It is approaching evening.

Jiao Shun limped back home, and while walking towards the east wing, he thought that the small wooden box could not be loaded, so he should find another place to collect the spoils.

He didn't want to see Lai Wang with a gloomy face as soon as he entered the door.

"father?"

Jiao Shun was quite surprised. After all, even if there was something wrong, he would come to Wang to call him to go to the main hall to discuss.

"Hmph~"

Seeing that his son finally returned home, Lai Wang immediately stood up and scolded, "Where are you going to mess around again? Your mother thought you had been back long ago!"

"Didn't I eat too much wine and sleep in a daze outside?"

Jiao Shun smiled embarrassedly, then changed the topic and said, "You are always waiting for your son in the east wing. Could it be that something happened in the yamen?"

"Nothing happened in the yamen. The court was the one who had the accident, and it was the morning court!"

Wow~

I don’t expect that the old man is still worried about the Forbidden City.

Jiao Shun asked again: "It has something to do with us?"

“Naturally related…”

I heard Wang say worriedly: "You're afraid you don't know yet? At the court meeting this morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Inspectorate jointly submitted a memorial, saying that the work show was filthy and alluding to the government's affairs, and demanding the court's orders to ban it!"

"No wonder."

Jiao Shun suddenly realized when he heard this. No wonder the emperor suddenly summoned Jia Baoyu. It turned out that he was defeated in the morning court and urgently needed a channel to vent his anger.

When Lai Wang heard him say "No wonder", he thought he was thinking of some court battles, and held his breath and waited for his son to continue talking.

Who knew that Jiao Shun had no idea what happened.

However, he sat down on the chair with his head down and grinned his knees. The blanket he used this summer was really thin, but he chose a new unfamiliar venue. As a result, when he switched to the battle formation, he accidentally hit his knees, which greatly affected his performance. Fortunately, his opponent's new combat power was not strong. If he changed to a veteran on the battlefield, he would be afraid that he would show his timidity.

He didn't care about wandering around here, but he was anxious, so he came up and stared at him, "If something happened so big, don't you want to say something?"

"There's nothing to say."

Jiao Shun spread his hands and said helplessly: "As early as the first month of the year, the emperor issued an order to promote this work drama to the people. I expected this ending - in order to coax people to pay money, the folk grass team liked to mix some meat and vegetables dramas, and those scholars who wrote books also liked to reflect the secrets of the officialdom."

"It would be fine if the Ministry of Works leads slowly. Now that we are eager to achieve success, it is inevitable that we will be covered in mud and sand. Once some signs appear, those scholars who oppose His Majesty's elevation of the status of craftsmen will be strange if they do not take the opportunity to make a big fuss on this."

Lai Wang frowned and questioned: "Since you expected this would be the result, why didn't you beware of it? Are you not afraid of something that will cause trouble?!"

Jiao Shun smiled and said, "Don't worry, when I was doing such a scheming show, I basically had three words: great and glorious! As long as the officials and people of our Xia Kingdom appear in the show, their image must be great, glorious and just."

"And the whole drama is filed from the front to the back of the scenes. No one can find any faults. If you have to pick bones in the egg, there will be a minister who will be in front of you."

"As for why I knew it was inappropriate, I didn't take any precautions early... Haha, let alone what I, a mere sixth-rank official, could do, even if I really had a solution, I would never do it!"

Lai Wang became increasingly puzzled: "Why is this?"

Jiao Shun spread his hands: "Because this is the emperor's intention, and the foundation of our business is to be flattering! If I report to me at that time, I may anger Your Majesty; if I lead the blame but do not cause any trouble, I will inevitably become the target of public criticism at this time."

"My son finally gained a foothold in the Ministry of Works. Why do you have to do this thankless thing? Nowadays, everyone outside thinks that I am suffering from the disaster, and colleagues in the Ministry of Works are inevitably united in the same hatred. It may be a good thing for us."

…………

at the same time.

Emperor Longyuan also talked about this in the palace.

Because he was defeated in the morning court, he vented his anger at Jia Baoyu during the day, but he was still depressed at night, so he simply ran to Jia Yuanchun to accuse him.

"The scriptures are good scriptures, but they were recited by those crooked monks!"

He paced back and forth and said gritting his teeth: "I originally wanted to hand over this matter to Jiao Changqing. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet said that it was not in compliance with the rules and should be managed by the Jiaofang Department and co-organized by Shuntian Prefecture! Humph~ The Ministry of Rites is a hypocritical act, but now he dares to jump out and criticize me for not promoting the work show. I don't know whose power they rely on!"

"Your Majesty is careful!"

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he reached out to cover Emperor Longyuan's mouth in shock. However, when the slender jade fingers were raised in the air, she realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly changed to closing the collar for the emperor and advised earnestly: "Your Majesty wants to promote craftsmen and replace scholars, which has really touched the roots of the civil officials. They will inevitably feel conflicted. There are some erratic disobediences. If someone is behind the scenes... I am afraid that Your Majesty will be too careful."

This sounds like an excuse for someone, but in fact it is a warning to the emperor not to say similar words.

Because four of the five Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the Minister of Rites who suddenly attacked this morning, were all old ministers of the Supreme Emperor's reign, if the emperor's words were just out, they would inevitably be suspected of reflecting the Supreme Emperor.

"Hmph~"

Emperor Longyuan snorted coldly, but did not bother with this topic anymore.

In fact, after years of observation, the Supreme Emperor was so serious that he could not see things because of his eye disease, even if he wanted to interfere with the government, Emperor Longyuan suffered a loss from those old and young people, but he would always have to think about this.

At this time, Dai Quan, the eunuch in the palace, came in with a tray and respectfully reminded: "Long live, it's time to use medicinal food."

Emperor Longyuan nodded slightly, turned around and sat on the Arhat bed. Dai Quan was about to come forward to serve him, Yuanchun smiled and stretched out and said, "Eunuch Dai, let me leave these things."

Dai Quan immediately presented medicinal food obediently and then quit outside the door with tactfulness.

Yuanchun put the medicinal food on the kang table and gently lifted the lid of the bowl. A fishy smell immediately came to her nose. She didn't know what it was inside, but she could roughly guess what was used to replenish the shape.

He calmly handed the spoon to Emperor Longyuan. Seeing the emperor frowned and scooped a spoonful, chewing it hard and swallowing it hard, he couldn't help but persuade him: "I heard that Your Majesty has used a lot of medicine recently, and he has made some folk remedies from outside the palace. Is this a bit inappropriate? Please take care of the dragon body as the best."

Dang ~

Emperor Longyuan threw the spoon into the medicinal meal and said angrily: "Do you think I like to eat these things? Not... Forget it, let Dai Quan take the memorial, I will review it with you today."

Yuanchun didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he quickly responded respectfully, went outside to ask Dai Quan for a cloth bag of memorials, and sent it respectfully to the emperor.

Emperor Longyuan did not reach out, but continued to endure the disgust and took the medicinal meal, while instructing: "Let's see if there is a Jiao Changqing's memorial. If so, read it to me."

This was a bit unconforming to the rules of the harem, but seeing that Emperor Longyuan's face was still gloomy, Yuanchun naturally did not dare to refuse. He silently untied the cloth bag and found Jiao Shun's memorial two days ago. He read it word by word in the candlelight beside him.

Because it was the hot summer season, his clothes were already thin, and Emperor Longyuan was not leaving for a long time. He suddenly came here without notifying him in advance. The fairy concubine had no decoration on her body. She stood in front of the lamp with a plain face facing the sky, and her body seemed to be wrapped in a circle of sacred halos.

The light shadow was falling in front of Emperor Longyuan's knees, and it swayed with the candlelight and suddenly looked like a gourd, and sometimes it looked like a S. It looked like it was not virtuous at all, but it was full of elegance everywhere.

In the past, Emperor Longyuan loved her body that was the opposite of her character, but now she seemed to have never seen her, focusing all her attention on Jiao Shun's memorial.

This memorial talks about how the picket team is established, operated, and what effect it will have in the future.

There is no need to say much about its role in the factory. There are also a few simple words in the memorial. At critical moments, local governments can mobilize pickets to serve as the support force of the army or yamen runners.

When Jia Yuanchun read this, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and his beautiful and dignified facial features suddenly became a little more heroic.

After hearing this, Emperor Longyuan praised Jiao Shun very much, especially the word "military-industrial alliance" and murmured: "This statement of military-industrial alliance is quite interesting. Since the matter of being a superior craftsman has been resisted among the civil officials, perhaps we can find another way to do this."

When Yuanchun heard this, her eyebrows frowned even tighter. After much patience, she couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty is in full swing, and you can always get what you want, so why bother to hurry up and for a while?"

"How can I not be in a hurry?"

Emperor Longyuan glanced at her and said passionately: "How many things are there, how many things are there, how many things are there, and it's always urgent; the world is changing, time is too long, ten thousand years are too long, just fight for... cough, cough cough!"

Because of his emotional excitement, he immediately touched his heart and coughed continuously before he could finish his recitation.

Seeing this, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly poured tea for him, but Emperor Longyuan waved his hand and refused, picked up the medicinal food on the table, gritted his teeth and poured half a bowl in.

After a while, he exhaled a heavy breath of fishy breath and shook his head and said, "The kings who have always guarded the achievements are mostly just a few lines of history. I must not be with these mediocre people, so I cannot compare with Taizu's great talent at the tiger occupies whale and swallows heroes. I also want to be a wise ruler in the reform of Zhongxing!"

As he said that, he gritted his teeth again: "I just regret that although I want to cheer up, these corrupt scholars who don't know the number of days are just hindering... Cough, cough cough~!"

With anger, he couldn't help but cough.

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand, walked around him and patted him gently, and advised softly: "Why should your Majesty be angry? Although the work show was led astray by them, Your Majesty's innovation in the Ministry of Works has shown results. No one can deny this, especially when it comes to establishing craftsmanship through elementary school, future generations must also record a lot of thoughts."

The anger in Emperor Longyuan's heart suddenly disappeared a lot after being scratched by Yuanchun's words. He subconsciously surrounded Jia Yuanchun's waist, letting her sit beside him, and said with a smug smile: "This is also a blessing for the beloved concubine. I pulled out Jiao Changqing from the grass-roots. It was just a step of leisure chess, but now it seems that it is God's will. I want him to help me revive Daxia!"

As he said that, he patted the memorial and sighed: "If there are more capable officials like Jiao Changqing, I will have no worries."

"Your Majesty is too proud of him."

Yuanchun hurriedly said: "Although there are some talented people in the market, most of them are selected in the imperial examination. Your Majesty must not give up on the food for today's affairs."

Jiao Shun came out of Rongguo Mansion, so she naturally had to avoid suspicion in front of the emperor. The more the emperor praised him, the more humble she was.

Therefore, Emperor Longyuan had long been tired of these words, but after Jia Yuanchun finished speaking the cliché, hesitated and reminded: "And the 'military and industrial alliance' mentioned by Chief Jiao, I always feel that something is wrong, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice and decide."

"What's wrong with this?"

Emperor Longyuan said disrespectfully: "The military generals and nobles were suppressed by the civil officials, let alone the craftsmen without roots? I hope that one day they will be able to compete with the civil officials. Then see how these corrupt scholars are arrogant and domineering!"

Seeing that Jia Yuanchun could not persuade him, he didn't say anything else.

He stood up and wanted to clean up the medicinal food. Unexpectedly, Emperor Longyuan said it was proud, and finally couldn't help but have evil thoughts. He hooked Yuanchun's waist and took her into his arms. While lowering his head and sniffing it carefully between her neck, he was tempted up and down.

Jia Yuanchun was not favored by the emperor for a long time, and now he was suddenly attacked. The plump and long body suddenly seemed to be soft and mud, lying in Emperor Longyuan's arms and panting.

Emperor Longyuan just used the thing that used to replenish the body, and then held this beauty in his arms and played with it freely. He felt very hot and could not help himself.

But when I was about to continue, I realized that the place where I should be excited about was as hot as a dead person, and there was no movement.

At that moment, Emperor Longyuan immediately felt as if he was poured with cold water. He subconsciously pushed Jia Yuanchun down on the Arhat bed, and stood up from the Arhat bed with panting and staring heavily.

Jia Yuanchun was pushed down on the Arhat bed, thinking that the emperor would need swords and shoes. He was ashamed for a moment and wanted to remind the emperor not to be rude. He should go to the inner bedroom to act cheaply.

But I think that since Emperor Longyuan was injured last year, he has never been close to the concubines in the harem for more than half a year. Now he has finally regained his strength, how can he discourage his interest?

So he did not talk about etiquette for the first time, but closed his eyes with a blushing face, waiting for the emperor to do whatever he wanted.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, she heard Emperor Longyuan say in a stern voice: "I, I... it's getting late, let's rest sooner, I should go back to Qianqing Palace to review the memorial."

After saying that, without waiting for Jia Yuanchun to react, he stumbled and snatched out of the door.

When Jia Yuanchun got up from the bed, he saw the door panel swaying from side to side, but there was no trace of Emperor Longyuan in the hall.
