Xijing, the capital of Qingxu State.

Jiawangfu.

"Lord Wang, the informant came to report that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent not only suppressed the rebellion in Nanrong, but also killed the city lord of Na Min En with his own hands. It's time to go back to Beijing in the near future. ”

"Got it, let's go down."

On the recliner, the man was dressed in a moon-white silver fine pattern brocade dress, and a large lotus pattern appeared on the white clothes. He reclined, with a resolute face, a high nose, and sharp eyes, revealing a sparkle and greed. Holding a Kunlun folding fan, wearing a light golden jade ring on his waist. Every wisp, delicate and delicate, is a declaration of their own grace and luxury.

This person's name is Xu Ziqi, and he is the third son of the former emperor. It is said that Xu Congyuan's eldest son and second son were hung up early, and he should sit on the throne. Unexpectedly, the emperor passed the throne to the most indisputable of all the princes. However, Xu Ziqi only got the title of "King Jia" and stayed in Xijing. Because of this, Xu Ziqi has always held a grudge against Xu Ziling. His Royal Highness the Regent, who was conscientious and auxiliary to the government, was naturally also affected.

"Uncle Huang...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and my nephew misses you very much. ”

Xu Ziqi laughed terribly.

"Prepare, this king is going to enter the palace to face the saint."

Qingxu Palace.

The Imperial Study.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

Emperor Xu Ziling, wearing an ink-colored dark pattern brocade robe, was sitting on a chair, but when he saw King Jia coming in, he immediately got up to greet him.

King Jia made a brief salute and got straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is on his way back to Beijing, I don't know if the emperor wants to prepare a banquet for him to catch the wind and wash the dust?" ”

"You mean Uncle Huang is coming back?" Xu Ziling's eyebrows were hard to hide his joy, "Great! Of course, the banquet must be prepared! Uncle Huang contributed to the pacification of Nanrong in Qingxu Kingdom. I will reward the emperor and the soldiers. ”

"In that case, Weichen will start to organize the banquet."

"There is Third Brother Lao."

Xu Ziling patted Xu Ziqi's shoulder casually.

It's a fake appearance of a brother and a brother.

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, King Xu Ziqi of Jiawang straightened his robe in disgust, especially the place where Xu Ziling had touched it.

"Uncle Huang, you have to go faster. This king has prepared a great gift for you. ”

Xu Ziqi's handsome and soft face showed an incongruous and gloomy expression, which frightened the consul father-in-law beside him.

"The Lord Regent is back! Your Highness is back! ”

"Regent! Regent! Regent ......"

……

Xijing City was full of cheers, and both sides of the road were crowded with people welcoming Xu Ziyi. There are even some girls who have not yet come out of the pavilion because they admire the demeanor of the regent, so they go to the attic to peep secretly, and their faces are blushing.

"Your Highness, the people are waiting for His Highness's return."

When Mo Wen saw the enthusiastic people, he couldn't help but sigh at the super popularity of his master.

"Sometimes, too much fame can lead to trouble. The pendulum will swing. Xu Ziyi was not happy that he had won the hearts of the people, he was worried that the tree would be big and powerful.

"Just now Mo replied that the emperor has ordered King Jia to prepare a reception banquet, just waiting for His Highness to attend."

"Go straight to the palace."

"Your Highness, aren't you going to go back to the mansion to bathe and change your clothes first?"

Xu Ziyi glanced at Mo Wen lightly, and said, "You say, is the emperor important, or is this king, the regent, important?" ”

"My subordinates understood."

Mo Wen was ashamed of his stupidity.

"Don't forget the principle of 'say less and do more.'"

"Your Highness Xie mentions."

Whether it's a reception banquet or a Hongmen banquet.

What is Xu Ziyi's fear?

Court Banquet.

Gardenia wine, jasper, golden foot bottle, jade gui, food is picturesque, wine is like a spring, sheng song is boiling, poor and wonderful. The main hall is decorated with ethereal flowers, the calyxes are white, bone china-like and translucent, and the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lilac, which seems to be dyed like nature.

On the throne of the gold lacquer carved dragon in the hall, Xu Ziling wore a fine-grained black-crowned dragon suit, wore a purple jade gold crown, and his long black hair was tied high. Even if it is an innocent child's face, it also has the momentum of a king who looks down on the world.

"Uncle Huang, you have worked the expedition to Nanrong and annihilated the thieves. I salute Uncle Huang for a cup and congratulate Uncle Huang on his triumph! Please! ”

Drink it all.

"It is a blessing for the minister to be able to fight for Qingxu and His Majesty."

Xu Ziyi under the seat, the inky pupils are indifferent and cold that rejects people thousands of miles away.

At this time, King Jia slowly got up to the center of the main hall, and said in a strange manner: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent personally went to Min'en City to observe the people's situation before returning to Beijing. But he accidentally killed the city lord Fan Yingtian, I don't know if this is true? ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Without the emperor's edict, cut first and then play. The Lord Regent was emboldened.

"Uncle Huang, I don't think I've heard you mention this."

"Your Majesty, what King Jia said is right. A few days ago, the minister did behead a heinous corrupt official in Min Encheng. Xu Ziyi looked straight at Xu Ziling on the dragon chair, and did not see the slightest panic, "The minister thinks that officials like Fan Yingtian, who fish and flesh the common people and collect taxes privately, are moths of the imperial court, and their crimes are unforgivable, and their crimes should be punished." At that time, the situation was urgent, and it was a dereliction of duty for His Majesty to fail to report to His Majesty in time. I hope that Your Majesty will condemn the crime. ”

"I ......"

"Your Majesty, although it is said that there is a reason for it, but the rules are the rules. If everyone treats the law of propriety as nothing as the regent, how can the laws of the court convince the people? Xu Ziqi took the first step to speak.

Is King Jia planning to bite Xu Ziyi and hold on?

Xu Ziyi coldly glanced at Xu Ziqi, who was a demon, and his eyes were full of mockery and disdain.

"Hey, third brother, this is a bad word!" Qingwang Xu Zijiu stood up from the banquet and saluted, and said: "The ancients said: 'The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill'. In my opinion, Uncle Huang is not at fault at all. If the corrupt officials are eliminated later, the Qingxu court will be more dangerous. You say, yes or no? ”

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is thinking about Qingxu's Jiangshan Sheji, if he is easily punished, won't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers in the world?" Cui Dakang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up and seconded Xu Zijiu's views.

"yes, yes......"

It seems that most of the ministers of the court and China are on the side of the regent and the green king. Then, King Jia, who was still vibrating a few seconds ago, was embarrassed.

"Xiao Jiu has grown up, which really impresses this king!"

Xu Ziqi looked at Xu Zijiu indignantly, it was obvious resentment.

"The third brother looks up to me. Xiao Jiu is just talking about things and expressing his truest thoughts. didn't mean to contradict the third brother. ”

Xu Zijiu's words made Xu Ziling feel that Uncle Huang was right to kill people, and he didn't want to investigate further.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Huang, third brother, we are all a family, 'harmony is precious'. Besides, Xiao Jiu is right. Jiawang, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Xu Ziqi raised an imperceptible arc on the side of his mouth.

"It's the stupidity of the micro-ministers. However, Weichen still has one more thing, he wants to ask His Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

The silk and bamboo wind music in Ling Chen's hall had stopped for some time, and the huge palace suddenly became audible. Everyone held their breath and waited to enjoy King Jia's good performance of attacking Xu Ziyi.

Xu Ziqi clapped his hands, and two guards brought a burly man nine inches tall into the hall.

"Wechen see Your Majesty." The man has a rough face and a strong voice, and he looks like a military general.

"Hey, isn't this Vice General Li under the command of the Regent?"

"yes, yes, what is he doing here? Didn't you say that Li Da died in the Battle of Nanrong? ”

……

In the main hall, the courtiers whispered, all puzzled and confused.
