Seeing that Yu Chuxi didn't mean to be angry, Xie Shu's heart relaxed, and the look in his eyes that looked at Lang Jun couldn't help but be filled with joy.

After Eunuch Liu made the announcement, he was hesitant to remind Xie Shu something, but after seeing this situation, Xie Shu would not care much about it.

Eunuch Liu couldn't help but recall three days ago...

At that time, although Master Lu arrived in time and Emperor Qing didn't punish him, Eunuch Liu was able to retreat unscathed, but Eunuch Liu was still quite frightened after returning.

Eunuch Liu didn't know that Gu Zhong's actions must have been ordered by the third prince. This is to scare chickens and monkeys to scare others!At first, Eunuch Liu was lucky enough to find another big tree after he returned to Beijing, but now he understood that he didn't have to wait until this time.

With the ability of the third prince, it is not easy to find opportunities in the future itinerary?

However, Eunuch Liu worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Firstly, he was not a close servant of the emperor. Second, it was not easy to install someone who could talk to the emperor.

Just when Eunuch Liu was frowning, Wei Qingtong came to the door...

Wei Qingtong thanked him first, and then explained why he came.

He has nowhere to rely on now, and he doesn't want to live in other places. He has no other requirements, but he asks Eunuch Liu to give him a place to settle down.

As Wei Qingtong spoke, tears came down.

Hearing that Eunuch Liu was in trouble for a while, but seeing Wei Qingtong's condition, his heart suddenly moved.

In fact, Eunuch Liu was entrusted by Xie Shu to rescue Wei Qingtong this time, so he didn't inquire about anything in advance, he only heard about Wei Qingtong.

But seeing Wei Qingtong today, Eunuch Liu couldn't help taking another look. Although this Wei Qingtong came from a poor background, his appearance and temperament were like a white lotus growing out of mud, which was very surprising.

This Wei Qingtong is not only a rare twin, but also has a mole between his eyebrows, and he has the name of "Little Guanyin".

Eunuch Liu's thoughts changed, and a bold idea came to him, maybe, he could dedicate Wei Qingtong to Emperor Qing.

At first, Eunuch Liu also felt that his idea was a bit absurd.

Although Emperor Qing used to like beauty, but these years, he has paid more and more attention to self-cultivation, and no longer favors anyone. Even the concubine Gu Gui, who once favored the harem, now Emperor Qing only visits once or twice a month. , Of course, this is the only one in the harem.

However, Eunuch Liu thought about it again, Emperor Qing is also a human being, how could he really let go of his emotions and desires?

Emperor Qing may not have had other thoughts on his southern tour this time.

After all, Emperor Qing had met all the beauties from the Northland before, did he really never think about Jiao'e from the Southland?

If I can show my beauty to win Emperor Qing's favor, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing for someone to speak in front of Emperor Qing in the future?

And now that Wei Qingtong was sent in front of him, no one was more suitable than him.

There is nothing wrong with Wei Qingtong's appearance or figure, and the most important thing is that he also has the title of "Little Guanyin"...

Maybe it doesn't make much sense to others, but to the emperor, it's different.

Moreover, Wei Qingtong has no background, no power and no power, even if he gets favored in the future, he still has to rely on him.

When Eunuch Liu thought of this, he had already made up his mind.

Eunuch Liu looked at Wei Qingtong meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Our family can give you a good place to go. This place is a place that countless people in the world would like to go in their dreams. It just depends on whether you want to go or not?"

Hearing this, Wei Qingtong slowly stopped crying, his face lost all color, and instead looked as white and pure as a lotus flower in the rain, then nodded lightly and remained silent.

Seeing that he was smart and obedient, Eunuch Liu felt even more satisfied. Then he remembered something, looked at him with lightning eyes, and asked, "Our family has one more question to ask you. To be honest, you used to have nothing to do with Xie Shuzhen?"

Although Eunuch Liu also felt that there was no suspense in the answer to this question, Eunuch Liu had to ask more. After all, Wei Qingtong was going to be sent to the emperor, and there was no room for carelessness.

Wei Qingtong hurriedly raised his head and said, "Eunuch Liu, Brother Xie just...have pity on me, we are innocent and have nothing to do with each other."

Seeing that he didn't have any clues, Eunuch Liu was relieved, and raised his voice again. Taught him for a few days before sending him to Emperor Qing.

On that day, Emperor Qing really took a fancy to Wei Qingtong, and Eunuch Liu was promoted to an official rank because of this.

Eunuch Liu came to his senses, although he was entrusted by Xie Shu, but now that everything has been settled, it is useless for him to think too much.

After a while, a banquet was set up in the hall, and Eunuch Liu presided over it. It wasn't until the banquet was over that it was withdrawn that he heard a loud singing from outside the hall: "The sage has arrived."

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to vent their anger, and hurriedly lowered their heads to pay respects.

Xie Shu lowered his gaze. He was not in awe of this ancient ruler of the highest class like others, but he did not have a trace of curiosity in his heart.

At this time, wait for Emperor Qing to take his seat, so that everyone will be excused.

Everyone raised their heads nervously just now, only to see that although Emperor Qing was 45 years old and wearing a yellow robe, he looked much younger and looked majestic.At the same time, everyone also noticed that there was a beautiful male concubine next to Emperor Qing. For some reason, they always felt familiar but hard to recognize.

Only Su Kai recognized this person, and immediately lost his wits and nearly fell to the ground. Before Su Kai could catch his breath, he heard the friendly voice of Emperor Qing: "Who is Xie Shu? Come forward and let me have a look."

Xie Shuyiyan came to the front, he didn't look sideways, he didn't pay attention to the male concubine next to the emperor, but felt a strange look looking at him.

But Xie Shu didn't care, and still calmly said: "Caomin Xie Shu has seen the emperor."

When Emperor Qing saw this young man coming, his style was completely different from Lu Shuo's, but he was also handsome and elegant, which made people's eyes bright, and he felt a little more appreciative, so he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing this year How old are you? Do you have any fame?"

Xie Shu said in a low voice: "The grassroots are not talented. They are twenty this year. After being selected as a scholar at the age of 16, they have not made any progress in the next four years."

Emperor Qing couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He only knew that Xie Shu was Jiang Hong's new apprentice. He thought that he was almost the same as Lu Shuo, and he should be selected no matter what. He didn't expect that he was still a scholar.

However, when Emperor Qing saw Xie Shu's extraordinary bearing, neither humble nor overbearing, the confusion in his heart disappeared. This person has Jiang Hong's blue eyes and talent. If he thinks that his fortune is bad for a while, or he is clumsy, he may not be able to make a big splash in the future.What's more, the number one scholar in Lu Shuo was also a genius that was not available in the previous dynasty. Where can everyone be like him?

But when Emperor Qing thought of this, he was not as optimistic about Xie Shu as before. He originally thought of a question to test him, but now he wanted to make things difficult. It happened that there was something that caused Emperor Qing a little headache these days.

Emperor Qing then asked: "Xie Shu, you are both a student and a disciple of Jiang Hong. Let me ask you, since the previous dynasty, the Yellow River has burst every few years. Now that the Yellow River has been governed for many years, there is still no water. Inch advance has become the biggest problem in the south of the Yangtze River, what's your idea?"

When Emperor Qing asked this question, he didn't really have any hope. What kind of solution would he get from Xie Shu, who has been studying for a long time? After all, the Yellow River consumes tens of millions of manpower and countless gold every year, but none of the previous river governors is useful.

When Xie Shu heard the words, he thought about it. In ancient times, there were not many ways to control the Yellow River. Usually, the Yellow River was diverted into the sea by embankment reinforcement and dredging.

But in fact, this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. If the upper reaches of the Yellow River are not treated, soil erosion will be serious, and the sediment will hit the downstream, which will still cause flooding and disasters.

Of course, it is not easy to solve this problem even if you are aware of it. First of all, due to the limitation of manpower and technological level, the upper reaches are sparsely populated, and it is difficult to call on the people to plant forests, and there is no way to set up reservoirs in the area where the Yellow River flows. Regulate water flow.

However, Xie Shu recalled several books on ancient water conservancy projects that he had read in this world, and he had the answer in his mind, and he said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the people's humble opinion, the reason for the difficulty in harnessing the Yellow River is that the river harnessing technique is wrong. The Yellow River is silted up every year, and the only way to clear the sand and discharge the silt, and to widen the river channel will only accumulate more and more riverbeds, and finally block the submerged transport and collapse all over the place."

Emperor Qing was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Xie Shu's words to be right in his words, no wonder the Yellow River cleaned up the river sand every year, but it was useless.

And Emperor Qing also had doubts in his heart, Xie Shu said that the method of harnessing the river was wrong, could he come up with a better way?

At this time, Xie Shu continued: "Your Majesty, Caomin thinks it's better to build a bunch of water and use water to wash the sand."

Hearing this unheard-of words, Emperor Qing's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "What do you say?"

Xie Shu replied: "The downstream embankment should be strengthened and raised, and the river channel should be narrowed. In this way, the water potential will increase and the speed of the downstream river will increase. Not only will the new sand not sink, but the old sand will also be washed away. .”

Emperor Qing was thoughtful when he heard the words. Although the feasibility of it has yet to be verified, Xie Shu is definitely not a mediocre person who can come up with such a method.

Emperor Qing suddenly loved talents, and said: "Xie Shu, you don't stick to a small area, it's really good to focus on the current affairs, but it's a pity that you don't have any fame..."

When Emperor Qing said this, he felt a little embarrassed. Originally, if Xie Shu had the status of a candidate, Emperor Qing could directly give him a leisurely official position. If there is a chance in the future, he can be promoted slowly.

At this time, a soft and cowardly voice suddenly sounded from the side saying: "Your Majesty, this Mr. Xie and his concubine also recognize him. His talent is well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Since you think Mr. Xie is rare, you should also be eclectic." yes."

Emperor Qing was surprised when he heard the words: "Oh, so Jun Wei also knows Xie Shu?" But Emperor Qing didn't care about this, he just smiled and said: "What Jun Wei said makes sense, how about it, Xie Shuzhen ordered you to be a Zuo Suyi, do you like it?"

When the words came out, the people present couldn't believe it, and at the same time, their expressions were different, and it was clear that they had suddenly realized that this is the little Guanyin "Wei Qingtong"?

Who would have imagined that after being taken away by Eunuch Liu, the helpless Shuang'er in the past would really transform into a male concubine by the emperor's side!

At this time, everyone couldn't help but secretly thought that Wei Qingtong was able to recommend Xie Shu under such circumstances, and they thought there was really no ambiguous relationship between them, it was just a friendship between neighbors.

However, Xie Shu is about to rise to the top because of this. For a moment, everyone was envious and jealous. Thinking of Su Kai, they gloated again. If Emperor Qing knew that Su Kai had threatened Wei Qingtong, would Su Kai still have a way out?

Su Kai's legs were already trembling, almost unable to hold on.

On the other hand, Yu Chuxi raised his head. He fixedly stared at Xie Shu's figure with a complex look in his eyes, but in the end he just watched calmly.

At this time, after Emperor Qing finished speaking, he waited for Xie Shu to thank him, and Eunuch Liu even winked at Xie Shu, wishing he could answer for Xie Shu.

Nowadays, the imperial examinations are popular all over the world, and Emperor Qing has rarely hired anyone outside the rules over the years. The last time was a few years ago.

And Emperor Qing took a fancy to Xie Shu this time, and gave him the position of Zuo Shiyi. It is conceivable that Emperor Qing admired Xie Shu.

Although this Zuo Shiyi is an official of the eighth rank, he can accompany Emperor Qing and give advice to him. He is also called "Qing Wang Guan". I don't know how many people fawn on him!

Who can refuse such an official position?

Xie Shu's expression remained unmoved, as if Emperor Qing's words had no temptation for him, he said without the slightest hesitation: "Your Majesty, please forgive Caomin's rudeness, Caomin still wants to enter the official position through the imperial examination."
