Around three o'clock on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Xie An and Li Shou came to Zhengyangmen in the carriages of Donggong Mansion and Anle Wangfu respectively. {Please search in Baidu, read the full text for the first time}

It's not that I just met it by chance, in fact, Li Shou arrived half a quarter early, and the reason why he was still standing near the palace gate was because he saw that there was no carriage from Donggong's Mansion outside the palace, so he was just waiting for Xie An here.

"Hey!"

From a distance, Xie An saw Li Shou from the carriage window and greeted him.

"Huh!" Li Shou nodded, watched Xie An get out of the carriage, and then glanced at the carriage he was riding, and saw that on the tassels hanging from the four corners of the carriage roof, a wooden sign with the word [tiger] was clearly hung, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Is it really the Donggong Mansion that I am back in?" ――I bought a mansion for 20,000 silver, do you think it is for decoration? ――It is said that in the days when you are not in Jijing, it is your delicate concubine who is helping to take care of the mansion? ”

Xie An rolled his eyes when he heard this, he knew what Li Shou wanted to say, it was nothing more than to make fun of what he said earlier about how bad it was to live in Donggong Mansion, and he borrowed 20,000 silver from Li Shou to buy a mansion, but as a result, his Shaoqing Xie Mansion of the Great Prison Temple was like a furnishing, and everything in the mansion was needed by Yi Yi to help take care of it, so it was not counted, it was full of calculations, and Xie An did not live in his Xie Mansion for a few days.

It's no wonder, who told Liang Qiuwu and Yiyi, the women who had skin relations with him, that both lived in Donggong Mansion, although he Xie An still had the eldest grandson Xiangyu in the mansion, the first beauty of the Great Zhou, but the question was, did Xie An have the courage to touch her?

At least before getting married, Xie An didn't dare.

"Less and nothing to do...... How is the sister-in-law? ”

Seeing Xie An ask about his wife, Li Shou smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wang Dan helps take care of the palace, everything is in order......

"After more than half a year, you didn't ...... That next? Xie An said with a wink.

Li Shou was stunned, looked at Xie An puzzled, and suddenly realized after half a ring, he shook his head angrily and funny, with a little sarcasm and ridicule, and said with a smile, "This king is not as glamorous as Lord Xie...... Let this king guess, well, it should be your delicate concubine, right? ”

"Hey!" Thinking of Fang Cai's passion with Yi Yi in the Donggong Mansion, Xie An couldn't help but grin, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "How is my godson?" Will you open your mouth to shout? He was referring to Li Shou's son, Li Yu, who should be eight or nine months old.

Seeing Xie An suddenly talking about his son, Li Shou glanced at Xie An angrily and said, "When did you recognize your godson?" - I've just seen it, and I don't know how to call people, most of them are like his father, a mediocre person......" At this point, there was a faint disappointment and regret in his eyes.

"Come on, I'm only ** months old, and I can't call people normal!" Patting Li Shou on the shoulder, Xie An walked side by side with him into the Zhengyang Gate and headed towards the palace.

After all, Zhengyangmen is the gate of the Great Zhou Palace, therefore, Xie An and Li Shou had to dismount and walk into the palace, throughout the Great Zhou, I am afraid that only a few old ministers such as Liang Qiu Gong and Yin Gong who have contributed their lives to the Great Zhou Dynasty can enjoy the honor of entering the palace with carriages and horses, in addition, even if Li Shou is the youngest son of Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he does not have this qualification, let alone Xie An, a five-grade official.

Because it is still the end of the first month of winter, therefore, the palace is still a scene of ice and snow, white and expansive, although it is very elegant, but there is no solemn majesty on weekdays, of course, it is the same for Xie An, after all, counting this time, he has only entered the palace twice.

Squeaking and stepping on the snow under his feet, Li Shou suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with a smile, "Xie An, at this time of last year, do you remember what you and I were doing?" ”

Xie An thought for a moment and said with a smile, "I'm probably busy adding stinky water to your ink...... What do you think? This trick? ”

"It stinks!" Li Shou pretended to frown, shook his head again and again, and said with a smile, "At that time, this king was almost mad, and he finally bought a piece of high-grade ink, and you ruined it like that......"

Xie An rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily, "Who told you to change your way all day and night to make me come?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Indeed, at this time last year, although Xie An had arrived at the Anle Palace, his relationship with Li Shou was extremely poor, as if he was born with a disagreement, and tried his best to make the other party ugly, making it difficult for the old housekeeper Fu Bo who was caught in the middle.

With a long sigh, a little reminiscence vaguely appeared in Li Shou's eyes, and he muttered, "Thinking about it now, the original days were not so unbearable......

This kind of look, Xie An is too familiar, since Fu Bo passed away, Li Shou will sometimes show such a look, no wonder, after all, Fu Bo has taken care of Li Shou for more than ten years, in Li Shou's eyes, Fu Bo is closer than his biological father who is now sitting on the dragon couch.

After thinking about it, Xie An felt that he should say a few words of comfort, and just as he was thinking about how to speak, he suddenly saw Li Shou's face showing a little surprise, looked into the distance and said in surprise, "Huh? ”

"How?" Xie An subconsciously raised his head and looked at Li Shou's line of sight, only then did he find that outside the Taihe Hall in the distance, the two old men Yin Gong and Kong Wen were standing there looking at them with a smile, and next to them, there was also Xie An's cheap teacher, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, in addition to the three of them, there was also a middle-aged man with a steady face, this person, Xie An did not recognize.

Seeing this, Li Shou and Xie An hurriedly walked over and bowed.

"Xiao Wang has seen Yin Gong and Master Kong!"

Yin Gong smiled slightly, and also bowed back, "Your Highness is so polite, I don't dare to be a ......."

Beside him, Kong Wen nodded to Li Shou as a greeting, then looked Xie An up and down a few times, and said with a smile, "Boy, how have you been doing for most of the past half a year?" ”

Since he was already familiar with this old man, Xie An didn't see it, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay, it's just that the old man's life is probably not good......"

"Oh?" Kong Wen was stunned, and said in surprise, "How can you see it?" ”

I saw Xie An blinking, and said with a smile, "Just with the old man's stinky chess basket, except for relying on the old man to sell the old and bully the kid, others, the old man probably can't win, right?" - Oh, I guess I can't win! ”

"Stinky boy!" Kong Wen blew his beard angrily and glared, then laughed, and after glancing at Xie An a few times, Zhengse said, "Boy, this time you are also bold, what a big thing you will take on yourself?" - You have to be careful, the prince is trying to deal with you two! ”

Xie An suddenly realized, he realized that Yin Gong, Kong Wen and others were standing here, it turned out that they wanted to warn him and Li Shou in advance, which couldn't help but make Xie An feel a little warm.

Seeing that Xie An didn't speak, Ruan Shaozhou would be wrong, and thought that Xie An was afraid of the power of the crown prince Li Wei's side, and said with a smile, "Don't panic, later, you will have your own master seat and Master Kong to support you...... You call me a teacher, although I have never taught you the slightest knowledge, but it will not be a problem to support the scene for you to say a few words! - By the way, if Chu Xi's old puppet comes forward to harass you later, don't be polite and slap him in the face for me! ”

Rao is Xie An, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard these words, Xie An also knew a little about his cheap master.

He knew that Duke Yin was trying every means to push Ruan Shaozhou to the position of prime minister, but the people on the side of Prince Li Wei were obviously also staring at this sensitive position, so the two groups of people were very unhappy.

In all fairness, although Xie An is not interested in this kind of intrigue, in the final analysis, he is obviously still biased towards Ruan Shaozhou, after all, the two are a teacher-student relationship, if Ruan Shaozhou becomes the prime minister, he Xie An will naturally rise to the top.

After living in Jijing for a full year and a half, Xie An has long clearly understood that if there is no tough backstage, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Jijing, let alone become an official in the court.

Although the emperors of the past dynasties have never liked their courtiers to form parties for personal gain, why are there still many factions in the past dynasties?

It's very simple, because a single person can't gain a foothold in the DPRK, let alone want to get the right to speak.

Take him Xie An as an example, if it weren't for Liang Qiuwu, Yin Gong, Kong Wen, Ruan Shaozhou, Lu Gong and others secretly protecting him, there is no doubt that he would have been squeezed out by Prince Li Wei's people for fake public and private interests, and even his life could not be guaranteed, how could he still be his Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple?

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for a single person's power to gain a firm foothold in the Great Zhou court, and he can only join a certain political camp, and now, although Xie An has not made a choice himself, the ministers of the court and the central government have almost regarded him as a member of the eldest grandson's family.

Of course, Xie An did not have the slightest reluctance in this regard, after all, the eldest grandson family did help him a lot, especially the eldest grandson Xiangyu, if it wasn't for this crazy woman who was idle and bored and secretly tossed some things out, how could he Xie An have such an opportunity to make a marriage contract with the [Yanhu Ji] Liang Qiu Wu, the head of the [Four Ji]?

It can be said that if there was no eldest grandson Xiangyu, he Xie An would probably still be a scholar in Li Shou's Mansion at this time, and he was worried all day long, beware of the prince Li Wei sending people to plot.

Perhaps because of this, Xie An hopes that the eldest grandson Xiangyu can also become his closest person......

Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but show a slight chuckle, looked at Ruan Shaozhou and grinned, and said with a smile, "Teacher, don't worry, in terms of the ability to play tricks, the kid is quite conceited!" ”

Ruan Shaozhou chuckled and nodded.

At this time, Xie An glanced at the middle-aged official beside Ruan Shaozhou, and saw that this person had been looking at him with unswerving and angry eyes, and couldn't help but be a little stunned in his heart, and asked tentatively, "This is ......?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the middle-aged official snort coldly and said coldly, "Sun Jing, the head of the military department!" - Why, doesn't Lord Xie recognize this official? ”

Eldest grandson Jing?

The biological father of the eldest grandson Xiangyu?

Xie Anxin was startled, and subconsciously shrank his head, where would he not be able to figure out the key.

Sure enough, after looking at it coldly for a few times, Eldest Sun Jing said in a deep voice, "That girl, is she still in your house?" - Shameless! ”

"This ......" Xie An secretly glanced at Duke Yin and Ruan Shaozhou, and saw that the two of them showed embarrassment, and his heart suddenly cleared, and he said, "Returning to Lord Shilang, Xiangyu ............" Speaking of this, he suddenly saw that Changsun Jing showed a little anger, and quickly changed his words, saying, "Ling Qianjin has never lived in the Xiaguan Mansion, but in the Donggong Mansion."

"Donggong Mansion ......" Eldest Sun Jing frowned slightly, the unswerving look in his eyes receded a little, and said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell that girl, tell her to come back to the mansion for me before sunset today, otherwise it will ......."

Speaking of this, a crisp sneer was heard in the distance.

"How else could you do it?"

Everyone was stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction where a sneer came, only to find that Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu were slowly walking towards them, and it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu who spoke.

Looking at the increasingly angry look in the eyes of the eldest grandson Jing, Xie Anxin secretly smiled bitterly.

Auntie, you couldn't have come at the right time!

Just as Xie An was secretly praying, the anger in the eyes of the eldest grandson Jing increased, and he looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu and reprimanded angrily, "Son, he has not yet left the cabinet, and he has been away from Beijing for half a year, so this Xie An is fooling around...... Ruining my eldest grandson's family, Tian is shameless! ”

Seeing that the eldest Sun Jing was angry with Xie An, Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly, a little displeased.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sneered and said lightly, "Ah, it's really shameless!" In that case, let's not have my daughter! ”

"You...... What did you say?! Hearing this, the eldest grandson Jing was furious and glared at his daughter fiercely.

"Didn't the eldest grandson squire hear that?" Eldest Sun Xiangyu's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "I said, from today onwards, I am no longer from the Eldest Sun family!" ”

"Son!" Eldest Sun Jing raised his hand and was about to hit Eldest Sun Xiangyu in the face, Liang Qiuwu frowned and grabbed his hand.

"General Liang Qiu, what do you mean by this? - The housework of my eldest grandson's family, it's not the turn of the Liangqiu family to interfere! As he spoke, Changsun Jing struggled violently, and his right hand broke free from the restraints.

In fact, Liang Qiu Wu was a little hesitant about this kind of thing, especially after hearing what Changsun Jing said, he was even more embarrassed in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Yin Gong stood up, looked at the eldest grandson Jing and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Jing'er, the palace is important, and you can't make a mistake!" - Still don't stop?! ”

Seeing his father speak, Changsun Jing barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and after glaring at Xie An and Changsun Xiangyu with hatred, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Looking at the back of Changsun Jing leaving, Ruan Shaozhou smiled bitterly and said to Yin Gong, "Master, Brother Zikang this time, I'm afraid he really moved his liver fire...... Brother Zikang in his mouth refers to Changsun Jing.

"Hmm......" Yin Gong nodded slowly, glanced at Kong Wen who was watching coldly, and said with a smile, "Call you old guy a joke!" ”

Kong Wen smiled slightly and shook his head, after all, it was a family matter, and this old man obviously did not intend to interfere.

"Okay, it's not early, Your Majesty announced that I will wait for the noon dynasty...... Just as he was speaking, Yin Gong was suddenly stunned, looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu's empty hands, and asked in surprise, "Good grandson, where is your mother's fan?" ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly, "When you hit Qin Pass, you didn't miss and broke ......."

When Yin Gong heard this, a little sudden realization appeared on his face, and he muttered, "I see, so it is......" As he spoke, he frowned and asked hesitantly, "Why did you miss it?" ”

The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, glanced at Xie An.

"......" Yin Gong was stunned, with a little consternation, a little sudden realization, turned his head, and looked at Xie An with a solemn expression, but Xie An was covered with cold sweat.

After half a ring, Yin Gong said with a smile, "Good grandson, can my grandfather ask the craftsman to make another pair for you with a lot of gold?" ”

"No need, the wicked person who caused me to break that fan has promised to use the best jade and the best craftsman to make a folding fan for ......me," said the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Xie An intentionally or unintentionally, which made the cold sweat on Xie An's forehead even more diligent.

"Oh, that's it......" glanced at Xie An, and then at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Yin Gong smiled, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the old man will not have much to do......" As he said, he looked at Xie An and said meaningfully, "Xie An, when you are free, remember to come to the old man's house to sit and ......"

Xie An couldn't hear the deep meaning of Yin Gong's words, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "If Yin Gong doesn't bother the kid, the kid will come to see ...... another day."

"Early, early! - Alright, it's getting late, I'll wait to enter the temple! Looking at Xie An with a smile and nodding, Yin Gong turned around and walked in the direction of Taihe Palace.

Under the narrow gaze of Kong Wen, Ruan Shaozhou, and Li Shou, Xie An secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked Liang Qiuwu and Eldest Sun Xiangyu in a low voice, "You are also here?" ”

"Cheer for you! - Why, don't you want to see you? It may be because the encounter with his biological father was too bad, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu's mood was really not good, and his tone was still a little impulsive.

Seeing this, Liang Qiuwu gently patted the back of Changsun Xiangyu's hand, and then said softly to Xie An, "Originally, it was a little inappropriate for me and Xiangyu to come to the court meeting at this time, but I am worried that you will be harassed by the villain, so let's come to find out!" ”

"That's ......" Xie An nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, although he was a little favoritous, but he had to admit that Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu could come for him, which made Xie An feel more comfortable and relieved than Yin Gong, Kong Wen, Ruan Shaozhou and others.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Xie An felt as if a strange wind was blowing in his face, and when he looked up, he found that the prince Li Wei was looking at him viciously with a gaze that was eager to kill him.

In addition, dozens of courtiers in the hall also looked at him with all kinds of complicated eyes, as well as Liang Qiu Wu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu behind him.

Seeing those pairs of eyes staring at him, Rao is a thick-skinned person like Xie An, under the eyes of such a crowd, he didn't feel a little weak, and whispered a little uneasily, "So many people? ――Is this the case with the court meetings on weekdays? ”

Liang Qiuwu shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "On weekdays, there are at most more than ten ministers from the six ministries of the three provinces...... If there is nothing important in the imperial court, there is generally no noon court! -- Today's noon dynasty is set up for you and His Royal Highness Shou! ”

"I see...... Xie An licked his lips, only felt that his throat was a little dry, no wonder, you must know that this is the first time he has set foot in the Taihe Palace, and he is in a formal court meeting, which is not as easy as when he participated in the palace examination in the Baohe Palace, after all, the person standing in the palace right now is not a student, it is a major minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even Liang Qiu Wu's status from a second-rank official has become inconspicuous here, not to mention him Xie An.

Perhaps noticing Xie An's nervous expression, the eldest grandson Xiangyu frowned and said in a low voice, "The prince's gang is staring at you!" - If you lose face, I won't spare you! ”

Xie An couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, don't put pressure on me!" ”

Eldest Sun Xiangyu shook his head angrily, lowered his voice and said, "In short, don't be nervous!" - Remember, you have persuaded 120,000 rebels, will these people here be more terrible than 120,000 rebels? - If this doesn't work, think about that Chen Bei, you are the only one who has escaped in his hands! ”

While Liang Qiuwu looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with a complicated expression, Xie An took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.

I have to say that the words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu did have a great effect, which made Xie An's uneasy and nervous mood gradually calm down.

Also, in terms of horror, these people in the hall are tied together, where is the [one-man army] Chen Bei who makes people feel more afraid and hopeless?

You must know that that man almost single-handedly reversed the victory and defeat of the entire Chang'an battle, if it wasn't for Liang Qiuwu leading the Eastern Army to support in time, if it wasn't for the melodious flute sound that came from nowhere to call the man, it is not yet known who will die!

And at this moment, an old eunuch walked in outside the hall and shouted in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty has arrived, and the ministers are knocking!" ”

Hearing this, the courtiers in the palace stood up separately, even Liang Qiu Wu also walked to his place, as for the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he stood behind his grandfather Yin Gong, after all, she had no official position, and there was no place for her in the front row.

With a sparse sound, except for the crown prince Li Wei and Yin Gong, the rest of the people bowed to the room, as for Li Shou and Xie An, they bowed to the center of the hall, after all, he was the protagonist of today's noon dynasty.

With his head down, staring at the golden silk nan-textured wooden planks laid in the main hall, Xie An faintly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, and then got closer and closer, until a pair of luxurious boots appeared beside him.

Li Ji, the son of heaven in the Great Zhou, actually walked between him and Li Shou, and what surprised Xie An even more was that for some reason, when he walked up to him and Li Shou, Li Ji, the son of heaven, suddenly stopped.

With all the speculations in his heart, Xie An secretly raised his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven in front of him, but was stunned to find that he was looking at himself with a smile, and his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Fun little guys!

Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, obviously also noticed Xie An's small movements, smiled like a smile, and then took a deep look at Li Shou who was kneeling in front of him, turned around and walked towards the Dragon Court, and after sitting down, he raised his hand and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

With the words of gratitude from everyone in the hall, Xie An stood up, although Liang Qiuwu had reminded him many times before that as a courtier, he was not allowed to look directly at the Son of Heaven in the Dragon Court, but Xie An still couldn't help but look at this Great Zhou Dynasty Emperor with that little bit of afterglow.

It can be seen that compared to the previous time in the Baohe Palace, Li Ji's current complexion is obviously much worse, it may be that he is addicted to alcohol, he may be busy with government affairs, or he may be really old, it is hard to imagine that this old man who has become more and more prosperous has single-handedly destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty thirty years ago.

To tell the truth, this emperor gave Xie An a very good impression, in Xie Anlai, Li Ji is not only wise, but also has the strength and mind of the people, he is really a majestic and virtuous monarch, it is hard to imagine that this king was once a tyrant in the eyes of the Jiangnan people, and once issued a strict order, so that the southern army almost slaughtered the people in the entire Jinling City.

Just when Xie An secretly sighed, suddenly, he noticed that a courtier stood up and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

Xie Anxin was slightly startled, he remembered that this person was one of the group of courtiers standing around the crown prince Li Wei.

It's coming......

Xie An took his heart away, and his expression became much more solemn.

He knew that he had merits and faults in this trip, and even if he had spare money to build a valuable fan for his eldest grandson Xiangyu, he would give it a go! (To be continued.) Please remember this station ticket wind/et)
