over ten thousand people

I am a state shepherd. The emperor, the biggest boss in the country, suddenly came to inspect the work. The whole state prepared in a hurry for half a month, trying to make sure nothing went wrong. As a result, the emperor disappeared by himself the next day. I'm going to find that nail-biter who swore to fight me to the end...

What should I do?Wait online, hurry up!

I think Ma Yongzhen's mood is roughly like this, because he is sweating non-stop under the eaves.I'm still waiting to hit a sweet date with a stick, so naturally it's impossible to rescue him with good intentions; and the other person who can help is currently pretending to be a wooden stake, as if everything in the hall has nothing to do with him.

Actually, if I were Xie Jingyu instead, I would definitely pretend to be dead.Because when I left the house early in the morning, I told Liu Jin that if anyone wanted to see me, they would tell me that I was still resting from the fatigue of the journey.This is not a problem at all, but all the courtiers wanted to know what I was doing. After asking around, they found that Xie Jingyu was not in the mansion at all.

He has a Zhongshu order and has no relatives or reasons in Licheng. Where can he go?

The biggest possibility is that there is nothing beside the emperor.

As soon as I appeared, he also appeared. Anyone with a little brain would think that Xie Jingyu went out with me to make an unannounced visit, and Ma Yongzhen was one of them.However, Xie Jingyu has been in Xingjing for many years, not to mention close friends, there are not many people who can be called friends, so how could he take the initiative to stand up for him?

Of course, Xie Jingyu can keep his mouth shut in the hall, but in the hall, he will probably be chased by his colleagues for questioning.

Letting you find trouble for me if you have nothing to do... Thinking of the aggrieved feeling of being put on the sidelines early in the morning, I couldn't help but want to support Wang Ruojun and annoy Xie Jingyu to death. "Perhaps it's because of the heavy traffic on the road. I slept a little too soundly this time. It's really my fault for making all my lovers wait for me for so long."

All the ministers said that they did not dare, but in fact they all looked sideways.Of course they are not so bold to question me, and the only one who gets looked at is Xie Jingyu.

I am much more comfortable.If it weren't for Xie Jingyu, my private visit would have been unnoticed, and he should be responsible for it. "Mazhou Mu," I asked by name, "I was in a hurry yesterday, so you can explain the matter in detail today, so that all the lovers here can help you come up with an idea."

Ma Yongzhen hurriedly stepped out and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty." Probably because he was too nervous, he stumbled a little while speaking, and the cold sweat broke out even more.

I just pretended not to see it.Although Li Zhengsheng didn't directly mention the relocation, one can figure out a thing or two from his words and deeds; now I listen to Ma Yongzhen's detailed explanation, and I fully understand.However, I don't plan to announce that I have been to Lizhuang, so I still follow the previous statement and ask others to provide countermeasures one by one.

After one round, the sun is past noon.I don't know whose belly growled, the whole room was silent, looking at each other.

I just noticed the passage of time.Unexpectedly, although the steamed buns are rough, they are quite resistant to hunger... "Look at me, the time has passed by accident. Today, all my loves have worked hard, so let me have a light meal at my place at noon."

All the ministers naturally gave thanks.

Although I want to give food, the conditions of the hotel are far from that of the palace, and the dishes are not so high-end if you want to.The only special thing is that I asked someone to open a can of jujube candied dates, and put a small dish in front of each official.

The last dish was a dessert sold everywhere on the streets of Licheng, but the origin of this dessert... All the ministers were silent, especially the local officials of the same state.

I didn't give them this to shut them up. "Why, don't all the lovers like this candied date? I think it's delicious."

All the ministers responded one after another, and I almost laughed when I saw the incongruous expression.Ma Yongzhen couldn't bear the invisible pressure of up and down, and praised: "This candied date is crisp and sweet, with an aftertaste in the mouth, it is indeed a rare good product."

What I want is his words. "I think so too." Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, I continued: "But I think it's still a little bit worse."

Ma Yongzhen's complexion changed back and forth, as if on a revolving door, it made me worry about his health for him. "Your Majesty is so blunt." He managed to maintain a stable tone when he said this.

"This jujube is naturally good, but if it is picked when it is still green, it will be soaked in honey, but its astringency will not be completely eliminated." I said with a smile, and ordered the green and white jujube on the plate. Jujube stone, "Wouldn't it be better if you wait until it's ripe and your heart turns red?"

Ma Yongzhen's eyes followed Zhen's movements, staring blankly at the date stone. "Turning red in your heart?" He murmured, "Your Majesty is very right, I thank you for your guidance."

I could tell he didn't understand at all.But at least he grasped the key point correctly, so I left the banquet mercifully.

After walking outside all morning, it is natural to take a nap in the afternoon.After waking up, I began to approve the papers submitted by Xingjing, with Wang Ruojun accompanying me.He is getting old, and I have already allowed him to stop waiting every day, and someone will send the approved documents to his case; but seeing his hesitant expression on his face, I knew that he was also caught by my pun. Living.

I feel a little sorry for the fact that the prime minister with real power in this dynasty endured so much hardship. "It's almost the mid-autumn festival, and the heat is still so severe," Zhen said intentionally, "Liu Jin, take two more servings of the jujube candied dates, and soak Wang Xiang's in some warm water."

Wang Ruojun hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

I have already given the excuse on my own initiative, Wang Ruojun only needs to wait for the jujube to be served and eat another one to bring up the matter of the morning again.However, he was probably unlucky—when Liu Jin brought the jujube, he told him that Xie Jingyu asked to see him.

This was a coincidence, and I said happily: "It seems that Xie Fengge is also moved by the smell, and wants to taste my dates again."

The smile on Wang Ruojun's face froze before it fully unfolded, and he probably scolded his mother in his heart.But on the surface he was tight-lipped, "I also think so, after all, Prime Minister Xie has always been lucky."

It can be seen that I have a lot of opinions on taking Xie Jingyu out this morning. This is so sour, tsk tsk... I asked Liu Jin to thank Jingyu and send another candied date along the way, and then said with a smile: "This is my negligence. Tell you to do things. When you return to Xingjing, I will reward you one by one."

Wang Ruojun panicked after hearing this, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that..."

Xie Jingyu heard the end of this sentence as soon as he entered the door, with a puzzled expression on his face.He saluted as usual, and said: "I didn't know that the king was there beforehand, and I hope that your majesty will forgive me for disturbing the king." Then, when he saw the two plates of candied dates that had just been served, his face showed a thoughtful look.

I don't care about him.After Liu Jin reappeared and took leave, I picked up a jujube. "I said in the morning that this green jujube is soaked in honey, but the inside is still white. Others see it as sweet, but only those who eat it know that there is no heart at all.

"It's the same if you put it in other places. If you can't do one thing, you feel that you have done your best, but do you think that others have already seen through you and didn't take it to heart?"

These words are almost explicit, not to mention the two of you here are not stupid.Wang Ruojun suddenly realized it first, then his face turned pale, and he hurriedly left after eating.As for Xie Jingyu, he looked at Wang Ruojun's back, and said when he could no longer see, "Your Majesty, are you implying that Mazhou Mu is not sincere?"

I just smiled and kept eating my dates.Although I deliberately talk about being sincere, the delicious candied dates are innocent.

Xie Jingyu turned his head and saw that I was concentrating on picking and choosing from the plate, and seemed a little helpless. "Mazhou Mu naturally wants to do things well, but it's a pity that the method is wrong. The sentence that His Majesty once asked his ministers to recite "Mencius" is still fresh in my memory. Since the people are more important than the emperor, the ministers can only rank themselves after your majesty. .If you put yourself above the people and be so arrogant, you will definitely not be able to get things done."

I started to chew a new date, wondering what Xie Jingyu would say.

"Your Majesty also said that there is still a stick for the sweet dates." Xie Jingyu sighed slightly, "I thought it was the stick first and then the dates, but your Majesty gave out the dates, but the stick has declined. Now it seems that if Mazhou Mu is clever If there are some, it’s time to ask for the stick.”

He was right, but I just smiled: "I didn't say anything."

Seeing my reaction like this, Xie Jingyu was startled, and then hurried to attend and knelt down. "Your Majesty is young, but his ability to control people is so proficient, I have to admire you."

I wiped my hands and mouth, then looked at his back and said slowly: "But I found that Xie Fengge has become more and more courageous recently, and he dares to say anything in front of me." The crime of testing the king's heart is also appropriate.

Xie Jingyu was stunned again, and then said in a low voice: "The left and right ministers are not guilty of this crime, so why not say a few more words?"

In fact, his words were close to whispering to the ground, but the room was terribly quiet, and I could hear them clearly. "After all these days, I thought you figured it out. Or," I dragged the end, "you are sure that I won't punish you, so you act more recklessly?"

"I don't dare." Xie Jingyu immediately apologized, "It's just that your majesty is willing to be the wise king of the world, and he will not deliberately vent his anger on the minister." After finishing speaking, he was silent for a while, "besides, if your majesty wants the minister to die, There is no need for His Majesty to bother to punish the crime."

... I don't need to bother with punishing the crime?

I choked for a moment.There is a saying that the ruler wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, but why do I think Xie Jingyu's meaning goes further?
