Chapter 205: Selection of Shangshu
"Can't you change some other tricks except poison?"
As long as you look closely, you can find that Yuan Jiang'er has a faint dark green color in the smoke emitted this time, and it is highly poisonous at first glance.
But Hua Shishi didn't have any expression on his face, and even the redness caused by the poisonous gas he had just inhaled into his body slowly returned to its original state.
It's just a snap of his fingers, and Hua has relieved himself of the toxicity. With a pair of eyes glowing with cold light, he stared at Yuan Jiang'er in front of him without any fluctuations.
Yuan Jiang'er was indeed frightened, if it was said that the previous incident was due to a mistake, then the speed seen now can only prove that Hua is a person who cannot be provoked.
No matter how worried and scared she was, Yuan Jiang'er still showed an arrogant and senseless attitude in front of her, "Do you think I have no recruitment?" If I put the Gu worm on you, without my help, you won't want to take it off in your life. ”
"Then why don't you do it?" Hua Chushi asked, and Yuan Jiang'er choked up for a moment. "Did you happen to forget to bring it twice, or did you actually have a good heart and didn't want to harm others at will?"
"What kind of hypocrisy, it's all nonsense, do you think that with my ability, I may have the trait of not being able to bear it?" Yuan Jiang'er denied it, but her expression and movements were very stiff.
"Human nature is evil, human nature is good, and a person's life is not determined by the character she was born with, but through the continuous tempering of the world, so that everyone's heart is different."
seems to be accustomed to Yuan Jiang'er's style of acting, Hua Shishi is not much angry at her for poisoning herself so casually. "I believe that Miss Yuan likes to do things as she pleases, but you must also have a kindness in your heart."
"Like before, I was willing to block King Jing's search for me, and this time I didn't kill under my anger, which is enough to prove my guess." Hua Chushi patted his sleeve, Fang Cai's poisonous powder had corroded the sleeve into a lot of dust, but he was still fine.
"I just hope that Miss Yuan can pay a little more attention to her words in the future, the girl will be angry because of other people's words, and I don't know that others will not be sad because of the girl's mean words."
"Good words are warm in three springs, and bad words are hurtful and cold in June. Please also ask the girl to learn to restrain herself in the future and stop talking nonsense. Hua Shishi's long list of words made Yuan Jiang'er almost dizzy.
Just when Yuan Jiang'er was about to lose his temper, he saw Hua Chushi actually bow and bow his head. Hua Chushi bent down, put his head in a line with the outstretched arch hand, and looked very sincere.
"Just now, I was in a hurry, I didn't want to hurt the girl, and I asked the girl to forgive."
"Why do you want to talk so much nonsense with me, do you just want to make up for your mistake so easily?" Yuan Jiang'er snorted coldly in her heart, and her eyes became more and more unkind when she looked at Hua Chushi.
"I just set an example, admit my mistakes calmly, and hope that the girl will take them as a warning." Hua didn't wait for her answer, and didn't get up.
"Hmph, why is this the victim of me, and I am the one who needs to correct my mistakes in the end, do you people like to say these high-sounding words to cover up your mistakes." The more Yuan Jiang'er thought about it, the more angry she became, and she directly raised her hand to open Hua Chushi's hand.
"I'm telling you, we're not done with this. The reason why I didn't be cruel to you is because I really didn't bring it today, and I will definitely give you a good look when we meet next time. ”
After dropping this sentence, Yuan Jiang'er stomped his feet and ran away. Hua Chushi lowered his head, only to see a skirt passing from his sight, and then kept getting up, and the person in front of him really disappeared.
Yuan Jiang'er ran back to the Yixuan Pavilion all the way non-stop, and Mo Die, who was guarding the room, was already very worried in her heart, and she was relieved until she saw her.
"Niangniang, you can be regarded as coming back, so that the slave maid is worried about death." Mo Die put down the feather duster she had been using as a self-defense weapon, and arrived at a cup of tea Yuan Jiang'er in front of her.
walked up to Yuan Jiang'er, but found that her eyes were red. Mo Die was surprised and distressed, and took out the handkerchief in her arms, wanting to wipe away her tears.
"Niangniang, why are you crying, who bullied you?"
"Who said I cried, get out of here." Yuan Jiang'er impatiently blocked the hand that Mo Die handed over to her, and the tears that had been held back couldn't help but shed a drop under her concern.
"In the past ten years since I became sensible, I have never cried, and I will never cry for anyone."
Yuan Jiang'er stubbornly wiped the tears off her face, and put her right hand flat on the table, and a Gu worm that had been parasitic in her body crawled out from under the skin of her wrist.
The Gu worm is very strong, and in Yuan Jiang'er's white and tender hands, Yuan Jiang'er bent his fingers slightly and grabbed this strand in his hand. Yuan Jiang'er twisted the insect on her fingertips, and the gaze cast at her was cold and dangerous.
"See you next time, if I don't give him a good look, I will be blind to my hard work for more than ten years."
Saying that, Yuan Jiang'er crushed this Gu worm to pieces, but the Gu worm did not die because of this, the liquid flowing on its fingertips seemed to be moving, and it actually squirmed by itself, making the ink butterfly next to it tremble.
"Mo Die, contact Lord Li according to the method mentioned before, since this palace has already promised Lord Li's matter, it is time for him to report back."
In the days after this day passed, Hua was like a different person, and rarely met Li Wensong again. However, Li Wensong didn't take it to heart, because he heard that Yuan Jiang'er in the palace had captured Su Yutian's heart for some reason at these times.
Only with her small noble status, Yuan Jiang'er trampled almost all the concubines in the palace except for the queen. Li Wensong was very proud after hearing this, as if he had won such glory, and it was inevitable that he would be a little arrogant in the court these days.
After all, compared to Gu Yun, who was favored at the beginning, Yuan Jiang'er will only surpass it. At the beginning, Su Yutian would be jealous of Gu Yun because of Gu Ting's identity, but Yuan Jiang'er was a dancer with no background, so presumably he wouldn't have much suspicion.
It is also thanks to Su Yutian that Li Wensong's plan can be implemented smoothly. After all, very few people can guess that Li Wensong has long been in collusion with Yuan Jiang'er.
On this day, Li Wensong bowed his body as before, put on the most humble posture, and stood in his position, but those who knew him well or had friends with him obviously felt that he was in a good mood today.
Recently, the wind and waves in the city were calm, and Su Yutian remembered the lack of space in the Ministry of Rites. As early as a few days ago, Su Yutian issued an order to ask various officials, but the list given made him feel unsatisfied, so he deliberately proposed it today when he was in the early court.
"I have asked Xiao Quanzi to write all the candidates you provide on this excerpt, but these people have some problems, do you have other candidates?"
Su Yutian didn't like to sit on the dragon chair all the time, and he seemed very depressed, so he stood on the steps condescendingly with his fold, and his keen eyes scanned the bottom like an eagle.
Hearing Su Yutian's words, Li Wensong's heart sank. There are only two or three candidates in total on the excerpts of these people, and most of the officials who are familiar with them will only recommend one person, so listening to Su Yutian's meaning, he will directly exclude this person.
Not only was his wish disappointed, but because what he did this time was too obvious, Su Yutian might find that the group of officials under him seemed to have no connection, but they had hidden secrets.
Thinking of this, Li Wensong buried his head even lower, for fear that it would attract his attention, and the original idea of recommending his own candidate today disappeared.
"I've thought about it, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is vacant, and I can't ask King Jing to replace him from time to time, there is no rule, you can speak up boldly, just say it if you have a suitable choice, and I won't blame you."
Su Yutian glanced at Su Jingye as he spoke, and the officials in the hall followed his line of sight, and Su Jingye bowed his head very calmly.
Li Wensong, who was pondering over there, thought for a while, and suddenly relaxed, now most of the people in the DPRK and Central China are in their own hands, no matter who is elected, in the end they will be able to more or less intertwine with the big net under their hands, so there is no need to worry at all.
Li Wensong thought so, and the group of officials headed by him didn't dare to come out and speak when they saw that he didn't say anything. As for the others, they all look to their own and have no ideas.
Su Yutian just held up the fold and asked a few times, but no one from His Royal Highness responded, which was really ridiculous. Su Yutian rarely got angry, and did not continue to ask, and the hall suddenly became silent.
Li Wensong was still struggling in his heart whether to speak out and protect his life, so Su Jingye spoke first, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, you can promote Kong Yu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to be a scholar." ”
"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is young and promising, and he is a little more flexible than the original Lord Shang Shubao, and he knows the affairs of the Ministry of Rites well, and he has always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites during Lord Bao's suspension, Your Majesty can let him try."
"Your Majesty, you can't, the servants of the Ministry of Rites also have their own affairs, how can you take care of them all." According to the system of court officials, the squire of the Ministry of Rites is slightly lower than Shangshu by one grade, which is equivalent to the deputy of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is in charge of the entire Ministry of Rites, and the squire is only responsible for two of the four divisions of the Ministry of Rites.
Because of the difference in the way they worked, if the position of the squire was hastily expanded to the fourth division, it would easily affect the efficiency of the Ministry of Rites, which was one of the reasons why the kings of the past were reluctant to promote from the same status.
But the reason why Li Wensong spoke out against it was not just for this.
