Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 217 Dramatic changes

Jiang Xun frowned upon hearing this, and quickly stepped forward to flip through the calendar, and soon discovered something unusual.

Cui Mingjue was standing aside and couldn't help but admire Jiang Xun's sharpness and decisiveness.

Yesterday morning, after hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the Dali Temple. By then, the people Jiang Xun sent to Qingping City had already set off.

Considering the time it took to ask for instructions and approval, it can be seen that Jiang Xun realized this as soon as he heard what the old woman said.

Jiang Xun is indeed...

Cui Mingjue was thinking this when he suddenly noticed Jiang Xun's expression change.

His face suddenly turned pale, and his usually calm and composed appearance seemed to be hit by something, and he froze for a moment.

Cui Mingjue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jiang Xun had discovered something? Why didn't he see more key points?

"Lord Jiang, what's wrong?" Cui Mingjue asked in a low voice.

Jiang Xun's face was filled with disbelief. The next moment, he turned around and left without answering Cui Mingjue.

His steps were so fast, a urgency that no one else had ever seen in him.

Cui Mingjue watched Jiang Xun leave the main hall and his figure quickly disappear into the night, and he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

When has Jiang Xun ever been so panicked?

"big--"

Xie Hui, who was standing by, was confused. He stretched out his hand and shouted, then stopped. He frowned and walked quickly to the table, muttering:

"Sir, what's going on?"

He lowered his eyes and saw Cui Mingjue pointing at the column for the second year of Yongzhao.

He tilted his head, a puzzled look on his face. "The second year of Yongzhao? The second year of His Majesty's ascension to the throne? What happened?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Cui Mingjue's heart.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he first held the grand ceremony of imperial examinations in the second year of Yongzhao.

I heard from my grandfather that the emperor attached great importance to it and appointed the world-famous imperial tutor Lin as the chief examiner!

When the emperor ascended the throne, Mr. Lin resigned several times, but finally, after the emperor persuaded him several times, he took over the position of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and also - doctor of the Imperial College!

Student of the Imperial Academy, took the imperial examination in the second year of Yongzhao.

Could it be that these people in Qingping City are all Master Lin’s disciples?

When his thoughts reached this point, Cui Mingjue suddenly turned his head to look outside the hall. At this moment, four words popped up in his mind:

Forming parties for personal gain.

What is shocking is that Qingping City is not an ordinary city, but a capital city, and its importance is self-evident.

What is even more horrifying is that if Mr. Lin really had such an idea, he would have been teaching at the Imperial College for twenty years!

Mr. Lin...

Cui Mingjue suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around to look at the table, and found the calendar of the Qingping City Magistrate.

[The Imperial Academy selected tribute students, ranked second in the eighth year of Yongzhao, and was granted the status of Jinshi]

In the eighth year of Yongzhao...

The imperial examination was held every three years and was related to national administration and talent selection.

In order to ensure fairness and justice, and to eliminate the drawbacks of forming cliques for personal gain and rigid styles, the chief examiners of each session are rotated.

Therefore, during the fifth year of Yongzhao's reign, Mr. Lin did not serve as the chief examiner, but in the eighth year of Yongzhao...

It seems to be Mr. Lin again!

Thinking of this, Cui Mingjue could no longer stay there. He walked out of the Dali Temple quickly and went straight home.

The selection, appointment, transfer and deployment of officials all involve the Ministry of Personnel. Could it be that my grandfather was completely unaware of these things?

What's the matter! ?

Cui Mingjue's breathing was rapid.

Considering the status that Mr. Lin holds in the court and in the hearts of scholars all over the world, this would probably be a drastic change that would shock the court and the country and would be enough to turn the world upside down!

----

Bang bang bang!

Jiang Xun dismounted and knocked on the door of Lin's mansion.

The servant looked over and saw that it was Jiang Xun. He immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, on the New Year."

Jiang Xun's hands and feet were already cold at this moment. He asked quickly, "Is the teacher at home?"

The doorman was slightly stunned.

Although Lord Jiang usually has a cold expression, he treats them very peacefully. Why is he so...

He shook his head and said cautiously, "To answer your question, my Lord, the Master went to the palace about half an hour ago."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun took a step back.

Although his expression did not change much and still carried the same calmness as before, a closer look revealed that a faint paleness seemed to be quietly spreading across his face.

The next moment, he suddenly turned around and jumped on the horse again.

"teacher."

Jiang Xun murmured softly, and the joints of his hands holding the reins turned blue and white, and then he galloped towards the direction of the palace.

----

When Beifeng and his colleagues from the Dali Temple returned from Qingping City, Jiang Xun sent someone back home to tell Shen Jiasui that he would be back late again today.

Shen Jiasui couldn't sit still anymore.

She hadn't asked about this matter in the past two days because she didn't want to make Jiang Xun worry, but she was actually still worried about it in her heart.

Once Bei Feng and the others return, this matter should have a conclusion...

After much deliberation, Shen Jiasui finally rode his horse to the Dali Temple.

She had no intention of disturbing Jiang Xun, so she just found a corner and waited. The August night was not cold, and Shen Jiasui was bored, so she counted the bricks in front of the Dali Temple again.

Just when he had counted halfway, there was a sound at the gate of Dali Temple. Shen Jiasui looked up hurriedly, only to see Beifeng coming out quickly.

Her brows relaxed, and she stepped forward from the darkness, calling out softly, "North Wind!"

Bei Feng saw Shen Jiasui and felt like he had seen a savior. He walked over in two or three steps and said quickly:

"Madam, the young master is missing!"

Shen Jiasui's heart tightened, but he lowered his voice: "No hurry, explain clearly."

It turned out that when Jiang Xun was in the main hall just now, Beifeng went to rest, and Nanfeng went over to talk to him, and the two of them sat for a while.

But when Nanfeng returned to the main hall, he learned that Jiang Xun had hurried out alone.

Nanfeng was immediately very anxious.

The young master has no martial arts skills, and although he has not been assassinated in the past year due to their strict defense, who knows if there are still thieves waiting for an opportunity to strike in secret?

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui asked, "You just said that Axun left in a hurry?"

Seeing Bei Feng nod, Shen Jiasui immediately turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "I'll go find it."

It was a dark night, Shen Jiasui rode his horse, his face gradually turning pale.

She subconsciously touched her chest, where she was still wearing...the heirloom given to her by her teacher.

If there were anyone in this world who could make A Xun lose his composure, she thought, there wouldn't be many.

.......

Late at night.

After Shen Jiasui knocked on the door of Lin Mansion, his heart sank to the bottom and he went straight to the palace.

Along the way, she thought a lot until she saw the familiar figure in front of the palace gate.

The orange palace lanterns stretched his shadow very long, and the interweaving of light and shadow made his figure seem a little lonely.

He just stood quietly beside the horse, his whole body still straight and upright, without any sign of panic.

But Shen Jiasui saw his clenched hands and his breathing was more rapid than usual.

All these seemed to be silently telling what kind of turmoil he was going through in his heart at this moment.

"Axun."

Shen Jiasui called softly.

Jiang Xun was suddenly shocked.

Shen Jiasui walked quickly forward and took his hand.

His hands were so cold, as if covered with frost. At this moment, he slowly held Shen Jiasui's hand, and the strength was as if he was grasping the last bit of rationality to prevent the panic in his heart from spreading.

He was such a calm and composed person, but at this moment, his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed him.

"Sui Sui."

Jiang Xun's voice was hoarse, filled with unspeakable pain.

"The teacher...didn't want to live."
