Chapter 167 Yao's father waits for the emperor to see Xiao Shizi's performance
The Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has been treated coldly for so many years, and when he was appointed again because of the relationship in the East Palace, Yao Houye didn't expect to get any good face when Emperor Zhenglong was still in power. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to Yao Xuan's meaning, the 'work summary' in the past two years, as well as the 'theoretical planning' for the new position, were sorted out into concise and pragmatic twists and turns, so that Emperor Zhenglong could check it.
Now, because of his health, his temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he is getting more and more impatient with those superficial articles that praise virtues, and he has already had several attacks on officials who have been favored and promoted by him because they are good at flattery.
Early the next morning, Yao Houye entered the palace to wait for the meeting, at that time the early dynasty was not over, Yao Houye, like other ministers waiting for Emperor Zhenglong to summon, stayed in the side hall specially prepared for the ministers.
Yao Houye entered the palace this time wearing an official uniform, and he became a deputy envoy at a young age, among the middle-aged and even elderly ministers, he can really be said to be a standing outstanding.
But Yao Houye's face was not embarrassed at all, but he quickly found someone he knew and talked to him, and then introduced each other to each other through the other party and others, and after a while, he got to know most of the people in the house.
And after everyone knew the identity of Yao Houye, most of them were polite and friendly to the brother-in-law of the current Prince Jinshun and the prospective father-in-law of the future Prince Jinshun, their so-called lucky person.
Regarding the fact that he was valued because of 'borrowing light', Yao Houye laughed in his heart, but he did not show any embarrassment on his face, and he still talked and laughed with everyone.
However, there are also officials of other factions who are not accustomed to Yao Houye's 'arrogance', and dare not openly say about the discord between father and son in the prince's mansion, so they boast of Yao Houye's good fortune in a strange voice, meaning that he can keep the wealth of several generations in the mansion by relying on his sisters and daughters, so why do they have to work as hard as they are 'ordinary people'?
"To be loyal to the saints, why do you have to work hard?" Yao Houye looked at the official who spoke in surprise when he heard this, because the other party was also a small nobleman with a low title, Yao Houye mocked unceremoniously, "A family like ours that has been favored by the grace of God for generations can support dozens of generations with their own family business, who is embarrassed to point to the court and not be able to live?" ”
Yao Houye innocently looked at the middle-aged man who spoke, as if he was surprised that the other party would be so miserable, and then when the other party's choked face was blue and red, Yao Houye said to the man with a serious face, "The same honor, the younger brother rashly reminded Brother Tai that our scenery and wealth all come from the grace of the saint, so he should repay the saint's loyalty, and Brother Tai has also been an official for many years, right?" This realm...... It's still time to elevate and improve. ”
Gong Zhe, who was standing at the door of the side hall, heard this, and seemed to see the little cousin's sly smiling face again, and he couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, but there were only palace attendants waiting with low eyebrows around him, so no one saw this rare scene.
Hearing that the little Xungui was a little annoyed and angry and was about to speak again, Gong Zhe raised his feet and walked into the hall, and Lu Guo behind him called in a clever voice: "I respectfully obey the prince and the prince to arrive!" ”
Lu Guo's sharp voice sounded, and the eyes of everyone in the hall immediately focused on Gong Zhe's body, and they all bowed down and raised their hands to say hello.
When Yao Houye saw Gong Zhe, a cheap nephew, the expression on his face was complicated for a moment, and then he quickly returned to his previous smiling appearance, and also raised his hand to make a gesture of saying hello to Gong Zhe first.
In this regard, Xiao Shizi naturally refused to accept the courtesy of his father-in-law, and hurriedly took the first step to greet Yao Houye with a respectful expression, and saluted in a down-to-earth manner: "My nephew visits my uncle, please be safe to my uncle." ”
It seems that Prince Shishun, who is indifferent and serious to everyone, is the most favored and valued nephew today, but at this time he has such respect for a step-uncle who is not related by blood, and he can't help but provoke the existing ministers in the palace to look at each other, and they all want to doubt life.
However, thinking about the relationship between these two or quasi-Weng sons-in-law, everyone's hearts are not so difficult to accept, and even the flexible ones have begun to gossip and guess, how outstanding the eldest girl of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion should be now, so that His Royal Highness the prince can 'love the house and Wu' so much.
Seeing Gong Zhe saluting himself so formally and respectfully, Yao Houye was surprised for a moment, so he regained his smile and walked over directly to help him up, pinched his arm vigorously, but replied with a smile on his face: "An, An." ”
Gong Zhe only had time to look at the other people in the room at this time, and lightly asked them to excuse him, and then took the initiative to care about Yao Houye: "Uncle seems to have lost a lot, I think it is due to the hard work of the border pass." ”
"It's fine." Yao Houye was secretly embarrassed when he heard this, and even his hand holding Gong Zhe relaxed a little harder, and then changed the topic with a smile, "I haven't seen you for almost two years, Brother Zhe'er has grown so tall, taller than my uncle, I just don't know if the art of war and martial arts have improved?" ”
Can he say that he actually started to lose weight after his wife returned to Beijing? Although he was busy and hard at the border before, he had the help of the Wu family, and he actually gained a few pounds......
Gong Zhe was accustomed to Yao Xuan's careful appearance, and when he saw Yao Houye showing similar small movements, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at Yao Houye's gaze becoming more and more intimate and gentle, and then he endured the pain on his arm, and replied as if nothing happened: "The homework left by my uncle before leaving Beijing, my nephew has never slackened at all, and when my uncle is free, even if I test my nephew." ”
Yao Houye can be said to have earned enough face with Xiao Shizi today, so as the father of three children, Yao Houye was embarrassed to continue to be angry with this half-grown young man, so he hummed in response to Gong Zhe's words, and then withdrew his hand.
The rest of the ministers saw that Prince Jinshun actually treated his step-uncle so well, and they couldn't help but rejoice in their previous good behavior, but the one who offended Yao Houye with a white face silently closed up and shrank behind others at this time.
Yao Houye hadn't thought of him yet, but when he moved, everyone's eyes swept towards him, but Yao Houye didn't have the heart to deal with him at this time, and instead asked about Gong Zhe's intention. (To be continued.) )
