Chapter 100: Qin Chongzhou's Birthday Gift
As soon as Qin Chongzhou arrived at the mansion, he summoned all the secret guards, and he urgently needed to fully know what had happened during the time of amnesia and what orders he had given. But he didn't expect that this move would also evacuate all the secret guards who had always protected Zhao Chengxi in secret, putting Zhao Chengxi in danger.
Northern Zhou Kingdom.
In the room, there is a man in a white brocade dress with his eyes closed and resting on the couch, his elbow supporting his left jaw, and the green silk is untied, scattered on the couch carpet, which has a messy beauty.
At the foot of the bed sat a delicate-looking little man kneeling, pinching the legs of the collapsed man with low eyebrows. Although this little guy who is pinching his legs is already handsome, he is still much inferior to the one on the couch.
After a while, a person dressed as an attendant came in, and when he saw this scene, his steps became much lighter, and he cast an inquiring glance at the little man.
Seeing that the little man shook his head slightly, the attendant wanted to retreat. At this time, the man on the couch spoke up, his tone was lazy and a little tired, as if he was still in a half-awake state.
"What?"
"Back to the prince, my subordinates have important things to report...... the attendant stopped talking, hinting at Hu Yanjue and retiring from the idle people.
Hu Yanjue's eyes opened, and he was full of light, not as if he had just woken up from his sleep. He raised his hand and retreated, and the attendant said, "Lord Wang, there is movement over there from Taifu Yu." ”
"What? Didn't the eldest prince check the matter and say it was a rumor? ”
"That has been confirmed, it is indeed a rumor, Mrs. Yu's side was also in turmoil for a while, but recently it has been calm as usual. However, the spies reported that Yu Chenghuai quietly went out of the city last night. ”
"What did he do when he went out of the city? He didn't have to wait until the dead of night to get out of the city. Hu Yanjue also sniffed out something wrong.
"Today, the spies returned, and General Yu went in the direction of Tanglin Kingdom, and he traveled day and night, as if there was something important. However, General Yu entered the territory of Tanglin Kingdom two days later, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for spies to follow his whereabouts. ”
"What's wrong with Taifu Mansion recently?"
"There is no change, but two days ago, on Mrs. Taifu's birthday, I had a big banquet and sent an invitation to the prince, but the prince resigned because of his ill health."
"This king remembers that this king also sent a statue of Guanyin to the past." Hu Yanjue groaned, "It's really inappropriate, in the past, I didn't say that it was Mrs. Taifu's birthday, that is, Mrs. Yu's birthday, she refused the birthday congratulations of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, why did you make an exception this time?" ”
"What the prince said is that the Guogong Mansion has always been low-key, and this time it said that it wanted to be lively, not only invited officials who were good friends with the DPRK and China, but also several adults who have already said goodbye."
"Even the old man is invited back?" Hu Yanjue thought secretly.
"Lord Wang, is this birthday banquet really boring? It just so happened that the rumors of the eldest prince's survival had just subsided, and I thought that the Taifu Mansion should not have such leisure and leisure to celebrate the birthday of his wife. ”
"Did they find something? The ...... of Tanglin Kingdom" Hu Yanjue's eyelids jumped, and a thought popped out of his mind, "Is it possible...... The eldest prince was exiled to the Tanglin Kingdom? ”
The attendant also quickly realized the seriousness of the matter: "Lord, if this is the case, we should also do it as soon as possible, but if we are in the Tanglin Kingdom, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to start......
Hu Yanjue raised his hand to interrupt the attendant's words, and said coldly: "What's so difficult about this? When we can't do it, we let someone else do it for us. Send a message to that man, and the king will cooperate with him. ”
"Subordinates obey."
"In addition, find the guest list and show it to this king, those few old people quietly and carefully check out, the past official positions and the day of the banquet can have private contact with Mrs. Yu, all to this king!"
Palace.
"Hmph, this Wei Zhizhu tried his best to make his crime a big deal throughout the whole story." Zhao Chengxi watched Wei Zhizhu's recital and sneered.
Xiao Lianzi asked: "Your Majesty, this Wei Zhizhu is the hometown magistrate who bullied Lian'er?" ”
"Not bad. Give this to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and by the way, I'm not very satisfied with their recent performance, so let them watch it. In addition, send Mo Shaoling to him. ”
"The minions obey."
His Majesty suddenly summoned him, which surprised Mo Shaoling slightly. He is just a principal now, and he can't figure out what His Majesty is doing for a while.
"Mo Aiqing, ...... you" Zhao Chengxi held his cheeks and looked at Mo Shaoling a few times, "Are you fat?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is now leading the court, so he naturally eats better."
Zhao Chengxi retracted his gaze and picked up the tea in his hand: "Mo Aiqing, you have been working in the Ministry for a while, how do you feel?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, promotion, transfer and other affairs of court officials, which is the head of the six departments and the most important link in the court. However, there are many officials who are greedy for comfort and befriended their bosses. The officials are like this, other ministries and departments, and other cities can be imagined, please Your Majesty to be clear! ”
Mo Shaoling made an indignant statement and almost choked Zhao Chengxi.
Zhao Chengxi cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Your temperament has not changed, I remember, you want to go back to your hometown to be a parent official, right?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the heart of the minister has not changed."
"Okay, you're the city of Jiangzhong now. Let's get started as soon as possible. ”
"What...... Your Majesty...... I ......" Mo Shaoling was frightened by this sudden appointment.
"Feeling happy?" Zhao Chengxi felt funny when he saw Mo Shaoling like this. However, she didn't plan to let Mo Shaoling stay in Jiangzhong City for a long time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was more suitable for him.
Mo Shaoling came to his senses, was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Weichen thank Your Majesty Longen!" ”
As soon as Mo Shaoling came out of the imperial study, Zhao Chengxi sneakily took out a carving knife and a piece of jade from the box on the table, taking advantage of the moment of free time that he had stolen in his busy schedule, Zhao Chengxi concentrated on carving something on the jade.
Xiao Lianzi, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but be curious after all: "Your Majesty, you have been busy carving jade since you came back, is it any use?" ”
Zhao Chengxi raised his head and looked around, and saw that there were only two of them in the hall, and his head hung down again and continued to work: "I tell you, you have to keep it a secret, Xiao Lianzi." ”
Xiao Lianzi swore an oath: "The slave is absolutely confidential!" ”
"Qin Chongzhou's birthday is approaching, I have prepared his birthday gift before I go to Jiangzhong City, and after I come back, I think about it, it is better to engrave words on the gift, that is ingenious and unique."
"Is this piece of jade the gift prepared by His Majesty?" Xiao Lianzi has been by Zhao Chengxi's side for so long, and he has never seen any treasures, but this jade looks average and does not look like a superior thing.
"Of course not, I haven't practiced carving stones, so don't you have to practice first!"
Xiao Lianzi was a little worried: "Your Majesty, you are so attentive to preparing a congratulatory gift for the Hou Ye, if it is known, it will be terrible." ”
