Unparalleled Concubine

After he walked a long way, Li Shuo, who had been standing beside Li Xin, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, behind Zhou Youyi and the others is... Prime Minister Zhao?"

"Of course not."

Li Xin shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "Brother You'an is a smart man, he will not fight against me, people like Zhou Youyi have nothing to do with him, but he has the ability to control Zhou Youyi and others, but he just stands by That's all."

"It makes sense."

Li Dadu took a sip of tea and smiled lightly: "Everyone has their own ideas. People from the Southwest, including me, gather together because of common interests, but everyone is an independent individual. They all have their own independent personal interests, and it is impossible to ask everyone to think of me alone."

"As long as the red line is not crossed, everyone can live in peace."

Speaking of which, Li Xin turned to look at Li Shuo, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, you should go back earlier, starting tomorrow, you will be preparing to suppress the rebellion. In the next few months, the capital will depend entirely on your godly guard."

Li Shuo bowed his head respectfully.

"The last will obey."

………………

Zhao Jia's Prime Minister's Mansion was not far from Li Xin's Hou's Mansion, and he arrived there not long after. After returning to his home, Zhao Jia first looked through some important documents in the study, and occasionally used a brush to write on the documents. Gougou sketched, and soon more than an hour passed.

It was getting dark.

Zhao Jia put down the brush, and said to the maid who was scouting in the study: "Let the family go to Zhongxiao Square in the west of the city, and invite the royal servant Zhou Youyi to the mansion, and tell the master that I want to buy him a drink."

The servant girl nodded, and quickly went out to order the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion to go to Zhongxiaofang to send a letter to Zhou Youyi. After Zhou Youyi got the invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was overjoyed immediately, changed into an official uniform, and rushed to the Zhao Mansion in Yongle Square .

Originally, when inviting people to the house, it is usually necessary to give an invitation card to comply with the rules, but now Zhao Jia can be said to be the most powerful scholar in the capital, he opened his mouth, Zhou Youyi ignored these things, and rushed directly to Yongle Fang in a sedan chair .

To be honest, this Censor of Zhou, who stirred up the situation in the capital, has not been doing very well these years.

He was born in the third place in the imperial examination, and it was a problem to fill the official position. It was the family who spent a lot of money to get through the relationship and fill a vacancy in the Yushitai.

There are too many Qingshui yamen in the capital, but Yushitai is definitely not Qingshui yamen, and there is even a lot of money to be made, but the division of labor in Yushitai is also different. The imperial censors are all positions full of oil and water, but he, the censor in the palace who is responsible for supervising the discipline of Weiyang Palace, is a position that can no longer be cleared.

Although his family is not poor, he is not particularly rich either. He has no spare money after spending [-] guan, so he can only serve as a servant in the palace for more than ten years, so that until now, he I still rent a house in Zhongxiaofang with my family, and I can't afford real estate in the capital.

If it wasn't for his poor performance, Zhou Youyi would not be willing to take the risk and do what gamblers do today.

But... the sky pays off!

Now, Zhou Youyi is finally on the verge of success!

What about Zhao Xiang?He is the person who is currently in charge of the center of the court!For these officials in the court, he has a higher authority than that Li Dadudu!

Now, his old man summoned him!

Zhou Youyi was so excited that he even trembled slightly.

He had actually met Zhao Jia once, but the last time he went to the Zhao Mansion, although he went to eat in name, he only met Zhao Xiang once, and the two of them didn't even speak to each other.

Now, here's your chance!

Zhao Xiang invited himself to the house!

Soaring to the top and rising to the sky, it's right in front of you!

Carrying his sedan chair up and down, Zhou Youyi's heart also flew to the sky.

Soon, the sedan chair entered Yongle Square.

After entering Yonglefang, Zhou Youyi opened the car curtain and poked his head out to have a look.

It was already night, and most of the neighborhoods in the capital had no lights, but in this Yongle Square, there were still lights everywhere, and bright lanterns were hung at the door of every house, which would stay on all night long.

Here... is the center of power in the capital, and also the center of power in the world.

Zhou Yushi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, couldn't hide his excitement.

"Soon...soon I can live in Yongle Square...soon..."

After entering Yonglefang, the Zhao Mansion arrived soon. Zhou Youyi looked up at the tall and tall Zhao Mansion, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Zhou's future for the rest of his life is today..."

Chapter 1166

In front of you is Qingyun Avenue!

Zhou Youyi got off the sedan chair, carefully arranged the official uniform on his body, and after making sure that there was nothing inappropriate, he walked towards the gate of the Xiangfu. At this moment, there were already people waiting at the gate of the Xiangfu. After seeing Zhou Youyi coming, he immediately led him towards the study of the Prime Minister's mansion.

Zhao Jia's Prime Minister's Mansion was already considered a big mansion in Yonglefang, but it was far less huge than Jing'an Hou's Mansion, so after only a few hundred steps, he arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's study, and the servants who led the way stopped at the door , bowed slightly to Zhou Youyi and said: "Zhou Yushi, my master is waiting for you in the study, you go in."

The so-called seventh-rank officials in the prime minister's concierge, Zhao Jia is now a big shot at the top of the sky, and the eyes of the servants in his family naturally follow him. Usually, the big shots of the second and third ranks know a lot. Zhou Youyi, a seventh-rank censor, these Naturally, the servants will not be too respectful to him.

Zhou Youyi naturally understood this truth, instead of being angry, he nodded and smiled at the servant: "Thank you, little brother, for leading the way."

After saying this, he looked up at the study in front of him. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study.

"Master Xiang, Xiaguan Zhou Youyi..."

Soon, a mellow voice came from the study: "Come in Zhou Yushi."

Zhou Youyi took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in, then knelt down in the study with a plop.

"Xiaguan Zhou Youyi, I have met the Prime Minister."

In the study room, Zhao Jia was still dressed in white, holding an ancient book in his hand. Seeing Zhou Youyi kneeling on the ground, he frowned, then put down the book in his hand, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said with a frown : "Zhou Yushi, you and I are colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty. I can't afford such a heavy courtesy from you. Get up quickly."

In this era, men have five knees, which are heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers. It is reasonable to kneel down to these five, but Shangguan is not among these five, that is to say, even a small official of ninth rank.As long as you have an official status, you don't have to kneel when you meet a first-rank official.

After all, in theory, everyone is a colleague, but the division of functions is different, and they are equal in personality.

However, some flatterers kowtowed and bowed to the superiors when they saw the superiors, which gradually formed an unhealthy trend in the ruling and opposition parties. Many people kneeled when they saw the officials, and also kneeled when they saw their superiors.

People like Zhou Youyi are typical flatterers.

After hearing Zhao Jia's words, Zhou Youyi got up from the ground, still not daring to stand upright, but bowed his body in front of Zhao Jia, with an extremely humble demeanor.

"Master Xiang started at the end of Qingping, and now stands on the top of Qingyun. He is the most respected person in his life."

"Master Xiang is a role model for my generation of scholars."

Although Zhao Jia has been the prime minister for more than a year, it is inevitable to deal with officials of all sizes on weekdays, but most of the officials he contacts are people of some status, even if they flirt, they will not be too explicit, but Zhou Youyi's flattery made Zhao Jia feel uncomfortable.

He frowned, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Zhou Yushi, I called you here today because I have something to talk to you about, just sit down."

Zhou Youyi nodded hastily: "Your Majesty obeys."
