The imperial examination was Xu Qingshan's heartache.

It was a lie to say that he did not want to take the imperial examination again. It was just that after he gave up studying literature and martial arts, he believed that he no longer qualified for the imperial examination.

In the past, I could not pass the exam even if I devoted myself to studying. Now my time is taken up by practicing martial arts. How can I still have a chance?

But Yuan Xiu's words ignited his fighting spirit.

Now that I am trapped in the palace, I don't need to help the Zuo Xiangfu to fight and kill. I can just use this time to study hard.

Isn't this opportunity coming?

"Your Majesty, I will give it serious consideration."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

"Your Majesty, I am too drunk to drink. Can you please step back and rest?"

"Then you go back. I will meet you for a drink in a few days."

"yes……"

At this time, young Eunuch Jin quickly walked up to Yuan Xiu, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Shaxian is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"Uncle Shaxian?" Yuan Xiu snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "No!"

Xu Qingshan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have resigned."

After Xu Qingshan and the young eunuch went out, Yuan Xiu strode towards the ministers and said with a smile: "Come on, dear friends, let's continue drinking!"

There were not many ministers in the palace, only Xu Shouli, Chen Changyun, He Yin, Luo Mingyi, Tie Ge and Wei You. The ministers had long discovered that not only did the emperor not invite Wen Tai, he did not even have a minister from the left party faction.

Yuan Xiu sat down on Luo Mingyi's desk and said: "Luo Shangshu, I am not short of money now. When can you complete the Yuxin Palace?"

Luo Mingyi stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, as long as the money can keep up, the construction can be completed in May or June next year!"

Yuan Xiu said displeasedly: "It's only December now. If I wait until June next year, don't I have to wait another half a year?"

Luo Mingyi explained: "The Yuxin Palace has a huge structure and is an unusual palace..."

"Fuck your mother!"

Yuan Xiu pointed at Luo Mingyi and shouted: "Half of the Yuxin Palace has been built, and I don't want you to start over! It must be completed by March next year at the latest!"

"This, this..." Luo Mingyi did not dare to agree for a while.

Yuan Xiudao: "The Xishan Dam has been completed. Your Ministry of Works has enough manpower, so what can't be done? Luo Mingyi, after you built the Star Observation Tower, I made your wife a royal concubine. If the Royal New Palace can be completed on time,

I will give your mother the imperial title again!"

"how?"

Luo Mingyi took a breath, walked out immediately, knelt down to Yuan Xiu, and said loudly: "Even if I don't eat or sleep, I will never dare to delay your majesty's construction schedule!"

"That's pretty much it." Yuan Xiu happily walked towards his seat.

The surrounding ministers immediately congratulated Luo Mingyi.

"Congratulations to Luo Shangshu! Congratulations to Luo Shangshu!"

"It's a great honor to have two sons in the same family!"

"Luo Shangshu's holy favor is simply the envy of others..."

As soon as Yuan Xiu sat down, Eunuch Jin walked over quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Shaxian..."

Yuan Xiu asked: "What's wrong with him? Can't he understand human speech?"

Jin Gonggong said: "He said that he must see His Majesty. If Your Majesty does not see him, he will keep kneeling outside and wait."

"Then keep him kneeling!"

"yes!"

The king and his ministers drank until late at night before they dispersed. Wei You and Eunuch Jin helped Yuan Xiu out of the palace.

Yuan Xiu walked a little giddy, but the two of them didn't know whether Yuan Xiu was drunk. Yuan Xiu was like this after drinking one drink, and he was like this after drinking ten drinks. It was impossible to judge.

"Little gold."

Yuan Xiu put his hand on Eunuch Jin's shoulder, patted his arm, and said, "I remember your name...is Jin Hu, right?"

"Your Majesty actually remembered the name of the slave. If the slave had not been supporting your Majesty now, he would have knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness a hundred times!" Jin Hu said flattered.

Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "Your mouth is much sweeter than your adoptive father's. Why are you on duty tonight? Where is your adoptive father?"

Jin Hu said: "Eunuch Lu is in ill health, so he informed the slave in advance and asked the slave to stay by His Majesty's side these days."

Yuan Xiu smiled lightly, knowing why Lu Lu didn't come.

A great master, how can he become ill so easily?

It was obvious that Long Wei's performance that day made him worried, so he took the time to train Long Wei.

Yuan Xiu patted Jin Hu's arm twice more and said, "Your adoptive father loves you very much."

Although Jin Hu is not very old, he has been taken by Lu Lu since he was a child, so he can be regarded as an old man in the palace. Lu Lu takes good care of him, and his position is not low. Xiao Luofeng was awarded the title of General Long Xiang.

He went to Qingdong City to deliver the imperial edict.

The eunuchs who have been in the palace for a long time are very shrewd. Jin Hu could not understand the meaning of Yuan Xiu's words and immediately said: "My little slave will serve your majesty well and not let Eunuch Lu down!"

"Huh?" Yuan Xiu turned his head and saw a person kneeling on the steps.

Jin Hu quickly said: "It's Uncle Shaxian."

Yuan Xiu withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward, saying, "I'm sleepy. Let's go back to the imperial study."

Jin Hu and Wei You helped Yuan Xiu onto the dragon chariot, as if they didn't even see Wen Hu.

As soon as Yuan Xiu returned to the imperial study, he lay down on the couch and fell asleep. The golden pot was kept guarded all night.

At dawn, Jin Hu arranged for the eunuchs and maids to serve him, and then said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Shaxian..."

Yuan Xiu frowned and said, "Is it over yet? He's here again??"

"He...came here last night and was kneeling outside the whole time."

"Yo? You want to impress me!"

Yuan Xiu sat down on the chair and said: "Go prepare breakfast and ask Uncle Shaxian to come in and eat together. I would like to know what he has to say!"

After a while, Jin Hu brought Wen Hu in.

As soon as he saw Yuan Xiu, Wen Hu fell to his knees, then crawled over on his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

Yuan Xiu looked like a frightened kitten, quickly put down the porridge in his hand, stood up and said: "Uncle Shaxian, why are you doing this?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Wen Hu kowtowed at Yuan Xiu's feet.

"Look, if you have something to say, just say it properly..." Yuan Xiu helped Wen Hu stand up and said, "Come, sit down and have something to eat with me."

"I don't dare!"

"You can eat if you are told to."

Yuan Xiu sat down, glared at Wen Hu, and said, "Uncle Sha County, who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, looks so frightened. Why is that?"

Wen Hu knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, the two heads hanging outside Mujing Bay, they... are from Zuo Xiangfu!"

Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "Is this happening?"

Wen Hu said: "One of them is called Chen Jiudao and the other is named Tulip. They are both my uncle's disciples."

Yuan Xiu asked: "You mean, these two people are from Zuoxiang's Mansion, and now they have broken the law. You are afraid of being related to Zuoxiang's Mansion, so you are anxious to come to me to explain?"

"No!"

Wen Hu raised his head and said: "I want to tell your majesty that what happened in Mujing Bay was either the result of a fight between Jianghu people or the leftist government!"
