"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you walking back home!"
Liu Song led the carriage and followed the young master, somewhat puzzled. The young master had been sullen since he left the palace and stopped sitting in the carriage. He didn't know what happened.
"You go back first. The young master wants Jingjing. Don't ask which brothel girl Jingjing is. I don't know the young master. Okay, you can get out of here. Damn it, just say one more word. This month's salary buckle will be clean."
."
"drive"
He rode away with Juechen, leaving Young Master Liu standing on the street and thinking secretly.
He started wandering down the street with his hands behind his back, but Young Master Liu's mind was not at all on the scenery on the street.
Your Majesty's words today were vague and unclear, and he was obviously covering up something. Could it be that this young master did something wrong?
However, since I came back from my mission, I have been staying at home with my daughter. Even I only visited my father-in-law once. I shouldn't do anything to displease His Majesty.
So the root of this problem can only lie with junior brother Hu Jun, but what problems will Hu Jun have?
Could it be
Liu Mingzhi frowned. Could it be that the identity of the female junior brother was discovered?
Thinking about it, he could discover the identity of his younger brother, the woman. It is impossible for an old fox like Your Majesty not to be able to identify Hu Jun's identity.
In this case, what exactly do you mean, Your Majesty?
"What do you think of your junior brother Hu Jun?"
After thinking about Li Zheng's words carefully, Liu Mingzhi couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts. Why did Your Majesty ask me what I thought of my junior brother?
What's the profound meaning in this?
According to the laws of the Dalong Dynasty, women were prohibited from participating in the imperial examinations. Women's participation in the imperial examinations was an act of blasphemy against the saints. Once confirmed, they would be imprisoned pending trial, and execution was not impossible.
Your Majesty should have been able to identify his junior brother, but in this case he did not arrest him and investigate him. Instead, he asked me what I thought.
Liu Mingzhi was startled, and the pieces of silver he was rubbing in his hands suddenly clenched tightly together, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.
Could it be that His Majesty wanted to conceal this matter deliberately and reuse Junior Brother?
"What do you think of Hu Jun?"
Your Majesty is hesitant. On the one hand, he wants to see what kind of skills this woman who dominates the world's scholars can display and set a precedent for a generation of women to serve as officials. On the other hand, he is worried about being criticized. After all, being a woman is not the same as being an official.
The rules respected by the dragon conflict with each other.
If this is the case, it is worthy of careful consideration when Your Majesty asks me this question. Does Your Majesty want to use it or not?
After carefully recalling Li Zheng's previous expression, Liu Mingzhi slammed his hand: "Your Majesty knows the identity of junior brother. His hesitation must be because there is something worthy of taking advantage of junior brother's identity."
So what is the identity of junior brother?
Hu Jun, Hu, a feudal official, among the important ministers of the country, which colleague is named Hu?
After carefully going through the impressions in his mind, Liu Mingzhi did not find anyone named Hu.
"Pseudonym? Junior brother's surname is not Hu, this is a pseudonym."
Senior brother, this is my ancestral bone flute. I don’t have anything else to offer, so I’ll give you this ancestral bone flute as a gift.
"Bone flute, bone flute, grassland"
Liu Mingzhi, who wanted to scream, suddenly fell silent, and looked at the people walking around him with a gloomy expression.
No wonder Junior Brother would show up at Jinguo Inn. Traveling to the grasslands is fake, but going home to celebrate the New Year is real.
The prairie woman disguised herself and entered Dalong alone. She even became a disciple of the former emperor's master Wen Renzheng and became a closed disciple. She even became the Huiyuan of the Chunwei Examination.
"Interesting, interesting."
Your Majesty most likely wants to use his status as a junior disciple to make some articles, why don't you try to give some advice yourself?
No, no, I am a soft-spoken person now, and I cannot convince the old stubborns in the civil and military circles of the dynasty. Your Majesty, ask me what I mean.
Do you want me to find an opportunity to expose this matter or something else?
"I have a headache. I really have a headache. Your Majesty also has a headache. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you have to play riddles?"
"My young master said that he should not be an official if he is not an official. He thinks about the emperor's thoughts every day until his mind explodes. How can he live this life?"
"ah!"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have bumped into something, and it felt a little familiar.
Looking intently at Young Master Liu, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned around to leave. Who is the person that Young Master Liu is most afraid of seeing now? It is not His Majesty the Emperor, but the person in front of him.
Looking at Young Master Liu who was about to run away with his tail between his legs, a voice sounded like the cry of an oriole to the green willow tree: "Stop!"
Young Master Liu came back to his senses in despair and looked at the woman in front of him, lowering his head: "Sister, what a coincidence, we are here to go shopping."
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi with a bright red face: "You bumped into me and you didn't even apologize?"
"Uh,,,,,,,,," Liu Mingzhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about things just now and didn't notice anyone in front of me, so I accidentally bumped into my eldest sister. I'm really sorry, please forgive me."
Liu Mingzhi didn't want to be so humble. There were actually too many unclear misunderstandings with Qi Ya. The more he explained, the easier it was for people to misunderstand.
Qi Ya thought about what happened just now and realized that it was a misunderstanding. She saw Young Master Liu wandering around and wanted to say hello. Unexpectedly, Young Master Liu not only did not stop, but bumped into him.
In short, it's just a misunderstanding.
"What are you thinking absentmindedly? If a carriage passes by, you will have to suffer!"
"My little brother just came out of the palace. I forgot about some official matters when I was thinking about them. I didn't expect it."
Qi Ya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the playboy in front of her, who was famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, was already a great figure among people.
At such a young age, his achievements are somewhat higher than those of his father. No, it can be said that he has reached the point where he has stood tall and stood tall.
He is the Earl of Tongyuan of the third rank, Wensanguan of the third rank Yinqing Guanglu, and Wusanguan of General Xuanwei of the fourth rank.
Although the other two casual officials except Earl Tongyuan were just empty titles with no real power, even so, they were to the point of admiration.
Let’s look at what the students who are classmates are doing. They have just participated in the Chunwei Examination and are about to face the Imperial Examination, but Young Master Liu is already ranked among the third-rank nobles.
Although the official position is still that of a fifth-grade member, no one dares to underestimate Young Master Liu's status.
Count Tongyuan declared that Liu Mingzhi had stepped into the circle of powerful people. In the capital city where there were many officials and nobles gathered, he also had a considerable say.
No one dares to underestimate the status of a twenty-year-old earl, especially since this status is not hereditary but a title earned by one's own creation.
I learned from my close friends that Young Master Liu had become a frequent visitor to the palace and was highly favored by His Majesty and other empresses. He visited the palace more frequently than the two prime ministers and ministers.
It can be said that we are familiar with each other.
Qi Ya has no doubts about what Young Master Liu just said about coming out of the palace. If it were anyone else, Qi Ya might think it was nonsense.
But Young Master Liu is different, he does have this ability.
Qi Ya waved the thing in her hand: "Are you busy?"
