Chapter 225 224 Hope is shattered again, old emperor, you are such a dog

Feng Yuxiu felt very miserable as he watched others happily leave get out of class and make plans to go out for food, drinks and fun.

Just as he was about to stand up and go out with his group of friends, he was blocked by An Rui who came in into the school building.

When An Rui met Feng Yuxiu's pitiful eyes begging for mercy, he thought of that similar pair of eyes in his mind, and his heart immediately hardened.

He couldn't let his savior down, so he had to help her brother win the quarterly exam to express his gratitude to her.

Pick up the homework that Feng Yuxiu had placed on the table but had not put away yet.

When An Rui saw the touching black handwriting on the white paper, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he could completely feel what his cousin had felt back then.

Why did they look so sad and annoyed when I saw the calligraphy they wrote?

"Practice writing 20 characters every day, and then finish these two papers." An Rui stared at Feng Yuxiu who was unwilling to do it, and gritted his teeth: "If you dare not do it, you will die."

Feng Yuxiu looked at An Jiancheng's ferocious expression, silently swallowed the words of resistance in his mouth, nodded, and said weakly: "I will finish it."

Feng Yuxiu, who came home with extra homework, complained to his sister Feng Lingyun who came to care about him.

Feng Lingyun just listened quietly, and when she thought of the person who was looking at her tenderly, she lowered her head slightly and blushed.

When An Xin learned what his little cousin An Rui had done, he smiled, knowing that the brat was infatuated with a girl, so he let him go without asking any more questions.

Moreover, during this period, she was frequently targeted by Prime Minister Xiao's faction in the court.

An Xin suppressed several of his students and persuaded several families with whom he had a good relationship, so that they would not have to confront Prime Minister Xiao's men in the court.

General Yuchi and his entourage, Marquis Xuanping, as well as the Censor Shan Jinzhe, the head of the Hanlin Academy Chi Huanong, and the Minister of Rites Gongsun Hong, with whom he had no close contact.

They didn't quite understand why An Xin always kept his head down and didn't get angry every time he was criticized and attacked by officials in the court. According to them, he was not a person who was willing to swallow his anger.

Until one day, Emperor Sheng An received An Xin's resignation letter, which contained sincere words.

What he meant was probably that he was a reckless person who had some knowledge but did not know how to be an official. He was afraid that his rash behavior in the court would offend the emperor, so he proposed to resign.

Emperor An of Anxing had been watching the excitement for a few days, but when he saw that An Xin, the female headmistress who was not enthusiastic about the official position, was about to run away, he became uneasy.

This lucky star was someone he had painstakingly promoted to assist his legitimate prince. How could he let her run away?

The next day, those officials who had impeached An Xin at the morning court were either reprimanded or demoted. For a time, the officials who had impeached An Xin were in a panic.

Moreover, Emperor Sheng An casually issued an imperial decree that as long as An Xin did not say anything outrageous in the court, she could speak freely and criticize the officials with reason and evidence without being punished.

Now those officials finally understood what it meant to bark like a dog and not bite.

During this period, some people said that An Xin, a woman, was not fit to be an official, and the timid officials were already trembling in the corner.

I originally thought he was a coward, but I didn't expect him to be a ferocious beast that would quietly choose its prey.

An Xin's wish to be dismissed from office by Emperor Sheng An and live a free and leisurely life failed again.

Si Yexiao sat on the dragon throne and smiled happily when he saw An Xin's regretful expression.

He wanted to give up... Not to mention the door, he even blocked the windows.

When the prince Si Ye, whom he secretly sent to learn how to be a king, comes back, this good prince will be his obedient minister and serve as a loyal minister to the king.

In the two mansions in the imperial city.

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Xiao looked deeply at a group of subordinates who came to him for advice. Only his slightly trembling and contracted pupils revealed the anger and uneasiness in his heart.

And closer to the palace is where the prince lives.

In a not-so-impressive royal palace, Si Han, who was named the eldest prince, sat at the first seat in the hall, listening to the reports from the people below with a cold look in his eyes.

Si Han was not at all surprised that the woman who had ruined his plan on New Year's Eve could easily break through the secret exclusion and suppression of her by him and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

One who can not only train civil officials like Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, but also turn around the generals like Yuchi, who used to be idle, causing trouble everywhere and playing tricks on others.

I heard that after a few years of experience, he has changed a lot. How could such a person be defeated easily by them?

With a wave of his hand, the people who were kneeling and reporting below retreated.

A solemn, thin-faced old man walked out from the inner room and looked at the stern-faced man sitting on the seat with loving eyes.

When she saw the jade pendant carved with orchid in his hand, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.

"Han'er, I'm sorry, grandpa shouldn't have taken the whole family of Taifu's house into consideration and didn't help you get rid of Kong Xun earlier.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Now that he is out of our control, he has become the biggest obstacle for you to ascend to the throne."

The eldest prince Si Han glanced at him indifferently. When he was young, he was bullied by the eunuchs in the palace. He originally avoided it and took another road, preparing to leave indifferently.

But when she saw him tightly holding the only jade pendant left to him by his mother, which was about to be snatched away by the eunuchs, she suddenly stopped and rescued him.

After questioning, he learned that the owner of the jade pendant was a woman who came to Beijing to look for her relatives, his mother, and then the man who held the position of Taifu claimed to be his grandfather.

However, Si Han did not feel the slightest bit of affection for Master Kong in his heart, even though he had been very good to him over the years.

It can even be said that as long as he can do it, as long as he asks for it, he will respond to any request. However, Si Han still does not feel the kind of blood relationship from him.

Master Kong still looked indifferent at the look that Shang Sihan gave him, thinking that he was still blaming him for not showing up in time when his mother was in trouble, and he felt even more guilty.

Si Han said in a light tone: "You said you would help me recruit some ministers, how is it going now?"

Master Kong's face tensed, he opened his mouth and replied reluctantly, "We are...in contact with them, I'm afraid it will take some time."

Since childhood, Si Han has been disliked by Emperor Sheng An because of his mother. How could the sensitive Si Han not see the embarrassment in Master Kong's eyes?

Si Han smiled sarcastically, yes!

For a prince who doesn't even have a title, who would be so desperate as to choose to secretly help and follow him based on a few words from this man?

"Taifu is also tired, so go back and rest early today. I'll need you to take care of winning over the court officials."

When Master Kong heard Si Han's words that seemed to show concern, he still smiled happily, feeling that his care for him over the years was not in vain.

Baozi, "jie shou" in ancient times also meant resigning from official position and returning home.
