Women dressed as men: powerful officials

When Wei Chen entered the yard, the servants also consciously stood on both sides and did not follow him in.

After Xu Yuan took a look, he turned around silently and led Wei Chen into the house.

Just as she thought, Wei Chen had just stepped into the yard when he saw the book she had placed on the table.

Wei Chenyi said: "Xu Xiaoyou, do you also like to watch these things?"

Xu Yuan looked in the direction Wei Chen pointed, and shyly used the book to cover the top, his tone even more humble.

"In front of the censor, I dare not show off my skills."

"how come?"

Wei Chen picked up the book that Xu Yuan had deliberately covered with a smile and began to read it.

In the capital, there are people who specialize in writing storybooks.

The one that Wei Chenyi saw was a storybook with a Dali Temple official who was a genius at solving cases as the protagonist.

In the storybook, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple can be described as a god.

The murderer can be spotted at a glance.

Whether it is investigating a murder case or investigating a corruption and fraud case, it only takes three days to solve the case.

Wei Chenyi was certainly not interested in the storybook; he was interested in making a wish.

So, holding the book in his hand, he flipped through a page or two and saw the dense comments on it, and his smile deepened.

"This is just a storybook, and you're reading it so seriously?"

Xu Yuan said, "I came from Hanzhou and have never read this kind of book. When I saw it that day, I was naturally very happy. I felt that the Dali Temple Minister described in it was really a famous official of his generation. Not only did he solve cases like a god, but he was also a righteous person. So I made more comments."

Wei Chenyi laughed loudly, "You are the only one who saw me today. If you saw anyone else, you will be imprisoned because of this book."

Wei Chenyi put down the book and explained, "Do you know that when I read or write at home, I never leave any traces?"

Xuyuan cooperated and asked, "Why?"

"Seeing that you like this kind of books, I would like to give you a few pointers. Throughout history, there have been many cases of literary inquisition, and it was even more prevalent during the previous emperor's reign. One or two sentences in your book contain information about the previous dynasty. If I intend to embarrass you..."

Wei Chenyi didn’t say anything else.

Xu Yuan immediately said in panic: "Thank you, Doctor Yushi, for your advice."

"Young man, it's inevitable to make mistakes. I'm not the only one who does this. Prime Minister Qi Chengen also has this habit. If you search his house, you won't find a single piece of paper with his handwriting. You don't know how many unjust cases like this I've seen since I took office as the Imperial Censor..."

Wei Chenyi sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, you met me early. I guess the Prime Minister never mentioned these things to you. That old man is so glorious as to be the Prime Minister. He never mentions anything to the young people and only thinks about his son."

Hearing Wei Chen's cursing, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and did not respond.

This is Wei Chen's usual style.

No matter who makes the first move to win you over, Wei Chenyi can use this method to pull you into his camp.

First find out what you are interested in.

I'm pointing out some of the great things about it.

Finally, he implied that others were not like him. He would point out your mistakes and prevent you from making mistakes and falling into trouble in the court.

Then, people followed him wholeheartedly.

Wei Chen still uses the same tactics today.

After discovering that she liked this kind of storybook, he found her mistakes, then gave her some advice, and finally hinted to her that if Qi Chengen was here, he would never give her these advice.

The tactic of suppressing first and then promoting is very clear.

Seeing that Xu Yuan did not respond, Wei Chenyi said: "Look at me, I got excited and talked about something else..."

Xu Yuan said: "The younger generation has benefited a lot."

"No, it's just some commonplace talk."

Wei Chenyi put down the book and said with his hands behind his back, "I heard that the Prime Minister recommended you to enter Wenhua Palace?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

Not sure, will you come here to see me?

Xu Yuan curled his lips and sneered, but his words were still humble.

She said, "Ninety percent."

"Yes, if you enter Wenhua Palace, it means you have one foot in the officialdom. Although I am old, I still have some dignity. If you encounter any problems, just come to me. Seeing a young man like you, I am very happy."

Wei Chenyi patted Xuyuan on the shoulder.

Xu Yuan took the opportunity to say, "If I want to enter the Dali Temple, can the censor help me?"

"Into the Dali Temple?"

Wei Chenyi smiled even more and said, "You asked me the right person for this matter. As long as you rank among the top three in the national examination, I will definitely guarantee you the lowest position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple."

As Wei Chenyi spoke, his eyes changed when he looked at Xu Yuan. "However, in the officialdom, you still need to be careful and cautious, and not let others hold you hostage. I wonder if you have thought about this in your heart?"

"That's natural."

"That's good." Wei Chen had achieved his goal and didn't want to stay any longer, so he said directly: "Tomorrow is the examination to enter Wenhua Palace. The chief examiner is Grand Tutor Shen. He is always strict. You have to prepare well. I won't bother you anymore. I look forward to hearing the news of your admission to Wenhua Palace tomorrow."

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "I will see the censor off."

Watching Wei Chenyi leave, Xu Yuan's face suddenly changed.

She took a look at the place where Wei Chenyi had hit her before, and couldn't help but hold on to the wall and retched.

Only when the discomfort in her heart eased did she look up at the carriage going farther and farther away, and said slowly: "Wei Chenyi, this time, you brought yourself to my door."

The goal was achieved faster than expected.

Wei Chen was in an extremely good mood.

Seeing this, the person beside him asked, "Master, is your trip going smoothly?"

"Oh, he is just a poor student. I really thought he was the same as the rumors said, very noble. After seeing him today, I can see that he is just like that. I just hope that he, the champion of the poetry pavilion, is really talented and can get the top three in the national examination, so that my visit will not be in vain."

"But her last name is Xu, isn't the master worried?"

The surname Xu is destined to attract attention.

Wei Chenyi said: "From the moment she entered the capital, someone went to investigate her. The person who went to Hanzhou has already returned. She is not the descendant of that family, so there is no need to worry. If it is true, do you think I need to take action? I am not the only one who can't sleep these nights..."

Wei Chenyi gently closed his eyes, his eyes were even colder: "I heard that the Shen family is also contacting Xuyuan, you go check and see who else is planning to make a wish."

"Yes."

I hadn't thought about it for long when there was another knock on the door.

She was silent for a moment and went to open the door.

This time, it was Shen Yichuan.

After Shen Yichuan entered the room, he immediately said, "I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a letter to Wenhua Palace today. Is the name on that letter yours?"

Shen Yichuan had wanted to come and ask for a wish for a long time.

If no one recommended him for a vow, he would ask his father.

But these two days, the courtyard outside Xuyuan was crowded with people and he couldn't even squeeze in. Today he planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect that there were no people in the alley and Xuyuan was also at home.

"it's me."

Make a wish and nod.

"That's good." Shen Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew how important Wenhua Palace was to Xu Yuan, so he asked again, "Will someone send you off tomorrow?"

"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded. After that, she seemed like another person and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Shen, I don't know when it will be convenient for me. I want to meet Master Shen."

"To see my father?" Shen Yichuan was stunned. "Why?"
