Shaking his head secretly, Xiao Ye temporarily threw this problem away and turned his attention to Suo Yuanli's fifth-grade Shangguan Qi. Compared with his eighth-grade, the color is more red, and there are chains of order, like blood vessels running through it.

‘Try it!’

Xiao Ye took a deep breath and moved the two groups of official spirits carefully to get them closer.

The fusion process was quite smooth. After all, Suo Yuanli's official energy was stripped out and he could not return to the court. He was a masterless thing and was not as spiritual as the dragon energy. In Xiao Ye's sea of ​​consciousness, he was naturally slaughtered.

The official spirit after the fusion also brought chains of order. Xiao Ye still couldn't find the purpose. He hesitated and gave up the idea of ​​fusion with talent, because the talent was pure and born from spiritual wisdom. If there were bad results after the fusion, it would be too late to regret it.

Xiao Ye planned to get the Talent to the ninth grade first, and to understand the official spirit as much as possible before making a decision.

With his current talent and rank, he has achieved minimal growth by relying on chanting and reading calligraphy. However, chanting and reading calligraphy can still play a role in tempering the true essence, which has caused Xiao Ye's cultivation to stagnate in the middle of the second tribulation, which is still far from the peak, which makes him quite helpless.

After reading for a while, Xiao Ye fell asleep.

At the same time, the Duke of Zhou’s Mansion!

Wu Chengsi leaned on the soft couch, wearing a middle-clothed shirt, narrowed his eyes slightly, and placed his calf on the jade pillow. Shi Jin was kneeling aside and washing Wu Chengsi's feet.

In the bucket, precious medicinal materials were sprinkled. In the hot steam, the medicinal smell was mixed with sour smells. However, Shi Jin seemed to be used to it and pinched Wu Chengsi's acupoints on his feet.

"Yeah~~ the point is, a little heavier."

Wu Chengsi let out a comfortable slight hum.

At this time, an old eunuch came from behind the hall and whispered to Wu Chengsi.

"oh?"

Wu Chengsi's eyes suddenly opened, and he showed a playful look. He smiled and said, "This guy is quite capable of trouble!"

Shi Jin's intuition must be saying Xiao Ye, so he couldn't help but look up.

Wu Chengsi said again: "On the day when Xiao Ye left the Yousu Zhengtai, he censored Suo Yuanli. The two made an appointment to fight with literary spirit. As a result, Suo Yuanli was defeated. His literary spirit was dissipated, and his spirit was completely lost, which was like a useless person."

Shi Jin was overjoyed and said, "That bastard is rebellious and unruly. This time he dared to commit crimes and seriously injured the imperial official. The Duke of the State can't let him go. He was convicted of corruption and confiscating his family and extermination!"

“Hey~~”

Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said, "Things are not as simple as you thought. At that time, Suo Yuanli invited the battle and explained that no matter the consequences, they would not be investigated. There were many censors of the Right Su Zhengtai as evidence. Speaking of the common people, it is normal to discuss literary spirit among colleagues, and this is not enough to convict. As for Suo Yuanli's injury... the struggle between literary spirits is not revealed in the world. Even if the imperial doctor is invited to diagnose, Suo Yuanli's injury cannot be diagnosed. At most, people are not energetic, so they can't help him."

"Would you just let it go?"

Shi Jin was unwilling to let it go.

Wu Chengsi said quietly: "This son is very sharp, how can those censors tolerate him? Just look at it, you are in some trouble. Zhang Jianzhi replied to Dali Temple, saying that the evidence of your historian's rebellion is conclusive and he asked Dali Temple to investigate it strictly, otherwise he would submit a memorial to the Empress Dowager!"

"Save me!"

Shi Jin immediately turned over and bowed, knocking his head pounding.

Wu Chengsi sneered, "Don't worry, Shi Lang, since you have hiding me, how can I ignore it? The head of the country, the surname Wu is not Zhang. Another day, I will recommend you to the princess of a daughter. If you serve her well, you will have your bright future."

"A daughter princess?"

Shi Jin didn't understand.

Wu Chengsi said lightly: "The Qianjin Princess is the young daughter of Emperor Gaozu. At the last time, she secretly summoned Xiao Ye and wanted to take him as her face, but she refused. My official thought about your relationship and recommended you over, which is also your fate."

‘Come to face? I am a child now, and I have to give an old woman to face?’

Shi Jin couldn't help but look like an old woman with crane hair and chicken skin, she opened her mouth with her teeth and kissed her.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Wu Chengsi said unhappy.

"No, no, I'm just reluctant to let go of the Duke!"

Shi Jin endured his disgust and quickly decided.

"It's good that you have this intention. After you pass, you can come back to serve me. Forget it, I will tell you another secret. If you have learned the way of the princess of a daughter, or you can go directly to the sky, you may soar to the sky in the future, and I will rely on one or two more!"

Wu Chengsi nodded with satisfaction.

"oh?"

Shi Jin was not stupid either. He suddenly thought of the head of the empire, the strange woman over 60 years old. How lonely the cold night!

...

In the early morning, Xiao Ye had just stepped out of the house when he heard a light eh, just as he saw Su Yue'er's beautiful eyes looking at him.

"Su everyone, what's wrong?"

Xiao Ye asked in a daze.

Su Yue'er pondered and said, "I think Xiao Lang didn't see him overnight, and his official power seemed to be a little heavier."

"Um!"

Yin nodded and said, "Even though he is an eighth-rank official, he gives me the feeling of being a fifth-rank official."

Xiao Ye was so arrogant that this was the direct consequence of absorbing the official spirit of Suo Yuanli. He hurriedly said, "You two girls have read it wrong. You obviously feel refreshed when you get up early. It's okay, I'll ask you for a good word. I'll try to get promoted as soon as possible."

As he said that, he passed by and left in a hurry.

Su Yue'er and Yin Yin looked at each other, and suspiciousness flashed in their beautiful eyes.

Xiao Ye left the yard and immediately covered up with the secret method taught by Su Jun. After breakfast, he rode his horse and rushed to Yousu Zhengtai to dian Mao.

There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if Yousu Zhengtai does not want to be public, the incident of Suo Yuanli being deposed has spread. Some people scold Xiao Ye for being wronged, some people are worried about it, and some people applaud it. Instead, it is inside Yousu Zhengtai, and it is silent, as if this has never happened.

Before I knew it, three days passed.

In the past three days, Xiao Ye has become generally familiar with the operation of the Right Su Zhengtai. After all, the censor has great power. Unlike the Ming Dynasty's ministers, there is only the power to submit memorials. In addition to submitting secret letters to the empress dowager, the censors of Wu Tang also have the right to interrogate, arresting people in Taiwan, torture confessions, and internal trials.

The Tai Prison is somewhat similar to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei, but the imperial prison only captures court officials. Usually the Jinyiwei will not interfere with the civilians at will. However, the Tai Prison of Suzhengtai can arrest anyone. Many innocent people just offend a certain censor, or their family property or even their wife and daughter are targeted, and they are labeled and arrested. If they know the knowledge and tact, they can still go out alive. If they are stubborn, they have to try whether their neck is hard or their steel knife is hard.

Of course, for important court officials, you need to understand the Queen Mother’s thoughts before deciding whether to start.

On the evening of the day, Zhou Xing came to the door and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, a few colleagues have booked a banquet for you in the Zuifeng Tower in front, to welcome you, and I can see you all the time!"

"Oh? Since it is an invitation from colleagues, the subordinates are honored!"

"Xiao Ye responded readily.

"It's almost time, Lord Xiao can change his clothes and pass."

Zhou Xing smiled.

"Please wait!"

Xiao Ye nodded, went to the back, changed into casual clothes, and left with Zhou Xing.

Zuifeng Tower is a brothel, which is considered to be a middle-class brothel in Luoyang. It has two floors in front and back, three floors in front, and two floors in the back, and two floors in the back, with a quiet and mysterious place. There is a patio in the middle, covering several acres. In front of the wide gate, there are big red lanterns hanging. Several servants and madams stand at the door to welcome guests.

In fact, it is very common for officials from the Tang Dynasty to visit brothels. Because the market system exists, after eating and drinking, they simply stayed in brothels and got up early the next day to go to the yamen to order Mao.

"Oh, it turns out it's Lord Zhou. What gust of wind has blown you?"

A madam in her thirties welcomed her and knelt Zhou Xing's arm in a familiar way. The bulge on her chest was close to her, obviously an old acquaintance.

Zhou Xing did not avoid Xiao Ye, twisted his face full of powder and laughed: "Is the other person here today's meeting with colleagues?"

The madam smiled and said, "Some of them are here, drinking tea and listening to music in Guixiang Hall. Come on, please bring Lord Zhou in!"

"Yeah~~"
