After much consideration, Shao Yi believed that it was the best choice to set the first foothold of King Yan to step out of the Prince's Mansion in the Xia family.

It's just that this matter involves the alternation of thrones, and there are King Jing, King Jiang, and King Chengjun in the shadows, staring at that position.

A few days ago, the emperor rewarded the grandson with ornaments and said the words, Shao Yi could guess what the emperor meant, and King Jing and others could figure it out.

The struggle for the throne is often accompanied by bloody storms and extremely dangerous ones.

He couldn't send the Xia family into the competition for the throne without Xia Ke's permission.

Although he has the experience of his previous life, he also knows that King Chengjun, who is hidden in the shadows, should be regarded as the first to anticipate the enemy. But on this trip, he must first ask for Xia Ke's consent.

That's why he had this chance encounter with his future father-in-law.

Shao Yi stood not far from Xia Ke with a smile, and there was a little embarrassment in his smile. In that way, it seems that he really just hopes that Xia Ke can help him with a word and help persuade Xia Yanqing to make a few more interstitials.

Xia Ke saw the handwriting on the paper clearly, so he pulled the paper open and pressed it to the bottom. With the same expression, I continued to look at the third and fourth paintings.

looked at it in turn, folded the paper again, handed it back to Shao Yi, and said lightly: "Shao Gongzi's paintings don't seem to be clever. ”

Shao Yi hurriedly took it, and the embarrassment on his face was even worse: "This, the painter I found is okay." Otherwise, uncle, you can take a good look at it. "If you think about it, in your last life, you were a staunch supporter of imperial power. The emperor's preferred heir is King Yan, and your promise will not affect your old man's position at all.

Xia Ke seemed unmoved, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Don't look at it, this official has not studied the way of calligraphy and painting, since it is a business matter, Shao Gongzi should go to the workshop and find someone in charge of this matter to discuss." ”

Shao Yi's heart, which had been lifting for two days, suddenly fell into his stomach, and he was in a happy mood and comfortable all over.

He hurriedly bowed: "Yes, according to my uncle's words." If the little nephew is disturbed, please forgive my uncle. ”

Xia Ke waved his hand, "This official still has official business, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so Shao Gongzi please take care of yourself." After speaking, he didn't look at Shao Yi's response, turned around and walked into Dali Temple, turned the shadow wall, and disappeared.

…………

Xia Ke walked to his room while lamenting in his heart the difficulty of the royal children. piggybacked, and also scolded Shao Yi.

The emperor asked him to take his grandson to see some things outside, but this kid chose the location in the kiln, but he was afraid that he would have to bring it to his house next.

This kid, the bastard is a little bit of a jerk, but his eyesight is really good, and he will find a place.

Everyone knows that the emperor likes the crown prince and grandson. When the crown prince died of illness, the emperor mourned for a long time, and then canonized the grandson who had just turned one year old as the king of Yan.

A few days ago, the emperor's examination and advice to the grandson can express the emperor's implied attitude.

In such a political situation, Shao Yi's move is tantamount to pulling the Xia family into the battle for the throne.

But the experience of the grandson is the meaning of the emperor, from the emperor's preference for the grandson, the grandson is the orthodox successor to the throne. As a courtier of the Celestial Court, of course, he had to follow the emperor's wishes.

Alas, there is no way, this matter cannot be pushed away. He holds the court's money, and naturally should have his own responsibility for the emperor, the court, and the people of the world.

However, bringing his wife and children into this dispute is something he does not want to see.

At this point, we can only work hard for the best.

…………

The next day, it was the day that the emperor set for Shao Yi to take his grandson on a trip.

Early this morning, Shao Yi took an inconspicuous carriage, went out from the back door of Shao's house, went to the alley designated by the emperor, stopped in front of a house with a plaque of Qiu's mansion, and handed over the name post.

The post was not delivered, but the janitor only opened it for a moment, then opened the door and let the carriage in.

got out of the carriage inside the door, and a waiter stepped forward to salute and led Shao Yi to the depths of the courtyard.

This courtyard is not big, and there is not much walking, but it is this short section of the road that Shao Yi, who has experienced cruel swords, always feels like a man's back.

It seemed that a cold glow with a lot of sight and many sharp arrows was facing him, and he felt like he would let go of the bowstring at any time and shoot countless sharp swords.

Although this feeling was very bad, Shao Yi was a little relieved.

Since Taisun has such strict protection, then, even if you step out of this courtyard, there are people around Taisun to take care of it.

In a main hall on the east side of the courtyard, Shao Yi met his grandson.

The current grandson is younger than the grandson when they first met in Shao Yi's memory.

Taisun has changed out of the clothes he usually wears, and he looks like an ordinary rich child, handsome and fair-skinned, and does not have the shyness and excessive modesty in Shao Yi's impression.

When Shao Yi entered the house to salute, Taisun looked quite calm, and did not rush down from the chair to help him, but sat steadily, and said gently: "This is my own home, if you calculate it carefully, Deputy Lieutenant Shao is still the elder of Congxian, so there is no need to be polite, Deputy Lieutenant Shao sat down and spoke first." ”

This is the first time that someone from the royal clan has admitted to his face that he is of royal blood.

Although Shao Yi was not grateful for this, the surprise in his heart was inevitable.

For so many years, no one has mentioned him and recorded him in the royal ancestral hall. But Taisun was the first person to speak up about this topic at a young age.

In this way, in the previous life, the weak character of the grandson was not born, but as time passed, he gradually grew up, and he knew that the life of the royal heir was not easy, so he developed a character that always had to give in.

Shao Yi sat down, and two other waiters politely served Shao Yi tea.

The grandson was surprised again and asked, "Grandfather Huang has already sent someone to spread the word, saying that Deputy Lieutenant Shao will take this king out to see the things outside and the people's livelihood. I don't know where Vice Lieutenant Shao has decided? ”

With Taisun's unexpected words just now, Shao Yi didn't feel that Taisun's question was abrupt, but replied in a middle-of-the-way manner: "The first step in the itinerary set by the humble post is the Xiajia kiln, where there are several different workshops, and many craftsmen and handymen work there. His Highness was able to see there how the craftsmen of the Celestial Empire made a living with their hands. ”

As soon as Taisun heard Shao Yi say that he was going to the Xia family kiln, his eyes immediately lit up. I was about to open my mouth to make sure, but I still calmed down and listened to Shao Yi finish speaking.

"The Xiajia kiln that Deputy Lieutenant Shao said is a place to fire bullish ornaments?" Taisun asked expectantly.

Shao Yi replied with a smile: "Yes, the thriving glass inserts and glazed ornaments sold on the market today are fired by the glass workshop and glazed workshop in the Xiajia kiln. If His Highness has no doubts, he will take His Highness over after a while. ”

Taisun's small body moved on the chair invisibly, and then his tone was immature, but he insisted on bringing out a trace of calmness, and said, "Then there is Deputy Lieutenant Lao Shao." ”
