Chapter 137: 1st Class 1st Place
In Beijing, Prince Xiao's Mansion
"Sir, now both the border town and the prefect have let their own people in, but their status is too low to say anything," Li Yu asked as he sat in the first seat.
"This is what I want. If you are too talkative, it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
"Oh, right, this is the account book of corruption and bribery in the Prime Minister's Mansion. We have also got all the evidence of the Minister of Revenue's crimes. Prince, are you trying to catch them all in one fell swoop?" Li Yu asked
"If we take everything out at once, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction to our emperor. Let's start with the Prime Minister's Office and the Minister of Revenue's left and right arms as an appetizer. It would be best if the evidence points to both sides. Let them fight each other. Isn't it fun?" Xiao Jue sneered as he looked at the two account books and some copy papers.
"How is our imperial concubine doing?" Xiao Jue asked casually.
"Same as always, every letter was intercepted, and after reading it, they replied that everything was fine." Li Yu replied
"Very good, I'm afraid they can't wait any longer. This prince will be getting married soon, and the capital will definitely be bustling." Xiao Jue's eyes were filled with poison.
"I would like to congratulate the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on their happy marriage." Li Yu's flattering congratulations made Xiao Jue feel happy.
"Well, thank you for your hard work in investigating these things these days. Try to find a way to get the position of Minister of War before my wedding. If necessary..."
"Prince, the Crown Princess, the daughter of Minister of War Gao An, seems to admire her very much..."
"Then let him live. He's going to retire soon anyway, so go and have a rest!"
"Yes"
Today is the day for the results to be announced. Wenjiu got up early. Before she went out, Xuanling ran in hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, the eldest son passed."
The old lady stood up quickly.
"Grandma, why are you so anxious? I told you that my brother would definitely pass, how could you not believe it?" She and Su Jinyu were the calmest in the family. Even the grandfather, who usually kept his emotions to himself, was a little excited. The descendants of a general family finally had a talent, they finally made it, and no one could say they were rough anymore.
"Miss, eldest son, first class, first place"
"Wow, big brother, you are so awesome. It seems that your brain is still useful." Su Jinxiu sincerely wished him well, and Su Jinmu did the same.
The whole family also congratulated him. Wen Jiu looked at this exiled immortal who was supposed to be extraordinary and outstanding. This was what he deserved, and he had to give it back step by step. The old general quickly waved his hand and wanted to hold a banquet. Everyone was also stunned by the good news. Only Wen Jiu and Su Jinyu spoke up to stop it.
"Why? This is a great thing, why can't we do it?" everyone asked
Wen Jiu looked at Su Jinyu, obviously asking him to explain, "We need to keep a low profile now. I just want to prove to the world that there are no useless people in the General's Mansion. We have both civil and military talents."
"Yuer is right. We are already in dire straits, but we were overwhelmed for a moment. Good boy, well done." The old general bent down and patted his shoulder.
"We can celebrate behind closed doors," Wen Jiu suggested. After all, Su Jinyu is so amazing, we must celebrate.
"Okay, let's close the door and celebrate on our own. Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and invite our cousin to come over," the old general ordered.
"Xuan Ling, you should go there first."
"Okay, Miss."
In the evening, the two uncles also came back. Everyone was discussing things in the study with smiles on their faces. It can be seen that Su Jinyu did a really good job this time. The two uncles have heard about it in the court. Many people congratulated him on the way back.
The old general remained silent and thoughtful, but he did not hide the smile on his face.
They didn't leave until the housekeeper came to ask for permission to eat. The old general looked at the old and young in the yard, all of whom had happy smiles on their faces, and his mind was more serious.
Wen Jiu saw the old general coming to support him, "Grandfather, are you thinking about your second uncle?"
Good girl, she is the only one in the family who can see his thoughts
"Well, our family is reuniting. The New Year is coming soon. I don't know when I can reunite with your second uncle."
Everyone paused after hearing this. Yes, they were all reunited, only the second son of the Su family and his wife had not returned. Then they looked at Su Jinmu.
He said, "My father said that it was his long-cherished wish to fight on the battlefield, and so did my mother. They could still spread their wings and fly there. My mother was tired of the intrigues in the capital since she was a child. She couldn't get used to it."
Although they say this, who doesn’t want to be by their parents’ side and serve them filially?
"Brother, don't worry. I'll accompany you to visit your second uncle and aunt after the New Year!" Wen Jiu pulled his sleeve and said. He knew that his second cousin was not talkative by nature, so he pulled him to talk.
"Good boy, I'm sorry for wronging you." Qin patted him
"I don't feel wronged. It's great to be able to go back to Beijing to see my sister."
The old lady had tears in her eyes. She looked at Wen Jiu lovingly and asked, "You are too fragile. You can't go anywhere. You can only be taken care of under my nose. Be careful or I will find a chain to tie you up."
"That chain hurts, grandma, can you bear to give it up?" Wen Jiu hurried to rub against the old lady.
"You just know that I can't bear to let you go, and you don't take good care of yourself, you little rascal, your grandma's good and darling girl, you have to be kept in a greenhouse. As long as your grandma is alive, you won't be allowed to run around for anything. The suffering you've endured can't be repeated. Your grandma was almost scared to death, you cruel bad girl, do you know what it's like to come back from Xiaoxiang? You still want to go to the northwest? Dream on." The old lady thought of the day when Xiaoxiang came back and was so scared that she quickly grabbed her hand and clenched it
"I understand. Grandma, please keep me as your precious flower."
"Is that the word used for a man who is used to talking nonsense?"
Once again, she sent the things to her second uncle to see them and check on the old man. Then she would come back to be a spoiled girl for the rest of her life.
The whole family was finally together. Wen Xi also congratulated Su Jinyu and said that he believed Su Jinyu could get the first place in the palace examination.
Peaceful
The palace is not so happy.
"Your Majesty, Su Jinyu is ranked first in the first class? Could something have gone wrong?" The imperial concubine was still fanning the flames.
"No doubt, I have read the papers and I know he is a genius. I did not expect that there are so many talented people in our dynasty. Why did he have to be born in the Su family? The whole family can become officials. This is also the second son who reads the papers." Emperor Yuan felt a little regretful. If he was not from the general's mansion, he would definitely be able to use him, but he was born there.
"Yu'er is so fair and just." The imperial concubine cursed inwardly. How could Yu'er not know how to win over his own people to the position? This person is from the general's mansion. The emperor has already made it so clear that he wants him to supervise the exam. Isn't it clear that he wants him to use his own people? Stupid!
If she didn't seize this opportunity, she wouldn't have her own people to help her get promoted. Recently, there was no response from the pigeons she sent. Could it be that the things she sent were all trivial? It seemed that she had to find the city's defense map, but where was it? The prime minister? The minister of the Ministry of Revenue? She still hadn't found out where it was. It couldn't be in the general's mansion, right?
