It was late at night, the Jingjie drum in Shengjing had been beaten, the lights were gradually extinguished, and the hustle and bustle of the market fell into silence. Only the bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the magnificent imperial city.
The lights in Chengming Hall were still on, and the maids and eunuchs stood under the eaves of the corridor holding their breaths. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not seen such a big fire for many years. But one by one, they were ruthless, and the emperor was so angry that the water and rice did not enter the whole day.
On the imperial case, there was a piece of strategy, and under the bright candlelight, the word became more and more crooked. The emperor stared at the paper for half an hour, looking over and over, reading over and over, and finally speaking in a flat tone. Unable to hear the ups and downs, he asked, "Is this written by Shen Miaoping?"
With a whisk in his arms, Eunuch Liu heard the words and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, the servant saw what he wrote with his own eyes, but Tanhua Lang accidentally hurt his hand, so the handwriting is a bit scribbled."
Although Shen Miaoping had the memory of the original body, the handwriting could not be practiced for a moment. He deliberately cut a wound on the palm of his hand with a paper cutter, and it would be easier to get rid of it at that time.
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, and his eyes returned to the piece of paper again. The scribbled handwriting and the remarks that were too vernacular were not the point. There were only three sentences that really made him read back and forth.
"With bronze as a mirror, one can correct one's clothes; with history as a mirror, one can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses..."
"The ruler is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat or capsize it..."
"Whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world..."
The emperor sat withered in the dragon chair for a long time, and suddenly laughed lightly and joked half-truly, "This Shen Miaoping is a person who is well-rounded, with incisive words, it is rare for him to have such an opinion at such a young age. Put these few sentences into the hall test paper, and I might give him a champion dangdang... well, let him pass."
After he finished speaking, he copied the three sentences neatly, and then ordered Eunuch Liu to frame it and hang it by his bedside, which made the latter secretly startled.
The emperor has not been an easy job since ancient times, especially when it was an eventful time recently, he ordered someone to accept Shen Miaoping's strategy, and when the emperor reviewed the memorial, he found that another bad thing happened.
The only precious son of Princess Changning was riding a horse in the street a few days ago. He stepped on a vegetable stall and injured people. He was caught by the imperial censor of the city. Ya, people are now crying and shouting to resign and return home.
Thirty years old, what a country.
After all, it is at the foot of the emperor. In Shengjing, a brick is dropped. Six of the ten people are relatives of the royal family. The censor of the city is equivalent to the aunt of the neighborhood committee in later generations. Women need to take care of them, and thieves and pickpockets have to take care of them. They did what all the aunts of the neighborhood committee would do, but they didn't have the majesty of the aunts of the neighborhood committee.
Two censors have been replaced this month, and the third one just now is the third one. This position is too offensive. Let it go, I can't provoke those princes and grandsons. Don't care, it's just dereliction of duty.
The emperor thought that he had lost all his teeth. It would be pitiful that he could not even say the whole word. He was afraid that it would be difficult to eat in the future.
As for Princess Changning, she married the Marquis of Zhenbei a few years ago, and she had such a son. In that year, the Marquis of Zhenbei was killed in battle, and she loved her only son like a jewel like a jewel. , hold it in the palm of your hand for fear of falling, and hold it in your mouth for fear of melting.
It's not easy for an orphan and a widow. Why compete with the widow, so as not to run to the Queen Mother to cry when the time comes, the emperor thought about it, and the punishment was not too severe. He was suspended for three months and fined for half a year, and the matter was lightly exposed.
The old imperial censor returns to his hometown, so which unlucky person will fill the vacant position...
The emperor let out a "hiss", thought for a moment, put down the red pen in his hand and said to Eunuch Liu: "I remember, the imperial censor of the city is a sixth-rank official, right?"
Eunuch Liu narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Go back to the emperor, yes."
The emperor suddenly had a good candidate in his heart: "Well... it is better to let Shen Miao be on the top, watching him have a confrontation, he must be someone who is not afraid of the powerful and loves the people like a son, even though according to the rules, the new title of the new flower groom should start from a seventh-rank official. , but Erlang of the Xie family has made great military exploits for the Great Jin, and it is all right to be lenient."
Although Shen Miaoping's promotion to this position was a bit out of the norm, it was still in the past. More importantly, he had the Duke of Chang's mansion behind him, and those playful sons and daughters who made fun of cats and dogs didn't dare to turn the sky over in the face of Xie Yuzhi, the living king of hell. Come.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that there was no one who was more suitable than him. Even when the will was drawn up, Eunuch Liu continued to flatter him: "Sage is wise."
The next morning was a rare sunny day and the weather would cool down in a short time. The crystal stone that Shen Miaoping ordered Honeysuckle to polish yesterday had already been polished. Because the shape was simple, it didn’t take much effort. The blue blessing character is knotted with tassels, and it looks good against the transparent crystal.
Ren Dong couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, is this grinding to your liking?"
Shen Miaoping was lying in the yard basking in the sun, Wen Yan looked at it carefully, then took a pinch of soil from the ground and put it in the palm of her hand, put the crystal close to it and took a picture, and found that even a small ant was inside. Being able to see clearly, I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "It's well polished, I'll turn back and tell the second master, and ask him to reward you."
The maid in the first hospital immediately smiled when she heard the words, and Ren Dong said, "Then the slaves will thank you uncle."
Shen Miaoping is a typical person who does not spend his own money and does not feel distressed, and only loves to do things that borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. Xie Yuzhi was called by Xie Yanping this morning, when he came back, he heard laughter and noise in the yard, walked in and took a look, Shen Miaoping was holding a brilliant crystal stone in his hand, illuminating it endlessly under the sun, as if he had it What a rare item in general.
"You like this kind of stuff? There's a lot in the storeroom."
Xie Yuzhi walked in, holding a roll of paper in his hand behind his back, not knowing what it was, Shen Miaoping didn't care, he stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit on her lap, smiled and handed the crystal stone in his hand, "Does it look good? Like it or not? Send it to you."
When the maids on the side saw this intimacy, they all looked at their eyes, nose, nose and heart as blind.
Xie Yuzhi thought that the style of this jade pendant was too simple. It was oddly shaped, and the thickness was uneven. He took it from his hand and looked at it carefully and said, "But Er Er, if you like it, it's mine."
The ancients used jade pendants to settle their love, Xie Yuzhi broke a piece of Lianfang jade for Shen Miaoping, and it was fair that the other party gave him another piece.
Shen Miaoping snorted with a half-smile but then leaned into his ear and whispered, "I tell you, this is not an ordinary jade, it is a divine weapon."
Xie Yuzhi turned his head when he heard the words, and met a pair of beautiful and romantic eyes, which seemed to be blooming with sultry peach blossoms, just like him, the truth was not real.
Reaching out his hand and pressing Shen Miaoping's lips, Xie Yuyi said seriously, "Zibuyu is strange and confused."
The implication is that you don't believe it.
Shen Miaoping stretched out her hand and was about to take it back: "If you don't believe me, return it to me."
Xie Yuzhi tied the jade pendant to his waist in two or three times: "I believe it."
When Shen Miaoping heard this, there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, he instructed the maid to step back, grabbed Erye Xie's slender waist from behind, pulled the crystal pendant on his waist and said, "Would you like to make a bet, if I prove it This is an artifact, you can do it with me, and if I can't prove it, it's up to you."
After he finished speaking, he vowed to add: "Do what you want to me, do what you want to me, and never fight back."
Xie Yuzhi wanted to say that even if you fought back, you would not be able to beat me, but lest Shen Miaoping be angry, he swallowed back: "How do you want to prove it? Are you looking for a fairy to take a picture?"
"I'll take a picture of you, this goblin."
Shen Miaoping held his hand, and then put the crystal on his knuckle to take a picture, the texture of the skin was clearly visible: "Tsk tsk tsk, Second Master's hand is really scarred."
The joints of both hands are distinct, slender and powerful, but the palms are full of calluses and scars.
"No one who practices martial arts is not injured."
Xie Yuzhi narrowed his eyes, and seemed to have noticed the mystery of the crystal pendant. He took it off from his waist and took a closer look. He was surprised to find that no matter what small thing was photographed with the crystal pendant, it would be magnified several times in an instant. Flawless.
He stopped playing for a long time, his dark eyes turned to Shen Miaoping, he pulled his sleeve and asked, "How did you do it?"
"Then did you lose or win?" Shen Miao looked at him calmly.
Xie Erye was able to bend and stretch towards his husband-in-law, his facial features were feminine and delicate, and a smile flashed in his silent eyes: "I lost, you tell me."
Shen Miaoping slapped the melon seeds slowly and knocked out a handful of shells, under the gaze of Xie Yuzhi, he clapped his hands and said, "The bet does not stipulate that I have to tell you the trick, don't worry about it, it is better to worry about me if you think about it. How to deal with you."
Xie Yuzhi was really curious, like a cat scratching his heart, he pressed on Shen Miaoping's body and said, "This price can only magnify things, it is not a divine weapon."
Shen Miaoping put her hands behind her head, very single: "Then I lose, you can deal with me, I will let you do whatever you want."
Xie Yuzhi really wanted to beat him to the ground, and after hearing this, he threw a letter of appointment to Shen Miaoping, wanting to stimulate him: "The palace has sent someone to pass the order today, the emperor has appointed you as the new censor of the city, He will take office tomorrow."
"What?" Shen Miaoping raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and sat up with a rush, "The emperor gave me an official?"
Xie Yuzhi sat on his lap and was almost thrown off. He reached out and pressed the person back: "Well, sixth grade."
Shen Miaoping sat up again: "What's the matter?"
Xie Yuzhi continued to press him back: "Affiliated to the Metropolitan Police, inspecting Shengjing every day, responsible for public security management, arresting thieves, etc."
Shen Miaoping always felt that the emperor was not at ease, and when he heard it, he was really not at ease: "Isn't this a person in charge of the street?"
Xie Yuzhi could probably understand what the emperor thought in his heart: "...It's almost, but it's fine. I walk around every day, and I'm free from errands."
Shen Miaoping did not care about the level of the official position, he was thinking, is this official considered a soft meal
【Ding! 】
The system popped out at the right time,
[This official position is not included in the category of soft rice. The host relied on his literary talent to conquer the emperor yesterday~ The official position is obtained by yourself, please continue to work hard to conquer more people in this dynasty~ The interstellar self-improvement system is here to serve you wholeheartedly啾mi~]
Tweet your mi.
Shen Miaoping read the appointment letter over and over again, but unexpectedly there was no resistance, it was a job after all: "Oh, then I will go tomorrow, how much is the monthly salary?"
Xie Yuzhi folded his arms and looked at him calmly: "Not much, it's enough for you to eat."
Now the officials and nobles who do not have a shop in private, can they really rely on those stipends to buy Bieyuan? Can you recruit a singer? Can you eat big fish and big meat
can starve.
Shen Miaoping didn't care about this, he only thought that after taking office tomorrow, it would be the first step of self-reliance and self-improvement, and it would not be long before that ghost system would be able to untie him, there is really nothing better than this.
He was a little excited, and asked Xie Yuzhi energetically: "I am in charge of Shengjing City, and the brothel brothels are also under my control?"
Xie Yuzhi's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he almost forgot about it.
Reaching out and pulling Shen Miaoping's upper body from the chair, Xie Yuzhi stared at him dangerously and asked blankly, "What? Do you want to go shopping?"
“It’s not illegal to go shopping,” Shen Miaoping smiled sullenly, stretched out her hand to squeeze his face and pulled him to both sides, “If you want to go and tell me, let’s go together tomorrow, I haven’t been there since I grew up.”
Hearing this, Xie Yuzhi's smile deepened, his eyebrows flew into his temples, his eyes were a bit evil, but he couldn't see it closely, his slender knuckles pinched Shen Miaoping's chin and said, "There are so many places in the world that I have never been to. Do you want to go to Yama Hall?"
Shen Miaoping lifted her eyelids and looked at him with a smile, looking for a hint of seduction, and jokingly said, "Yan Luo Temple will go sooner or later, but not now."
Xie Yuzhi squinted his eyes and said: "There is a knife on the head of the color, if you dare to go to the brothel, believe it or not, I will let you go to the Yan Luo Temple tomorrow."
Seeing that he was really angry, Shen Miaoping reached out and pulled Xie Yuzhi into his arms, hooked his chin and continued to say those untrue love words: "Second Master, don't worry that I will destroy good women, I swear, I have no heart for you…”
"No,"
Xie Yuzhi shook his head unexpectedly: "I'm worried about you."
With Shen Miaoping's small body and beauty, when she entered the brothel, she could not decide who would sleep with whom.
