After the power minister failed to raise cubs

Yun Xie put the completed scroll into Xiao Rang's hand: "Why are you in a daze?"

Xiao Rang asked casually: "The red mark at the end of Xiangfu's eye is a birthmark?"

Yun Xie was startled, and subconsciously touched the end of his left eye: "No, according to my mother, it was a scar left by a fall when I was young."

Yun Xie spread his hands: "I have no impression at all."

"Weicheng Xiangxiang's father was already restless when he was young, running up and down."

"That's not true, I was quiet when I was young—"

Receiving Xiao Rang's curious gaze, Yun Xie realized instantly, what was he talking nonsense with Xiao Rang?

Xiao Rang asked curiously, "Quiet?"

Yun Xie was too lazy to answer, and pushed him irritably: "Don't dawdle here, go to the Jade Gong Palace, I'll wait for you here."

Yun Xie has self-knowledge, knows that he is doomed to lose, and has no expectations for the result, just wants to rush to the next round.

Xiao Rang smiled and looked at him deeply: "Wait."

……

Jade Gong Hall.

The courtiers swarmed forward, looking at His Majesty on the scroll on the left, they were already a bit terrified, turned their heads, and saw the vivid clouds on the scroll on the right, feeling a chill in their hearts, those who were younger or had shame in their hearts, directly He took a step back in fright, his face pale.

Cheng Lu said: "Your Majesty will come later, and you adults can taste it first. There is a lottery tube next to the left and right scrolls. Later, the maid will give each adult a lottery. Whichever one is your favorite, you will sign it." Just put it in the holder on the side."

All the courtiers obediently agreed, dispersed one after another, and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss in low voices.

"In terms of painting skills, the painting of clouds is better than the famous masters in Beijing. The other painting is also a rare masterpiece, but it is not as good as it is, especially because it lacks the uniqueness. charm."

"It is said that drawing form is easy, but drawing spirit is difficult, but the picture of cloud appears vividly on paper."

One person showed distress: "Your Majesty, the emperor's majesty, if we choose the painting of clouds, wouldn't it be... an offense to Tianwei?"

Several people were terrified.

One person was quite arrogant: "You are really stupid, but you can't see the way!"

"Appreciate further details."

"How much is left in the Chaozhongyun Party?" the man asked.

"Not much." Everyone said truthfully.

The man raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Your Majesty chose a picture of the cloud and a picture of himself at this time, isn't the meaning obvious?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and enlightened: "You mean, His Majesty is testing us..."

"Your Majesty, give me a chance to regroup."

"Fortunately, I discussed it with you. If you rashly voted for Yunxiang, wouldn't you be asking for death!"

"So that's the case. I was wondering before. According to the report from my eyeliner, there are obviously no painters entering the palace in the past few days."

The eunuch suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"

All the courtiers were about to kneel, Xiao Rang frowned impatiently: "No."

Xiao Rang sat at the top, and said casually: "After reviewing the Analects of Confucius, Ai Gong Wenshe, I forgot the time. It's too late."

When the courtiers with their heads down heard the words, their eyes widened silently.

They are all familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. In the "Analects of Confucius", Ai Gong asked Zai Wo, but Zai Wo answered... let it go.

Your Majesty didn't need to explain, but suddenly said this sentence...

Everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

Sure enough!His Majesty is testing them, asking them to express their views and turn to the light, so that His Majesty can... forget the past.

Xiao Rang took a sip of his hot tea and waved his hands: "All votes, finish early and go back earlier, it's so cold."

Half an hour later, the lottery container next to the painting of Xiao Rang was filled to overflowing, but there was no sign in the lottery container of Yun Xie's painting.

Xiao Rang had expected this earlier, and snorted secretly, with a bit of disdain for Tiancheng hidden in his phoenix eyes.

It is not the first time that the courtiers in front of him have pretended to be deaf and dumb, and told lies with their eyes open in order to protect themselves.

They use it well, but they don't like it when they look at it.

Xiao Rang put down the teacup, and said casually: "Is there any one you haven't voted for?"

Fu Jue stared at Yun Xie, who had vivid brows and eyes, and a dazzling bearing on the scroll on the right, and couldn't help but clenched his knuckles.

A few people with firm eyes followed behind him sporadically. They pushed aside the crowd and walked forward. Under the mocking and distant eyes of everyone, they put their lottery sticks into the lottery holder on the right.

Xiao Rang lowered his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

Although Xiangfu's subordinates are stupid, they are rarely sincere.

"Father Xiang won." Xiao Rang gently pushed the lottery holder over.

"How is it possible?!" The moment Yun Xie blurted out, he immediately figured out the key point.

What he painted was Xiao Rang, who was the emperor of one dynasty. Those courtiers were afraid of the violent Xiao Rang, and they would definitely vote for him against their conscience.

This is a slap in the face... no!

Yun Xie's sharp eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Rang's face.Xiao Rang's city mansion is so deep, how could he not expect this?

"Father Xiang also figured out the key point, but I was confused. I didn't realize it until they voted. It was too late."

"These bastards." Xiao Rang feigned anger.

Yun Xie's doubts suddenly disappeared, a wise man is bound to make a mistake if he has a lot of worries, besides, how could Xiao Rang deliberately lose to him?

Yun Xie rubbed his fingers, and said seriously: "Although it was unintentional, I took advantage of you in the first round, so in the second round, I choose... as a gift."

Xiao Rang raised his eyes suddenly, although he was as calm as him, his face was full of disbelief at the moment.

It is rumored that when Yun Xie was young, he was stubborn and uneducated, and drove away countless gentlemen. There were many people who called him an "illiterate prime minister" behind his back, and there were also ignorant children who sang satirical songs, such as "Sage books are useless, and the clouds in the sky , illiterate, slaughtered by others, high-spirited..."

He has been with Yun Xie for twelve years, and he has never seen him read a serious book.

He suddenly said that he wanted to compare it to a gift...

Xiao Rang said: "Father Xiang doesn't have to lose to me on purpose, I lost in the first round, no better than Father Xiang—"

Yun Xie interrupted him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who said I would definitely lose?"

Xiao Rang looked at his peach blossom eyes that concealed the past, and smiled quietly. How could he have forgotten that Yun Xie intended to be courteous, and he would not wrong himself too much. insult.

Xiao Rang was thinking, does he really know Yun Xie as well as he thinks?

"Okay," Xiao Rang readily agreed, with the desire to tear Yun Xie apart and take a closer look in his phoenix eyes, he said lightly, "How do you compare?"

Yun Xie was serious: "You wrote a poem saying that I have a suave appearance and a burly figure, just like in the past, but don't write my name."

"Yes," Xiao Rang could not help laughing, "Then the father-in-law praised me?"

"How is it possible!" Yun Xie had an unbelievable expression on his face, and then he said slowly, "I am boasting that I have a suave appearance and a burly and magnificent figure."

Xiao Rang: "..."

Seeing him deflated, Yun Xie felt secretly refreshed, and leaned closer to him: "This is only fair. Only when you praise someone can you see who is better. After all, you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the previous game. If I praise you, no matter how badly you write, then Helping dogs will blindly let me win."

Before Xiao Rang could reply, Yun Xie yawned lazily, tilted his head and looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said, "Since it's been agreed, it's getting late, so I'll rest first."

Yun Xie stood up and left, his back was very graceful and graceful, Xiao Rang looked at the slender Chu waist, his eyes darkened a little, he stopped him, and asked: "Is Xiangfu healed?"

Yun Xie looked back, she was as beautiful as jade.

"What injury? I'm not injured—" Yun Xie said in a daze.

Xiao Rang just smiled.

Yun Xie came to his senses in an instant, his blood couldn't stop surging, and he said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"

"What am I thinking?" Xiao Rang sneered lightly, his brows and eyes slightly curved, "I just simply greeted Xia Xiangfu's body."

Yun Xie was so angry that he turned around and left.

……

Yun Xie wasn't sure that he could win against Xiao Rang, who had the best Ci Fu, but no matter what, he wouldn't lose too badly.

Just because he doesn't like to read sage books doesn't mean he can't.He just... After deciding to throw it away completely, he didn't want to pick it up again.

But now is the very moment.

……

In the evening of the second day, the ministers went to the banquet again with strange expressions. The reason this time was that His Majesty was sleepless at night, recalling the appearance of clouds, and made two fuss for them to taste.

All the courtiers gathered together again, with bitter faces, unable to say a word: "Why did you tell me to draw a clear line with the traitors yesterday, but today...you recall Yunxiang?"

"It's true that the emperor's heart is as deep as the sea, but it's hard for you and me, when will we have a head in this day?"

"What do you know? This is called a slap and then a sweet date. Your Majesty's purpose is to appease us. In this history book, there are many emperors who kill heroes to show respect to their offspring, so as to show their generosity and kindness."

"Your statement is really far-fetched."

……

Yun Xie had already become suspicious, Xiao Rang didn't want to face another loss, so he had to take it easy and play as usual.

Xiao Rang wanted to let him go, but he definitely didn't want to make Yunxie think too much, what he wanted was definitely not gratitude and the ensuing suspicion.

Because of the different handwriting, after the two finished writing, they asked Chenglu to copy it.

The eunuchs of the Great Chu Dynasty also had a special school. Most of the eunuchs were educated. This was due to Yunxie. A few years ago, Yunxie was bored and opened a school in the imperial city. He asked the Imperial Academy to send someone to teach the eunuchs how to read Literacy.Chenglu also goes there in his spare time.

Xiao Rang didn't read it yet, but Cheng Lu became more and more frightened.

These two articles are...indistinguishable.
