After the dispersal of the court, Li Chi was found by the Shangguan who came back from the next court, and then there was a meal, and his colleagues were even more complimented and envious of him, from beginning to end he was a small person, but this little person pryed the muddy waters of the Ming Dynasty, and the clan was ill.

His Majesty Chrysostom appreciated that this honor was very rare, although it was only a few words, it can be seen that it aroused the emperor's idea.

Li Chi returned the gift with some unknown reasons to express his modesty, if it was before, it would inevitably get carried away.

Colleagues congratulate each other, but in fact, they slander, what's the big deal, it's not to give you a promotion, look at you, you are too modest, and those who don't know think they have been promoted.

After a while, the slap in the face came.

"Where is the Hanlin Li Scripture, the Holy Decree will arrive, and you will be ready to meet the Holy Decree." Someone from the palace has passed the word.

Li Chi was stunned, take the order? Does the emperor have a holy decree for him?

"Minister, Li Chi of the Hanlin Classics welcomes the Holy Decree."

The colleagues slapped their faces, some were sour, some were envious, and some secretly muttered: "Then Li Chimo is not going to be promoted." ”

Yes, later the herald officer of the Ministry of Rites accompanied the palace attendants to read the decree.

Li Chiguan was promoted to Doctor of the Five Classics, that is, if you go one step further, you will be able to enter the palace to speak, that is, you will often have the qualification to see the driver, how rare it will be.

The expressions of jealousy, envy and hatred varied, the Shangguan praised the encouragement and congratulations, and the colleagues below complimented Li Chi stood for a moment after receiving the order.

Then he bowed his hand to a small inconspicuous building in the distance, where the new officials were staying, and then turned and walked away.

Yan Song was standing from a distance watching at the moment, and said goodbye.

Li Chi was promoted, Liu Zizhang went to the southwest to take charge of the government, what about me.

Yan Song was full of a wry smile, he was conceited and not lost to others, why did the emperor guard against him so much?

A smart person can naturally see through it, and he also knows what he has to do in order to win the emperor's trust, and stupid people will be resentful, Yan Song is a smart person and a capable minister, he knows that he has to work harder, and the emperor doesn't trust it, that is, he is not good enough.

He apologized to Li Chi, if it weren't for him, Li Chi would not be where he is today, and this promotion to the official can be regarded as a reward.

But Yan Song felt even more bitter, this is a hint given by His Majesty, do things well, I am watching you.

The emperor always looked at him, but he didn't say much, Yan Song said that he was helpless.

When I was young, there was a place for officials to eat in the Hanlin Academy, but the dishes were really not flattering, and the dynasty advocated diligence and thrift, so whether it was the emperor's meal or the official's meal, it was very bland, and the food was tasteless.

There are many officials who basically don't eat in the government, either bring their own food boxes, or take their own food to find food, Yan Song is one of them, of course, more importantly, he has to do this, as the emperor sent him to do "fine work" in the Qingliu, he is basically very competent.

Yan Song's subordinates wore regular clothes, and the clothes of officials could not be worn at will to enter and leave public places, this was the rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, even if it was a royal family, it could not be violated, the ancestral system.

So even if you go down and it's inconvenient to change your robes, no one dares to complain.

To find food, he changed into his regular clothes, Yan Song held his hands, as usual, and walked towards a small restaurant, people who are familiar with him know that he is very fond of the food in this shop, someone once came to eat once, and felt that it was just like that, the taste was ordinary, and I don't know why Yan Bian likes it here.

"Yan Bian is going out to eat." Menzi greets.

Yan Song nodded with a smile; "yes, I'm not looking for something to eat to fill my stomach."

In the entire Hanlin Academy, Yan Song is an outlier among the Qinglius, he is not like those Hanlin people who have a shelf, he is very kind, even if you are a person who is doing chores in it, you can talk to this codification master, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

After Menzi bowed down to send Yan Song out, he got up respectfully and said to himself; "I have been an errand boy in this Hanlin Academy for half my life, and I have seen many adults, and this Yan compilation is different, and he will definitely be a great figure in the future."

Someone next to him asked puzzled; "Old Niu, what do you say? Isn't it just a compilation, the dynasty selects scholars every three years, and there are so many masters in the Hanlin Academy, why are you so polite to Yan compilation. ”

Menzi, who was called an old cow, smiled; "You don't understand, we can't tell, anyway, I think Lord Yan is not ordinary."

The other person teased; "If you say it clearly, then you won't be guarding the gate here, hehe."

Yan Song had already walked away and didn't hear the muttering behind him.

At this time, he came to the outside of the small shop as usual and was about to enter.

But soon, he was stunned on the spot, and whispered in his mouth.

"Emperor.... Emperor. ”

I'll go!

Zhu Houzhao looked confused, went out in civilian clothes, and took Yang Shen and Liu Jin with him, and was actually recognized.

Yan Song is not leaving at the moment, nor is he saluting, fortunately he is smart and did not shout, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would have to strip him.

"Xia, Xiaguan, I've seen Zhu Gongzi." He didn't dare to go too far, so he had to give up his hand a little.

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, since he was bumped into by Yan Song, he was alive and dead, but since he saw it, he thought of Yan Song's recent performance, and considered whether to put some burden on him.

"Lord Yan, is this?" Yang Shen said with a smile.

Yan Song knew that Yang Shen couldn't afford to offend, so he replied cautiously: "It's time to go to the office, my stomach is empty, and I'm about to look for some food." After speaking, he pointed to the small restaurant next to him.

Zhu Hou took a clear look, Yan Song couldn't advance or retreat, and if the emperor didn't speak, we wouldn't dare to leave.

In the small dining hall, there was a little second shouting; "Yo, Yan Bian is coming to dinner, please come inside, take a seat inside, please."

Yan Song smiled, but he was a little reluctant, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile; "I had nothing to do, I never thought we could meet here." He looked up at this small dining hall, which was placed in Beijing, and it could only be regarded as reluctant, didn't he expect Yan Song to be so frugal?

"Well, I've been gone for a long time, and my son is tired, so you're going to break the bank today." Zhu Houzhao spoke.

Thinking that Yan Song has also helped him a lot, especially this time, his ability to do things has made Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen praise endlessly, and it is still necessary to give some grace appropriately, so as not to chill Yan Song's heart.

Yang Shen actually admired Yan Song very much, but he always felt that Zhu Houzhao was very defensive of Yan Song, and he was not easy to ask, but at this moment he understood the purpose of a good friend, so he said with a smile; "So-and-so followed Zhu Gongzi to get a little light."

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that this was Jinyiwei's secret pavilion, if he knew, he wouldn't have said this, which was embarrassing.

He didn't know, but Yan Song knew, and he said embarrassedly; "Zhu Gongzi said with a smile, why don't we change to another room, here..., I'm afraid it's not Zhu Gongzi who is stained, but Yan Mou's rudeness." He was even more embarrassed.

Zhu Houzhao did not doubt that he was there, and he still said heartily; "What? Lord Yan is going to spend money to invite my son to a better place? ”

Yang Shen was suspicious, looking at Yan Song's embarrassed expression, it seemed that he had something to say.

Xiao Er looked at Zhu Houzhao and the three of them, the emperor and his little Jinyi guard spy must not be qualified to know, Yang Shen is a little familiar, as for the white-faced bearded man on the side, my mother, isn't that Liu Jin and Liu's father-in-law?

He was clever, and when he saw this, he ran to the inner hall.

After a while, Xiao Ting, a thousand households in the inner city, appeared quickly, and was just about to shout to see, Xiao Er reacted, quickly pulled his sleeve, and whispered; "Father-in-law Liu is in civilian clothes, and adults are not allowed to pay a big salute."

Xiao Ting shuddered, Liu Jin had already glared at him, startling him, who else in the world could let Liu Jin accompany him?

Zhu Houzhao also understood when he saw this, and frowned, okay! No wonder Yan Song looked embarrassed, it turned out that this was my own Jinyi Wei Secret Pavilion!

Yang Shen laughed and said in Zhu Houzhao's ear; "Your Majesty, I think it's better to go in first and then say, hehe....!"

Zhu Houzhao glared at him and walked in with his head held high.

In the middle, Xiao Ting and Yan Song knelt down to pay respects.

"Xiaguan, Xiao Ting of a thousand households in the inner city, Yan Song, compiled by Hanlin, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Excuse me, get up and speak."

Yan Song got up, still half-bowed, and started to play; "Commander Mu set up a dark room here, and the ministers provide news of the Hanlin Academy every day, and I don't want to be lucky enough to meet His Majesty today, and the ministers are not very honored and afraid."

Zhu Houzhao nodded; "I hit it by mistake today, Mu Bin is doing things well, you are not bad, you are good at doing things." His words were still warning.

Yan Song understood and nodded yes.

Yang Shen didn't interject, just looked at Yan Song.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Ting again and asked; "Tell me about what's happened in the capital recently."

Xiao Qianhu knelt down, he was not qualified to stand and reply.

"Everything is fine in the capital, Jinyiwei does not dare to slack off in the slightest, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, got up and said; "So call Mu Bin to see me in Qionglou later."

Yan Song lowered his head calmly, Zhu Houzhao glanced at him, and smiled and encouraged; "I am not a stingy man."

Zhu Houzhao left after speaking, when Yang Shen passed by Yan Song's side, he glanced at him, Yan Song's face seemed to be happy, but in fact it was indifferent, which made him secretly admire.

"Your Majesty... Zhu Gongzi planned to use this person, but was he deliberately sharpening him? Yang Shen tried.

Zhu Houzhao said; "Yan Song's talent can be included in the cabinet council."

Yang Shen nodded in approval when he heard this, he participated in the planning of many things, Yan Song was the executor, and even filled the gaps for him and His Majesty, from this point he knew that Yan Song was not simple.

Zhu Houzhao continued; "This person's ability is good, but his ambition is not small, such a person is a double-edged sword, just like Hu Weiyong of Taizu, do you understand it with cultivation?"

Only then did Yang Shen understand the emperor's plan, and it turned out that he had already seen through this person.

"Since Childe knows what is coming, why do you sharpen and give him the opportunity to reuse?" Yang Shen didn't understand.

Zhu Houzhao's empty eyes appeared again, and Yang Shen swore that he was absolutely not mistaken.

"He didn't have a chance to be Hu Weiyong." When he said this, that kind of momentum made Yang Shen feel impressed for no reason.

However, he was still not convinced; "Why is Childe convinced that he can't?"

"Because I am the Son of Heaven, Chrysostom contains the constitution." Zhu Houzhao said deliberately.

Yang Shen was silent.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao came out to go to Qionglou for a while, but every time he encountered an emergency, he gave up halfway.

No, I just met Yan Song when I went out, and trouble came again.

met an acquaintance again, or someone Zhu Houzhao didn't want to provoke.

Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen were talking, and Liu Jin was serving cautiously on the side, often interjecting to make fun, and walked towards Qionglou.

Just walking around the corner, Du Yushi Tuxun happened to go out of the palace, so he couldn't die, and when he saw Yang Shen and Zhu Houzhao, as well as Liu Jin, his angry chin and beard rose a few times.

"Your Majesty...., Your Majesty .....!"

Damn, who is this?

Zhu Houzhao was furious in his heart, and Liu Jin was about to scold.

Not far from him, Tu Xun was standing in front of the street, looking at this place with angry eyes.

I'm slot, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, I really don't have anything to do today.

Yang Shen was well-behaved, he had already bowed down, performed the salute of his juniors, and then stood behind Zhu Houzhao.

He meant a younger generation to greet the elders, and it was also a reminder.

Tu Xun nodded slightly, looking very serious.

Liu Jin bowed slightly.

Zhu Houzhao looked embarrassed, plus he was calm when riding a tiger.

"Tu..., Tu Qing, I, I just went out of the palace to observe the people's feelings... I'm going back to the palace. Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded, reacted quickly, and took the initiative to admit it.

It's okay to leave the palace, but please don't let the ministers catch you.

Now, although the courtiers turned a blind eye to his behavior, it was only an attitude of not seeing out of sight.

Wow, the emperor is out of the palace again, and he was arrested, this is very embarrassing, don't coax it, otherwise you are ready to be impeached, you can't refute it yet.

Fortunately, he was not arrested after he entered Qionglou, otherwise Hua Mei Jiao Niang, I am afraid that she will be eaten by these imperial historians, and his first reputation of Zhu Houzhao is over.

Zhu Houzhao shouted bad luck in his heart, and he walked very decisively, and he didn't give Tu Xun a chance to play the function of the imperial history mouth cannon at all.

"Your Majesty......" Tu Xun didn't dare to shout loudly, and finally shook his head helplessly, and said to himself in his heart, Your Majesty... How so! Lao Chen didn't want to find trouble!

After Wang Qiong was reprimanded, Tu Xun of the Inspectorate was regarded as a word.

Originally, he also supported Wang Qiong, but later knew that he was being used, and the emperor did not blame him, Tu Xun changed his attitude and always wanted to find an opportunity to ease the atmosphere with his subordinates with Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing that the opportunity came, he didn't expect the emperor to be scared away by his mouth.

This is really strange through the ages, Lao Tu laughed at himself and turned around
