Chapter 122: The Monarch and the Minister

Pei Huai was quite grateful for this matter. He said, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid he'd be held accountable again. Unintentionally, when she caught a glimpse of her sinking head, a small piece of snow-white thin neck was revealed, and Ye Linchen's voice trembled slightly.

took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, her eyes showed sneer, "What did he thank me for, in the end, he still has to thank Your Highness." However, there is one thing I still want to tell Your Highness, the surname of the person who connects with this merchant is Lin, and there is only one family surnamed Lin in Beijing. ”

Qin Yan obviously saw the movements between the two people, and his mind was all on Ting Liao at the moment, and he had no time to take care of the two of them.

In addition, Ting Liao is cute and cute, both in temperament and other aspects, he is quite in love with him, and he can't put it down at the moment. Seeing that the two were talking about the shop that Xie Yaoguang said that day, they simply didn't care. Anyway, if there is a problem, Xie Yaoguang will come to ask him.

"Is it the Crown Princess's family who is managing this trade route? In this way, there may even be a prince behind this to help cover up? Ye Linchen's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger, but Xie Yaoguang still found a trace of hidden anger in his eyes.

Weigh a little. Xie Yaoguang picked out the key words and said, "Your Highness is smart, but I don't mean to tell you this clue alone. The more lively it is, the more interesting it is. ”

His eyes paused slightly, and Ye Linchen's eyes showed doubt.

"Xiao Xie wants King Shou to take the lead. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and both of them have to go on endlessly, and they will not let go if they catch each other's mistakes. The previous Douliu Department can borrow the emperor's hand, but this time it can only be seen that they kill each other. Qin Yan suddenly took over the conversation, stared at Ye Linchen for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "What does Your Highness think Your Majesty will do at this time?" ”

"Father and Emperor Youshang's way of balance, if only the Lin family starts alone. The father and the emperor would think that King Shou instructed Yaoguang to investigate the matter, so in order to ensure that the father and the emperor would not have such a move, the best idea was to let the two families have irrelevant disputes. Ye Linchen thought for a while before answering.

He remembered that the imperial brother had answered a similar question in front of Mrs. Gu, but at that time, the imperial brother didn't seem to answer this, and he had the impression that Mrs. Gu was not particularly satisfied with the imperial brother's answer. Just let the royal brother go back and think about this question again and answer it again.

Later, whether the imperial brother answered Gu Taifu or not, he couldn't remember too clearly, but he remembered that the imperial brother kept talking about what was the best answer.

The memory is so long ago that Ye Linchen can't remember it for a while. On the other hand, Qin Yan seemed to be quite satisfied with his answer, with a little imperceptible smile on his face.

"Your Highness's mind is lively, and I am very satisfied with this answer. You have inherited the style of your royal brother very well. Looking at Ye Linchen for a long time, he took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve cage and handed it to him, and said in a deep voice: "I hope Your Highness, you will not live up to the expectations of the old people." ”

These words made Ye Linchen feel quite surprised. However, he also reflected the meaning of Qin Yan's words at the moment, did Qin Yan tell him again not to live up to the emperor's wishes? took the letterhead, glanced at Qin Yan gratefully, and respectfully waved towards Qin Yan.

Seeing this, Xie Yaoguang saw a smile on his lips.

At this point, Xie Yaoguang beckoned to the maid outside the court, motioning for her to come over and take Ting Liao to the garden in the mansion for a walk. After all, the next topic is not to let a child know, Ting Liao also knew that several elders had important matters to discuss and say goodbye to a few people, and left with the maid.

Ordered to serve new tea left and right, Xie Yaoguang smiled with a smile, but his eyes showed coldness.

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, I came all the way from Jixia Academy, and I heard that the people along the way praised you. It seems that Your Highness, you have gained a lot in the past six months. Qin Yan motioned for the two to sit down and smiled warmly.

The people are the people, who knows what royal disputes and court political discord affect them. As far as they are concerned, anyone who can sympathize with the people and punish traitors and corrupt officials for them is a good person, and those who seek their well-being are even better officials.

Ye Linchen had just come back from Yanmen and had done several very happy things, and he liked it more than the other two princes.

"I didn't do anything, but they all happened to be in my hands. It gave me a chance. Ye Linchen replied to Qin Yan seriously, but Qin Yan's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he heard his words.

Seeing Qin Yan glaring at him, Xie Yao smiled quite a little on his face, and slowly pulled his lips and smiled: "Your Highness, why do you miss me more and more in this tone, but it is true that they are useless, the crown prince and King Shou really raise a bunch of waste." ”

"Tsk, no matter how much you thank you, you can't say that they are waste, right? The worst thing is that they don't move cleanly, leaving people with a handle. Qin Yan glanced at the two of them, lowered his head to drink tea, and suddenly picked a topic, "In the end, those two are still using the wrong person." ”

Although Qin Yan has been living in seclusion in Jixia Academy all these years, he is not incapable of political affairs, but he is not as comfortable as Xie Yaoguang. He still knows how much he should know, not to mention that the letters sent to him by the disciples who have worshiped him over the years will also mention more or less about the changes in the government and government, which is nothing more than an indignation.

"What the master taught me is that it is the disciples who say it wrong." Xie Yaoguang had a little narrowness in his eyes, raised his sleeves to cover his lips and laughed lowly.

Qin Yan didn't pay attention to her, but looked at Ye Linchen with a smile in his eyes and said softly: "Your Highness must have also heard the answer I just asked Tingliao about the people's nobles and gentlemen, and the society is secondary." Your Highness, your reputation among the people is not bad now, and the rest depends on your own means. The letterhead I just gave to Your Highness is some information that I have put together, and Your Highness may wish to take a closer look when you go back, I think it will be of great help to you. ”

Hearing this, Ye Linchen nodded.

"Teacher, you said everything I wanted to say. What shall I say? Xie Yaoguang shook his head and sighed regretfully, his expression slightly condensed, "Your Highness has been in contact with Xia Fuke recently?"

"Recently, the household department counted the account books, and he seems to be very busy. Why are you looking for him?" Hearing this, Ye Linchen raised his eyes and asked her in his tone.

Xie Yaoguang stood up with his sleeves brushed up, and his words were mixed with a little coldness, "Tsk, if Your Highness is free, you can go to the dock with Xia Fu to go around." It won't be long before there is a lot of excitement to see. ”

Hearing this, Ye Linchen had a smile on his face, he knew that Xie Yaoguang had probably taken a trap and waited for someone to take the bait. And the benefits of this trap are inexplicable.

"Your Highness, this kid is very talented, I like it very much. I will leave the capital the day after tomorrow, and if you agree, I will take him with me. Qin Yan's tone was gentle, and he caught a glimpse of Ye Linchen's expression as usual before he continued: "If Your Highness is really not at ease, I will let her go down the mountain every once in a while." ”

"It is a blessing for Mr. to be able to take a fancy to him. Besides, with my friendship with the imperial brother, I am very relieved. After saying that, Ye Linchen leaned over and bowed, and his tone was inexplicably grateful.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yan only smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing that it was not early, Xie Yaoguang instructed the maid to pass the meal.

By the way, let Hai Dongqing, who was only saved a few days ago, also bring over, and as soon as Hai Dongqing saw Ye Linchen, he let out a loud roar, and stood on Xie Yaoguang's shoulder with a fierce momentum. I caught a glimpse that Ye Linchen had just picked up a piece of meat and rushed over, and flew to the beam as soon as he picked up the meat.

Everyone on the field couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even Xie Yaoguang had a smile in his eyes.

"Ling Hai, don't make trouble, come down." Xie Yaoguang shouted at Hai Dongqing on the beam.

Hai Dongqing, who was called Ling Hai, didn't have the slightest intention of coming down, and after a few loud sounds, he flew out.

After dinner, the two left. Ye Linchen knew that Xie Yaoguang was not in good health, so he didn't let her send it. insisted that she stay in the house.

After the two left, Qin Yan stared at Xie Yaoguang and said in a rather heavy tone, "I didn't expect you to choose the most difficult path to be the king." ”

"Because I have no choice. Although this road is difficult, it is also the best one," Xie Yao's eyes swept with a touch of helplessness.

Ye Linchen is actually not rigid and inflexible. He just kept sticking to the last light in his heart, and although he didn't do some things, his heart was clearer.

Today's peace is just because of the mutilation and whitewashing, and the inside is still rotten by moths. If you want to dissect it, you have to pay a price.

"Ting Liao, I will take it away, and I will relieve your worries. The rest of the things still depend on yourself, I believe in your vision and ability, but there is only one thing I still want to tell you, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and if there is more sludge, it will be flooded, and what is most needed above the court is balance. You can't use it because the water is turbid, and you can't use it because the water is clear. ”

The meaning of Qin Yan's words was obvious, Xie Yaoguang and he glanced at each other and finally sank their eyes, she would keep these words in her heart.

But she also has to upset this balance and turn everything into the light in order to break all these shackles and unleash a fresh source of power to complete what she has been trying to do for so many years.

On the second day, the news of Qin Yan's acceptance of the court and his apprenticeship spread in Beijing. Most people were unfamiliar with the name, and only a few remembered who this Tingliao was.

It was the little boy that Xie Yaoguang used to defeat Fang Yuxuan, the champion of Xidi, who thought that this kid could get out of the court for ten lifetimes, but he didn't expect that he could provoke Qin Yan to look at him differently.

But they say that there is no way to do it, who will let the child have a good life. Not only did Xie Yaoguang help him, but also Qin Yan favored him. Despite this, there are still people who wonder if Qin Yanzhu is all accepted as disciples because of Xie Yaoguang's influence.

No matter how much these people talk about it, it's just talking. At dawn in the early hours of one day, a carriage quietly drove out of the back door of Xie's house and went straight to the city gate. Stopped not far from the city gate, and it was not until Ye Linchen came with Ting Liao that Xie Yaoguang lifted the curtain and dismounted.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Jixia Academy is a good place to go."

The two stood side by side and watched the carriage disappear in front of them, and a smile bloomed in Xie Yaoguang's eyes.
