Shao Yi walked out of Renxin Hall, facing the rays of the western sun, his face full of confusion.

Why did the emperor believe in him so much? How dare he hand over his preferred heir to the throne to him with experience?

Yes, the emperor invited him into the palace this time, not to ask him if he could take his grandson out for a walk, but after going through the motions of questioning, he directly arranged things:

Early in the morning three days later, let him go to a courtyard not far from the prince's mansion to pick up people, and the person who picked him up was, of course, Yanwang Xiaopenyou.

This little ancestor is only seven years old this year, leading such a child who has no ability to protect himself, and maybe many people want him to die out of the palace, you can imagine how much pressure he is facing.

Take the grandson to the barracks of the Terracotta Division? Are you kidding? It was just the emperor's casual remarks.

The Terracotta Division has a large number of personnel, three religions and nine streams, but anyone who has a little way to do it, wants to entrust someone to find an errand for their children in a place like the Terracotta Division, where they can receive soldiers' salaries and food, and mix a proper net worth of food and clothing.

This kind of place has always been a place where all kinds of forces are mixed, and he doesn't have the courage to bring his grandson here.

But what about other places......

Where to go?

When it comes to insurance, he feels that in addition to the palace and the prince's mansion, their Shao family is a second-class safe place.

The guards and house slaves of the Shao family were all left by Prince Xiang back then.

Later, I didn't buy new people, and I used the descendants of old servants and old guards. The person is reliable, and the kung fu under his family's guards is also hard, as long as it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is no problem to ensure the safety of King Yan.

However, what is the difference between bringing King Yan to his house and staying in the prince's mansion as a child?

I'm afraid that the biggest difference is that the Shao family has a small population and is deserted, which is not as good as the prince's mansion.

Shao Yi was full of sorrow, took a big stride, and walked outside the palace.

…………

The emperor watched Shao Yi walk out of the Renxin Hall before he said to Sun Congshan: "Look, Shao Yi already knows my plans. ”

The plan that the emperor said was naturally his expectation of the grandson.

Sun Congshan bowed down and replied: "Yes, slave maid, Deputy Lieutenant Shao is a transparent and perceptive, according to his embarrassed look just now, he should know the risk of taking King Yan on a trip." ”

"I didn't expect him to be able to see so far at a young age, it's really rare."

The emperor groaned, and then said again: "King Yan is still young, if you want to sit in that position, you must have some experience, and you will always be carefully protected behind you, which will not withstand the wind and rain." I hope Shao Yi will not live up to my expectations of him. ”

Shao Yi can be said to have grown up under the care of the emperor, and those guards did protect him very carefully, but they also watched his every move from childhood to adulthood very carefully.

Those guards were originally from the palace, as long as the emperor wanted to know about Shao Yi's affairs, although it would not make Shao Yi have no privacy at all, but whether he had anything to do with other forces knew it clearly.

Shao Yi has many guards in his hands, but for so many years, he has indeed never been involved with any other force, and last time he rejected King Jing's solicitation, which made the emperor relieved, and finally found a trusted child of the royal family, who could protect King Yan to grow up and ascend the throne.

…………

In order to avoid people's eyes, Shao Yi didn't do anything the next day, just asked Zhirui to pay attention to whether Xia Ke had any fixed action routes or outings during his office.

So, on the third and a half days before Shao Yi received the emperor's errand, Xia Ke had just gotten off the sedan chair outside Dali Temple, and he saw that not far away, Shao Yi was riding a horse with a small servant.

He saw Shao Yi's gaze following him, so he nodded politely, and planned to turn around and walk towards Dali Temple.

However, as soon as he nodded, before he could make any other moves, Shao Yi had already dismounted, threw the reins to the little servant, and strode towards him.

With such an obvious move, there were still small officials in the Dali Temple Office who had already noticed Shao Yi, and Xia Ke had no choice but to stop.

"The little nephew has seen the uncle." Shao Yi stopped three steps away, bowed deeply, and still did his duty as a junior.

Xia Ke glanced at the two officials who were entering and exiting Dali Temple, as well as the passers-by who passed by a little farther away, smiled, and stretched out his hand to support Shao Yi: "Young Master Shao doesn't need to be polite. ”

Shao Yi followed Xia Ke's gesture and stood up straight, and said very happily: "It's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet my uncle here." Uncle, did he just come back from a business trip? ”

Xia Ke smiled and nodded: "I went to Taichang Temple just now to discuss some things, did Shao Gongzi also have a business trip here?" The two of them were gossiping, but Xia Ke paid special attention to Shao Yi's expression.

"Hehe, this, the little nephew has nothing to do, just wandering around here occasionally. The little nephew originally wanted to discuss something with Miss Xia, but coincidentally, he didn't meet his uncle, and it was the same with you. ”

Shao Yi said, already reaching into his arms with great interest, looking like he was going to get something out.

Seeing Shao Yi's sudden move, Xia Ke suddenly felt as if something unusual was about to happen.

If he doesn't follow now, this kid goes to his daughter to discuss, then it's better for him to continue and see what is going on with this kid.

"Oh? Is there something wrong with Shao Gongzi? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Shao Yi thanked him and took out a stack of papers from his arms, "That's right." In the past few days, many colleagues have asked the little nephew if Qingyunzhai can release another batch of bullish interstitials. ”

As he spoke, he unfolded the pieces of paper and presented them to Xia Ke with both hands, "The little nephew knows that the base map of the previous interstitial screen has been destroyed, and this is another set of paintings that the little nephew found someone to draw. Please ask my uncle to show it to Miss Xia, if you can still see it, let's make a few more sets, not to mention anything else, I can always give an explanation to someone I know well. ”

Xia Ke didn't pay attention to Shao Yi's explanation, and only took these pieces of paper to look at.

I saw that on the first piece of paper, there was indeed a bull full of momentum.

The bull was apparently copied from one of the four interstitials, but the technique and craftsmanship of the copiing were really not complimentary.

Xia Ke's eyes lifted from the paper, glanced at Shao Yi, shook the paper, and asked, "Shao Gongzi himself thinks, can such a brush be used in the painting?" ”

"Hehehe," Shao Yi laughed dryly, a little embarrassed, "This, the little nephew thinks it's not bad, don't we have it now?" It's better than nothing, and it's better than nothing. ”

Xia Ke was noncommittal, pulled out this one, and went to see the next one.

Sure enough, the next one is not a copy of the painting, but two lines of words: Tomorrow, the Holy Superior will send his little nephew to take His Royal Highness King Yan out of the palace to have more knowledge. The little nephew has no other safe place to go, and hopes to go to the kiln factory tomorrow, hoping that his uncle will agree. ”

The kiln and the Xia family were the only safe places Shao Yi could think of. After that leak, Xiajiayao Factory has carefully screened all employees.

After that, all the key processes were carried out by domestic slaves who were bought through the government and had a clear origin.

Even the petty workers and handymen recruited have undergone strict identity checks, and they are people with simple families, innocent backgrounds, and no access to rich and large officials.

Going to the kiln and seeing the hard work of various craftsmen up close is also a kind of observation of the suffering of the people for the superiors.

It would be even better if he could lead his grandson in and out of the Xia family again.

The Xia family has Xia Zixi, who is knowledgeable but does not have the pedantic atmosphere of literati, and Xia Zitang, who has a hearty personality and skills.

Xia Zixi's son Xia Han and King Yan are of the same age, the two should be able to play together, maybe in the future, the two will study together, and they can become monarchs and ministers who help each other all the way.
