Chapter 174: Letter of State

In the early morning of the next day, a small eunuch came to the prince's mansion to convey His Majesty's oracle and announce his entry into the palace.

Ji Chengjue did not rush into the palace to wait, but slept until he was full, and then leisurely ate two bowls of meat porridge cooked by the little lady of the He family, and then he was satisfied to get into the carriage driven by Gonggong Zhang and head towards the palace.

It's not that he raised it himself, it was purely because he didn't participate in the early dynasty, he went early and waited in the palace, and he had to wait until his own Lao Tzu came over, all waiting, naturally it was more comfortable to wait at home.

As for the most important attitude of the king,

Between their father and son,

There's really no need to be too cumbersome.

Sitting in the imperial study, he took the initiative to drink two teas, and there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Ji Chengjue put down the teacup and got up immediately;

forthwith

Emperor Yan walked into the imperial study, glanced at Ji Chengjue who was standing in the corner, didn't say anything else, but stretched out his arms, and Wei Zhonghe personally helped Emperor Yan untie his dragon robe.

After the dragon robe was untied and the new tea was served, Wei Zhonghe walked out of the imperial study with a comprehension and stood at the door waiting.

Since the prince in the palace left on Tianhu Mountain, Dayan's secret spy department, whether nominally or in fact, is actually his father-in-law Wei.

Some things, others can't smell anything, if he can't smell it, then he really has no face to continue to stay in this position.

The most important thing is that after you drive those officials from Jinshi to do things, you can't kill them, and if you want to investigate the main messenger behind the scenes, it is really not very difficult.

But Wei Zhonghe only stopped at a superficial level, and stopped after finding out the shadow of the six princes.

Without Emperor Yan's will, it was inconvenient for him to continue digging.

Father-in-law Wei, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but feel a little emotional,

I used to always get used to seeing His Majesty harsh His Highness Sixth,

But now it seems,

This Sixth Highness is by no means a good master, you think you have already eliminated his wings, but he can always give you some more "surprises".

This kind of wrist and feeling made Duke Wei can't help but think of the time when he first entered the palace to serve His Majesty today, and His Majesty was also young at that time, but in his actions, he already revealed such a "wisdom pearl in hand" atmosphere.

It's just that unlike Your Majesty, Your Majesty has always been very good, although the emperor was all kinds of absurdities during his reign, asking God to ask, but in the matter of establishing a prince, he has never wavered and been ambiguous.

Gonggong Wei subconsciously squinted his eyes, and continued to have a smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face.

As a minion, he can only think about these rebellious things in his heart, and he can't be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the heavenly family.

In the Imperial Study,

Emperor Yan sat down.

Ji Chengjue stepped forward and saluted:

"The son of the emperor greets his father."

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Father."

"Tell me about the household department?"

"Back to my father's words, my son was originally going to enter the palace tomorrow to ask for a meeting."

Saying,

Ji Chengjue took out a very thick fold from his arms, and did not call Gonggong Wei to come in, but took the initiative to send it to the Yanhuang Imperial Case.

"Father, this is the experience that the sons have gained from the Guanfeng Household Department these days, and at the same time, there are also the thirteen policies for the improvement of the policies of my Dayan money and grain merchants, please take a look at the father."

Yan Huang put his palm on the fold and patted it gently.

He had asked about the household,

His son also answered about the matter of the household;

And the so-called Xu Guanghuai, the original head of the household department, is not a person from the household department at this time.

No

It's not even a person.

Yan Huang reached out and rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, he had a lot of things to do in a day, so sometimes when he wanted to play with his son, he often seemed a little powerless.

In fact, he himself knows in his heart that it is not that he is too tired, but that this son is really not ordinary.

"I'll see later."

"Yes, Father."

"What do you think about the covenant with the Chu State?" Emperor Yan asked.

Ji Chengjue was silent.

Emperor Yan was waiting, he thought that his son was thinking;

After all, this is a big deal, and you can't and dare not answer it rashly.

The emperor often asks the prince, and the prince must also answer solemnly.

But after two sips of tea, Emperor Yan found that his son was still just standing there, with a flat expression, not a thinking look.

"Say it."

Emperor Yan asked again.

Ji Chengjue bowed his head and said:

"Back to my father's words, son-in-law, son-in-law has already returned."

"Done?"

"Yes, Father."

Emperor Yan sighed, and then, he adjusted his sitting posture, leaned back to the right side of the chair, and stretched out his finger to point at Ji Chengjue,

Road:

"It's getting more and more presumptuous."

This is a warning.

But when these words were heard in Ji Chengjue's ears, he couldn't help but think of what the surname Zheng had said, and he stood up again.

To use yourself,

and to suppress himself,

It's tangled, right?

I know what you care about, you don't care about your family, you don't care about your relatives, all you care about is your world.

Over the years,

has been beaten by a series of cuts,

Ji Chengjue has already figured out a set of countermeasures.

I am your son, and your bottom line for your son is that you can spoil it at will, but it's best not to kill it.

This is your mountain-like fatherly love.

Because I can help you manage money and food, and let you fulfill your long-cherished wish to dominate all summers, I can stand here and stand in front of you;

Because it was those Jinshi officials who collectively attacked this time, you would not attack them for the sake of your eternal foundation, but sacrificed Xu Guanghuai, who you used quite well.

The identity of father and son can no longer form a specific bond, people say, tiger poison does not eat children, but in his own father's emperor, he will not eat children, he just ignores.

Then you can only hold on to what you are most reluctant to do, to force you to give in, and force you to tolerate me.

Am I presumptuous?

Gotcha,

Master, when I came to Beijing this time, I already had a good idea.

In his heart, he thought so, but on his lips, Ji Chengjue still said in fear:

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Emperor Yan stared at this son and did not speak.

He didn't like this kind of "concise" way of dialogue.

If you say a word to each other, you can understand in your heart,

No matter how complicated things are,

It seems that after a few words, the exchange is over.

This is very inconsistent with the normal "communication" and "playing" mode.

But they both know each other in their hearts, and one or two sentences can point out all the meanings,

Plus there are no outsiders right now,

Could it be that the father and son have to deliberately perform a special performance, and you come and go, and deliberately spit a little more?

Anything else,

As a generation of emperors,

Being able to completely guess your mind is an extremely sensitive matter in itself.

At this moment, Grandpa Wei walked in and reported:

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is here."

"Let him in."

The prince came in, but when he saw Ji Chengjue, who was also standing in the imperial study, he was still slightly surprised, but a warm and gentle smile immediately appeared on his face, and said:

"Sixth brother, you are also here, I haven't seen you for so many days, but it makes me think about it."

Ji Chengjue stood there without moving, his gaze wandering to the right;

If you pay attention to observation at this time, Emperor Yan also made a similar action at this time.

Obviously,

The father and son chose to skip the very hypocritical "enthusiasm" and "politeness" of His Royal Highness the Prince.

It's not that Ji Chengjue is arrogant, in fact, on weekdays, he is not so sharp, but now he has not broken away from the previous mode of communicating with his father.

Emperor Yan also had the same feeling, looking at the prince standing in front of Ji Chengjue and asking for warmth, and the appearance of brothers being harmonious, Emperor Yan, who had just felt uncomfortable talking to his sixth son and himself, suddenly felt a deeper disgust.

He even had an impulse to ask the prince,

I'll give you a sword now,

Kill your sixth brother,

Would you rather or not?

Of course, these thoughts can only move in their hearts, just like Gonggong Wei who stood at the door before.

The hardest thing in the world is the belly, because it separates people's hearts.

It's hard to guess what kind of mind that person is thinking under the guise of the skin.

The prince was not annoyed when he was eaten a cold soup, but turned to face Emperor Yan and said:

"Father, all the details of the covenant have been finalized."

This covenant, the crown prince has spent a lot of effort to complete, it can be said that this is what he did after entering the East Palace, the first real major event, he attaches great importance to it, and he is also very cautious.

Xu Guanghuai's accident, although there were some waves in the covenant, but the problem was not very big.

Emperor Yan nodded and said:

"The prince has worked hard."

"Erchen doesn't dare to be a hard worker, this is the responsibility of Erchen."

Wei Zhonghe came over and handed an excerpt to Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand, flipped it over, and said:

"Alright, all of you stand down, I'm tired."

The prince was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case.

A simple sentence of hard work, and a simple word of politeness for yourself, just let yourself quit?

I have been busy for so long these days, and I have been busy for so long, so I passed it with such a fluttering sentence?

Of course, the crown prince doesn't want any reward, as the prince of a country, he is actually already at the level of no reward, and he can't let Emperor Yan abdicate and give up his position to the emperor, right?

Ji Chengjue looked at the prince's expression and wanted to laugh.

What's the matter,

Still want to hear the old man's praise?

Let the old man hold you up with a kiss and hug?

But soon,

Ji Chengjue frowned slightly,

scold

What do you look down on others?

It's obviously the egg laid by the same old king,

But you're a father,

I'm the eighth king?

Of course, at such an old age, there is no point in competing for favor and jealousy.

And put aside the outer skin of the prince's dress,

Both of our mothers have been bulldozed by the one above, my mother left early, and your mother is also hysterical, what do the two little bastards eat here;

As soon as I thought of this,

Ji Chengjue looked up at Emperor Yan who was sitting on it,

hey

Lao Wang Ba.

Everyone has their own minds, they may be dark, they may be rebellious, but they are all cleverly disguised with camouflage.

"Son's resignation!"

"Son's resignation!"

Ji Chengjue and the prince walked out of the imperial study together, and outside the imperial study, there was the imperial garden.

The prince didn't seem to continue the drama of brother and brother, but stopped first, and Ji Chengjue also stopped.

"You know about Xu Shangshu, right?"

Ji Chengjue nodded and replied, "I've heard of it." ”

"Aren't you watching the wind in the household?"

Your household boss has been kicked down, and you just heard about it?

"The prince laughed, brother, I actually just ordered a mao in the household department, and there is nothing to do for the rest."

"Sixth brother, you are talented, I am convinced of this, brother."

"The prince has won the award, and you are a role model for my brothers."

"Do more serious things, for the country, for the family, do more serious things."

"The minister obeys the prince's teachings."

As if feeling that this was a bit heavy, the prince hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Do you have any free today?"

"What does the prince command?"

"A subordinate in the family got some game, you know, I can't get used to eating these, but the county lord should like it, you can bring one yourself, and send the rest to the West Garden for me."

"Brother I understand, thank you for the prince's reward."

The wedding was cut off by the war.

And the newlyweds can't meet again in private according to the customs and etiquette before they get married, so it is not appropriate for the prince to go to the West Garden now, and it will look very undignified.

At this point, on the contrary, he was not as comfortable as Ji Chengjue, and his marriage with the little lady of the He family was not officially handled, but he still directly arranged the family in his mansion.

Well

Because my own eldest brother doesn't dare to swing a knife at himself now.

But Li Liangshen, who was beside the county lord,

But he dared to swing his sword at the prince.

"Sixth brother, when the covenant is concluded, on the day of my wedding, you can also come over with me to welcome my relatives."

At the beginning of the last wedding,

Ji Chengjue is not in the greeting team,

He was dressed in a fast suit and sat in the Quande Building to eat ducks.

Now, he's back, rightfully back, and rightfully needs to invite himself.

Obviously, the prince has already suspected himself of Xu Guanghuai's downfall, but Ji Chengjue didn't even think about hiding his own son, so how could he be afraid of being known by the prince?

"It's an honor for my brother."

"You and my brother, why do you have to be so angry."

"Prince, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers."

"Alas........."

The prince let out a sigh, turned around, and left first.

He's going to the side hall, and he still has his own things to deal with.

And Ji Chengjue is going to go out of the palace and return to the prince's mansion, so it is not the same way.

walked to the gate of the palace and got into the carriage driven by Grandpa Zhang.

Father-in-law Zhang said while driving:

"Master, the East Palace is starting to purchase things again, and Xu is preparing for the second big wedding."

"Just now, the prince invited me to accompany him on the day of my wedding."

"Then the minions are going to prepare some gifts these days?"

Ji Chengjue shook his head,

Road:

"It can't be done."

……

In the Imperial Study,

Emperor Yan was holding the fold that Ji Chengjue had presented earlier and was looking at it.

Wei Zhonghe came over to refill the tea and reminded in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, is it time for lunch?"

Emperor Yan put down the fold in his hand,

Unconsciously, I actually looked at this fold for a while, nodded and said:

"Let's pass the meal."

"Yes."

Wei Zhonghe turned around and prepared to go down to pass the meal.

"And ........."

Wei Zhonghe immediately turned around and listened to the order.

Emperor Yan pointed to the pile of folds about the covenant that had been sent by the prince on the left half of his imperial table,

Wei Zhonghe knew that His Majesty hadn't seen these folds at all.

"I told Zhao Jiulang that I had carefully read the details of these covenants, and there was nothing wrong with them;

Batch red printing,

Let them make an official national document and send it to Yupancheng as soon as possible. ”
