Xia Youxiangyun

In the early dynasty, the court was still in turmoil, and the post of inspection department was set up in each king's territory. The main purpose was to supervise the actions of the king and report it to the emperor in time, which was a kind of restraint for the kings.The other imperial relatives are easy to fool, but the Qinghe inspection department has always been the focus of the court. No matter how soft Qin Yao is, the Qinghe inspection department is still firmly in his hands. The position is still the direct line of the emperor, so Qin Yao is not ignorant of everything that happened in Qinghe.

It's just that Qin Xuan has become more and more courageous in the past two years. One of the first two Qinghe inspectors suddenly died suddenly, and the other's whereabouts are unknown. condemn.

"From the point of view of the veteran, the Qinghe territory has always been peaceful and prosperous, and a younger official should be sent there, which can be regarded as exercising experience. Mr. Huo is very good. He used to pay special attention to the Qinghe territory when he was studying, so He knows a lot." The speaker was Zhong Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, one of Qinghe King Qin Xuan's main combat forces in the capital, and the Master Huo he mentioned was his own student named Huo Nian, who was well-known in the capital.

Xia Rui knew that he was going to play again, so he felt a headache. Every time the Qinghe Inspection Department changed, the two factions in the court and the Chinese wanted to fight each other.He snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Master Zhong's words are wrong. It is true that Qinghe territory has always been rich and peaceful, but it is also a piece of land. If the people of Qinghe know that His Majesty has appointed officials like this, I don't know what they will think of His Majesty and the court. "

Zhong Xing knew that Xia Rui had always been a thorn in the head, never thought of the consequences in his words and actions, and had a feeling of "it's today after today", but precisely because of his recklessness, everyone in the court gave him three points.Originally, being an official is a tactful thing. Most of the time, everyone just needs to fight for superiority. There is no need to fight to the death. Xia Rui is different.

"Oh?" Zhong Xing made a look of listening attentively: "I don't know, who do you think is better to be appointed by Master Xia?" I don't want to talk about it, but since I opened my mouth today, it is inevitable that I will be depressed if I don't say it, and I feel that Master Meng seems more appropriate." "Master Meng" is also Qin Yao's direct descendant, Meng Shuo, who was newly promoted youth officer.

Zhong Xingdao: "In terms of age, Mr. Meng is two years younger than Mr. Huo. According to Mr. Xia, I'm afraid it's not right?" Xia Rui straightened his clothes and smiled: "What's wrong? Mr. Meng is Mr. Huo was born as a Jinshi, and Mr. Huo entered the officialdom because of his kindness, so Mr. Meng is probably better than his talent and learning?" When these words came out, not only Huo Nian's face was not good-looking, but many people in the court turned black. We all know that the most convincing people are admitted to the official examination, and the Jinshi is the most popular among them. Yin En's entry into the official is naturally not as good as Jinshi's background, but many people in the court rely on family recommendations and teachers' letters to enter the court as officials. , this time I was cut face all the time, but it was not easy to get angry, so I had to endure it secretly.

Zhong Xing's heart changed. Xia Rui never cared how many people he had offended and made many enemies. Now Qin Yao is protecting him and gaining a foothold in the court. If Qin Yao abandons him in the future, I am afraid Xia Rui will die without a whole body: "Haha, Lord Xia is joking again. In this way, Lord Xia is also a Jinshi, and he is a young talent who has won His Majesty's trust. How about Lord Xia to be the Qinghe inspection department?"

This is also the conclusion drawn from the discussion between Zhong Xing and Qin Xuan. There are three people in Qin Yao's lineage in the imperial court who are the most troublesome. Xia Rui's fellow apprentice, Fu Qingyan, served as the servant of the household department, and the last one was Jiang Jingyuan, the eldest son of Duke Anguo. Of these three, one was desperate, the other was useless, and the last one had a noble status.Apart from members of the royal family, An Guogong is the most respected person in the court. The son of An Guogong, apart from the emperor and empress, even the concubines and empresses in the palace have to give him three points of courtesy.

What Qin Xuan meant was that if the Qinghe inspection department was still Qin Yao's person, then he should simply transfer one of these three people over. Qinghe is his territory. The third one is also up to him.Jiang Jingyuan, as the son of Lord Anguo, the official position of the Qinghe Inspection Department is too low, and it must be released, which is definitely inappropriate. As for Fu Qingyan, the servant of the household department is an extremely stable official position, and it is very important. Xia Rui is the most suitable.

Zhong Xing saluted Qin Yao respectfully again: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, it is better to let Lord Xia Rui go. Your Majesty can rest assured." He paused, but did not hear Qin Yao's words. He raised his eyes slightly, and saw Qin Yao sitting on the dragon chair with anger in his eyes.

Zhong Xing immediately broke into a cold sweat. Qin Yao's good temper is well known throughout the country. He has been an official in the court for many years and has never seen Qin Yao angry. It is precisely because of this that the King Qinghe faction has always spoken unscrupulously in court.Now seeing Qin Yao's face suddenly changed, Zhong Xing couldn't help becoming nervous. He heard that dragons have reverse scales, and those who touch them will die. He doesn't know why he made Qin Yao so angry.

However, Xia Rui said again at this time: "That's okay, the official has been working in the court since he became an official, but he is short-sighted as an admonisher. , What do you have to worry about? Is it possible that sudden death and disappearance are the norm in Qinghe?"

"Enough!" Qin Yao suddenly slapped the dragon chair, and everyone facing up was shocked. Qin Yao had never lost such a big temper, and even Xia Rui was taken aback, and gave Qin Yao a strange look. A good solution is to follow Zhong Xing's words and let him serve as the Qinghe inspection department first. As for whether to change people, it can be discussed in the long run.

Qin Yao frowned and glanced at the crowd, and said with a cold snort: "I'm tired, this matter will be discussed later, let's retreat."

After the court, there was a lot of discussion among the people. Many people thought that Qin Yao was angry because of Xia Rui's outspokenness, but Zhong Xing watched carefully. Qin Yao was clearly angry because of what he said.

Xia Rui also thought that what he said was too much to offend the Emperor, and after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he was out of line. When he first entered the court, he often "reincarnated" the "coffin board" "What he was talking about, it took several corrections to become what he is now. He has paid great attention to the wording today, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

This is also a set of methods that he, Fu Qingyan and Jiang Jingyuan came up with. They are few in number, but their classes are very average. Small officials, high officials, and aristocratic families, if one thing cannot be settled, Xia Rui has always been the first to come forward and make trouble. , and then Fu Qingyan came out to apologize to his junior brother. In the end, Jiang Jingyuan used his identity to overwhelm him. No matter what it was, he could always stabilize in the end. Therefore, for King Qinghe, it was not the three of them who had a headache, but the three of them. This little faction of individuals.

If Xia Rui is not allowed to speak without restraint, the method that the three of them have researched before will be useless.Neither Fu Qingyan nor Jiang Jingyuan could play the role of Xia Rui.

In other words, there is only one Xia Rui who can play this role.

Xia Rui couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it, thinking that Qin Yao was angry today, so she stopped wandering around in front of him, walked back and forth on foot after getting off the court, and walked back to her residence.His official position is not high, he has not yet reached the point where the imperial court uniformly distributes a house, and his monthly salary is not much, and he is not well-known, so no one gives him gold and silver gifts, so he still lives in a small house that his teacher once left in the capital. In the village, although the house is small, the location is very good, and it is surrounded by officials and scholars, Xia Rui is very satisfied.

There is also a peach tree planted in the front yard of the house, which is exactly the same as the one in the small town academy where he used to be.

Xia Rui looked up at the peach blossoms, it was the most brilliant blooming time, and felt as if he had returned to the academy when he was young.The memory in the academy is not the best, because he was born in a merchant family. Even though the family conditions are good, many scholars still look down on him. In addition, his personality is not good, and people who hate him abound.There is also someone he hates, Fu Qingyan, this person has always stood in front of him like a mountain when he was young, a mountain that he cannot overcome.

But the life in the academy is not too bad. Although his teacher, Mr. Xu doesn't like his personality, he recognizes his talent. Mrs. Xu treats all students equally, and will send homemade Small snacks, or a green ball, or a bowl of yuanxiao, are things he can't eat at home.

Xia Rui recalled the past, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly. At that time, he had just been selected as a scholar, and when everyone left after school, he saw Mr. Xu's only son talking and laughing with Fu Qingyan and went back to the backyard. He was very envious , I envy Fu Qingyan not only for being talented, but also for having someone who treats him sincerely.

Then he walked out of the academy, and saw that honest man holding a basket with two bright yellow loquats in his hand.

Xia Rui was startled, she didn't know why she recalled those old memories again, and finally attributed it to the dream she had last night.He shook his head, trying to get some of the things out of his head, but he couldn't seem to get rid of them, they were all together in a drowsy state, not very clear.

He turned his head, and what caught his eye was a purple dress.

"Your Majesty? Why are you here?" Xia Rui opened his eyes wide and took a step back in fright.

Qin Yao looked at him, but didn't answer his question: "Who were you thinking about just now?"
