Chapter 51: The Power of the Lord and the Faction

"Huh, I always feel that this turtle seems to have spirituality, could it be my delusion?" Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The little turtle seemed to hear Su Yi's voice, and nodded hurriedly, as if to say: This is your illusion.

"Can you understand people?" Su Yi was even more surprised.

The little turtle hurriedly shook his head, no longer bothered Su Yi, and then continued to crawl towards Mo Yan.

There is still ink left over from yesterday in the inkstone, Su Yi didn't have time to change the ink, only to see the little turtle slowly climb up to the edge of the inkstone, and then, straightening his neck, taking a sip of ink, his eyes seemed to be very enjoyable.

Su Yi's eyes were straight.

"The black and turtle drink ink...... Su Yi only felt that her three views had been subverted.

The little turtle turned his head to look at Su Yi, who was full of shock, and there seemed to be a flash of doubt in his eyes, as if to say: What's so strange, isn't it normal for turtles to drink ink?

The little turtle was gurgling and drinking ink, and at this time, Su Shi'er walked into the house with an anxious face, and said with a crying voice: "Yi'er, it's not good, slowly, slowly it's gone!"

"Slowly?" Su Yi said curiously.

"Just the little turtle you bought me yesterday...... Hey, slowly you're here!" Su Shi'er saw the little turtle on the desk in a blink of an eye, her eyes were happy, and she hurriedly walked over.

But when Su Shi'er saw that the little turtle she named "slowly" was drinking ink, the look of surprise on her pretty face was no less than Su Yi's before.

"Hey, wait, the ink can't be drunk, come down. Su Shi'er was afraid that the little turtle would eat bad things, so she hurriedly grabbed it from the inkstone.

I saw the little turtle in Su Shi'er's hands with its teeth and claws, struggling like being disturbed to eat, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Yi asked with a strange face, "Sister Shi'er, what have you fed it for the past two days?"

"It's just that the small fish and shrimp are chopped and fed to it, but slowly they don't like it, so they eat very little, isn't the turtle eating these?" replied Su Shi'er.

The little turtle rolled its eyes in the air, as if it had served Su Shi'er.

"I see. Su Yi suddenly realized, "I think it must be hungry, that's why I climbed on my desk." ”

The little turtle nodded desperately.

"Hungry, won't you?" Su Shi'er wondered even more, "Even if you're hungry, you shouldn't drink ink slowly." ”

"Ahem, this is slowly a rare breed, maybe the food is different from the ordinary turtle, otherwise you can put it on your desk and try it." Su Yi glanced at the inkstone.

Su Shi'er suspiciously put the little turtle next to the inkstone, and as soon as she saw it hit the ground, she immediately crawled to the inkstone, and then began to gulp the ink again.

Su Shi'er immediately covered her red lips lightly, her eyes widened, and she was very surprised.

"There are no wonders in the world, and you don't have to be surprised, Sister Shi'er. Su Yi said, "Since you slowly like to drink ink, let it drink enough." Let it stay here in the morning and it won't bother me. ”

"Alright, I'll get busy first. Su Shi'er nodded, looked at the little turtle again, muttered "It's so strange", and left Su Yi's room.

At this time, the ink was almost bottoming out, so Su Yi grabbed the little turtle aside, poured water on it, and started grinding the ink again.

After grinding the ink, the little turtle immediately pounced, Su Yi watched it drink wildly with a smile, shook her head, stopped paying attention to it, and began to practice calligraphy.

Su Yi wrote the combat chapter of "The Art of War" today, and because of yesterday's morning of practice, today's writing speed has improved, and it only takes three quarters of an hour to write ten pages.

Then Su Yi compared the words on these ten pages again, and found that the progress was greater than yesterday, and the heart was really practice makes perfect.

"Judging from this progress, I can start learning calligraphy in five days and develop my own style. ”

Su Yi picked up the pen again and prepared to dip it in ink, but found that the ink in Yantai had long been empty, and the little turtle was lying on the edge of the inkstone, with its small mouth open and closed, as if it still wanted to drink.

"You glutton, I'll grind ink for you all day. Su Yi smiled helplessly.

Su Yi sharpened the ink again, picked up the pen and continued to practice calligraphy.

Halfway through the practice, Su Yi inadvertently raised her eyes and found that the little turtle had already looked full of food and drink, and when she saw Su Yi's gaze, she hurriedly pushed the inkstone forward, and at the same time, there was a look of anticipation in her eyes.

"You want me to drink this too?" Su Yi said in amazement.

The little turtle nodded.

Su Yi laughed, shook her head and said, "I'm not Chen Yi...... Slowly, we humans can't drink ink, and even if I'm a martial artist, I'll have a bad stomach. ”

A look of doubt flashed in the little turtle's eyes, as if he didn't understand why Su Yi didn't eat such a delicious thing.

"By the way, what else do you eat besides ink? I can't grind ink for you every day, my hands are sore. Su Yi asked.

The little turtle looked around, then shook his head.

"Nothing else you can eat here?" After Su Yi finished speaking, seeing the little turtle nodding, he said again, "Forget it, I'll give you ink for the time being, as long as you don't starve to death, I'll slowly find you something to eat in the future." ”

The little turtle was overjoyed in his eyes, and hurriedly crawled over and rubbed Su Yi's hand with its smooth little head.

Only then did Su Yi discover that the little turtle's original dark cyan body had now turned into a bright jade cyan.

"Could it be a manifestation of being full?" Su Yi guessed.

Then Su Yi stopped playing with the little turtle and settled down again to practice calligraphy.

After lunch, Su Yi handed over the little turtle to Su Shi'er, and then recited and understood the "Sun Wu Art of War" in the training ground, striving to increase his morale thickness to ten inches before April and reach the peak of martial arts.

Su Yi had been reading a book for two hours in the training ground, when she suddenly heard that Su Shi'er came to knock on the door.

"Yi'er, neighbors and some big local families have come to visit again, do you want to receive them?" asked Su Shi'er outside the door.

Su Yi had a strange face, thinking that these neighbors must have investigated him yesterday or this morning, and understood that he was the "Su Shichou", otherwise he would not have visited the door for two days in a row.

Su Yi immediately replied: "You just said that I am preparing for tomorrow's Star Picking Pavilion, and I can't meet the guests for the time being, so let them come back tomorrow; ”

"Okay!" Su Shi'er left in response.

Su Yi had been reading until dinner time, Su Yi looked up at the morale in the hands of the self-statue, and felt that the thickness of the morale had only increased a little, and suddenly sighed at the difficulty of raising the rank.

"Yesterday I was lucky enough to break the test plan, so my morale was one point thicker, but the remaining nine points ...... Even if I read books for twelve hours in the training ground every day until the academy examination starts in April, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to reach the peak of martial arts and not be able to participate in this year's academy examination. ”

After dinner, Ji Xianling came on time, but today his face was blue and he looked very unhappy.

Su Yi invited Ji County Order into the room, and then asked curiously, "Lord County, could it be that something bad happened?"

Ji Xianling's face was full of gloom, and as soon as he sat down at the table, he sighed shortly: "Something bad has indeed happened, and it's about you." Shang Shu ordered Lord Xu to send me a flying pigeon in the afternoon, saying that the court has been arguing for your reward in the past two days. Lord Xu has always advocated rewarding you heavily to motivate other soldiers, but they have all been pressed down by the queen and the hundred officials led by Zhongshu Ling and the two of them, I am afraid that in the end there will only be a little symbolic reward for you, you had better be mentally prepared first. ”

Su Yi's heart tightened, Shang Shuling, Zhongshu Ling, and his subordinates belonged to the heads of the three provinces, and the three of them shared the power of the prime minister equally, these three big men would quarrel for themselves? And the point is not this, Su Yi captured a very strange information from Ji County's words.

"Empress, the empress also participates in the government?" Su Yi said in surprise.

Ji Xian Ling glanced at Su Yi strangely, sighed at his sensitivity in his heart, and said: "Originally, only pedestrians and above could discuss the government affairs, but your status is special, and it doesn't hurt to tell you: more than six years ago, the current saint was infected with a strange illness and is still bedridden; and the prince is only four years old, and he can't even understand the government affairs, how can he act on behalf of the Son of Heaven? So all the power of the court and government has fallen into the hands of the queen, and the important decisions of the three provinces must be handed over to the queen for deliberation. ”

"This thing sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? There is a royal doctor in the court who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and the saint's illness has not improved for six years?" Su Yi frowned.

"Not only did he not get better, but he became more and more sick; some people suspected that the strange illness of the saint was caused by man, and there must be a shady curtain behind it; but the harem was all in the hands of the queen, and the imperial doctors kept silent, where to find evidence? Moreover, all the officials who dared to question it had been purged; and now all the people in the court were silent about the saint's illness, even Lord Xu, who was still the secretary of Shangshuling. If even Lord Xu is purged, I'm afraid the main battle faction will really fall. Ji Xianling shook his head.

Su Yi felt a little uneasy in her heart, she didn't expect that there would be so many shady scenes in the contemporary court.

"Is the power of the Lord and the Sect so great?" asked Su Yi.

"It's too big you can't imagine. During the period of the queen's six-year curtain listening to the government, many important ministers of the main battle faction returned to their hometowns one after another, and now only the officials of Shangshu Province and the right three departments are still struggling to support them; the queen, Zhongshu Ling, and the ministers led by the subordinates are all the main and one faction, occupying most of the power of the imperial court, and it can be said that they cover the sky with one hand. ”

Su Yi was taken aback and frowned, if the power of the Lord and the faction was so great, wouldn't it mean that the human race would definitely surrender to the barbarians in the future?

Su Yi remembered that in the later Southern Song Dynasty and the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were suppressed by foreign races, constantly ceded land and paid compensation, and signed unequal treaties, and it is not an exaggeration to say that history can be said to be synonymous with shame.

Su Yi didn't want this kind of humiliating history to happen in front of her eyes again.

"The imperial court wants to reward me, why should the Lord and the faction obstruct it?" asked Su Yi again.
