"Story of Caiyun Kingdom" Yunji

Eighteen

Half a month after Yun Ji's "death", Lai Junchen, who resumed night work, notified Yun Ji: "Someone questioned Hong Xiuli and you for passing the national examination by improper means, and asked you to return the title of Jinshi." .Hong Lishen is under house arrest as your guardian. A Jinshi qualification examination meeting will be held for you at noon tomorrow."

"Examine a dead person? He's quite capable." Yun Ji curled her lips in disdain.

Lai Junchen was amused by Yunji and laughed out loud: "Ha, actually you can dress up as a ghost and appear at the review meeting, and he will admit his crime without hesitation."

"Your Majesty didn't say anything?" Yun Ji restored her perfect smile.

"Half of the city's functions have been paralyzed, and the king has probably been buried by the petition." Lai Junchen stared at Yunji's eyes: "The Hong family is really big, that person should have been very panicked."

"Idiot." Yun Ji cursed in a low voice, "Didn't you know Lord Jiulang is in Guiyang? He actually provoked the entire Hong family with one move."

Lai Junchen was speechless, for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "The king has canceled your review." Then he turned and left.

Yun Ji smiled: "Come to Shangshu, I'm an official who came to the Ministry of Punishment for a visit, can I get some souvenirs?" Lai Junchen froze, and silently quickened his pace.

The next day, Yunji sneaked to the Li Palace to take a bath in the morning when there were few people, and when she changed into her Jinshi uniform, she suddenly realized that Li Shen had been "under house arrest" here, she couldn't help turning pale, and quickened her movements.

Sure enough, Ying appeared in front of Yun Ji: "Lord Sovereign asked you to see him." Yunji nodded silently, followed Ying to Li Shen, and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Sovereign."

"Your lord is in danger, but you stay here safely?" Li Shen's voice dropped to freezing point.

Yunji was very calm: "Miss Xiuli stepped into the officialdom, it is impossible for her to be in the same department as her, she needs to learn to handle the crisis by herself. Only in this way can she survive in the court. The meaning of my existence in the court is to protect Miss Xiuli. the way."

Li Shen opened his fan: "Maintain the road?"

"Yes. Any way, any means, as long as I'm still in court, Miss Xiuli will not be forced to resign." Yun Ji remained expressionless.

"I hope you don't forget this sentence." Li Shen said: "Get up."

Yun Ji got up and stood silently behind Li Shen.At this time, Lu officials came in from the door, and when they saw Yunji, their serious faces seemed to be somewhat surprised.

"Please sit down." Li Shen poured out the teapot in an elegant manner, and at the same time looked at the person in front of him and snickered: "At that time, even if you were merciless to me, you severely dampened my spirit."

The Lu official rarely frowned: "...Your spirit is not so fragile enough to be severely frustrated by me, Lord Hong Shangshu, how long will you stay here..."

"Wait until I am happy, Lord Lu Li, please have some tea."

"Don't drink tea, please hurry up and attend the court meeting. I heard the message from the servant who told me that if I accompany you, you are willing to attend. That's why I came here. I don't know what the situation in the city is like now." -"

"I'm too lazy to care about that. I'm not interested in this country or the king at all. Besides, I should let that brat sitting on the throne know more about the sufferings of the people."

"...You are the only one who can't say such things!?"

"Having said that, I never lie casually. Since I have you by my side, then I will attend the court meeting."

"It's not too late." Lu official stood up, a little anxious.

"Please sit down. It is quite a rare experience to be alone with you who are stubborn and inflexible. Before we leave, let's have a good cup of tea and talk about the past by the way."

Yun Ji listened to Li Shen and the Lu officials reminiscing about the past, and couldn't help admiring the Lu officials: they actually asked Li Shen to clean the stables.I feel lucky and strange again: why am I so lucky?

Li Shen asked this question for Yun Ji: "Then why did you arrange such a few tasks for Yun Ji?"

"I noticed Yunji's performance during the national examination. Her gentle smile perfectly concealed her extraordinary ability and fierce methods. What she needs is not only the approval of everyone, but also a path to rapid promotion. And this path , needs the protection of senior court officials, and the ministers who have seen her ability should not object to Yunji's extraordinary promotion."

"What do you mean?" Li Shen realized the true thoughts of the Lu officials, and immediately changed the subject: "——His Majesty intends to repay your long-term contributions."

The face of the Lu Li minister changed suddenly, and Li Shen forced the nearly fifty-year-old official who couldn't help but stand up back to his seat, and said with a smile: "You just said: 'Willing to attend the court meeting with me' yes Bar?"

"...I... I just need to stay in my current position..."

"If you don't go, I won't go either. It doesn't matter to me anyway, but if all the functions of the city are 'stopped' in the future, won't you, the main cause of the incident, feel uneasy about your conscience?"

"You, are you threatening me?"

"Threat? I'm just taking proper countermeasures in my capacity as the personnel manager to achieve the best efficiency in the allocation of talents. You stay in that ash who insists on being famous first, has no reputation on the top, is covered in fat, and has a stomach that is not black water." Master Shangshu of Shui’s subordinates are really abnormal, when there is a shortage of talents, how can they be assigned to such a department to waste time.”

"...How can it be a waste of time to plant and cultivate new subjects!"

"Are you really so reluctant? But it's a pity to let you come to His Majesty's side, ah yes! Do you want to come to my house to be the general manager? I think you must have a way to train my wayward brother vigorously , Correct his personality."

Minister Lu Li immediately gave in. If he was to be the chief executive of the Red Minister—"Then I will walk with you..."

Li Shen showed a sincerely disappointed expression, but he straightened up his emotions and got up gracefully: "Then, according to the agreement, we can start." Folding the folding fan casually, Li Shen stepped out slowly. "Yun Ji, you can come too."

"Yes." Yun Ji followed behind the two.

The author has something to say: Li Shen's dialogue is so classic... I almost couldn't help but move it all here...
