Facts have proved that this early court was indeed as Ji Ran had expected, the grand ostentation dragons lined up from the Golden Luan Hall all the way to the bottom of the jade steps, extending beyond the end in sight.With so many people standing half the night against the night wind, even the emperor couldn't see them. I really don't know the meaning of this morning court. From Ji Ran's point of view, it's just a mess.

Those who are lucky enough to enter the palace are first-rank ministers like the first assistant prime minister, and fifth-rank officials like Ji Ran can only stand upright against the wind.Others don't know how they feel about this, anyway, Ji Ran is quite at ease, happy and leisurely, but standing still suffers, coldness is the second, standing still and keeping one movement, it's fine for a short time, but it's deadly for a long time.

"Xuan! Dr. Farmer, Mr. Ji Ranji has an audience!"

Ji Ran was sneaking around his sore ankle, and almost staggered when he heard this sound, but he was hugged by Lu Zhen, so he didn't make a mistake.But it was just this stumbling, Ji Ran didn't realize what the series of shouts just now meant.

"Go, the emperor has summoned you." Seeing that he didn't respond, Lu Zhen pushed Ji Ran out of the queue with a light push, "Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Only then did Ji Ran come to his senses, exchanged a glance with Lu Zhen, and hurried up the stairs.

But these hundreds of jade steps alone are enough for people to climb, you can't slow down or take a break, you have to go up in one go, and when you finally reach the top, Ji Ran's back is covered with white sweat, and he sneaks up to take a breath , and then quickly walked into the hall.

"My humble servant Ji Ran pays respects to my emperor, long live my emperor!" When Pu Tong knelt down, Ji Ran frowned, and managed to hold back his teeth from grinning.Damn, that kneeling hurts so much!

"Pingshen." The emperor raised his hand, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger on his solemn face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Ran hurriedly stood up, then lowered his head and waited for the emperor's instructions, but his eyes rolled around and looked at the expressions of the two rows of ministers, in order to guess the emperor's intention of announcing him to come in this time.

But these people are all good people, Ji Ran looked at several of them, but didn't see any clues.

"I don't know what's going on, the emperor's ministers are here with you?" After waiting for a long time, Ji Ran finally couldn't help but ask without any response from the emperor.

"It's nothing." The emperor said, "I announced you to come in, just to tell you that you don't need to stand outside in the early morning."

"Ah?" Ji Ran was taken aback when he heard the words, and raised his head subconsciously, only to realize that the emperor's eyes were full of jokes, while the ministers on both sides looked at the bumpkins...

The emperor caressed the armrest of the dragon chair, with a smile on his lips, "I told you to flatten your body, so you can stand in the queue. If you stand there motionless, I thought you have something to play?"

Ji Ran: "..." Damn it, it's the morning court, why does it feel like being dragged by the emperor to perform a monkey show for people's entertainment?

Ji Ran complained in his heart, and was thinking about finding a place at the end to stay, when a minister who was about [-] years old stepped forward in two steps.

"I heard that when Master Ji took office, he made a big effort to open up wasteland and rectify it. It is so laborious and costly to mobilize the teachers and mobilize the people. I don't know if there will be results?"

Yo, are you looking for faults?

Ji Ran raised his eyebrows, seeing that the minister didn't answer, he was silent for a while, before turning his head to look at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

"Master Ji, why don't you speak?" Seeing that Ji Ran didn't respond, the minister's face turned pale, and when he spoke again, his tone became a little harsh.

"What does the lord want me to say?" Ji Ran asked back, "How long does it take to see results? Ji Ran really admires your lord's lack of common sense and the spirit of asking questions."

"you……"

"My lord looks like an aristocrat who sits in an ivory tower and doesn't know the sufferings of the people. He only knows that people eat five grains, but he doesn't know how the five grains are produced. He thinks that if you squeeze the mud, you will have a good harvest. It's so fast, we Danan can't eat it all. What are you doing, as an official farmer who farms according to the four seasons, wasting the treasury salary for nothing.” Seeing the other party’s face turned pale, Ji Ran sneered, “My lord has been in a high position for a long time. Let the people visit the people's sentiments, so as not to ask questions that three-year-olds understand, and make people laugh."

"Hello, Ji Ran..."

"I'm pretty good." Ji Ran interrupted with a serious nod, "My lord, Ji Ran, thinks I'm good, so please learn from me how to farm the land. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, as long as food and clothing are guaranteed , A country can be strong and prosperous. Instead of talking about how to govern the country on paper, it is better to use yourself as a practice and set a good example for the people of Danan. "

"Your son is so arrogant, above the hall, in front of the emperor, how can you allow yourself to behave wildly?!" The minister was stunned for a moment, and another minister who was a little younger stood up again.

"I'm arrogant, don't you guys find fault on purpose?" Ji Ran crossed his arms, "I've been here for less than a month, and the land has been reclaimed and planted for only a few days, so you ask me about the results. Your food will mature in three or two days? I don't believe that all the grown-ups here are from noble backgrounds from the very beginning, and they don't know anything about farming. They should also be farmers. They studied hard for ten years and made it to high school. Officer, have you even forgotten at all? How is that different from wine bags and rice bags? What's the use of the court raising a group of rice buckets, just for the sake of verbal and wonderful morning monkey dramas?"

After these words were finished, many ministers present changed their expressions, and some of them were purely unrelated to their own attitudes of watching the show, and a few showed signs of playfulness or appreciation.However, no matter how everyone reacted, Ji Ran's fast, precise and ruthless remarks still did not stop there.

"I'm not educated, and I can't speak in a crooked way like your talkative ones, but at least I still remember that I am a subject of Da Nan, and I should take practical actions to share the emperor's worries, instead of stepping on a newcomer and showing off my words. Hurry up, or play some text tactics, dig some text traps, and just remove a thorn in your side without anyone noticing it!" Ji Ran looked at the two young people with burning eyes, and with his little eyesight, he couldn't see this. What kind of official positions are the two of them, anyway, they know that they can stand here, and they should not be low.

Ji Ran didn't obediently let others dig a hole and jump on his own just because the opponent's official position was high.

And the emperor was sitting there, I believe he must have a certain judgment, what is right and what is wrong, he may be fooled if he doesn't make it clear, but once he makes it clear, all the conspiracies will naturally have nowhere to hide in front of the emperor.It's hard to say if the person above is a fool, but based on Ji Ran's contact and understanding, this person is obviously not such a fool.

Those two were turned pale by Ji Ran, and they wanted to say more, the emperor who had been watching the show was finally willing to stop him with his mouth.

"Okay." The emperor said, "Ji Aiqing's words are not pleasing to the ear, but it is true. There are no crops that can be harvested in a few days. If you think his official farmer is not worthy of his name, you can exchange it with him and change to another official." Dangdang."

As soon as the emperor said this, the two of them paused, and then they glared at Ji Ran unwillingly and angrily, and stopped.

"Ji Aiqing, you should also be included." The emperor raised his chin to Ji Ran.

"Yes." Ji Ran leaned over to answer, and then he walked to the end of the line opposite the two and stood still.

There was nothing wrong with him, Ji Ran lowered his head and watched his heart, turned on the self-shielding mode, and ignored everything around him, and let the political circles above the court chatter endlessly, he stood still, all he wanted was If you don't hate me, it's my business. It's a completely different person from the sharp-tongued and sharp-mouthed person just now. Not to mention other ministers, even the emperor gave him several glances.

A morning court, just when your side plays and our side, the boring end of the back and forth.The whole process was lengthy and dull, and when the emperor finally announced his retirement, Ji Ran was almost the first to turn around and leave.

"Master Ji? Master Ji?"

Ji Ran was walking with his head down, following Lu Zhen's footsteps, when he suddenly heard someone running over behind him.Ji Ran stopped when he heard the sound, but when he turned around, he saw a young minister hurriedly walking towards this side.

Oh, there are not many young people, and Ji Ran didn't see it until he got closer. The hair protruding from the other party's official hat was actually silver-white. He was dressed in a purple official uniform. The official rank is not small.But none of these aroused Ji Ran's interest. The only thing that puzzled him was why this man had a youthful face and an old man's head. Is this a well-maintained white-haired youthful face, or a young man with white hair?

"Prime Minister Bai, Bai Muyan." As the young man walked this way, Lu Zhen leaned into Ji Ran's ear and quickly gave him a science introduction, "The fifth generation head of the Bai family is also the only official worshiping the prime minister. Six out of ten, a very individual person."

26 Ah, is that really a teenager with gray hair?

Ji Ran's attention is all on the exposed white hair.

"Prime Minister Bai called the next official, what's the matter?" When people approached, Ji Ran took the lead in bowing his hands and asking.

"It's really rare." Bai Muyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Just now in the hall, you and I have no intersection, but you know me."

"I heard it in the early court." Ji Ran babbled nonsense. In the court hall, he watched his eyes, nose, nose and heart, and his ears didn't hear what was going on around him. If he really heard it and remembered it, he would be a ghost.

Bai Muyan smiled when she heard the words, she didn't know whether she believed it or not, and walked down the jade steps side by side with Ji Ran.

"Master Ji, do you know who the two of you verbally clashed in the hall?" Bai Muyan asked after walking halfway.

Ji Ran turned his head and glanced at him, "I don't know." But in fact, he had some guesses in his heart, thinking about it, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Zhen beside him.

Bai Muyan didn't notice Ji Ran's small movements, "The older one is Zhang Qizhong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the younger one is his disciple, Minister of Rites, Gao Yi."

"Oh." Ji Ran blinked, a little unsure what the purpose of this white-eyed look was, so he didn't ask casually, just quietly watching the changes.

"It's not unreasonable for the two of them to target you." Bai Muyan said.

"Oh?" Ji Ran asked, "How do you say that?"

Bai Muyan glanced at Ji Ran with a half-smile, "It's nothing more than benefits. Your Agricultural Education Department is linked to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Master Ji doesn't know?"

Ji Ran nodded.

"The reason why I said this to Master Ji has no other meaning." Bai Muyan stopped walking, "I just want to remind Master Ji to be careful, sometimes no matter how fast you speak, it's not as good as a villain's knife. Be careful, if you get stabbed, you won't be able to get up, this court affairs is far more complicated than planting rice seedlings."

After Bai Muyan finished speaking, she waved her hand and left without waiting for Ji Ran's response.

Ji Ran, on the other hand, watched the person's back go away, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

While Ji Ran was staring at Bai Muyan's back in a daze, Lu Zhen beside him didn't look very good, and squinted his eyes as he watched Bai Muyan's walking away.
