Out of the Wenhua Palace, Zhou Yanru couldn't help but think: "When the emperor said the last sentence, why was he always looking at us intentionally or unintentionally?" He's looked at us like this more than once, what does he mean?

Could it be that Wen Tiren gave us eye medicine again? It shouldn't be, after Wen Tiren relied on us to enter the cabinet, he didn't say bad things about us in front of the emperor, which time didn't the emperor protect us? So, why is that? ”

Asking himself, Zhou Yanru couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Xu Guangqi has a leak?" It should be, this Xu Guangqi is full of knowledge, but he is far from being an official, maybe he inadvertently sold us in front of the emperor. If that's the case, wouldn't it be self-defeating? ”

I was thinking about it, but I heard someone ask, "What is Shousuke-sama thinking?" ”

Zhou Yanru didn't need to look to know that it was Xu Guangqi, and he was the only one in the entire court who could speak like this.

"He must have attracted everyone's attention if he was so reckless, isn't this not a self-confession? Alas, why do these scholars like to be different like this, I really don't know what they think? ”

Thinking secretly, Zhou Yanru hurriedly raised his head, and the rest of his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, as expected, he subconsciously walked slowly, pretending to meet by chance, and lowered his voice: "Have you seen the emperor?" ”

Xu Guangqi didn't care, just looked at Zhou Yanru apologetically, and said loudly: "I've seen it, and the lower officials have done their best, I'm really sorry." ”

Zhou Yanru quietly pulled his official robe, and reminded almost to himself: "Don't always stare at me, talk as you go, be quiet." ”

"Why is that? It seems that Shousuke-sama is not happy. Xu Guangqi thought secretly, becoming more and more uneasy, and saw that Zhou Yanru had quickened his pace and had already distanced himself from him, so he hurriedly followed again.

"Alas, he is full of learning, full of inspiration, and is an official, but why is he so wooden?" Zhou Yanru sighed secretly, and asked as he walked: "What did you say, and what did the emperor say?" ”

Xu Guangqi had no choice but to walk and said solemnly: "When the lower officials went to see the emperor, the emperor was reviewing the chapters. The emperor met with the lower officials and asked, is there something wrong with Xu Aiqing? The lower official told him what Shousuke-sama had entrusted him.

The emperor asked again, what is your relationship with this Sun Yuanhua? Xia Guan thought, yes, Xia Guan and Sun Yuanhua don't know each other, how can they have a relationship? He said that he was commissioned by Lord Shousuke.

The emperor said, I know, you can go. The lower official had nothing else to do, so he took his leave and left. Alas, I don't want this to be the result, it's really a shame for Lord Shousuke. ”

"Alas, like you, it's not as simple as having a negative trust, you simply killed me." Zhou Yanru thought to himself, too lazy to blame him, and said, "Okay, I know, you can go back, it's okay, thank you very much." ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was relieved, lest he delay his studies, so he flew away.

Zhou Yanru watched him walk away, shook his head and blamed himself: "What the hell am I going to find him?" After his trouble, the emperor may not think of us? ”

dispersed, Chongzhen was still angry. After pacing slowly for a while, Leng Buding remembered Xu Guangqi again, and couldn't help laughing: "This old guy, without looking at his own embarrassment, actually ran to me to plead for mercy."

This Zhou Yanru seems to be in a hurry to jump off the wall, how could he think of finding such a person to intercede? If I hadn't believed you, how would I have ended up? ”

Thinking about it, Chongzhen seemed to have seen Zhou Yanru's angry appearance, and actually laughed gloatingly.

After laughing, there was a faint trace of sympathy, and then he thought: "Zhou Yanru is also a human being, who is a human being, which one will be selfless?" It's a pity that this Zhou Yanru has cultivated a Wen Tiren who is staring at him, even if he is selfish, how dare he make a slight move?

Therefore, Xu Guangqi was entrusted with such a second goods to intercede. Why bother? Intercession for others is actually a manifestation of affection, and even if you come in person, I will not blame you.

Alas, how could I not know that the two guys of Shaanxi Dao Yu Yinggui and Li Mengchen in the military department had done something from it, but if they don't die, how can I control other officials with evil intentions? ”

Just as he was sighing, a eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Tiren asks to see you." ”

Why did Wen Tiren come here? It turned out that as soon as Wen Tiren returned home, his "own people" followed closely and said, "It's time to launch the final blow to Zhou Yanru, the old fox, I really can't wait." ”

The reason why his "own people" said this was because they understood Wen Tiren's mind and wanted to show it in front of him as soon as possible, so as to get a piece of the pie after he was promoted to the first assistant.

Wen Tiren naturally understands what they mean, but Wen Tiren believes that this is the true meaning of the relationship between people, and without mutual use, there can be no contact between people at all.

Of course, Wen Tiren is also anxious, but the stakes are very high, and Wen Tiren is not sure, he is seriously weighing the pros and cons. Hearing them say this, he said "oh" and said with interest: "Tell me, how can you say that the time has come?" ”

When these "own people" of his heard this, they scrambled to talk about it, and in a short time they listed a large number of facts.

Wen Tiren said: "What everyone says is just some phenomena, not even evidence, I said before that Zhou Yanru can't be brought down with these." ”

Saying that, seeing the disappointment on everyone's faces, lest it dampen their enthusiasm, he said: "However, you can also see the essence through the phenomenon, and through what everyone said, at least it can show that Zhou Yanru is far less powerful than in the past." ”

After speaking, seeing that they were excited again, they were infected, and their expectations burned like fire, so they paused and said, "Okay, I'll go into the palace to see the emperor." ”

Although Chongzhen didn't know, he guessed that he must have come to sue Zhou Yanru again, and secretly thought: "If that's the case, let's just interrupt him and let him go back." ”

Thinking secretly, Chongzhen went to sit down and said, "Let him come in." ”

Smelling the let-in, Wen Tiren pulled Wang Kun, the eunuch of Xuanfu who was called by the way, and the two came in together, knelt down and saluted.

"Why did he call Wang Kunlai?" Chongzhen secretly wondered, and said, "If you have something to say, get up and say it." ”

Wang Kun said: "The slave had something to report to the emperor, so he called Master Wen to testify." ”

"Oh, it turned out that he had something to report, let him say it." Chongzhen thought secretly, relieved himself, and said, "Okay, just say it." ”

Wang Kun paused for a moment and said: "There is now such a wild saying as 'Emperor Xi' is circulating outside, and the servants heard that Lord Shoufu was preaching everywhere, saying that it was made up by the emperor, I don't know if it is true or not?" ”

Chongzhen had also heard of this wild saying, but he didn't know that it was Wang Kun who made it up at the behest of Wen Tiren to pass it on to Zhou Yanru, and couldn't help but think: "Old Zhou, how do you fight with Lao Wen, I don't care, but how can you casually damage my image?" ”

Secretly complained, and said, "Go and call Zhou Yanru to confront you." ”

Zhou Yanru was sullen, heard the rumors, hurriedly came in, and saw that it was actually for this, knowing that it must be Wen Tiren who was making a fuss, but he was speechless for a while.

Wen Tiren smiled secretly, and without waiting for him to speak, he said: "Chen Wen Tiren recently learned that the reason why the Shaanxi giant thief God Yikui is rampant is said to be because he once bribed Lord Shoufu. ”

Zhou Yanru thought secretly: "Our people are about to let him be cleaned up, if we don't retreat bravely, I'm afraid he won't stop, that's it, so what's the point of us even if we don't retreat bravely?" Hmph, for officials, it is inevitable that the rapid retreat is not a good trick to save your life. ”

made up his mind and looked up at Chongzhen, but when he saw Chongzhen's difficult face, he was grateful, and said emotionally: "Your Majesty, the minister has always been unwell recently, and the minister suspects that he is seriously ill, so he begs the emperor to read it to Yanru to serve the emperor hard, and the quasi-minister will return to his hometown." ”

"Yanru, you actually understand me." Chongzhen sighed secretly and said, "Yes, after Yanru reported his illness, Wen Tiren took over as the first assistant." ”

Wen Tiren was ecstatic, but pretended to be calm and said: "Minister Wen Tiren thanks the emperor for cultivation." After speaking, seeing that Chongzhen was still looking at himself, he understood and thought secretly: "Hmph, since you are interested, why should we get you again?" ”

Thinking secretly, he said: "What Tiren said is just hearsay, and it shouldn't have been said." ”

When Chongzhen and Zhou Yanru heard this, they both smiled without knowing what they meant.
