Chapter 291: The Battle between Jingzhao Yin

"Since Eunuch Tai's opinion just now, is the Lord sad about why he has been working hard these days?" Seeing that Emperor Longhui and Duan Liuming fell into an embarrassing silence, Xingluo could not help but break the silence in the imperial study room: "If the Lord has any trouble, can you tell Xingluo to know? Perhaps, Xingluo can still solve the problems of the Lord!"

"You kid is becoming more and more likable, and it is becoming more and more afraid to take it lightly!" As he said something, Emperor Longhui suddenly flew over to Xingluo on the desk that he was reading. After Xingluo was puzzled, Emperor Longhui signaled him to just look at it and explained lightly: "For more than a month, with the arrival of the envoys from all directions in the capital, Huayan City has become increasingly undercurrents. But at this critical moment, someone else set a handful of hidden fire in my backyard!"

"Xiang Wuji?" Looking at the name of a person who was in the siege, Xingluo couldn't help but remember the scene in Fengyue Pavilion that night. After looking at the content of the memorial, Xingluo presented the memorial and asked tentatively: "After investigation, the former Jingzhao Yin Xiang Wuji was corrupt and abused the law, and accepted bribes of more than 86,300 taels of silver. According to the law, he has been suspended from office to investigate. Now the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and I am asking the emperor to give him a death sentence! This is a - the King of Hell's Death Punch?"

"Yeah!" He stood up and Emperor Longhui explained softly as he paced back and forth: "Beijing is extremely large; there are many signs; the ancestors named the capital Jingzhao to show the style and scale of a great power. Therefore, the position of Jingzhao Yin, although it is only a mere third-rank rank, has always controlled all government affairs in Huayan City and even near Jingji. It is a veritable important position with real power over false reputation! Sitting in the position of Jingzhao Yin, all kinds of contradictions are complicated and interpersonal relationships are complicated. To be bad, it is the easiest job to offend people; to be good, it is the easiest position to get along with others!"

"If you enforce the law impartially and have a ruthless face, you will naturally easily offend all forces; if you are corrupt and abused the law, you will naturally easily have a good relationship with all officials!" As he said that, he saw Emperor Longhui nodding slightly. Xingluo continued to ask: "Since the emperor knows that Jingzhao Yin has some problems, why don't he dismiss him as soon as possible to investigate?"

"Xingluo. You don't understand this, right?" Before Emperor Longhui could explain, Duan Liuming squinted his eyes and said, "The water is clear and there is no fish, and the person is observing. The way to be a king is not to eliminate evil, but to make those high-ranking officials and nobles in their positions perform their duties. As for being a little corrupt and cheating on this basis, the emperor can only earn one eye and close one. This is the technique of controlling people! What's more, even if he removes that Wuji, no one can guarantee that his successor must be a clean official with a clear mirror. Perhaps he will send away the evil wolf and have a tiger again!"

"This..." Thinking of Qian Wenlong that arrogant that night, Xingluo couldn't help but agree with the rationality of Duan Liuming's words. He immediately returned the memorial to Emperor Longhui, and Xingluo asked happily: "Is Your Majesty worried about this?"

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the important places of Jingzhao cannot be without an imperial court for a day!" After nodding, Emperor Longhui stated to Xingluo: "Now that Xiang Wuji is exposed and it is difficult to take office, I have to quickly order the new Jingzhao Yin to do it. But just as I said just now: this position of Jingzhao Yin is of great importance! As soon as something happened to Xiang Wuji, there were fierce differences in the court about the candidate for the new Jingzhao Yin. Speaking of Xingluo, you may not believe it: Before this matter, although there were many parties in the court, most of them were only hardliners and the Bian An faction; but for the position of Jingzhao Yin, not only did the civil and military officials not buy it, but also between the three provinces and six ministries, there were also quite obvious differences. There were as many as 13 candidates for Jingzhao Yin who were recommended by everyone!

"Thirteen people!?" After hearing Emperor Long Hui's words, Xingluo couldn't help but exclaim. After a moment of thinking, Xingluo couldn't help but confirm: "These thirteen people must be all new political stars represented by the parties and factions in the court, right? As long as you put your own party in the position of Jingzhao Yin, you can not only be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to control your own side in the future, but also control the enemy. It's just that no matter who you choose from among these thirteen people, is it not suitable for you?"

"Let's just talk about whether there is really a competent candidate for Jingzhao Yin among these thirteen people. Just because of the arrogant and perverse manner of the emperor, it is definitely not surprising that he can choose the candidate from the thirteen people recommended by the ministers, right?" If the one who knows Emperor Longhui best in Zixiao Palace is the dialect of Eunuch Tai. Then the one who knows Emperor Longhui best outside Zixiao Palace is the temple minister of Tianzhao Temple. Seeing Emperor Longhui silently speaking about his jokes, Duan Liuming couldn't help but open the skylight and headed straight to the topic: "Master, you tell me about this matter. What do you want him to do?"

"Hey! I have said so many things, but you still don't understand?" Seeing Duan Liuming's gaze of nothing to do with him and his posture of hanging up, Xingluo was indeed looking at him with suspicion. Emperor Longhui said calmly: "Old guy, although you are hateful, you know my heart very well. Even if there are indeed those thirteen people with both virtue and talent, they are very upset with their actions like forcing the palace! So after thinking about it, I decided not to choose Jingzhao Yin from those thirteen people!"

"Can the priest already have a suitable candidate?" As he said this, seeing Duan Liuming and Emperor Long Hui both looked at him with a strange look on his face, Xingluo thought for a moment, and his face turned sharp and pointed at the tip of his nose and whispered: "Can it be... no?"

"What is it? Not bad! I just like you boy! Xingluo, I want you to be the one who manages the government affairs of Jingzuo!" After the answer was unstoppable, seeing Xingluo's mouth open like an egg, Emperor Longhui suddenly laughed: "Hahaha... I am really happy to see Xingluo's expression!"

"Master, this... the country's major event is not a joke!" The reason why Xingluo was so surprised was that he never expected that Emperor Longhui would let him, a young boy, take on the position of Jingzhao Yin. In fact, before that, Xingluo could also notice that Emperor Longhui did not have much affection for him because of Tang Xiaowan's local affairs. After talking to Duan Liuming last night, Xingluo knew that Emperor Longhui not only had no good feelings for him, but was very taboo about his existence. It was this perception that made Xingluo feel unacceptable to Emperor Longhui's words. Unexpectedly, just when Xingluo didn't know what to say, Duan Liuming had already interrupted: "It's important, the Lord must have said this after careful consideration, right? But Xingluo may not be able to enter the official career, so it is possible to speak. After the National Day and the Birthday, please take back the life!"

"Master!"

"Old Duan means: Before the National Day, did you agree to let Xingluo temporarily take the position of Jingzhao Yin?" Before Xingluo could say anything, Emperor Longhui had already decided: "From today, there are still eight days to the National Day birthday. Xingluo, within these eight days, I hope you can temporarily take the position of Jingzhao Yin; after eight days, I will let you free, how about it?"

“……..I. Thank you Lord for your kindness!”

Inexplicably, Xingluo was labeled as a Jingzhao Yindi hat.

Chapter 292 The Enlightenment of Shield

"Master, why did you help him just now?" As soon as he walked out of the imperial study room, Xingluo complained about Duan Liuming with anger. What Xingluo said was that Duan Liuming helped Emperor Longhui drive Xingluo to the position of Jingzhao Yin just now. After hearing Xingluo's complaints, Duan Liuming beat him like nothing happened: "Haha... Isn't this a good thing? His apprentice was able to take the important position of Jingzhao Yin--although it was only eight days. It was enough to make old man proud!"

"Eight Days?" Hearing Duan Liuming and Emperor Longhui repeatedly mentioned this time limit, Xingluo couldn't help but divert his attention from the moment of surprise, thinking about the relationship between his Jingzhao Yin's eight-day period and the current National Day and Birthday. Seeing that Xingluo was thinking about it so much that he stopped complaining about himself, Duan Liuming walked forward and said softly: "Silly child, even if you still want to stay in Jingzhao Yin's position after the eight-day period, the emperor will not agree!"

"At present, Xingluo also felt that he had become a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. But I still don't understand: What is the inevitable relationship between the position of Jingzhao Yin and the National Day and the Birthday?"

"It is better to say that Jingzhao Yin and the National Day Birthday are related to the people who come to participate in the National Day Birthday! Let's make it clearer: Jingzhao Yin is related to the distribution of power in the important places of Gyeonggi, and the current plans and future strategies of the Beijing officials; and many of the Beijing officials of the empires, many of them have more or less related to the envoys who came to congratulate the world!" Seeing that Xingluo had grasped something, Duan Liuming simply pointed out: "After the National Day Birthday, those envoys will leave the empire one after another. At that time, no matter how loud the protests between the court and the opposition are, the emperor will definitely overwhelm the ministers and be stubborn!"

"A slow-down strategy! So, I have become a cover for him to attract the attention of those indignant people?" Seeing Duan Liuming nodded slightly, Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "If our Lord is plotting against me, then what about you? What about you? You are so enthusiastic about pushing me to the position of Jingzhao Yin? Don't tell me: You, who are deaf and you are, suddenly you are concerned about national affairs!"

"What about you? Why do you seem to feel relieved after you understand that you are the Jingzhao Yin for eight days?" As he asked without answering the question, Duan Liuming had already interrupted his disciple's unspeakable words on his own: "No matter what you think and what you plan to do, I still have to remind you: Although Xingluo is destined to be the Jingzhao Yin with the shortest term in the history of the Empire, this does not mean that you will be very relaxed in the next eight days. As a shield, you must have the awareness of being a shield. Do you understand?"

"If I had met my sister before, I might not be able to deal with it in this situation. But now, Master, I dare to say to you: Even if you want to take my life in Xingluo, you will definitely pay a considerable price!" Just standing there with a smile on the spot, Xingluo exuded a sense of momentum and a sense of substantial oppression. He nodded with satisfaction at the moment. The temple minister of Tianzhao Temple smiled and replied: "Well! I believe! That person was trapped by his seniors in the formation. Otherwise, I would not be assured to let you take on this great task. Xingluo, every moment in the next eight days, may become the key to history. At the forefront of fighting for power and profit, I hope you can agree to be your teacher: protect yourself first, and then protect the country!"

"..., Xingluo understands!" Feeling the care that puts his safety above everything in Duan Liuming's words, Xingluo followed Duan Liuming and silently looked at the figure stretched by the lights. Just as Xingluo was remembering the bits and pieces between the past and Duan Liuming in the shadow that was constantly flashing because of the lights, Duan Liuming, who was walking in front, had already looked at the palace in front of him and murmured: "Zi Yuque, Zi Yuque, I didn't expect to go around in circles. I was still here!"

"Master?" When he saw the huge palace with bright lights in front of Duan Liuming's figure, Xingluo couldn't help but ask curiously: "This is Zi Yuque where the banquet is held? Master, have you been here?"

"Have you been here? Maybe!" With inexplicable words, Duan Liuming had already calmed down and walked towards the gate of Ziyuque. This was not the first time Xingluo saw Duan Liuming so lonely. Although he had never asked about Duan Liuming's past, he could also notice that Duan Liuming must have had a close relationship with the Tang family back then. In this Zixiao Palace, many sad or cheerful memories must have been left. As Duan Liuming walked into the Ziyuque, a trace of thought emerged in Xingluo's heart:

Can the past really go with the wind?

"Isn't this Master Xingluo?" Just as Xingluo was secretly sad, he had heard several people say hello to him. Then before Xingluo could turn around, the dignitaries and nobles who were originally talking loudly in the Ziyu Que bowed to Xingluo. Under this show, 99% of the officials in the huge Ziyu Que had already shortened to Xingluo. However, these officials were all from the first-rank official below the first-rank official. According to the Emperor Longhui's earth order, they had to salute Xingluo, who was the first-rank official, regardless of whether they wanted or not. However, this huge scene made Xingluo feel a little afraid to resist. Fortunately, Duan Liuming had already sent a message to his disciple: "I said Lord Xingluo, give it back!"

"Ah? Oh... sirs, don't be so polite! You are all pillars of the country and important officials in the court. Xingluo is just a junior. Xingluo should be the one who bows to you!" While giving the salute, Xingluo had already sent out more than a hundred qi powers in an instant. The qi powers kept wandering in the purple jade palace, and at the same time helped all the officials who bowed to Xingluo. Although some officials themselves had good cultivation, although they noticed the existence of the qi power, they still had to straighten their backs according to the qi power. Fortunately, when everyone looked around, they found that the others had already straightened their bodies and didn't care much at the moment.

"Master Xingluo is such a clever way to use his strength!" Just as Xingluo was watching the officials scattered and felt a little secretly grateful. A heroic figure in a white silk brocade robe had already walked up there. When Xingluo saw clearly that the man was Bai Yi, the General Yunyue of Yunluo Kingdom, he couldn't help but shout happily. But in a flash, Xingluo saw Princess Mingzhu and another figure behind Baiyi. He looked at the well-dressed figure in surprise. Xingluo An couldn't help but exclaimed in panic, as if he was getting lost and losing, "How could you be here?"

Standing opposite Xingluo was Liu Fangqing, who lived in the unintentional Xiaozhu. Liu Fangqing, who was dressed in elegant clothes, looked at Xingluo, but said nothing.

Chapter 293 Pervert & Mango

"It was Mingzhu who led his sister!" After breaking the embarrassment and silence for the moment, it was Princess Mingzhu of Yunluo Kingdom. Seeing Xinglua looking at him with a reproachful look, Mingzhu unconsciously shrank her neck, but soon the girl seemed to have noticed her loss of composure. She shouted louder at Xingluo: "What's wrong? This is not your home! Do you want to care?"

"Mingzhu, don't be rude to Lord Xingluo!" Seeing the strange atmosphere between Xingluo and Liu Fangqing, Bai Yi noticed some clues after thinking about it. He turned his back to Liu Fangqing and explained to Xingluo: "Mingzhu has indeed been pestering Miss Fangqing; on the other hand, Bai is not at ease to leave Miss Fangqing alone in Wuxin Xiaozhu; of course, the most important thing is: Your Majesty the Emperor of your country wrote clearly on the invitation: I want Bai to bring Miss Fangqing into the palace together!"

"Master!" As his expression was shocked, Xingluo quickly listed all the possibilities of existence in his mind. But at this time, he could only grasp that Emperor Longhui not only regarded himself as a shield and a cover, but also arranged something for himself. What exactly would it be? Damn it! Why should Fangqing be involved? Why? Just as Xingluo thought about it more and more angry, Duan Liuming had already walked to Liu Fangqing and laughed softly: "You are... the girl Fangqing who is fascinated by our Xingluo?"

"Fangqing, I've seen Master of the Temple!" In fact, when Xingluo followed Duan Liuming into the Ziyu Que, Liu Fangqing, who had been hiding in the corner, had already guessed Duan Liuming's identity. At this time, seeing that this old guy was indeed a bit disrespectful as Xingluo said, Liu Fangqing still respectfully saluted Duan Liuming: "My Temple Master is joking! Apart from the five-color chess in this world, Fangqing really couldn't think of anyone or something that could make our Lord Xingluo fascinated!"

"Haha... girl, do you still have this kind of awareness? "

"Even if you are the Master of the Temple, can you let him give up his pursuit of chess? Some things are done, and maybe there is no result in the end, but there is no reason!" Liu Fangqing's words made Duan Liuming, who originally wanted to tease this girl, tremble for no reason. Now Duan Liuming stared at Liu Fangqing for a long time, then suddenly advised his disciple: "Xingluo, no one can force you to give up his pursuit of chess, the same is true. No one can force others not to love you - even if you are yourself! Don't ask the result, don't ask the reason, where your heart is, where your body is!"

"Thank you for your teachings!" He looked at Liu Fangqing in words. Xingluo sighed silently and then pulled up Liu Fangqing's sleeves and came outside a railing in Ziyuque. Seeing that Liu Fangqing was just looking at him with affection from beginning to end, Xingluo couldn't help feeling depressed. He immediately distracted his body and looked at Fanxing all over the night. Xingluo said as if he had nothing to say: "After building from Wuxin Xiaoshu yesterday, I had already been to Fengyue Pavilion and also reported peace to Sister Feiyan and the others."

"Yeah! I was negligent yesterday..."

"You... are you still used to it at Wuxin Xiaozhu last night? I heard Sister Feiyan say: Are you not used to resting in bed elsewhere?" "Last night?" After hearing Xingluo say this, Liu Fangqing explained with a hint of laughter and crying: "I didn't sleep much last night! Princess Mingzhu kept talking to me and talked to her family. When she coaxed her to sleep, it was getting late. Later, I was so confused that I fell asleep!"

"What did the girl say in her private room?

"you!"

"What?" Liu Fangqing's brief answer made Xingluo not react for a moment. When he understood the meaning of the other party's answer, he asked in surprise: "I? I...I'm asking you to provoke you?"

"Don't you want to know what we said?" Liu Fangqing was so happy that she admired Xing Luona's somewhat nervous but still tried her best to show her as nothing. Liu Fangqing shook her head and chuckled: "Just you said, this is a private conversation between girls' families! So, I won't tell you! But I thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out: What's the point of you boy? Not only did Princess Shang Wan of the Empire have a special liking for you, but Princess Mingzhu of Yunluo Kingdom is obsessed with you?"

"Why do you want Fengyue Pavilion to say this?" Stop the conversation. Xingluo leaned against the railing helplessly. He let the night wind blow through his hair and then asked casually: "Are you scared the night before yesterday?"

"Can you not change the subject so often?" As Xingluo smiled awkwardly and bitterly, Liu Fangqing took a step further and leaned against Xingluo and murmured softly: "Xingluo, can't we have a good talk? About you, about me, about us... of course, there is her! Can't we have a good talk about our relationship? Spend 100,000 taels of silver on me, don't you have nothing to say to me? What are you thinking? What are you planning? What do you want to treat me and how do you want to treat her?"

After Liu Fangqing's repeated questioning, it seemed like a firecracker that broke out in an instant after being depressed for a long time. A shocking wave suddenly broke out in Xingluo's heart.

Turning his head, looking at Liu Fangqing beside him with tears in his eyes, and smelling the faint fragrance of his body sent by the breeze, Xingluo, who was already a little confused, couldn't help but feel even more at a loss. Compared with Tang Xiaowan, who was preconceived, Xingluo was indeed weak in love with Liu Fang. From a certain level, Xingluo didn't even have any special feelings for Liu Fangqing. The reason why he spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy Liu Fangqing's combing power was to use this to show to Emperor Longhui.

On the other hand, she didn't want Liu Fangqing to destroy her innocence on those so-called searchers who didn't know how to tell the truth. In fact, Xingluo also knew that it was better to say something like this, because as time went by, some things became increasingly difficult to explain in the end, and would bring deeper pain to the person involved. But now facing Liu Fangqing's tears and graceful cheeks, Xingluo couldn't bear to say anything to hurt her.

If there is a person who is destined to bear all his sins, let me be a sinner alone!

After making up his mind, Xingluo hugged Liu Fangqing's slim waist. Just as Liu Fangqing couldn't help but tremble all over, a sudden scream of anger came from the railing: "Okay! You big pervert! You finally got me caught it? Take my plan - Mango Fist!"

The one who could call Xingluo a "pervert" was naturally the Princess Mingzhu of Yunluo Kingdom. Originally, when Xingluo pulled Liu Fangqing out of the railing, the little girl wanted to keep up, but she was pulled tightly by Bai Yi and failed. Later, Bai Yi just clasped her fists and saluted others, and the girl had already seized the opportunity to walk away. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived outside the railing, she saw Xingluo reaching out to Liu Fangqing's waist, and with Liu Fangqing's cheeks that were still tearing, Mingzhu threw the mango on her hand to Xingluo without thinking.

Xingluo was already guilty, and when Mingzhu called him, he naturally became even more at a loss. However, before he and Liu Fangqing could explain, the mango had already drawn a beautiful arc and hit Xingluo's nose accurately.
