Chapter 197 A fox and a dog fighting each other
The morning light penetrated the clouds and poured into the main hall of the palace.
“You are saying that Mr. Xie deliberately eliminated some handsome men who meet the conditions for palace selection?”
The white jade steps winding up, the curtains hanging lightly, and the incense burner curling up The green smoke is lingering and lingering, making people hold their breath and suppress their voices.
Huo Junting knelt on one knee on the ground, dust dancing in the dim light. His tone was slow and solemn: "Your Majesty, the extension of the royal family's heirs is a major matter in the country, and it is also an urgent matter in the court. Although Mr. Xie has always acted with moderation, this time he was too harsh. There were only fifteen talented men left in the first round, and in the second and third rounds, there were fewer and fewer people each round. If they are truly for His Majesty..."
Just as he was speaking eloquently and was about to get down to the topic, the eunuch outside the palace announced: "Thank you, Master Xie~"
The interrupted Huo Junting's back froze, and he slowly raised his eyes.
Xu Shanshan glanced at Huo Junting's expression, turned his eyes with unclear meaning, and smiled: "He arrived in time."
Wearing a blue-dyed court dress with late winter tones, he stepped into the palace, golden Inlaid with azure blue, it is dazzling and dazzling, just like the graceful and ethereal posture of dragon and phoenix.
Xie Yujin entered the palace to meet the Emperor Yue, dressed upright from head to toe. Huo Junting's peripheral vision was inevitably swept away, and her heart was cold.
However, Xie Yujin was not surprised to see Huo Junting, who had entered the palace first. He unfolded his sleeves, and the sunlight cast tiny shadows, like a golden tapestry spread out.
After bowing to Xu Shanshan, Fang said: "Your Majesty, I am here to report the results of the palace election."
"Are you the only one?" Xu Shanshan asked him.
"Since I am the one who selects the officials, and the final candidate is determined by me, I will report the results first, and other adults will explain it in detail to Your Majesty later." Xie Yujin Methodically.
He didn't seem to see Huo Junting poking around here. Maybe it was because Huo Junting was here that he came alone, and the timing was quite subtle.
"Tell me about it."
"There are a total of seventy-eight handsome men left after the palace election, and their lists are all on this."
Xu Shanshan scanned the list presented to him. In this process, from the initial understatement, to the fixed gaze, and finally slowly raising the eyes, a strange smile appeared on the lips.
"Yes, these people are really carefully selected by Mr. Xie. I am very satisfied, but..."
Xie Yujin was obviously confident about this list, and suddenly Hearing the word "just", he was puzzled and said: "Just? Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"A quarter of an hour ago, Major General Huo just presented a complete list of talented men, which included Wei Canghao, the Overlord of Longdong, Master Jiashan, the famous monk, Chi Jiangdong, the Young Master of the Twelve Link Village, and Li Yehe, the Dark Emperor of Sheyuan , I don’t know who Xie Shaofu’s palace selection is. Is it too harsh that even people like them can lose the election? "
Xie Yujin didn't expect Huo Junting to be so smart. He knew that Huo Junting would complain to Emperor Yue in private, such as adding jealousy to himself. Thoughts and speculation.
Unexpectedly, he would think of directly compiling the complete list of Xiu Nan this time into a book before submitting it to the case. He must also have focused on selecting some "typicals" to give examples to make Emperor Yue doubt him. and dissatisfaction.
But since he dared to do it, he also dared to face questioning.
"I have reasonable grounds for elimination. This list is for the eliminated personnel. I have detailed comments and reasons for each one on it... If there is anything wrong, I am willing to accept the punishment for dereliction of duty."< br>
Xie Yujin respectfully took out another roster that had been prepared and handed it over.
Huo Junting was stunned and looked at him in slight surprise.
Xie Yujin raised her head with a wry smile on her face, as if she had some self-pity and said: "Your Majesty, if you suspect that I deliberately targeted them and caused them to lose the election because of your Majesty's previous affairs with them, then Gu Yue Where's Garon? I just think that the concubines in the harem should be weak rather than strong, and they should live in a household rather than be wild. In fact, the origins, experiences and personalities of these four people are not suitable for being in the palace, but Master Gu Yue is still suitable for the moment. "
What a great Mr. Xie!
Not only was he cautious, but he was also meticulous in his actions. Huo Junting knew that he really underestimated him.
If the chess move is just one step away, he recognizes it. Xu Shanshan saw Huo Junting's expression dark and gloomy, and turned to Xie Yujin, who was as relaxed as usual. The outcome of this round was obvious.
She glanced at the three rosters on the case and smiled, but did not say anything more: "Thank you for your trouble, Mrs. Xie."
Xie Yujin But the sycophant who once played the emperor in the palm of his hand, what is he best at? Naturally, he uses glib words to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates.
As for Huo Junting, a general who led troops to fight, he was certainly intelligent and keen, but in terms of cunning and cunning, he could hardly compare with shady power seekers like Xie Yujin.
"In order to serve His Majesty, I must do my best. Besides...I have a word with Your Majesty first."
Although Xie Yujin reminded himself not to be anxious, he also had something intolerable...that is, to stand upright and aboveboard. By Emperor Yue's side, no one would ever think that he was wishful thinking.
Xu Shanshan's expression did not change. She was far more calm than Xie Yujin: "If this matter is completed perfectly, I will naturally be rewarded. You can go on."
"I have one more thing to report."
"Say."
"Recently, evil magic has been prevalent in Shengjing. In order to prevent someone from not upholding their duties and using swordsmanship during the palace selection process, I suggest that these talented men be searched first to rule out any suspicious things." Xie Yujin suggested righteously.
This is somewhat interesting.
Everyone knows that the use of magic has been banned by Emperor Yue both inside and outside the palace. Now that the temple has been burned down, who can still agree to this?
"Who is Mr. Xie proposing to be in charge?"
"I am bold and want to ask your Majesty for help."
The two immediately looked at each other.
The eyes met, just like two meteors streaking across the world, and seemed to be tied by invisible threads. Xie Yujin felt that time had frozen in this moment, and the memories of the past were like butterflies, weaving a web in his heart.
He couldn't help but tighten his palms, feeling wet.
Will she... agree?
After a long time, Xu Shanshan stood up. She used her fingers as "wolf hairs", soaked in spiritual power, hung her wrists to transport her power, and walked like a dragon. Her mysterious aura drew a simple and charming charm in the void. Then it penetrated into Xie Yujin's body.
Xie Yujin only felt a warmth in his chest, and the warmth on his body disappeared. He stretched out his hand and pressed it gently.
"Go and search, Gu Zi has a glance in your body, and you are with Gu Zi. If any handsome man has a problem, Gu Zi will warn you."
Xie Yujin's purpose When he reached it, his eyelashes were covered, and his eyes seemed to be shimmering in the lake of his heart, with layers of ripples, and there was excitement and joy hidden in his eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Xie Yujin left "satisfied", Huo Junting lowered his head like a defeated hound: "I am incompetent..."
"Raise your head, Huo Junting. This is not your battlefield."
Huo Junting knew that Emperor Yue would be willing to continue to have an ambiguous and ambiguous relationship with the Xie family, just because the court needed the Xie family to balance and support, and the thorn in his flesh , if you pull it out rashly, it will either heal or injure you more...
Obviously, he can't help His Majesty deal with the Xie family, and even hinders His Majesty.
Xu Shanshan suddenly shouted: "Mo Han."
I saw a simple and thin figure stepping out from behind the curtain. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Mo Han, your Majesty." ,Long live my emperor."
