"I noticed that you were awake. There was something wrong with your breath just now. What happened?"

she asked with concern.

Xu Qi'an twitched his nose gently and smelled the scent of powder, which was fragrant.

Taking a closer look, Luo Yuheng put on light makeup and looked even more beautiful.

She should have dressed up to show me. Luo Yuheng with this personality is a real, normal woman... Xu Qi'an was just about to praise a few words, when he was suddenly startled, and his pupils reflected

The beautiful silhouette of Luo Yuheng turned out to be a cat girl with animal ears.

A mature lady-type cat girl with animal ears.

.........Xu Qi'an closed his eyes and opened them again. The cat girl was gone. This time, she turned into a centaur. The upper body was a feather duster, a cold and beautiful national master, and the lower body was a horse body.

"Snapped!"

Xu Qian slapped himself hard.

Luo Yuheng frowned slightly:

"What are you doing?"

To bring back my views on mate selection and three views...Xu Qi'an breathed out silently and said:

"No problem, no problem, Imperial Master, don't worry."

He immediately understood that it was Luo Yuheng's eccentric charm that made him see a new image in her besides the image of "kind aunt".

Foreign mother!

And this new image was influenced by the heart Gu. After he made certain compromises and combined with the experience of his previous life, he came up with an image that could not only satisfy the heart Gu's yearning for beasts, but also be acceptable to him to a certain extent.

The Imperial Master is really LSP’s magic mirror...Xu Qi’an forcibly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said:

"National Master, I'm going back to my hometown."

Luo Yuheng hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"If there is nothing urgent, just stay at Lingbao Temple until dusk.

"Tomorrow is the "evil" among the seven emotions, and it is the most difficult negative emotion to control.

"To be on the safe side, I will not practice double cultivation tomorrow. I will set a seal and let myself spend tomorrow in a deep sleep.

"so........."

Xu Qian understood. What she meant was to make up for the double cultivation tomorrow.

After a fierce fight, Xu Qi'an hugged his two long, round and tight legs, pressed his lower abdomen against Luo Yuheng's round buttocks, and said:

"Master, can you meow meow?"

"Guoshi, Wangwang is fine too."

"Master, do you know how a horse barks? Master, why are you poking me with your sword..."

............

Less than half an hour after the court meeting ended, all the well-informed officials in the capital basically knew about the turmoil of today's court meeting.

The future son-in-law of Wang Shoufu, Xu Xinnian, the second son of the Xu family, acted as the spearhead of the "donation policy". He angrily denounced the princes and criticized the nobles in the Jinluan Palace. He begged Your Majesty to adopt his strategy and called for donations.

According to the official from the capital who was standing outside the palace at that time, Xu Erlang had a verbal battle with the princes and scolded all the nobles in the palace, but no one responded.

Although Xu Erlang won in the tongue skills, he was still unable to resist the general trend. Under the strong opposition of the nobles and princes, the court meeting ended in an almost farce.

For a time, Xu Cijiu became a famous figure and the center of the topic.

"I've heard that His Majesty is going to call for donations. The treasury is empty and it will naturally be filled by taxes. There is no reason to let us wait to disperse the money."

"Alas, Your Majesty is young and energetic, and does not follow the rules."

"What you don't know is that this plan to call for donations was thought up by Xu New Year. Your Majesty didn't agree at first. He couldn't bear the thief's clever tongue and described the plan in such a fancy way that it made Your Majesty think that as long as we donate,

With a few taels of silver, disasters in various places can be easily solved."

"Shameless, simply shameless! Xu New Year is really doing everything possible to secure his future. Why doesn't he spend all his wealth? We only have a limited salary, so we can only live from hand to mouth."

"Humph, he's just an official villain."

"Not only is he a villain, he is also a pretty boy. If he hadn't seduced Wang Shoufu's daughter with his effeminate face, he would be nothing."

Forced donations are unpopular and even abhorrent in the eyes of any group in any era.

After all, there are only a few loyal people who are passionate about serving the country and the people.

In addition, Xu was on the New Year's list as the chief minister of the government and had a bright future. He had already attracted a lot of red eyes. There was no doubt that he became the target of abuse and contempt from all levels of the officialdom.

Hanlin Academy.

Xu Xinnian, who was at the center of the storm, ignored the rumors from the outside world and wrote a notice at his desk.

"Farewell to the old days."

Several concubines walked into the hall and said indignantly:

"There is a lot of scolding outside. These ignorant people have spent so many years reading the books of sages in vain."

"Hmph, they are used to living a luxurious life, how can they care about the life and death of the people."

The Hanlin Academy is a clear stream among the clear streams. It has always looked down upon ordinary officials.

If ordinary officials are compared to mud, then they are calling themselves lotuses.

His usual arrogant attitude is annoying.

But they are indeed purer than ordinary officials, their thoughts are clearer, and their minds have not been polluted by the officialdom.

Xu Erlang thought for a while, took out a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen and wrote:

"In the past six hundred years of raising scholars in the dynasty, no matter how hard it is, all the civil and military officials have escaped."

The eyes of several Shujis lit up and they clapped their hands and praised: "Wonderful!"

At this time, Matthew Wen, a serious scholar of the Hanlin Academy, walked in expressionlessly with his hands behind his back.

"gentlemen!"

Xu New Year and several common people bowed and saluted together.

Matthew Wen has an old-fashioned character and has been expressionless all year round, so his face looks stiff. He gave a cold "hmm" and said:

"Xu Cijiu, come to my hall."

After that, he turned and left.

Several concubines gave Xu New Year a "you can do it yourself" expression.

Xu New Year gave a wry smile, and his scalp felt a little numb.

He bowed his hands to his colleagues and left quickly, going to where Matthew was sitting.

Matthew Wen sat behind the desk, holding a brightly glazed blue and white tea cup in his hand, and stared at Xu New Year for a few times through the rising steam.

“Pour your own tea!”

He said calmly.

Xu New Year shook his head: "I'm full of tea and can't eat any more."

Matthew didn't force himself. He was silent for a while and then suddenly said:

"Wang Shouxu's idea?"

Xu New Year shook his head: "It was my own idea, and the Chief Assistant didn't know about it at first. It wasn't until His Majesty adopted my strategy that I informed the Chief Assistant."

Matthew suddenly understood, "I knew how could Mr. Wang let you do such a thing that offends the public. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. Stealing people's money is not much better."

He took a sip of hot tea and continued:

"It would be difficult for Your Majesty to reach out and take money from their pockets, let alone you.

"You haven't even left the Hanlin Academy, and your reputation has already been ruined. That day, you blocked the Meridian Gate with hundreds of officials and denounced Prince Huai, and all your goodwill was ruined because of this incident."

Xu New Year is neither humble nor arrogant: "A truly loyal person will not blame or hate me for this matter."

Matthew Wen is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is responsible for teaching young officials of the Hanlin Academy. Xu Xinnian is also one of his students.

Academician Ma shook his head: "After all, we have to be like the light, so I might as well tell you directly that this plan will not work."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "I just went out for a walk, and there are many people scolding you. Those who are jealous of you want to take the opportunity to deal with you. Be prepared to be impeached tomorrow."

Xu Xinyin bowed and said, "Thank you sir for reminding me."

Matthew Wen waved his hand: "Go."

When Xu New Year returned to the office, several close friends came over again and said:

"Tell me goodbye, go to Jiaofangsi for a drink after my break, and forget all these bad things."

It is normal practice and a common phenomenon for officials to go to the Jiaofang Department together after get off work.

Xu New Year subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he heard a colleague say:
To be continued...
