Zheng Xiaochun immediately understood that it was originally for the Lord of Jinyan and Zheng Xiaoyang, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Everything is up to the emperor." ”

Qin Yu suddenly smiled, "You are the eldest brother, your marriage is decided, and after you get married, your younger brother can get married." ”

Zheng Xiaochun hurriedly said, "The minister's marriage is not in a hurry. ”

Qin Yu nodded, "I really value the Xingyang Zheng family very much, and I also value you very much. I hope you can really live up to my attention. The words fell, and he said, "Li Rubi has been expelled from the house, Aiqing's marriage should be decided earlier, when the eldest princess came to me, I also mentioned this matter to her, and entrusted her to Zhang Luo for you." ”

Zheng Xiaochun hurriedly got up, "Back to the emperor, the minister has no objections, thank you for the emperor's attention, filial piety will live up to the holy hope." ”

Qin Yu waved his hand, "Lord Zheng has any objections to the arrangement of the military department?" If you don't like the military department, I will resettle you again? ”

Zheng Xiaochun hurriedly thanked Qin Yu again.

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly moved a chair for Zheng Xiaochun, and said with a smile, "Lord Zheng is valued by the emperor, and ordinary adults come to this imperial study, but the emperor does not give them to sit." ”

Qin Yu instructed Xiao Quanzi, "Sit." ”

Jung Hyo-chun stood up.

Qin Yu didn't raise his head and said, "Excuse me." ”

After Zheng Xiaochun came in, he only dared to take a look, and saw Qin Yu crouching in front of the jade case to review the folds, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for peace.

"Yes, yes, the miscellaneous family will take you in." Xiao Quanzi led Zheng Xiaochun into the imperial study, secretly thinking, this eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang is so bold, he is really not as good as the second son of Zheng, and the vision of the county lord of Jinyan is much better than that of the eldest princess.

Zheng Xiaochun was shocked, Xiaoquanzi's father-in-law dared to tell him outside the imperial study, he hurriedly said in a panic, "Father-in-law, did the emperor allow Weichen to meet in person?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Quanzi nodded, "Lord Li admires the little princess, but what...... No matter who has thoughts about the little princess, when they meet the little princess, they have to turn back. When the words fell, he blinked his eyes and said silently, "The emperor is no exception." ”

Zheng Xiaochun was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Lord Li had a marriage contract with the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the past?" ”

Xiao Quanzi saw that he didn't say it, and he was afraid that he would say it wrong, after all, standing in the palace, he couldn't say it at will, but there were some things he said, and some points should be said, and he didn't need to be ordered by the emperor. He whispered, "Master Li has received the emperor's permission to go to the palace to see the little princess." ”

Zheng Xiaochun hurriedly withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

Xiao Quanzi went in to say goodbye, Qin Yu nodded, Xiao Quanzi walked out, and saw that Zheng Xiaoyang was still looking at the direction where Li Muqing left, and asked with a smile and in a low voice, "Lord Zheng, what are you looking at?" ”

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Zheng Xiaochun hurriedly stopped thinking.

Xiao Quanzi glanced back at Zheng Xiaochun, "The miscellaneous family went in to tell you, Lord Zheng waited." ”

Zheng Xiaochun saw him leave, a little puzzled, didn't understand that officials couldn't enter and leave the inner palace at will? Why didn't Li Muqing leave the palace, but entered the inner palace.

"Well said." Li Muqing smiled lightly and walked towards the inner palace.

Zheng Xiaochun woke up and hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Thank you, Lord Li, in the future, please ask Lord Li not to remember the villain's mistakes, and take care of it." ”

Li Muqing looked at him and spoke first, "Congratulations to Lord Zheng, the military department is not easy." ”

Zheng Xiaochun didn't expect to meet Li Muqing at the door of the imperial study so soon, he was already nervous, but when he saw Li Muqing at this time, he was even more nervous, and he was stunned for a while.

Xiao Quanzi hurriedly saluted, "Lord Li." ”

Li Muqing walked out of the imperial study, and after he walked out, he happened to meet Xiao Quanzi leading Zheng Xiaochun to come.

Qin Yu waved his hand at him.

Li Muqing nodded and bowed his hand to Qin Yu, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will retire." ”

Qin Yu sneered, "I naturally know where your heart knot is, you go and see that woman, I can't untie your heart knot, she can untie it for you." I don't want my reused courtiers to fall ill one by one. I also pointed out that you would contribute to the court. I can't do those jobs with my own hands. ”

Li Muqing rubbed his eyebrows, "The emperor has every opportunity, and he still cares about the minister's heart knot, and the minister is flattered." ”

"Yan Ting has never been polished, and he can't stand it when he suddenly puts a heavy burden on his shoulders. You're different. With your ability, you can bear twice as much of your burden now. Qin Yu said slowly, "Or is it the knot in my heart, more than ten days have passed, and it has not been untied?" ”

Li Muqing nodded, "The emperor has too many tasks, and I'm tired." Yan Ting is worse than me. ”

Qin Yu looked at him, "If I didn't trust you, I naturally wouldn't reuse you." As the words fell, he looked at his slightly tired face, as well as the blue circles under his eyelids, and raised his eyebrows, "Haven't you slept well lately?" ”

"The emperor is really trustworthy." Li Muqing smiled.

Qin Yu flipped through it casually and said to him, "You can call the shots." ”

Qin Yu was discussing with Li Muqing in the imperial study, and Li Muqing told him that the students who had participated in the martial arts examination in the past two days, and the files of some talents were taken into the palace for Qin Yu to look at during the noon break.

He hurriedly bathed and changed his clothes, and hurriedly entered the palace to thank him.

Zheng Xiaoyang didn't expect the emperor to arrange him directly into the military department, he thought yesterday that if he went to take the civil and military examination, Li Muqing would not embarrass him, after all, Li Muqing had put down cruel words earlier, and later, although Li Rubi had an accident in the middle, this stubble was in the past, but he couldn't keep him from going back and continuing to settle accounts. Now that he has received the holy decree of the Ministry of Advancement, he suddenly put his mind at ease, with the emperor's holy decree, Li Muqing will always see that the emperor wants to reuse the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he will not trouble him again, right?

The two were immediately overjoyed and immediately dismissed their plans to return to Xingyang Zheng. Hurriedly urged Zheng Xiaochun to enter the palace to thank him.

Although he has now been given a small position under Cui Yizhi, it is also a great grace for those who have not been in Beijing for a long time, do not have to pass the civil and military examinations, and go directly to the military department.

Serving in the military department, this is a fat shortage, ordinary people, etc., can not easily enter the military department.

But the next day, Zheng Xiaochun got the emperor's decree.

Zheng Yi and Zheng Cheng originally interceded with the eldest princess after entering the palace, but did not make the emperor let Zheng Xiaoyang feel uneasy, thinking about whether they should leave him first and go back to Xingyang Zheng to see, after all, it has been nearly half a month since he entered Beijing, and now that it is eventful, you need to be careful everywhere, but don't make mistakes. After all, for half a month, I didn't dare to carelessly spread news outside Beijing, and of course I cut off the news from outside Beijing. Now in Beijing, for Xingyang, the news is not clear, and it is always inappropriate for a long time.

The next day, Qin Yu issued an order to exempt Zheng Xiaochun from participating in the civil and military examinations, and arranged him to serve in the military department.

Xie Fanghua was speechless, and after a while, Yun said lightly, "Let's try to live." ”

Qin Yu listened to her and said with a smile, "You talk about the rectification of the country, you know better than anyone else." After a pause, he said, "You and Qin Zheng must live well, so that I can listen to your remarks from time to time, and I can learn more from history than from history." ”

"If Zheng Xiaoyang didn't have this ability, he wouldn't dare to deal with the entire Xingyang Zheng clan with Qin Zheng alone." Xie Fanghua said, "For the monarch and the interests of the country, why bother with what the Zheng family of Xingyang has done in private for so many years? Zheng Xiaoyang showed such great sincerity, although the lives of Zheng Yi and Zheng Cheng are not a pity, why should you do it? Wouldn't it be better to leave it to him at his disposal? What's more, now is the time to employ people, and no one has decided what kind of battle can be fought between Southern Qin and Northern Qi and how long it can last. Fighting a war is a waste of money and labor, and even if the losses are minimized, it is still harmful to national strength. In the next few years, South Qinjiang and Mountain will also need people who will be of great use. Zheng Xiaoyang can use it, and Xingyang Zheng can use it, so it must be used. ”

Qin Yu looked at her.

Xie Fanghua said, "Zheng Xiaoyang wants to be a historian, and what he wants is for the Zheng family in Xingyang, like the mansions of the Marquis of Zhongyong and other high-ranking mansions, to establish the world in a bright and bright way, and to rewrite the history of the Zheng family in Xingyang for several generations." With such a great ambition, he has already taken a step to decisively follow Qin Zheng to cut off all the hidden piles buried by the Xingyang Zheng clan in Northern Qi, and after he returns to Beijing, how can he not deal with the three people of the Xingyang Zheng clan and the entire Xingyang Zheng clan? ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows.

Xie Fanghua thought for a while and said to him, "Since you keep the three people of the Zheng family in Xingyang to wait for Zheng Xiaoyang to come back, it is better to leave these three people to him to deal with when the time comes." ”

"Keep them for now, and keep them in Beijing. This afternoon, I have already sent Xiao Quanzi to Zheng Xiaochun and ask him if he wants to become an official in the court. Qin Yu said lightly, "If Zheng Xiaoyang comes back, the three people of the Zheng family in Xingyang will not kill them if they know the current affairs, and if they don't know the current affairs, then they will be punished quickly." ”

"Can you hear the curses?" Xie Fanghua looked at him, "What are you going to do with these three people from the Zheng clan in Xingyang?" ”

Qin Yu didn't hear clearly, and asked her, "What are you scolding me?" ”

Xie Fanghua glanced at him and muttered.

Qin Yu laughed and shook his head, "No heart." ”

Xie Fanghua raised his eyes and glanced at him, and whispered, "Before Jin Yan got married, if you have the heart, you can still redeem her." ”

"It's rare that Jin Yan is a transparent person." Qin Yu said.

Xie Fanghua was noncommittal.

Qin Yu was amused, "My aunt thinks she is smart in her life, but she is the most foolish person. ”

Xie Fanghua smiled and told the idea she gave to the eldest princess.

In the evening, after Qin Yu returned to the palace, he had dinner with Xie Fanghua and asked about the eldest princess after she came to find her.

The eldest princess happily walked out of the palace.

"Auntie go slowly." Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded, and ordered the waiter to send the eldest princess.

The eldest princess took a deep breath and stood up, "Okay, I'll go back to the house, then Zheng Xiaoyang will let the emperor continue to lock it up, and I also want to see if he can change it." After the words fell, he smiled at Xie Fanghua, "You have been with me for so long, I won't bother you to recuperate, and when the emperor lifts your palace ban, let Jin Yan come to see you." ”

Xie Fanghua smiled and said no more.

"That's right." The eldest princess nodded, "That's it." ”

"When you go back, tell them that the emperor wants to polish Zheng Xiaoyang's temperament well, how can you be locked up in a ten-day dark prison? If he doesn't change, he'll keep it shut up. Xie Fanghua said, "You are a matchmaker for Zheng Xiaoyang, also so that they will no longer go to the eldest princess's mansion every day to annoy you." And after all, he is Zheng Xiaoyang's brother, if you choose a wife for him, and he will also be Jin Yan's eldest sister-in-law in the future, it will be better than Jin Yan facing unfamiliar people in the future. ”

"That Zheng Xiaochun is not a thing compared to Zheng Xiaoyang, and he actually made a drama of begging for his brother to marry him, which made me angry, and now I still care about his marriage?" The eldest princess shook her head unhappily.

"Xingyang Zheng has always had plans to enter Beijing, if he applies for the civil and military examination and is selected, he will stay in Beijing for a long time." Xie Fanghua said again, "Now that the marriage between Zheng Xiaochun and Miss Youxiangfu has collapsed, there has been a rule in ancient times that the elder brother is unmarried, and the younger brother cannot marry. After you return home, it is better to look for an unmarried boudoir lady in Beijing and make another matchmaker for the eldest son of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Anyway, in the future, the eldest princess's mansion and the Zheng family in Xingyang will be in-laws. ”

The eldest princess shook her head, "I don't know, these days, I've been thinking about Zheng Xiaoyang's bad thing, who would think about that Zheng Xiaochun." ”

"If they don't agree, let them go into the palace to find the emperor." Xie Fanghua thought for a while and said, "Now that Beijing is taking the civil and military examinations, the eldest prince is said to be a talented person, hasn't he signed up?" ”

"This ......" the eldest princess looked at Xie Fanghua, "Won't it be too long?" Have the people of the Zheng clan in Xingyang been waiting in Beijing all the time? Do they destroy consent? ”

"In my opinion, let the emperor lock him up first." Xie Fanghua said, "Ten days can't rub off a person's bad temper, what about half a month, twenty days, thirty days?" ”

The eldest princess choked and felt that Xie Fanghua was reasonable, "Then what should I do?" ”

"After ten days in a dark prison, he hasn't changed his temper yet, and he still wants a beauty, so what is the best way for you to take him back?" Xie Fanghua looked at the eldest princess, "Besides, in case, you forced him, he was angry, ran out of the capital, ran back to the Zheng family in Xingyang, and wanted to destroy the marriage contract with Jin Yan, and Jin Yan made up his mind that if he didn't marry, what should you do?" Do you want to chase after Xingyang Zheng again? ”

The eldest princess nodded, "So, I thought about it, so I came to beg you, you tell the emperor and let him let that bastard go." I took him back to the eldest princess's mansion, watched him personally, cleaned him up, and sharpened his temper as a bastard. ”

Xie Fanghua thought about it and said with a smile, "You didn't expect the emperor to let him go, didn't you?" I'm afraid that after returning home, I won't be able to explain to the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang. ”

The eldest princess sighed, "I also want to lock him up for a few more days, but the three people of the Zheng family in Xingyang are grinding me every day to plead, I can't grind, I have already agreed to them, said to plead with the emperor, and let him go." Now that the emperor doesn't let go, haven't I broken my promise? ”

"Then lock it up for a few more days." Xie Fanghua said.

The eldest princess said, angry, "Tell me about this Zheng Xiaoyang, why is he such a bastard, and the secret prison can't even control his temper?" can't rub off his temperament. But Yan'er was still dead-eyed, saying that since he was chosen at that time, it was him. ”

Xie Fanghua coughed.

The eldest princess nodded, "Yes, I've said it's dry, and the emperor won't let it go." said that two days ago, he was still making trouble in the dark prison to ask for a beauty. It seems that he hasn't closed enough, and if he releases it, he still can't change it, do I still come to beg him and let Yushitai impeach him? Impeach him again and put him in prison? ”

"The emperor won't let go?" Xie Fanghua asked.

"A few days ago, after the Zheng Gong, the eldest lord, and the eldest prince of the Zheng family in Xingyang withdrew from the bad thing in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, they remembered Zheng Xiaoyang, for fear that he would be in a dark prison because of his poor health, and he didn't dare to enter the palace to ask the emperor, so he ran to the eldest princess's mansion to find me." The eldest princess said, "I have been grinding by them for the past few days, thinking that more than ten days is about the same, the dark prison is more torturous than the heavenly prison, and today I entered the palace to beg the emperor to let him go." ”

Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

"That day, Li Rubi hurt you, I ended up with that fate, I also want to open it, she took a fancy to Zheng Xiaoyang and chose him, the way she wants to go, I can't take care of her for a lifetime, it's better than Li Rubi falling to the end in the end, I'm such a daughter, where can I bear it? If that's the case, I'm going to have to die. The eldest princess said, "Thinking about it like this, I agree." But Zheng Xiaoyang, that bastard, actually went to the Qinglou on the second day of the marriage contract, and he couldn't spare him, and he must let the emperor keep him for a few more days and treat his bastard. ”

Xie Fanghua looked at her and waited for the following.

The eldest princess sighed, "You know, I don't like Zheng Xiaoyang, that day he went to the Qinglou, I was angry, I found a group of adults in the Yushitai, impeached him in front of the emperor, the emperor was angry, disposed of him, and put him in a secret prison." Now it has been closed for more than ten days. ”

Xie Fanghua nodded.

The eldest princess picked it up, took a sip, and said to Xie Fanghua, "In order not to disturb your rest, I'll make a long story short." ”

The waiter poured her a glass of water.

"Exactly." The eldest princess nodded and entered the inner hall.

Xie Fanghua was amused, "The emperor is making a big fuss, he doesn't like people to come and go in a hurry, but he uses me as an excuse to recuperate." The words fell, and he smiled and invited the eldest princess into the inner hall, "Auntie, is there something urgent to find me?" ”

The eldest princess looked at her with a smile, "Her complexion is much better than that day." Since the emperor said that no one would disturb you anymore to recuperate, no one dared to enter the palace to see you again. I came here out of desperation today, did I bother you? ”

Xie Fanghua said with a smile, "It's much better, I can walk and move, I can't always be stuffy in the house and lie on the bed." I can't get tired of walking these few steps. ”

The eldest princess entered the palace by herself, and when she saw Xie Fanghua coming out of the inner hall, she immediately said, "Is the little princess feeling better?" The eldest aunt is not an outsider, you don't have to come out, your body is important. ”

Xie Fanghua understood, walked out of the palace gate, and went to greet the eldest princess.

"Half an hour smaller." The waiter said.

"How long?" Xie Fanghua asked again.

The waiter whispered, "I went to see the emperor first." ”

Xie Fanghua glanced out and asked softly to the waiter, "Did the eldest princess come to me when she entered the palace, or did she go elsewhere first?" ”

After Xie Fanghua woke up from a nap, she just got up and drank a glass of water, and the waiter came to tell her that the eldest princess was here.
