"Uncle, what happened to your feet?" Yin Yuanting asked very curiously.

Yin Shengle let out a soft "hiss", and flicked his toes: "I walked too fast, I kicked the threshold."

"Oh." Yin Yuanting nodded and asked again, "Why didn't the Grand Tutor come back?"

"Your Taifu just went out and caught the wind and caught a cold. I told him to go back to rest today and come back tomorrow."

Yin Huaiyu glanced at the bright and brilliant sky outside the window, squeezed her thin sleeves, and said nothing.

Yin Yuanting, on the other hand, seemed to believe it completely. He imitated the expression of adults and sighed: "It would be great if Fu Bao was older, so that I can go out of the palace to visit the Grand Tutor."

Yin Shengle rubbed his little head: "After a while, uncle will take you there personally."

After telling the two children about Shen Hui going home to rest, Yin Shengle counted the time and asked Chen Ping, "Is Dali Temple free now?"

Chen Ping: "I heard that His Royal Highness An Guo has been busy with a theft case recently, and I don't have any clue yet."

"That's it." Yin Shengle thought for a while, "I want to meet Manager Meng sometime, I have something to ask him, you go down and make arrangements."

"Yes." Chen Ping didn't ask much, but he remembered one more thing. Seeing that Yin Shengle had nothing else to say, he said again, "Your Majesty, there is some news from the servant's godson, Xiaoshun... ...That's right, ever since Mr. Shen moved into Laolishu Alley, there were some unusual noises at night. He led someone to stop him once, but failed to catch the thief. He thought it was just an ordinary theft. But the thief came again last night, something is not quite right."

"A thief?" Yin Shengle subconsciously thought of the theft case her sister was investigating.

However, if it was just an ordinary thief, after being stopped once, he would probably not continue to stare at that family again, unless he did not intend to steal, but had other premeditated plans.

"Tell them to be more vigilant. It would be great if the thief could be caught. If you can't catch anyone alive, you can just kill him. There is only one thing—no matter what you do, you can't scare A Hui."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, let's get down to business." After becoming the emperor, Yin Shengle realized that the reason why his father hadn't given birth to other children besides himself for so many years was because he was already old and he was probably busy with other affairs. The reason why I don't have time to talk about feelings with the concubines.

There are simply too many things to deal with.

"It seems that we need to open Enke as soon as possible, and select a few more available talents." He said to himself, and began to plan how to squeeze Shen Hui into the cabinet in the shortest time.

These days, the emperor did not spend as much time with his concubines as those four cabinet ministers.

And as long as Shen Hui is in the cabinet, he can use the excuse of talking about political affairs at night to keep people here for the night!

Yin Shengle cheered up immediately: "I don't know what A Hui is doing now, if he finds out about my plan, he will definitely be taken aback. Alas, in a feudal society, if an emperor is happy and angry, he will follow his own will." It would be too scary to mess around.”

He felt that he was restrained enough in exercising imperial power. The tyrant in the original book had only been on the throne for a few years and he killed himself, especially if he had someone with military power in his hands, even if he invited his name with words, he was the most upright Even the officials who dare to speak can't shake the tyrant's mind, the degraded ones are degraded and killed, and finally the whole court is dead silent, and those who stay are villains who only know how to flatter the tyrant, or wise men who hide their strengths and bide their time like the hero.

Fortunately, the tyrant was killed by the hero before the roots of the court completely rotted.

Yin Shengle intends to recall the useless greedy ministers named in the original book, most of them came out of the first imperial examination after the tyrant ascended the throne. How was it selected? It seems that there are still many double-hearted people who have never shown their feet in the imperial court.

It has been too long since he traveled to this world. Before he met a specific person, it was difficult to recall the relevant content in that book. Even if he did, he might not be able to recall everything.

The person who is most likely to take action in the imperial examination is either one of the four elders, or the two ministers of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.

Leaving aside He Gelao who seemed to have a good impression of Shen Hui for the time being, one of the remaining three Gelao was Yang Gelao, who had conflicts with Chen Xueshi who had come over to join him earlier, and he himself was from a family. , took the path of impartiality, wisdom and self-preservation, and his attitude towards every prince was very ambiguous.

Another old man surnamed Mu went back to his hometown two years ago begging for bones. The man who took his place was Ye Guifei's father Andinghou. Like his daughter, even if she moved to the Nangong for retirement, small incidents would arise from time to time.

But even though Elder Ye Ge behaved very obediently, it still couldn't prevent him from becoming Yin Shengle's number one suspect.

First of all, he himself was an important minister of the former court, and he used to support his own soldiers. Now although the soldiers and horses under his name have been scattered, the Ye family land itself is in the south, and the Ye family and his son have fought in the south for many years. Zhun still has a hidden army in his hands. The most direct evidence is that in the middle of the original book, the four princes joined forces with their grandfather and uncle to rebel.

At that time, both the Northwest Army and the Habayashi Guard were in the hands of the tyrant, and the Southern Army was thousands of miles away from the imperial capital. There must be traces of the army's mobilization. The troops that the Fourth Prince can use can only be the private army hidden by the Ye family!

The last elder in the pavilion was none other than Li Guogong. He had always been the most heartfelt royalist, and he was also the representative of the veterans who started a family with the empress of the Supreme Emperor and Shang. Among the four, Yin Shengle was the most trustworthy and also There is only Li Guogong.

But although Li Guogong has the name of the old man, he is also a general. In matters such as the imperial examination, he would not interfere if he could.

After thinking about it, Yin Shengle still felt that if Shen Hui was brought into the cabinet, he would be able to live a more relaxed life - including many aspects.

But he is so thin-skinned, how can he find the most suitable reason to put him in the cabinet?

Gee.

Yin Shengle was never afraid of officials talking, anyway they could only talk about it, but he knew how much Shen Hui cared about his reputation as an emperor, which made Yin Shengle feel very sweet when he was helpless.

When he was very young, Shen Hui once said that he wanted to become a virtuous minister to assist Ming Jun, and Yin Shengle didn't want to let his wish come true.

And Shen Hui, who was obviously farther and farther away from his ideal "virtuous minister" road, calmed down at home, and after freshening up and changing clothes, he ushered in a guest he expected.

The second place in the same subject as him is Kong Dezhang, who is now serving as the right servant in the Ministry of Officials.

He himself is a very capable person, and he has the blessing of the second place in the list. The Kong family behind him is also quite famous among the scholars, so he took the position of the right servant of the official department at a young age.

It is said that he is young, but in fact it is only compared to other servants of other ministries, Kong Dezhang is just in his forties, with a handsome short beard, he is holding two boxes of snacks in his hand, and was welcomed by Chen Xiaoshun .

"Hey, my lord Taifu, the official should have come to congratulate you on your housewarming and promotion, but the youngest in the family is really naughty, so I got him stuck for a few days... Xiaguan is late, Taifu Don't blame me, my lord."

Shen Hui smiled helplessly: "Brother Kong is really in trouble."

Kong Dezhang also smiled: "Brother Shen has been in northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has really suffered a bit, but fortunately, he kept the clouds open to see the moonlight—" His eyes slid past Chen Xiaoshun who was standing on the side, tsk tsk Twice, "It seems that brother Shen's future will definitely not be bad."

"Brother Kong was joking, how can I and other officials be free to speculate on Your Majesty's thoughts?" He waved his hand to tell Chen Xiaoshun to go down.

Kong Dezhang also sat down opposite him: "Your Majesty relies heavily on Brother Shen, and entrusted the crown prince and Prince Qi's son to you to teach, which shows the importance of Brother Shen in His Majesty's heart."

"Brother Kong came to find me, don't you just talk about these empty words?"

Kong Dezhang said awkwardly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm a little unfamiliar?"

Shen Hui looked at him and said with a smile: "It's true that the cold wind from the north has blown rough, and it's no wonder Brother Kong."

"Brother Shen, what are you talking about? If you only talk about appearance, who can beat you?" Kong Dezhang finally let go of the embarrassment on his face. Brother Shen, you are talking nonsense, I am entrusted by someone to come here this time."

Shen Hui took the invitation and saw that it was a post inviting him to enjoy the flowers.

"The Cai family?" Shen Hui raised his eyebrows, he didn't notice that his action was exactly the same as the one Yin Shengle used to do when he was in a strange mood.

"The Cai family in the imperial capital, apart from Marquis Cai, is there nothing else?"

"Yes." Kong Dezhang's expression was indescribable, "Marquis Cai...Although he is useless, a few years ago, he suddenly recognized a relative who was a small official. One son and one daughter, Caihou wants to adopt his son, but as for the daughter..."

He pointed at the post in Shen Hui's hand.

"His Royal Highness An Guo might not like to see Marquis Cai live a happy life." Although Shen Hui said so, the first thought in his mind was to throw the invitation card in his hand far away. Even the phantom of Yin Shengle appeared, and it was still Yin Shengle who was furious.

"How did Brother Kong have contact with the Cai family?"

Hearing his question, Kong Dezhang's expression became even more embarrassed, and he rubbed his face: "When I was young, I was taught by a gentleman together with her elder brother in the ethnology of Neizi's home, and that gentleman happened to be Caihou's son. Uncle, he died early and had no sons, only my uncle and my two disciples, I didn't want to bring such things in front of you, Brother Shen, to bother you."

Shen Hui understood: "It's no wonder Brother Kong, I don't have many friends in the imperial capital, I'm afraid the Cai family is not the first to look for Brother Kong?"

"Ordinary people can't find me in front of me. If it weren't for Mr.'s kindness this time, I wouldn't bother to talk to the Cai family." Kong Dezhang shrugged, "Brother Shen, just read this post, there is really no need to pay attention to it." , It is his business whether to send the post or not, as for whether to go to the banquet or not, that is our own business."

Shen Hui closed the post, and stroked the big gold-plated characters on the cover with his fingers: "The Cai family suddenly held such a high-profile banquet, maybe there is a good show to watch."

The author has something to say:

There are a lot of loving scenes in my mind.
