"Son-in-law, see father!"

In the Mingwa house, the Northern Xia Emperor is located at the top, the prince is on the left, and the teacher is on the right.

Shi Qingqing stood in the hall, and after receiving the salutes of the officials, he bowed to the Northern Xia Emperor.

In recent years, the body of the Northern Xia Emperor has not been as tough as in previous years, and it is inevitable in this season of recurrence of diseases.

"Flatten." The Northern Xia Emperor opened his mouth lightly, and the medicinal fragrance became more and more intense.

Shi Qingqing turned around and saluted to Shi Xiang again, "Qing'er greets Daddy." ”

The teacher didn't change much, but his eyes became more and more profound, "Get up, I'm going to take the exam later, don't be nervous, just be attentive!" ”

Shi Qingqing replied softly, in the past three years, although the relationship with Shi Xiang has been like a separation, it has been much better!

"Qing'er, how is Old Wen doing?" Emperor Beixia took a sip of honey mixed with pear water, pursed his lips and asked.

"Back to my father, Master's recent health has been getting worse and worse, just now Qing'er went to see, coughing constantly, Qing'er is trying to take the imperial doctor to take a look, I don't know if my father will allow it."

Wen Lao is 80 years old, and although he does not need to take care of government affairs now, he has been suffering from illness for many years due to the outbreak of the disease at the beginning of spring, and now he can only lie half-lying.

But his temper is not small at all, Shi Qingqing remembered the appearance of Wen Lao's face and thick neck when he was arguing with him about political topics, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"Take a few more, Elder Wen is the elder of the three dynasties of my dynasty. It is meritorious to Northern Xia, if the cure is not good, you don't have to come back to see me! In the end, his tone became more vain, and several accompanying imperial doctors hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

Shi Qingqing wanted to persuade a few words, but was stopped by Xia Han with his eyes, so he had to step aside.

"This year's school test is very important to my father, Qingluo, you have to show yourself well later, don't let your father down!" The second prince held the tea and stared at Shi Qingqing, the armor on his body glowed coldly, and he became more and more serious.

Shi Qingqing frowned slightly, and he didn't have time to figure out what the second prince meant. has been robbed. "Qing Luo is a disciple of the old scholar Wen, no matter how much he will not lose the face of the royal family, but the second brother, if you only know how to use brute force. But it doesn't solve any problems. ”

Last year, there was a drought in Kungang. The emperor ordered the second prince to lead 2,000 men and horses to personally escort the disaster grain. Who knew that he was looted halfway, and the second prince was even more injured and has not healed yet. As a result, the Northern Xia Emperor seized the military power of the second prince.

The eighth prince has always regarded himself as a literati, and he has always been at odds with the second prince who likes martial arts, but this time it was Shi Qingqing who became the fuse.

"If you don't disgust me with the old rotten grain, the robbers will hurt my two thousand brothers, I will definitely not let him go, and I will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces!" The second prince's face was hideous, and his whole face was red from too much effort, and he was born on dark skin like a black and purple pig's liver.

A trace of disdain flashed quickly in the eyes of the Eighth Prince, and then he gently brushed the jade fan on his chest, and held the tone, "Lord Zaifu is still investigating this case, and he has even traveled thousands of miles to Kungang, and he has not returned yet, what are you going to do to break his body into ten thousand pieces?" ”

Shi Qingqing then remembered that Uncle Zai's father hadn't seen him for a long time, and he didn't know how he was now, although Kungang said that the drought had long been resolved, but after all, there were often bandits, and the people around Uncle Zai's father didn't know if they were dedicated.

For the battle of tongues between the two princes and the eighth prince, the master minister's style is not moving, and he only concentrates on tasting tea, and the officials only care about their own self-protection, and do not dare to speak falsely.

Xia Han just lowered his head and touched the deer bone jade wrench between his thumbs, rubbing the corners of his mouth back and forth with a seemingly nonchalant smile, not knowing what he was thinking.

For a while, everyone's expressions were different, Xu saw Xia Han's carelessness, and the eighth prince had a goal and aimed at Xia Han, "I don't know how the Criminal Department handled this matter?" ”

Xia Han smiled heavily, kept in his hand, and turned it back lightly, "As the eighth brother said, Lord Zai's father is still investigating the case in Kungang, and Qiu Tong of my criminal department is also by his side, but so far there are very few clues, I only know that this bandit does not seem to have no military discipline, as if he has been trained, he acts quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, and there are no important clues left on the scene!" ”

"Oh?" The eighth prince said meaningfully, but his eyes were raised, and he glanced at the prince on the side, "I didn't expect that there are such good hands in a small place in Kungang, but it reminds me of the prince's Xiao Se personal guard, the same brave and wise ......"

"Eighth brother has been getting more and more humorous recently, my Xiao Se personal guard was sent by me to protect my father, and at this time, I am guarding at the foot of the mountain to protect the safety of my father and everyone, where is the time to go to Kungang!" The prince's face was slightly gloomy but still smiling, and he quietly interrupted the words of the eighth prince, and his words were reasonable and well-founded, and he did not lose the atmosphere of the prince.

After speaking, he asked the Northern Xia Emperor with concern, "Father, have you often had nightmares recently?" ”

"With the prince's Xiao Se personal guard, it is indeed a lot more relieved!" The Northern Xia Emperor nodded lightly, acquiescing to the prince's words.

When the eighth prince heard this, he pinched the jade fan and turned white, and was slightly annoyed: obviously he received reliable news that Xiao Se's personal guard had only returned to the imperial capital recently, how could he have been in the palace all the time?

"Father, you have to follow the doctor's instructions, don't work so hard, it's better to let the prince share more troubles." Shi Qingqing looked at the blue and black under the eyes of the Northern Xia Emperor for a while, it is okay to ignore the open and secret battles between the princes, but if anyone has a different heart, he will be punished!

Emperor Beixia looked at Shi Qingqing's worried gaze, and his heart couldn't help but warm a little, and said gently: "Father knows that there is Qing'er who is worried about how his father can not cherish his body!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes were somewhat stupid.

Only Shi Xiang's face was as usual, and he chatted casually with the emperor according to Shi Qingqing's words, and the smoke of war in the palace disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Gai Qing came to please.

On the plain white robe, a wisp of fresh breeze was brought in, and he walked calmly in the eyes of the young and promising eyes of the officials, standing in the position where Fang Cai Shi Qingqing had stood.

Drawing everyone's attention.

The Eighth Prince came back to his senses and turned away with a disdainful 'hiss', and he didn't like people who were more literati than him.

The second prince let out a heavy 'hum' sound from his nose, looked away, and was even more displeased with the weak and polite literati.

Xia Han and the crown prince looked at the people in the palace with a smile, one slightly hooking the corners of their lips and the other reaching the bottom of their eyes.

"Your Majesty, the political history exam is about to start, and I invite Emperor Qingluo to go to the examination site to prepare."

Gai Qing's eyes did not squint, and he bowed down calmly to understand his intentions.

Emperor Beixia nodded lightly, "Mr. Gai has worked hard. After speaking, he whispered softly to Shi Qingqing on the side: "Go, Qing'er, don't be nervous, your father is right, just do your best!" ”

"Yes, Qing'er retired." Shi Qingqing stood up, saluted the Northern Xia Emperor and Shixiang, and then turned around and followed the building out of the Mingwa House.

Shi Qingqing didn't look back, deliberately ignoring the fierce gaze behind him.

……

postscript

Three years ago, Shuntian Temple, side hall.

The Northern Xia Emperor picked up a piece of milky white bamboo shoots, put it in a small bowl of jasper, and asked casually: "Han'er, you have done a good job in Quancheng this time, what reward do you want?" ”

Xia Bai looked overjoyed, it seemed that his father had indeed named the seventh brother the king of cold.

"Back to the father, the sons dare not take credit, this time the Quancheng incident made the sons understand, the water can carry the boat and can also overturn the boat, the people are cold and cold and the fragility of life, the sons will personally send those who died miserably every day, I am very ashamed, I failed to save all the people, how dare I take credit again, and ask my father to punish the sons!" Xia Han put down the jade chopsticks, fell to his knees with a pop, and spoke earnestly.

Emperor Beixia glanced at it lightly, and his tone couldn't help but slow down a little, "Get up, don't kneel if you have injuries on your body!" ”

Xia Han thanked him flatteredly and sat beside Xia Bai.

Xia Bai became more and more puzzled, "Seventh brother, didn't Prince Fang Cai say that his father wanted to crown you the King of Han?" Father, the seventh brother is indeed meritorious in this matter, why don't you reward and punish him? ”

Emperor Beixia's eyes sank, and his fingers were slightly paused with vegetables, "Oh? Did you meet the prince before? ”

Xia Bai still couldn't see the shape clearly, and looked like he was hugging for Xia Han, "Yes, father, but the prince said that you told him to do it, so he won't come to greet you!" ”

The Northern Xia Emperor nodded lightly, his face was as usual, but from Shi Qingqing's point of view, he just saw the Northern Xia Emperor's green muscles jumping and jumping, judging from Shi Qingqing's understanding of the Northern Xia Emperor, he was already furious.

Xia Bai wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Shi Qingqing snatching the food in the bowl with chopsticks, "If you don't eat this, I'll eat it." ”

This Xia Bai didn't even know that he was being used as a gunman.

After Shi Qingqing's intervention, the Northern Xia Emperor's anger was slightly released, and he turned his head and ordered Gonggong Li to take several plates of this meal.

Shi Qingqing only buried his head in drinking porridge, deliberately ignoring the oppression brought by Xia Han's fierce gaze, I can't count how many times this has hurt him, but it is not a bad thing, at least, the emperor has already believed him.

……….

A day later, the Northern Xia Emperor ordered that the seventh prince Xia Han had a meritorious role in dealing with Quancheng and was promoted to the king of Han, and at the same time transferred the prince from the military aircraft department to the Hanlin Academy, and rejected the prince's order to change the post of governor of the government.
