Chapter 46: The Garden of Rest, II

Xia Hao is middle-aged, his voice is even deeper and deeper, and his voice is not loud, but because of the too quiet environment, his voice is particularly loud. www.biquge.info When Xia Ziyan heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair, knelt on the ground with a "bang", kowtowed and pleaded guilty, but still didn't mention anything else.

Xia Hao closed the fold in his hand, and moved his eyes to the cover of the fold, with a small line on it, writing clearly the date of submission of the fold and the official position of the submitter, Xia Hao said, "The day of leaving for Tianshan has been set a long time ago, it is the fifteenth." But that night, you were still stranded in the city on the way to the Tianshan Mountains, why did you trespass on the royal road privately? Who was the commander of the forbidden army who patrolled the city that day, and why did you report it in time when you found out? Fortunately, he was not stupid, and he made a record in the handover book afterwards. Fortunately, Xie Yao just went to the Ministry of War, and the new officer took office three times, and wrote this matter into the work report, so the Ministry of War Shangshu wrote this letter and participated in one of you. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I will not only be deceived for these ten days, but I will probably be deceived by you until the Year of the Monkey. ”

Xia Hao paused and asked, "What do you have to say about this?" ”

The son pleaded guilty and had nothing to say. ”

"There is nothing to say, the Ministry of War blames you for your crimes, as a prince, the son does not teach the fault of the father, isn't it equivalent to giving the Ministry of War a chance to hold me accountable?"

Xia Ziyan glanced up at his father, only to see Xia Hao stand up, throw his hand on the table, put his hands behind his back, and muttered in his mouth, but he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or counting himself, the jujube red Tianzi casual clothes, the dark clothes made the expression between his eyebrows more solemn. Xia Ziyan only knew what he said, what he said was "double trees do not become forests", so he knew what he was talking about next, "double wood" does not mean trees, in fact, it refers to the two Mu families in Jiankang City, in the past, the Mu family and the Mu family were both martial arts and one was Wen, although they were both clans with the same dynasty as officials, but they were just ordinary people, and they did not intersect with each other. And at this moment, the two families of Mu Mu, one is already the secretary of the military department, the other is the secretary of the ministry, and they have formed a family of children and daughters, even if they talk nonsense in the court, there are songs and rumors in the city, one of which is "two trees into a forest, the crown covers Jinghua", and "two trees do not become a forest" is a comparison of the past.

It's just that there is one thing that people don't understand, Xia Ziyan lowered his head and thought, the military department Shangshu Mu was forty-two years old, and he had heard that Mu Congjun had fought against his father in court, but at that time, Mu Congjun was just a martial artist, and he was extremely young, and he defeated the northern nomads who invaded the south several times. Xihu people, from a humble soldier step by step to the position of the general, but also from the prison of Xiyue to the time of the exiled Dayong Emperor Xia Qi escorted back to Beijing, this is the most important achievement in his life, proud and complacent is also deserved, but he came back from his past, saw this important minister, but found that he had long since restrained the pride and complacency of the past, the wild and unruly in the past has long been in the official years of training can not find the slightest trace, why at this moment, but he participated in his own book。

was thinking about it, but heard Xia Hao say to himself, "Fortunately, he only mentioned this matter briefly in the compromise, but he also said good things for you, hum." ”

So that's the case, Xia Ziyan only understood when he heard Xia Hao's words that the discord between Mu Congjun and Xia Hao was well known, presumably Mu Congjun also understood this in his heart, and took advantage of this to deliberately sue himself but did not investigate his own fault, but on the contrary, Xia Hao was even more angry about it, which was more effective than actually pursuing his own fault. The superficial work is not leaky, and it has achieved its own goal, which is really cunning. And the two clans of Mu Mu have been united, capable of literature and martial arts, not to mention Mu Yunyun's favor in the harem, the power is imaginably huge, but I don't know which prince will be co-opted, anyway, it can't be himself, Xia Ziqing estimates that it is impossible, but things can't be defined casually until the end.

Thinking in his heart, Xia Ziyan kowtowed to Xia Hao again, his tone was sincere, and he said, "My father is above, and my sons dare not have any intentions, this matter has not been reported, and it is really because my sons are unwilling to let their father worry about such a trivial matter." ”

"Forgive me for not daring to have a bad heart. Xia Hao picked up the flower tea and took a sip again, the sweet fragrance of the tea eased the stuffiness in his chest, and he asked, "me don't worry about what I say, you don't count." Now that the matter has been brought up again, you can tell me why you temporarily resisted the decree that day, and why you trespassed into the royal road?"

"The son is guilty. ”

Xia Ziyan knelt down, kowtowed, and only said these four words in his mouth, and then there was no follow-up. finally lifted the anger in Xia Hao's chest, "If you have something to say, make it clear, if you are guilty, you will explain it, your mouth is not sealed, don't close it so tightly every time." ”

Ge Yun, who had been standing quietly outside the door, was startled by the sudden sound of broken porcelain in the pavilion, and he pushed open the pavilion door without waiting for instructions, but saw Xia Hao holding his forehead with his hands and leaning on the armrest with his eyes closed, Xia Ziyan was still kneeling on the ground, as if Xia Ziyan had just entered the door before, as if nothing had happened in the pavilion.

The only change was that the teacup that had just been handed to Xia Hao was thrown to the ground and shattered, and the tea was wet and flowing on the ground, like tears on the ground. Ge Yunruo walked into the pavilion door in disregard, and at the same time, the hand hidden behind him beckoned to the side, and a palace man standing at the corner of the stairs immediately trotted over with a food plate, and there was a small covered bowl on the food plate, but he didn't know what it contained.

Ge Yun took the food plate, walked towards Xia Hao with a smile, and said, "Shengshang, this is the lotus seed that Mu picked from the previous child, and I made you your favorite lotus seed soup, and I just sent someone to send it." ”

Xia Hao opened his eyes, glanced at Ge Yun and the lotus seed soup in his hand, nodded the table with his hand, and asked him to put the lotus seed soup on the table, Ge Yun didn't seem to see it, but he still saw it but deliberately, he still stretched out the food plate in front of Xia Hao's eyes, and said persistently, "This lotus seed soup has just been chilled with ice water, and it has been taken out of the ice water for a period of time at this time, and it is not too cold, and it tastes the most comfortable and delicious......

Before he finished speaking, Xia Hao glared at Ge Yun impatiently, and said, "Come less, where did you pick lotus seeds at this time, you don't use the name of ripples to scare me." ”

Having said that, Xia Hao still brought the bowl of lotus seed soup over, scooped a spoonful and drank it casually, it seemed that it was too delicious, he also pursed his lips and tasted it, but the hand that was about to put down the spoon scooped several sips instead, and finally simply drank the lotus seed soup spoonful by spoon.
