She slept until tomorrow, and it was almost time to go to court, she hurriedly got up, and found that her legs didn't hurt at all, and Liao Ling was still sleeping on the table, a little soft.

Thank you all the time. Zhang Xinyi said softly, the little fox wagged his tail, still asleep, I don't know if I heard it.

She hadn't eaten yesterday, and the people in the house were a little worried, Xiao Xi, who was the personal guard, had been guarding the door, and Zhang Xinyi asked after washing: "What about the little glutinous rice dumplings?" ”

"I played with that toy for a long time last night, and now I'm still asleep, but I'm going to go to court?" Xiao Xi replied.

Zhang Xinyi nodded: "Call the sedan chair." ”

Xiao Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, today is the first day of the new year, and you are not allowed to take a sedan chair." ”

What kind of rule is this, she didn't ask, she should be suspicious if she asked more, plus the major events of the previous dynasty could not be late, she walked quickly to the palace, fortunately the Prime Minister's Mansion is not far from the palace, otherwise it will be half a day away.

There is no danger to the main hall on time, but the atmosphere there is a little strange, You Xu has not come yet, what's the matter here.

"Prime Minister Zhang." An old voice came, Zhang Xinyi looked over, his face was full of wrinkles, it should be an old minister.

"The Prime Minister is really a minister, he spoke openly and bluntly yesterday, and the officials really admire it." The man's beard turned up and down as he spoke, which was very funny.

Zhang Xinyi held back a smile and pretended to be serious: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, this is what I should do, how can I deserve such a title?" ”

"Your Excellency, this is modest, now who doesn't know your deeds yesterday, although you were punished to kneel in the Chengqian Palace, then it will not be good later."

Compared with what the old minister said earlier, what he said was a bit harsh, Zhang Xinyi frowned, he didn't talk, and now he is jealous?

"Eh, what are you talking about, are our prime ministers greedy for these? What people want is the emperor's trust. ”

As soon as they sang and harmonized, it turned out that it was not just three women in one play, but three men could also be in one play, and this court was really surging.

Zhang Xinyi sneered, she was not a person who could bear it: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what the benefits are that you keep saying? The emperor has never said anything, is this called speculation about the holy will? The three of them blushed and didn't say anything, after all, the hat was buttoned very big.

Seeing that they didn't dare to speak, Zhang Xinyi snorted coldly and stood in the seat where he should stand.

"The emperor has arrived." The familiar shrill voice came, and the echo of this hall was good, and the afterglow of this shout was long.

The courtiers knelt down, and Zhang Xinyi was no exception: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

You Xu looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was kneeling in the first row, a little funny, how could he not look injured today, wasn't he still like that yesterday? He narrowed his eyes, could it be that he was all pretending yesterday?

"Flat." Zhang Xinyi quickly stood up.

The injury is really healed.

"Prime Minister, are your injuries better?"

Zhang Xinyi was a little scared when he was suddenly named, but he still bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it's better." ”

"Oh? I don't know what kind of medicine is used, okay so fast? ”

What's wrong, it's doubting my injuries.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not a good medicine, it's just that the effect is faster, and the sequelae are very big."

"The prime minister is really loyal, I was going to take a day off for you, but it seems that I don't need it today." You Xu looked at her regretful look and felt funny, this person was really good-looking.

Zhang Xinyi secretly comforted himself in his heart, only by entering the palace can he get close to You Xu, it's okay, but is he really good like this? Don't want it, why say it, let her feel sorry in her heart, she can ask a lot of things this day.

"This is the duty of a minister, and I dare not be praised by His Majesty."

You Xu ignored her and asked how the other minister was doing, Zhang Xinyi felt embarrassed, and silently retreated to the column, but was named just after entering.

"What does the prime minister think about this?" You Xu did it on purpose just now, he likes to see her eat deflated, he didn't have this habit before, I don't know why he has been trying to tease her since yesterday, maybe he thinks she's a little funny.

It was too difficult to talk before, he was very strong, and he didn't even listen to his words very much, so that the emperor didn't know where to put his face, she was scared yesterday, but it was very strange, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were bright.

Zhang Xinyi looked confused at this time, I didn't listen carefully to what he said just now.

She stubbornly said, "Back to Your Majesty, I think what the adults said is very good." You Xu frowned: "Prime Minister, do you know what he just said?" ”

It's because I don't know that I say it's good.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was accidentally distracted just now, and he didn't hear clearly."

You Xu wanted to laugh but didn't: "Prime Minister, next time you have to be serious, you can't be distracted in the court." ”

Isn't it because you've been targeting me? Zhang Xinyi smiled dryly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Qi Aiqing, listen to her again."

That Qi Aiqing repeated the words again: "When arresting the assassin in the palace this time, I found that there was a clue pointing to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the minister carefully checked it, and it was related to the Prime Minister's personal guard Xiao Xi. ”

What, assassination! Is it still related to the people in my house? No wonder what I just said is a little strange, but this is impossible, looking at Xiao Xi's honest appearance, she shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, it won't be her own arrangement? Now this situation can only be said to be no, otherwise what is waiting is to cut off the head or destroy the door.

She threw herself on her knees, her voice was very loud, as if to express her heartfelt feelings, she was in pain and just squeezed out crocodile tears: "Wronged, the emperor, the minister dares to guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with the minister's house, and the emperor knows it." ”

You Xu smiled secretly, looking at how smoothly she knelt, the voice was very loud, tsk.

"The prime minister got up first, isn't this asking for your opinion, it hasn't been decided yet, otherwise you can still stand here and talk to me?"

Zhang Xinyi refused: "Your Majesty, the soldier can not be killed, he will not agree to what the minister has not done, if he wants to investigate, the minister will never complain." ”

At this time, climbing up the pole is looking for death, although there is no conviction, but Xiao Xi can be found, is this thing still far away, I can only hope that this person will remember the old feelings of the original owner to help him, just don't kill her, just come and die, it doesn't follow the law, and she came here to take the fragments of his body, can't die!

You Xu looked at him fixedly, a good soldier can not be killed. "The prime minister comes to take the Qiandian, and the others go down."

The ministers all felt strange, it was a little early to go down to the court today, and they didn't report how to go down to the court, but no one dared to object, so they all knelt down again: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

You Xu Shi Shiran walked in front, Zhang Xinyi followed behind him hard, at this time Liao Ling had already come, lying on her back and asking, "How is today?" ”

"It's not good, I'll give you a task, help me collect information about the court, the more detailed the better."

"What did you take me for? Running errands? No. Chat Ling didn't want to refuse.

"Uncle, are you going?" Zhang Xinyi's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched and threatened it, and Liao Ling shook his body and nodded: "Go, but I'll only come back tonight." ”

"It's okay, don't lose it."

"You think I'm like you?" After saying that, the chat spirit teleported away.

Zhang Xinyi looked at the afterimage of it leaving, crying and laughing, always so hard-mouthed.

"Prime Minister, do you want to go to the Qiandian when you walk so slowly?" You Xu, who was walking in front, stopped, his eyes dark.

Zhang Xinyi almost bumped into it, she lifted her crumbling official hat, bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to overstep his identity, and he is always three feet away from His Majesty." ”

You Xu felt more and more that she was a little different, her walking posture had changed, her facial expression had changed, and her attitude of speaking was even different from before, he approached her and said, "Prime Minister, who are you?" ”

Zhang Xinyi's tiger body was shocked, and he laughed dryly, wouldn't he see that she wasn't her so quickly?

"Your Majesty can't understand what the minister said, the minister is still a minister."

He came closer, their faces almost together, the eunuchs around them had long since been dismissed, and now there were only the two of them.

Zhang Xinyi looked at this handsome face full of intimidation, swallowed his saliva, nervous and weak, and his palms were sweating.

"Oh? So what are you nervous about. He chuckled, and Zhang Xinyi felt that he was despised.

"It's not that Your Majesty is nervous when you get closer to the minister."

"Really?"

He seemed to accept this reason, and walked towards the hall, Zhang Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and trotted to follow him.

He sat in the seat, he didn't plan to give himself a seat, Zhang Xinyi's face stiffened with laughter, she was still sick yesterday, although she was better today, but she was very tired from standing all morning, and she didn't dare to say anything, only laughed dryly.

"What is the Prime Minister laughing at, do you think I'm funny?" You Xu saw her smiling happily, and he wanted to bully her inexplicably.

Zhang Xinyi stopped laughing: "No, the minister feels very happy to be protected by His Majesty." His face turned cold again.

"Did the Prime Minister's face be thrown to me?"

Zhang Xinyi almost wanted to beat the person in front of her in her heart, if she didn't laugh, if she didn't laugh, she didn't deserve a face, right, or you would always cut off my face?

She didn't speak this time, saying that there were many mistakes, and remaining silent was the king.

This time she looked like her, but she didn't want her to be the same as before, so You Xu called a little eunuch in: "Bring a stool for the prime minister." ”

Is this a conscience that can't be passed? I have been bullied by you all morning, and I know how to be compassionate. Zhang Xinyi thanked him, and his face was much better.

He suddenly became serious, and his tone was not very good: "The prime minister still remembers the assassination that night. ”

"Chen's memory is really bad lately, and he has almost forgotten it."

"It's the day before yesterday, the prime minister forgot, it seems that you really have a bad memory, one day you will be given a ginseng that must be supplemented, but there must be conditions."

Actually, I don't want it, Zhang Xinyi thought.

"What kind of condition is that?"

"If you catch someone who really wants to assassinate me, if there is someone behind the scenes, the prime minister will have to serve it in a pot."

Assassinating you? No wonder the matter is so serious, it stands to reason that the palace is heavily guarded, there are many masters, and the people around him are also people with superior force, how could someone assassinate and escape, this is not logical, Zhang Xinyi frowned slightly.

She is in a dilemma now, and she has to deal with it, and Lord Qi has found out about herself, and she definitely can't stay out of the matter, it's just ...... He obviously doesn't trust me now, and if I ask for it at this time, I don't just refuse, I'm afraid I won't survive today.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The prime minister is so happy, it seems that he is very confident that he will catch the thief, then I will wait for the good news of the prime minister." Yu Xu picked up the water glass and took a few sips, "By the way, why do you think it found out to you." ”

Zhang Xinyi thought for a while and said cautiously: "The person who framed me is definitely the one who is afraid of me, Your Majesty knows that the assassination will never be me, so you can confuse the public and give them a little time to destroy the evidence." ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't trust me and listens to that person's words, then I will fall, and someone will carry the black pot and eradicate a big dissident, killing two birds with one stone, but it is a good strategy."

You Xu looked at her appreciatively: "Since you have thought of this layer, then the approximate range should also be thought of, you can rest assured to check." ”

She thought he would say that he was always on your side, but she didn't expect ......

"If you find out, I'll take care of your family."

The corners of Zhang Xinyi's mouth twitched, and he made a grateful look: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really kind-hearted." The last sentence was said by her gritted teeth, which is a good interpretation of what it means to grit her teeth.

You Xu smiled secretly, it turned out that bullying the prime minister was such a fun thing.

"Okay, then you can step aside."

Zhang Xinyi knelt down and said, "The minister retreats." ”

"Prime Minister, don't you know that you don't need to kneel when you are alone?" You Xu looked at the little one lying on the ground and felt a little funny, why did she look so much like a woman?

Suddenly realizing how ridiculous his idea was, his face sank, he waved his sleeves and left the Chengqian Palace, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Drive the Fengluan Palace." "Fengluan Palace is Concubine Liu's bedroom, and it is the most holy on weekdays.

Zhang Xinyi got up by herself, patted the ashes on her official uniform, didn't have to kneel and no one told her how did she know? And he wasn't happy to see me kneeling just now, why did his face suddenly change? It's true that a companion is like a companion tiger, and Fengluan Palace will not be the dormitory of its concubine, this kid actually has a concubine! Only sixteen years old!

Alas, these are not in her hands, but there is some bitterness in her heart. She also walked slowly to the palace gate, because she had walked twice, and now she was familiar with the road, and she didn't ask others to lead the way, but she didn't expect to meet another person on the road, the key is that she has no memory of the original owner at all, even if others know her, she doesn't know anyone else, can you wait for me to figure out who you are first, and then come to me one by one?

Zhang Xinyi's face became cold, which became her usual style again. If you ask for something in front of the emperor, you don't need to pretend to be innocent in front of others.

That person's eyebrows are a bit like You Xu, and he will really be dazzled when he looks at it from a distance, thinking that he is You Xu, but the temperament is different, she can still distinguish it, not to mention that the person just went to Fengluan Palace, he shouldn't be wandering around outside so quickly, so it can only be his brother, maybe which prince.

She bowed and saluted: "Hello prince." ”

Sure enough, I guessed correctly, which prince is it, he smiled: "Prime Minister Zhang and I are a lot of strangers, what big deal did Brother Wang ask you to go to the Qiandian to discuss?" ”

Is this looking for her to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts? No, how could he come to find himself, isn't he the emperor's person, is this original owner "secretly communicating with him"? Well, the wording doesn't seem right, but it's pretty much the same.

"I didn't say anything big, but I was concerned about the minister's leg injury." She replied in a proper manner.

"But I heard that Brother Wang was already concerned about Prime Minister Zhang's leg injury when he was in the last dynasty, why did he still care about this when he arrived in the Chengqian Palace, how precious is Prime Minister's leg?"

Sure enough, they are all old foxes, there are eyes and ears everywhere, and they can't go to the court without an official position, so they insert a few eyes and ears into it to grasp the movements of the court, and this prince seems to have impure motives

He must be investigated, and he may be assassinated.

The poor stunner didn't know that he was being targeted by the person in front of him, that's right, he was You Xu's half-brother stunner, this name was thought of by You Xu's father, saying that this name was very worthy of him, and he couldn't accept this name until now, but this was given by the emperor himself, how could he dare to say that he was not satisfied, fortunately, he was now crowned the prince, and his name was De.

It seems that You Xu can also see his wolf ambitions, but in fact, when You Xu was still the prince, the two were at odds. But after all, there is only this one brother left, and he can't be given the title of "virtue" what he does

Her tone was cold and slightly sarcastic: "Don't dare, don't dare, as long as the minister's body can contribute to the court, it is already its biggest role, not to mention that the prince's body is more expensive than mine." In addition, the prince is much more useful than me. ”

"The cat that I had raised for a long time before, and I treated it with good food and drink, but one night I was bitten by it. Does the prince think this cat can still be kept? Zhang Xinyi's expression was as usual.

"What kind of cat, what's the matter with King Guan Ben, if the cat bites you, you will kill it, what's the point of saying it here." King De was furious.

"What the prince said is very true, in this way, if you kill it, it is." Zhang Xin was stunned.

King De couldn't say anything when he saw it, but instead provoked a commotion, and left with a cold snort unhappily.

Sample, fight with me? Sooner or later, your kitten will be eaten by the emperor's big tiger!

Zhang Xinyi looked at his back thoughtfully, I don't know what happened to the little fox, this prince is weird.

She shook her head, no matter what, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there will always be a way, whether he is the prince or what, since he framed me, I must be prepared to accept revenge.

The corners of her lips are slightly hooked, and now she doesn't look trembling in front of the emperor at all, but like a cat that has stolen a fishy thing, she may shoot at any time.

Most of the people in the world bully the weak, I don't bully, but I don't sympathize with them, only when I slowly become stronger can everything be possible.

Zhang Xinyi's eyes were firm, and one of them was clear.

She soon returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before the stool was hot, someone came to the door.

"Why are the people from the Ministry of Rites coming to me?" Zhang Xinyi's official uniform has been taken off, because she is a "man", and the clothes she wears are also men's clothes, and she has some cotton in it just enough to support the clothes, which makes her feel very uncomfortable, but she still has the same picturesque eyebrows and looks very delicious.

Xiao Xi replied: "It's the son of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Hanming, Xu is here to ask for a clerk." ”

"Paperwork, what paperwork?" Zhang Xinyi was puzzled.

"Have you forgotten, a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites and Rites Shangshu lent you a lonely book."

I really don't know this, Zhang Xinyi is going to look for it first, otherwise if the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites really comes to ask for this and she can't hand it over, it will be difficult to explain, although her official position is bigger than him, but she can't do this kind of thing that damages her reputation.

But Xiao Xi shouted: "My lord, it's too late, I saw that your face was different just now, I didn't dare to disturb, let him wait in the hall first, it's been half an hour now, if you delay it any longer......"

Could it be that I, a prime minister, am still afraid of the son of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites?

Ridiculous, she glanced at him, and saw that he was for his good, so she didn't say anything, and went back to the room to find the so-called lonely book.

Xiao Xi was surprised, in the past, adults were the most important courtesy, and if they were a little neglectful, they would be blamed, but today is different, with the appearance of a prime minister, it is time to grow, and he is very pleased with the change of adults.

The two came to the living room, Zhou Hanming sat there patiently drinking tea and waiting, and when he saw Zhang Xinyi coming, he immediately got up and saluted: "Prime Minister Zhang." ”

Zhang Xinyi nodded: "You're polite, I don't know what is the important matter for Zhou Xiaogongzi to come here?" ”

Zhou Hanming, who was called Zhou Xiaogongzi, jumped eyelids, the two were of the same age, because of their official position, they were called Zhou Xiaogongzi, and they were heartbroken, Lao Tie.

"It's nothing important, it's just that my father asked me to come to the adult to get a document."

Zhang Xin was stunned, took out the document from his sleeve and handed it over, this book was used by the original owner to pad the table legs, so she looked for a long time, I don't know how it feels like for the Ministry of Rites to know that his cherished book is used to pad the table legs. She thought it was a little funny, but she held back.

If the original owner knew what she was thinking now, I am afraid that he would also get up and beat her, because this book was actually accidentally thrown out of bed by Zhang Xinyi when he was sleeping last night, and then slowly moved to the corner of the table.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Zhang Xinyi smiled lightly: "No need to say thank you, this is what should be done." ”

Zhou Hanming looked a little hesitant, but still spoke: "Prime Minister, my father wants to invite you to talk, I don't know ......"

She was a little surprised, she understood some rules, why did she still propose to talk in private? Here, the prime minister is not allowed to interact privately with other officials, after all, this position is too dangerous.

Zhou Hanming saw that she didn't speak, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Prime Minister, I was offended, but my father has been talking for a long time, thinking that he will tell you about this matter today." ”

"Little Master Zhou, do you know what Lord Zhou has to tell me?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that a broken set of chess, and my father wants to finish playing."

It's all said to be a remnant of chess, so what's the need to play?

But Zhang Xinyi still responded, although she is the prime minister, she is young, in the eyes of other old ministers, her qualifications are still shallow, and Lord Zhou is also a person who has served two generations of kings, this face should also be given, and the cause is him, not in himself, and it can still be preserved.

"You agreed so quickly, aren't you afraid that he will cheat you?" There was a chattering voice in my ears.

"How dare he? If he wants to trap me, he must be prepared to be trapped. Zhang Xinyi's eyes lit up, and he secretly imagined his appearance of bullying.

The corners of Liao Ling's mouth twitched: "You are becoming more and more taboo now." ”

"This is not called meat and vegetarian taboo, this makes everyone have to look forward, I can't do anything to the emperor, I don't have to be polite in front of these people."

Liao Ling didn't say anything, just told her like an old man that you should be careful, and now he must be looking for you because there is something he wants to plot.

Zhang Xinyi touched his head and said with a smile You are becoming more and more in line with me now. The little fox has a hard mouth, so he doesn't have it. But in the dark, Zhang Xinyi couldn't see it, and smiled happily.

The next day, the emperor didn't bully her like before, but still threatened her to find the murderer quickly, but Zhang Xinyi didn't care, you are very safe now, who dares to send her to death now, I am the one who is in danger, she doesn't dare to say this, and she can only think about it in her heart.
