King Rui never clicked Mao on time.
He is a king, and he is not of the same mother as the current Holy One. His mother-in-law, the imperial concubine Li, was the daughter of the prime minister of a country. The Li family had controlled the government for many years. Now, although the Li family has been uprooted, her mother-in-law died first. But everyone knows that Prime Minister Li has disciples all over the world. Even if the Li family is eliminated, the centipede will not die, and there will always be influence.
This is what the world thinks, but he doesn't agree.
He had no soldiers and horses, and no support from the descendants of the Li family. In that catastrophe, three generations of the Li family had been executed. Although the imperial sergeants have many disciples and former officials of the prime minister, what is the use of them? When the prime minister is in charge of politics and chooses officials, those scholars naturally want to pay one or two visits. Their names are disciples, but who do they have close friendship with?
The mother-in-law is just a woman raised in a boudoir. Although she is a lady, political power has nothing to do with her. When my father was still alive, he was not confused even though he was old. That's why he eliminated the entire Li family at the beginning of the current emperor's reign.
The methods are of course vigorous and resolute.
And he asked himself that he couldn't do this.
Therefore, he cannot compete for the throne.
Just because he has self-awareness and was born in the royal family, it is impossible for a person with an innocent fortune to have no means at all. But being an emperor requires many other things besides means. The person who is appointed as the crown prince needs to be diligent and thoughtful all day long starting from elementary school. In addition, he must have some royal aura. When you grow up, you need to be immersed in the art of power and strategy, the way of a king, and also know how to control people's hearts, keep your inner thoughts from others, balance the power struggles of all parties, put the overall situation first, and sacrifice the interests of a small number of people when necessary, even those who are sacrificed Yes, there is nothing wrong at all.
He hates such sacrifice for the so-called overall situation, and he has hated this since he was a child.
He has been lazy since he was a child. Although he has learned a little bit about how to be a king, if he is asked to be a king or an emperor, he really doesn't want to.
His brother, who was the emperor, knew it, so he let him live freely until now.
But now I can't be free.
In the face of this catastrophe, as the official minister, he could no longer sit idly by.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him.
He can go to a small border county and live a happy life.
But something happened to that man temporarily, and he didn't go to make it happen.
Now they have a superior-subordinate relationship again.
He had also seen that man when he was young.
In my memory, I always have a gentle and delicate face. He is not a very handsome person, but he still looks comfortable. Although he bears the title of Young Master of the General's Mansion, he still doesn't look like him.
"Why did you stop?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, is walking ahead."
"oh?"
Interesting and interesting.
But someone didn't find it interesting at all.
In this era, there is an order of hierarchy and distinction between seniority and youth. I am afraid I am the first person to rub into my immediate boss’s car on the first day of work.
"Since you and I are traveling together, why not let me give you a ride?"
With the sedan curtains open, I could see a face that had been immersed in romance for a long time. He was dressed in the aura of prostitution, his smiling eyebrows, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth, which made me retreat in March. This person is That dignified Prince Rui?
I highly doubt this person. It's not clear whether he is a friend or an enemy. The incident a few months ago entangled me with him. Now that I have escaped, he is still my boss in another place.
King Rui and I have a bad relationship that is constantly being cut off and messed up!
Since he has a bad fate, and he also has an eyebrow that is somewhat similar to the king's, there is no need to dig deeper into this person, he must stay away.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I don't want to be a low-ranking official, so Your Majesty should go first!" I stepped back to the side of the road and gave him the spacious road. I couldn't afford to offend this giant Buddha, but fortunately I could still hide.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou is afraid that this king will stain your reputation?"
The smile between the eyebrows and the corners of the man's eyes was sarcastic. He leaned against the wall of the carriage as if he were boneless, looking at me lazily.
Oh, let me go! This monster has been released, take him back quickly, don't let him harm others outside. You are the great King Xia Rui, where is your dignity? What about your royal etiquette upbringing? Have they all been eaten by Erha! ? He looks like the head of the prime minister's mansion!
(System: Smile evilly, oh~ Scoundrel, do you know what the prime minister looks like?
Young Master: Did your system forget to install a brain? I have never eaten pork in this world, and I have never seen a pig run away!
Zhou Xiaochuan: The more I hear this metaphor, the more distorted it seems ... )
The young master was so confused by his stare!
reputation? what's the situation?
He is a treacherous king who is instigated by others to usurp the throne all day long, and he has a bad reputation. I am a former crown prince and now the emperor's tutor. If he rebels, the first person he will overthrow will be my boss! We have different positions and clear interests. It would be rare if Zhou Xiaochuan went with him!
But that was Zhou Xiaochuan, not me!
"Your Majesty is joking."
Isn't it just getting on a bus? Why not?
I held up the corner of my robe, stepped on the pedals, and climbed up.
Prince Rui paused for a moment, his smile froze for a moment, then he opened the curtain to let the bowing person in against the light. His eyes were slightly gloomy, and then he came in.
After walking for a while, he was sweating a little, but his hands were a little cold. Now that he sat in the carriage, he warmed up in an instant. He looked up at the person next to him. Although the carriage was not small, it could accommodate two people. However, he couldn't lie down like he did just now, so he sat up straighter.
Prince Rui met him a little more when they were young, but it was only in the royal study room, together with the princes, and they couldn't exchange a few words. After the crown was crowned, he named the king and built a palace, and there was no contact between them.
The young master is usually an eloquent person, but when he met King Rui in front of him, he didn't know the details and was really difficult to talk to. In order to avoid embarrassment, he had to talk about irrelevant things.
"Your Majesty, the weather is good today."
The sky is thousands of miles away and the sky is as clear as water, which is considered a good weather.
"Um."
"This street is also clean and spacious enough."
Just down the street is the street, which is clean and spacious, with a line extending out, and the health care is really good.
"oh."
" ... "
Um? oh!
The young master is here to find something to chat with him for a few words, but he can just say "um" and "oh" and that's it. If you were chatting like this and born in the same era as me, you would definitely be beaten to death!
A person who lives alone.
Since he doesn't feel embarrassed, he certainly won't make it awkward for himself. Just imitate him, close your eyes and rest your mind.
Liu An was very surprised.
Young Master Zhou never said a word to the prince, and it was rare for him to sit in the same car. Now it was he who took the initiative to initiate a conversation with the prince. He must take a good look to see if the sun is rising from the west today. of.
"Liu An, you're stupid, we're here."
Just close your eyes and relax for a while and you'll be there.
Also, the road was not very long in the first place.
Before he even got up, the person next to him got off first and slapped the driver in a daze.
"Yes, that's what the prince taught you."
Aren't you stupid? You've already reached your destination and you forgot to put down your pedals.
When the young master saw the prince in front of him getting out of the car, he followed him. At this height, it was just a matter of lifting his legs.
"Xiaochuan is about to follow."
This sentence floated in the wind, and the young man was stunned for a long time before he realized that it was me who was calling.
Xiaochuan's name was mentioned at the same time, but he was not the one he thought of.
But names are born to be called.
"The official is here."
Following the prince, who fluttered his clothes in the wind, they stepped in together.
Liu An looked at the pair of tall figures walking away from the door, one after the other, and then went in.
It is very harmonious with the door wall of Tobe Komori.
Chapter twenty-sevenIt's getting late and it's hard to go back today.When the young master arrived, he did not expect that it would be so late, but after a brief introduction, everyone in the official department joined the ranks of checking the accounts. Looking at King Rui, the monster has not made any movement yet. He is sitting sideways in the chair, holding tea in one hand and sipping lightly. What on earth is this guy doing? !In the lobby of the Ministry of Accounts, boxes of old accounts were unearthed. Everyone has their own tasks and verifies all income and expenditure one by one. They now have two tasks. One is to find out through the exchanges over the years whether there are court officials who have communicated privately with the subordinates and leaked information. This is to clean up the chess pieces buried inside. The second is to calculate how much balance there is in the national treasury and whether there is any money that can be allocat
Qingshan was waiting in his carriage."Qingshan?"I went out in the morning so that he didn't have to follow me."Master, it's getting late. Madam is worried about you, so she asked me to wait here.""In that case, you come with me for a walk.""Yes, Master."When I first arrived here, I wanted to take a tour of the capital. I was here with Qingshan today, and when I was walking leisurely, I felt that my thoughts were back again.The accounting books of the official department were handed over to Ruyun, a professional talent. If I were alone, it would be of no use, so I would just take a stroll in the night.This was the first time he had looked at the night view of Kyoto so seriously. It was brightly lit, and there were vendors scattered everywhere. Looking at the steaming food, he felt hungry."Qingshan, is dinner ready?"The lady was worried about the young master's health, so he rushed over and handed the food in
Chapter twenty-nineHe sent someone back to talk to Xiao Yezi and Ruyun from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, then he picked up the buns and walked home along the way.When I received the holy order, I was very confused.That's why there is an audit.But if the books are clean, even if I have to go on a business trip again."Alas!" Life is miserable.The emperor did not let the former Minister of Civil Service intervene, because he was probably suspicious of the candidate.It seems that I and Prince Nari are tied together."What's wrong, young master?" Hao Duanduan, why are you sighing?"Master, I'm tired, let's go back."I originally thought of letting Qingshan go back alone, but now it seems that I should go back together.My dear, I am very hardworking. I’m so exhausted from running around here and there without even getting paid. How can I still go shopping like this?When I returned to the house, I saw
Chapter 30"Why are we getting off here?"The scoundrels here don't know, but Zhou Xiaochuan does. It's still some distance from Xisi Hutong. Could something happen ahead?"I'm afraid that's the case, so you can hide in Jade Perry."Although the sun is not bright, it is still lethal to the ghost Zhou Xiaochuan. And lying in jade can protect him temporarily."Scoundrel, have you forgotten that I am here to help you?"Those eyes were as full as water and as bright as peach blossoms, and the upward curve of the corners of the mouth carried the warmth of the morning sun.He didn't move his eyes for a moment."Master, who are you talking to? Why are you stunned? Master?"Qingshan looked at the young master who got out of the carriage, muttering something, and then he was so stunned on the spot, mumbling, could he be sick? Thinking of this, Qingshan pretended to reach out to see if the young master was really sick?"Qingsh
"Rogue, despite your usual bluffing, you are also a complete fool."Zhou Xiaochuan, who was sitting in the car, murmured to the rogue who was hiding in his jade pendant.Zhou Xiaochuan does not believe in ghosts and gods.Even though he had died before and stayed in Jade Perry for such a long time, he didn't believe it. So what if it's true? He has been working hard for so long. If there are ghosts and gods, why don't you see him having such a hard time! In this world, the only person he can trust is himself!This scoundrel is a complete fool. He is never merciful, but if he sees someone who is weak and helpless, he will definitely lend a hand to help him. He is obviously a scoundrel with nothing, but he still wants to save the world. It is only thanks to the character of this bad guy that he can pick up one. Life, come back to this body.He could already touch the things around him. Although he could not shine directly into the sun, he fell asleep on t
Chapter 32Always accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is not doing things well. Please forgive me!"Having trouble doing things? You look like you are confident!"King Rui, tell me what you saw yesterday."Prince Rui was just a decoration when he went to court on weekdays, and the ministers rarely saw him born. Since it makes no difference whether he goes or not, he simply asks for leave from the emperor. If he has a headache or fever on weekdays, he will rest at home for three to five days. In January, Prince Rui always takes leave three to five times, so in January Among them, there are only a few people who can see Prince Rui in person. As for the visit, it never happened. There are two reasons for his wish. Before becoming the king, Prince Rui lived in the palace and no one visited him. After the title of king, when the emperor ascended the throne, Rui Wen's mother and concubine left with the
Chapter Thirty-ThreeWe walked all the way back to the General's Mansion in this way, stepping on the green brick floor and blowing the spring wind. It was almost May, and although the evening breeze was cool, it was also very comfortable."grown ups?"The stall owner had just set up his stall when the person he met was the man from the previous day."You recognize me?""Sir, noble people often forget things. The day before yesterday, you ate Hu Tang and steamed buns in a small shop."They had just met him once the day before yesterday, but this gentleman actually took his words to heart. The refugees in Xisi Hutong have now been resettled, and he can do business safely, all thanks to this gentleman.Hu Tang? steamed stuffed bun?Could it be that the food the scoundrel carried was bought here that day?"Is your Excellency the same as that day?"Same? It was the first time for him to eat here. It was so open and crude
Chapter Thirty FourMaster, I woke up. It was really dark today. I didn’t even light a candle. Even thinking about going to the bathroom, I was afraid that I would accidentally fall to death. Ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet, right?(System: Scoundrel, are you sure ghosts don’t need to go to the toilet?Young Master Me: Probably ...Ghost: I want to appeal! There is species discrimination! ... )Wait, wait. No, sir, haven’t I turned into a ghost? How come such a heavy body comes from! Where is this! Master, I want to go out!"Is he lost in the jade pendant?"Since Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't sleep, he looked for someone to relieve his boredom, and Wu Mo, who was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, was a good candidate. This is a secluded place in the General's Mansion. Monk Wu Mo has no martial arts skills, so he can just find someone to watch him.Unexpectedly, someone was also asleep, with his eyes open and a slumped look on
