Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene
Chapter 65: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (25)
The emperor had intended to use the hunting trip to show his age and strength, but he was frightened and developed a fever during the night. Fortunately, he was not injured and recovered the next day.
Those marquises kept talking like machine guns, asking what to do with the people in the Taichang Temple and the Honglu Temple.
As the two sides started arguing, someone took the opportunity to shout, "There were no accidents in previous years, but this year, as soon as the cabinet got involved, such a big thing happened. It shows that the cabinet is not honest..."
The cabinet members naturally started to fight back with their hands on their waists.
It doesn't feel like a court, but more like a market.
In the end, the farce ended with the officials involved being fined two years' salary; the main leaders such as the Minister of Taichang Temple, the Minister of Honglu Temple, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and the Minister of Rites were suspended for one year.
In the imperial study, the emperor approved only two memorials before leaning back in his chair, looking a little tired.
"I am just old, not confused. I can't even see the situation clearly."
"I thought King Ping was a tolerant man, but that's all he is."
"That little official is a loyal minister. How did you find out the details?"
Eunuch Cai handed over a letter and began, "Your Majesty. This boy's name is Xiao Jiangran. His parents died young, and he was later adopted by a monk from Huguo Temple. He has been an auditor under Mr. Zhao."
"He did have talent. At just twenty, he passed the imperial examination, ranked top ten, and was assigned to the Inspectorate. Unfortunately... his background was too clean, so he was sent out shortly thereafter."
The letter contained all his achievements during his years of being assigned abroad, as well as the people he had offended.
"With his style, I'm afraid everyone in the court has been investigated by him. Hahahaha, no wonder old man Xie Lan stuffed him into the cabinet."
The emperor stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
Eunuch Cai had served him for decades, so he understood the meaning of his words: "I think Mr. Xie also appreciates talents. I beg Your Majesty to have some mercy on him."
"Go and order some medicinal herbs and gold and silver to send over, and then pass on my order to appoint Xiao Jiangran as the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. Once he recovers from his injury, he will take up his post."
Eunuch Cai knelt on the ground and said, "As you wish."
……
After the imperial edict arrived at Xiao Jiangran's door, the number of people coming to visit him increased several times in an instant.
Xiao Jiangran avoided seeing them, claiming he was seriously injured and recuperating.
But a lot of spies were still stuffed into the yard. Unfortunately, with Shen Jin around, the spies were of no use.
"You've rejected all the advances. Aren't you afraid of being isolated?"
Although asked this, Shen Jin was not worried at all and did not slow down the feeding speed at all.
Xiao Jiangran was a little distressed. He was restrained and unable to get out of bed, and had to accept Shen Jin's feeding. There was obviously a circle of fat on his face.
The wound looked serious at first, but it had basically recovered by the seventh day. He didn't believe that Shen Jin had done anything wrong.
"The armor you gave me that day has not been found yet. I wonder if it has any impact on you."
Shen Jin shook his head: "No, it's just an ordinary piece of white cloth."
"You really don't want to eat?"
"Don't eat."
If you eat more, you will get fat. Xiao Jiangran pays special attention to image management. After all, the body is also one of the assets to pursue men.
"Tomorrow, I want to take up my post in the cabinet."
Shen Jin glanced at him and said, "How can I control you and not let you go?"
Xiao Jiangran smiled and said, "Yes."
Shen Jin paused and looked into his deep eyes, feeling a little dazed.
Just when Xiao Jiangran thought he had the chance to say something, Shen Jin spoke up, "You've really gained a lot of weight."
……
Xiao Jiangran gritted his teeth and immediately stopped thinking.
Shen Jin: "Then you should rest early tonight. I'm leaving first."
He runs pretty fast.
The next day, when Shen Jin was carrying breakfast to arrange things, he casually handed over a piece of cloth.
"Give it to me?"
"Well, tie it on your head and wear it every day to keep safe."
In fact, it was accompanied by a small illusion, and everyone saw Xiao Jiangran looking haggard, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness.
Xiao Jiangran took the headband and examined it. It was dark blue, with silver-black auspicious cloud patterns on it, and the workmanship was quite exquisite.
"Thank you."
Xiao Jiangran looked at her and said, "Can you help me tie it? I can't lift my hands."
What's so difficult about this.
Shen Jin quickly stuffed the buns into her mouth, pulled Xiao Jiangran into the bedroom, and pressed him in front of the mirror.
Xiao Jiangran looked at the two people in the bronze mirror, feeling a bit dazed. While Shen Jin was combing her hair, he greedily pictured her appearance.
Shen Jin refused Xiao Jiangran's request to wash himself in the water and took full responsibility for his cleaning work, including but not limited to casting a cleaning spell every night.
So, even when he was bedridden, his hair was still well maintained.
The soft hair slipped through her fingers, and was quickly picked up by Shen Jin, who then held it in his other hand.
It took her no time to tie her hair into a bun and secure it with a hairband.
Shen Jin asked, "Wear it up or put it down?"
She looked pretty good.
Xiao Jiangran smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
"Then just coil it up, spirit."
It turns out she likes this hairstyle.
In just a few breaths, Xiao Jiangran had already thought of no less than ten ways to tie his hair in his mind.
……
After Xiao Jiangran resumed work, the way they got along returned to how it was before.
Breakfast partner.
No matter when he woke up, he could see Shen Jin coming in from the door carrying breakfast.
No, there's one more step than before. Shen Jin will stay at the Xiao residence for an extra five minutes to help Xiao Jiangran with her hair.
Yes, since Xiao Jiangran had officially taken up the position of Grand Secretary of the Dongge, the plaque had already been hung at the door. However, for some reason, he had not changed his residence.
A huge plaque hung above, taking up the entire lintel, making the place look particularly crowded.
Shen Jin was thinking about getting him a smaller one.
Unfortunately, this plaque was given by the emperor and cannot be removed.
……
"Miss Xie, the master has ordered that you cannot go in." Wen Fu stopped her. Xiao Jiangran had repeatedly warned her not to let Xie Yunshu in.
"A few days ago, you said Brother Xiao needed to rest and you rejected my suggestion to take care of him."
"Now, I saw him go out with my own eyes, which shows that he has recovered."
"Grandpa asked me to take a message back, but I never thought that I couldn't even enter his Xiao Mansion!"
As Xie Yunshu spoke, tears began to flow from her eyes.
A crowd began to gather. After all, a young girl crying at the door was really a cause for gossip.
Wen Fu was almost worried to death, and there was no one in the mansion right now.
"Miss, the master is really not at home. Why don't you come back another day?"
"No, you must be Tang Tuo's words. What is my relationship with him? Can't I wait for him to return to his house?"
"hiss……"
"Oh~"
There were sounds of people eating melons all around.
Shen Jin was speechless in the crowd. If Xiao Jiangran didn't come back, his innocent reputation would be ruined. How could he pursue someone?
What to do if a girl dislikes you?
And said he could do it.
"Humph."
She stepped forward and scolded, "Wenfu, why are you blocking Miss Xie? Her grandfather is Master Xiao's mentor. Are you worried that she will harm Master Xiao?"
"Ah, we're so different in generation..."
"Let's go, let's go. I thought I'd hear some romantic stories..."
A faint voice rang out: "It's okay if they're of different generations."
"Have you ever thought about your father and brothers?"
"No no no..."
As expected of the people of Kyoto.
