"What about two thousand taels? What about three thousand taels? Or seven thousand? "Actually, I bought an inn with a small footprint, and it only cost 1,000 taels of silver, but the little county lord took out money six or seven times higher than the market price to buy it.

This time, the shopkeeper was not only unhappy, but also sad, and he gradually knew that this girl hiding in the counter was not simple.

"This ...... The villain is not the one who sells, and the villain is not the one who sees the money. ”

"Oh, that's fine, since I don't sell, I'm not such a good talker, if you don't listen, I won't let you get any of them, sweep you out of the house, and see what you can do to me?" The little county lord's deal is decided.

Chen Dongye, who was next to him, saw this, and two deep laugh arcs were sunk on his lips.

"That's good, it's very good." Chen Dongye laughed, General Cheng saw this, and suddenly felt that he was powerless, just when the situation was so deadlocked, there was footsteps on the long street again, and everyone hurriedly went to see the door, at this moment, General Cheng had a heartfelt smile on his face.

The Three Princes are here.

Chen Dongye and Guo Jingning couldn't talk, at this moment, the three princes and Li Zhongxuan were coming, Chen Dongye was dumbfounded, Guo Jingning hurriedly stepped forward and blessed the three princes.

Although the third prince is a little younger than Guo Jingning, he is the future crown prince, and because of this, she must grovel. The two of you, look at me, I look at you, the little prince smiled - "What's the matter, even His Royal Highness is alarmed, is there a crowd here to make trouble?" ”

Although the third prince was small, his eyes were very sharp, and he patrolled around, and finally focused on Chen Dongye's face, Chen Dongye frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to tell the matter of arresting the thief.

"Three watches in the middle of the night, is the pearl worth raising the teacher that night?"

"Your Highness, the pearl of the night is indeed ...... It's really priceless, Dad said, it's going to be given to the emperor as a congratulatory gift, but now it's gone, and the ministers don't take the night pearl and the bandits away, it's not good to go back, if the emperor blames it, I'm afraid that the head will fall to the ground. "Chen Dongye said it very well.

When the little prince heard this, he waved his hand again and again and shook his head.

"Don't worry, I promise that you can't find the pearl this night, and the emperor won't send you down, let alone do anything to you, you go, don't be entangled here."

"Your Highness!" Chen Dongye knew that there were cats that were tired, and he argued with reason, "My father played with Mingzhu that night, he was a baby, and he lost it at the moment, so why should I bear it?" Your Highness, let your ministers look for it here. ”

"Looking?" At this moment, the third prince was furious, and stared at General Cheng next to him angrily and angrily - "How did you do it, a general?" Since ancient times, it has been the lord who humiliated the ministers to death, you obviously saw Chen Dongye bullying the small, but you didn't even pay attention to it? Why don't you invite Chen Dongye and Chen Erye out? ”

"Oh, my Third Highness, don't be impatient." General Cheng approached Chen Dongye in embarrassment, "Chen Ershao, this is ...... It's already so hard to get out of the way, don't let the last general be embarrassed. ”

"Hey." Chen Dongye fell short, so he could only leave angrily, seeing that Chen Dongye went, Guo Jingning was indifferent, and the little prince stared at Guo Jingning, "What, does the little county lord's sister still want to watch the excitement here?" Do you still want to do business? Or, now, the prince will inform Lord Shangshu of the military department and take you back? ”

"Ah, Your Highness, don't do this, I'll go back." Although, in terms of seniority, the little princess is a little higher, but he has to listen to the little prince.

The third prince taught these people a lesson, and the people went, and he approached the counter.

"Sister Joan, come out quickly, and be a turtle with a shrunken head?" The little prince smiled, and Joan came out of the corner and couldn't help but sigh. "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I was really in danger just now."

"Hey, Zhong Xuan, look at how I behaved just now, do you have the air of a general's wind king?" Waiting for everyone to go, the little prince turned around and looked at Li Zhongxuan.

Li Zhongxuan nodded, "It was really remarkable just now, and it will be like this in the future." He looked at Shen Qiao'an again, "Come out of it, it's really too dangerous just now." ”

"How do you know I'm stuck here?" Shen Qiaoan came out of the counter and asked, Li Zhongxuan smiled bitterly, "I missed you suddenly, I went to your house to look for you, and when I saw that you were not there, I inquired." Then I found it, and a group of them were here, so I knew that there was a problem, so I found the third prince. ”

When the little prince heard this, the old god was smiling - "Haha, thank you for your great kindness." ”

"Chen Huaiyi gave me this just now." Qiao An gave the piece of paper to the little prince, and the little prince stared at it, his face suddenly turned cold, "Okay, good, the imperial court has actually sold the official lord like this, but this matter needs to be investigated carefully." ”

"That's what we found." Li Zhongxuan glanced at the little prince - "The night is long and there are many dreams, I will go back tomorrow, deal with this tricky matter, and we will continue to come out." ”

"Very good."

In the middle of the night, they went back, and along the way, Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan talked and laughed, envying others.

"It was really dangerous just now, there was a big tail in the back, and I didn't even know it." Shen Qiaoan sighed.

"Just pay more attention in the future." Li Zhongxuan looked at Qiao An, "Shall we take a walk outside?" ”

"Let's go." The moonlight was bright, Qiao An was overjoyed, and everything was fine outside, and the two of them were chatting about the future and the past while walking.

The next day, with these secrets in mind, several people returned to the imperial court, and the emperor came down from His Royal Highness Qiankun and directly summoned Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan, and the three princes stepped forward and told all the things about the recent private visit of Weifu.

"Is there such a thing? If you don't say it, I won't know that at this moment, the list was given to me. The emperor said, and stretched out his hand angrily, and the third prince gave the list to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he blew his beard and glared at him.

"How do you handle this?" The emperor asked the third prince, where did the third prince know how to deal with it, but the emperor just wanted to test her, the third prince looked at Li Zhongxuan next to him for help, Li Zhongxuan didn't dare to answer, but Qiao An made a quick knife to cut through the mess.

"I ask you, what do you think of them?" The emperor was displeased.

"Father, the matter has happened, deal with it immediately, let them understand the seriousness."

"How to deal with it."

"The killing worked." The child spit out these words, and the emperor was not satisfied when he heard this, so he patted the third prince on the shoulder, "Don't be so arbitrary for the time being, just let them be frightened birds, recently, what problems do you see?" ”

"Problems abound." The third prince looked at the emperor's eyes, dodged for a moment, and seemed to be afraid, too, the emperor governed the country and the people, and as soon as he went out at this moment, he brought back so many problems.

"I still thought that Haiyan River was clear, it seems that there is no such thing, let's talk about it, what are the problems." In fact, before entering the palace, Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan had already discussed with the three princes seriously and in detail, and this time, the three princes had to say all those sharp questions one by one.

He took a breath, lest the emperor be angry, "Father, we have found a lot of problems recently, but we still need to solve them one by one, Father, there are problems with the imperial examination system." ”

Hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he teased: "What's wrong with this imperial examination system?" ”

"Father, when you see someone, you also see a problem." The little prince frequently looked at Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan, in this case, neither of them could speak too much, and could only communicate with the little prince with their eyes.

"The man brought it?" The emperor casually turned back, wanting to see if there were any strangers around, but there was nothing.

"Father, that person has already been brought, and the son asked Xuanjiawei to bring it in." One line said, one line applauded, and after a long time, a gray-haired old man brought in, although he had put on clean clothes, but his expression was sluggish, and he was in a state of interest.

"What did you do with a gagged man brought me? Does this person have a grievance? The emperor hanged the people, and the line said, and the line approached the old man, who slowly opened his eyes, tired and tired.

Seeing the Son of Heaven in front of him, the old man didn't seem to be moved, muttering something in his mouth, his voice was hoarse, but he had words, and the emperor approached the man, listened for a long time, and understood.

"What's 'I'm in' 'I'm in' who's going to explain to me?" When the emperor heard it, the man's words were "I was hit" and "I was hit".

"My emperor, this person is almost seventy years old, he has been taking the examination since he was thirteen years old, and now, it is easy to enter the scholar and the first, but people are crazy, as if people in this situation abound, and the imperial examination system has wasted people's youth, so that many people have neuroticism." The three princes said everything in one go.

Hearing those words in one go, the emperor sneered and was noncommittal.

"Zhong Xuan." Turning his eyes to look at Li Zhongxuan, Li Zhongxuan came out of the ranks, and after saluting, he paused slightly, "My emperor, we have indeed found a lot of problems outside in the past few days, and in this year's autumn siege, we found the shortcomings of the imperial examination system, and also found that there are many people who are abusing their power for personal gain, and the list has been given to you, and the ghost is not someone else, it is the king of Zhongqing County." ”

"I know, do you mean that the imperial examination system has been abolished? If I abolish this imperial examination system, how will I recruit talents in the future, so the people included in the imperial court may not all be useful, but at least it can prove that they are still better than ordinary people, and at least they have worked hard for some things. ”

The emperor said.

"Weichen and the third prince, and Shen Qiao'an, have already discussed, the imperial examination system does not need to be abolished, but if there are really ambitious people who are difficult to pay, you might as well set up an opportunity for them to meet, through this opportunity to identify whether they have the ability or not, if they are really capable, why not hire them directly?"

Speaking of this, he looked at "Uncle Fan" next to him with compassion, "Your Majesty, everyone is like this, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing." ”

"I got it." The emperor made a final decision, "I'll leave this matter to you to arrange." This burden was given to Li Zhongxuan again, and Li Zhongxuan nodded.

"This matter will definitely boil over the sky, you should be ready to fight with them, I will not be blessed." Although the emperor agreed with Li Zhongxuan's point of view, the actual situation was that they still wanted to change everything with their own ability.

For Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan, he was reluctant to help.

"Joan, you come with me." Li Zhongxuan and the little prince were overjoyed, but the emperor suddenly wanted to summon Shen Qiaoan alone, Qiaoan was slightly stunned, got up and followed the emperor.

The emperor stood under the big banyan tree in the distance, looking at the sparkling lake, "Recently, you have worked hard. ”
