=====

Fu Yuanqing was appointed by the emperor but as a servant of the Pu family, he threw the filial basin three times in front of the mourning hall and lost the royal face.

The emperor didn't like it and kicked him out.

Fu Yuanqing has lost his holy favor, and now he is like a bereaved dog, hiding in his private house, in constant fear.

"En." Fu Yuanqing took a sip of the tea in his cup, absently flipping through the book in his hand.

Now he is sitting in the yamen of the Prison Supervisor, listening to Yang Lingxue tell him the recent rumors about the court, while looking at the gate of the yamen, which is not too far from the Neishutang. come over.

"Yeah." Yang Lingxue threw the tea on the table and asked dissatisfied, "What did I say, can you repeat it?"

Fu Yuanqing came back to his senses, looked at Yang Lingxue's eyes, coughed a little guilty, and only found a few words from the wind in his ears just now.

"The rumors are not false." Fu Yuanqing said, "I displeased His Majesty. When I left the palace, Your Majesty said that he didn't want to see me recently. In fact, it's a leisurely way..."

Yang Lingxue hated to hear Chenggang: "You don't know what Liu Jiu looks like! With his intentions, he even pulled many officials into a court battle outside the Meridian Gate. A slave is really bullying the minister."

Fu Yuanqing took another sip of his wine and smiled: "In recent days, I always bring Chen Jing into the palace in the morning, and I come to sit in the court of ceremonies and deal with some chores in the palace. Chen Jing goes to the inner library to study. Later After a while, we left the palace together. I have been in the cage for a long time, and it is rare to have such an opportunity, so I feel nourished."

"...How can you sit still?"

"I'd like to ask the chief governor, if he always hangs out in the eunuch's office when he has nothing to do, he is not afraid of spreading bad news."

Yang Lingxue smiled complacently: "The governor is a celebrity in front of your majesty. You should be in full bloom when you come to your ceremonial office, but you still look disgusted. After drinking tea for a long time, there is no dessert . Is it too negligent?"

He looked like a rascal, and Fu Yuanqing couldn't do anything about him, so he said to Ji Ru who was waiting outside: "Go to the dining room at the back and bring two tea cakes to the governor."

Ji Ru's facial injury after being bullied before has basically healed. He is a handsome young man, and when he heard Fu Yuanqing's order, he answered yes.

Fu Yuanqing was a little worried again, and told him carefully: "Remember, it's only two yuan."

"Understood, old ancestor."

"The supervisor of ceremonies treats me with such stinginess!" Yang Lingxue complained.

Fu Yuanqing smiled: "Tell me, what are you doing today?"

"Last time you asked me to check that Hanlin editor Su Yuqing, I checked."

"Oh? What's the situation?"

"It's said that when the Inner Academy was selecting lecturers, the Hanlin Academy refused to send out any lecturers. You must have known that. So they put in hard work and recruited a lot of strong men. For example, to write about Lu Xuezhen, Master Lu? Yes, there are a dozen or so Hanlin officials who are not happy either."

"I know this. But there is such an item in the assessment of the official Jingcha [Note 1] of the Imperial Academy, even if you don't want to, you have to come."

"This Su Yuqing is different. He signed up voluntarily." Yang Lingxue said.

"Oh? Volunteering to give lectures in the inner school is to solve the difficulties of the Imperial Academy, and not to offend the superiors. After so many years as an editor, right?" Fu Yuanqing said.

"The place where he offended his superiors was that he reprimanded Lu Xuezhen and others for being perfunctory in class and taking advantage of troubled waters. He also participated in Lu Xuezhen's performance at the Hanlin Rao Bachelor's Office. This is a taboo." Yang Lingxue said, "Being scolded by Lu Xuezhen and others as Flattery and flattery to those who are powerful and powerful are full-fledged prostitutes and eunuchs."

"...It turns out that Master Su has somehow become my party member." Fu Yuanqing was stunned.

Ji Ru brought two pieces of tea cake and put them in a small enamel dish. The tea cake was no bigger than a copper coin, two small pieces, and brought it to Yang Lingxue.

Yang Lingxue glanced at it and said angrily: "I said Fu's palm print, and now it's not just Su Yuqing. Even the governor is scolded as an eunuch because he opened the way for you in front of Pu's mansion. Rumor has it that following your Fu's palm print is enough Covering the sky with one hand with high eyebrows, gobbling up fields and land and raking in money. In the end, you gave me two pieces of tea cake?"

"The governor was wrong." Fu Yuanqing took out a piece of tea cake from the plate and put it in his mouth, "It's not two pieces, it's one piece."

"Please use it as a superintendent." The ancestor said politely.

Yang Lingxue was dumbfounded, and for a long while threw that small piece of pastry into her mouth, chewing and chewing without making a sound.

Cao Ban'an came in from outside the door, greeted Yang Lingxue, and then said to Fu Yuanqing: "Mr. Liu has a brochure that has been approved by His Majesty today, and it is being sent to seal. He is waiting outside the yamen."

"Yo, Old Dog Liu is here in person." Yang Lingxue raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "Are you here to show off your might?"

Cao Ban'an smiled politely: "This little one doesn't know."

Yang Lingxue stood up, patted the scum left on the skirt exaggeratedly, and said, "Come on, it's not convenient for me as a soldier to participate in the internal supervision and government affairs, so I'm leaving here. I'll come to discuss tea another day. Banan, do you remember?" Prepare some Longjing for me."

"Okay, I'll take note of it, little one."

Yang Lingxue left with his hands behind his back. Fu Yuanqing looked at the half-cup of Mao Feng left on the table, couldn't help but shook his head, and then said to Cao Ban'an: "Our Mao Feng is from last year. We will get it from Shangshan Supervisor tomorrow. Let's get some new Yunwu tea. After all, he comes from a noble family, so we can't wrong him too much."

Cao Ban'an smiled and said: "The old ancestor still feels sorry for the governor, knowing that he has a tricky mouth."

"Well, let Liu Jiu come in." Fu Yuanqing said.

After a while, Liu Jiu was carried by a dozen eunuchs and eunuchs into the office of the Prison Supervisor. Supervisor of rituals.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Liu Jiu's face is also radiant. He glanced at Fu Yuanqing and didn't salute when he came in. He walked to the opposite chair, and the little eunuch brought a cushion for him and spread it for him. sit on.

He saw Ji Ru serving tea.

Liu Jiu laughed and said, "Yo, the Supervisor of Rituals likes to pick up junk, and the things that the Imperial Horse Supervisor doesn't want have also been picked up."

Ji Ru was young, her eyes were red, trembling, she didn't know what to say.

"Ji Ru, go down." Fu Yuanqing said.

Ji Ru replied yes, and quickly backed away.

With a half-smile, Liu Jiu covered her fingertips with a handkerchief, picked up the tea bowl holder, and glanced at the tea leaves: "What kind of tea is this, old tea from last year? Our family can't drink it. Cheng Chuang, put Send two catties of our favorite Wuyi tea to our ancestors."

"Yes, the factory owner. The little one knows." Cheng Chuang smiled, "We can't let the supervisor drink as badly as the teahouse outside, isn't it?"

Fu Yuanqing didn't bother with him, and asked: "Can you send me the memorial that needs to be sealed today."

"Of course it was delivered." Liu Jiu greeted, and the eunuch below entered inside carrying a yellow bundle with a yellow strip on his back, and opened it in front of Fu Yuanqing, "The old ancestor told us to obey the rules, and our family also obeys the rules. "

Cheng Chuang took out the memorials from the box, each book was marked with red marks, and there were bills to check, and handed it to Cao Ban'an, who carefully placed it on the case table, and took the sixteen precious seals from the inside The emperor's treasure in the book came out.

After everything was done, Fu Yuanqing stayed at the bed and walked to the side of the case, opened the memorials and read them carefully, and then covered them with the emperor's treasure.

Liu Jiu was also anxious, drinking tea while looking at Fu Yuanqing, although the emperor hadn't been in charge of the government for more than a month, but just having the power to discuss matters in the court was already supreme authority.

Although he was rewarded and scorned ten times a few days ago, it was just a small punishment, but the emperor still took care of him.

He faintly felt that he had already been favored and wanted to trample Fu Yuanqing under his feet.

Liu Jiu's thoughts drifted away, and his eyes drifted to the big seal of the supervisor of ceremonies on the case table.In a trance, it seemed as if he was already sitting in the prison of ceremonies, listening to everyone calling his ancestors.

"Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu?" Cao Ban'an called him.

Liu Jiu regained consciousness and found that everyone was looking at him, and coughed: "What's wrong?"

"The ancestors are asking questions."

Liu Jiu looked at Fu Yuanqing. Fu Yuanqing was spreading out the dark red leather memorandum in his hand, and asked, "This memorandum has been approved to be played on the red day. May I ask whether Liu Changgong has submitted it to His Majesty for detailed reading?"

"what?"

"This memorandum was drafted by Yu Gelao, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Jianyi, the minister of rites, and more than sixty civil and military officials jointly signed the letter. "Emblem Instrument" wants to increase the emblem for the Queen Mother [Note 2]. From the original "Xiao Xian Gong An Empress Dowager" to "Xiao Xian Ci Shou Gong Jian Anyi Zhang Qing Empress Dowager."

Liu Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

He wanted to save trouble, and wanted to please the cabinet, so he asked Cheng Chuang to approve all the memos that the cabinet voted for, such as approved and expedited.Now let Fu Yuanqing catch him.

"The Empress Dowager is about to celebrate her [-]th birthday. Adding an emblem is also a matter of etiquette. Naturally, it must be played." Liu Jiu insisted.

"So His Majesty did not take a look at it."

Liu Jiu felt a little guilty: "Is there any problem? These memorials are nothing important to the military and the country. The master is busy, so he doesn't have to do everything himself."

Fu Yuanqing slowly closed the memorial and said: "I have sealed the rest. The memorial with the empress dowager's emblem will not be published."

Liu Jiu was taken aback, and became angry: "Fu Yuanqing, the cabinet vote drafted, our family approved it, and copied the memorials of the Sixth Section Gallery. Why do you stay in the middle school!"

Fu Yuanqing didn't talk to him too much, he put the memoir into the Minghuang brocade bag, fastened the belt again, and said to Cao Ban'an: "Your Majesty doesn't want to see me recently, you go to Da Nei quickly, enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and send it to His Majesty for reading .”

"Yes." Cao Ban'an said, "What about the old ancestor?"

"You time is almost here, I will go to Neishutang to pick up Chen Jing, and then I will leave the palace."

"You scheming villain, first lie to our family, and then leave a memorial that His Majesty has never seen. Do you want to sue?!" Liu Jiu cursed behind him.

Fu Yuanqing had already walked to the door, Ji Ru brought over a cloak, he put it on his shoulders, and said to Cao Ban'an: "Tell the Secretary of the Sixth Section Gallery that the copy of this memorial should not be circulated to the officials, let alone sent down to the previous court. official."

"Understood, the ancestors don't worry, I will let someone pass the message on the way."

Fu Yuanqing walked to the door and prepared the stool. He thought for a while and said to Cao Ban'an, "Go and sit on the stool. Hurry up. It's not a small matter."

"Yes." Cao Ban'an didn't refuse, and went away.

"Cao Ban'an, stop!" Liu Jiu scolded angrily, and seeing that he couldn't stop him, he scolded Fu Yuanqing again, "Fu Yuanqing, do you believe that our family asked His Majesty to call you an officer and make you Ling Chi?!"

Fu Yuanqing looked back at him and sighed: "Mr. Liu, Cao Bingbi is saving you."

"Save me?" Liu Jiu laughed angrily, "Fu Yuanqing, can you talk wisely? You keep the memorial that our family criticized and returned to the palace, and you tell our family that you are saving me?!"

"Half a month ago, Your Majesty personally chose the candidate for the Empress, instead of the woman from the Quan family proposed by the Empress Dowager and Elder Yu Ge. Half a month later, the Elder Ge wrote a letter to the courtiers to add an emblem for the Empress Dowager's birthday. At this time It seems simple, but Mr. Yu Ge mentioned it at this time, but he wanted to express his dissatisfaction with His Majesty's arbitrariness in the matter of post-election. Mr. Liu Changgong is the leader of the three dynasties, have you ever thought about the meaning of this?" Fu Yuanqing asked him .

Liu Jiu was taken aback.

"If you approve the red seal at this time without His Majesty's consent, and copy it to the Six Section Gallery, the whole court will know. Liu Changgong..." Fu Yuanqing said to him, "Waiting for you, it is not a contempt. "【Note 3】

[Note 1] The KPI indicators of officials in the DPRK are tested every three years.

The honor titles are like Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and the emblems are longer and more cumbersome.But both are available while alive.After death, it is called posthumous title.I don't know this stuff at all, I basically copied Empress Xiaozhuang's title and emblem.
