The prison of the Imperial Guards and the prison of the Ministry of Justice were both places where prisoners were held. The only difference was that the prison of the Imperial Guards often held officials and royal members.

The Ministry of Justice targets ordinary people.

Walking on the street, Yan Jiu thought for a moment, took out the few silver coins he had, and came to the famous Shiweitian Restaurant in the capital.

He can't afford to go to Zuixianlou, but Shiweitian should be good too.

"Three pounds of braised meat and one pound of good wine."

"Okay, sir, eight taels of silver."

Damn, that’s expensive.

Yan Jiu left with a grin, carrying the wine and braised meat, and headed towards the Imperial Guards prison.

Qi Yuan, sitting in the prison, was like a hunting tiger, always alert and waiting for the person who would come to contact Zhang Yuqing.

He wanted to see who would come to visit, talk, give something, or set a trap.

However, to his surprise, the first person who appeared in his sight was Yan Jiuji.

Although Qi Yuan did not attend today's small court meeting, thanks to Yan Jiuji's performance and his special identity, it only took half a day for Qi Yuan to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

What is Yan Jiu doing here?

"Let him in."

Qi Yuan stood up, and someone naturally put a cloak on him from behind. He was going to sit in the room next to the prison to listen and see what Yan Jiu was going to do.

Yan Jiuzhi had a smooth journey and after meeting Zhang Yuqing, he took the initiative to introduce himself.

Zhang Yuqing's residence is not shabby.

There was a bed and a quilt, a table, on which were tea, books, pens and ink, and a charcoal basin at the feet.

It seems that the adults have not suffered any harm.

Seeing all this, Yan Jiuzhi's expression relaxed a little.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the strange man in front of him and said with some emotion, "You are the first person to visit me during the time I have been in prison, except for my family."

Of course, several other ministers also sent people to visit.

But the meaning is different.

Yan Jiu was only the first low-ranking official to come and see him so openly.

His wife had a special status and knew that nothing would really happen to him, so after he was thrown into jail, she only sent someone to deliver a personal hairpin to him.

It means that we advance and retreat together.

Let him feel at ease.

As for the others, they all avoided him like the plague.

At that time, there were four candidates nominated for the Suizhou prefect, and the other three have not appeared until now.

It really proves the saying that people can only see the situation clearly when they are at their lowest point.

We can’t blame others for flattering the powerful and bullying the weak; we can only say that this is human nature.

Yan Jiu only took the initiative to explain, "I didn't expect to be chosen by His Majesty. I will visit you before returning."

"I never expected... that I would become the governor of Suizhou. I wanted to thank you for your recommendation, but then I realized your situation."

Feeling a little embarrassed, he took out two oil paper bags from his pocket and put them on the table.

"I guess you are not poor, but I have already bought the things, so please don't despise me."

Zhang Yuqing looked at the oil paper package. The oil stains were faintly visible, and the "Food is Heaven" seal on it was particularly eye-catching.

His eyes turned to Yan Jiuji. There were tiny patches on his clothes. Dazhou is located in the northwest and has been bitterly cold for a long time. It seems that Yan Jiuji is not rich.

The food and drinks at Food Is Heaven are very expensive, which forms a sharp contrast with the others.

Zhang Yuqing has experienced many vicissitudes of life and seen through the ups and downs of officialdom. At this moment, he felt a little moved in his heart.

He smiled and lifted his robe and sat down, saying, "I am really pleased that you can visit me. Please take a seat."

"Tell me about your selection process. His Majesty has a very unique vision to choose you."

Yan Jiu just scratched his head and sat down.

Qi Yuan next door looked at Yan Jiuji with great interest. Zhang Yuqing was right. The people His Majesty selected this time seemed pretty good.

But don't be careless.

He raised his hand slightly, and immediately one of the imperial guards pushed open Zhang Yuqing's cell door.

"Excuse me, my Lords. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he left with the wine and meat that Yan Jiu had brought.

Yan Jiu just looked shocked, huh?

Zhang Yuqing smiled and comforted him, "Don't panic, it's just a routine check."

Yan Jiu understood with just one thought that although Zhang Yuqing was imprisoned, judging from the environment and treatment he received, he obviously did not suffer any hardship. There might be some unknown story behind this.

Maybe, putting Zhang Yuqing in jail is actually to protect him.

"It's a good idea to check these foods. It's also a kind of protection for this humble official. I understand," Yan Jiu realized as soon as he reacted. If Lord Zhang ate the food he sent, if something unexpected happened, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

It would be safer to check it out.

"It's rare to see someone as insightful as you."

Zhang Yuqing gave a compliment.

Soon, the wine and meat were brought back, along with a portion of fried fish and a roast chicken.

Zhang Yuqing and Yan Jiu only talked about government affairs throughout the afternoon.

Zhang Yuqing knew that this person was sincere and grateful. He was truly a hidden dragon in the abyss that would turn into a spirit when encountering the wind.

When faced with rough diamonds, he was generous and shared his experience with others.

Yan Jiu only felt that he had been elevated, and all the confusions and difficulties he had encountered in his governance and jurisdiction over the years had been cleared up.

Murong Yue also felt that she had been sublimated.

At this moment, the extremely noble Majesty of Qing Kingdom is receiving education in Baoguang Hall.

Master Meng Xueyi was very excited.

More excited than those school kids.

The students' curiosity was focused on His Majesty himself, and their minds were not on studying.

This is the master of Qing Kingdom.

Your Majesty is such a beautiful, sweet and soft sister.

The little girls all had the same thoughts.

The boys' thoughts were varied, and those who were a little older did not dare to look His Majesty in the eye.

I just felt that Murong Yue was glowing all over.

The younger boys thought that His Majesty was truly majestic.

They had just seen with their own eyes His Majesty breaking an inkstone with his bare hands.

This is what happened. Meng Xueyi was extremely excited, although he always remembered Li Xuanji's instructions to start teaching from the basics.

But he was thinking in his heart, this foundation can't be too simple, right?

So he decided to start with Chinese studies.

"The country and the people are the king's most important responsibility..."

“To know is to know, and not to know is not to know…”

His voice rose and fell, echoing in the students' ears.

Everyone is also required to read aloud and write down at the same time.

Murong Yue held a thin brush in her hand, like a fledgling painter, facing the white rice paper, not knowing where to start the first stroke.

She looked around helplessly, and finally decided to imitate the actions of the eight-year-old boy sitting next to her and drew the first stroke step by step.

After writing a few words, the little boy gently poked the brush into a black stone, as if injecting new vitality into the brush, and the brush instantly became full.

Seeing this, Murong Yue also poked it in the same way.

This light poke, however, resulted in the loss of control over the force, and the top-quality Hui inkstone instantly broke into several pieces like a broken mirror, while the Yuzhixuan brush in her hand also broke into two pieces.
