Empress Qiyu," in the Jiaofang Palace, Xiang Hui came to report with a smile: "The emperor sent Father-in-law Wei to deliver a message, and tonight I will have a few drinks with Lu Hanlin, Zhao Shuling and Chen Yushi in the Yiqing Palace, and I will not go back to the Jiaofang Palace for dinner." ”

A strange light flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, his brows stretched, and he smiled: "Okay, this palace knows." ”

Lu Chi, Zhao Qi, Chen Zhan.

The three of them really lived up to Sheng Hong's expectations.

This night, Sheng Hong was in high spirits, and it was not until the time of the child that he returned to the Jiaofang Hall drunk.

Xie Mingxi did not dislike the smell of wine all over his body, and personally helped him to the clean room. washed away the smell of wine and fed him sobering soup.

Sheng Hong didn't speak, only laughed vigorously. Laugh heartily.

Xie Mingxi also laughed, reached out and pinched Sheng Hong's face: "Look at you smiling like this, it's weird." ”

After the age of thirty, Sheng Hong felt that he had matured and steady, and he also had some short beards. Xie Mingxi's fingers touched the short beard, Sheng Hong was a little itchy, and grinned: "If you're in a good mood, what if you just want to laugh." ”

It's rare childish, and it's quite cute.

Xie Mingxi's eyes were full of smiles: "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, there is no one else here." ”

There is some truth to that.

So, Sheng Hong smiled happily.

……

The next day, Sheng Hong's face was sour, and he reached out to rub his face from time to time.

Today is the small court meeting, and there are only more than 20 courtiers who are qualified to participate in the affairs of the small court meeting. All of them are important ministers of the third rank or above in the court. The king of Fenyang and the king of An also attended the small court meeting.

However, discussing political affairs is the business of civil officials, and the king of Fenyang and King An rarely speak out at the small court meeting.

The old ministers have quite a city government, although they feel that the Son of Heaven is indecent today, and no one has many mouths.

Every day, there are many big and small things in the DPRK and China, and all the prefectures and counties of Daqi have submitted them every day, and a bunch of political affairs have to be dealt with. How can they have the leisure to gossip?

Sheng Hong opened his mouth to inquire about the advancement of the new law.

Shoufu Lu Ge replied in a deep voice: "The new law has been announced to the world, and it has also been sent to all states and counties. Nothing has gone wrong yet. ”

In other words, the new law has been promulgated, and it is not yet possible to promote its implementation.

Sheng Hong is not in a hurry. There is no reason for social change to be achieved overnight. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I push it slowly.

By noon, the political affairs were almost over.

Sheng Hong was about to give the order to retreat from the court, Chen Shangshu coughed suddenly, and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Sheng Hong has always been polite to the old ministers, and said with a smile: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Chen Shangshu asked himself and was not selfish, and he spoke openly: "The prince of King Lu is seventeen years old, and he graduated from Songzhu Academy last year. The old minister thought that although the prince of Lu was young, he could also enter the court to listen to politics and learn the way of being an official. ”

The prince of King Lu in Chen Shangshu's mouth is Brother Ji.

Brother Ji is the eldest of Sheng Hong's nephews, who is gentle and respectful on weekdays, and has a good reputation.

Sheng Hong's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze swept over the faces of the ministers: "Chen Shangshu's proposal, what do you Aiqing think?" ”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was the first to open his mouth in agreement: "The old minister thinks that Chen Shangshu's proposal is quite good. ”

Immediately afterwards, several more courtiers opened their mouths to second.

Among them, there is Zhao Shilang of the household department. This Zhao Shilang is the cousin of Zhao Changqing, the princess of Lu, and the cousin of Sheng Ji, the son of King Lu.

Several pavilion elders didn't say anything for the time being, but it was the king of Fenyang County, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to sneer: "Chen Shangshu is quite concerned about the prince of Lu. The prince of King Ning and the prince of Min are not small, so why don't you ask Chen Shangshu to consider one or two and arrange them together? ”

Since Chen Shangshu opened his mouth to bring up this matter, he was not afraid of being attacked, and immediately gave up his hand, with an awe-inspiring and righteous face: "As a courtier, I should share the emperor's worries." Whether the advice is adopted or not is up to the emperor to decide. Why did the king of Fenyang say this? Could it be that I am suspicious of my loyalty? ”

Wang Pi of Fenyang County responded back with a smile: "Chen Shangshu is brave and loyal, which is really moving. ”

Speak better than sing! At this time, let the prince of King Lu enter the court to listen to the government, what is the idea, you can see it at a glance. Do you really think everyone can't see it?

King An is young and vigorous, but he doesn't have the patience of the king of Fenyang County to go around and around, and said bluntly: "Brother Ji can't enter the court to listen to politics, it has nothing to do with Chen Shangshu!" What is the purpose of Chen Shangshu mentioning this matter? Do you have to be the master of the house for the royal brother? ”

Chen Shangshu was choked and turned ugly, and immediately pleaded guilty to the Son of Heaven: "The old minister has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Heavenly Family. Please Emperor Mingjian. ”

Sheng Hong first gave King An an approving look, and then said lightly: "I will consider this matter, let's disperse the dynasty first!" ”

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers left, and the king of Fenyang and the king of An were left behind by the Son of Heaven.

The king of Fenyang County spoke quite implicitly: "Your Majesty, Chen Shangshu is here prepared." Today, I am afraid that someone in the DPRK and China will soon have to play a trick. ”

King An was much more direct, and sneered: "I don't know how many benefits the Zhao family has promised Chen Shangshu in private." Chen Shangshu was willing to contribute to the Zhao family. ”

The king of Fenyang County coughed vigorously and winked at King An.

King An's words had already come out, ignoring the eyes of the king of Fenyang County, and he went on: "Brother Ji went to the court to listen to the government, will Brother Lin and Brother Ting also enter the court in the future?" The imperial brother has to think clearly about this matter and make a decision. ”

"The old things must not be repeated."

King of Fenyang: "......"

The king of Fenyang County was so cold that he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

This King An is too outspoken to speak.

In the old days, the vassal kings conspired to assassinate Emperor Jian'an. When King An mentioned the old things, he pointed to the future battle for the throne...... The emperor, who has no children so far, can not be angry after listening to such heart-wrenching words?

The king of Fenyang County is mentally prepared to intercede for King An.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Hong was not angry, and even laughed: "You are right, I have to think about it." ”

The King of Fenyang County secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

King An had the audacity to say this, and he also meant to be tempting. The result of the temptation made King An suspicious. Even when he heard these words, the royal brother was not angry when he heard it.

What is the idea in the heart of the royal brother?

King An's heart fluctuated, and Sheng Hong's voice sounded in his ears: "Don't worry, I treat all my nephews equally." Brother Ji has it, Brother Lin has it, Brother Ting has it, and when Brother Yun grows up in the future, I will treat it together. ”

A remark is meaningful and remarkable.

King An didn't dare to think about it anymore, and responded with a smile: "The imperial brother is wise and martial, and he has already made a decision, but the younger brother is worried about the sky." ”

Sheng Hong glanced at King An and smiled faintly.

King An is a really smart person, and he never thinks about things that don't belong to him.

It's rare to be smart and secure.
