In the health hall of the palace, Emperor Zhao Yongyi was having breakfast. The meal is very simple, a bowl of white porridge, two side dishes, and two imperial chefs specialize in small flower rolls, but His Majesty the Emperor eats it exquisitely.

A black-clad shadow guard walked in briskly, handing over the secret letter he had just gotten in both hands. The chief of the chamberlain standing behind Zhao Yongyi glanced at the shadow guard with a reckless look, which made the shadow guard a little overwhelmed.

His Majesty the Emperor saw the embarrassment of the shadow guard in front of him, and immediately understood what was going on, turned his head to look at Diao Mang, who was squeezing his eyebrows, and said, "What? Eyes are uncomfortable? Find an imperial doctor to show you! ”

Diao Mang's face was embarrassed, and he said cautiously: "Ouch, don't dare, don't dare." Your Majesty, it's been a long time since you've eaten properly, and now I see you're eating well, so ......"

The shadow guard also seemed to feel that he should not be affected by the chief of the chamberlain, and hurriedly leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "The minister knows his mistake!" ”

Zhao Yongyi waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you can step down." ”

After the shadow guard retreated, Zhao Yongyi opened the envelope, and the same as last time, the news from Vientiane Hall.

"The assassin of Tang Ying, Prince Fu's subordinates."

A simple cross, so that His Majesty the Emperor no longer has the heart to use breakfast. He got up and walked over to the red candle, burned the note, and fell into deep thought.

The eunuch Diao Mang on the side was also frowning, His Majesty finally had a great appetite, and before he could eat much, he was completely lost in his appetite by this note, which was hateful!

For Emperor Zhao Yongyi, first the county guard of Pyongan County, Gyeonggi Province, who was entrusted with the important task, participated in arms smuggling, and then Prince Fu Zhao Jingtang participated in the assassination of his own people, which was to beat his old face, and he was beaten very hard.

"Diao Mang, do you say that this Zhao Jingtang knows what he is doing, how did I not know that he still has such a dark side before?" The Emperor threw the question to the Chief Chamberlain.

Diao Mang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old slave, the old slave doesn't understand this, you still don't know how many catties and taels I have." ”

Looking at the recklessness and mud, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but smile and said: "You cunning python, in this palace, you can see it most clearly, but you are the one who can hold garlic the most, alas." The Emperor sighed and shook his head.

Diao Mang just lowered his head and bent over and smiled, without justifying or admitting it.

Emperor Zhao Yongyi saw that he didn't speak, and continued: "Go, call me Wang Shiwen, the left minister." ”

Daning has two phases, Wang Shiwen on the left, and Wang Shiwen on the right, and the right minister has been vacant for a long time and has been unincumbent, and His Majesty the Emperor seems to be accustomed to this pattern and is not in a hurry to appoint a new candidate for the right minister.

Half an hour later, Wang Shiwen, the left minister, appeared in front of Zhao Yongyi, pretending to kneel down and salute, but his knees did not fall to the ground.

At this time, the emperor spoke: "Why, who is it to show if you are pretending to do it?" ”

Wang Shiwen immediately licked his smiling face and took over the conversation: "Your Majesty Xie is considerate, then I won't kneel." ”

Zhao Yongyi scoffed, he had never seen anyone thicker than Wang Shiwen in this palace.

I think that back then, when he met Wang Shiwen on the road, he just felt that he was literary and humorous, the key was that he had a family and country in his heart, and he knew how to advance and retreat, so he would take him under his command. But who knew that he, Wang Shiwen, was getting better and better year by year. Zhao Yongyi wanted to cure him for the crime of disrespect not once or twice, the key is that this guy really didn't give him a chance.

Wang Shiwen saw that His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, so he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask for first, I wonder if Your Majesty agrees?" ”

Emperor Zhao Yongyi glanced at him, and said helplessly: "If I can't say it, you won't say it?" ”

Wang Shiwen bowed again and said, "The minister also has to say." ”

Zhao Yongyi: "Then you still ask me what I'm doing in a fake way, just say it directly." ”

Wang Shiwen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if I don't ask for instructions, someone will have someone say that I have committed the following crimes." ”

The emperor glanced at Wang Shiwen and sneered, "Have you done less of this kind of thing?" ”

Wang Shiwen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, at the court meeting in a while, I would like to mention the drought in Wangxi Road. ”

Zhao Yongyi looked up at this right-hand man with a belly of ideas, and said with a smile: "Wang Shiwen, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Shiwen, the left minister, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has not gone out to see for a long time, maybe this drought can give the prince a lesson, I would rather need the prince who is aware of the people's feelings, not ......"

Zhao Yongyi suddenly threw out the flower scroll in his hand, fell to the ground, and was angry, and said: "Wang Shiwen, you are so bold, you dare to say that the prince is mediocre." ”

Wang Shiwen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen just hopes that the prince will go out to observe the people's feelings, maybe in this way, the prince can change the decadent atmosphere of the past and work hard." ”

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said weakly: "That's it, you get up, I know Aiqing's intentions, I will support you at the court meeting, you just mention it, I hope the prince can remember you well, instead of hating you." ”

Wang Shiwen said with a smile: "There are many people who hate ministers, and ministers are used to it. ”

Zhao Yongyi adjusted his emotions and said to Zuo Xiang Wang Shiwen: "Zuo Xiang, what do you think of Prince Fu?" ”

Wang Shiwen was obviously stunned for a moment, he never thought that His Majesty the Emperor would ask him this question, so he could only answer carefully: "Your Majesty, Prince Fu is far away in Gu Mengdao, and the minister really has nothing to do with him, so the minister doesn't know him very well." ”

Emperor Zhao Yongyi was obviously impatient, picked up the flower scroll that had just fallen to the ground, took a bite, and continued: "If you want to say that other people don't understand, forget it, you Wang Shiwen don't understand, I don't believe it." Don't be sloppy with me, I'm asking you seriously, what do you think of Prince Fu? ”

Wang Shiwen saw that His Majesty the Emperor had said this, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, as far as I know, Prince Fu is still an upright person on the surface, and he treats people humbly and in a way, and according to feedback, the Gumengdao area has always been very stable and peaceful. ”

Emperor Zhao Yongyi did not comment on his evaluation, but asked lightly: "Everything has an appearance and an inside, just now you only said on the surface, you are telling me what this is like inside." ”

Wang Shiwen suddenly got up and knelt on the ground, and said very formally: "Your Majesty, in fact, even if you don't ask me about this today, I will ask for a performance after a while." ”

Zhao Yongyi cast an encouraging look at him, signaled him not to stop, and continued.

Wang Shiwen raised his eyes and glanced at Diao Mang, lowered his head again, and without waiting for the emperor's order, Diao Mang retired by himself.

Wang Shiwen and the others said after they left: "According to the information that the minister has learned, Gu Mengdao is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the people's lives are miserable. Moreover, many shops and restaurants in Gu Mengdao have been forcibly occupied, and large industries such as grain, oil, and cloth have the shadow of Yiyantang, and it is difficult for the people to maintain a normal life with the money in their pockets, but the government does not speak, and everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. Although the prince cannot interfere with local law enforcement, they all have the responsibility of supervising and reminding, the people are so miserable, how can Prince Fu escape from it! ”
