"Your Majesty's mercy, Your Majesty's grace!"

With a hissing and exhausted shout, Yu He, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the imperial history supervisor, was stripped of his court clothes by a group of palace guards in front of the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty and forcibly dragged out.

The hundreds of officials in the palace looked at each other, especially the ministers of the crown prince Li Wei and his party, and their faces were full of disbelief.

What's the situation?

His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor is too cooperative, right?

Xie An was stunned, but he was really a little confused.

You must know that Xie An just wanted to use the Son of Heaven Li Ji to teach Yu He who came forward to stir up trouble, but he never expected that after listening to his words, Li Ji cut off Yu He's official position without saying a word, and asked the palace guards to strip off Yu He's court clothes on the spot, I have to admit that Li Ji gave Xie An enough face, and even, it was far beyond Xie An's imagination.

Because of this, Xie Anxin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, subconsciously glanced at Yin Gong, and saw the old man smiling and shaking his head, so he secretly relieved himself.

Interesting......

Your Majesty, is this planning to reuse this kid Xie An?

Or is it to use this incident to warn His Royal Highness the Prince, so that the courtiers of the prince's party understand that they should not be so arrogant and domineering?

After glancing at Xie An, Yin Gong's loose eyelids were picked, and he quietly glanced at the opposite prince Li Wei, secretly guessing the plan of Li Ji, the son of heaven.

At this moment, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven sitting in the Dragon Court, smiled slightly, looked at Xie An and said, "Xie Aiqing, are you satisfied with my handling like this?" ”

Although Xie An is not as smart as the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he doesn't know stupid people after all, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty is serious, how dare you judge yourself?" ——Your Majesty Xie supports justice for Weichen! ”

"That's good! ——After returning to the Great Prison Temple, Aiqing was interrogated, don't let the world think that I have treated meritorious people badly! ”

"Wechen obeys! ——Wei Chen thought that most of Lord Yu was also confused for a while, and when he lived in the prison of the Great Prison Temple for a few days, he would sober his mind, and he would definitely understand the great grace of the emperor, and when the time came, Lord Yu would inevitably have no distractions and continue to serve my Great Zhou and share his worries for His Majesty! ”

"Hehehe......" The Son of Heaven Li Ji smiled slightly, non-committal, and Xie An also smiled.

Looking at this old acquaintance and smiling, Yin Gong's eyes vaguely showed a little appreciation, looked at Xie An and nodded secretly, and said secretly in his heart, although Xie An is young, he also knows how to repay the peach and knows how to figure out the holy will, not according to his own preferences, which is really valuable!

At the same time, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also looked at Xie An and nodded secretly.

When he came, Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had already given Xie An enough face, if Xie An was too demanding, it would make Long Yan unhappy, as long as he was a smart person, he would give in a few points at this time.

Listening to what Xie An said, it seemed that he was speaking for Yu He, but in fact, he was repaying Li with a peach and repaying the face given by the Son of Heaven Li Ji, and the Son of Heaven Li Ji also borrowed the slope to go down, and after reprimanding that Yu He, he would be reinstated as an official, so that the Son of Heaven Li Ji could teach the prince Li Wei a hard lesson without touching the power of the prince Li Wei and his party.

What does it mean to know the current affairs and advance and retreat?

That's it!

Although he was initially forced by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, today, Ruan Shaozhou finds that he is more and more appreciative of himself as a cheap student.

When he came, Xie An was able to comprehend this truth at a young age, and his future was limitless!

How did he know that Xie An was secretly scolding in his heart at the moment.

Speaking of which, when the son of heaven Li Ji cut off Yu He's official position with a word, Xie An was really startled, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the plan of the son of heaven Li Ji.

People are old and fine, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take, this sentence is not false at all, although he has long known that His Majesty the Son of Heaven is not simple, but after today's events, he feels even more that old people who have been in power for decades such as Li Ji and Prime Minister Yingong are sleek and meticulous in their work, which is really not something that he Xie An can compare.

It may be that seeing Xie An's knowledge of current affairs like this, Li Ji, the son of heaven, secretly appreciated it, but also Longyan Dayue, stroked the handrail of Longting, and said with a smile, "The Chang'an rebels have been building for a long time, destroying the stability of my Great Zhou, and now Xie Aiqing is assisting my son...... The successful extermination of the rebels has a great credit, Xie Aiqing, what do you think I should reward you? When he said the word "my son", he paused slightly, glanced at Li Shou, who was standing in the center of the hall with his head down, and his expression seemed to be a little strange.

Xie An didn't notice the strange look in Li Ji's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Weichen is the minister of the Great Zhou, he should be loyal to the country, how dare he ask for a reward?" ”

"Hehehe," Li Ji said with a faint smile and a bit of teasing, "Since that's the case, I won't reward you!" ”

Hey?

Really not rewarded?

Xie An was stunned, he really wanted to throw himself a few big mouths, but when he secretly raised his head and looked at Li Ji in surprise, he saw a few traces of narrowness flashing in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and suddenly, Xie Anxin couldn't cry or laugh.

As if noticing Xie An's strange look, Li Ji laughed, and Long Yan Dayue said, "I'm just joking, Xie Aiqing has made such a meritorious deed this time, how can I not reward it?" - In this way, don't all the people in the world want to know the rewards and punishments? ”

Xie An smiled, in all fairness, except for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, it was the first time he was so embarrassed, but this is not a bad thing, after all, with Li Ji's honorable status, he is not just joking with people, this is a kind of honor!

"That's right," as if thinking of something, Li Ji patted the handrail of Longting and said with a smile, "It just so happened that Kong Aiqing said goodbye to the old man and recommended Xie Aiqing to me, in this case, Xie Aiqing, I will ask you to inherit Kong Qing's mantle and be promoted to the secretary of the Great Prison Temple!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace were in an uproar.

You must know that the official position of the Great Prison Temple Qing is the third grade, and he is also one of the Nine Qings, although it belongs to the Criminal Department, but it is not subject to the constraints of the Criminal Department, and the power is quite large, so to speak, but all cases that need to be tried must go through the Great Prison Temple, and even, as long as it is a judgment made by the Great Prison Temple, even the Criminal Department has no right to interfere.

In such an important position, Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, actually handed it over to Xie An, who had not yet reached the age of a weak crown?

Prince Li Wei's eyes showed a little anger, and at this moment, Chu Xi, the first assistant university scholar of the palace, slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, let Lao Chen say something!" ”

Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, glanced at Chu Xi, raised his hand and said, "Chu Aiqing, but it's okay to say it!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Xi arched his hand towards the Son of Heaven, and then slowly walked out of the queue, and after glancing at Xie An, he said in a calm tone, "The Great Prison Temple is the official office of my Great Zhou interrogation, and the weight of the power is not the sixth department, but it is better than the sixth, Lord Xie took over the position of Shaoqing at the age of not yet a weak crown, which is already an anomaly, and now His Majesty has promoted Lord Xie to the position of Zhengqing of the Great Prison Temple regardless of the system, I am afraid it is a little inappropriate......"

As soon as the words fell, Xie An's cheap teacher, Ruan Shaozhou, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, with a slight chuckle, and said lightly, "If you have ambitions, you are not old, and if you have no ambitions, you will be a hundred years old!" - Master Chu is the first auxiliary scholar of the palace, and he is proficient in learning, so he probably doesn't need the official to explain to the scholar, right? ”

Chu Xi's eyes widened slightly, glanced at Ruan Shaozhou, and said with a smile, "As far as the old man knows, Xie Shaoqing is a student of Ruan Shangshu, right?" ”

"So what?" Ruan Shaozhou snorted lightly and said lightly, "Xie Shaoqing is from the imperial examination, this official is the director of the imperial examination, and the candidates in the examination can be regarded as students of the official. ”

"Don't dare to advise, the old man just talks about things!" Chu Xi smiled slightly and said lightly, "As far as the old man knows, Xie Shaoqing has never participated in the Guangling County Township Examination at all, but among the candidates for the Ministry of Rites Examination, there is Xie Shaoqing's name, which is really incredible!" ”

Ruan Shaozhou frowned when he heard this.

To be honest, has Xie An participated in the examination of Guangling County, and as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will he still be unclear?

He knew that it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu who secretly added Xie An's name to the list of candidates when Yin Gong was not paying attention, and even Xie An had a few exam papers, and he Ruan Shaozhou helped answer the questions.

But having said that, since Chu Xi was so sure that Xie An had not participated in the township test in Guangling County, it was not difficult to guess that the crown prince Li Wei had sent someone to investigate this matter.

Glancing at Ruan Shaozhou, who was silent, Chu Xi said lightly, "Xie An, born in Guangling, Hongwu for 21 years, was the Shangjia Ding of the Su Family Mansion in Guangling, and in the 22nd year of Hongwu, after the defeat of the Su family, he came to Jijing, got acquainted with His Royal Highness the Nine, and entered the palace as a master...... Master Xie, is the old man right? Speaking of this, Chu Xi turned his head to look at Xie An.

Damn it......

Li Wei's bastard sent someone to investigate himself, and he even knew about the Su family......

Glancing at the crown prince Li Wei, Xie An frowned slightly.

I have to say that Xie An's guess is good, you must know that when she was in Hanhan Guguan, in the days when Jin Ling'er was trapped by Xie An, she had already told Xie An about her transactions with the crown prince Li Wei, including the prince Li Wei's plan to borrow her Jin Ling'er's hand to kill Xie An and Li Shou, and blame Chen Bei, the commander of the Taiping Army who was hiding in the rebels.

In the end, because [Ghost Ji] Jin Ling'er had a little inexplicable affection for Xie An, she gave up assassinating Xie An and Li Shou, and returned to Jijing without saying goodbye after getting out of trouble.

However, the crown prince Li Wei did not give up, after learning that Jin Ling'er had failed, Li Wei sent someone to investigate Xie An thoroughly, so he would know that Xie An had been a family member in the Su family, a wealthy silk man in Guangling, and also found out that Xie An had not participated in the township test in Guangling County at all.

Although he had expected that the crown prince Li Wei would not give up like this, Xie An still did not expect that what he had done when he was in Guangling would also be completely turned over.

I have never participated in the township examination, but I impersonated myself to participate in the examination in Jijing, once this matter is confirmed, it is a crime of bullying the king, and the consequences are unimaginable!

This is planning to put himself to death, Li Wei, that bastard!

Isn't that worry-free?

Frowning and glancing at the expressionless prince Li Wei in the distance, looking at the coldness in his eyes, Xie Anxin scolded secretly.

"Lord Xie?" Seeing that Xie An was silent, Chu Xi said lightly, "Why doesn't Lord Xie speak?" ”

Xie An came back to his senses when he heard this, arched his hand, and said with a smile, "What do you call this adult?" ”

Chu Xi frowned, and said lightly, "The old man is the young master of the crown prince and the first assistant of the palace Chu Xi......"

"Oh!" Xie An nodded suddenly in realization, and said secretly in his heart, it's you, an old horseman!

It's no wonder, after all, Xie An has long heard that someone is competing with his cheap teacher Ruan Shaozhou for the position of the next prime minister.

Thinking that Fang Cai was outside the Taihe Palace, Ruan Shaozhou had said that there was no need to be polite to this old horseman, Xie Anxin smiled, and after thinking about it, he said with a smile, "It's really unexpected, the details of the lower officials, Master Chu has investigated so clearly...... So, what does Master Chu want to say? - Do you want to say that the lower officials used to have a lowly status, so they were not allowed to hold important positions in the imperial court? ”

Hearing this, Chu Xi glanced at Xie An deeply, shook his head and said, "Lord Xie misunderstood, the old man also knows [the hero doesn't ask the source], the old man just wants to ask, Lord Xie has never participated in the Guangling County Township Examination, how can he be eligible to participate in the Jijing Entrance Examination?" ”

This old puppet is planning to bite this matter and not let go!

Xie An couldn't help but feel a little regretful, when he came, if Chu Xi bit Xie An's former identity as a micro-end, it would be easy to do, however, the old man in front of him was obviously not simple, and he only bit the fact that Xie An had never participated in the Guangling County Township Test, which made Xie An feel a little headache.

Until now, I can only bite to death!

Thinking of this, Xie An smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Lord Chu really investigated the details of the lower officials, but there are some discrepancies ......"

Chu Xi's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "What does Lord Xie mean is that Lord Xie once participated in Guangling's entrance examination?" ”

"Yes!"

"Hehehe," Chu Xi stroked his beard and laughed, then a smile on his face narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Then why does the examiner of Guangling County have no impression of Master Xie?" ”

"It's not strange," Xie An said lightly, "At the beginning, Xia Guan was just a grass people, with no status or reputation, and the officials of Guangling County naturally didn't recognize Xia Guan!" ”

"Even if Master Xie is the top of the high school list, he will try to solve the yuan for Guangling County Township?"

"Yes!"

"......" Looking at Xie An's rogue look, Chu Xi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "If things are abnormal, there must be demons...... Since Lord Xie went to Jijing to participate in the examination as the commander of the Guangling County Township Test, but the officials of Guangling County had no impression of Lord Xie, Lord Xie thought, does this make sense? ”

"What's wrong with that?" Glancing at Chu Xi, Xie An said with a smile, "Lord Chu is a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the palace, and he is an official of the same dynasty as the lower officials, doesn't the lower officials also don't recognize the adults?" I don't even have the slightest impression! ”

"......" Chu Xi's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and after a few deep glances at Xie An, he said meaningfully, "Lord Xie is really clever and eloquent......

"What do you want to say?" Interrupting Chu Xi's words, Xie An chuckled and said, "Do you want to say, [It's been a lot, it's not necessarily good]?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Xi was stunned and asked in surprise, "Why does Lord Xie feel like this?" ”

"Intuition!"

"Intuition?" Chu Xi shook his head amusedly, not realizing that Xie An had skillfully changed the topic, looked at Xie An with interest, and said, "In this case, how does Lord Xie treat himself?" ”

With a sneer in his heart, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said, "How to treat yourself, Xia Guan doesn't know, but Xia Guan can be sure that adults must be quite smart when they are young!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of sneers in the hall, and everyone knew that Xie An was turning around and scolding Chu Xi for being confused.

Chu Xi's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said coldly, "Oh? What does Master Xie mean is that the old man is old and ignorant? ”

"This is what the adults said," Xie An smiled, and after seeing a little displeasure in Chu Xi's eyes, he restrained the smile on his face, and Gu Zuoyan said, "The lower official dares to ask, have you ever heard the phrase [bullying the old but not the young]?" ”

Chu Xi frowned when he heard this, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and after glancing at Xie An, he said coldly, "Please also ask Lord Xie for advice!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Xie An smiled and arched his hand, and then asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Chu Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "The old man is sixty and twenty years old this year, ......

"Sixty-two," Xie An chuckled, then looked at Chu Xi and said, "Xiaguan is less than eighteen this year......

"So what?"

"Isn't that easy? - The adults are embarrassed by the lower officials, it is nothing more than to suppress the lower officials, the adults are the first auxiliary scholars of the palace, and the lower officials are only a five-grade official, whether it is seniority or age, naturally they can't fight the adults, therefore, the lower officials can only endure it...... Endure for ten years! Ten years is long enough, right? Ten years later, Xia Guan is twenty-eight years old, just the right year, but what about adults? I'm afraid it's already in the dirt! - I don't even know such a simple truth, and adults dare to say that they are not old and ignorant?! In the end, Xie An's tone gradually increased.

"You!" Rao is Chu Xi, and he was also furious when he heard this.

But Xie An didn't give Chu Xi a chance to speak, stepped forward, and said with a sneer, "The grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grace of Jianxi will be repaid!" - Xiaguan is not a humble gentleman, how to embarrass the subordinate today, ten years later, as long as the subordinate is still an official in the court, how to embarrass the adult student and heir! Ten reports for one! - This is called the [Retribution Cycle]! ”

"You!" Chu Xi's beard trembled angrily, and his fingers Xie An trembled slightly and said, "Insult Sven, insult Sven!" - Xie An, you dare to threaten the old man? ”

"Threat?" Xie An sneered, pursed his lips and said, "This is called [Do not do to others what you do not want]!" ——The lower official has a meritorious role in begging for the thief this time, but the adult is so embarrassed for the lower official today, the lower official remembers, in the future, there will be a reward! ”

Seeing the threatening look in Xie An's eyes, Chu Xi's heart ached angrily, covering his heart with one hand, and pointing at Xie An with the other trembling, unable to say a word angrily.

Chu Xi, who was full of anger, didn't even realize that he was changed the topic halfway by Xie An, and he was only full of anger.

Pretty! Pretty!

Joyfully! Joyfully!

Brilliant! Brilliant!

Seeing that Chu Xi, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the palace, was unstable by Xie An, Yin Gong, Ruan Shaozhou, Changsun Xiangyu, Kong Wen and others were secretly surprised in their hearts.

Even Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, was moved by this, and kept looking at Xie An.

As for the ministers in the palace, they were also uneasy by Xie An's words.

That's right, this Xie An is only eighteen years old now, ten years later, he is in the right age, on the other hand, the courtiers in the palace, how many of them can live to those ten years later?

Thinking of this, the courtiers in the palace looked at Chu Xi's eyes, full of schadenfreude.

It is conceivable that once Xie An soars and rises to prominence in the future, Chu Xi's children, grandchildren, children and nephews will inevitably be implicated, even if Chu Xi overthrows Xie An today, so what?

That Xie Annai is the husband of Liangqiu Dance in Donggongfu, who has endured for ten years, and can still enter the court as an official, but what about Chu Xi? As Xie An said, most of them have already been buried in the ground, and by then, the Chu family is afraid that they will suffer.

Maybe he also thought of this powerful relationship, Chu Xi looked at Xie An's angry gaze, and a little uneasiness faintly appeared.

What does it mean to rather offend a gentleman than a villain?

That's what I'm talking about!

Looking at Chu Xi, a scholar of the palace's first auxiliary university, standing or retreating, Li Ji, the son of heaven, felt very funny in his heart.

It's really unbelievable that this old guy who has been competing with Xuanwen for most of his life is planted in the hands of a junior who is only eighteen years old today, and he is so embarrassed!

Thinking of this, Li Ji glanced at his best friend Yingong for decades, although Yingong was still closing his eyes at this time, as if he hadn't heard anything, Li Ji still noticed a faint smile at the corner of Yingong's mouth.

"Okay, okay," waving his hand, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, said in a round game, "Chu Aiqing's investigation, there must be discrepancies, like Xie Aiqing, a handsome man with real talent and learning, will naturally show his prominence in the Guangling County Township Examination, as for why the officials of Guangling County have no impression of Xie Aiqing, most of them are just blind-eyed......"

"......" Chu Xi opened his mouth, stopped talking, and after glancing at Xie An, who was sneering, he returned to the queue with his sleeves.

First, it was Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, and secondly, Chu Xi also realized that he had just lost enough face, and he didn't want to mess with Xie An anymore and be embarrassed.

Looking at Chu Xi's chest rising and falling angrily, Li Ji, the son of heaven, secretly laughed, then coughed and said to Xie An, "Then again, Xie Aiqing's words are also inappropriate!" - I hope Aiqing will encourage herself, and she will not do it again in the future! ”

Xie An bowed his hand when he heard this, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ——Wechen obeys! ”

"Since that's the case......" Glancing around at the courtiers in the hall, Li Ji said with a chuckle, "Xie Aiqing, I have made your contribution to the thief, and I have promoted you to the head of the Great Prison Temple!" - Does Zhu Aiqing have any objections? ”

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, with Yu He and Chu Xi in front of them, even the courtiers of the crown prince Li Wei and his party did not dare to intervene again.

After all, the matter of Fang Cai is enough to prove that although this Xie An is young, he is not easy to bully, especially the sentence [The grace of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes must be repaid], who wants to offend such a character?

Even if it was the crown prince Li Wei, who hated Xie An to the core, he didn't feel a little complicated when he looked at Xie An.

He had to admit that this Xie An was indeed a talent, but unfortunately, the relationship between the two was now incompatible.

If you can't defeat this Xie An today, there will be endless troubles in the future!

It's just that Li Wei also realized that he could no longer bring down Xie An in the officialdom, after all, Xie An was no longer the scholar of the Anle Mansion when he first met, and now he was standing behind Xie An and cheering for him, that was the Donggong Mansion, the Nangong Mansion, and the eldest grandson's family.

Among the five giants in Jijing, there are three giants who support Xie An behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, the crown prince Li Wei gritted his teeth with hatred and hatred, and secretly cursed to damn it.

thought that Xie An would be very happy to thank the emperor after hearing about such a good thing, but to the surprise of all the courtiers in the palace, Xie An actually showed a little hesitation after listening to the words of Li Ji, the son of heaven.

Perhaps noticing the hesitation on Xie An's face, Li Ji said in surprise, "Xie Shaoqing, how can you be dissatisfied?" ”

"No," Xie An shook his head again and again, and said, "Wechen just thinks that Wechen is still young and inexperienced, and there are many places where he still needs to consult Master Kong, and besides, ......"

The ministers in the palace were surprised when they heard this, and they were a little confused

Originally, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, crowned Xie An as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, which was enough to shock the courtiers, but now listening to Xie An's words, this kid actually plans to resign?

It took a lot of effort to make Chu Xi, the first assistant university scholar of the palace, speechless, but at the end of the day, Xie An resigned this great good thing?

"Again?" The Son of Heaven Li Ji also showed a little surprise on his face, raised his hand and said, "Xie Aiqing will say it if he has something to ......say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie An arched his hand, glanced at Kong Wen's direction, licked his lips, and said, "As far as Weichen knows, Master Kong has spent his whole life in the Great Prison Temple...... In Weichen, the Great Prison Temple is undoubtedly the home of Lord Kong, or the destination of this life, if he relieves of this position, how can Lord Kong settle down? - Therefore, I forgive the ministers for their courage, and ask Your Majesty to withdraw these gifts, so that Master Kong can continue to serve the Great Zhou and share His Majesty's worries until ......" He did not say any more, but all the ministers in the palace had already understood what he meant.

This kid...... It's really affectionate!

Li Ji, the son of heaven, was moved when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Prime Minister Yingong, but when he saw this friend who had been his friend for decades, he also opened his eyes at this moment and looked at Xie An in astonishment.

This idiot! What nonsense!

Seeing that Xie An actually shirked such a good thing, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was standing behind Yin Gong, was anxious and angry, but because of his bad identity, he could only stare at Xie An viciously, so as to express his displeasure in his heart.

On the other hand, Liang Qiu Wu looked at Xie An with a look of surprise and relief, and looked at Xie An with a smile in his phoenix eyes, looking at Xie An directly, his eyes were even a little obsessed.

And the rest of the courtiers looked at Xie An with mixed eyes, including shocked, sneering, despised, and admired.

"Xie Aiqing means ......" The expression of the Son of Heaven Li Ji became a little solemn, put away his smile, and looked directly at Xie An.

I have to admit that Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, is worthy of being the emperor of the Great Zhou, and the pressure on Xie An is still quite large, after a little hesitation, Xie An plucked up the courage to say, "Please also ask Your Majesty to contribute to the Great Prison Temple all his life, let this old minister who is loyal to my Great Zhou die in the Great Prison Temple, there is a beginning and an end!" ”

Li Ji was moved when he heard this, and after looking at Xie An a few times, he suddenly smiled and said to Kong Wen, "Kong Qing, you are destined to die of old age in the Great Prison Temple!" ”

At this time, Kong Wenzheng looked at Xie An with an extremely complicated gaze, with his slightly trembling beard, it was concluded that this old man must be extremely moved in his heart at this moment, hearing Li Ji's words, he shook his head with a wry smile, and arched his hand and said, "If you can die in office, you can do what you want!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Xie An with a complicated gaze, and the latter smiled heartily.

Looking at Xie An's hearty smile, Li Ji, the son of heaven, secretly sighed in his heart.

In all fairness, for Xie An, Li Ji was extremely important at the beginning, not that he valued Xie An's ability, but it can only be said that he valued the relationship between Xie An and Liang Qiuwu.

Who is Liangqiu Dance?

She is the twelfth generation head of the Liangqiu family, her father is the Marquis of Liangqiu Jingnai Dongzhen, and her ancestor Liangqiu is the Duke of Dongguo, there is no doubt that this woman of the same age as Xie An will inevitably take over the position of her ancestor and father in the future, as one of the four towns in Jijing.

After all, this is the ancestral system that has been handed down for hundreds of years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if Li Ji is the current son of heaven of the Great Zhou, he must not disobey the ancestors.

It is precisely because of the unusual status of the [Four Towns of Jijing] that Li Ji will acquiesce to his fourth son, Li Mao, the king of Xiang, to propose marriage to the Liangqiu family a few years ago, you must know that according to the ancestral system, [Four Towns] are not allowed to have any marital contacts with the royal family of the Great Zhou.

The reason why Li Ji violated the rules set by his ancestors and acquiesced in Li Mao's proposal to the Liangqiu family was because the future head of the Liangqiu family, Liang Qiu Wu, was a daughter, and the husband she chose would inevitably affect the position of the Eastern Army and the position of the Eastern Mansion.

Because of this, after learning about the relationship between Xie An and Liang Qiuwu, Li Ji has been observing and testing Xie An's character, and today, Xie An makes Li Ji, the son of heaven, feel very satisfied.

In his coming, although Xie An is young, stubborn, greedy for money and lustful, and a little scoundrel, he is not like the temperament that a courtier should have, but he is a person who values love and righteousness, and his ability is not small.

Having said that, if Xie An had just taken over the position of the Great Prison Temple, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, would not have regretted it, after all, his original intention was to promote Xie An, but he would not be as heavy as he is now.

I have to say that Xie An left a very good impression on Li Ji, the son of heaven.

"No regrets?" Li Ji asked with a chuckle.

Xie An shook his head and said with a straight face, "This is Wei Chen's heartfelt words, how can you regret it?" ”

"Good!" Li Ji couldn't help but praise, then hesitated slightly, and said in a somewhat teasing tone, "Just now Xie Aiqing said that Xie Aiqing only received fifty taels as a reward for that batch of ownerless wealth, right?" In this case, I will reward Aiqing with 500,000 taels of silver, 100 horses of brocade, and ......"

Xie An gasped when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"In addition, I will give Xie Aiqing ten more beautiful concubines in the palace!"

Huh?

Xie An was stunned, looked at Li Ji in surprise, opened his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty, this last reward is ...... Just don't ......"

"Why?" Li Ji's face showed a little surprise.

Why else?

Didn't you see Wu and Xiangyu staring at me?

Secretly glanced at the second daughter, and saw that the second daughter had a cold face, with a look of [you dare to try], Xie An reluctantly showed a little smile, and said, "The Weichen Mansion is very small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many beautiful women, Your Majesty's kindness, Weichen ......understands it."

With Li Ji's wisdom, after Xie An frequently looked at Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu's two daughters, where would he not understand, smiled meaningfully, and said with a bit of teasing, "Since Xie Aiqing's mansion is very small, there is no way, so let's take five thousand taels of gold from my private treasury and reward you!" - Is Xie Aiqing satisfied? ”

Xie An, who was shyly in his pocket, heard this, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hands and said in a loud voice, "Satisfied, satisfied...... No, no, no, Weichen thank Your Majesty for your grace! ”

"Hehe," Li Ji smiled slightly, and then said with a straight face, "Xie Aiqing, from today onwards, I will grant you the honor of [opening the mansion], and I hope that Aiqing will encourage herself to serve my Da Zhou in the future!" ”

Coming, the privilege of [Kaifu]......

Xie Anxin was secretly happy, he had already learned about this honor from Liang Qiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, how could he not know what kind of honor and power this was, and when he heard this, he hurriedly surrendered his hand and swore and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely do his best for my Great Zhou in the future, and die!" ”

Li Ji smiled slightly, then looked at Li Shou, and after looking at Li Shou deeply, he said in a deep voice, "My son Li Shou has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, and he has been crowned [King of Anping]!" ”

Li Shou bowed to the ground when he heard this, and said without being arrogant or humble, "Thank you, Father!" ”

"Let's get flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Looking at Li Shou, who slowly stood up, Xie An's face was full of surprise.

This......

Gone?

Just a king of peace?

Xie An really couldn't figure it out.

After all, Li Ji, the Son of Heaven, once wanted Xie An to be promoted to the secretary of the Great Prison Temple, even after Xie An resigned, he also rewarded 500,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold, but when it came to his own son Li Shou, Li Ji only added the title of King Anping, and nothing else.

People who don't know, I'm afraid most of them still think that Xie An is Li Ji's son!

Thinking of this, Xie Anxin's joy gradually receded, and he secretly felt worthless for Li Shou.

It can be said that Xie An can be said to have won a big victory this time and returned with a full load.

However, thinking that Li Shou only got a seal from King Anping, Xie An felt a little regretful.

"Are you thinking, His Royal Highness Shou is His Majesty's own son, why does His Majesty favor one over the other and treat His Highness Shou badly?"

Maybe he noticed Xie An's slightly regretful look, and after dispersing, Yin Gong said to Xie An with a light smile.

"......" Xie An hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.

Yin Gong smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Fang Cai is so witty, why is he so confused at this time?" - Your Majesty, this is to protect His Highness Shou......"

Xie An was stunned, and then suddenly realized. (To be continued.) Please search for literature, novels are better and faster!)
