[System] Former political enemies are all guilty of peach blossoms

In the middle of Huazhang Palace is the Xinmu Palace, where the prime minister is the head of all officials.

Headed by this hall, there are also the Sangong Hall arranged in characters, the Shude Hall of the Yushi doctor, and the Shangwu Hall of the Taiwei. Surrounding these three halls are the many small halls of Jiuqing and his officials, which are neat and square. atmosphere.

Walking on the bright and wide avenue, passing the shadows of pavilions and pavilions, it seems like the ups and downs in the officialdom.

But there was only one person who didn't have such a leisurely mood. He got off the sedan chair with a heavy heart, looked up at the magnificent gate of Xinmu Palace, and couldn't help sighing.

After the prime minister went to go to the roster a few days ago, he felt uneasy for a while.

And this morning, Liu Rulai received a letter from the messenger: Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, asked Mr. Liu to go to discuss the roster for the selection of the palace examination.

Fortunately, before he left the house, he specially burned three high incense sticks, and worshiped his ancestors: the ancestors of the Liu family are here, and the disciples of the Liu family, Tathagata, have a smooth career, and honor the lintels of the ancestors. .

Under the plaque of Xinmu Hall, the sheep-bearded man closed his eyes and muttered softly, then took a deep breath and walked into the hall.

The prime minister, the head of all officials, the head of the three princes, and the right of the emperor.

All state affairs must be discussed by the prime minister at a meeting of the three lords and nine ministers, and then reported to the emperor; all imperial edicts must be issued to the prime minister for execution; the officials have the power to appoint, remove, transfer, depose, and reward and punish. It can be submitted to the emperor to decide, and its lofty political status can be seen.

On the right side of the hall, in the golden nanmu wing room is Mei Fu's study. On the way Liu Rulai walked, he saw three, four or five male servants coming and going, holding thick memorials, classics, and scriptures, constantly flying from there. Enter and exit through the eagle-carved door, and transfer to the document processing room opposite the door.

With such a heavy workload, the tiger and wolf man still has the mind to worry about my roster for the selection hall examination?

What's wrong with me? This is it!

Liu Rulai spat secretly, there are six counties in the whole country, twelve feudal states, a total of eighteen people are listed in the roster, among them there are five referees, who have given him the advantage of being in the position.

There is no way to do this, if you want to stand out, get promoted and make money, those who have some conditions will naturally choose to bring a few golden stepping stones.

Thinking about him back then, he had no power or power, and he was wronged by the Mu family. He had a hard head and hoped that he would not be able to find an official position for almost ten years.

After this downfall, the good bird chose a good tree to live in, and changed its backer, and immediately Jiuqing too often came to him.

Um?Wait, compared to those people, isn't there a big trouble in the roster, Mu Yunmen, who will attract Mei Fu's attention? !

The current Prime Minister Mei Fu is the eldest brother of Empress Mei, and also the emperor's most capable court assistant.Three years ago, the former prime minister Mu Yunmen was cut off from his official position with a radical view of cutting the title. The two can be said to be political enemies who hate each other!

The moment Liu Rulai stepped into the prime minister's study with silk shoes, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he thought of a crooked idea, maybe this way he could fool Mei Fu.

"I've seen the prime minister too often."

As soon as his thoughts fell, Liu Rulai bowed and cupped his hands and said loudly at the door of the study.

The room was silent for a long time, only the sound of pages turning could be heard continuously. When he bowed his head and bent over a little sorely, a deep and magnetic sentence came from not far away, like the echo of a bell.

"Tai Chang Mo is more polite, there is a high seat in front of the truth, please."

The man who spoke was a bit lazy, but his words carried an undeniable force.

Liu Rulai pretended to be calm, and after responding, he approached the long low table of golden nanmu, which was covered with paperwork in all directions. Even the wooden floor beside the table had dozens of small wooden shelves stacked with memorials. Opposite the table, there was a white gold Thread embroidered silk cushions, he sat cross-legged.

Behind the table where the documents were separated, a tall and stalwart man sat cross-legged. He was about three years old, with sharp edges and corners, eagle eyes and a high nose.

But the aura of this person is really deterrent and domineering, and he raised his eyes lightly, as if he was about to pierce Liu Rulai's thin body with hundreds of arrows.

"I don't know why the Prime Minister summoned the officials to come here?"

The man with the goatee asked, trying to straighten his body and stop his trembling knees.

"It's been the third year that you've been in charge of the selection palace examination. Truth just wanted to take care of the situation. I looked at the roster of the selection palace examination a few days ago..."

"Gollum."

As Mei Fu finished half of his sentence, Liu Rulai couldn't help swallowing his saliva to relieve his thirsty throat, and continued to listen to the second half of the sentence with concentration.

"The two of Tengjun and Yijun should recommend again. When they go back, they will immediately send a message to the prefects of each county. At the same time, they warn that the imperial court does not need bullies who plunder innocent women as concubines and rich businessmen who are ignorant and uneducated. Choose talents carefully. ..."

As soon as Liu Rulai heard it, his heart turned half cold in an instant, it's over, two of them were replaced just as they came up!

"As for you, Master Liu, if you are still in this position next year, you should verify the knowledge, eloquence, filial piety, and virtue of the person on the list recommended by various places. This is your usual duty."

Mei Fu propped her chin with her slender knuckles, while picking up a pen, she gently crossed out the names of the two people mentioned in the roster in front of her with ink, and finally tapped the tip of the pen on the table twice, just like hitting Liu Rulai's heart.

Liu Rulai, who was still very good at observing faces, immediately understood the meaning of Mei Fu's words: if you don't work hard next time, be careful not to lose your official position.

The thin face of the man with the sheep beard was tense, he nodded obediently and said yes, and completely lost his awe-inspiring prestige in front of other officials.

Presumably Mei Fu has an intelligence network, and ordered someone to check it when he got the roster, but the other three are people from the feudal state, because of the relationship between the central government and the feudal state, the prime minister chose to ignore these three people, so as not to offend the emperor Sensitive sparks with the clans and kings.

"In addition, I saw an unexpected name in the roster...Mu Yunmen? The person recommended by Weiyang County is you, Liu Taichang. Why does Mr. Mu appear in this roster?"

Seeing that Mei Fu didn't ask more about those five people, and the few boxes of gold in his house were considered safe, but the topic turned to Mu Yunmen, Liu Rulai was relieved and decided to have a big talk on this topic, Attract the prime minister's attention.

If Mei Fu took revenge and crossed out Mu Yunmen's name, Mu Yunmen pretended to be innocent and said that he had tried his best, and the big backer behind him would be happy too, killing two birds with one stone!

Clever plan, clever plan!

Liu Rulai was complacent about his brainstorm.

"A few days ago, Mu Yunmen recommended himself to his subordinate Mao Sui, saying that he would have a good strategy for the emperor to disturb the state affairs. He hoped to pass the selection test and return to the officialdom. In view of the fact that several candidates who were popular in Weiyang County this year belonged to Muyunmen. He is the most experienced, not only familiar with the flow of state affairs, but also the feat of persuading King Yan to give up the rebellion ten years ago, the subordinates believed that he had made great achievements in the study of dissolving the feudal power, so the subordinates boldly recommended Mu Yunmen."

Liu Rulai said seriously, full of confidence.As for Mu Yunmen's little advice to him, he just kept it in his heart.

Mei Fu's golden eagle eyes cast a cold glance at Liu Rulai, then looked down at the names on the roster.

"I heard that you were also his servant?"

The word "Ye" with an accentuated tone was like the powerful hand of King Kong pinching Liu Rulai's neck, making him hesitate for a long time, and finally fell silent, not knowing how to reply.

"I thought he gave up a long time ago. After spending the rest of his life in such a mediocre way, it would be good to return to his hometown to retire like other former emperors and veterans. But he knows that there are tigers in the mountains and he prefers to go to the mountains. Not to mention the sage, even the truth He dares to come back even if the person who won't make him feel better is still sitting in this seat? Hmph..."

Mei Fu talked to himself, the words were full of arrogance and sarcasm, but the pen was still on the pen, and his eyes were still lingering on the paper.

This actually made Liu Rulai wonder, what an old relationship you and Mu Yunmen have formed, that is well known to everyone in the world, so hurry up and write it off!

"The original intention of the lower official was to help the present-day sage choose talents...but he offended the Prime Minister. The lower official will immediately replace the candidate recommended by Weiyang County. I will go home and learn from it. I will think about it for a while fan."

Seeing Mei Fu's undecided appearance, the man with the sheep beard cupped his hands and said, wanting to take the opportunity to draw out the prime minister's true intentions.

Doesn't it just need a step?I've made the old shop for you, follow along quickly.

But things didn't go as planned, the honorable prime minister put down his brush, straightened the black white eagle's official robe, cast a sideways glance at Liu Rulai with sharp golden black eyes, and said something that almost made him doubt his life.

"No, what you said is reasonable. Muyunmen does have a bit of ink about the strategy of closing the country. Except for Muyunmen who will be checked by me personally, the two mentioned before have been replaced. Within [-] days, you have to give me Come out with a new roster."

After the words fell, he directly sent his first edition roster to the fiery heart of the nearby lampstand, and it was instantly reduced to ashes

"...The next officer takes orders."

For the first time since birth, Liu Ru hated her eloquence so much.

A few days later, Mu Yunmen waited quietly at home for the selection palace examination, which was almost two months away, but he waited for a letter full of surprises and chills.

The bold and bold font written on the paper reads:

Hearing that former Prime Minister Mu Daren's name was included in the selection list, Fu was greatly surprised and delighted, and wished to reunite with Mu Daren to share their ambitions.

I hope I can choose a good day and auspicious day to visit Mufu in person.

Waiting for an answer.

梅馥

After reading the letter, the man was stunned.

Always restrained and calm, his hands holding the paper were trembling faintly, and his mind went blank, and he couldn't think about why the sender sent this extremely weird letter.

declare war?Make peace?find fault?

"System identification, this is the follow-up development of the chance event triggered by the host not long ago, it is very likely to receive random rewards, I hope the host will participate more and pay more attention."

At the moment when the voice in his head was calmly narrating, Mu Yunmen wished he could travel through time and space and slap his confused self to wake up!

The author has something to say:

As I was writing, I actually felt that the opportunist Liu Rulai was a little cute.

Xiao Gong is on the stage~
