88. Fanwai 8
After staying in the Yunzhou camp for another two days, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi took Xu Ren and the four of them back to Beijing together, but there was also a Paleken on the way.
Walking with Pei Ze to the Yanxi Gate of the palace, Xiao Yanzhi stopped his horse.
"You go, I'll go back to the palace first."
Pei Ze's eyebrows frowned, and he asked Xiao Yanzhi: "You don't want to enter the palace with me?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "I'm a commoner, what kind of palace do I enter." ”
"And no one is stopping you."
Who in the palace doesn't know how this commoner came from? Who doesn't know Xu Lishan's fancy for words? Also the common people? In other words, if it is a common people, it is the common people with the highest status in the world.
"You're all back, so don't you go to see Xu Lishan?" Pei Ze asked again.
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "I'm not a child, why do I have to see each other?" ”
Pei Ze gave Xiao Yan a blank look, and then beat the horse to Xiao Yanzhi's side, pulled Xiao Yanzhi's hand and held it in his hand: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Before the words fell, Pei Ze beat his horse and led Xiao Yanzhi to the palace.
Xiao Yanzhi was helpless, so he could only hit the horse first to keep up with Pei Ze.
Paleken scratched his head, glanced up at the plaque on the city gate, and then followed behind Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi with Xu Ren and the four of them.
On the way from Yunzhou to Chang'an, he didn't have a chance to say a word to His Royal Highness of the Tang Kingdom, either King Wucheng deliberately took people away, or Xu Ren and the four of them deliberately separated him from His Highness, why did they let him go like this? He didn't mean to do anything bad!
After entering the palace, Xiao Yanzhi shook the hand held by Pei Ze and said, "Let go, people in the palace are coming and going." ”
Pei Ze turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi and said with a smile: "The King of Shu, who once had no scruples, actually cares about this?" Who hugged it at every turn, regardless of time and place? ”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "What if it's me?" At that time, I hugged you if I wanted to, and I didn't want to hold hands with you at this time. ”
Pei Ze pursed his lips, but held Xiao Yanzhi's hand tighter: "I was not happy to give you a hug at the beginning, but now you have to let me hold you if you don't want to." ”
Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this.
He finally knows what it means to come out and always have to pay it back. But it's so embarrassing to walk hand in hand like this, or change your posture.
Entering the Changle Gate through the Gongli Gate to the Qianhua Gate, Pei Ze finally let go of Xiao Yanzhi's hand when he turned over and dismounted.
Who knew that after Pei Ze got off the horse, he went around to Xiao Yanzhi's side.
"I'll help you." Pei Ze tilted his head and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile: "I can't even get off the horse by myself?" ”
Despite saying this, Xiao Yanzhi still put his hand on Pei Ze's hand.
Palegen looked around, and then asked Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, "Do you two really not restrain yourself?" How do I feel like everyone around me is watching you? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi also looked around, and sure enough, he saw the palace people and guards passing by around him looking over here, and their eyes were not the surprise of seeing King Wucheng's return, but they were strange, just like the sight of those generals in the Yunzhou camp.
Seeing this, Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows.
In the few years he was in the palace, the people in the palace should have gotten used to the intimate contact between him and Pei Ze, right? Why did they show such a subtle expression after three years?
Pei Ze didn't care, and after listening to Paleken's words, he just glanced at Paleken, and then took Xiao Yanzhi's hand and walked towards the Liangyi Palace.
In front of the Liangyi Palace, he met the current great eunuch Ying An, and learned from Ying An that Xu Lishan was still in the front hall to discuss with the ministers, and ordered them to go directly to the front hall after they returned.
Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi glanced at each other and went to the front hall.
Walking to the door of the front hall, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly kicked Pei Ze, and then took advantage of Pei Ze's surprise to withdraw his hand.
His hand was suddenly empty, Pei Ze knew why Xiao Yanzhi kicked him, looking at Xiao Yanzhi smiling, Pei Ze stepped into the hall first after Ying An's report, and Xiao Yanzhi followed closely behind Pei Ze.
The moment the two stepped into the main hall, the ministers in the hall turned around and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Welcome King Wucheng back to the palace!"
Because I didn't know what to call the current Xiao Yanzhi, and seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was half a step behind Pei Ze's main hall, the ministers didn't ask Xiao Yanzhi for peace.
Pei Ze didn't say anything, led Xiao Yanzhi straight to Xu Lishan, and then knelt down and saluted, "See Your Majesty." ”
"You're back." Xu Lishan raised his hand and waved it away, waving away the ministers in the palace, "Although it is the Turk I asked you to go, I am really afraid that you will never go back like this." ...... is the one who is following you? ”
Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi turned around when they heard this, and then they saw Paleken, who followed the two people into the main hall silently.
The corners of Pei Ze's mouth twitched, and he explained to Xu Lishan: "This is the Turkic Tong Lifa, who wants to come to the Tang Kingdom to learn how to govern the country. ”
"Oh, that's right," Xu Lishan looked at Paleken, "but the journey is tiring, so please go and rest first." ”
Knowing that Xu Lishan had something to say to Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, Paleken left the hall with Ying An in a familiar manner.
Ying An also glanced at Xu Lishan when he left, and then closed the door of the hall by the way when he stepped out of the hall.
As soon as they heard the dull sound of the heavy door closing, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi's hearts jumped, and when the door was completely closed, Xu Lishan suddenly threw a fold in front of Pei Ze's eyes.
"Can you two not get me in trouble?!"
Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, picked up the fold on the ground and looked at it, smiled after reading it, and then handed the fold to Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Yanzhi took the fold and laughed when he saw it.
"Yo he, urging you to get married." Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his hand and poked Pei Ze.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was still laughing, the green tendons on Xu Lishan's forehead jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not just that one, my book case has been almost covered with such folds in the past few days, what are you two doing outside?!" Get up and find your own place to sit! ”
Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi didn't send any messages after they left for three years, but they just let them go to the Turks, and it was only three months back and forth, how could the little thing between the two of them be known to everyone?
Those ministers didn't know where they heard the news, and they didn't dare to ask him for confirmation openly, but they presented excerpts one after another, some said that King Wucheng and his father had worked hard and made great achievements, and they should become relatives as soon as possible to inherit the Pei family, and ask him, the emperor, to give Xu a good fate, and some said that although the eldest prince Xiao Yanzhi has been demoted to a commoner, he is still a royal bloodline in the end, and he should take on the responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the royal family.
Doesn't he know these things? But what's the use of him knowing?! Now, how could these two people marry another woman? If he dared to talk to the two of them about it, he wouldn't be killed?
Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi got up, and the two walked in the same direction together, sitting side by side.
As a result, as soon as the two of them sat down, Xu Lishan said: "Sit separately and sit separately!" Now I have a headache when I see you two together! ”
The corners of Xiao Yanzhi's mouth twitched, so he had to get up and sit opposite Pei Ze.
After sitting down, Xiao Yanzhi spoke: "Speaking of which, this matter was only exposed when we left the Turks and returned to Yunzhou, and both of us just returned to Beijing, why did this matter spread all over the capital?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Lishan glared at Xiao Yan and said, "A letter from home to be sent from Yunzhou to Chang'an is only seven days, and it will be about half a month slower, but it has been a month since the two of you left Yunzhou!" ”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and pretended to be stupid: "Ah, is it? It's a real time flight. ”
"Don't!" Xu Lishan rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, "What are you two going to do about this?" Who will come forward to clarify? ”
Pei Ze said disapprerovitically: "Clarify what?" It's all true. ”
Xu Lishan's eyebrows frowned, and he looked at Pei Ze suspiciously: "Shouldn't this matter be revealed by Brother Pei?" ”
Pei Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your imperial brother suddenly wants to know what it's like to be a male pet, but he has a fight with someone in Turkic, and he can only expose the identity of the prince, and a prince can't be a male pet, right?" ”
Pei Ze's words were brief, but Xu Lishan probably guessed the whole story after a little thought.
"Male pet? If he messes around, you will accompany him to mess around?! Dignified ...... Grandiose, what do you want to know what it's like to be a male pet?! ”
Pei Ze picked his chin and pointed at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "You ask him." ”
Xu Lishan turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and he could see the smile on Xiao Yanzhi's face, and he was deflated.
Xiao Yan must have prepared a hundred reasons to wait for him, and he really didn't want to hear any of them.
"Whatever the reason, you two must come forward to clarify this matter, otherwise those ministers will have to annoy me."
"What's the matter with me?"
This sentence Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi said almost in unison, and the harmonious voices that were stacked together made Xu Lishan stunned, but Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi looked at each other and smiled.
"You guys!" Xu Lishan was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Am I trying to do anything for whom?" Do you two still have a little conscience?! It's just a matter of throwing all the political affairs to me, why do you even have to throw your own affairs to me?! ”
Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi said in unison again: "Because you are the emperor." ”
Xu Lishan gritted his teeth angrily and said: "Anyway, you two will handle this matter for me, and before this matter is dealt with, I will have people send half of the folds to the Wucheng Palace!" ”
Hearing this, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi frowned together.
Half of the fold? That's a lot of hard work.
Xu Lishan said again: "From tomorrow, King Wucheng will return to the dynasty, and I will send someone to pick up King Wucheng to the early dynasty." Step aside. ”
As soon as Xu Lishan put on the emperor's shelf, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze really had no choice but to get up and leave.
Out of the Liangyi Palace, Xiao Yanzhi kicked Pei Ze and said, "You knew that things would turn out like this, but you still deliberately said the matter?" ”
Pei Ze held Xiao Yanzhi's hand and said, "You are mine, I can finally tell the world about this matter, and I am still blessed by you." ”
Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Co-authoring is his own sin.
