    Xuanzhai.

    At night, Yan Xi had another dream of being bitten by that beast that looked like a tiger, leopard and jackal.

    Unlike the snowfield in the last dream, this time the dream is by the lake in summer.

    The lake wind was humid and hot, Yan Xi was sweating all over, one hand propped up in the water, slipped a bit, and half of his clothes were wet.

    The beast catches up.

    Yan Xi wanted to escape, but her limbs were weak, and her throat was innocently exposed to the green eyes of wild beasts.

    When the beast opened its mouth and rushed towards it, Yan Xi smelled a strong smell of blood and medicine.

    Yan Xi stretched out his hand to push back, but the sleeve was torn apart by the beast, and his slender and fair arms were exposed in the wilderness.

    But this didn't ease Yan Xi's anxiety.

    He is still hot.

    His arms and palms were covered with sweat, and the sweat dripped down his wrist into the beast's fur, and the beast grabbed his fingers.

    Yan Xi inhaled convulsively in the dream, thinking that her fingers were going to disappear.

    But the beast actually sucked his fingers gently.

    Yan Xi froze instantly, forgot even struggling, and stared at the beast with wide eyes.

    What kind of animal is this weird beast?

    The face of the beast can still stretch and change, shed its fluff, and slowly turned into a youthful appearance.

    It became Song Beiming.

    Seeing this face, Yan Xi's blood surged immediately, and he opened his mouth to argue with Song Beiming, but Song Beiming leaned over first and kissed his parted lips.

    Yan Xi's body tensed up, and she kicked her legs.

    Woke up.

    Yan Xi sat up in the dark night.

    The last quarter moon has only a thin curve left, which cannot penetrate the darkness of the world.

    The wind in the second half of the night in early summer is still cool.

    Yan Xi, who was unbearably hot, could not feel the coolness. His temples were dripping with sweat, and the sweaty underwear stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable.

    He casually took off his clothes, and suddenly found that his pants were suspiciously wet somewhere.

    This is the second time.

    Yan Xi sat in the dark night sweating profusely and shouted angrily: "Song Beiming, I really hate you."

    It's night, Beiyuan Palace.

    Song Beiming sat up from the bed with a "huh".

    He tossed and turned for most of the night, and what kept lingering in his mind was Xuan Yin's angry red eyes and the bright red lips that were close at hand.

    "It's really bewitched!"

    Song Beiming cursed in his heart, and raised his voice, "Du Yue!"

    The guard Guanling replied in a low voice outside the door: "My lord, the general will send Mr. Xiao Xia away tomorrow, and there is no duty tonight, and he will be back in five days."

    Song Beiming snorted, and asked irritably, "Has Fang Xun been back?"

    Guan Ling said, "I haven't seen General Guan."

    Fang Xun didn't come back, so there was no news of Xuan Yin.

    Song Beiming groaned, and asked again: "Ask someone to send Zi Yuan, I have something to order tomorrow morning."

    "No." Guan Ling replied, after thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice through the door: "Master, I heard you read all night, while Mr. Xia Xiao is here, would you like to invite him to show you?"

    Song Beiming thought for a while and said, "No need, it's time to be ugly, don't disturb Mr. Xiao's slumber."

    early morning.

    Song Beiming, who had finally slept for an hour, woke up with some strange reaction. He sat up suddenly, and lifted the quilt to have a look.

    All of a sudden, there was a thunderbolt, and he looked at the wet piece of his underwear incomprehensibly.

    This is simply... unreasonable!

    It's even more evil than bewitched by a gu!

    Song Beiming panted heavily and shook his head vigorously, but it still didn't help.

    In that dream, Zhuangyuan Lang was dressed in snow silk, his eyes were red, his hands were on his knees, and he looked up at him longingly.

    Master Xuan's eyes were so clear that there was no impurity, and his fair cheeks were flushed, but there was no desire at all.

    Like simply wanting a glass of water, a gust of wind, a little comfort.

    But such a pure cuddle can easily induce monstrous desires.

    Song Beiming thought that Xuan Yin was the most cunning opponent he had ever met, and he used all kinds of tricks to force his mind into a difficult situation.

    However, Xuan Yin himself didn't know anything about it, he was completely innocent, and even in other people's dreams, he was as pure and beautiful as a moon god.

    Song Beiming warned himself not to be so easily bewitched.

    Everything is because of "honor", don't put too much effort into it.

    However, 'Rong' is enthusiastic, so it is difficult to explain why Xuan Yin in the dream is not enthusiastic.

    Song Beiming had never been attached to anyone or anything, he knew that because of Ku Rong, he and Xuan Yin probably could not be separated.

    That being the case, it's better to get close to him, analyze him, and control him until you can get rid of him.

    Song Beiming consciously found a way out.

    In such an embarrassing and suffocating early morning, Song Beiming ordered with big dark circles under his eyes: "Guanling."

    Guan Ling came to the door and asked, "What's the matter, master?"

    Song Beiming said: "Ask Zi Yuan to buy the houses around Xuanzhai, and settle them down. I will live there."

    Guan Ling thought he heard it wrong: "The master is going to be placed near the Xuanzhai?"

    Song Beiming didn't explain too much, and ordered: "Ask Zi Yuan to do it today, the sooner the better."

    Guan Ling responded repeatedly.

    Chunyu Gongfu.

    In the upper room, Chunyu Nanyan was combing Yan Ling'er's hair. She was very dexterous and combed the beautiful bun.

    Yan Ling'er is going to Chunyu's family's horse farm today. Tete is wearing a red riding suit, which complements her red lips and white teeth. She only wears two jade flowers, but she can't stop her inborn nobility., looked at Chunyu Nanyan with sparkling eyes, pointed to the other party's hairpin and said, "Sister, this hairpin is so beautiful, I want to make a similar one, and wear it with my sister."

    Chunyu Nanyan's heart was soft, her eyes were full, she looked at Yan Ling'er with a short body and said: "The princess will be ready soon, Nanyan bought many sets of jewelry for the princess, when the time comes, the princess will wear them all for Nan Yan to look at."?”

    Yan Ling'er dimpled with a smile: "Okay, I also want a set that is the same as my sister's."

    Chunyu Nanyan's wrists were as white as snow, she gently held Yan Ling'er's hand and said, "Whatever Nanyan has, give it to the princess, okay?"

    Yan Ling'er nodded, as if there were stars in her eyes: "Okay."

    At this moment, the servant came to report: "Eldest Young Lady, there is a letter."

    Chunyu Nanyan led Yan Ling'er to the table to drink tea, she opened the letter, read the end of the letter, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

    Yan Ling'er asked, "What are you laughing at, sister?"

    Chunyu Nanyan said softly: "If there are too many tigers, leopards and wolves on a mountain, the cattle, sheep, rabbits and poultry cannot survive. Now give the princess a sword, who does the princess want to hit?"

    Yan Ling'er's eyes were wide open, and she said delicately and fiercely: "Hit the biggest tiger!"

    Chunyu Nanyan nodded approvingly, and couldn't help leaning over to look at Yan Ling'er carefully and asked, "Why did you pick the biggest one?"

    Yan Ling'er said: "If you hit it, the other beasts will scatter."

    Chunyu Nanyan was persuasive and persuasive: "Why do you want to beat wild animals?"

    Yan Ling'er said bluntly: "There are too many beasts and not enough cattle and sheep. In the end, the beasts will starve to death, and the forest will lose its vitality. It is like fishing in a dry lake, and hunting by burning forests. To keep the forest alive, there must be no too many beasts..”

    Chunyu Nanyan was amazed by Yan Ling'er's answer. Chunyu Nanyan looked at Yan Ling'er with a smile and said, "The princess is wise. My sister and your imperial brother also think the same way. Will my sister fight a tiger for you?"

    Yan Ling'er said loudly, "Okay."

    Chunyu Nanyan said inscrutably: "How about Nan Yan asking the princess to watch a show of 'skin to bone'?"

    Yan Ling'er tilted her head and asked, "What do you mean by peeling the skin and seeing the bones?"

    Nine days later.

    The fourth day of May.

    Ministry of Works new appointment down.

    Pei Qingshi, the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was promoted to minister of the Ministry of Works.

    The former Ministry of Works right servant Zhou Xu transferred to the left servant.

    Liang Xi, the former head of the Ministry of Works Yuheng Qingli Department, was impeached and imprisoned in the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of his involvement in the Liu Bing case.

    Xuan Yin was promoted to the head of the sixth-rank Ministry of Works Yuheng Qingli Division because of his meritorious service in impeachment, and temporarily acted as the doctor of the fifth-rank Yuheng Qingli Division.

    He Mian, who was originally from Qipin Engineering, was promoted to Zheng Qipin Engineering.

    After reporting these personnel adjustments, He Mian respectfully said to Yan Xi: "Congratulations to Master Xuan for his promotion."

    Yan Xi looked up from the document, smiled appropriately, and said, "Master He is also happy."

    He Mian solemnly knelt down and saluted: "The next official is Tianxi's Jinshi for twelve years. Since he became an official, he has been in the position of the eighth rank and the seventh rank., engineering, and four subjects, they work hard every year, and they are not excellent every time they are inspected. The official has been calm, and he didn't want to be promoted to the head of one of the subjects this time. I heard that this time was recommended by the Xuanda staff.Your Excellency has not achieved anything under his tenure, but Master Xuan treats you favorably, he is grateful, and I am really terrified."

    "Please, Mr. He." Yan Xi put down the documents and said, "I came to work in the engineering department, and found that all kinds of documents are classified and sorted out, and the introductions are clear. You can answer all the big and small matters fluently, and the tasks assigned are also neat. Especially in Liu Bing's caseI did not show up for the funeral. You cooperated very well with the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate according to my account. With your strength, you have been suppressed for many years, which is really delayed. Since I am your officer, I will truthfully report your achievements.Your duty, Mr. He, don't be afraid."

    "The actions of the subordinate officials are all internal affairs, which are not worth mentioning." He Mian stood up, closed the door and window, and said in a low voice, "The emperor sent a eunuch to send a message the day before yesterday, asking me to report directly to the heavens in the future.The report will be decided by Master Xuan."

    Emperor Tianxi's move is equivalent to leaving the power of engineering to Yanxi. Yan Xi was a little surprised, and then nodded after being slightly startled: "Is there a purpose for this, Your Majesty?"

    He Mian said: "No, it's just an oral instruction. The eunuch said that this metaphor has not been recorded."

    Yan Xi understood, and said: "Then it will be like what the Holy Majesty said, from now on, you will report to the official in private."

    He Mian nodded, thinking about something else, and reported to the police: "Recently, there may be a disturbance in Jingdu, Master Xuan, do you feel something?"

    Yan Xi snorted, pretending not to know: "Recently, the number of impeachments has been higher than in the past, but the impeachments are all minor details of small officials. Why does Mr. He think that there will be a storm of supervision?"

    He Mian sternly said: "I have been an official in Jingdu for thirteen years. Although I have never held an important position, I have served in the four departments. I have seen several disturbances in supervision. I dare to say that this timeThe turmoil may not end easily, and it is likely to ferment into a storm."

    Yan Xi asked with great interest: "Master He, please speak."

    He Mian said solemnly: "This supervision incident was initiated by a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy of the Eighth Rank, who participated in the impeachment of the head of the Ministry of Officials of the Sixth Rank for 'the family is not righteous and favors concubines and destroys wives'.A number of petty officials followed suit and impeached the scandals in the families of officials from the six ministries. Jingdu and everyone used these revelations as an after-dinner conversation. Then some civil servants rushed forward, some were involved in their colleagues, some were involved in the upper hand, and all parties were in a hurry.It is a common practice to be impeached first. Among the officials who have been impeached, the highest-ranking official is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The one who participated was a bad friend. He has proved his innocence.

    Yan Xi lightly said: "I have heard about these things, but the things that can be involved are all self-defeating, and it's not a big deal."

    He Mianji said seriously: "All the storms in history started with the private morality of small officials, and then sparked heated discussions, and then rose to morality, and then touched political officials, and even high-ranking officials later joined in the impeachment of important government officials.It's an important job. The following officials look at this turmoil, and every step of development is like this. According to this, the object of this participation will soon be promoted to the six departments and even the central. Once the Inner Pavilion is also included in the list, it will surelyLike a storm, those involved will either die or be injured!"

    Under He Mian's analysis, Yan Xi slowly deepened his smile, and he said, "Master He has a great opinion, and Wei Yu admires it."

    Seeing that Yan Xi was neither surprised nor refuted when he heard his "sensational" words, He Mian was secretly startled.This shows that his officer, who is ten years younger than him, did not see through the situation later than him.

    The more Yan Xi smiled calmly, the more chilled He Mian became, and only then did he understand why Emperor Tianxi ordered him to ask Xuan Yin everything.

    What made He Mian even more creepy was that the young sixth-rank official in charge concluded lightly: "Master He, as officials of the science and Taoism, we must not fall behind in every supervision storm.We need to monitor the storm and drive away the storm. Under this storm of 'peeling the skin to the bone', we need to recognize who will be exposed after the wind subsides and the tide recedes."

    He Mian was shocked, his legs went limp, and he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

    He never expected that Xuan Yin could see farther and more accurately than him.

    It was only then that he deeply realized that Xuan Yin really had a great talent that never came out of the world, and he definitely did not rely on ulterior motives to make a fortune as rumored in private.

    He was glad that he had not shown any contempt for the younger generation in front of the other party, otherwise he would offend such a talented and stunning person, and his official career would be ruined in this life.

    The sun was setting.

    Yan Xi strolled on the way back to the house, when he reached the alley, he felt something was wrong.

    Due to its remote location, this alley was rarely visited by people, but today it was full of people coming and going, and several house doors were repainted.

    When he walked to the front of Xuan Zhai, he looked at the new facade opposite and felt suspicious.

    Suddenly there was a sound of "squeak", the wooden door opened, and the person who didn't see him heard his voice first, a string of silver bell-like laughter swayed out first, and then he saw a corner of purple gauze clothes.

    Seeing that it was a woman, Yan Xi turned around to avoid suspicion, and went to push the door of Xuanzhai.

    Who would have thought that the woman stopped him: "Is this young master the owner of the house opposite?"

    Yan Xi could only turn around and salute: "Yes."

    The woman was pleasant: "My name is Zi Yuan, and I just came to Jingdu from the west. My family official has just been promoted to a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and he often does business outside. I think the young master is a scholar, and our neighbors will take care of him in the future."

    Yan Xi nodded cautiously, pressed his eyelashes and looked at the other party, and entered Xuan's house without saying anything.

    After closing the courtyard door, Yan Xi felt something was wrong.

    He smelled the smell of meat wafting from next door.

    He lives next door to a poor family, who are reluctant to eat a piece of meat for a month. Today is not a festival, how can they eat meat?

    Something is wrong.

    The newcomer to the opposite door and the abnormal next door both reveal a man-made weirdness.

    Yan Xi lowered his gaze, staring at the not-so-high courtyard wall: Such style and ability... Song Beiming?

    What the hell is that rogue trying to do?!
