"Your Majesty, Old Duan Ge is here."

Zhang Zhen walked in and whispered to him who was sitting cross-legged on the terrace.

He paused for a moment before slowly raising his head, his eyes fell on a rose under the vermilion bar, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Zhen bowed and said, "I came for the marriage of His Royal Highness." ”

The emperor was silent and waved his hand to let in.

Speaking from the heart, he doesn't like Yin Yao either. Speaking of which, he doesn't like any of these three royal grandsons. Even if it's Yin Yu, he just appreciates. If you like someone, you have to do it from the bottom of your heart, you will think about what is good for him, what he will be happy to see him, he has no such feelings for Yin Yu. But once he had, such a short period of time.

There was a slight sound of clothes at the door, and Duan Zhongming came in.

After entering the door and making a big salute, the emperor raised his hand and called for a seat.

"You're here for Yin Yao's marriage?" He asked.

Duan Zhongming bowed his head, "A while ago, the emperor ordered to marry His Royal Highness, and the Ministry of Rites selected several ladies. These ladies have already been introduced, and they are not young, so I came to ask the emperor to show whether to exempt these ladies from choosing concubines and let them marry on their own, or do you handle this matter now? ”

He handed the roster in his hand to the emperor.

Zhang Zhen took it and handed it over to the emperor.

The Ministry of Rites had already drafted a few ladies, and they were waiting for the emperor to be selected, but who expected that Ding Jun and Yin Lei were suddenly robbed, so the marriage was also delayed.

Yin Yao is already sixteen years old this year, and according to the rules, the three media and six hires are hired, and it will be at least a year before they get married. And after the engagement, he had to open a house to live in another house, he felt that it was okay, and he had to face the problem by himself and solve it by himself when he left the palace, which was also a way to train him. Didn't Yin Yu just crawl outside and become so powerful?

He can't protect him for a lifetime, he must have the ability to carry this country.

If this matter is delayed because of the chaos of the party, it will be very unreasonable.

He took the booklet, flipped through it, and said, "Let's do it." As for which lady to choose, let Concubine De help pick it. ”

Although it should be chosen by the crown princess, but the crown princess is Yin Yu's biological mother, can he trust her? Princess Chu was picked by Concubine De, and when several princesses picked the attached horse, Concubine De also gave a reference, and later it turned out that her vision was very good, and there was nothing uneasy about letting Concubine De pick him.

Duan Zhongming bowed his head and withdrew.

The emperor also stood up on the ground and motioned for Zhang Zhen to go down to the garden for a walk.

The two went down the wooden steps, and the emperor said, "Where did Yin Yao go?" ”

These days, it is said that Yin Yao is sick in the Qianqing Palace, but he is not as sick as the legend says, and sometimes he can't avoid guests, which is just a way to avoid choices. Therefore, Yin Yao was not always by his side, most of the time, he asked him to read books in the side hall or take some political affairs to test his contingencies and countermeasures.

Zhang Zhen said: "His Royal Highness is looking at the border map of the northwest and southeast. ”

The Emperor sneered, "What kind of map is he looking at?" He knows what to look at? ”

Zhang Zhen lowered her head and smiled, "The slave also felt fresh, so he asked." It turns out that His Royal Highness has had the habit of looking at the map for many years, speaking of which, when Xie Rong was a waiter in the East Palace, he explained to His Royal Highness the situation of my court, and His Royal Highness has since taken the matter of border defense to heart and gradually cultivated it. ”

The emperor's footsteps paused, "Xie Rong? ”

Zhang Zhen looked at the ground, "Yes, Xie Rong." ”

The emperor looked at the towering sycamore tree in front of him and thought of the talented and intelligent man.

Xie Rong was one of the few people he had seen in his decades in power who could immediately remember his face, and from the first time he saw this person, he felt a kind of tenacious strength in him, a kind of ruthlessness that could survive tenaciously even if there was only one breath left, so at that time, when he was young, he was full of vigorous breath.

This person is easy to impress, whether it is his talent, his temperament, or his positivity and his persistence, and even his ingratitude when he was willing to report Ji Zhenyuan at the last moment in order to protect himself.

In fact, he never thought that Xie Rong was wrong for reporting Ji Zhenyuan, Ji Zhenyuan himself was guilty, and the imperial court was also offering a reward to collect witness evidence, Xie Rong, as a subordinate who was kept in the dark, it is not difficult to understand that he jumped out to protect his last bit of interests at this time, and he also believes that a person who can really achieve great things sometimes needs this kind of determination and courage that his relatives do not recognize.

What he hated about him at that time was actually what he did to Yin Yu. But now that I think about it, his hatred is also a kind of forced hatred, and he is forced to hate his grandfather, and his "hatred" is not from the bottom of his heart, because Xie Rong murdered his grandson, and the sincere hatred that arises.

So in the end, as soon as Zhang Zhen's words came out, he couldn't make the will to cut him down and exile.

He put him at the bottom of the court and left him to fend for himself under Jin Yong. Jin Yong kicked him out, which was not unexpected, he didn't have any capital to compete with Jin Yong at all, he would be out, it was certain.

Of course, he also has a bit of a pity, but it's a pity that he is talented and capable, but since he was kicked out, he has no need to sigh for him anymore.

Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, I heard his name again.

"Xie Rong, what have you been doing lately?"

Zhang Zhen said calmly: "I heard that it was quite unlucky, but I just suggested a few words to King Zheng, asking him to stand up for the emperor and relieve the worries and relieve the current situation in the court. ”

"Hmm."

The Emperor frowned, his voice sank.

It turned out that it was Xie Rong's idea that King Zheng would be so eye-catching, how could he become so clever when he was still King Zheng? It's actually to blame someone else, what an idiot!

"Then Xie Rong is not a coward, how can you let him smash it?" He turned around.

Zhang Zhen raised his head: "Then Xie Rong is just a commoner now, King Zheng is the prince, not to mention smashing his home, I am afraid that he will not dare to say anything even if he is driven back to Hejian and then occupy his mansion." ”

"Nonsense!" The emperor reprimanded, "Xie Rong is also a jinshi who came out of my court, even if he has been cut down, this dignity is also there!" Since ancient times, it has been said that the punishment cannot be a sergeant, although King Zheng did not torture him, but he also swept the face of the world's scholars! Why did he chase him?! When did my Da Yin's clan relatives become so domineering? ”

Zhang Zhen didn't dare to speak.

The Emperor snorted, folded his hands, and turned around and walked forward.

Zhang Zhen looked at his back for a moment and followed.

The emperor handed over Yin Yao's marriage to Concubine De to do Xie Wan knew that day, she had a good relationship with Concubine De, it had rained heavily on this day, and the weather was rare and cool, so Xie Wan took Yin Yao to the palace to meet the concubines.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu were discussing Yin Yao's marriage in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Imperial Garden, and when they heard that Yin Xu was coming, the two looked at each other and smiled, then got up and waited for the little man waving wicker to run over.

Yin Xu unexpectedly threw himself in front of the two, raised the wicker and shouted, "Niangniang, the branch to see you off!" Branches to see off! "He's almost two years old, and he has a lot of people around him, and he speaks earlier, and he can already say short sentences like that.

Concubine De bent down and sat down, smiled and narrowed her eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Yo, how do you know that this is a branch to see you off?" ”

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "It must have been taught by his mother!" Didn't Chiyang say last time that Wan Yatou was very good at Wei and Jin, and I don't think there would be anyone else. ”

Xie Wan, who arrived quickly, heard this, and also smiled: "The princess still told the ladies this?" It's a laugh. ”

Concubine De took Yin Xu's little hand and said, "Xu'er said, who taught it?" ”

Yin Xu pointed his thumb at Xie Wan: "Mother taught me." ”

Everyone laughed together.

Xie Wan's eyes slipped to the famous post on the table, and said casually: "I heard that the two mothers are working on the marriage of the Second Highness, and I don't know which lady you have chosen?" ”

The emperor wants to get married, and she can't interfere with this marriage, but she knows that she will not be defeated in a hundred battles, how can she not inquire about such an important matter in advance?

Although this matter is not a big deal to say directly, the relationship between the East Palace and the Qianqing Palace is so delicate, and this is a matter of the emperor's own generation, it is said that Concubine De has stayed in the palace for a lifetime, and she should be tight-lipped in front of Xie Wan for this matter.

But people's vision has to take a long-term view after all, no matter who becomes the prince in the future, they can't escape the prince ascending the throne as the emperor, after the emperor has a big trip in the future, these concubines and concubines will have to go to the palace to follow the heirs to retire, at that time, Yin Yu, as the eldest son of the queen, will rarely have a place to rely on them, so for the Anmu Palace, they are as far as possible not to offend.

At this time, Xie Wan is curious about Yin Yao's marriage, how can they really hide it to death?

What's more, there are no eyebrows.

Concubine De pinched Yin Xu's chubby little fleshy paws, put the preserved fruit in his hand, and said jokingly: "I remember that when Princess Jiyang chose the attached horse, it also took two or three years to choose the later attached horse. It can be seen that although there are many people in this world, it is very difficult to be suitable everywhere. Like our King Anmu and the princess, it was really God who opened the back door, and he had already arranged and waited! ”

Although it was a joke, Xie Wan heard it, and it turned out that these people selected by the Ministry of Rites, Concubine Lide, did not take a fancy to it. The Ministry of Rites is in the hands of Duan Zhongming, Duan Zhongming originally had a private enmity with Ji Zhenyuan, and later followed Yin Yu's side, so naturally he would not choose a woman with a good background for Yin Yao. The emperor must have seen it too, so he handed it over to Concubine De.

Concubine De is caught in the middle, but both sides want to be happy, which shows how hard this matter is.

Xie Wan clicked to the end, and just said according to what he said.

Concubine Shu said: "It has just rained, there is a lot of humidity here, and it is not good for Brother Xu to stay for a long time, so it is better to go back to the palace." I happened to get a few things from the West and wanted to give them to Brother Xu'er to play with, but you just came. ”

Concubine De even claimed that it was, so the group returned to the harem in a soft chariot.

Out of the imperial garden, I walked down, although the palace twisted and overlapped, but all the way to the Yonghe Palace where the concubine was located, but it was not long.

Passing by the Zhongcui Palace, which was uninhabited after the queen's death, I saw that the palace gate that had already been sealed was opened, and there were people in and out of the side hall. Xie Wan didn't care about it at first, but when he saw Concubine De Shufei stop, he also stopped.

Zhong Cui Palace was the main palace where Empress Xuanhui lived back then, and I don't know how many years it has been closed.

Empress Xuanhui is not the biological mother of the current prince, but the emperor's queen Yuan, Empress Xuanhui seems to have died soon after entering the palace, after a few years, and then the emperor naturally set up Concubine Yu as the queen, when the prince was only five years old, Concubine De and Concubine Shufei they were a concubine at that time, a nobleman,
