Chapter Forty-Eight: Another Little Anzi
Zhu Shouwen did not go to court today, and waited for Zhu Ping'an in the upper study.
After entering the study, Zhu Ping'an gave a salute first.
"Xiao Anzi listens to ......"
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he wanted to kneel down to listen to the order, but he heard Zhu Shouwen say, "There are only you and me here, so let's ...... it", so he stood up again.
"Xiao Anzi has meritorious, and he will be promoted to a first-class guard in front of the emperor."
Of course, Zhu Ping'an received the order and thanked him. What kind of first-class guard, it is a great honor to put it on others, but for him it is dispensable, but the superficial article has to be done.
After announcing his will, Zhu Shouwen didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Ping'an quietly.
Zhu Shouwen was a little hairy in his heart, but he didn't speak first, and Zhu Ping'an was not easy to speak.
After a long time of incense, Zhu Shouwen sighed slowly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that your appearance has not changed much since you were a child, this palace would definitely wonder if it was Xiao Anzi standing in front of me." ”
When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he grinned and said in his heart, "Congratulations to Your Highness, you guessed right." But Your Highness, your eyes don't seem to be very good, can't you see that I'm more handsome? ”
On the surface, he said with a bitter face, "I don't know why His Highness said this?" ”
"Don't come to this set of ...... with this palace" Zhu Shouwen made a blank face, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”
Zhu Ping'an had already made up his mind that he couldn't tell anyone about cultivating immortals for the time being.
"Don't dare to hide from Your Highness, last time I have said to His Royal Highness, half a year ago the minister met a strange person who traveled all over the world, after seeing the minister, I don't know how to fall in love, said that the minister is a bone essence, is a person who is destined, and gave a strange book to the minister. There is a lot of content in that book, what is the medicine of the disease, what is the stars and celestial phenomena, and what is the gossip of Qimen...... In short, in addition to the books of the sages, it is all-encompassing. His Royal Highness knew that the minister had never been good at reading, but he was very interested in these strange things, so he studied this strange book carefully. Or the minister has some talent in this area, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it. ”
Zhu Ping'an said with a smile, "If Your Highness is also interested, the minister will present this book to His Highness to see." ”
He knew that Zhu Shouwen was a square person, and he had always only read the books of sages, thinking that everything else was a sideshow, and he would definitely not let him send the books.
Sure enough, Zhu Shouwen seemed to believe his words, but waved his hand, "I won't look at this book palace." The art of the left way is not the right way in the end. Xiao Anzi, you can play, don't be too obsessed. It is still necessary to read more books of sages and sages, so that I can contribute to this palace in the future. ”
"Ministers should follow His Highness's teachings."
Zhu Shouwen knew Zhu Ping'an's temperament, although he agreed in his mouth, he may not think so in his heart, and he didn't say more, just let him go.
"Xiao Anzi, Fang Cai's will is the emperor's grandfather's. This time you have made a great contribution, how do you want this palace to reward you? ”
Zhu Shouwen smiled.
In any case, if it weren't for Zhu Ping'an this time, he would have suffered a heavy loss, but this credit is real.
Zhu Ping'an wanted to pretend to be forced, and according to the routines in those costume dramas, he said something, "It is the duty of the minister to contribute to His Royal Highness." This matter is so ended, it is the blessing of the emperor and His Royal Highness, how dare the minister be greedy for the merit of the sky, and ask for a reward for the merit? Words like that.
But his heart suddenly moved, and he thought that it would be better to take the opportunity to bring up that matter and see what Zhu Shouwen's attitude was.
"Your Highness, if you want to talk about merit, the ministers don't have it, and they don't dare to ask His Highness for reward. But today, the minister really has something to tell His Highness. ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Shouwen was slightly surprised.
Zhu Ping'an saw that Zhu Shouwen had no objection, so he told the process of how he got to know Qin Xixi. He didn't hide anything about it.
"The two sisters and brothers are indeed pitiful, I wonder if His Highness can help them?"
Zhu Ping'an said tentatively.
"That Qin Xixi is still a smart person, she took a fair and honest path, and she didn't play her little tricks anymore, but told you the truth."
After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, Zhu Shouwen did not feel a trace of surprise, he already knew about this matter.
Since Zhu Ping'an and Xiao Ping met, Zhu Shouwen knew what their idea was.
"It seems that our little Anzi has a heart of pity and cherishment. That Miss Qin is very good-looking? ”
Zhu Shouwen looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile.
However, this expression was fleeting, and Zhu Shouwen changed his face to a solemn face, "The situation of the pair of sisters and brothers, this palace has long been clear. It's not that the palace is unwilling to help them, but the stakes are very high, and it involves the king of Zhennan, even if it is the imperial grandfather, he is not willing to ask easily......"
Zhu Shouwen said what he said from his heart.
Originally, he was an extremely benevolent and filial person, Qin cherished the ruin of his sister and brother's country, and he was very sympathetic from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, everyone is a teenager, at an average age, and they were also born in the emperor's family, but they have completely different experiences, which makes him have an inexplicable feeling.
It can be seen from His Majesty Taizu's attitude that he is extremely cautious about this matter. Otherwise, with Taizu's actions, he would have sent troops to South Vietnam to arrest the rebels.
Therefore, Zhu Shouwen does not have much say in this matter.
This is the second time Zhu Ping'an has heard the name of King Zhennan, and he said in his heart, "Is this King of Zhennan very awesome?" Why is it that everyone mentions him as if they are very scrupulous. ”
Zhu Ping'an knew that Zhu Shouwen was telling the truth, and he didn't say anything again.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Shouwen spoke again, "Wait a minute." Xiao Anzi, this palace promises you that she will always give her sister and brother an explanation in the future. Even if they can't help the Qin family restore the country, they must always be well protected. ”
Zhu Ping'an understands that the "future" in Zhu Shouwen's mouth is when he officially ascends the throne and becomes the head of a country. At that time, he was in power himself, and he had a chance of winning.
Jun has no jokes, today Zhu Shouwen agreed in front of himself, that is a promise to himself. Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an was also a little moved.
But thinking that even if Zhu Shouwen ascended the throne, there were countless troubles waiting for him behind him, and he might not be able to sit on the throne, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but have a headache.
There are Liu Ruchang in the court, and these people form a party for personal gain and control the government; Local officials such as Li Tiangang and other feudal officials have different intentions and are ready to move; There are also those vassal kings, all of whom have secret intentions and covet the throne.
Even if you cultivate to the innate level, you can't take a sword and behead all these people.
Zhu Ping'an understands that these forces are intertwined and their interests are entangled, even if they get rid of those culprits, I am afraid that they will not fall apart, but will lead to chaos in the world because of the lack of constraints.
"It seems that these things are still in a hurry, and this marquis must be taken slowly."
These thoughts flashed in Zhu Ping'an's heart, and then he was full of confidence, "What about you guys?" Sooner or later, Ben Hou will arrest you all and sing a little song to Ben Hou. Sing well, a silver ingot; If you don't sing well, you ...... with a whip"
The two monarchs and ministers did not continue this topic, and after chatting for a while, Zhu Ping'an quit the palace.
……
Back in the house, An Le and just met guests in the house.
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to join in the excitement, but when those guests saw him, they immediately knelt down and gave Zhu Ping'an a big salute.
At this time, Zhu Ping'an saw that the leader was Lord Huang of Kyoto Prefecture, and behind him were some young officials in their twenties.
Zhu Ping'an immediately understood that these were all those people who were forced back by him from the ghost gate.
"How can you be so generous, not to kill this marquis?"
Zhu Ping'an smiled and invited them up one by one.
Several people thanked Zhu Ping'an for saving his life.
After being polite, Zhu Ping'an said some words that were appropriate to the situation, made fun of Huang Xuan a few words, and then sent them out of the house with a blessing, but he wrote down their names one by one.
Zhu Ping'an knew that these people would definitely be useful in the future.
However, at this time, they can't get too close to them, and it is extremely taboo for all dynasties and dynasties to make friends with ministers. Zhu Ping'an himself is not afraid, but he is afraid that there will be extraneous branches, and there will be some trouble for those officials.
