stand back, let me come

Chapter 1200: Kangguo is the toughest [ask for monthly ticket]

Tan Ting was unexpectedly obedient.

At school, he is the teacher's favorite good boy.

Shen Tang sighed: [It doesn't match his face at all. ]

Qishan had been in a bad mood these days. When he heard the word "Tan Ting", he became stressed and started to get angry like a cat.

【What doesn't match? 】

Shen Tang said: [To put it in a stereotypical way, he looks like someone who can stir up a bloody storm, but in the end—he is surprisingly quiet and obedient, only occasionally making some shocking remarks—]

Compared to Qishan, he is really so well behaved.

[Come to think of it, I haven't seen Yuan Liang himself yet.] She was very curious about what the real Tan Qu would look like, and whether the judgment that appearance is determined by the heart is accurate. [If you don't want to, I won't force you.]

Qi Shan’s face was as dark as the ash at the bottom of a pot.

The back teeth were grinding with a creaking sound: [The master will be disappointed when he sees this, and - can you please not teach him weird things? It's hard to say about others, but Tan Mengyuan can really learn. ]

Qishan has been forced to stay everywhere for several days.

Shen Tang reflected on himself: [I didn’t teach him anything. ]

Qi Shan suddenly showed an indescribable expression.

There were some things he didn't even dare to say.

In the past, Tan Ting bathed in the wild everywhere, at least in the deep mountains and old forests where few people went. As long as the people who accidentally peeped in did not have bad intentions, Tan Ting would not kill them. Now that his cultivation has improved, he seems to be less dependent on this behavior. He has changed!

I just change to casually wearing a thin gauze dress at home!

But the problem is that this is Qi Yuanliang’s temporary residence!

As a bad guest living under someone else's roof, can't Tan Ting have a little sense of being a guest? Qi Shan went back to get something, and when he opened the door, he saw someone with his back to the door. Ru Zao's black hair was loose and shawled, leaning against the armrest, lazily leaning against the mirror and feeling sorry for herself.

The robe was not very thick and the outline under the robe could be vaguely seen. Qi Shan felt numb on the spot.

[Tan Mengyuan! You——]

  It's simply offensive!

He needs an adjective more serious than the collapse of moral principles and music!

Qi Shan's movement interrupted Tan Ting's admiration of the person in the mirror. He turned his head lazily and said, "Mr. Shen said that narcissism should be based on comfort. I felt that my clothes were restricting me today, so I wore a few fewer pieces. This is also indoors, not in broad daylight, so what's wrong with that?"

Qishan: [You, you...]

For the first time in my life, I was so angry that I forgot the words.

Tan Ting bent one leg, sat up straight, let go of the mirror, and murmured to himself: [The person in the mirror is indeed worthy of pity. ]

Pray for good: [……]

This is all the Lord’s fault!

If Tan Ting's brain disease was more serious, it is hard to say whether he would not learn from Ni Heng to beat the drum naked and run around naked. Qi Shan once again decided that friends were more seriously ill than enemies.

Tan Ting's eyes, full of brilliance, saw through Qi Shan's thoughts and sneered: [I don't have the leisure to invite the gossip of the worldly people. People who can appreciate and understand will read it, but if the worldly people who don't understand read it——]

There was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

[Don't you want those eyes in your eye sockets? ]

You can't think that he is a weakling just because he has a good-looking appearance. His sword is sharper than Qi Shan's.

Pray for good: [……]

Faced with Qi Shan's series of accusations, Shen Tang reflected on himself.

With a guilty conscience, he promised: [Hey, I'll try my best.]

Qi Shan also knew that Shen Tang's assurances were useless, but it was better than nothing: [I just hope his madness will pass soon. ]

As long as he is not at peace, Qishan will be tormented all day.

  This day is simply unbearable!

Adhering to the principle of "a friend's death is better than my death", Shen Tang did not take up the topic and changed the subject: "Although Tan Mengyuan is your friend, he is also a captive of Zhen State. When his retreat is over, you need to arrange a place for him. I don't know much about him, and I am afraid that I will neglect him if I arrange him too low. Qian Shuhe also said that his spiritual power is very unique... I think he is the talent mentioned by Wei Lou. He can make up for Kang State's shortcomings in this area. However, he has not made any contribution after all. If he is treated too well, it will be difficult to convince others. 】

This matter is not easy to discuss with others, Qishan is the best person.

If Tan Ting was not a prisoner, he would not be in trouble.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the surrendered generals and soldiers who joined later to get along with the direct line of veterans, and they often disliked each other.

There aren't many signs on Shen Tang's side, but we still have to take them into consideration.

Qishan said: [This is not difficult.]

Because that’s Tan Ting’s personality.

He said seriously: [If the Lord wants to use him and hone him, he can start from the local level. If he goes directly to the capital and works in the capital, he can also go to the Ministry of Rites or the Imperial History Bureau. If the Ministry of Revenue is short of people, he can also go to the Ministry of Revenue first...]

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are not mentioned.

Shen Tang frowned and asked: [Can’t go to the Ministry of War? ]

The Ministry of War is now managed by Jiang Sheng. In the past two years, there have been many large and small battles, and the Ministry of War is also short of people. Tan Ting's family rumor spirit can play a unique role in front of the battlefield. He is definitely a hot talent in the Ministry of War. With Xiandeng's temper, he will not resist Tan Ting. It should be the most ideal buffer channel for Tan Ting to integrate into Kangguo. Shen Tang prefers the Ministry of War.

Qi Shan said: [Don’t you know? ]

Shen Tang asked inexplicably: [Know what? ]

Qishan looked strange.

[Tan Mengyuan hates war, so he still practices the way of non-contention.]

There is nothing wrong with letting Tan Ting go to the Ministry of War, but it is difficult to expect that he will love this job. If it were not for his war-weariness, he would not have been able to learn the family's rumored spiritual practice so well.

Shen Tang: [……]

After a long while, she managed to utter the word [6].

Shen Tang scratched his head: [How can you tell this? Before, Gong Xichou knew that I recruited Tan Mengyuan, and he said that this person's aura was disgusting and he didn't like him very much. This shows that Tan Mengyuan did use special words to suppress Gong Xichou's performance. ]

We were on the battlefield at that time.

Tan Ting appeared on the battlefield, and then he was tired of war?

Qishan said: [This is not a conflict. ]

Literati are an extremely contradictory yet logically self-consistent group, and Tan Ting is just a typical example of them.

Shen Tang: [……]

Qishan has reasons to think so.

[Tan Mengyuan's state of mind is not yet completely perfect. It is not very safe for him to stay in the Ministry of War. It is fine for him to stay in a place like the Ministry of Rites. It will not affect the overall situation and will allow him to slowly adapt.]

Shen Tang thought about it seriously: [That's fine.]

but--

She remembered something else: [The Minister of Rites is still in charge of Gong Su. Are you sure you can survive if these two meet? ]

Although Qin Li and Qi Shan have reconciled, he will not let Qi Shan go if he can. When the Censorate stepped on Qi Shan, Qin Li also stabbed him several times. To be more precise, it was Qi Shan's enemies who seemed to have telepathy and took turns to stab him. This time it was Qin Li, next time it will be Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen...

Half of the apparent harmony in the Kangguo court was due to Qishan.

He alone attracted 30% to 40% of the hatred.

If they occasionally went too far, Shen Tang was afraid that they would draw swords and fight in the court, put sacks on each other in private, and never have anything to do with each other again.

Obviously, this is impossible.

No matter how big the quarrel is, it will not affect our vacation and travel together.

  _(:з　∠)_

Shen Tang once suspected that the Censorate's comment about Qi Shan's frivolous words to Qin Li was Qi Shan's means of revenge. It really felt like a quarrel between elementary school kids. Qi Shan suggested that Tan Ting go to the Ministry of Rites. Isn't this sending Gong Su a teammate for the [Anti-Qi Yuanliang Alliance]?

Qi Shan paused, then said: [What are you afraid of? ]

Shen Tang shook his head helplessly, and said jokingly with a smile: [Tsk, if the sky of Kangguo collapses in the future, there will be Yuanliang's mouth to support it. ] This is definitely one of the hardest things in Kangguo!

Pray for good: [……]

The matter of Zhenguo was finally settled before the New Year, and Shen Tang led his troops back to the capital Fengluo almost at the end of the year.

"Huh - I thought I would miss it and have to celebrate the New Year halfway." Shen Tang didn't pursue material things, and she could celebrate the New Year anywhere, but she couldn't ignore the demands of the court officials. She was a bachelor who could feed the whole family, but others were not like that.

After rushing and hurrying, I finally got back.

Because they arrived early, Shen Tang specifically told the court officials not to make a big fuss, and to treat it as an ordinary day, and to enter the city quietly, so as not to disturb the livelihood of the common people. In view of Tan Ting's special identity, he was finally arranged to stay at Qishan's house.

Qi Shan: "...No, why?"

His requests were ruthlessly ignored.

After entering the city, Shen Tang made some simple arrangements and let everyone go. Those who needed to take a vacation took a vacation, and those who needed to prepare for the New Year prepared for the New Year. As the lord, she still needed to deal with the government affairs that had accumulated before one by one. Although she arranged for Qin Li, Gu Chi and others to supervise the country and assist in the administration, there were always some things that they could not do for her.

The more important ones were all sent to the front of the formation for Shen Tang to deal with, and some unimportant ones were left for later processing.

In addition to these, Shen Tang also took a look at the annual gifts given to various officials and personally wrote some auspicious words to reward important officials.

There is still a lot to do at the end of the year.

"Alas, the position of the king is really not for humans."

These matters also require the participation of the Ministry of Rites. As one of the important ministers who supervises the country, Qin Li also needs to report to Shen Tang, so he just does the two things at the same time. Looking at the red paper on the table and the master whose wrist hurts from writing, he said, "The master is an extraordinary person."

Shen Tang said: "That's right, I'm probably not a human being."

Normal cattle and horses simply don’t have her kind of endurance.

  You have to know that she is not opening one account now, but three - not only is Kangguo a big business, but there are also branches in the other two places operating quietly. These are not a problem for Niu Ma!

Shen Tang gave Qin Li a shot of prevention in advance.

She wanted to send someone to the Ministry of Rites and focus on training and employing him.

Qin Li silently wrote down: "I don't know your name?"

Shen Tang said: "His name is Tan Ting, Tan..."

Qin Li took the opportunity to ask, "Tan Mengyuan?"

Shen Tang paused for a moment, the ink almost ruining her blessing character, and continued writing: "Gong Su, do you know Tan Mengyuan?"

Qin Li shook his head: "I don't know him, but I've heard of him."

Tan Ting's ancestral home is in the Central Continent, which is far away from Qin Li's ancestral home. In addition, Tan Ting has lived in seclusion for many years and has not had much reputation in the literary circle. Even though he joined the Society of Gods, he has not had much contact with Qin Li. "When have you heard of it?"

I asked this question, but I have the answer in my heart.

Qin Li said: "Qi Yuanliang mentioned it back then."

Shen Tang had no expression on his face, and thought to himself: [As expected.]

She continued to write: "This person's personality seems a little peculiar at first glance, but after getting to know him better, he is also a wonderful person."

The fact that Tan Ting, like Qin Li, had a conflict with Qi Shan was enough to bring the two closer together and form a united front alliance.

Hearing Shen Tang's praise for Tan Ting, Qin Li didn't ask any more questions.

We will soon serve in the same court, so we will meet each other when we look up.

There will be plenty of time to get to know the other person later.

But I didn’t expect this time to come so soon.

Qin Li stayed in the inner court until the moon was at its highest point before leaving. He had some matters to discuss with Qi Shan. Tan Ting was a member of the sect in the Gods Association, which happened to be the most needed territory in Kangguo.

Is there really no coincidence in this?

It was like a pillow hitting me when I dozed off.

He wanted to get the upper hand from Qishan so that he would have an idea of ​​whether to keep a close eye on Tan Ting or trust him completely in the future.

Although visiting at night was impolite, Qin Li felt no guilt for visiting Qi Yuanliang. The housekeeper took Qin Li to the study to wait, but he didn't expect that there was already someone in the study.

Under the candlelight, someone was flipping through the scrolls with great interest. Qin Li had seen these scrolls before. They had been read countless times by their owners, and even the rough corners had been rubbed smooth and there were many comments and notes on them. Qin Li did not deliberately hide his aura.

The person under the candle looked back quietly.

He smiled and said, “This seems to be an important place in the study.”

Qin Li took off the fox cloak, and the steward lit a few more lamps. The light displeased the cats that were taking a nap on the bookcase. They stretched their bodies, yawned loudly, and used the bookcase to sharpen their claws: "Which family's study room is so important that cat slaves can make a nest?"

It would be strange that Qi Yuanliang would put important things in the study.

Qin Li has no psychological burden every time he comes.

He asked, "Tan Mengyuan?"

Tan Ting put down the letter and said, "Who is my dear husband?"

"Qin Li, Qin Gongsu, the Minister of Rites."

He is also Tan Ting's future boss.

Qin Li found a corner not too far away and sat down, not wanting to get too close to strangers. Tan Ting took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard that Minister Qin is a perfect scholar, can I ask him a few questions?"

Tan Ting still disliked men, but Qin Li was an exception.

The whole body is majestic, elegant and refined.

He was as beautiful as a pine tree, as snow and as gentle as the wind, without any of the filth of an ordinary man.

Qin Li frowned and asked, "Heard? Who told you that?"

  Can we just say casually that the way of a scholar is perfect?

Haha, Qi Yuanliang is really a dog!

Tan Ting didn't expect that he neither agreed nor refused, and his first reaction was to ask this. He was stuck for a moment, and his smile became a little more awkward: "I didn't hear anyone say it, I just felt it."

"I heard" and "it is said" are just polite excuses.

Qin Li's expression eased a little: "I don't deserve your advice."

The first thing Qishan did when he got home was to visit the cats in the yard. Seeing that every one of them was shiny and plump, he felt very satisfied. He picked out his favorite ones and fed them dried fish. He also asked the housekeeper what had happened in the mansion while he was away. After he had dealt with everything, he gave them a simple bath, changed into new clothes, and prepared to go to the study to pet the cats.

"Parent, Minister Qin is here."

"Qin Gongsu? What is he doing here?"

Every time Qin Li comes to visit, nothing good happens.

When he opened the study, he saw Qin Li and Tan Ting sitting opposite each other, discussing the Dao and exchanging spiritual thoughts. They didn't even respond to the noise...

Qi Shan took a step back and glanced at the plaque on the study.

No, this seems to be his home, right?

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Yesterday I said that the widowed king has no love line, which means he has no personal love line. There are so many arrows in the monarch-subject line/friendship line/enemy line that they can poke a person into a sieve.

PS: Apart from the main characters and CP, the supporting characters, except for those who have families, the others are all considered based on their personalities and the plot before we see if there is any possibility.

Qishan, or Tan Qu, before Qishan's death, he actually still longed for a normal family, but after Qishan's death, it was basically impossible.

In his heart, he is carrying the lives of two people on his shoulders. He cannot feel at ease to get married, have children, start a family, and achieve what is considered perfection in the eyes of the world.

This should have been Qishan's life, not Tanqu's.

Plus, he desperately wants trust, and other people (including enemies and friends) can't stand him at all_(:з」∠)_. He got married? It's too harmful.
