Dugong is polite, Xiaosheng can't stand it

There is no such thing as a clean person in the world, the bottom line is whether you want to be close, if you don't want to be close, then you don't want to say a word, if you are willing to be close, you are willing to do anything.

(40) Entering the Palace

At that time, Xue Yu could be considered to have experienced another state of drunkenness of the scholar. It seemed that his temperament had changed, but the whole thing had changed. At the banquet, the scholar's eloquence was so eloquent that the people at the table were stunned.

He threw the scholar back to the mansion, but the scholar became much more honest when he saw the bed, and fell asleep while lying on the bed.

Xue Yu came out from the scholar's residence. It was late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the street. He had already sensed the person following him, and secretly touched the soft sword at his waist.

A person from the dark came out, it was Gao Zhi's hidden guard, when that person came out, he stared at Xue Yu with his eyes exposed from under the black shell mask, and said coldly, "Preach the sage's order to order Master Xue to enter the palace. "

Dongchang is not the only one in Gao Zhi, Dongchang was built by Xue Yu, it sounds like it is just a supervisory office in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, in fact, the guards of Dongchang are not eunuchs, Dongchang naturally only obeys the arrangements of the governor.

Gao Zhi naturally knew this. Although Xue Yu obeyed him, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be able to control it. That's why the Imperial Forest Army and the hidden guards talked about it.

In the deep palace, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart. Tonight is destined to be a bloody night.

The high-walled palace is very quiet tonight. Xue Yu's eyeliner is everywhere in the palace. Dongchang is nominally the house of internal affairs in the palace, but in fact it does take this job. Where there are eunuchs in the palace, naturally he can do it. place to know.

The little eunuch leading the way was holding a lamp, and the shadow of the lamp kept shaking. It wasn't because of the strong wind, but the little eunuch was trembling. His hand was trembling with the lantern, his waist was hooked, and he wanted to shrink into a ball.

Xue Yu couldn't help frowning when he saw it, the little eunuch's frightened and wimpy appearance was somewhat similar to that scholar.

"What happened in the palace?"

Xue Yu's sudden question made the little eunuch tremble. The little eunuch was trembling, and he didn't say anything for a long time. He was still in shock. All the eunuchs in the palace winked. The little eunuch looked dazed, probably because he just saw something.

The little eunuch lowered his head and looked around quietly, as if he was afraid that a monster would suddenly jump out and eat him, and he felt relieved when he saw that no one was around.

"Duke, today Xue Jixuan lost his life. When the slave entered, Li and Li Concubine died."

Hearing this, Xue Yu had a certain idea in mind, this little eunuch must be serving at Xuejixuan, something happened in Xuejixuan, all the little eunuchs will know, the news of this matter is really big, I really don't know how big a crime Li Pin committed to cause such trouble.

Concubine Li did nothing wrong. She is an ordinary concubine with an ordinary background, an ordinary appearance, such a winking, such a smart woman should live the longest in the deep palace, not to mention the blessing of the entire Dongchang.

However, she was totally wrong. Xue Jixuan's concubine Li was the meticulous work of Xue Yu's subordinates, and it was excellent.

Among the concubines, Concubine Li could neither be favored nor neglected. If she had changed before, she would have thought that Concubine Li was smart in her actions, but now it seems that her treatment is so high that she is only smarter.

The Holy Majesty summoned the eunuch who was supposed to be summoned by Gao Zhi's side, but now he called the little eunuch who was originally on duty at Xuejixuan.

Xue Yu thought about it for a while, even if the whole Southern Zhou Dynasty was turned upside down now, so what.

Arriving in front of the Imperial Study Hall, the little eunuch swallowed tremblingly and led Xue Yu into the hall.

In the imperial study room, Gao Zhi had removed all the serving ladies and eunuchs, only that person was sitting in front of the desk reviewing the memorial, as if the people who came in hadn't affected him.

Xue Yu walked to the front of the case and said, "I see the Holy One."

Only after Gao Zhi unhurriedly reviewed the memorial in his hand did he withdraw from it, and took out an imperial decree from the case, bright yellow brocade silk, embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons, seemed to shine brightly.

"Have you heard about Concubine Li?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't know, please let me know." Xue Yu's words were all respectful, but the sharpness in his words was dangerous, and the momentum did not diminish at all, and there was no sign of retreat in his words.

There are only the two of them in the imperial study room, why do those meaningless disguises, as for the little eunuch who bowed his head and cowered at the side, his life has been counting down since he was arranged to live in Xuejixuan where Concubine Li lived spent the days.

Everything in the palace is a secret, but a young eunuch has witnessed the execution of a concubine by the current emperor, so there is no room for him to live now, the little eunuch can live until now, just to set an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

When the little eunuch died, his eyes were still cowering in fear, and he didn't even understand how and why he died. His body curled up on the ground, and blood spread all over his body.

The blood was about to touch the edge of Xue Yu's shoe, Xue Yu took a step back and avoided it, he didn't even bother to take a look at it, there are too many palace people who died inexplicably every year in the palace, this one, one more is not counted More, one less is not less.

Xue Yu only picked up the imperial decree and slowly opened it, and read every single word in the imperial decree. The meaning was that Concubine Li was relegated to the cold palace because she violated a big taboo in the palace. Concubine Li committed suicide because she could not bear the cold Thinking that she was virtuous and virtuous in the palace, she resumed her status as a concubine and gave her concubine's relatives comfort.

No matter how reasonable it is, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is hard to explain the affairs in the deep palace. No one would care about the life and death of a concubine.

The only difference is that this time, the people from Dongchang died, but Gao Zhi wanted people to care, Xue Yu wanted to care.

Xue Yu placed the imperial decree on the case respectfully, with a calm expression, without any panic or hesitation.

"Concubine Li made a mistake and should be relegated to the cold palace. The Holy Majesty is magnanimous, thinking of her virtuousness, and giving her a title."

Gao just smiled, he hadn't planned to use a small work to arouse Xue Yu's emotions, if he really wanted Xue Yu to change his expression, he could wait until the sky fell, and now it might be because of a scholar...

Ke laughed, but Gao Zhi couldn't stop laughing, the knife should be sharp, if it is curled, then the knife should be thrown away.

"The matter of Concubine Li is over, and I don't want to mention it anymore. Let them announce the imperial decree tomorrow."

Gao Zhi said again: "I am really interested in that scholar. Do you think he is qualified for the post of Minister?"

Hearing this, Xue Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, as if thinking.

The qualifications of a scholar are still young, and he has been appointed as a fifth-rank official in less than two years, which can be regarded as a straight rise. If he becomes a minister again, the position of a scholar in the court can be said to be difficult.

Xue Yu thought for a moment, then said: "This matter should be decided by the Holy Majesty. If the Holy Majesty thinks it is okay, the minister will think it is okay."

Gao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, remained calm, and took it with just one sentence.

The night wind was blowing, blowing Xue Yu's sleeves. It was time for him to make some plans.

(41) Assassination

Scholars and officials worship ministers, and they are officials at a young age. They are officials of the third rank, and they are highly valued by the sages.

Today, there is a troupe for the Beijing event, and there is a famous actor among them. It can be said that it is hard to find a play on weekdays. Speaking of which, the scholar got this benefit from Gao You, and the troupe was invited by Guiyue Villa However, the Seventeenth Prince was invited to Guiyue Mountain Villa, but the scholar came here because of the prince's sake.

Guiyue Villa belongs to Wukuyun's lineage, and Wukuyun's family is a master of modern medicine, and anyone in his clan is one of the best figures, and those who can be invited by Guiyue Villa must also be today's dignitaries .

Entering Guiyue Mountain Villa is optional, the scenery of the mountain villa is very good, and the owner of the villa invites everyone to wander around.

The scholar saw that there were many people coming in and out of the theater troupe, and that Guiyue Mountain Villa was bustling, so he wanted to take a look at the backstage of the theater troupe. Who knew that as soon as he put his head in, he saw a person inside who was covered in red, so scared that the scholar hurried Stepping back, unexpectedly bumped into someone, which made the scholar jump in fright.

Before Xiaosheng could turn around, he blurted out: "I'm really sorry, Xiaosheng definitely didn't mean it."

"Master Zhao didn't mean it, so how could I blame him?"

The voice was very nice, the scholar turned around in a hurry, the scholar turned around and looked back, the person he bumped into should have been a man, but the one in front of him had red lips and white teeth, his eyebrows and eyes were amorous, really good-looking.

Thinking about this man's voice just now, it is also gentle, really indistinguishable between male and female, but his stature is taller than that of ordinary men.

The scholar hurriedly picked up the thing that knocked him off and returned it to the man. The man was not annoyed when he was hit, but just stopped the scholar.

"The people in the troupe are preparing to change their clothes to sing a big show, please forgive me for not letting them in and out at will."

The scholar just glanced at him thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Xiaosheng knows, so I won't enter."

"What happened just now?" The man casually glanced at the troupe, then looked at the scholar again.

The scholar didn't hide anything, and told the truth, he seemed to see a bloody person just now, and when that person heard the words, there was contempt in his eyes.

"That's the color used for singing and makeup. It's not a bad thing, so why are you afraid of these things?"

As expected of a traveler who specializes in opera, the scholar saw in his eyes that he was a bumpkin, even the scholar himself felt so.

The scholar even claimed yes, made amends and apologized, and finally hurried away from the backstage with that look in his eyes. After that, the scholar thought that he had gone too far, and that he was only playing the backstage for fun. .

He just walked forward while blaming himself, completely forgetting that he is still the third-rank Shangshu today, and the whole Southern Zhou Dynasty can
