Chapter 40 Planning

"If I can meet the Holy Spirit during this drumming, I should also report the wine sacrifice to His Majesty."

"Yes. After the meeting of the three divisions, Jijiu never issued an edict to be exiled. Maybe your Majesty also discovered the clues."

"Then why is the sacrificial wine still sent to Leizhou?"

"When was the sacrificial wine distributed to Leizhou?" The person who asked the question was obviously lagging behind in the news.

"It's been about ten days. Alas, it was spring that day, otherwise I would have gone to deliver the sacrificial wine."

"I went there that day." Qin Baozhu said, her voice a little deep, "The wine sacrifice seemed fine, I guess I didn't suffer much."

Hearing what Qin Baozhu said, Ye Qinghuai also breathed a sigh of relief.

She once worried about Wang Lisong's life and death. Now it seems that at least he should be able to live safely in Leizhou.

"Did His Majesty approve the banishment of sacrificial wine?" Guan Shengjie asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen the edict, but without His Majesty's approval, who would dare to banish sacrificial wine?"

The students were talking about it, but Ye Qinghuai didn't say a word from beginning to end. But after hearing this, she suddenly felt that she should defend herself.

"Jiejiu was sentenced to exile by the Ministry of Punishment because he was involved in the spring ejaculation case. It was not His Majesty's order."

Everyone looked at her with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

Ye Qinghuai immediately explained: "I live in my uncle's house, and I heard them mention it by chance."

"Is He Sheng from the uncle's house?"

"Distant relatives, we don't have much contact with each other. No one in the capital has defected to us, so I'm lucky to be taken in." Ye Qinghuai said with a bitter smile.

She and her uncle were indeed not close. Except for family dinners on various festivals, when her uncle would come to the palace as usual, she rarely saw her uncle at other times.

"What's going on with the Chunwei leakage case? Why is there no notice in Beijing?" someone asked.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites changed the minister after the new year. Could it be related to this matter?"

"Why was Ji Jiu exiled for leaking the topic? Is it possible that the court suspected that Ji Jiu was leaking the topic? It's really ridiculous. Ji Jiu was suspected of being teaching at school and could not participate in the compilation of the topic. How could he use it to leak the topic? Such nonsense is really true.

It’s ridiculously outrageous.”

The listeners didn't seem to know what was going on. It seemed that the Ministry of Punishment not only handled the case vigorously and resolutely, but also handled it airtight.

There is nothing wrong with that. If there is any leakage before the Spring Festival, I am afraid it will make people panic.

"A few years ago, the emperor got angry at court because of leaks. Brother Qiao, the replacement of the Minister of Rites that you mentioned was the emperor's change because of this incident." Qin Baozhu said while eating melon seeds.

The scholar named Qiao asked curiously: "You know it again?"

"During the Chinese New Year, I heard what my young master said."

"You must be pestering the young master's family to tell you about the palace affairs again."

"What? Can't I ask?" Qin Baozhu said unconvinced.

Guan Shengjie ended the quarrel between the two and concluded: "So, your Majesty may really have doubts about the case of Jijiu. Although Jijiu has been exiled, we can give it a try."

"In this way, our demands are..." The young man sitting next to Qin Baozhu counted on his fingers, "First, ask the court to disclose the answer sheets of the candidates for this subject; second, reopen the debate in front of the palace; third,

, requesting the Ministry of Punishment not to detain students in prison without reason; fourth, retry the case of wine-offering and exile."

After saying that, the young man scratched his head and said, "Is it too much?"

"What a lot. Beating the Drum and Face Saint is such a big event. It would be inappropriate to mobilize so much troops and people for such a trivial matter that can be said in a few sentences. Yuxiu, please consider your words and write them down.

"Guan Shengjie said.

Lin Yuxiu was surrounded by everyone, writing quickly on the paper.

He is thin and has a bit of the childishness of a young man, but he sits upright, has an awe-inspiring look, and looks like he is writing for the people, which makes people believe in him.

"I'll go back to the liberal arts school later and inform everyone about the drumming." One person stood up, looking particularly excited. After he stood up, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "I'm afraid I won't be here for a while when I go back."

Then come out. We should agree on a time."

Guan Shengjie thought for a while and said: "Yu Xiu and the others submitted a letter at that time, and the governor of Jingzhao promised that there would be an explanation within one month. Logically speaking, there should be an explanation on March 13th. If there is still no explanation on March 13th,

There is no explanation, or maybe the people detained by the Ministry of Punishment are unwilling to be released, so we will initially set March 14th."

"This is very good. If we act too early, we will end up in vain."

Guan Shengjie nodded and said: "I will go out of the city to find Fu Zili and the others. Shengjing is now under strict control. It will take some time for them to return to the capital. These ten days should be enough."

"When they return to Beijing this time, it's best not to stay in the academy. If they stay in an inn..."

Qin Baozhu heard the hesitation in his words and said: "There is still some money on the account, you can use it first. I will say hello to Uncle Hu later and ask him to go to Shaodong's house to withdraw some more."

Ye Qinghuai was slightly surprised. The academy has never been a place to make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that Wenxintang was still a wealthy owner.

"While you're chatting, I'm still cooking on the stove. I'll go take a look at the back." After saying that, she pushed the plate of melon seeds in front of her forward, clapped her hands, stood up and went to the backyard.

She walked very fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short time.

Ye Qinghuai looked at her back and hesitated.

"Will He Sheng come with us?" Guan Shengjie's question brought back Ye Qinghuai's thoughts.

She raised her head and met Guan Shengjie's eager eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

"Let me ask you, do you want to go to Chengtianmen with us to play drums?" He asked again. Seeing Ye Qinghuai still looking at him blankly, he frowned slightly and muttered, "You kid, why do you look so stupid?"

Silly?"

Ye Qinghuai was still struggling with the matter of Qin Baozhu, but she didn't expect her uneasiness to turn into "dumb and stupid" in Guan Shengjie's eyes.

Lin Yuxiu followed Guan Shengjie's gaze and glanced at Ye Qinghuai, saying, "It's better that He Sheng doesn't come."

Ye Qinghuai didn't expect Lin Yuxiu to make a decision for her so easily, and couldn't help but look sideways at him.

"You are from the uncle's house. If you are involved in this matter and are found out, I am afraid it will make the matter more complicated and it will inevitably backfire."

Ye Qinghuai once thought that Lin Yuxiu was a scholar who had no ears to hear what was going on outside the world and only focused on reading the books of sages, but he did not expect that he could see through the pros and cons.

Not to mention Ye Qinghuai's identity as emperor, if she is really a candidate from the Guojiu Mansion, her participation in the troubles cannot be ignored because of her identity and background. To put it more broadly, it means that the Guojiu Mansion is deliberately trying to embarrass the Ministry of Punishment, and even

Even students' petitions will eventually turn into a party dispute. At that time, who will really care whether there is really a problem with the Chunwei list?

Lin Yuxiu could think of this, and Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Others obviously did not have such thoughts, but due to Lin Yuxiu's prestige, no one asked any more questions.

Ye Qinghuai exchanged a look with him and said with a smile: "Master Lin has thought carefully. I am really inconvenient to participate because of my status. I can only wish you all success and bring peace to the great scene forever."

She must participate in the Chengtianmen incident, but not in this way.

She had to wear a royal robe and a crown and walk out of the Chengtian Gate. Then, she would end this chaos with the majesty of the emperor.

"I came to Wenxintang empty-handed both times, and I feel really guilty. I'll go to the backyard and see if there's anything Miss Qin can do to help." Ye Qinghuai said and stood up.

"Brother He has been staring at Sister Qin just now. Could it be that he has fallen in love with Sister Qin?" The young boy suddenly spoke.

His words made everyone stunned.

"Tongyanwuji!" Guan Shengjie hit him hard on the head.

Ye Qinghuai was a little embarrassed by the young man's remarks. She said embarrassedly: "I don't dare to think about it."

After speaking, she hurriedly walked to the backyard. As she walked on the road, she could vaguely hear laughter and whispers behind her.

Ye Qinghuai had a headache. If they knew that he was the emperor in the future, they wouldn't think that the emperor was a deceiver.

However, the young man's words made everyone have no doubts about Ye Qinghuai's sudden behavior of looking for Qin Baozhu.

It was a blessing in disguise. Ye Qinghuai comforted herself in her heart.

While walking on the road, Qin Baozhu's words to defend her kept echoing in Ye Qinghuai's ears.

The poison was hidden up her sleeve, but it was hard for her to get rid of it.

So many things were beyond her expectations.

She did not expect Qin Baozhu to be so trusting and protective of the emperor she had never met, nor did she expect that there were so many people in Wenxintang today, nor did she expect that the changes in Chengtianmen actually started here.

If Qin Baozhu died here today, Ye Qinghuai, as the only outsider today, would definitely be dissatisfied. At that time, if she wants to step forward as the emperor to quell the people's complaints, I'm afraid it will be a fool's errand.

While she was struggling, she suddenly remembered what the young boy said.

"You must have fallen in love with Sister Qin, right?"

Ye Qinghuai suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Although this move was risky, she wanted to take a gamble.

She believes she can win the bet, and she must win the bet.

Qin Baozhu was busy in the kitchen. As soon as Ye Qinghuai walked to the backyard, she smelled the familiar aroma of food, which made the glutton in her stomach growl.

I have to say that Qin Baozhu's cooking skills are really amazing.

When Ye Qinghuai stepped into the kitchen, Qin Baozhu opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of hot air instantly filled the entire room.

"Hey, why are you here?" After the fog cleared, Qin Baozhu saw Ye Qinghuai standing at the door.

Ye Qinghuai turned around and took a look in the courtyard. Seeing no one there, he half-closed the kitchen door.

"I have something to say to Miss Qin."

Her behavior was so abnormal that Qin Baozhu also noticed the difference. She put down the rice shovel in her hand, wiped the water on her hand on her apron, stood up straight, and looked at Ye Qinghuai seriously.

"What's wrong? So serious." Qin Baozhu asked with a smile.

Ye Qinghuai looked at her deeply for a while and made up his mind.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I lied to you before. My name is not He Youwei, and I am not a Beijing leftist."

She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Baozhu with a firm gaze and said, "My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Qinghuai."
