My historian is dying every day

Chapter 97 [Cotton tied with wire]

Qi Yu looked down at the document in his hand, and suddenly remembered something from his youth.

It’s not a big deal, but it’s just that there was a curfew when I was still studying at the Imperial College. King Kang and King Xian were [-] or [-] years old, and they took him, Qi Zheng, two and a half children, and a few family members out hunting and playing, and came back. It was too late, and the Imperial College had locked the key. If you couldn't get in, you would be discovered by the scholars during roll call the next morning.

This matter is not small, the emperor was very concerned about it before the prince was studying, and asked the bachelor to report the status of his study every day.It wouldn’t look good if they asked the scholars to report to the first emperor for their absenteeism, especially Kang Wang, who had been reported several times.The first emperor once said that there is no need to study for Kang Wang's study again, and he will go to Hangu Pass to guard for a lifetime.Don't mention that at that time he brought Qi Yu and Qi Zheng with him, and he had the fault of bringing his younger brother with him, so Kang Wang was getting anxious and almost wanted to go back to the palace to ask someone to break the door. Qi Yu and Qi Zheng had just reached the age where they could start messing around. I have never missed a class before, and I am quite worried at this time, but I have no idea.

Qi Yu remembered that at that time, a noble young man who was by King Kang's side walked out.The young man was about the same age as King Kang, he rarely spoke a word, and his appearance was sharp and sharp. At that time, his face was not smiling or worried as usual, but he was very solemn and desolate, like a counselor hanging from the side of the emperor, and said solemnly: "Kang If the prince is just afraid that he won’t be able to attend the roll call in the morning, why is he in a hurry to go to prison? If the bachelor can’t do the roll call, then it’s fine.”

With one word to wake up the dreamer, Kang Wang caught the driftwood like falling into the water, grabbed the young man's arm and laughed: "Xizhi! You really have a way!"

It turned out that the son with a serious expression was Wen Xizhi, the second son of the Wen family.

Although being ranked second in the world has always been a position that cannot be ranked high or low, this dogma does not matter if it falls on Wen Xizhi.

Above Wen Xi has an older brother, Wen Xuzhi. Wen Xuzhi is a military inspector in the border guards. At this time, he is returning from Shulang Kingdom with Zhao Li and his father Wen Jiuling. He is the youngest member of the Wen family, Wen Yanzhi, who is envious of his recent achievements in water control. Once he goes to court today, all the officials will definitely want to find a relationship to flatter him.

On the other hand, Wen Xizhi himself, since Qi Yu came to the throne two years ago, when he was the admiral of the Nine Mansions, he encountered a mistake in the miscalculation of taxes by his supervisors, and asked to be demoted to lead the border governors of Changzhou and Hezhou. He was silent and the sky was high and the emperor was far away. It seemed that he was compared with the limelight of the two brothers. However, in the silver and grain records of various places that Qi Yuneng saw in the imperial case, the yearly tribute taxes of Changzhou and Hezhou were the same. Every year is more prosperous than the next year. It shows that this person not only has the quick wits of his youth, but also has the great cultivation of governing the land and benevolent people.

In Qi Yu's memory, Wen Xizhi never made a mistake, never made any mistakes, and never won any prizes. Liu, always neither happy nor angry, neither humble nor arrogant, has always been able to do things with ease, in the ups and downs of the court for ten years, when things happen, he will retreat, if he can't retreat, he will go around, if he can't get around, if there is a conflict, Wen Xizhi will never be the one who loses .

It's like a piece of cotton tied with iron wires. It doesn't resist people if you don't climb it. It looks soft and waxy, but you only know its strength when you step into it.

Qi Yu calmly put down the documents and opened the booklet. In it, Yan Kai wrote the three most important matters neatly. The military administration, civilian farming, and official laws were clearly defined. He frowned and sighed when he saw it.

An arm was wrapped around his neck from behind, and it was Wen Yanzhi who got dressed and got up and walked over. While yawning, he raised his other hand and rubbed his eyes and asked, "It's so early in the morning, what are you sighing for?"

Qi Yu pulled his arm and laughed, and only put Wen Xizhi's invitation to the early court in the palm of his hand.

Wen Yanzhi took it over in a daze and took a look, then he woke up instantly after dozing off: "Brother [-] returned to Beijing?!"

Worried in his heart that he would blame others, Qi Yu was very relieved, and said with a click of his tongue: "Look at your promise."

Wen Yanzhi: "..."

Didn't you sigh just now.

——Wait... the second brother is back...?

Wen Yanzhi suddenly shuddered, grabbed the back of Qi Yu's dragon robe and yanked it violently: "No! Do you have a booklet for me to control the water here, show it to me quickly."

Qi Yu was stifled by this, and pointed to the velvet box of the mahogany bookcase beside him, and before he could say "murder your husband", he saw Wen Yan's wind blowing past him, and he couldn't help but wonder, "You idiot, what's wrong with you?" Ghostly."

Wen Yanzhi hurriedly looked for the brochure and said: "My second brother is more powerful than a ghost. In the past, he only stayed with the clan for five days every year. He didn't do anything else every day, so he asked me about my homework."

——I have been asked out of the shadow of my childhood!

Qi Yu laughed while opening the other two brochures: "Flood control can be homework? What is the relationship between the flood in Huainan and Hezhou in Changzhou? If you really ask, your second brother will never eat you."

Wen Yanzhi turned out the booklet and glanced at the ten lines. After hearing this, he took the time to glance at Qi Yu, and actually laughed dryly: "Let's go up and take a look."

Qi Yu shook his head and smiled, allowing him to toss about, just read the scriptures and fed the two pieces of pastry for breakfast into his mouth.Wen Yanzhi drank a few sips of tea indiscriminately, then packed up together with Qi Yu and walked towards the Zichen Hall. He even pinched a few important folders from Qi Yu's table and took them with him. One of the new subjects with a lot of pieces.

Qi Yu: "..."

As for what.

This idiot is so afraid of his brother, how is he being bullied at home?

In a flash, he thought of the incidents two years ago and four years ago. The shadows of Kang Wangxian Wang Wen's family Wen Xizhi passed by one after another, but he suddenly felt relieved.

After all, Wen Xizhi, just because he asked to be demoted, there is indeed a reason to be respected and feared.

When walking from Yanfu Palace to Zichen Palace, Wen Yanzhi resigned from Qi Yu and his party went straight to Wende Gate.After all, monarchs and ministers are still different, and there are many watching eyes in the court and palace, which is not as good as when you are out on a southern tour. There is no need to be bumped into this matter and cause unnecessary trouble.

Foreign officials who return to the court are different from those who are resident in the middle and upper courts of Beijing. They must wait outside the Zichen Hall for announcements. After the daily performances in the early court are over, they can be led by the Huangmen servant to the hall.

Wen Yanzhi has made great achievements in water control, and his father Wen Jiuling is about to come back from negotiations in the Shulang Kingdom to take over the political achievements. The Wen family is full of celebrities. At this time, he stopped holding a pile of papers and stood outside the Zichen Palace. Countless officials around him recognized him. , and quickly came back to flatter and flatter him, and envied him endlessly.

Wen Yanzhi is always perfunctory, firstly he doesn't know how to flatter and doesn't want to flatter, and secondly, he doesn't need to flatter because he has a rich family background, besides, all he can think of at this moment is to meditate on water control and softness, in order to deal with his second brother's questioning.However, Wen Yanzhi himself is not a whole body, the more he thinks about it, the more delicate he becomes, so much that he is about to go crazy.

——What to do, this will be asked, and that seems to be asked...

Just when he was exhausted, a cold and solemn voice came down from above his head.

"Member Wen, you are young and promising."

The voice was so familiar that Wen Yanzhi almost didn't catch it.He tightened his fingers and turned his head to look up, only to see that the person who made the sound was looking down at the folder in his hand with raised eyebrows, and there was a smile that seemed to have nothing on his indifferent face.

"Second brother!" Wen Yanzhi shook the altar, immediately moved the zhezi behind his back, stood up respectfully and lowered his head: "Second brother, when did you arrive in Beijing? I don't know."

"It's strange if you know." Wen Xizhi looked at him quietly with eyes like the sea, and the smile that seemed to have nothing on his face became deeper and deeper: "Last night, the young man reported my return to your house to your small courtyard. It's not there."

Wen Yanzhi: "...!" God, I forgot about this.

Wen Xizhi raised his hand and pulled out a booklet from behind his back to open it without looking at him, "Where did you sleep last night?"

"..." Wen Yanzhi held back the embarrassment on his face, and his mind turned sharply and sharply, and finally turned around: "I went back to the Ministry of Industry to hand in the paperwork, and I missed the time to leave the palace, so I stayed in the Ministry courtyard .” Well, I can really adapt.

Wen Xizhi looked down at the emperor's seal and ribbon on the folded booklet, so he calmly asked: "Has the emperor summoned you to report on your duties?"

Wen Yanzhi almost bit off his tongue: "Yes." It's more than just summoning...

Wen Xizhi raised his eyes slightly to glance at him, then lowered his eyes to look at the booklet: "Oh?... I haven't seen the paperwork handed over to the imperial case, and I can get it back."

"..." Wen Yanzhi gasped, he really wanted to miss it.In an instant, he wanted to cut off his hands and tongue - he shouldn't have brought out the booklet from Qi Yu's house!The second brother used to stay in Dali Temple, and his interrogation skills are very good. He should have thought that talking to the second brother would be filled with one hole after another, one lie after another, and eventually the truth would be revealed if he didn't notice.

——How many losses have I suffered since childhood, and why do I always repeat similar encounters.

— want to cry.

Wen Yanzhi was filled with grief, so he forced himself to calm down and said, "Second Brother... Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to take another look, saying that today's court... Still, ask me." Well, I'll go find Qi Yu later. Just offer it.

After hearing this, Wen Xizhi nodded, moved the tip of his nose slightly, and raised his hand to return the booklet to him.

Wen Yanzhi was apprehensive and fearful. Next, his back was almost drenched with sweat, but he didn't dare to take a breath, because he still felt that Wen Xizhi's gaze from above his head was as if it was in danger, and he hadn't moved away. End the interrogation.

In Wen Yanzhi's long suffering, Wen Xizhi raised his hand indifferently to smooth a wrinkle on the third grade ocher official robe, and really asked him in a calm tone: "The fragrance of the new leaves on your body, It’s really outstanding, and the Ministry of Industry is willing to burn this?” As he spoke, the corners of his lips twitched, and his eyes looked like mirrors: “Heh, it seems that the Six Departments have been quite extravagant recently, and the treatment of Beijing officials is really good.”

"..."

Wen Yanzhi felt that he was about to suffocate, and he couldn't even take a deep breath at this moment.

The fragrance of Hengwu New Leaf is a royal tribute, and the reward that fell to their clan is not the first-class item. The son of Xiaoshi's family can smell the difference as soon as he is infected, but there are two people standing here, he and his second brother. Of course, he, Wen Yan, is not the only son of a family.

His second brother also had ten years more food than him.

With a shiver on his back, he struggled tremblingly and said: "I finished my job report last night, and the emperor rewarded me. I went back to the courtyard and had nothing to do, so I made some new ones myself." Here's another confession!

"Oh." Wen Xizhi nodded knowingly, and the corners of his eyes curled up coolly: "No wonder, it seems that you are not in good spirits. It takes a lot of time to burn the incense, let's say at least two hours."

...Wen Yanzhi was about to cry.

What else can he say at this time?Whatever you say is like digging a hole for yourself.He wondered why Qi Yu didn't go to court, he was really about to reveal his secrets, about to collapse, about to faint.

Just when he was about to rush into the main hall to ask Qi Yu why he didn't go to court, the bell in the Zichen Hall was struck, and all the officials stopped talking. Knock like spring beads to the ground.Wen Xizhi took two steps back indifferently, reminding Wen Yanzhi that it was morning, and knelt down behind Wen Yanzhi.

Wen Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Wen Xizhi, who had just knelt down and was kneeling behind him, stared at his back and said another word.

It came from the spine, making him feel gloomy.

"Youngest, there are mosquitoes in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering."

Wen Yanzhi turned his head abruptly: "...Ah?!"

what happened again? !

Wen Xizhi knelt and kowtowed three times with all the officials, raised his silent face to look at his younger brother's terrified expression, and squeezed out a smile on his icy and snowy face, and said lightly: "If you want to burn incense to attract mosquitoes, why don't you?" The neck is biting red, go to the imperial hospital to get some Qinglingsan."

When I was young, I thought about it again, and added a sentence clearly: "Or Quyu San can also be used."

"!!!..."

At this time, Wen Yanzhi only hated that there were no seams on the ground and no knife on his body. He suppressed his blushing and looked up to the innermost part of the hall. He saw his emperor Qi Yu was being supported by Zhou Fu on the dragon chair, and the old god was sitting upright on the ground. , holding Xiangyun's handrail with his right hand, his eyes met at this moment, and he gave him a wink with a smile.

——This is to kill him!

Wen Yan's hot blood was stuck in the back, and his blood was almost splashing on the Golden Luan Hall.

He clearly remembered that there was no red spot on the back of his neck before going to bed last night!

This stupid Qi Yu must have bit him again while he was sleeping!

It's over, the second brother behind him has also checked out the case collection of Dali Temple, and the hickey marks can be seen at a glance.

——Go back to Beijing early and want to rest with the emperor for two more days before thinking about other matters, why is it a good time for the second brother to return to Beijing!

——My life... is over!
