Chapter 377: Hypocrisy and False Righteousness
Cangzhou is a little far away from Gusu, and Xia Fu admires Xie Yaoguang more and more along the way. I just think that in addition to her profound knowledge, her insights are also very unique. I can always give myself the right solution to the problem when I have doubts. Most of the time it's just a few words, but it's enough for him.
After going back and forth, the two of them also became acquainted. After hearing that Xie Yaoguang was proficient in chess, he liked to invite her to enjoy tea and play a game together. However, he didn't dare to stay by Xie Yaoguang's side often, after all, His Royal Highness King Ding had privately warned him many times that Miss Xie was not in good health and needed to rest more, so don't bother him if you are fine.
After a long time, he dared to talk to Xie Yaoguang often, and he could only discuss government affairs while playing against him while discussing government affairs. So much so that when there was still a month away from the capital, Ye Linchen often came over to listen to them discuss government affairs or games.
After he noticed a hint of clues, he didn't dare to disturb Xie Yaoguang anymore. Ye Linchen, who had achieved his goal, looked at him with a gaze that had always been extremely gentle, and as for Miss Xie, he heard that when facing His Royal Highness King Ding, Miss Xie always smiled very helplessly, but there was a faint sadness hidden in his gaze, which made people look sad.
"Your Highness, we are about to go back. I don't know how the wind is blowing in the capital now. Xie Yaoguang leaned against the window and put his hand on his forehead, his eyes fell on the passing ships and sighed, "The wind blows down the plane tree, and others judge the short and long." ”
Putting the cloak in his hand on Xie Yaoguang's back, Ye Linchen said softly, "No matter how the wind blows, as long as it hasn't stopped." None of us can escape, can we? ”
As soon as the words fell, Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and smiled undeniably. As long as the wind does not stop, none of them can leave the game, and this game is just beginning. Although the henchmen around King Shou were eliminated, there was a Xue family who was still alive beside him, a Xu family who was pointing from the side, and a Wu Gootai, who was currently neutral, hiding in the dark. Together, even Xie Yaoguang had to brace himself to deal with it with all his might.
"Your Highness, please be careful when you return. The Xue family suffered such a big loss in our hands this time, but I am afraid that they will not give up easily, and the Xu family is even more mysterious. Glancing at the cloak on his body, Xie Yaoguang slowed down his tone but was still implicitly worried.
As if thinking of something, Ye Linchen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and teased: "Okay." Yaoyao, you have paved so many roads for me, but now that I think about it carefully, I have been sitting back and enjoying the success and not helping at all, which really makes me feel sorry for it. ”
"Your Highness, where is this? You are my lord, and I am your advisor, and it is my duty to serve you. Why don't you want to go?" Xie Yaoguang glanced at him with a smile, and his tone was narrow, "If Your Highness really feels that you don't want to go, how about sealing me after you ascend the throne?"
"What's so hard about that? As long as you want to share this world with you, I am willing to share it with you, and I think the position of Zhongshu Ling is really condescending for you. Ye Linchen, who took over the conversation, looked at it with a smile, and his tone also carried the meaning of promoting narrowness.
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang didn't speak, turned his head, his eyes continued to fall outside the window, raised his head and chuckled.
The group arrived in Gusu after the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order to show their love for this son. Emperor Li personally took the hundred officials to the gate of Chengtianmen to greet him, of course, Xie Yaoguang had bid farewell to Ye Linchen earlier, and led Qingluan and them back to Xie's house. Originally, she was serving a secret order this time, so naturally there was no need to expose it in front of people.
The entrance of Chengtianmen is very lively, and hundreds of officials stand on both sides of the royal road with golden crowns and red robes or purple robes and jade belts, all with respectful faces. After the bell and drum sounded, Ye Linchen, who was wearing a crown of nine and a prince's crown, came slowly under the gaze of everyone. Even if he was looked at by so many people, he still looked calm and composed, and in the eyes of the ministers, his favor couldn't help but deepen a lot.
In the past, everyone ignored this unfavored and long-term exiled king because of the crown prince and King Shou. He's only been back for two years, and he's already done so many jaw-dropping things. It can be seen that this king is not mediocre and incompetent, but he has always been in a state of pearl dust, and now he can finally show his talents in front of the world.
Not to mention anything else, just this horse can fight, and the horse can govern, which is quite the style of His Majesty when he was young.
Although King Shou, who was standing next to Emperor Li, had a smile on his face, his gaze was extremely cold, staring directly at Ye Linchen, who was coming slowly, looking like he was eager to eat flesh and blood. If it weren't for Emperor Li's presence, I was afraid that I would have to devour my life alive.
"Linchen, you have done a good job in all matters of this disaster relief. I intend to change your title to King Jin as a reward. In addition, I will give you the power to open the palace and the three divisions, what do you want? Emperor Li helped him up with a smile, and his tone was extremely soft.
King Shou on the side was stunned when he heard this, looking at Emperor Li in disbelief, while the other courtiers bowed their heads and whispered. The land of Longxing in the Great Calendar is in Jinyang, and now there is no owner in the East Palace. Emperor Li suddenly changed the title of King Ding to King Jin at this juncture, although on the surface there seems to be no difference between the two, but the difference between the words is different.
The name of the king is intended to stabilize the country, and anyone can hold the position. And there will only be one King of Jin, and more importantly, Emperor Li actually gave him the power to open the palace and the three divisions, you must know that no one has had such power even if it was the prince and the king of Shou before. As soon as such a will came out of Emperor Li's mouth, it caused an uproar.
"Son, I don't deserve this reward from my father. If your father wants to reward him, please reward Xia Fu. Ye Linchen, who was also stunned, only reacted for a while, "I also ask my father to take back his fate." ”
After listening to Emperor Li's words, how could Ye Linchen not react Emperor Li was going to push him to the fire to roast, or even provoke King Shou's anger.
Hearing this, Emperor Li waved his hand and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and praised: "Xia Fu's side, I will naturally reward him." You deserve it. You have made such a great contribution this time, if it weren't for your plan to save the people, I am afraid that I will make an edict against myself. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to answer. After thinking about it again, Ye Linchen shook at Emperor Li and thanked Emperor Li for his reward. And King Shou, who was standing aside, couldn't hide his resentment in his eyes, but when he noticed that Emperor Li was looking at him, he quickly covered it up, and walked towards Ye Linchen with a smile.
The two brothers greeted each other with their own concerns, and Emperor Li looked at the two brothers getting along in harmony, with a satisfied smile on his face.
