Chapter 105: Has she not provoked the Dog Emperor recently?
The next morning, after the court meeting ended, Song Yunchu wanted to go to the imperial study as usual, but was informed by a eunuch in front of the emperor that he didn't need to go.
"Sir Song, His Majesty said that there are not many memorials these days, so your assistance is not needed. Please do as you please."
When Song Yunchu heard this, he remained calm on the surface, but he had some plans in his mind.
It has been a year since the Dog Emperor ascended the throne, and Prime Minister Song has been assisting him all the time. No matter how big or small the government affairs are, he allows Prime Minister Song to interfere.
When government affairs were busy, Song Xiang would assist in some of the work. When there were fewer affairs, the two would play chess and chat. Although they each had their own ulterior motives, they could still get by with face.
The so-called favorite of the emperor was killed by praise in the later period, but in the early period, the two of them did have a mutually beneficial relationship. It's a pity that the crappy author forcibly lowered the intelligence of the villain, which made this pair of monarch and minister die miserably in the end.
She thought that she had been working diligently since she became the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty. Although she was lazy occasionally, she had never shown any intention of betraying the king. The Dog Emperor obviously had a different opinion of her. Many times when she argued with ministers, the Dog Emperor was happy to stand on her side.
Of course she doesn't like working overtime, but if she never has to work overtime again, it would be a worry for her.
Not being able to enter the imperial study is tantamount to reducing her rights in disguise.
The eunuch just said that he didn't need to go for a few days. How long is a few days? Two or three days is fine, but if he still doesn't need to go for four, five, six, or seven days, the wind direction in the court will change.
Has she not provoked the Dog Emperor recently?
Even if she did something wrong, it would be enough to warn her privately. As long as it does not harm her wealth and power, everything is fine.
Song Yunchu thought about it and suddenly had a guess.
She drank too much that night, and must have really offended the Dog Emperor. The Dog Emperor said nothing and pretended nothing happened, but privately he was getting angrier and angrier, and felt annoyed when he saw her, so he thought, out of sight, out of mind?
After all, she is a man now, and no straight man can remain indifferent after being teased by a man.
well……
If that was the case, the dog emperor wouldn't leave her alone for too long, right? Maybe she could just sulk for a few days. After all, it would be tiring for him to read so many memorials by himself.
He is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration and will not break the harmony between the monarch and his subjects because of a little personal emotion.
Well, let him calm down for two days.
She no longer had to go to the Imperial Study, but she still had to go to the Mingjing Division. The Mingjing Division had so many spies that she had to inspect them regularly and not allow them to be lazy.
When Song Yunchu stepped into Mingjingsi, he saw a familiar figure sitting at the doorstep in a daze.
Song Yunchu walked to his side and said, "Your recovery ability is quite good. You recovered so quickly from twenty strokes of the cane."
Chu Yuni was pulled back to her senses by the voice above her head and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Master Song."
"Get up." Song Yunchu saw the worry between his eyebrows and eyes, and was a little surprised. "How come a carefree rich young man like you also has times of worry?"
"You are joking, sir. Outside, I am a rich young man, but in this palace... there are many people who are stronger than me. How can I feel superior?"
Chu Yuni smiled helplessly, "In fact, ever since the incident at home, I have understood a truth. No matter how much wealth you have, if you don't have any power, it will only take a moment for you to become infamous. After all, the rich can never defeat the powerful."
Song Yunchu narrowed his eyes, "Why do I suddenly have this feeling? Could it be that I have suffered a loss at the hands of someone again?"
Chu Yuni said: "No."
Song Yunchu sneered, "It's useless to hide in front of the real face, just say what you have to say, don't waste time."
Seeing that her emotions could not escape Song Yunchu's insight, Chu Yuni could only tell the truth.
"I was beaten with a stick, wasn't I? I'm much better after taking Miss Jiang's medicine. It doesn't affect my walking, but it's still a bit difficult to fight. So, while other brothers are practicing martial arts, I can only practice shooting."
The Mingjing Division has strict requirements for the training of spies. In addition to conventional weapons, hidden weapons must also be used smoothly, such as darts, flying claws, and arrows in the sleeves.
"I was practicing darts well, but was mocked by a brat who was a few years younger than me. He said I got in through connections and my use of hidden weapons was ridiculous. But sir, you once said that my internal strength is not weak. I have never touched hidden weapons before, and I have just started practicing. I was naturally dissatisfied with his mockery and wanted to fight him, but a brother told me that he was General Zhao's son."
"General Zhao returned from suppressing bandits in Xiuyang County. It is said that his only son, Zhao Jingheng, pierced the leader of the pirates with a sword and performed exceptionally well. His Majesty rewarded the Zhao family father and son with gold and fertile land. Young Master Zhao was also promoted to a sixth-rank lieutenant. He has achieved such success at the age of only nineteen, so it is normal for him to look down on a subordinate like me, a newcomer to the Mingjing Division."
"I haven't recovered from the beating, and I'm not sure if I have a chance of winning against him. It would be too embarrassing if I lose. If I win, will he complain to his father and accuse me of insubordination? I don't want to cause you any more trouble, so I thought, let them laugh at me. There's no need for me to argue with them."
After listening to Chu Yuni's words, Song Yunchu chuckled, "You have learned to be calm. Indeed, you have not yet made a name for yourself. There is no need to argue with others without damaging your interests. But you are my subordinate after all. If others belittle you, it means they are not convinced and respectful to me."
Chu Yuni was stunned: "Sir, what do you mean..."
"You can ignore their ridicule, but you also said that the other party is just a young boy. If a young boy dares to defy his true identity, I'd like to see for myself."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he turned around and said, "Let's go to the martial arts training ground."
Zhao Jingheng was indeed a young military talent. It was said that he stood out in a formal martial arts competition and selection. He was also praised by the late emperor. He was awarded the title of seventh-rank deputy lieutenant at the age of seventeen, and was promoted to the sixth rank two years later. His winning rate in sparring with others was extremely high, so it was no wonder that Chu Yuni was not confident.
Nineteen years old...he is really just a young boy. He can mock the subordinates of a first-rank official in the martial arts training ground. It is obvious that he is flattered too much by the people around him and does not know the limits.
Then she had to meet him and tell him what propriety was.
…
On the training ground to the west of the palace, a young general in a white robe stood tall with a crossbow in his hand.
The target several feet away was full of arrows that had hit the bull's eye.
"Boss, you never miss a shot. I've been following you for so long, and I've never seen you miss a shot."
"That's right. If it were me, I'd be lucky if I could hit the target from such a long distance."
Hearing his subordinates' praise, the young general in white robe raised his eyebrows slightly, "This distance is not far enough, move the target back a little bit."
Under his order, the target was moved back a few feet by the soldiers.
He shouted, "Further away."
The people around were in an uproar.
"Boss, this is far enough. Even at the distance you were at just now, few people could aim accurately."
"No problem." The young general in white robe smiled, "You often say that I have a good aim, but you don't know that my eyesight is also very good."
As he spoke, he confidently raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed at the bull's eye in the distance.
"call out--"
The arrow shot out quickly and was about to hit the target, but something passed by with a strong wind and collided with the arrow in the air, causing the arrow that was supposed to hit the bull's eye to go outside the target.
The young general in white robe suddenly frowned: "Who is causing trouble?"
A leisurely voice came from the right rear, "Tsk, I thought the shooting level of General Zhao's son was so high, but it's just like this."
