But soon, the forbidden army in front of the palace gate withdrew the halberd in his hand and let Xie Yao pass. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this road is unimpeded, Xie Yao walked to the Moyu Palace, it happened that Ge Yun came out of the hall, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Yao from a distance, greeted him in person, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Xie Shilang here?"

"The minister has something to ask to see the saint, I don't know if it's convenient?"

Ge Yun hesitated slightly, but he didn't pause for too long, and immediately led Xie Yao to the Douzhu Pavilion on the side of the Moyu Palace, asked Xie Yao to wait a little, closed the door and went out. Xie Yao stood in the pavilion, facing the enchanting flickering candlelight, he was slightly confused for a while, and just thought about putting down the scroll in his arms, he heard the door behind him being pushed open and closed, Xia Hao walked towards the enchanting flickering candlelight with a smile, with a gentle smile and a warm voice, and asked casually as he walked, "The military department has nothing to do all day, but when it is your turn to be on duty at night, you have something to do urgently?" If nothing happens, it is your excuse, I can punish you, and I will punish you severely." ”

Xie Yao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he didn't get up, and when he saw Xia Hao's puzzled face, he said, "The minister is bold, I want to know what kind of punishment the saint wants to punish the minister." ”

"Well, it's an excuse again. Xia Hao laughed out loud, "You deceived me, it is a crime of deceiving the king, the law has already written clearly how to punish it, do you still need to ask me?"

Xie Yao was not in a hurry, he took out a book from his sleeve, the scroll was broken, it seemed to be the book he got from Xia Ziyan, he handed the book to Xia Hao, and then said, "I don't know if such a thing can make the merits of the ministers offset it?"

Xia Hao immediately took it in his hand, looked through it, and said in his mouth, "It seems that your position as a soldier is very stable, I just heard about your wish, and in a blink of an eye, someone has made your wish for you, very good, very good." ”

The emperor who was sitting in the hall seemed to be in a good mood, put the book aside, and said, "Aiqing, do you remember the last time we met, what we talked about?"

"Back to the saint, the saint asked the minister to answer a question last time, saying that if the minister can guess correctly, he will reward the minister as a waiter. In the end, the saint made a bet with the minister, saying that the minister would not be able to find this book by his own ability alone, but it seems that this time the minister won again. ”

"But how do I think Aiqing is cheating, borrowing someone else's ability, and attributing it to myself. ”

"Returning to the saint, the minister uses a stratagem, and when he releases his words, the one who wishes to take the bait, isn't it a kind of his own ability?"

When Xia Hao heard this, he smiled again, "Okay, even if you win, then I will ask you a question." ”

Xie Yao looked up, only to see Xia Hao, who was holding the broken book, with deep eyes, a solemn expression, no smile, and suspicious words, Xie Yao lowered his head again and waited quietly. Xia Hao's voice finally sounded in the hall, "When I was young, I went out with my father, and when I was camping, I encountered a poisonous snake that sneaked into the tent and was subdued by Mu Congjun. At that time, he said a saying, which I remember very well, he said, 'Hit the snake and hit the seven inches,' which is the fatal wound of the snake. It's the same with people, to subdue a person, attack his weaknesses first. I named you a squire in the military department, and you must know the purpose of my letting you go to the military department. ”

"The minister knows it, so he will live up to the expectations of the saints. ”

"So, in the future, act as you think, with you in the military department, I will be half relieved. If there is something important, you don't have to go to the palace to see me, just let Ge Yun tell me, what you need, tell Ge Yun, and he will arrange it for you. If I need you, I will summon you to the palace. ”

This has been made clear, it is to ask Xie Yao not to enter the palace alone and privately. The implication is to blame himself for being reckless in entering the palace tonight. Xie Yao didn't refute his trip, and hurriedly responded.

Xia Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "According to your talent, the position I gave you seems to be a bit condescending, but you are still young, in the future, after a hundred years, you will be the one who assists the new emperor, and how far you can go depends on your own performance."

However, my four sons, now the eldest son has a volatile temperament, the second son is too gentle, the third son is sharp, and the younger son is mellow and weak, if you stand in my position, which prince do you like?"

Xie Yao hesitated and groaned, but did not answer, Xia Hao showed a smile on his face, "Aiqing does not have to be restrained, although you can speak freely, I will exonerate you." ”

"The four princes are still very young, and it is inevitable that they will make some mistakes, and it is harmless. As a prince, he is arrogant, which shows that the mother and son have a deep relationship. The temperament has not been sharpened, and when he is older, he should be stable and able to take on great responsibilities. ”

Xia Hao was naturally dissatisfied with such an ambiguous answer, and asked, "Then if the four sons are all kings, who do you go to?"

"If all four sons are kings, they will go to the rightful one. ”

As soon as the words fell, I unsurprisingly heard the emperor in the palace snort coldly. Xie Yao raised his eyes and glanced at it, and then retracted his gaze, he hesitated before because he was worried that an honest answer would definitely displease the saint, and since he had already provoked the saint at this time, he had nothing to fear, "The minister guesses, the saint must be the second prince." The root rot of the Dayong clan is bad, which is the cancer of Dayong, and it should have been removed long ago to prevent future troubles. Empress Mei and Concubine Jiang De are both daughters of the clan, and there must be something taboo in the saint, Concubine Qin Shu is the princess of Southern Qin, with the royal blood of Southern Qin, and her identity is special. Only the simple second prince remains, which is exactly what the saint thinks. But ......"

"Hmph, you said it right, and I knew you were going to say but. Xia Hao was a little uncomfortable.

Xie Yao opened his mouth to explain, "He has always been a long and virtuous person, and the eldest prince deserves it, and the saint is prejudiced against him, so it is naturally unfair to his talents. The eldest prince is more calm and decisive than the second prince......"

But Xia Hao didn't wait for Xie Yao to finish describing, and immediately interrupted Xie Yao's words, "I have never led the army, I have never been on the battlefield, I have not participated in national politics, my talents are all on paper, what is the justice or injustice?"

"The subordinate refers to his conduct. The three princes are sharp, proud, and ungentle. The second prince has a gentle personality as the saint said, but he is afraid of being too gentle, and when it comes to major events, he doesn't know if he can make a decision. The fourth prince is naïve and childish, and it is better to be happy under his knees, once the matter of imperial power is touched, it is not a good thing for him, and it is not a good thing for the country. In the opinion of the ministers, only the eldest prince is the most suitable. ”

When Xia Hao heard this, he rarely didn't immediately refute it, or showed a disapproving laugh. His gaze fell on a certain place in the hall, and he suddenly spoke, but said another topic, "Aiqing knows that I have demoted Concubine Jiang De to a lady today." ”

When Xie Yao suddenly heard this, he was unexpected, he was taken aback, his face was full of disbelief, knowing that it was not a joke, his eyes still roamed around Xia Hao's face, and only then did he confirm this matter in his heart.

"When the witch entered the palace that day, she offered an elixir to treat the prince's foot injury. At that time, I wondered if this was a hint from the Tianshan Mountains, otherwise why didn't I send someone directly to the Hunting Garden and send it to the eldest prince in time, but first served it to me and I handed it over. ”
