"Xiao Bei and Xiao Yuan arrested an official today."
When it was time to sleep, Zhang Xiaobao stretched out one arm for Wang Juan to use as a pillow, while the other arm hugged Wang Juan's waist. His mouth was close to Wang Juan's ear as he spoke.
"I know, what's the matter?" Wang Juan used her hand to press down on Zhang Xiaobao's hand, not allowing it to move as she asked.
"Nothing, I just feel that the new registrar of Wannian County is unlucky. Xiao Bei was born in a family like ours, and can't stand other people finding a few women. This is something that education can't make up for, unless …"
"Unless you find another two, right? Which family do you fancy? I'll give you some advice. Our Xiao Bao isn't a good match for most people. "Wang Juan's hand was no longer pressing down on Zhang Xiaobao's hand.
Zhang Xiaobao's hand suddenly stiffened, and he didn't dare to move. In the past, he could still move up, but after a few breaths of time, he recovered.
"That's fine too. There's a shop opposite Savant's Restaurant that sells lamb's face that sells quite well. His family has a daughter. Looking at her roughly, she should be around 16 years old. She's good looking, more than 1.6 meters tall. The first impression she gives people is that she has big breasts. According to modern people's words, she has a lot of milk, and in the future, her child will grow up to be strong.
The second impression is that she's pretty. She has a round oval face, a nose, eyes, and especially that mouth. When she purses her lips, the corners of her mouth curl up so far that people can really feel the curve of her lips.
I've looked at her a few times, and found that her hair is also beautiful. Others have hair like clouds or something, but I feel that when I look at her hair, it's already outdated. She has layers of clouds, and her voice is also extraordinary. When she speaks, people can hear her clearly. Unlike you, who usually speaks softly and gently to me.
I can't see any strength in her small waist, and her legs aren't thick enough. Standing there, she looks like she hasn't been through any hardships. It makes people worry. In addition, I can only use one hand to touch her firm and perky breasts. When I touch them …. "
"Move again? You're still counting the moons. Last time, I gave you a chance to count the stars, but you didn't take it. So you have to understand your situation. Be honest. Take it away. You … Ouch, you used so much strength. It hurts. You can't do it these two days. I've noticed that you always have an excuse to leave these two mornings. "
As Wang Juan spoke, she wanted to turn over, but gave up in the end. She moved closer to Zhang Xiaobao and asked.
Zhang Xiaobao suddenly blushed. Fortunately, it was dark, and there was an orange lamp in the room. It was dimly lit, so Zhang Xiaobao couldn't see it. He shrunk his head and replied, "No, I didn't go anywhere. I went to look at the beautiful woman opposite me. "
"Really? If that's really the case, it'll be really hard on you. There are many beautiful girls in the Inner Courtyard, but won't they immediately obediently go to your bed with just a word from you? Why did you have to look at that woman whose legs are thicker than your waist? She's stable, her waist can fit three of you? She's strong, has a big mouth, nostrils like Weiwei, and her hair isn't combed very naturally. Your nervous system is still very strong. "
Wang Juan turned her face and looked at Zhang Xiaobao as she spoke softly.
Zhang Xiaobao shrunk his head back and laughed embarrassedly, "Actually, actually, I went to look at my family's business these two mornings. When I marry you in the future, there will be a lot of dowry. Hey, I suddenly remembered that a new batch of Hetian jade came into our jewelry shop. Do you like it? I'll make a bracelet for you, a pair of bracelets.
Okay, I can feel your watery eyes. Don't glare at me. I'll confess. I'll confess everything. Actually, I didn't go to look at jade. I went to look at tonics that nourish yin and strengthen yang energy. After all, when you allowed me to count the stars, we were more confident, weren't we?
Why don't you believe me? Yes, I've cheated many times in the past, and my hands are bloody. It's not unreasonable for you to think that I'm lying. But the truth is that because of physical reasons and my energy was focused on 'legitimate' business, I didn't think about the matters between men and women. But I also understand the requirements of doing that kind of thing, right?
What are you doing? Don't touch my hair. Wife, I just realized that you're really beautiful. You're gentle to me, and … I went to the brothel in the capital that has a business relationship with my family, okay? I didn't know what to do. I went to eavesdrop on the women and customers in the brothel.
The excuse I found was that recently, some people who wanted to destroy my family's business secretly entered the capital and eavesdropped. I wanted to learn. I was going to change to another brothel tomorrow morning. Today's brothel didn't do anything in the morning. I'm stupid. You don't blame me, right? "
Wang Juan was stunned for a moment. Then she burst out laughing. She leaned forward and kissed Zhang Xiaobao's forehead. She said with a smile, "No wonder you knew how to move your hands yesterday. You're so capable. You only eavesdropped for two days, and you already know how to make people feel comfortable. You must have been a good student when you were studying in prison.
If that woman and her patron knew about this, wouldn't they spread it everywhere? Zhang Xiaobao, who organized the top ranking of billionaires, controlled the Great Tang Bank, stirred up a storm in the economic war, and came up with a plan to destroy a country, didn't know about this kind of thing. He even secretly eavesdropped on others. The people who were eavesdropped on would feel honored.
Especially that woman, she would probably shut her door and refuse to see any guests. Come, let me see my lovely Xiao Bao. Oh, how did you take the photo? Why is your face so red? Tell me, what else did you learn? I'll give you some advice. I'm better than you. When I was in school, I watched a lot of good movies with my roommates. I know a lot. "
"No, no. That's all. That's it. You don't blame me?" Zhang Xiaobao continued to do what he had heard and seen.
"Don't move. I can't do it these few days. How can I not blame you? You're going alone. Why didn't you call me? I suddenly realized that you're more precious than a panda. Alright, I know you have a strong learning ability. You should be busy this month. Next month, the month after that, I'll count the stars with you for three or five days. Go to sleep. Ah. "
Wang Juan kissed Zhang Xiaobao again and lay down again.
Zhang Xiaobao also retracted his hand and looked at the ceiling. "Alright, one month. Arrange everything in Xinluo. Next year, we'll go to Xinluo. That's where the Great Tang is.
I know that you want to fight, but I'm not willing to directly use force. I just need to intimidate others with force. I don't want the soldiers of the Great Tang to die, because there are no zero casualties. All military operations are for the sake of politics.
How about this? I'll arrange a war for you. Treat it as training for your soldiers and also obtaining more benefits for the Great Tang. When the time comes, you have to fight well. Even if you have to temporarily retreat, don't advance rashly and cause the Great Tang to lose too many soldiers.
Eh? I just found something. It's very serious. Can you let me check again? I'll be gentle. Really, I won't use any strength. "
"You, you're not allowed to go to that kind of place in the future, and you're not allowed to learn it. Otherwise, won't I be tortured to death by you? Where do you want me to hit? "
"I'm not telling you. It's not Xinluo anyway. Tell me, how did you …"
"Don't say it."
"Oh, okay. I saw that woman actually use her mouth. Have you seen it before?"
"So what if she uses her mouth? I've seen her use a knife. "
"…"
*****
The next morning, in the Hanyuan Palace.
"I've heard that the imperial examination in spring this year is already done. However, the imperial examination in spring is far from enough. Therefore, I'll add an Autumn Imperial Examination in advance and select knowledgeable people from the Great Tang, such as the Bohai Jiedushi. What do you think?"
Li Longji brought up this matter during the morning court session.
At first, the officials did not understand. Later, when they heard about the Bohai Jiedushi, they understood. The Autumn Imperial Examination that the Emperor mentioned was for Zhang Xiaobao. It seemed that if the Autumn Imperial Examination was really held, the top scorer would not change. No one would be able to push Zhang Xiaobao down. As long as Zhang Xiaobao participated, he would definitely be the top scorer. Whoever was not convinced could try.
Some officials with bad tempers and straightforward natures who were unwilling to admit the status of the Zhang Family and Wang Family began to criticize in their hearts.
Wasn't it just Zhang Xiaobao who wanted to be the top scorer? Couldn't he just casually give him the title of the top scorer? Why add an Autumn Imperial Examination? All the scholars of the Great Tang would be tormented. Some might not even be able to make it in time. Then, there would be many officials who would be busy reviewing the examination papers.
Li Longji did not care what others thought. In any case, he just mentioned it and the matter was settled. If he chose too many officials, he would not be able to arrange all of them in a short time. He could send them to Zhang Xiaobao. He believed that Zhang Xiaobao would definitely have a place to settle down.
"Move aside, don't block me. I'm looking for Uncle Emperor." While the Hanyuan Palace was silent, a clear voice came from outside. Even without the use of loudspeakers, the voice traveled very far.
The officials heard a familiar voice and turned to look. They saw Xiao Bei wearing a bright red official robe. He had a goldfish pouch on his left and a silverfish pouch on his right as he 'strode' into the palace.
Behind Xiao Bei, there were eight people dressed similarly. They stood in a row with their chests puffed out and their heads held high. They had the appearance of proper officials attending court.
Behind the nine of them was a seventh-rank minor official. His face was filled with panic as he looked around. Clearly, he had been brought here by Xiao Bei and the others.
Zhang Zhong, who was not far from Li Longji, had good eyesight. He immediately saw who it was. Seeing this situation, he did not need to ask to know what was going on. Someone was unlucky and had been caught by Xiao Bei. However, such matters could not be dragged to the morning court every time, right?
Zhang Zhong took two steps forward and stared at Xiao Bei. "Xiao Bei, it's the morning court. Let's talk after the court."
Xiao Bei was annoyed by this. It was clearly his own matter, but his father was stopping him. Previously, after he had his fill in the court, he was scolded when he returned home. However, he could not ignore today's matter. He signaled to the people behind him with his eyes.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and stood up. He said to Zhang Zhong, "I am doing the grace of the Emperor to investigate the actions of the Tang Empire's officials. From the ninth-rank officials to the Hall of Secretaries, there is nothing that I do not ask. If they are obstructed or questioned in the same case, Minister Zhang, do you wish to cover for them?"
Zhang Zhong was angry. Yesterday, Xiao Bei and the others left in a hurry. He even said that he was going to find an official to ask for information. He did not expect that they were going to arrest someone. Today, he was even questioned. He heard that his son-in-law's words were not bad, but he could not be as mischievous as his daughter.
"Xiao Yuan, you … you …" Zhang Zhong pointed at Xiao Yuan. He did not know what to say for a moment.
Xiao Yuan also threw caution to the wind. At most, he would go back and plead with his brother and sister. For Xiao Bei, he would go all out. Hence, he took two steps forward and said, "It has been like this since ancient times. The importance of the country lies with the people. The people rely on the officials for their affairs. The officials are virtuous but cannot do their best. The officials' actions are not righteous but cannot do their best.
An official has one or more positions and can do their best. Minister Zhang is the Minister of Works. How can you stop me from patrolling? Even if you are the Secretary of State, you cannot stop the imperial censor. The Heaven is above, the Earth is below. The Emperor is above, and family is below. Could it be that Minister Zhang wants to use your own body to suppress the etiquette between the Emperor and his subjects? "
These few words stunned all the officials. They all looked at Zhang Zhong. Their hearts were filled with jealousy. Look at other people's children. Any one of them was not simple. Xiao Yuan, this little brat, was only a little bit old. He was discussing official matters and talking about the etiquette of the Emperor. He definitely did not memorize it beforehand before bringing it to the Imperial Court.
How exactly did the children of the Zhang Family and Wang Family raise? Then who was the one who was arrested? How unlucky, to be targeted by the nine children.
Zhang Zhong did not know what he was thinking about this matter. He was happy and angry. His future son-in-law was not bad. He spoke so fluently, but did he not know who he was talking to?
With a sigh, Zhang Zhong pointed at Xiao Yuan. "You brat, you're good. Wait until you get home. Uh-huh, Patrolling Wang is right. I've learned something.
Please. "When Xiao Yuan heard the latter part of the sentence, his face turned pale. He turned his head to look at Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei stuck out his tongue. He opened his arms and ran up to Zhang Zhong in one breath. He grabbed Zhang Zhong's hand and shook it back and forth. "Father ~! Big matter, today is a big matter. Elder Brother and Elder Sister did not stop me. Father is the best. Isn't that right, Father? "
After he finished speaking, he saw that his father's face was still stiff. Xiao Bei let go of his father's hand and ran to Li Longji's chair. He grabbed the armrest and shook it back and forth. He whispered, "Uncle Emperor, please help me say something. If this continues, Xiao Bei will not dare to come again."
The originally serious imperial court was changed by Xiao Bei. Some of the old-fashioned court officials lowered their heads and did not look. They could only sigh that public morals were deteriorating with each passing day and that people's hearts were no longer what they used to be.
This was the second time that Ma Pang, who was captured, saw the emperor. Looking at him from afar, he did not feel excited at all. He finally experienced the power of this little girl, Xiao Bei. It turned out that she could casually interrupt the morning court and run to the emperor's room to make a fuss. All the court officials were watching. Any one of them was a fifth-ranked official or above, but no one stopped her. The Jinwu Guards were also like decorations.
Why was he so unlucky? Why did he have to go to the Hibiscus Garden?
Li Longji was happy when he saw Xiao Bei. He patted Xiao Bei's head and said, "Good, zhen will speak for you. Tell Uncle Emperor, why did you capture him? What crime did he commit? "
"Uncle Emperor is the best. When you're not busy in the afternoon, Xiao Bei will come and sing for Uncle Emperor. He, he's that … that, he's an official and doesn't want his previous wife anymore. He divorced and didn't divorce, and his wife didn't do anything wrong. Xiao Yuan, what do you say?"
Xiao Bei was happy. She wanted to talk about it in detail, but found that she didn't know how to organize her words. She waved her hand at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan took a loudspeaker from the eunuch next to her. She didn't dare to look at Zhang Zhong. Weiwei tilted her head and said, "If one person doesn't get anything, he will implicate a family. If an official has no virtue, he will harm the people. If his wife is innocent, he will abandon her. How can an official bear virtue? If he can abandon his wife today, he will abandon his people tomorrow. If his family has a wife, he will find another daughter from a rich family.
Last night, someone sent a letter to this official's residence, ordering this official to not pursue County Secretary Ma Pang for ten thousand years. This official lives on the monarch's salary. How can we be threatened by others? Therefore, this official is investigating Li Wang Li Yan colluding with foreign officials. Using his status as a member of the imperial family, he violated etiquette. This is a problem that cannot be ignored. "
When these words were said, the court officials no longer had the mood to laugh.
Members of the imperial family could not collude with foreign officials. This had long been a rule, but under normal circumstances, no one cared. Ignoring it did not mean that it was allowed. Today, someone brought it up and pointed at Li Wang Li Yan. Who would win in the end?
Li Longji's face became gloomy. He turned his head and asked Xiao Bei, "Did Yan 'er really send people to threaten you last night?"
"He dares? The person who came did not threaten, but said that he would give us something fun to play with and let us go. I won't do it. I only help Uncle Emperor. I don't listen to other people's words. Besides, what fun does my family not have? Want to bribe me? Dream on.
But it is indeed someone from his family. The second steward in charge of foreign affairs in Li Wang Fu, I remember clearly. He has a mole on his face. I can recognize him when I meet him. The main reason is that he has Li Wang's name. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see me. "
Xiao Bei pouted and complained.
Li Longji thought about it and asked: "Your family didn't care?"
"No, brother and sister asked and didn't say anything. I know that this is our own matter. We have to solve it ourselves, so I came today. Uncle Emperor, let me tell you, it is a concubine of Li Wang Li Yan. Her younger sister took a fancy to Ma Pang.
As for Ma Pang, you said that if you like that woman, you can marry her. But he was afraid that the woman's family would oppose him, so he didn't dare to bring his wife from elsewhere. He wanted to climb up Li Yan. I know that his family's little brother Ma is very pitiful. My father was the top scorer back then.
If I do, what will happen to him? "Xiao Bei explained his reason, because normally speaking, Ma Pang did not violate the law.
"Then what do you want to do?" Li Longji asked.
"Let Ma Pang bring his wife here."
"But the world is so big. If there is no Ma Pang, there is still Zhang Pang, Li Pang, and Wang Pang. Don't tell me you want to catch everyone?"
"Then give an order. No official is allowed to not have a wife."
"Then what if the official's wife is domineering and uses the order as an excuse to not do women's affairs?"
"Ah? Can it be like this? Then … Then I don't know what to do. I will go back to brother and sister. "Xiao Bei couldn't think of a way and said dejectedly.
Li Longji touched Xiao Bei's head again, "Then go back first. Zhen will give Ma Pang's position to other officials. Let him think about it, okay?"
"Okay."
"Lishi, go find Li Wang Li Yan and let him come to Xingqing Palace after the morning court. As long as the members of the imperial family don't use their own power to promote other officials, zhen will be lax. En, our Xiao Bei did well. Zhen is relieved. I think that in the future, no matter if it is coercion or temptation, no one will be able to move Xiao Bei, right?"
Li Longji instructed Gao Lishi, then turned his head to praise Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei smiled sweetly and nodded happily. "That's right, that's right. I'm not afraid of being threatened, and I won't accept bribes from others. I have money, so I'm fine. I'll go back first and have a good talk with my father."
"Okay, don't forget to come and sing." Li Longji said 'seriously'.
