Idle courtiers

Chapter 324 Confirmed Eyes

The Taoist laughed loudly, pointed at Zhou Nan and said, "About the Xia Yan case, you are the only one who dares to say that in the past ten years, haha, it's interesting, you are really brave!"

What a shrewd person he is, how could he not know that with Xu Jie's cautious temperament, how could he speak ill of Xia Yan with others, these words were just Zhou Nan pretending to be Xu Jie's mouth.

As a high-ranking person, he never directly expresses his thoughts in words and deeds, and likes to make people guess.

Zhou Nan actually guessed exactly what he was thinking at the beginning today, and he said it so righteously, unconsciously, he had a good heart.

When Mr. Zhou saw that the Taoist saw through that Xu Jie did not say what he said, his heart suddenly trembled, and he felt very bad.

You must know that Xia Yan has been the chief assistant for many years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world.If they knew that he was whipping Xia Shoufu behind his back, they would be in big trouble.

When it was even more troublesome, Xia Yan's reputation in Shilin was extremely high.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty had always had the habit of gaining fame for themselves. In order to be famous, the emperor was their ultimate goal.If you can be beaten with a court stick by the emperor, you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Xia Yan was the civil servant leader back then, and died in a failed political struggle with Yan Song.In today's atmosphere where strictness is political correctness, it is simply a godsend.

If the news gets out, Zhou Nan will never be able to work in the civil service system for the rest of his life.

Zhou Nan hurriedly shouted: "Master Lan, the lower officials are very timid. Let's talk about this in private, you can't spread it!"

"So what if it spreads?" The Taoist looked disdainful.

Zhou Nan was bitter in his heart, what is your status, you talk nonsense, others can't do anything to you, but I'm just a small person!

"Master Daoist, it's meaningless for you to say that. How can anyone dare to tell you the truth in the future?"

Taoist: "That's right, it's really not easy for this deity to hear the truth. That's fine, and I agree with you."

Zhou Nan: "Really?"

The Taoist was displeased: "What the deity said always counts."

Zhou Nan rolled his eyes and stretched out his right hand: "You are not joking."

The Taoist gave him a high-five: "You are not joking." Then he burst out laughing.

He was dressed thinly in the cold weather, only a loose Taoist robe, and stretched out his hand, revealing a slender arm.

There are many red, soybean-sized spots on the arms.

This is the phenomenon of heavy metal poisoning after taking the pill for a long time.

Zhou Nan has already confirmed the identity of this Taoist. When others clap their hands and swear, they can at most say "a gentleman has no jokes", but he just used "you have no jokes" to test him, but he doesn't think there is anything inappropriate.

Although this has been affirmed, although Zhou Nan is also a very courageous modern person, but after confirming his eyes, his heart is still beating uncontrollably.

After laughing, the Taoist suddenly changed his face, put away his smile and asked coldly: "You haven't answered the deity just now, why did you come to the valet room to find Mr. Xu Ge?"

The tone of the question was not good, and the beam of light in the eyes shrank into a line and pierced Zhou Nan's eyebrows, making Mr. Zhou feel very uncomfortable.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, you don't know when thunder, rain and dew will come down, and what will come down again.

If one answer is wrong, all the flickering just now will be useless.

Zhou Nan's thoughts moved, his eyes turned red suddenly, he grasped the Taoist's hand, and said in tears: "This time, the official came to Xu Ge to express his feelings, and it is related to my future, life and death."

The Taoist felt uncomfortable when he held his hand.Wanting to throw it away, after thinking about it, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Nan said: "Didn't I be selected as the prince's son-in-law the previous time? Lan Xianchang, you also know what being selected as a son-in-law means to a scholar. That is the ruin of the future."

"You have been chosen as the Prince Consort?" The Taoist looked obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but look him up and down.

Zhou Nan: "Yes, it was just a year ago. Originally, the Zongzheng Mansion meant that they would be hired after the New Year. Fortunately, they took part in the imperial examination at the Xiaguansuo Hall and won the first place in the Shuntian Mansion Examination. Zongzheng was worried about the rumors of scholars. Seeing that the township examination is still a few months away, the lower officials are worried, for fear that one day they will be knighted by the royal family, so that they will no longer be able to serve as officials."

"Fame and fortune are just floating clouds to lower officials. If you don't get fame in the future, it doesn't matter whether you become an official or not. The only regret is that what you have learned all over the body cannot serve the Holy Son of Heaven, and cannot contribute to the country."

"Scholars of my generation have three immortals, meritorious service, morality, and words. Zhou Nan's morality is superficial, and his morality dare not speak out; his education is limited, and writing books will only increase his laughter; he can only do something and show his ambition in return. Father Jun. If I can’t even do this, what’s the point of my life? Besides, a subordinate official has an old wife in his hometown, so how can he divorce his wife and remarry? It’s against etiquette!”

Speaking of sadness, Zhou Nan tried her best to squeeze out a few tears, but she was moved by herself.

In the end, he choked with sobs and chanted: "The Luoshui mysterious turtle first offered auspiciousness, the number of yin is nine, the number of yang is nine, and the number of nine and nine is 81. The number is in line with the Tao. The first and the original Tianzun have a sincere feeling. Auspicious, six males, six females, six six 36 sounds, the sound is heard in the sky, the emperor of Jiajing was born, and his life is boundless!"

That's right, this is another green poem.

The Taoist was shocked when he heard it, it was really well written!Compared with Yan, Xu, and Li, the masters of Qing Ci in the cabinet, they are even better.It would be a pity for such a talented person to become a son-in-law.

Seeing Zhou Nan crying again, she felt pity in her heart: "So you wanted to ask Xu Jie to help you get rid of this marriage. That's right, you can't be Chen Shimei. You have to follow etiquette in everything. If you don't want to, there is no People can force you."

With his promise, the matter was settled smoothly.Zhou Nan burst into ecstasy: "You are not joking?"

"You are not joking." The Taoist nodded solemnly.

When the Taoist left, Zhou Nan softened and sat back on the chair.

Only then did I realize that on a very cold day, a layer of sweat appeared on my vest, which was very wet and uncomfortable.

"The actor, the actor, Zhou Nan, you are a genius!" Our Lord Zhou opened his mouth to laugh, but there was a lot of sound in his throat.

Straight lady thief, it is really not a human job to serve a prince, especially a shrewd and calculating emperor like Hou Jiajing.You don't know when you will say the wrong thing and step on the mine.

At this time, Zhou Nan had already confirmed that the Taoist just now was Emperor Jiajing.He was the only one who could directly enter the cabinet's office and call Xu Jie by his name over and over again.

When talking to him, don't say that every sentence should be thought twice before acting. His mother has thirty thoughts and three hundred thoughts.

Yan Song, Xu Jie and the others are together with such a master every day, but imagine how much pressure they will have to suffer mentally, and they will probably become abnormal.
