After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 33

In the end, Xie Yuan gave up the idea of ​​dissuading his eldest son without a word.

Unlike Jianshuang, who has a delicate mind and has many considerations, in his heart, only Xie Tangru's safety is the most important.The others combined could not compare to Xie Tang as a hair.Just like this time, he didn't think those people were worth Xie Tangru's risk.

But Xie Tangru's decision was seldom shaken. In the end, he had no choice but to try to dissuade his eldest son: "...you don't have to go in person. It's not necessary to leave this matter to me and Jianshuang."

Xie Tangru smiled slightly, and then rejected Xie Yuan's proposal.

It might hurt people to say it, but Xie Shizi thinks that his subordinates can't handle Shang Qingyao.

After all, he himself was once defeated by His Royal Highness Cheng Wang.And an interesting opponent, how could he easily miss it?

Wei Guogong had a glimpse of his actions in the past few days, but he has always been free to Xie Tangru and never interfered. At most, when Xie Tangru was so crooked that he couldn't bear to look at it, Wei Guogui would slap him back.

It's just that the father is still a little puzzled: "Haven't you reformed yourself and behaved better? What are you messing with now?"

Fortunately, he thought this kid had really changed his gender.

Xie Tangru cast a faint glance at his father: "It's not too late to reform after finishing this vote."

Standing behind him, Jianshuang couldn't help thinking when she heard this, it seems that those bandits always like to say that they will wash their hands after they finish their job - generally speaking like this, eight or nine times out of ten they will miss and be captured in the end.

She silently looked at her master, shook her head, and shook this strange thought out of her mind.

…………

The case of Minister of the Ministry of Officials involved a lot, and Shang Qingyao resorted to thunderous tactics. Before those intricate ministers could react, a group of people were immediately imprisoned.Although there is no final conclusion yet, it is a foreseeable fact that there are many radish pits in the court hall.With so many officials missing, someone would naturally need someone to fill it out, so the imperial court decided to set up another Enke in November. In addition to the candidates who are eligible to take the exam, this exam also allows the children of the aristocratic families to nominate their families to participate.

This is also a last resort.

One is that there are too many vacancies in the court, and there will definitely be people who will give up the carrot pit in the future, and the other is to appease these aristocratic families, in case they are forced to jump the wall and join hands to cause trouble for Shang Qingyao , much trouble.

Shang Qingyao hadn't closed his eyes for nearly three days.

The new Zhongshu Ling Song Xuan, who was arrested to handle troublesome matters for His Majesty the new Emperor, who also had not had a good rest for several days, yawned, his eyelids barely opened, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please take a rest." Let’s go! Even if you are full of energy, your courtiers are ordinary people with mortal bodies——I haven’t closed my eyes for almost a day and a night.”

Song Xuan feels like vomiting when he sees these memorials now.

"I beg you to hurry up and recruit some capable ministers to solve your majesty's worries and problems! I really have more than enough heart but not enough power."

A worthy minister.

Shang Qingyao's thoughts moved slightly: "What do you think of Wei Guogong's son?"

"This..." Song Xuan's eyes fluttered, "Isn't he a well-known playboy all over the capital?"

"You really think so?"

That's not it.Even if he thought so before, but that day when he saw the maid next to Wei Guogong's prince who knocked him unconscious with a palm, Song Xuan guessed that this prince was a person who kept a low profile under the eyes of the first emperor.

But this kind of character means trouble as well as ability.

Song Xuan chose his words, and said hesitantly: "This... the son of the Duke of Wei is certainly good. But the previous emperor... the son of the Duke of Wei may not be willing to serve in the court." He pondered Shang Qingyao's thoughts and added another sentence, "A few days ago, Duke Wei asked someone to resign."

He has no intention of serving the court at all.

Shang Qingyao was silent for a moment, and finally agreed: "You are right."

Song Xuan calmed down a bit, "Besides, I heard that Xie Shizi has decided to pursue the immortal path and worship under an immortal teacher. These days, he is still in the south of the city to count the lives of all beings...Your Majesty, Xie Shizi may not be in the temple."

It is unheard of for Xie Tang to run under the bridge to tell fortunes to others like a dignified son. Song Xuan guessed that he is a rebel, and I am afraid it will be difficult to use. It is better not to bother with this son.

What's more, if Wei Guogong's mansion is powerful, it may not be a good thing for Shang Qingyao.

"Chengnan? The appearance of all living beings?" Shang Qingyao couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words. He was too busy in the palace these days, and he didn't know what big and wonderful things Xie Tangru would do again.

He was interested, so Song Xuan could only reply in a nutshell: "Shizi Xie appeared in the south of the city half a month ago to give the fortune-telling for the person he said was destined." It was only after people went to invite him that he found out that he was the son of Duke Wei.

"I remember...he didn't believe this." Shang Qingyao pondered slightly, and asked again: "Is he here today?"

"It should be there."

"Then go out of the palace to have a look." Shang Qingyao closed the memorial.

The south of the city is divided into six squares and twelve cities, with mixed fish and dragons, both dignitaries and ordinary people come and go, it is one of the most prosperous places in Beijing, with smoked willows planted everywhere in spring, and lotus leaf pavilions in summer.

Li Mengshu sat in the shadow of the banyan tree crown, wiping his sweat with his sleeves while talking to Xie Tangru.

"I'm going to end this year."

Xie Tangru turned to look at him.This friend who has known each other for many years seems to be in a bad mood. Xie Tangru guessed that the matter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials affected him-whoever is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is also surnamed Li.

And it is a Li character with the same root and origin-the official secretary is exactly Li Mengshu's uncle.When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials fell, half of the Li family was implicated. Only Li Mengshu's father and grandfather were left as officials in the court. Raising a false job.

The Li family urgently needs a new son to join the court as an official, so as to maintain the noble status of the Li family as a noble family.As the eldest son of the family and the most talented one - Xie Tang knew that this mess would definitely be dumped to Li Mengshu without thinking too much.

But as a good friend, Xie Tangru also knew that Li Mengshu didn't have this ambition at all.

Li Mengshu smiled wryly: "In fact, I don't want to be an official in the court. But I am the only one in the family who can shoulder the burden. If not, I can only follow the example of the Zheng family and use the daughters of the family as bargaining chips in exchange for a moment of glory."

The Zheng family is a declining gentry. A few years ago, they sent a flowery daughter into the old emperor's harem to show signs of recovery.

Li Mengshu looked down on this style.

Xie Tangru thought about it, and wanted to comfort him: Li's family can raise such a thing as his cousin, so it is probably a nest of snakes and rats, only you are an outlier when you are innocent.However, he still took his friend's feelings into consideration, so he didn't say anything directly, but said: "There is no family in the world that can continue to prosper. There is only one family with seven surnames that is more noble than the royal family in the past, and now there is only the Chen family." You can't even find a name for the other families. The current situation of your family has nothing to do with you, and this burden is not something you can lift alone, so you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. "

"Of course I know that prosperity must decline is common sense in the world, but at least I can't just stand by and watch my family collapse - the family gave birth to me and raised me, and I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a descendant." Li Mengshu sighed, his eyes complicated , patted Xie Tangru on the shoulder, "Ah Ru, thank you for enlightening me."

Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows: "Since this is the case, let's do a fortune telling."

"Okay. It's just that I've come down to this point, Ah Ru, so you don't have to pay for it?"

"Okay, then I'll go to Shang Qinghuai to ask for it. He's your cousin, and it's my duty as a younger brother to pay for my elder brother." Xie Tangru did not hesitate to start persecuting Shang Qinghuai who knew nothing about it.

"When Qinghuai heard this, she probably pointed at the two of us and scolded us for being worthless."

Saying that, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

……

"He has a lot of acquaintances and friends." Shang Qingyao stood with his hands behind his back, "The eldest son of the Li family actually has a relationship with him."

With so many good friends, it's not surprising that I can't remember him at all.

Song Xuan couldn't figure it out when he heard his slightly displeased tone, and said casually: "It's a well-known fact in Beijing that the son of the Duke of Wei and the eldest son of the Li family have a good relationship, so there's nothing strange about it, right?"

"........."

For some reason, Song Xuan felt that the people around him seemed to be even more unhappy.
