536 Cheating in the imperial examination (3)
Her aunt opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything. She wasn’t sure if she had forgotten or had no impression of such a large ” profit “.
At this moment, Leena asked in a tone of admiration, “”May I know Lord Xu’s name?”
She had learned this way of asking questions when she was wandering around Dafeng.
“Xu Qian!”
“Xu … Xu Qi. an …” Leena tilted her head and thought for a long time before suddenly screaming, ” you are Xu Qi ‘an. Didn’t you die in Yunzhou? ”
The aunt and Xu lingyue looked over suspiciously.
This foreign girl claimed to know Xu Qi ‘an, but she didn’t know that she had come back to life. Then, what was she doing here?
“Let’s talk in private.”
Xu Qi ‘an pulled Lina out of the side hall and stopped by the flowerbed. He explained,
“I’m not dead. Li Miaozhen made a mistake. Well, I’m actually a peripheral member of the Heaven and Earth Society. Although I don’t have the corresponding fragment of the Book of the Earth, I know your matters like the back of my hand.”
“No wonder Daoist priest Golden Lotus asked me to come and find you.” Lina smiled happily. She easily believed Xu Qi ‘an’s words without any doubt.
So easy to deceive … this is a secret, ” Xu Qi ‘an said sternly. you can’t reveal it to anyone, not even the members of the Tiandi society.
“Alright!”
Lina smiled sweetly and nodded her head vigorously. Her smile was very bright and beautiful. The southern border was hot, and Lina’s skin was a healthy wheat color. However, in the eyes of the great Judge beauty, who revered white skin and beauty, she was just a little dark-skinned.
“Let’s go eat.”
How good would it be if everyone in the world was as innocent and naive as number five. Xu Qi ‘an looked at the lively back and sighed with emotion.
He still had many things to ask number five, such as how she knew that it was number three who picked up the silver and not a friend out of nothing.
There was no rush. People with simple personalities were usually more stubborn. If they said to keep it a secret, they would keep it a secret.
However, her mouth was soft when it came to eating people. After a few more days of eating at home, as long as she had a little conscience, she would know that Bai Yan was wrong.

The inner Pavilion.
Wang zhenwen, dressed in a crimson robe, was bending over his desk and reviewing memorials. He had already been sitting there for four hours. He had gone to the toilet several times in between, and the rest of his time was devoted to official business.
The cabinet was equivalent to the emperor’s private secretary and had great power, far greater than the six ministries.
All the memorials of the court, big and small, and even the suggestions given to the Emperor by the common people, were collected by the Minister of administration and presented to the Emperor by the Bureau of rites before being submitted to the cabinet.
The cabinet was in charge of drafting the opinions, and then the Bureau of rites would report the opinions to the Emperor to decide how to deal with it. Finally, it would be checked by the six ministries.
During Emperor Yuan jing’s reign, the Minister of Foreign Affairs directly handed the memorial to the cabinet, where the cabinet drafted the opinions on the handling of the matter and finally handed it to Emperor Yuan jing.
A process was omitted in the middle.
This was because Emperor yuanjing believed that the extra process in the middle hindered his cultivation.
It was precisely this process that was omitted in the middle that was the most fishy. Because in this way, what Emperor Yuan jing saw was only the edict that the inner Pavilion had let him see.
Of course, although Emperor Yuan jing was not a good Emperor, he was an Emperor who was good at using power. In order to prevent the Civil officials from having too much power and overthrowing the Imperial power, he thought of a way that had the best of both worlds.
The name of this method was “Wei Yuan.”
In terms of the overall situation, the various parties and Wei Yuan’s party were like fire and water. In terms of the small scale, the various parties were fighting fiercely.
Emperor Yuan jing was in charge of maintaining the balance and cultivating with peace of mind.
Wang zhenwen opened the last Memorial. After reading its contents, he muttered to himself and sat quietly for a long time. Then, he took out a piece of paper, wrote down his suggestion, and pasted it on the memorial.
After doing all this, it was dusk.

In the evening, Xu lingying’s mortal enemy appeared at the Xu family’s dining table.
