Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Everyone looked at each other tremblingly, and Mi Cai stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "Your Highness, I have discussed and decided to punish these cheaters and never allow them to take the scientific examination. Brothers, nephews and nephews within three clans and five uniforms in the family will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination within three years." join."

In fact, Xiao Zirong already had punishment measures in mind, and the question was just to see what kind of trouble these people could make.

You guys should do it a little bit more covertly, so don't let him find out, okay?

Xiao Zirong doesn't expect everyone to be loyal and upright, but you all have some brains anyway.

He was really disappointed with these people, especially Mi Cai and Xie Junsheng, who seemed to be doing well on weekdays, but why did they often get confused when encountering things?

But he didn't expect these people to be so ruthless, obviously wanting to use these cheating scholars as scapegoats.

Xiao Zirong glanced at them and said, "This is such a cruel act. Considering this is the first offense, they will be fined to fail the imperial examination within five years."

Xie Junsheng was a little surprised: "This... so simple?"

Xiao Zirong leaned slightly and asked, "Why are these people able to copy so openly?"

Everyone lowered their heads in an instant, Xiao Zirong sat up straight and said coldly: "The ones who should be punished are the examiners. Don't you think that if you punish the candidates, the examiners will be covered?"

Everyone trembled, and hurriedly said they dare not.

Xiao Zirong said: "Go, think about it carefully, how should those examiners be punished."

After he finished speaking, he left, and when they figured out how to punish the examiner, Xiao Zirong also figured out how to punish these people.

Before, he was so angry that he wished to dismiss everyone, but in the end his reason stopped him.

But he was not a person who could swallow his anger, he turned his head and wrote letters to Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Xuan respectively, not even Xiao Ji was left.

Of course, the three letters were not the same, and Xiao Xuexing just complained with confidence, asked his brother who he had chosen for him, and others would not deceive others but played very slippery.

Of course he knew that this person was actually Xiao Xuan who made the decision, and then Xiao Xuexing was in charge. As long as this person didn't have major flaws, Xiao Xuexing would not object.

But he can't complain to Xiao Xuan, he can only complain to Xiao Xuexing.

The letter to Xiao Xuan was very ashamed, expressing that there were too many people in the first imperial examination and it was not arranged properly, so he had to "plead guilty".

Then Xiao Ji felt aggrieved and said that he would have known better if he had stayed in Jiankang. Of course he said that, and then he wrote about what delicious food he ate recently, and when Xiao Ji came over, he would take him to eat and play. .

Three letters and three emotions. After Xiao Xuan communicated with his son and nephew, all three felt distressed.

Especially Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Xuan, who were selected by the two of them, but they turned around and did this to make people angry.

Although Xiao Zirong didn't complain, he was still complaining to Xiao Xuexing like a bully, but he wrote these three letters very restrainedly, which was different from before.

Reminiscent of his temperament of reporting good news but not worrying, it is obvious that he has suffered a great grievance, but he just didn't want to make people worry so he didn't write too clearly.

However, there is always something to be seen between the lines.

Xiao Xuexing said in a deep voice, "I'll go to Jingkou."

Xiao Xuan frowned: "You were not good for him in the past at this time, and this incident is also an opportunity for Rong'er to establish his prestige."

Xiao Xuexing glanced at Xiao Xuan and asked depressingly: "How else can he show his prestige? Rong'er never likes to care about every detail, but when he got there, he was forced to do it himself, but even so, these people don't have a long memory, how dare they not?" Keep him in your sights."

Xiao Xuan was helpless: "I don't know what you said? It's just that he encounters few things now, and he has to deal with them by himself to convince the public. You see, he didn't ask us to take action. Thinking about it, he can still hold on. If This time you go, from now on those people will not be afraid of him but you."

Xiao Xuexing's eyebrows were calm: "So what? No matter what method you use, as long as you can make him do what you want, Rong'er won't care if you think about it."

Xiao Ji agreed with his father's opinion: "It's okay now, but you and him will have a family and start a business one day, so can he still rely on you for the rest of his life?"

Xiao Xuan said warmly: "I also feel sorry for Rong'er, but I believe he can handle it well, you can't always protect him like this."

Xiao Xuexing pursed his lips. In his heart, of course he could protect Xiao Zirong for the rest of his life, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Finally, he lowered his eyes and said: "I will subdue him and not let others know, so I just... have a look at him."

Even if it's just to comfort Xiao Zirong, after all, Xiao Zirong was wronged in an unfamiliar place, and there is no one around him who can listen to his grievances, so I don't know how disappointed he must be.

Xiao Xuan refused: "There are so many affairs in the court, how can you go away? It's already November, so let Rong'er come back in mid-December to prepare for Zhengdan."

It would take a month and a half, but Xiao Xuexing still didn't speak.

Xiao Ji said: "Ah Xing's birthday is in March, so let Rong'er stay for a while and go back after your birthday."

Xiao Xuexing: ...

Is this comforting Xiao Zirong or comforting him?

In fact, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji were really trying to stabilize Xiao Xuexing. They both felt sorry for Xiao Zironggui, but they were not as precious as Xiao Xuexing.

Mr. Xiaolang, it is time to fight and fight, not to be afraid of setbacks, and not having the courage to face setbacks is the problem.

Now Xiao Zirong's performance is also in line with their expectations, so they are also relieved to let Xiao Zirong to toss about.

From Xiao Xuan's point of view, he has already given Xiao Zirong a lot of preferential treatment, what else should he do?

Xiao Xuexing glanced at the emperor and his son, thought for a while and said, "Mi Cai can't stay there anymore. I said when he came over that he doesn't need to do anything earth-shattering. He just needs to focus on Rong'er's ideas and let Rong'er let him go." He does what he does, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous."

As Xiao Xuexing said that, he couldn't help but show his murderous intent. If such a person stayed by Xiao Zirong's side, he was simply adding trouble to Xiao Zirong!

Xiao Xuan said decisively: "Zhen will withdraw the person, you go and choose someone for Rong'er."

Xiao Xuexing looked at Xiao Xuan with some surprise: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Xuan sighed: "I didn't choose Mi Cai at the beginning."

There must be countless people flocking to choose the history of the King of Jinling. Xiao Xuan thought a lot at the beginning, even taking the balance of the court into consideration, and finally chose Mi Cai.

During this process, he only examined Mi Cai's talent and learning and whether he was involved with other forces, but he never thought about this person's character and whether he would really admire Xiao Zirong.

In fact, Mi Cai performed very well before, but when he encountered a big problem, his true nature was exposed.

This long history probably wanted to make King Jinling a puppet and him the ruler.

Maybe Xiao Zirong didn't realize this, but Xiao Xuexing did, so he wanted to kill Mi Cai.

However, Mi Cai really couldn't be killed, so Xiao Xuan simply let Xiao Xuexing choose someone, and exchanged this condition for Mi Cai's life.

Anyway, Xiao Xuexing dotes on Xiao Zirong even more than he does, so he won't choose the wrong person.

So when Xiao Zirong was still thinking about how to punish Mi Cai, the imperial court came down with an edict, and Mi Cai, the newly appointed Jinling King Chang Shi, was dismissed from his official position and never used again.

Xiao Zirong was dumbfounded when he knew about it. He wanted to fine Micai, but at most it seemed to be just a fine, and relegation was unlikely.

It turned out that the court's punishment was unexpectedly heavier.

Xiao Zirong regretted it deeply, he would have written those three letters later.

It's not that he didn't want to drive rice away, but now he dares to lie. When he gets along with these people in the future, will he be the King of Jinling?

But now the imperial examination is still going on, many things under Xiao Zirong are going on at the same time, not to mention Mi Cai, his work ability is not bad, and he handles things in a timely manner. Who is Shi, this means that many things need to be handled by Xiao Zirong alone!

Is this my uncle?Is there such a cheating nephew?

Xiao Zirong wanted to let Mi Cai continue to work until the new long history, but he couldn't bear to see the other party's disheveled face, especially after the imperial edict, now that Mi Cai is white, let him continue to work The words are actually hurting him.

So Xiao Zirong could only give him a little money in the end and said helplessly: "You and I are also regarded as monarchs and ministers, so let's get together and break up."

Mi Cai's intestines are turning green now, but what's the use of that?

It's not like he didn't complain that Xiao Zirong reported this matter before, but everyone knew that it was impossible to keep concealing such a big matter.

Seeing that Xiao Zirong was very gentle to him now, Mi Cai bid farewell to Xiao Zirong with tears in his eyes, and said: "It's my minister...it's the grass people who are obsessed with ghosts, please take care of your highness in the future!"

Xiao Zirong thought to himself that if he knew this earlier, why bother.

After Mi Cai left, Xiao Zirong was very melancholy. The only thing he wants to know now is when will his new long history take office?

Three days later, Xiao Zirong's new long history came to an end—Shangshu Ling Chaihe's seventh son, Chai Shuren.

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong was a little surprised. Those who can become princes and kings are generally not young, after all, their grades are there.

This position is indeed very good, but it also depends on who it is for. Chaihe's son, at this age, is also a sheriff. He is much better than being a prince and Wang Changshi. How could he come?How could Chai He agree?

Xiao Zirong thinks that when Chai Shuren arrives, he must inquire carefully. Anyway, he and Chaihe are old acquaintances. Let’s be honest with each other. It is best if we can cooperate. That's fine.

What Xiao Zirong didn't expect was that Chai Shuren brought him a surprise when he came.
