There's A Beauty

Emperor Xuanguang stopped Youshu, who was almost kneeling on the ground, and asked knowingly, "Mr. Zhao, what is the purpose of this meeting?"

Youshu replied respectfully, "I would like to report to the emperor, I heard that you want to set up an inspection department to investigate the corruption case of the household department, so I came here to ask for your order."

A minister frowned when he heard this, "Mr. Zhao, please be cautious when speaking. The matter of the household department needs to be investigated. How can you directly convict of corruption?"

From the Shangshu to the yamen servants in the household department, they have all been imprisoned in the sky prison, and none of the hundreds of people in total have been spared.If there were no conclusive evidence, how could the master who has always been lenient and strict be exterminated?These people still excuse the criminals, how on earth did they become officials of the imperial court?Are they loyal to the aristocratic family or the master?Youshu was aggrieved in her heart, so she ignored his questioning and just looked up with bright black eyes.

Emperor Xuanguang was warmed by his sight, took a sip from the teacup slowly to relieve his dry mouth, and then said in a deep voice, "Before I opened my mouth, Master Sun took the lead in teaching others. Your Excellency’s official office, or my Qianqing Palace?”

The minister was startled, kowtowed his head to plead guilty, and said that the humble minister deserved to die for his arrogance.Emperor Xuanguang neither shouted nor responded, and beckoned Youshu to come closer, and said in a gentle voice, "I have always heard that Zhao Lang is like a god in arranging cases and is good at managing politics, but I have never heard that you are also proficient in accounting. You must know that the most important task of thoroughly investigating the corruption case of the Ministry of Household Affairs is to sort out the accounts. Therefore, the officials recommended by all the ministers are the best accountants among the various ministries."

At this point, he changed the subject and said bluntly, "Taking this job is tantamount to going against nine out of ten dignitaries in the court. Even I have to withstand tremendous pressure, let alone my subordinates? The people who enter the Judiciary , or being threatened, or being bribed, or being framed, or even being assassinated, all kinds of accidents are possible. Mr. Zhao, you need to consider three points clearly: first, whether you have the ability to participate in this case; Second, do you have the courage to participate in this case; third, you may be able to bear the consequences? If you are still in doubt, I suggest you leave the palace immediately and make a decision after careful consideration."

Although he is capable of protecting Youshu, he doesn't want to watch him jump into the fire pit.Furthermore, he also wanted to see how deep his feelings for him were and what step he could take.He never believed in the so-called "love at first sight", but he couldn't be sure about this stubborn donkey like Youshu.He is not a person who speaks freely, let alone act on impulse.

Without even thinking about it, Youshu said, "I would like to report to the emperor, since I dare to enter the palace to ask for orders, I will naturally dare to bear the consequences. Didn't you prepare many coffins for the emperor? You can prepare one for my minister, my minister Willing to die for the emperor!"

Oh, what a tough temper!Au Tai and the others couldn't help but look sideways, but saw him take a step forward, and said firmly, "As for whether the humble minister has that ability, the emperor just needs to test it. Together with the actuary, the humble minister ranks second in Dayong. Surely no one dares to be number one." Youshu has always been extremely confident about her IQ, even to the point of pride.

Whoa, what a breath!The ministers became more and more surprised, and several of the recommended officials showed dissatisfaction.They are also experts in various departments, and they can manage even complicated accounts in an orderly manner, so they are quite reused.However, Zhao Langzhong's words stomped all of them down, how could they be willing?

Emperor Xuanguang pressed his fist to his lips to prevent himself from laughing out loud.Youshu is still the same, she doesn't understand interpersonal communication, let alone the way of being an official, what to say, she doesn't understand how much hatred she has invisibly drawn.However, it is precisely because of this that he is special.Moreover, now he holds his head up high, full of fighting spirit, like a peacock meeting his crush, stretching his feathers as much as possible, trying to show the best and best side.This look is extremely rare, but also very interesting.

Trying to suppress the smile that was about to well up in his throat, Emperor Xuanguang waved his hands and said, "Looks like Langzhong Zhao is quite confident in himself, so let me ask you a few questions to test you."

question?Is it too low to show your level?Youshu frowned, and said hastily, "Your Majesty doesn't need to ask questions, just bring in a bag of rice and a copper basin."

The few capable officials who planned to do the question together with him, so as to suppress his arrogance after getting the answer first, all showed puzzled expressions.Although Emperor Xuanguang was also very curious, he didn't ask too many questions and waved his hand at Wei Chen.Wei Chen made a trip in person, but took the necessary items to the hall in a short while.

Youshu gave her master a flattering smile, then walked over, grabbed a handful of rice at random, threw it into the copper basin, and explained, "Wei Chen is very talented, especially when it comes to counting. The answer. This handful of rice weighs eighty-two-seven cents, and there are 76 grains in total. If you don’t believe me, just count them and weigh them.”

This is the first time he has shown his terrifyingly accurate calculation ability, and he hopes that the master will look at him with admiration.Thinking of this, he looked at the person at the top with eager eyes, and six words were written in his dark and bright eyes-seeking praise and reuse.

Emperor Xuanguang tilted his head slightly to avoid the fatal gaze.Damn it, he almost put his palm on Youshu's head.Just now the peacock with its tail open, now it has become a puppy to please its owner. Why is he always so cute?

Everyone present didn't think Zhao Langzhong was cute, on the contrary they thought he was very deadly.Just grab a handful of rice and you can get the weight and quantity. How can there be such a god in the world?test!Be sure to check it out!If there is a slight difference, he will definitely be ridiculed and make him feel ashamed!

While all the capable officials were about to move, the emperor had already sent a message, ordering Wei Chen to check it.Wei Chen took the scale and weighed it repeatedly. It was indeed eight taels or seven cents. In the end, he bent down to count the rice grains. When he counted to about three hundred, he became dizzy and made frequent mistakes.

The ancients regarded the way of numerology as a side door, and there was little study. It is considered a great thing for ordinary people to count to one hundred. If it is further advanced, it needs to use sticks, beads and other objects to mark it. Known as a master, one who can put aside counting tools and skillfully use mental arithmetic is enough to look down on the world.

When Wei Chen counted to three hundred, he was already extremely capable, and he was not ashamed, but still showed a look of shame, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this slave is incompetent, please forgive me."

Emperor Xuanguang waved his hand, "It's okay, you divide the rice into one share, each count a small handful, and then add up the numbers."

This is a good idea.Everyone quickly took orders, each grabbed a handful, placed them on a plate and counted them.The hall, which was still silent, now echoed with the noisy counting sound: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Eh?No, count again, one, two, three, four... I can't use the abacus, and I don't have wooden sticks, beads and other tools. Everyone is miserable, and they want to make Zhao Langzhong look bad.

Emperor Xuanguang had never seen his ministers in such a state of distress, and he was quite amused.He stood up and went down to the hall to check back and forth. He looked serious, but he was secretly paying attention to Youshu.Youshu was used to the master's little tail, and when she saw him coming down, she immediately clung to it, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only circle around him.Now he finally understands why those kittens and puppies always like to dawdle against their master's legs, because only in this way can the longing for a day's absence be relieved.

And he didn't see his master for more than a day?Thinking of it, it seems like we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years.His eyes were wide open, hot and bright. From time to time, he secretly glanced at the side of the master's face, and when he focused his attention on others, he leaned over cautiously, pretending to touch his arm inadvertently, rubbing against his thigh, Or stealthily tugging at the hem of his clothes, and then quickly let go.

Emperor Xuanguang has a strong spiritual sense, so how can he not know what Youshu is doing?Saying that he is like a puppy, he has really learned that sticky personality ten-tenths, but he dare not reveal it, instead he goes around and hides it, rubbing here and touching there, really pretending that he doesn't have it. Do you feel it?

Seeing him secretly stretching out his fingertips to lift the bright yellow silk sash on his dragon pendant, the intoxicated appearance seemed to be touching his own skin, Emperor Xuanguang almost laughed out loud.He never knew that the upright and selfless county magistrate Xiao Zhao, who had always been beautiful and bright, had such a side that... could not be described in words.

If Emperor Xuanguang came from modern times, he would probably replace the words "difficult to explain" with "idiot".Youshu's IQ is off the charts, but her EQ is negative. It's really hard for him to pursue someone.

One of the two went around the hall to check, and the other followed closely, both of them enjoyed it.Two quarters of an hour later, everyone counted the rice grains one after another, and then got their abacus to add up, but they came up with 78 grains, two grains more than Zhao Langzhong's answer.

Several capable officials showed sarcasm, but Youshu was still there, pointing at one of them and saying, "You lost two grains."

"Wei Chen, help him count again." Emperor Xuanguang believed in Youshu, and the rest of the people gathered around and counted silently, and after half a quarter of an hour they got the answer, and it turned out that there were two more pills.

The man immediately knelt down to plead guilty, and everyone showed a look of shock and indescribability.Grab a handful of rice and throw it into a copper basin, and you can accurately calculate the weight and quantity. Is it not just a person's calculation ability that is tested?There are eyesight, eyesight, hearing, touch.In other words, Zhao Langzhong's comprehensive ability has already far exceeded the range that ordinary people can imagine.

When he said that he was talented, he really wasn't boasting!Take it, take it completely!

Seeing the expressions of admiration on everyone's face, Youshu looked straight at the master, and the faint dimples on his cheeks spoke of his inner excitement.This time, the master should look at him with admiration and reuse him, right?

Emperor Xuanguang endured and endured so that he didn't let himself show any expression other than serious and cold.He walked back to the head and sat down, praised, "Mr. Zhao is indeed a great talent. From today onwards, I will appoint you as the deputy envoy of the procuratorate to cooperate with Outai in investigating the corruption case of the household department."

Youshu was overjoyed, and immediately bowed to accept the order, as if she had won some great job.Several other officials were also left to sort out the accounts with him.

Because Emperor Xuanguang had long planned to rectify the household department, he arrested all officials of the household department, big and small, in prison on the day when he issued the holy order. His thunderous tactics left them no time to even revise the account books and wipe out the criminal evidence.The account books kept by the household department over the years are now all piled up in the Qianqing Palace, occupying five or six side halls, and there are countless soldiers and generals arranged outside, which can be said to be heavily guarded and water can't get in.

Youshu reluctantly left Qianqing Palace and was taken to the side hall. The leader, Outai, whispered, "From today onwards, you will be doing business in Qianqing Palace. Keep your badges, otherwise these soldiers will not They will let you in, and they may kill you on the spot."

"How could it be so serious?" A certain official asked in fear.If you don't have a waist card, you can just drive people away, how can you kill people in the palace at will?Doesn't the emperor care?

"Look carefully." Outai warned in a deep voice, "This is the Tiger Army from the northwest border. They are the most brave and good at fighting. They only know how to carry out the emperor's orders, but they don't know how to distinguish right from wrong. Anyone who comes close to the side hall at will will be killed without the card, they will only recognize the card, not the person."

The northwest border is the emperor's vassal land.It turned out to be the emperor's personal soldier, no wonder he was so majestic and intimidating!Everyone nodded to express their understanding, but Youshu understood that there was another meaning in Outai's words.He had read the residence newspapers over the years, and remembered that a major event happened in the Northwest ten years ago.Because the Ministry of Households did not distribute military salaries and food for a long time, the Northwest Tiger Army was almost wiped out when fighting the enemy, and there was also a tragedy of eating the corpses of dead comrades to live.

Ten years is not enough to heal the wounds. Presumably, these soldiers' hatred for the corrupt officials of the household department has penetrated deep into their bones.Let them guard the account books, and the possibility of being bribed is very slim.What's more, when the master transferred them to the capital, he might have already made preparations to wipe out the household department and frighten all officials.

Youshu guessed right. After they left the main hall, Emperor Xuanguang called several officials from the Ministry of Punishments to amend the law, changing the eight words "corruption 600 and beheading" to "corruption 60 and beheading". beheading".In other words, if the household department randomly picked out the lowest-ranking yamen servant, it would have reached the standard of beheading.

It is conceivable that once this law is promulgated, what kind of turmoil it will cause, and the selected officials also have a vague premonition. After entering the side hall, their hands and feet are cold and their scalps are numb.Where are the account books piled up in the hall, there are reminders one after another, which may kill others, and more likely kill themselves.

Because of this, they sat down for a quarter of an hour, but they didn't see any movement, they just kept wiping their sweat with their sleeves.Outai didn't urge him, and took a sip from his teacup.He doesn't know how to check accounts, he just came to work as a supervisor, and by the way, take a good look at Zhao Langzhong, who is especially valued by the master.

Facts have proved that the master's vision is as accurate as ever.Zhao Langzhong is far beyond ordinary people in terms of talent and disposition.After he entered the side hall, he immediately found out the arrangement of all the accounts, and did not start until he remembered where the account books of each year, each region, and each department were placed.

He dragged the oldest box of account books to his desk, and said slowly, "Based on the 20 years of Yuanguang, I will check the old accounts from before, and you will check the new accounts after that. Mr. Qian is in charge of accounts related to territories, Mr. Sun Responsible for the accounts of the fields, Mr. Li is responsible for the accounts of household registration, Mr. Zhou is responsible for the accounts of taxes, and Mr. Wang is responsible for the accounts of salaries. It is not too late, let’s start now.” After the words, he seemed to think of something, and turned to Ou Tai looked at it, "Also, all the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs have been detained now. If they encounter relevant government affairs, will the emperor personally approve them? The emperor has a lot of time to deal with, how can he be so busy, why not let us handle it together?"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, Qi Qi looked at him, and thought that Mr. Zhao really had great ambitions, and he had chosen the position of Minister of the Household Department.

Ou Tai nodded and said, "The emperor has ordered in advance that Mr. Zhao can approve all matters in the household department by himself. If there are difficult matters to be judged, he will report to the imperial court."

Can you find a master if you have difficulty?Youshu thought about it for a while, and decided to make a few if there was no difficulty, but if she went too frequently, it would inevitably leave the impression of mediocrity and incompetence on the master, so she still needs to pay attention to skills.He frowned, feeling quite tricky about chasing someone, too eager to do it, too slow to do it, too explicit to do it, and too subtle to do it, it's an eternal problem!

Fortunately, his IQ was off the charts, even though he put all his thoughts on his master, he didn't delay his work.Bystanders saw him sketching on the account book with Zhu Zhu, but he had finished reading more than a dozen books in a quarter of an hour, and there was a clatter, followed by another clatter, and the calculation was over.

It was the first time for all the colleagues to see this weird and super-speed checking method, and they couldn't help feeling suspicious, but they didn't dare to ask rashly when they thought of his unparalleled counting ability.Outai had no worries, Shi Shiran walked over, "Mr. Zhao, have you read all these ledgers? Did you find any clues?"

"I put all the books with problems aside. So far, I haven't found any without problems." You Shu said bluntly.

Outai nodded, and was about to pick up a book to read, when the master dressed as King Yama appeared in the hall out of thin air.He hastily put down the account book, walked back to his original position, and pretended to take a sip from his teacup to hide his frightened expression.

Youshu took a short breath, and then showed a surprised and happy expression.Since the last conversation, this person has never visited again, which made him really flustered for a long time.

"You're finally here." He used his mental power to transmit the voice, and there was a grievance in his tone that he didn't even realize.

"What? Miss me?" King Yan Luo sat down beside him, and leaned closer to look at the account book in his hand.

Youshu's cheeks were flushed, her expression was tangled, but she couldn't lie, and it took a few breaths before she said in a voice like a gnat, "A little bit." The hands that kept turning the account book slowed down habitually, so that the other party could see clearly.

"Something?" Yan Luowang teased viciously.

Youshu lowered her head to check the accounts, and stopped gnawing, her ears, cheeks, and neck all blushed a lot.Yama put his hands under his armpit, scratched it lightly, and continued to ask, "What's the matter?"

Youshu threw herself on the table like a twisted candy, biting her lower lip tightly with her teeth, so as not to laugh out loud, but because she was really ticklish, she couldn't help making moaning noises.King Yan Luo saw his blushing cheeks, watery eyes, and constant chanting, as if he had been taken in. He stared at him tightly, and his body reacted quickly.Not only did he not let go of the man, but instead he hugged him and groped him up and down, biting his ears and asking one after another, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, or I will scratch you all day today."

Zhao Langzhong, who had a serious face just now, was rolling and moaning in his seat. Everyone thought he had an emergency, but after a closer look, they found that his expression was very...very cheerful, and they were all stunned for a while.

Only Outai knew what was going on, so he covered his face with his sleeves and dared not look around.Never expected that the master with a firm heart and terrifying methods would act like this in front of Zhao Langzhong.Let's just play around, and he is openly in heat, except for Zhao Langzhong who is hugged by him from behind, probably only I can see the huge bulge of his lower abdomen.Is this the reality of being a disciple in the name of playing?Just now he acted so serious and rigid in the main hall, but in a blink of an eye he changed his identity and came to tease him, so he is not afraid of capsized in the future.

Ou Tai was secretly worried about his master, hearing Zhao Langzhong's more and more seductive groans, he hurriedly escaped.

You Shu held back her laughter and almost died, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't scratch me, I, I admit that I miss you a little."

"Just a little?" Yan Luo Wang took off one of his boots, and gently scratched the white and delicate soles of his feet.With the help of the tablecloth, no one can see the scene where the boots fall off automatically.

Youshu gave up and said frankly, "It's not a little, it's a lot. Is this done?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had missed this person so deeply.He still likes his master, but he can't let go of the other person, as if it naturally let him go deep in his heart, it's hard to quit, it's hard to erase.

Could it be that he is really a half-hearted scumbag?Youshu grabbed her hair, her expression confused and annoyed.

King Yan Luo saw him like this, and quickly changed the subject, "Forget it, I will let you go today. I heard that Emperor Xuanguang is going to rectify the household department. You have been selected? Do you know what the outside world calls the inspector?" Smoothing the skirt of the clothes, combing the hair, but the hands under the table were reluctant to let go of the slender ankles and slender jade feet.

Because of his subtle movements, other people felt that Zhao Langzhong's clothes and hair straightened automatically after he sat upright, but they didn't think it was strange, and saw that his face was rosy, and he didn't seem to be sick, so they stopped thinking about calling the imperial doctor.The mighty tiger army outside was astonishing, and it really took a lot of courage to walk back and forth under their gaze.

Sure enough, Youshu didn't think about whether she was a scumbag anymore, and asked curiously, "What do the outside world call the inspector?"

"The gate of hell. Entering here is equivalent to stepping half a foot into the coffin. Knowing the nobles outside, how many people want to kill you, and then burn these account books with fire? Not eight or nine out of ten, but [-]% Ten. You, as well as Emperor Xuanguang, are enemies of the entire imperial court."

Youshu said "Oh", indicating that she knew, and her face never showed any fear.

"For Emperor Xuanguang, are you really not afraid of death?" King Yan Luo said in a slightly sour tone.

Ou Tai waited for his master to have enough fun before walking in, happened to hear this sentence in his ears, covered his face and slandered: Emperor Xuanguang, King Yama, are you alone?What kind of vinegar are you eating?

Youshu said frankly, "The reason why I am not afraid is firstly because I am willing to sacrifice everything for my master, and secondly because I believe in you. You will protect me, I know."

"Then do you think it's unfair to this king? You go through fire and water for another person, but you want this king to give everything for you. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

Youshu was stunned for a long time, then raised her arm and wanted to slap herself hard, but the dumbfounded Yan Luo Wang grabbed her wrist, and said helplessly, "I am teasing you. You are my friend. I will protect you well, and I believe you feel the same way. When the king comes to Japan, he will ask you, so don't refuse."

Youshu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed, but she never dared to think about whether she loved both of them.His emotional intelligence is not enough, and he feels like his head is about to explode.

Seeing Langzhong Zhao writhing and moaning, and then raising his hand to slap his own cheeks, everyone sighed in their hearts: No wonder Langzhong Zhao ran into the palace to beg for his life without fear of death, he turned out to be crazy.Only Outai laughed secretly and got hurt internally, but was worried about being silenced by his master, so he had to sit far away.
