After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 22 Invitation

The past few days ago, Ye Qinghuai was in the best mood since his rebirth.

Although the Ministry of Punishment reported on the same day that no shops selling test questions were found in the West Market, this was within Ye Qinghuai's expectation.

Gambling was allowed in the shop during the curfew, which shows that the shop not only had a close relationship with the Ministry of Rites, but also had a close relationship with the Forbidden Army or the Gyeonggi Guard.

Ye Qinghuai exposed the leaked questions in the scientific examination in front of all the officials in the court in order to catch Gu Shihai and the others off guard, and to make the case a reality in court, so that they would not mess around later, and finally hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment, and become a

A dead end.

But since she acted in such a high profile, others would naturally tip off the shop.

Sure enough, when the Ministry of Justice took Kanhe to the imperial army to transfer people, the shop had already disappeared without a trace in the surging crowds of the West Market.

Gu Shihai has recommended many people in the court over the years, and all ministries and departments have his disciples. It is absolutely impossible to defeat him in one fell swoop. Being able to defeat him as the Minister of Rites this time can be regarded as an achievement.

More importantly, after this incident, the Spring Wei fraud was cut off from its roots, and the Chengtianmen Incident would not have happened.

This made Ye Qinghuai breathe a big sigh of relief.

In addition to feeling relaxed, Ye Qinghuai has also relaxed in recent schoolwork.

Lu Yanchen took a leave of absence.

It was not Ding You. The report said that he occasionally felt cold and was afraid that the emperor might be sick, so he took a few days' leave.

Ye Qinghuai was a little skeptical.

If he was really a weak scholar, Fenghan would be fine. But judging from his ability to carry Ye Qinghuai over the wall that day, he had been practicing martial arts for a long time. When he sent Ye Qinghuai back to the palace the day before, he still

He was so lively, so why did he lie down the next day and say he was so sick that he didn't even dare to enter the palace?

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but think of the blood stains on her body that day.

If the blood wasn't Lu Yanchen's, it should be someone else's. Perhaps the carriage wasn't rented by Lu Yanchen for his own use, but because he was taking someone with him who needed to ride.

This person must be someone very important to him, so important that he is willing to use the gold medal given by the late emperor for this person.

He had kept this gold medal for two years without ever taking it out, so much so that Ye Qinghuai didn't even know it existed. Logically speaking, given his temperament, he would not use the gold medal given by the late emperor for his own use.

That he would do this means that he has no other choice.

Ye Qinghuai then had a bold idea.

Maybe this man was seriously injured but couldn't go to a regular medical center for treatment, so Lu Yanchen had to take him to the ghost market for treatment despite the curfew.

After all, as long as the price can be negotiated, the doctors in the ghost market would even dare to treat prisoners of the imperial court.

From this point of view, it is highly debatable whether the sick leave reported by Lu Yanchen is true or false.

Another thing that makes Ye Qinghuai feel relieved is that Li Baoquan hasn't been nagging in her ears much recently.

Most of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were suspended due to scientific examination cases, so there was a shortage of manpower for the preparation of various festivals. Li Baoquan and a group of young eunuchs went to help the Ministry of Etiquette.

——

The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is the last morning court meeting before the year.

Most of the turmoil over the scientific expedition case has passed, and the courtroom has lost the tense and tense atmosphere of the past few days, and is filled with a somewhat festive atmosphere.

Ye Qinghuai didn't want to dampen everyone's interest, so she asked the newly appointed Minister of Rites to read out the ancestor worship matters on the first day of the new year, and then dismissed the court officials.

It must be said that since the last time she lost her temper in court and deposed Shi Taiping in public, the way the courtiers looked at her changed.

Although it can't be said to be awe or even respect, at least she is no longer an air-like existence in this court.

At least, the courtiers could already see her.

Ye Qinghuai believes that this is the first step.

The first step is always the hardest.

So she was still happy.

After the court came down, Ye Qinghuai saw that it was still early, so she went to Wenxuan Hall directly. Although Lu Yanchen took leave, she did not put down her homework. She took at least an hour, and at most a few hours, to study in the palace every day.

Reading in Wenxuan Hall.

However, not long after, Chen Yuansi chased her to Wenxuan Hall.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with various ministries in the past few days and have initially drafted the proposal for these six people to participate in this Spring Festival." Chen Yuansi handed over a document.

Ye Qinghuai opened it and looked at the names on it, and listened to Chen Yuansi's statement: "Two of these six people are from the Ministry of Rites, and the remaining four are selected from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Industry and the Taiqing Pavilion. Wen Xin, the Minister of Rites

Peng Chenwei, who was involved in Zhonghe’s case, has investigated clearly and has nothing to do with this leak.”

When Ye Qinghuai saw the last name on the fold, he paused and asked, "Why did Mr. Chen Ge also include my husband?"

"The scientific examination is to select talents for the imperial court. It can be said that the foundation of the imperial court is the foundation of the great scenery. Lu Yanchen passed the 20th grade. In terms of talent, no one in the government or the public can match him. In Chunwei, he compiled the examination questions.

It's most appropriate. This matter concerns Zuo Zuo, so the veteran has the courage to ask His Majesty to second him for a few days." After Chen Yuansi finished speaking, he gave a big salute to Ye Qinghuai.

After Lu Yanchen rejected Chen Yuansi's marriage proposal, the two had almost no contact with each other anymore, and there were many rumors in the court that they were not compatible. Ye Qinghuai did not expect that he would actually speak for Lu Yanchen like this, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

.

"Mr. Chen Ge said so, can I still not let him go?" Ye Qinghuai said, helped Chen Yuansi up, and said, "Spring will be here in early February. Mr. Chen Ge, time is tight, I have to work hard for you.

Already."

"It is the duty of an old minister to share your Majesty's worries. Your Majesty, please don't say that." Chen Yuansi said and stood up tremblingly.

Among all the ministers, Chen Yuansi respected Ye Qinghuai, the puppet emperor, the most, and he never exceeded the rules in his words and deeds. This made Ye Qinghuai very comfortable.

When he was still in the reign of the late emperor, Gu Shihai was highly regarded by the emperor for his meritorious service in the Renshen Incident. Within a year, he was promoted several levels and became very popular in the court. At that time, Chen Yuansi did not have much to deal with him. Later, Ye Qing

After Huai ascended the throne, the two of them, one as the first assistant and the other as the second assistant, were no longer able to deal with each other. They almost always had to fight over every big event.

Now that Ye Qinghuai intended to suppress Gu Shihai, he also wanted to win over Chen Yuansi, so he was even more kind and courteous to Chen Yuansi. Seeing that Chen Yuansi was about to resign, Ye Qinghuai remembered something.

"Mr. Chen Ge, I am going to visit your house in the next two days. Were you there all the time before?"

Chen Yuansi looked at Ye Qinghuai with some surprise, with some joy in his eyes, and said: "I was just planning to invite your Majesty to have a meal at the mansion, but thinking of your Majesty's hard work recently, I didn't dare to bother Your Majesty."

"What did Mr. Chen Ge say? What kind of annoyance is this? I go to your house every year, have you forgotten?"

What Ye Qinghuai said was true. The emperor would visit the homes of important ministers every year. This has been an unwritten custom in Dajing for many years.

"Your Majesty came on the 29th last year, and the 27th the year before that. I dare not forget it. Since your Majesty said so, I am bold. Your Majesty, it is better to choose a day than to hit it. How are you doing today?"

Ye Qinghuai looked at Chen Yuansi's troubled face and suddenly felt that he was very kind and no longer looked like a powerful minister.

She stood up and said, "Today is very good."

Then she told the eunuch standing outside: "Fu Hai, go find Li Baoquan and ask him to prepare the chariot and leave the palace."
