Today's morning after divergence, Li Mu has not left the palace directly. 今日的早朝散去之后,李慕并没有直接出宫。 Outside crape myrtle palace, Sir Mei in he. 紫薇殿外,梅大人在等他。 In toward on, she received the Li Mu look to hint a moment ago, sees Li Mu to walk, asked: „What matter?” 刚才在朝上时,她收到了李慕的眼神示意,见李慕走出来,问道:“什么事？” Li Mu said: „Also no important matter, Cui Ming's matter, what kind of?” 李慕道:“也没有什么大事,崔明的事情,怎么样了？” For serveral days, Li Mu is delayed by the case that Ministry of Rites vice minister falsely accused, has not paid attention to the matter of Cui Ming. 这些天,李慕被礼部侍郎诬陷的案子耽搁,并没有关注崔明之事。 Since he flees Divine Capital, after the Shangguan Li belt/bring person captures, did not have the news again. 自从他逃离神都,上官离带人去追捕后,就再也没有了消息。 Sir Mei shakes the head, said: „That side A'Li, without the response, Cui Mingxian was issuing a warrant for arrest by 36 counties temporarily, does not dare to come surely, where should hide.” 梅大人摇了摇头,说道:“阿离那边,暂时没有回应,崔明现在被三十六郡通缉,必定不敢现身,应该是在什么地方躲了起来。” Only blames Li Mu not to expect this matter strangely earlier, if he had to send greetings the conch at that time in the body, present surnamed Cui already soul flies away and scatters. 怪只怪李慕没有早点预料到此事,若是当时他有传音海螺在身,姓崔的现在已经魂飞魄散。 Now regrets to be late, Li Mu also asked: „Demon sect undercover checks how?” 如今后悔已晚,李慕又问道:“魔宗卧底查的怎么样了？” Sir Mei shakes the head, said: „Has achieved nothing.” 梅大人摇了摇头,说道:“一无所获。” Was infiltrated including four official, must say Great Zhou Royal Court, without the undercover of demon sect, naturally is not possible, perhaps, they hide in the deliberation hall, but no one knows. 连四品官员都被渗透,要说大周朝廷,没有魔宗的卧底,自然是不可能的,或许,他们就隐藏在朝堂上,只是没有人知晓。 The demon sect scheme, is the Great Zhou landscape, hundred years ago, is infiltrating to Royal Court, continually provokes the incident in each region. 魔宗图谋的,是大周江山,从百年之前,就在向朝廷渗透,不断在各地挑起事端。 Can be elected by them for the undercover, is not the ordinary person, mental exceptionally firm, can several years even be ten several years ambushes, does not show any something that gives one away, the technique of calling back the soul of the deceased, is difficult to have an effect on them, searching for the soul is not realistic, some Imperial Court ten years of old minister, is seemingly conscientious, adheres faithfully, cannot guarantee him to the Great Zhou not illegal heart. 能被他们选为卧底的,都不是等闲之辈,心智异常坚定,能够数年甚至是十数年的潜伏,都不露出任何马脚,摄魂之术,对他们难起作用,搜魂又不现实,朝中某一位十年老臣,看上去兢兢业业,恪尽职守,也不能保证他对大周没有不轨之心。 Entire Divine Capital, looks uneventfully, but this tranquil, has not known that many wells up secretly. 整座神都,看着风平浪静,但这平静之下,还不知道有多少暗涌。 Plum big humanity: „If Imperial Court have the undercover ambushes of demon sects or other influences, suddenly does not have the means to look them, present most important is the imperial civil service examination, must guarantee the talent who various counties attend the imperial civil service examination does not have the issue.” 梅大人道:“若是朝中还有魔宗或是其他势力的卧底潜伏,一时间也没有办法将他们找出来,如今的重中之重是科举,必须要保证各郡参加科举的人才没有问题。” About this matter, Li Mu in the secretariat, has discussed with the people. 关于这件事情,李慕在中书省的时候,就已经和众人讨论过了。 The imperial civil service examination talent, was recommended by various counties, the advantage can break the academy's monopoly to the official, the reduced talent omits, the fault is various people of county recommendation, the good and evil intermingled, if the incapacity is good, is unable through the imperial civil service examination, if has does not have virtue, or simply is the undercover of conspiring all influence sends, the harm to Great Zhou is actually long-enduring. 科举人才,由各郡推举,好处是可以打破书院对官员的垄断,减少人才遗漏,坏处是各郡推举之人,良莠不齐,若是无才还好,根本无法通过科举,而若是有才无德,或者干脆就是各方势力送来的图谋不轨的卧底,对大周的危害却是持续性的。 Therefore, regarding screening of imperial civil service examination talent, secretariat competition sence time, made the stipulation. 因此,对于科举人才的筛选,中书省制定政策的时候,也做了规定。 The person of place government authorities election, must come from the local place, having the household register to check, and in three generations, cannot have the behavior that violates the law and commit crime seriously, after the imperial civil service examination, but also by the Ministry of Justice further examination, can prevent most illegal people outside. 地方官府推选之人,必须来自本地地方,有户籍可查,且三代之内,不能有严重作奸犯科的行为,通过科举之后,还会由刑部进一步的审查,能将大部分的不轨之徒阻挡在外。 If under this high pressure, was infiltrated, that Royal Court then must recognize. 若是在这种高压之下,还是被渗透进去,那朝廷便得认了。 Cannot search for soul everyone, even if searches for the soul, cannot the percentage hundred guarantees not have the issue, dao sect to prevent the dao technique to divulge to an outsider, will let some core disciple cultivation mystiques, avoids being uncovered the secret, the demon sect greatly possibly also has this secret technique very much. 总不能将所有人都搜魂一遍,而就算是搜魂,也不能百分百的保证没有问题,道门为了防止道术外传,都会让核心弟子修行一些秘法,来避免被人搜出秘密,魔宗很大可能也有这种秘术。 On the same day in the palace, Cui Ming can secure statement make Empress search for the soul, did not have the discovered assurance most likely, only he ran into the far-fetched teammate pitifully. 当日在金殿上,崔明能有恃无恐的提出让女皇搜魂,十有八九是有不被发现的把握,只可惜他遇到了不靠谱的队友。 Thus it can be seen, this secret matter, the person who knows the fewer the better. 由此可见,这种隐秘的事情,还是知道的人越少越好。 Left the imperial palace, Li Mu then returned to Beiyuan, from some imperial civil service examination also date and time, he also had enough time preparation. 离开皇宫,李慕便回了北苑,距离科举还有些时日,他还有足够的时间准备。 Walks on the Beiyuan quiet and beautiful street, when passed by somewhere the mansion, before mansion gate is stopping on carriage, walks a woman. 走在北苑清幽的街道上,路过某处府邸时,从府门前停着的马车上,走下来一位妇人。 This woman has not thought will meet Li Mu here stubbornly, the vision is staring at him, in the eye reveals the deeply ingrained hatred. 这妇人也没想到会在这里遇到李慕,目光死死的盯着他,眼中露出刻骨的仇恨。 Mother of vision looking at each other Li Mu and everywhere, in this vision leads the crazy woman, is this time secret chief instigator who falsely accuses the case, the exempting dead gold medal that if not Zhou, she should be the same with former Ministry of Rites vice minister now, during the day of Ministry of Justice is firm. 李慕和周处之母目光对视,这位目光中带着疯狂的妇人,便是此次诬陷案的幕后主谋,如果不是周家的免死金牌,她现在应该和前礼部侍郎一样,在刑部的天牢之中。 The women look at Li Mu with the crazy look, said: „This time made you escape, next time, does not know that you also did have such luck.” 妇人用疯狂的眼神看着李慕,说道:“这次让你逃了,下次,不知道你还有没有这样的运气。” Li Mu also visits her, said with a smile: „These words, was I wants to you saying that this time was your luck, has again next time, you guess that Zhou can also put out exempts the dead gold medal to guarantee you together?” 李慕同样看着她,笑道:“这句话,也是我想对你说的,这次算是你的运气,再有下次,你猜周家还能不能拿出一块免死金牌保你？” Although Li Mu is smiling, but the vision actually looks in her heart to send coldly. 李慕虽然在微笑,但目光却看得她心中发寒。 The women do not dare to look at each other with him again, turn away, enters that mansion in a hurry. 妇人不敢再与他对视,移开视线,匆匆走进那座府邸。 In the mansion, a female approach, is supporting by the arm her, said: „Mother, you must come, did not say one ahead of time, I make manor cloud send people to meet you......” 府邸中,一名女子迎上来,搀扶着她,说道:“娘,您要来,怎么也不提前说一声,我让庄云派人去接您……” A male also approach, to her good a ritual, said: „My son-in-law pays a visit mother -in-law Sir.” 一名男子也迎上来,对她行了一礼,说道:“小婿拜见岳母大人。” The women said: „I come to here, the matter, asks manor cloud to help.” 妇人道:“我来这里,是有一件事情,找庄云帮忙。” The male brow selects, the smile on face is brighter, asks: „Mother-in-law Sir has anything to tell, although said that was good.” 那男子眉头一挑,脸上的笑容却更灿烂,问道:“岳母大人有什么吩咐,尽管说就好了。” The women clench teeth saying: „You also know, the place tragic death in the Li Mu that evil person's hand, your father is cruel-hearted, does not revenge for place, feeling sorry for me is weak, can only look helplessly that evil person rambles in Divine Capital, manor cloud is Dali Buddhist temple few Sirs, certainly has the means to revenge for your younger brother......” 妇人咬牙说道:“你们也知道,处儿惨死在李慕那恶徒之手,你爹狠心,不为处儿报仇,可怜我势单力薄,只能眼睁睁的看着那恶徒在神都逍遥,庄云是大理寺少卿,一定有办法为你弟弟报仇……” The men said with a smile: „Mother-in-law your honorable self visits, the advanced inner courtyard rests.” 男子笑着说道:“岳母大驾光临,先进内院休息吧。” The women asked: „Your younger brother's matter......” 妇人问道:“那你弟弟的事情……” The men said: „Mother-in-law Sir opens the mouth, how my son-in-law dares not to listen, here is not the speech place, we went in said again.” 男子道:“岳母大人开口,小婿怎么敢不听,这里不是说话的地方,我们进去再说。” He welcomed the woman, entered the inner courtyard time, the lip moves slightly, has not actually made any sound. 他将妇人迎进去,走进内院的时候,嘴唇微微动了动,却没有发出任何声音。 After entering the inner courtyard, the woman looks at the man, will open the mouth, a servant suddenly hurriedly to/clashes from outside, said: „Sir, is not good, Dali Buddhist temple comes the person, said that in the temple has the urgent matter, temple Sir Sir/minister makes you pass immediately......” 走进内院之后,妇人看着男子,正要开口,一名下人忽然急匆匆的从外面冲进来,说道:“大人,不好了,大理寺来人,说寺中发生急事,寺卿大人让您立刻过去……” The men looked at that woman, for: „This officer does not facilitate now......” 男子看了看那妇人,为难道:“本官现在不方便……” Under that humanity: „I look at that person of look in a hurry, seems like really has the important matter, if delayed the important matter, perhaps the temple Sir/minister will blame......” 那下人道:“我看那人神色匆匆,似乎是真有要事,要是耽误了大事,恐怕寺卿会怪罪……” The men look reluctantly, has to look to the woman, said: „Mother-in-law Sir, is really unfortunately, Dali Buddhist temple arises suddenly the urgent matter, needs my son-in-law to process, my son-in-law urges to go faster returns......” 男子面露无奈,只好看向妇人,说道:“岳母大人,真是不巧,大理寺突发急事,需要小婿处理,小婿去去就回……” Then, he then goes out of the inner courtyard with stride. 说罢,他便大步走出内院。 Until goes out of the mansion gate, his footsteps are slow, said to that servant: „You remain at home, when she walks, when comes to Dali Buddhist temple to inform me.” 直至走出府门,他的脚步才慢下来,对那下人说道:“你留在家里,她什么时候走,什么时候来大理寺通知我。” The servant asked: „If she doesn't walk?” 那下人问道:“如果她不走呢？” The men said: „A while makes one go to the street to buy a bed bedding, delivers to Dali Buddhist temple, the Dali Buddhist temple aging long-pending case are too many, this officer following, feared that must live in Dali Buddhist temple......” 男子道:“一会儿让人去街上买一床被褥,送到大理寺,大理寺陈年积案太多,本官接下来,怕是要住在大理寺了……” ...... …… When Li Mu goes home, sees Empress also, Xiao Bai is teaching her to make dumplings. 李慕回到家中时,看到女皇也在,小白正在教她包饺子。 This is he envies a Empress point very much, two people under toward, her are always proficiently earlier than simultaneously Li Mu, Li Mu from palace proficient, must pass through two streets, she only needs a thought. 这是他很羡慕女皇的一点,两个人同时下朝,她却总是比李慕早到家,李慕从宫中到家,要穿过两条街道,她只需要一个念头。 Empress is the cultivation talent, the learning capability naturally also unusual. 女皇是修行天才,学习能力自然也非同寻常。 The Chinese chess is Li Mu teaches her,
