Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 344 Delusion

The officials who reviewed quickly got results. They checked the fifty-five test papers, all of which were smooth writing and brilliant.

The fifty additional test papers were either not familiar with the literature and science, or had repeated violations of bans. Even the southern officials who participated in the review admitted that it was normal for these candidates to be mediocre and lose their reputation.

Judging from this result, the two examiners were not only not selfish, but were extremely honest and strict.

As soon as the conclusion came out, the government and the country were in an uproar again.

Immediately, several southern officials wrote a letter, impeaching the Zuodu Censor Wang Bo, who was leading the review of the test paper, blocked the way of speech and formed a clique for personal gain.

Officials from the north are not willing to be outdone and have spoken out to defend themselves. Since then, officials from the north and the south have joined forces to attack each other.

Culture and education in the south were prosperous, and six or seven out of ten officials in the court came from the south.

But the capital was located in the north, and the founding nobles had passed down through many generations, and most of them regarded themselves as northerners. After the founding of the country, Taizu supported a large number of northern families in order to balance the north and south forces in the court.

The two sides confronted each other, and they were evenly matched. For a time, the government and the country were in chaos, and all military and national affairs were shelved, and the government affairs were delayed a lot.

Just when the emperor was unable to bear the trouble, Lu Zhiyuan, who was then the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up and joined the ranks of impeachment of the two examiners.

Lin Zisu looked calm and shook her head and said, "I am just a woman, and the prince is just an idle vassal king. Even if I want to help you, the people from the East Factory will not listen to me."

As for the places where people in the backyard are going, she is too lazy to pay attention to it.

The only person who can be taken out has a straightforward personality and is from the Dian Prince's Mansion. Sometimes, in order to avoid taboos, he cannot be kept by his side openly.

The Dayan royal family was pampered and lived a favorable life. Lin Zisu had heard of it in her previous life. She didn't care much about how the cabinet made suggestions to the emperor and how to divide the interests of the royal family.

This matter is actually not difficult. When Jiaofangsi sent someone over, he also made a contract and a delivery. Since then, Lan Zhou has been nominally a member of the Dun Prince's Mansion.

In the end, the examiner Song Jilian was expelled from Beijing after dereliction of duty and was no longer involved in life; the deputy examiner Gu Menglong was exiled for his gang and private affairs, the Gu family was implicated, the adult male was exiled, and the woman and property were confiscated into the official position.

Lin Zisu was a little surprised. The bells and swallows in Xie Xi's backyard were different from those young ladies of aristocratic families. They were either servants from other people's houses or girls raised by wealthy families, and had few of them from the right path.

Not to mention, Dongchang just obeys the emperor's orders and cannot ignore the emperor's orders.

With the emperor beating, Qian Minzhong dared not have any plans for Dun Prince's Mansion.

Among them, there are naturally cabinet work.

"At present, I have accepted my fate. It doesn't matter whether the Gu family can clear up the grievances. As long as I can drag Lu Zhiyuan into the water, I can rest in peace even if I die."

As for Qian Minzhong’s request for Lan Zhou, that is not a problem.

The Gu family suffered unanimous disasters back then, and the whole family became victims of power struggle.

When encountering such an occasion, several maids at home cannot be kept by their side.

Xie Xi was just a free prince and had no value for his intentions. Now Xie Xi has gone to Dunzhou again, basically away from the position of the Supreme Lord of Jiuwu. I believe Qian Minzhong also understands this.

Like the original owner, they grew up in the Lin family in Huainan and have been in the capital for only a few years. They have no knowledge or vision. It is not a problem to take care of their daily life in the backyard. However, Lin Zisu is the identity of Princess Dun. Not to mention walking with other mansions, they have to go to the palace to attend a banquet during three festivals and two birthdays.

Lu Zhiyuan is not just a secondary assistant in the cabinet. Because it is rumored that he has noble character and a reputation for being upright, he is a role model for scholars from the north and even scholars from all over the world.

However, those people want to step on Xie Xi to achieve their goals, so she cannot let it go.

I heard that Dongchang came to arrest people. These people only thought that Dongchang was powerful and didn't even take the prince seriously. They were so scared that they were only afraid that they would get angry and no one would think deeper.

His turnover surprised everyone and broke the original balance between the north and the south. In addition, Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Menglong had a close personal relationship, his impeachment was even more convincing.

According to the regulations of the court, when the vassal kings get married, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs will be given in the name of the queen.

Because of his selflessness and reputation, Lu Zhiyuan was even more famous. Soon after, he was recommended by the Cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel, and was promoted to the Minister of Revenue and added to the Cabinet, becoming the youngest cabinet member in Zhengxing.

Speaking of this, Lan Zhou bowed respectfully to Lin Zisu, "Please help the princess!"

He was below Menglong, dozens of officials were either confiscated, exiled, or demoted.

This Lan Zhou could actually think of this floor, which is rare among the people in the backyard.

However, if this girl was determined to seek revenge for Lu Zhiyuan, it would be a little difficult to deal with.

Even though I learned to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, art, singing and dancing, I was a little active, and I knew some tricks of intrigue in the backyard. After all, in order to please men, I would not care about major affairs in the court.

Even the emperor, in order to balance the power of officials from both north and south in the court, was afraid that he would not dare to easily move Lu Zhiyuan's position.

However, Xie Xi was afraid that these palace maids would not serve Lin Zisu in good condition, so he refused all the rewards.

Lu Zhiyuan was born into the Lu family in Luyuan and has a good reputation. He is regarded as the hope of a northern scholar.

She originally wanted to take advantage of this incident in the mansion to make trouble in front of the emperor and let Qian Minzhong and other court officials be afraid of it.

Now the four maids around Lin Zisu come from their parents' home together during their wedding. In addition to being born in the Dian Prince's Mansion, the other three are the Lin family's children.

The Lan Zhou in front of him has a clean background, a good background, and some knowledge. He is a very suitable candidate.

Lin Zisu felt that since she had heard of Lan Zhou’s experience, it was reasonable and he should have left people in the house.

Now Lan Zhou is carrying the identity of the Jiaofangsi. If he leaves the royal palace, his experience will only be even more miserable.

Xie Xi was attacked by court officials for no reason, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not the drunken man's intention, but it was explicitly targeting Xie Xi, but in fact, the civil servants took this to put pressure on the emperor as an opportunity to purify the royal family.

Lan Zhou raised his head suddenly and stared at Lin Zisu for a few breaths, "The princess has a noble status and the queen's decree. If it weren't for your tacit approval, how could the Dongchang dare to take people away from the royal palace so openly?"

However, after having a conversation with Lan Zhou, seeing that Lan Zhou was elegant and had some knowledge, Lin Zisu thought of pitying talent.

"Lan Zhou, you are a smart person, so I won't go around with you. Your Gu family has been wronged for so many years, and you are determined to take revenge. I can understand that Lu Shangshu plays a great role in the court. Judging from the current court situation, it is undoubtedly a dream to defeat him."

Lan Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his face darkened, "What the princess said is that I am delusional. However, I have become like this, and I have nowhere to be left to nostalgic for a long time. Even if I only have a slight chance, I will always try it."

"Lu Zhiyuan has no way to move. I can mention the grievances of your Gu family to His Majesty."

Lin Zisu stared at Lan Zhou with a bright look, "I just don't know, in your heart, which is more important, seeking grievances or seeking revenge. If you insist on seeking revenge, you will have to do it."
