Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 522

When the emperor went to Jinxiu Palace, Concubine Kong happened to have just received a letter from Mrs. Kong, and was about to send someone to the Imperial Study to pay her respects.Seeing the emperor coming, Concubine Kong came out to greet him with a smile, and said with a smile: "No wonder the magpies on the magnolia trees in the palace keep screaming. It turns out that the emperor is coming."

The emperor laughed and said, "Even if the magpie doesn't bark, then I will come too. There is still a little magpie like you in this palace!"

Concubine Kong was only in her early twenties, she was in the prime of her life, and she was a southerner with a slim figure. The emperor loved her very much, but it was a pity that she had been in the palace for three years and no good news came out.

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of your concubines. Your concubines are really looking forward to the emperor's arrival! Early this morning, my aunt sent someone to deliver a letter." Concubine Kong welcomed the emperor into the palace, and the maids brought tea and fruits Concubine Kong personally took the letter from Mrs. Kong and handed it to the emperor, "My aunt said that my uncle gave it to the emperor, and I asked my concubine to give it to the emperor when I have time."

The emperor only took the letter, removed the wax from the seal, opened the letter paper and glanced at it, his eyebrows showed a little joy, and he said: "The people of the Hong family really have some skills. It's only been a few months of work. I have found several silver mines, and now it is time to negotiate the price. There is actually a silver mine in Fangmiao Village, Heqiao Town, right under my nose. I don’t know it, but it is still the property of Cheng Guogong’s mansion. , it seems that these veteran nobles really cheated me a lot of money!"

Ladies in the harem are not allowed to engage in politics, but when the emperor said so, he could not be allowed to sing a one-man show. Concubine Kong just smiled and said: "I don't understand that the whole of Dayong belongs to you, the emperor. What's the problem with a few mines?" What about it? Can’t those ministers obediently offer it up?”

Hearing this, the emperor just smiled and put the delicate woman into his arms, patted her on the back and said: "Those veteran dignitaries, their ancestors all fought with the great grandfather, if there were no them, we would be Without today's Dayong, I am an emperor, no matter how bad I am, I have to miss the old feelings. A few years ago, I dealt with Jing Guogong and Zheng Guogong. Now many nobles are very dissatisfied with me. There are also people who say that I am ungrateful. It is also very distressing!"

The Kong family has been noble for generations, although they are not honorable, they are also a clear stream in the court, and everyone in the Kong family is a scholar of the imperial examination, and they also hold an attitude towards the removal of the nobles. When Concubine Kong heard this, she spoke Said: "Although the courtiers and concubines are women, they also know the principle of promoting talent and knowing people and doing well. Those sons and young masters from honorable families, not to mention that their knowledge is not as good as those who took the imperial examination, are virtues. It is said that the harem is proud of being favored, let alone those sons of aristocratic families who come from the wealthy Zhong Ding family."

When the emperor saw what Kong Bin said, he was also moved. He just nodded and said, "So look at my harem. Is there a daughter from a family? I don't like those Miss Duan's temper."

When Concubine Kong heard this, her face became more shy and rosy. The emperor felt a little hot and dry, so he stretched out his hand to stop the beauty's waist, and carried her to the inner room.

After all the fun, the emperor had some lunch in the Splendid Palace. Calculating the time, it was almost time for the two people in front to hand in their papers.Concubine Kong had just been exposed to the rain and her cheeks were blushing. She only walked to the door and watched the emperor's luan drive away.

In the imperial study room, both of them were writing vigorously, but from the look on their faces, Song Mingxuan was more calm and relaxed, as if there was a hole in his chest.On the other hand, Guo Laosi's hands and feet were weak, his forehead was slightly wet with sweat, and he looked frightened.

A few young eunuchs stood on both sides, their eyebrows lowered, and the imperial study was quiet only with the sound of the hourglass in the corner.Song Mingxuan put down his pen, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Guo Lao Si, without any expression on his face.But Guo Laosi tightened his brows, and said in a low voice: "Song Juren, I only gave you a laxative to save your life, but why did you chase after him so hard?"

Song Mingxuan's eyes turned cold, but then he said indifferently: "Then I have to thank Brother Guo for saving his life."

"You...you..." Fourth Guo looked at Song Mingxuan intently, swept over the two eunuchs standing in the corner, and suddenly reached out and overturned the inkstone on his desk, pouring all the black onto Song Mingxuan's just written on the article.

Hearing the sound, the little eunuch hurried forward to inquire, Guo Lao Si smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally knocked over the inkstone."

A look of slavery flashed across Song Mingxuan's eyes, but in the end he just lowered his head, glanced at the black-stained answer sheet in front of him, and remained silent.

The emperor came back soon, and was very surprised to see the ink-stained answer sheet in Song Mingxuan's hand. Before he could ask a question, Guo Laosi knelt down and said, "The late student was panicked and soiled Song Juren's answer sheet. , please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor only glanced at Mr. Guo, and the little eunuch who had just stood in the room came forward and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor just smiled and said, "Okay, Guo Yue, right? If you can still forgive your crimes, then I will be a fool. Pull him out and charge him with disrespect, and let the Ministry of Punishment choose a day to exile in Lingnan, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing for life."
