When he returned to the mansion, although Youmeng was very tired, he still went to the Military Affairs Office to meet Lu Kun first.

"Princess, I have tried all the methods I can use, but Yan Que still insisted that he was not doing it carefully." Lu Kun knew that he was not doing it properly and looked embarrassed. "I was afraid that someone would die, so I would inevitably be more cautious when using the torture. I dare not be too ruthless. I am just waiting for the princess' ruling at the moment."

Youmeng pondered: "Then let him ease for a day first. After the Ming Japanese princess comes to the palace to pay her respects, I will personally examine him."

"I will obey the order."

At this time, Youmeng revealed his second intention to find him today: "General Lu, I want to inquire about it from you."

"Princess, please tell me."

"Have you ever heard that there is a place called 'Jiu Lutian' in Luoyang?"

Lu Kun thought about it and shook his head, "I will be ignorant and have never heard of it."

Youmeng said again: "Before the general was transferred to our mansion, he was under the military headquarters of the patrol battalion. Can the general know that there are some special areas in Luoyang so far, where there are vacant city walls and there are no troops from the patrol battalion garrison?"

After hearing this, Lu Kun's expression became quite complicated: "Yes, but this matter is a long story."

I saw him take a map of Luoyang City and spread it out for Youmeng to see.

"Luoyang was once the old capital of the previous dynasty. At the end of the previous dynasty, they relied on the aristocratic families to maintain their power. Under the protection of the royal family, they formed a force and were mixed. Even now, their influence in Luoyang cannot be ignored." He pointed to some areas on the territory and said, "And the previous dynasty would inevitably give the figures of these aristocratic families a fief, most of which were far away from the main city and surrounded the surrounding areas of Luoyang."

Youmeng leaned over, her eyes wandering on the territory, and the dense place names came into her eyes, making her frown.

"After His Majesty decided to move the capital, our dynasty made new plans for the capital of Luoyang, retained some important fiefs in the main city and surrounding areas, and built a new city wall for protection. The purpose was to demarcate the Chu River and Han boundaries with some of the stubborn old nobles of the previous dynasty." Lu Kun said, "And the old city walls left by those previous dynasty were abandoned, some had been demolished, and those that had not been demolished should belong to the sphere of influence of some old nobles, and most outsiders could not enter. Over time, it became a little-known secret place."

Youmeng noticed that there was no special place near Ping'anyi, so she looked up and questioned: "I know that the old nobles of the previous dynasty have always been the biggest concern of the father. Since their foundation is there, why didn't the father find a way to deal with blows and annexes?"

Lu Kun smiled. "I think your Majesty will do this when Da You gained a foothold in Luoyang. Moreover, the plan to build the Eastern Capital was handed over to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister was also from a Luoyang clan, so he must be the most familiar with this place." He glanced at the territory from the beginning and smiled thoughtfully, "This was the Eastern Capital planned by the Prime Minister and presented to His Majesty. What we saw in the territory in the end was like this, but often the real situation would not be fully presented. Only the Prime Minister himself knew the many "secret realms" hidden in it."

He stopped when he clicked, and Youmeng understood it instantly.

She thought that the reason why Jilei is so mysterious is that it is approaching an empty old city wall, and that there must be a huge force behind it.

The next morning, Guyu and the beginning of summer changed their neat and gorgeous palace outfits to serve Youmeng, and their hairstyles were complex and noble, and they wore a set of newly made jewelry.

The blue blue clothes in the lake were bright and charming, with a wide skirt spread out, and Li You stood beside him and was so amazed that he could hardly speak.

"Princess, are you going to go to the palace to pay your respects today?" He said softly, with thoughts in his eyebrows and eyes.

Youmeng was lowering her head to admire the new clothes and said carelessly: "Well, before the official ban, it is a rule to pay tribute every three days, and I can't escape."

He stared at her side face and tentatively said, "If Liyou remembers it right, today is the tenth day of May, the day of the Spring Festival Palace Examination."

She was holding her sleeves to look at the exquisite embroidery on it, but when he raised her, she raised her eyes with emotion: "Yes, the palace examination is set up in the Chengjun Hall of the Taixue University, with three subjects of Confucianism, Law and Metaphysics. If you haven't given up, you may have already written quickly in the examination room."

Li You hesitated again and again: "Princess, can you take me into the palace today and go to the Taixue Institute to see it?"

Youmeng opened her eyes wide and looked at him in confusion.

He lowered his eyes and seemed a little embarrassed: "Liyou was very regretful when he failed to participate in this scientific examination, but the Taixue Institute has always been the palace I longed for. I really want to see what kind of place it is and witness its sublimity and sacredness with my own eyes."

Youmeng's eyes were scattered, as if there was something unspeakable: "I understand your mood, but..."

He hurriedly said, "Li You knows that this unhappy request will make the princess embarrassed. The palace is not something we idle people can enter, but Li You knows the right position and will not run around to cause trouble for the princess. As long as you can stand outside the gate of the Taixue Mansion and watch from afar, it is enough."

Youmeng felt uncomfortable. She didn't know that Liyou was a peaceful person, and she was not afraid of him causing trouble. With her identity, it was not difficult to bring someone into the palace. However, Mei Zihan was the chief examiner of the Taixue Prefecture Palace Examination today. She was afraid that she would inevitably meet her. She had been alienated from each other for many days. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to see each other again?
