In the past two days, there has been no one available, even if it is inconvenient to spy on the news, what you want to know, you have to see what Xiao Cuo wants her to know.

Fu Ying frowned and said, "What's going on?" Why is Prime Minister Sima Cheng asked someone to carry him? Just now you said that you went to Hongfeng Mountain with the second prince, and you didn't say that Prime Minister Sima went with him, such a big thing, he was left by the emperor, why didn't he go? ”

The fist gently slapped his shoulder, and he said angrily, "What else are you hiding from me?" ”

"I didn't deliberately hide it from you." Xiao Cuo was a little embarrassed, hugged her and shook her, and said with a smile: "Even this morning, I beat Sima Xin for forty boards." ”

Thirty boards?!

Fu Ying felt that she had accepted incompetence.

"He is a person left by the emperor, how can he say that he will fight? What if people outside see it, and suspect that you want to use the incident of beating Prime Minister Sima to establish your authority, and suspect that you have antipathy towards the emperor? ”

"You." Xiao tapped the tip of her nose, "You're worrying too much." That Sima Xin should have been fighting. ”

"Lord Wang." Xiao Cuo's voice fell, and Ah Yuan saw a warm voice under the corridor: "Master Sima is outside." ”

"Go and let him rest for a while, and the king will come back later." Remember, first ask the imperial doctor to treat Lord Sima's good life. ”

Ah Yuan immediately understood: "Yes, the slave will go." I must let Master Sima remember that it is the favor of the prince. ”

When there was no sound outside, Xiao Cuo put down Fu Ying, got up and paced: "Now that the government is in disorder, the imperial brother has handed over the affairs of Kyoto to Sima Xin. He accused the stability of the inner palace and the outer court, but the four princes ...... And he is pedantic and only respects the holy decree, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, but the second prince returned to Beijing but was placed under house arrest by him in disguise, and he missed the best time to investigate the cause of the death of the fourth prince, isn't it a sin? ”

"That's what you said, but if you beat him this time, aren't you afraid of making people suspicious, saying that you don't accept the emperor's arrangement?"

"I'm just going to show them." Xiao Cuo turned around to look at Fu Ying, and there was a sharp edge in her eyes that she had rarely seen. Cold and sharp, as if out of the sheath of a sharp blade. "Am I the puppet of Prince Xiang? Believe it or not, justice is in the hearts of the people, I went west for the emperor's brother's Jiangdong, and sacrificed my life on the battlefield to die. These people just know how to wave a pen. Loyalty to the royal brother over the years. Are they blind and deaf and cannot see or hear? ”

"The imperial brother asked me to assist in the administration of the court with the second prince, and I don't know when it will be, and the imperial brother doesn't know when he will get better. If I give people the impression of being weak and deceitful, and a little Sima Xin dares to ride on my neck and, how can I serve the public in the future? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Cuo smiled mockingly: "Silly girl, in fact, the old fox himself would like to be beaten by the board." If he is not beaten, how can he show that he is a loyal servant? If you don't get beaten, how can you get rid of future troubles? He is also afraid that the imperial brother will pursue his death after returning to Beijing in the future, and miss the opportunity to investigate the cause of the death of the fourth prince, I have punished him now, and the imperial brother will not be able to turn over the old accounts when he comes back. It's just a meal, and the old fox still earns it! ”

Fu Ying pursed her lips, although she could understand the intricacies that Xiao Cuo said, she also felt that those in the court were really too complicated and tiring, and if it was really the court, it was not a place where people could live in peace.

"However, Prime Minister Sima Cheng is old, forty boards, will he beat people to death."

Xiao Cuo waved his hand: "Where will it be, the person who executes it is my people, and his subordinates are all measured, but there are just some slight skin injuries, and the old thing is not seriously injured, he knows it in his own heart." ”

Fu Ying's eyes couldn't help but be full of admiration when he looked at Xiao Cuo, "Our Ah Cuo is so powerful, my brain can't keep up." ”

"Did you know that your father-in-law is amazing?" Xiao mistakenly came to Fu Ying, wrapped her arms in his arms, bent down to put his chin on her shoulder, hugged her and shook her left and right, and said in her ear: "How do you reward me for being so powerful?" ”

The hot air blew in his ears, causing Fu Ying to itch for a while, and he turned his head to hide in his arms and said, "Isn't it all for you, what reward do you want?" ”

"You're really good at sending people." Xiao Cuo smiled: "That's it, I'll go see the old fox first, so that he won't wait for a long time, and then clean you up when he comes." ”

Cleanup, how to clean up?

Fu Ying opened his mouth to prophesy, but saw Xiao Cuo retreat towards the door and tapped his index finger on his lips, and then turned around and went out, the hem of his robe was flying, his back was quite chic, and his handsome appearance was heart-pounding.

Fu Ying blushed and snorted, and sat back on the kang by the window.

Xiao Cuo arrived at the front side hall and saw Sima Xin sitting crookedly on the circle chair, with a soft and thick brocade mattress under him.

Seeing Xiao Cuo coming in, Sima Xin was about to get up.

Xiao Cuo hurriedly said: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng, please sit down, there is no need to be so polite." ”

"The prince is tolerant, and the old minister will exceed the rules."

"Don't say that, Prime Minister. Why, if you come to the palace so late, you shouldn't be looking for revenge on this king. ”

Sima Xin's joking words caused Sima Xin to laugh for a while, but he didn't dare to move too much and affect the wounds on his buttocks and thighs, so he just arched his hand and said: "The prince is really tormenting the old minister." It's too late for the minister to be grateful to the prince, so how can he take revenge? Besides, it is true that because of the decision of the old minister, the best time to investigate the cause of death of the fourth highness was lost, you raised the board that fell gently, and looked at the old minister, but in essence, it was for the old minister to relieve the siege in the future, and the old minister is here to thank the prince. ”

Xiao Cuo listened to Sima Xin's straightforward gratitude with a smile, and said with a smile: "Where is it, Prime Minister Sima Cheng is full of confidence in speaking now, it seems that he is really fine, and the medicine given by the imperial doctor should be used when he goes back." ”

"Yes, thank you, Lord Wang."

Xiao Cuo smiled and said: "Entering the palace at such a curfew hour at night, should I just say thank you to this king?" Say, isn't there anything important? ”

"The prince is wise." Sima Xin straightened his expression and said, "Actually, the old minister came today to ask the princess for something." ”

Xiao Cuo raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What do you want to do first? "Can the affairs of the previous dynasty be entrusted to the later generations? The old fox must have had some idea.

Sima Xin said: "Just now the summer resort came to the flying pigeon to pass the book, saying that the emperor was seriously ill, the prince died unexpectedly, and there was a landslide in Hongfeng Mountain, all of which is a bad omen, and the queen Luan will return to the palace to preside over the sacrifice to the sky on the same day, pray for the emperor, and pray for our Great Zhou Dynasty." Now that all the shapes have been prepared on the side of the villa, maybe the queen is already on her way. ”

When Xiao Cuo heard this, he pursed his lips and pondered. (To be continued......)
