Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 417: Grafting (for Chen Jinyan's Xuyan Alliance Leader)

Yuchan and Yang Yuan were affectionate, and Yuchan put her arms around his neck contentedly, saying intimately: "I've only been to Shanyin for three days, and I'm already distracted. In Lin'an, even though I can't see you every day, I'm not worried when I think that if I miss you, I can see you. That feeling is very different."

Couples in love always behave like this, but Yang Yuan naturally would not spoil the mood by discussing this issue with her.

Yang Yuan said: "That's why the ancients said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. This is probably true."

This is "Nianhua Cottage".

Leng Yuchan now also has a house in "Nianhua Cottage", which makes it convenient for them to meet each other at any time.

Although the name of "Niaohua Cottage" is "Cottage", it is actually not small at all.

It’s a large house with two entrances and two exits, and it’s not just an ordinary courtyard with two entrances and two exits.

The larger courtyards with two entrances and two exits have approximately twenty-five to forty rooms.

The second courtyard of "Niaohua Xiaozhu" is actually a large garden. In the four corners of the garden, there is a small courtyard named "Plum, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum and Orchid", which means there are many rooms.

There are still many rooms that are empty and no one lives in them, so it would be easy to arrange one for Yuchan.

Yang Yuan brushed away the messy hair on her forehead. There was some sweat on her fair forehead, which stuck to a few strands of her black hair.

Yang Yuan said: "I will teach you a kung fu in two days."

"Tsk, you haven't taught me enough. You ask me to do this and that, things I have never thought about, and you still want to make things difficult for me."

"I'm talking about real kung fu. It can not only bring you happiness, but also prolong your life. Most importantly, it can keep you young and beautiful."

"Tsk, just make it up, just to fool people..."

"I'm not kidding, this is a real internal martial art that can strengthen your body."

Leng Yuchan gradually realized from Yang Yuan's serious look that he was telling the truth.

Although Leng Yuchan was still somewhat skeptical about the effect of "maintaining youth and eternal youth", but...

What if it is true? For the sake of maintaining youthful looks, which woman can resist such temptation?

Leng Yuchan couldn't help but get excited, and immediately twisted her legs together, saying, "Then teach me."

Yang Yuan said, "Don't worry, I told you this is a method. You are a person who only knows external skills, and you don't understand some internal skills terms and meridian acupoints. If I explain it to you now, wouldn't it be a bit of a spoiler?"

Leng Yuchan pecked Yang Yuan on the lips and said happily: "Well, I'll listen to you. Then you can teach me some other day."

"Of course, as my woman, I also hope that you will stay young forever."

Leng Yuchan said: "Speaking of your woman, when can I resign my official position and come back to you? Even if it's not easy to marry now, your family business is so big, you can just arrange some work for me.

Yuye knows about your relationship with me, and now it's hard to hide it from Zheng Ducheng, so I'm in an awkward position in the machine room."

After hearing this, Yang Yuan became thoughtful.

It is estimated that his appointment will be announced in more than a month.

All the successful candidates were very concerned about their future, but no one dared to go to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire or make any arrangements, for fear of making things worse.

These are the first batch of Jinshi selected by the court after the new emperor ascended the throne.

A very sensitive moment, a very sensitive identity.

They are not officials who are already in office and are adjusting their positions. In that case, there is actually some room for maneuver regarding test scores.

They were newly minted scholars, a blank slate, and they were arranged in order of ranking first, second, and third place.

This kind of rigid condition doesn't work well.

There are countless eyes watching, and the scholars know each other well and can supervise each other.

Since there is no room for movement, why bother?
Therefore, Yang Yuan did not use his connections to inquire about arrangements for himself.

But he knew that he would definitely become an official in Beijing.

All his industries were in Lin'an. If he were a local official, it would be unrealistic to move so many people and industries away.

From this perspective alone, winning the top spot in the imperial examination means a lot to him.

As for what specific position this Beijing official will be assigned, it is really hard for him to guess now.

The treatment of the top scholar in the Tang Dynasty was far less than that in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Wei, known as the "Poet-Buddha", received the best allocation.

After he became the top scholar in the imperial examination, he was only appointed as the "Taiyue Cheng", an eighth-rank official.

Not only was his rank low, but he was just an official in charge of rituals and music.

As for other top scorers, many of them started from the ninth rank.

By the Song Dynasty, the influence of aristocratic families was no longer as great, and officials selected through the imperial examination were taken seriously.

The content of the imperial examinations and the official career records of the Song Dynasty both emphasized practice.

Therefore, most of the successful candidates would be sent to other places. Those with poor performance would be made county magistrates, while those with good performance would be directly appointed as deputy officials or second-in-command of the provincial government.

As for the top three candidates in the first class, they will stay in Beijing to serve as officials.

Most of the officials who stayed in Beijing had three destinations:

One is to choose a government office and become the second or third in command, just like the Jinshi who went to work in the local areas. However, this is a government office in Beijing.

The second way is to go to the education system, such as serving as a supervisor in the Imperial College or being a doctor in the Imperial Academy.

The third option is to work in an unoccupied position like the Secretariat and study for a few years.

The reason why the Goose King wanted Yang Yuan to go to the Secretariat was because among these three ways out, the one that was easiest to achieve political achievements and less likely to make mistakes was to become a proofreader.

Your name is on all the books compiled and published by the court, and this is your political achievement.

Besides, it’s just proofreading a book, what mistakes could there be?
At the same time, there is less competition.

So this is the safest place to go.

However, he knew his own business best and he knew clearly how credible Yang Yuan's title of No. 1 in the imperial examination was.

Taking the second path to teach, or the third path to proofread, would be a nightmare for him.

Unless all his students were like Mr. Wang, he could still "win people over with virtue." Only by working in a practical government office, rather than working on paperwork, could he be sure of doing a good job.

Considering the performance he had during the palace examination, Yang Yuan felt that he would most likely be assigned the first path.

The emperor had just ascended the throne and it was time for him to work hard to build his team.

At this time, the emperor needs to arrange people to enter practical offices for training and to take on important tasks as soon as possible, rather than throwing them into a pile of old papers to polish them for a few years.

In this case, if he became a government official in the court, but his woman worked in a spy agency directly under the emperor, it would obviously be a big taboo for the emperor, court officials, and colleagues.

It is normal for fathers and sons, and brothers to serve in the same dynasty.
But if it comes to men and women, no one can accept it.

In this day and age, there is nothing we can do about people's prejudices.

So, Yang Yuan thought about it and finally decided to give up the speed room.

Although according to his original plan, he wanted to control the power of the Speed ​​Room for his own use.

But the reason why he made this decision at that time was that he had never thought that he could take the right path, pass the imperial examination, and stand on the broad road of becoming a prime minister at the end of the road.

Now, if his woman continues to work in the spy agency, even without any position, but still has an inner court status, it will have a huge impact on his career.

It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan said, "Okay, then submit your resignation as soon as possible. It's best to do it before I appoint you."

Leng Yuchan was very happy to hear that. She already had someone to rely on for the rest of her life, so naturally she didn't want to stay in the machine room any longer.

Yang Yuan gently stroked her satin-smooth skin and asked, "Are you going to Shanyin this time to capture Shanyin Military Commander Chu Yuan?"

Leng Yuchan said: "Yes, the Imperial City Department interrogated those Japanese ninjas, and gradually arrested some officials who had unusual movements during the Lantern Festival for investigation.

Somehow, they found out that there was something fishy about this Chu Dujian. The emperor ordered the Jisufang to send someone to Shanyin to bring Chu Yuan back to the capital and hand him over to the Imperial City Department for interrogation.

Leng Yuchan didn't know, but Yang Yuan knew it clearly.

When he discovered that Chu Yuan was involved in the conspiracy to kill the king, he tried every means to remove Chu Yuan from the "Ma Huang Crossbow Case".

Because of this, he greatly displeased Emperor Zhao Gou, who thought that he was not doing his job well and had a bad opinion of him from then on.

Yang Yuan did this in order to keep Chu Yuan as a bomb and let the court discover it at a critical moment.

Now, the imperial court has finally found out the cause of the problem - Chu Yuan.

As long as Chu Yuan opens his mouth, Qin Hui's conspiracy will be revealed to the world.

In fact, even if Chu Yuan had not confessed, the court would have investigated the various dispatches and preparations on the important waterways from Lin'an to Jiankang on the night of the Lantern Festival. After tracing back layer by layer, it is likely that they had already traced back to Qin Hui.

Emperor Zhao Yuan kept this secret for two reasons.

One reason is that he has not yet figured out why Qin Hui, who designed this conspiracy, would die himself.

If we do not make this clear and make public Qin Hui's conspiracy, it will be illogical and difficult to convince the public. It will also leave loopholes for the censors to attack us.

Another reason is that the government may be intentionally suppressing this case, waiting for those who are trying their best to protect Qin Hui to step forward.

The current censorship system is controlled by the prime minister.

The government may have wanted to use this case to take the important weapon of the censors back into its own hands.

Once the eyes and ears of the officials and the voice of the imperial court are in one's own hands, the emperor will not be restricted in many ways if he wants to do more, and his policies will not die in the midst of buck-passing and wrangling.

The government is planning a big game, and as the driving force behind it, he should hide his achievements and fame when everything comes to fruition and never expose himself.

Once Zhao Yuan knew that he, a small official in the secret room, had set up such a scheme long ago, using emperors and generals as pawns to influence the situation of the world, his fate would be worrying.

But..., we have to let Himeka, Kanon, Kona and the others do something.

They are needed to help the emperor solve the mystery of "the conspirator died because of the conspiracy".

In this way, the government can launch a thunderous attack and take back control of the censor system first...

As Yang Yuan thought about it, he squeezed the plump things in his palms a little harder.

Leng Yuchan cried out "Aiya" and whispered in Yang Yuan's ear, "My dear, are you not satisfied yet? I will go clean myself up and serve you again."

Yang Yuan asked worriedly, "Are you still okay?"

Leng Yuchan wrinkled her nose and said proudly: "Am I weak?"

Indeed, Yuchan is gifted. Which one do you think is better, naturally aspirated or turbocharged?
Yuchan has them all.

Under the dimple, that big mouth is a naturally aspirated engine that has its own advantages over a turbocharged engine.

Yang Yuan chuckled, patted her on the buttocks, and said, "Then why don't you go quickly."

Yuchan supported herself on the bed and sat up softly. She took out the wet wipes that had been prepared long ago from the table beside her and cleaned Yang Yuan with them. Then she blew out the candle on the table and got downstairs in the dark.

Even in front of her man, and they had already had intimate contact with each other, she was not used to walking around in front of him with the lights on.

Hearing the sound of the door to the bathroom opening, Yang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, rested his arms on his head, and began to think about how to get the three Japanese women to come forward cleverly to help the court solve the mystery and get away with it in the end.

Also, what reasons should they use to help the court solve this mystery so that the court can successfully close the case.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Yuan gradually came up with an idea and felt a little tired.

He couldn't help but yawn, turned over, and decided to take a short nap to rest up.

It is troublesome for women to take a bath. If it were him, he would have taken a bath three times.

Just then, the bathroom door opened slightly and footsteps were heard approaching.

Then, a body as cool as jade came up and leaned gently against his back.

The body trembled slightly, then pressed tightly against me.

As soon as Yang Yuan touched that body, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Compared to Leng Yuchan's slender and tall figure, this person seems to be a little plumper.

she……

Not Yuchan.
