Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

Yang Shangshu lowered his head slightly, and said to Xiao Jining: "My Majesty, I feel that Qiu Wenbai is a good person."

Qiu Wenbai was the only one among the first eight candidates in Wen Yu and Liu Huai who was not good at military power, so his article Xiao Jining was still a bit impressive.

Xiao Jining remembered that his articles were not bad, and Yang Wenyu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials above the court, was considered a fairly upright official - he was also a party minister who supported the Seventh Prince.

"What do you think of Mr. Xie?" Xiao Ji Ning looked at Mr. Xie noncommittally and asked.

"Your majesty, I feel that Liu Huai can also be a pillar of my great Xiao." Xie Xiang gave Xiao Jining an expected name.

After all, among the ten test papers, Wen Yu and his articles were the most impressive.

"Liu Huai and Qiu Wenbai are both talented people. And Wen Yu..." Xie Xiang lowered his eyes, his eyes didn't know where to fall, as if staring at the throne in front of him, or as if falling to his feet to reflect himself Figure floor tiles.

He stood in this hall for the first time when he was 24 years old, but now that he is close to sixty years old, he still stands at the head of all the officials. He found that he still couldn't understand the change of fights in the court.

And Xiao Jining looked at Prime Minister Xie's frowning expression with a serious expression, and immediately asked with a smile: "I also think Wen Yu is very good, and I like him very much. As Yang Shangshu said, he is still a student of Prime Minister Xie's school?"

If Xie Xiang didn't want Wen Yu to enter the court at this time, then he would definitely say something to change Xiao Jining's mind. Xiao Jining said this now in order to make Xie Xiang have no room to refute him—Wen Yu is Xie Jining. Xiang's students, the students he taught, if his talents are not suitable for the emperor to use, then Xie Xiang has not taught well.

Xiao Jining felt that it was too much for him to use such words to force an old man to make a choice, but he really needed Wen Yu to assist him.

Xie Xiang raised his head upon hearing this, and stared at Xiao Jining for a while, but what he said afterwards made Xiao Jining stunned for a long time.He said: "Wen Yu is indeed a student of the old official's school, and he is the most proud student of the old official's school. The old official watched him grow up. Although this son is not surnamed Xie, he has the character of my Xie family."

"If the emperor believes in the old minister, and my surname is the Xie family, Wen Yu will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

Speaking of the latter, Xie Xiang directly lifted up his clothes and knelt heavily in front of Xiao Jining, and made a big salute.

The action of Xie Xiang kneeling and saluting caught Xiao Jining off guard, because Xie Xiang was old, and Xiao Jining respected him very much, so every time he went to the court, Xiao Jining would give Xie Xiang a seat, and specially allowed Xie Xiang not to stand up to the court, let alone to see him. Make a big salute.

Seeing Xiang Xie like this now, when Xiao Jining came back to his senses, he didn't even have time to think about why Xiang Xie said these words, so he hurried down the steps, bent down in front of Xiang Xiang Xie and helped Xiang Xiang Xie up from the ground himself: "Miss Xie, I Didn’t I tell you that you are not allowed to give big salutes?”

"This old minister is so happy." Xiang Xie's voice trembled, and his eyes were slightly red, "The Emperor Xin trusts this old minister so much."

"Yes, I know." Xiao Jining nodded, "Of course I trust you, Mr. Xie."

But from the bottom of his heart, at this moment, Xiao Jining's trust in Prime Minister Xie was more shock and admiration than trust.

He used vermilion to write down the imperial decree of Feng Wenyu as the number one scholar, Qiu Wenbai as the second place, and Liu Huai as Tanhua. Sitting on the emperor's throne, he watched the book and carried the imperial decree to the outside of the hall. When he read the imperial decree to the candidates waiting there, his expression was still dazed. Of course.

Outside the main hall, Wen Yu, who learned that he had really won the No. [-] Scholar, had the same expression.

He was stunned because he saw the scene of Xie Xiang kneeling in front of Xiao Jining outside the hall.

The position of champion was something he had expected, so he would not be delighted, nor would he be shocked, but he would never have guessed that Prime Minister Xie knelt down, and he knew why Prime Minister Xie knelt down. .

"Teacher..." Wen Yu's eyes were also red, and he murmured softly.

After the eunuch read the imperial edict, he did not leave the palace immediately to go home, but stood outside the Xuanzheng Hall, waiting for Prime Minister Xie to come out of the hall.

Xie Xiang also seemed to have guessed that Wen Yu would be waiting outside the hall, and he smiled when he saw Wen Yu's figure in the distance.

Chen Yu and Yang Wenyu walked behind Mr. Xie, seeing that Mr. Xie seemed to have something to say to the champion of the new division, they avoided it and went the other way.But on the way, Chen Yu, who saw Prime Minister Xie meeting Wen Yu, narrowed his eyes slightly, curled his lips and said to Yang Wenyu who was beside him: "Master Yang, just now in the hall, I spoke for the number one scholar, and it was selfishness, why don't you thank Xiang for being the number one scholar?" Talk, but you don't say a word?"

Yang Wenyu cast a sideways glance at Chen Yu, and snorted coldly: "I admire Mr. Xie, but you?" After saying this, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Chen Yu looked at Yang Wenyu's leaving back, the expression on his face remained unchanged, only the light in his eyes darkened a bit.

On the other side, without waiting for Prime Minister Xie to approach him, Wen Yu hurried up to Prime Minister Xie, knelt down as soon as his knees were bent, and confessed his mistake: "Teacher, it's the student's fault that he secretly came to the imperial examination without telling you. !you--"

Seeing this, Xie Xiang stopped Wen Yu from kneeling down, and interrupted him: "You don't need to explain, the teacher knows it all."

He neither asked Wen Yu if Chen Yu helped him, nor did he promise Chen Yu any benefits, nor reprimanded Wen Yu for not listening to him, but just sighed softly: "This is what you want most."

Wen Yu's eyes were red, she was silent for a moment, and said solemnly, "Teacher, students study for themselves, for power, for the country, and for the people. Please trust me, teacher."

For myself, so I can't listen to your words to avoid the palace test;

For power, so you have to become an official when the emperor needs people most;

For the country, so we must stand up when the country's worries gradually arise;

For the people, I will abide by my heart, your teachings, and make the people safe and smooth.

"I know, I'm old after all." Xie Xiangming nodded, but didn't say whether he would trust Wen Yu, "Since you have made up your mind, the teacher will help you one last time."

"It's just that you know my rules. With Chen Yu in front, I can't make an exception for you. You are in power. From now on, I will no longer be your teacher, and you will no longer be my student. I am just your teacher." colleagues."

Wen Yu's eyes were red, her Adam's apple was rolling, and she closed her eyes and said "yes".

"You've grown up." Xiang Xie patted him on the shoulder, walked ahead and led Wen Yu towards the outside of the palace, step by step slowly away from the palace that had cost him decades of time and took his daughter's life.

"When the Crown Princess died, I regretted it very much. I regretted sending her into the palace. I hated letting her into the palace because I was in this position."

"But it's also because I'm in this position, and the past can't be repeated, so I don't change my original intention, I can't change it, and I don't want to change it."

Xie Xiang stopped when he was approaching the palace gate, because someone was leading a white horse tied with red satin, waiting for the new champion to ride around the city, and the people all over the capital were also waiting to have a look at the champion.

And the last sentence he taught to his once most beloved student was: "Wen Yu, you have to be a good person, be a person who is worthy of me, Da Xiao, and the people of the world, so as not to fall into the character of my Xie family."

After the sun went down, Xiao Jining returned to his Golden Dragon Palace.

Because it was getting late, Xi Shu asked people to light up the lamps, and the palace people serving meals shuttled around the hall, and his faint figure could be seen through layers of gauze curtains.

And tonight, Jing Yuan was on duty, but he went to the Golden Dragon Hall because he was on duty.

Mu Kui and Xi Shu are now accustomed to when and how Jing Yuan appears in the Golden Dragon Hall, so when Mu Kui saw Jing Yuan walking into the main hall, he just bowed his head and said to Xiao Jining "Your Majesty, General Jing is here"; Xi Shu didn't say a word, just silently added a new bowl and chopsticks to the table, and then picked up Xiao Jining's special porcelain bowl to serve him rice.

Seeing that Mu Kui leaned close to Xiao Jining's ear and told him that he was coming, Jingyuan still stood there as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't even raise his eyelids to glance at him. He took away the bowl and served it to Xiao Ji Ning personally.

Seeing that his job of serving Xiao Jining's meals had already been taken over by someone, Xi Shu tactfully retreated with Mu Kui, leaving the hall to Xiao Jining and Jing Yuan alone.

"What are you thinking about?" Jing Yuan asked, and by the way, put the bowl full of white soft and fragrant rice grains in front of Xiao Jining.

Xiao Jining seemed to have come to his senses after hearing the words, stretched out his hands to hold the side of the bowl, sighed and said, "I was thinking of thanking you."

"I thought only Wen Yu could make you not even look at me when I came in." Jing Yuan's tone was light, "Why do you even think about thanking you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jining finally understood that there was something in Jing Yuan's words, and quickly coaxed him: "No, I see you all in my eyes, I just don't understand why Mr. Xie..."

Jing Yuan finished Xiao Jining's unfinished words: "Recommend Wen Yu?"

Wen Yu is a student of Prime Minister Xie. In terms of emotion and reason, Prime Minister Xie shouldn't speak for Wen Yu out of suspicion, but Prime Minister Xie not only said it, but also praised Wen Yu strongly. These words fell into the ears of his enemy , Isn't this an obvious handle?

So Xiao Jining didn't understand, he nodded and said in doubt: "I have some clues, but I don't quite understand it."

"Xie's strength of character." Jingyuan read in a low voice the four very important words Xie Xiang left on the Xuanzheng Hall today, and then snorted, "Xie Xiang is not helping Wen Yu, he is helping you."

Xiao Jining was slightly startled: "Help me?"

"Wen Yu is a very scheming person, and the city is very important, and he is even more shameless. You can't play with him when you play tricks, no matter who has thick skin—" Jing Yuan suddenly leaned over and approached Xiao Jining.

But Jingyuan stopped his movements just when he was about to touch Xiao Jining's lips, and only used warm and gentle exhalation to caress the tip of Xiao Jining's nose ambiguously.

However, this kind of distance between wanting to be close or not is the most charming and intriguing. Xiao Jining stared blankly at Jing Yuan. Even though they had already had deeper contact with each other, when Jing Yuan teased him like this, he would still I couldn't help but subconsciously shy away.

However, the current Xiao Jining has made a lot of "improvement" compared to before. He just tilted his head back slightly and then stopped quickly, pursing his rosy lips, looking more like he wanted to welcome but also refused.

In the end, Jing Yuan didn't do anything, he just touched Xiao Jining's warm ears with his lips in a funny way, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your cheeks that turn red at every turn, how can you be as warm as you?"
