People in officialdom, nothing else can not, patting the horse's fart that is sure to know, not only can it, but also have to be proficient, this is the only way to get promoted, any dynasty is like this, don't look at the Zhenguan years of the wind is quite positive, but then the same will not shoot the horse is not promoted, of course, can shoot the emperor Lao Tzu's fart, that is naturally the best way to be promoted, but the only ones who can really shoot are those officials, as for those officials who have not even had the opportunity to go to the court, it is a very amazing achievement to be able to shoot the prime minister's fart, It's enough to make your colleagues jealous and your eyes red.

At present, among the prime ministers of the DPRK, the most powerful is naturally Liu Xun, the new minister and the first auxiliary minister, those officials below, who don't want to praise the stinky feet of this Liu Shizhong, but the problem is that Liu Xun is not lustful, not greedy for money, frugal by nature, never accepts gifts, others want to shoot the horse is really difficult to find where the horse ** is, and now a great opportunity is in front of him, how can he not help Wang Taizhong not moved, no, Wen Xuanqing just left, Wang Taizhong was a little unable to sit still, patiently grinding on the seat** , Estimating that Wen Xuanqing should have rolled back to the office, Wang Taizhong picked up the letter of request on the table, and walked to the inner hall of the yamen of the official department with official steps, although his face was solemn, but his steps were inevitably a little frivolous, but just after entering the inner hall, Wang Taizhong hesitated, without him, who should hand over this fold to sign is a big problem.

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries, holding the power of official assessment and promotion, which is not comparable to other ministries, and now Su Dingfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, followed Li Shimin to conquer Goguryeo together, and the only people in charge of the ministry are Li Qianhe and Cui Renshi, of course, even if Su Dingfang is still in the middle of the court, he basically belongs to the big shopkeeper, and has never been in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and all the ministry affairs are basically in charge of Li and Cui, but don't look at these two waiters who are still in harmony on weekdays, but the two are not fellow travelers - Li Qianhe said that he is naturally the mainstay of the Yue Wang family, and Cui Renshi is a figure on the side of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and he is a group with Liu Xun, and the excerpt of Liu Xun's son is naturally to find Cui Renshi to sign to get insurance, but the problem is that Li Qianhe is a left waiter, and he is half a level higher than Cui Renshi in terms of official position, if he directly finds Cui Renshi, and does not pass Li Qianhe, God knows if Li Qianhe will hold a grudge, in case he wears a pair of small shoes, as a subordinate, Wang Taizhong is not a sycophant, on the contrary, he got into a commotion, but Wang Taizhong couldn't help but be cautious.

"Wang Langzhong, ...... are you" Just as Wang Taizhong was standing in the corridor of the inner courtyard and hesitating, a middle-aged official who was about to come over with a stack of documents hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, hehe, Liu Kaishu, Li Shilang is here?" As soon as Wang Taizhong saw that the person who came was Liu Wanchang, the regular calligrapher in Li Qianhe's office, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile.

"Lord Li asked for leave today, saying that he was suffering from a cold and was not feeling well, and he had to rest for a few days, but you have something important to do with Lord Li?" Liu Wanchang is a person who listens to Li Qianhe's office, and his role is equivalent to the secretary of later generations, although he is only a Xu official, he is also a number one person in this ministry, but he is not very timid Wang Taizhong.

"Oh, that's right." Wang Tai suddenly loosened his head, and said with a smile: "Since Li Shilang is sick, then he won't be tired, the official still has something to do, Liu Kaishu please take care of himself." ”

"Cheng, you're busy." Liu Kaishu glanced at the document that Wang Taizhong was dragging in his hand, bowed down with a smile, stepped aside, bypassed Wang Taizhong and walked out of the gate of the inner courtyard by himself. Wang Taizhong waited until he saw that Liu Wanchang had already turned out of the gate of the inner courtyard, so he straightened his clothes and walked slowly into Cui Renshi's office.

Cui Renshi is a strict person, whether it is to others or himself, he has always been unsmiling, today Li Qianhe asked for sick leave, all the official duties were all on his shoulders, from early in the morning to this time, he has not been able to take a breath, when Wang Taizhong walked into his office, Cui Renshi was buried in correcting the official documents, suddenly heard footsteps, this snorted without raising his head: "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Taizhong had always been afraid of this cold-faced and cold-hearted boss, but when he heard Cui Renshi's question, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to report: "The next official will see Master Cui." ”

"Huh?" Cui Renshi originally thought that the officials had come to pay respects, but when he heard Wang Taizhong's voice, he suddenly felt strange, so he raised his head from the official document pile, and glanced at Wang Taizhong, who was full of respect, but did not ask about his intention.

"Lord Cui, Xia Guan has an official letter here, and I feel that it is difficult to decide, so I have come to ask Lord Cui to take a look." Facing the inquiring gaze of his boss, Wang Taizhong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Liu Cheng's letter of request for transfer with both hands.

Cui Renshi glanced at Wang Taizhong suspiciously, but he didn't ask much, lowered his head and quickly went through the official letter, his eyes suddenly stared at the word "Liu Xun" in the official letter, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he muttered: "What does Wang Langzhong think about this matter?" ”

Wang Taizhong had already thought of the answer before he came, and at this time, when he heard Cui Renshi ask the question, he didn't panic, and replied very calmly: "Dr. Liu has been an official for several years, he is diligent and hardworking, and promotion is a matter of course. ”

Although Cui Renshi and Liu Xun belong to the same camp of King Wei, the relationship between them is just average, and Cui Renshi is upright by nature, and he doesn't bother to pat Liu Xun's ass, and he is very dismissive of Liu Cheng's transfer to the Household Department Warehouse Staff, in his opinion, since Liu Cheng is serving in the Guozijian, even if he wants to be promoted, there is nothing wrong with being promoted in the Guozijian system, there is no need to transfer him to the household department, I didn't want to approve this excerpt, but when I heard the word "Qinggui" in Wang Taizhong's words, I immediately became angry, without him, Cui Renshi himself is also a person who was born in the imperial examination, and he is not considered to be the queen of the court, the most annoying thing is that the gang of magnates use the word "Qinggui" as an article, and when he was angry, his face immediately drooped, and he snorted coldly, picked up the pen, signed the word "quasi" on the official document, and did not explain, raised his hand and threw the official document to Wang Taizhong, and said coldly: "Hurry up." ”

"Yes." Wang Taizhong saw that his cunning had succeeded, he was excited, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, he replied very respectfully, and withdrew from Cui Renshi's office with the official document in his hand, and hurriedly slipped out of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and went to find Liu Cheng to deliver the good news. Wang Taizhong is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name, and the relationship that should be pulled is not in a hurry, when will it be? It's just that he didn't notice that Liu Wanchang, a servant, also quietly slipped out of the yamen of the ministry after he left the ministry......

Outside the south gate of Chang'an City, there is a farm in the northeast corner of Xiamaling, which is not too big, covering an area of about 300 acres, in addition to the small village in the center of the farm occupies more than 100 acres of land, there are only more than 200 acres of grain fields that are really not fertile. In addition to the Fenglu given by the imperial court, the income of such a small farm is Liu Xun's biggest source of income, if you want to maintain the dignity of a prime minister, such a little income is very stretched, but Liu Xun is willing to be indifferent, never do those things that receive benefits, life is very tight, no, in front of Liu Xun, who is immersed in dinner, in addition to three dishes of vegetarian dishes, there is only a small plate of bacon, not to mention this kind of food compared with the rich family, Even the food of the most inferior officials in the court is better than these dishes, but Liu Xun is willing, and there is no difficulty in swallowing at all, and he is sweating profusely and happily.

"Daddy......" Just as Liu Cheng was eating happily, the eldest son Liu Cheng burst in from outside the hall in a hurry.

"Huh?" Liu Xun himself has always been famous for his love of firing guns in the court, and his speech has always been unscrupulous, but he disciplined his two sons very strictly, but there were acts of impropriety and law, and he was severely punished.

Liu Cheng was happy to patronize before, but now he saw that his father had a black face, so he was shocked to realize that he had committed a taboo, and hurriedly lowered his head and retreated to the side, his lips moved, but he didn't dare to say more, looking timid, Liu Cheng was even more annoyed for a while, glared at Liu Cheng angrily, and said coldly: "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"Daddy, the child doesn't dare to deceive Daddy, the child has received a letter of transfer today, and will soon be transferred to the position of a member of the household department and the warehouse department......" Although Liu Cheng was afraid of his father, when he thought of getting a promotion today, he still couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and opened his mouth to answer.

"What's going on?" Liu Xun didn't wait for Liu Cheng to finish speaking, frowned, and asked.

Liu Cheng has been a doctor of Guozijian for three years, and has never been promoted, of course, Liu Cheng is worried about being said to be nepotistic and deliberately suppressed, but also because Liu Cheng himself is really just average, barely competent, and there is no particularly outstanding performance, this unexpected promotion, to be honest, Liu Cheng himself can't believe it, at this time, seeing his father asking the reason, his heart is also at a loss, he didn't know how to answer, and after being stunned for a while, he saw that Liu Cheng had signs of seizures, Only then did he hurriedly speak: "Daddy, the child has not made any mistakes in his actions in the past three years, and the merit examination department has assessed the child as a first-class and applied for promotion, but the child only knows that Wang Taizhong of the Ministry of Officials is specifically handling this matter, and the rest of the things are not clear to the child." ”

"Wang Taizhong?" As Zai Fu, Liu Xun didn't know such a low-level official as Wang Taizhong, frowned and thought about it for a while, and didn't think that Wang Taizhong was that kind of goods, but for his eldest son, Liu Xun was clear, his ability was just average, not good, not too bad, so-so, it was almost the same to get a second class in the performance appraisal, and it was very watery to get a first class. The affairs of the court are under control, and when the spring breeze is proud, I don't mind the officials below to do some favors, besides, even if Liu Cheng is promoted, he is still a small sesame mung bean official from the sixth grade, it is really not a big deal, Liu Xun will not take such a small broken official hat to heart, but seeing that his son is happy to be like this, Liu Xun still can't help but say something: "There are many and miscellaneous things in the household department, can you afford it, huh?" ”

Liu Cheng knew that his father would ask about it, and he was ready to stop, but he could hear the question at this time, but he was not panicked, and bowed down and replied: "Back to Daddy's words, as far as the child knows, the important task of the warehouse department is: to judge the world's warehousing, accept taxes, and give it to Lu Li, and the income and expenditure are subject to the bills. Careful' is just two words, if the child is appointed as a warehouse member, he should be diligent and self-reliant, assist the director of Langzhong, and he will be conscientious, please rest assured. ”

Liu Xun has served in the court for a long time, although he has never been in charge of the affairs of the household department, but those responsibilities in the household department Liu Xun still has a number in his heart, at this time, seeing that Liu Cheng answered well, he didn't ask more, but said with a calm face: "You know that you are careful, you should act properly, if you let your father know that you are corrupt and derelict in your duties, be careful of your skin, and do not retreat." ”

Liu Cheng was worried that his father did not agree to his own position in the household department, at this time, seeing that Liu Xun's words were harsh, but between his words, he had clearly agreed to his promotion, and he was very happy, however, in front of his father, Liu Cheng did not dare to show a very happy expression, and hurriedly answered "yes" and withdrew from the hall.

Liu Cheng retreated happily, but Liu Xun was a little unsettled, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong here, but he couldn't see anything wrong, and he didn't have the heart to use the half-used dinner anymore, so he sat behind a few years with a frown, and fell into deep thought......

The sky gradually darkened, it was time to hold the lamp, the lights in the capital were lit up one by one, not counting the moments, it was already full of brightness, however, the inner study of the Yue Wangfu was still pitch black, Na Long sat behind the desk, seemed to not care about the darkness at all, a pair of eyes looked at the gloomy night sky outside the window, fingers unconsciously knocked on the table, making a burst of "click" sound, echoing in the empty study.

"Sir, it's time to light the lights." The figure in the study flashed, and a goose dressed in black appeared like a ghost, and said indifferently.

"Well, it's time to light the lights." Naron smiled and replied casually, but didn't move to light the delicate lantern on the corner of the table.

Yanda took out two flints from his bosom, stepped forward, lit the fire, lit the lantern, looked at Nalong with a smile and said, "Sir, the lamp has been lit." ”

"That's good, tell me to go down and get started." Na Long could understand the hidden words of Yan Da, put away the smile on his face, and said with a cautious face.

"Yes." Yan Da replied, but did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you need to notify that one?" ”

"No need, although the prince is stupid, the people around him are not stupid, what to do, he will do it, there is no need for me to wait for this to pass the order." Nalong shook his head slowly, and said in a resolute tone.

"Yes." Yan Da answered, his body shook, and the person had disappeared. Ignoring Yanda's departure, Nalong let out a sigh and walked to the window, staring in the direction of the palace, the corners of his mouth curled into a mysterious smile......

The palace is undoubtedly the most luxurious place in the world in this era, the genius has just been blackened, the lights of the palace have been lit, the magnificent palace will be dressed up as the heaven and earth, not to mention the brilliant lanterns, not to mention the beautiful palace carvings, just the fragrance of the palace girls who shuttle back and forth is wonderful, at this time the lanterns are on, and it is dinner time, the palace is busy, the eunuchs and palace maids who send meals and desserts to the palaces are endless, and it is a prosperous and lively, however, For the Yihe Hall in a corner of the palace, even if the palace is upside down, it is still pitch black, quiet as a cemetery, of course, a wing room in the palace is boundless spring, two white meat rolling around, at this time the fight is in a hurry, suddenly the upper body/position, suddenly the old man pushes the cart, crackling in the sound of impact, Jiao/panting is urgent, and the moaning sound is so lingering that it makes people get goosebumps, needless to say, these two fierce generals are the prince Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, Xu Xuan, A low roar rang out at the same time as a moan elongated in tone, and the two clumps of white flesh fell into a heap.

"Mei Niang, huhu, you are really, well, so ......" Li Zhi, who was panting unevenly, hugged Wu Meiniang, who was also out of breath, and said softly.

"Your Highness, come, the slave family will help you wipe your sweat, it's not good if you don't catch the cold." Wu Meiniang's face was full of ** after the blush, Qiang leaned out from under Li Zhi's body, groped and picked up a piece of white silk from the side, and carefully helped Li Zhi wipe the sweat off his body.

"Well, that's nice." Li Zhiping lay down, hummed lazily, enjoyed Wu Meiniang's caressing, and carefully admired Wu Meiniang's proud body by the not-so-bright lamp in the corner, occasionally raised his hand, and smeared a few handfuls on Wu Meiniang's peak and secret place, and her eyes were full of peach blossoms.

Wu Meiniang endured Li Zhi's invasion, and the flush on her face, which had begun to fade, surged again, but she was not moved again, but lay down beside Li Zhi lightly, and asked with a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, Your Majesty should have arrived in Youzhou?" ”

As soon as he mentioned his old man, Li Zhi immediately did not continue to play with Wu Meiniang's interest, nodded with a wry smile and said: "Yes, it has arrived, the express report that came back yesterday, my father has been in Youzhou for two days, and it is almost time to get out of the customs at this time, alas, it's all here, why hasn't there been any movement on the starling side, this palace, this palace ......."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the concubine thinks that His Royal Highness King Yue will move as soon as possible, and it should be in the next few days." When Wu Meiniang saw Li Zhi looking so cowardly, her heart was dark, but she still said comfortingly.

"Really? How does Mei Niang know? Could it be a lie to this palace? Could it be the news from Yan Niangniang's side, say it quickly, say it quickly. When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately sat up, looked at Wu Meiniang with excitement on his face, and asked one after another.

"Your Highness, lie down and let the concubine speak." Wu Meiniang stretched out a white and tender hand, pulled Li Zhi's body into her arms, and said softly: "In the eyes of the concubine, Your Majesty has not left the customs, His Royal Highness the King of Yue will not do it, and now that His Majesty has been out of the customs, the war is in full swing, Your Majesty must not take care of the rear, His Royal Highness the King of Yue will not miss this opportunity, His Royal Highness does not need to be in a hurry, make preparations first, when the time comes, you can take advantage of the situation, and there is no need to panic." ”

"Hehe, it's still Mei Niang who knows the heart of the palace best, come, incense." Li Zhi was very happy when he saw that Wu Meiniang said so surely, as soon as he grasped the softness on Wu Meiniang's chest, his mouth came over, and a big battle began again......
