Although Xia Honghan told this story a little vaguely, and some of the places were obviously vague or even untrue, Xiao Jing still learned the secret of the year through his narration.

If it weren't for that palace change, Xia Honghan would be the uncle of the country now. The powerful Xia family was originally feared by the emperor, and now the emperor Chen Borui took the throne of his prince and brother before he reigned in the world.

The reason why the Xia family has been low-key with their tails between their legs in the past twenty years is the main reason!

Now, the time has finally come for a shuffle.

The change of the emperor is just around the corner, and even Xia Honghan, who usually only keeps a face at home, can't help but occasionally show excitement in front of his family, not to mention the various forces on the surface and underwater.

It's just that Lord Yuezhang never told Xiao Jingxia which one the treasure was pressed on—or which princes.

Although Xia Honghan had mentioned asking the mirror newspaper to help pave the way for his favored prince, he hadn't opened this mouth until now, I don't know if he had other plans or didn't want to tell his uncle the core secrets of the family too early.

It doesn't matter if you don't say it, others just end up idle, and Xiao Jing can continue to maintain the neutral position of the mirror newspaper.

So, Xia Honghan, who had grown gray hair on his head after hard work, was busy running around all day long, but Xiao Jing leisurely lived a beautiful life with Xia Hanxue and Qin Ziqian, and even went to the newspaper less often, completely putting on a posture of not asking about the world.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. A few days later, a father-in-law who passed the decree suddenly came to the palace, naming Xiao Jing to enter the palace to face the saint.

What's the situation?

Xiao Jing was a little stunned - although he had just been promoted a few days ago and had an idle post from the sixth grade, such a petty official could throw a stone at the boundary of the capital and hit one, why did the emperor call himself over at this juncture?

Although things were a little strange, he had no choice but to follow the visitor into the palace.

The meeting place is a side hall.

Chen Borui leaned on the royal couch on the cushion, and the person standing beside him was Song Qian, who had not changed for thousands of years.

"Weichen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Xiao Jing kept a saluting posture, but it took him a long time before he heard the expected response:

"Flatten. Bestow the seat. ”

Although he couldn't raise his head, just listening to this weak voice, Xiao Jing could imagine what Chen Borui's face like gold paper looked like.

A small yellow door brought a chair, and Xiao Jing sat down after thanking him. Soon someone opened up again, but this time it was Song Qian, not Chen Borui.

"Your Majesty has a will for you, and it is written what you want to do, you can take it and see it." Song Qian held the silk silk in his hand and said solemnly: "This matter is important, you must do it with your heart, you know?" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Huangmen took the silk silk from his hand and sent it to Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was also very curious about what errand the emperor had given; After getting the silk silk, he read the words on it carefully, trying to find the answer.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Jing lifted the silk silk above his head. His expression was as usual, and he said, "Weichen is very frightened...... Please forgive the ministers for being difficult to obey. ”

"Okay, you Xiao Jing, do you want to resist the decree?"

Song Qian, who was full of anger, stepped forward and scolded: "This is Your Majesty's will, as a courtier, you actually push back and obstruct, do you still have a saint in your heart?" But there is still the imperial court? ”

Xiao Jing's face did not change, and he said calmly in the direction where Chen Borui was: "Your Majesty, although Weichen was born in poverty, he was born and died for Da Rui several times, and this piece of loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon. Today, Weichen really can't accept the order, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins. ”

Song Qian sneered: "Our family has never seen such a brazen person as you, who can even resist the decree so justifiably...... Your Majesty, Xiao Jing is really bold, please punish Your Majesty! ”

On the other side, Chen Borui on the couch sat up slightly straighter. His sharp eyes were constantly looking at Xiao Jing, as if he wanted to see how sincere the other party's words were.

"I've seen what you've done every day." Because of the lack of breath, Chen Borui spoke in a low voice: "I can not pursue the matter of your disobedience to the order, but you have to make it clear, why can't you accept the order?" ”

Although his life will come to an end in the near future, and although he is so weak that he is almost speechless, Xiao Jing has been under greater pressure in terms of momentum than the last time they met.

If he hadn't experienced the sea of corpses and blood, Chen Borui's murderous aura at this time would have made him tremble.

When the emperor is about to die, he has to deal with the aftermath. Even if Chen Borui has been a "benevolent gentleman" for a lifetime, according to common sense, this should be the time when he is the most unscrupulous and reckless!

Although Xiao Jing doesn't think that he is worried about his life, if he doesn't deal with it properly, it will definitely cause serious consequences!

"Back to Your Majesty, the reason for Weichen is actually easy to explain." Xiao Jing's face was worried, and he said earnestly: "Master Yuezhang often teaches Weichen: You must do your own business well, and don't easily meddle in other people's family affairs. His Majesty's will should be carried out by the ministers, not to mention a small mirror report, that is, the ministers will send His Majesty's intentions throughout the country, and the ministers will do their best to live up to the trust.

It's just that if you're going to post about a family affair...... Then with all due respect, newspapers are not a good place to do these things. Your Majesty can tell the world in the newspaper, but the Mirror is just a small newspaper, and it really can't bear this heavy burden, so please let Your Majesty know it. ”

"Oh? Do you really think so? ”

Chen Borui's deep face smiled slightly, and his tense body relaxed a little.

"Weichen doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, it's true." Xiao Jing said with some shame: "Weichen has this official position, and he still owes the blessing of his father-in-law...... If this were not the case, a person like Chen, who was used to being idle, would rather live in vain all his life and make a living by writing and selling newspapers, rather than set foot in the court. ”

"It's gibberish again." Song Qian said in a deep voice: "The official position is the grace of the imperial court, since you have been awarded the official position, you have to think about repaying the emperor's favor and serving the court, how can you say that you would rather be white when you face the monarch?" Is this Da Rui's official robe not worthy of you? ”

"Alright." Chen Borui, who was lying down, coughed lightly and said, "What you said also makes some sense, so I won't embarrass you." Let's go down. ”

Xiao Jing saluted and slowly retreated, and when he arrived at the door, he just turned around to leave, when Chen Borui's barely raised voice suddenly floated from behind him:

"I remember your words today." The voice sounded a little unsupportable, but he tried to keep it sounding: "You have to remember it yourself." “

Xiao Jing turned around and saluted again, and solemnly responded.

When he walked out of the side hall, a cold wind happened to blow, and he felt that the placket of his back was soaked with sweat.

This seemingly calm temptation is actually dangerous!
