Chapter 638: Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve
Xiao Yan can only write, it seems that there is no other great use, he can't hold a knife in his hand and kill the Quartet, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and the fame of his writing is enough to help Xiao Rui do a big thing.
And for Xiao Yan, being able to help his seventh brother is something he has been fascinated for a long time, so that he can extort more silver, and he will never be troubled by his fierce wife at home again. When I thought that I was a prince, I only had ten taels of silver on my body, and if I spent it, I would have to be asked where to go when I got home.
Only now do I understand the dangers of getting married, regret not being at the beginning, and how comfortable it is to be a carefree wild horse.
"Brother Seven, what do you mean, what kind of subject matter, what should I do?" Xiao Yan asked.
Xiao Rui smiled: "The subject matter of solving the case, the investigation of the murder case, how about this?" ”
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded and asked, "Solve the case?" I can write it, I can write it, I'm afraid that it will become a myth when I write it, Brother Seven, you know, I'm good at themes like "Journey to the West", and I was full of excitement when I created it, wow... Female goblin, let you taste the power of the golden hoop stick! ”
"One hundred taels!" Xiao Rui stretched out a finger.
Xiao Yan stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Seventh brother, are you humiliating me? The younger brother is a prince anyway, and the pen fee is at least two hundred taels! ”
Xiao Rui sighed with emotion, what a poor child, thinking about how generous he was when he was still a down-and-out prince and not yet crowned king, and now he is so diligent and thrifty by two daughters-in-law who like to train. Although they are all called Xiao Yan, they have the same name and surname, but they don't have the same fate.
"One thousand taels, write it in two months! It's good to write plus money! Xiao Rui said.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed and said, "No problem!"
But then, Xiao Yan scratched his head: "Seventh brother, I can write, but I don't have ideas!" ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "I have already found you a good assistant, Song Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, he recently compiled a book of "Collection of Grievances", which is of great significance, if it can be promoted to the world, it can reduce unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the ability of officials to solve cases will also be improved." So I want to borrow your reputation to write a book on the theme of solving crimes, and mention "Clearing Grievances" a lot in the article, remember, the protagonist is an excellent god catcher, and I want to write him as a very powerful character, shape him into a national idol, and let young teenagers target him! ”
Culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since ancient times, so Xiao Rui had the idea this time. The Criminal Investigation College cultivates talents, but it can't be promoted if its reputation can't be promoted. With Xiao Yan, a ready-made master, using it, the effect is not inferior to that of the imperial court.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he was immediately full of confidence and said, "Seventh brother, don't worry, this is a good thing for the benefit of the people, I will definitely write it well." ”
"Good! I'm waiting for your masterpiece! Xiao Rui smiled and nodded.
Before you know it, it's lunchtime.
Xiao Rui left Xiao Yan to dine together, and during the meal, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Seventh brother, is the third brother coming to you?" ”
"No! What's wrong? Xiao Rui asked.
Xiao Yan said: "My father has been in Yingzhou for a few months, and we all miss it very much. The third brother likes to walk around and browse the scenery, so he wants to take the child to live in Yingzhou for a period of time, and he can also fulfill his filial piety! ”
Speaking of Emperor Xia, Xiao Rui also missed him very much in his heart.
"I will naturally agree to his request, this is filial piety, it is a good thing." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
After the New Year, he was going to Anbei and Anxi to have a look, and he originally planned to go north by land, but now that he was reminded by Xiao Yanyi, Xiao Rui felt that it was better to take the waterway and go to Yingzhou to have a look. As the emperor of Great Xia, he can't fulfill his filial piety, but if he doesn't even go to see it, what kind of son is he?
At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Rui's contemplative expression and immediately asked, "Seventh brother, are you going to Yingzhou?" ”
"No, no." Xiao Rui subconsciously replied, and then glared: "What are you talking nonsense, I have to sit in the palace, and the state affairs are busy, how can I run around!" Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and I also feel deeply guilty. ”
Xiao Yan sneered: "I believe you are a ghost, Seventh Brother, there are three people in this world who know you best, the first is naturally my father, the second is Mr. Jia, and the third is naturally me, I can guess what you want to do with your ass!" ”
Xiao Rui glanced at him, but his words were right, his father and Jia Xu knew him best, but the third person was not Xiao Yan at all.
"Eat well, and go back to the palace as soon as you finish eating! Otherwise, I will send someone to invite the two princesses! Xiao Rui threatened.
Xiao Yan was not afraid at all, and said, "Seventh brother, can I go to Yingzhou with you?" ”
Xiao Rui ignored him and continued to eat.
"Seventh brother, it seems that you don't know how difficult your brother is! Although the lunch at the palace is a little colder, there are many varieties and rich dishes. The younger brother doesn't want to have a comfortable meal at home, it is better to enter the palace every day to disturb the seventh brother. Xiao Yan threatened.
Xiao Rui sneered: "Can you enter the palace and talk about it!" ”
Xiao Yan played a scoundrel and said, "Seventh brother, my brother is afraid of being embarrassed!" Your 1,000 taels of silver don't want your subordinates anymore, and your subordinates don't write books anymore, and they have sealed their pens! ”
Xiao Rui put down his chopsticks and was quite speechless about this guy, Prince Hehe is already at the age of a weak crown, how can he play a temper like a child.
"I can write this book before the end of the year, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed, I can consider it!" Xiao Rui was speechless for him, so he made a concession.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed, and immediately ran away, shouting, "Brother Chen, go write!"
Xiao Rui's ears were finally cleared.
At the end of the lunch, Xiao Rui said to Wang Dazhi: "Call Wei Zhongxian!" ”
Wang Da directly ordered to summon Wei Zhongxian.
Now Wei Zhongxian has achieved the palm print of the East Factory, handed over the East Factory to him, and has become a knife hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials, Xiao Rui can make good use of this knife to kill some people who should be killed, and Wei Zhongxian absorbs hatred for himself and stays out of the matter, how comfortable it is.
didn't wait long, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly entered the palace to pay respects: "Slave maid Wei Zhongxian knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Body Jin'an!" ”
Xiao Rui said: "Get up, summon you into the palace, there is something I want to ask you, since I ascended the throne, what have several princes been busy with?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the prince of Jin fell in love with listening to music and raised a lot of thin waists in the mansion. With Yang Feiyuan's Zhishi, the prince of Jin became more and more indifferent to the princess of Jin, but he seemed to be afraid of His Majesty and had no follow-up actions. And the prince of Jin is also surrounded by people who have a beard and a horse, and he has no contact with the court officials. ”
Xiao Rui was stunned and wondered: "What's the matter with Guan Zhen!" ”
Wei Zhongxian opened his mouth, but he was stunned by Xiao Rui's words. The princesses of Chu have all entered the harem, and it is rumored that His Majesty and the princess of Jin are also related, so the king of Jin naturally does not dare to mess around.
"Slaves should be damned!" Wei Zhongxian could only honestly kneel and beg for mercy.
Xiao Rui was a little annoyed, he and Princess Jin were absolutely innocent, and they hadn't even touched their hands! Well, I had touched her once before, but Xiao Rui had forgotten the warm touch of her jade hands.
"What about the others?" Xiao Rui continued to ask.
Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness King Wu is still intoxicated by the scenery, and often takes his concubine out to play. ”
"His Royal Highness King Ming is obsessed with drinking, built a wine cellar by himself, and began to make his own wine!"
"His Royal Highness King Jing basically stays in the house because of his inconvenient legs and feet, reading books and playing the piano to cultivate his sentiments, it seems that because of this, his personality has become better, and he is no longer as irritable as before."
"The last is His Royal Highness the King of Tang, who mainly writes, and usually fights wits and courage with the two princesses."
...
After Wei Zhongxian briefly explained the situation of several princes, he explained them in detail one by one. Since Xiao Rui sat on the throne, these people seem to have accepted their fate, and they don't dare to have anything to do with the ministers, but to be a free prince.
For Xiao Rui, his dream was to be a carefree prince, but unfortunately he was forced to become an emperor by the system.
Sometimes Xiao Rui wants to say to his brothers that he doesn't want to be an emperor! I don't know if they want to hit themselves.
And the reason why Xiao Rui let Wei Zhongxian stare at several princes is naturally prepared, although Xiao Rui's throne is very solid, it is difficult to ensure that none of the brothers will still remember it. Send someone to keep an eye on it, it's okay to knock and knock, let them be honest and be a free prince.
"I know, let people keep staring. In addition, find out who slandered the relationship between me and Princess Jin, and if you can find out, you will be severely punished. Xiao Rui commanded.
Wei Zhongxian responded, and then respectfully retreated.
Two more days passed.
The purpose of Xiao Ze, the king of Wu, entering the palace was naturally to implore Xiao Rui to allow him to leave Beijing to visit his father in Yingzhou and live there temporarily.
Xiao Rui agreed with a smile, with his children and grandchildren by his side to pay respect, Emperor Xia's old age is complete and happy.
For this reason, Xiao Rui also rewarded Xiao Ze, the king of Wu, and praised him for his filial piety, but he was very ashamed of his filial piety. At the same time, I asked him about the time of departure, and coincidentally, he also chose to set off after the New Year. However, Xiao Rui did not mention that he also had plans to go to Yingzhou, although Xiao Yan jumped out, he would still keep his mouth shut.
Hearing Xiao Rui's praise, Xiao Ze looked ashamed and said: "Brother Chen is deeply ashamed, Your Majesty is also a national politician, and Brother Chen has only been reminded that he has thought of filial piety, and he is already very ashamed." ”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Rui showed curiosity and asked, "Third brother, who reminded you?" ”
Among the eight brothers, Xiao Rui has always believed that Xiao Ze's strategy and quality are the best, although Xiao Feng is very deep in the city, he has been cultivated since childhood, Xiao Ze is a real smart person, and he is also filial piety.
Xiao Ze sighed and said: "Last time the eighth brother came to me for a drink, he accidentally mentioned his father, he had inconvenient legs and feet, and he almost drowned when he fell into the water when he was young, so he was afraid of water, otherwise, he would also want to go to Yingzhou." After listening to the words of the eighth brother, I felt ashamed, and during this time I was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and forgot to do my filial piety. ”
"You were reminded by the eighth brother?" Xiao Rui was a little surprised.
Last time, Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia pretended to be dead, Xiao Jing, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Feng quarreled in order to compete for the throne, but they were red-faced, and they were not a little sad at that time, and they didn't care about his father's death, how deep was his filial piety?
Xiao Ze smiled: "I didn't intend to mention it... Eighth brother, his personality used to be very irritable, but since he was lame, he has seen a lot of things, and his character has also improved! ”
Xiao Rui nodded, he already knew the situation from Wei Zhongxian, so he didn't care.
