crying and saying, "Actually, I also want to take part in the imperial examination."

Li Chengyun waited until Luo Chengyu fell asleep from crying, carried him to the couch, wiped his body and changed into his pajamas, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, and whispered distressedly: "Go to sleep."

A few days later, Luo Chengyu and Su Yao worked together to build the academy.From site selection to housing design, from hiring teachers to recruiting students, the two of them did everything by themselves, and they were extremely busy.

Among them, the most difficult thing is enrollment.

Li Chengyun gave them an idea, asking Shen Weinian, a former scholar of the Imperial Academy, to be the head of the academy.

Shen Weinian was very knowledgeable, he had successively served as the crown prince and Taifu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and also served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, so he had a high prestige among scholars.

Su Yaoyang took his father Su Zhonghao to Shen's mansion to help talk about Xiang. Mr. Shen was happy to preach and teach, but he asked the academy to only recruit men.

After discussing with Su Yao, Luo Chengyu visited the door in person, and the old man's attitude was very clear.

Shen Weinian said: "Prince Princess Su and Mr. Su's original intentions are good. Reading can enrich people, and there is poetry and literature in their stomachs. However, men and women have different seats at the age of seven. The academy either only accepts men, or only men or women. , cannot be recruited together.”

Su Yao said: "My lord, the princess and I have considered it. We plan to follow the Baiyun Academy in Leling Mansion, where men and women are taught in separate classes."

Shen Weinian pondered: "It's still not right."

Luo Chengyu said: "The insufficiency needs to be filled by the boss. The boss and Yan Shanzhang are both great contemporary Confucians. If Baiyun Academy can do it, I believe we can do it too."

Shen Weinian paused, "The princess used the aggressive method."

Luo Chengyu said sincerely: "It is better to invite the general than to provoke the general, and ask the boss to sit in the academy for us."

Shen Weinian said to the left and right: "The tea is cold, serve it again."

While serving tea, Shen Weinian quietly observed Luo Chengyu and Su Yao, thinking carefully.

He took a small sip of tea, and then said, "Can you show me the drawings of the academy?"

Su Yao took out the blueprint in surprise, and said, "We brought the blueprint over here for the purpose of asking the boss to see it."

Shen Weinian looked at the overall design of the vast academy, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and asked, "What about the manpower?"

Su Yao said: "The teachers who teach the six arts have been hired respectively."

Luo Chengyu added: "For the guardian of the academy, I asked the palace guards to assist in the recruitment and training to ensure the safety inside and outside the academy."

Shen Weinian nodded: "Okay, the old man agrees."

With Shen Weinian's appearance, the academy gradually got on the right track and officially started operation this winter.

On the other side, Yun Lan still wanders among the rich and powerful.

Since the last time he talked with Luo Chengyu at the Huangliang Tavern, he put aside his love for the time being, and tried his best to investigate the events of his grandfather in the past, and finally let him find a clue.

Yunlan begged to see Luo Chengyu, and said to him with a solemn expression: "The princess promised to help me, is this still valid?"

"Do you know the truth about Prime Minister Chi's murder?"

"I found some clues." Yun Lan's face was pale, as if she would collapse at any moment.

Luo Chengyu nodded: "It works."

Yunlan's eyes gradually turned red, "Actually, someone told me a long time ago that the person who killed my grandfather was Uncle Zhongyong, but there is no evidence, and I have always been unwilling to believe it."

This was known to him before his death in his last life, but he loved Yan Hengrui so much that he couldn't help but deliberately forget about it.

"However, I heard the second person say it again, and that person also said that there is a letter as evidence."

"Who told you that?"

"Ding Fanbin from the Marquis of Yongjia, he came out of prison and came to see me in Chunxue Pavilion, and I got him drunk, he said after drinking."

Ding Fanbin had already thought about Yunlan, but he didn't attack him because of Yan Hengrui.Now that Yan Hengrui was in despair, he made a move on Yunlan.

Luo Chengyu pondered slightly, and said, "Uncle Zhongyong has already been executed, but your expression tells me that things are not that simple."

Yun Lan pursed her lips, "I'm afraid the princess won't be able to offend this person."

It's not difficult for Luo Chengyu to guess someone, "Is it the third prince?"

"it's him."

"As long as the evidence is convincing, I will ask the prince to play the role of the emperor and reverse the case for Prime Minister Chi."

"Thank you, princess."

Yunlan gave a solemn salute, and then said: "Ding Fanbin said that the people who corrupted back then were the third prince and Uncle Zhongyong, and they blamed my grandfather."

"The person who wrote the letter pretending to be my grandfather kept the real letter, and now it is in Ding Fanbin's hands. Ding Fanbin was able to get out of prison so quickly, not because of Yongjiahou's operation, but because he had such a letter."

"I'll send someone to look for that letter, don't mess around with it yourself."

Yun Lan pursed her lips again and fell silent, and finally nodded her thanks after a while.

When Li Chengyun returned home, Yun Lan told him about it.

Li Chengyun was worried that he would not be able to catch the third prince's fox tail, how could he ignore the handle brought to his door?

Luo Chengyu said worriedly: "Will Yunlan set up a trap with them for Yan Hengrui's sake and harm us?"

"It's possible, but we'll wait until we find the letter. Besides, if we really want to overturn the case, a letter alone is not enough."
