13. Like a stealing fox
Gao Zixin's tone was very light, so light that it gave Ripples the illusion of gentleness.
So she couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "It's not my fault, you can't punish me!" After saying this, the ghost made a mistake, and she suddenly looked at Feng Xuan, her eyes full of anticipation.
Gao Zixin saw that she not only did not admit her mistake, but stared at Feng Xuan directly, and she was even more angry in her heart, feeling that her face was hot, and the emperor's face was completely gone.
Tie Qing's face was blue, Gao Zixin didn't bother to look at her anymore, and only said to Huanxi: "Hold on!" ”
Joyful and understanding, he immediately called two powerful eunuchs to catch the ripples. Ripple panicked instantly when she saw them, she looked at Gao Zixin in disbelief, her face was full of strong unwillingness to "you actually treated me like this", and Gao Zixin was speechless for a while.
It was the first time he had seen such a bold and reckless person who did not know how to advance or retreat. Although Feng Xuan is also very arrogant, Gao Zixin feels that Feng Xuan is much more comfortable than Ripples.
At least Feng Xuan has the capital to be arrogant, and she also knows how to advance and retreat, and she will never be disgusted, but it can ripple ...... This self-righteous attitude really makes people wonder how she survived to be big!
Gao Zixin has lived in this dangerous palace since he was a child, and there is an emperor Lao Tzu who has a suspicious personality and likes to kill his son, and he is trembling all day long, for fear that he will accidentally attract the taboo of Emperor Lao Tzu, and he will never see the sun the next day.
There are big rules in the palace, so he takes it for granted that the same is true in other places. So in his opinion, it is a miracle that a character like Ripple can live to be big!
He did not have the ability to predict the future, but he did not know that a thousand years later, all people would worship freedom, and the character he had developed would naturally be lawless in his eyes.
Ripple wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, with her small body, she was restrained before she could struggle. As soon as she opened her mouth, Huanxi pinched her paws, and only heard the sound of "click", and her jaw bone was directly removed, and she couldn't scream if she wanted to.
Then, she was dragged out.
But even if she left, Gao Zixin's face was still very ugly, and she couldn't even stay in this place, so she directly invited Feng Xuan to the Winter Warm Pavilion next door.
Feng Xuan didn't have any opinion on this, but thinking of the bold style of the ripples just now, his eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked and he smiled dangerously.
When the two of them passed, the Winter Warm Pavilion had already been taken care of. Gao Zixin invited Feng Xuan to sit down, this time there were no ripples, and the palace people finally didn't make any mistakes when they served tea and snacks.
It's just that Gao Zixin never forgot the scene of being embarrassed in front of Feng Xuan just now, and he didn't feel comfortable sitting in the chair, and he didn't even dare to look at Feng Xuan's face
Feng Xuan looked at the clear and fragrant tea in the tea bowl, and said softly: "The minister is going to teach His Majesty, so don't be distracted." ”
He deliberately didn't mention what happened just now, only talked about the lecture, and sure enough, Gao Zixin's attention was quickly attracted to the lecture, and he finally stopped thinking about the incident just now.
Feng Xuan looked at Gao Zixin's expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and was very satisfied with Gao Zixin's knowledge of current affairs.
Although he doesn't like Gao Zixin very much now, he also faintly regards him as his own property, but he doesn't want Gao Zixin to think about an inexplicable woman.
Especially a palace maid with little status!
Feng Xuan's heart is very small, he will not forget it, the palace maid was "eyebrows" with Gao Zixin for a while before she was taken away.
As for the gaze that ripples cast at him, Feng Xuan directly ignored it thoroughly.
There are many men and women in this world who like his appearance, but he can't remember a little palace maid. If it weren't for Ripple and Gao Zixin's "eyebrows", he would not have been able to take this woman to heart.
Successfully attracted Gao Zixin's attention, Feng Xuan began to ponder, what to talk about next.
The subset of scriptures and histories is good, but it can't help Gao Zixin immediately, so it's better to ...... than spend time on these things
So, just in Gao Zixin's expectation, Feng Xuan suddenly said: "I heard that the national treasury has been empty recently, and even the military salary can't be paid......"
Feng Xuan's voice is getting lower and lower, there is no way, Gao Zixin's face is too ugly! The resentment and dissatisfaction around him almost condensed into substance. Feng Xuan intuitively felt that if he continued to talk about it, Gao Zixin might not be able to help but kill the teacher!
So he changed the topic: "Although this matter is troublesome, it is not without a solution." ”
Gao Zixin's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Feng Xuan expectantly: "Is what the national teacher said true?" ”
The attitude is so kind that it is as if the person who exudes resentment and keeps flying at Feng Xuan just now is not him.
Feng Xuan smiled, looking calm and calm, and the world was under control: "The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty, there is indeed an idea, but this method is a bit unpopular in the world, if it is really implemented, I am afraid that there will be many people in the court who oppose it." ”
As soon as Gao Zixin heard this, he felt a little apprehensive in his heart. What kind of method is it that defies the world's condemnation?
However, he really didn't have a good countermeasure at the moment, so he could only ask Feng Xuan: "The national teacher might as well talk about it first, if the method is good, I will naturally use it." ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Xuan slapped a dragon fart slightly, and when she saw that Gao Zixin was so shy that her mouth pursed, she suddenly smiled even deeper, "Now the treasury is empty, but there are many wealthy businessmen in the world." The merchant status is low, and he cannot participate in the imperial examination, so he can only spend money to buy an official and a half-job, or seek refuge in the clan. ”
When Gao Zixin heard this, his face turned ugly again: "Are you saying that those businessmen can buy an official position for just a few dollars?" Outrageous! Those people are court officials, and they don't want to serve the court, so they actually sell their official positions! I must kill them! ”
Feng Xuan saw that his face turned red with excitement, and he couldn't help but shake his head, and waited for Gao Zixin to calm down a little before continuing: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient, now that the time comes, you can naturally kill those silverfish." ”
How did Gao Zixin not know this? It's just a moment of anger and a few cruel words to vent.
After Feng Xuan said this, he had completely calmed down, and pondered what Feng Xuan had just said: "The national teacher deliberately mentioned the matter of businessmen buying officials, and he must have already had an opinion, so it is better to talk about it." ”
Feng Xuan looked at him with a cold face and pretended to be old, his heart became more and more itchy, but his face did not show anything, but said seriously: "The minister just thinks that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the whole world belongs to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty is willing to give grace to these merchants, they naturally know how to choose. ”
Gao Zixin understood, and his face couldn't help but become complicated: "What do you mean...... Could it be that I want to sell my official position? ”
Feng Xuan smiled incomprehensibly: "How can Your Majesty be a traitor?" His Majesty only needs to reward them according to merit. ”
As for what this merit and reward is, he doesn't say it, Gao Zixin also understands.
Gao Zixin smiled like a stealing fox: "I understand, the national teacher is really talented." ”
