Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

When Steward Liu got up in the morning, he happened to meet Xiao Beicheng coming out of the study. Seeing his uncluttered and well-dressed appearance, he knew that he had slept in the study all night.

Xiao Beicheng likes to read ancient military books, and he often stays up all night in his study on weekdays, so Steward Liu is not surprised. It was only later that I realized that yesterday must have been an unusual night.

"My lord, didn't you make up your mind to leave Dali Temple alone?"

"After all, it's my own family. It's not good to really let it go. If even the king doesn't care about him, who in this capital will care about the life and death of Junziyou and Dali Temple?"

Butler Liu didn't know whether the Dali Temple was important or not. He only knew that in King Jin's heart, the bastard surnamed Jun was really important.

Knowing his uncompromising temperament, persuasion will not help, so Steward Liu simply saved his tongue, went into the study to find out, and saw the gentleman on the soft couch who was still huddled in the blanket on a hot day, sleeping motionlessly tour.

Yo, dare you change your mind only after sleeping.

But Butler Liu didn't have the intention to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, he went forward to poke Jun Ziyou's back with a cold snort, the man stretched out a foot from under the quilt and kicked him.

Butler Liu thought it was interesting, so he poked it again, this time Jun Ziyou was not happy, and opened his sleepy eyes with a whimper.

"What are you doing……"

"What am I doing? You can't play well with Yu Xiaozhu, and you insist on sleeping in the prince's study. What are your plans?"

"It's almost like he has plans for me..." Jun Ziyou yawned while talking, thinking of the reason why he appeared here last night, he hurriedly grabbed Steward Liu, "By the way, I have something to ask."

"You don't need to ask. I don't go out of the gate of the mansion all day long. I don't know anything about the outside world. If you have any questions, you might as well go out and inquire about the news from the common people. It's better to rely on people than me. Spectrum."

As he spoke, Steward Liu straightened Junziyou's wobbly body, brushed his long hair and tied it into a ponytail.

"I heard that the emperor punished the Ministry of Punishment yesterday, but rewarded Dali Temple. I am afraid that the threshold of Dali Temple will be broken by people today. You should go there earlier. Don't let Jiang Sizheng stand alone, he can't handle it. of."

"If you can't handle it, then don't handle it. I have never had a good impression of those sloppy grass. Even without them holding me like stars and moons, I would still be happy. But you said you were rewarded, which reminded me , there is indeed another place to go today.”

After hastily washing and dressing, Jun Ziyou went out, and without taking a bite of food, he bought a meat-stuffed sesame seed cake at the street corner, held it in his mouth and went straight to Dali Temple.

When he was almost finished eating, he arrived at the place. Jiang Linyuan was marking a wooden beam with an ink line. Seeing him coming, he left his work and greeted him.

"I will pay my respects..."

"Bah! Don't fix these stupid things for me, pack up and change clothes, and go somewhere with me."

He was mysterious and didn't say it clearly, Jiang Linyuan couldn't ask carefully, so he had to prepare according to his wishes.

When he followed him to the place, the latter found out that it was a dilapidated thatched hut with most of the grass roof blown away, making it a beautiful view in the open air.

Jun Ziyou knocked on the door, Jiang Linyuan thought it was him playing tricks, but seeing the seriousness of the man, he couldn't say anything more.

After waiting outside for a while, Jun Ziyou stopped knocking, carefully pushed open the loose wooden door, poked his head in and looked inside, and got in as if he had found a treasure.

Jiang Linyuan was puzzled and followed up to have a look, and saw a simple wooden bed lying on the side of the dilapidated thatched hut, and there was a person lying on it.

...the living.

But with such half-dead virtue, I'm afraid he can't be regarded as a good person.

This person was sallow and thin, as thin as a stick, and his dirty face could not be seen from the original appearance. He only felt that he should be in his prime, but he was tortured by old diseases like an old man.

Jun Ziyou touched someone cautiously, the patient groaned and opened his eyes with a groan, very surprised.

The gentleman said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you from here, I won't hurt you, can you see me?"

Jiang Linyuan was also surprised when he noticed that he used a respectful speech.

Could it be that this person is someone he is familiar with and respects?It shouldn't be, he has only been in the capital for half a year, and the only people he can get in touch with are the officials in the palace and the court. If he says that he knows anyone else, Jiang Linyuan will not believe it.

The patient didn't respond for a long time, Jun Ziyou thought he had acquiesced to his request, looked back at Jiang Linyuan who was full of doubts, and said: "You should know him too, come and pay a visit, this is Dali Temple Minister, Si Master Ye."

"Master of Dali Temple? That's the one..."

"Our immediate boss, you must know that in the early days, Dali Temple handled cases as it pleased and was not restrained. In the era when Lord Si was prosperous, Dali Temple was only loyal to the late emperor. Now that he has been murdered by others, it is difficult to maintain the imperial power, so That's why we exist."

"what do you mean……"

"If Dali Temple exists only for difficult and miscellaneous cases, it can be banned by Shuntian Mansion at any time. There are many ways to achieve justice, why choose the most labor-intensive and least effective way?"

At this time, Jiang Linyuan knew that Junziyou was planning a dangerous plan, including the evidence sachet obtained from the concubine, which was just a part of his grand plan.

If the harem poisoning case was just Jun Ziyou's revenge on Ye Lanchen, then Si Ye's reappearance was his first demonstration.

Because of being punished by the emperor for "inaction" for half a month, Ye Lanchen hated Junziyou to the bone. Since he was a meritorious official rewarded by the emperor himself, he couldn't say much, so he could only watch the Dali Temple grow worse After resuming his original post, even the officials who flattered him in the past began to send gifts to Dali Temple. He always felt uncomfortable watching him.

But Junziyou is a shrewd person, so naturally he would not accept these scourges, and sent them all back intact.

The officials felt that the wind was not in the right direction, so they didn't dare to say anything rashly, so they transferred the things and sent them to Ye's mansion. Unexpectedly, the flattery was slapped on the horse's hooves, which caused Ye Lanchen to be furious, and made the gang of people on the wall feel furious. Outsiders are not people.

"The things that Junziyou doesn't want are sent to me. What do you think of my Ye Mansion as a vegetable market that allows you to come and go as you please!!"

This matter has indeed become a knot in Ye Lanchen's heart, and it is difficult to sleep and eat because of this. In just a few days, a few strands of silver have grown on his temples, and he was caught by the sharp-eyed Qin Nangui when he was in Ding'anhoufu. Seeing it, she also taunted him: "You're actually turning gray because of such a trivial matter, Lan Chen, you haven't turned thirty yet."

"My lord, it's true that I underestimated this guy. I heard that he has taken Si Ye back to Dali Temple to resettle him. This is a naked provocation."

"How about the provocation, don't you still have to bear it? She is now favored by the emperor, and you are an abandoned concubine, so don't even think about being disgusted in front of the emperor."

"Your Majesty means..."

Qin Nangui stroked his white hairs, and pulled them out unexpectedly. Ye Lanchen gritted his teeth in pain. Looking at the ends of the hairs, there were some blood stains. It seemed that he was really merciless.

"Lan Chen, don't you have a lot of unsolved cases in the criminal department? Since he has become such a young bird, give him a chance to show himself well. Ben Hou heard that recently, is there a general who has jumped so much? ah?"

After a few points, Ye Lanchen understood, knowing that the Hou Fu was going to make a dangerous move this time, so he was unavoidably worried.

"But Lord Hou, don't be comprehensive. This is a loss-making business that hurts the enemy by one thousand and self-damages eight hundred, and it may lose everything..."

"Don't forget we still have a pawn in our hands."

Qin Nangui was playing with a chess piece made of obsidian, held it up to the light, and was very satisfied with its black and opaque color. It suddenly landed on the chessboard, and with a crisp sound, it hit Tianyuan.

"It's a good chess game that exploits a gentleman's weakness. If it wasn't for restraining King Jin, a vicious watchdog, this Marquis wouldn't be able to take that little waste under his command. It's useless to be a scholar... the most important thing in this Marquis' life... It's the literati who bother you."

Thinking of the current situation, there are only a handful of days when the Dali Temple is willing to serve the prison department. Ye Lanchen understands that if he doesn't seize the opportunity to suppress Junziyou's arrogance, he may ride on his head and run wild in a short time. .

He understood Qin Nangui's meaning, and immediately set about arranging people to do things. When he left Ding'anhou's mansion, he happened to meet someone.

This man is over sixty years old, but his waist is not bent, and he has a crisp and sharp military demeanor in his gestures and gestures. He is the most influential old man in Ding'anhou's mansion, Qin Yuyu.

Ye Lanchen hastily bowed his head to salute, fearing that he would be slighted, "The next official pays homage to Lord Hou. If the etiquette is not proper, please also invite Lord Hou to be gracious."

"Isn't this Mr. Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice? It's been a long time since I saw you, and I've seen a lot of vicissitudes, but what's bothering you?"

"Lord Hou is concerned. The lower officials are only worried about trivial matters, which are not worth mentioning. Thank you Lord Hou for your concern."

"Trivial matters? You are clearly worrying about the party."

Hearing the old Hou Ye's sneer tone, Ye Lanchen knew that he was very dissatisfied with his recent behavior.

It is well known that Marquis Ding'an's father and son disagree. As Qin Nangui's aide, he will inevitably contradict the old Marquis' ideas. Earlier, Qin Zhiyu had reprimanded him for only seeing the young Marquis and not the dignified court. The imperial seal of Marquis Ding'an gave him a big hat that he couldn't afford to wear.

Ye Lanchen could only lament to himself that it was not the right time to come, and he could only admit that he was wronged by the old Hou Ye who was not easy to provoke, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"What Master Hou taught me is that the lower officials don't know the seriousness, and I will definitely be careful in the future. Thank you Lord Hou for reminding me."

"Knowing that your actions are not serious or serious, when you want to do something, you should pay more attention to the proportion of your actions. Don't forget that you are an official of the court, not Qin Nangui's retainer."

He thought that the old Hou Ye would be done after a few lessons, but he would pinch Ye Lanchen's chin, making the latter feel an obvious murderous aura.

At the same time, he paused every word in his ear, and warned in a cold voice: "Remember, don't try to touch King Jin's people."
