After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 55

Being an officer is no good.

On the third day, Xie Tangru, who entered the palace before dawn, stood beside the emperor like a weed, thinking so.

The prime minister was yawning when he was reporting important matters to the court.

When Doctor Yu Shi was admonishing the emperor to restrain himself, Xie Tangru was also yawning.

When the Minister of Rites participated in the appointment of the newly appointed Hanlin University scholar who was dissolute, disrespectful, and unworthy to be an official in the same dynasty as him, Xie Tangru... just finished a yawn, and after a long time in his chaotic mind, he realized that the Ministry of Rites It was he himself who Shangshu criticized so impassionedly.

Xie Shizi blinked innocently, pointed to himself, and looked at Shang Qingyao blankly.

Shang Qingyao was smiling and looking at him.

Seeing this, Xie Tang stood back as if nothing had happened, and didn't even give Minister of Rites a look.

Usually this old man is not so upright, but because Xie Tangru played tricks on his father and son, this old man just took the opportunity to get revenge, talking about trivial matters as if the court was about to end.

Gee.

Xie Tangru felt amused.That is to say, Shang Qingyao has a good temper. If he had been replaced by the tyrannical and impermanent Emperor, he would have dragged out and beheaded this guy who was so close to pointing his nose at the emperor.

To be an emperor, you are probably happy to be a faint king.

If you want to be a wise king, you can't just kill your courtiers casually.

The good-natured emperor Shang Qingyao's calm face was hidden behind the twelve o'clock, and his shadow was indistinct.After listening to the fierce speech of the Ministry of Rites, he looked down on the courtiers and officials without distinguishing between happiness and anger.

Except for the Minister of Rites who was standing beside the officials, the other courtiers all lowered their heads in unison, holding their breath and concentrating.

Every one of them made Xie Tang think of shy quails.

However, the courtiers felt that they could not be blamed for this. Today is different from the past, and the new emperor is not someone who can be fooled by flattery.On the contrary, seeing that the new emperor has a better temper than the previous emperor, the new emperor is actually more authoritarian and will not allow his courtiers to comment.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites has not yet recognized the situation clearly, relying on his own seniority, it is fine to judge Xie Shizi. After all, Xie Tangru has long been used to being scolded every day, so he can't care about it. Proper words.

Isn't this looking for death?

Some courtiers are already thinking about whether to help the wife and children of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites at that time.

After a long time, the high-ranking emperor spoke in an unclear voice: "Is the minister of the Ministry of Rites accusing me of being unworthy of being an emperor?"

A word that is neither serious nor serious, but it caused the Minister of the Ministry of Rites to soften his knees in an instant, and fell to his knees with a "plop": "I have no such intention!"

The Minister of Rites explained incongruently: "Your Majesty is a sage king, how dare I have such disrespectful thoughts, I just think Xie Shizi... Xie Shizi is frivolous and frivolous, and doesn't understand etiquette..."

Song Xuan stood in the queue of hundreds of officials, and couldn't help rubbing his forehead when he heard this.

It's better not to explain.

The smile on Xie Tangru's lips curved even deeper. At this moment, he still didn't forget to drag him into the water. It seemed that Chen Shangshu really minded that he did something like the little bastard's father of the Chen family.

As for Chen Shangshu's words, Xie Tangru was not worried at all.

——Anyway, Shang Qingyao will protect him.

For some reason, Xie Tangru had such an idea inexplicably.

He shook his head lightly, reminding himself not to be too presumptuous. He looked at the Minister of Rites who was kneeling with snot and tears, and said, "Chen Shangshu, although I didn't have a good reputation in the past, Chen Shangshu can't use it all the time." Look at me with the prejudiced eyes of the past. The ancients said that knowing the mistakes can make things better, and now that I have repaired my mistakes, Chen Shangshu can't just slander me, right?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, with a heartbroken and regretful look on his face.

Chen Shangshu's heart ached much more than his, but he opened his mouth, looking at the pretending Xie Tangru, the eloquence he had prepared suddenly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't hold back half a syllable.

It's really insulting and deceiving too much!

"Okay." Afraid to continue, Xie Tangru pissed the Minister of Rites to death in the court, Shang Qingyao stopped in time, "As a minister, the Minister of Rites should be a role model for all officials, but he criticizes his colleagues without investigation. It is really your fault. I will punish you to contemplate behind closed doors for a month."

He calmed down the incident lightly, and the Minister of Rites smiled wryly, but he could only accept the order to thank him.

This punishment doesn't sound serious, but the situation in the officialdom is changing rapidly. After thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, if his subordinates are capable, so much time is enough to make him stand up.

It is true that he slipped his words out of complacency today, Minister of Rites thought to himself, although His Majesty seems to be upholding justice for Xie Tangru, but in fact he is taking the opportunity to beat himself, reminding him that there are some things he should not say.

Which emperor can bear the offense of his courtiers?

The Minister of Rites, who thought he had understood the true meaning of the emperor, was much smoother in one breath.

.........

After the court meeting ended, Xie Tangru was left alone.

The waiter brought him this year's pre-rain tea, and Xie Tangru drank a couple of sips, and immediately felt refreshed and refreshed - no one else, it was entirely because the tea was too hot, so hot that Xie Tangru's drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

"Change me a cup of herbal tea." Xie Shizi's facial features were wrinkled, and the words fell, and the hot white porcelain teacup was taken away from his palm, and a cup of cold tea was replaced.Xie Tangru picked it up and took a sip before turning to look at the person to thank him.

At this sight, even the person holding the cup froze.

It was not some little eunuch who condescended to serve him tea and water, but His Majesty the Emperor who would kill a bunch of people for every nail bitch.

Xie Tangru felt that the tea in his hand was not so cold anymore.

On the contrary, his heart was very cold.

Shang Qingyao had a shallow smile between his brows and eyes. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of cold tea. After a while, he looked at Xie Tangru and went to take the cup in his hand: "Do you want more?"

"No, thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Tangru had already woken up after taking a sip of tea, there was no need to drink more.

Shang Qingyao nodded lightly, and sat down opposite him: "You have been in a bad mood for the past few days."

As soon as he mentioned this, Xie Shizi couldn't help but pull his face down: "Anyone who has to get up in the middle of the night will not be in good spirits when entering the palace."

Shang Qingyao chuckled lightly.

"Your Majesty lives in the palace, so he doesn't understand the suffering of people like us who have to take half an hour in a carriage every day to get to the gate of the palace." Xie Tangru glanced at him dissatisfied.

Going to court is not an easy task.

Get up early to wash your hair, spend a lot of time putting on the complicated court clothes, half an hour is removed on the way, and you have to queue up before entering the palace to be checked by the servants for any illegal objects, and no sharp things can be brought into the palace .

If you come and go again and again, you can't get up in the middle of the night.

If things go on like this, no wonder the spirit is not good.

Shang Qingyao pondered for a while: "Wei Guogong's mansion is indeed far away from the palace."

Wei Guogong's mansion was bestowed by the first emperor. It was the private mansion of the first emperor when he was the prince. It is quite large and the environment is good, but the location is slightly worse. It takes a long way to get to the main street of Yuejing.

Xie Tangru propped his chin and lazily complained to him: "What's the use of His Majesty saying that, can you still build me a mansion outside the palace wall?"

"It will take a year and a half to start construction now." Shang Qingyao looked at him with a smile, "If you think Wei Guogong's mansion is far away from the court hall, why not live in the palace for a while - there is no closer than this At that time, slowly look for a mansion close to the court hall, and you can always pick out one or two that suit your heart."

"Inside the palace?" Xie Tangru's heart moved slightly, and she asked half jokingly, "But in the palace, apart from the concubine, it is His Majesty's residence. Could it be that His Majesty can give me his own bed?"

Shang Qingyao tapped his head with his fingers, but Xie Tangru didn't avoid it for a moment.

"I think it's better to tell you to sleep in the court hall, and you can go to court when you wake up, saving everything."

Xie Tangru blinked innocently: "I'm not joking, His Majesty wants to keep me in the palace, you must find a place for me to live in?"

It was clear that he thought Wei Guogong's mansion was far away and wanted to find a place close to Shang Dynasty. After he said it, it seemed that he wanted to keep him here.Shang Qingyao was helpless and funny: "Just ask someone to add a soft couch, it won't make you nowhere to sleep."

Xie Tangru muttered: "It's better for His Majesty to divide the bed into half for me to save trouble."

"If you want, you can do it." Shang Qingyao replied lightly.

Now Shizi Xie froze.
