If Li Jie knew the reason why Li and Yan Shu got married, he would probably laugh out loud.
His kindness to Yan Shu was certainly rooted in the teacher-student friendship, but it also had other purposes. To be precise, it was to pave the way for his future success.
The imperial examination style that emphasizes Ci Fu and neglects practical work should be changed long ago.
Li Jie's current reward to Yan Shu is somewhat compensatory.
The reform of the imperial examination system is such a big pot. Even if Li Jie is behind Yan Shu's support, he may not be able to take it.
It would be best to find a few more people to pick you up.

Xijing.
The Kou Mansion welcomed a group of special visitors today. Ren Shouzhong came to the manor with the official's decree and a reward.
Central hall.
"I've seen Kou Xiang!"
Even if Ren Shouzhong was an angel, he would not dare to show off when he saw the old man in front of him.
Kou Xiang was a figure that even Taizong and the late Emperor were not embarrassed by.
He is a small minister, but in the eyes of the old man, is he nothing?
"Um."
Kou Zhun nodded coldly. After being stabbed in the back by the eunuch, he now particularly hates eunuchs.
If Ren Shouzhong hadn't come to the door with an edict, he probably wouldn't have even been able to get through the threshold of the Kou Mansion.
Soon, the edict was read out. Seeing Kou Zhun taking the edict very casually, Ren Shouzhongquan pretended not to see it.
Before leaving, the officials specifically told him that if the Kou Prime Minister did anything that violated the rules, as long as it was not too excessive, he would turn a blind eye.
Li Jie knew that Kou Zhun had resentment in his heart.
Originally, Kou Zhun was already prepared to die in Leizhou, but as a result, an edict from the capital gave him some hope.
Although the book was only given to an idle official who stayed behind in Xijing, it was at least a good change.
However, reality is often far from what was expected.
As soon as he sat on the cold bench, he seemed to have no intention of getting up again.
If he hadn't received rewards from the palace during the holidays, Kou Zhun would have probably thought that the court had forgotten about him.
Afterwards, Ren Shouzhong first waved to his entourage, signaling them to carry the gifts and leave, then took a slight step forward and whispered.
"Prime Minister Kou, can you step aside?"
"What?"
Kou Zhun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ren Shouzhong with an unkind expression.
"The officials have oral instructions."
Ren Shouzhong took a few more steps towards Kou Zhun, and his voice became even lower.
Oral instruction?
Hearing this, Kou Zhun suddenly felt interesting.
Although he is not in the court, his disciples and old officials are all over the court, and he often receives letters from the capital.
Therefore, even if others are not in court, the news is still very well-informed.
He was somewhat aware of the changes in the palace.
The powerful Queen Mother actually wants to retire?
When he learned about this, Kou Zhun was shocked.
The person who knows you best is often your enemy. Kou Zhun, who is a political enemy, knows very well what a queen mother is.
His desire for power is extremely strong, and his scheming skills are second to none.
The Queen Mother should be as talented as Lu Wu!
It is precisely because of this that Kou Zhun wanted to take risks, establish a prince, and depose the queen mother.
At that time, the late emperor's physical condition was almost exhausted. Kou Zhun was worried about what the Song Dynasty would do if the late emperor left.
In the eyes of traditional scholars, it is not a good sign for a female protagonist to come to court.
Let’s not talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties, let’s look at the later Zhou Dynasty.
After Zhou Shizong passed away, he left orphans and widows. What was the final result?
Change of dynasty!
Of course, these words, as crazy as Kou Zhun, can only be thought in his heart.
In addition, time has changed and the Song Dynasty today is far inferior to the Zhou Dynasty in the past. Even if the military officials wanted to rebel, they had no chance to take charge of the army.
The Forbidden Army is the emperor's personal army, not the soldiers of one family and one surname.
The dynasty has gone through three generations, and the situation of strong branches and weak branches is a foregone conclusion, and the dynasty has no worries from foreign relatives.
Generally speaking, the possibility of changing dynasties is not impossible, but the probability is pitifully low, about the same as a meteorite falling from the sky?
After a moment, Kou Zhun recovered his thoughts, and then waved to the servant on the side.
"Back off."
The heaven of the Song Dynasty belongs to the official family, but in the Kou Mansion, Kou Zhun is the heaven of everyone.
As soon as these words came out, the servants in the hall left one after another.
"yes."
After everyone retreated, Kou Zhun raised his eyelids and said with half-open eyes.
"Tell me what the officials asked you to say."
"The officials asked me to bring a message to the prime minister."
As he spoke, Ren Shouzhong coughed twice, pinched his throat, and tried his best to imitate the tone of the official's instructions.
"Kou Qing, when selecting scholars today, we should advance and retreat based on poems and poems, without examining literary theory."
"Blessed?"
"Woe to you?"
"I will prepare a few glasses of wine in the palace and wait for Kou Qing to clear up my confusion."
After saying this, Ren Shouzhong quickly put on a fearful posture.
"It's a small trespass."
Kou Zhun waved his hand without even saying a word, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to Ren Shouzhong.
However, what the official said was extremely interesting.
It is said that one gains wisdom after suffering many hardships. Kou Zhun, who has suffered many ups and downs, has suffered enough losses. No matter how upright his character is, he still hears the implication of the official's words.
At first glance, these words sounded like a request to myself.
In reality?
The officials probably wanted him to use his spare energy, move around more, and give Shilin some fresh air first.
Of course, it is best to go straight to the point and present it into the ban in the form of a memorial.
'This boy is wilted, wilted and bad. '
Thinking of this, Kou Zhun couldn't help but comment secretly.
This time, the officials used him as a gunman.
It would be a waste to let a veteran like him charge into battle.
'I don't know who Guan Jia learned it from. '
Although he was treated as a gun, Kou Zhun was not very angry.
In the past, the situation he was most worried about was Lu Wu's disaster.
Now it seems that the Queen Mother may not have a chance.
The official's mind, skills, and power make him a qualified emperor.
No.
It should be 'excellent'.
If the official's age was taken into account, Kou Zhun no longer dared to think about it.
Even after three dynasties, he could not tell how far the official family would grow in the future.
Becoming a god or a demon is all within the official's mind.
That’s all.
forget about it.
After a while, Kou Zhun came to his senses and realized that his descendants would be blessed. He was already half buried in the earth, so why did he worry so much?
"Is the frame ready?"
Kou Zhun glanced sideways at Ren Shouzhong and asked directly.
"Ready, ready."
Ren Shouzhong immediately put on a smile and said flatteringly.
"We are waiting outside the mansion. The prime minister can set off whenever he wants. The official posts along the way have been arranged."
"What are you waiting for?"
Kou Zhun stood up slowly and dusted off the hem of his clothes. In the blink of an eye, the power of ruling the world in the past seemed to have returned to Kou Zhun.
"Why are you still standing there?"
After taking a few steps forward, Kou Zhun turned around and scolded when he heard no footsteps behind him.
"Master Prime Minister, I've lost my temper."
Ren Shouzhong suddenly woke up when he heard this. He quickly stepped in front of Kou Zhun and led Kou Xiang out of the mansion with his shoulders hunched and his back hunched.
As soon as Kou Zhun left, Xijing exploded.
Could it be that Kou Xiang is coming back again?
