The day of the emperor's birthday is getting closer and closer.
While the civil and military officials were busy with the arrangements, they were also preparing for the selection of the crown princess, and things were crowded together.
Annoying!
In Hanzong Court!
The eunuch delivered a list to Liang Zongzheng.
"Master Liang, the list of girls who have not yet left the cabinet has been sorted out in the newspapers of various states and prefectures. After screening, you will all stay here."
Liang Zongzheng flipped slightly, put it down, and said to the eunuch, "Go and call Gao Shaozong."
"Yes!"
The eunuch hurriedly called Gao Bingze and Gao Shaozong.
Gao Bingze was very young. Last year, he won the ranking in the Wen Examination, so he entered the Hanzong Academy and became a junior clan official.
"Bingze, sit down," Liang Zong said.
Gao Bingze sat down and asked, "Master Liang called me, but has something to explain?"
Liang Zongzheng sat upright and asked, "You have been in this Hanzong Academy for a year, right?"
"Have it!"
Liang Zongzheng nodded.
"There must be no mistakes or omissions in the matter that the Crown Princess chooses this year." After speaking, he handed him the list in his hand and said, "On this list, there are the good sons who are qualified to enter the palace as candidates for the Crown Princess. I will enter the palace two days before the emperor's birthday, and go to Chuxiu Palace to have a physical examination and learn etiquette. You must not make mistakes, or if you miss anyone, you will hand it over to the inner court in person, and there must be no mistake."
After taking the list, Gao Bingze flipped through it and confirmed it again.
The list is correct!
Close up!
"Yes, I'll send it over here."
Gao Bingze got up, cupped his hands, and when he was about to leave, he said again: "Master Liang, the family matters, please mourn and change."
Liang Zongzheng nodded!
After Gao Bingze left, Liang Zongzheng's vicissitudes face behind him pulled down.
With one hand clenched into a fist, he made a muffled sound, and slammed it on the table...
After leaving the Hanzong Academy, Gao Bingze took the list to the direction of the inner court.
When I was going around the palace corridor of Mingde Hall, I just turned a corner when I bumped into a hurried little eunuch, and the list in my hand also fell to the ground.
The little eunuch was frightened and immediately knelt down.
He picked up the list, wiped the dust on it with his sleeve, raised it to his head, and handed it over.
"The slave knows what's wrong!" He lowered his head.
Gao Bingze is a literati, of course he wouldn't mind.
Taking the order, he waved his hand: "It's okay."
Then go away!
The little eunuch didn't get up until Gao Bingze was far away.
After Gao Bingze arrived at the inner court, he handed the list to the head of the inner court.
"The list on this list should be carefully checked and accurate, and don't make mistakes."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao."
The inner court official responded.
Only then did Gao Bingze leave with confidence.
Not long after, the number of people on the list came out, a total of 18 people, all of them are young ladies with background strength.
The notice booklets were also printed and sent out to the palace.
The girls from various states and prefectures, who received the brochures, could prepare and enter the palace a few days later. Those who could not receive the brochures were naturally screened out and had to go home.
General's House!
Ji Muqing waited for a day, and before the booklet came, he pulled a little girl in the house and asked anxiously, "Didn't you say that the people in the palace will start sending booklets today? Why hasn't it been delivered at this time?"
"Slave... I don't know, but the booklet in the palace has indeed been sent out of the palace, and many people have received it."
"Why didn't Miss Ben?"
"This… "
The little girl lowered her head and shrank her shoulders, for fear that Ji Muqing would use the knife on herself.
Ji Muqing stomped her feet in a hurry and anger, shook the little girl away, and ran out of the yard to find Ji Li.
At this moment, Ji Li also just came back from the Ministry of War, and was pulled by her.
Ji Li's face pulled down.
"What's wrong? So anxious?"
"Brother, it's already this time, why hasn't the pamphlet from the palace come yet?"
Ji Li frowned: "Today, the brochures have already been sent out, haven't they been delivered yet?"
"No, everyone else got it, but I didn't, but what happened in the palace? Big brother, I'm the candidate for the crown princess. Could the dog slaves over there miss me?"
"Impossible!" Ji Li denied.
Ji Muqing pulled him: "What's the matter?"
Ji Li thought for a while, and before taking off his official uniform, he immediately turned around and entered the palace, killing him directly at the Hanzong Courtyard.
At the Hanzong Academy at this time, Liang Zongzheng was just about to return home from get off work when he bumped into him with an unsure look on his face.
"Why is Ji Siyin free to come to this Hanzong Courtyard?"
"The pamphlets drawn up by the inner court are all sent according to the orders from the Hanzong Academy. This general wants to ask Mr. Liang, but there is still resentment in his heart. Is the public avenging private revenge?" Ji Li was not annoyed, but his tone was full of a hint of anger. Darkness!
Liang Zongzheng smiled: "Ji Siyin's words came so suddenly, this official has always been clear about public and private affairs, and never did anything against his conscience."
"Then how do you explain that this time, my Ji family did not receive a brochure for the princess's candidate for admission to the palace?"
"Really? But on that list, there is clearly Miss Ji!"
"Then why hasn't the booklet been delivered yet?"
In the face of Ji Li's questioning, Liang Zongzheng didn't hesitate, turned over a spare list and handed it to Ji Li.
Said, "There is indeed Miss Ji's name on it."
Ji Li looked at it, and it really did.
Could it be that something happened to the inner court
This Oolong incident quickly reached Concubine Xiao's ears.
Liang Zong is the host chosen by the Crown Princess this time, but Concubine Xiao is the producer, so it is reasonable to let her take care of this matter.
Inside the hall!
On their knees were Liang Zongzheng, Gao Bingze and the head of the inner court.
Ji Li stood beside him with a look of "you all owe me".
Concubine Xiao, who was high above, put her hands on the Jinxiu Luan collapsed, frowned, and stared angrily at the people on the ground.
"Who did this oolong thing?"
Under the sharp tone, there is a bit of gloom.
Among the three kneeling on the ground, the first to speak out was the head of the inner court.
With his hands on the ground, he bowed his head and turned back: "Niangniang, the brochures sent by the inner court were all drawn up according to the list sent by the Hanzong Academy, and there were no mistakes."
Snapped-
Concubine Xiao's hand clapped heavily on the soft handle.
"It's obviously wrong, but you dare to say it's right? Who gave you the courage?"
The head of the inner court was terrified and shivered: "The servant knows his mistake, but the list sent by Gao Shaozong really does not contain the name of the Ji family girl!"
Sang Lan on the side handed the list to Concubine Xiao.
She turned it over and threw it in front of the three angrily.
The monad was smashed to the ground with such force that the outer shell was worn away.
Concubine Xiao also angrily pointed at Gao Bingze: "Master Gao, why is there no list of Ji's girls on this list?"
Gao Bingze was surprised!
impossible!
Before sending it to the inner court, he clearly checked that Ji Muqing's name was indeed on it!
He immediately took a look at the list on the ground.
Terrified!
Not really!
