Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"Li Ying? He comes here very frequently these days. He can't sit here for long, but he can spend a whole day in the palace thinking about going to the Palace of Compassion. Is his mouth bitter and hard to swallow?"

Emperor Yuan was obviously dissatisfied with Li Ying's actions, but he did not reprimand him face to face. It seemed that he was either too spoiled with Li Ying, or he was afraid of the Queen Mother.

On the other hand, Li Ying, as the prime minister of a country, is a foreign minister. Throughout the ages, the ruler most taboos the harem to interfere in politics. Even if the queen mother has reached the age of retirement, if she gets too close to the foreign ministers, it will inevitably cause people to gossip.

Jun Ziyou is so smart, Li Ying is in a high position at a young age and commands all officials, which is enough to see him capable, but this virtuous character may not match him for the time being.Seeing how Emperor Yuan dared to be angry with Eunuch Huan and dare not speak out, I am afraid that the queen mother is the real power in the harem and even the court.

"Your Majesty, during the Spring Festival, Li Xiang got up early and went to the palace to greet the Emperor and wish the New Year. It is also intentional. During the New Year's Day, it is not good to be harsh. Just remind him to pay more attention in the future. Li Xiang is a smart person and can understand. The meaning of the emperor."

After listening to Xiao Beicheng's advice, Emperor Yuan became less rigid, and ordered Eunuch Huan Yi to accompany Li Ying to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and specially passed on a message.

"It's cold and windy, and Mr. Xiang's body is not very strong. In the future, don't wander around when you go to court. If you accidentally get sick, you will have to lie down for several months to recover. The gain is not worth the loss."

It was clearly warning that person that if he didn't pay attention to his behavior, he might be dismissed from his post and think about it at home. If this "illness" got serious and he died, it would not only be an injury to the emperor, but also a loss to the court.

Gentleman Youxindao really accompanies you like a tiger, and what he says is so mysterious, if one day he doesn't understand the deep meaning in some adult's words, maybe he will lose his life inexplicably.

Eunuch Huanyi was ordered to go, and Emperor Yuan suddenly relaxed his body which had been stiff for a long time, leaning on the dragon chair with Erlang's legs raised was not comfortable enough, and wished to recline on it as a beauty couch.

"It's really suffocating me. The eyes of these bastards hang on me all day long, and they don't give me the slightest time to breathe. If it weren't for the fact that he and you have always been at odds, he would feel uncomfortable breathing under the same roof with you. I feel uncomfortable all over, and I will not dismiss him so easily."

Emperor Yuan hugged Xiao Hei, and the more he looked at it, the happier he was, he refused to let go after hugging him, and rubbed his face against the fur on its back.

Xiao Hei was so flattered that he jumped out of his arms in one step in fright, and shrank disheveledly behind Jun Ziyou, curled his tail and poked out a pair of blue eyes, looking timidly at Xiao Beicheng.

"I made the emperor laugh, my cat is a bit cynical, and has always disliked relatives."

It may also be that I have been out with the prince for a few days and learned badly.

Hearing what Junziyou said, Emperor Yuan stopped in frustration, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, I have always liked this black raccoon slave, it must have no hairs to look good, but the queen mother said black Cats are inauspicious, and their presence in the palace will bring disaster to the royal family. As the king of a country, I can’t even make decisions about a pleasing pet, let alone a concubine in the harem?"

Having said this, he finally sank his face, got up and walked off the throne, helped Jun Ziyou who had been kneeling for a long time, although there was a smile in his eyes, more helplessness.

"The matter of Qihuang, thank you for clearing her grievances and returning her justice and reputation."

"emperor……"

Emperor Yuan walked away with his hands behind his back, with his back to the two of them, hiding his expression at the moment in the dark.

"To tell you the truth, the first time I heard that Qihuang was killed, it was Ye Lanchen from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who thoroughly investigated the case. My heart was half cold. She was originally a slave in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and she also had the empress dowager. Rejecting my request to include her in the harem will ruin my reputation, and who will really investigate the cause of her death? Most of them are just people who want to see a joke."

Gentleman You dare not speak in vain, cast a look of help to Xiao Beicheng, the latter nodded in agreement, and he said: "It seems that the appearance of the grass-roots people is to relieve the emperor's worries."

"It can be said that when you pointed out in Shuntian Mansion's public trial that she was a poisonous woman who wanted to fly on a branch and turn into a phoenix, and even sacrificed her own sisters in order to have a young child in her womb, I really wanted to hang you on the tower to show the public. It's not that King Jin persuaded me to wait and see what happened, and there would be no later reversal of the case, but I can say that my mood is always ups and downs."

"...Cao Min thanked the emperor for not killing him."

"The one who saved you was not I, nor King Jin, but yourself. If you didn't have this ability, even if King Jin wanted to protect you, it would be useless. Fortunately, I resisted the impulse at the time, otherwise I really didn't have the opportunity to meet you... all kinds of talents .”

Hearing that he was holding back a smile, Jun Ziyou could only smile awkwardly.What I wrote is not popular, but even the emperor agreed after reading it, and Xiao Beicheng will not hurt him with such a corner in the future.

Emperor Yuan went straight to the point, and directly explained the reason for calling him into the palace today, "I appreciate your personality, your talents, and your abilities very much, so I intend to use you again."

Jun Ziyou was stunned and didn't dare to believe it, and he didn't dare to respond, Xiao Beicheng pressed his head, forcing him to salute and thank the emperor, and said: "You should remember, the emperor appreciates your character, talent, learning, and ability. As for being a human being, it comes first. Da Yuan is a prosperous country, full of talents, and you are not the only one who is talented and capable, but why you stand out and win the trust of the emperor, you have to think carefully about it."

Emperor Yuan looked at Xiao Beicheng with a smile, and said: "Those who know me are absolutely clear."

The name that I have never heard before is probably the name of King Jin.

But just now in front of Eunuch Huanyi, the emperor also called Beicheng, only in private he called Qingjue, maybe it was an unknown nickname of that person.

The gentleman thanked the saint for his grace, but after thanking him, Emperor Yuan remained silent.

He felt strange, so he looked up, and he was facing Emperor Shangyuan with a meaningful smile.

"I really want to reuse you, but I can't do it."

...This slapped expression, should it be the attitude of the emperor?

When the point was over, Emperor Yuan gave up, thinking that the two had stayed in the palace for too long, he found an excuse and sent them back. Before leaving, he still reluctantly hugged Xiao Hei, Xiao Beicheng had no choice but to hang out with the gentleman. They discussed to keep Xiao Hei in the palace for a few days, and then take him back after the emperor's freshness has passed.

The latter had no choice but to compromise.

To say that the emperor is really well-dressed, even if he treats an ignorant cat, he loves it so much that he specially asked the embroiderer in the palace to sew a scarf for it. It is inlaid with gold silk and jade. It looks like a royal cat. .

But I don't know if it's Xiao Hei's wild temper and dislike relatives, or some other reason, he ran back to Prince Jin's mansion that night, wasting Emperor Yuan's efforts, kicking the scarf around his neck with his hind legs, kicking straight down.

It was too noisy, disturbing people could not live in peace, Jun Ziyou had to untie it, but found a note hidden in the gap between the stitches, with only one word written on it: enter.

He sent the note to Xiao Beicheng to read, and recognized that it was handwritten by Yubi himself, and the latter asked him: "This meaningful word, do you know what it means?"

"It's all about entry, so of course it's the last..."

Xiao Beicheng picked up the pen and pressed the barrel of the pen against Junziyou's neck, pressing it against his Adam's apple, forcing him to hold back the obscene words.

"Cough...I mean, enter the court and become an official."

"Nowadays the Empress Dowager listens to the government behind the curtain, the foreign relatives monopolize the power, and the imperial power falls to the side. The emperor even hires a raccoon slave depending on the face of others. Many things are beyond his control. If he shows that he expects you, it won't be long before you will get into trouble and be violent." You died in the capital, and only in Prince Jin's mansion can you protect yourself."

"It can be seen that the prince is loyal to the emperor. Even if I want to take a shortcut to save some effort, I can't do it. I have to go to the imperial examination after Qingming."

When he went back, he deliberately picked out a few books with beautiful bindings in the study room, euphemistically titled: "Preparation for the exam."

Of course, these few books were just an excuse to cover up his shady behavior. He locked himself in Nongyu Xiaozhu all day long, and he didn't see how many books he read, but he wrote a lot.

He carefully kept those papers, and even Steward Liu, who came to sort them out, didn't even look at them, saying that he had prepared a lot of quatrains for the scientific examination, and if they leaked out, his dream of becoming an official would be ruined. It's over.

Steward Liu was not interested in what he wrote, and he couldn't bear the hat he put on, so he gave him a blank look and left, and never bothered his business again.

It didn't take long before the blood-stirring story books became popular again in the capital. Those who cherished "The Romance of the King of Jin" as a treasure finally waited for the sequel, and bought "Those Things on the Bed of the King of Jin" in the early spring. "Things", for a while, the students didn't want to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, but buried their heads in the book, looking for Yan Ruyu and the golden house.

Xiao Beicheng got the new book from Shenci, and after only flipping through a few pages, his face turned ashen-blue. Without a word, he came to Nongyu Xiaozhu, and picked out the prodigal who didn't read sage books by his ears.

"Look at what kind of filthy things you wrote. You dare to make up such a plot as hanging upside down. Junziyou, don't you want to live?"

"Oh, oh, hello, my lord, you really misunderstood me. I am clearing the way for myself. Why don't you understand?"

Xiao Beicheng smiled angrily, grabbed Junziyou by the collar, with an angry look that wanted to swallow him alive, "Then I want to hear your difficulties and secrets, make it up, can't you make it up?" Come out and kill you today!"

"This... It's not that the opponents are obsessed with sex. It's good that they can't read the way of Confucius and Mencius like me. Everyone has become the same prostitute. Who is better than the other... Hiss! My lord, it hurts..."

"You are crying out for your pain, but where are those people who are delusional and confused by you going to reason? They are all talents from my great abyss! You still have the face to cry for grievances if you harm them ?”

"Then, let me tell the truth. The emperor cannot see the author's name when reviewing the candidates' papers. Cheating is strictly prohibited in the examination room. I have to find a way for the emperor to recognize me at a glance."

"Oh? So what?"

"So, I wrote you a good poem."
