Chapter 167 Responsible
Forming a party for personal gain has been a taboo in all dynasties.
At least that was true for the emperor.
Especially when the emperor himself is still trapped in partisan struggles.
Since Empress Su Yupan ascended the throne, although she has deposed the original prince, under the guise of the prince, another wave of people in the court headed by the regent have been competing with her.
This group of people is considered the [Regency].
The people on the Empress’ side are the [New Emperor Faction].
Now Su Yupan heard that Huang Youwan, the prefect of Yangzhou, went to Liu Tianba's birthday banquet. He was a little surprised that he was the regent, but he didn't know it.
But if you think about it carefully, when another heavyweight minister of the [New Emperor Faction] in the DPRK celebrated his birthday before, this Huang Youwan seemed to have also been there.
……
Of course, when it comes to celebrating birthdays, even though secretly everyone is from a different political party, after all, they are officials in the same dynasty, so generally speaking, they will invite each other to give face.
But when it comes to important figures from the two factions, the invitation list for the birthday banquet will not be that simple.
......
For example, over the past years, people who attended Liu Tianba's birthday banquet would generally not attend the birthday banquet of another big shot.
And Huang Youwan could actually be entertained by adults from both sides at the same time. Could it be that he...is the kind of neutral person who is smeared with magic oil?
The more Su Yupan thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.
It is easy for a small person to be neutral, but it can be said that it is really not easy for a fourth-grade prefect, and also the prefect of Yangzhou, to mediate neutrality.
But regardless of whether he is from the neutral side or from the [Regency] side, judging from the level of the people that this [Juxian Pavilion] has attracted, it is definitely a taboo.
......
"Qin Lang, what conditions did he set to recruit you?"
"The conditions..."
Qin Lang thought for a while and said honestly:
"The conditions are indeed very generous, with gold, silver, beauties and so on... everything is available, as long as I ask, but...he is the main one He emphasized that there are many rare secular books in the Juxian Pavilion, including martial arts. I heard what he meant. Maybe some people under his banner came to serve him for these books. "
"...him. He's quite rich..."
Su Yupan narrowed his eyes, and then thought about how much bounty Qin Lang received from the world championship at that time. He spent like this every month. After a year, just from this arena, The cost is quite a lot, plus the retainers he supports in Juxian Hall and the large collection of books. How can a prefect acquire these things with the ordinary financial resources?
"It turns out he is a corrupt official, hehe~"
Zhuo Beibei stood next to Su Yupan and patted her shoulder:
"It seems that the current empress is not good either, isn't she? Raise corrupt officials and come out~"
"..."
Su Yu frowned and twisted his shoulders.
If it were anyone else, she would at least give him a look, but for Zhuo Beibei, she could only express her dissatisfaction with this and silence.
Zhuo Beibei also happened to feel depressed about losing at cards.
On the other hand, Qin Lang saw that "Su Yinping" was unhappy, so he glared at Zhuo Beibei for her, and said comfortingly:
"Yinping, she only knows how to talk, your sister does It's good. Where there are people, there are corrupt officials. No matter how wise your sister is, all she can do is control the atmosphere, not everyone."
"But I..."
Su Yupan paused:
“But I know my sister, she is the kind of person who either doesn’t do anything or wants to be perfect.”
“There is nothing in the world. Someone who does everything perfectly? Can she do other things perfectly?"
"No, not many things..."
Su Yupan lay on the table in frustration:< br>
"...That's why she often thinks about doing nothing, but she can't help herself..."
Qin Lang was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the sadness in "Su Yinping's" eyes, and his own eyes. He also quickly flashed some complicated expressions, and then said: "Strictly speaking, sister You can't help herself, right?"
"Hmm...?"
Su Yupan rested her handsome chin on the table, raised her eyelids slightly and blinked:
"Why?"
"If she really wants to do nothing, she can do it. If she wants to be a fool, no one will stop her. Even if she stops, the empress is very powerful in martial arts, so few people should be able to stop her. , but she didn't, and still chose to take responsibility. I think in this regard, she is already better than many emperors in history."
"..."
Su. After Yupan heard the words, he was quiet for a long time before he snorted softly:
"Humph...it seems like you understand my sister very well..."
"Understand a little."
Qin Lang Wan'er:
"Although I haven't seen it, I can guess some things about the Holy Lord from the silver bottle. Sister, just like your hard work The perseverance in practicing martial arts is the same. I believe that Shengsheng is also a perseverant person, but she has embodied this perseverance in other ways and other aspects... For example, as you said, she may do many things. I didn’t want to do it unless it was perfect, but I insisted on doing it in the end.”
“…”
Su Yupan didn’t comment on Qin Lang’s words, but just stopped playing. He continued to write and began to transcribe the story of "Journey to the West" that Qin Lang dictated.
It was not until that night that the empress, who was reading with gusto while transcribing, finally put down her pen, stretched and looked at the thick pile of paper on the table with satisfaction. God comes.
"Jin'er."
"Yes."
"I'm very tired today. Let's quickly get some water to wash up and go to bed early."
“Yes.”
It was indeed still very early in the day, but since the emperor had given the order, Gu Jin naturally followed it.
However, even as a personal guard, even as the "Master Thousand Hands" respected by the Yulin Guards, compared to Su Yupan's own strength, Gu Jin was still too young after all.
So the girl didn't know that when she fell asleep, the empress beside her just raised her hand and brushed it in front of her face, making her sleep more soundly.
The empress herself, with a warm face and a pretty face, tiptoed out of the room secretly.
——————————
"You brat! You have to be responsible for me!"
"I told you that it has nothing to do with me. You are overthinking it. Don't blame me for everything, right?"
" Nonsense! I haven’t touched it myself. It’s just that you touch it every night, so they are bigger than before!”
"Humph! You feel guilty!"
...
Although the lights on the Empress' side were turned off early, there was a lot of fun next door.
Under the covers, the leader of the Tianhe Sect, who unintentionally felt as if his heart had gained a little weight, immediately regarded Qin Lang as a suspect, but Qin Lang simply couldn't agree.
Not to mention whether her occasionally itchy hands every night would have any impact on her one-third acre of barren land.
Even if it is possible, Qin Lang has indeed not seen any results so far.
Therefore, Qin Lang had reason to refuse the little girl's so-called "responsibility". He suspected that when she ate Dabianluo today, the shrimps marinated in rice wine made her drunk, so she developed her own The illusion that the little purse has grown up.
However, while the two were playing around on the bed, there was suddenly a soft knock on the door outside.
Dong dong dong…
“Who?”
