The impeachment of the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials in Qipin County, throughout the history of the Dayong Kingdom for a hundred years, is still the first rank, and it is also ringing as soon as it is heard, which makes the ministers more and more unbelievable. Before this, they would never have imagined that Lord Liu, who had once been beautiful, would be tripped by a sesame petty official.

It can be seen that the new emperor has not moved the Ministry of Officials and Households, not because he is afraid of pressure from hundreds of officials, but because he is looking for opportunities. When the evidence is conclusive, who dares to defend Lord Liu? The emperor has already said that the rule of officials is the foundation of controlling the country, and the rule of officials is the death of the country, and the person who intercedes for Lord Liu is the promoter of the death of the country, and the sinner of the ages. This big hat was buttoned down, not to mention the civil and military officials, even the emperor's relatives were also timid.

Who doesn't want to leave a name in history? Who would dare to leave a stench for 10,000 years? Let's let Lord Liu figure it out on his own.

Zhao County, who had the courage to speak up about the country's shortcomings, was sitting in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with anxiety and joy at this time. Because his impeachment of the Ministry of Officials was in the hands of the new emperor, he was invited by the new emperor to stay for dinner after the resignation.

The once splendid palace has now been stripped of its extravagant curtains and antique furnishings, and it looks quite empty and shabby, but there is another awe-inspiring atmosphere. The new emperor sat on the throne and stretched out his hand to invite, "Outai, Zhao County Order, please take a seat." ”

One calls his name, the other calls the official position, who is close to whom, who is far and who is close, at a glance. Youshu was very sad in her heart, the small dimples on the side of her cheeks faded, and she entered the seat solemnly, staring at a jade cup in her hand silently. The new emperor did not talk to him, but called Outai to his side and asked him in detail about the situation of this inspection.

By the time the palace people set up the meal, three quarters of an hour had passed unconsciously. Wei Chen seemed to see the predicament of Xiao Zhao's county order, and chuckled, "Now that the great and the young are waiting to be revived, the emperor advocates frugality, and the daily meal is only two meats, three vegetables and one soup." Knowing that Lord Zhao has lived a very hard life in office, this is a dish specially ordered by the emperor to be added to the imperial dining room, do you see if it suits the taste? ”

There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, and all of them are what Shu likes. His dim eyes lit up slightly, and he looked a lot more alive. Akari talked to Outai, but in fact, the new emperor who had been watching him from the corner of his eye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ou Tai teased, "Wechen is stained with the light of Zhao County's order today, otherwise the emperor can send Weichen away with only two plates of green vegetables and tofu." ”

Youshu, who was still smiling in her eyes, stiffened, and her mood fell to the bottom in an instant. If Outai didn't say it, he didn't even realize that the emperor deliberately added a few dishes in order to entertain him, which seemed to be very polite, but it was because the relationship was not close enough. If it is time to get to the Cheng dù where there is no distinction between each other, where is the need for hospitality? He eats what he eats, just like Outai, and two plates of green vegetables and tofu can be dealt with.

Even though he knew that his master had changed his identity and could not be equated with the person in his previous life, Youshu still felt sad, and somehow, he remembered King Yama, who had accompanied him all the way. He was in dire need of an empty but secure embrace right now, so that he could catch his breath when he was tired and calm down when he was confused. Unconsciously, the other party seems to have become his backbone, and if he doesn't see it, his heart is gone.

The new emperor noticed that Xiao Zhao County's order was low, and his heart that he had just put down was raised high again, racking his brains to think about what he had done wrong.

"Zhao County Order, but the food is not to taste?" He asked in a deep voice.

Youshu glanced at the new emperor quickly and shook his head slightly. The master of this life should be a very ruthless person, as early as in Lishui, he had heard that this master had a nickname in the domain - Living Yama, killing all foreign enemies, and showing no mercy to corrupt officials, and even ascending the throne, he was even more robbing the family and exterminating the clan, rectifying the government and government, and never being soft, so that the civil and military officials were afraid of him like a tiger.

Youshu naturally wants to chase the master back as soon as possible, but she also needs to grasp a good degree. If he is too eager, he will inevitably be misunderstood, and then he will be treated coldly, and he will be sent to other places at the least, or he will be dismissed from his official position and never hired. If you become a commoner, I am afraid that it will be hopeless in this life to contact this high-ranking person again.

Youshu doesn't feel that he has been with his master for two lifetimes, and the master has naturally become his own bag. You must know that every reincarnation is a new beginning, the master is not a puppet, he has his own thoughts and ideas, and he also has the right and room to choose, he can fall in love with anyone, and he does not necessarily have to be himself.

Thinking of this, his heart throbbed fiercely, but he was also full of fighting spirit.

Seeing Xiao Zhao County's order with his back bent to the extreme, like a cuizhu bent to the extreme, suddenly rebounded, tallened, straightened, and refreshed, the new emperor became more and more puzzled, but he also calmed down a little. He always felt that Xiao Zhao County Ling seemed to be a different person when facing himself in the yang world, and it was very elusive. In the past, he could guess that the other party was eight or nine points distracted, but now he was like a cloud, and he didn't know.

In order to ease the atmosphere, he had to invite everyone to dinner, because Xiao Zhao County Commander would never save sad things until after the meal. When he feels sad and sad, he eats a big meal; When you are angry and afraid, you will eat a big meal; When he is happy, he will also eat a big meal, in short, for him, there is no problem that cannot be solved by eating.

Youshu ate a piece of braised pork ribs, and after squinting and savoring for a moment, she really forgot all the troubles before. He really wanted to move to the master's side to make vegetables for him and slowly cultivate a little affection, but everyone adhered to the rule of "food is not a word", and he could only remain silent.

However, Wei Chen was very caring, and when he saw him staring at the dishes in the distance, he would take the initiative to come forward to help pick it up, but he didn't speak, only smiled slightly. Everyone has long been accustomed to this dull atmosphere, and it can be seen that the new emperor is really a strict and rigid person, and it is extremely difficult to get along with.

Youshu is depressed for a while, confused for a while, and high-spirited for a while, and her mood can be said to be up and down, sad and happy at first glance. However, he didn't know that his face had already betrayed his inner feelings, his brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed, and his cheeks were sunken, and he looked extremely funny.

Otai only glanced at it twice, and then he couldn't hold back, buried his face in the bowl, and laughed silently. He was curious about what Xiao Zhao County Ling was thinking, and why was his expression so exciting?

Also curious is Emperor Xuanguang, but his current character is cold, strict, and stereotyped, so he can only endure it. To tell the truth, Youshu is in front of King Yama and in front of the new emperor, and they are like two people, and I don't know what the origin of this change is. Emperor Xuanguang always knew that Youshu was not such a scheming person, let alone a two-faced and three-faced person, and there must be a reason for his abnormal behavior.

Youshu didn't know that she was being seen as a monkey, and she was chewing rice with her cheeks, and found that the dishes at hand were almost finished, so she realized a strict problem. After eating, it's time for the master to get rid of people, right? It's time for the time to get together, right? Will it be too short-lived?

He is now a seventh-rank sesame official, and after the debriefing and rating, he will either be released or stay in the capital, but even if he has to be reused, it is impossible to directly rise to the fourth rank, and then have the qualification to face the saint in the court. That is to say, after reuniting with the master today, I don't know how long it will take to meet.

The good appetite was suddenly gone, but Youshu couldn't put down the dishes and chopsticks. He had to eat, eat slowly, and try to make the meal as long as possible.

Emperor Xuanguang clearly felt the coveted gaze cast by Xiao Zhao County Order, as if he was some kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas, which was enough to accompany the meal. To put it more bluntly, that gaze is even a little affectionate, which is difficult to resist. Emperor Xuanguang's face was not obvious, but his heart was beating rapidly, and he repeatedly told himself that it was an illusion, Xiao Zhao County's character was simple, not to mention deliberately seducing, I was afraid that I didn't even know what it was like to like someone, so I finally suppressed the stupid-stupid-desire-move thoughts.

Ou Tai and Wei Chen also sensed that the air was heating up, but they both pretended not to know anything.

In order to delay time, Youshu even sandwiched chicken feet and duck feet into the bowl, gnawed slowly and methodically, and gnawed out a smooth skeleton to be considered willing. Outai had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and waited, and Emperor Xuanguang was slowly sipping a wine glass in order not to embarrass Xiao Zhao County. Wei Chen saw that he had eaten the fourth bowl of rice, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zhao, do you want another bowl?" ”

Youshu wanted to nod, but found that the food had reached his throat, and quickly shook his head, only then did he realize that he had left a greedy impression on his master, and he couldn't help but have red cheeks and watery eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Emperor Xuanguang asked in a deep voice, "Zhao County Order, but you are not feeling well?" Only those close to him will notice that there is a bit of anxiety and worry on his rigid face.

Youshu covered her stomach and said, "Your Majesty, it's a waste of food, and Weichen accidentally ate too much." Fortunately, he was very witty and found a good excuse, which diluted the image of the gluttonous worm.

Emperor Xuanguang put down his hanging heart and said, "I see." Wei Chen, go to Tai Hospital and ask for some digestive pills. Nowadays, the people of Dayong still don't have enough to eat, and as the head of a country, I shouldn't be extravagant and wasteful. Zhao County Ling can lead by example, and he really has a heart. The words fell to look at Outai, waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can retire first, Zhao County makes your stomach uncomfortable, so stay and take a break for the time being." ”

Outai was an informed and knowledgeable person, and hurriedly bowed down to leave.

Youshu, who was still shrouded in a cloud, immediately stopped in the clouds and rain, and the sky was clear. I never thought that after eating up, there would be such benefits, and I could stay alone with my master. This is a mistake, crooked. His heart was full of joy, and the small dimples on the side of his cheeks also loomed.

Emperor Xuanguang secretly wondered uncertainly: Is this happy? How can you be happy when you eat it? Maybe I don't know Xiao Zhao County as well as I think?

Personally helped the person to the side hall and placed him in a recliner, he put on a posture of a long talk, "Where is the ancestral home of Zhao County Ling?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is a person from the capital."

"Where do you want to go this transfer? Released or left in Beijing? ”

Youshu naturally wanted to stay in the capital, but she was worried that her master had other arrangements, so she had to say in a muffled voice, "But it depends on the emperor's dispatch." Whatever the emperor asks Weichen to do, Weichen will do, and wherever he wants to send Weichen, Weichen will go. For the sake of the emperor, Weichen was willing to go to the soup and die without giving up. ”

Every word of his words was from the bottom of his heart, and his feelings were sincere, and a pair of black eyes looked straight at him, which actually made Emperor Xuanguang have the illusion that he was his whole world. However, an illusion is an illusion after all, Emperor Xuanguang knows Youshu better than anyone else, he is a typical hot on the outside and cold on the inside, he looks well-behaved and docile, but in fact he is extremely vigilant, and it takes a lot of energy to pry open a little bit of defense.

This also highlights the strangeness of this situation. According to Shu's character of not being humble or arrogant, and being upright, he really can't do things that are slapping horses and pleasing people. So the question is, what exactly is he thinking now? Do you really admire me? Emperor Xuanguang was quite confused, and it was even more difficult to parry Youshu, who was as enthusiastic as fire and sweet as honey, so he had to change the topic stiffly.

"I've been waiting in Beijing for more than half a month, how do you pass the time on weekdays?"

Youshu never lies in front of her master. He recalled it carefully, his cheeks slowly reddened, and he muttered, "I just eat, sleep, play, but I didn't do anything." If time could be turned back, he would definitely study carefully every day, so that his master would be impressed.

That's right, this is the Youshu I know, who does not deceive or hide, and has something to say. Emperor Xuanguang nodded secretly and continued to ask, "What did you play?" ”

If it is a different person, he will definitely pass this sentence, and then flaunt how diligent he is. But Youshu is too sincere, knowing that it is inappropriate, but still stubbornly said, "Emperor Qi, Weichen loves to play with insects, so he catches scarabs, fights crickets or something." ”

Sure enough, I don't know how to lie, and even this little hobby dares to say it in front of the emperor. Emperor Xuanguang smiled secretly in his heart, and he couldn't wait to pull Xiao Zhao County Commander over and rub it twice.

If you had known that your master would inquire about her movements these days, she should not have stayed to eat, but she should not lie to her master, so she could only ask what she would answer and what she said. Half an hour later, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and walked out of the Qianqing Palace, went home and sat by the window, suddenly hehe, stupid, suddenly scratching his ears and cheeks, his expression was very entangled.

King Yama appeared at this time and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Youshu has long been accustomed to the other party's sudden temptation, pretending that she is unaware. He has to find a way to stay in the capital now, so that he can have a chance to see his master, and if he is released, he will not want to come back for at least three or five years. Three or five years is not long, but it is not short, who can guarantee that no accidents will happen? By the way, the master is twenty-five or six this year, right? Is there a concubine? Thinking of this, he felt like he had eaten a whole lemon, his face was wrinkled, and his heart was even more sour.

Seeing that he refused to take care of himself, the king of Yama did not smile as before, but reached out and pinched his cheek vigorously, "What do you want?" His face was wrinkled into a little old man. After meeting him in reality, he found that he couldn't guess Xiao Zhao's mind more and more, this feeling was extremely bad, and he had to make up for it.

Youshu's slightly fattened cheeks were torn out of shape, and tears hung on her eyelashes and trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be fine.

King Yama was made to cry and laugh by him, and his other hand also covered it, grabbing both sides of his cheeks, "Don't play stupid, this king has always known that you have yin and yang eyes." ”

Sure enough, I know! Youshu couldn't tell whether she was more nervous and scared, or more relieved, so she quickly patted the back of his hand and said vaguely, "Let go, can't I pretend otherwise?" ”

"You entered the palace today?" King Yama pinched his soft cheeks with great emotion, and then let go. The two have already cultivated a lot of tacit understanding along the way, and even if they just pierce the fact that they can see each other, they get along very easily and casually.

Youshu didn't answer and asked, "Did the emperor have a concubine?" For a seven-rank sesame official, the matter of the emperor's harem is as far away as myths and legends, and he didn't deliberately inquire about it before, let alone talk about it casually.

"What is this, you ask? Did you see Emperor Xuanguang today? How does it feel? King Yama's eyes flashed slightly, and he inadvertently let out a trace of nervousness.

Youshu didn't notice it because she had something on her mind, and stubbornly asked, "Is the emperor married?" ”

"What does it matter to you whether he gets married or not?"

Youshu lowered her head, a layer of brilliant red slowly spread from her ears to her neck, and her hands subconsciously grabbed the jade pendant on her waist and repeatedly pulled the silk silk under it. This little daughter's posture was very abnormal, which made King Yama instantly comprehend, and said in disbelief, "Are you ...... What do you have for Emperor Xuanguang? ”

So, that's why he's losing shape so often today? Now that I think about it, his various expressions are just like a teenager who is eager to please his sweetheart, revealing a bit of embarrassment and eagerness. However, he has only met Emperor Xuanguang once, but he has accompanied him through thousands of rivers and mountains, even if he likes it, he should like himself first!

Knowing that Emperor Xuanguang belonged to the same person as himself, King Yama was finally uneasy, and asked, "What do you like about him?" Power? Status? Looks? Wouldn't it be too superficial? Of course, what surprised him the most was that Xiao Zhao County Ling actually liked men, which made him worry for a long time. Knowing this, he should have started when he was in Suichang County.

Youshu hurriedly defended, "Of course not." Like is like, what's the reason? ”

"You've only met once, haven't you? Why do you like it? This king accompanies you on a trek through mountains and rivers, all the way, why don't you like this king? "The king of Yama didn't know who he was angry with, but he was very unhappy.

"Isn't that what the so-called Ten Thousand Years of Eyes is all about?" Youshu tangled and said, "Thank you for your protection and companionship all the way, I also like ......" Before he finished speaking, he was shocked: It turned out that this person's status in his heart was almost equal to that of his master. Even when he reunites with his master, he can't help but think of each other, and desperately longs for each other's hugs and comfort, even if the hug is illusory and the comfort is wordless.

What's wrong with you? How could he be half-hearted towards Qin Duchu? Youshu seems to have been struck by lightning, opening her mouth, and it is difficult to speak; Blinking, wanting to cry without tears, his expression is embarrassed and guilty.

King Yama's eyes were like torches, how could he not find his abnormality, and revealed it in one word, "Could it be that you also like this king?" At this moment, he really didn't know what to say. This little thing not only likes himself in the yang world, but also likes himself in the underworld, should he praise him for his vision, or accuse him of being greedy and insufficient? But no matter what, his sour mood has been completely diluted, and he has become angry and funny.

Youshu never admitted that she was a half-hearted person, and waved her hand with a blushing face, "What I like about you is friendship, which is different." As soon as the words fell, he was immediately persuaded by himself, and nodded his head firmly, "Yes, it's friendship." You're my first friend, so it's important. ”

So what is your heart empty? The king of Yama did not break it, and followed him down and said, "I see. In other words, do you admit that your liking for Emperor Xuanguang is the love of men and women? ”

Youshu nodded, with a look of lovelessness. His mind didn't seem to be very bright in front of this man and his master, and he was always put in a cage with just a few words.

"You are a minister, he is a king, what can you do if you like him?" The king of Yama continued to tempt.

"I can always pursue him slowly, right? What if I impress him one day? Youshu's eyes were firm. Until the last moment, he will never give up, even if the master is married in this life, he can silently like it in his heart, watching it from afar, isn't this a kind of happiness?

"You're going to pursue him?" King Yama's tone rose slightly, if the obstacle was removed, Youshu would find that his current expression revealed three points of pleasure, three points of bad taste, three points of expectation, and a point of deep laughter. He has always been high, and he has never been passionately pursued by anyone, and his heart is already itching when he thinks about it.

"Hmm." Youshu Wu thought to herself, and muttered, "I have to find a way to stay in the capital for now, so that I can have a chance." "As for what to do in the future, we can only take one step at a time and let it be.

"Don't worry, you'll get your wish." King Yama rubbed his head full of green silk and added, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, Emperor Xuanguang is not married yet, and he has no concubines, so you still have a chance." ”

The boulder in his heart fell to the ground suddenly, and Youshu showed a frightened expression, leaned back on the chair, and slapped his chest again and again.

King Yama found that he could hardly suppress the joy in his heart, and the low laughter had swung back and forth in his throat a few times, and was swallowed hard. If he continued to talk to Xiao Zhao County Order, he would definitely lose his temper on the spot. He had never met such a person, who seemed to be smart, but in fact he was stupid, occasionally upright, occasionally cautious, and looked the same for a while, but he was endearing in everything. In this way, he wanted to tease him more and more, to see what he would do to pursue himself.

Holding his fist to his lips and suppressing a full smile, King Yama said in a dumb voice, "There are still many official affairs to be dealt with in the underworld, and this king is one step ahead." ”

Youshu didn't have time to stay, and the tall figure of the man disappeared in front of him. He looked around in a hurry, and found that it was already dark, and the room was very dark and lonely, so he hurriedly took out the fire fold in the drawer and lit the candle. The candle flame was blown by the wind, and the light flickered on and off, which made him panic in an instant. Will the people who used to be with you all night come again in the future? Do you think that you like Longyang and are an outlier? Will you be disgusted with yourself?

He wanted to find a lampshade to surround the candles, and as soon as he got up, he heard the ancestor report outside, "Master, the family of three in the second room is here, and now they are lying outside the door, do you want to see it?" ”

Youshu, who was looking for something to do, so as not to be cranky, immediately beckoned, "Let them in." ”
