After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 257
After letting the red sleeve go down, Yun Zhuo began to think about what Xie Jie wanted to do.

What is his intention for presenting paintings twice?
She unconsciously stroked the patterns on the brick wall with her hands, trying to recall whether any major events had happened during this period of her previous life.

Xie Jie is already the chief minister of the dynasty, a person with power over the world, every sneeze would make the capital tremble, his plot, no matter whether it is a person or a thing, must be big.

But no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't remember what major events had happened during this period of time.

At this time in her last life, she was constantly thinking about how to get a chance to marry Pei Yan. What she saw and heard in her eyes were all related to Pei Yan.Apart from him, there is no room for anything else.

She compromised and lay down on the table as if she had no bones, not wanting to think about it.

In short, let’s take a step at a time.No matter what Xie Jie wants to do, as long as it doesn't threaten her.

……

Prince Xin'an brought his worthless son to the imperial study room, but he had no intention of taking him in to face the saint, he just said: "You wait outside for the father, and the father will come out soon."

Zhang Ye lowered his eyes and said hello.

With the Imperial Study Room under heavy guard, Zhang Ye finally felt the majesty of the imperial palace.In the past, he heard the old man in the book talk about how impenetrable the palace was, but he still didn't believe it, but now seeing the unsmiling, upright and mighty imperial guards, he finally felt a little in awe of the most noble man in the world.

But only a little bit.

Young people are pure in mind. They want to be heroes, not because they are admired by all people and praised by later generations, but because they like to rob the rich and help the poor, and save the suffering.Similarly, Zhang Ye's fear of the emperor was not because of the power in his hands. He was born in Xin'an County, and his old father was the native emperor of Xin'an County. He grew up steeped in power, so he disdained it very much.He feared the emperor because he feared the Imperial Forest Army.

Inside the imperial study.

The king of the county took out a rolled-up picture scroll from his wide sleeve. When the emperor saw it, he glanced at Fang Ruyi who was standing beside him.Fang Ruyi understood, walked down the steps, came to the king of the county, held the scroll in both hands and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the picture scroll, and he heard the king of the county say slowly: "In the Jin Dynasty, Wang Zhi fell to Shishi Mountain when he saw the old man counting people playing chess and singing. He listened to him because of the quality. I don’t feel hungry. After a while, the old man said: Why don’t you go? The quality is up, and the ax and Ke are all rotten. After returning, there will be no one to return to.”

This is an allusion that Daye people are familiar with.The emperor didn't think there was anything outstanding about this painting because of this, but because he liked Zheng Shilan's painting style, and he had thought a lot about Zheng Shilan's paintings in private, so he recognized whose painting it was at a glance.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the king of the county say: "I got this painting from the general's tomb in Shishishan, which shows that the emperor governs the people well and cares about work at night."

"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "How do you say that?"

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, flattery does not wear.The king of the county recited these words silently in his heart, and said solemnly: "Therefore, there was a general of Chu who bought wine with a thousand gold, and got a white rainbow sword from the wine shop. After that, he opened mountains and seas with one sword, opened up Kyushu, and became the world here; The king of Han rode a white horse, went west to Hangu Pass, and realized the way of the sages. He could solve the ambiguity with a single word. Now, in the general's tomb that has been abandoned for a hundred years, he only got this painting. The painting is a metaphor for the way of longevity. , want to be king?"

The emperor knew he was talking nonsense.

People below are always like this, if they have a way to get something unusual, they always like to associate these things with the virtues of heaven.This kind of formation, the emperor has gone through fifty if not one hundred times.The most exaggerated thing is that once when the local county magistrate dug up a half-human-sized pebble while cleaning the river, it was actually handed over layer by layer, and it was going to be sent to him, and he was talking about the nonsense of diving into the abyss and flying nine days.

But this time, he had to admit that the king of the county had touched his heart.

He had no doubt that some news had leaked from the palace, and there were only a handful of people in the palace who knew what he had sent someone to do.And the few people who know the inside story are all his trustworthy people. For decades, they will not betray the master easily.

But even so, the expression on his face did not loosen at all, but became more serious: "The way of longevity? It's just illusory. There are hundreds of generations in the world, but people only live one life. I like the painting very much, so I accept it. As for the other things, the king of the county will not mention it in the future."

The county king quickly said yes.

Originally, he just wanted the emperor to accept the painting, and everyone knew it was just a rumor about Changsheng or Lanke, but now he brought it up and said it, just because it happened that the painting was from the canon of Lanke.

In this case, it is enough to say it once, and it is too false to say it a second time, even if the emperor does not say it, he will not say more.

Both of them thought that the other was thinking like themselves, and they looked at each other tacitly, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

Now that the business is over, it's time to talk about fun.

The emperor put the painting aside, and said: "I have already ordered the Secretary of the Jiaofang to clean up the dust for you and Ye'er in the evening. I remember that Ye'er has also reached the weak crown this year, right? Haven't married a wife yet?"

It can be seen that the people's sentiments in Daye are basically the same. Middle-aged men who have children will not ignore these three points after dinner: how old are the children, what are they doing, whether they are married or have children.

Even the emperor is not immune.

The king of the county knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry until he heard him ask such a question, and then he sighed: "The emperor doesn't know something, my son is incompetent, and he has no fame until now. There is a name of the prince of the county to support her face. Which girl is willing to marry him? Originally thought that after 20 years of hard work, she would be able to abdicate, have grandchildren, and take care of her for the rest of her life, but she wasted all these years , In the end, I didn't even see my daughter-in-law."

"If his mother knows it, she should have pointed at me in a dream." He smiled wryly, pretending to be relaxed.

In addition to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, the two have a classmate relationship.At that time, the emperor was not yet the emperor, but just a prince with little reputation. He studied in Xin'an, and thus met the prince of the county. He also made the decision and married the second lady of the prince's mansion, who is now Concubine Jing.

With such an intricate relationship, the county king was not so restrained in front of the emperor.

The emperor was used to being flattered by others, and when he suddenly heard these complaints from him, he was not only not angry, but was moved by the memory of his teenage years in Xin'an.

Thinking about all the things today, he said: "Why is this? I remember that there is a vacancy in Dali Temple, so how about letting Ye'er work in Dali Temple?"
