Imperial Study,

Originally, the position where Yan Huang habitually sat was still empty.

Below, another table and a chair were set up, and the prince sat there, after all, Lao Tzu was still there, and it was impossible for the prince to sit in that position.

Whether it is organizing a court meeting or a small meeting today, the crown prince is carrying out his work with the newly placed second main position.

For the son of man and the minister, if he doesn't even understand this bit of evasion and doesn't do it, it would be too much to underestimate the terrifying prestige that Emperor Yan has accumulated over the years.

Below the crown prince, there are a number of ministers, all of whom can talk and discuss.

Ji Chengjue sat in the first position under his left hand, playing with a snuffbox in his hand.

The new round of confrontation has just ended, and the result is still that no one can really overpower anyone.

The candidate for the new Taishou of Nanwang City has become a dead knot of collision between the two brothers.

The prince is accustomed to moisturizing things silently, and since the time he was in prison, he has actually given him face, and he will also give face to the bottom, that is, his sixth brother, in most of the previous affairs, he basically maintained the same pace as himself, so when the sixth child suddenly showed an extremely tough posture in this matter, the prince was a little at a loss for a while.

After all, the prince of the prison country, who seems to be beautiful, is actually walking on thin ice, trembling, and most importantly, the role of this younger brother you are facing is constantly being strengthened in the increasingly severe financial background of Dayan;

Of course, you can use the authority of the prison country to do thunderous things, or cut or beat or suppress, this cannot fail, unless the Yan Emperor in the back garden suddenly releases words, unless his sixth brother suddenly "jumps off the wall";

Under the rules of the game, the prince is almost undefeated;

After all, this is no longer a confrontation between two princes, but a wrestling between a prince and an existence dressed in the cloak of monarchy, and if the former does not take extreme measures, the latter is almost guaranteed to win.

But for the latter, this coat of monarchy also makes him very jealous, and he can't still aim to bring down the other party like the prince did, at this time, he has to take care of the overall situation.

After all, forcing his sixth brother into a dead end and forcing him to comply, who can take over at this time, especially the affairs of the household department?

knows that the current finances are a rotten pit, except for letting his sixth brother continue to maintain it, other people don't have the ability and even less the guts.

These ministers here, in fact, everyone also has their own opinions, this kind of view, regardless of the position, in fact, these people, don't look at the importance, but at this time, they are the most sensitive.

Because once things change, His Majesty in the back garden may deal with his two sons, and the stakes will be too big, so it is an optimal solution to deal with a few courtiers to express his attitude.

Therefore, at this time, everyone can only abandon the door and the view of support, and try to start from the perspective of public heart, there are those who support the crown prince and those who support the six princes.

The two sides are at such a stalemate.

Fortunately, at this time,

Jaefu Zhao Jiulang is finally here.

The prince stood up to show his respect;

The rest of the ministers also got up, Zaifu, the head of the hundred officials, this kind of dignity must be given.

Ji Lao Liu was the last to get up, and after getting up, he left his seat, saluted the prince, and then saluted Zhao Jiulang:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what Lord Zaisuke means, is what I mean, the position of Nanwang City is too guarded, sooner rather than later, and it must be decided quickly in order to settle the hearts of the people there."

It's a mule or a horse, and then let's talk about it after pulling the mill first.

But this is actually very strange, in this case, you should be softer earlier, can't you?

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Zaifu, forgive me, my household, there are still a lot of headaches to take care of, you can continue to discuss."

"Sixth brother." The prince spoke, "It's not bad for a while. ”

Ji Lao Liu didn't pay attention, as if he didn't hear it at all, and walked out of the imperial study directly.

The crown prince, who was sitting in the first seat, looked gloomy because of this.

Zhao Jiulang, who was sitting in the first seat under the right hand seat specially vacated for himself, took the tea offered by Li Yinglian,

took a sip,

Slowly;

"Bensuke, agree with the proposition of the Sixth Highness."

……

The situation in the court is weird, and the authorities are often confused, let alone those who see flowers in the fog.

But the good thing is,

The teahouse gentlemen in Yanjing City talk idlers, they have their own set of substitution logic, and they can tell you some things that everyone is confused about.

Anyway, in the end, most things go through more games, no matter how many trade-offs there are, it is nothing more than one or two, which also means that a small half of the mouth-wrenched idlers can guess it, and they are crowned with the title of Mr. Insider, which is sought after.

As for those who guessed wrong, they are in a hurry and wait for the next opportunity.

The Qianren have always said that the Yan people are barbarians, and they have described the Yan Emperor as a model of a one-man thief, especially when a horse stepped on the door valve, it was described as a life and death image, but in fact, in Dayan, the situation of being convicted for words is far less than that of the Qianguo.

The people of Yanjing City, at the foot of the imperial city, this habit of chattering and having fun cannot be changed, and the imperial court is actually indulgent most of the time.

He Chu likes to go to the teahouse to listen to people talk about books or listen to people talk about topics that are causing controversy and struggle in the court after closing the stall, and every time, he can listen to them with relish;

After listening, he went back to tell his father, so that his father would not smoke himself with the soles of his shoes, and scolded him for wasting tea money for pastime at will.

Although the He family has a grandson named "Ji Chuanye", the life of the He family's father and son is actually still the original style, and there has been no real change.

oh

He Chu said a few months ago,

The two sides were matched by matchmakers,

Both parents nodded in agreement,

Just as she was about to go through the process, the woman suddenly fell ill and died.

On the day of the funeral,

Old He Tou asked He Chu to send two pigs over, and asked He Chu to help manage the funeral of the woman's family.

Then, Lao He Tou took He Chu to a mountain outside Yanjing City to tell fortunes.

The monks in the temple and Taoist temple are too expensive, and they only charge you a few pennies to sign in name, which means something, but then they will immediately take out a red paper book for you, and then tell you that the sesame oil is added, and how much depends on your heart.

And when you glance at it, you will find that the least amount of sesame oil after the name on it is enough to make your flesh ache for a long time.

Fortunately, on the mountain crossing, there are not many people who make a living by setting up stalls and telling fortunes, especially during temple fairs.

Lao He took his son and chose a fortune-telling stall with the least popularity in the corner, because it was easy to bargain.

Cut to the right psychological price, and the other party guarantees that there is no addition, no appetite, no riddles, no leakage, and I don't want to say that you need to spend extra money to make up for the body.

life

That's it.

The fortune teller, who was so hungry that he was left with skin and bones, stared at He Chu for a long time with eyes that seemed to be hungry to glow.

Finally smiled:

"In the past two years, there has been no blessing."

He Chu sat up straight, and Old He asked directly, "Why?" ”

The fortune teller said:

"There's someone else in the family who wants to use it."

He Chu opened his mouth wide,

God!

Lao He slapped the fortune-telling table,

Yell;

"Fart!"

Then, the price that was already very low was cut by 30%, love it or not!

afterwards

Old He Tou returned home with He Chu.

After returning home, Lao He Tou didn't cook, He Chu personally cooked and brought it up, but Lao He Tou didn't eat, so he kept sitting like that, in the courtyard, until it was dark.

He Chu shouted countless times, Dad, will you eat? Dad, will you go back to the house and rest?

Old He was indifferent.

In the end, there was no way,

He Chu could only put a blanket on his father, and he leaned on his father's side, wrapped in a quilt for one night.

Wait until the next morning,

The old man suddenly burst into tears,

kicked He Chu, who was still snoring and thought that he didn't need to go out of the stall today,

Scolded:

"Sun thief!"

"Hey!"

He Chu, who was demoted, still had to respond.

"You're going to suffer for two years, right? Your sister-in-law's body is again, your brother-in-law, you have to ......"

He Chu hurriedly said:

"Okay, Daddy!"

Lao He nodded and patted his head, the old man who hadn't slept all night still took his son out of the stall.

He Chu has always been very happy, he doesn't think that he has gained anything by suffering for another two years, it is nothing more than not being able to marry a daughter-in-law for two years, what is this?

Even, this eldest brother is quite happy, happy that he seems to have really helped his brother-in-law a little.

today

Back home,

Daddy is sharpening the pig-killing knife,

He Chu told the stories and stories he heard today to his own Lao Tzu,

As he spoke, he stared at the knife in his hand. Fun reading little books

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Lao He didn't take a knife to his son, but was a little surprised:

"Didn't you say that our son-in-law and the prince have a good relationship?"

The relationship is good, it is a recent rumor, saying that after Emperor Yan entered the back garden and was raised, the prince and the sixth highness sincerely cooperated for the sake of Dayan.

"It's normal for brothers to quarrel and quarrel, right?" He Chu guessed.

When Lao He heard this, he felt that it made sense and nodded.

After the knife was sharpened, Lao He Tou began to chop the meat, and later he would fry the meat balls and send them to the palace.

His daughter likes this mouthful, and even the concubine from the Lu family also likes this mouthful.

The concubine of the Lu family also has it in her belly.

Lao He Tou inquired, according to the big family, the children of concubines have to call their daughters their mothers, and they can only call their own mothers aunts.

So

The child born of the concubine is also his grandson?

Therefore,

Every time the food is sent in, Lao He Tou will prepare a separate one for that person.

The most important thing is that his grandson Sun Ji Chuanye also likes to eat by himself, what fried meatballs, sausages, crispy pork belly or something, the little guy loves to eat, as if his grandfather is the one who really understands his taste.

I ate too much last time, but I didn't restrain it well, which caused my body to be uncomfortable for a few days.

After learning about this, Lao He didn't think there was anything, children, gluttony and bad stomach, that is a common thing, but it must be a love of food to eat to hold on.

He Chu went to wash rice and prepare to cook.

It is said that at present, the people in many places in Dayan are having a hard time, but Lao He's family is a butcher in Beijing, and there is no official errand to blackmail you, as long as the business is done, life will not be too bad.

Don't say it, and you will never be short of oil and water.

In other words, if even Dayan's butcher has a hard time, then Dayan, I'm afraid it's really going to be bad.

"Doo doo do!"

Lao He raised his knife and fell, and cut the meat paste on the chopping board, which is called a "corpse all over the field".

And at this time,

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open from the outside.

The courtyard gate will not be closed, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is at the entrance of the street, and the door is closed, not atmospheric, nor exquisite;

The person who came was wearing a black robe, a trench coat, and a hat, and his face was a little pale and obviously a little thin.

Come

It's the owner of this courtyard, and I've seen it before, and I've eaten it together.

Lao He smiled, ready to call his son to prepare tea,

Then bow your head,

found that his hands were still chopping the minced meat,

Unexpectedly:

"Ahh

Frightened and screamed,

The knife that has been used all his life and has been handy for a long time flew out,

After a few flips in the air,

Insert into the ground.

It's dangerous, it's not going to the owner.

Old He Tou "poofed",

The whole person fell to his knees.

Knowing that when you are confused, everyone can do it, but not everyone can do it well.

Obviously,

The old butcher didn't have the ability to do this, so he knelt down.

He Chu came out, and when he saw his own Lao Tzu kneeling there, he also obediently knelt down with him, although he didn't know what he was kneeling for.

The person who came slowly walked over, only to find that behind him, there was a little man in red.

The red-clothed guy walked over, moved the chair where Lao He Tou was sitting on the chopping stuffing before, and placed it behind the man, and the man sat down.

"Guess who I am?"

Lao He nodded vigorously, not daring to look up at people.

His son-in-law is the sixth prince of the dynasty,

In addition, Lao He Tou is no longer the cowardly butcher who entered the capital at the beginning of the year, his vision and knowledge have grown a lot, and the most important thing is that the tea money that his son gave to the teahouse was indeed not given in vain.

It's not about clue analysis, it's just feeling, and feeling has to kneel!

Emperor Yan didn't care,

Road:

"Let's go."

"Don't dare!"

The little man in red stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and helped Lao He Tou, Lao He didn't think about it, he felt that he was still comfortable kneeling, but this young doll was so powerful that he forcibly pulled it up.

After standing up, Lao He Tou actually forgot how to speak to people, and the knees of the two began to tremble again.

The little guy in red brought a stool to Lao Hetou,

With a gentle push,

Old He sat down,

Whether the feet are straightened or bent, the hands are placed on the chest, and the other postures are not, and in the end I can only sit there like a paralyzed person, with a dull gaze.

And Emperor Yan's gaze was no longer on Old He Tou, but on He Chu, who was kneeling on one side.

The little servant who was originally a red-clothed little eunuch in the palace stepped forward and observed He Chu's face very carefully, and touched his bones.

Seeing Lao Tzu so cowardly, He Chu didn't dare to move, and let it be "light".

subsequently

The little man in red retreated, until he retreated behind Emperor Yan,

Road:

"The fortune is deep, and the princes and generals are like each other, which should be rich and noble."

Emperor Yan nodded.

Looking at Lao He Tou again, Lao He Tou shook his head and opened his mouth:

"Ah...... This...... That...... You...... Not ......"

I muttered for a long time, but I didn't know what to say.

Emperor Yan smiled,

Road:

"What's for dinner?"

"Fish, meat, vegetables, and, rice, dry rice!" Old He Tou immediately replied, "Go, go buy it!" ”

Emperor Yan shook his head,

Road:

"I can't eat this now, I can't restrain it."

once

Emperor Yan and Hou Zhenbei fought over a chicken leg, in the imperial garden, Hou Zhenbei roasted a big leg of mutton, and Emperor Yan would let Wei Zhonghe go in advance to get back a large piece of roasted meat for himself in advance.

Just now,

These greasy things,

I can't eat it anymore.

Then

I heard the question of what to eat,

He Chu raised his head,

Opening;

"If I have a bad stomach, I can eat slurry water, every time I don't eat my stomach, my father makes this to make me appetizing."

He Chu equated Yanhuang's situation with himself, a foodie.

Emperor Yan hesitated,

Nodding.

The red-clothed guy standing on one side stepped forward and spoke;

"It's no longer suitable for you to come out, you can't eat these anymore."

He knew that Emperor Yan's body couldn't withstand any accidents and ruins, and when he went out today, he also served the spirit of Danqiang.

Emperor Yan continued to look at Lao Hetou,

Road:

"In-laws, beg for a bowl of noodles to eat."
