There have been some turmoil in the court recently. Apart from the big victory at the border, there are also endless disputes within the court.

The Guangrun County incident was investigated for three months, and the emperor had a lot of officials from top to bottom. He followed the clues and found out the accounts of the two governors of Suzhou and Hangzhou in Jiangnan Road.Seeing the big from the small, Emperor Yongning's methods are not just for a small Guangrun County.

But no matter what the emperor's skills are, the two vacant vacancies are for everyone to see.

Since it is a fat vacancy, there are many people who are staring at it.

The same is true of today's court meeting. Suddenly, Wang Zhenming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out, holding an ivory wat, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that although the matter in Guangrun County is small, it can affect the whole body, so we can find out about Su. The bad debts of the two former governors of Hangzhou. Looking at it now, let alone ability and background, virtuous and honest are the first choice."

Xu Shoufu said lightly: "Wang Shangshu's words are reasonable, but being an official is to make decisions for the people. If you are incompetent, you are virtuous and honest. I'm afraid you can't."

Wang Zhenming bowed and answered: "The Chief Assistant is very right. Right now, I have a candidate who has both integrity and ability, and is honest and fair."

The blood of the Gongye royal family is mixed with the blood of nomads, with a deep face and a tall figure.Emperor Yongning sat at the head in a black dragon robe, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and he was majestic.After a few days of quarreling, he was also a little bored, so he nodded when he heard the words, "Tell me about the Qing family."

Wang Zhenming: "This year is the day when the three-year exams are concluded. From the many evaluations, I noticed that one official evaluated that one is the best and four good, and it is the best. Looking closely, the evaluations in the past few years have repeatedly He is above average and has excellent government affairs, so he is a rare talent. Coincidentally, he is also an official of Suzhou and Hangzhou."

Huang Zhenghe, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Shangshu Wang, don't want to whet people's appetite."

Wang Zhenming laughed and said: "Don't worry, this person is Xu Shangde, the top scholar in the scientific examination ten years ago. strong."

Wang Zhenming, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was talking at the front, and Mo Jingchun, who was standing in the middle of the queue, already felt several glances passing him vaguely.

Xu Shangde and Mo Jingchun were in the same scientific research, and now ten years have passed, but their circumstances are different.

Xu Shangde stayed in the Hanlin Academy for a year, then found a way out and released him to be an official. At first, he was only a small county magistrate.Three years later, because of his excellent rating, he was transferred to Hangzhou, and it took another six years to get to the position of assistant governor of the governor. If Wang Shangshu's election is successful, he will become the governor of Hangzhou immediately.

After ten years to reach the position of governor, it really went smoothly, and the ancestors accumulated virtues.

However, the wife Xu Shangde married was the daughter of Lin Yushi, Wang Shangshu's nemesis.Lin Yushi is the prince's man, and Wang Shangshu follows the doctrine of the mean, so he can't see where he stands.The recommendation this time is to show goodwill to the prince?

In the next court, Mo Jingchun went to the Hanlin Academy after finishing his calligraphy. He still had important tasks to compose.

The work of repairing the history books of the previous dynasty has been done since Emperor Yongning ascended the throne, and he has been involved in it since he entered the Imperial Academy. Now that ten years have passed, the history books of the previous dynasty that cost hundreds of people's efforts are finally As the ending is coming to an end, Mo Jingchun is unavoidably more concerned than before.

Most of the officials who come and go from the Imperial Academy know Mo Jingchun, except for the Shuji who are transferred in every three years, most of them are officials who are sincere in their studies and work.Although this place is clean and boring, it is the place where Mo Jingchun feels most at ease.

As soon as he came, the academician entrusted part of the work of supervision to Mo Jingchun, and said cheerfully: "I still think at this last moment, it will be okay for you to run away."

Mo Jingchun smiled bitterly: "How do you have no confidence in me?"

They have known each other for several years, and their friendship is not bad.

Zhang Qianzhao, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, smiled and shook his head: "How many people in this Imperial Academy want to come in, but how many want to get out?" Getting in is one threshold, and how to get out is another threshold. Who can endure years of lonely penance?

While speaking, Mo Jingchun's face changed slightly, and the familiar moisture reappeared.

In front of the crowd, above the palace of Langlang Qiankun, he resisted the weird feeling, blushed, and hurriedly said goodbye.

Going home at night, the feeling of shame and humiliation came to my head together.

Mo Jingchun unbuttoned the front of his shirt, took off his shirt completely with a pale face, took a deep breath and looked down, but saw that the sides on both sides were raised and red, and the wear and tear all the way made it swollen.

What an embarrassing and shameful punishment!

Mo Jingchun suddenly covered the front of his clothes, his face turned green and white, wishing he could faint immediately.

The inner room asked for water again.

The waiters in the yard didn't talk much, at most they muttered in private that the gentleman had to be diligent in ordering water these days, but he didn't know that his gentleman was sitting in the big tree and looking at those two shameless things, almost getting annoyed. Smother yourself alive in the water.

Mo Jingchun couldn't stand the two consecutive near accidents in front of people.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, endured and endured, and finally said in a trembling voice: "You ghost, do you really need three months to get rid of this thing?"

[If you can complete the task, there is no penalty]

Mo Jingchun only felt hateful, how could there be something in this world that had to be sacrificed but not rewarded?If he didn't do the task of Shi Laozi, he would have to suffer this kind of punishment, but he didn't say anything after completing it?

But he was really tired and didn't want to talk too much with spirits.

Mo Jingchun sat down in vain, remained silent for a long time, and finally began to think about the meaning behind that mission one.

The First Prince and Concubine Li mentioned in the first mission are exactly a pair of mother and son.

Except for the prince who lives in the East Palace, all the princes of the royal family will go out of the palace after the age of 15. The eldest prince is already 26 this year, and he has already been out of the palace, so he can't easily return to the palace.

But since Mission [-] failed, it means that the First Prince and Concubine Li must meet each other.

As a concubine, if she wants to see her own prince, she needs to ask for an order from the prince, and she can only enter the palace with permission.There must be a reason for the eldest prince to enter the palace.

Mo Jingchun had no one and no money, let alone connections, so it was undoubtedly more difficult than going to heaven to find out the whereabouts of the royal family.

But Mo Jingchun had to do this.

In the next few days, he roughly figured out the frequency of milk production. As long as there is no stimulation, one squeeze can last for a day or two, but if it is accidentally rubbed, it will flow out immediately.He was forced to wrap a thick layer of cloth around his chest. Although it might overflow a little when squeezed, it avoided the possibility of friction.

In this way, the shameful thing of bleeding in front of others was finally avoided.

After a few days, Mo Jingchun waited for half an hour when he was on duty in the East Palace, but His Royal Highness did not show up, so he was relieved.He only returned to the oratory homework in the East Palace once every seven days, which was the least among all the masters, and the crown prince came back every three times, which showed his perfunctory attitude.

This difficult master probably won't come today.

Mo Jingchun was happy on the contrary, he saw less and had fewer conflicts.

Mo Jingchun was alone in the Encouragement Hall. He stood in front of the desk and wrote the word "Long" with a pen, and then drew a circle.

Yesterday, His Majesty appointed Xu Shangde as the governor of Suzhou.

This is a bit deviated from the original one, but it is not bad. The governor of Hangzhou is another unknown person.

The First Prince, Concubine Li, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Shangde, Lin Yushi...

Mo Jingchun slightly closed his eyes.

On the face of it, Lin Yushi was a prince, his prostitute married Xu Shangde, Lin Yushi was clean and honest, but Xu Shangde's official career was uneventful, and it was impossible for him to have no one to help him.It was six years ago that he was transferred to Hangzhou, and if he started to show his signs since then, the prince was only twelve years ago.

The possibility that Xu Shangde is the crown prince is not great.

Concubine Li's father is Xu Shoufu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Wang Zhenming and Xu Shoufu have many disputes in government affairs, and they seem to have long-standing feuds.So much so that many people forget that they actually had a half-teacher friendship in their early years.Wang Zhenming suddenly promoted Xu Shangde, and Xu Shoufu reprimanded and dissatisfied many times, just like their usual battle.

But... there are still heirs!

Mo Jingchun suddenly opened his eyes, the pupils were filled with burning brilliance.

The eldest prince has two daughters and one son, and the first son was born just over half a month ago.

This child is also the first legitimate son among the grandchildren of the current royal family.This son was just born, less than seven days later the eldest prince asked to see Concubine Li, a few days later, Wang Zhenming elected Xu Shangde, and then the dust settled yesterday.Presumably... the first prince's bargaining chip has already reassured some people and made them think.

On the surface, Lin Yushi belonged to the prince, and the Wang Shangshu recommended by him did not stand in line, so Xu Shangde's background was innocent, and he could even vaguely be included in the Eastern Palace camp.

But in private, the person Xu Shangde takes refuge in may be the First Prince.

The eldest prince is not good at martial arts, he has a gentle temperament, quick wit, and can be courteous to corporals, which makes people admire.His mother-in-law, Concubine Li, is the daughter of Xu Shoufu. She has a long family history. She was once a servant of the Mo family's tiger, Mo Guangsheng, and she has a newborn son at her knees...Compared to Donggong, who has an unstable personality and wanton indulgence, the eldest prince has a lot of love for him. For some, it's a better candidate.

Mo Jingchun pinched the center of his brows, he could guess that the East Palace must also know the inside story.

This may be the reason why Jingguai asked Mo Jingchun to prevent the eldest prince from meeting Li Concubine.

At that time, Emperor Yongning was very taboo about the prince forming a party for personal gain, and Xu Shoufu had a special status, so the eldest prince and Xu Shoufu had very little contact in private.But as a palace concubine, Concubine Li wanted to summon her mother and other female relatives, but it was not difficult.And compared to the Eldest Prince's somewhat indecisive character, his mother, Concubine Li, is rumored to be a decisive person.

She has been favored in the palace for many years, and she also has the friendship of defending His Majesty back then.

Such a woman...

The person who made up his mind for the First Prince might be Concubine Li.

[Task [-]: Gain the initial trust of Gong Yeqi]

The strange voice suddenly ding-dong, making Mo Jingchun freeze in place.

"Master, why are you so engrossed that you don't even hear anything when you come in alone?"

Donggong's voice suddenly sounded, and Mo Jingchun was so startled that the writing brush in his hand fell off the table. It happened that the brush and ink hit the "long", the smearing was even, but it was also clearly visible.

Mo Jingchun looked up, and the handsome Crown Prince was standing opposite him.

He hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, forgive me for your lack of manners."

Gong Yeqi: "What is the crime? I just silenced them."

"Your Highness..."

He was about to say something, but he saw a faint smile on Gongye Qi's handsome face, and raised his eyebrows to look at Mo Jingchun.

"Master, what kind of spice did you change today? It's a little too sweet."

As if being hit hard, Mo Jingchun clenched his cuffed palm into a fist, but he didn't dare to show any trembling.

Donggong met twice in a row, and what he said was really unpleasant.

However, Mo Jingchun had ghosts in his heart at the moment, so he didn't dare to say anything, but said anxiously: "Your Highness, don't speak nonsense." He interrupted Dong Gong's words lightly and quickly, and anxiously brought up another point.

"Your Highness is here today, but you want to attend a class?"

——As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted it.

Mo Jingchun shouldn't ask such a question.

Dong Gong's eyes were dark and bright, "It seems that Master is determined to find something alone?"
