Chapter 531: Intercession

Min Bai inquired for a long time, although his father Yan Chengdi's face was not very good, he had not heard of any serious illness, and the court was still very diligent.

In fact, since Emperor Yan Cheng ascended the throne, except for the violent death of Jin Xuanzhi, when Naxiao Mingzhu was a nobleman, he took a two-day break due to the festival, and basically did not delay the early dynasty.

But Xiao Mingzhu is also tepid in the palace now, living like an invisible person.

And the emperor seems to be concentrating on state affairs, and he doesn't pay much attention to the harem ladies. Except for going to see Concubine Zhang Shu from time to time, the rest of the people, even if they look like immortals, can't arouse the emperor's interest.

In fact, if you really want to check, it is easiest to go to Tai Hospital to check. But if this is the case, it will definitely alarm the emperor. At that time, the relationship between father and son will be difficult to protect.

So His Royal Highness the King of Han thought about it, he didn't do this in the end, but paid attention to the imperial tomb that his father asked him to repair.

If it is said that the first emperor spent 800,000 quintals of grain to repair the mausoleum, the imperial mausoleum that Emperor Yan Cheng wanted to repair only needed 200,000 quintals of grain to survive.

This was requested by Emperor Yan Cheng himself.

With the dignity of the emperor, it can no longer be saved.

So Min Bai became more and more strange.

His father is obviously not a person who likes to make great achievements, and he doesn't mean it at all. Then why do you suddenly want to collect grain from Jiangnan and build a mausoleum for yourself?

The father and emperor are not the official orders, can he not know the prophet and know that he is going to die, so he rushed to build a simple imperial mausoleum for himself?

It doesn't make sense at all!

So Min Bai thought about it and found only one explanation.

Maybe my father had a strange nightmare, indicating that he was going to die, so he wanted to build a mausoleum to rush it, right?

But can you, don't put all the burden on him?

With the current natural disaster in Qingding and the two states, he is really overwhelmed.

His Royal Highness the King of Han was about to find someone to intercede with him, and then the man came to the door himself.

Concubine Xu Xian's brother, Min Bai's uncle Xu Tong, was sitting at home this day, and suddenly remembered something and asked someone to prepare pen and ink, planning to write a letter to Min Bai.

Aunt Xu was surprised, "What big deal can you have, and it's worth writing a letter to your nephew?" ”

Xu Daodao, "Isn't that a disaster in Qingzhou and Dingzhou?" I heard that there is not much food this year, so I want to write to him and ask his daughter-in-law not to give us a New Year's gift. I went to my relatives and said, how can I let my child worry about this? ”

Aunt Xu listened reasonably, "Don't just talk about it, or this year's New Year's ceremony, let's prepare it." Even if it's not as good as a nephew and daughter-in-law, it's a meaning. ”

Xu Tong was even more willing, and said that Mrs. had worked hard, and the two of them wrote a letter while calculating their family finances.

Who knew that it was only half of the writing, Fang Lao's father, Fang Laozi, and Xue Shen's father Xue Father came together.

The Xue family and the Xu family live very close to each other and can be regarded as neighbors.

Back then, I got acquainted with His Royal Highness and the beautiful girl's kindness, and in the past few years, I have gradually moved around, and I am very close.

Xu Tong was happy, "What kind of wind is blowing you here?" Please sit down and serve tea! ”

"Who's in the mood for tea?" Father Fang hurriedly said, "Haven't you heard? His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he was sent by the emperor to repair the emperor's mausoleum! ”

Yes?

Xu Tong was taken aback, and Father Xue said, "This is true. My nephew in the Ministry of War heard about it, and he was afraid that he would hear about it, so he asked my family Xue Liang to find Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites, who was the one who had been the county commander of Shuanghe Town in the past, and inquired again, but it was true. ”

Xu Tong couldn't sit still now, "The two of you are young to accompany you, then I have to hurry up and take a look." ”

Fang Xue and the others came to report the news, which is what it meant.

After all, His Royal Highness the King of Han has a noble status, and it is not good for them to run, but Xu Tong is the most suitable.

My uncle looks at my nephew, and he doesn't have a serious official position, so it's just right to put it anywhere.

So, Xu Tong hurriedly rode a horse, took two family members, and rushed to the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of Beijing before the sun set.

Min Bai's eyes lit up, "Uncle came just in time, and I was about to send someone to invite you!" ”

His Royal Highness the King of Han pondered for a while, and it was not appropriate to let others intercede. Only his uncle, who has no official position and no position, is honest and has not been ostentatious for 800 years. I'm afraid that he will go to his father to talk about it, and he can give him some affection.

If this is the first time Xu Tong has heard his nephew begging him to do serious things, he immediately agreed.

"You also know uncle, stupid and stupid, if you don't think I'm bad, I'll go to the emperor for you to talk about it."

Min Bai said, "It is in people to plan things, and it is in heaven to make things happen." Don't be reluctant, uncle, seeing that your father is not happy, don't say it. You should go and take a look at my sister Hong, who was born like a mother and concubine, very much like my uncle's family. ”

Yo!

Sister Hong is also here?

This was too surprising and unexpected, Xu Tong complained that he didn't report the letter earlier, so that he could prepare a gift for his niece and granddaughter.

Min Bai couldn't bear the little smugness of the dazzling girl, "What are you going to prepare?" A junior, my uncle just went to see her. Don't look at the girl's young age, she is articulate, she will be called a long time ago, and she loves to talk very much. ”

Xu Tong was happy to hear it, "Then she looks like your grandmother." Your grandmother is just a talker, and she is enthusiastic about taking care of things. Only her old man always chattered, saying that I was with your mother, but none of them were like her. ”

His Highness's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Strange way." My mother-in-law came to see Sister Hong before, and she also said that she was like a person who loves to take care of things, but I don't know who she followed, but it turned out that she had a provenance. ”

It was dark, and Xu Tong couldn't rush back to the capital. His Royal Highness simply ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and talked to his uncle and uncle about some homely things, and talked for half a night before resting.

Early the next morning, Xu Tong had something on his mind, got up early for breakfast, said goodbye to Min Bai, and rushed back to the capital.

Jia Ding also said, "Last night, the lord was so interested, and I chatted with His Highness for a long time. ”

Xu Tong smiled and didn't answer, but he thought in his heart that his nephew had become a family member and was much more stable.

In the past, I saw these elders, although they were also polite and respectful, but they didn't know what to say, but now they are much more easy-going.

I was very anxious to talk to him about some parents, trivial, and not big, but the feelings were more close.

Xu Tong talked about the gift, but Min Bai didn't insist, and thanked his uncle for his understanding. However, he also said that he would let his daughter-in-law send some skin care products from Yuanlin, and then give them to his relatives together, which would also be decent and good-looking.

is so discussed, so that Xu Tong feels that he is no longer the useless uncle, and he can help his nephew, and he is also very comfortable.

Of course, he knows that his nephew can have such a change, and it is his daughter-in-law who marries well.

Listening to Min Bai's words, three sentences without leaving the beautiful girl, I know that the relationship between the two is very good. And the beautiful girl is a sensible and filial person, and now she is willing to live with Concubine Xu Xian, so she knows that she is good.

What kind of character does Concubine Xu Xian, how can Xu Tong not know?

To be honest, sometimes even he thinks this sister is too ignorant. The beautiful lady is still willing to live with her, and she is really a good daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Xu Tong was also energetic, and hurriedly asked the family to prepare a gift for Sister Hong, and here he handed over the sign and asked to enter the palace to see him.
