In the Tang Dynasty, people generally bathed and cleansed themselves at home, and they began to use bath buckets, also known as bath dungeons.

Dendrobes are usually large and quite deep, allowing the entire upper body to be buried in water. Not only that, but there is a stool called a bath bed at the bottom of the bath, so that you can sit and take a bath, and it is also convenient to get up.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong was bathing in a small room specially opened up in Chang'an's home, and the whole person was soaked in water, but the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

He killed tonight, but it wasn't the first time he had killed. Hexi has been in power for four years, and he is the number one in both black and white in Shazhou, and he has killed several people with his own hands, and there are countless people who indirectly sent Zhang Guangsheng or A Duan to kill.

In the past few years, he has become an authentic border town Qiu Ba, and his thinking mode can be seamlessly connected with those Qiu Ba! This is also an important reason why the Hexi border army likes other envoys.

Killing people is nothing big deal. It's just a craft to make a living, it's not something to be proud of, it's nothing to be taken lightly, it's just a tool to your own devices.

Fang Chongyong closed his eyes, and all that flashed in his mind were the scenes of swords and swords he had experienced in the border town of Shazhou.

Crash!

A white figure also got into the bath, Fang Chongyong opened his eyes, and found that this person was not Anaye, who had followed him all the way, but Wang Yunxiu, who had been running the family here and keeping the empty house in good order!

That's right, this one ran away from home and no longer plans to return to his hometown in Huaxian. The reason why Wang Yunxiu let go of the girl's reserve and stayed here in vain was because she was now "suffering from internal and external troubles", and she couldn't tell if she was suffering!

Internally, there is "Sao Fox" Anaye, who gets along with Fang Chongyong day and night and has a deep relationship. Wang Yunxiu is gone, and Fang Chongyong is not without women by his side.

Externally, many people went to Huaxian County to lobby Wang Yunxiu's mother to get their family to divorce the Fang family.

Now Fang Chongyong is a teenage Shazhou assassin, a fourth-grade official with real power. Ordinary scholars in the imperial examination, after the middle examination, it will take ten to fifteen years to achieve this achievement! That's still the fastest speed!

The starting point was more than fifteen years late, Fang Chongyong.

Wang Yunxiu never expected that in just a few years, Fang Chongyong had already become the number one bait in the Tang Dynasty wedding market.

"What does that sassy fox cook for you every day, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you look like a bear? How can you be like this? ”

Wang Yunxiu asked with a sour taste in his mouth, stroking the strong muscles on Fang Chongyong's arm with his little hand, his heart jumping wildly.

When the two made love for the first time, Fang Chongyong's majestic manly aura made her so intoxicated that she almost fainted.

"Don't say it so ugly, Anaye is the illegitimate daughter of Li Yi, King of Xin'an, you should speak politely in the future."

Fang Chongyong reminded in a low voice.

"There's such a thing!"

Wang Yunxiu stood up directly in surprise, and her slender figure loomed in the faint firelight.

"Don't tell her. I told you because you are the lady of the main room, and her life experience is very extraordinary. ”

Fang Chongyong squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Alas! It's a hard life! How to stand up to you monster. ”

Wang Yunxiu, who has a straightforward personality, sat helplessly in the water, and looked at Fang Chongyong, with a helpless smile on his face, and a faint flush.

Now, if you're not careful, I'm afraid that even the lady of the main room won't be able to keep it.

"Don't worry, I made a promise to you."

Fang Chongyong held Wang Yunxiu's little hand, looked at her very sincerely, and said.

"I've been in Chang'an for the past few years, you've been here to do it, thank you."

Fang Chongyong said as he pulled Wang Yunxiu into his arms, and the two were skin-to-skin and hugged each other tightly.

Anaye is still a virgin, but Wang Yunxiu is already Fang Chongyong's woman through and through. For his wife, Fang Chongyong was very possessive of her, and he didn't say anything polite to the other party at all. Losing this lady in the main room, Fang Chongyong's losses in all aspects are unimaginable, and he must not lose this marriage.

Like it or not, it's all the same.

What's more, he still likes Wang Yunxiu.

So the last time Wang Yunxiu went to Hexi, the two had already enjoyed the joy of fish and water.

Anaye will definitely not be able to run away, but Wang Yunxiu's status is in jeopardy, and Fang Chongyong is very worried about her, so he used this way to tell her that since there has been a husband and wife, there will definitely be no change in their marriage.

"You don't know how powerful you are now, even the right minister Li Linfu has sent someone to greet my mother, hoping that we will break the marriage contract, and he will recruit you as a son-in-law!

You say you're outrageous! ”

Wang Yunxiu leaned her head on Fang Chongyong's neck, kissing each other while sighing and complaining.

For Wang Yunxiu, so many people competing for her fiancé Fang Chongyong greatly satisfied her vanity.

However, that can't be a heavyweight like Li Linfu to find fault!

This kind of thing is actually normal to think about, a teenage thorn history, Li Linfu will also be very greedy. After all, this right-hand minister of the Tang Dynasty has more than 20 daughters, and the probability of fault tolerance is extremely high! can pull a son-in-law like Fang Chongyong, no matter how you look at it, it is blood gain!

With more than 20 daughters, can't Fang Chongyong look down on any of them?

If he can get more than 20 sons-in-law like Fang Chongyong, Li Linfu can directly overthrow Brother Ji!

"Why did the right son-in-law come to me? Who doesn't know I'm engaged to you now. ”

Fang Chongyong asked puzzled.

Just by virtue of his own time in Hexi, Wang Zhongsi desperately used his power to take care of other Fang Yanei, and everyone else should understand what was going on.

"The situation in Chang'an is different! What a wooden fish head you are! How many people in Datang can be a assassin at such an age!

What is cheekiness, even if you want to take a concubine now, the powerful family is willing to pinch your nose and send your daughter over! ”

Wang Yunxiu complained dissatisfiedly.

"Don't be angry, I'll rub your back."

Fang Chongyong smeared the honey locust powder on Wang Yunxiu's smooth back and began to rub it slowly. He has practiced on Anaye and believes that his level is definitely not bad.

"Tomorrow, you accompany me to the West Market to buy some fine gorgeous fabrics to make clothes, yours and mine will be made, and we will use them immediately."

Wang Yunxiu hummed comfortably while trying to say in a calm tone.

"What's it for?"

"Saint...... 's birthday. ”

Wang Yunxiu's breathing gradually became short, and he muttered that he was about to lose it anymore.

"Got it, I'll go, but you can't go. The saint is very lustful, and once he takes a fancy to you, you will be miserable.

In the future, you must never appear in front of the saint, even if he comes to the house, you must avoid suspicion and don't come out, just pretend to be sick. ”

Fang Chongyong warned in a serious tone.

Wang Yunxiu was slightly stunned, then her heart was extremely sweet, and she nodded and said:

"Okay, then I won't go. In fact, I plan to go to the palace with you to attend the saint's birthday banquet, just to take an oath and tell others that you are my husband. Let those people not have any bad ideas.

But now that you're saying that, I think it's a bit of a no-brainer. ”

If Anaya is a soft-mouthed and reasonable soft girl, then Wang Yunxiu is a virtuous helper who understands righteousness, and she will definitely do what she promises.

Fang Chongyong suddenly put his mind at ease, and he asked with some doubts: "I entrusted you to help me inquire about the news of Chang'an in all aspects, could it be that there is something wrong with the saint?" ”

Wang Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Yes, the saint now...... Life is very erosive. You say that a saint will be happy when he sees a beauty, and I believe this.

The three ladies of the Yang family, although they were canonized by the saints, were all obscene and lowly people, and they also kept faces.

The saint was often with them, alienating the concubines in the palace. The saint did not feel strange about what he did and the concubine did.

In recent years, the atmosphere in Chang'an has also deteriorated a lot, and young women will often be harassed and even plundered by the children of powerful people when they go out, and Jingzhao Mansion is useless. The concubine now wears a hat and a sword when she goes out, and she doesn't dare to be careless.

By the way, you let that ...... Anaye went out and paid attention. ”

Wang Yunxiu complained about Zheng Shuqing, who was incompetent as an official.

"I'm quitting."

Fang Chongyong suddenly said softly.

Well?

Wang Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Why do you want to resign?" ”

"The government is gradually dimming, and I am now a thorn in history, climbing too fast and the foundation is unstable.

All power comes from the gifts of the saints. The higher you climb now, the worse you will fall in the future.

While no one notices me, I will resign and go home to study, and then take the imperial examination. ”

Fang Chongyong said a decision that made Wang Yunxiu almost angry.

"You tell me to take a break."

Wang Yunxiu took a deep breath, rubbed her temples, and asked, "You're going to resign, right?" ”

"Yes, after the debriefing, just don't go to the election of officials."

Fang Chongyong said fearlessly.

"Uh, and then you said you went to study, to go to the country and some kind of place, right?"

Wang Yunxiu continued to ask.

"Almost, it's all right, Hongwen Pavilion, Chongwen Pavilion or something.

Anyway, it's just a test qualification. ”

Fang Chongyong continued to perfunctory.

"Okay, okay, don't mention that. Then you have to take the imperial examination, the smoothest situation, after the examination this year, wait for another three years, and then participate in the election of officials, right? ”

Wang Yunxiu is a girl who has been studying since she was a child, and she has a wide range of knowledge, which is far from being comparable to a native girl like Anaye. Although Anaye is now very bewitching, she ...... In terms of knowledge, it is still limited to medical skills!

Wang Yunxiu is far stronger than her in terms of personal knowledge.

"Probably so."

Fang Chongyong didn't understand very well, after all, he had never planned to take the imperial examination before.

"Although the concubine body is not a male body, she also knows a truth. Those who have been officials, if they do not have official positions, can go to the Ministry of Officials to participate in the assessment and be awarded an official position immediately.

Or wait for the election of officials at home, the concubine will not be in a hurry, and will not urge Ah Lang to become an official.

It's just that...... Where have I ever seen an official who has been an assassin go back to study, and then go back to be an official after passing the imperial examination! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Yunxiu is already not good!

"You said you hadn't seen it, but the one you have in front of you now, isn't it?"

Fang Chongyong pointed at himself and asked rhetorically.

Wang Yunxiu slapped his head suddenly, now he just wants to go out and stab Fang Chongyong to death with a knife!

Seeing that she was a little angry, Fang Chongyong continued to ask: "The rules of the imperial court, did it say that those who have been officials cannot take the imperial examination?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yunxiu was suddenly stunned.

A person who has been a assassin and then goes to the imperial examination is of course a pure fool. However, it seems that the imperial court does not stipulate that those who have been big officials cannot go back to take the imperial examination!

It's just that no one wants to do that, but it doesn't mean that the passage is blocked.

Seeing that Wang Yunxiu had already figured this out, Fang Chongyong said triumphantly: "Look, I'm right, right? ”

"Yes, Ah Lang, what a smart person you are, you can think of this kind of good idea, and that Hexi Tuniu is really a natural pair, you should hurry back to Liangzhou and cool up."

Chang'an is not for you. ”

Wang Yunxiu was powerless to complain about Fang Chongyong's crooked reasoning, and said angry words in his mouth.

"Chang'an, this vanity fair, the water is too muddy.

Stepping aside helps to see the situation clearly, to take yourself out, and to be a bystander.

Moreover, the father-in-law's military power is not so stable, and he depends entirely on the holy family.

If I go to be an official now, I will be from the border town of Sipin, and I will definitely enter the center as an official after I am elected.

Do you think, my father-in-law is the envoy of the festival, and my father is the envoy of the scriptures, if I am still in the center as a high official, what will the saint think?

If we get closer to a certain prince, will the saint think that we want to follow the dragon's work?

Don't you hear the reason that when the moon is full, you will lose, and safety comes first. ”

Fang Chongyong patiently persuaded and grabbed Wang Yunxiu's shoulder.

"Alas, look at my brain, and see only one and not the other.

Ah Lang is so right, let's take the imperial examination! ”

Wang Yunxiu listened to Fang Chongyong's words, and immediately felt that the idea of taking the imperial examination was too wonderful!

"Right?

If the sage asked me why I wanted to take the imperial examination, then I would say that I didn't want to rely on the favor of my father, but wanted to rely on my own strength to become an official.

Even if you are successfully admitted this year, it will take three years to wait for the election of officials.

Three years later, it's a different story. ”

Fang Chongyong looked at the faint candlelight in the room and muttered to himself.

"Uh, does Ah Lang think that the entrance examination is easy?"

Wang Yunxiu looked at Fang Chongyong with a strange look and asked.

"For me, the entrance examination is like picking up things."

Fang Chongyong said with an indifferent face.

Some people participate in the imperial examination, and it is basically certain that they will never win; But some people participate in the imperial examination, but they will be successful no matter what.

This is where Datang's unfairness lies.

Even if Li Linfu didn't let Fang Chongyong get into the jinshi, Brother Ji would let him win. Otherwise, this matter will evolve into: Wang Zhongsi and Fang Youde, the two festival envoys, will lose power, and there will be a major change in the prelude to the court situation!

Brother Ji can't enjoy it now, what are you doing with this!

Taking advantage of Wang Yunxiu's inattention, Fang Chongyong picked him up by the waist, his well-defined muscles formed a sharp contrast with Wang Yunxiu's soft and gentle body curves.

"I'm going to die, you black bear didn't toss me enough last time in Hexi?"

Wang Yunxiu's eyes were like silk.

"Let's go, let's go see if Anaye is asleep."

Fang Chongyong bit Wang Yunxiu's ear and said.

……

The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments. In the past few years, Li Linfu has been the right minister, and he has always served as the secretary of the ministry, and he has never changed.

It stands to reason that the Ministry of Officials is only a department for official adjustment, and it is not engaged in "real administration" itself, and it should be the most idle department.

However, contrary to what was imagined, since the invention of the "Ministry of Officials", it has been one of the busiest institutions in the center. The people waiting for the election of officials are really running here like flies.

The locations of the six offices are all south of Taiji Palace, north of Taichang Temple in the palace city, a place called "Shangshu Province".

On this day, Fang Chongyong entered the palace with the identity certificate of the assassin and came to the yamen of the ministry. As soon as I came in, I saw that many people were queuing up here to wait for the election of officials.

It was much more exaggerated than when the bank was busy in the previous life, and the long queue was much more exaggerated.

Fang Chongyong was very consciously ranked last, but before the time for a stick of incense, a green-robed petty official who was on an errand in the ministry came over, and the other party Chongyong crossed his hands and saluted and said: "Fang Envoy Jun, Li Shangshu is invited, here and here." ”

"Which Li Shangshu?"

Fang Chongyong asked suspiciously.

The man seemed to be shocked by Fang Chongyong's ignorance, and hurriedly pulled him aside and reminded in a low voice: "It's the right minister!" ”

There is no need to queue up and there is someone specially responsible for picking up, coupled with Fang Chongyong's tall and burly figure, which suddenly became the focus of the yamen hall and attracted everyone's attention.

"Sue the guilt!"

Fang Chongyong bowed embarrassedly to the people around him, looking extremely humble like that, which made the people around him puzzled.

The four-grade assassin official robe, still so young, and being favored by Li Linfu, can this be walked sideways on a certain street in Chang'an, right?

Do you need to be so humble?

The little Fangsao operation is coming.
