Ye Chunqiu was also drunk. He felt that he shouldn't let Zhu Houzhao continue to mess around like this, so he raised his face and said solemnly: "Your Majesty should stop at the right time."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu and saw that Ye Chunqiu had a serious look on his face, and there was no room for negotiation.

Some things should have a bottom line no matter what. Ye Chunqiu has his own principles.

Otherwise, what is the difference between myself and Liu Jin?

Zhu Houzhao's expression couldn't help but dim. Seeing Ye Chunqiu's eyes were aggressive and with an undeniable light, he hurriedly avoided it, but he was not angry, so he had to say, "I'm just a chance. Okay, okay, don't get angry. Look at you like this, it's like I'm your father-killing enemy, but I have a small request."

A small request...

Ye Chunqiu was stunned and said, "Please give me instructions."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu, and his eyes showed a little gleam, and said, "I have to worry about Ye Aiqing going to Taimiao again. He always asked Master Liu and the others to keep a document. If he regrets and breaks his promise, I can always leave some evidence."

"..." Ye Chunqiu was completely impressed and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you should forget it. Mr. Liu is still good at being a good person, and you should be confident."

Zhu Houzhao looked depressed and finally said helplessly: "Why don't you have the same heart as me? Let's just leave... Everything is up to you, go and go with me to sacrifice. Oh♂t I almost forgot. Since I have been granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo, it is time to build the Duke of Zhenguo. This is another sum of silver, but I can talk about it later. Where can I find a good place."

He ordered people to wear a crown of heaven on him, and then hurried to Taimiao with a group of people.

Someone came here to report the news first. Liu Jian brought all the officials to greet him. Then, Zhu Houzhao took the officials through the numerous ritual gates and began to sacrifice.

The whole etiquette was extremely long. When he was reciting the sacrificial text, Zhu Houzhao looked like he had eaten a fly. It was originally fine, but now he understood it, and he could imagine his mood.

In the evening, Ye Chunqiu followed the officials out of the Taimiao with his fatigue, but he did not rush home. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and officials can take a half-month vacation. Ye Chunqiu arrived in front of the Xie family. When Xie Qian's sedan chair arrived in front of the door, Ye Chunqiu stepped forward and said respectfully: "The official has met Mr. Xie."

Xie Qian lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that it was Ye Chunqiu, and his attitude was still gentle: "Oh, is it Chunqiu? Is there anything wrong?"

Ye Chunqiu pursed her lips: "Let's just go inside and talk."

This time, Xie Qian unexpectedly did not turn Ye Chunqiu off his shoulders, and directly led him into the flower hall of the Xie family.

Xie Qian sat on the front seat of the flower hall, looked at Ye Chunqiu with a light smile, saying, "Why, do you miss your future wife again?"

He felt that Ye Chunqiu had to break the window paper, and Ye Chunqiu had to blush. Who knew that Ye Chunqiu was surprisingly calm: "Mr. Xie, the lower official told me something. The matter of the ruler was planned by the lower official. Although the lower official had no choice, he thought that since His Majesty had made up his mind, it would be better to fulfill his wish. The lower official died ten thousand times, and he would also ask Xie Gong to punish him."

Ye Chunqiu was hesitant and decided to come and treat each other honestly. It was not because he was uneasy, but because he was feeling uncomfortable.

When Xie Qian heard this, he was furious and stared at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Okay, I also said, why did Your Majesty suddenly become so clever? It turns out that it is you. I am really blind. Where have you read the saints' books? What's the difference between you and the greedy minister like this? Fortunately, you are still Hanlin, you...you..."

Xie Qian was so angry that he felt a little uncomfortable when he said something. After pausing for a moment, he continued: "Do you know that Mr. Liu almost got angry to death for this matter. You kid... you bad boy."

After scolding her, Xie Qian also became real fire. Ye Chunqiu just stood up and did not defend herself.

Then, Xie Qian had a cold face, glared at Ye Chunqiu for a long time, and snorted again, and said, "Who else knows about this?"

Ye Chunqiu bowed and said, "Only Mr. Xie and the lower officials know."

"Oh..." Xie Qian sighed, looking at Ye Chunqiu with a grudge and said, "No one is allowed to say this matter. Chunqiu, you are a Hanlin, not another identity. This reputation is more important than your life. If someone asks you in the future, you are not allowed to reveal a word."

Suddenly, his anger seemed to disappear suddenly, his face became deeper, he pressed his head, thought for a while, then looked at Ye Chunqiu again and said, "You have compassion for the emperor, right? Actually..."

Xie Xueshi, who has always been prone to anger, showed a mysterious look: "In fact, although the emperor is naughty, the others are good. He is not bad in nature and is not bad in nature. He does have a lot of talents, but... you must understand that he is the emperor. It is precisely because he is the emperor that he cannot do whatever he wants. The Duke of the State is just a small nonsense and does not suffer any losses to the court, but the most important thing is that he cannot set a precedent. In the Spring and Autumn Period, I am the Grand Secretary, so I will ask you, whose Grand Secretary I am?"

Xie Qian turned to protect himself and kept his mouth shut, which surprised Ye Chunqiu.

However, Xie Qian's words were also very affectionate and said, "Of course it's Your Majesty..."

Xie Qian shook his head and sighed quietly, "Yes, no, the name is true, but have you ever thought about what if Your Majesty is contrary to the interests of scholars in the world? Then where should I stand? Standing on Your Majesty, I am a greedy minister and a traitor. Although I can enjoy a temporary happiness and a temporary blessing, sooner or later, I will eventually lose my hoarseness and fall off my horse because of the support of the people. I will return to my hometown to retire. Can local officials and gentry come easily? If I die one day, will there be disciples who dare to come to pay tribute? My descendants will only be made fun of me. Look, whose cabinet bachelor do you think I am now?"

His simple words revealed the key to the problem.

Being an official... is temporary. Although you can get temporary benefits, the disasters left are endless.

"Now, I know why so many Qingliu in the court want to sell their names. Alas, they lost the black hat, but they got the opportunity to keep their name in history and be admired by thousands of people. Chunqiu, sometimes following the wishes of Your Majesty, it is okay to do it occasionally, but you have to think twice before doing anything. I know that you may not want to please, but you should be more steadily in your life." Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply and continued, "Don't insult your mentor's reputation, do you understand?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Yes."
