The general will give birth soon

After Gu Chongming was seconded to Taichang Temple, he was sent to the Zhihui Pavilion in the southwest corner of the yamen to copy the history books just completed for Wen Guo.His colleagues in the temple told him that he only copied for two hours a day, and he could come late and leave early, because his name was not in the Taichang Temple's book, and Taichang Temple was now facing elimination. .

Gu Chongming responded with "hmm" on his lips, and shouted "Bah" in his heart: this group of people, seeing that he is a newcomer, will treat him like a fool.

Taichang Temple is facing elimination, and what the people in the temple dislike the most is the Ministry of Rites with equivalent responsibilities. He must be the target of public criticism when he is sent by the Ministry of Rites to practice.Although this group of people does not know how to crowd out the face, they secretly feed him the sugar-coated poison/drug:

They are not allowed to participate in the official affairs of the temple, and only do manual work of copying.

Advising him to be lazy, to come late and leave early, is to wait for him to slack off and make mistakes, and then bite back at the Ministry of Rites, hoping to make a big fuss and change the holy will.

So treacherous.

He followed his tricks, using his innocent and harmless baby face to reduce everyone's wariness, and then deliberately being lazy for a while, making them think he was hooked.During the period, General Dou, the minister of the temple, indeed turned a blind eye. It seems that this matter was mostly ordered or acquiesced by him.

Gu Chongming was angry in his heart, the court was really dirty.

Then just wait, it's time for backlash!He is not easy to mess with!

As soon as Xiao Yuheng recovered, he began to inspect the nine temples and five prisons, and specially invited the imperial decree for Si You to accompany and assist him.

On the day of visiting Taichang Temple, Xiao Yuheng sat on the chariot, his light golden palace clothes slightly bulged on his abdomen, and his whole body was full of ink and ink, as if he was an exiled immortal.

General Dou led his troops to greet him, kneeling respectfully and meticulously, like a formal classic.When Xiao Yuheng entered the yamen, he followed by one side, talking about official business in a gentle voice, and his eyes occasionally drifted to Si You on the other side.

"The high-ranking people in Taichang Temple are all here?" Xiao Yuheng asked while taking a break from serving tea after patrolling for a while.

General Dou turned his head and quickly counted, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."

"Isn't there a new Jinshi from the Ministry of Rites? His name is... Gu Chongming?"

Si You's expression tightened, and he looked at General Dou, General Dou said: "There is such a person, it's just that the Lord asked the people in Taichang Temple just now, and I didn't count him, and the Lord forgives the crime."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuheng held up the teacup, "Call him over, it's His Majesty's new law to second the department officials, and I just happen to take a look on His Majesty's behalf."

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and the eunuch next to Emperor Chengxuan rushed in and knelt down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived at the Jiuhua Palace, please return to the palace."

Xiao Yuheng put down the teacup, "I am visiting nine temples and five prisons today. I have just come out. I am afraid it will take two or three hours."

"But, but the Holy Majesty has finished his court affairs right now, so he happens to be free..."

Xiao Yuheng said slowly: "Go back and pass on the words of my lord, and tell them to drink the fairy dew and give it to the Holy One to taste. It is made of the five most precious flowers in the northern border. It takes a winter and spring, and it can be drunk in early summer. Have a pure heart. The whole body, the effect of rejuvenating the face and concentrating the mind. Today is just the day, I thought I would send it to the Holy One after finishing the official duties, and now the Holy One is here, just in time."

"But, but..." The chief eunuch had a difficult face.

"Go, I still have business to do."

The corner of the eunuch's mouth twitched, and he backed away with a mournful face.

I thought that Shijun Xiao was really serious, after so long arguing, today His Majesty lowered his face and gave the steps, but he still didn't go down.

There is only one official wife, and she has been a monk for three years. Your Majesty is suffering.

General Dou over there continued: "Your Majesty, Gu Chongming may not be able to come at this time."

"Why?"

"This……"

Xiao Yuheng smiled, "In front of me, you can speak as much as you want."

Si You lowered his eyes, his expression was serious, and he began to calculate in his heart.

Shaoqing, who was behind General Dou, stepped forward and saluted very solemnly, "Your Majesty, Gu Chongming is seconded from the Ministry of Rites. He is high-spirited. He comes at night and leaves early every day to idle around, as if he was shopping in a vegetable market. Ignore Sir Siqing and us, he is probably still sleeping at home at this time."

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yuheng looked at General Dou inquiringly, and Si You followed suit.

General Dou bowed deeply, "It's inevitable that Mr. Gu doesn't know the rules when he first takes office. Because he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, I didn't give much advice. I also have mistakes."

Xiao Yuheng pondered for a moment, but he didn't make a decision after all. He drank tea for a while and continued to inspect.

In the third entrance courtyard of Taichang Temple, the gate of Zhihui Pavilion in the southwest corner is locked, but there are noises inside.Xiao Yuheng felt it was strange, so he ordered someone to unlock the lock, and when he stepped in, he saw that the empty desks were neatly distributed on both sides of the room, only the deepest desk was covered with the Four Treasures of the Study. In the cyan official uniform, he stepped forward and knelt down.

For a while, everyone in Taichang Temple was extremely embarrassed.

"You are……"

"Gu Chongming, my minister of rites."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuheng asked in surprise, "You are Gu Chongming? Look up."

Gu Chongming raised his head obediently, his tired eyes were gentle and calm, and the two small dragon horn bangs hanging upside down on his forehead were slightly curled up under the official hat.

Si You raised the corners of his mouth, secretly thinking that it was interesting.

"Why are you here? Why is the outer room locked?" Xiao Yuheng asked.

Gu Chongming said: "I was seconded to Taichang Temple for ten days, and was ordered to transcribe the history of Wen Guoguo. All the adults in Taichang Temple cared for me, and I was afraid that I would be tired, and I was afraid that I would not rest well and make a mistake. I asked Wei Chen to copy only two hours a day, coming late and leaving early. But Wei Chen thought it was inappropriate to lick his salary, and he was confident that he would not make mistakes, so he kept everyone from copying more. Sitting in a corner, people outside didn't pay attention, so it was locked in a daze. Weichen searched here all night, thinking that he could go out this morning, but it happened that the king came up, and everyone was busy, so he forgot about this place again. "

The tone was neither arrogant nor humble, and there was a third of grievance in the calmness.

Si You couldn't help laughing, Gu Chongming was startled by the familiar voice and breath, he quickly raised his eyelids, and saw Si You looking at him with a smile on his face.He quickly lowered his eyes again, a blush flew across his cheeks.

Si You smiled even more happily.

General Dou glanced sideways at Si You, his expression very ugly.

Xiao Yuheng didn't point it out, but just glanced at General Dou, who was as wilted as an old book, and then ordered Gu Chongming to get up, and went forward to look at the manuscript paper on his case.

"The handwriting is good." Xiao Yuheng stretched out his slender fingers from the wide sleeves of his Chinese clothes, and flicked the handwriting on the paper, "The late emperor entrusted me with the important task of compiling the history of the country, but it was a pity that I only completed half of it, so I gave it to you. His Majesty ordered him to defend the northern border. In the remaining half, I only wrote a few biographies. Now that I have finished reading the book, I am very moved."

Gu Chongming bowed his head and said: "I wrote the "Biography of General Lu" last night. I only felt that the diction was simple but the connotation was amazing. It seemed easy but the writing was profound. It must be the master's handwriting."

Xiao Yuheng smiled gratifiedly, "The "Biography of General Lu" is indeed different from my usual style of writing, and it is indeed quite satisfactory to me. Listening to your words, I should be cited as a bosom friend."

"Your Majesty's praise is false, but my humble minister is ashamed and dare not take it."

Gu Chongming smiled and bowed again.

General Dou's expression became even uglier.

The smile on Si You's lips deepened.

Suddenly, the former eunuch bumped in again, prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has said that if I can't see you, let alone drinking elixir, I won't even eat a real elixir! Long Yan is furious at this moment, Your Majesty must take care of you!"

Xiao Yuheng's face immediately turned cold, and he sighed after lowering his eyes for a moment, "Forget it, let Ben-jun arrange this place for a while, and then go back to the palace."

The eunuch almost wept with joy, "Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

When the emperor left with a guard of honor, Si You was ordered to patrol on his behalf.

Half an hour later, after the inspection of Taichang Temple was over, Si You stood at the gate of the yamen, looked at General Dou who came alone to see him off, and said, "Long time no see, do you have time to have dinner later?"

General Dou's face was still disheveled, and he looked at Si You with stagnant eyes, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Si You was taken aback for a moment and smiled again, "That's right."

This smile is comparable to the warm sun in winter and the cool breeze in summer. The color on General Dou's face faded slightly, and he tried hard to squeeze out a smile that seemed to be drawn, "Okay. You just came back, and I'll be the host. Chengnan Qu Put the riverside pavilion by the water, see you when you are here."

"Okay, it's a deal, see you or leave." Si You cupped his fists, turned and left gracefully.

General Dou stood at the gate of the yamen and stared blankly at the handsome figure for a while, then moved back into the yamen gloomily. He was obviously a young man in his early twenties, but he was as depressed as an old man.

He walked through the corridor without noticing that Gu Chongming was hiding behind the thickest pillar, staring at the place where he and Si You were standing just now, as if he was facing an enemy.

Long time no see, make dinner appointment, see you soon...

There must be rape/love!

Gu Chongming clenched his fists tightly, and Xiaolongjiao's bangs trembled angrily under the pressure of the official hat.

He wants to follow!

It's best to know yourself and the enemy, at worst you have to mess with them!
