Jinling Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xiang Yanran leaned on the dragon chaise in the hall, flipping through the heavy bamboo slips facing each other on the table, and asked lightly:

"What is the Prime Minister's Mansion doing this year? It has not been sent here yet? It's been two days since Laba is coming. Can my Laba Palace Examination be held on schedule?"

Standing aside and bent down, the eunuch Cai and the eldest eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I went to urge you at noon, but I heard from Cui Changshi of the Prime Minister's Office that there are a lot of recommendations this year, and there are a full ox cart more than in previous years.

It seems... it was Xiaohun Hou Chu Tianxiu who gave a cart of bamboo slips to recommend the letter, and I don’t know what they wrote. It is probably because of this matter that the Prime Minister’s Mansion has been delayed!"

"Oh, there is such a rare thing?"

Emperor Xiang Yanran put down the bamboo slips and said strangely: "I punished Xiaohun Hou to marry into the Prince Ping's Mansion to make him peaceful. I will make trouble in Jinling City all day long, and the trouble is so chaotic that the prefect of Jinling has already sued him for dozens of complaints.

He went into the Pingwang Mansion to be a son-in-law and didn't stop, but he actually wrote a ox cart to recommend himself to become an official. Is he crazy to be an official?!

Is there a lot of mirrors in his family? I have many. Tomorrow, you will send someone to send him a bronze mirror and ask him to clean his face and wake him up every day."

"yes!"

Cai and the eunuch heard the emperor's joke and could only smile awkwardly: "This little Hunhou... acts differently than ordinary people, and is indeed a little confused."

"I heard that he has a nickname, the leader of the four major playboys in Jinling City. Is there any such thing?"

Xiang Yanran asked casually again.

"This~, the emperor, there is indeed such a rumor. However, these are all jokes in the city and should not be too true."

Cai and the eunuch hesitated for a moment.

Since the emperor mentioned this, he knew that he could not hide it, so he could only nod.

"Oh, so, what's the matter with the four playboys in Jinling? Is my Tiange ranked last among the four playboys in Jinling?"

Xiang Yanran's tone was cold.

Cai and the eunuch were so scared that their legs became weak.

What he feared the most was that the emperor asked who the other people of the four major playboys in Jinling were.

The first three don't matter.

But the last of the four major playboys in Jinling is the crown prince Xiang Tiange.

If the emperor knew about this, wouldn’t he be very angry!

The dignified prince actually became one of the four major playboys in Jinling, how did the officials of the prince's East Palace, the young tutors, etc. educate the prince? They must have been implicated.

When the emperor was angry, he might have to decide how many people fell to the ground.

"The Emperor calms down."

The eunuch Cai and the eldest son kowtowed quickly, and said anxiously: "The emperor is wise and wise, he will govern the world with the way of Huang and Lao, light taxes and levies, and the country will be rich and the country will be full.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's customs are simple.

This so-called playboy theory...is that a few princes and princes drink together in a restaurant, and occasionally have small things like making small fuss.

When the good people in the market saw each other, they jokingly called Xiaohunhou Chu Tianxiu, the son-in-law Xie Anran, Shen Wanbao and the prince of the Shenfu, and nicknamed the four major playboys in Jinling.

But they absolutely did not dare to do anything that was harmful to the world. Although the Jinling Prefecture Governor repeatedly complained to Xiaohunhou, Xiaohunhou had never hurt the lives of a commoner... That is, the rich marquis, who spent a lot of money and was just a silence.

The prince was even more unfair, just making up the numbers.

He was only over fourteen years old, and he was in his innocent and simple life. He studied the way of governing in the East Palace all day long and rarely left the palace.

In order to prove that the four major playboys in Jinling were actually famous, they forced them to gather a four-digit number."

Xiang Yanran's face was cold.

The cold eyes made the eunuch who was crawling on the ground feel chill all over.

"Since the founding of the Taizu King, all the emperors of the Great Chu Dynasty have been brave and good at fighting, brave and invincible, and are the best in the world.

When I was fourteen or fifteen years old, I had already ascended the throne with the help of the empress dowager, ruled the world, and killed people all over the world.

My Xiang Yanran's son, the prince of the Eastern Palace, and even if Tiange is a playboy, he should be the best in the world.

He actually ranked last among the four major playboys. Is this a shame to my Xiang royal family?"

"ah...?"

Cai He raised his head and finally woke up.

What the emperor was upset about was not whether Xiang Tiange was a playboy, but that the prince was actually ranked last.

Cai He was immediately amused and could only report in a simplified manner: "The emperor... I have heard of it a little. The ranking of these four playboys is really a bit particular.

The little husband Chu Tianxiu was lawless, even his father, the old husband could not suppress him, and his mother and grandmother were extremely favored, and there was no one to control him, so he ranked first.

Although he was demoted by the emperor to the son-in-law of the Prince Ping's Mansion, the time was still short, and I don't know if King Ping, Princess Danyang, could control him and suppress him.

The prince-consor Xie Anran was most afraid of Princess Xiang Ling. He obeyed the orders with just one word from the princess. There was someone on her head who could control her, so she ranked second.

Shen Wanbao was afraid that his father Shen Dafu and Empress Dowager Shen would have two people on his head to control him, so he ranked third.

As for the prince, he is most afraid of you, as well as his sister Princess Xiang Ling and Empress Dowager Shen. There are three people who can suppress the prince, so he ranks fourth.

The ranking of these four playboys is not entirely based on their own strength, but depends on who is the most uncontrollable. In this row, the lawless Xiaohunhou won the first place and deserves his name."

"So So... Tiange ranked fourth, it seems understandable."

Xiang Yanran finally understood.

His anger disappeared halfway.

At least the prince of the Eastern Palace would still be in awe of the three of them, which is not wrong.

"He passed my order and rebuked the prince, and asked him to think about it for two days behind closed doors and prepare for the palace examination. He has studied in the Eastern Palace for so long, and he should have made some progress.

On the day of the questioning, he and hundreds of other students answered the questions together. If I cannot satisfy me, I will be punished with a half-month confinement and will not leave the Eastern Palace."

Xiang Yanran said.

"yes!"

"There is also the playboy Xiao Hunhou. I punished him to be a son-in-law in the Pingwang Mansion. He didn't even stop and wanted to recommend himself as an official.

What does he want to do? Is it not enough to be a young marquis? Can I become a silly official?

Tomorrow morning, let the Prime Minister's Office hand over the list of annual elections quickly. I want to see who my kings, princes, ministers, and officials of the Two Thousand Stones recommend.

Also, I will hand over Xiao Hunhou’s self-recommendation letter to take a look. I want to take a look. He actually wrote a ox cart’s self-recommendation letter, and all of them wrote something, which made my Prime Minister’s Mansion so embarrassed.”

"yes!"

Cai He wiped the sweat from his forehead, but fortunately the emperor was not really angry, and the prince finally passed the level of the throne.
Chapter completed!
