How come the Raiders of Quick Pass is full again?

Not long after the incident of listening to the opera, Chen Liben mentioned in class that the Spring Festival had begun.

Xi Yue saw that Chen Liben was getting more and more busy, his energy was not good, and his complexion was not very good, so he advised him to come to class less.But Chen Liben refused. He made an impassioned statement, saying that after finally meeting Mingjun, he would definitely do his best with all his might.

But Chen Liben didn't dare to show the little emperor's changed attitude very clearly, so he basically maintained the same frequency of entering the palace as before.

During class, Xi Yue also found that, except for the first conversation with Xi Yue, Chen Liben lost his composure under the influence of the buff, and couldn't help but talk more. After that, he seldom talked about sensitive topics with Xi Yue, even if he talked about It is also very cryptic.

Xi Yue felt that this old minister really understood, at least he was not a pig teammate who gave away the head, and the small buff was very useful.

What Xi Yue didn't know was that Chen Liben did much more than that.After seeing the little emperor's terrified attitude towards the regent that day, Chen Liben began to pay attention to the regent.

He would counteract him as if there was nothing, and make small moves in the subtleties, but it seemed that it was just his usual reticent style, which made the regent unable to see the clue.

There is another most important reason why the regent didn't notice something was wrong.For some reason, Xiang Chongshan didn't pass on the important conversation between Xi Yue and Chen Liben that day to the regent.

The regent actually didn't like or even looked down on this concubine who might pose a threat to him, so he appointed him to be the little emperor's personal bodyguard to keep an eye on him.This job can only be done by an absolute self, but has no power, no power, no status, is restricted in freedom, and is extremely boring.

Isn't Xiang Zhongshan passionate and ambitious, but he was arranged to be the shadow behind the incompetent little emperor since he was a child, and he felt very aggrieved.Even because of this, his initial attitude towards the little emperor has always been bored.

Even so, even if he doesn't like this job, Xiang Zhongshan has been monitoring the little emperor's every move and reporting the changes to the regent.But this time, for some reason, knowing that the news was very important, he didn't want to say it.

It seems that there is a voice that has been blocking him, the voice from the bottom of his heart told him, don't do this, or you will regret it.

Therefore, the regent and the empress dowager did not know the change of the little emperor, nor did they know that Chen Liben had secretly raised the hope of supporting the little emperor, and became a staunch royalist.Even because Xi Yue was threatened by the regent, he wanted to start doing something.

Xi Yue didn't know the secret undercurrents of his teammates.In the past month, Xi Yue went to the imperial court three times, and spent the rest of the time in class and leisurely.

During this period of time, he has thoroughly explored the imperial garden, and he has figured out which corners and corners of the stone resemble any animal.

And he was eager to try to enter the kitchen by himself, but as expected, everyone was scared to death at the first hint of this idea, and he was blocked to prevent him from entering. Even Chen Liben said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. The empress dowager was shocked.

Xi Yue couldn't help but miss the food stalls he ate on the first day when he left the palace, and felt very melancholy.

After the Empress Dowager took power, she gradually reduced the court meeting days on which the emperor himself had to appear to the first day of each month, so there were only three days: January, November, and Twenty-one.

And when she went to court, her throne was set directly next to Xi Yue, as if the two monarchs stood side by side, and Xi Yue didn't have much say, just a big doll posing.

But after going to court a few times, Xi Yue still vaguely saw some meaning from the turbulent undercurrent.

As the empress dowager's nephew, the regent is also the spokesperson chosen by the empress dowager from her own forces. It stands to reason that he should share his nostrils with the empress dowager and be a firm voice.

However, after Xi Yue observed it, he felt that the regent was already faintly fighting against the empress dowager.He sometimes puts forward contrary opinions, and there are also a large number of ministers who support him.Although on the bright side, the Empress Dowager is still the absolute leader.

And Chen Liben leads a small group of neutral factions, who are not involved in party disputes, are not attached to any party, and only do things that are most beneficial to the country, and they also have a place in the court.Although Zhaokang is very ambitious, he is not stupid. Most of the decisions he makes are indeed based on the country, so naturally he will not embarrass the real pillar of the country.

Although Xi Yue couldn't quite understand Chen Liben's operation, he felt that Chen Liben seemed to have already taken action.This means that the neutral faction led by Chen Liben has indeed firmly stood behind him.Gradually, Xi Yue seemed to figure out how to complete this task.

In this month, Xiang Zhongshan didn't know why, he didn't do anything beyond the distance, and he didn't touch him again.Xiang Zhongshan's expression on Xi Yue was not the same as before, only aggressive and possessive, as if treating an object that belonged to him.Now his eyes are very complicated, always a bit thoughtful.

I don't know if it's because of this, but Liang Ye seems to be in a good mood during this time, and his complexion is getting better gradually.

Regarding Xiang Zhongshan's attitude, Sansan once muttered: [Why did this target suddenly change his gender? 】

Xi Yue's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly, and Sansan immediately realized that he shouldn't mention him, and hurriedly circled around with a haha: [Oh, don't care about him, anyway, it can't be because I don't want to see your disgusting eyes again. . 】

Xi Yue didn't answer, nor did he say anything.

On this day, Xi Yue got the news from Chen Liben that the results of the general examination had been released, and although Wei Shenmo was not at the top of the list, his ranking was also very high.As for the top of the list, as Xi Yue expected, it was a descendant of the Xiang family, from the side of the Empress Dowager.

It's just that I don't know how many people from the Empress Dowager's side are still following the Empress Dowager firmly, and how many have secretly joined the Regent's command.

After the general examination has passed, it is time to prepare for the palace examination.The emperor supervised the palace examination, but the empress dowager would still sit on the side. Xi Yue estimated that there would be no difference from the court meeting, and he was just a mascot.

On the day of the palace examination, there were two rows of candidates standing in front of the palace. The distance was too far, and Xi Yue could barely make out where Wei Shenmo might be.

The invigilator was naturally very boring, so Xi Yue complained to Sansan: 【Kneeling for so long, don't your legs feel numb?Are there any human rights anymore. 】

Sansan pondered, then quietly said: 【You, an emperor, deserve to talk about human rights? 】

Xi Yue: [... What's wrong with the emperor!Don't discriminate against the emperor, okay? 】

Sansan was silent, and there was a bit of disgust in the silence.

After observing for a long time, Xi Yue suddenly regained his energy and asked Sansan: [What do you think the examinee is eating?How does he eat so deliciously. 】

Sansan hesitated and said: [... sesame seed cakes? 】

Xi Yue immediately recalled the crispy outside and tender inside of the biscuits, and the charming aroma when they were just baked, so he couldn't help swallowing.Just then, he felt something touch his hand under his sleeve.

Xiang Zhongshan stood at that position.Before Xi Yue withdrew his hand, Xiang Zhongshan stuffed a package of things into Xi Yue's hands under the cover of his sleeve.

The Empress Dowager stared intently at one side, as if she didn't notice the movement here.Xi Yue fumbled to remove a bit of the oil paper outside, felt it, and it seemed to be... sesame seed cakes?

Xi Yue's expression suddenly became very complicated.Sansan was very surprised, but thinking of Xi Yue's attitude, she held back her complaints.

The Empress Dowager didn't stay long and went back early.She was already too old, and she seemed to have fallen ill recently. She kept bending over and coughing, and the chief eunuch beside her kept patting her on the back gently.She seemed very weak.

Looking at her, she seemed to be just an ordinary old man with many illnesses.She seemed to be in her dying years, so it was not difficult to understand why her power began to split internally, and why many of her subordinates fell to the Regent.

The empress dowager has always avoided the little emperor's daily greetings, so Xi Yue can only see her at court meetings and the like.She also looks like a thin old lady, wrapped in a Chinese dress. Although she is indeed very imposing and her eyes are sharp, it is still hard to imagine just looking at people. It is such a person who has been supporting the beam.

However, she is indeed vigorous and resolute in her actions, with both determination and means. After Xi Yue watched this period of time, he couldn't help admiring her.

There were so many people in the hall, Xi Yue still didn't eat the sesame seed cakes in the end.Xiang Zhongshan saw it and thought about something, he seemed to be in a bad mood, but he didn't say anything.

After the palace examination, the examination papers of the tribute scholars will be reviewed by the examiners. Chen Liben is still the chief examiner, and he led these people to write the examination questions.The examiner will first synthesize the opinions of several people and give a ranking, and the emperor will then select the first and second best among the best, and rank the top ten.

Xi Yue originally thought that the Empress Dowager would go through the motions and let him go when the ranking was determined, but she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would go directly by herself, and she didn't pass him at all.

Fortunately, Wei Shenmo finally made the second place in the list, second only to Xiang's children, which is a very good result.Xi Yue guessed that Wei Shenmo's results in the imperial examination were very good, and one of the judges who gave the results was Chen Liben, and the Empress Dowager had to give him some face.

Xi Yue was once again invited out as a mascot during the ceremony of passing on Lulu.This time Jinshi will pay respects to the emperor one by one, Xi Yue finally met Wei Shenmo.

Wei Shenmo got up after knelt down, and seemed to be taken aback when he saw Xi Yue, his small eyes were full of big doubts, which made Xi Yue amused.

Sansan: 【You said at this time, would he be thinking about your famous name in his heart? 】

Xi Yue: 【Don't do this, I've had a hard time holding back my laughter. 】

Sansan: 【Shocked!When the emperor was disqualified in public?Subtitle, Two or three things that have to be said between the emperor and the second place. 】

The corners of Xi Yue's mouth were tightly pursed, and he looked ahead with a solemn and solemn expression.

Wei Shenmo was astute, seeing Xi Yue's expression, he quickly put away his previous surprise, kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and pretended nothing happened.However, he didn't know if it was Xi Yue's illusion, but he always felt that the Empress Dowager paid special attention to Wei Shenmo and talked to him a lot.

These small actions by Xi Yue, the regent only has Xiang Zhongshan's eyes and ears outside the palace, so he may not know about them, but what about the empress dowager?Does she really know nothing?

Xi Yue was a little puzzled, but he got the answer soon after.

A group of young eunuchs were newly transferred to Xi Yue's Ziwei Palace, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager sent him a set of clothes.

The style of the clothes is very normal and in line with the rules, and there is no problem with the size.However, Xi Yue tried it and found that the neckline was so tight that he couldn't fasten the buttons at all.

Xi Yue always felt that this dress had some deep meaning.Now that he was guarded even more closely, he couldn't pass the news on to Chen Liben during class, so he pondered for two days.

One night, Xi Yue asked Liang Ye how the first emperor died.That is, the empress dowager's own son who died a few years before she was in power.

Liang Ye said: "The first emperor died of a serious illness, so he died just like that. It is said that he died because a mouthful of phlegm got stuck and suffocated."

After hearing this, Xi Yue was silent for a long time.If you choked, did you really suffocate because you were sick?
