Shi Qingqian is right, the calm before the storm is the most terrifying.

Because at this time, the jack hangs over the head, and it will fall down with only a trace, but you don't know when it will break, and you don't know if you can avoid it at the same time.

In order to meet the moment of triggering, it is necessary to maintain the spirit of the twelve points at all times, both physically and mentally, and endure continuous suffering.

Shen Shu knew very well what Shi Qingqian was talking about, he showed a comforting smile, stretched out his hand and gently patted the top of Shi Qingqian's head twice, "Okay, okay, don't think about it, this matter is not within your control, you just have to rest assured that we will deal with it." ”

Shi Qingqian nodded with difficulty, even if Shen Shu said so, she would not be in a good mood, as long as Shen Xuan's position as the crown prince was still sitting for a day, she would have a day of unease.

Afraid that Shi Qing would fall too deeply, Shen Shu had no choice but to chat with her about other things, from what he saw and heard on the battlefield many years ago, to the new masters he met outside the capital not long ago, Shen Shu told them one by one.

Shi Qingqian has always loved to listen to people's stories, and the person who told them was Shen Shu, so she was even more happy. The two chatted from the evening to the middle of the night, and the rain outside the window went from lightning and thunder to a hurricane whining, and then only a few drops of rain that had not had time to pour down together.

"Er, let's get here first today," Seeing the people around him yawning like a kitten, Shen Shu's heart was about to turn into a puddle of water, "I'll go back first, if you still want to hear it, then I'll tell you another day." ”

Shi Qingqian nodded in a daze, and threw himself on Shen Shu's body, like a koala, unwilling to come down, "Shen Shu, I love you so much." ”

Almost instantly, Shen Shu went straight from his neck to his earlobe.

They have been in love for so long, Shen Shu really didn't expect that he would be so 'uncompromising', and now Shi Qingqian's confession will make him blush and heartbeat for a long time.

He suddenly wanted everything to end quickly, because then he would be able to marry Shi Qingqian to his side with peace of mind, he really ...... I don't want to let go of her hand for a second.

But the cold wind blowing in from the window relentlessly woke him up—not yet. He can't be selfishly greedy for temporary pleasure now, even if he wants to marry Shi Qingqian, he must wait for a time when there are no worries.

"Okay, okay, oh, I love you too." Shen Shu hugged Shi Qingqian with one hand, and gently patted her back twice with the other, gently carrying her to the bed.

Shi Qingqian was already so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and Shen Shu didn't say anything, he knelt down, kissed her cherry lips gently, then turned around and extinguished the candle flame and left from the door.

Shi Qingqian squinted his eyes and looked, only to see Shen Shu's figure holding up an oil-paper umbrella at the door, and then disappeared into the night......

Another ten days passed in a hurry.

Recently, there was a big incident in the court.

It was the second batch of officials who came in to the imperial examination who were found to be corrupt, received a lot of silver taels from the locality, and exchanged the entire documents handed in by the assassin history, and the original documents were full of criticism of the incompetence and corruption of the local officials, but they were replaced by the officials who handled them with official documents full of praise.

The most problematic thing is that the original document somehow fell into Mo Ruan's hands. Mo Ruan said that he was also unintentional, and his subordinates took the wrong one, and he saw it.

Of course, this matter was also provoked by Mo Ruan.

The reason why this is a big deal is not because of the corruption incident itself, after all, there are so many officials, and there are not a few people who have been found to be corrupt. Shen Lun immediately decided to sit together, whether it was an official in the capital who took bribes, or a briber in that place, they were dismissed from their posts.

The matter should have ended here, but Mo Ruan's henchmen refused, and after disposing of the official, they continued to talk about the matter.

"Your Majesty! I don't think this should end here! One of them walked up to the center, straightened his waist and said loudly, "The amount of corruption and bribery of this little official has reached hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, shouldn't I wait to find out the real reason why he took bribes?" The minister thinks that just dismissing him from his post will not prevent such a thing from happening! ”

Shen Lun propped his head with one hand and raised his eyebrows to look at the man, "Then in your opinion-cough-cough-cough-what do you think is the real reason for this corruption and bribery?" ”

The man smiled and replied loudly: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that in the final analysis, that little official has never seen anything in the world. He was originally a cloth cloth, although he entered the official career through the imperial examination, he could not change the essence of his rural people. This kind of person is often unable to resist temptation, and they are all open-minded people who see money. What's more, this court has nothing to do with him, unlike the children of the family, a court is the entire support of the family, and for the children of the family, there will be a strong sense of identity in their hearts. But this is not the case for the rural people, for them, the imperial court is just a fishpond to make money! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister seconded the proposal! Another person also stepped forward, "The minister thinks that what Dr. Zhao said is extremely true!" For those rural people, as long as they have money, they can do anything, which is the fundamental reason for the frequent occurrence of corruption incidents in the past two years! ”

"What do you mean by Dr. Zhao and Dr. Qian?" When Ji Wenyu heard this, he frowned and retorted, "The root cause is that Sun Xiaoguan's heart is uncertain!" What does it have to do with where you come from? Among the officials from the children of the family, there are also corrupt people, how do you explain this? ”

Doctor Qian glanced at it contemptuously, didn't look at Ji Wenyu when he spoke, and said: "Ji Shangshu himself is from a humble background, so he will naturally speak to those from a humble background, but the emperor, in the eyes of the ministers, this person who has never seen the world is clearly a pug who can nod and bow to as long as he gives a little benefit!" The heart is uncertain, and the reason for the uncertainty is not because he has not received any good education since childhood? Plainly...... It's just that I don't have the qualifications to stand in such a high position! ”

"That's it, even if you barely stand up, it's only temporary," Doctor Zhao echoed casually, "Like this, just to show a momentary speed, our court doesn't need it at all!" ”

"I always feel that the words of the two doctors seem to mean something...... Shi Yuan also stood up and said, "The two said that they were harshly criticizing the officials from low backgrounds, but no matter how you listen to it, it seems that the drunkard does not mean to drink...... And it is not to blame the imperial examination system! ”
