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

That night, Li Jinyu arranged for Huo Caiyu to sleep in the outer hall.

The second day is Muxiu, and according to the usual practice, I should go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.

When I went to visit the Empress Dowager a few times before, the Empress Dowager always closed the door on the grounds of studying Buddhism and praying for His Majesty; occasionally when I met her a few times, her attitude was a little alienated and indifferent, not like her own.

Li Jinyu was a little confused at first, but he gradually got used to it and didn't think there was any problem.

Maybe the queen mother has been indulging in Buddhism for too long, and she is so disappointed in him that she doesn't want to talk to him.

Anyway, Li Jinyu himself didn't quite believe the reason of "pray for His Majesty".

He is quite satisfied with this relationship - so far, Huo Caiyu is the only person who can accept him close.

What's more, he didn't inherit the memory of the original body, so he didn't know the details of how the queen mother got along with the original body.

This distanced relationship was perfect for him.

Today the Empress Dowager did not meditate behind closed doors and received Li Jinyu normally.

Li Jinyu greeted him as usual, and sat on a jujube chair covered with Qingfeng embroidery, bowing his head and sipping tea.

Just one mouthful made him curl his lips secretly and put it down.

——This tea is bitter and the fragrance is too strong.

It's far worse than what Huo Caiyu gave him...

Li Jinyu was lowering his head and thinking about whether to ask Huo Caiyu for some tea to honor the Queen Mother, when he suddenly heard the Queen Mother ask: "I heard that you are planning to take power from the prime minister recently?"

Li Jinyu was startled, raised his head and looked around subconsciously, and found that the palace servants who had been serving just now had quietly retreated, leaving only an aunt whom he had met to serve beside the queen mother.

Seeming to see his vigilance, the queen mother smiled slightly on her wrinkled face: "Don't worry, Aijia is full of trustworthy people."

Li Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, unable to figure out the Queen Mother's position, said cautiously: "I just want to deal with the government affairs more."

The Empress Dowager seemed a little dissatisfied with Li Jinyu's answer, but she still nodded: "It's good if you can figure it out, it's not too late to fight back."

Figured it out?

Li Jinyu felt that this word was a little subtle, and asked tentatively: "Does the queen mother support me?"

"You are the emperor now, so why don't the Ai family support you?" The queen mother twirled the sandalwood rosary in her hand, and sighed slightly, "You want to leave a name in history, and the Ai family can understand; it's just that through the ages, you can leave a strong ink in the history books How many people are there for a sum of money? How many emperors are just nameless."

Li Jinyu became more and more dizzy when he heard this, and echoed, "I think so too."

Like a refined hamster like him, the ancient emperors I have heard in modern society are no more than Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu.

"It's good if you can figure this out." The queen mother seemed a little tired, she put down her rosary, and slightly supported her forehead, "I'm tired of mourning, you can go back, Meng and Han will support you, you just do it. "

Li Jinyu came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace in a daze, confused.

What does the Queen Mother mean by these words?

Was there something that Yuanshen couldn't think about before, that's why he kept giving up on himself?

On the way back to the palace, Li Jinyu had been pondering over the content of the conversation during this interview with the Queen Mother.

It sounds like the original body is a little obsessed with leaving his name in history.But what does this have to do with giving up on yourself?

You don't always feel that you can't do the great deeds of those talented and generous emperors, and you can't be famous for a long time, so you should just follow the example of King Zhou, who will leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?

How could anyone ruin their ancestral foundation so much?

Li Jinyu returned to the bedroom full of doubts, thought for a while, and called Huo Caiyu over.

He told Huo Caiyu the process of communicating with the Queen Mother in a nutshell, hoping that Huo Caiyu's wisdom could help him analyze and analyze.

Huo Caiyu didn't expect His Majesty to even tell him about the communication with the Queen Mother, mother and son, very surprised.

Huo Caiyu thought for a moment, expressing joy, "The empress dowager's meaning should be agreed by General Meng."

"General Meng?"

"The Han family is the queen mother's family, and it is also related to the Meng family represented by General Meng." Huo Caiyu briefly introduced the four or five marriages between the two families, which made Li Jinyu dizzy.

The Meng family is the natal family of the Empress Dowager, and the Han family is the natal family of the Empress Dowager.

The patriarchs of the previous generations of the two families were related by marriage, and there were countless side branches.

The royal in-law relationship is really complicated...

"Now the Han family is the representative of the relatives of the Di Dynasty. Although the influence in the court is not as good as that of the Meng family, it is not low in the royal family." Huo Caiyu saw His Majesty's dizzy look and only thought it was cute, and his voice couldn't help letting go Much softer, "I was wondering if I could fight for the position of the Han family, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would bring good news today."

Li Jinyu: "...the Queen Mother proposed it on her own initiative."

It's not what he said.

In any case, with the support of the Empress Dowager's relatives and General Meng, they can start to reform the imperial examination.

When the New Deal was launched, it was met with strong resistance from the prime minister's faction.

In the early court, Prime Minister Ye still stood at the head of the civil servants without saying a word, and the dog legs behind him burst into tears, denouncing the new policy, as if Da Di would die soon if this policy was followed.

Huo Caiyu, who routinely stood up to the initiator of the New Deal, was almost overwhelmed by the saliva sent by the prime minister.

Li Jinyu habitually puts the naming right of the New Deal on Huo Caiyu. He wanted to continue to improve Huo Caiyu's political achievements. He also knew that the reaction of the prime minister's faction was normal, but seeing the saliva of the officials who Huo Caiyu was alone to accept the corpse meal, he still couldn't help but feel distressed. anger.

Huo Caiyu's reform of the imperial examination is similar to that in the original book, all in order to give poor students a fair promotion path, so that the court can be constantly replaced like running water, so that generations can go on steadily.

But this group of dog officials who don't do their business and only know how to flirt and corrupt the law, pretend to be concerned about the country and the people and talk nonsense!

The more Li Jinyu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but patted the armrest of the dragon chair: "Enough!"

Why do these people accuse Huo Caiyu!

The noisy ministers below fell silent.

Huo Caiyu stood unmoved among the officials, only raised his head when Li Jinyu spoke, his eyes shone slightly on the emperor on the high platform.

"What Huo Caiyu means is what I mean." Li Jinyu said without thinking, "General, what do you think?"

General Meng glanced at Huo Caiyu secretly, and said without hesitation: "I think you can give it a try."

The officials sent by the prime minister were startled: Did the general make it clear where he was standing?

Li Jinyu deliberately ignored the people sent by the prime minister, and turned his head to look at Jiang Guogong who was standing at the court meeting as a representative of the relatives: "This matter involves the affairs of the major families, what does Jiang Guogong think?"

Jiang Guogong is the biological father of the current empress dowager, the leader of his relatives and princes, and has always been wise and wise in the court without saying a word.

Now being called by His Majesty, the old Duke replied slowly: "The old minister also agrees with the general."

Jiang Guogong's words can almost represent the opinions of the top princes and noble families, and the officials sent by the prime minister suddenly felt that a basin of cold water fell from the sky.

what happened?

The general and Duke Jiang stood up at the same time to support Huo Caiyu, a humble pawn?

Shouldn't these families unite with them?

The people sent by the prime minister glared or panicked, and finally turned all eyes on the prime minister.

Li Jinyu then turned his attention to Prime Minister Ye: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Ye raised his head, took a deep look at Li Jinyu, and turned his head to give Huo Caiyu a cold look.

Huo Caiyu turned back without fear.

He didn't know where the prime minister's hostility towards him came from, but just talking about what the prime minister did to His Majesty, he couldn't let Ye Guixiang go!

All eyes were on Prime Minister Ye, and Prime Minister Ye finally spoke:

"I think...Jiang Guogong's intentions are good."

The prime minister backed down?

On such a crucial matter?

No matter which faction they belonged to, the ministers were all stunned, their eyes were full of disbelief.

Everyone knows how Prime Minister Ye made his fortune.Could it be that Ye Guixiang is really willing to hand over the big cake of the Ministry of Officials to others?

Some calm and sober prime minister sent people not surprised by the prime minister's decision.

The general faction and the neutral faction suddenly supported at the same time. It must be something behind the scenes that His Majesty persuaded them.

It is difficult to fight against the general trend now, so it is better to take a step back and seek a backup.

Li Jinyu didn't care what was going on with the Prime Minister, seeing that Prime Minister Ye made a concession, he made immediate and decisive arrangements, directly lifted Huo Caiyu to the Ministry of Officials, and let him handle the reform arrangements for this year's spring.

As usual, the Chief Examiner of the scientific examination is simply a job that everyone covets, and everyone wants to take a bite; but this year, His Majesty suddenly demanded reform, and even confronted the Prime Minister, and the courtiers with a bit of winking chose to wait and see.

However, a few great Confucian scholars stood up and doubted whether Huo Caiyu's knowledge could bear the responsibility of the chief examiner.

Huo Caiyu didn't embarrass Li Jinyu on this point, and debated with those great scholars on the spot citing scriptures, which quickly convinced all the officials.

A few ministers who had been contemptuously looking at Huo Caiyu for gaining power by selling their butts also changed their views on Huo Caiyu.

——The target launched by His Majesty is not so useless?

Naturally, Li Jinyu was not worried about Huo Caiyu's literary talent and knowledge. He sat on the dragon seat and watched Huo Caiyu's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars, feeling very comfortable.

Huo Caiyu persuaded those opponents, and when he finally cast his gaze up, Li Jinyu generously gave him an appreciative smile.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that after he smiled, Huo Caiyu's whole body brightened a lot.

……

After the early court, Jiang Guogong was not young, walked slowly, and fell behind all the officials.

Walking out of the palace gate, a person turned out from the shadow of the vermilion lacquer-patterned dragon pillar beside him, with the usual expression, it was Prime Minister Ye.

"Hello Jiangguo Public Security." Prime Minister Ye was the first to say hello politely.

Jiang Guogong looked at Prime Minister Ye, his white eyebrows moved slightly, and he sighed: "I am old, and I am not as young and promising as the prime minister."

Prime Minister Ye is less than 40 years old this year, but he looks young. He looks in his early thirties, and he is indeed young and promising in front of the old Duke.

"Guogong is old and strong, how can I and other younger generations be comparable?" Ye Chengxiang walked beside Jiang Guogong, and said indifferently, "A senior who has experienced many storms like Guogong will not fail to see His Majesty' The ruthlessness of the concubine and the concubine."

His Majesty's New Deal seems to have perfectly resolved the dispute between the concubine and the concubine, protected the interests of the concubine, and allowed the concubine to have a way out, but in fact it is not the case at all.

The son of the concubine has steadily won the title, and without the pressure of competition from the son of the concubine, he just sticks to his old job to live; although the son of the concubine does not get a share of the family property, he can take the road of imperial examinations and make his way to the top.

The dispute between the son and the concubine will be transferred from within the family to outside the family!

If it goes on like this for a long time, if the son-in-law does not give up and the son-in-law strives, the direct line of the aristocratic family will be gradually weakened!

Meng Chilang's kind of straightforwardness is fine, but Ye Guixiang doesn't believe that Jiang Guogong can't see it.

Jiang Guogong didn't even move his eyebrows, but nodded with a smile, and didn't answer directly: "The Prime Minister thinks... what is the biggest threat to the direct line?"

Prime Minister Ye was slightly taken aback.

"The prime minister is not from a family, and his foundation is still shallow, so he can't see through some things." The old man said indifferently, "The families that can be broken in the dispute between the son and the concubine have collapsed themselves and cannot support the scene."

"Duke..."

"Why did the family collapse? Wasn't it because the previous lineage was too useless?" Jiang Guogong stopped, and slowly turned his head to look at Ye Guixiang, "The biggest threat to the lineage has always been the self-indulging in the glory of the family and not thinking about making progress, not the bastard son contention."

Ye Guixiang frowned: "But Your Majesty's New Deal may not be able to mobilize the aggressiveness of the direct line."

The son-in-law can securely conquer the title, so what is there to fight for?

"In the past, the aggressiveness was nothing more than to please the Patriarch. But how can the Patriarch's favor compare with the favor of His Majesty and the court?" The old Duke started his steps again, his voice was old and steady, "If you just think about success, you will definitely succeed, but you can't keep it." live."

Prime Minister Ye stopped, looked at the back of the old Duke, his face remained unchanged, and nodded slightly: "The Lord's motto, I know it."

"The prime minister is young and promising, and has a promising future." The old man kept walking, and only left a sentence, "The same is true for your majesty. I am a big dragon, a dragon, a tiger, and a tiger. It is really a blessing from heaven."

Prime Minister Ye cursed the old fox inwardly.

He could hear the profound meaning of Jiang Guogong's words.

Even if Jiang Guo Gongfu is on His Majesty's side this time, it does not mean that the aristocratic family and the Prime Minister's faction have broken.

In the final analysis, it is all based on interests.

Ye Guixiang's face was uncertain, he looked back at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, suddenly let out a "hum", turned and left.

……

Li Jinyu didn't care what Ye Chengxiang was thinking, he was very happy rolling on the large hamster roller in his bedroom, his tail happily cocked.

Another big thing was done today, super happy!

When you are happy, you want to run the roller, and when you run the roller, you are even happier!

After running for more than an hour at a stretch, when Li Jinyu got off the roller, his face was still flushed with excitement.

Grabbing the satin towel at the side and wiping the sweat off his face, he called Lan Tang in. Li Jinyu hesitated whether to take a bath or not.

Although he was afraid of water, Huo Caiyu had patiently told him that not taking a bath would be harmful to his body.

A while ago, he had been imitating the technique Huo Caiyu had taught him, soaking the satin towel in the bathtub and wiping it on his body, repeatedly wiping until his body was clean.

Although it is troublesome, there is no need to soak in water.

It's just that the sweat on his body is a bit too much today... He used to control the roller running well, but today he was too happy to run too far.

Li Jinyu felt the sticky sensation of his body, and then looked at Lan Tang, which was steaming and with orchid flowers floating, and he became ruthless.

- Let's take a bath!

If you can't wipe it clean, people will smell the emperor's sweaty smell, how embarrassing and embarrassing!

After wiping his body with a wet satin towel for a while, Li Jinyu's fear of water was greatly reduced, so he bit the bullet and soaked in the orchid soup, and relaxed a little after a while.

The feeling of warm water with the aroma of orchids across the skin is actually not bad.

Li Jinyu submerged himself in the water from the neck down, fiddled with the bottom of the water twice with his feet, patted the inner wall of the Lantang bathtub with his tail, and let out a breath of comfort.

——Speaking of which, if he hadn't encountered a scary black cat in the bath last time, he might have been able to adapt to the water bath a long time ago...

Recalling the scene when he saw a black cat hanging upside down from the ceiling, Li Jinyu raised his head subconsciously and met a pair of bright green cat eyes.

--what?

Li Jinyu stared blankly at the cat on the ceiling, subconsciously subconsciously submerged himself in the bucket, and looked up at the ceiling after getting out of the water, but there was no shadow of the black cat.

——Sure enough, I had hallucinations?

Li Jinyu heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard a gloomy voice in his ear: "Unexpectedly, His Majesty is a hamster spirit."

Li Jinyu turned his head stiffly, and saw the weird black cat squatting on the edge of the Lantang bathtub at a close distance. Its blue eyes did not blink, it looked at Li Jinyu with interest, and licked its paws from time to time.

There seemed to be another chill floating around.

Li Jinyu's whole body instantly stiffened into a stone.

--cat!

——The black cat who can speak human language!

His soul wanted to cry out, but his body remained petrified, bringing him up close and face to face with the black cat, staring wide-eyed.

...he is still the one with the small eyes.

"When did you seize the emperor?" The black cat seemed to dislike the wet tub of Lantang, jumped onto the screen beside it, looked down at Li Jinyu, and frowned, "I am..."

The black cat was far away from Li Jinyu, and Li Jinyu's stiff body finally relaxed. Before the black cat finished speaking, he immediately cried out: "Ah!"

The black cat was startled by the piercing scream and almost fell off the screen.

It looked at Li Jinyu speechlessly, and was about to say something when it heard the door of the dormitory being pushed open with a bang, and that annoying human with Ziwei imperial aura broke in: "Your Majesty!"

Ziwei Emperor Qi restrained all evils, the black cat turned around, and ran away without a trace.

……

Huo Caiyu was sorting out the documents related to Chun Wei in the outer hall, when he suddenly heard His Majesty's panic-stricken shout from the sleeping hall, his mind went blank for an instant.

When he reacted, his body was already one step ahead of his consciousness, and he slapped open the palace door and broke into the bedroom: "Your Majesty!"

Almost exactly the same as last time, Huo Caiyu saw in the tub that his face was pale with fright, clinging to the wall of the tub, with a terrified expression.

This time Huo Caiyu glanced over and noticed a black shadow passing by.

He didn't have time to think about it, he rushed to the side of Lan Tang's bathtub, panicked: "Your Majesty?"

When Li Jinyu saw him, he instantly felt a strong sense of peace of mind. He let out a long breath, lying weakly on the edge of the bathtub, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to Huo Caiyu.

His legs and tail were so frightened that he couldn't stand up at all.

—Wait, tail? !

— Ah, forgot about this!

Li Jinyu's head, which had been blanked by the black cat's scare, instantly regained consciousness. He quickly withdrew his outstretched hands and shouted: "Stop!"

As soon as Huo Caiyu approached, Li Jinyu called him to stop, subconsciously stopped, watching his majesty suddenly changed from the consciousness of asking for a hug to extremely defensive.

Li Jinyu tried his best to squat down in the bathtub, hiding his legs and tail under the water, covering them with his hands, and widening his eyes: "You go out first!"

Huo Caiyu froze for a moment, pursed his lips, and took a step back obediently to go out.

——Your Majesty didn't care about exposing his body in front of him before, but now he is suddenly on guard against himself, could he have noticed something?

This realization made Huo Caiyu a little flustered.

"and many more!"

Li Jinyu felt a little uneasy when he thought of the black cat just now - he thought that the black cat would not dare to appear beside Huo Caiyu, but unexpectedly Huo Caiyu was in the outer hall, and the black cat slipped in anyway.

It's more at ease to be in the same room with Huo Caiyu.

"Stand there, turn your back."

Huo Caiyu didn't know why, but turned around obediently.

Li Jinyu let out a sigh of relief, tried to stand up in the bathtub, but fell back with a "plop".

Huo Caiyu heard the sound of water, resisted the urge to turn around, and asked aloud, "Your Majesty?"

After a while, Li Jinyu's small voice with a little shame came: "My feet are numb..."

Huo Caiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the sourness that rose just now suddenly disappeared in His Majesty's lovely voice.

"Do you want my minister to help?"

Li Jinyu thumped a few times in the tub but couldn't get out of the tub.Startled by the black cat, and kept in one position for too long, both of his legs are completely useless now.

Li Jinyu gritted his teeth and said, "You take me out, but blindfolded."

Huo Caiyu must not let him see his tail!

Huo Caiyu was startled again, pursed his lips again, and said obediently: "Your eyes are closed."

"No." Li Jinyu was a little worried.

Although Huo Caiyu's character is absolutely trustworthy, what if his eyes suddenly itch and want to blink?

Huo Caiyu absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot discover his tail!

He thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to the new satin scarf on the screen - no, there was a black cat squatting there!

She reached out to the armchair again, grabbed a used satin scarf, and handed it to Huo Caiyu: "Cover your eyes."

Huo Caiyu couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, but he obediently took the satin scarf and tied it over his eyes.

After tying it up, Huo Caiyu felt even worse.

This satin scarf seems to be used by His Majesty to wipe sweat.

Tied to the eyes, you can clearly smell the smoked ambergris on the satin scarf in your nostrils, and there is also a faint smell of sweat.

Huo Caiyu stood there dumbfounded, until Li Jinyu urged him twice, then moved stiffly, following Li Jinyu's instructions, carried Li Jinyu out of the tub.

Touching His Majesty's dripping skin with his fingers, Huo Caiyu trembled again before he managed to hug Li Jinyu firmly.

Li Jinyu stared at Huo Caiyu's hand with trepidation, and curled his tail tightly behind his buttocks, for fear that Huo Caiyu would accidentally touch it.

Fortunately, although all kinds of thoughts in Huo Caiyu's heart were circling and exploding, his hands were still cautious and very firm.

Only a few steps away from the dragon bed, Li Jinyu felt as if his nerves had been taut for 1 years.

Finally being put on the bed by Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu heaved a long sigh of relief, turned over with difficulty, and wanted to move his numb legs and feet.

At this time, Huo Caiyu took another satin scarf: "Your Majesty, wipe off the water."

Last time, His Majesty had a fever because he didn't wipe off the water on his body. Huo Caiyu didn't intend to repeat the same mistakes this time.

Li Jinyu watched helplessly as Huo Caiyu's hand pressed on his tail that had just slackened through the satin scarf.

——Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !
