God level hypnotist

Several snowfalls in winter come one after another, making the whole capital city seem to be trapped in the Yuyu Qionglou paved with white snow, so quiet that it seems to be hibernating along with the dead branches and wild animals.

However, the court is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the lake, causing circles of ripples. Although it was not enough to stir up strong winds and waves, it seemed that a storm was brewing.

First, the matter of the postponement of the imperial examination is still fermenting. Although the anger of the candidates has been appeased by various means, some people have been pointed out that there is another mystery to this matter, and they jointly wrote a letter to remonstrate with some of the candidates. Directly pointing to the cabinet center of inaction.

Then there was a case that happened in Shuntian Mansion at the beginning of the month. Although it was not a shocking event, several of the people involved in the case turned out to be servants of important officials in the court. Yushi Zhongcheng heard about this and even arranged for several of his subordinates The official made a memorial to the sage, and participated in a copy of this important minister.

Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who seldom speaks out about political affairs, also went straight to the Holy Majesty's imperial study one day after he came down from court.

No one knows what the father and son talked about in the study.

However, seeing that the young prince's expression became a bit more solemn after he left the imperial study room, he couldn't help but arouse speculations from all parties.

Maybe the court is about to change?

Some people speculated with such trepidation.

However, things were beyond the imagination of some people, and fell into the hands of others.

It is extremely difficult to shake the roots of a towering tree, not to mention that there is another force behind this tree.

In the end, all the ministers in the cabinet were only fined for three months because they did not handle the matter of appeasing the son.

The chief assistant, Wu Youzhen, did not even demote a single official position. The imperial edict only said that he would be punished for introspecting himself and failing to discipline his servants. Apart from that, nothing changed.

When he heard the edict came down, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rarely turned cold. After returning to the East Palace, he even stayed behind closed doors, playing songs and drinking every night, as if he was completely disheartened by the government and depraved.

Regarding this, Wu Youzhen only raised the corners of her lips calmly, as if everything was under the control of this scheming and powerful chief assistant.

Inside the East Palace, silk and bamboo banquets were held, red sleeves were fluttering, and several princes were sitting opposite each other on both sides. The banquet was very uncomfortable.

Only Xiao Yu, who was sitting on top and dressed in a brocade robe, had a smile on his face, but when he raised his glass to drink, there was a trace of indelible solemnity between his brows and eyes.

For him, feasting and having fun is just a helpless move at the moment.

Wu Youzhen's influence in the DPRK is deeply intertwined, and it will not be easy to overthrow. He had already expected it, but what he didn't expect was that this time he had presented the evidence of Wu Youzhen's corruption and bribery, and collusion with demon forces to the imperial court, and he only got Wu Youzhen to "shut up." door introspection".

Its methods are really ingenious and should not be underestimated.

Even confronting him head-on this time not only leaves the opponent unscathed, but also exposes part of his own forces to the opponent's eyes. breath.

It's just a pity that because of this incident, the other party may also annoy that boy.

Doctor Meng...

Thinking of the young man, Xiao Yu's heart felt slightly astringent, it was suddenly mixed with a kind of emotion mixed with joy and sorrow, which made him feel that there was something in his heart, and he couldn't take it off.

The young man has always disliked official affairs, and even regards power and status as nothing. This time he was imprisoned because he offended Wu Youzhen because of his arrogance and refusal to flatter him.

Although the young man was lucky enough to get out of the predicament this time, he has lost a whole city right now. If Wu Youzhen took the opportunity to make trouble at this time, and then pushed the young man into a predicament, how could he protect the young man?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help clenching the sapphire and bamboo cup in his hand a little bit. The clear wine swirled around in the cup, and a few drops accidentally spilled out, sprinkled on the young man's face embroidered with dark golden dragons. patterned sleeves.

Seeing this scene, a court lady hurried up and wiped the young man's cuffs with a clean brocade handkerchief.

But the movements seemed to be extremely tactful and gentle, and the woman's soft and fragrant body was too close.There was an overly sticky scent of incense lingering on the tip of his nose.

Xiao Yu frowned.

The maids in his palace had never been so unruly.

At that time when he raised his eyes and was about to reprimand him, he saw the younger brothers sitting at the bottom winking at each other and looking at him with playful smiles.

Xiao Yufang had no choice but to dismiss the court lady, and raised his glass to signal to the imperial brothers.

But seeing that this group of people still didn't let him go, they put down their wine glasses, and joked: "I know that Brother Huang has always worried about the country and the people, and has big plans in mind, unlike me and others who only know how to have fun and be free and easy. Ruanyu Wenxiang is in front, but the emperor really didn't even glance at it?"

The one who spoke was his younger brother, the third emperor, who had always been suave and suave, and was quite at home in the pink town.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to say something, he saw the Seventh Brother also smiled and agreed: "Brother Three Emperors, you are wrong. I saw that Brother Huang's expression of happiness and worry just now does not seem to be worrying about the country and the people." , it seems to be thinking of some beautiful woman, there is a beautiful woman in my heart, so I turn a blind eye to the beautiful woman around me."

The two were talking and laughing, and they even started arguing with each other, making a fuss, not even half a prince.

Xiao Yu sighed and shook his head.

Unlike the open and secret struggles of the previous dynasty, the relationship between the brothers has always been harmonious. Whether it is their daily private contacts or their political opinions, they have always supported him. keep it from them.

It's just that when it comes to joking around, he is always the emperor's younger brother who can't talk to a few eloquent ones. This time he was teased and teased by the two emperor's younger brothers, so he had to laugh it off and ignore it.

I don't want the bright and lively Seventh Prince to see Xiao Yu ignore him that day, but he became more energetic, approached the young man with a smile, and said, "Could it be that he really misses the beautiful woman?"

While talking, he said "tsk tut" in a voice: "I wonder that the elder brother of the emperor is not close to women, and there is not even a beautiful concubine in the palace. But it turns out that the beautiful woman has been hidden for a long time, and I don’t want our brothers to know about it, so it’s not interesting for the emperor!"

What he said immediately aroused the interest of all the princes, one and two sighed, "So that's the case", "Fortunately, Brother Huang is not bad at that aspect" and so on.

Xiao Yu didn't hold back for a moment, the wine in his mouth spewed out, but the remaining half choked into his lungs, his face flushed red from coughing.

Now there was even more teasing and joking.

He hurriedly took the brocade handkerchief handed over by the maid at the side, covered his mouth and wiped it, but when he was flustered, he suddenly remembered this embarrassing scene as if he had known him before.

At the boy's mansion that day, he was choked up by the cold tea in the same way, but was teased by the boy for a long time.

Thinking of this, the burning sensation in his lungs from being choked eased a little, and he even couldn't help but slightly curled up the corners of his lips.

Comparing that handsome young man to a "beautiful woman", if the young man knew about it, he would definitely be angry and annoyed.

Well, speaking of it, he has never seen a young man angry before, if those eyes that are always smiling lightly are filled with anger, it must be another kind of unforgettable demeanor...

"Brother Huang, are you okay?" Just as he was thinking, Xiao Yu was interrupted by such a question.

It turned out that the third prince saw that Xiao Yu had been silent for a long time, and thought it was the jokes of the few of them going too far.

Xiao Yu looked again, and they all looked at him with silent expressions, and couldn't help laughing.

But I don't want to make them guess and tease me so casually, I pondered for a while, and then said: "The current court situation is not peaceful, I have no intention of men and women, so where did the 'beautiful woman' come from? Cheng, you are laughing at me. "

Seeing his serious and boring answer, all the princes couldn't help sighing, winked at each other, and then went to admire the graceful dancing girl again without interest.

Xiao Yu smiled lightly, but his mood became heavy again.

The current court situation really does not allow him to have a chance to breathe.Nowadays, more and more cabinet ministers are relied on, and the chief assistant of the cabinet has become an existence above the imperial power.

It is also necessary to be cautious and take the time to figure out your talent.

Xiao Yu's side was full of worries, and Wu Youzhen's side was not at ease.

In the elegant and unsophisticated study room, a man with a heavy face was standing by the desk, frowning silently, and there was a woman sitting beside the rosewood table not far from him.

It was a woman with a particularly coquettish and beautiful appearance.

The woman was wearing a crimson dress, leaning casually on the chair, she had a charming style, but the expression on her face was a bit too sinister.

It was a chilling viciousness.

Wu Youzhen glanced at the woman, frowned, and walked a few steps with hands behind her back, feeling only depressed.

Although Jinshang did not lose his trust in him this time, on the contrary, he became more protective of him, but the blow from the prince's side had to make him more vigilant.

I thought it was a dying sick cat, but unexpectedly it was a crouching tiger in false sleep.

And this "Crouching Tiger" is actually related to that thorn in his side.

Wu Youzhen paced back and forth in the study, her face getting darker and darker.

After all, he still underestimated that Doctor Meng.

The boy's every move was actually more thoughtful than him, until he was caught off guard in the end, it really had to be a wake-up call.

"In your opinion," Wu Youzhen pondered for a while, and finally asked in a deep voice: "Then Meng Heng is really the son of Meng Ren, Minister of the Ministry of War?"
