"Your Majesty, Lord Zaisuke, is already waiting outside the Imperial Study."

Wei Zhonghe reported.

In Emperor Yan's eyes, a touch of exhaustion flashed.

got out of the carriage,

Zhao Jiulang stood there, just looking at Emperor Yan like this, and didn't salute.

Emperor Yan, supported by Wei Zhonghe, walked towards this side.

When the distance between the two sides was stretched to a certain extent, Zhao Jiulang sighed and knelt down:

"Minister, long live my emperor."

Emperor Yan said;

"I thought that Lord Zaifu would take off his hat first and set it aside."

"The minister thinks about it, but my Dayan is not a big cadre after all, and I don't have the kind of atmosphere of hanging the crown and going to pick a son at every turn."

"Yes."

Emperor Yan nodded and walked into the imperial study.

Zhao Jiulang got up and came in with him.

Emperor Yan sat on the head,

Zhao Jiulang knelt below.

Whether it was Emperor Yan in this imperial study or the crown prince in the palace, there was a seat, but he didn't sit down.

Wei Zhonghe stood inside, and he didn't take the initiative to ask Lord Zaifu to sit down.

"Your Majesty."

Zhao Jiulang spoke.

This is a very familiar scene for Emperor Yan;

Many courtiers began to use "morality" to "rules" and "etiquette" to "all people", in short, when the courtiers felt that his reasons were full and full of temperament,

In this way, the opening will be done.

Originally, Zhao Jiulang would not, as Zaifu, he should have been the leader of the bureaucracy in the court to check and balance the imperial power, but in the years after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, he never took the lead in disobeying Emperor Yan's will;

Even if the government and the opposition gave him a papier-mâché prime minister, he didn't care.

But today,

Over here

he

Here we go.

Although he hadn't opened his mouth yet, Emperor Yan already knew what he was going to say.

Emperor Yan, in the end, is still Emperor Yan, when he sits in the imperial study and sits on this chair, he is like the eyes behind the candles, and the hundred officials are the dolls trembling between the candles.

meantime

Emperor Yan also knew why Zhao Jiulang dared to come for the first time at this time;

Because

he

JI Runhao,

Old.

Not to say age? But this time he came out of the back garden, and he almost announced the emperor's longevity, and he really entered the countdown.

A young and vigorous Yan Huang?

He can change his Zaisuke at will? As long as he shows the slightest sign of disobedience, he can stand up and check and balance? Or, send it out from afar.

But?

An elderly emperor?

Faced with this situation?

What but does he compromise? All that remains is compromise.

Is he back, back to his center of power? But he is no longer the Ninety-Five Supreme who lives and kills? He knew, and his courtiers knew, that his time was running out.

Relatively

Now it's the turn of the aging emperor to hope to preserve the stability of the entire court in an orderly manner? to be handed over to the heirs.

"Your Majesty, the country's major affairs are related to the safety of the community, An Neng is so casual, An Neng is so child's play, An Neng ...... So! ”

Zhao Jiulang "cried when singing a long song".

Emperor Yan smiled,

This look,

This tone,

This gesture,

Yes, yes, it is worthy of Zai Fu who has been promoted all the way, those tricks that officials will play, he Zhao Jiulang, can actually play better and be more dedicated.

Between kings and ministers,

There is no argument,

Because they are so familiar with each other, they are so familiar with all the arguments, and after going through them in their own minds, they can almost imagine the immediate reaction of the other party;

Therefore, there is no need to say it at all, and it is easy for each other.

But because it's too fast, it's a little too thin, but Zaisuke still controls his emotions very well.

He didn't take off his hat,

Instead, he untied his official uniform,

Showing his arms,

even

He also reached out to his chest and patted it.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't bring a coffin."

In the Great Yan Army, there has always been a story about the Marquis of Pingxi, it is said that in the early years, when the Marquis of Pingxi was fighting, he would inevitably carry the coffin with him and prepare for a death battle.

But in fact,

It is not convenient to carry a coffin during a war, and it is actually a civilian official who really likes to carry the coffin out at every turn.

Zhao Jiulang said,

He didn't bring a coffin.

It means that if he wants to save trouble, he will not bring it;

Your Majesty

You are next to the minister, and there is a coffin.

Emperor Yan nodded.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have never disobeyed any of Your Majesty's will since entering the Prince's Palace, following Your Majesty into the East Palace as a subordinate official, following Your Majesty into the palace and ascending the throne from Shangshu to Zaifu, and the ministers;

But this time,

minister

I have to stab Your Majesty:

Your Majesty

You are old,

When you are here, you will naturally do everything, but please Your Majesty, for the sake of Dayan, you will set the rules! ”

The matter of the country,

Feel free to do so,

You are the Emperor,

You are the father of the princes,

You are the most powerful monarch of Dayan in the past hundred years;

You can do whatever you want,

But after you are arbitrary, who will collect this mess?

"Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"Then who do you say?"

"As a courtier, since he should abide by the minister's program, the prince is not at fault, since he has been in charge of the country, he has been diligent and diligent, and the minister has asked His Majesty, since he has comforted the Taimiao and set up the prince;

Your Majesty,

Give the prince dignity,

Give dignity to the temple,

Give Dayan Jiangshan Sheji a decent attitude! ”

This is the political correctness of civil servants.

The crown prince is already half a human king.

In the court, the existence of the Six Masters Party can be allowed, but when others ask about you on a formal occasion, even if you are a hardcore Six Masters Party, it is impossible to say that the prince is abolished and the sixth master is established!

This is disobedience, disobedience.

"Prince, didn't make a mistake?" Emperor Yan shook his head, "If it weren't for my support, the crown prince would have been unable to sit in the East Palace now." ”

Without him, the emperor pulled the shelf,

The Six Masters Party has long suppressed the princelings to the point that they are out of breath.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is the prince you have set up, if you don't support the prince, who will support you?"

"I have not abolished the prince."

"But now, the government and the opposition have long been panicked, Your Majesty, the minister implores you to make plans as soon as possible and make decisions as soon as possible!"

implication

It's true that I support the prince,

But you can also change the prince,

But please,

Come on!

"I'm not dead yet."

"Your Majesty, why didn't you do enough tricks today and didn't bring that coffin into the palace?

Is it the minister's fortune, can't afford to buy a mouthful of good longevity materials?

Is it that the minister's subordinates have no family, so they can't move this longevity? ”

implication

It's because,

Your Majesty is almost here,

Therefore, the minister did not dare to use the coffin to violate your taboo.

Emperor Yan looked at Wei Zhonghe who was standing beside him,

Road;

"Look, this is my minister, worthy of being my zaifu."

"Your Majesty, when you were in the Prince's Palace, you were the master; When the minister is in the East Palace, you are the master; Now, you are the majesty of Dayan, the minister, and the Zaifu of Dayan.

minister

When it is for the great swallow for thousands of generations! ”

After that,

Zhao Jiulang's forehead rested on the blue bricks of the imperial study.

Emperor Yan closed his eyes,

Zhao Jiulang also remained motionless,

Long

Emperor Yan said:

"I'm hungry."

Wei Zhonghe immediately walked out and shouted;

"Pass the meal!"

Imperial meal, was quickly sent in.

As at the beginning, two copies.

Wei Zhonghe walked up to Zhao Jiulang and said, "Lord Zaifu, let's eat first." ”

Zhao Jiulang raised his head,

On its forehead, there is a distinct dark blue.

Without twisting, without pretentiousness, he got up and saluted Emperor Yan:

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen."

forthwith

He sat down on one side.

Meals, very simple.

Zhao Jiulang's speed of eating was very fast, and he had already developed the habit of eating while working.

Yanhuang there,

I just used it for a little bit and then stopped.

Zhao Jiulang finished eating,

looked at the imperial case on Emperor Yan's side.

Wei Zhonghe understood, stepped forward, picked up the remaining food in front of His Majesty, and was about to send it to Zhao Jiulang.

At the beginning, when His Majesty's health first deteriorated, his appetite went down, and basically every meal, Zhao Jiulang ate two people's portions by himself.

He's very strong,

But I still have to eat,

can't let the outside world know that His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan has gone wrong in his body.

But this time,

Emperor Yan raised his hand,

blocked the Wei Zhong River,

meantime

Looking at Zhao Jiulang,

Road:

"Aiqing doesn't have to hold on anymore, don't break your stomach."

Saying,

Emperor Yan leaned back slightly,

Road;

"Leftovers, just leave them there, anyway, up and down, you know my body, it's not going to be better."

Zhao Jiulang's mouth opened,

This wrist ability is absolutely first-class, and Dayan Zaisuke, who has been entrusted with important tasks for 20 years by the former emperor, burst into tears at this time.

He got up,

Kneeling on the ground,

Road:

"Your Majesty, the ministers are dead, the ministers are dead."

"Aiqing, I suddenly wanted to make rice cakes made by my grandfather, and at this time, I really want to eat a piece."

"Minister......

"It's a pity that the master is gone."

Emperor Yan let out a sigh,

"It's gone."

Zhao Jiulang stopped talking, Wei Zhonghe didn't speak either, and no one dared to disturb the king's remembrance at this time;

"Some people are gone;

Those who are still living are not necessarily happy.

WEI Zhonghe,

Do you think,

Is it worth it? ”

"Your Majesty, although the slave is a eunuch, if Dayan needs it one day, the slave will not hesitate to rush forward with a knife, for the sake of Dayan, for Your Majesty, the slave will never give up!"

Emperor Yan returned his gaze to Zhao Jiulang,

Road:

"Aiqing, tomorrow there will be a banquet in the palace, I don't want to see hundreds of officials come to petition the palace, I am most afraid of noise now."

"The ministers obey the order, and the ministers will help His Majesty calm down the heated discussions of the ministers."

"Well, this big Yan can't do without Aiqing."

"Minister, panic."

"Alright, Aiqing go get busy, it's time for me to rest."

"The minister retired."

Zhao Jiulang got up,

When he was about to walk out of the study,

Emperor Yan suddenly spoke:

"Aiqing, is it worth it?"

Zhao Jiulang took a deep breath,

Laughed:

"Your Majesty, minister, it's not even like Grandpa Wei, right?"

Wei Zhonghe immediately raised his anger,

Of course, not really angry.

When he reached his status, how could he be angry at will when he was scolded as a eunuch?

Moreover, it is still ridiculed from Zaisuke of the current dynasty.

The reason why he showed an angry appearance was to let His Majesty see the excitement.

"Hehe........."

Emperor Yan smiled,

Pointing at Zhao Jiulang,

To Wei Zhong River Road:

"Wei Zhonghe, can you bear it?"

"Ouch, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the minions, Lord Zaifu, this is too boring!"

……

Although in front of his father and the emperor in front of the two princes, he shouted the slogan of cutting the domain;

But after coming out of the roast duck restaurant, Ji Lao Liu still led Zheng Fan back to his palace.

He Sisi and Ling Xiang came out to meet the guests, and they also brought two babies.

Marquis Zheng wrapped a red envelope alone, which was very thick and piled with copper coins.

After seeing the person who should be seen, and teasing the child who should be teased,

Ji Chengjue led Zheng Fan into his study.

In the study, there is no secret room, because if you don't even take good care of this study, then Ji Lao Liu will not take the heir, and go to sell cornmeal early.

Zheng Fan sat down by himself and crossed his legs.

I was fed a mouthful of baby food again, and I was really depressed.

After Ji Chengjue sat down, he picked up the wind oil essence produced by the Hou Mansion and smeared his eyebrows and temples, he was really physically and mentally exhausted today.

"Lao Zheng, I'm bitter."

"Cherish this meeting, I can't say that the next time we meet, it's right in front of your grave."

This ridicule,

What Marquis Zheng said didn't look like ridicule;

Ji Lao Liu was not annoyed and angry, but nodded and smiled.

After a period of calmness, the two of them actually have a certain new understanding.

When sitting in the carriage, both sides look at each other, and both can see the information they need in each other's eyes.

It's not the wind of Jindi that blows to Yanjing,

It's purely that since the first time they met in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the two of them felt a certain quality similar to themselves from each other.

"You didn't remind me." Ji Chengjue pointed at Zheng Fan, "King Jingnan, it turned out to be this attitude." ”

"I didn't know beforehand. When I was in Litian City, the prince once asked me which prince I thought would be more suitable to inherit the throne. ”

"How did you get there?"

"You know, I've always been virtuous and don't shy away from relatives, and I directly promoted you, thinking that you are the best candidate for the king of Dayan in the future."

Ji Lao Liu picked out his ears with his little thumb,

Then I put it on my lips and blew it,

Road:

"I'm impressed, but I still don't believe you'd say that."

"And what do you think I'm going to say?"

"Well, you probably feel that it doesn't matter, anyway, you have already become a feudal town, and the king of Jingnan is determined to protect you, no matter who will sit on that dragon chair in the future, you are in Jindong, in your Hou Mansion, you can continue to beat your pushers from afar.

You man,

Like me,

O mind,

The most is cool. ”

"You look at me like that?"

"Uh-huh."

Marquis Zheng got up, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Okay, then I'll go to the East Palace to meet the prince." ”

possible

In the eyes of others,

It's a threat,

It's like flirting between brothers,

But Ji Lao Liu leaned forward,

Looking at Zheng Fan,

Asked;

"You didn't tell me when I was in the store, why?"

Why do you want to put two coffee tables on top of each other?

Why decide to end up yourself;

even

Why come home with me today?

"You could have watched the fire from the other side, watched a play, and carried two handfuls of peanuts in your hand, why, why did you go down in person;

Don't say it's for me,

You Zheng Fan and I will one day swap places,

I'm not going to end up,

I'll just,

Protect your family. ”

"Do you want to sit on that dragon chair?" Zheng Fan asked.

"I want to know what the hell you want to do."

"You, don't worry about it, I have to do it." Zheng Fan looked at Ji Chengjue and said word by word, "You haven't sat on the dragon chair yet, why are you asking so much?" ”

"My surname is Ji."

Ji Chengjue sat back in his chair,

Continued,

"There are some things, it's not that I will change if I don't sit on the dragon chair, my intuition tells me that you are going to play a big game, and moreover, it will threaten Dayan's society."

"Don't worry, I won't stab you."

"You don't dare to stab you." Ji Chengjue said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want to do, I can help you." ”

"Telling you will only make it difficult for you."

Zheng Fan also sat down again,

"Let's take it one step at a time."

"Okay, okay." Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyebrows again.

Obviously, this is a tacit acquiescence.

Zheng Fan smiled, "Sure enough, the stability of Jiangshan Sheji is still not as important as a personal dragon chair." ”

"I'm a dad."

"Okay, you can shut up."

"The father of three children."

"I want to go to the East Palace."

"I may continue to be the father of more children in the future."

"I'll go to the crown prince."

"Hahaha." Ji Chengjue spread out his hand and put it in front of Zheng Fan, "I want that chair, I have to, I swear to you, you help me, I help you."

Let's not say that we don't owe each other, let's just trust each other again, like we did in the desert, and I like that feeling.

This big swallow,

This Yanjing City,

There are not many people who are more important than you Pingxihou. ”

"Don't talk too much." Zheng Fan stared at Ji Chengjue's eyes very seriously, "Ugly words, I'll say it first, high-five the oath, it's simple, but after I help you, if you dare to forget your oath today because of the difference in position;

I'm sorry

I'm going to be angry.

When the time comes,

Even if you sit on that dragon chair,

Unless you kill me in Yanjing City,

Once I am allowed to leave the capital alive,

I will do whatever it takes to overturn your country and kill you......... Your whole family.

I don't like the drama of being betrayed after believing in a friend, which is vulgar, boring, and responsive. ”

After that,

Marquis Zheng spread out his palms;

Ji Chengjue scolded with a smile: "The surname Zheng, don't look down on people, Lao Tzu also mixed the rivers and lakes back then, you go to Nan'an County to inquire about the reputation of my hero Yan Xiaoliu!"

In this life,

You have to have a hot brain, why are people so crazy, this day is interesting.

surnamed Zheng,

I followed! ”

After that,

Ji Chengjue took the initiative to high-five Zheng Fan.

"Smack!"

After a high-five,

The two sides quickly sat down.

Ji Chengjue opened his mouth and said:

"The relationship between the father and the two princes can be described as untidy and chaotic, Xiao Qi's ascension to the throne is the safest way, which can make the family harmonious, at least, in the past few years, it will continue to be harmonious."

Zheng Fan said; "But the two princes want to see the excitement."

After a pause,

Zheng Fan added, "Or, in their eyes, only when they move the knife can they really be quiet." ”

"They don't want to set the foundation of the country, but they want to see our brothers kill each other." Ji Chengjue said.

"So...... Can't hesitate, it's time to make a move. ”

"Nope." Ji Chengjue shook his head, "It's time to take the knife, since the elders want to see the juniors fight, Cheng, then I, Yan Xiaoliu, will be ugly."

Tomorrow, the eldest brother will return to Beijing, and a banquet will be held in the palace, since the two kings and two marquis will gather together, then the day after tomorrow, the father and the emperor will inevitably hold a court meeting, and my first knife will fall on the court meeting.

You, just wait to see the next good show. ”

"We'll see."

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

"Hmm." Zheng Fan nodded.

Ji Chengjue stood up,

Pick up the brush, dip it in the ink,

On the paper in front of him,

Eight words were written:

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict"

"What's the matter, it's tickling?" Zheng Fan asked, "While there is still some time, I can accompany you to think about the nickname again." ”

Ji Lao Liu blew twice on the paper in front of him,

Road:

"Actually, it's pretty boring."

"What's wrong again?"

"Next, you will see that if my father and the emperor don't make a move, I will not be a problem at all if I beat those brothers."

"Smack!"

Ji Chengjue clapped his hands,

Stretched,

Road:

"Look."
