Renjie, it's not out of the ordinary lately. Tong Guan took small steps and followed behind Li Kui, although the stride was small, but the speed did not look satisfactory at all. Especially the kind of waist up that doesn't move, and the hakama seems to be puffed up by a strong wind, as if stepping on the hot wheels.

Fan Chong just wanted to get closer, but when he heard Tong Guan say this lukewarmly, he immediately kept a considerable distance from Li Kui.

Hakama, in fact, there is nothing unseemly.

The upper and lower garments, the hakama refers to the part below the waist. In a narrower sense, it refers to trousers, such as hakama, which is a long coat worn on the upper body, and hakama is trousers, which were originally used as cavalry breeches. Later, it evolved into the style of court clothes and regular clothes, and after the appearance of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was reborn. Tong Guan is a eunuch in the palace, and he is not qualified to wear very casual clothes. The palace is strictly hierarchical, and Tong Guan is also a well-ranked eunuch, and he wears the official clothes in the palace all year round.

is like the beauties, Jieyu, noble concubines, nobles, and waiters in the palace...... These concubines are huge, how can the emperor recognize them all? If it weren't for the difference in clothing, wouldn't the emperor even know the identity of the person who was sleeping in the bed? Isn't the huge harem a mess?

Plus in court etiquette, moderation always comes first.

Even if the eunuch walks on weekdays and can't move his shoulders, no matter whether he is drooping or his back is straight, he must have a royal bearing. But the palace is too big to run. You can only speed up by sprinting. Over time, it will be a personal one, obviously walking fast, but it seems to be drifting weird.

Li Yun looked at Tong Guan's performance with novelty, and the corners of his mouth made a trilling sound.

Li Kui didn't have the slightest awareness of doing a small business, and said with a straight face: "I'm a serious person." ”

Tong Guan can only roll his eyes to express his disdain in his heart, are you a serious person? Then there is no bad guy in Da Song. For Li Kui, Tong Guan has an unforgettable memory, the hundreds of imperial cities in Linyi City were folded in the hands of Li Kui and Li Quan, and outside Yingzhou City, this goods actually jumped from the city, and the rebels fought to the death, and finally succeeded in eating black.

This is still the glorious past when Tong Guan left the palace twice in the past 20 years, saw Li Kui twice, and committed crimes twice.

Li Kui wants to say that he keeps to himself, Tong Guan will not believe anything, not only does he not believe it, but if he is not a little afraid of Li Kui's unstingy character, he will definitely spit on this guy's face with a mouthful of saliva, so that he can understand what is going on with his character.

However, Li Kui's identity is different now, and even Tong Guan feels amazing, this guy is actually a tribute, and he is still the top 20 tributes on the list.

Tong Guan even had the illusion that the examiners of the provincial examination in the first year of Shaosheng had let Li Kui buy it out.

But this is definitely impossible to happen, Li Kui can buy him Tongguan, but he will definitely not be able to sell a hard bone like Li Qingchen. In the face of Li Kui, he used to be able to say it face to face, but now Li Kui is the elite among the tributes, and he will definitely not be able to escape the identity of a Jinshi in a few days, so he will not be able to escape the relationship between him and the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be a Jinshi and the first, but it is really not difficult to be a Jinshi.

Today's Tong Guan, saying to his face that Li Kui is not, must not have the courage, so he can only persuade: "Renjie, you will be given a jinshi background in the next few days for the provincial high school examination, and you will be an official in the future, but you don't dare to treat your reputation and official fortune as a child's play." ”

Li Kui touched his chin and pondered: "That's the truth, you have to keep a low profile in the future." If the general judgment is really made, this unrestrained good day will come to an end. ”

General verdict?

Tong Guan glared and said, "What do you want to do well?" This is a preferential treatment only for champions. ”

"How many years of friendship between you and my uncle and nephew, you always help me say a few more good words in front of Your Majesty, won't I be a good one?" Li Kui felt that Tong Guan definitely didn't want to contribute, although the promotion of ordinary second-class jinshi was not too slow, but the start was very difficult, and Taixue was becoming the best choice for most second-class jinshi. He didn't want to learn too much. said that he was a scholar, but in fact, he was the assistant of Dr. Taixue, who took classes for students on weekdays, and when the doctor was not available, he held idle official positions such as substitute teaching.

I don't want to be a petty official like a professor, a county officer, or a master bookkeeper.

There is no challenge at all, not to mention, in officialdom, everyone can be bullied, and it is boring. At least it has to be a prefectural ordinance, right? Otherwise, Li Kui really wouldn't be able to give people a new treatment of officialdom as a little daughter-in-law.

"This kind of nonsense, I don't dare to talk nonsense when I see Your Majesty." Tong Guan seems to be able to feel Li Kui's inactive attitude towards being an official. But the question is, which onion is he when he is promoted to a civil official, how can the emperor listen to his advice?

However, Li Kui also felt it a little, and asked Tong Guan: "By the way, what is the so-called matter summoned by Your Majesty?" ”

"This, when you enter the palace, you will naturally know when you see Your Majesty, our family is just an idle slave in the palace, how can you know the mind of the saint. However, you don't have to worry, Lord Li sent the list of tributes to the palace, and His Majesty was really happy after seeing it. ”

I have to say that Tong Guan is still an ally of the same camp as Li Kui, and he gave Li Kui a wake-up call without a trace, and the emperor was happy.

Why was the emperor happy?

Most of them saw Li Kui and Fan Chong go to high school, which is undoubtedly great news for the emperor who has no one to use.

In the Great Song Dynasty, if the examiners were the first to know the provincial examination list, then outside the Gongyuan, there was only one person who knew the results of the provincial examination - the emperor.

After the list was transcribed, it was not sent to the outside of the tribute courtyard for posting as soon as possible, but sent to the palace, so that the emperor could see it, and then handed it over to the prime minister, that is, the seal of the Pingzhang under the door of the same book.

Of course, the Yuan You period was a special case, and the Empress Dowager Xuanren was a woman, and she did not plan to learn from Wu Zetian far away and Liu E from near. Instead, she handed over the court's talent ceremony to her trusted courtiers. The ranking of the provincial examination is the ranking of the palace examination. It was only during this period that the first place in the provincial examination was the champion of the imperial examination that year.

In fact, the emperor had long wanted to preside over a palace examination.

It's a pity that the closest imperial examination to the first year of Shaosheng, the Empress Dowager Xuanren was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and she didn't give him a chance at all. Empress Dowager Gao lowered the curtain and listened to the government, how could she hand over power?

Thanks to the Empress Dowager Gao, otherwise if she lived for ten more years, she would be able to walk in front of her imperial grandmother with the temperament of the little emperor.

Before this, Zhao Xu was too young, and he was suppressed by his imperial grandmother since he was a child, so he didn't dare to give birth to even the slightest trace of resistance. If you have an idea, you can only hold it in your heart. But when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, the emperor genes in his blood began to trouble, encouraging him to start moving towards the thousand-year hegemony.

Or the rebellious psychology of the young man, which made him begin to test his imperial grandmother's bottom line little by little.

I have made trouble, hated, and at the same time I have despaired.

It's normal to be desperate, even your own queen is the person of the imperial grandmother, and in the entire harem, there are still years to be trusted?

The first person Zhao Xu believed in the palace was only one woman, and that was Liu Qingjing.

In recent years, Zhao Xu has been frantically trying to cultivate his cronies. But as an emperor, an emperor who has been stripped of all power, any act of cultivating cronies is an offense to those in power. He flinched, scared. When the Empress Dowager Xuanren died, he was still afraid. Because his mother-in-law is the Empress Dowager Xiang, his mother can only become a concubine.

In the high palace walls, it is not only his body that is imprisoned, but also his ambition.

He is in charge of a dynasty with a population of 10,000,000 and a territory of 10,000 miles. For Zhao Xu, ambition is far from enough, he needs talents, talents that can be trusted.

But such talents, before Zhao Xu became pro-government, there were only two people around him, Han Deqin and Liu Qingjing. One is a ten martial arts, one is a woman, or a woman who is confused.

The former is the emperor's personal janissary general, and the latter is the emperor's most trusted woman in the harem. Such a combination ran out to reason with the old men who had been up and down in officialdom for decades, and they didn't know if they were sold. For this reason, Zhao Xu had to continue to disguise himself and not let his ambitions be exposed in the eyes of the world.

Of course, he also believed in his biological mother, Concubine Zhu, but his biological mother's personality was too weak, and she knew a little secret, so she was cold all over her body and was about to get seriously ill. made his heart suddenly cold in half, so much so that he even felt a little pity for his biological mother. The palace, but the cannibalistic Shura field, so weak, can still be safe and sound, which makes Zhao Xu feel incredible, and can only explain that his blessings have favored his poor biological mother.

All over the world, Zhao Xu can only trust two people, and neither of them can get out of the palace surrounded by high walls, this kind of sadness made him want to give up on himself for a while.

Even after he became pro-government, Zhang Dian, Cai Bian, Li Qingchen, Zeng Bu, these officials of the Fa-changing faction were summoned to the capital by him one by one, but he also saw clearly that in the face of interests, these people did not sell his face.

The emperor is desperate to cultivate the strength of his cronies, and it has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.

And Li Kui's appearance suddenly made him see hope.

Li Kui and the Liu family are very close, it can be said that no matter which leg he enters the officialdom, he is a member of the imperial party, and Zhao Xu will definitely not need to worry about using it.

Secondly, Li Kui's ability is good.

At least before he came out, it caused a controversy among the courtiers, or an argument between Fan Chunren and Zhang Dian and others. It shows that the talent has been able to impress the prime minister, and it is reasonable to be promoted faster.

After entering the palace, Li Kui followed Tong Guan.

He was curious that Tong Guan did not go to the vertical arch hall where the emperor worked, let alone the core area of the secretary province, the Longtu Pavilion. These two complexes where emperors often haunted the administration of the court. Instead, he walked forward with his head in his head, passed through the position of the three major halls, and walked forward quickly.

Li Kui asked, "Father-in-law Tong, where is this taking us?" If you go again, are you going to the harem? ”

When Tong Guan turned around, a layer of hot sweat was already floating on his forehead, and he gasped and said slightly: "If you want to go, our family doesn't dare to take you there, the foreign minister enters the harem, but it is a capital crime." Even with our family, I have to accompany you to die. ”

I have to say that eunuchs are very desperate for their lives, and if they can not die, no matter how hard and difficult it is, they must live.

The personal experience of many senior eunuchs told them that living in the palace is hope.

Tong Guan continued: "Go to the court, Your Majesty should play football on the court at this time. ”

Li Kui was silent, although morning exercise is very important, but it is a bit too much to continue morning exercise until noon. Zhao Xu, who was originally a very diligent young man, gradually distorted into the appearance of a faint king.

Gao Yu is too good at confusing the emperor.

Far away from the stadium, Li Kui and the others heard hundreds of little Huangmen palace maids shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, brave and invincible, invincible!" ”

"Longevity is boundless, martial arts are world-famous!"

Li Yun felt that it was exaggerated, and asked Li Kui in a low voice: "What is going on with this mess?" ”

Li Kui watched dumbfounded at the huge court, the little emperor struggled to carry the ball from one side of the court to the other, and then turned back and continued to make fools.

And Gao Yu is like the head coach of the Circle Society, standing on the sidelines with a breezy look, and frequently bowing his head.

Tong Guan didn't dare to disturb the emperor's Yaxing at all, so he could only wait quietly near the edge of the court. On the contrary, the emperor stopped, took the sweat towel from the palace maid's hand, wiped a handful of hot sweat, and walked towards Li Kui and them.

While walking, he said to Hao Sui beside him: "Set the meal!" ”

Not long after, under Li Kui's surprised gaze, Zhao Xu happily ate two bowls of dry rice in a row, and then he eased up. said proudly to Li Kui: "I have been blessed recently!" ”

Li Kui looked at the emperor left and right, Zhao Xu's original figure was not tall, nor short, if measured by the standards of later generations, it was about one meter seventy-five, less than a hundred catties. The flesh on his cheeks was deep, and he looked like a tuberculosis ghost. Now it has risen by about six or seven catties, which is more than 100 catties, where is this fortune?

At most, it is good to recover from a serious illness!

But to say this, what kind of emotional intelligence should this EQ become?

Li Kui hurriedly bowed down and said happily: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, refining Xiaocheng!" ”

There is no emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who does not believe in Taoism since Zhenzong. Infatuated with all kinds of Taoist sayings, the words refining the body were exported, which suddenly made the little emperor a little carried away.

"Haha...... It's all thanks to Aiqing's work. In the past two months, I have exercised more, and my diet has begun to accept some greasy food, and Zhao Xu, who feels that he is in good health, has the publicity of a young genius: "I still have to forge ahead and strive to practice to achieve great success!" ”
