Thinking about it left and right, he didn't think of which palace servant and concubine he had offended, and he would have the conditions to hear about this kind of thing that was still secret to him. He has only seen Mrs. Zheng twice, and he hasn't said a few words, so he won't be noticed.

"Yes...... Yes! ”

The emperor looked at the second son who was looking down at the ground, and said: "It is common sense that a young man has the heart of "Guan Ju", but you are still young now, you should concentrate on studying poetry and books, and understand the way of a sage. Don't be distracted by external affairs. It is up to the Father to decide for you. ”

Seeing that the emperor obviously misunderstood him, he asked himself that things had obviously not reached that level! However, the emperor no longer meant to question him, and after thinking about it, he pressed the idea of saying a few more words, and nodded yes.

Seeing that Tuoba had a good attitude, the emperor also nodded, no longer deeply responsible, but reached out and pulled out the paper on the case, took a pen and smeared the words "Feng" and "Cao" on it.

Tuoba cautiously watched the emperor's smearing movements, and felt embarrassed in his heart, the emperor didn't think he had a mother-love complex, right? According to later research, the emperor may have a mother-lover complex.

After the emperor finished smearing the words "Feng" and "Cao", he put down his pen, looked at Tuoba Shen, and said: "The book of "Shishuo" records the anecdotes of predecessors, and it is quite instructive to read. As for "Sou Shen Ji", what is said is false and extravagant, and it is not enough to be trusted. You are young, and you are easily confused by these strange things, and it takes time to read them. ”

Tuoba Shen claims to have adult thoughts, and of course he will not really believe in the absurd theories of "Sou Shen Ji". However, he did not dare to refute the emperor's teachings, so he had to only claim to be true.

。。。。。。。。

Besides, Tuoba and Tuoba Ke were notified by Zhang Mao outside the side hall, and the emperor temporarily did not allow them to enter, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart. However, after getting a box of cheese, the two brothers happily took the cheese and left, finding a decliner to dispose of.

Tuoba Ke didn't want to go back to the palace, so he happily went back to Qifeng Pavilion with his share of cheese, ready to give some cheese to his younger brother Tuoba Huai, as for the little sister, she was only more than a year old, and she couldn't eat this kind of thing, so she could only be done by her brother.

Tuoba wanted to leave, but he had just been instructed by his uncle to go to him to reply, and now that he could not get in, he had to make it clear. Looking at the cheese in his hand, it was not good to bring it in, so he had to gobble it up, then wipe the crumbs of his hands on his clothes, and walked towards the apse.

Although Feng Dan was still eating, his mind was not on food, and even some people persuaded him to drink a few glasses in a hurry, and he was not in his mind when he spoke, and others saw that he was absent-minded, so he had to find someone else to drink. After Feng Dan sat down, his eyes looked at the screen from the apse to the side hall from time to time, and he counted the time in his heart. Unexpectedly, he had just eaten a little half-full here, and then he saw Tuoba Sui appear at the next door.

Feng Dan didn't care about eating, and what he was going to say later was not suitable for saying here, so he put down the wine and pulled his shirt to leave his seat. Rushing towards the place where Tuoba is located.

Li Chong, Zheng Xi and Xianyang Wang and many others watched this scene, but no one bothered Feng Dan. Everyone present knew that after the death of the Queen Mother, the Feng family extended the Feng family's long-term wealth and wealth to the emperor's eldest son. Therefore, it is not surprising to see this scene.

Feng Dan walked in front of Tuoba Sui, and he didn't care about being polite, pulled Tuoba Sui out of the apse, found a corner in a remote place, and asked: "Why did Your Highness come back in such a hurry, didn't Uncle tell Your Highness, it's best to accompany His Second Highness more?" ”

Tuoba lowered his head, did not dare to raise his head, and said, "Father...... My father said that the second brother was already much better, so he didn't need me and the third brother to go in, and gave me and the third brother a box of cheese to eat. ”

Feng Dan fell into deep thought after listening to the first half of what Tuoba said. Brother and brother Emperor Gong often talk about it, and he himself does it, why did he stop the eldest prince from entering today?

。。。。。。。。

Tuoba Shen stayed with the emperor for almost an hour, and when he saw that the banquet was almost at the end, he bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Qingxiao Courtyard, and the emperor also gave him a box of cheese to take back.

Not long after Tuoba Shen walked to the Taihe Palace, a bell rang in the Taihe Palace, and the banquet was over.

Of course, these courtiers can't say that they will go back to their homes after the banquet, they have to go to worship the emperor again.

King Xianyang, as the acting host today, should go to the side hall to find the emperor first, announce the end of the banquet, and invite the emperor to come out to speak.

"Your Majesty, do you want to move the apse and teach the ministers?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said: "The prince of Xuanzhu is in the court, the chief officer of the provinces, ministries and Cao Jian and the general of Zhuzheng Town can come here, and the rest of the ministers are dismissed!" ”

"Yes!" King Xianyang received the emperor's will, and was about to turn around, when he remembered one thing, and said, "Your Majesty! Is Li Yuankai detained? ”

The emperor's face flashed with annoyance, turned around, and said, "What crime will Qing detain him?" ”

"This ...... Li Yuankai deceived the monarch and committed driving, and the crime should be beheaded, and it is justified to detain him now. ”

"I'm afraid that this sin will not be convincing to the public! If Li Yuankai is detained and killed in this way, I will have the name of being a traitor, and Li Yuankai will have the same name as Guan Longfeng and Bigan, and the ministers at home and abroad will ridicule him for this, and the historical books will be ridiculed for thousands of years. ”

"Moreover, although Li Yuankai's words are angry, they are also caused by my negligence. He just said what others didn't dare to say. The royal brother can leave him alone, and I can take responsibility for it alone. ”

Not long after, all the ministers who were allowed to see His Majesty were gathered outside the side hall, and Zhang Mao waited for the emperor to sit upright before announcing that the ministers would enter the palace to see His Majesty.

"Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! ”

"Rise up, all of you."

Feng Dan was arranged behind the king of Zong, and the king with a different surname was also in the middle, and after saluting among the kings, he turned his head to look around, he wondered if the second prince was still here, looked at it a few times, but didn't see it, and paid attention to the tents all around, and didn't see any movement.

Of course, the emperor saw his movements, and he didn't understand what Feng Dan was looking around, there were many people here, and it was inconvenient for him to ask. He stood up and looked at the ministers, and said: "Zhuqing, I have been in the Zen position of the first monarch for 19 years now, and fortunately the Empress Dowager has been taught and nurtured, and Zhuqing has done his best to protect the society." Once the Queen Mother abandons the people, she will be extinct. I don't know what to do. Qing waited for a long time to serve the Empress Dowager, received the Empress Dowager's great grace, the Empress Dowager returned, I bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager held my arm with her hand, paid me with the ministers, pointed to the ministers, and paid the ministers with me. In the future, my monarchs and ministers should be of one heart and one heart, and the emperor will be prosperous! Report to the ancestors and comfort the queen mother. ”

。。。。。。。。

After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers also thanked His Majesty, and then went out of the side hall in order, either in a group or alone, and walked towards Sixian Gate.

Li Chong and Zheng Xi walked together, chatting about what they saw in the hall today, and the two had just walked out of the apse not far away, when they were stopped by a little eunuch.

"Secretary Zheng, please stay for a while."

"What's the matter? But Your Majesty has something to summon? Zheng Xi recognized this little eunuch who often served by Zhang Mao's side and often ran errands for Zhang Mao.

"Exactly, please also ask Secretary Zheng to go quickly. Don't let Your Majesty wait in a hurry. ”

Zheng Xi was puzzled in his heart, the emperor didn't leave him just now, why did he come out and call him back. I didn't dare to delay, so I could only leave Li Chong and rush towards the side hall.

When I arrived outside the hall, I saw Zhang Mao already waiting outside the door.

"Gong Zheng hurry up and go in, Your Majesty has an order, there is no need to announce it."

Zheng Xi thanked Zhang Mao and entered the side hall.

Zhang Mao looked at Zheng Xi's back, and wondered in his heart, the emperor usually doesn't deliberately avoid him, why did he deliberately ask him to wait outside today. In the past, it was the intention of the Queen Mother to transfer Zheng Xi back to Beijing to serve as the secretary and supervisor, and although the secretary and supervisor were in a high position, their power was not heavy. The emperor has never been very important to Zheng Xi, why did he announce it to him alone today?

Zheng Xi entered the side hall and saw a piece of paper in front of the emperor, what was written on it, and he couldn't see what it was because of his old age. He only glanced at it in a hurry, and then knelt down and bowed.

After the ceremony, the emperor blamed the short table on the side and asked Zheng Xi to sit down, looked at Zheng Xi and said, "How long does Zheng Qing live this year?" ”

"The minister is seven out of fifty years old." After Zheng Xi thanked him, he sat down slightly and carefully answered the emperor's question.

"Qing can be said to be old, how many children do you have?"

"In addition to Concubine Zheng, there are still four sons and two daughters."

"Qing is really a man of many sons and many blessings!"

"The ministers are young and young, and everyone despises the ministers, so he married the Li family at the age of nearly thirty, and he can get all the children, and the ministers are also content." Zheng Xi frowned and replied.

He still doesn't understand what the emperor is doing when he asks these ordinary women what they can say, so he can only answer what the emperor asks.

The Emperor also found that his words were a bit inconsistent with his identity.

Just go straight to the point.

"I heard that the second prince once met Zheng Qing in private."

Zheng Xi was taken aback by the emperor's words, the word "privately" is not a good word, especially when it was said by the emperor.

Could it be that Your Majesty suspects that the second prince is colluding with me?

"Yes, the Second Highness once came to the place where the ministers lived when the Queen Mother was fasting, and the ministers were not in the house, and the courtiers were Shangshulang Zheng Yi to receive the Second Highness."

Zheng Xi felt that the emperor's meaning was unclear now, and he didn't have anything to do with the second prince now, so there was nothing bad to say. It's better to speak bluntly first and see what the emperor means.

"Why did the second prince go to Qing's place?"

Zheng Xi originally thought that the emperor knew everything? It turns out that this is not the case. He immediately explained in detail the front and back of Tuoba Shen's visit to him.

When the emperor heard this, he was also surprised, it turned out to be such a small feeling, and it was interesting to think about it.

"How many daughters does Qingzi have?"

"Zheng Yi has five daughters, and he is the fourth daughter of the courtier."

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "Interesting stories about children, how can I talk about collisions." ”

He stroked the paper with his hand, and then said, "What is the grandson of Qing this year?" ”

"Fourteen years old".

"My son is eleven years old today" paused and said: "Concubine Zheng lives alone in the palace, and her grandson can come to visit the palace in her spare time to relieve Concubine Zheng's thoughts." ”

Zheng Xi understood what the emperor meant, it turned out that he wanted to give his fourth granddaughter to the second prince, although he didn't say it explicitly, but this is also the limit of what the emperor can say, which is almost the same as saying it in person. I was also faintly happy in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, at least in a few years, the Zheng family can take over another royal family.

Looking at Zheng Xi, who was a little pensive in front of him, the emperor also smiled bitterly in his heart. It is said that this kind of thing should not be said by him as the king of a country, at most he can directly decree marriage, and there is no need to say so many women's words. It's just that today I felt the filial piety of my second son to him, and remembered that he lost his mother in his early years and had little love, so he decided to break the etiquette and find Zheng Xiyi to say.

I don't know if it's right or not.

The Emperor thought to himself.
