Chapter 183 Zhou Zhongcheng
Historian!
He had just served Wu Chengsi, but Wu Chengsi did not keep Shi Jin. He asked him to go home after finishing his work. Although his legs were a little unstraight, Shi Jin was in a very good mood and laughed in and walked in.
"Jin'er, why are you so happy?"
Lin Mei couldn't help asking.
Shi Jin said happily: "That cheap man is going to be in great trouble!"
"Oh? Where did you start with this?"
Lin Mei showed surprise.
Shi Jin told the rumor he heard from Wu Chengsi, and finally added: "It is said that collusion with the demon is a serious crime. The lowly person exposes this matter, which is a great achievement. Even if he is not promoted immediately, he should be rewarded with a few hundred taels of silver and a few pieces of silk cloth. But the empress dowager has nothing to say. Wouldn't he beset, and he is afraid that he will be beheaded soon!"
The emperor's reward is not about things, but about symbolic meaning. No matter how mediocre it is, it means that the emperor has noticed it. However, Xiao Ye has not received any reward, and many people think it is a manifestation of losing favor.
Can a minister lose his favor?
Lin Mei also thought so, and nodded happily and said, "Don't worry about Xiao Ye in the future. You should listen to Duke Zhou's teachings more, read more, and strive to win the imperial examination next year..."
As he was talking, Lin Mei suddenly found that Mr. Cai was frowning slightly, and no joy appeared, so he asked, "Do you have another opinion?"
Mr. Cai pondered: "I have never met the Queen Mother and I don't know much about it. But if the Queen Mother easily feels happy and angry and makes people think about it, how can she hold power in just twenty years as a woman?
Moreover, the Empress Dowager has a good reputation for knowing people and making good use of them. For example, Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi have their own appointments. If I expected it, Xiao Ye was also a talent like Di Zhang in the mind of the Empress Dowager. How could such a person be hastyly defamed for destroying the Yousu Zhengtai?
The empress dowager most of the time is to value Xiao Ye, and she will not reward or punish him. She should sharpen his edges and corners, just like a sword. Even if she is forged in every way, she will break it. Only by quenching the fire can she be urged without any strength!”
"this……"
Shi Jin's expression was stunned. He wanted to see Xiao Ye being pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded, but he had to admit that Mr. Cai's analysis was correct.
Lin Mei was unwilling to say: "Sir, can't you cure that kid?"
Mr. Cai snorted: "You have to start from Jin'er's place to treat that kid. Didn't Duke Zhou recommend Jin'er to the daughter of a daughter? I'll help you urge you to the next day. If you can win the daughter of a daughter, you will definitely recommend it to the queen mother. If you get the daughter of a daughter of a daughter, you will be more than enough for the boy to suffer."
"The princess of the daughter is in her fifties, and Jin'er is not yet as tall as the crown!"
Lin Mei looked at Mr. Cai with dissatisfaction. Shi Jin was her parent-child. How could she watch Shi Jin go to the old woman to face her? This is still she who doesn't know Shi Jin's identity as another child, otherwise she might have fought with Mr. Cai.
“Hey~~”
Mr. Cai waved his hand: "A real man can bend and stretch, but Han Xin still feels humiliated by the crotch. What is the point of Jiner serving two old wives? What's more, although Qianjin Princess is over fifty, she is well maintained. She looks like Xu Niang in forty years. Jiner can be with Qianjin Princess, and she will not suffer any loss.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager is even more beautiful and has a good reputation. She is still as beautiful as a woman over 60 years old. She is also unparalleled in beauty. She doesn’t want to go, but there are people in the world who want to go."
Lin Mei was still hesitant. It was nothing if the man was a romantic man, but the problem was that she was only in her thirties. The age of a daughter-in-law could be her mother and Shi Jin's grandmother, so that she could enjoy the joy of fish and water with a grandmother-generation woman. It was psychologically unacceptable!
Mr. Cai said again: "Although Jin'er has some talent, it is far from Xiao Ye. Do you think he can defeat Xiao Ye by himself? In the capital, you and me are not convenient to take action. If this son becomes a climate, I am afraid that the first person will be the one who will take Jin'er's life. Now you are reluctant to let Jin'er go to serve him shyly, and in the future you will be willing to collect the body for Jin'er?"
The more Mr. Cai spoke, the louder the voice became, and he looked like he hated him for not fighting.
"Jin'er, what do you mean?"
Lin Mei asked reluctantly.
Shi Jin must be willing. Young men often like beautiful women. The daughter-in-law and the queen mother praised by Mr. Cai for being so beautiful, so they have long been lustful. No matter what, it is better to serve women in person than to serve men.
However, on the surface, Shi Jin said indignantly: "Mom, don't talk about being in person, as long as I can take revenge, I will be willing to be a eunuch."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Mei was startled and quickly scolded her.
Mr. Cai also felt a sense of discomfort in his heart. After all, this world is sage, and it is nothing for ordinary people to say a few words casually. However, Shi Jin is literary and has connections with Emperor Wenchang, and what he said may not be true.
Mr. Cai cursed inwardly: Stupid!
The next morning, Xiao Ye rented a ox cart with Mr. Gu, sat in the car with Su Yueer, who was dressed as a servant, and went to the yamen.
The vehicle was not big, and the two sat together. They had had the experience of sleeping in the same bed, which was nothing, but looking at Su Yue'er in a small hat in blue, Xiao Ye always felt a little uncomfortable. Another smell of his daughter's body plunged into his nose, and finally couldn't help saying: "Maybe Su, your fragrance is too obvious. Don't you know that you are dressed as a man when you smell it?"
Su Yue'er said angrily: "It's so rare and strange. There are many men who apply powder. It's better now. During the Six Dynasties, the gentry princes were embarrassed to go out without applying powder. Are you afraid that others would misunderstand you?"
"Yes, I am carrying such a handsome bookkeeper, and I can't help but misunderstand it."
Xiao Ye spread his hands honestly.
Su Yue'er smiled sly and simply put her pretty face on Xiao Ye's shoulder.
...
Since ancient times, officials have allowed the office worker to take the Changsu Book Children, and Xiao Ye takes Su Yue'er with him. Others are not surprised, but Su Yue'er's appearance is too handsome and makes people think about it.
Fortunately, Xiao Ye has become the public enemy of the Yousu Zhengtai, and no one has come to get close to him without any ignorance. It is just that Junchen and Zhou Xing, who come to look closer from time to time, glanced at him, his eyes full of lust, and clearly regarded Su Yue'er as Xiao Ye's servant.
Before I knew it, three days passed.
Early this morning, the Ministry of Personnel sent a letter and appointed Zhou Xing as the chief censor, Lai Junchen, Liu Guangye and others with envy, but there was nothing we could do about it. Zhou Xing was from a Jinshi, and they belonged to Xu Jin, and they were not from aristocratic families, but just relying on the appreciation of the empress dowager.
When the Tang Dynasty selected officials, only high-ranking officials above the fourth rank were appointed by the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel under the fourth rank was appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. Of course, the Yousu Zhengtai was the empress dowager's hawk, and the Censor Zhongcheng still had to be recognized by the empress dowager.
"snort!"
Su Yue'er snorted unanimously: "It's actually Zhou Xing's lewd thief. Is the Ministry of Personnel blind?"
Xiao Ye said calmly: "The Empress Dowager cannot let outsiders take charge of the Right Su Zhengtai. Zhou Xing is not surprised. She is considered a general in the short man. You are waiting for me here. I will go to Zhou Xing and settle the Hua family's case."
"Be careful, Zhou Xing will not easily let your mind go."
Su Yue'er reminded him.
"I have a number!"
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, took the document confession and went to the lobby.
In the lobby, there were chatting and laughing. Lai Junchen, Liu Guangye, Wang Deshou and other cruel officials spoke compliments to Zhou Xing. When Xiao Ye arrived, they stopped the topic at the same time and their eyes became gloomy.
"Secretary has met Lord Zhou!"
Xiao Ye gave in a good deal.
"Haha, why is Lord Xiao coming?"
Zhou Xing stroked his beard and was in a great mood.
Although Suo Yuanli was deposed, the court did not dismiss his official position and only allowed him to recuperate at home. He was the helmsman of the Censorate. As long as he handled one or two major cases and was favored by the Empress Dowager, he would be promoted to Censor. Speaking of which, he would also "thank you" Xiao Ye.
If Xiao Ye hadn't been brought down, he might not have had his chance. Of course, the so-called thanks is to find an opportunity to send Xiao Ye to hell.
