Chapter 376: I'm afraid the children will wait impatiently

Every shadow guard who got the news felt that the Duke of Qing was a talented brothel owner!

Throughout the dynasties, there have been many people who offered their wives and sold their daughters for fame and fortune, but there has been no precedent like the Duke of Qing, who sold his daughter to a hundred families, and did not really sell her, but only bought her shadow, and the other party was willing to spend all their fortunes to do so.

If this gets out, what are the four beauties? This is really called a beauty who brings disaster.

But Emperor Mingpei looked calm as he watched, and only said, "Why do you need to use the name of a star to support a retainer?"

At this moment, Fang Wuyou had become one of the people who knew the secret, but this topic was difficult for him. He said awkwardly, "I don't understand."

Emperor Mingpei smiled faintly and said, "The Big Dipper revolves around Ziwei, and Ziwei has always been the star of the emperor. Do you know why he did this?"

Fang Wuyou knelt down completely: "I don't understand."

Emperor Mingpei smiled.

Duke Qing is a shrewd and experienced person. He doesn't care about his reputation but only cares about the benefits he can get. But such a person would take the risk and do such a thing. This is worth pondering.

After all, wouldn't it be the same whether a master is called Zhang San or Li Si? But he insisted on using the name of a star.

Would he not know that this was taboo? Of course he knew.

If he knew, why would he do this? It was not in his nature.

Therefore, this explains that although he said on the surface that a gentleman does not talk about strange things, he actually believed in mysterious things in his heart.

He is praying for good luck, taking great risks to pray for good luck, so in this way, the traps he set before, such as changing his luck and using Tai Sui as a talisman, must have had great effects.

When Emperor Mingpei read to the end, his eyes suddenly froze.

He saw a passage in Liu Feiyi's confession.

Liu Feiyi said that when the Duke of Qing was still the Earl of Ruiqing, he lived with several people from the martial arts world. There was one who was good at martial arts named Ye Shan, who later disappeared.

He remembered the period before he disappeared. He met him once. He smelled of fireworks and his pants were burnt in several places. Liu Feiyi couldn't help but ask him where he had been. Liu Feiyi just said that he had been playing with fire.

After that, Ye Shan never came back, and a few days later, he heard that the master had become the Duke of Qing.

You should know that when Emperor Mingpei ascended the throne, he only promoted Earl Ruiqing to a higher position, but did not raise his title. It was later because of Earl Ruiqing's merits that his title was raised to Duke Qing.

And what kind of merit is his so-called merit?

There are three major camps in the capital: the Five Army Camp, the Three Thousand Army Camp, and the Shenji Camp.

Among them, the Shenji Camp was the Firearms Camp, which had a gunpowder storehouse. As a result, one time when Duke Qing was returning from military training with his men, they happened to encounter a fire near the gunpowder storehouse. The fire was so large that it almost affected the gunpowder storehouse. He and his men quickly rushed forward to help and put out the fire.

You know, a spark from the gunpowder depot could cause an explosion. In such an important place in the capital, if it really exploded, it would be a serious accident.

But no matter how they investigated afterwards, they couldn't find any traces. No oil, no alcohol, no signs of arson. In the end, it could only be attributed to an accident.

After that, Duke Qing submitted another memorial with a detailed layout that was indeed very comprehensive and was eventually adopted.

Emperor Mingpei certainly knew that he was targeting the Shenji Camp, and he did want to send him to the Shenji Camp at that time, but after weighing the pros and cons among all parties, he finally sent him to the Sanqian Camp and compensated him with a title.

But what if this was done on purpose? Find a skilled martial artist, practice fire control, calculate time and distance, and arrange the scene perfectly? Emperor Mingpei sneered.

He then said, "As for Hao Huashi, tell him not to expose himself and not to do anything unnecessary. The rest is up to him."

The shadow guard left in response, and Emperor Mingpei handed the letter to Fang Wuyou to deal with, while gently pinching his brows: "Today is the date for the college entrance examination, right?"

Fang Wuyou said anxiously, "Yes, Young Master Rong and Young Master Yan both left the examination hall on this day."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "No news from Concubine Zhu yet?"

Zhu Chanjuan is still at the stage where Emperor Mingpei was "angry" and demoted her from Imperial Noble Consort to Consort.

But she has no title, and now she is just called Zhu Fei. At this time, this surname seems very unfriendly.

Fang Wuyou didn't dare to look up, and whispered, "Yes."

Emperor Mingpei frowned, and after a long pause he said, "If it doesn't work, just move... I," he sighed softly, "I'm afraid the children will get impatient waiting!"

Fang Wuyou plucked up the courage to advise, "It's only been three months! The emperor is in charge of such a big country, and this is such a big matter, it's never too much to be cautious, why bother to fight for a few days and cause trouble... I think the prince and the young masters also understand."

Emperor Mingpei shook his head: "You don't understand, they are all good children, but they understand me, so I should love them! I owe them!! "

Fang Wuyou bowed his head deeply and dared not persuade him anymore.

…………

At this time, Yan Shen Jue was indeed taking the examination.

The Dayan Academy Examination, like the county examination and the prefectural examination, is held every year. It is presided over by the provincial education officials and is divided into two sessions: the main examination and the re-examination. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is very grand among the people, the academy examination is generally held around November 12th. This year is no exception and is scheduled for August 12th.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Mrs. Lin didn't come this time. Apart from hanging a sign "Six consecutive wins" on the door as usual, there weren't too many ceremonies and I finished the exam quite easily.

Tuanzi was diligently sending her to the exam as usual. When Yan Shenjue came out of the exam room, he saw Tuanzi waving at him from upstairs. Yan Shenjue went upstairs to drink a bowl of mint tea, then carried her downstairs, saying, "Tomorrow is August 15th. How about we celebrate the festival here before leaving?"

Xinbao nodded: "Okay."

Yan Shenjue kissed her little forehead. It was August, the sun was scorching, and her little face was sweating as she walked. "When I go back and change my clothes, I'll take Xinbao out to buy lanterns and mooncakes, okay?"

"No," Xinbao shook his head: "You go back and sleep, we will buy it tomorrow."

Yan Shenjue smiled and said, "Alright. Thank you for your hard work, baby. This is the last time. I won't do it again next time."

As they were talking, they returned to the temporary house. This time, there were too many shadow guards. Even the people from Chaotian Gate were useless. The whole yard was filled with shadow guards.

Yu Ru asked, "Master, are we going back to the capital?"

Yan Shenjue only hummed, Xinbao asked: "Return to the capital?"

Yan Shenjue nodded and said, "Even if nothing else, the provincial examination will be held next year, and my second brother will take the exam. So we should go to the capital at the end of this year, or at the beginning of next year at the latest. Master wrote to me last time that he has bought a huge farm in the suburbs of Beijing, and we will live there when the time comes."

He paused and whispered, "I think the emperor should think the same way. He wants us to not delay the Tongshi exam. Then, I guess the emperor should want to... return to our respective positions before the New Year."

Xinbao cooperated by lowering his voice: “Oh!”

She asked: "Second brother is taking the exam, aren't you taking it?"

Yan Shenjue said: "I want to take the exam next time. I am younger and I can't become an official even if I pass the exam. It is better to wait another two years."

Xinbao nodded.

Yan Shenjue actually didn't feel very tired. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he accompanied Tuanzi to eat mooncakes. They bought a lot of mooncakes in various flavors. He cut a small piece of each and tasted them one by one.

Xinbao was opening his mouth to accept the food when he suddenly froze.

Her eyes widened as she murmured, "Yan Zeti?? Is this the emperor's name?"
