It's just that the memories of the old things between him and this so-called old man are not pleasant.

Xiao Mu saluted the emperor sitting on the Luohan couch, and did not dare to call the person of his age next to him for the first time.

Until the emperor spoke: "This is my nephew Li Jin, and it should be the first time I have met Xiao Qing......"

Xiao Mu then raised his hand and saluted: "I have seen the king of Hedong." ”

Li Jin's father is the brother of the emperor's mother, and Li Jin just took the throne of Hedong last year.

"Xiao Jieji doesn't have to be polite." King Hedong looked at Xiao Mu, with a smile in his tone: "We have a wide range of resources, and in comparison, Yingzhou is barely a neighbor from Hedong Road, but even so, this time Xiao Wang is also fortunate to see Xiao Jie's envoy himself." ”

Xiao Mu lowered his eyes slightly: "In recent years, there have been frequent wars in Yingzhou, and I have not been able to go to see him, so forgive me." ”

King Hedong smiled disapprehantly: "Xiao Jie's envoy is serious, I am in Hedong, how can I not know that Xiao Jie's envoy has been busy in recent years?" ”

Hearing the dark thorns in the other party's words, Xiao Mu's face did not fluctuate.

When he was young, he was extremely disagreeable with this person, and even injured the other party with his hands - the reason why he hid in the water pavilion of the eldest princess's mansion that year was because of this incident.

And after many years, I haven't seen it, and this person's character and style are still not growing.

"This time I summoned Xiao Qing, in fact, there is a matter to discuss......," the emperor sat on the Luohan couch, his complexion seemed to be a little better than a few days ago, but it was only a little.

Xiao Mu: "But there is an errand, Your Majesty can only command." ”

It's been more than ten days since he presented the "treasure map", and everything seems to be relatively calm - but he knows that under this calm, no one has stopped weighing and considering.

Especially the emperor.

Let's look at the results of this consideration today.

"Jin'er grew up under my watch, and I trust him very much...... However, he is still young, and he has inevitably been pampered since he was a child, and he really lacks experience, and this time he took over Hedong Road, I am afraid that he will be exhausted in military affairs and land affairs in the future, and Hedong Road and Lulong Road have many similarities......"

The emperor said slowly: "Therefore, I intend to ask Xiao Qing to take Jin'er with him for a period of time when he returns to the north in the future, one is to have more opportunities for Yingzhou to practice, and the other is to be taught by Xiao Qing by words and deeds to broaden his horizons." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Mu: "I don't know what Xiao Qing thinks." ”

Xiao Mu's face was as usual: "The minister has no objections." ”

"Okay." The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I know that Xiao Qingming is righteous......"

As he spoke, he looked at King Hedong: "Jin'er, follow Xiao Qing in the future, you have to ask for advice on everything, but don't let me and Xiao Qing down." ”

The king of Hedong responded respectfully: "Yes, my nephew must keep it in mind." ”

"Since Xiao Qing is willing to agree, then the matter will be decided first." The emperor said with a smile: "The specific matters can be discussed slowly later." ”

Xiao Mu should be "yes": "Everything is arranged by His Majesty." ”

The emperor asked some more about Xiao Mu's affairs after entering Beijing, showing concern: "...... Xiao Qing has lived in the north for a long time, and he has come to Beijing to adapt to his diet and daily life? ”

"Your Majesty Lao is concerned, everything is fine."

The Emperor smiled and nodded.

After half a cup of tea, Xiao Mu withdrew from the dormitory.

The king of Hedong also retreated.

"Liu Qian, in your opinion...... Does Dingbei Hou have different intentions? The emperor stared at the direction in which Xiao Mu had just left, and asked the confidant and eunuch beside him thoughtfully.

Liu Qian's face was complicated and said: "The slave is clumsy, but she can't tell the difference......"

The emperor sneered weakly: "I see that you are not clumsy, but afraid that you will say the wrong thing and cause trouble." ”

Liu Qian just smiled and didn't say much.

The emperor clenched his fingers slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I want to give him a chance, protect him everywhere, and treat him very tolerant...... I only hope that he will not be ignorant of the lift, and learn from his predecessors to do such unfaithful and unrighteous stupid things that kill him......"

Liu Qian lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is merciful......"

"Xiao Jie envoy and stay."

Out of the emperor's bedroom, King Hedong called out to Xiao Mu, who was walking in front.

Xiao Mu stopped, slightly sideways and lowered his eyes to wait.

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest hint of enthusiasm, King Hedong came over with his displeasure, and said with a smile: "Why did Xiao Jie's envoy go so fast?" In the future, you and I will work together, this king originally thought that he would set up a banquet tonight to entertain the envoys of Xiao Jie, so that they could get acquainted with each other...... At the moment, it seems that this king is self-righteous and has done too much? ”

Xiao Mu had no intention of paying attention to his feelings: "Xiao Moujie is a martial artist, it is indeed not worthy of the prince's banquet." In the evening, there is still official business to cook, so I will take the first step. ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted, turned around and left the place.

Seeing the back walking away, the king of Hedong sneered heavily: "It's just that I was lucky to win a few battles, and I dare to pick up a shelf in front of this king, I really don't know what to do!" ”

He was born with the surname Li, and he was a child of the clan, and a subordinate who guarded the country for their Li family dared to be so unsightly!

This disgusting appearance really looks like a person......

However, the man had long since turned to ashes, and the whole family was dead!

Thinking of this, King Hedong's eyes showed a look of relief, and then he looked in the direction of Xiao Mu's departure, and his anger dissipated a lot-Uncle Huang asked him to go to Yingzhou to practice, how could he really be just an experience?

One day, he will take the military power of Lu Longjun into his pocket, and see if this person can still be so arrogant.

King Hedong looked disdainful, raised his foot and kicked a stone flying at his feet, and said with his hand: "Lead the way to the East Palace, this king returned to Beijing at the beginning of last night, and he still has time to visit His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The inner supervisor should be lowered and lead the way with his head bowed on the front side.

All the way to the East Palace, when King Hedong was just about to cross the palace gate, he was attracted by a figure coming out of the East Palace.

The girl was dressed in a red skirt, holding two books in her arms, accompanied by Gong E.

King Hedong's gaze swept over the girl's slender figure and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hengyu also saw the person coming in front of him at this time, and when he subconsciously avoided to the side, he only heard Gong'e beside him remind in a low voice: "It should be the king of Hedong." ”

She is the big palace maid in the East Palace, and she knows people well, so she avoids the side and salutes.

Hengyu lowered his head.

However, in his sight, he saw that the man stopped when he walked in front of him, and then a laughing voice came from above his head: "I don't know which little lady this is?" This king had never seen it before when he was in the capital. ”

"Back to the prince, this is the lady of the Ji family who teaches the lord of Jiayi County." Knowing a little about the character of this king of Hedong, Gong E replied instead of Hengyu.

The king of Hedong "tsk": "This king is talking to this little lady, is it your turn to talk more?" ”

"Teaching Jiayi?" King Hedong's gaze fell on Hengyu's face, and said with a smile: "According to this, the little lady should be the female official who teaches Jiayi etiquette?" No wonder it is so extraordinary, so that this king will feel his eyes light up when he sees it. ”

Listening to such remarks, Heng Yu let out a "heh" in his heart.

It seems that it is her honor to be able to make him "shine".

"The prince praised it falsely." She didn't want to say more, and the blessed body was about to leave.

However, just as she was about to retreat, the other party suddenly stretched out her hand and reached out to the top of her head, Hengyu turned her head to dodge, and felt that the bead flower on her head had been plucked.

"This pearl flower is very beautiful, is it good for the lady to give it to this king as a thought?"

Hengyu lowered his eyes slightly, and his tone was calm: "It's just a bead flower, and the prince wants to take it." ”

Hearing this, King Hedong raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him who did not show any panic or shame.

Immediately, I heard her say again: "It's just that the prince has returned to Beijing for the first time, and today he should be called into the palace - I know, since the prince has a casual temperament, it's just a little joke." If you don't know, I'm afraid that you will misunderstand the prince's behavior Meng Lang is frivolous and insignificant, if it reaches His Majesty's ears again, won't the prince have to bother to explain when he arrives? ”

King Hedong's eyes changed slightly, and his gaze swept over the inner eunuch and the female envoy of the East Palace beside him without a trace.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "The little lady is too worried, and this king originally just wanted to make a joke." ”

He handed over the bead flower and said with a smile: "This bead flower will be returned to the little lady." ”

Hengyu stretched out his hand to take it, without saying much, and after a blessing salute, he left with Gong'e.

King Hedong watched the figure disappear behind the palace gate, his eyes became a little more interested, and he casually asked the inner supervisor on his side: "The surname is Ji, which Ji family?" ”

"Yankang Fang Ji family, Mr. Qinghan's granddaughter."

The king of Hedong let out an "oh" and walked forward: "It's cold...... How many years have they been dead, and now there is anyone else in this Ji family who can stand up? ”

"The grandson of Mr. Qinghan, who was born as a Jinshi, is now serving as a housekeeper in this East Palace."

The king of Hedong was still full of disdain, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a little house...... If I'm not mistaken, Qinghan is such a grandson. ”

The inner supervisor did not answer again, but only bowed his head to lead the way.

"Ji Niangzi is scared?" On the way out of the East Palace, Nagong E asked softly.

Hengyu smiled and shook his head: "No." ”

Who will be scared by a fly.

Cuihuai waited outside the gate of the inner palace, saw Hengyu, and hurriedly greeted him as usual.

The master and servant went out of the palace together, and when they got into the carriage in front of the palace gate, they saw a familiar figure standing on the side of the horse.

The man was stubble, dressed in golden sunset, as if he were in the painting with the black satin horse beside him.

He didn't know if he had just walked here, or if he had deliberately waited for her when she would leave the palace.

At this time, the two of them looked at each other from afar under the golden sunset, and neither of them spoke.

Cuihuai looked at her own girl for a while, and looked at Marquis Xiao not far away for a while, but she didn't make a sound to break this silent beauty for a while.

The glow darkened the twilight, and Hengyu smiled.

Xiao Mu's eyebrows were also soft, and after a while, he jumped on horseback.

Hengyu also got into the carriage.

"When you get close to Taipingfang later, you will sell this pearl flower." Hengyu sat in the carriage, handed the bead flower in his hand to Cuihuai, and wiped his hands with a wet cloth towel on the small table, and said: "When the silver is sold, buy some buns and send them to the beggars near the Pure Industry Temple." ”

Cuihuai was stunned, but he didn't ask much, he just came down.

……

The next day, the emperor who had not been in court for more than ten days appeared on the Jinluan Palace.

Many officials who came with a majestic and high-spirited speech were mostly temporarily discouraged when they saw this-without it, they did not dare to provoke this majesty.

In general, the crown prince's acting government is quite fair, so now most of their imperial history platforms have reached a consensus in private that "they will not face saints unless necessary".

In comparison, those officials of the scholar clan led by Jiang Zhengfu did not have such a high consciousness.

They had many political disagreements with the crown prince, so they took the opportunity of the emperor's early dynasty to express themselves - although they were obviously doing things, it was not difficult to hear the implicit dissatisfaction with the prince.

The emperor coughed and coughed when he heard this, and the inner supervisor frequently stepped forward to pat him on the back.

Seeing that he would not announce the matter again, he was afraid that he would have to invite a doctor again, so the emperor took advantage of the gap when no one had spoken after coughing, and said, "...... I plan to let the king of Hedong temporarily take up the post of defense envoy of Yingzhou, and after the Qianqiu Festival, I will go to Yingzhou with Xiao Qing to experience. ”

There was silence in the main hall.

Immediately, the king of Hedong came out to thank him: "My nephew will definitely live up to Your Majesty's love, and I will go to Lulongdao, and I will follow Xiao Jie's envoy with my heart, experience myself, and forge my mind, so that I can share my worries for Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible." ”

The prince's eyes moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but realized that it was too late.

The father and emperor finalized the matter in public, and obviously arranged everything properly-

The prince turned his head slightly and looked at Xiao Mu, only to see that he was calm and calm, and there was no different color.

The crown prince couldn't help but think that his father had summoned Marquis Xiao into the palace yesterday afternoon......

After the early dispersal, the hundred officials left in twos and threes, mostly talking in low voices.

"It is said that the position of defense envoy is mostly concurrently held by the assassin history, or the defense envoy is no longer placed in the knotting degree...... Your Majesty's move seems to have another meaning......"

This is clearly a grandiose eyeliner......

Some people whispered: "If it's just to put eyeliner, it's okay......"

I'm afraid, this eyeliner has lived in the north for a long time, relying on the background of the clan and the support of His Majesty, and after a long time, he will divide the military power and even take it all in......

"The meaning of it, how can the Marquis of Dingbei not know ......"

"Be careful."

Some of the people who saw the wind and the rudder gathered around the king of Hedong and began to talk.

The king of Hedong enjoyed this very much - he was born into the royal family, and this was everything he deserved.

"Ling Gong...... How could he be the king of Hedong? ”

Jiang Zhengfu returned to the Zhongshu Provincial Pavilion and sat down, and several officials surrounded him.

"This king of Hedong is obsessed with wine in private, and his temperament is flamboyant, how can he be of great use......"

"Reminding Your Majesty that the matter of placing a defensive envoy in Yingzhou is indeed the proposal of this official." Jiang Zhengfu frowned slightly and said, "But it is Your Majesty's intention to choose someone as the king of Hedong." ”

"Your Majesty is confused." Ma Cunyuan, the secretary of the ministry, sighed and said: "King Hedong, this ......."

- This product is not even as good as the unruly rebel Ma Zhe in his family!

Jiang Zhengfu said meaningfully: "Your Majesty now only dares to choose shallow people. ”

And the people fell silent.

Isn't this called rushing to the doctor?

"Well, that's all there is to it for the time being." Jiang Zhengfu's eyes darkened slightly: "Let's see how Beihou will react after Dingbeihou...... It will be some time before he returns to the Northlands. ”

Ma Cunyuan and others will understand.

There is still some time......

That means that no one knows if there will be other "changes" in the future.

……

On the other side, King Hedong followed the prince and went to the East Palace.

For three days in a row, he could always find an excuse to go to the East Palace for a spin, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to see.

Until this day, he heard from the palace that Hengyu taught the master of Jiayi County-

------Off topic------

Ask for a monthly pass, there will be a blast in the second half of the month!

(Good night ^_^)
