After simply using lunch at noon, he continued to work absent-mindedly. However, his right eyelid was still pounding, and he went out to make a pot of strong tea, but he still did the same.

When the sun outside was about to enter the mountain, his heart slightly set a little, but the bell outside the door suddenly rang, and a clerk came in to report to the people coming from the palace.

Wu Shan felt a "knock" in his heart, but he hurriedly walked out of the yard to welcome the imperial edict. The person who sent the imperial edict was Eunuch Chen Hong, who was considered an old acquaintance with him, but listened to him saying, "Wu is in a man, and he has an imperial edict!"

"I respectfully ask the saint for peace!" Wu Shan thought to himself: What should come is coming after all, so he quickly knelt down and received the order.

"You are told to meet Wu Shan, the Minister of Rites, to see you quickly, and there must be no mistakes!" Eunuch Chen did not speak nonsense and immediately recited aloud.

"I am obeying the edict!" Wu Shan stood up to receive the edict, his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley. He knew that this must be not a good thing, but he couldn't help but approach and asked, "Eunuch Chen, I don't know what the matter is that Your Majesty summoned him?

”

"I was sent out to do things outside and didn't serve the emperor. I got this job as soon as I returned to the palace. I didn't know what was going on." Chen Hong shook his head reservedly, but his eyes swept the yard.

He approached his ear and whispered: "The emperor is reviewing the memorials, but he doesn't know whether it is related to this matter!"

When Wu Shan heard this, his heart suddenly shook and his face turned pale. He knew that he was right that the summoning must be due to a fraud case. It was obvious that someone came to the book to participate in him.

When he thought of the mastermind behind the scenes so viciously, he didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. I'm afraid the other party will have a second move and will definitely not give him any chance to fight back.

But now that things have come to this point, he has no good plans, he can only take one step at a time.

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Chen, wait for a moment!" Wu Shan bowed, went back to clean up, and then left the Ministry of Rites with Chen Hong.

The sedan chair soon arrived at Xiyuan and followed Eunuch Chen into the palace gate.

The West Garden is made of red walls and yellow tiles, with palaces and towers, and is chaotic and magnificent under the setting sun. Especially after the relocation of the emperor, the place has been repaired many times, showing a vibrant and surging atmosphere.

But Wu Shan did not appreciate the Xiyuan under the sunset. He looked worried and followed Chen Hong. After passing several palace gates, he came to a courtyard, walked to the white marble steps, and waited for summoning in front of the hall.

.

Since the Renyin Palace changed, the emperor moved from the Forbidden City to Xiyuan for more than ten years. This place has become the center of the entire Ming Dynasty and the Zhongnanhai in later generations.

After Eunuch Chen brought Wu Shan here, he passed through the guards here and went out alone to report.

Wu Shan looked up at the palace gate, feeling depressed, knowing that this time was probably a great disaster.

Today's emperor does have the skills to turn the entire Ming Dynasty into a decree, but it also gave him many surprises. His glorious mentor Xia Yan was abandoned overnight, and his superior Li Mo, who was confronted by Yan Song, suddenly died of weight loss from

In prison.

No matter how glorious the official was, he was in the end with the thought of the saint. He knew that this time, he was not the point of proving his innocence, but that he must not have evil thoughts.

But, what should he do?

But at this moment, Wu Shan suddenly saw Xu Jie coming from the side of Zhilu in the cabinet.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on the kind smiling face, but he felt it was clearly dazzling and felt a sense of disgust in his heart.

In fact, Xu Jie's smile is impeccable, he looks kind and kind, his smile is full of warmth, and his eyes also look soft. I can only say that Wu Shan is in a bad mood and can tell anything wrong.

.

"Mr. Wu, you are here just in time. Some things are about to discuss with you in the palace examination!" Xu Jie bowed and greeted him from afar without waiting for Wu Shan to speak, with a vivid and friendly image.

"Master Xu Ge, if you have anything, please tell us the Ministry of Rites!" Although Wu Shan was disgusted, he still maintained a polite face and bowed to him and said.

The palace examination does not have a chief examiner, but is nominally the emperor, so all the Jinshi are disciples of the emperor. Only the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the organization, and Xu Jie is responsible for the general invigilator.

Whether in terms of level or functional allocation, the Ministry of Rites should assist Xu Jie.

"This matter must be discussed!" Xu Jie waved his hand gently and continued: "It's not a big deal, but the location of the palace examination papers should not be in Dong Pavilion!"

As the emperor moved to Xiyuan, the venue for the palace examination was also moved to Xiyuan. However, the emperor did not like the Xiyuan to be disturbed too much, so the examination location for the palace examination was still retained.

Wu Shan frowned, always feeling something was wrong with this, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

It was at this time that Eunuch Chen came out and asked them to meet together.

Entering the wide hall of the palace, I smelled a refreshing sandalwood. But both of them lowered their heads and walked inside, and came to a thick and wonderful curtain: "My memory, Xu Jie (Wu Shan) kowtowed to my emperor

, Long live my emperor!"

Through the thick wonderful curtain, I couldn't see the situation inside.

"All get up!" After a long time, a solemn voice came from inside.

"Congratulations to the Supreme Daluo Heavenly Immortal Zi Ji Changsheng Shengzhi Zhaoling Tong Sanyuan Zheng Ying Yuxu General Manager of the Five Thunders and the Emperor Wanshou of Xuandu Realm, and his mysterious skills are accomplished!" After Xu Jie stood up, he performed another Taoist ritual.

.

Wu Shan was about to secretly sort out his official robe and maintain his appearance as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but he turned his head in surprise and looked at Xu Jie, and was also extremely embarrassed. Not to mention that he could fall behind after flattery, wouldn't he blush with this flattery?

?

"Well, I have some sudden enlightenment!" The tone inside was slightly warm, and he asked Xu Jie again: "Just Ge Lao Yan has already told me about government affairs. Why is Mr. Xu not sure what happened?"

Xu Jie then said the suggestion that he had just proposed to move the review location to Xiyuan, and then added: "There have major mistakes in this Enke provincial examination. I have not missed this Enke palace examination, otherwise I will suffer.

People all over the world laugh!”

Wu Shan was standing in the hall, thinking about how to deal with the Emperor's question for a while, but his body suddenly felt like he had a hole in his mouth. He felt blood rushing up from the soles of his feet, his sweat hair blew up, and he twisted in disbelief.

Looking over his neck and looking at Xu Jie.

He always thought that Yan Hao was behind the scenes, and that old fox was the one who led all this and set his sights on him as the Minister of Rites. But he never expected that the old good man Xu Jie raised his butcher knife to him.
