Chapter seven hundred and twentieth eight: the tricky letter
Chapter 728: Troubled Book
After a whole day of shopping, Chen Ao and his party returned to the Pingxi Palace. At this time, the sky was dim and the twilight had become blurred. The sky filled with sunset gradually became flat and the color was gone. Only the glazed tiles on the roof of the Pingxi Palace emitted a faint glow halo.
Chen Ao took the lead in dismounting, Liu Sheng quickly stepped out and said, "Your Highness, Lord Wu Bi is here."
Chen Ao said in a relaxed tone: "I know he is coming, so it's fine. Where is the person? Take me to see him."
After saying that, Chen Ao and his relatives said, An Ning said, "Prince, official duties are important." Zhao Ziheng yelled to live in the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi and sleep in An Ning's room.
Chen Ao said awkwardly: "It's not good to do this. If it is reported, it will be harmful to my reputation."
Zhou Ruo spat and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He can't ask for anything. Let's play Queer cards together tonight!"
Zhao Ziheng shouted: "It's hard to refuse your affection. You must live here tonight. Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng, go and report to my father, and tell them, I live with Sister An Ning, and Sister An Ning is not feeling well, and I want to take care of her."
An Ning couldn't help but smack her tongue and said, "Speak nonsense."
Zhao Ziheng took An Ning's hand and said, "Sister An Ning won't be surprised, right?"
Chen Ao rolled his eyes and went into the mansion. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw that Wu Bi's official robe had no time to change, and sat tiredly in the hall waiting. Seeing that Chen Ao was coming, he immediately said, "Your Highness."
Chen Ao laughed and said, "I'm calling Brother Chen, Your Highness is so angry. When did you come? It's not that you haven't had any food yet? It just so happens that I'll leave a meal here tonight."
Wu Bi suddenly relaxed and smiled, "Where is the mood to have a meal at this time? Today I arrived at the consultation bureau. I was really scared every step of the way. I was almost scared to death. I am so lucky that Brother Chen still has free time to go out to play."
Chen Ao sat down and asked someone to change Wu Bi to a new tea, saying, "I know you will be fine. Your temperament is as smooth as your father, and you will not let those scholars catch your handle. They have no excuses, so why can't they cause trouble?"
Wu Bi said seriously: "I came to see Brother Chen because of one thing. I have asked someone to write down the words of these scholars in the Consulting Bureau today. Many of them were shocking. I originally wanted to send them to the palace, but after thinking about it, I would rather let Brother Chen take a look first."
Chen Aohe nodded, Wu Bi took out a few documents and said, "These are some excerpts. Brother Chen can take a look. The others are also placed in the Consulting Bureau."
Chen Ao took it, looked at it for a while, and smiled as if he had expected it, "It is not uncommon for them to say these words, especially when so many scholars gathered together, they became more courageous. In addition, so many people looked at it, so they naturally had to say something loud."
Wu Bi said: "I just don't know how to deal with these statements, should I send them to the palace or burn them to death?"
Chen Ao said lightly: "Send it to the palace, don't change a word."
Wu Bi said worriedly: "There are a lot of words here to Brother Chen..."
Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Are you still afraid of people saying it when I reach this point? Speaking of which, these remarks have helped me a lot."
Wu Bi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that I will send it to the palace tomorrow morning. I wonder what else to give?"
Chen Ao pointed at him with his finger and laughed: "Brother Wu has learned to be polite in the officialdom now. How can he give me any instructions? You are the doctor of the Consultative Conference, and I am the King of Pingxi whom I am. Everyone does their own things. There is no need to say the two words "instructions" in the future."
Wu Bihe nodded and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, then I'll say goodbye first." After that, he stood up and said, "I'll be fined."
Chen Ao stood up and said, "Don't you have a meal here?"
Wu Bi smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't have an appetite, so I have to sort out these comments. Brother Chen, say goodbye."
After sending Wu Bi out, Chen Ao's face became solemn. He watched Wu Bi's sedan go further and further away. Chen Ao called Liu Sheng and said, "Go and send a letter to Mr. Chen, someone is about to emerge."
Liu Shengdao: "At this time, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Then I'll send it out early tomorrow morning and tell Mr. Chen that I'll ask Mr. Guojiazhuang for all the affairs of Mr. Bianjing, and I will do it myself."

The scholar's advice spread soon. That night, Li Bangyan realized something was wrong. What would these scholars say? Will the one named Wu be presented to the palace? Some words must not be said randomly. Who is Your Majesty? The most emotional thing is that once it angers him, things will be difficult to deal with.
Li Bangyan wanted to leave for the East Palace. He had just changed his clothes, but shook his head again. No, it would be useless to go at this time. Besides, it might cause suspicion from the East Palace.
Li Bangyan couldn't help feeling lost. If it was Cai Jing who worked with him, not the Eastern Palace, there would be no need to worry so much. In the world, I'm afraid that only Cai Jing can compete with King Pingxi.
Li Bangyan didn't close his eyes all night. When he woke up early in the morning, he rushed to Menxiasheng and asked, "Do you have any memorials submitted to Yuling?"
The recorder responsible for sorting out the memorials immediately said: "Which day hasn't been submitted to the Imperial Palace? Which one is the one asked?"
"The Consultative Affairs Bureau." Li Bangyan said.
The recorder said in confusion: "I didn't see this, but I heard that the Secretariat received many comments from the Advisory Bureau, which were verified and submitted directly to the palace."
Li Bangyan closed his eyes and immediately understood, and said, "Why don't you send it to the door, but to the Secretariat?"
The recorder said: "It was the proposal of the consultant doctor. Besides, this is not a formal memorial. The Secretariat also has the connection between the heavenly listening."
Li Bangyan sighed and said, "Call someone to inquire about what the Secretariat has checked, go ahead."
The recorder responded and was about to leave. Li Bangyan suddenly called him again and said with a sad look: "No need, it's over. What's the point? Just find out what you found? Just do your business with all your heart." He walked to the ear room step by step to have tea, thinking to himself, maybe this is not a bad thing, you can't predict it. Who knows what Your Majesty will think when you see these statements? Take one step at a time.
The Secretariat of the Secretariat was not far from his subordinates. At this time, Quartz had arrived. Compared with Li Bangyan, Quartz's face was not much better. At the moment, the whole of Bianjing was boiled with boiling water, and no one knew who could only laugh to the end. He entered the yamen hall and explained a few words. A Shuling Shi said: "Sir, Lord Wu, the consultant doctor, is here."
Quartz jaw nodded and said, "Where are the people?"
Shuling Shi led Quartz to a quiet ear chamber. Wu Bi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Quartz coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "Secretary of the Lord Zhongshu."
Quartz politely pressed his hands with a smile and said, "No need to be too polite, come, sit down and talk."
Wu Bi owed her body and sat down. Quarine took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and said, "Is your father okay in Quanzhou?"
Wu Bi said: "I am still healthy. This time, I came to the official position to send some comments from the Consultative Affairs Bureau. I asked the Lord Zhongshu to present it to the imperial examination on his behalf."
Quartz said, "Oh? What kind of verbal statement is it? Take it to see."
Wu Bi smiled and said, "There are too many statements. Here is a general content. Please read it by Lord Zhongshu."
Quartz took it, glanced at it slightly, his face changed suddenly, and his tone said in a bad mood: "How can you deliver such a thing? Do you think it's not messy enough now?"
Wu Bi said: "This is the idea of King Pingxi."
Quartz's face calmed down again and said lightly: "What does Pingxi King mean?"
Wu Bi nodded.
Quartz couldn't help but look puzzled, stood up from the chair, paced slowly, and said, "What are the benefits of doing this to King Pingxi?" He held his hands, as if he had realized something, and then said lightly: "Okay, put down the things, and I will enter the palace."
Wu Bihe nodded and said goodbye.
Quartz said to Wu Bi: "The Consulting Bureau is now a mess of porridge. Be careful and be cautious and protecting yourself is the right thing."
After sending Wu Bi away, Shi Ying carefully looked at the Chen Ci sent by Wu Bi carefully. Such a Chen Ci was as many as a hundred seals, almost all the words, and tried to protect the Eastern Palace and curse the King of Pingxi. Shi Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and called a clerk to come and say, "Prepare the sedan chair, I enter the palace to meet the saint."
After leaving the Secretariat, he went straight to Zhengde Gate and reported it to him. An eunuch led Zhao Ji into the palace and stopped outside Wenjing Pavilion. The eunuch went to report it again. Shi Ying heard Zhao Ji's voice inside and said, "Call in."
Quartz crossed the threshold, with a smile on his face, holding the brocade box full of Chen Ci, and respectfully saluted Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji seemed to have just finished writing a line of characters, asked Yang Jian to put them away, put them down, and smiled faintly: "Why is Shi Aiqing having the time to enter the palace?"
Shi Ying and Zhao Ji exchanged a few greetings, and Zhao Ji said calmly: "If you don't have anything to do, you won't gossip with the Three Treasures Palace. I'm afraid that it may not be as simple as gossiping with me. What happened?"
Quartz knelt down and said, "Hundreds of scholars from the Consultative Conference made a statement together and wanted to write to His Majesty. The old minister just received what he had in the Secretariat. Please ask His Majesty to read the emperor."
When Zhao Ji heard the word "Scholar" and finally felt a little pure. Although the scholars killed officials a few days ago, the national policy of raising scholars and governing the country in the Song Dynasty has never changed. Scholars are the cornerstone of the Song Dynasty, so naturally they cannot neglect them.
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "This is what scholars should do. If you have any words, please write to me and why should you ***? Take me and see what my scholars in the Song Dynasty think."
Zhao Ji cheered up and made people clean up the desk and removed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Quartz was already a little regretful at this time. Seeing His Majesty's blushing cheeks, he seemed to be looking forward to these statements. Will he be...
Quartz placed the brocade box on the imperial desk, and Zhao Ji smiled and said, "You are here to sit down and wait, I'll take a look."
Quartz had to rely on his order to retreat to Jindun, owed his body to sit down, and looked at Zhao Ji anxiously.
Yang Jian had already brought a lamp holder and said with a smile: "Your Majesty should cherish your eyes. Didn't you always say that your eyes are not good? How do you look at things in a dim and dark way?"
Yang Jian moved the lamp holder a little closer, and the entire imperial case lit up. Zhao Ji smiled and took out the first statement and said, "Don't nag, this is a serious matter."
