Back Off, Let Me Come

Tan Ting is surprisingly obedient.

If he were in school, he would be the teacher's favorite good boy.

Shen Tang sighed: [It doesn't match his face at all. ]

Qi Shan has been in a bad mood these days. He was a little stressed when he heard the word [Tan Ting], and started to get angry like a cat.

[What doesn't match? ]

Shen Tang said: [To put it in a stereotyped way, his appearance looks like he can stir up a bloody storm, but in the end - he is surprisingly quiet and obedient, just occasionally making some shocking remarks -]

Compared with Qi Shan, he is really too obedient.

[Speaking of which, I haven't seen Yuan Liang himself. ] She was very curious about what the real Tan Qu would look like, and whether the judgment of appearance is based on the heart is accurate. [If you don't want to, I won't force you. ]

Qi Shan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

His back teeth were grinding and creaking: [The master will be disappointed, and - can you not teach him strange things? It's hard to say about others, but Tan Mengyuan really knows how to learn. 】

Qishan has been forced to stay in various places for several days.

Shen Tang reflected on himself: [I didn't teach him anything. 】

Qishan suddenly showed an indescribable look.

There are some things that he dare not say.

In the past, Tan Ting bathed everywhere, at least in the deep mountains and old forests where few people go. As long as the person who accidentally peeped had no bad intentions, Tan Ting would not kill him. Now that his cultivation has improved, he seems to be less dependent on this behavior. He has changed!

He changed to casually wearing a thin gauze single garment at home!

But the terrible thing is that this is his Qi Yuanliang's temporary residence!

As a bad guest living under someone else's roof, can't Tan Ting have a little awareness of being a guest? Qishan went back to get something, and when he opened the door, he saw someone with his back to the door. Ru Zao Mo's hair was loose and shawled, leaning against the armrest, lazily leaning against the mirror and pitying himself.

The robe was only one layer and was not very thick. One could vaguely see the outline under the wide robe. Qi Shan was numb on the spot.

[Tan Mengyuan! You——]

It is simply immoral!

He needed an adjective more serious than the collapse of rituals and music!

Qi Shan's movement interrupted Tan Ting's admiration of the person in the mirror. He looked back lazily and said: [Mr. Shen said that narcissism should be based on comfort. Today, I felt that my clothes were restricting me, so I wore a few fewer pieces. This is also indoors, not in broad daylight. What's wrong? ]

Qi Shan: [You, you...]

For the first time in his life, he was so angry that he forgot the words.

Tan Ting bent one leg, sat up straight, let go of the mirror, and muttered to himself: [The person in the mirror is indeed worthy of pity. ]

Qi Shan: [...]

This is all the sin of the master!

If Tan Ting's brain disease was more serious, it is hard to say that he would not learn from Ni Heng to beat the drum naked and run around naked. Qi Shan once again determined that his friend was sicker than his enemy.

Tan Ting's eyes, full of brilliance, saw through Qi Shan's thoughts and sneered: [I don't have so much time to invite the gossip of the secular people. People who appreciate and understand will just watch it, but if the secular people who don't understand read it——]

He added a bit of murderous intent to his tone.

[Don't you want those eyes in your eye sockets? ]

Just because he looks good, you can't think that he is a weakling who can't even tie a chicken. His sword for killing is sharper than Qi Shan.

Qi Shan: [……]

Faced with Qi Shan's series of accusations, Shen Tang reflected on himself.

With a guilty conscience, he made a promise: [Hey, I'll try. ]

Qi Shan also knew that Shen Tang's promises were useless, but it was better than nothing: [I just hope his madness will pass soon. ]

If he is not calm for a day, Qi Shan will be tossed for a day.

This life is simply unbearable!

Adhering to the principle of "a friend dies rather than a poor one", Shen Tang did not take up the topic and changed the subject: "Although Tan Mengyuan is your friend, he is also a captive of Zhen State. When his retreat is over, his place should be arranged. I don't know much about him, and I am afraid that I will neglect him if I arrange him too low. Qian Shuhe also said that his words are very unique... I think he is the talent mentioned by Wei Lou, and he can make up for the shortcomings of Kang State in this regard. However, he has not made any achievements after all, and it will be difficult to convince the public if he is treated too well. 】

It is not easy to discuss this matter with others, Qishan is the best candidate.

If Tan Ting is not a captive, it will not be difficult.

Since ancient times, it is difficult for the surrendered generals and soldiers who joined later to get along with the direct elders group, and they often dislike each other.

There are not many signs on Shen Tang's side, but it should be taken into consideration.

Qishan said: "This is not difficult. 】

Because Tan Ting has such a personality.

He said seriously: [If the master wants to use him and hone him, he can start from the local area. If he goes directly to the capital and works in Beijing, he can go to the Ministry of Rites, the Bureau of History, etc. If the Ministry of Revenue is short of people, he can also go to the Ministry of Revenue first...]

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are not mentioned.

Shen Tang frowned and asked: [Can't he go to the Ministry of War? ]

The Ministry of War is now managed by Jiang Sheng. In the past two years, large and small battles have been fought fiercely, and the Ministry of War is also short of people. Tan Ting's family rumor spirit can play a unique effect in front of the battlefield. He is definitely a hot talent in the Ministry of War. With Xiandeng's temper, he will not resist Tan Ting. It should be the most ideal buffer channel for Tan Ting to integrate into Kangguo. Shen Tang prefers the Ministry of War.

Qi Shan said: [Don't you know? ]

Shen Tang asked inexplicably: [Know what? ]

Qi Shan looked strange.

[Tan Mengyuan is tired of war, and he still cultivates the way of non-contention. 】

There is nothing wrong with letting Tan Ting go to the Ministry of War, but it is difficult to expect him to love this job. If it were not for his war-weariness, he would not be able to learn the family's rumored spiritual practice so well.

Shen Tang: [……]

She uttered the word [6] after a long while.

Shen Tang scratched his head: [How can you tell? Before, Gong Xichou knew that I recruited Tan Mengyuan, and he said that this person's aura was disgusting and he didn't like him very much. It can be seen that Tan Mengyuan did use special words to suppress Gong Xichou's performance. ]

At that time, it was on the battlefield.

Tan Ting appeared on the battlefield, and then he was tired of war?

Qi Shan said: [This is not a conflict. ]

Literary scholars are originally a group of extremely contradictory and logically self-consistent. Tan Ting is just a typical example.

Shen Tang: [……]

Qi Shan has reason to think so.

[Tan Mengyuan's state of mind is not yet completely perfect. It is not very safe to let him stay in the Ministry of War. It is fine to stay in a place like the Ministry of Rites. It will not affect the overall situation and allow him to slowly adapt. ]

Shen Tang thought about it seriously: [That's fine. ]

But——

She remembered something else: [The Minister of Rites is still in charge of Gong Su. Are you sure you can survive if these two meet? 】

Although Qin Li and Qi Shan have reconciled, he will not let Qi Shan go if he can. When the Censorate stepped on Qi Shan, Qin Li also stabbed him several times. To be precise, Qi Shan's enemies seemed to have a telepathic connection and took turns to stab him. This time it was Qin Li, next time it will be Jiang Sheng, Xun Zhen...

Half of the apparent harmony in the court of Kangguo is due to Qi Shan.

He alone caused 30% to 40% of the hatred.

Occasionally, Shen Tang was afraid that they would draw swords and fight in the court, put sacks on each other in private, and never have any contact with each other.

Obviously, this is impossible.

No matter how bad the quarrel is, it will not affect the vacation and travel together.

_(:з」∠)_

Shen Tang once suspected that the Censorate's comment that Qi Shan's words to Qin Li were frivolous was Qi Shan's means of revenge. It really felt like a quarrel between elementary school kids. Qi Shan suggested that Tan Ting go to the Ministry of Rites. Isn't this sending a teammate of the [Anti-Qi Yuanliang Alliance] to Gong Su?

Qi Shan paused, then said: [What are you afraid of? ]

Shen Tang shook his head helplessly, smiled and teased: [Tsk, if the sky of Kangguo is going to fall in the future, there will be Yuanliang's mouth to support it. ]

This is definitely one of the toughest things in Kangguo!

Qi Shan: [……]

The matter of Zhenguo was finally settled before the New Year, and Shen Tang almost stepped on the tail of the year and led his troops back to the capital Fengluo.

"Huh——I thought I couldn't make it and had to celebrate the New Year halfway." Shen Tang didn't pursue material things, and she could celebrate the New Year anywhere, but she couldn't ignore the demands of the court officials. She was a bachelor who could feed the whole family, but others were not.

After rushing and hurrying, she finally rushed back.

Because they arrived early, Shen Tang specifically told the court officials not to mobilize troops, just treat it as an ordinary day, enter the city quietly, and don't disturb the livelihood of the common people. In view of Tan Ting's special identity, he was finally arranged to stay at Qi Shan's house.

Qi Shan: "... No, why?"

His request was ruthlessly ignored.

After entering the city, Shen Tang made simple arrangements and let everyone go. Those who needed to take a vacation took a vacation, and those who needed to prepare for the New Year prepared for the New Year. As the lord, she also needed to deal with the accumulated government affairs one by one - although she arranged Qin Li, Gu Chi and others to supervise the country and assist in the administration, there were always some things they could not do for her.

Among them, the more important ones were all sent to the front for Shen Tang to deal with, and some unimportant ones were left for later.

In addition to these, Shen Tang also had to take a look at the annual gifts given to various officials, and personally write some auspicious words to reward the important officials.

There are still many things to do at the end of the year.

"Alas, the position of the lord is really not for people to sit."

These things also require the participation of the Ministry of Rites. As one of the important officials who supervise the country, Qin Li also needs to report to Shen Tang, so the two things are simply done together. Looking at the red paper on the table and the master who was writing with a sore wrist, he said: "The master is not a human being."

Shen Tang said: "Yes, I am probably not a human being."

Normal cattle and horses don't have the endurance like her.

You have to know that she is not opening one account now, but three - not only is Kangguo a big business, but there are also branches in the other two places that are quietly operating, which is not a problem for cattle and horses!

Shen Tang gave Qin Li a shot in advance.

She wants to put someone in the Ministry of Rites and focus on training and appointing him.

Qin Li silently wrote down: "What's his name?"

Shen Tang said: "His name is Tan Ting, Tan..."

Qin Li took the opportunity to continue: "Tan Mengyuan?"

Shen Tang paused, the ink almost ruined her blessing character, and continued to write: "Gong Su, do you know Tan Mengyuan?"

Qin Li shook his head: "No, but I've heard of him."

Tan Ting's ancestral home is in the Central Continent, which is far away from Qin Li's ancestral home. In addition, Tan Ting has lived in seclusion for many years and has no great reputation in the literary circle. Even if he joined the Gods Society, he had no intersection with Qin Li: "When have you heard of him?"

The question was asked, but the answer was in his heart.

Qin Li said: "Qi Yuanliang mentioned it back then."

Shen Tang had no expression on his face, thinking: [As expected. 】

She continued to write a line of calligraphy: "This person's temperament seems a little peculiar at first glance, but after getting to know each other better, he is also a wonderful person."

The fact that Tan Ting, like Qin Li, had conflicts with Qi Shan was enough to bring the two closer and form a united front alliance.

Qin Li did not ask much after hearing Shen Tang's praise for Tan Ting.

They were about to serve in the same court, and they would meet each other every day.

There would be plenty of time to get to know each other in the future.

However, I didn't expect that this time would come so soon.

Qin Li stayed in the inner court until the moon was high before leaving. He had some things to discuss with Qi Shan. Tan Ting was a member of the Gods Society, and happened to be the most lacking territory in Kangguo.

Is there really no coincidence in this?

It was more like a pillow that came to him after he dozed off.

He wanted to get a feel for Qi Shan so that he would know whether to keep an eye on Tan Ting or trust him completely in the future.

Although visiting at night was impolite, Qin Li had no guilt for visiting Qi Yuanliang. The housekeeper took Qin Li to the study to wait, but he didn't expect that there was already someone in the study.

Under the candlelight, someone was flipping through the scrolls with interest. Qin Li had read these scrolls. They had been flipped through by the owner countless times, and even the rough corners were rubbed smooth and smooth, and there were many annotations on them. Qin Li did not deliberately hide his own aura.

The person under the candle looked back quietly.

He smiled and said, "This seems to be a key area of ​​the study."

Qin Li took off his fox cloak, and the steward lit a few more lamps. The light made the cats that were taking a nap on the bookcase unhappy. They stretched their bodies, yawned loudly, and used the bookcase to sharpen their claws: "Which key area of ​​the study can let cats make a nest?"

It would be strange if Qi Yuanliang put important things in the study.

Qin Li had no psychological burden every time he came.

He asked, "Tan Mengyuan?"

Tan Ting put down the letter: "I wonder who you are?"

"Qin Li, Qin Gongsu, Minister of Rites."

He is also Tan Ting's future boss.

Qin Li found a corner not too far away and sat down, not wanting to get too close to strangers. Tan Ting took the initiative to bring up the topic: "I heard that Minister Qin is perfect in the way of scholars. Can I ask you a few questions?"

Tan Ting still dislikes men, but Qin Li is an exception.

He is full of style and elegance.

Like pine, snow and wind, he has no filthiness of ordinary men.

Qin Li frowned and asked, "I heard? Who told me?"

Can you just say that the way of a scholar is perfect?

Haha, Qi Yuanliang is really a dog!

Tan Ting didn't expect that he neither agreed nor refused, and his first reaction was to ask this. He couldn't help but get stuck for a moment, and his smile became a little more awkward: "I didn't hear anyone say it, I just felt it."

"I heard" and "it is said" are all polite excuses.

Qin Li's face eased a little: "I don't dare to ask for your advice."

The first thing Qi Shan did when he got home was to visit the cats in the yard. Seeing that each of them was shiny and smooth, he was satisfied. He picked out the few he liked the most and fed them with dried fish. He also asked the housekeeper what happened in the house during his absence. After dealing with it, he took a simple bath, changed into new clothes, and prepared to go to the study to play with the cats.

"Parent, Minister Qin is here."

"Qin Gongsu? What is he doing here?"

Qin Li never had good things every time he came to the house.

When he opened the study, he saw Qin Li and Tan Ting sitting opposite each other, discussing the Dao and exchanging spiritual thoughts. They didn't even respond to the noise...

Qishan took a step back and glanced at the study plaque.

No, this seems to be his home, right?

ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

Yesterday, I said that the widow had no emotional line, which meant that there was no personal emotional line. There were so many arrows in the monarch-minister line/friendship line/enemy line that could poke a person into a sieve.

PS: In addition to the protagonist CP, the supporting characters, except for the appearance of the family, are considered by the character setting and the plot to see if there is any possibility.

Qishan, or Tan Qu, before Qishan's death, he actually still had the desire for a normal family, but after Qishan's death, it was basically impossible.

In his heart, he was carrying the lives of two people. He couldn't get married and have children, start a family, and achieve perfection in the eyes of the world.

This should have been Qishan's life, not Tan Qu's.

Plus, he desperately wants trust, and other people (including enemies and friends) can't stand him at all_(:з」∠)_. He got married? It's too harmful.
