Shen Jue was stunned for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, the servant entered the palace when he was a few years old, and he has forgotten where his hometown is."
Murong Xiu looked at him, but did not hide his anger, "Then why do you know You Congxuan?"
Shen Jue was silent for a while before saying: "Since Your Majesty participated in reading the imperial examination papers in person, someone has found a servant in private and wanted the servant to speak nicely before His Majesty, and that You Congxuan is one of them. The eunuch found the servant, and the servant did not want to do such a thing, but after seeing You Congxuan's face, the servant knew that this person would definitely be useful to His Majesty, so he deliberately wet the answer sheet."
Murong Xiu frowned and listened carefully to Shen Jue's words before he said, "You know what he looks like? Why did you do this?"
Shen Jue raised his head and looked fixedly at Murong Xiu, "Because he is somewhat similar to His Majesty, the servant thought, the Prince Regent will definitely take action when he sees You Congxuan, and You Congxuan dares to buy an official, from this matter , the servant will know You Congxuan's character, and such a person will be of great benefit to His Majesty by staying by the Regent's side, so the servant has the courage to do such a thing."
He paused, then took out a purse from his sleeve, and held it in front of Murong Xiu with both hands respectfully.
"The money collected by the slaves is also here, and I don't dare to pocket a single copper plate."
Murong Xiu lowered his eyes.
Although his face was ruined, his eyes were still beautiful, even more prominent because of the ugly scars. He looked down at Shen Jue with a complicated expression, and after a while, he gently took the purse that Shen Jue was holding, "You didn't lie to me?"
Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, Shen Jue showed a pleasing smile, "How could the servant lie to His Majesty? The servant does all this for His Majesty."
Yeah
But why does he feel uneasy
Are you really not lying to me
are you really for me
Murong Xiu looked at Shen Jue, who was smiling, but he couldn't ask these words. He laughed at himself in his heart. At this point, he hardly dared to think deeply about Shen Jue's intentions. It was Shen Jue who destroyed his face, and it was Shen Jue who protected him in front of the regent. If Shen Jue was good It's fake, what should he do
He believed in Shen Jue so much, but he gradually realized that Shen Jue didn't seem ordinary at all.
Shen Jue seemed to be hiding a huge secret, and Murong Xiu instinctively felt that the secret would be very dangerous.
Murong Xiu put away his anger and smiled at Shen Jue, "I believe you."
If you want to lie to me, please lie for a lifetime, or I will not let you go.
…
You Congxuan was successfully promoted, and Murong Xiu gave him a spare job to be on duty in the Hanlin Academy. And You Congxuan was really ambitious, but in just one month, he hooked up with the Prince Regent. He hadn't seen Murong Xiu's real face before his disfigurement, and after realizing that the Prince Regent was always staring at his face intentionally or unintentionally, he began to make plans.
The Prince Regent has complicated thoughts about You Congxuan's fake. He wants to use the other person's face to remember Murong Xiu's appearance, but he feels that You Congxuan's character is not as good as Murong Xiu. People drive away.
And You Congxuan was very puzzled when he saw that the Prince Regent treated him for a while, but for a while.
Among the people who were selected this time, there was a person who was on duty in the Hanlin Academy with him, named Yu Junwei. They were both in the middle and were assigned to the Hanlin Academy together, so they were still close. After drinking once, You Congxuan couldn't help but confided his confusion to Yu Junwei.
Yu Junwei held the wine glass and smiled mysteriously, "Master You, how would you like to answer this question below?"
You Congxuan looked at him, puzzled: "Do you still know the clue?"
Yu Junwei looked around and lowered his voice, "Master You is a foreigner, so I don't know, but I'm from the capital. I know a little about him. That man is a good man." A few words, he said vaguely, "Master You has an immortal appearance, just like the golden boy next to the Queen Mother, the master is not excited when he sees it, but Master You doesn't know anything. That big man is like that."
After You Congxuan listened to Yu Junwei's words, his half-drenched brain suddenly sobered up a lot.
Yu Junwei meant that the regent had taken a fancy to him.
At this time, male style was a popular thing, and many dignitaries liked male style, so the business of Nanfeng Pavilion in Beijing was even more prosperous.
You Congxuan is not a good man, but he is a man who loves money and power. Now that he is on duty at the Hanlin Academy, his monthly salary is only a little bit, and he has to socialize every month, and the money left is only enough to make ends meet. When someone secretly told him that he could buy an official, he spent almost all of his money. There's not much left at all now.
If he can cling to the regent, how good will the future be
The drunk You Congxuan swallowed his saliva and felt that it was worthwhile to sacrifice his own flesh and body for the future, not to mention that the Prince Regent was so handsome that he would not suffer at all when he was with him.
Yu Jun, who was drinking beside him, laughed wickedly to see You Congxuan, and laughed secretly.
Can this guy be an official? It's ridiculous.
In this room, You Congxuan is gearing up to climb the mountain to the regent's bed. Over there, Murong Xiu is secretly cultivating his own power. After he finds that Shen Jue is smarter than he imagined, he simply asks Shen Jue's opinion on everything, and Shen Jue Jue did not disappoint him.
Unconsciously, Murong Xiu trusted Shen Jue more and more, and even started to get used to not seeing Shen Jue for a long time.
As for the Prince Regent, he was a little overwhelmed when he got You Congxuan's stand-in. What he couldn't get from Murong Xiu could be obtained from You Congxuan. You Congxuan would never treat him coldly, and would call him Prince, even in On the bed, you can say anything nasty.
This caused the Prince Regent to look at Murong Xiu with a little more pleasure during the morning court.
There is really no one left in the world.
Murong Xiu didn't know what was good or bad, so naturally there were other people who knew good and bad.
But You Congxuan was not so comfortable. He did climb on the Prince Regent's bed, but the Prince Regent was a violent man who would beat him on the bed, causing him to be black and blue now, making him cry every time. The Regent will stop.
You Congxuan was uncomfortable in bed, so he had to find comfort in other places. He is now a popular man in front of the Regent, so he is naturally entertained by everyone, so You Congxuan wanted to make money from these people, but those who wanted to meet the Regent had nowhere to go. The people who were looking for You Congxuan.
The Prince Regent liked You Congxuan's face, and for a while, he was reluctant to let go, so he turned a blind eye to You Congxuan's actions.
…
Murong Xiu looked at the letter presented, and couldn't help but look at Shen Jue, "Shi Jian'an sent it?"
Shen Jue nodded, "Yes, it was sent in this morning, and the people of Lord Shi deliberately found the minions."
The letter wrote about what You Congxuan had done recently under the name of the Regent Prince. You Congxuan, an eighth-rank official of a small Hanlin Academy, actually managed the official salt.
Murong Xiu couldn't help but angrily said, "These two little people are like a nest of snakes and mice."
Shen Jue heard the words and walked behind Murong Xiu. He gently helped Murong Xiu to press his shoulder, "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, You Congxuan is a cancer, if Your Majesty is in a hurry to get rid of this cancer, he will be punished. People who are attached to cancer are relieved."
Murong Xiu felt a little relieved after being massaged, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty might as well sit on the sidelines, someone is more anxious than Your Majesty."
In previous years, the official salt companies were those, and You Congxuan wanted other families to come in and get a share of the pie. How could the original ones be willing? Naturally they will find their backers. The reason why these people are respectful to the Prince Regent is that the Prince Regent has high power and status, and it has no influence on them, but when their vested interests are damaged, those people will not be willing.
So, towards the end of the year, several ministers jointly signed a book, complaining about You Congxuan's private sales of official salt.
And how did an eighth-rank official in You Congxuan do this
Therefore, Murong Xiu directly asked about it in the early morning.
Hearing this, the Prince Regent looked at You Congxuan at the back of the team. He knew that You Congxuan had done many things in his name, but he didn't expect that You Congxuan would dare to move Guan Yan's mind.
When You Congxuan saw the Prince Regent looking at him, his body trembled, and he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has been wronged, how dare Wei Chen privately sell the official salt quota?"
Murong Xiu looked at him coldly, "But You Aiqing, this book is written clearly, but I'm really curious, how did You Aiqing do it?"
You Congxuan groaned and didn't know how to answer, but Shi Jian'an, who was in the team, came out, "I have the original play."
"The Guard is Here"
…
Shen Jue never went to the morning court with Murong Xiu. When Murong Xiu went to the morning court, he usually stayed in Murong Xiu's palace.
The memorial was sent to the palace late at night, and he had read the content. He knew that today's early morning would be a bloody storm, and it was far from enough to overthrow the regent. The only reason why the regent can control the government is because he has military power in his hands.
Shen Jue couldn't help frowning. His ability is too limited now. He is in the harem, and it is difficult to intervene in the affairs of the previous dynasty.
While Shen Jue was planning how to go next, someone hurriedly walked into the palace, and Shen Jue was hugged by the person as soon as she realized it.
