I'm so hard

Chapter 34
Talking about money hurts feelings is definitely a truth that is universal in ancient and modern times.

When Zhao Yan asked Lu Nianwei to spend 1000 taels of silver to buy his poem, Lu Nianwei had no good looks.

Then, the moonlight date on the roof ended hastily.

Zhao Yan, who is like a straight man of steel, didn't realize at all how he offended Lu Nianwei, and felt that he was quite generous.

Famous poems handed down from generation to generation only cost 1000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the price of cabbage.

On the second day, after waking up from the wine, Zhao Yan realized what he said last night: As long as 1000 taels of silver, it is too straight.

Immediately, he personally wrote the song "Yuan Xi" on rice paper, carefully mounted it, and then asked Hei Wa to send it to Wanbaolou.

Zhao Yan specifically reminded Hei Wa that he must tell Lu Nianwei that this word was his intention and had nothing to do with common things like money.

But when Hei Wa came back, he brought back a copper coin, saying that it was Lu Nianwei's retouching fee for Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan held the copper plate in his hand, with a silly smile on his face.

After Lu Nianwei received the song "Yuan Xi", she stared at it for more than an hour, and the smile on her face was almost exactly the same as that of Zhao Yan.

……

On the night of the full moon, on a good day and with good wine, it is the easiest time to write poems.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, before noon, there were nearly a hundred poems describing the scene of last night spread all over the streets and alleys, and there was no shortage of fine works.

And after Lu Nianwei posted Zhao Yan's "Yuan Xi", the popularity of nearly a hundred poems instantly dropped to zero.

This poem was widely circulated in the streets and alleys, and Lu Nianwei did not tell the author of the poem, so in the word of mouth among the people, one after another romantic stories spread.

And the sentence "I searched for her thousands of times in the crowd. Looking back suddenly, that person is there, in a dimly lit place." It has become a famous sentence recited by the streets and alleys.

In less than a day, even four or five-year-old children have learned to recite.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, early in the morning.

The second official court ceremony in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all civil and military officials gathered in the Daqing Hall.

Zhao Yan is wearing a crimson gauze robe and sitting on a dragon chair.

At the beginning of the year, there are usually not too many things. Zhao Yan plans to catch up on returning to the cage after the court meeting.

"Do you ministers have a book to play?" Zhao Yan asked with a smile. He has fully adapted to his status as emperor, and his gestures are full of imperial aura.

"I have a book to play!" Wei Yunde, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Wu Chong, the doctor of the imperial censor years ago, has retired and returned home, and there is still a vacant person in charge at the imperial censor's platform."

"Is there any selection from your official department?" Zhao Yan asked.

"The minister recommends Chen Zhong, the deputy envoy of Yushitai."

Wei Yunde took out a recommendation booklet, and Xizi handed it to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan briefly read Chen Zhong's information, and felt that this person could take on a great responsibility.

Moreover, this is just a promotion from a deputy to a full-time job, and basically there will be no other candidates.

Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Jingye, the Minister of Literature below, and asked, "Does the Ministry of Education have any objections?"

Xiao Jingye clasped his hands and replied, "The Ministry of Education has no objection."

"Okay, then I will appoint..." Zhao Yan had just finished speaking, when a loud voice suddenly came from the corner, which directly interrupted Zhao Yan's voice.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

Afterwards, a short middle-aged official in Yushitai official uniform strode out.

In the court, interrupting the emperor's speech is a big taboo.

Xiao Jingye turned his face away, couldn't help being stunned, and asked sharply: "How dare you interrupt His Majesty's words. What kind of official position do you have in Yushitai, and your rank can reach the fourth rank? Why doesn't this old man know you. "

A short middle-aged man walked to the center of the hall, knelt down on the ground, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, my name is Shangguan Buyue, and my official title is Yushi Zhongcheng, temporarily residing in the fifth rank."

Zhao Yan couldn't help showing doubts.

Except for specially recruited officials, only officials of the fourth rank and above can enter the hall to face the saints, and a fifth-rank official is not eligible to enter the Daqing Hall to participate in the court meeting.

"Shangguan is not happy. According to court etiquette, fifth-rank officials are not allowed to enter the Daqing Palace without special permission. How did you get in?" Zhao Yan asked.

Then, Shangguan was unhappy and said something that almost didn't make Zhao Yan laugh out loud.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the humble ministers got in here."

mixed in?

Zhao Yan was speechless for a moment, he had never seen such a candid minister, he pleaded guilty immediately.

Shangguan was displeased and continued: "Your Majesty, I know that it is a crime to infiltrate the Daqing Palace, but I have no choice but to infiltrate. I think Chen Zhong, the deputy envoy of the Yushitai, is not suitable to be a doctor of the imperial history."

Chen Zhong, the deputy envoy of Yushitai who was not far away, was ashen-faced when he heard this, wishing to expel Shangguan's displeasure immediately.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but be happy, he likes this kind of people who can put forward different opinions.

"The Shangguan is displeased. I will not pursue your crime of entering the Daqing Palace privately. You first tell me why Chen Zhong is not suitable to be the doctor of the imperial history. As a member of the Yushitai, who do you think is more suitable to be the doctor of the imperial history? "

Shangguan was displeased and chested out, and said: "According to my point of view, Chen Zhong's ability is limited, and as a deputy envoy is already the limit. If he becomes a doctor of the imperial censor, he will definitely not do as well as Mr. Wu Chong. However, I feel that the imperial censor can do better. There is only one person who can do better than Wu Chong in taking up the post of Yushi doctor, and that is my Shangguan displeased!"

Hearing the last sentence, Zhao Yan couldn't laugh or cry. He has never seen such a confident and narcissistic person in his second life.

Rank five is promoted to rank two, but three consecutive jumps.

The officials below were also puzzled, and most of them wanted to know: Where did this guy come from?
At this time, Chen Zhong, the deputy envoy of the Yushitai, also came out, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Shangguan is displeased and thinks he is noble. Everyone in Taiwan is at odds with each other, if Master Wu Chong didn't feel that he has a bit of character, he would have dismissed him long ago, this person's nonsense in the court hall is due to my lax discipline at Yushitai, I hope His Majesty will punish him!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of the deputy envoy Chen Chong. Except for a few people in the court meeting who don't like me, the censors below are quite sympathetic with the humble ministers. On the contrary, it's Chen Zhong who came here to form a gang Pai, if he becomes the imperial censor, the censor platform will be useless and will only be flattering!"

"You...you..." Chen Chong, deputy envoy of Yushitai, was almost speechless with anger.

Clique?Flattering?
No one can hold these two big hats on their heads.

At this time, Hong Tianshun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't help but came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Shangguan is unhappy and has committed three crimes. First, he broke into the court without permission; second, he contradicted the superior; Severe punishment."

As soon as Hong Tianshun finished speaking, the Shangguan was displeased and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, Hong Shilang is simply making a big deal out of a trivial matter. To face you bluntly, expressing opinions is the basic duty of a censor. Is it possible that I can only say some compliments?"

The Shangguan was displeased, and his voice was loud, like a firecracker. For a while, all the officials were unwilling to talk to him.
