"Master Ji, the emperor is in the imperial study." After getting out of the carriage, the little eunuch flung his whisk onto his elbow, and leaned slightly towards Ji Ran, "My lord, please."

"Eunuch Lao is leading the way." Ji Ran saluted.

The little eunuch's status is lowly, and he is used to being called around and drunk on weekdays. Wherever he has received such courtesy, his attitude towards Ji Ran is genuinely enthusiastic.She even thought that Ji Ran would be nervous when entering the palace for the first time, and she chatted with him thoughtfully along the way to ease her emotions.

"May I ask what your father-in-law's name is?" Sensing the other party's kindness, Ji Ran felt grateful and asked by the way.

"The little one's name is Fang De, and everyone calls me Xiao Dezi." Xiao Dezi said cheerfully, with a round face that was a bit baby fat, and two round dimples squeezed out when he smiled, looking very cute and pleasing happiness. "Master Ji, the imperial study is ahead."

Ji Ran was so focused on chatting with Xiao Dezi that he forgot to look at the palace, now that he heard about it, he looked around curiously.Surrounded by verandahs and corridors, bluestone broad roads extend in all directions, jade steps are high and decorated with flowers, and guards can be seen patrolling from time to time. The air is coming, and the head of the person is unconsciously lowered slightly following the air.

Ji Ran followed Xiao Dezi up the stairs and stood in front of the imperial study.

Xiao Dezi bowed slightly to Ji Ran, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The door of the room opened quickly, but the middle-aged eunuch who had been to Ji's residence to announce the decree came out.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Father, Master Ji has arrived."

"Well, let's go down." The middle-aged eunuch shook his whisk.

"Yes." Xiao Dezi still bowed and did not get up, "Xiao Dezi resigns." Then he took a few steps back, then turned around and hurried down the jade steps.

Ji Ran and the middle-aged eunuch were old acquaintances, and when they met, they nodded and saluted each other.

"Master Ji wait a moment, wait for the Sa family to report to the emperor first." The middle-aged eunuch did not immediately take Ji Ran in, but said to wait a moment, then turned around and went in. After a while, the other party's shrill yell sounded from inside Voice, "Xuan, Ji Ran Ji, a doctor of agriculture, sees you!"

Ji Ran stuck out his tongue at Lu Zhen outside the door, then bowed his head and walked in.After entering the door and bypassing an arch, I saw the emperor who was reviewing the memorial after the dragon case.

The emperor was dressed in an embroidered dragon-pattern uniform, with a golden crown and hair tied up. His unsmiling appearance actually made the outline of his handsome face more angular, adding a sense of emperor's majesty that was not obvious on 'Boss Huang'.Looking at this person at this moment, no one can connect that kind and easy-talking 'Boss Huang' together, they are like two different people.

"Don't look too much, kneel down." Seeing that Ji Ran was only staring at the emperor, Lu Zhen hurriedly reminded him.

Only then did Ji Ran come to his senses, and hurriedly adjusted his robes and knelt down, "Ji Ran, a doctor of agriculture, pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

He yelled full of anger, but he rolled his eyes and complained in his heart: what's so good about being an official, with his head pinned to his belt, and people kneeling back and forth without moving, how annoying!

"Pingshen." The emperor put down his pen and stood up, and walked out from behind the dragon case, "Master Ji has a long journey to Beijing this time, did the journey go well?"

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, everything went well except for the hot weather." Ji Ran spoke the truth.

But the honesty made the corner of the emperor's mouth twitch slightly. If the middle sentence was removed, it would be much more pleasing to the ear, this Ji Ran!

"Cough cough, it's good if it goes well." The emperor clenched his fist to his lips and coughed twice, "Ji Aiqing, get up, why are you still kneeling when I'm flattened, could it be that you are greedy for the coolness of the floor in my imperial study, and are reluctant to get up?" ?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Ran hurriedly stood up, getting up too hastily, and even stumbled a little.

The emperor pretended not to notice, "Does Ji Aiqing know why I am in such a hurry to call you into the palace?"

"Going back to the emperor, I don't know." Shaking his head, Ji Ran looked at the emperor again, "Then why did you summon the humble minister?" After traveling through mountains and rivers, he was exhausted, at least it gave him time to breathe!

"Oh, it's nothing important." The emperor paused before saying, "I just want to know that Ji Aiqing will take office soon, do you have any specific plans?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, it's been a few months here, although the time is not short, but the matter has been rushed, and all the things at home need to be dealt with in detail, and all the thoughts are spent on them, so it's really useless." Ji Ran clasped his hands, "I don't think this Agricultural Education Department will open for three days or two days and then close the door. The future will be long. The minister Jiran eats the emperor's salary and must be loyal to the emperor. He will definitely devote himself to the development of agriculture. The Pope will not be disappointed. Please rest assured, the emperor. I can understand the mood, but as the saying goes, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, this tofu has to be chewed slowly to taste the essence, the emperor said, the minister said, right or wrong?"

The emperor was so choked that he gritted his teeth and sneered after a while, "Ji Ran, Ji Ran, you really dare to say anything!"

"Uh..." Ji Ran's smile froze, "Well, I think that Mingjun is sensible, and what I said is not very pleasant, but the words are not rough."

"What do you mean, if I want to punish you because of this, it's not because the Mingjun is ignorant?" The emperor was almost irritated.

Ji Ran smiled, "If the emperor is not a wise king, why is our Great Southern Dynasty so prosperous?"

The emperor stared at Ji Ran, speechless for a while.

"Emperor, Your Majesty..." Ji Ran glanced at the emperor's face, and then trembled, showing fear, "But, but the minister said something wrong? Well, the minister has no ink, he is really stupid and can't speak, if there is Please forgive me for the collision, please don't cut off my head, I have an 80-year-old grandfather on the top, and a one-year-old child on the bottom, I..."

"Okay, put away your flamboyant acting skills." The emperor interrupted Ji Ran, "You don't have to turn a corner to insult me. I am really anxious. In recent years, the surrounding small countries have been restless, especially The Huns were restrained in the past, but they have repeatedly violated our borders recently. This war is just a small fight at present, but the relationship between the two countries has long been at the same level, and other countries, big and small, are also eyeing it. They may form alliances and invade at any time , the war is only a short-lived thing, marching and fighting, food and grass are indispensable, but the floods and droughts in the past two years have caused a lot of damage, and if you want to go back to the old situation at once, you will definitely not be able to rest for three to five years. Not to mention, the crops are prosperous and the materials are abundant, if I say that, do you understand what I mean?"

This shit...

Ji Ran almost wants a dog leash.

"The emperor puts such a heavy burden on the humble minister, will it be too..."

Before Ji Ran finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor, "I have seen your ability with my own eyes, and I believe you can do it."

Hehe, it sounds nice, but it's just using people as hard labor.

Ji Ran twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling depressed in her heart.This errand sounds like it's not difficult, and it's all my own business, but it's incomparable to do it by myself and with a big boss.If you do a good job, it may not be for your own benefit, but if you don’t do it well, then the responsibility is all on your shoulders. If you don't pay attention, you may be chewed to the bone by the big fish.

But the most damning thing is that the little fish and shrimp have no choice, even if they know the depth of the water and the boss tells them to jump, they still have to jump.Besides, it's all come to this point, it's obviously impossible to let go of the pick. The emperor has a good temper at the moment, so it's useful to keep the 'little shrimp', but once the 'little shrimp' is not used, the consequences can be imagined.

After thinking about it in his heart, Ji Ran sighed, "Hey, Your Majesty, to be honest, I'm just a farmer, so I'm not expected to be an official, but eating the king's salary to relieve the king's worries, I did it, But your Majesty, that, you also know that my lack of culture is a bit scary, my mouth is stupid like something, and it is easy to offend people as soon as I open my mouth, the trouble comes from my mouth, I know it myself, I just can’t control my mouth , the mouth is faster than the brain, and I can say it as soon as my skin is bald. Besides, Princess Yuning and I have not dealt with each other. Now that I am an official in the capital, it can be regarded as putting her under her nose. This minister... I am really afraid of death ah."

"Huh?" The emperor's eyebrows twitched, and he narrowed his eyes and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to say?"

"How about, the emperor will give me a gold medal for avoiding death. The head is safe, and the minister is at ease. Besides, the qualifications of the minister are not enough. This fifth-rank official is really guilty. It is certain that others will not be convinced. With this gold medal for avoiding death , I can make it easier for the minister to do his work, otherwise his hands and feet will be tied up, and this job will not be easy to do." Ji Ran looked like a little daughter-in-law, but in fact, his eyes were sneakily aiming at the emperor's waist.

The emperor was disgusted by him, and was even more angry at his overreaching, but after careful consideration, these words were indeed not unreasonable, so even though he knew in his heart that he was cheated by Ji Ran, he was still unwilling. Willingly agreed to the other party's request.

"Ren Changfu, give him my death-prevention gold medal." After finishing speaking, the emperor flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked back to the dragon case and sat down. Although he was too angry to talk to Ji Ran, he still had to explain what should be said, "I I know you don’t know much, so when you work in the Agricultural Education Department, you only need to use your brain and words. Where you need to write and edit, you have someone to do it for you. , it can be regarded as one of the household department, so your direct superior is Li Ming, Shangshu of the household department, you can go to him if you need anything, and if necessary, you can also go directly to the palace to face the saint."

"Yes." Ji Ran listened to the calculations in his heart, but pretended to be simple and honest. At this moment, Ren Changfu came over with the gold medal for avoiding death and the jade card for entering and leaving the palace. Ji Ran hurriedly took it with both hands. But, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

When the emperor saw the death-prevention gold medal, his teeth became sore, and he waved impatiently, "It's alright, alright, you can kneel down."

"Yes, I will leave." Ji Ran bowed and kowtowed, then got up and retreated to the arch.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the emperor suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Remember to work hard, and don't disappoint my high hopes for you, brother and sister."

boom!

Ji Ran's foot slipped, and his forehead hit the arch when he missed his turn. He felt so ashamed that he didn't dare to look back at the emperor's reaction. He ran away in a panic, clutching his forehead, and left the imperial study in the blink of an eye.

After finding love, the emperor suddenly felt a sense of revenge, and felt much more at ease.Shaking his head speechlessly, he picked up the ink brush again and continued to review the memorial.

Little did he know that Ji Ran rushed out of the imperial study room, saw no one was around, and surreptitiously pointed his middle finger at the door, then left while rubbing his forehead and complaining to Lu Zhen in a low voice.
