The Regent's Tender Darling

Early the next morning, when it was still not very bright, Liu Wenzheng got out of the carriage in an uneasy mood. He was wearing a straight official uniform and the wat board he was holding in his hand was a little unstable.

He stopped and looked at the palace entrance, feeling even more panicked.

After returning home yesterday, he thought about it carefully. Based on his experience, he felt that this matter was not simple.

Even if it was the regent's intention, this matter would not be easy to handle. Since the regent did not come forward, he would naturally have to use strong arguments to defend King An.

The most important thing is not whether the regent agrees or disagrees, but to ensure that the ministers do not object.

If the ministers object, the regent will decide not to agree to it, and if the time comes, he will be criticized for his incompetence.

"Master Liu." At this time, Lin Zhengyang, the Minister of Rites, was walking this way. Liu Wenzheng was startled at first, and then hurriedly carried the wat board to the palace gate, pretending that he was deaf and did not hear.

Anyway, he is notoriously hard of hearing, and sometimes he has to pretend not to hear.

He didn't want to get involved with the Minister of Rites now. Lin Zhengyang was from Prince Duan, and he was from Prince An, so it was better to keep a distance.

Thinking of this, he felt a little strange. Isn't this Princess Regent the daughter of the Lin family? Why are you still going against your father?

If you think about it carefully, you can still figure it out. If you are married to the regent, how can you let a woman make the decision?

What's more, the Princess Regent and Princess Duan are not from the same mother. Since Lin Zhengyang favorably helped his eldest daughter, I'm afraid the Princess Regent would have separated from Lin Zhengyang long ago.

After all, in this capital city, fratricide is no longer surprising.

"Didn't Liu Shangshu hear this?" Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites said to Lin Zhengyang.

Lin Zhengyang didn't pay attention, and just said: "Liu Wenzheng's old problem of deafness has not disappeared in a day or two."

The left minister of the Ministry of Rites clicked his tongue twice and said, "I see that Mr. Liu never turns a deaf ear in the court."

"How dare he?" After Lin Zhengyang finished speaking, both of them smiled.

Mao Shi four quarters.

Emperor Yan Anzhi had been sitting on the dragon throne for a while, and all the ministers were reporting. Only Liu Wenzheng, the official minister, lowered his head and was still racking his brains to think of his words.

After the Prime Minister said that all arrangements for the Shannan disaster had been settled, Liu Wenzheng took a deep breath and walked out of the courtiers with a slight bow.

"Your Majesty, Prince Regent, I have something to report."

Yan Anzhi said: "It's accurate."

I don't know if it was the misunderstanding of the courtiers, but since yesterday, the emperor seemed to have changed. He was no longer as unreasonable as usual, and now he looked like a king.

Probably he spent some time in Weiyang Palace to reflect.

Liu Wenzheng hesitated for a moment, swallowed his throat, and then began to say: "In one month's time, the imperial examination will be held every three years. In previous years, the prime minister served as the examiner, but now that the prime minister is old, it is really not appropriate. Because of the hard work, no one has taken up the post of examiner.”

The loud voice echoed throughout the hall, and those who looked carefully could notice that the wat tablet in the hand of the Minister of Civil Affairs was held too tightly.

"Yes." Yan Anzhi nodded, glanced sideways at the Regent, and saw that the Regent had no intention of speaking.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "This matter is indeed an important matter. The imperial examination is coming soon, so we can't delay it any longer. Dear ministers, is there anyone who can take on this important task?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Liu Wenzheng was nervous, for fear of being snatched away, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Prince Regent, I boldly recommend Prince An to be the examiner."

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent, and then all the ministers looked shocked.
