Ping An was sensible in his actions. Liang Chongyue put down the report at hand, changed his mind, and decided not to give it to Ming Lang.

This thing won't be of much use to Minglang. It would be nice to not give it to her and let her check it herself. It would also be good to give her a sense of urgency.

"Minglang has been spending more time in the Imperial Examination Hall these days than in the palace. I have taken care of all her food, clothing, and daily needs. Apart from that, if she doesn't say anything, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, I understand."

After Ping'an came out of the Yangxin Palace, he looked up at the moon tonight. It was missing a corner and not very round. He hoped that this year's spring examination would end smoothly.

There will be some busy times ahead.

A young eunuch came in from outside. Ping'an took a few quick steps away from the Yangxin Palace and went to the courtyard, where the young eunuch was waiting.

"Master, everything has been handled at the Dali Temple."

Ping An compared the restored handwriting and naturally knew what was written there.

"This is a serious matter. If you can't do it well, watch out for your head."

Ping An tapped the young eunuch on the head and gave him a look:

"You will be watching over the Dali Temple these days. The officials involved in the restoration are not allowed to leave. You can only let them go when I call you back."

They are all court officials, and Ping An can only use this method to cover their mouths. The person who participated in the cheating in the Spring Examination can even reach the Imperial Examination Hall. It is obvious that he is not a simple person.

Even the Minister of the Taichang Temple could be used as a scapegoat. There are not many people in the court who have such ability.

Ping'an stood in the courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with his hands clasped together, hoping that His Highness could pass this hurdle smoothly and have a smooth coming-of-age ceremony.

The next day, Liang Chongyue had just returned to the Yangxin Palace after the morning court session. Before he had time to change out of his court robes, Ping An hurried in.

"Your Majesty, something happened in the Imperial Academy again."

Liang Chongyue did not stop taking off his outer robe. After he sat on the dragon throne, he gave Ping An a look, indicating that he should continue.

"Early this morning, a flock of birds appeared from nowhere and kept circling over the Imperial Examination Hall. We couldn't drive them away, and later they even rushed directly into the hall. The soldiers on duty killed many of them before they were completely driven away."

bird?

Liang Chongyue looked at Ping'an with a dark and unclear look. Where did that old guy learn this weird trick? He must be crazy enough to cheat for his grandson in the Spring Examination. He would use anything to do it.

"What's the situation at the Imperial Academy now?"

"Your Majesty, because the weather is cold this year, each room in the Imperial Examination Hall has been fitted with two small doors outside the bamboo curtains that block the wind. His Royal Highness Prince Bao has ordered all examinees to close these doors since the birds began flying, and not to open them without orders."

The candidates were not affected at all, but the birds came from a very strange place. His Royal Highness Prince Bao is still investigating where these birds came from.

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, with a pile of memorials placed on the dragon table.

"I remember that on the first day of the imperial examination, one candidate had a large amount of rice and corn kernels in his pocket. However, he was later discovered and expelled from the examination, and was not allowed to participate in this year's spring examination."

Ping'an was extremely anxious about the affairs of His Royal Highness Prince Bao. The heating was still on in the Yangxin Palace, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

After hearing what Your Majesty said, some things seemed to connect in my mind, but it seemed like something was missing in the middle. Even if it could be connected, it would not be smooth enough.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that these birds might be related to the examinees who were driven away that day?"

Liang Chongyue did not respond directly, but stretched out her hand to call Yun Ling to grind ink for her.

"I have already handed this matter over to Minglang. Whether she can handle it well depends on her ability."

This bird came here in a strange way. She was more curious than its origin. If the old man's grandson had to rely on this to cheat, why did he send him to take the imperial examination?

She was not afraid that he would make a mistake one day. If she was unhappy, she would just behead his grandson.

He's just a piece of trash, so just keep him at home. Why go through so much trouble just to send him to the court to cause trouble for her?

Liang Chongyue waved Ping An away and began to deal with memorials. As soon as he opened the first one, Liang Chongyue saw that someone was suspected of leaking questions in this year's imperial examination.

Liang Chongyue finished reading the memorial and fixed his eyes on the name at the end. He threw it directly to the ground without even a red-ink comment.

"No need to pick them up. There will be no shortage of memorials like this today."

Liang Chongyue stopped the palace maid who wanted to go forward to pick up the memorial. She originally wanted to call the system directly, but when she turned around and saw that it was still sleeping, she thought about giving up.

It won’t be too late to check after she has reviewed all these memorials.

Among the pile of memorials, five were suspected of leaking questions from this year's imperial examination. Liang Chongyue finished reviewing all the other memorials and raised his hand to signal the palace maid to pick up the memorials on the ground and bring them up.

Liang Chongyue spread out all the memorials except the one with the last signature in front of him. They were all from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel. They were quite comprehensive, and the direction of suspicion and reasons were written quite clearly.

As expected, money makes the world go round. That old guy must have made a lot of money over the years.

The Ministry of Revenue is under his control, so it should be a spectacular sight when the house is searched.

The system has been staring at the panel these days, and its eyes are a little tired.

Because I don't exercise and just lie down every day, I don't consume much energy and I don't sleep as deeply as before.

I woke up in a daze the moment the host threw the first memorial, but I didn't want to open my eyes or look at the panel anymore. I wanted to delay it as long as possible.

I'm really tired from working these days.

The system did not open its pea-sized eyes until the host had finished reviewing all the memorials.

"Host, is there anything I need to check?"

The hair on the system's head had all fallen asleep, and it came close to me sticky and looked a bit cute.

"Go and find out for me where all the private property that Minister of Revenue Fan Hun has been hiding all these years. I plan to wipe it out in a few days."

When the system heard the host start to order it to investigate Fan Hun, it finally didn't have to keep an eye on the group of foreigners at the post station. It felt that there was hope in life and rubbed its head against the host's leg in a flattering manner.

"The imperial examination will end in two days. Besides watching the post stations, keep a close eye on Fan Baojun. Fan Hun has tried to cheat for his grandson several times, and I don't think he's succeeded. The examination is almost over, and after three years, that old man won't have the chance or the courage to try again. He's going to make another move in these two days."

Minglang didn't know whether he could seize the opportunity, but it didn't prevent Liang Chongyue from leaving all the evidence to Fan Hun in advance.

Take it out when necessary to add brightness.

In addition to the post station, there is now another place to keep an eye on. The system is so annoyed that it wants to hit itself twice. Why did it open its eyes just now?

Why don't you continue sleeping? Aren't you usually a good sleeper? Why are you getting up early to pretend to be diligent?
