Father Lin was late, and it was already past the hour when he arrived at the official department, and he was an hour late.

Someone who was familiar with him came over and whispered, "What's the matter with you, it's late today?" Qi Langzhong came over to inspect and was very dissatisfied with your lateness. ”

"Qi Langzhong?" Father Lin frowned, "Isn't he rarely here?" ”

"yes, reads;." "So you're unlucky." ”

Xiao Xiao was late, because of Qi Langzhong's fuss, Father Lin was notified and criticized, so that the officials took it as a warning.

The injury on his face, Xiao Jingxin's humiliation, and the ridicule of his colleagues, Father Lin held his breath for a while, coupled with the cold, he froze outside the carriage for an hour, and he became ill when he went back.

In addition to Father Lin, there are also other people in the Zhenbao Zhai Lin Mansion, but anyone who is related to Lin Long, Xiao Jingxin has gone to find trouble. Because the situation of the succession is unknown, everyone doesn't know who the crown prince's position is, in case it really falls in the Nanchang Palace? Therefore, he was more tolerant of Xiao Jingxin, even though he became more and more rampant.

In the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, Xiao Yan was lying on the bed, groggy, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw a pair of dark and deep, unwavering familiar eyes.

She didn't hate him, she didn't even hate him!

Ataki, the Great Zhou we laid down with our own hands is going to decay!

lost his son, the new policy did not go well, and the courtiers forced him to pass as a stepchild, and under repeated blows, Xiao Ze was more than ten years old, and his sideburns were dry and pale.

"Chen understands?" Xiao sat up from the bed suddenly, looked around blankly, and called urgently.

Chen Ming, the head of the chamberlain, hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave is here." ”

"Did you send a letter to the prince?" He asked Xiao Yan, who came back a few days ago, saying that he would arrive soon.

"Back to His Majesty, I have already sent it, and in less than three days, the prince will definitely return to Beijing." Chen understands and can't figure out Xiao Ze's thoughts, what about the current plan, what about calling the son back, the son of the world suffers from a leg disease and has long been unable to get in the big position.

However, looking at the night terror dream, but in just a few days, it decayed like this. The old ministers in the hall did not understand His Majesty at all for the pain of losing his son, and he was aggressive, which was really sad to watch.

Although His Majesty is in the highest position in the world, there is no one around him who really cares about him, and they only know how to benefit from His Majesty.

Speaking of having no caring people around him, Chen Zhi suddenly flashed a gentle and stunning face in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in this world, only the first queen is really thinking about His Majesty, but unfortunately the sky is not a holiday, and good people do not live long.

Xiao Ze didn't know what to call Xiao Yan back for, he only felt that he was the only straw for himself when he was so embattled. Xiao Yan must have a way, he is the smartest, the most filial, and he will definitely be able to come up with good ideas.

Ah Long praised him, saying that in the future, her child would be as smart as Yan'er, and when she was pregnant, she often called him into the palace. Ah Long always had some strange thoughts, saying that if he saw Yan'er more, the child in his belly would be as smart as him.

Pity...... He really didn't know if this kid was smart or not?

Because Xiao Ze has been ill for a few days, he has dropped out of the dynasty for a few days, blocking those old ministers from the outside and not being able to see the face of the sky, which can be regarded as a quiet ear. But Xiao Ze knew that he couldn't stop it for a few days, and as the king of a country, he couldn't avoid the courtiers.

Sure enough, it didn't stop for a few days, and the Chaozhong Shangshu shot those people left and right, and asked to see them again.

Linhuai Palace

Princess Linhuai was arranging Xiao Jingxiao's collar, and her eyes were full of satisfaction: "My son Zhong Lingyuxiu, with a noble character, faith and righteousness, a masterpiece among people, among these juniors, you are the best, how can the Erlang of the Nanchang royal family compare with you." ”

Xiao Jingxiao wore a robe embroidered with bluegrass on the cuffs of his placket, black hair and eyebrows, picturesque eyebrows, and a serious and silent expression with a slightly bowed and thoughtful expression.

His eyes are extraordinarily black and narrow, his pupils are like ink hooks, and the tails of his eyes are raised with light red marks.

Xiao Jingxiao was famous at a young age, and when he was thirteen years old, he concealed his identity to participate in the imperial examination, and won the second class 39, which was praised by the people.

It's a pity that there is a Xiao Yan in front of him, and the light is so bright that even a saint is afraid of it, and under such a bright sun, his firefly light is insignificant.

People praised him, just a kind praise for the intelligence of young children, but when it came to Xiao Yan, they were in awe.

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Jingxiao has always adhered to the belief that one day he will surpass Xiao Yan and completely cover his light. To this day, his beliefs have not changed, but there has been a slight turn.

He no longer wants to overpower him, he wants to use him!

From this day on, their status will change drastically, he will become a prince, and he is just a broken horse, and he can no longer gallop and jump on the battlefield.

He doesn't need to compare himself with him, he doesn't need to stubbornly surpass him, he just needs to show the tolerant mind of a monarch. He would even appoint him, and praise him when he did a good job.

Xiao Jingxiao is not the only one who is full of spirit, but also Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Jingxin sat on the soft couch and watched Princess Nanchang dress up Xiao Jingyi, he was very proud in his heart, and a little sour, if he was not demoted to a concubine by the saint, would he have a chance to fight for that seat.

He shook his head, shaking out the strange thoughts in his head, he was not as virtuous as the second brother, even if he was not demoted to a concubine, the courtiers would not take a fancy to him.

He better stop being a demon king of the mixed world, and when the second brother becomes the prince and ascends the throne, he will be the first chic person in the world.

"Second brother." He said stiffly, "You have to be long-hearted today, beware of Xiao Jingxiao's kid, he is scheming, and he buries traps for people in the office, you must not fall for his calculations." I'm still waiting for a prince's brother to cover me. ”

"Don't worry." Xiao Jingyi stroked his mouth in the mirror, and his tone was calm, "Even you can see that he is scheming, can't they see that the saints and Shangshu can't see it?" I just need to be a gentle and generous person, I think whether it is a saint or a scholar, they all hope to have a prince who does nothing and rules the arch. Xiao Jingxiao, if you lose, you lose too shrewdly. ”

"Don't be too confident." Princess Nanchang couldn't stand it, and said a blow, "Before the last step, there must be no slackness and show the slightest flaw." You don't need to do anything, just humility and tolerance are enough. ”

"Mother taught me a lesson."

Xiao Jingyi has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he can especially listen to the persuasion of others, and he has a good temper.

This is also the reason why Zuo Xiang and other old ministers value him, compared to a capable but self-righteous monarch, they prefer a king who reveres virtue and repays merit and can accept the words of a hundred schools.

The two sides met in the palace.

The left servant of Shangshu, who represents Xiao Jingyi's faction, shot Liu Chong, and snorted at Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, who represented Xiao Jingxiao's lineage.

"Left Phase." is different from Liu Xiang, but Lord Lu, the secretary of the ministry, is well-cultivated and polite.

Xiao Jingyi and Xiao Jingxiao, who were beside the two, glanced at each other, their expressions seemed to be careless, but secretly sparks were flying.

After a while, the right minister Zhou Shi also arrived, and when he saw the two parties fighting, he smiled and adjusted: "Fight now?" It's early, I haven't met the saint yet. The two adults are also strong and strong, but on such a cold day, they are all very hot. I can't, I'm afraid of the cold, one step ahead, one step ahead. ”

As he spoke, he passed between the two people and walked quickly towards the Zichen Palace.

Seeing that Zhou Shi was gone, the two sides looked at each other for a while, and they chased Zhou Shi away.

"Right Phase." Lord Lu spoke first, "Xiaolangjun has a respectful and filial temperament, and a good character...... What do you think? ”

Zhou Shihao wants to give him a roll of his eyes, does the name be filial piety, does it mean filial piety? He didn't see any piece of filial piety.

Seeing that Zhou Shi turned a deaf ear, Lord Lu was a little embarrassed, and Liu Chong on the other side was gloating. He and Zhou Shi are divided into left and right, and they have been fighting for many years, and they know him best. Zhou Shi's goods, the whole one and the muddy temperament, everything doesn't matter, but everything is mixed with it.

It's just that this person has outstanding luck, but everything he mixes and things he is optimistic about in the end are all miraculous successes, which makes people really have no thoughts in their hearts.

If you are lucky enough to be like this, it really makes people jealous and hateful.

In the Zichen Palace, Xiao Ze had a headache when he saw this group of people, Xiao Jingxiao and Xiao Jingyi, he couldn't look down on either, one was pompous and had a very high self-esteem, and the other was soft and kind and had no ideas, and was easy to be manipulated.

But even these two people who can't look down on themselves are already the big ones in the clan, and they are the better ones in the clan.

If the two of them are as good as Xiao Yan, he can rest assured that he will hand over the country to them.

Seeing the saint, the officials and the left glanced at each other, and they were all ready to play, praising the person they liked. The two of them watched each other, and both wanted to take the lead, but neither of them grabbed the week.

Zhou Shi was the first to speak: "How is the Holy Body today, you look a lot healthier?" ”

Xiao Ze coughed twice, waved his hand, and glanced over everyone: "It's okay, as long as you are no longer angry, I will be fine." ”

Hearing this, everyone quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

After getting up, Zhou Shi still didn't give Liu and Lu a chance, and spoke first: "Your Majesty is laughing, it's too late for the ministers to be anxious and burn the Holy Body, how can you bother Your Majesty, Lord Liu, Lord Lu, don't you say?" He even led the conversation to them.

This villain! Liu and Lu are both going to be angry, at this moment, they really don't nod their heads, and they don't shake their heads.

If you nod your head and admit that you don't bother the saints, how can you still ask for succession; If you shake your head...... Of course they can't shake their heads, how can they admit to deliberately angry saints.

Zhou Shi is a villain, I really want to draw a circle and curse you!

Although it was put on a table by Zhou Shi at the beginning, but the two adults were not fuel-efficient lamps, Lord Lu stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the second son of King Linhuai, Xiaolang Jun, is respectful and filial, I heard that His Majesty's holy body is in the way, and I am worried all night, so I specially sent someone to the south to invite a famous doctor, and the famous doctor Mr. Saihuatuo will arrive soon." ”

"Okay." Xiao Ze nodded, "Jingxiao is a filial piety, and it is not in vain that your father gave you this name." ”

Xiao Jingxiao was excited, and immediately stepped forward to flatter Xiao Ze, which made Xiao Ze smile and praise him repeatedly.

Seeing this, Liu Chong was not to be outdone, and said: "Your Majesty xià ......"

The two sides you fight, boasting without modesty, attacking each other sharply, arguing so much that reads;.

Zhou Shi stood aside to watch the play, and watched it with great pleasure, occasionally commenting on a few sentences with Xiao, and occasionally making a stumbling block for the people on both sides in order to add interest, so angry that Liu and Lu blew their beards and glared, and they didn't dare to really face him, for fear that he would stand in the other camp.

Xiao Ze was not in a good mood at all when he saw these people, but when he was around him and jokingly talking, he also watched it as a drama and found it fun for a minute or two.

He sighed in his heart, Zhou Shi is really a pistachio, no wonder Ah Long treated him differently when he was there, and praised him several times for his clear eyes and clear mind.

Xiao Ze didn't know if Zhou Shi was clear-minded, but he only knew that this product was about to become fine.

When he implemented the New Deal, Zhou Shi would stand on his side and on the opposite side, making people love and hate, but he couldn't take him, he was slippery like a loach, and he couldn't grasp the slightest handle.

Although at some times, Xiao Ze looked down on Zhou Shi's duplicitousness, but he also had to admit that the policies that benefited the country and the people were implemented under his mediation.

Xiao Ze was still sick, it was okay to listen to the noise for a while, but after a long time, he felt that his temples were pounding suddenly, and his heart was irritable.

At this time, Liu and Lu had already quarreled to the white-hot stage, and they all let Xiao judge it.

In the end, Liu is right, or Lu is right.

Although it is only a simple judgment, there is no simple thing to say on the political zhì, they are actually forcing Xiao Ze to make a decision, whether to choose Xiao Jingxiao or Xiao Jingyi.

The sharp suffocating atmosphere is like an invisible net, shrouded over everyone's heads, no one wants to break free, and must give a clear word.

Liu Lu and the two fought side by side, and the swords were tense.

Under the seemingly calm appearance of Xiao Jingxiao and Xiao Jingyi, they were surging and angry, sparks splashing, snapping, and trying to burn each other to death.

Even Zhou Shi restrained his little naughty and shrunk his shoulders to calm down.

Xiao Ze, who was sitting at the top of the house, was silent, his solemn gaze swept over Xiao Jingxiao and Xiao Jingyi, and then sighed heavily, as if helplessly, he said: "I ......"

As soon as he made a sound, Xiao Huangmen trotted all the way to the periphery and raised his hand to Chen Zhi beside Xiao Ze, desperately squeezing his nose and making his eyes.

"What?" Xiao frowned. It was rare for someone to interrupt the stalemate and delay time, and Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yu hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, the people below are not sensible, so the slave will go and take a look." ”

"Let him in, tell me what's going on? Wait a little longer, and the little man's nose will be gone. Xiao told a bad joke.

Only Zhou Shi cheered: "Haha-"

It is rare for Liu Lu and the two to work together and stare at each other: Laugh!

Hold it back for a while.

Xiao Huangmen trembled and walked in front of him: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince of Qin asks to see!" ”
