Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

Ye Huaiyun sat in front of the bronze mirror in the study of the General's Mansion, and Chu Tingyun poured the liquid medicine on the cloth towel, and gently wiped his face away.

"Go to the west of the city to find out, who is that dandy who forcibly occupied a private house in the west of the city and dared to beat the private school teacher?" Ye Huaiyun said: "Also, since the private school has been demolished, find another place to build another."

When the test is officially implemented in the future, he can't let Chang Xinwang's people take the opportunity, and he should learn to win people's hearts and cultivate his own influence.

And the age of sixteen or seventeen is the best time to cultivate.

Whether it's loyalty or dealing with things, just like that Han Jiu just now.Although his brain turns a bit slower, he is indeed a malleable talent.

Ye Huaiyun splashed a handful of warm water on his face, his fair skin reflected in the thin winter sun, "I'm going back to the palace first."

"Wait a minute." Chu Tingyun took his hand and turned around, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on his lips.It seems that every time we part, even if it's only for half a quarter of an hour, such an affectionate ceremony is needed to add peace of mind.

"Accompany me to Yushitai in two days." Ye Huaiyun said before entering the secret passage: "The Taichang Cheng who was imprisoned last time should be used."

After Chu Tingyun talked a lot in the prime minister's mansion that day, although he didn't know whether that treacherous and cunning prime minister Yao really believed it.But in the end, this test was barely passed in the court.

On Ye Huaiyun's table was spread the "Anecdote of the Former Dynasty" left by Chu Tingyun last time, in the gap between clouds, rain and spring, he found that point that would be beneficial to the test.

In the end, after drafting a paper of regulations, his cheeks were already scorched.

Ye Huaiyun subconsciously wanted to pick up the teacup and drink two sips of water, but when he picked it up, he realized that the tea in the cup had bottomed out at some point.

"Xie Lan." Ye Huaiyun wanted to call someone to watch tea, and extinguished the burning charcoal fire by the way.

But he leaned on the back of the chair and waited for a while, but no one came in from the hall.Ye Huaiyun thought that the waiters outside hadn't heard, and was about to shout again, when suddenly a pair of hands rested on his shoulders.

"Why do you still want to call Xie Lan at this time?"

Joking words came close to his ears, and the blush on Ye Huaiyun's cheeks spread to his ears along with his warm breath.No need to think about it, this person came from the secret passage and had already stood behind him for a while.

"Tsk, why is your face so hot?" Chu Tingyun deliberately pretended not to see the book on his desk, and then asked with great interest, "Could it be that you secretly read some...unserious things behind my back?"

"..." Ye Huaiyun took away his hand that was wandering around in front of his collar, and took a deep breath, "Why are you here?"

"I miss you, can't I?" Chu Tingyun walked around to him with a smile, and extinguished the fire in the hall.

Ye Huaiyun automatically ignored his intimate words and glanced at the sky outside the window.This point is that when Chu Tingyun was taking a lazy lunch in winter, he suddenly ran to find himself, presumably there was something important.He said lightly: "It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor."

Chu Tingyun shrugged his shoulders and smiled, teasing him too, so he became serious, "Last time you said you were going to Yushitai, it's almost time."

Ye Huaiyun's eyes lit up immediately, "Then let's go."

Hearing the summons again, Xie Lan walked in with freshly brewed tea.When he saw that Chu Tingyun was also there, he consciously waited for his senior brother to change his appearance into his own appearance, followed His Majesty out of the Tai Chi Hall, and hid in the secret passage.

Anyway, he is just a tool man, he just needs to be the shadow of His Majesty and Senior Brother.

In Yushitaizhao Prison, Taichang Cheng Wu Kun, who had been imprisoned for more than two months, was slumped in a corner, his cheeks sunken under his cheekbones, obviously he had lived a terrible life.

At this moment, when he noticed Ye Huaiyun approaching in a bright yellow dragon robe, he just made a humble salute without any strength.

Ye Huaiyun looked around the cold and damp cell, and there was really no place to sit, so he could only stand and talk to him: "Wu Kun, in the first three years, Xiaolian was appointed as an official in Southwest County. , moved to Taichang Cheng."

"I just can't figure it out." Ye Huaiyun looked at the person kneeling at his feet, "Master Wu understands the principle of filial piety, but why doesn't he know the principle of loyalty?"

Wu Kun pursed his lips in shame, "Chen..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation." Ye Huaiyun interrupted him, "I came today to tell you that within a few days, I will let you out."

"However, many of Changxin Wang's party members have been cut off, so you have no choice."

"Your Majesty...you are harming my minister!" Wu Kun paused before finishing his sentence.

He understood Ye Huaiyun's meaning almost instantly.The partisans who concealed their identities were suddenly convicted and removed, but he, the person who committed the capital crime, was suddenly released.Anyone would suspect that he leaked the list of those officials as a life-saving talisman to absolve himself of guilt.

Even if he is still willing to serve King Chang Xin, that master will not trust him anymore.

"How could it be harm?" Ye Huaiyun smiled disapprovingly.

Chu Tingyun, who was standing behind him, raised his hand and asked someone to bring the things up.

An old woman with a hunched back was led into the cell by several guards. When Wu Kun saw the old woman, he was stunned, his lips were trembling for a long time before he yelled out a word, "Mother—"

The old woman was too old to see. When she heard Wu Kun's voice, she immediately pushed away the guard who was supporting her, and ran forward staggeringly.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun stood aside, until the two mother and son had finished their affectionate reminiscences, and then someone took the old woman down again, and said: "Master Wu worked for King Chang Xin because the old mother fell into the hands of thieves. hand, is deeply threatened; and now that your mother is in my hands, shouldn't Mr. Wu have someone else to show his loyalty?"

How could Wu Kun fail to understand that his mother was rescued from King Chang Xin by Ye Huaiyun, and he kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

"I don't need you to go through fire and water." Ye Huaiyun said: "I want you to be in charge of all the exams, and then pass the exam questions to Prime Minister Yao, luring him to sell his position."

Walking out of Yushitai, the cold winter wind blows head-on, carrying a few wisps of the cold fragrance of plum blossoms.

Ye Huaiyun confidently broke off a red plum that was just blooming in the imperial garden, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly.

It's probably not the best season yet, so the dark fragrance has faded a bit after all.Ye Huaiyun shook off the flower branches and sighed: "It will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days. I want to finish everything before the festival. Tingyun, do you think I am too impatient?"

"No." Chu Tingyun hugged his waist from behind.

Here is a plum grove, which was originally planted by an ancestor to smile at Concubine Bo Ai.

But now Ye Huaiyun's harem was empty, and naturally no one came in the Mei Lin, so he put his palm on the back of Chu Tingyun's hand, and then leaned his whole body into Chu Tingyun's arms relaxedly.

"Make every effort to govern, and use talents to make use of them." Chu Tingyun said seriously: "Huaiyun, you will be a good emperor, but..."

Half of what he said stopped abruptly, making Ye Huaiyun couldn't help asking: "Just what?"

Chu Tingyun smiled, "It's just that there is still a queen who is by your side."

Ye Huaiyun: "..." Is this a self-recommendation?

Ye Huaiyun turned around and faced him, remembering the empress this person said, so she picked two more red plums, put them in his hair as a joke, and said: "The empress is in the harem, and the general is in the front court. You can think about it, you can only choose one of the two.”

Chu Tingyun said, "Children only make choices, adults must."

"Not enough greed." Ye Huaiyun commented on him teasingly.

"That's not the only thing I'm greedy about." Snowflakes fell on Chu Tingyun's long, crow-colored eyelashes, and the light sunlight cast fine shadows on his eyelids.With a slight blink and a slight tremor, it is the unique grace and grace in the world.

He laughed, the vermilion at the end of his eyes actually overshadowed the red plums in the snow, "I still want to... sleep on the dragon bed every day."

I don't know who leaned over first, within a short distance, and could hear his breath, Ye Huaiyun gave a soft "hmm" in his hot and lingering kiss.It seemed that even the winter snow on his side had stopped, and the biting cold wind was still in mid-air, no longer piercing.

The days in the twelfth lunar month of winter always feel long.As if dripping water turns into ice, the ticking of a clepsydra freezes.

Taichang Cheng Wu Kun gave Prime Minister Yao the exam questions, and Chu Tingyun lured Prime Minister Yao to sell the exam questions to his students.It wasn't until Jusheng entered Taichang Temple and saw that the test questions on the table were completely different from those given by Prime Minister Yao that he finally noticed something was wrong.

Those who are illiterate, or act recklessly, immediately ran to the prime minister's mansion in groups of three or four to ask for an explanation after the examination was over.

When this matter reached Ye Huaiyun's ears, he naturally ordered a thorough investigation.

Fortunately, the gang of Yushitai were still vigorous and resolute, and under Ye Huaiyun's explicit instructions, they investigated the prime minister's mansion to the bottom, listed out the crimes they had committed for many years, and read it to the Jinluan Hall.

Ye Huaiyun held a memorial that was more than ten pages long, and without hesitation, he ordered the prime minister to be dismissed from office and sent to prison, and asked to be executed after the festival.

All of this was settled before the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

When Chu Tingyun strode into the Tai Chi Hall, Ye Huaiyun was tired from reading the booklets, so he rested at the table with his forehead resting on one hand.

He walked over and closed the unclosed carved window tightly, and took the folder away from his hand, intending to carry him to the bed to sleep.

From the corner of the eye, Chu Tingyun caught a glimpse of the stamped letter on the booklet, and Chu Tingyun's eyes froze.

This is... Wang Chang Xin submitted it to Beijing?

Chu Tingyun flicked the booklet away with one hand, wanting to see what was written on it, but with his movement, the light sleeper in his arms woke up leisurely.

Ye Huaiyun patted him on the shoulder, motioned Chu Tingyun to put him down, saw what he held in his hand again, and said: "The vassal princes from all over the country were summoned to go to Beijing on the New Year's Day, but my elder brother said that he saw a peerless treasure on the road. I have been delayed for some time, and I will arrive a few days later."

Ye Huaiyun said coldly: "I pulled out [-]% of his minions in the capital. I knew it was to hunt for treasures for me. I didn't know that, I thought he Chang Xin Wang went to Beijing empty-handed, picking up random things on the way, deliberately embarrassing me. .”

Chu Tingyun thought for a while and proposed: "How about I go to the posthouse and beat him up? The pig's head with a bruised nose and a swollen face makes him more embarrassed?"

Ye Huaiyun was amused by his playful pig's head, "That's not necessary. But we really need to send someone to watch him secretly to see what kind of treasure it is."
