After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Yuan Qing wanted to cry.

He didn't call her early or late, but he called her as soon as she arrived at the palace.

Although the palace is not far away, it is still a few hours' journey.

tired.

very tired.

very tired.

She didn't want to move.

But it’s an urgent call from my boss and financial sponsor, so I have to go.

Yuan Qing dragged his tired and hungry body and followed Eunuch Shun into the palace.

As soon as I entered, I found a stranger there.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find out who it was.

When Wen Chengyu saw her coming, he waved to her and said, "Sit down. I have something for you to do."

She knew it.

Good things never come to her so quickly.

"Let me introduce you. This is the great elder of the Gong family, Gong Qinshan."

"Hello, senior." Yuan Qing nodded.

Gong Qinshan returned her greeting but said nothing.

The Gong family has always regarded itself as a famous family in the martial arts world and has never made friends with people in the secular court. Why would they appear in the palace this time?

Wen Chengyu still respects him so much?

"This is the person I mentioned to you, my cousin and concubine who used to work for me under the name of Gong Bin." Wen Chengyu said.

"How's your study going?" Gong Qinshan asked about his studies as soon as he opened his mouth.

Yuan Qing was confused. What did this mean?

Elders habitually inspect and study?

Yuan Qing was just about to say a few humble words according to the original owner's situation, but unexpectedly Wen Chengyu spoke before her.

"My cousin has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, State Policy and Historical Records since she was young, but she is too modest and usually says that she only knows a few words."

Yuan Qing suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Wen Chengyu.

Do not! ! !

She is not!!!

She didn't!!!

Not her!!!

Although she wanted to say that she only knew a few words, that was not modesty, but her real talent and knowledge!

Why do you have to sacrifice me to fly in the sky just to blow up the skin you have just created?

Gong Qinshan stroked his beard with satisfaction, "In that case, then let's go with her."

Then he stood up, walked up to her and said, "The future of my Gong family depends on you, young lady."

After saying that, he left with a swagger.

Yuan Qing: "???"

What are these two doing behind her back, using her for something???

She looked at Wen Chengyu.

Wen Chengyu coughed a few times guiltily, "Qing'er, you said you would help your cousin, right?"

She did say that, but that was within her ability!

He continued, “I have long intended to use the Gong family to cleanse the court, and the Gong family has also expressed to me that they would use this opportunity to enter the world and intervene in the court.

Therefore, please dress up as men and enter the Gong family with the identity of Gong Bin to participate in the imperial examination. It would be even better if you can rank among the top three.

The senior just now is Gong Bin's biological father. With him around, your identity won't be a problem."

Yuan Qing raised his hand, "Wait, wait, let me sort this out first.

What you meant just now was that you wanted me to help you become an official as a disciple of the Gong family?"

Wen Chengyu nodded.

That's what he meant.

Yuan Qing's head immediately buzzed.

Did he think too highly of her?

She is good at the little fights between the girls, and she can also do the finishing work with the support of a big tree.

But isn't it a bit unrealistic to ask her to actually enter the officialdom and deal with a bunch of old foxes?

Let’s not talk about things that happened so far ago for now, and let’s talk about the imperial examination first.

The original owner's extensive knowledge is the girl's own wealth, not hers. She really needs to compete with a bunch of local residents over those trivial matters.

I'm sorry, I've been so idle for so long that it's really hard to pick myself up again.

Asking a poor student to take the imperial examination is nothing but a joke.

Seeing that Yuan Qing was hesitant and unwilling to agree, Wen Chengyu had no choice but to use his trump card.

"I have worked hard every day since I took this chair, but the Yuan Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it once was..."

As he spoke, Wen Chengyu coughed a few more times.

She also took out a light pink handkerchief from her bosom and covered the corners of her mouth. After coughing, she clenched it and put it back in her bosom.

"I don't have any heirs who can inherit the throne yet..."

Yuan Qing noticed the color of the handkerchief with his sharp eyes and asked hurriedly, "Where did you get this handkerchief? It looks like the color that girls often use at home. Have you taken a concubine?"

Wen Chengyu's mouth twitched.

He glanced at her unhappily.

Yuan Qing waved his hands, "Stop pretending, you just want me to go.

But why did you choose me?

First, I am not smart. Second, my knowledge is not as profound as those students who have participated in the imperial examinations for many years. Third, you have so many talented people under your command..."

"Because I only trust you."

Just as Yuan Qing was counting on her fingers and listing the reasons why she was not suitable for this job, Wen Chengyu suddenly gave her this answer.

He used "朕" instead of "我".

He was telling her as an emperor that he only trusted her.

Yuan Qing sighed.

In fact, it is not Wen Chengyu's fault that he is desperate and seeks help from all directions. The truth is that the country has long been turned into a mess by the dog emperor.

How easy is it to restore a clear and just era to the Yuan Dynasty?

This kind of project cannot be reversed without a hundred years.

At the same time, it must be ensured that within a hundred years, the emperors who take office must be wise rulers in order to achieve the ambition of the Yuan Dynasty's prosperity.

But out of pity for Wen Chengyu, she had to bury herself in a sea of books and suffer.

When he left the palace, Yuan Qing was dejected and couldn't cheer up.

Sorry, she softened her heart.

From then on, I had to start a hard learning career.

Yuan Yi came over, saw that his master looked listless, and asked hurriedly if something had happened.

Yuan Qing didn't intend to tell him now.

But suddenly she had an idea.

Wouldn't she feel better if someone shared her pain?

So Yuan Qing carefully approached the young guard, stroked his handsome face with his fingers, and whispered, "Ayi, are you willing to do something for me?"

The young guard was so excited that he said immediately, "I am willing to go through fire and water for you, sir!"

"Then I want you..." Yuan Qing stretched out the last syllable.

Yuan Yi pricked up his slightly red ears and listened carefully to every word she said.

"Study military books."

As soon as these words came out, his happy expression instantly fell.

He could only recognize a few words, and the military book was like a mystery to him, which he could not understand at all.

Yuan Qing imitated Wen Chengyu's behavior and wanted to take out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe her tears, but after searching for a long time, she remembered that she had no habit of carrying a handkerchief.

She pulled her sleeves and stroked her cheeks, sobbing, "Today, His Majesty gave me an order, saying that within one year, you must be trained to be a talented general, or even a commander.

I have no other choice but to force you like this."

Although he knew that it was most likely her who acted in the role, Yuan Yi had no way of refusing.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, exhaled and said, "I'll learn!"

After hearing this, Yuan Qing felt that he was not as sad as before.

She looked around and found no one was there, so she reached out and turned the little guard's cheek and pinched his ears a few times.

Cool and soft.

Yuan Qing raised the corner of his mouth, hummed a little tune and left in a good mood.

Yuan Yi stood there, touched his hot earlobe, and smiled like a fool.
