Chapter 42: Good Birds Choose Trees
For a moment, Liu Qu's eyebrows were twisted, and then a bit of sharpness slowly flowed out of his eyes, as if he was judging something.
Zhao Xing felt that she had burst into tears, and her mouth was full of salty taste.
She was startled, afraid that he would see something, so she reluctantly swallowed the faint blood foam in her mouth before she could speak.
Her hand was hot, and he took her hand and lifted her up.
"Yes, you saved this king, so this king returned your long-cherished wish, isn't it right? Haven't you always wanted to ask for the people's lives? β
Liu Qu's voice was low, and he asked in her ear with a strength that only the two of them could hear, and there seemed to be a hint of pampering in his tone.
It was as if she were just a cat and a dog that he had raised, and when he got angry and threw a tantrum with his paws, he came up and touched his head gently as a sign of comfort.
"Yes, An Shi wants to ask for the people's life. Ann Shi, thank you, Master. β
Zhao Xing quietly withdrew her hand and closed her eyes vigorously, as if this way she could erase those pasts, Liu Qu, why do I still have to meet you in the end?
She opened her eyes, the moisture in her eyes had faded, and she slowly raised her head and looked up at her, a smile on her lips.
Liu went to be stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over the empty palm of his hand, Fang settled down, paced a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said loudly, "From now on, pass on the will of the king, and Jin Feng Yizi Di crown Zhang Manqian is the Taihang Ling Da Honglu, and the C-character Xuanguan Sang Hongyang is the lieutenant Shaofu Zhijinwu." β
He was stunned, "As for Zhang Anshi, the winner of the current emperor's appointment, he was promoted to Lang Zhongling, and he was also crowned as the governor of the Gyeonggi court." Due to the fact that there have been many cases of unjust imprisonment in this dynasty in recent years, Zhang Anshi was specially appointed to the post of Gyeonggi Court Lieutenant first, and Lang Zhong will be ordered to take up his post next year. β
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xing clearly felt that the entire hall was filled with an abrupt and strange feeling.
She was also shocked.
Liu Qu actually sealed her two official positions in one go?
Originally, according to the official position of the Western Han Dynasty, her Lang Zhongling was naturally bigger than Zhang Manqian's Taihang Ling Dahonglu and Sang Hongyang's lieutenant Shaofu Zhijinwu!
But why did you let her be the Gyeonggi court lieutenant in the first place?
Zhao Xing pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that Yang Chengzhu had told her that the position of this court lieutenant was to manage the world's Xing Prison. Every year, the total number of Han prison breaks must be summarized to Tingwei.
Even if there are difficult cases in the prefectures and counties, they must also report to the court lieutenant for sentencing, and at the same time, the court lieutenant often sends personnel to handle some important cases for the locality. In short, the power of the court lieutenant seems to be quite large, and he can even reject the judgment opinions put forward by the emperor and the three dukes if necessary.
However, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have not been so successful. Not to mention the far, the near Ji Di also rose step by step to the position of the right wind after the emperor hired and won the championship.
But today, not only her, but even Zhang Manqian and Sang Hongyang have obviously raised a lot of official ranks.
Why did he? Still two? Zhao Xing's eyes moved secretly, and he pondered in his heart: And it seems that the drunkard does not mean to drink, it is obvious that Liu still values this court captain. Seem...... The so-called Lang Zhongling is just to take care of her first face.
Also, what is the purpose of the arrangement of Zhang Manqian and Sang Hongyang?
The martial arts officials above the hall also had their eyes flying wrong, and the undercurrents fluctuated.
Zhao Xing's brain nucleus was buzzing and huddled, surprised and happy, suspicious and confused, but he didn't dare to look at others on the cusp of the storm, only a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Zhang Manqian, Sang Hongyang knocks on the Taishi, the Taishi is a thousand years old."
Zhao Xing was stunned, and hurriedly followed behind and shouted vigorously to hide the expression on his face.
Subsequently, Liu Qu announced the successful conclusion of the imperial appointment.
Everyone retreated, he ordered her and took her to the Xuande Palace.
In the Xuande Palace,
At that time, only she, Xiahou Eleven, Xiahou Thirteen, Shi Qing and the old man he saw in the inn that day.
Zhao Xing now understands that these people are Liu Qu's cronies, and if he thinks that Xiahou 11 and 13 will also be the rumored Guangchuan Dai King Liu Wen and the crown prince Liu Ju.
However, what made him feel like a cheat was that he didn't expect this old man to be Liu Qu's uncle - Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin!
Thinking about that day, she was kicked out by the people in his house, and said that she was touching porcelain. Alas.
After entering, everyone sat down one after another. Only she was confused and restless, and she was in the middle of the pestle, not daring to move.
Liu went to sit on the high rosewood chair behind the desk, and did not ask her to sit or anything else, but his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at her.
Look at what, look at your sister!
Zhao Xing felt as if she had been called to the office by the teaching director to give a lecture. I secretly muttered in my heart: this person is cunning and insidious, and he is also super good at disguise, what is this called...... It's simply a collection of foxes, wild leopards, jackals, chameleons, creepers, and tigers.
Yes, he's a beast of beasts.
She looked at him, but her mind was constantly thinking about how to skin and skin the battle beast of the beast, well, and, castrate.
"Zhang Anshi, are you secretly scolding this king in your heart again?"
When she heard this, she quickly shook her head, put on a humble and gentle appearance, and replied, "Wechen doesn't dare, the Taishi is really sacred and inviolable in Wechen's heart." β
It's inviolable, it's just that you can fry it alive and put it in a pot under water, hum.
Liu Qu raised the tail of his eyes and sneered, "As far as your little cub's ghost thoughts, this king can't see it?" Why, if you are a big official, you don't laugh at a single one, are you unwilling? β
Zhao Xing thought to herself: Dead crickets, your eyes are poisonous! Lao Tzu went home tonight and began to practice a handsome guy's special expression in the mirror! Let you see, let you see! I don't believe you can see anything!
Thinking about it, she hurriedly caused trouble and said: "Taishi is wise, Weichen is by no means disagreeable to Taishi, but he has some emotion in his heart, if he could have recognized him in Xiahou Mansion earlier, he might have saved today's twists and turns." β
Ruyin Hou Xiahou laughed quite a long time, and said, "The A-word Tianguan is blaming the old man, right?" I'm really sorry. The master had already confessed, but the old man forgot to tell the housekeeper. He thought you were a liar, so he casually scolded you, just because although Taishi and Huo Hou are both old husbands and nephews, they have noble status, many guards, and good martial arts, so they don't look like they were saved by a descendant like you. β
What do you mean by "an offspring like you"? Zhao Xing cursed in her heart, and said "It's okay".
Liu Qu didn't bother to bother with her, so he asked her to sit down.
At this time, Liu Ju patted his chest and said, "Master, you really scared me to death." Today's good show, you have already colluded with the ugly monsters, right? β
Liu Wen wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "I'm the one who was scared to death, okay?" Had nightmares all night. Do you remember what the second brother said before? If Sang Hongyang can't win, he will kill me. β
Liu went and said: "Today is just a fluke, this king and Jiazi Tianguan did not make an appointment, only let Qi Song bring a few words to him." β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then heard Liu Qu smile lowly, and said, "Zhang Anshi, you and You Fufeng seem to have a lot to do with each other. β
He just came at will, but Zhao Xing was almost so startled by him that he slid off the chair.
She hurriedly knelt down, did not hide it, and told the story of the silent intersection. Of course, it omits the part where she used drunkenness to commit murder and sing. It's too much to detract from her prestige.
As he was talking, he only heard Liu Qu say: "Oh, what about Zhang Manqian?" Last night, this king saw you quietly look at him many times, why? β
There was a thin smile in his voice, and it sounded like a casual question.
Zhao Xing was already secretly trembling, and the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat again.
It is said that a companion is like a tiger, according to her, how can a tiger be as powerful as this cricket that is accustomed to disguise! If she was scared like this again, she would have to be scared out of heart disease by this man.
Lying should be fast, she didn't dare to think deeply, and applied what she had said to Ji Huang that day, and said: "That day, Weichen thought that there must always be a reliance on this exam, how did I know that Zhang Manqian didn't look down on me and refused to introduce me to Youfufeng." Weichen was resentful of him, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. Today, I have the grace of the Taishi, and I will never think about him again, and I will only serve the Taishi you wholeheartedly in the future. β
Among lies, the most difficult thing to distinguish is the truth from the false. She took a bold leap and said the idea that she had thought of taking refuge in Ji Di to increase her credibility, but she brought her love for Zhang Manqian with hatred, and only hoped that Liu would be able to believe it!
There was silence all around, and naturally no one would speak for her at this moment.
Knowing Liu Qu's identity, her viscera and blood were impacted, and the old disease that had fallen in Nanyang County suddenly flared up again, and at this moment, her heart tightened, and the salty smell surged up her throat again. She lowered her head and did not dare to move.
After a while, Fang heard Liu Qu and said lightly: "Well, let's raise the word Jiatian, this king now asks you one last question, why are you so hostile to Ah Tao?" β
Zhao Xing's feet were weak, her body was already attached to the chair, and when she heard the words, she almost fell down. Fight! She gritted her teeth, looked up and smiled, and said, "It is said that there is no love and hate in this world for no reason, but I heard that someone falls in love at first sight, so why is it not evil at first sight?" I know she's a good person, but I don't like it, just like I saved you that night, just because I liked it. β
"Bold! Zhang Anshi, you dare to cross-examine the Taishi! Don't forget that you are a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and it is your duty to save the master from danger! As soon as Gongsun Hong drank it, he stood up suddenly, showing that he was very angry.
Liu Qu twisted his eyebrows.
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, it was rare to see Liu Qu's look, and when they saw it in the palace, it was when Zhang Anshi was crying, and now it was ...... This An Shi is also a skill.
But at the same time, I saw that the smile in his eyes was slowly gone, and said: "Zhang Anshi, in this world, some people can have the right to hate others, but some people can't even express joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Got it? β
"People say that this is the protΓ©gΓ© of Right Fufeng and that is the protΓ©gΓ© of Zuo Fengling. In this way, you Zhang Anshi can also be regarded as my Liu Qu's apprentice and Guangchuan Huiwang's protΓ©gΓ©. These few words are the first lesson that this king has taught you. β
Zhao Xing bowed his head, knocked his forehead to the ground, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Weichen understands." Taishi likes Ah Tao girl, and Weichen will never dare to offend in the future. If there is a violation, the penalty will be given. β
"Oh, Zhang Anshi, master, I'm not used to your current minion appearance. However, Master's words are always correct, and you must listen to them. Liu Ju muttered with a grin.
Everyone saw Liu Qu suddenly stand up, his eyes were slightly gloomy, as if he wanted to say something to Zhang Anshi.
At this time, Qi Song's slightly helpless voice came from outside the door, "Taishi, Concubine Rong and Princess Shiyi ask to see you." β
Everyone was surprised, and Liu went only to let Qi Song open the door.
"Rong'er, you are so bold! This is the Xuande Palace, the place where the Taishi handles government affairs on behalf of the emperor, without the call of the Taishi, how can you come when you come! When Xiahou Rong and Liu Le saw Liu Qu, Xiahou blew his beard and glared at him and reprimanded.
Zhao Xing looked at it, only to feel that this Xiahou Rongxing's face was peachy, delicate, so beautiful, and it seemed a little familiar when she looked at it.
