After retiring from the dynasty, the emperor summoned Qin Shao in the Xuanwei Palace.

The familiar jade steps, the familiar hall, and even the floor lampshade are still the familiar picture of the dragon playing with pearls.

Qin Shaogong saluted, and the emperor ordered her to get up and approach, and she took three steps forward.

The emperor was too old to see clearly, so he beckoned: "Come closer, come up the stairs." ”

Qin Shao lifted the corner of his robe with his right hand, climbed it from the small ladder on one side, and stood in front of the dragon case, so that the emperor could see it clearly.

The boy was born very clean, and his eyes were exceptionally bright, and the emperor saw in them that the tiny image of himself reflected in the boy's pupils was as decaying as a tree, and even with a hint of jealousy and envy.

"Okay, good," the emperor praised repeatedly, and his eyes swept to King Rong: "Shao'er looks good, and I have to thank King Rong for taking care of me." ”

"I dare not be ashamed." King Rong clenched his fists and said humbly.

Qin Shao smiled: "The prince deserves it." ”

The emperor's eyes flashed: "Even the prince praised you, and you still said that it was inappropriate?" ”

King Rong glanced at Qin Shao, smirked, and bowed his hand.

"Shao'er, tell me, how does King Rong deserve it?" The emperor was also surprised, Qin Shaotong only said three sentences, one of which was to ask for a reward for King Rong, he naturally wanted to know.

"The prince will teach me to take care of the annex in the mansion with full authority, and the slaves will be transferred at will, which is very convenient for the nephew, isn't this a great care." Qin Shaodao, with a pure and sincere appearance, couldn't see anything wrong.

Only King Rong had a big alarm bell in his heart.

According to what his fourth son Rongsu said, this little prince has a deep heart in his heart, and everything he says and does has a plan, and this time he invited merit for him, I am afraid that the medicine in the gourd is also sold.

"Oh? King Rong has a heart. The emperor complimented.

"My nephew heard that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, but the prince drew such a place for me in the mansion, and my nephew thanked me tightly in his heart, and opened his mouth rashly, please don't be surprised." Qin Shao was familiar with the accusation.

Of course, the emperor didn't mean to blame, and asked some trivial matters in Yuzhou, Qin Shao also answered properly, and when the uncle and nephew talked happily, there were attendants hurriedly coming under the corridor.

The emperor glanced at it, and Qin Shao sensibly stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" The emperor asked.

Zhou Fu swept the dust and stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, it is someone from the Shizi Mansion who came to report, saying that Li Shizi has been sick for more than half a month, and now he is cured, I am here to thank you." ”

The emperor frowned: "Shizi, the one from Goryeo?" When did you get sick? ”

King Rong took half a step forward: "Your Majesty forgot, Li Shizi was infected with spring cold some time ago, and His Majesty sent the imperial doctor to take a look. ”

The emperor didn't seem to have thought about sending the imperial doctor, but it didn't prevent him from dealing with it.

"Thank you don't need it, just let the prince go back and rest." The Emperor waved his hand.

This son is not the son of another.

How is it more important to see the son of a foreign country than to see the son of his own brother?

But Qin Shao opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, Li Shizi is a foreign minister, and if you don't see it, you will teach him to be afraid." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Qin Shao pinched his palm, but King Rong took the first step and said: "The prince is young and doesn't understand the rules, Your Majesty ......"

"King Rong doesn't need to be anxious, I want to hear it." Instead of being angry, the Emperor smiled.

Qin Shao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the emperor and her father had the same attitude in the past, and they were both very willing to listen to her discuss political and military affairs.

"My nephew is stupid, but I have read a few books in the past, which say that the state is a big country, and etiquette is the most important, if we do not treat the sub-republic with courtesy, it will be a loss of prestige, and in the long run, we will lose the heart of the sub-republic." Qin Shao said with a small face, looking like he had dropped his bookbag.

The emperor slapped his thigh, pointed at Qin Shao and laughed: "You kid, you dare to give me a lecture!" Don't you know that I taught even your father's homework when he was young! ”

The fifth year of Shanglin Yuan was the time when King Yu was enlightened, but there was no good teacher and friend, the emperor could only go into battle in person, and King Rong, you and I discussed which book to learn first, which book to learn later, and finally was made big by the naughty younger brother.

Once King Yu skipped school and went out to ride a horse, and the two of them rode horses to chase them out, but the three of them played together all day and did not return until night.

In the end, he was scolded by Lord Xie, who was concerned about the chaos.

The emperor's eyes were dyed with a thin layer of dimness, and his gaze at King Rong was no longer sharp: "It's still at ease back then." ”

"Your Majesty," King Rong took half a step forward, but saw that Qin Shao stopped talking: "Your Majesty is now the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you should be more comfortable." ”

The emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he straightened his dragon robe: "That's nature." ”

Qin Shao bowed his head and was silent.

"Go, summon the son in."

"Summon, Li Shizi will meet you." Zhou Fu swept away the dust, and immediately a little waiter went out to spread the word.

Li Zhaoxin, who was stiff outside the red lacquered wooden door, looked up a little surprised, the emperor really saw him?

"Li Shizi, what are you waiting for? Get on in. ”

Li Zhaoxin immediately lifted his robe and crossed the threshold, he was dressed in the blue official uniform of the prince of Goryeo, his appearance was slightly feminine and handsome, and he knelt down and kowtowed when he entered the hall, but because he knelt too fast, he didn't see Qin Shao on the steps clearly, and only vaguely saw a young man's figure.

He was amazed.

Based on his understanding of the Great Qin Rites, the emperor was standing next to either a close eunuch or a favored minister, but it was the first time he had seen such a young favored minister.

Could he be the Commander of the Fang?

Li Zhao shook his head in confidence, it was rumored that although the leader of Fang was young, he was definitely twenty years old, and this one on the step was a young man, and he would never be more than sixteen years old, how could it be Fang Zhaoran.

Isn't it the emperor who has recently sought out a favored minister?

Li Zhaoxin suddenly reacted, when he came to Chang'an City, the prince who was in a lot of trouble entered Beijing, this little boy is probably the son of which prince, right?

A bitterness welled up in his heart.

is also under the name of the prince, he, the son of Goryeo, does not even dare to come out of the atmosphere under the fence, even if he is a saint, it depends on the emperor's mood.

However, as soon as the little prince came to Chang'an, he would be able to stand in the closest place to the Son of Heaven to accept his bowing, and he was even expected to sit in that unreachable place in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoxin couldn't help but raise his head and quietly glance at it.

The little prince on the steps actually looked back at him, the young man's appearance was clean and bright, and his toothy smile was even more dazzling than the sun outside, which conveyed excellent kindness.

Li Zhaoxin lowered his head in a panic: "Ministers, ministers are here to thank you." ”

The emperor didn't care too much whether he was afraid or afraid, he only comforted him in a harmonious voice, and was very officially concerned about the food and clothing, and when he heard Li Zhaoxin say that it was all right, he gave him something and asked him to retreat.

Li Zhaoxin hesitated and looked at Qin Shao who was standing on the side.

Qin Shao smiled kindly at him again, but taught him that the two were not meeting for the first time, but like friends who had known each other for many years.

He also learned from Fang Cai's words that it was Qin Shao who made a statement, and the emperor was willing to see him this time, so he had some plans in his heart.

This prince of King Yu probably has a good impression of him.

Although I don't know where this favor came from, Li Zhaoxin feels that the favor of the prince should be extremely beneficial to him.

"The vassals are courageous, and they ask the heavenly kingdom to send down a grace." Li Zhaoxin suddenly spoke, and his head slammed on the ground.
