After a brief lunch, he continued to work absent-mindedly. It's just that the right eyelid is still jumping, and this went out to make a pot of strong tea, and it is still the same.

When the sun was about to enter the mountain, his heart dropped slightly, but the bell outside the door suddenly rang, and a scribe came in to report that someone from the palace had come.

Wu Shan sighed in his heart, but he also hurriedly walked out of the courtyard to welcome the order. It was Chen Hong's father-in-law who passed the decree, and he was an old acquaintance, but he listened to him read: "Wu Zairen, there is an edict!" ”

"Respectfully, St. Ann!" Wu Shan thought to himself: After all, the time to come is still here, so he quickly knelt down to receive the order.

"Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will quickly meet him, and there must be no mistake!" Gonggong Chen didn't talk nonsense, and immediately read aloud.

"The minister obeys the command!" Wu Shan got up to accept the order, his heart had sunk to the bottom, knowing that this must not be a good thing, but he still couldn't help but lean up and ask: "Gonggong Chen, I don't know what happened when His Majesty summoned me?" ”

"The slave and Huang Gonggong were sent out to do things, and they didn't serve by the emperor's side, I just returned to the palace and received this errand, who knows what's going on." Chen Hong shook his head reservedly, but his eyes swept the courtyard, and he whispered in his ear: "The emperor is reviewing the folds, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it!" ”

When Wu Shan heard this, his heart shook violently, and his face turned white instantly. He knew that his guess was correct, and this summons must be because of a fraud case, and it was obvious that someone had come to him.

Thinking that the mastermind behind the scenes was so vicious, he didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. I'm afraid that the other party will have a back move, and he will definitely not give him any chance to fight back.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and he doesn't have any good plan, only to take one step at a time.

"Father-in-law Chen, wait a moment!" Wu Shan arched his hand, went back to clean up, and then left the Ministry of Rites with Chen Hong.

The sedan chair soon arrived in the West Garden, and followed Gonggong Chen into the palace gate.

The West Garden is a red wall and yellow tile structure, the palace and the tower, the confusion is caused, and under the backdrop of the sunset, it looks brilliant. Since the relocation of the Special Saint, it has been renovated many times, showing a vibrant atmosphere.

Wu Shan didn't appreciate the Xiyuan under the sunset, and he looked preoccupied, following Chen Hong. After passing through several palace gates, you will come to a courtyard, walk to the white marble steps, and wait for the summons in front of this main hall.

Since the change of Renyin Palace, the Holy Shang has moved from the Forbidden City to Xiyuan, and it has been more than ten years. It became the center of the entire Ming Dynasty and the Zhongnanhai of later generations.

After Gonggong Chen brought Wu Shan here, he passed through the guards here and went out alone.

Wu Shan looked up at the palace gate, feeling depressed, knowing that this time he was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

Today's saint does have the skill to make the entire Ming dynasty into a hall of words, but it also gave him most of the surprises. His beautiful mentor Xia Yan was abandoned overnight, and his boss Li Mo, who was fighting with Yan Song, suddenly died in prison.

No matter how glamorous the official was, in the end, he knew that proving his innocence this time was not the point, but that he must not let the saint have evil thoughts.

Only, what should he do?

But at this time, Wu Shan suddenly saw Xu Jie coming from the cabinet side.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on that kind smiling face, but he felt that it was clearly dazzling, and there was a sense of disgust in his heart.

In fact, Xu Jie's smile is impeccable, he looks kind and kind, his smile is full of warmth, and his eyes are soft. It can only be said that Wu Shan is in a bad mood, and he can find fault with everything.

"Lord Wu, you came just in time, there are some things that the palace wants to discuss with you!" Xu Jie didn't wait for Wu Shan to speak, so he greeted him from afar, and he had a friendly image.

"Elder Xu Ge, if there is anything, you can tell our Ministry of Rites!" Although Wu Shan was disgusted in his heart, he still maintained politeness on his face and bowed back to him.

There is no chief examiner for the palace examination, and the emperor is nominally the emperor, so all the jinshi are protégés of the Son of Heaven. It's just that the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the organization, and the overall person in charge of the invigilation is Xu Jielai.

Whether it is the level or the distribution of functions, the Ministry of Rites should assist Xu Jie.

"This has to be discussed!" Xu Jie waved his hand gently, and continued: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the place where the palace exam is marked should not be in the East Pavilion!" ”

With the relocation of the saint to the West Garden, the venue of the temple examination was also moved to the West Garden, but the saint did not like the West Garden to be disturbed too much, so the place where the palace examination was held was still in the same place.

Wu Shan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

It was at this time that Gonggong Chen came out and asked the two of them to meet together.

Entering the wide hall of the palace, they smelled a refreshing sandalwood incense, but both of them lowered their heads, walked inside, and came to a thick curtain: "Chen Xu Jie(Wu Mountain) knocks on my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Through the thick veil, you can't see what's going on inside.

"Get up!" After a long time, a solemn voice came from inside.

"Congratulations to the Taishang Daluo Heavenly Immortal Purple Extreme Immortal Sage Wisdom Zhao Lingtong Three-Yuan Certificate, Ying Yuxu Chief, the Five Thunder Great True Person, the Xuandu Realm, the Wanshou Emperor, the Emperor of the Xuandu Realm, and the Xuangong is a great achievement!" After Xu Jie stood up, he performed another Taoist salute.

Wu Shan was about to secretly tidy up his official robe and maintain the appearance of being a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, but he turned his head to look at Xu Jie in astonishment, and at the same time was extremely embarrassed. Not to mention that you can get down with the sycophant, doesn't this fart blush?

"Well, I had an epiphany!" The tone inside was slightly warm, and he asked Xu Jie: "Elder Yan Ge has already told me about government affairs, and Elder Xu Ge doesn't know what to do?" ”

Xu Jie said Fang Cai's proposal to move the location of the examination file to Xiyuan, and then added: "There have been major flaws in the Enke Township Examination this time, and this Enke Palace Examination must not fail, otherwise it will be laughed at by the world!" ”

Wu Shan stood in the main hall, still thinking about how to deal with the Holy Lord's question for a while, but his body suddenly seemed to be pointed. He felt the blood rushing up from the soles of his feet, and his hair stood on end, as he twisted his neck in disbelief to look at Xu Jie.

He always thought that Yan Hao was the mastermind behind the scenes, and it was the old fox who led all this, and he was eyeing his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. But he never expected that it was this good old man Xu Jie who raised the butcher knife at him.

I know that the saint has the best face, but now he deliberately mentioned the big case of cheating in the township test again, and it was in this joint eye, what is this not a stab?
