Considered by his father to be the son of the most pit Lao Tzu, by his son to be the father of the most pit son, and by his wife to be the best husband in the world, Yue Xiaosi, who has gathered many titles in one, is now hot and easy to play in Shangjing, and even countless officials and people think that he is simply a legend.

is obviously just a concubine of a princess who has fallen out of favor, but after the death of his wife, not only did he not stand aside, but he was also chased by the eldest princess who liked to throw off the horse the most. And before Xiao Jingxian betrayed the country and Nantou, he just drew a clear line with the other party, and while not falling out of favor, he also hung up the name of taking charge of the Autumn Hunting Division. Now it's even more legendary, the emperor found a son for Xiao Jingxian, and that son is still his righteous son!

That's right, although Yue Xiaosi said that he was begging for nothing, he took out a righteous father from Zhen Rong's mouth.

At this moment, the newly promoted king of Lanling County, who was newly promoted to his father-in-law, was walking in the direction of the East Palace with the new king Zhen Rong, whose title was one level higher than him—although the official name should be Xiao Rong, Zhen Rong was very resistant to this, and on all occasions that were not necessary, he still used his original name.

The two of them had previously taken over the errand of canonizing the crown prince, and now they were ordered to check the long-idle Beiyan East Palace.

It's just that the two people, who seem to outsiders to be like father and son, are not so warm at all. Because every time he spoke, all he got was a rather indecent answer, Zhen Rong finally became popular. He was a little behind Yue Xiao Si and a half pace, and he suddenly overtook the other party with an arrow step, and then directly blocked in front of Yue Xiao Si.

It was about the time that he had eaten a lot of meat and milk in the past few months, and because of the young man's long body, he had jumped two or three inches taller, and now he could almost look at him when he stood in front of the tall and straight Yue Xiaosi. He completely ignored the peeping eyes not far away, and shouted angrily, "What do you mean by perfunctory my words? You know that the twelfth princess likes Yue Qianqiu, not to mention that I haven't even met her a few times, I will never agree to this inexplicable marriage, and she will not agree to it if she wants to! ”

"You're wrong." Yue Xiaosi shook his index finger gently, then took a step forward, pushed the seemingly resolute and angry Zhen Rong away, and continued to walk forward unhurriedly, until the person hurriedly caught up, the voice of panting because of anger was clearly audible, and he said lightly, "Xiao Twelve has grown a lot since she came back this time, she likes Qianqiu, but it doesn't mean that she will resist her father." ”

"Didn't you think that she would most likely come to you and make an agreement between the two of you? For example, you are a fake marriage, different rooms, as long as you do that, who you like, who she likes, it's up to you. Wait for the limelight to pass...... Well, this limelight used to refer to the fact that after her father died, the two of you will naturally reconcile and separate, what is your love. ”

Zhen Rong simply forgot about the cultivation that he had been cultivated by his teacher since he was a child, and almost wanted to scold: "Bastard, this is ridiculous!" How can a marriage event be such a child's play, besides, this is just your imagination! ”

"Wrong, it's Xiao Twelve who came to me and asked me to talk to you first, so that when you two talk back, you can be more calm."

Yue Xiaosi's words successfully aroused all of Zhen Rong's anger. He caught up with Yue Xiaosi again, and reached out to pull his collar, but that hand was easily opened by Yue Xiaosi. Not only that, Yue Xiaosi used the small grappling hand that was inherited from Yue Ying and was only stronger than Zhou Jiyue, and only two moves twisted Zhen Rong's hands, and in turn pulled him closer.

"Don't forget that you called me father-in-law. Although your current title is a cut higher than mine, the word unfilial piety is not a big crime in Beiyan, but it is not good-looking after all. Since you chose to stay by mistake, and chose to accept the title of King Jin, now go to the East Palace with me to see what is lacking and what to make up, and tomorrow you will go to canonize the crown prince, and you have to be conscious of some things. ”

Seeing that Zhen Rong drooped his head as if he was completely deflated, Yue Xiaosi let go of his hand and patted the back of Zhen Rong's head like a child, and then took a step back.

"Besides, this matter is still 108,000 miles away from success. Xiao Twelve, the princess of Anguo, can still be crowned smoothly, but do you think this canonization of the third prince as the crown prince can be obedient? When the time comes, as soon as the mess comes out, you won't be able to take care of anything, not to mention that you are completely a marriage that Xiao Twelve's father came up with with a pat on the head. ”

Zhen Rong suddenly felt like a basin of ice water was poured on his head, and he calmed down instantly. He wasn't an impulsive person in the first place, but somehow, he got along with this guy next to him a lot, but he was always teased and messed up.

When he arrived at the East Palace, he simply followed Yue Xiaosi silently, coldly watching people find fault with those honest and fearful servants, and only burst out a sentence before he went out.

"You find so many faults, can these problems really be solved before tomorrow?"

"It's my duty to find faults today, it's their task to fix them, and it's their business to do it if they can't finish it, what do I have to do with it?"

Yue Xiaosi glanced at Zhen Rong and said, "Besides, since I took you to pick up the two brothers and sisters of the Third Prince and Xiao Twelve, who almost died, in the eyes of others and even the emperor, we are one party." As a fellow party, it is natural to try his best to fight for the three princes who are about to enter the East Palace, which is the minimum obligation. At this time, it is unclear, because no one else will believe it. ”

Just as he was saying this, he saw a person in the distance running towards him like a flyer. He leisurely stretched out his hand and nodded, and then said with a smile: "Since the previous accident, now the Northern Yan Imperial City and the palace city are not allowed to run horses, everything has to rely on two legs to walk, you see this person is running in such a hurry, and he is coming at us, I'm afraid something happened again." ”

Zhen Rong had deeply seen the crow's mouth of the king of Lanling County beside him-the good things didn't work, but the bad things worked nine times out of ten - so he couldn't help but feel a tight in his heart, and when the people were about to get closer, he asked bluntly without waiting for the other party to speak: "What's wrong?" ”

The waiter was already out of breath, but when Zhen Rong asked so suddenly, he wanted to speak, but he was choked by the cold wind, and suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly, and his knees fell to the ground as soon as his knees became weak.

And his appearance of choking and coughing vigorously with his throat really looked like he was poisoned by someone, or a precursor to poisoning and dying.

Seeing that Zhen Rong looked caught off guard, Yue Xiaosi stepped forward and dragged the person up, smoothed the person's back with one hand, and then slapped it twice in his throat, and when the waiter finally relieved himself, he said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the auspicious day for the canonization of the crown prince, and you are about to cough and die at this glance, and others still think that you are holding your last breath to see us." ”

The waiter was exhausted and choked again, his legs were completely weak, and although he heard the words at this time, he didn't dare to compete with Yue Xiaosi, so he could only hang his head and whisper: "The king of the county, it's a small one who is out of breath for a while." Actually, it was the princess of Wei...... Left a book and ran away, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Although his voice was extremely low, the smaller the four faces did not move, but Zhen Rong was not so calm, and the expression of anger that appeared in an instant had already made the people at the gate of the East Palace not far away see it clearly.

The smaller Yue Xiao, who noticed this scene, glanced at the peepers, and saw that most of them shrank back under his gaze, but there were still people there, he was not angry, and asked unhurriedly: "Did the emperor ask you to come?" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly said respectfully: "The emperor is fasting in the Qingxin Pavilion early in the morning, and he has already issued a message to instruct that from today to tomorrow, the state affairs will ask the left and right ministers, and the internal affairs will inform the county king and the king of Jin. The departure of the princess of Wei is considered an internal affair of the imperial family, so ......"

Nodding his head to show that he understood, no need to say more, a gesture sent away the waiter, Yue Xiaosi hooked his hand and motioned for Zhen Rong to go with him. When he left the scope of the East Palace, he spread his hands and said: "See, now there are at least ten hours before the auspicious time of canonizing the crown prince tomorrow, the eldest princess is gone, and there will be more things in the future, all of which must be solved by you and me." ”

Zhen Rong was already a little accustomed to the strange style of Emperor Beiyan, and couldn't help frowning at this time: "The emperor even issued an edict for his own crimes, and said that in the future, he would be benevolent, stop the sword soldiers, investigate the merger, and determine the country, how could he still let it ......"

"Let what? The country is going to be decided tomorrow, but if you look at the first three items, they are to appease ordinary people, not to appease high-ranking officials and nobles. Don't you see it yet? Today's Dayan Tianzi is very interested in the magnates, royal families, and families of Beiyan for nearly a hundred years...... All of them are not to be seen, although even a few of their own sons have been eliminated over the years, but more people have been eliminated with such a group of people. Therefore, the third prince is probably not just an ornament. He has no maternal family, which is quite in line with his father's standards. ”

"Provided that he survives."

The last eight words of Yue Xiaosi were also said as soon as he saw the third prince, but he changed him to you. He didn't plan to be a powerful minister in Beiyan for the rest of his life, so he didn't care about offending the future prince or even the emperor at all. Later, when he mentions the disappearance of Princess Celestia, who had been kind to him in the past, his tone is also so flat that it seems that he is just talking about a stranger.

"The eldest princess is leaving, but I'm afraid that the killing opportunity will still exist, and she won't give up."

"She still wants to kill me...... She didn't give up, she still wanted to kill me! ”

The third prince shouted a little nervously, and it was not until the impatient scolding of the twelve princesses came from the side that he closed his mouth.

"She wants to kill us, but I want to kill her! I lied to her before that time, I was indeed a little sorry for her, but it was her own uncle who said that she was not born to the queen, and it was not what I said, she wanted to go crazy and have the ability to rush at Xiao Jingxian and me, what are you doing? The Twelve Princesses rubbed the wound on her left neck that had just healed, but still had a scar, and her face showed a bitter hatred.

"But I also want to thank her, if it weren't for her, maybe I would still be the little girl who only knows how to go around men all day long, doesn't understand anything, and listens to others, and I wouldn't have the current scenery. Even if this scenery is just that my father sees me as a little charity, it is better than being treated as a fool before! ”

Yue Xiaosi didn't seem to know that the twelve princesses were treated as fools, and they faintly had a little resentment against him. He shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." As long as we do not have the arrogant ambition of gathering party henchmen to kill the emperor together, then although there are many enemies to deal with, it is not very difficult. ”

"How do you know that my father doesn't have the intention of fighting with the snipe and the clam to get rid of us?"

Although he seemed weak and unassertive when he was just drunk by the Twelfth Princess, when he interrupted Yue Xiaosi's words at this moment, the Third Prince showed a hysterical madness.

"Me and Twelve both came back from Nanwu, and in the eyes of others, it is a secret agreement with Nanwu, doesn't Emperor Anzhi think so? What if his so-called canonization of me as the crown prince was just a pretense? We only care about dealing with the swarming enemies in front of us, and if we are stabbed in the back when we are exhausted in battle, then we will not die unjustly? ”

"But what's the benefit of your father doing this?" This time, it was Zhen Rong who asked rhetorically, "Although he is younger than Emperor Nanwu, he is already about to know the destiny of heaven, and he used to have a group of sons under his knees, but now he is scattered." As long as you don't deal with him, who will the throne be given to after he kills you? ”

The third prince slammed his fists on the table frantically and said angrily: "Then who can say for sure!" Emperor of Dayan...... There are not many normal people! ”

Not to mention this evaluation, Yue Xiaosi and Zhen Rong agreed very much, and even the twelve princesses thought so. But compared to the three princes who were about to ascend to the crown prince but had no confidence at all, they didn't think that Emperor Beiyan's chatter this time was to make other people burn jade-to put it mildly, they were cut off like wheat in such a round, and many seats in the officialdom were empty.

This situation began in the middle and late period of the previous emperor, because the domestic political struggles were too frequent and intense, so not only the descendants of the Northern Yan imperial family fell at every turn, but even the Han family also suffered from it. Therefore, when Yue Xiaosi led a liukou army led by Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan to return to the north, he was able to send back the four Han families that had been rooted in Beiyan for nearly a hundred years with the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west.

Even those Han families who have been in Beiyan for generations and do not easily mix with the infighting of the royal family can no longer stand this tragic infighting, and the Emperor of Beiyan has already issued an edict against himself, if this is not reined in, he plans to continue to cut a stubble of wheat...... Hehe, then all that's left is a wilderness.

Nowadays, many of the seats of the five-rank officials are even new jinshi who signed six years ago or even three years, so you can imagine how many officials have been destroyed.

Therefore, after taking a look at Zhen Rong and the Twelfth Princess, Yue Xiaosi said calmly: "Tomorrow I am fully prepared." Xiao Twelve doesn't appear anyway, she is fully responsible for the outside of the palace, as for the palace, Ah Rong and I are the canonized envoys, and everything is always living and dying with you, so you can put your heart back in your stomach. If it really doesn't work, then the fish will die! ”

Anyway, if that is the case, Beiyan will be in chaos, and he will be able to "die", complete the task and go home, and his wife and children will be hot! He and the news channel in the south have been officially set up, under the central organization of Erjie and the strict response of the south, a group of absolutely reliable people have infiltrated Beiyan as a response, the number is not large, but it is in the elite.

Besides, Xiao Jingxian's group of guards are now all Zhen Rong's diehards, even if they are mixed with sand by Xiao Jingxian, it is enough for them to do not very confidential things!
