Wen Xiang has laid the groundwork so much, just for the next thing to propose, Xu Shen should not stop it, let alone be angry.

Seriously, she was quite afraid that Xu Shen would be angry.

So when she heard Xu Shen's words, Wen Xiang felt like she had obtained Shang Fang's sword, and she immediately put her mind at ease, and she was greatly relieved, and that appearance made Xu Shen hook her lips.

"I met Princess Qing today, I think she is very good, but she is too pitiful." Wen Xiang used this as the opening remark: "You don't know that there is a mother Yu in their palace, she is a slave and a bully, and she simply regards Qingwangfu as her own territory, and Princess Qing is bullied instead." As soon as I heard it, how could I hold back my temper? So I ......"

Her originally indignant look became cautious after seeing Xu Shen's suddenly sinking face.

"And then what happened to you?" Xu Shen couldn't help but sigh when he saw her uneasy.

Xiangxiang will never see such a vivid and agile expression on his face, but Xiangxiang will never cause trouble for him.

Qingwangfu, Qingwang, that's the Queen Mother's faction!

Xu Shen felt a little headache.

Suddenly I couldn't tell if it was right or wrong to get her out and live here?

"As soon as I became popular, I promised Princess Qing that I would go to King Qing's Mansion to help her clean up Diao slaves." Wen Xiang hung her head, and whispered while secretly looking at Xu Shen's face. At the end, he said, "Brother, am I too impulsive?" ”

She thought she was smart and hid Song Nanzhou without mentioning it, only saying that it was something she took down on her own impulse.

Because her intuition told her that if she told Xu Shen the truth about this matter, he would definitely be angry again.

"If I refuse to let you go, you will be obedient and not go to Qingwangfu?" Xu Shen asked her.

Wen Xiang wrung her fingers: "But it's not good to lose faith in others." ”

Seeing that Xu Shen didn't refuse directly, she knew that she could probably persuade him, so she coquettishly grinded him and said: "Isn't there a saying that if a person has no faith, he will not stand?" My brother is a well-known Lord Xu Xiang, if I don't keep my word, won't you also be criticized? How bad are you? Don't worry, even if I go to Qingwangfu, I will definitely not cause you trouble, and when I solve that Diao slave, I will leave Qingwangfu immediately! ”

She swore and swore that she looked at Xu Shen expectantly with sparkling eyes.

Xu Shen looked at these eyes and couldn't help but think that if he opened his mouth to refuse, these eyes would immediately become gloomy.

He wanted to tell her very much that now that the situation was unclear and the situation was tense, she went to King Qing's mansion, and others were afraid that this was from his instructions, but I was afraid that even Emperor Jing would think that he was on King Qing's side, and it was never a good thing to cause Emperor Jing to suspect him......

But these words, under the gaze of her bright and clear eyes, could not say a word.

"The situation in King Qing's Mansion is not as simple as you think." Xu Shen tried to convince her: "This seems to be just a problem of Diao Nu, but in fact, why Diao Nu can become so big, in addition to Princess Qing's too cowardly temperament, it is also related to the master family behind her." Do you know who the master of the Diao slave is? ”

"Qu family." Wen Xiang said that she had heard of it: "I heard that it is the maiden family of Princess Qing in front of me." Brother, is it so powerful that even you have to be afraid of it? ”

She asked curiously with those big eyes open.

She originally thought that if the Qu family dared to bully her, she would use Xu Xiang's power to suppress people.

If the Qu family is not even afraid of Xu Xiang, it will be a bit tricky.

Fortunately, Xu Shen's answer did not disappoint her, and Xu Shen, who was staring at Wen Xiang so eagerly, couldn't help but swell a little and flutter a little.

He took a sip of water, with a faint look of contempt, "Although the Qu family is a century-old family, it is just that the family has not been good at management over the years, and the Qu family has been in decline." Finally, a daughter married into King Qing's mansion, pointing to King Qing to bring the Qu family with him again, but he didn't want to get sick again. ”

"I don't believe that King Qing doesn't know anything about what the Qu family's Diao slave did in the palace, I want to know why King Qing is so tolerant of the Qu family's behavior of sticking his hand into the palace?" If there was no Qu family to support Mother Yu, how could Mother Yu dare to suppress Princess Qing so badly with Mother Yu's minion?

Xu Shen couldn't help but nod approvingly, her sharpness in looking at things was beyond his expectations.

"First, the Qu family is very respectful to King Qing, very good, ordinary shh Even if the Qu family has passed away for many years, the Qu family's attitude towards King Qing is still as affectionate and natural as a relative. ”

Wen Xiang nodded thoughtfully: "King Qing was born in the royal family, where has he enjoyed such a plain and simple family feeling." The family affection and warmth he got from the Qu family, I am afraid that he knows that the hand of the Qu family has reached into his inner courtyard, but he just doesn't know it. ”

can live peacefully, can often be entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, often go on a business trip to make a meritorious service or something, where can he be a stupid person?

Xu Shen looked at Wen Xiang and was silent for a while before continuing: "Second, Qu's death may also have something to do with King Qing. Qu's body is weak, and after giving birth to Song Xuan, she has never been able to get pregnant again. I don't want to think that when Song Xuan was three years old, Qu's stomach finally had news again. It's just that at that time, King Qing received an errand outside, and Princess Qing heard that King Qing was about to return to Beijing, so she led people to Wanggui Pavilion ten miles outside the city to welcome King Qing. Who knew that the carriage and horses were too bumpy, and Princess Qing not only failed to keep the child, but also lost her body after the miscarriage. After only a month, the people were gone. Thinking about coming to King Qing, he also had a sense of indebtedness to the Qu family, so after the Qu family went, the servants of the Qu family who brought over were all left in Song Xuan's courtyard. ”

Wen Xiang slapped her thigh suddenly: "Is this King Qing stupid?" ”

Xu Shen: "...... How so? ”

"Naqu's knew that he was pregnant, and he had to run to pick up King Qing with a bumpy ride, which was obviously irresponsible to himself and the fetus in his womb! Did King Qing ever ask the Qu clan to pick it up? Not at all! I said a ruthless word, this is simply Qu's own death! This is good, she tossed herself to death, and left the impression that Qu treated him with deep affection to King Qing - if it wasn't for her love for King Chongqing, how could Qu toss herself like that? Brother, do you think so too? ”

What kind of affection is meaningful, then Qu's is simply willful and ignorant! Knowing that his body was weak, he finally got pregnant, he didn't know how to give birth to maintenance, and he was bumpy in cars...... Could it be that she feels that she is a lucky person favored by God, and she will not be able to turn things upside down casually?

Wen Xiang is really angry!

Qu's death is dead, but because she made the current Princess Qing so embarrassed, it would be very unusual!

And King Naqing, since he has a deep affection for the Qu family and a deep apology, it is better to apologize alone and atone for his sins alone! Why did you go to Jiuli Mountain to ask to marry Princess Qing, and marry someone else and put people in this embarrassing situation - what kind of thing?

It's light to say he's stupid!

Her insights are incisive and sharp, and she points out the key points to the point.

"The authorities are obsessed." Xu Shen said slowly, "In short, the water in Qingwangfu is very deep, I'm afraid you ......."

Xu Shen couldn't say it anymore, this woman is bold, smart, and sharp, even if she goes to Qingwangfu, it will not be her who will suffer.

Wen Xiang really laughed confidently, and wrinkled her little nose mischievously: "Brother, you can't grow others' ambitions." You should worry about the people in Qingwangfu, if I go, they should be jumping hahaha! ”

Her arrogant appearance is not annoying at all.

Xu Shen couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, now that you've decided, I don't think I can stop you." He had no choice but to take a step back: "But my only request to you is to take care of yourself and never get hurt!" ”

Wen Xiang nodded like pounding garlic, and almost jumped up and shouted "YesSir", but fortunately, reason grabbed her in time.

"So, let's talk about Song Shizi next." Xu Shen said slowly when her excited little face was red.

Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Weiyu.

Weiyu stood aside, looking at her nose and nose, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Xu Shen naturally noticed Wen Xiang's actions and followed her line of sight. Immediately, his eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought that Wen Xiang didn't want the maid to hear them talking about foreign men in front of him, so he said, "You go down first." ”

Weiyu responded respectfully, bowed her head and retreated.

Wen Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Shen wanted to talk to her about Song Nanzhou, and he would never say good things about Song Nanzhou. Weiyu is a person from Song Nanzhou, and he will definitely tell Song Nanzhou about their conversation - thinking about it this way, it seems that it is still a bit of a mistake to keep Weiyu by his side.

"What does my brother want to talk about him?" Wen Xiang pretended to be calm and asked generously.

Xu Shen paid close attention to her expression, and saw that she was downright and generous, without a trace of shyness or nervousness, and was inexplicably relieved.

As if the boulder in his heart was moved away, he smiled slightly: "When I met King Jin when I went down to the court, he told me that Song Nanzhou had entered this courtyard as if he had entered no man's land. Have you met him? ”

There is nothing to hide, Wen Xiang nodded: "He came to ask about Princess Qing, it turned out that Princess Qing was his senior sister." But I didn't like him and drove him away. ”

She didn't mention the fact that she was almost strangled to death by Song Nanzhou, what was the use of mentioning it, it was just to increase Xu Shen's troubles - Xu Shen was in a high position, and Song Nanzhou was also a relative of the emperor, and the two of them fought together, and it was not good to say who lost and who won.

What's more, this is her own business, and her grievances with Song Nanzhou will be resolved by herself, and she can't cause trouble to Xu Shen.

Xu Shen paused, as if assessing the authenticity of Wen Xiang's words.

However, seeing that Wen Xiang didn't care about it, and the whole person looked dignified, he nodded: "I will send more people......"

"No need." Wen Xiang hurriedly interrupted him: "I heard that his kung fu is very powerful, if he has to come, you can't prevent it." ”

Xu Shen thought about it, and it was the same thing. But he still sank his face, "I'll have a good talk with Song Shizi!" ”

He Song Nanzhou is not a person without handles, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, then don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless.

Wen Xiang's heart warmed.

Although she had already made a decision and carried her own affairs, the feeling of having someone to help her still made her eyes red for a moment.

Afraid that Xu Shen would see it, she hurriedly smiled at him: "Thank you, brother." ”

……

Xu Shen left Liyuan Road and did not go directly to Wuxiang Camp.

On that day, he recommended Song Nanzhou in front of Emperor Jing to take over the Wuxiang camp, if he had a close relationship with Song Nanzhou, Emperor Jing would not be happy to see it.

After thinking about it, Xu Shen ordered the carriage to go back to Xu's mansion directly.

As soon as he entered the house, there were maids in the courtyard of the old lady Xu waiting at the wall, "The old lady told the slave and maid to wait for the master here, and asked the master to come back and go to the old lady's yard immediately." ”

Xu Shen's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, and said lightly: "The old lady has something important?" If I am not in a hurry, I still have some official documents here, which I will send to His Majesty's case immediately. ”

The little maid had no choice but to go back and tell Mrs. Xu Shen what she said, but Mrs. Xu was angry, but she didn't dare to really ask Xu Shen to ignore government affairs and come to listen to her.

Xu Shen took the official document on the desk and hurried into the palace.

As soon as the carriage left Xu's mansion, it was stopped.

"Xu Shen, you come down for me!" The man shouted with his tongue open.

"Xiangye, it's my little uncle." The coachman recognized the drunken young man.

Xu Shen teased his eyelids, "Uncle Xiao has drunk too much, find a few people to send him back to Liu's mansion." ”

The coachman immediately called someone to send Liu Zhining back, but Liu Zhining struggled and scolded: "Xu Shen, you ungrateful villain, you have today, it's not thanks to my Liu family for bringing you!" Who knew that as soon as you were a despicable villain, you turned your face and didn't recognize people! You snubbed and beat your wife, ignoring her efforts in the past few years to take care of the back house for your Xu family-"

Even if he was drunk, he didn't dare to shout out in public that Xu Shen and his father were not on the right track, after all, it involved political affairs, if he accidentally reached the heavens, the unlucky ones could only be the Liu family and him. Therefore, Liu Zhining grabbed Xu Shen's bad treatment of Liu to make trouble.

"You are a big man, why are you embarrassed to do such a thing?" Liu Zhining was still desperately shouting: "Xu Shen, you are a complete hypocrite!" ”

Xu Shen didn't care how many people outside talked about his injustice, and only commanded in a cold voice: "Tell my little uncle that it is not Master Liu who is carrying someone Xu, but His Majesty today - bring this to Lord Liu too!" ”

When Xu Shen first entered the officialdom, at that time, the Queen Mother's faction was big, and Liu Lao was the backbone of the Queen Mother's faction. He was selected and promoted by Lord Liu, but in the end, the Tao was different, and he became a loyal emperor.

Mr. Liu is now old, and the Queen Mother's faction has been frequently suppressed, if today's words reach Emperor Jing's ears, Emperor Jing has to think of the suppression of him by the Queen Mother's faction back then, and the first person to bear the brunt is Mr. Liu.

It depends on whether the Liu family can withstand this wave of anger from Emperor Jing.

Xu Shen, who had cheated the Liu family lightly, successfully arrived at the imperial city, got off the car and changed the sedan chair, all the way to Shenwu Gate.

"Lord Xu is here." The little eunuch immediately greeted him, and said with a smile and respectfully: "Today's day is a little big, Your Majesty has authorized the sedan chair of the lord to go directly to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

Xu Shen said: "Thank you for your father-in-law's kindness, Your Majesty treats me so kindly, how can I be spoiled?" This is the duty of a servant. ”

After that, walk to the Qinzheng Palace.

……

When Emperor Jing heard that Xu Shen was coming, he hurriedly let him enter the palace.

When I looked up, I saw hot sweat rolling on his fair face, and I couldn't help but say, "You have come all the way?" Didn't I allow your palanquin to come directly? ”

Xu Shen thanked him first, and then repeated what he had just said to the little eunuch.

Emperor Jing seemed helpless: "You, you are always so cautious. ”

Having said that, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Get up and speak." It just so happens that I have a piece of music here, so you can come and take a look. ”

Some palace people had already folded it to the desk on the other side, which was the seat that Emperor Jing specially asked Xu Shen to set up.

Xu Shen thanked him meticulously, and then went to his place and sat down.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, he frowned.

"Your Majesty, when did this fold arrive?"

"Morning after all." Emperor Jing said in a deep voice: "King Gong makes people hurry up, so that this can be sent to Kyoto half a month after the catastrophe - what does Aiqing think about King Gong's request?" ”

This is an urgent performance sent by King Gong, who is stationed in the border area.

The climate in the border region is cruel, with extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters. The weather in Kyoto has just started summer, but the border areas are already very hot.

King Gong wrote in the chapter that because the heat was too harsh, the soldiers in the army and the people in the border areas suffered from heat stroke, and the most lacking thing in the border areas was medicinal materials.

And when many people die, they are afraid of the plague.

Together with the epidemic, the situation is even worse and more dangerous for the border areas that lack medical treatment and medicine.

Therefore, King Gong asked Emperor Jing in the middle of the recital, hoping that Emperor Jing could give doctors and medicines to the border land, of course, silver and other materials were indispensable.

Xu Shen pondered for a while before he said: "Prince Gong's request is reasonable, if Your Majesty does not allow it, if there is a real outbreak of epidemic in the border land at that time, I am afraid that it will ......."

The excerpts of the Imperial Historical Observatory can drown Emperor Jing.

But when a discerning person saw it, Emperor Jing was not so reluctant to allocate materials to King Gong.

Emperor Jing's expression was gloomy, and he said lightly: "King Gong has managed the border land well over the years, but I heard that now the border land only knows King Gong, but I don't know about it." ”

This is Emperor Jing's heart knot.

King Gong was fame in Beijing at the beginning, he was kind and easy-going, and he was highly respected, and the palace courtiers had a very good relationship, and was smart and capable, virtuous and talented, and the courtiers mentioned King Gong, all of them praised each other. The prestige gradually overshadowed Emperor Jing, and the Queen Mother's faction was in frequent contact with King Gong, which made Emperor Jing unbearable.

finally caught a big mistake and sent King Gong to the border.

Who knew that when King Gong arrived at the border, instead of giving up on himself, he won the support of the soldiers in the borderland, and the people in the border area also loved him.

If another one or two decades passed, Emperor Jing would definitely be very pleased to have such a capable son, but now, Emperor Jing would not like a son who is more capable and prestigious than himself.

"What is Xu Qing's good plan?" Some things don't have to be said too clearly, and Emperor Jing believes that Xu Shen understands what he means.

Xu Shen did understand that Emperor Jing was not unwilling to give those materials, he just refused to give those materials in vain, and in the end, the good thing would fall on King Gong.

"It's not that hard." Xu Shen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty can order the Imperial Doctor to escort the imperial doctor and escort the supplies to the borderlands. Be sure to let the people and soldiers in the border areas know that this is a gift from Your Majesty. ”

What Emperor Jing wants is just that the soldiers and people at the border pass not only know King Gong, but also know him, Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing's expression slowed slightly, nodded and smiled: "What Xu Qing said is very meaningful. Then, according to Xu Qing, who can lead this errand to my satisfaction? ”

Xu Shen hurriedly got up, bent down and said: "Weichen has selfish intentions in this matter, Your Majesty should not ask Weichen about this matter." ”

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, "Aiqing, what does this mean?" ”

Xu Shen knelt down and smiled bitterly: "My little sister is very stubborn, so Weichen sent her to another courtyard, hoping to boil her temperament." Who would have thought that she would cause trouble all day long-"

told Princess Wen Xiang Ying Chengqing that she was going to King Qing's Mansion to help her train Diao Nu, "...... After Weichen heard about it, he was about to reprimand her, but who knew that she had a heartfelt word to say, people don't stand without trust, she has already promised Princess Qing, how can she lose her trust in others? Wei Chen thought about how could Qing Wang Ye allow her to make waves in Qing Wang's Mansion, and he couldn't say that he would offend Qing Wang Ye when the time came. But no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen—"

As he spoke, he bowed his head deeply: "Weichen just listened to His Majesty's question, and the first thing that came to mind was Prince Qing, so this is Weichen's selfishness, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Jing listened, and his expression changed several times. In the end, he let out a long sigh: "This Qing princess is so inappropriate!" At the beginning, I didn't agree with him marrying the daughter of a Jianghu sect as a princess, and he begged me hard. I thought that there was a saying among the people that he would marry again, and if he wanted to marry again, it would be up to him, who knew that he would marry such a ...... Even the affairs of the palace can't be taken care of. It's a joke for Xu Qing. ”

Xu Shen hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

In fact, Emperor Jing said that King Qing was not, but he was satisfied with King Qing and the chaos in King Qing's mansion. Although the reputation of King Qing's son is not as good as that of King Gong, King Gong has shown King Qing since he went to the border.

And King Qing is strongly supported by the Queen Mother's faction, although the Queen Mother's faction vigorously supports King Qing, but no matter what King Qing does, he will not hide anything from Emperor Jing, including what the Queen Mother's party said to King Qing in private, King Qing will also tell Emperor Jing word for word. Especially after the death of the Qu family, King Qing asked to marry the daughter of a Jianghu sect as a princess, completely eliminating the possibility of marrying other powerful ministers and wang clans, this move made Emperor Jing even more satisfied, so he even acquiesced to the closeness of King Qing and the Queen Mother's faction.

And King Qing can't even handle the affairs of his own backyard, which makes Emperor Jing even more satisfied - such a son who has problems everywhere is of course much more beautiful than a son who is perfect in everything.

"You want to let King Qing leave Beijing, and your sister can be safer in King Qing's Mansion. It's just that this is not appropriate-" Emperor Jing said and stood up, walked to Xu Shen's side with his hands, and helped him up: "It won't be long before the envoys of Zhongshan Kingdom will arrive in Kyoto, and I want King Qing to receive the envoys." If you go to the borderland, let King Jin run. ”

Xu Shen took the opportunity to stand up, "Your Majesty is wise, but Weichen didn't think about it well, and almost missed Your Majesty's big thing." ”

King Jin has always been jealous of King Gong, and he will definitely be happy to go to the border to promote the prestige of Emperor Jing, and he can't say that he will step on King Gong a few times.

This candidate is not different from what Xu Shen thought at the beginning, indeed, there is no more suitable candidate than King Jin.

In this way, it also saves him from thinking about Xiangxiang all day long.

"No one is perfect, and you are also doing this for your sister. But that Qingwang Mansion, it's time to put things in order, and it doesn't hurt to let your sister try it. ”

Xu Shen crossed the road to Emperor Jing here, and when he heard this, he naturally thanked Emperor Jing again.

After solving the problem, Emperor Jing was in a very comfortable mood: "By the way, your sister is not young, right, but she has decided on someone's family?" ”

Xu Shen's heart tightened, but his face was not in a hurry, "My little sister is weak and weak, and she is raised in bed for eight or nine months in a year, so the family is used to her, and I don't want to give her a temperament that doesn't know the sky." Because she is weak and delicate, the family has not yet set her a marriage, and they also want her to raise her at home. Weichen is such a sister, this future brother-in-law, it is good to see more. ”

Emperor Jing laughed when he heard this: "Your worrying energy is about to catch up with someone else's father." ”

"My father went early, and my eldest brother is like a father, so Weichen doesn't have to worry more." Xu Shen said helplessly.

"Originally, I still thought that if your sister didn't get married, I would have a good candidate here, but when I heard you say this, I can't say it." Emperor Jing said and laughed lightly: "Xu Qing doesn't ask me, who is a good candidate for me here?" ”

Xu Shen's heart tightened again: "If it is really a good candidate, Weichen will also ask His Majesty to marry his sister." I don't know which son's son is the good candidate that His Majesty said? ”

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "What does Xu Qing think of my unworthy nephew Nanzhou?" ”

Xu Shen's complexion changed greatly.

Emperor Jing laughed again: "Come on, look at your ugly face." I don't bother you anymore, I just didn't mention it. ”

Xu Shen immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Your Majesty is wise, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Look, it scares you." Emperor Jing was in a very happy mood, but after laughing, he sighed again: "What do you think of Yu Shitai's visit to him this morning?" ”

"Although Song Shizi did not do anything after taking over the Wuxiang camp, Weichen also heard that the Wuxiang camp has not made any trouble in the past two days." Xu Shen calmed down, and then said: "At the beginning, Your Majesty activated Song Shizi, not so that Song Shizi could rectify military affairs like the command history of other battalions, but to let him control Dongjun Wang Shizi and others. Song Shizi was a little derelict in military affairs, but Dongjun Wang Shizi and others did not seem to make trouble, which shows His Majesty's way of employing people. ”

Emperor Jing laughed: "Not bad." Of course, I didn't expect that kid to do anything serious, as long as he controlled the group of bastards in the Wuxiang camp and didn't let them block me, even if he made a meritorious service. ”

"Having said that, but if Song Shizi can change the appearance of Wuxiang Battalion, presumably those adults in Yushitai will no longer stare at him." Xu Shen said casually.

Emperor Jing groaned slightly, nodded and said: "Xu Qing is reasonable-come, Xuanwu Xiang Battalion commanded Shi Jin to face the saint in the palace." ”
