the emperor's man catches ghosts

Chapter 43 The difference between ruler and minister

"You're awake." Yun Yu said with a straight face, looking at him with worry and blame, "I ordered you to return to Dali Temple. You shrugged off your physical illness and turned around to do such a dangerous thing. Is life hard?"

Xiao Changli wanted to get up, but his shoulders were pressed back by him: "Lie down for me. This is the bedroom I arranged for you in the palace. From now on, you will stay in the Imperial Academy honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Xiao Changli was stunned, but without saying a word, Yun Yu gulped down a large bowl of medicine, and then was stuffed with candy.

Yun Yu himself is afraid of suffering, so he feels that he is also afraid of suffering. How could he know that Xiao Changli dislikes sweetness more than bitterness, and it makes his skin crawl all over because it is so greasy.

Seeing him frowning, looking helpless and stupefied, Yun Yu's heart softened, and all the blame and dissatisfaction disappeared, and the rest was all distressed: "I know you hate evil like hatred, and you can't see things that hurt the world, but there are many injustices in the world, you How can you manage them one by one? You are always so adventurous, you know I...I will worry..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care." Xiao Changli lowered his eyes, and with a straight and upright sentence, he silently concealed the ripples in his heart.

Yun Yu pinched the corner of her clothes, took a deep breath, and also concealed the disappointment in her heart: "You have a good rest, and you don't need to worry about other things. Liu Taifu's grandson is also from Tingyun Temple, and some things can be handled by him. You don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Changli said: "The emperor is considerate, my minister..."

"Okay, you can rest." Yun Yu interrupted him, and he felt harsh when he heard the word "emperor" out of his mouth.In front of him, he deliberately didn't call himself Zhen, just to make the distance between the two of them not so far away. Now it seems that the distance is not between words, but in his heart.

He couldn't help but began to miss the time when he was in Shiying, when he was accused of being rude and offended, now, if he wanted to offend him, he would never go overboard.

Oh, this Xiao Changli...

Yun Yu felt extremely melancholy.

Xiao Changli didn't know why he was melancholy, but he knew that he was unhappy, and he didn't say anything more when he was unhappy, and the two remained silent.Finally, Yun Yu couldn't stand it anymore and went back, Xiao Changli rested for a while, thinking that there was nothing serious, he got up and got out of bed, and went out to familiarize himself with the familiar environment.

This is the bedroom that Yun Yu arranged for him. It is close to the Imperial Academy, quiet and elegant, suitable for recuperation, which also shows Yun Yu's good intentions for him.Although this is not what he wants, it's just that the person is fledgling, he can't be too far away, but if it's too close, he won't know what to do.

It is impossible for him to stay by his side as Guangxiu said, and be a male favourite. If he wants to be justified, he can only be in the relationship of a monarch and a minister.

There is a difference between monarch and minister, which cannot be surpassed.

Since it is insurmountable, even the slightest connection must be cut off.

Xiao Changli stood quietly for a long time in the autumn wind on the porch, the confusion between his brows became firm, and then he walked towards the Imperial Academy.

Although he has been an official in Dali Temple for many years, he only thinks about solving mysterious cases with the punishment of the Ming Dynasty.Qingliu's lineage often criticized him after seeing him as a traitor, and the sycophant's lineage felt that he had different ways and did not conspire with each other, so he had no connections in the court.

At this time, he was suddenly placed in the Hanlin Academy, a field that he had never dabbled in, and it was still a final level of editing. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't get started immediately. He needed someone to guide the way in many things, otherwise he might hit a wall everywhere. .

However, when he arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he knew that he was thinking too much.

Presumably Yun Yu had given instructions in advance that all members of the Hanlin Academy were courteous and courteous to him, explaining everything to him in every detail without him asking, and perseveringly persuading him to go back to rest and come back when he is well.

Seeing that his arrival had disrupted the normal duties of the officials, Xiao Changli was about to leave when he saw Liu Congwen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, walk in with his hands in his hands, his expression somber and not angry.Behind him was the young man who rescued him in Wuming Mountain, presumably it was what Yun Yu said, also from Guangling of Tingyun Temple.

Xiao Changli had heard of Liu Congwen's rebellious and absurd son.His original name was Liu Xian, and he was a mischievous and mischievous master since he was a child. His father Liu Congwen sent him to Tingyun Temple, hoping that he could learn some Taoist mantras of meditation, inaction, and asceticism. If you send fish into the sea and release birds into the forest, it will be difficult to catch them back.

Guangling's aptitude is not bad, but he is impetuous, playful and unrestrained by nature, and he is fascinated by the art of geomancy. He walks freely on famous mountains and rivers. Not to mention Liu Congwen's scholar's mansion, he rarely goes back to Tingyun Temple.

This time Liu Congwen did not know what method he used to get him to stay, and even put on an official uniform and entered the Hanlin Academy as an unrecognized servant.

Xiao Changli stood quietly at the side, Liu Congwen was his immediate superior, so it's fine if he doesn't come, if he comes and bumps into him, he must say hello and listen to him.It's just that before Liu Congwen can talk to him, he still needs to deal with someone who neglected his duty and left his post without authorization.

"Look at you, how decent you are!" Liu Congwen slapped the table and pointed at Guangling's nose angrily, "Where's the official hat?"

Guangling shrugged, without the slightest fear: "I lost it."

Liu Congwen patted it again, and it made his palm numb and painful, and his beard trembled with anger: "Nizi! The official uniform and hat are distributed by the imperial court, which shows the majesty of the emperor. How dare you discard and despise the majesty of the emperor at will? What should you do?" crime?!"

Guangling picked his ears and said: "Father, I think you are stupid in reading and reading. I am here to save people. Is a hat not as important as a human life? Look, if it weren't for me, this person would have been killed." The monsters have been eaten into bones." He pointed at Xiao Changli, and said confidently, "A sage has a saying that human life is at stake, so when it comes to your old place, two human lives are not as good as a hat?"

Liu Congwen couldn't answer for a while, but was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Xiao Changli covered his nose. He clearly saw that the official hat was kicked away by Guangling himself. At that time, the monsters had dispersed and there was no threat. But now he spoke so grandly that he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Liu Congwen regained his strength, and said with a serious face: "Even so, you will still be punished for leaving your post without authorization. Go back and copy the national policy theory for me ten times!"

"No!" Guangling wailed, sounding extremely painful, "I just copied the Book of Filial Piety a few days ago, and my hands are still numb!"

Liu Congwen said: "Ten times of filial piety can't make you understand a word of filial piety. It is arrogant and unreasonable to contradict your father at will. These ten times of national policy theory let you learn what it means to be loyal to the emperor. If you can achieve something, you can avoid it in the future." This commandment. Come, take him down."

"A tiger's poison does not eat its children, I am your son, not a prisoner!" Guangling was grabbed by his arms from left to right, and his long legs were thrashing. go back!"

Liu Congwen sneered: "Your mother said, no matter how stubborn you are and don't repent, she will hit her head to death. You should figure it out yourself."

"... Liars! You are all liars!"

Guangling's wailing gradually faded away, Xiao Changli touched his nose to hide the smile from the corner of his mouth, and then went to see the scholar.

Liu Congwen rubbed the bridge of his nose, very disturbed: "The dog is naughty, I made adults laugh."

Xiao Changli said: "Young master has a straightforward temperament, the heart of a child is very valuable, and he has the ability to subdue demons and save the world. My lord is blessed."

Liu Congwen smiled wryly: "What kind of childish heart is there to subdue demons and help the world? What's the use of those vain things? Parents only hope that their children will be safe and happy with each other. With a reckless temper like his, how can you rest assured when you are alone?"

Xiao Changli said: "What your lord said is true."

He has no likes or dislikes towards Xiao Changli and Liu Congwen, and he disapproves of his father's order to let him watch him and beware of him. I'm still here, go back and rest first, don't be in a hurry to come to Yinggong."

Xiao Changli bowed his hands in thanks, and withdrew.Walking through the promenade under the eaves, at the corner, I saw the young master of the Liu family whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He looked at himself as if he was looking at an enemy: "I blame you, if I didn't save you, I wouldn't have provoked this Wait for trouble!"

Xiao Changli made an apology, but Guangling didn't need his apology, he wanted substantial benefits.

When Xiao Changli saw something being thrown towards him, he subconsciously caught it. He saw that it was a book on national policy compiled in hardcover.

"This is my handwriting, write it as it is, and don't make any mistakes."

Seeing his leaving back, Xiao Changli smiled wryly without words, and admired his shrewdness.

While he was copying the National Policy Theory, Yun Yu came to see him again.

He also didn't want to see each other in such a useless day, but he couldn't control it, and whenever he was free, he would be full of thoughts about him.

Thinking about it, why don't you take a look, anyway, it's so close, you don't need a chariot to follow, just walk here, it only takes a cup of tea.

At this time, the palace lanterns were just coming on, and Yun Yu came wearing a bright yellow cloak of velvet, wearing the shadow of the lights. The moment Xiao Changli opened the door, Xiao Changli looked up and saw his nose that was a little red from the cold, and his heart trembled.

"Your Majesty..." When he got up to greet him, he forgot to put down the pen in his hand.When Yun Yu helped him up, ink was stained on his sleeve, leaving a mess.

"What are you doing?" Yun Yu took off her cloak, warmed her hands on the brazier beside the table, suddenly understood, and looked at Xiao Changli, "I told you to copy, so you copied it?"

Liu Congwen xunzi's affairs are well known throughout the court, and Yun Yu naturally knows too. Why does Xiao Changli have to copy the national policy theory?If you think about it, you must be favored by others and only know that the favor is repaid.

"How many times this time?" Seeing that Xiao Changji didn't speak, he sat down and flipped through the copied paper, wondering why Xiao Changli's handwriting became so exaggerated.

Xiao Changli said: "Ten times."

Yun Yu frowned: "Ten times? Liu Congwen is really ruthless. However, he can not want his son's hand, but I can't want yours." He looked at Xiao Changli with a smile, picked up a Pen, lay out a page of paper, "It's a long night, I'll stay with you."

Xiao Changli said: "No..."

"Why not? This national policy theory is also the homework given to me by the Taifu. I didn't do it well before. Now I have this rare opportunity. It's better to consolidate it." Yun Yu wrote while talking, he just wanted to find someone Just a reason to stay with him.
