The palace gate was gently closed, and the light outside the palace was withdrawn from the palace gate that was about to be covered, and finally the whole body retreated. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe lights and candles in the hall have been removed, and the light and darkness are blended and dissolved into one color of ash. All the utensils in the temple were immersed in this misty ash, and all their brilliance was lost.

The window is open, there is still a vague wind, slowly blowing the bead curtain in the hall, the paper on the bookcase, under the bead curtain, there is a young man bent down and kneeling, slowly raised a pair of long eyes like peach blossoms, but it seems to carry the cold of the wind blowing flowers and burying the flowing water, lining the face with a calm expression like a deep pool of cold water, in the eyes of people, for fear that even the hot hand will be frozen by this cold look.

Someone stood in front of the bookcase, the ink on the inkstone had not dried, and there was not a word left on the white paper, and the man standing had the pen in his hand stained with ink, but he slowly put the pen down. The man was wearing plain white homely clothes, the stubble on his chin was slightly visible, a wisp of tea smoke floated across his face without a trace, the fragrance of tea warmed his calm face, he raised his eyes and looked at the kneeling young man in the hall, opened his mouth to let the young man stand up, and let him sit down again.

"I didn't expect that what I said in the court today attracted you first. Xia Hao, who was plain and white, stretched out his hand and took a sip of the tea bowl, with a leisurely and smiling voice, "The emperor's news is so fast, it seems that he has a very close relationship with a certain courtier in the court, and his feelings are very good." ”

The meaning of my father's words is a misunderstanding of my son's ministers, and it is difficult for my sons to accept it. ”

"Since I misunderstood, what you want to say has nothing to do with the dissolved water rebellion or the demotion of the concubine?"

Xia Ziyan slowly raised his head and said in a loud voice, "The prince can't talk about state affairs before he builds a mansion, his father has a precept, and his sons dare to trespass." The matter of dissolving water is a state affair, and the ministers do not know the truth, and they have never been in contact with the government. As for Concubine De, this is a matter of the Father's Palace, and it is not something that the sons and daughters can say in vain. The father's holy heart is thoughtful, long-term vision, and must have intentions. ”

"Well, that's a good point. Xia Hao nodded and approved, "Then you asked to see you so early, but what's the matter?"

But Xia Ziyan was silent for no reason for a while, Xia Hao couldn't help but be puzzled, raised his eyes, the two looked at each other for a moment at this time, and then Xia Ziyan said, "Father, the son will be eighteen years old this year. ”

The puzzled look on Xia Hao's face instantly retreated, and he was replaced by a sigh in an instant, his eyes lingered between Xia Ziyan's eyebrows, "Yes, eighteen years old, another ten years have passed in a hurry, I have almost forgotten that I haven't seen Yunnong ......for ten years."

Xia Hao didn't finish his words, but the person had already turned to face the window, and there was a beaded curtain hanging faintly and silently by the window, blocking people's gaze from looking far away. The sky was white, and Xia Hao's silent frowning eyebrows were silently smoothed. Xia Ziyan heard Xia Hao mention the name "Yunnong", but it was not his mother's name, his face was puzzled, and he had not yet spoken, but Xia Hao slowly turned his head and looked at Xia Ziyan, the corners of his lips were obviously wrinkled with laugh lines, but his eyes were ethereal and distant, and he didn't know where to go, "They all say that old people and old things can't be remembered, but they don't realize it, they are old, they are old, they are old, and they are so forgetful." ”

It seemed that seeing the puzzlement on Xia Ziyan's face, Xia Hao opened his mouth to explain, "When your mother went to Xiyue, she didn't change her name yet, she was called Yunnong, so I got used to shouting." After ascending the throne, she wants to give your mother's name, and the queen is worried that your mother's status is humble and she is the person who has been in Xiyue, so she changed her name and called her Huayi. You're young, and these things are too old for you to remember. ”

Xia Ziyan nodded suddenly, but after seeing Xia Hao glance at him, he suddenly shook his head and smiled, but he didn't know what he thought of in his memories, so happy, he quickly took this opportunity to speak, "The children in Beijing make a wish every birthday, and the sons and daughters are brave, and they also want to ask their father for a wish like these children." ”

"How many eighteen years old can there be in a lifetime, I think back then, I was eighteen years old when I met your mother. Well, you didn't ask me for anything, since it's my birthday's wish, I approved it first, but don't go too far. ”

"Erchen wants to build a mansion in advance and move out of the palace before going to Tianshan. ”

When Xia Hao heard this, he thought about it and replied, "You are eighteen years old, which is the age when you have reached the age of building a mansion and leaving the palace, and you mentioned this matter to me when the province was in the spring, but the establishment of the prince's mansion is a major event, and it is related to the title and title, so you can't be too hasty." Things are already being done slowly, but it's still too urgent to do it before going to Tianshan......"

He suddenly stopped talking, raised his eyes and looked at Xia Ziyan's eyes with a slight light, as if he wanted to see Xia Ziyan thoroughly, "The prince can't discuss state affairs before he builds a mansion, you tell me that you want to build a mansion in advance, do you have other intentions?" ”

"Erchen ......"

"Well, just a few words, they don't make any sense, and you don't have to explain anything. You are my beloved son, if you have a point or two of thoughts about this country, it is also common sense, I am not surprised. ”

Xia Ziyan knelt and kowtowed, and said sincerely, "This world is the world of my father and eldest brother, and my sons and daughters are shallow, so they can only do their best to assist in this life." ”

"In that case, then what are you for?" Xia Hao walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you came for the traitor who dissolved the water, please kill the bandits?"

Xia Ziyan lowered his body on the ground again, and answered the word "yes" in a low but firm voice, he thought that there would be a sound of anger in the hall, on the contrary, the man in white in the hall just walked towards him with his hands behind his back, his face was calm, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

"But it's just a very easy thing to suppress bandits", Xia Hao walked to Xia Ziyan's side, sat down on the chair, and his voice drifted above Xia Ziyan's head, "Just send someone to lead the army and arrest it, why do you need a prince to go out." ”

"My father is willing to listen to his son's opinion. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"The dissolved water has been affected by disasters for two consecutive years, and the people are worried about food and clothing, and their bodies are weak, so they can only wait for the help of the imperial court. Mei Shilang was ordered to go to the dissolved water for disaster relief, and the disaster relief money and food were allocated by the household department, and there were officers and soldiers escorting him along the way. Since the thieves can silently rob the disaster relief money and food, if it is not well planned, there must be an internal response. The money and food were lost, and the guilt was on his body, presumably Mei Shilang was unwilling to report the matter even if he was guilty of bullying the king. Since he had reported the matter to the imperial court, he must have had to do so because he was unable to arrest the thief and make an account to the imperial court. ”

Xia Ziyan was halfway through his words, and seeing that Xia Hao had not made any movements, he thought that Xia Hao had not heard anything when he was distracted, so he stopped talking and did not continue. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words stopped, Xia Hao's face showed a slight smile, and he actually praised it rarely, "It's rare that you have the heart to think of this, I understand, it's simple, and I will pass on the decree immediately, and the emperor will tell him, if anyone has a clue about the bandits, he will be rewarded immediately." ”
