Chapter 238 Prefect Chen Lun

Liang Lian and his son were considered to be "integrity" when designing the framing of Xu Xian. The two of them had a coincidence and decided to let Xu Xian live happily for a few days before the provincial examination.

After the provincial examination begins, the person who welcomes Xu Xian will no longer be the carp leaping on the dragon gate and becoming a juren, but will be a place where no burial will be killed!

However, Prince Liang himself couldn't do this.

Although he was of high status and power, he was not the chief examiner of the Suzhou Prefecture provincial examination. The imperial examination chief examiner had already issued an imperial edict to determine the candidate, and was Chen Lun, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.

Speaking of Chen Lun, he is also a very famous figure in the Dali Dynasty. He has been taking the imperial examinations from a poor family and studied hard for ten years. Finally, he was fortunate to be in the palace examination and became the top three in the current class and won the position of Tanhua!

Later, he became the official and became the current prefect of Suzhou Prefecture. He also had a good reputation. He was selfless, fair and honest, and was a well-known good official, and never slaughtered the people.

However, although Chen Lun has ambitions and does not seek power, he and Xu Zhengqing, the former school secretary of Hangzhou Prefecture, did not understand. He did not have the courage to take a gamble like Xu Zhengqing, and knew how to protect himself.

As a Beijing official, Xu Zhengqing did a lot of radical things because he was on the side of the "war pro-sects" and was eventually caught by the "appeasers" and sent a free academic and political career to Hangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Lun did not cling to power, but he was unwilling to offend power!

Since becoming an official, he has never expressed his opinion on which team to stand and is unwilling to fall into the whirlpool of party disputes. Originally, after the imperial examination, he had the opportunity to stay in the capital. However, after seeing the current situation of the court, he took the initiative to leave the capital and transfer to other places.

So, a person like Chen Lun is just a tough guy. It is quite difficult to ask him to help frame Xu Xian.

Usually, as Prince Liang, he did not bother to deal with a small prefect, but this time he took the initiative to set up a banquet in the palace and invited Chen Lun to come to the banquet.

...

...

Chen Lun has been very busy recently.

As the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, he was busy with official duties on weekdays. In addition, the arrival of the imperial examination once every three years, as the chief examiner, he had to do more things.

In addition to official duties, he also has many personal affairs.

His beautiful wife is nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. She is very unstable and the amniotic fluid may be broken at any time and needs to be taken care of at all times. He has to go back to accompany his wife after finishing his official duties every day. It can be said that he is busy for a while.

This day, the weather is bright and the weather is good, and the sun is warm.

Chen Lun was in the backyard of the government office, helping his wife walk carefully in the garden. Suddenly, he heard an official sending a report that it was a invitation from the Liang Palace, and asked Chen Lun to go to the Liang Palace to have a banquet in the evening.

"Master, why did Prince Liang suddenly invite you to the banquet? You must know that you have been paying in Suzhou Prefecture for so many years, and Prince Liang's Prefecture has never invited you." Cui Younan asked with his big belly, his hands stuck in his waist, looking at the invitation.

Chen Lun’s wife Cui Younan is not only very beautiful, but also one of the best beauties in Suzhou City. She also knows the words and understands the truth and is not comparable to ordinary women.

Chen Lun was also worried when he looked at the invitation, but he was a little guessed in his heart and said, "It should be because of the provincial examination."

As the chief examiner of this provincial examination, Chen Lun naturally has a lot of knowledge about the candidates who refer to it. He knew that this Suzhou Prefecture provincial examination was the most valued time in so many years. There were too many talented people taking the examination, such as Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong. Secondly, there was Prince Liang's only son, Liang Lian!

Chen Lun guessed in his heart that when the Liang Palace invited him to the banquet at this time, it was mostly just to go through the back door and ask him to take care of Liang Lian.

"You go back and tell Prince Liang that I'm too busy recently and my wife is about to give birth to me, so I really can't leave. After a while, I will come to the door to apologize myself." Chen Lun thought for a while and shirked the guards of Prince Liang's mansion who were sending the invitation.

The guard was not willing to leave, so he immediately knelt down and said in horror: "I would like to ask the magistrate to give me a look to the banquet. Before I came, Prince Liang gave me instructions in person, saying that if I could not invite the magistrate back to the house, I would tell me not to go back..."

When Chen Lun heard this, his premonition was even worse.

He actually forced him to go to the banquet.

Obviously, there is no good banquet!

At this time, Cui Younan also saw some tricks and persuaded, "Master, you should go to the banquet tonight. I'm not a big deal." After that, she whispered in Chen Lun's ear: "No matter what Prince Liang has to tell you, no matter whether you want to do it or not, you can think of a solution after listening. If you don't even go, you can clearly not give him face, and he will definitely not give up..."

When Chen Lun heard this, he felt it was reasonable, so he took the invitation and agreed to go to the banquet in the evening.

If it was really as he guessed, Prince Liang wanted to take the back door for his son Liang Lian and cheat in the provincial examination, he would do it again. Anyway, the situation in the examination room is changing rapidly, and he is not just the invigilator. If there is any accident at that time, he cannot help, and I believe Prince Liang can't say anything.

If you don't agree to go to the banquet, it will be difficult to deal with.

In the evening, Chen Lun finished his official duties, changed from the government office, put on plain clothes, and sat down at Prince Liang's Mansion.

Prince Liang attached great importance to Chen Lun, went out to greet him directly, and said with a smile: "It is better to see him than to see him at first sight. I have long heard that the prefect of our Suzhou Prefecture, Lord Chen, is an honest and selfless official, and is a good official who loves the people as much as his son. When he saw him today, he was really majestic and extraordinary. Please come in quickly."

"Prince Liang is so heavy that his subordinates can't afford it." Chen Lun quickly bowed his hand to return the gift.

Prince Liang and Liang Lian and his son looked at each other, smiled and welcomed Chen Lun into the palace.

Chen Lun acted very humble. In their opinion, this prefect Chen Lun was quite tactful and a person who knew the current affairs. In this way, this matter will be easier to deal with today.

Good wine and food, and dancers also dance.

Prince Liang and his wife, Liang Lian, were extremely enthusiastic as masters. After hearing that Chen Lun's wife was about to give birth, Mrs. Liang immediately ordered her servants to go to the treasury of the royal palace and brought a lot of nourishing items, and asked Chen Lun to take them back for his wife to take them. Chen Lun could not even delay even if he wanted to refuse.

However, Chen Lun did not dare to drink too much wine and was always careful.

Finally, after three rounds of drinking, the time was almost right. Prince Liang used his eyes to let his wife dismiss all the servants who served him. Only Prince Liang, Liang Lian and Chen Lun were left in the room.
