Chapter 25 Dreaming

The heavy rain fell, and the gurgling stream became turbulent and dangerous.

A flash of lightning flashed across, and between the lightning and thunder, the howling wind became even more arrogant, and mercilessly blew away the rain hat on his head.

Spots of rain soon splashed everywhere in the field of vision. Looking down, this body was wearing a shabby cloth shirt, completely soaked, and the two hands on the chest were tightly clutching something, vaguely It can be seen in vain, with lush green dotted on it.

The bamboo hat was blown away, and the pace of wading across the river accelerated, and the calf exposed by the rolled-up trousers was flushed red by the cold water.

After wading across the river, he finally walked to the wooden bridge. He had just taken two steps with bare feet when a pair of vermilion silk cloud silk boots appeared in his sight.

"From two, wake up, wake up!"

Xiao Lianzi opened his eyes, Xue Jing was full of worry, and called him tenderly.

"The emperor... what's wrong?"

Seeing that he woke up, Xue Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "You are having a nightmare, and your head is covered with sweat!"

Xiao Lianzi was about to touch his forehead, Xue Jing stopped him, and took a brocade handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from Xiao Lianzi's head: "What dream did you have, so scared?"

The emperor wiped his sweat, which made Xiao Lianzi at a loss, and he didn't say a few words.

"Don't worry, speak slowly!" Xue Jing said with a smile.

After a while, Xiao Lianzi had completely forgotten what happened in the dream just now, but he woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a little hungry.

His stomach rumbled twice, which was as clear as a rooster crowing in the quiet inner hall. Xiao Lianzi buried his head in the quilt in embarrassment, amusing Xue Jing.

"What do you want to eat? I'll ask the Imperial Dining Room to make it for you."

Xiao Lianzi thought for a while and said, "Scallion steamed buns."

Xue Jing was stunned.

"Why do you suddenly want to eat this?" Xue Jing asked nervously.

Why do you want to eat this?He also forgot, just for a moment, this thing came to mind.

"Your Majesty, the slave will stop eating, and it's time for breakfast."

Xue Jing didn't say a word, he was still shocked by the words scallion steamed buns. For a while, he stared at Xiao Lianzi, his throat was dry, and he said three words without beginning and end: "Fengxi Village."

Xiao Lianzi asked suspiciously, "What village?"

no......

Xue Jing didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed. Fengxi Village was the last place where he and Cong Er lived in his previous life. They lived there for nearly ten years. The moment he heard the word 'scallion steamed buns', he almost He thought that Xiao Lianzi was reborn like himself, but it turned out that he was overthinking.

Xiao Lianzi was covered with a quilt, and soon fell asleep again. Xue Jing pulled the quilt for him to expose his mouth and nose so that he could breathe.

This fair, tender and young face was somewhat different from Cong Er's face in his memory. Cong Er had been begging outside and working in the fields all year round, and his face was covered with traces of wind and frost.

He treated Cong Er so badly in his last life. If Cong Er was born again, he really didn't know how to face him.

However, Xue Jing felt heartbroken again, no matter how he tried to make up for this life, the last life would be a disappointment after all.

Xue Jing thought about the things that he had put aside for the time being. Since he knew the nature of water, why did he drown and die?

Thinking about it, I can't make sense, I can't figure it out.

Finally a sleepless night.

The streets of the capital are full of people, and the cars and horses are like dragons.

The eight-carrying sedan chair that came out of West Street headed towards the imperial palace, and when they reached Jingcheng Street, a young man with the appearance of a scholar rushed out of the crowd.

"I beg the prime minister to avenge the grassroots!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was noisy and chattering.

The sedan chair stopped, and the accompanying guards showed their strength and were about to drive the scholar away when the people in the sedan chair spoke.

"Iron punishment, stop."

The cold voice quieted the surroundings, the car curtain was lifted, and the scholars on the ground were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Prime Minister Zuo to be so young.

"What are you complaining about?"

The scholar came to his senses, holding the cloth letter, and knelt forward step by step: "Prime Minister Mingjian, Cao Min is Xu Lang, an examinee who went to the countryside in Guannan this year to participate in the Jinshi Section. Cao Min wants to sue Guo Wenhui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, here is the evidence! Cao Min Han Chuang studied hard for [-] years. He thought he could show his ambition and serve the imperial court, but the snakes and rats make chaos and the scientific examinations are unfair. I beg the Prime Minister to make decisions for the common people!"

The words express emotion and meaning, causing the people onlookers to be in an uproar.

Xu Lang held up the cloth letter and waited with difficulty.

"Get up the sedan chair."

Xu Lang was puzzled, and exclaimed: "Prime Minister Zuo, please make the decision for the grassroots!"

The person in the sedan chair paused for a moment, then said in a loud voice: "The Son of Heaven is not strong enough to fight against snakes and rats, so what's the use of finding the truth?"

After finishing speaking, he signaled the bearer next to him to put down the curtain of the sedan chair, and the sedan chair walked straight past Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, stared straight in the eyes, extremely disappointed.

In Gongzheng Hall, several important ministers of the court are present.

Zhang Jian came late, please apologize.

"As expected of the left prime minister, you let so many people wait for you alone." said Guo Wenhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhang Jian said respectfully to Xue Jing's position: "I met a test-taker who complained on the road, and I was delayed for a while."

The hall was silent.

The examinee who filed the complaint, what the complaint was, and why the complaint was made, all the old men present knew it well.

At this time, Guan Shaoweng said: "Since it is the complaint, Prime Minister Zuo has already interrogated him clearly, who is the sue and what is the sue?"

Zhang Jian shook his head: "It's just an ordinary person talking nonsense. He claimed to be Xu Lang, an exam candidate who went to the countryside from Guannan, and said that he wanted to sue Guo Wenhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, alluding to the unfairness of the exam."

"Hmph, it's really nonsense. If such unsubstantiated and baseless rumors are spread, what is the majesty and reputation of the lower officials!" Guo Wenhui said angrily.

"Since it's nonsense, it's okay to give me a warning, and if you don't listen, it's not too much to insult and frame the court officials, put you in prison, or kill you!" Guo Wenhui snorted.

"There are other important matters today, don't waste your time talking about irrelevant things!" After Guan Shaoweng finished speaking, all the officials in the hall nodded in agreement except Zhang Jian and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Mao Yanheng.

"My Majesty, here is the list of candidates for the imperial examination. Please take a look at it." Guo Wenhui handed over the list.

Xue Jing, who had been sitting upright on top, took a sip of the excellent Yuqian Longjing with a smile on his lips.

"Loves, now that I think about it, there is another me in the room!"

"The minister is terrified." Several ministers were startled and said in unison.

Xue Jing put down his teacup, but he still didn't take the roster from Guo Wenhui's hand.

Guo Wenhui, who was holding the roster, was a little flustered.

What's wrong, Your Majesty?They have always talked like this, why did the emperor have an opinion today!

"Are you tired from lifting?" Xue Jing asked, without looking at Guo Wenhui.

"If you go back to the emperor, the humble minister will not be tired." Guo Wenhui's arms were sore, and she complained in her heart. I don't know what kind of wind the emperor has had today. Could it be that he wanted to try the emperor's prestige on a whim?

Thinking of this, Guo Wenhui looked at Guan Shaoweng's reaction from the corner of his eye, only to see Guan Shaoweng lowered his head and composed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Aren't you tired, or don't dare!" Xue Jing's voice suddenly became extremely dignified.

There was no sound in the hall, and it was Guan Shaoweng who spoke first: "Your Majesty, let's look at the roster first, and decide on the official position."

After a while, Xue Jing took over the roster, and Guo Wenhui felt relieved, thinking to herself, what kind of prestige is she playing?

Xue Jing flipped through it twice, and said with a smile: "Since the right minister has already decided on the position, let's follow the right minister's appointment!"

Zhang Jian's heart at the bottom sank to the bottom, he laughed at himself for having hoped for the emperor just because of the emperor's behavior of making things difficult for Guo Wenhui. Didn't he see clearly such an emperor who has no opinion?

Guan Shaoweng regained his smile: "I obey the order."

Xue Jing said again: "I have been in good health recently, so I decided to go to Ganguang Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and take a rest for a few days along the way."

Mao Yanheng immediately said: "I will start to deal with this matter immediately..."

Xue Jing stopped him: "No need, I am going here because of the virtue of God, to protect me that I can successfully resist the evil spirits, and I will be safe and sound. Don't mobilize the crowd, lest the Buddha blame me."

Mao Yanheng said: "I obey the order!"

Xue Jing went on to say: "By the way, according to what Master Zhijue said, within two years, I will not be able to get close to women, so I will temporarily put aside the matter of choosing a concubine! That's enough, let's all step down!"

"Zhang Jian stays."

Zhang Jian's leaving footsteps stopped, when he was leaving, Guan Shaoweng looked at Zhang Jian, and saw suspicion in Zhang Jian's eyes, probably he didn't know why the emperor told him to stay.

Walking outside the hall, there was a little eunuch shaking his head standing at the door. He had waited for a long time and fell asleep leaning against the door.

"Bold! Where is Gongzheng Palace, how dare you be rude here!" Guan Shaoweng ordered, "Come here, drag him down!"

After waiting for a long time, Habayashi guard at the door did not move.

"Presumptuous, didn't you hear the order from the Right Prime Minister?" The official beside Guan Shaoweng pretended to be a tiger and said, pointing at Habayashi Wei.

The leading officer said in embarrassment: "If you go back to the right minister, it's not that the subordinates disobeyed your order, it's that the subordinates have no right to arrest Eunuch Lian!"

"What is Lian Gonggong, a slave will make you lose your soul and lose your courage!" Guan Shaoweng scolded.

"My lord right minister, Eunuch Lian is the noble star of the Liuyi rat!"

"What!" The ministers were all shocked when they heard this.

No one knows that Liuyishu Guixing is now the emperor's lucky star, whoever takes him will kill the emperor.

He is a majestic prime minister, but he can't take a slave. If it weren't for the time to move the emperor, he would drag this slave out to five horses!

Guan Shaoweng's face turned pale and pale, he put his hands behind his back, groaned, and walked down the steps quickly.

After he left, Zhou Zao tremblingly pushed Xiao Lianzi.

The sweet dream was in full swing, Xiao Lianzi was woken up dissatisfied, and after seeing everything around him clearly, he realized that he had dozed off again while on duty, so he slapped himself twice to wake himself up.

"You almost died just now!" Zhou Zao said in a panic, "You were dozed off and the right minister saw you!"

"Ah!" Xiao Lianzi's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and tears came out of his eyes.

It's over, Prime Minister You is so fierce, so is he going to die?But he didn't do it on purpose, he had that strange dream last night, he really didn't sleep well...

"Fortunately, you are Liuyishu Quaker, the Prime Minister let you go." Zhou Zao said again.

Xiao Lianzi held back his tears.

Zhou Zao, next time, can we finish the conversation at once...

I will be scared to death.....
