emperor and dragon

Long Rui stood beside Xue Chan in the imperial study.

Xue Chan bowed his head to review the memorial as usual, while Long Rui also stood aside as usual.This is a habit developed between the two for nearly 13 years.It cannot be changed.

Looking at Xue Chan, Long Rui was in a daze. The person in front of him finally chose a concubine, and soon, he will leave the world where there were only the two of them.

"Stay together, stay together!" The voice called Long Rui's soul back.Xiangliu is Long Rui's character, and among the people in the world, there are only two people who know Long Rui's character, except for Long Rui himself.

"What's the matter, Nagasawa?" Long Rui asked Xue Chan.

Xue Chan, courtesy name Changze.The emperor in the Tianrun period, Long Rui's assistant, and the person Long Rui fell in love with accidentally.

"I called you many times just now, but you were wandering." Xue Chan replied quite dissatisfied.

Long Rui returned an apologetic smile.

Xue Chan never called himself a widow to Long Rui, and Long Rui never used the tone of an elder to Xue Chan.

"Xiangliu, why did you say that this year's tax has increased so strangely?" Xue Chan handed the memorial to Long Rui, and as always, asked for Long Rui's opinion.After all, the knowledge of a dragon who has lived for nearly ten thousand years is always better than that of a person who has just passed the weak crown.Naturally, a relationship without many secrets was formed between the two of them.

"Nagasawa, you have only been enthroned for a short time. Naturally, there is no shortage of officials from all over the country to please the new emperor. When one person thinks of oppressing the people, others will follow suit. Over time, this phenomenon will snowball like a snowball, and it will get bigger and bigger."

Long Rui put down the memorial in his hand and explained slowly.

"Sure enough," Xue Chan frowned, "Let the household department investigate, those people don't move for now, and we have to be careful and put some eyeliner in the future."

"No."

Long Rui's words made Xue Chan somewhat puzzled: "Why?"

"The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's taxation. Which one of these memorials has not been read by the Ministry of Accounts, and how can the Ministry of Accounting not know the number. If they do nothing, it means that some of them acquiesce. Or..."

"Or someone didn't let them report it." Xue Chan looked at the amount of income that Long Rui handed over to the treasury, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong.

It is true that the two numbers are the same, but the person who made the fake account may have forgotten that the income that is finally handed over to the treasury is to deduct the money that has been distributed, and the two numbers will not be the same.

Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. This is what makes people grasp the fatal handle.

"Xiangliu, who do you want to investigate?"

"Meng Qingyun, the legitimate son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment." Xue Chan knew the person Long Rui mentioned.Xue Chan, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is also quite optimistic.

"Why him?"

"It is indeed in line with the clean-up to let the Minister of the Ministry of Justice go, but after all, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Meng Lai, belongs to your father, not yours. Now is the time for you to support more of your own subordinates."

Each of Long Rui's suggestions has been considered a lot, but it is definitely beneficial to Xue Chan.

Xue Chan naturally understood the reason, and decided to write a letter in person, and asked Long Rui to hand it to Meng Qingyun in private.

After all, you can't scare the snake so quickly.

After dinner, Xue Chan continued to review, while Long Rui took out the memorials that were not necessary to review, and put the important ones in front of Xue Chan in order, so that he could review them conveniently.

The imperial study room was very quiet, but it was not oppressive, but full of warmth.

Suddenly, Xiao Shunzi came over and asked Xue Chan if he wanted a concubine to sleep with him today.

Long Rui was a little stunned, serving the bed...

That's right, aside from Xiao Shunzi, Long Rui almost forgot that Xue Chan already had a concubine.

Long Rui looked at Xue Chan, and saw that Xue Chan did not look up, but said to Xiao Shunzi flatly: "I don't need it today, I will go to bed in the imperial study today. By the way, get rid of the people waiting outside, leave one or two behind." A vigil is enough."

Xiao Shunzi accepted the order to back down.

Afterwards, Xue Chan said to Long Rui: "Xiangliu, help me see which of those women are intended to be used by the aristocratic family to contain me, and which ones I can rest assured."

Long Rui could only answer: "Okay."

Long Rui didn't speak any more, just stood aside, swallowing his mouthful of bitterness.Is this for him, Long Xiangliu, to personally push the woman to the side of the one he loves and destroy his self-deception all along?Xue Chan, do you mean to make me suffer with this decision?

That night, they reunited.Time and time again, Long Rui called "Changze", but Long Rui never heard Xue Chan call him "Xiangliu".But Long Rui said the unspeakable "I love you" again and again in his heart.

Having said that, they really can't let them deceive themselves anymore.That being said...it's impossible.

It was late at night, and Xue Chan beside him was already sound asleep, but Long Rui opened his eyes.Long Rui sat up cautiously, for fear that Xue Chan would wake up.Putting his hand on Xue Chan's forehead, a gentle yellow light glowed on his hand.

Xue Chan never knew that every night, there would always be someone stroking his head like this, and putting all the calming spells into it.Therefore, Xue Chan never found out that after meeting Long Rui, his nightmare was separated from him ever since.

The quiet study room is very quiet, vaguely, you can hear someone whispering: "My Nagasawa, I love you..."
