After answering a few more questions selectively, Master Yuan finally decided to end this torturous conversation.

When he turned to leave, I sat on the bed and shook my head and sighed, filled with admiration.

"In the end, ginger is still old and spicy!"

For the first time in my life, I felt that it was so difficult for people to communicate with each other.

I have to admit that Lao Yuan is indeed very profound, and he never speaks according to the routine, and a series of rhetorical questions forced me to retreat, and I unconsciously fell into his context, and finally almost gave the size of his pants and told him.

However, the conversation was not without results, and I finally learned two good news.

First, it is inevitable that my family will be implicated, and His Royal Highness has ordered my mother and little sister to be brought to the mansion to live temporarily, and other arrangements will be made after the real culprit is caught.

The second is that Lord Yuan decided to let me stay by my side and be his attendant at the feast after discussing with the Third Highness, as a reward for me for saving the Third Prince.

Although I repeatedly emphasized to Lord Yuan that I was just a shopkeeper who had read a few books roughly, although I knew a few more words than other wild boys from poor backgrounds, if I was really asked to do my studies seriously, it would really be a bottle of water that was not satisfied, and half a bottle of water was swaying.

Besides, I don't have any other skills, and my biggest ability is that as long as I take a look at those four books and five classics, a subset of scriptures and histories, I can fall asleep immediately, and I can sleep very well.

Who knew that the old Yuan Tou not only did not have the slightest intention of changing his ways, but applauded again and again, praising me for my good skills, and I also wanted to learn it, so that after I recovered, I quickly began to draft a piece of experience and share it with him.

As a result, I had no choice but to obey my orders respectfully, and became the Jiupin attendant of the National Prison registered in the Ministry of Officials.

Don't look at this as just a small official with sesame mung beans, but it has extraordinary significance to me.

Because the regulations of my dynasty on the treatment of princes are completely different from those of previous dynasties, the princes of the previous dynasty will either be canonized as princes and enter the East Palace when they reach adulthood, or they will be crowned kings and leave the capital.

However, this will also bring a problem, because according to the etiquette system, the prince who has not been crowned king or established as a prince is not allowed to have a subordinate official, so even if I have great merit, the third prince cannot directly reward me with a meritorious name.

But now, Lord Yuan took advantage of his position to give me an errand as a national eunuch, so that I successfully bypassed the mountain of the imperial examination and officially entered the official career, which is an extremely rare case since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

As for having fame, it is like climbing a mountain into the mountain gate, with my rescue skills alone, why worry that there will be no chance to go further in the future?

Thinking of this, my heart was filled with joy, and the corners of my mouth hung a villain's proud smile.

Thinking about the happy scene after reuniting with my family tomorrow morning, I only feel that the loneliness and frustration in the middle of the night have become a thing of the past.

Unexpectedly, he was like a robber in the future, and he didn't want to discuss with me at all, so he hastily broke into my life.

"Come on, come harder."

With this thought to myself, I closed my eyes contentedly and fell into a deep sleep......

———————————————————————————————————————

Yuan Jingluo left the house and returned to a side room in the backyard of the prince's mansion.

As the host of the feast, he is indeed the same as Xu Junwen thought, and he can be regarded as the teacher of the three princes.

Teacher, preaching, teaching, and solving doubts.

In order to summon him to his side at any time to answer questions when he meets Guan Pass while studying, His Royal Highness specially asked people to set up a separate room in the backyard as a temporary residence for this old Yuan.

As soon as he opened the door, Yuan Jingluo saw a shriveled old man in an old cloth robe sitting on the main seat in the house, and was grinning and nodding at him.

"Yuan Ruo, have you seen that kid?"

"See."

Yuan Jingluo didn't blame the old man for not knowing the etiquette, and after replying lightly, he walked straight to the side of the side.

After Yuan Jing sat down slightly, the shriveled old man raised his eyebrows and asked expectantly:

"How?"

Yuan Jing pondered for a moment and spit out a few words:

"It's hard to say......"

The shriveled old man seemed to be an anxious man, and when he saw Yuan Jing hesitating slightly, he suddenly became a little impatient, and saw him slap the table and shout angrily:

"I think you're really old, how come you're starting to get more sassy than you used to be? Good is good, bad is bad, what's not good to say? Don't think about saving some face for the old boy just because that kid was recommended by me, I have a word first, I don't eat that! ”

Yuan Jingluo was still calm after being reprimanded inexplicably, he gently raised his hands and pressed them a few times, signaling the old man not to be angry, and then persuaded him with kind words:

"Don't be anxious, brother, I didn't say he was bad......"

"Then what do you mean?"

Yuan Jingluo recalled the bits and pieces of the conversation with Xu Junwen, and thought for a moment before continuing to answer:

"It's really a piece of jade, but it's a little heavier, and it still needs to be polished."

As soon as these words came out, the shriveled old man suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and his expression became relaxed.

However, although he was secretly happy in his heart at this time, he was still unforgiving.

"Nonsense, if it's a flawless jade, it's your turn to pick up the leak? In my opinion, it's not a bad thing to be more thoughtful, who in today's court is not serious? If you're like me, I'm afraid it's not too much to die a thousand times. ”

"What the elder brother said is that since the elder brother is willing to entrust the young man to me, Yuan Ruo will definitely live up to his expectations and be trained by him. Please also rest assured that the old brother. ”

The shriveled old man saw that Yuan Jing was slightly like a stubborn stone, and he only felt that it was boring, so he stopped teasing him, and turned to the right way:

"Yuan Ruo, now that there is an undercurrent surging above the court, you are in the game, what are you going to do next? Tell me about it. ”

Yuan Jing smiled slightly and asked rhetorically:

"I thought that my brother had been hidden in the alleys of the market all these years, and he had long stopped asking about the affairs of the court, but I didn't expect that he was so concerned about the court situation?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"The old child is already a cloth coat, it doesn't matter if he cares or not, he just has nothing to do."

"I see, Yuan Ruo has a doubt that has been puzzled for many years, and today the old brother is here, just take this opportunity to find out, and I hope the old brother will give advice."

"Say it."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, His Majesty made it clear that he wanted to emulate the story of the Western Han Dynasty, set up the post of prime minister, and command hundreds of officials. And the elder brother was highly respected by the ministers back then, and he was the best candidate for the post of prime minister, but why did he suddenly seal the gold and resign from the office? ”

Yuan Jingluo's words seemed to evoke the dusty memory of the shriveled old man, and he replied with a long sigh:

"Hey, Yuan Ruo, what you said is a little insincere, how can you not figure it out such a shallow thing? Although I have only been in the country for 31 years, the position of prime minister has already changed hands several times, and there have been as many as 11 people so far, until a few years ago, there was a Zhou Youzhi ...... People who are good at prevarication have been faintly stabilized. Today's saints, the heavens are heroic and the cadres are arbitrary, and it seems that they imitate the rule of Wenjing everywhere and implement the co-governance of monarchs and ministers, but in fact, they still want the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart after all. If I don't leave, will I be like those idiots, and I won't be able to protect the evening? ”

Yuan Jing nodded and smiled after hearing this, and said slowly:

"That's it, the old brother asked me what I was going to do, and I replied with the old brother's original words, Your Majesty today, heroic and arbitrary, for today's plan, it is better to be still than to move, only by responding to all changes with the same can we successfully protect the three highnesses."

The shriveled old man seemed to react at this time, and he slammed the table a few times in anger, and scolded angrily:

"You old thing! How come after all these years, you still like to go around in circles so much? It's hard work to talk to you! I want to slap you in the face! I don't know how Xu Junwen just told you so much, how he survived. ”

Yuan Jingluo looked at the old man's excited appearance, and felt very funny for no reason, but his old brother was too old to be too angry, so he coughed lightly and explained with a serious face:

"Brother, it's not that I have the intention to tease, but some truths are indeed true in all ancient and modern times, and in the past, the old brother chose to retire after success, isn't it a very correct solution?"

As soon as these words came out, the shriveled old man's expression changed instantly, and his eyes, which were originally slightly dusty, suddenly became clear and translucent, he stared at Yuan Jinglue in front of him with a relaxed face, and reminded worriedly:

"Yuan Ruo, don't forget, the old man can indeed retire successfully, but His Royal Highness is always the prince, but he has no way out."

Yuan Jingluo gave a salute to the old man, and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, but Yuan Ruo has confidence, if the three princes still trust me in every detail as before, one day, Yuan Ruo will give that white hat with both hands!"

The shriveled old man laughed, a little unconvinced by what Yuan Jingluo said.

"White hats? Haha, the Third Highness has not been crowned king, you are a little too early, besides, the old man remembers that His Highness does not seem to have any intention of competing for the throne. ”

Yuan Jingluo's eyes flashed with coldness, and the corners of his mouth showed a sneer.

He turned his head and looked straight ahead, no longer looking at the old man, and said lightly:

"Who the hat is worn on his head, it is up to him to decide, in this world, only people like you and me are worthy of deciding the ownership of the hat......"
