Quick Wear: The host is both a dog and ruthless

Chapter 317 A powerful official dressed as a man 1

A few days later, Yuyan was once again bullied by Zhao Shidu, who even scolded her harshly in public, not giving her any face at all.

Faced with all this, Yu Yan just lowered her head and remained silent.

But I was gnashing my teeth in my heart, thinking, you mad dog, you pervert, don't let me get the chance, or I will kill you.

Just then, the Minister of Revenue, Mr. Zhang, and Gu Heng happened to pass by.

Seeing this, Lord Zhang spoke a few words for Yuyan, and easily helped her resolve the embarrassment at the time. Therefore, Lord Zhang was very grateful to Yuyan at that time.

The next day, when Yuyan went to the Hanlin Academy to report for duty, she heard that Zhao Shidu was appreciated by Prime Minister Gu and was transferred to Xuzhou to serve as the prefect.

The top scholar, who was a contemporary of Yuyan and also stayed in the Hanlin Academy, was a sixth-rank editor and one of the people who had been bullied by Zhao Shidu for a long time.

At this moment, he had a look of gloating on his face and complained to Yuyan.

"This is obviously a promotion in name only, but a demotion in reality. Is Xuzhou a good place to stay? It is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is a wild place. How can it compare to the noble Hanlin Academy? Looking at his usual arrogant attitude, I don't know how he offended Prime Minister Gu this time."

Yes, although he is just a small editor in Wenyuan Pavilion, he not only has a leisurely life, but also has a certain chance of becoming an important official in the court.

If you are sent to a remote and poor area, not only will your life be hard, but it will be impossible for you to return to the capital unless you make great achievements.

As for Zhao Shidu, he can only be considered a mediocre person at best, with no talent at all. He will probably die there in this life.

Ever since Minister Zhang helped Yuyan out of trouble that day, Yuyan has been very grateful to him. Afterwards, the two met several times and gradually became familiar with each other.

After a period of time, Minister Zhang said that Yuyan was a promising talent and used his connections to help her become a sixth-rank lecturer.

Although the official position was only promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, if there was no merit, it would take two or three years of hard work to get this opportunity.

After Yuyan was promoted to the position of Imperial Lecturer, her job became to explain scriptures to a group of second-generation rich students in the Imperial College, which was not an easy job!

Although Yuyan has no achievements now, she is still very happy to be appreciated.

She felt that she, this pearl, was finally being discovered and would begin to shine in this dynasty, bringing honor to the Yu family.

Unexpectedly, reality gave her a severe blow.

That day, Yuyan was invited to have dinner with Minister Zhang, and that old fox, Minister Zhang, began to show his true colors.

He openly and secretly encouraged Yuyan to join him and use her to help him frame the seventh prince. After the success, he could not only guarantee Yuyan's future wealth and glory, but also promised to give her a position as a minister.

"I am just a small lecturer. I am really unable to help the Minister with such a big favor." After hearing what he said, Yuyan immediately showed an expression of fear and trepidation on her face.

"Lord Yu and the Seventh Prince have similar personalities and often travel together. This cannot be hidden from me."

Faced with Yuyan's slightly tactful refusal, Minister Zhang remained silent.

He patted Yuyan's shoulder, appearing very amiable, but his eyes were full of calculation, and he continued speaking while looking at Yuyan.

"Master Yu, you and I have been together here quite frequently recently, and everyone knows that I was the one who helped you get promoted. Even if you don't stand on my side now, in the eyes of those who are interested, you and I are already in the same boat. And I can find someone else to do that, but after the incident, Master Yu will still be the one to bear the blame. Master Yu, do you want to choose to be innocent and take the blame, or do you want to work with me to win a good future for yourself? Master Yu is a smart man, and he should know what is best for you!"

Damn, am I being threatened?

Yuyan pursed her lips tightly, looking at the smug look on the old man in front of her, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

You old man, look how capable you are, thinking you can control me like this.

You are wrong. I am the one you can't outwit.

Besides, the Seventh Prince is such a fool. You really think highly of him by going to such great lengths to help him.

Since the old man was using threats and inducements like this, Yuyan pretended to go through a psychological battle and then joined the gang very wisely, saying that she would obey all their arrangements.

After Yuyan left, the eldest prince Nangong Lu walked out from the secret door, looked at Yuyan's back, and smiled at Zhang Shangshu.

As everyone knows, the Minister of Revenue is the eldest prince's uncle.

The eldest prince was born to Concubine Xian, the first of the four concubines, and is also the emperor's eldest son. He has been involved in politics for many years, and the emperor is quite fond of him.

The eldest prince has always believed that he is his father's candidate for crown prince, and other court officials also think so.

However, unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly appointed him as King of Lu a few days ago.

Although he was the first prince to be crowned king, which should have been a supreme honor, the eldest prince's face was gloomy.

He felt that he had perhaps always taken things for granted, thinking that since he was favored by the emperor and was the eldest son, he would become the next crown prince.

In fact, this is not the case, because he keenly realized from this event of conferring the title of king that the emperor might have someone else in mind as the crown prince.

Later, he began to observe his father's attitude towards each prince. At first, he thought that the emperor was interested in the third prince Nangong Ze, and he did many things against Nangong Ze during that period.

If Nangong Ze hadn't been a non-confrontational person, the two would have fought to the death.

Moreover, although Nangong Ze was the third prince, he had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and had never engaged in any clique-building behavior. Although his father also doted on his mother, Concubine De, he rarely paid attention to him, so he was excluded.

Later, after observing for a few days, he realized that the candidate for crown prince in his father's mind was actually his timid and foolish seventh brother.

This conclusion was difficult for him to accept for a while.

Why did that loser have the right? He was the eldest son, and had assisted the emperor in handling government affairs for many years. He thought the position of crown prince was in his pocket, but he didn't expect that he was just making wedding clothes for others. In the end, he only ended up with a title of King of Law with no real power.

How could he accept this? He had outstanding abilities and talents, but was he going to miss out on the throne of crown prince just because he was not the legitimate son of the Empress?

He was unwilling to accept this. Since his father was not clear, he would let him see clearly what kind of person his father's candidate for the crown prince was. He wanted to take back the crown prince position that belonged to him in a fair and honest manner.

When Yuyan came out of the private room, she was still muttering to herself.

You old man, every evil thing brings out evil things, your whole family is full of evil people.

I came here happily to have dinner, but you used threats and bribes to deceive me. You want to drag me into this battle for the throne for no reason. You are so heartless!

However, since you ask me to help you so sincerely, I will reluctantly satisfy you.

But I can’t guarantee whether the result is what you want.
