Chapter 78
Xiao Yuan stopped, looked at Emperor Xuanwu carefully, and saw that he didn't react before he continued, "It's like killing people." β
"That's right," Emperor Xuanwu got up and grabbed Xiao Yuan, and walked out of the hall with a smile, "Let's go, accompany me to the East Palace." β
Xiao Yuan hurriedly and carefully supported Emperor Xuanwu and reminded, "Ah Weng be careful of your step. β
"You kid." Emperor Xuanwu scolded with a smile, but he still slowed down his pace as he said.
β¦β¦
"Sixth uncle, Happy New Year, safe and smooth." After speaking, Zijin gave a big gift to the king of Chu.
"Get up." Xiao Xu smiled and helped Zijin up, and quipped, "I didn't prepare your New Year's money." β
Zijin followed Xiao Xu's strength, and said a little seriously, "The niece doesn't blame the sixth uncle, but if the sixth uncle feels guilty because of such a trivial matter, the niece is afraid that she will be uneasy, why don't the sixth uncle leave the niece a meal, and she should make amends?" β
"You can get it, you, you still gasp when you say you're fat," Xiao Xu withdrew his hand holding Zijin and said angrily, "That family came to the door at almost noon for the New Year's greetings, besides, didn't you send someone to give a New Year's gift yesterday?" Why, do you know that you came to my sixth uncle in person to pay New Year's greetings? β
The customs of the capital, but if you give a New Year's gift, you will worship the New Year, and Zijin will give the New Year's gift and then come to the door in person, which is to worship the New Year twice.
"Look at what the sixth uncle said, is my niece such a rude person?" Zijin smiled and followed Xiao Xu into the warm pavilion, and the two sat down.
"Because I went to see Aunt Huaining yesterday, I was delayed for a day, but didn't my niece send you the same New Year's gift? I also specially added two more jars of pear blossom stuffed tweed for you. β
"But the two jars of pear blossom brew want to buy me, who do you think of me?"
"Eh, that's not right," Zijin retorted, "I remember that Ah Yao likes my pear blossom brew the most." β
Xiao Xu retorted stubbornly, "It's not big or small, that's your uncle." β
"There are still two months left, and it's not too late to change your words when you get married." Zijin was noncommittal, obviously not taking Xiao Xu's words too seriously, "A-Yao definitely doesn't want me to treat her as an uncle." β
There's no way, who let his niece and his fiancΓ©e have a handkerchief, who can't beat his fiancΓ©e. β₯οΉβ₯
Zijin ...... hehe
"Did you go to see the third sister?"
"Yes," Zijin took the teacup and thanked him, and then said, "I see that my aunt's complexion is much stronger than when I was in autumn, and I love to laugh. β
Xiao Xu looked at Zijin with an aftertaste on his face, and couldn't help but complain, "Do you just remember to eat?" β
To say that Zi Jinming is also gentle and elegant on the face, both civil and military, and his etiquette and character are also excellent, but in private, he is a mixed character, especially in front of acquaintances, he does not hide it at all, and his angry teeth are itchy.
"Beauty and food can't be disappointed." Zijin pretended to sigh.
Xiao Xu twitched the corner of his mouth, he didn't mention this matter again, anyway, looking at Zijin's appearance, he knew that the third sister must be doing well.
"Why are you here so late today?" Xiao Xu picked a topic at random, "In the past, when you came to eat, it was always the hour." β
Speaking of this, Zijin's expression darkened, and his voice was slightly deep, "I knew what was going on outside the city, and I beat all the people in the house." β
"News spreads so fast?" Xiao Xu was surprised.
Although His Majesty didn't deliberately suppress this matter, it shouldn't have spread so quickly!
And looking at Zijin's appearance, she obviously doesn't know a little bit, which is strange, could it be that she has any secret power that has hidden it from everyone!
Xiao Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zijin directly, wanting to see something from his face.
Zijin didn't know what Xiao Xu was thinking, so he had no choice but to hold his forehead.
"Where do you want to go? I stayed at Aunt Huaining's place yesterday and returned to the palace early this morning. β
"That's right." Xiao Xu's tone was lost, it turned out that he saw it by the way.
"Forget it, what are you talking about during the New Year's Festival, it's just bad luck." As he spoke, Zijin pointed to it with an unspeakable look, signaling Xiao Xu to be careful with Emperor Xuanwu.
Xiao Xu understood and said with a smile: "It is this reason, this matter has nothing to do with you and me, and it will give those officials in the DPRK and China a headache."
"I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will be annoyed."
"Not necessarily."
Xiao Xu glanced at the Western clock placed by Nuan Ge Li and replied casually, and asked again without waiting for Zijin to react: "I asked someone to make Wen Ding, go with me?"
"Naturally, we will go together."
Zi Jin smiled, and followed Xiao Xu's meaning without asking the meaning of the sentence just now, isn't it just to remind himself that there is His Majesty's handwriting in this matter, anyway, he has already guessed it, it doesn't matter if he asks or not.
The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, Xiao Xu drank too much, and pulled Zijin to repeatedly tell those who returned home to see their future uncle more, saying what "Uncle Sixth can't see her more often because of etiquette, but you have nothing to do, and it is also excellent to help us pass on letters when you have nothing to do." β
After receiving the news, Shi Shi, the head of the palace who rushed to discuss yesterday's matter with Xiao Xu, had a dark face.
Zijin was pulled by Xiao Xu's sleeve, watching the face of the long history change from resentment to grief and indignation, to regret, and finally turned into Mu Ran, who accepted his fate.
It's all a sin to have such a master on the stall!
"Fei Changshi is also pitiful."
Zijin is quite sympathetic to this slightly old-fashioned character.
With such a big swing as Uncle Six, it's hard for him to bear it.
"The subordinates think that Fei Changshi is enjoying it."
"What's the explanation?"
Zijin looked at Yexin, Fei Changshi is such an old-fashioned and old-fashioned family that can stand a non-mainstream royal family like the sixth uncle, how funny?
To say that Zijin can have a very strong relationship with the king of Chu, a large part of the reason is that the two of them are sexually compatible and like waves.
Unlike Zijin's private waves, the upright character who is still bright and bright on the bright side, the king of Chu is completely free of himself, and has said that he will emulate the famous scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and let the famous teach and let nature be, not Tang Wu but thin Zhou Kong, even if he was reprimanded by Emperor Xuanwu several times, he never relented.
In short, Xiao Xu is a very "prodigal son" who does not conform to mainstream values, is Fei Changshi tortured and self-defeating?
Seeing that Zijin was interested, Yexin didn't sell Guan Zi, and explained, "My subordinates met Fei Changshi more, and found that Fei Changshi always mentioned the King of Chu in private, well, with a loving look, and his subordinates thought that Fei Changshi mostly took care of the King of Chu as his son." β
Zijin "......"
Son?!
No wonder the sixth uncle had just decided to marry the elder Shi who would ask her about Luo Yao's news, because he was worried that this unconscious son would find a crooked bride with cracked dates and come back?
"I just don't know what Uncle Six thinks?"
Inexplicably more dad! It's still what my own father found for me, and I can't return it!
Xiao Xu "......"
I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!
Zijin and Yexin laughed all the way back to Yanwang's Mansion, but heard a surprising news.
"Son, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson has been waiting in the warm pavilion for half an hour."
"I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Zijin resisted the urge to kick the butler and quickened his pace.
Zijin smiled and lifted the curtain of the warm pavilion, and heard it before anyone saw it
"I don't know if the eldest brother is coming, I hope the eldest brother will forgive me for the rudeness."
Xiao Yuan put down the book in his hand and watched Zi Jin untie his cloak and sit opposite him, pushed a hot tea over, and made the gesture of the master.
"When did you and I count these courtesies?"
Zijin looked at the tea and said in a word, "So the eldest brother is anti-guest-oriented?" β
Xiao Yuan took a sip of the tea he brewed, and said slowly, "This is called the Lord's convenience." β
Zijin ...... "I believe in your evil!"
"Your Majesty is short of the tea leaves in the East Palace, and the eldest brother is still coming to squeeze his sister."
"This mother tree is so precious, I just have a little stock, and when I drink it, it's gone."
So you're going to come to Hoho my tea!
Zijin endured his bleeding heart and asked, "What's the matter with you?" β
Hurry up and get out when you're done!
Speaking of business, Xiao Yuan also became serious, it was fun to tease his sister, but the risk was too great, and if he was not careful, he would be beaten violently, so he had to be careful.
"Ah Weng handed over the aftermath to Tong Anhou to deal with."
Xiao Yuan didn't say what was going on, and his words without a beginning or end succeeded in making Zijin stunned.
"What the eldest brother said was last night?"
Xiao Yuan nodded and did not speak.
Zijin helplessly supported his forehead, who gave him the illusion that he would know about it?
Well, even if he really knew, what was the matter with him being so sure? It's not good, it's not good.
"Big brother, can you tell us more about what happened last night?"
"You don't know?" Xiao Yuan was surprised, and then suddenly realized, "That's right, you shouldn't know very well!" β
So what do you make up in your brain?
No matter how Zijin complained in his heart, Xiao Yuan still told the matter from the beginning, of course, there was no need to say anything about Emperor Xuanwu and his private conversation.
After listening to this, Zijin asked, "Then why did the eldest brother come to me?" β
"Naturally, I want to hear you talk about why Your Majesty handed over this matter to Tong Anhou." Xiao Yuan said as a matter of course.
"Big brother be cautious! What Your Majesty means is beyond my imagination! β
Xiao Yuan just said it casually, but now that he was reprimanded, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he also understood that the crime of speculating on the holy will was not something he could afford, and said stupidly, "It's my gaffe." β
Zijin was also relieved to see Xiao Yuan hear it, although he was kind, but this tone would inevitably make people uncomfortable, if it was because of this, Xiao Yuan would have a pimple in his heart, it would inevitably outweigh the loss.
"The eldest brother is in the East Palace, and he naturally tends to get along with His Majesty, but there is no big problem if there is an occasional problem, it is my sister who makes a big fuss."
Since Zijin handed over the steps, Xiao Yuan would not take Qiao, and followed Zijin's words, "First the monarch and the minister, then the ancestors and grandchildren, you are also kind." β
Zijin smiled shyly, "Big brother, don't blame me for talking too much." β
Xiao Yuan naturally didn't mind, he understood since he was a child that although Zijin was ruthless to him, he had always been sincere in his plans, and it was really not worth it if he got into trouble because of these trivial things.
Besides, Zijin's temper is not a day or two, if Xiao Yuan is angry about such a thing, he will be angry by Zijin thousands of years ago.
"Your Majesty has a successful calculation, and the eldest brother is watching from the side, so what are you doing so attentively?"
Zijin thought about it and said his suggestion.
Knowing that the city gate is going to catch fire, you still go up, if you don't make grilled fish, who will make grilled fish?
With years of tacit understanding, Xiao Yuan instantly understood what Zijin meant, something was going to happen! Still a big deal!
"Is there a ...... in this matter? Add fuel (oil) to the fire? β
Zijin affirmed, "Don't leave ten, how much effort did Your Majesty use to suppress the family, and finally weakened the influence of the family in the court, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Xungui become a family." β
"I understand, I won't take care of this matter, you can rest assured."
Xiao Yuan is not unaware of the priorities, although Emperor Xuanwu favors him, but if he interferes in Emperor Xuanwu's affairs at will, he is afraid that he will ruin this hard-won opportunity to learn political affairs with Emperor Xuanwu.
It's just that Xiao Yuan frowned and said, "This is so bold with Anhou? β
Tens of thousands of people say that they will be killed, do they really think that Emperor Xuanwu is dead?
Isn't he afraid that someone will turn against him? Or are some of the displaced people running away?
Emperor Xuanwu wrote clearly in the Great Qi Law, the Dengwen drum outside the noon gate "hit and play", once one of those people dared to petition, he would be finished.
What's more, the spies of Jinyiwei are pervasive, it's hard to say elsewhere, this Gyeonggi land can't hide it from them at all, is Tonganhou really so naΓ―ve, thinking that His Majesty will dissolve the Jinyiwei after withdrawing the establishment of Jinyiwei?
Can't you?
Why can't it?
Zijin naturally understood Xiao Yuan's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, you are Your Majesty's preferred heir, what you know doesn't mean that others will know it, okay!
"The eldest brother is a descendant of the royal family, so he naturally knows some secrets, but Tong'an Hou is just an imperial retainer, where will he know this? Now if you only look at the court, even my sister, who has never entered the court, knows that Tong Anhou started with military merits and was worshiped by His Majesty as the prime minister, and the protΓ©gΓ© of the Manchu Dynasty is old, and he deserves to be extremely hot! His Majesty is self-cultivation, and he pays all the trivial things to the prime minister, but he is hidden behind the scenes, and anyone who sees it will feel that He Anhou has set His Majesty in the air. β
"The origin of power is moving, Tong Anhou is also a mortal, he has tasted the benefits of power, where is he willing to hand it over, coupled with His Majesty's intentional or unintentional connivance, he is naturally bold."
"But he forgot that everything he has now was given to him by His Majesty, and even the power in his hands was what His Majesty wanted him to touch, and since His Majesty could give it to him, he would naturally be able to take it back," Thinking of Tong Anhou's spoiled and stupid son, Zijin felt disgusted for a while, and sneered, "Do you really think that Your Majesty's self-cultivation over the years will not be the same as it was back then?" Stupidity! β
Xiao Yuan heard the disgust in Zijin's tone, and couldn't help asking, "Then Tonganhou offended you?" β
"Nope!"
Zijin decisively denied it, jokingly, how could she let people know about this kind of black history.
