Ye Xiaotian didn't leave Quzi Hutong until the evening. It was dark early in the winter city. It was not too late when he left, but it was already pitch black outside. More than a hundred people lanterns and torches protecting the convoy captain Long swaying across the city. The scene was really spectacular and shocking.

There were Jinwu patrols in the capital, but they saw such arrogant scenes from afar, and only said that there was an extremely precious prince who was traveling. Although he had never seen the official banner or the lanterns indicated his surname, he had not yet reached the curfew, but he did not dare to come forward to stop him and ask for something to be bored, so he even allowed him to go to the inn with a flauntful journey.

Li Qiuchi had never appeared at the Ye family, but was busy settling for Ye Xiaotian. He booked a large high-end inn very close to the Ye family, and went to the Ministry of Rites to hand in a post to determine the time for Dongwen to report. After everything was settled, Ye Xiaotian and his party arrived just in time.

"Sir, this is at the foot of the emperor. Will it be too much for us to be so arrogant?" Even though Su Xuntian highly praised Ye Xiaotian's current authority and status, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Ye Xiaotian's so arrogant and even patrolling Beijing City at night.

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly and whispered: "Do you think that as a magistrate of the border, when I enter Beijing, the emperor will only wait for me to meet? The secret spy of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang man, I am afraid that he will have set his sights on me for a long time, and he will report to the emperor every move."

Su Xuntian was shocked and said, "Then we shouldn't..."

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "What I did is exactly what the emperor hopes to see."

He patted Su Xuntian on the shoulder meaningfully, then hugged Donni's slim waist and walked upstairs very arrogantly. Along the way, Donni's waist bell and foot bells kept ringing, which was really even more nouveau riche than the nouveau riche.

…………

After Ye Xiaotian left, the Ye family gathered under the oil lamp and started a passionate discussion.

Ye Xiaoan said excitedly: "Dad, you have always been worried that your second child will not be satisfied with your life outside. You just came back with good words and asked you to be at ease. Now you believe it? Your second child is in Tongren, and that is the local emperor."

The tiger-headed and treacherous Shuanzhu couldn't help but interrupt, "Dad, aren't you saying that my second uncle is poor and bad, and the yamen is smaller than the land temple?"

Ye Xiaoan glared and said, "Go away, what do you know about little kids!"

Ye Xiaoan put the bench to his father and continued, "The second brother is so promising, why can't we go through it? As the saying goes, one person is enlightened, and the chickens and dogs are ascending to heaven! Besides, the second brother is now the chieftain. He has his own country. We own relatives, so we can't go over to help him watch? Who can guarantee that outsiders don't have the idea of ​​him? Brothers in war, father and son are going to fight!"

"Xiao An is talking about it, father-in-law, don't hesitate, let's go to Tongren with the second uncle!"

Sister Ye, who stroked Lingluo's eyes and shined with pearl jade's eyes and pearl jade's eyes, turned around reluctantly and walked over. She said to Dad Ye intimately, and then glared at her husband and said, "What a second-handed person? He is your younger brother! But brother. He is also a chieftain, so you have to understand some rules!"

Ye Dou nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course I won't blame you or something. This child is honest and kind. He knows to love his family. But with an official position, his family members have to help him maintain it. If anyone becomes an emperor, even if his brother meets him outside, he has to kneel down and perform courtesy, just to set rules for outsiders. So, it doesn't matter if he is alone. If there is an outsider, you have to pay attention to your brother."

Ye Xiaoan said nothing but was eager to say, "Then... should we go back to Tongren with my second brother?"

Ye Dou looked at Dad Ye and said, "Boss, look..."

In the past, the family was a little hesitant. Dad Ye was worried that his son was not doing that well, but just to reassure his family. Ye Xiaoan believed the rumors of others and really thought that Tongren was a remote and barren land. As for Mrs. Ye, she didn't know what the situation was in the second uncle's place, and she couldn't bear to be too far from her parents' home, so she didn't agree.

As a result, the family has not made a decision for a long time. Now that he has seen Ye Xiaotian’s majesty, what else can I say? Dad Ye thought about it, then nodded heavily and said, “The second son has said it more than once, and he mentioned it to me again. Since that’s the case, let’s go to Tongren.”

Dad Ye looked up and said to his daughter-in-law: "Pick up some gifts that are useful to your parents, and I will go back with Xiao An tomorrow and tell your parents what our family means."

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she agreed happily.

Dad Ye smiled and wrinkled his face, his wrinkles on his face were like a blooming flower, and he said happily: "Our Ye family, our ancestors have made a comeback! Xiao An, wait for you to come back, and accompany your father to go to the grave with your second son. Let's put in incense sticks on the ancestors!"

When Tao Xixi, the head of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Qing official department, walked into the uncle's mansion, it was already dark. A servant was lying a lantern in front of him, leading Tao to the flower hall.

Li Xuancheng was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with a bun tied in a Taoist robe, and was sitting cross-legged. Tao Xixi entered the flower hall and stood quietly beside him, not daring to say a word.

The Civil Affairs Group and the Guoqi Group are actually opposite, but under the same roof, they have close ties with each other. At the same time, there are always some people on both sides who have each other's background. For example, this Tao chief was sponsored by Li Xuancheng.

If a national uncle gets involved in the selection of the Grand Secretary in the cabinet, he will probably be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and will be attacked by a civil servant group immediately until he is beaten to pieces. However, if only a small sixth-rank chief is placed, the big guys will not be able to have a quarrel with the National Relations Group for this.

Although both vested interests have different camps and positions, they also require common ground while reserving differences. As long as they do not touch their own bottom line, they will not easily make big fuss.

After a long time, Li Xuancheng let out a long sigh and opened his eyes. When he saw Chief Tao standing beside him, Li Xuancheng showed a satisfied look, put down his shoes, smiled and stood up and said, "Master Tao is here, don't see him, just sit by yourself."

Director Tao smiled and said, "We should respect our uncle!"

Just waiting for Li Xuancheng to sit in a chair with a big sleeve, Director Tao took two steps back and sat down on the chair opposite the lower head, coughing lightly, "When the uncle saw the summons, the official dared not be negligent. As soon as he was released, he rushed over, but he didn't know what instructions did the uncle have?"

Li Xuancheng calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said, "Tomorrow, Ye Xiaotian, the president of Tongren Mansion, went to your department to report to learn the ceremony of seeing the emperor. Do you know about this?"

Tao was the head of the Qing official in the four departments under the Ministry of Rites. He was in charge of guest court and reception of foreign guests. He naturally knew about this matter. In the afternoon, Li Qiuchi's greeting was delivered to him. Tao said a little enviously: "The lower official knows that this Ye Tuan is really lucky. He will be named chieftain soon, and his descendants will enjoy the blessings forever. It is really enviable."

Li Xuancheng laughed and said, "This Ye Xiaotian has little blessings. But a person with little blessings has great luck, which will lead to a long life."

When Master Tao heard something in his words, he couldn't help but look tight and leaned slightly and said, "Mr. Guo said... "

Li Xuancheng looked cold and said in a deep voice: "I hope he dies!"

Chief Tao said in surprise: "What is the uncle who is planning to do? He is the imperial official and is about to become a rank of the border officials of Yongzhen. He..."

As soon as Director Tao was halfway through his speech, he was suppressed by Li Xuancheng's cold gaze.

Li Xuancheng said: "As long as you help your uncle do this, I will give you a good word in front of the empress dowager, a squad will definitely not be able to escape. Even if you give you a doctor, it may not be impossible. How many years will it take for you to get promoted? Ten or twenty years?"

Director Tao said with a bitter look on his face: "But... the official has no power to tie a chicken. He really can't kill anyone!"

Li Xuancheng laughed and said, "Who wants you to kill someone? I just want you to get close to Ye Xiaotian and be friends with him!"

Director Tao was stunned again and said strangely: "What does the national uncle mean?"

Li Xuancheng waved, and Chief Tao hurriedly came over. Li Xuancheng whispered to his escapades. He patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Is it simple? You can work hard for twenty years less with just a little effort. Isn't it worth it?"

Director Tao's eyes were vague, bent his body and raised his butt, but still refused to answer. Li Xuancheng looked cold and said, "Although my uncle is a national relative, he should not interfere in government affairs, it is still easy to remove a small boss, especially... you were originally recommended by my uncle!"

Commander Tao struggled for a while, finally bowed his head and said weakly: "The official knows, just follow the instructions of the uncle!"

Li Xuancheng laughed to the sky: "Hahahaha..."

Yu Wuguo, wearing a flying fish brocade robe, walked through the complex, tortuous and deep imperial court under the guidance of the little eunuch, and came to a quiet palace. The snow had been swept away and piled up beside the wall. Several plum blossoms in the courtyard showed bright red under the light.

Yu Wuguo was unintentionally enjoying the beautiful scenery. He hurried to the corridor. The leading eunuch whispered a few words to the eunuch guarding the gate, and then bowed and retreated. The eunuch guarding the gate said politely to Yu Wuguo: "Master Yu, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Yu Wuguo is the commander of the Jinyiwei now, and he is a close minister of the emperor. The little eunuch is naturally a little polite to him. Yu Wuguo followed the little eunuch into the palace and turned into a quiet room. When he saw the curtain hanging down, sandalwood robe, Emperor Wanli, wearing a bright yellow robe, was reviewing the memorial at his desk.

The joy and freshness of the first emperor's power has disappeared. After two or three years, the Emperor Wanli has become a little disgusted with this kind of life. The old empire, all major decisions are concentrated on him alone, so it is really a matter of daily necessities.

Wanli reviewed two more memorials, looked at the memorials that were still stacked high, sighed, and then raised his head. Yu Wuguo immediately stepped forward to greet him: "My me, Yu Wuguo, bowed to Your Majesty!"

Wanli waved his hand lazily, and waited for him to stand still, then said, "Have Ye Xiaotian arrived in Beijing?"

Yu Wuguo quickly said, "Yes! I have been sending people to stare at him since Tongzhou. This Ye Xiaotian..."

Yu Wuguo told Emperor Wanli in detail about how Ye Xiaotian was so silly that he was distraught. Emperor Wanli, who was upset to criticize the memorials, all regarded it as a joke, and he often showed a laughing expression. After Yu Wuguo finished speaking, Wanli curled his lips, showed a trace of disdain, and said, "From your opinion, what is this person's ambition?"

Yu Wuguo smiled and said, "It is enough to grant a wife and son, and to enjoy wealth and honor forever!"

Emperor Wanli had summoned people from Dongchang, and the situation was roughly the same as Yu Wuguo's statement. When he heard Yu Wuguo say this, Emperor Wanli couldn't help laughing: "Do you want this? Then I can naturally give him some peace and not cause trouble for me."

The Emperor Wanli thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let him go to the Ministry of Rites to learn the rules. Come and see you again in three days, so as to avoid losing your etiquette and losing your moral character!"

Yu Wuguo quickly bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Emperor Wanli brushed his sleeves and walked away. The curtains were split and his figure had disappeared. Only his singing gradually drifted away: "It's a joke that this is a man who has no knowledge in the street market..., his voice is very popular, and his words are not vulgar. Listen to me to count them one by one: the one who eats rice, the one who sells meat... The one who sells rice, the one who sells rice, the one who sells rice, the one who calls Defu: What's the point?"
