After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 23

Hearing Xie Tangru's voice, Jianshuang was injected into the soul from the lifeless puppet, and thought for a while to answer Xie Tangru: "There is no abnormality in Baiyun Temple for the time being. I will continue to order people to monitor the movements in Baiyun Temple."

She paused, and asked Xie Tangru: "Do you want to send people to watch the governor of Yuzhou?"

Xie Tangru pondered for a while, then asked: "How is the situation in Beijing?"

"Just received the news that the mansion of King Rong was besieged by the Imperial Forest Army. King Rong's wife, concubine and children are all in the mansion, but he himself is nowhere to be seen. Zuodu Censor, Taiwei and others say that King Duan's seizure of the throne is unfair, and he is unbearable to be a king." Jian Shuang With his head down, he explained the chaotic situation in Beijing in a few words. When he said this, he paused and looked up at Xie Tangru, "Prime Minister Zuo proposed to bring back the abolished prince, saying that the witchcraft case was the fault of the queen and had nothing to do with the prince himself. There is nothing wrong with deposing the prince, and he should not be deposed."

Xie Tangru narrowed his eyes.

Prime Minister Zuo was a veteran of the two dynasties. He firmly held power in his hands when the first emperor was incompetent, and cultivated party members, so that in the last years of the late emperor, Prime Minister Zuo's disciples and old officials spread all over the court and the public.

The reason he was so clear was that he had an enmity with Prime Minister Zuo's party.

The year Xie Tangru took the imperial examination, the position of Tanhua was not his turn.The first emperor was stupid, so the scientific examination for selecting talents was not so fair and just. The top three were all appointed internally, and the one who should occupy the position of Tanhualang was Prime Minister Zuo's nephew.

As for Xie Tangru, his stomach was empty, and he should have been named Luosun Shan, but his face had given him too many benefits, making the late emperor, who was a good at cultivating immortals and also a beauty in his life, think of him, and made a decision to take Xie Tangru to the palace examination.They racked their brains to write poems and poems on policies to win the emperor's favor. Xie Tangru was asked a few questions such as "How old are you?" "Have you married?" "What books do you like to read?" Tanhua.

As for Prime Minister Zuo's nephew, the policy theory was written gorgeously, but it was a pity that it was too difficult to pronounce.The old emperor asked Xie Tangru what he thought, and Xie Tangru directly said that he didn't understand.As a result, the old emperor put him in the position of top three and Jinshi.

Prime Minister Zuo's family was so angry that they blew their beards and stared at each other, and then they hated Xie Tangru.

Speaking of which, Prime Minister Zuo's unlucky nephew and the one who came to recognize him as his father a few days ago were still friends from classmates.

The scattered thoughts gradually reunited, Xie Tangru tapped the sandalwood table beside him with his fingers, his eyes were clear and cold: "How will the waste prince answer?"

Jianshuang shook her head: "Recently, the aborted prince has no intention of contacting the former princelings, and he is also indifferent to Prime Minister Zuo's proposal. According to our people, all the thoughts of the abolished prince are on saving his medical girl.

The medical girl said she would not be a concubine, so the abolished prince wanted to marry her as his wife.The identity of the medical girl has not been found out yet, only that she has been active in Yuzhou not long ago. "

"I see." Xie Tangru replied in a deep voice, "Be optimistic about Shen Yu, and let the people in Baiyun Temple be prepared, and play by ear when necessary."

"Yes."

Going to Baiyun Temple, apart from the governor of Yuzhou personally accompanying him, there was also his precious daughter Xue Ciyi.Xue Ciyi was brightly dressed, but the obvious impatience on her little face made her a little more impetuous.

"Where did that guy Shen Yu go?" She frowned and looked around, but the servant girl hurried over and shook her head to indicate that she didn't see anyone.Xue Ciyi was even more unhappy, and snorted twice, "Wait for him to come back...huh."

Xie Tangru walked over calmly, relying on the fact that he was still bearing the name of "Cheng Wang's man" and slapped Xue Ciyi sideways with a smile: "Miss Xue seems to care about that Mr. Shen?"

"That's not true." Seeing Xie Tangru's face, Xue Ciyi's attitude softened a lot, and she could even be called gentle and innocent, "It's just that I think he is more interesting now. Besides, he sold himself to me on his own initiative, not me persecuted him."

"initiative?"

"That's right." Xue Ciyi said as a matter of course, "He served me as a slave and a handmaiden, and he was at my command. I told my father to extract him from the imperial examination fraud case. But I guess he must not know that I told someone to marry him. Putting the case on the hook made him disqualified from the exam."

She giggled triumphantly after she finished speaking.

Xie Tangru didn't answer her words, the smile on his face was as light as illusory, at first glance there was a bit of indifference and mockery.

But Xue Ciyi didn't notice the change in his expression, or she couldn't see other people at all.

After Xue Ciyi said this, she pouted again, "Baiyun Temple is so far away and it's not fun, I didn't go there at first. It was my father who insisted on letting me go, and told me to have a good relationship with King Cheng today. But luckily you Also, it finally made me not so boring."

Xie Tangru withdrew from Xue Ciyi's side without a trace, and returned to Shang Qingyao's side.Shang Qingyao was wearing ordinary clothes today, without a sense of sternness, like a luxurious prince.

It complements Xie Tangru's attire.

He whispered to Shang Qingyao.

"The governor of Yuzhou intends to marry his precious daughter to you and make him a princess. Just now Xue Ciyi said that her father asked her to get close to you on purpose."

The tone is lightly teasing.

"The governor of Yuzhou doesn't have such thoughts." Shang Qingyao calmly moved his eyes away from Xie Tangru's lips, and his voice was flat, obviously not interested in that beautiful Miss Xue.

Xie Tangru naturally didn't mention it anymore.

Even if Xue Ciyi has too many bad things, she should pay attention to safeguarding her reputation as a woman.

"The plain seats in Baiyun Temple are very famous." Seeing his lack of interest, Shang Qingyao spoke softly to Xie Tangru, "It's one of the best in Yuzhou, you can try it when the time comes."

"The taste is just ordinary, but it's better because of the exquisite thought." Xie Tangru commented, "If it's true about the taste, the vegetarian restaurant in the Thousand Buddha Temple outside the imperial capital is the best."

As long as Xie Tangru has a father who is obsessed with cultivating immortals, it is impossible for Shang Qingyao to know these famous Taoist temples better than him.

Shang Qingyao: "I heard that Baiyun Temple's internal interpretation of hexagrams is also very accurate."

This Xie Tangru has never tried it, he thought for a while and said slowly: "His Royal Highness, if you want, you can try it. I heard that Baiyun Temple is very accurate in calculating the birth of a boy and a girl, and love and marriage." The main thing is to count. In this regard, it is easier to obtain a stable source of customers and incense money.

Right now, almost most of the well-known temple temples are paying special attention to the business of counting Hongluan stars and seeking children.

Xie Tangru didn't tell Shang Qingyao about this.

"You..." Shang Qingyao sighed helplessly when he heard the words, looking completely helpless.

-

He treated Xie Tangru too much in the eyes of outsiders.

But no one reminded him.

Xie Tangru avoided Shang Qingyao's gentle and helpless gaze, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have not remembered his distinguished guest in Wei Guogong's mansion for many days. I don't know if the person he went to investigate in the Northland got the result?

Moreover, Xie Tangru carefully glanced at Shang Qingyao's brows. From certain angles, Shang Qingyao and Yao Shang were very similar.

If it is said that they are blood brothers, eight or nine out of ten people will believe it.

However, King Cheng did not have any siblings from the same mother. In the entire imperial court, there were only four adult princes.But if Yao Shang is Shang Qingyao's illegitimate son... Xie Shizi thought about it, and had to admit that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang probably couldn't give birth to a son at such a young age.

Xie Tangru had an unprecedented curiosity about Yao Shang's identity.

This kind of curiosity even made him not want to kill Shang Qingyao right now.But... Xie Tangru pushed the tip of the dagger into his sleeve, hiding the sharp blade.The cold iron blade is attached to the warm and throbbing blood vessels, and with a slight movement, it can pierce the thin skin and plunge into the scarlet blood.

Holding the dagger, Xie Tangru met Shang Qingyao's eyes, and suddenly thought of the three hundred crossbowmen hidden in the Baiyun Temple.

The "sorrel" he personally prepares for the recognized opponent.
