I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

His Majesty returned to the capital to solve the big problem in Qingshui County in one fell swoop. He should have held a banquet to celebrate and reward the meritorious officials.

However, Li Jinyu went back to the bedroom directly in the dragon chariot, after which no one was allowed to enter, even Chang Kang was kicked out.

Huo Caiyu was a little worried, and went to visit His Majesty's bedroom, but was stopped by Chang Kang.

Chang Kang said with a bitter face: "Master Huo, His Majesty has specially ordered that no one is allowed to enter, so please don't make things difficult for your servants."

"Me too?"

"Master Huo can't do it either."

Huo Caiyu frowned: "Is Your Majesty safe in the palace?"

"Your Majesty passed on three plates of melon seeds, four plates of walnuts, and five plates of peanuts today..."

Huo Caiyu: "...prepare some tea for His Majesty."

From the point of view of appetite, His Majesty should be fine.

Just why don't you come out to meet people?

He was obviously fine when he was in Qingshui County, but after getting in the car, he deliberately avoided people...

Huo Caiyu's gaze sank, his mind circled for a while, and he turned his head to torture Ye Gui'an.

……

Li Jinyu hid in the bedroom, surrounded by piles of gnawed melon seeds and walnuts.

After the candles were extinguished, the bedroom was dimly lit, which gave Li Jinyu a sense of security.

Li Jinyu touched his familiar yet unfamiliar tail again, with a melancholy expression on his face.

What's going on?

Why did the tail pop out all of a sudden?

And it can't be taken back!

He was fine when he was in Qingshui County, why did he grow a tail when he came back?

——The point is what's the use of having a long tail!

Li Jinyu buried his head in the bed, his tail dangling anxiously behind his buttocks.

If he has the ability, he can directly transform back into a hamster!

Li Jinyu tried several times, but failed to transform back into the hamster prototype, so he could only give up sadly.

After eating all the nuts brought in, Li Jinyu finally cheered up and seriously thought about how to solve the problem of the tail.

His tail is not very long, although it is behind the buttocks, it is not completely hidden.

The dragon robes in the upper court are very wide, and no one should be able to tell if the tail is tucked into the clothes.

The problem is sleeping at night.

Li Jinyu is now used to falling asleep while bathed in Huo Caiyu's purple myrtle imperial spirit. On the way back to the palace, he had to split the car with Huo Caiyu. He tossed and turned and felt that something was wrong, so he specially asked for a few Huo Caiyu's clothes to hang in the carriage to make him more stable.

But it was too embarrassing to ask for Huo Caiyu's clothes, Li Jinyu bit the bullet and asked for it twice, his face was burned into sunset.

——Huo Caiyu probably already identified him as a pervert...

Li Jinyu noticed a phenomenon when he slept with Huo Caiyu a few times before - he didn't sleep well.

She often lays flat to sleep, and wakes up already in Huo Caiyu's arms.

This can't be helped, his own hamster likes to dig into wood chips when he sleeps!

But now that he has a tail, he knows that with his sleeping appearance, Huo Caiyu can arrest him the next day under the name of the monster cholera.

Woo, although his purpose is indeed to feign death as soon as possible, but his spiritual power has not yet been gathered again!

Besides, what if Huo Caiyu invited some eminent monk or Taoist to kill him directly?

After thinking about it, Li Jinyu still insisted on his own idea: the tail must not be discovered by Huo Caiyu!

……

After staying in the bedroom for a day and a night, Li Jinyu finally came out.

Chang Kang, who was guarding the door, hurried forward and was taken aback when he saw His Majesty: "Your Majesty, this is..."

Li Jinyu's dragon robe was crooked, his belt and sleeves were not fastened, as if he got up in a hurry and didn't take care of it.

The emperor's clothes are all taken care of by his personal servants. If any servant takes care of him like this, he will probably be dragged down and killed with a stick.

Facing Chang Kang's surprised eyes, Li Jinyu smiled guiltyly: "I have a whim today, and I want to learn how to dress myself."

After the tail grows out, the servants can no longer take care of him. That's why Li Jinyu wanted to try to put on clothes by himself, but unexpectedly, he got dressed like this.

In fact, the clothes inside are more messy...

It was already morning time, and there was no time to take it off and change it. Chang Kang could only simply tidy up Li Jinyu's outer robe, and then sent Li Jinyu to the court.

It was the first morning court after returning to the palace from Qingshui County. He was supposed to be elated and deal with the pressure from the Prime Minister's faction, but Li Jinyu put all his thoughts on his own buttocks, worrying about being discovered, so that he didn't hear clearly that the officials from the Prime Minister's faction were coming. say what.

Li Jinyu came back to his senses after the servant minister's request was finished: "Huh? I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

Minister of Staff: "..."

The servant of the official department reported it again. This time Li Jinyu listened to it when he was distracted, but was dizzy by the words full of dropped book bags, and couldn't understand at all.

Li Jinyu couldn't remember the servant's last name, so he said: "This servant, put it simply, I sound confused."

A faint laugh or two came from among the officials.

The attendant blushed, gritted his teeth and said: "You Xianshan, Minister and Staff, Please Your Majesty carefully consider the matter of Ye Gui'an, Governor of Qingshui County."

Li Jinyu understood: This was sent by the prime minister to intercede for Ye Guian.

"The evidence for this matter is conclusive, how else do we need to consider it?"

The evidence of Ye Gui'an's embezzlement and perverting the law is so clear that anyone who looked at his wealth would have to cry out in shock.

Following Ye Gui'an's line, countless corrupt officials in Qingshui County and nearby counties were uprooted all the way. Even considering the manpower problem, only some of the worst were arrested, which caused the entire officialdom to panic slightly.

Li Jinyu asked people to count Ye Guian's property and announced it, and almost no one dared to speak up.

Nayou's servant did not give up: "Your Majesty is wise, Mr. Ye is for the country and the people, and he has no two hearts, it is impossible..."

Before Li Jinyu could speak, Huo Caiyu, the last of the officials, came out and asked loudly, "Your Excellency, Ye Gui'an deceived the superior and the inferior, corrupted the treasury, and even intended to rebel. The evidence is here. Why is there any grievance?" ?”

You Shilang moved his mouth: "There are a lot of doubts about this matter, maybe there are other strange things, maybe someone framed it..."

Huo Caiyu looked at him, his expression suddenly calmed down, and he suddenly asked: "Master You is also a job in the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple?"

You Shilang was a little confused: "Never."

"But following His Majesty's order, to participate in the investigation of Ye Gui'an's case?"

"Neither."

"So you want to become a speaker?"

"Not yet."

"That's good." Huo Caiyu's tone changed abruptly, with a tinge of sarcasm, "Fortunately, I, Dichao Sansi, don't have officials like Mr. You who don't verify evidence and only judge cases based on guesswork—otherwise, how many unjust, false and wrong cases will there be? "

This time, there were a few more laughs among the officials, and some even came from the ranks of the Prime Minister's faction.

Only then did You Shilang come to his senses, his face flushed immediately: "You—"

Huo Caiyu ignored him, and looked up at Li Jinyu who was on the dragon seat.

Li Jinyu had seen enough of the drama, clapped his hands, and made a final decision: "In the case of Ye Gui'an, after being interrogated by the Minister of Dali Temple, he will be convicted according to the law. There is no need for others to say anything!"

The courtiers couldn't help casting their gazes at Prime Minister Ye who had never spoken.

Prime Minister Ye has not said a word since he went to court, and his expression is stable and unchanging, which is unpredictable.

At this time, no one in the hall spoke, even Li Jinyu focused on Prime Minister Ye.

Prime Minister Ye finally raised his hand slowly, with the same expression on his face: "I have no objection."

It's just the default.

This punch seemed to hit the cotton, not only did Li Jinyu not heave a sigh of relief, on the contrary he raised his heart even more.

Did Ye Guixiang give up his cousin's life just like that?

Isn't this scientific?

In the original book, the traitor is obviously protecting his weaknesses, why don't he fight for it now?

——Is there any follow-up plan?

This worry made Li Jinyu not have a good lunch and was absent-minded all the time.

It was rare for Huo Caiyu to eat with His Majesty, and his attention was all on Li Jinyu.

After he recognized his feelings in Qingshui County, because the surroundings were not safe and he was busy investigating Ye Gui'an, he could only hold his affection firmly in his heart.

I thought that after solving Ye Gui'an, I would have a lot of time to get along with His Majesty and test His Majesty's attitude towards me, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would "turn his face and deny anyone" on the chariot back to Beijing and refused to ride with him.

Even though he was arranged in the car closest to the dragon carriage, Huo Caiyu still felt a strong sense of loss.

Huo Caiyu is in the beginning stage of wanting to look at the person he likes with all his eyes, but at this time His Majesty is inexplicably cold to him, which really makes him uncomfortable.

Seeing that His Majesty was absent-minded when eating with him, Huo Caiyu, who couldn't wait to wait in the palace after the court ceremony, finally couldn't hold back, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty is thinking about the morning court?"

"Well, yes." Li Jinyu put down the spoon, feeling a little depressed, "I don't know what the prime minister has planned."

Prime Minister Ye is so defensive, he must hate them to death, and he will probably fight them to the end... Li Jinyu himself can forget it, but Huo Caiyu is not in power yet, if he wants to push Huo Caiyu to the throne smoothly, I am afraid that he will have to force the prime minister Just beat it down.

Ah, that sounds like a hassle!

Huo Caiyu didn't know the thoughts circling in Li Jinyu's mind, so he only slowed down his voice and said, "It's a huge step to solve Ye Gui'an and implement a whip method smoothly. Your Majesty, don't worry."

After the leading corrupt officials were dealt with, the other courts only issued orders to truthfully hand over their share of corruption and fill financial holes by themselves, so that they could be temporarily exonerated.

Before leaving Qingshui County, Huo Caiyu and Shen Fuya, the governor of Dai County, checked the accounts together.

The final conclusion is that according to the implementation of the one-whip method, the Qingshui County tax bank directly collected by the treasury is [-]% more than the old policy, and the pressure on the people to pay taxes is much lower.

Ye Gui'an's family property and the public bank made up by the officials who reported it were all confiscated, the share of the tax bank was directly brought back to the treasury, and all the rest was returned to the people and invested in the development of Qingshui County.

"The prime minister sent few people to intercede for Ye Gui'an, and it was Ye Gui'an's own fault."

Ye Gui'an is a real mediocre person, relying on his cousin Ye Chengxiang, he claims to be a relative of the emperor, and he speaks honestly to other officials of the prime minister's faction, so he is not very popular among the prime minister's faction.

Such a fool, but sitting in such a rich place as Qingshui County, the amount of confiscated house made most of the prime minister's faction dumbfounded.

It also caused strong dissatisfaction in their hearts.

——Why do they work hard for the prime minister in the court and work hard to flatter the prime minister, but they are just a little rich, and an idiot like Ye Gui'an does nothing?

These subtle emotions intertwined with the emperor's attitude and Prime Minister Ye's silence, brewing into today's situation.

Ye Gui'an was still dreaming of being caught in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he didn't know that his colleagues had already given up on him.

Li Jinyu couldn't understand these twists and turns, after listening to Huo Caiyu's explanation, he finally gave up: "I don't understand, I'm too stupid, you are too complicated."

Huo Caiyu didn't feel that His Majesty was stupid at all, and pushed a cup of dry chrysanthemum tea to Li Jinyu: "Your Majesty is a man of great wisdom, these people have treacherous hearts and don't think about it for a while."

His Majesty should naturally focus on the vastness of the world, why bother to figure out the minds of those moths and clowns.

Li Jinyu only thought he was talking ironically, took a sip from the teacup, then put it aside, with a bitter face: "When will this day end?"

Huo Caiyu glanced over the cup of dried chrysanthemum tea, which he only took a sip of, and then returned to Li Jinyu, with a quiet but firm voice: "Your Majesty will definitely get what you want."

Even if the other party is the prime minister with power over the court, he is willing to charge forward for his majesty, and together with his majesty, wipe out the upper and lower moths, and return the country to a clear and clear sky.

Li Jinyu glanced at him and finally relaxed a little.

——Hey, he really became the emperor and entered the drama... There is a future real dragon emperor here, so why is he worried about Prime Minister Ye?

With Huo Caiyu's aura as the protagonist, he might as well light a candle for Prime Minister Ye.

Thinking about these meaningless things is better than thinking about how to make Huo Caiyu a high official again...

……

After lunch, Huo Caiyu had to deal with the new tax policy again.

Because the focus of the prime minister's faction was on Ye Gui'an, when Li Jinyu proposed to spread the whip method to the whole country, he did not receive much resistance.

If anyone has any objections, His Majesty will return the head leaf to the accomplice!

If it's just an accomplice of corruption, it's fine, there is always hope if you take care of it; but Ye Gui'an is also charged with "conspiring to rebel and assassinating His Majesty"!

Who dares to perish together!

Li Jinyu was very satisfied with this.

The weather is fine, and I should have gone to the Imperial Garden for a stroll after lunch.

But now that Li Jinyu has something behind his butt, he is a little scared.

He has to tuck his tail between his legs when he walks, which is very inconvenient.

If you want to talk about exercise, naturally you should go for a run on his large hamster roller.

However, when Li Jinyu returned to the palace, he found that his large roller was no longer working.

On that day, he used concubine Wei as a cover to sneak out of the palace. Changkang almost passed out when he found out, and he was always in a state of anxiety, and he couldn't think of maintaining the hamster roller for His Majesty.

No one has touched it for more than a month, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated in the hamster roller, and the rotation is a bit insensitive. It needs people from the Iron and Wood Bureau to take care of it.

In desperation, Li Jinyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for a walk in the Imperial Garden, praying not to run into anyone he knew.

However, Tiandao's father doesn't seem to love him.

Li Jinyu supported his forehead, looked at the woman kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked with some difficulty: "Why are you still?"

Concubine Xian, no, it's Concubine Xiangui now. She raised her head and looked at Li Jinyu pitifully, with a slightly hoarse voice: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and I miss you so much. Please forgive me."

Li Jinyu took a step back, looked at the peach blossom petals all over the floor beside Concubine Xian, endured the smell of pollen to stimulate his nose, and reluctantly said, "Concubine Xian's confinement hasn't passed yet, has it?"

"Your Majesty!" The noble concubine's eyes were full of tears, she knelt and took a step forward, "I have served Your Majesty for two years, Your Majesty is really so cruel?"

Li Jinyu finally couldn't help but sneezed loudly: "Ah!"

The hamster's sense of smell is inherently more sensitive than that of humans. Since his tail came out, his sense of smell seems to be more sensitive. He really can't stand the scent of flowers and powder here.

Concubine Xiangui was expressing her feelings, but was interrupted by Li Jinyu's loud sneeze, and she was stunned.When he came back to his senses and looked at Li Jinyu, who had blushed cheeks and kept rubbing his nose, and tried to continue, the atmosphere was gone.

"I can't stand this smell anymore." Li Jinyu sneezed two more times and waved his hands weakly, "Since you are still under confinement, you should go back and stay honestly. Changkang, go back to the palace."

Concubine Xiangui is still waiting to talk, Li Jinyu has already left without looking back.

Watching His Majesty's figure disappear, the delicate and pitiful expression on Concubine Xiangui's face slowly faded away, leaving only indifference in the end.

A court lady came over with a robe and put it on her, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

The concubine Xiangui tugged at her cuffs, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped the maid in the face: "Baby maid! Why didn't I see you so courteous just now?"

The palace maid had long been used to Xian Guifei's moodiness these days, she didn't dare to refute, she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Concubine Xian Gui slapped her across the face, feeling depressed in her heart, she stood up and slapped the palace lady again, before returning to the palace angrily.

Only then did the palace maid stand up covering her face, tears almost fell from the pain.

——Mistress, like His Majesty back then, never treated them as human beings.

——It's just that now I heard that His Majesty is much more kind, but Your Majesty is becoming more and more irritable...

Concubine Xiangui returned to the palace, looking at the deserted Hexin Palace, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

When she was favored, concubines would come to curry favor with her every day; now that she is down, she immediately becomes empty-handed.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xiangui gritted her teeth again, a layer of anxiety appeared on her beautiful face.

She must find a way to save her father.

Even though her relationship with her father is not very good, after all she is closely related to his father's interests.

How can she rely on the concubine's monthly schedule to pay for her expenses, rewards, and pleasures in the palace?Most of them were sent by my father!

What's more, when it comes to the relationship with Prime Minister Ye, the father is closer!

But now His Majesty turned a blind eye to her, and her uncle kept silent, who else could persuade His Majesty?

Concubine Xiangui thought for a while, and finally her expression became silent, her eyes gradually became deep.

……

At night, when the noble concubine hid her body and came to Jiaolan Palace, Huo Caiyu was seriously preparing tea with a roll of tea scriptures.

The noble concubine looked at Huo Caiyu and frowned slightly: "Master Huo is also good at the tea ceremony?"

Huo Caiyu didn't answer, put down the tea scriptures, his eyes were slightly cold: "Shouldn't your concubine still be restrained?"

The people guarding the Hexin Palace and the Jiaolan Palace let them go all the way... It seems that he and His Majesty have not been in the palace for a month, and some people's hearts are fluctuating again.

His Majesty did not ask him to stay in the bedroom tonight, nor did he come to Jiaolan Palace to spend the night. Huo Caiyu was already in a bad mood, and even more so when he saw the concubine Xiangui.

After hearing this again, Concubine Xiangui gritted her teeth: "Master Huo, I came here this time to make a deal with you."

Huo Caiyu closed the tea book, put aside the two packs of tea prepared, and raised his head: "What deal?"

"Lord Huo helps me save my father, and I help Lord Huo retain His Majesty's favor, how about it?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Huo Caiyu's eyes: "Your Majesty has a good idea."

"Lord Huo, don't think that everything will be fine if His Majesty pampers you for a while." Concubine Xian raised her chin reservedly, "I have been honored and favored in the harem for more than two years, and I understand His Majesty's thoughts much better than Lord Huo. "

Huo Caiyu's face darkened slightly: "Your Majesty, let's go back, men and women are different, so as not to cause gossip."

"There is a difference between men and women? You and I are both in His Majesty's harem. Does Mr. Huo think there is any difference between you and me?" Seeing that Huo Caiyu was not moved, the concubine Xiangui gritted her teeth and continued to increase, "I can also ask my uncle to speak for you. , conferring a title for you is better than being in a miserable situation when His Majesty despises you in the future."

Huo Caiyu lost the patience to continue communicating with her, and turned to look at the palace man at the door: "Send your empress back to the palace."

"Huo Caiyu!" Concubine Xiangui became anxious and shouted, "In His Majesty's heart, you are just a male favourite, useless, and unable to give birth to an imperial heir. If no one supports you, you will soon sink into the bottom of the water." Silently!"

"This has nothing to do with your empress." Huo Caiyu looked stern, "See off the guests."

"Okay, okay!" Concubine Xiangui had never been treated so rudely before, and she said angrily, "I want to see how long you can be good!"

After driving away the noble concubine, Huo Caiyu sat back at the case again, wanting to continue serving tea, but was completely lost in the mood.

He didn't care about what the concubine Xian said was a solid favor.

His desire for His Majesty is not a momentary favor, but a wholehearted, lifetime love for each other.

But Concubine Xian's words just now woke Huo Caiyu up.

If he is not worth using, His Majesty will not take him seriously.

His majesty is talented, visionary, and faced with a dangerous situation surrounded by tigers and wolves, he is under tremendous pressure every day.

Under such circumstances, what qualifications does he have to demand His Majesty's undivided attention?How could His Majesty take a fancy to a nobody?

Now, if he wants to punish a corrupt official, His Majesty has to make painstaking arrangements, and he has to be pointed at and scolded by His Majesty's out-of-favor concubine.

Only by advancing bravely and striving hard, holding power for His Majesty, seeking benefits for the people, shedding blood for the country, and standing at the same height as His Majesty, can you be in His Majesty's eyes!

Huo Caiyu took a slight breath, and his brown eyes gradually became clear, shining bright light.

A cluster of flames called ambition ignited in Huo Caiyu's chest.

Whether it is for the stability of the country or the long-cherished wish of his Majesty, he will do his best to climb to the top!

Perhaps Concubine Xiangui never expected that she came to Huo Caiyu for help with a mentality of charity, and her words that were too much for her mind woke up Huo Caiyu.

……

On the second day, Li Jinyu clearly felt that Huo Caiyu had changed.

His gaze became more steady, and his every move was not as impetuous as it was a few days ago.

The whole person is suddenly like a sword in its sheath, all the sharpness is drawn up, but it is even heavier, which cannot be underestimated.

Li Jinyu also obviously felt that Huo Caiyu was more attentive to political affairs and more concerned about the power struggle of the prime minister's faction.

This surprised him a lot: Huo Caiyu is planning to start climbing?The dissatisfaction with him finally accumulated into ambition and rebelliousness, which made him start to seize power?

Very good!

Aside from being happy, Li Jinyu was also a little puzzled: He didn't seem to be doing anything other than avoiding Huo Caiyu these days... Why did Huo Caiyu suddenly become enlightened?
