"By the way?"

Yin Ningzhao lifted his robe and sat down, picked up the imperial examination article he wrote, read it again, and said with a slight smile: "If you are really not enterprising, you will not put this kind of spring and snow in the market." ”

"You're just waiting for a Bole to appreciate."

Ordinary people.

Not to mention understanding the article, I don't know a few big characters, Ling Huchi is talented, and his heart is not low, but unfortunately he was born in a poor family, and he is limited by his family background, so he can only sell fans at the same time, waiting for perhaps a nobleman to appreciate it.

"Bole?"

Ling Huchi also straightened his clothes.

Sitting upright, he asked, "Does the girl think she is my Bole?" ”

"Hmm."

Yin Ningzhao nodded, and then said: "You have the talent of the champion, I can grant you the position of the champion, so that you can get a position that matches your talent and realize your wishes." Isn't this Bole? ”

Her eyes lit up.

Although he was born in the royal family, among the men he has been in contact with since he was a child, in addition to the corrupt and strict master, he is a swinger who is blessed by his ancestors, and he is really the only one like Ling Huchi.

I can't help but love talent.

Champion sells every year, someone buys it every year, after so many years, what can she do if she buys one and gives it away?

It's better than falling into the hands of those bales.

"Then why did the girl do that?"

Ling Huchi looked at her.

After changing his impatient and helpless temperament, he suddenly became serious, and he was like two people, not like sitting in the market in cloth clothes, but like he had been a high school champion and leaned over to try the case.

Yin Ning Zhao paused.

I couldn't think of an answer for a while, she always did things casually, but this was obviously not a good answer.

I thought about it.

"For my brother."

"Your brother?"

Yin Ningzhao consciously found the perfect answer, nodded heavily, and explained: "My younger brother will also enter the court in the future, I will help you today, and you will help my younger brother in the future, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

"Huh."

Linghu Chi chuckled.

For a moment, it was as if one could see the wind and bones in him, and then he fell silent until a long, long time had passed.

The two looked at each other.

The fire thunderled.

His expression was very entangled, and finally he sighed, and while neatly arranging the clutter on the table, he shook his head and refused: "Forming a party for personal gain, forming a gang and forming a faction, I don't do such a thing." ”

"You just wanted to say yes."

"But I can't."

Ling Huchi got up, rolled up his sleeves and grinded, took a pen and fan, lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and clean, and his tone was indifferent: "I don't know what the girl is called?" ”

"Ning Zhao."

"Miss Ning, the most outstanding thing in the next is not talent, but self-knowledge, what out of the mud is not stained, it is impossible to put it on me, I saw the corrupt officials spending money like dirt, I wanted to be a corrupt official, and I saw the Qing officials asking for their lives for the people, and I couldn't help but want to live for a hundred years."

"Someone like me, once they walk on a road, they won't turn back if they break through the south wall, so-"

Speaking of which.

He had already drawn a landscape map on the fan.

He opened all the fans, held them high, squinted slightly, and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky through the pale black fan.

"So what?"

Yin Ningzhao couldn't help but ask.

"So I can't go the wrong way."

Linghu Chi suddenly closed the fan, and with a "snap", Yin Cai next to him was startled, and he opened the fan again, because the ink was closed before it dried, and the original landscape map was now a black mess.

He showed it to Yin Ningzhao.

said: "Dye it a little black, it will be dirty, then it is better to dye it all black, and simply turn it into a black fan." ”

Yin Ningzhao also stood up.

Under the sun.

The figure of the person in front of him seems to be coated with a halo, but the shadow behind it is also darker and darker, as if standing in front of him is a piece of paper, piercing the light, and leaking out all darkness.

The meaning of the words could not be clearer.

But she was still unwilling: "You have such talent, don't you still believe that you have the ability to swim against the current?" ”

"Swimming against the current, shattering bones.

Traveling thousands of miles down the river. ”

Ling Huchi looked at her, the answer to these sixteen words seemed to have been prepared for a long time, right now in the court of the Shun Dynasty, the emperor is mediocre, the corrupt officials are in charge, there are alien races outside and unstoppable, and there are moths in the court inside to eat whales.

I want to be a clean official.

is a vain attempt to swim against the current, and countless people are broken.

I want to be a corrupt official.

is to go downstream, stand in the team, find a good umbrella, that is, the official journey is smooth, and you can climb to the sky in one step.

These sixteen words are his life credo.

Linghu Chi is his person.

Talented and talented, but because of his poor background, he has no money to buy officials, and he has repeatedly fallen into the first place, but in the same way, he is not a person who has a regretful experience, he must have a kind heart.

If he enters the court.

He will be a corrupt official.

And it is a big greed, a huge greed, one person is above ten thousand people, and the Shun Dynasty can be packaged and sold to Rouran to enrich his money bag for the eternal sinners. This is called going down the river, which can travel thousands of miles.

The only vestiges of conscience he had left were.

Do not enter the court.

How low the success rate of seeking Bole in the market is, Ling Huchi knows better than anyone that he is just making enemies of himself, and on the one hand, he is unwilling to be full of talent and has nowhere to show it.

On the one hand, he knows better than anyone else that he is not a person who swims against the current.

The only remaining conscience.

Let Ling Huchi not think about those ways, even if those ways are no worse than buying officials, but he knows that once he enters the court, he will only be infected by corruption faster than anyone else.

Yin Ningzhao could hear the sound outside the strings.

Stand still.

For the first time, there is a sense of powerlessness that there is no way to go against the general trend, and when you are a clean official in prosperous times, you can live, and if you are a clean official in troubled times, you will die.

She is a princess.

It is very clear that in the current Shun Dynasty court, either greedy and prosperous, or clean or dead, or mediocre to protect themselves.

Personality and talent complement each other, Ling Huchi will never choose the third type, then only Qing Ze dies, or greedy and prosperous, if he is the former, Yin Ningzhao is willing to protect him, walk side by side, live and die together.

But he is the latter.

Yin Ningzhao can't send a corrupt official to the court, and this corrupt official still has the talent of the world, and it is possible to sell Shun Dynasty with his backhand.

"Excuse me."

She bowed.

Leave with Yin Cai.

Behind her, the sound of "selling fans, selling fans" became smaller and smaller, and she gradually moved away, and when she turned a street corner, she suddenly took out a copper coin from the cuff and tied it to the paper fan of "I am the champion".

How good it would be if it was a prosperous era of Qingping.

Ling Huchi's talent is world-renowned, and he will definitely be able to display his talents, and he does not have to choose not to enter the court as he is now, in order to prevent him from embarking on the road of corrupt officials.

Maybe.

"When the dynasty is in the present, I owe him a champion."

Yin Ningzhao picked up the paper fan, and the copper coin under it was turned around, she was fascinated, but in the end she just sighed.

Half a month later.

"The princess must be the master for me!"

Sun Jietai burst into tears.

Yin Ningzhao turned a blind eye, she recently became obsessed with a game called Galaha, which originally used pork bones as props, but she replaced them with copper plates, but she can still play.

Drop on drop.

was playing very steadily, but after being caught off guard by the magic sound in his ears, his hand shook, and the copper coins spilled all over the ground.

She frowned a little unhappily.

Still with his head down, he slowly picked up the copper plates everywhere with great patience, and said lightly: "I can't control it." ”

Sun Jietai's position as the Taifu was topped.

It would have been a trifle.

He is not worthy of the position, the virtue is not matched, the real hole card backer, is not the position of the Taifu, but the cousin Fu Qingling, who is the queen's mother in the harem.

Don't be too much.

What other official position is just a matter of Fu Qingling's words, but now there is a big problem.

His backer.

Cousin Fu Qingling "empathize and don't fall in love"!

actually allowed him to be squeezed out and framed by the new champion, but he didn't care, and Sun Jietai just fought back, and he was directly reprimanded and snubbed by Fu Qingling.

He was removed from the position of Taifu, not to mention.

He was even ordered to think about it behind closed doors.

"How unreasonable, how unreasonable!" Sun Jietai was grief-stricken and indignant, and finally remembered that he usually regarded it as a small treasury, but he should also be able to use it as a princess wife who supported him.

Since it is a husband and wife.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

The queen didn't care about her cousin and son-in-law, and her biological daughter should always care, so he came over this time to ask Yin Ningzhao for help and kick out the new champion who took his position as the Taifu.

"Shut up!"

Yin Ningzhao was in a bad mood.

However, Sun Jietai was in a worse mood.

was full of the crisis of his "fall out of favor" in the queen's mother, and when he heard the reprimand, he was even more anxious and angry, regretting marrying a princess, and his husband was like an upside down.

Fortunately, I married a princess.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even have a chance to talk to the queen.

He didn't dare to hit the stone with an egg, his eyes rolled, and he changed his words: "Princess, I am also thinking about you, I have been removed from the post of Taifu, and I will not see the prince in the future." That champion is a scheming villain at first glance, and the prince falls into his hands, no matter how you look at it, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit! ”

Scheming?

Yin Ningzhao couldn't help but smile.

This time, he spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy the champion, it was Zhao Shangshu's only son, Zhao Yanmeng, who was also a child of anointed rice, and he usually had a lot of dealings with Sun Jietai, and he was called a brother.

As a result, the "younger brother" took the position of "elder brother".

"Brother" came to her to complain again, usually praising the dragon and the phoenix, but now it has become a deep scheming.

"You might as well go directly to Zhao Shangshu."

What is it to run to her.

Go straight to your parents.

Hear this.

Sun Jietai flicked his sleeves, only when Yin Ningzhao was perfunctory, he was even more angry, stood up, and couldn't help but ask angrily: "What's the use of me looking for Zhao Shangshu?" ”

"Isn't he Zhao Yanmeng's father?"

"What does this have to do with Zhao Yanmeng?"

Yin Ningzhao raised his head.

Suddenly, he found that what the two of them said was not right, threw the picked up copper plate into the box, and asked: "You said that this year's new champion has robbed you of the position of Taifu, don't you mean Zhao Yanmeng?" ”

"Champion? He can be admitted to Xiucai, and the ancestral tomb is smoking! ”

Until this time.

Sun Jietai did not forget to laugh at his friends.

He has no talent, no virtue and no ability, but he is also not self-motivated, usually takes the money, and then fishes some oil and water everywhere, then calls friends, spends all day drinking, and comes back when there is no money.

As for the rest.

For example, he didn't know anything about disaster relief construction, buying and selling officials, and so on, and he didn't care about it.

I don't know that Zhao Yanmeng bought this year's champion.

Just being a friend is bragging to him.

"Then who are you talking about?"

"Linghu Chi."

"What!"

Sun Jietai saw her shock in his eyes, but misunderstood it as something else, clapped his hands violently, and said even more unwillingly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it either, a poor boy, how can he be the champion, I'm bah!" ”

Linghu is a small surname.

The probability of having the same surname and the same name is even smaller, could it be that those who sold officials in the imperial court changed their ways, or did they make up enough 500,000 taels of silver?

Countless questions flashed through my mind.

Yin Ningzhao got up suddenly.

Without looking back, he walked briskly towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"The Imperial Palace."

"Remember to bring me back the position of Taifu!" Sun Jietai's heart was overjoyed, the princess was out of the horse, he didn't believe it, this was not enough to fight a poor boy.

Qihua Palace.

Through the window.

Seeing her standing in the courtyard, Hong Sakura was taken aback, and then lightly put down and exited the house, and after closing the door, she quickly walked over and bowed: "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

"Get up."

Yin Ningzhao looked at the silhouette of his younger brother working hard in the house.

swept around the courtyard, only the three of them, and asked bluntly: "This year's champion Lang, the person who replaced Sun Jietai's position as Taifu, is called Linghu Chi?" ”

"Yes."

"How is it?"

Hear this question.

Hong Sakura hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Gentle and elegant, amiable to others, and his talent is also very compatible with the position of Taifu, but, it's just with-"

"Finished."

"According to the slave maid, Lord Linghu and the queen mother are getting closer."

Yin Ningzhao was silent for a while.

sighed, and then asked about her brother's recent situation, Hong Sakura replied fluently, except for the leg injury and missing her mother, Yin Taoqi didn't have any other problems, but he still hated her a little.

That's normal.

It was only at the age of fourteen that he gradually understood, and Qi'er was only six years old, and it was the time when he relied on his mother.

"How is Concubine Qiu doing?"

"After being taught a lesson by the princess last time, I have always been honest and responsible." Sakura replied.

Yin Ningzhao nodded.

Standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, he didn't know what to say for a while, he hurried over this time, and he didn't even understand the purpose, so he went back first, and then came when he figured it out.

Think about it this way.

is a little glad that I didn't see Ling Huchi, otherwise I don't know how to explain the problem that I, as a princess, sold my official position to him in the market.

Hurried.

Just as I was about to hurry away.

Just got into the carriage.

"Miss Ning."

Ling Huchi sat inside, smiling and polite, with a patched cloth coat on his body, which had been replaced by luxurious court clothes, which made his posture straight and his temperament outstanding.

The interior of the carriage is large enough.

Yin Ningzhao was stunned, then continued to go in quietly, sat opposite, lowered the curtain, and waited for the other party to speak first.

The carriage rolled forward.
