Work overtime

Chapter 588 Caught off guard
When it was almost time for dinner, the emperor suddenly asked Mr. Xie if he could write.

Xie Guiren was flattered. After trying to calm down, he calmed down and wrote the word "pity".

Li Beichen looked at it and found that the writing was ordinary. He asked lightly, "Yeah. Very good. What do you mean by the word pity? Does it mean pity or pity?"

Xie Guiren quickly knelt on the ground and blushed, "I hope to gain His Majesty's mercy."

Li Beichen gave a noncommittal "hmm". He was far worse than Jiang Yuebai, and far worse than He Fei.

"If this is pity, then who do you think is the most pitiable among the women in the harem?" Li Beichen's expression remained unchanged, as if he was chatting normally.

"This" Xie Cairen had no experience in confronting big leaders, so he was completely confused at this time. She only wanted to make the emperor pity her, so she wrote this word obsessively, but she didn't know that she got into it and dug a hole for herself.

After being stunned for a moment, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said pitifully, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I was wrong."

Xie Guiren wore a tea-white dress today, with a Japanese-style bun, and a jade-colored butterfly swaying on the side. The whole person looked delicate and gentle.

Her mother told her that when she doesn't know what to do, a woman should use softness to overcome strength and show weakness to win people's love.

Only Li Beichen had seen Zhen Jieyu's fragile and pitiful demeanor, and he was disgusted by such pretentiousness, which was like a dodder flower.

Li Beichen looked at Xie Cairen for a while and asked casually, "Then do you think Chen Xuanshi is pitiful?"

In fact, no matter what words Xie Guiren writes, it will eventually lead to this problem. The leader may seem to be making choices for you, but in fact all choices will ultimately come to one point. That's what leaders care about.

Xie Guiren hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer. No matter how he answered, it seemed that everything was wrong. After all, she was the one closest to Chen Xuanshi.

After a long time, he finally answered bravely, "Concubine. Concubine, I couldn't tell the difference between jade and stone before. Concubine, I know that I was wrong."

Li Beichen knocked on the table gently, and the table made a dull and rhythmic sound.

"Since Concubine Jing was thrown into the cold palace, as her most intimate person, have you ever visited her?"

Xie Guiren's legs went weak instantly. There are appetizers in the front, but this one is the real treat.

Is Ye Suhua's accompanying driving method the same? Are you playing truth or dare?
She plopped down on her knees, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. It was unclear whether the emperor wanted her to visit or not.

"Have you seen her?" Li Beichen looked down at Xie Guiren with a very calm tone.

"Back to the emperor, I have no concubines." Xie Guiren stammered, "Chen Chenxuan is the daughter of a treacherous minister. She is a liaison with foreign enemies. She deserves what she deserves."

Li Beichen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, put down his green glaze cup, and looked at Waiter Xie Xuan:

"Chen Xuan doesn't treat others well, but he treats you well. She arranged for you to be able to sleep with you and for the spices on your body. Don't you have any intention of repaying your kindness?"

Is the emperor testing the loyalty of their family? After all, her father was the commander of Shaanxi Province.

She would not be so stupid as to be related to treason and the family's future.

Xie Guiren calmed down and said with great difficulty, "Your Majesty clearly knows that Chen Xuan serves her... She has been taking advantage of me. I was confused for a while, so I was used by her."

"Are you trying to distance yourself from the relationship?" Li Beichen asked in a deep voice, but his voice was very calm, not like he was questioning, "That's not what you said at that time."

"I am blind, and I don't know the difference between jade and stone, but I really don't know anything about the Chen family's rebellion." Xie Guiren knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

The thin pendant on Xie Guiren's head started to shake as well.

She realized that no matter how she answered, she was already in trouble because of her previous close association with Chen.

And this concerns my own family. Everyone knows that although their father's surname is Xie, he has always been at odds with the Protector's lineage.

The atmosphere was very serious and subtle.

Li Beichen picked up the celadon cup and stared at the luster of the cup, "I remember that your father and the Protector came from the same lineage of Xie Jin in Jiangnan, but they have never been at odds with each other. The Protector's family is loyal to me, and they are extremely loyal to me. The Queen even said Sacrifice yourself for your country.”

When talking about the latter part, Li Beichen's voice lowered.

Ningxia Prefecture is affiliated to Shaanxi Province, but Ningxia happened to have a large-scale rebellion just before the rebellion from all directions. Not only the governor of Ningxia Prefecture was killed, but also the chief military officer of Ningxia Prefecture was killed. There were repeated command errors in the suppression of the Ningxia rebellion, which have not yet been resolved.

It is the most urgent matter at present.

Li Beichen plans to replace the commander of Shaanxi Daodu.

As a commander, Xie Guiren's father, Xie Yuanzhi, was resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He was quite prestigious in the army and was a rare good general. But before that, he belonged to the Chen family and supported the former prince.

According to two secret reports, Xie Yuanzhi had many effective strategies to pacify the Ningxia government, but they were repeatedly rejected by superior commanders, resulting in repeated mistakes and the loss of fighter jets. He did not collude secretly with Chen Xiang.

At present, the country is still unstable, has social unrest, and lacks talents. At this time, if we exterminate all Xiang Chen and his party, it will trigger a panic to protect ourselves, which will easily lead to unpredictable turmoil.

Xie Yuanzhi made the wrong choice before, but he is indeed a rare talent, and he did not join the wrong team this time. Li Beichen decided to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in stabilizing the overall situation while demoting talents in an eclectic way, sending a signal to those who had not chosen to support him in the past.

Let's forget about the past, what matters is who we are loyal to now and whether it is of value to the court.

But Li Beichen will definitely not show these inner plans externally.

Xie Guiren could no longer hold on, and hugged Li Beichen's thigh with his knees, "Your Majesty, I and my family really have no idea about the Chen family's rebellion. Although my father and I are not on good terms with the Protector, they are absolutely loyal to the emperor. There is absolutely no second intention. Please ask the Emperor for clear advice."

Li Beichen sneered: "You have close ties with the Chen family and are Chen's minion. Your father used to seek refuge with Chen Ang to support the former prince. You want to fool me just because you don't know the difference between gold and stone?"

Xie Guiren collapsed on the ground, straightened up again, hugged Li Beichen's thigh, and begged. "Your Majesty, please believe me. My death is not a big deal. But I swear to God, I knew nothing about the Chen family's rebellion. My father was confused and did something wrong in the past, but after Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, my father I am loyal to the emperor and have no second thoughts. I definitely did not participate in the rebellion this time."

Li Beichen did not comment, stood up, looked at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, and said lightly, "How do you expect me to believe it?"

Xie Guiren regained her composure instantly. The emperor had something to ask her to do and hand over the certificate of surrender.

"I am willing to do my best for the Emperor."

"Since you begged me, I will give you the Xie family one last chance." Li Beichen said coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Thank you, noble man, and kowtow repeatedly.

Li Beichen was silent for a long time, seeming to think carefully.

Finally, he told Liang Xiaobao, who was waiting in the corner, "Pass dinner. After dinner, please make arrangements for me and Mr. Xie to go to the Imperial Garden to relax."

After saying that, Xie Guiren stood up.

Xie Guiren seemed to be in a cloud, looking at the word "pity" that had dried on the table, in a daze.

Did the emperor let her and her father go?
As if reading Guiren Xie's thoughts, Li Beichen said immediately, "From now on, you will do as I tell you in the harem."

Mr. Xie quickly saluted again, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Beichen picked up the dried calligraphy on the table and looked sideways at Xie Guiren; "This calligraphy is well written. I will order it to be framed and hung in your palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the two had dinner, Li Beichen ordered Xie Guiren to sit on the chariot with him. Xie Guiren knew that this move would definitely arouse jealousy and hurt others, but he had no choice but to do it.

Xie Guiren sat next to the emperor, his nose filled with ambergris and man's breath, making him dizzy.

She couldn't help but think of the time when the concubine and the emperor shared a chariot, with Jiang Yuebai galloping behind.

That time she looked at it from a distance, dreaming of one day being able to sit on the chariot and sit next to the emperor. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Those fears of being jealous were thrown out of the sky, and my heart was filled with great joy while being frightened.

The news that the emperor and Xie Guiren took a chariot together and visited the imperial garden at night spread quickly.

Because there is a curfew in the palace, even if everyone knows about it, no one dares to go out and have a chance encounter with the emperor.

We all went on a night out together, so naturally I would like to thank you for sleeping with me tonight.

Many of the concubines who were still holding the emperor's sign fell asleep after hearing the news.

Shunbi rubbed her waist that was about to break and was so jealous. Why did she spend the two days with him in the royal study, grinding away at ink, and didn't get this kind of treatment?

I remembered that I had reprimanded Guiren Xie for the manuscript of the morning meeting a few days ago, and I felt a little uneasy. I was worried that Guiren Xie would accuse her and say bad things about her at the emperor's pillow.

Putao, the palace maid next to her, advised, "My Majesty, you don't have to be angry for a nobleman like her. Your Majesty is now the official empress in charge of Jingyang Palace. Don't worry, your Majesty, no matter how proud she is, she is just a nobleman. She has to obey your control and listen to your orders." "

Concubine Shun knew this was true, but she just couldn't bear it.

Why does she work overtime with the leader every day just to work as a coolie, while Xie Guiren works overtime just to go out with the leader.

This isn't fair. Very unfair.

His face still looked bad.

Seeing that this trick didn't work, Putao used another trick, "The weather is so hot, and mosquitoes are everywhere in the imperial garden. Your Majesty is not taking Mr. Xie to play, but to feed the mosquitoes."

This made Concubine Shun laugh, "You are so sharp-tongued that you can make people happy. As long as the emperor can't bite, Mr. Xie won't be able to bite."

However, this statement reminded Concubine Shun of the specially made screen door of Ning'an Palace.

Sitting in Ning'an Palace, there really aren't many mosquitoes. It's easy to move around. I heard that Concubine Jianing ordered it to be made to order.

Concubine Shun wants to install them all in her palace. This eliminates the need to burn a large amount of moxa sticks every evening to smoke out mosquitoes, which will make your eyes full of tears and leave a burning smell in the house.

The emperor and Xie Guiren didn't go to the Imperial Garden for long, and they walked and talked by the lake. Surprisingly, the emperor sent someone to take Xie Guiren back to Jingyang Palace, and he returned to Qinzheng Palace alone.

When Jiang Yuebai heard the news, he was happily petting the cat and staring at the lush asparagus on the table.

She just said "hmm" and had no further reaction.

The position of emperor is really hard. After being squeezed during the day, you have to continue to work hard at night. No one in the production team works so hard.

Fortunately, I am only twenty years old, so I am still young.

Jiang Yuebai woke up early today and finished the third to last lesson of the AI ​​Go course in one go, as well as finishing the practical exercises after class.

The last two lessons are about strategic and tactical issues in practical application. Translated into human language, it is a summary, explanation and analysis of previous exam questions, which is equivalent to a general review in the last two weeks of the college entrance examination. So this is the stage where true skills are truly tested.

Don't rush, take your time.

She was looking forward to playing a game with the emperor to see how good she was and at the same time, surprise the opponent.
