I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

Zhang Liang snorted coldly, turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

However, the door of the room creaked slightly, interrupting the silence in the yard.

Mrs. Shui carried two plates of snacks to the side of the table and placed them carefully. Then she walked over again and brought back a cup of warm tea.

Upon seeing this, Xiao He politely thanked Madam Shui, then poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it comfortably.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Liang was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger. He could only push the teapot a little more towards himself and took a few gulps of the tea as if to vent his anger.

"hiss……"

A little hot.

Zhang Liang hurriedly turned his back and exhaled through his mouth.

Xiao He picked up the teacup to cover the corners of his mouth.

He couldn't laugh now. If he made someone angry, it would be more trouble than it would be.

During this period, it seemed that he had given up, but in fact he had not.

He knew everything about these people.

Even those loud-mouthed black-armored guards outside the courtyard wall were arranged by him.

The afternoon sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows in the courtyard.

Steam rose from the teacup on the stone table, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

After a cup of tea, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious, and Xiao He then started to talk about business.

"Your Majesty has ordered a reform, and the court will undergo major changes."

Xiao He let out a long sigh, looked at the branches outside the courtyard wall, and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed body, as if he was just casually talking about today's weather.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to join the Ministry of Revenue and serve as its Assistant Minister."

At this point, he turned his eyes to Zhang Liang, "This kind of change, which is rare in hundreds of years, is the time when the koi carp turns into a dragon..."

They both knew what was left unsaid.

Reform requires new people to enter the market.

If you are interested in entering the officialdom, this is the best time.

Zhang Liang leaned back slightly, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes deep.

He looked up at the leaves gilded by the sunlight and said slowly, "Reform? It may seem like an opportunity, but in reality, it's full of hidden dangers. Is Ying Zheng so confident? Daring to touch the foundations of all forces under heaven? I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to take on the position of Minister..."

Xiao He chuckled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. "That's why I'm here to find help."

"Hmph..." Zhang Liang's gaze fell on Xiao He's face and he said seriously, "Aren't you afraid that if I let you out, you'll kill Ying Zheng on the first day?"

"Hehe...hehe..." A low laugh sounded.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang frowned and stared straight at Xiao He opposite him.

Xiao He concealed his smile and did not respond to Zhang Liang's words.

He naturally knew that Zhang Liang would not do that. From the moment he saw his wife and children, everything had changed, but Zhang Liang himself just didn't admit it.

"This reform involves taxes and levies, which affect people's livelihoods, as well as the conflicts of interest among various parties. If we are not careful, we will be doomed. I really need help..."

Xiao He did not reply to Zhang Liang, but just talked about his own predicament.

Zhang Liang ignored him and continued to pour himself tea.

The tea was fragrant and better than any he had tasted before.

Speaking of tea, he hasn't had a good sip for a long time.

In the courtyard, the breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. The two of them drank tea quietly, and no one spoke.

In the room not far away, Buyi was eating the snacks in front of him obediently. He took a bite himself and did not forget to raise his little hand to let his mother have some too.

"Mother, it's delicious, you should eat it too..."

Madam Shui smiled, pretended to take a bite, and touched her son's little head with her big hand, "It's delicious, Buyi, eat it quickly, I've been tired of it for a long time..."

Buyi laughed happily upon hearing this, not wanting to waste even a single crumb. "Is this the candy the neighbor was talking about? It's so delicious..."

Children are simple and what they say is innocent and cute.

However, Mrs. Shui's eyes turned red when she heard it.

Her family member Bu Yi was very pitiful. When she had just learned to walk and could not speak clearly, she was locked in this cage. She was fed with bean cakes and rice porridge every day and had no other food.

Unfortunately, her body was not strong enough and she ran out of milk early, so the child had to grow up drinking rice porridge.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shui couldn't help it any longer, turned her back and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Outside the door, a gust of wind blew, blowing down leaves.

Xiao He put down his teacup and stood up without further delay. He bowed to Zhang Liang and said, "I'm busy with work. I'll leave first."

Zhang Liang sat steadily and nodded slightly: "Goodbye."

After saying this, he looked along Xiao He's back to the horizon.

I'm already tired of looking at this square piece of sky. There's no beautiful scenery to speak of.

"Alas..." He sighed, not knowing in his heart how much longer he could hold on.

"Father..." Buyi's voice rang out, interrupting Zhang Liang's thoughts. Madam Shui followed closely and came to Zhang Liang's side.

"Father, here's what you're eating. I've never eaten anything so delicious before."

Buyi's little hand was raised high, holding half a peach-pink dessert. When you got close, you could smell the sweet aroma of the dessert.

"Eat it if you want. Father doesn't like sweet food."

Bu Yi widened his eyes in confusion, "How could Father not like it? Bu Yi likes it, I like it the most~~~"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang felt a pain in his heart and glanced away sadly.

It was he who was useless and made his son suffer with him.

Thinking back to when he was little, he had a life of luxury every day, and he never lacked snacks and fruits.

Hateful King Qin, hateful... he himself... can't let go of this national hatred and family feud.

But, how could he forget, how dare he forget!!!

The cold wind blew away the last few dead leaves on the tree.

Until many years later, the reform has not been completed.

The days passed quietly in busyness and tension, and the resistance to the reform was growing as everyone expected.

The old forces united and launched round after round of attacks in the court. Impeachment memorials flew onto the imperial desk like snowflakes, but were all suppressed by Ying Zheng.

The three dukes and nine ministers have already made the decision, and with Ying Zheng sitting high on the dragon throne, no matter how much the people below make a fuss, the reform is set in stone, it is just a matter of time.

In such a precarious situation, it wasn't that no one came looking for Su Jinyue.

The power of the Emperor is known to everyone in the world.

If there is anyone who can really change Ying Zheng's mind, that person must be Su Jinyue.

Then, Su Jinyue ignored all of this and accepted all the gifts from those who came to her for help, but she would not do anything for them.

She would not even see people, and would send them away by Lu Zhi and others.

After passing the imperial examination, Lu Zhi and Han Yanran still did not leave the Imperial Master's Mansion.

In their own words, they took the imperial examinations because their masters wanted more girls to pass and to encourage girls all over the world. After they finished the examinations, they would definitely return to serve their masters, and they would not trade them for any high-ranking official position.

Seeing that the two were determined, Su Jinyue stopped trying to persuade them and only privately begged Haodaidi to upgrade their ranks.
