The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Chapter 69 The Emperor's Substitute 16

For several days, Xuanyuan, apart from the morning court, was familiar with government affairs in the imperial study. The secret guards he had sent out to find the talents listed in 0617 had also returned. All the talents listed in 0617 had been found.

After learning that the person who gathered them was the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty, these people no longer had the idea of ​​resisting. Instead, they felt extremely honored and began to work for Xuanyuan with great excitement.

These people had their own arrangements, and they were like seeds sown to where they should grow. At this time, they were just sprouting, but one day, these inconspicuous and unknown seeds would grow into towering trees.

Xuanyuan had already issued an imperial decree to give Gu Wenqing the title of the prince that was promised to him. As the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, Gu Wenqing finally had the qualifications to serve as an official in the court.

Otherwise, given his father's harsh treatment of him, he had been left unattended before, unable to take the imperial examinations, and his father did not seek an official position for him. Even if he had no talent, he would have wasted all his time and could only spend his days in emptiness in the mansion.

No matter how Gu Wenqing handled his relationship with the mansion after he got the position of the prince, within three days after the Xuanyuan imperial edict was issued, he entered the court as the prince of the Marquis's mansion and became a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.

Although the official position was not high, the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the silver and grain in the world, and had considerable power, especially now that the court needed to allocate grain for disaster relief or war with the Qin Dynasty, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were now quite influential in the court.

Among the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, the proportion of officials from the Shen family was the smallest. After all, the Shen family was a military family and had the greatest power in the army. Among the civil servants, there were indeed people who joined the Shen family, but most of them were unsuccessful, and the number was not large.

After entering the court, Gu Wenqing presented the policy paper he had written with great effort. This policy paper was indeed meaningful, and Xuanyuan ordered the Ministry of Revenue to implement it. By the way, he mentioned Gu Wenqing's official position and promoted him to the fifth rank.

"Your Majesty..." After Xuanyuan had dinner that day, he planned to take a nap before continuing to handle government affairs. The eunuch didn't know what news he received from the eunuch running errands below. When he walked back to Xuanyuan, he looked embarrassed, as if he had something to say.

"Whatever it is, just say it directly." Xuanyuan glanced at the eunuch standing beside him and frowned slightly. He was able to serve the emperor for a long time, so his eyesight was definitely not bad. If he showed this look, I'm afraid the matter was not simple.

But Xuanyuan thought carefully, nothing should have happened in the past few days. The war with Daqin has been going on, with small wins and small losses, and at present, Daqing Dynasty has the upper hand, and the Qin family army is not a vegetarian.

As for disaster relief, Xuanyuan stepped up efforts to implement the method in Gu Wenqing's policy paper, which was quite effective. Now the breach of the Yellow River has been repaired, and many victims have been properly resettled, and there has been no public resentment due to the Yellow River flood.

Xuanyuan thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything that could make the eunuch look like this, as if he would be furious if he said something wrong.

"Didn't His Majesty order that Concubine Yuan could go to the side hall to see His Majesty's substitute and Concubine Rou at any time? This morning, Concubine Yuan came to see them, and there was a little... small conflict." The eunuch said with an embarrassed and apologetic smile, and couldn't help but glance at Xuanyuan's face while speaking.

Xuanyuan frowned slightly: "Concubine Yuan? Didn't she claim to be sick? Why, did she cause any trouble?" As if thinking of something, Xuanyuan frowned slightly, "Yan Junxian is not injured?"

The chief eunuch shook his head slightly: "We understand what your majesty means. Concubine Yuan is a little too excited. We dare not let her get close to that person, but Concubine Rou is not doing well."

"As long as Yan Junxian is fine." Xuanyuan replied indifferently. He was afraid that Shen Xiaoyue would kill Yan Junxian or... ahem, do some irreversible harm to Yan Junxian's descendants.

If that's the case, how can Yan Junxian leave offspring, and who should be entrusted with the country of Daqing Dynasty? Therefore, Yan Junxian's safety must be guaranteed and must not be lost.

As for Li Mingxue, what does it have to do with him? The original owner's wish was to avenge Li Mingxue.

Although Xuanyuan himself did not want to argue with women, and did not interfere except to make Li Mingxue and Yan Junxian dislike each other, in essence, he did not care much about Li Mingxue.

However, since the eunuch was able to show this look, I am afraid that this conflict is not small. Xuanyuan frowned and decided to postpone his nap and go to the side hall to see what they are doing: "Forget it, let's go and see what they are doing."

Xuanyuan stood up and strode towards the side hall. Originally, he was familiar with government affairs. Xuanyuan was in a good mood recently, but he did not expect that the court was calm and the harem was in turmoil. Now it seems that Shen Xiaoyue should be sent away from the palace as soon as possible.

Xuanyuan was certainly unhappy with Yan Junxian's actions, but he was not moved by Shen Xiaoyue's original tragic experience except for a little pity. The fact that she ended up like that is inseparable from the Shen family's own excessive power grab and Shen Xiaoyue's own stupidity.

After entering the side hall, Xuan Yuan saw broken porcelain all over the floor. He frowned and looked around the hall. He didn't see Shen Xiaoyue. He probably left, and Yan Junxian was still chained in the inner room.

"Where's Li Mingxue?" Xuan Yuan frowned and asked in a cold tone.

The two palace maids who were secret guards and guarded the palace like wooden logs, Yi Fu Shen said: "The concubine Rou has suffered some injuries and is now being diagnosed by the imperial physician."

Although Xuan Yuan ordered that Yan Junxian and Li Mingxue must rely on their own hands for daily living and no one else could help them, he was not so mean as to not call in a doctor even if they were injured or sick. At this time, he gave a slight smile. Nodding, he asked casually: "How is the injury?"

The two palace maids looked at each other before replying: "Concubine Rou only hurt her face, but everything else is fine."

A ray of darkness flashed across the dark eyes very quickly, and Xuan Yuan's eyebrows frowned: "Shen Xiaoyue ruined Li Mingxue's appearance?"

For women, appearance is more important than life. In the past, those female cultivators in the world of cultivation would have endless hatred for anyone who dared to hurt their faces when fighting. Shen Xiaoyue ruined Li Mingxue's appearance. No matter what the reason was, it was a bit too vicious.

Not to mention that nothing has happened now, even in the original plot, the person who dealt with the Shen family and Shen Xiaoyue was Yan Junxian. Li Mingxue never intervened, not even fueling or fanning the flames behind them.

From this point of view, Shen Xiaoyue, who did something like ruining a person's appearance, felt sorry for Li Mingxue. Even if she had anger and hatred in her heart, she could have gone against Yan Junxian - even though he had done it before Yan Junxian left his heir. No one would hurt Yan Junxian, but Shen Xiaoyue shouldn't anger others.

Yan Junxian owed Shen Xiaoyue, but Li Mingxue...strictly speaking, she didn't owe Shen Xiaoyue anything. After all, Shen Xiaoyue and Li Mingxue are just concubines who feast on Junxian, aren't they?

"I think Concubine Yuan Gui is a little confused because of her illness. Let her stay in Qifeng Pavilion peacefully and don't come out unless nothing happens." Xuan Yuan frowned slightly, worried that Shen Xiaoyue would come to trouble Yan Junxian and Li Mingxue. Simply confine her to Qifeng Pavilion.

Under the current situation, Shen Xiaoyue must either leave the palace quickly or stay in Qifeng Pavilion and not come out at will. The trouble she made today has eliminated the last trace of Xuan Yuan's sympathy for Shen Xiaoyue. The so-called pitiful people have their own hateful nature. Here, Shen Xiaoyue wants to die, so let her go.

It doesn't matter even if Shen Xiaoyue cannot complete the task of making her happy life, Xuan Yuan doesn't care too much about this in the first place.

"Let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat Li Mingxue, don't worry about anything, don't be reluctant, try to cure her injuries." Xuan Yuan ordered, and strode towards the inner room where Junxian was banquet. He and Li It doesn't matter to Mingxue. Apart from arranging for the imperial doctor to treat her, there is no need to visit her.

After entering the inner room, Xuan Yuan saw Yan Junxian sitting on the bed in a daze. He was now very embarrassed, with disheveled hair, a beard all over his face, and a faint sour smell on his body. Although Li Mingxue was only the daughter of a minor official, , but if you don’t touch Yang Chun Shui with all your fingers, naturally you can’t take care of Yan Junxian.

"Everything Li Mingxue suffered today was all because of you. The evil you did to Shen Xiaoyue was the responsibility of others in the end." Xuan Yuan stood five steps away from Yan Junxian with an indifferent expression, "Yan Jun Xian, do you still feel that you did nothing wrong?”

It is not wrong to deal with the Shen family, but to use and deceive a woman and to go too far against the Shen family is a mistake. If Yan Junxian had not acted so ruthlessly, things would not have developed to this point.

"Since Li Mingxue is injured and can't take care of you for the time being, you have to rely on yourself. You have to do the daily routine yourself." Xuan Yuan glanced at Yan Junxian lightly, and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He turned around and wanted to leave.

After Xuan Yuan took a step forward, Yan Junxian asked in a hoarse and low voice from behind: "She... Roubi, is she okay?"

"My face was ruined by Shen Xiaoyue." Xuan Yuan left these words in a calm tone, and left the side hall without looking back. Waiting to stand under the scorching sun, in the heat of noon, Xuan Yuan sighed suddenly , "0617, it is really difficult to understand the cause and effect of good and evil, right and wrong, and reincarnation in this world."

Just think of the entanglement between Yan Junxian, Li Mingxue and Shen Xiaoyue. It is difficult to distinguish who is good and who is evil, who deserves the crime and who is innocent. The karma and grudges between them are so entangled that Xuan Yuan, an outsider, really can't tell who is right and who is wrong.

0617 was a little confused and a little confused: "Host, do we have to think so much?" It thought for a while and then whispered, "No matter who is right or wrong, it is the business of others. Host, please use your own opinion. That’s it.”

Xuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He suddenly became enlightened as if he had seen the mist through the clouds. He laughed out loud, with some willfulness and transparency in his dark eyes: "Yes, things in the world are complicated and ever-changing, so we should treat them as 'I' It is the Lord. Good and evil reside in my heart!”
