The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 291: Mr. Yang

Gua Gua: [Fang Qingyi is very thoughtful and he noticed Lian Zhilun’s strange behavior.

You know, when young people in their early twenties see someone they like, they can't help but follow him with their eyes.

Lian Zhilun is of this kind, I read it eight hundred times a day.

Hui Hui denied it, so Fang Qingyi had some guesses at that time.

Until he clearly heard Lian Zhilun tell the Lian family that he would never marry in his life.

Only then did I realize that Lian Zhilun must really like him!

It took Fang Qingyi seven days to come to terms with his own feelings. He did not reject Lian Zhi's theory, and the issue of getting married gave him the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.

Lian Zhilun was fooled, and Fang Qingyi was satisfied.

The fish is hooked.

Lian Zhilun was not a stupid person, and the two of them finally achieved their goal.

However, they are worried that this relationship will not be accepted by the world.

Especially since they read the books of sages and passed the imperial examinations with top scores.

When two people negotiate, they pretend not to know each other and each serve as their own official.

Later, the two felt that this was not safe.

What if Your Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for them and ask them to marry the princess?

After all, the top two candidates in the imperial examinations were often the popular candidates for becoming imperial concubines.

In order to eliminate this possibility, Fang Qingyi and Lian Zhilun felt it necessary to create a scene where the two of them were fighting.

Whenever Emperor Yongning took a fancy to one of them, the other would fight and compete for her, until Emperor Yongning gave up his plan.

And there is another plan for this.

When new officials enter the officialdom, they may be won over by various forces.

On the surface, the two men were fighting each other, but in fact, they were sharing what they had.

As long as there is a force trying to win you over, another person will try to stop it from all sides.

It's the same principle as obstructing Emperor Yongning from selecting a son-in-law.

Besides, the two are enemies on the surface.

Others will not exclude them because of their powerful combination.

In short, the two finally decided to become officials and then oppose each other! 】

Shen Zhao: [Well, this method is quite effective.

I admit that many of the functions he mentioned do exist.

And there is one biggest benefit.

If the two of them don't make their relationship public, others won't use this as an excuse to attack them. 】

Guagua: [That’s right.]

Fang Qingyi and Lian Zhilun are so pleasing to the eye when standing together.

However, host, you just wanted Fang Qingyi to be your consort, which really scared them both.

The princess didn't meet him, but the county lord took a fancy to him.

How painful it must be for both of them! 】

Shen Zhao: [I saw them holding hands, but they immediately put them down when they saw me. It was a bit funny.

Sneaky and furtive.

On a whim, if I wanted to find a county horse.

How should these two people respond?

You know what, when Lian Zhilun heard that I wanted Fang Qingyi to be my princess, his face changed. I just thought he wanted to kill me. 】

Guagua: [Guagua has found a love-hate relationship for you.

Don’t think about this anymore! 】

Shen Zhao: [Okay, let’s have another one!

It just so happens that the court meeting hasn't ended yet, so let's have some fun. 】

At the host's command, Gua Gua happily went to do it.

Soon, Gua Gua found it.

The court officials’ joy was not over yet, as the top scholar and the second place winner Lang had done a great job of keeping the secret.

Fortunately, their daughter did not compete to marry either of the two.

Because they are all so outstanding, everyone wants them as their daughter.

If I can’t choose anyone, I won’t want my daughter.

Okay, everyone admits it!

They couldn’t choose a son-in-law.

They both want a daughter, but they can't decide which one to choose.

The key point is that they didn't know the actual relationship between the two before, and they were really afraid that if they chose one of them as a son-in-law, the other would always follow them.

It really is like this!

Adults all have shadows in their hearts!

The main reason is that these two people were so thoroughly against each other that everyone from the emperor to their superiors believed it!

As for what has been revealed now, according to their understanding of Emperor Yongning.

He wouldn't care at all.

Nor will they punish Fang Qingyi and Lian Zhilun!

Even the officials had to admit that these two people were not only good candidates for studying, but also good candidates for being officials. They could understand government affairs once they were explained and handle public affairs well.

Now the two are in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, and the other four ministries are secretly preparing to wait for the two to complete their three-year terms so that they can grab their own departments.

This is also because all officials treat this melon as a joke and will not do anything inappropriate.

But when they heard that Princess Zhaoming started eating melon again, their hearts skipped a beat.

It won't be their turn now, right?

No, may all the officials bless you!

Gua Gua: [Host, let me tell you a happier story.

The person in the third row, Lord Yang, is a second-rank official.

Lord Yang has a hobby, which is collecting other people's handwritten calligraphy and paintings.

He likes calligraphy, regardless of whether they are masters of calligraphy or not.

He likes to fall asleep with his head resting on the calligraphy and paintings that fill the room. 】

Shen Zhao: [Ah, there are people who have this hobby.

But if that person's painting is average and his handwriting is ugly, will Lord Yang still accept it? 】

Guagua: [Yes!]

Lord Yang specially asked someone to collect them.

However, he only collected calligraphy and paintings by officials in the court.

He doesn’t even want ordinary people! 】

Shen Zhao: [He collected so much just for sleeping?

Could it be that ink has the effect of making people sleep? 】

Gua Gua: [Emperor Yongning liked calligraphy and painting, and encouraged all officials to learn it.

Previously, there was a minister who was favored by Emperor Yongning because of his outstanding calligraphy and painting.

Lord Yang collected the officials' knowledge just to surpass them.

Each person painted one painting. Every time he looked at these calligraphy and paintings, he would have endless inspiration and could find the shortcomings in them and criticize them.

He is absorbing these experiences and making them his own.

Every time, he spent a lot of money to buy it.

Then Lord Yang's friend Lord Li noticed something from the fact that Lord Yang always collected calligraphy and paintings from various ministers.

Lord Li went to hold a meeting with many other lords.

The only person not present at this meeting is Lord Yang.

Lord Li asked the other adults to make some minor changes when writing and painting every month, not much but there should be some difference.

Then Lord Yang became the scapegoat.

Lord Yang's mother's family is the richest family, and Lord Yang himself is quite wealthy.

I have already spent a lot of money to collect calligraphy and paintings, so I can just recruit new colleagues from time to time.

But his colleagues produce new calligraphy and paintings once a month.

Lord Yang was also invited to taste the wine.

Lord Yang was sad to find that the painting style here was different from what he had collected before.

He was surprised, but still spent a hundred taels to buy it!

But, many months passed since then, probably about ten months now.

Every minister has to produce a new batch, and the painting methods and techniques are different.

The price dropped from one hundred taels to ten taels, and Lord Yang bought them all.

By now, the calligraphy and paintings he bought have filled up three rooms!

It was so packed that there wasn't even room to step.

Moreover, Lord Yang couldn't learn it at all.

There are nearly a thousand paintings, and it is impossible to learn them all.

He really couldn’t learn it, and Lord Yang fainted from crying in a room full of calligraphy and paintings.

He still hasn't realized that this is a conspiracy by Lord Li and other Lords! 】

Shen Zhao: [What a big injustice!

What a deep sense of camaraderie!

Lord Yang must have been moved to tears! 】
