Chapter 11: King Ning (2nd Update)
Chu Xuanzong only has one son, but Chu Xuanzong's generation, there are indeed many brothers, although it is not said that it is the change of the Xuanwu Sect in the previous life, the Nine Dragons won the heir, but the competition is still fierce, and there are still three in total, and Ning Wang Xiang Hong is one of them.
There are two kinds of arrangements for the clan in the state of Chu, the first is to stay in the capital, and the imperial court will build a palace for it, give treatment, and reward; The second has made a great contribution, and has sealed a territory, but it does not have any rights, and it will be stare at by officials at all levels.
And Ning Wang Xiang Hong stayed in the imperial capital of Luoyang, when he was young, he was romantic, he didn't miss his job, and he didn't let Xuanzong wipe his ass, but all emperors are not afraid of these brothers messing around, they are afraid that these brothers are too capable, and the mess is at most a square inch of land, and they can't afford to turn over the wind and waves, but if the ability is too big, it will affect the national unity.
After Xiang Chi succeeded to the throne, he naturally wanted to reward the clan, so he was still relatively generous to the three remaining imperial uncles.
But this person is sometimes like this, he has to look forward to Shu, and he doesn't know how to be satisfied, especially King Ning, since he ascended the throne, either that the palace is too simple, or that the palace is too low, these Xiang Chi doesn't care, his imperial uncle, as long as he lives in peace, he is more luxurious, and the court raises an idler, which is more than enough.
But now he is eyeing the official position, and he has nothing to do to seek a position for his son, and even began to covet the position of the left governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion, which makes him a little unbearable, if he didn't know that he is the emperor's uncle, he just loves his son, he would have taught him a lesson.
After a little hesitation, Xiang Chi said, "Let Uncle Huang come in"
"Yes"
Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a four-clawed golden dragon king robe, with a big belly, a short beard, and a round face like a ball, walked in, looked at Xiang Chi above and saluted slightly: "Greetings to Your Majesty"
"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite, give me a seat," Xiang Chi said softly.
"Your Majesty"
Wei Zhong immediately brought a small stool, put it next to Xiang Hong, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, seat"
Xiang Hong nodded and sat on it.
"Uncle Huang, what's the matter with me today?" Xiang Chi smiled.
After some hesitation, Xiang Hong stood up again, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for a kiss for Jie'er."
"Asking for a kiss" Xiang Chi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Xiang Jie has indeed reached the age when he should get married early, but he himself has been unwilling, but Uncle Huang, you can arrange such a thing directly, why bother to come to ask me, could it be that there are still people who can refuse Ning Wangfu"
"Your Majesty, this woman's name is Shen Xinying"
"Shen Xinying" Xiang Chi thought about it slightly, and said unclearly: "Which girl is she?"
"Your Majesty, it is Shen Xinying, the youngest daughter of Shen Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of War," Xiang Hongdao.
"Shen Aiqing" Xiang Chi frowned, although Shen Cong's status was definitely not as good as Xiang Hong, but after all, he was also a member of the imperial court, and said, "Did he reject the imperial uncle?" ”
"No, Your Majesty, it's just that Shen Xinying has received the will of the harem and will participate in this draft," Xiang Hong replied.
Hearing this, Wei Zhong and Zheng Sanbao, who were serving beside them, suddenly trembled in their hearts, and hurriedly looked at Xiang Chi, and sure enough, Xiang Chi's face was completely dark.
"It turns out that Xiang Jie is a woman who has fallen in love with me," Xiang Chi said coldly.
Xiang Hong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, it's just that Jie'er and Shen Cong's young daughter have known each other since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, so since they knew about this matter, they have been depressed, and the minister is really worried about him, so he came to plead with Your Majesty."
Xiang Chi smiled disdainfully, others don't know Xiang Jie, he doesn't know yet, he looks the same as Xiang Hong, romantic, not an innocent embryo at all, it is estimated that Shen Xinying is indeed good-looking, and she is the daughter of the military department, so Xiang Hong is so positive.
But when did this Xiang Hong get so stupid that he even dared to cut off the royal concubine, and he really regarded his kindness as cowardice.
"This matter, I will talk to Shen Ai, Uncle Huang retreat" Xiang Chiqiang endured the anger in his heart, picked up the pen and prepared to review the fold.
"Your Majesty"
"Retreat" Xiang Chi's eyes were already showing a chill, Xiang Hong's face was shocked, and then he took out a letter from his pocket, and said a little helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is Wen Jun just sent back some time ago."
"What are you talking about" Xiang Chi's pupils shrank, and it had been a long time since anyone dared to mention this name in front of him.
"No matter how bold the minister is, he doesn't dare to ask for such a thing for Jie'er, but Wen Jun wrote that Jie'er has a casual personality and needs a murderous woman to turn back, and Shen Xinying has been favored by her early on" Xiang Hong held the letter high.
Xiang Chi looked at the letter, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Take it."
"Obey"
Wei Zhong carefully handed the letter to Xiang Chi.
After Xiang Chi took it, he gently tore it open and took out the letter inside.
"Brother Ling really likes it, if you don't agree, then I'll come back to talk to you personally, if you don't hold back all the time, move your little padded jacket, and fight with Brother Xiao, it won't be good"
A line of delicate and domineering small characters is written on it, and there is a ^_^ smiling face attached to it.
After Xiang Chi read it, he slapped the letter on the table, and suddenly the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall knelt on the ground in fear, and Xiang Hong also bowed his head in a little panic, although he didn't read the letter, but she knew very well how serious this matter was.
"Except for Uncle Huang and Wei Zhong, they are all given to me"
"Yes" Zheng Sanbao immediately left with the palace maids and eunuchs who served.
After Xiang Chi gasped slightly, he looked at Xiang Hong and sneered: "She can know, I know very well, but Uncle Huang, I thought you had forgotten her a long time ago, she was just one of your adopted daughters, you really attach importance to it."
"Your Majesty, although Wenjun is an adopted daughter, the minister has always regarded her as his own daughter, without her, the minister estimated that he had been stripped of the throne in the matter of the eighth brother, and in addition, the Goguryeo soldiers were strong and strong, and they intended to annex Beidi, and it was Wenjun who was a woman. . . ." Xiang Hong's face suddenly showed a deep sense of distress.
"Presumptuous" Hearing this, Xiang Chi slapped the desk violently, stood up directly, and said with a cold gaze: "Uncle Huang, are you blaming the emperor?" ”
"Don't dare" Xiang Hong immediately knelt on the ground.
"The one who defeated Goguryeo was Li Shu, the general of the Eastern Expedition, not anyone else, Uncle Huang, I hope that in the future, you will not say the wrong thing again, if this matter spreads, do you know how serious the consequences are?" Xiang Chi said.
"The minister understands, the minister is just..."
"It's nothing, it's just that this time, I will let people disqualify Shen Xinying, but you pass on the word to me and let her be honest," Xiang Chi said solemnly.
"Yes," Xiang Hong nodded.
When Xiang Hong left anxiously, Xiang Chi sat down again, looked at the letter, stroked it gently, and then said solemnly to Wei Zhong, who knew everything: "It seems that the bee spy is getting more and more powerful."
"Bee spy is the first intelligence department established by His Majesty five years ago, and it has been more than five years since it began, and the number of bees is estimated to be tens of thousands," Wei Zhong replied.
"The establishment of Jinyiwei needs talents, you will go to Xuzhou tomorrow as the commander of Jinyiwei, and take back half of the control of the bee spy to me, in addition" Xiang Chi hesitated slightly, and said: "Tell her that if there is such a thing, don't think about being this queen bee of his"
"Ah" Wei Zhong was taken aback, and hurriedly said very nervously: "Your Majesty, the minister can start from scratch."
Looking at the frightened gaze, Xiang Chi glanced at him and said, "You are so afraid of her"
"Slaves are guilty," Wei Zhong knelt down again.
Xiang Chi smiled bitterly, seeing this scene, his heart suddenly disappeared a lot, and then he shook his head and said, "Since this is the case, then forget it"
"Your Majesty Xie, Your Majesty Xie" Wei Zhong kowtowed, he knew that it would be like this, and it was estimated that the result of his going was that he came back covered in injuries, and that life, it seemed that only the queen mother had calculated once, and that time there seemed to be a voluntary element in it.
"Look at your virtue, you were scared like this by her, you go out, don't say that you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, shame" Xiang Chi said with white eyes.
After Wei Zhong smiled awkwardly, he said loudly: "No matter what position the slave is, it is His Majesty's minion, and this will never change."
Hearing this, Xiang Chi immediately laughed and said, "Go and prepare, it's too stuffy in the palace, go out for a walk."
"Yes"
