A Guide to Keeping a Domestic Unicorn

The prince has recently carried out a drastic reform of his official positions, vigorously promoting some young and promising officials with low status. The left prime minister Liu Qingshuang he brought with him is the best selected from among the young talents.

Liu Qingshuang was in his youth, full of talent, but he offended the powerful because of impartial law enforcement, and he was repeatedly suppressed because of his civilian background. He ranked first in the official examination held by the prince just now, and was directly promoted after being interviewed by the prince, who brought him to see him personally Qingyan.

Qingyan was injured, the crown prince forbade him to get up to greet him, together with Qi Jia, the four of them had dinner together in the palace.

Liu Qingshuang has a clear appearance, firm eyes, and a good sense of speech. Qingyan is very satisfied with the talent promoted by the crown prince, but he is also worried: "Brother emperor, although your actions are beneficial to the country and the people, but they have moved the court. Those old guys may not be willing to let go of the interests of those entangled veterans.”

Liu Qingshuang said: "This point has also been discussed with the Crown Prince. The opinion of the subordinate is to focus all the blame on the subordinate, let the subordinate come forward, and continue to draft opinions on reforming the official position. As long as it is for the sake of the world, the subordinate will never I will die!"

Liu Qingshuang is a very responsible person, and Qi Jia also heard it. He meant that he should follow the example of those reformers whom he read about in history books, and bear all the criticism and hatred on his shoulders, just like Shang Yang, this kind of People are doomed to have no good results, and they will inevitably be retaliated by the powerful. Liu Qingshuang has clearly made up his mind.

Qingyan said: "You are much more pragmatic than that Murong Sulan, you boldly do what you should do, the crown prince and I will fully support you."

"Murong Sulan, speaking of him, how did he live after he retired?" Qi Jia suddenly remembered that great talent who was always in crisis.

The prince said: "I also sent someone to inquire about him, thinking that he could change his mind and serve the country, but he has made up his mind to retire, although I don't think he has ever been out of the mountains, I have no choice but to respect his wish.

Since he returned to Jiangnan, I heard that he and that girl have experienced many hardships, such as amnesia, blindness, poisoning, coma, falling off a cliff, parents' opposition, childhood sweetheart's scheming..."

"Wow, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you can figure it out!" Qi Jia sighed.

"Ahem, I'm just cherishing my talents." The prince coughed dryly, "Anyway, the last time I sent someone to visit him, he finally went through all kinds of disasters and successfully married that girl. It is estimated that after his life stabilizes, he may be married. I want to go on a career."

"A man who really does great things should cut off his lust and have no worries." Liu Qingshuang said disdainfully, "I have already sworn that I will never marry and have children until the country really ushers in a peaceful and prosperous age! Never indulge in gentleness! Nor can Leave any weaknesses to yourself!"

"Okay, I am really happy that the crown prince has an official like you to assist me, Lord Liu, I would like to offer you a toast." Qing Yan put on the prince's airs and said.

"Qingyan, you are still recovering from your injuries and cannot drink. I will drink this glass of wine for you." The prince took the wine glass from Qingyan's hand and said.

"Brother Huang, aren't you also recuperating?" Qing Yan said.

"My injury has healed a long time ago." The prince patted him on the shoulder, "I was only injured on the flesh, and your injury is on the bone. If you don't want to become a cripple in the future, don't be willful."

After drinking with Mr. Liu, the prince said: "Qingyan, I have one more thing to come to you. The elders in the court can't sit still recently. They insisted on holding a beauty pageant to choose the princess and concubine. They talked a lot about inheriting the family The reason is that the father went to Saibei, and they messed around like this behind, clearly trying to mess up the situation!"

"Eh? Can't we shirk?" Qi Jia asked.

"I can't shirk it. Earlier, I replaced the officials. In order to reduce resistance, I reached an agreement with these elders. It was originally agreed that I would choose a concubine when the father returned in triumph. However, these elders acted without authorization. When the father was seriously ill, they had already died. The selection of concubines was started among the people, and the imperial edict issued by the imperial concubine at that time was also taken.

Now the imperial decree has long been known to the people, so there is no joke.Even if these veterans are abolished, it is too late. "The prince sighed.

Liu Qingshuang said: "The most abominable thing is that most of the so-called concubine candidates are the daughters or relatives of these powerful people. This is obviously to create a new royal relationship and form a party of noble concubines and princes in the future, just like the previous dozen or so It's like a battle between a prince and a prince, and it seems that it has stabilized the hearts of these powerful people, but it has actually planted a huge hidden danger in the future!"

"Then what should we do?" Qing Yan said.

"So, I took advantage of the loopholes in this edict. You see, the emperor left a secret decree before and made you the crown prince." The prince showed Qing Yan the secret decree of Emperor Taiyuan, "So I can explain it , saying that the choice of concubine this time is actually chosen for you."

"Wow!" Qing Yan and Qi Jia exclaimed.

"Don't panic, my brother will not push you into the fire pit—but, in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, there is a rule that if the selected concubine is dissatisfied with her husband within three months, she can withdraw the engagement. You You know what to do!" the prince said.

"You mean, let me get angry with the chosen concubine?" Qing Yan said.

"Maybe you don't even need to get angry. I need a suitable candidate to enter the final round of selection for the princess. It's best to overwhelm the crowd and let those girls retreat. Then you can play as you like." The prince said, "I think Qi Jia is the most suitable candidate for this!"

"Ahhh! But I'm a man!" Qi Jia exclaimed.

"But you also know that masculinity is prevalent now. Although it cannot be said that it is completely accepted by the world, there is no rule that men cannot be selected as concubines. I have already signed up for you." The prince said, "Tomorrow is the concubine selection ceremony. The second round of selection mainly examines talent and learning, Qi Jia, you come from a family of generals, so you shouldn't lose to those girls in this aspect!"

Cold sweat broke out on Qi Jia's forehead—it seemed that he really lost to those ladies, because he really didn't understand these so-called classic poems and books in ancient times!

"I also think that Qi Jia will not lose to those people!" Qing Yan was quite confident, only to hear him continue: "Qi Jia has a lot of ways to cheat!"

Qi Jia was taken aback for a moment, I didn't think of the way of cheating before you said it first, why don't you be so straightforward!

"Then these are the exam questions for tomorrow. I've already asked for them for you. You should prepare them tonight." The prince stuffed an envelope into Qi Jia.

After the prince left, Qi Jia and Qing Yan began to study the exam question, which turned out to be about composing poetry.

"Isn't it easy, Qi Jia, you can easily get away with it by using the excellent poetry of the world you are in!" Qing Yan said.

"But those poems are not made by me. If I am a blockbuster at this kind of talent conference, people will say, wow, this poem is amazing, Qi Jia must be a great poet! In fact, these poems were written by Li Bai. What is the difference between what Du Fu did and what I did, and Guo Jingming?

I will never use other people's poems to achieve my own fame! "Qi Jia said very principledly.

"Then write a poem yourself." Qing Yan said.

Qi Jia really wrote a poem by himself, Qing Yan looked at it and asked: "Is this the modern poem in the TV drama?"

"I can only write modern poems..." Qi Jia scratched his head.

Qing Yan began to read the poem written by Qi Jia:

"Ode to the Kylin, author, Qi Jia.

So small,

so fat

Soft belly and big eyes,

On top of the two little horns,

Holahola will discharge.

use up. "

"How is it?" Qi Jia asked, rubbing her hands.

Qingyan looked at Qi Jia for a long time before saying: "I think the main reason is that there is no contrast. If there is a contrast, even this poem will be very powerful when read. No, the key is not to read, but to sing!"

"Huh? How do you sing?" Qi Jia's smile froze, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'm going to give you special training tonight!" Qingyan said confidently, "You can call Li Quanhei and the others to help!"

————————————————————————

At this moment, Li Quanhei sent away Li Erhei who said he was going back to the Demon Realm to strengthen the seal, and turned around to make a long-distance call with Qi Jia using the magic weapon of thousands of miles of sound transmission.

"Ling Han, I have told Li Erhei the location of the third gold plate according to what you said. According to Li Erhei's traitorous personality, I should tell Shu Rong the news." Li Quanhei said.

"Understood, Heavenly Emperor and I will arrange the follow-up, thank you for your hard work." Ling Han said and hung up the magic weapon phone, and then continued to cook in the RV kitchen.

"It seems that we are going to set up a game for Shu Rong." The Heavenly Emperor turned the wheelchair and came behind him and said.

"I think, just wait for Shu Rong to come to the door." Ling Han smiled, and sent a piece of dark chocolate that he had cut into the mouth of the Emperor of Heaven. Look, speaking of it, I'm still looking forward to it! But, how can I be willing to make my senior brother sad?"

"Haven't you seen my broken heart?" The Emperor of Heaven grabbed his waist and let him sit on his lap, "I once went to heaven and earth to find you because I wanted to bring you back to life. For ten years."

"That kind of thing will never happen again, I will always protect senior brother." Ling Han put a piece of chocolate in his mouth, then turned his head and kissed the lips of the Emperor of Heaven.

Just when the two were kissing each other, Emperor Taiyuan suddenly knocked on the door outside and shouted: "Mr. Li is not well! Something strange happened!"

"It's really a sight..." Ling Han sighed.

At this time, Emperor Taiyuan's army had left the capital for more than 20 days and entered the territory of Qiwu Mountain. The road that originally led straight to the border disappeared in the mist.
