17. The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as the emperor's kennel

The next day, above the court.

"Quangong, you did a good job on this errand, you will be rewarded!" You Xu blushed as if he was drunk, and his body swayed, and he was full of praise for Wei Quangong, who was sitting underneath.

Wei Quangong walked out of the queue and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Xinyi, the first of the hundred officials, stood at the front, looked at You Xu with a little worry, and asked the adult sitting next to him in a low voice: "What's wrong with the emperor today, why doesn't it feel right?" ”

The adult lowered his voice: "If you are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Zhang, the emperor is probably thinking of his mother, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the first queen mother." ”

Zhang Xin was stunned, but he didn't expect that he was still a child.

Today, when the ambassador came to the DPRK, she hoped that nothing would happen, and she always felt very panicked now.

You Xu saw Zhang Xinyi's movements in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Prime Minister Zhang, what are you doing?" "It seems to be unhappy.

Zhang Xinyi just wanted to answer, but was preempted.

The lord replied, "Prime Minister, this is worried about the Holy One. Accidentally lost his proportion. ”

You Xu ignored him: "Prime Minister, I'm asking you something." "The tone is not happy or angry, and this is the most dangerous.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the emperor should rest well and not be too tired. Today's banquet emperor, eat less bars. Zhang Xinyi replied seriously, this answer was also pertinent, but he didn't know how to arouse the emperor's sadness.

"That's what my queen mother said to me before." He looked tired, and he felt a lot of pain but couldn't put it into words.

The ministers are worried.

Zhang Xinyi was also worried, and immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother has a spirit in the sky, and sees her emperor miss her so much, she must also get some comfort in her heart." He put on a proud look again, "Besides, the emperor's diligence in political affairs is a blessing for me to honor the country." Today, the envoys of the foreign vassal will also feel guilty, and learn from our king of glory. ”

Most of the other courtiers agreed with these words, and some even hid their faces and wept.

A few courtiers who have never been friendly with the prime minister and stand in the camp of King De whispered: "This prime minister's mouth is so sweet, it is really disgusting to make this look to anyone." ”

"Isn't it, since the last time he was punished for kneeling, his kneecaps have been weak. has been stammering with the emperor all day long, and now it's not this disgusting appearance. ”

Zhang Xinyi looked at her nose and nose, she still didn't put these sour words in her eyes, it just made her feel that these people dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, which was really bold.

She smiled: "If you have any grievances, you can tell me in private, now that the emperor's holy body is not good, I, as the prime minister, should comfort me." The words and attitude all changed, "What, don't you want to see the emperor feel at ease?" ”

Those people dare not be angry, this hat is buttoned at too time, and You Xu, who has been watching the play while sitting on it, thinks it is wonderful.

The emperor didn't look at those people, but stared at Zhang Xinyi with burning eyes, are you talking to me?

Zhang Xinyi didn't know why, and lowered his head to miss You Xu's gaze. But she was very panicked in her heart, what is going on with this cannibalistic look, the emperor won't think that I said something wrong, right?

You Xu felt funny in his heart when he saw this, and his face was not half revealed, and he turned to the few courtiers who chewed the root of his tongue.

He naturally wanted to give the prime minister "face", and said in a calm voice: "Is it as the prime minister said, I can't see me?" ”

was watched by the emperor, and those people were a little scared, and they all walked out of the ranks, knelt down and cried: "The ministers don't dare." ”

You Xu sneered, sure enough, they were all people from King De's side, and it seemed that they had to find a chance to get rid of them.

"You are all my courtiers, and since you should take me to heart except for political affairs." After a pause, "Now, you don't choose what you say, you dare to chew the root of your tongue above the court, and you don't put the prime minister of my relatives in your eyes, but you really make me feel cold." You just go home and think about it behind closed doors, and you don't have to come to the court without an edict. ”

What is the difference between this and deprivation of official positions, those people cried: "The emperor thinks twice, the emperor thinks twice, the ministers are guilty, and they will definitely be punished." ”

The other courtiers who were also members of King De knew that the emperor was determined to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so they all took self-protection and did not follow the plea, but their eyes were glued to Zhang Xinyi's body as if they were nothing, and they were all hateful eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, I'm upset to cry. Retreat. You Xu got up and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and said, "The prime minister has come to the Chengqian Palace." ”

Zhang Xinyi saluted: "Yes." ”

Those officials who were punished were miserable, and they were scolded by the emperor, and they were not at peace when they went down.

"You're really getting better at getting things done, huh? I can't do such a little thing, just let that Zhang Xinyi's kung fu with a few words turn the situation around, tell me about you, what am I raising you for? It's better to have a dog, at least it will make people happy. King De's face turned red.

He thought that the emperor would look good if he was not there, but he didn't expect that he was coaxed by Zhang Xinyi, and he also cut off a few feathers.

The key is that he can't go out today, the ancestral system has a saying, as a prince, he can't appear on this occasion, and he is trapped in the mansion when he comes to the foreign domain, which is too angry.

If you were the emperor, then everything would be different.

Thinking of this, his face became darker and darker.

"Then lord, save us, what should we do."

"Don't worry, you and I have our own arrangements. After the deed is done, the benefits will be indispensable to you. The tone gradually became fierce.

Chengqian Palace.

The scene inside is extremely weird.

"Your Majesty, sit down, the ministers are not tired."

"No, the Prime Minister has a meritorious service today, so let's sit down with the Prime Minister."

"Don't dare to be it, it's all within the minister's responsibility, the emperor said this, but he wants to see the outside."

"I have a bad breath today, it's all the credit of the prime minister, why should the prime minister shirk it, don't you dislike this position?"

Zhang Xinyi silently looked down at the location of the suspected kennel, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the minister obeys the order." She reluctantly squatted down and slowly sat down on it, not to mention that it was quite warm and comfortable.

It's worthy of being a thing in the palace, and even a "kennel" is so comfortable, but what does this mean, is it possible...... Is it to say that he is one of his dogs?

Uncle can bear it, who can't bear it!

"Your Majesty, I don't know what this seat is......" she asked cautiously.

"Oh, this is my pet's bed, and now that it's gone, I'll give it to you." You Xu's fluttering voice came.

He sits on the dragon chair, I sit in the kennel, I can't say anything yet, I ......

Zhang Xinyi, you have a little backbone, at this time you should stand up and scold him, and then throw this thing in his face, saying that I won't do it, and the minister will return to his hometown!

But she didn't dare and couldn't, and she didn't get the pieces of Youxu.

That's it, bear with me! When she got the fragments, she let him sleep in the kennel day and night, and she pulled the corners of her mouth and asked: "I don't know what the emperor's summons is about, it should not just be a 'throne' for the ministers, right?" ”

There is a feeling of gnashing of teeth.

You Xu looked at her with an aggrieved but patient look, and the depression in her heart was mostly gone, this prime minister is really satisfactory to me.

You Xu corrected his attitude: "The person who taught the noon case came to report that everything was ready, and he was just above the court, and Lord Wei Quangong also said that everything at the banquet had been done. There is only one person left to welcome the envoy into the palace. The prime minister thinks, who should be the best candidate for this person? ”

Zhang Xinyi thought for a moment and said: "Qingguo is a small border country, and now that we take the initiative to surrender, our Darong Country will not lose face for others." Looking at You Xu's face, he continued, "We should choose a person of high moral integrity to greet them, which shows that our Rongguo is broad-minded and willing to accept them, and it also gives them a reason to express their hearts directly." ”

You Xu nodded in agreement: "That's a good point, but won't it seem too deliberate and make them arrogant?" ”

This minister also had some concerns, so he suggested that the emperor choose a noble son with no real power to greet him, and then find a son with real power to accompany him secretly. Presumably the best of both worlds. ”

You Xu looked at the way she said these words, full of calculations and did not reveal anything, but it was fascinating.

He coughed lightly: "Just as you say, then the greeter will choose Zhou Hanming, and you will be the escort." ”

Zhou Hanming? Lord Zhou was sick and mourned, and Zhou Hanming didn't have so much thought. It is the best policy to greet this person.

It's just that she is accompanied by her, which is a little weird to think about, and it is wrong to do it well or not. If she does it well, she will have a relationship with Qingguo, and it will inevitably make people criticize after the fact, and if she doesn't do it well, she will despise the monarch's prestige and her ability will be doubted, and even Qingguo will target you, which is really difficult.

However, Zhang Xinyi did not intend to resist the disrespect, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the earth. I just don't know what Gu Chao'an's situation is, she tightened her eyebrows.

You Xu saw that she was thinking seriously, so he didn't bother her, and finally said that when he left the palace, remember to take out the things I rewarded.

Zhang Xinyi's thoughts turned, and she almost lost her manners, she wouldn't know that she had become more and more unvigilant in front of him recently, and it seemed that she had to cheer up.

Hearing him mention the kennel again, the corners of her eyes twitched.

Get up and salute: "The minister retires." Then he bent over and went out with the kennel in his hand.

You Xu looked at it with satisfaction and smiled with satisfaction.

After returning home, Xiao Tuanzi liked this thing very much, and Zhang Xinyi also made the decision to give it to Xiao Tuanzi, but he told him not to break it, after all, it was a gift from the emperor, and it would not be good if he knocked it.
