Chapter 428: Brother-in-law (1)
Xu Jing slipped out of the door, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and muttered in a low voice, "As soon as the master stares, I want to slip away."
Zhao Xiyan laughed: "You know my father's upright temper, don't mess with him."
"That won't work." Xu Jing grinned, as lazy and naughty as before: "I love to listen to the master's lecture on me."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and glanced at him.
Wang Wei and Li Xiao are in the courtyard next door.
Zhao Xiyan and Xu Jing stepped into the courtyard, Wang Wei and Li Xiao immediately greeted them, saluted together, and called the princess and princess.
Xu Jing smiled and helped Li Xiao up, and his tone was close to warmth: "Don't be so polite. My own brother-in-law, you don't have to be inhibited together. What was before, what is still the present."
How can it be the same!
In the past, Xu Jing was a rich and noble prince, and he was not in charge of the army and not in power. He is a military general, and it is not an exaggeration to call each other brothers.
Now Xu Jing is the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he, a general, has to abide by the way of the monarch and the minister.
Li Xiao was very useful in his heart, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Then I will be respectful and obey my fate. Today, regardless of the monarch and the minister, only the friendship of the brothers-in-law."
Wang Wei on the side blushed with shame.
She is not married to Li Xiao yet. They're just a mouthful.
Zhao Xiyan chuckled lightly, took Wang Wei's hand and whispered, "Leave them alone, let's go in and talk."
Wang Wei's heart was hot and nodded.
They are all young people, they have known each other for many years, and they have endless words to say in one place.
Zhao Xiyan was worried about the clansmen, and Wang Wei told everything she knew: "...... After the news came from the capital that the prince was about to ascend the throne as emperor, the people of the Zhao clan were very happy. In particular, my grandmother has made a great wish to eat fasting and pray for you for a year."
He whispered and laughed, "Actually, this time, my grandmother also wants to come to the capital. Even the salute was ready. Two days before departure, I caught a cold and it was inconvenient to leave. Grandmother has always been thinking about you!"
Zhao Xiyan also missed her hard-mouthed and soft-hearted grandmother, and laughed in a low voice: "Dad wants to stay in the capital, and when he settles down in the future, he will be able to get together when he takes his grandmother to the capital."
"By the way, is the health of the Seventh Great Uncle Ancestor okay?"
"Very good." Wang Wei said with a smile: "The last tooth of the Seventh Great Uncle also fell out, and he can eat a bowl of rice cereal and minced meat. Such a body and bones can live to be 100 years old."
Zhao Xiyan was aroused by homesickness, and couldn't help sighing: "I really want to go back and have a look."
This is clearly unlikely.
Xu Jing's enthronement ceremony is just around the corner, and the next step is the queen's canonization ceremony, after which the husband and wife will live in the palace with their children. There are thousands of things, everything is chaotic, and it is necessary to sort it out slowly. She didn't have time to go back to Beihai County.
Wang Wei smiled and comforted, "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, I'll come back when I'm free."
On the other side, Xu Jing and Li Xiao were talking about Zheng Xuanqing.
"Why didn't Zheng Er come to the capital?" Xu Jing smiled and asked, "I haven't seen her for three years, and I've been thinking about her all the time."
Li Xiao coughed: "I invited him to come with me, but he refused. He said he wanted to stay with his fiancée."
Xu Jing: "......"
Xu Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "Phew, bastard who is heavy on color and light on friends!"
Forget it, for the sake of his infatuation with the fourth sister, don't worry about him for the time being.
After a few words of laughter, Li Xiao said in a low voice, "The Thirteen Prefecture Assassins and the garrison generals have all arrived in the capital. The prince must take advantage of this opportunity to pinch them."
Xu Jing was also unrelenting in front of Li Xiao: "If the prince's cousin is still alive and inherits the throne, they will all bow their heads and respect. In the end, I am the heir to the throne as the prince of the vassal king, but they are not convinced in their hearts, this matter is not urgent, take your time."
No wonder the courtiers were not convinced. Xu Jing's fame is a matter of the past two years. The ministers of the court and Xu Jing are quite familiar, and these assassins and generals who sit in a state are not familiar with him at all. Naturally, it is necessary to omit the weighing of one or two.
The game between the monarch and the minister is also the norm in the court. The Son of Heaven is benevolent and diligent, and the courtiers are brave and loyal. The emperor is mediocre and incompetent, and the few courtiers must be pressed
A suppression of royal power. If they encounter an unscrupulous monarch like Emperor Yongming, the courtiers are full of resentment, wishing that the emperor would die and return to heaven earlier.
So, don't think that if you sit on the dragon chair, you will have the world, and it is too early to control the courtiers and ministers!
Li Xiao said in a low voice: "I have been in the Jiaodong Army barracks, and I can only lead the troops to fight, and I really don't understand these court battles. In short, if you want to lead troops to suppress bandits in the future, I will be the first to go."
Hearing this big truth, Xu Jing smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, there will be a time to use you in the future."
Li Xiao grinned.
On this night, the family banquet of the Zhao Mansion was really lively.
Xu Jing's identity is different from the past, and everyone was quite apprehensive and a little restrained at the beginning. Xu Jing didn't have the slightest bit of a monarch, and talked and laughed with everyone. There is no wine at the family banquet, and there is a taste of tea.
After the family banquet was dispersed, Xu Jing reluctantly took his father-in-law's hand: "Father-in-law, it's better to go to the palace to live."
Zhao Yuanming said softly: "I will live in Zhao Mansion, you and Yueya'er will be busy with business first, and we will honor the prince and princess." Later, when you have time, you will come and see me."
The king and his wife both live in the palace, and his father-in-law can be so ignorant.
Zhao Xiyan understood the truth, although he was reluctant to kiss his father, he endured it.
It was Xu Jing who was reluctant to give up, and repeatedly persuaded his father-in-law to go back to the palace with him.
Everyone looked at it interesting and relieved.
Xu Jing is really affectionate and righteous.
Zhao Yuanming couldn't stand his son-in-law's verbosity, so he sent him away directly: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly!"
It caused everyone to laugh again.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, pulled Xu Jing's sleeve and got into the carriage. The carriage walked out of the distance, and Xu Jing poked his head out and shouted, "Father-in-law, I'm leaving!" Don't miss me too much!"
Zhao Yuanming rubbed the corners of his forehead, but the corners of his mouth quietly raised.
The next day, Li Xiao went on a pilgrimage to see him, and Zhao Yuanming took Queen Wei to visit the Beihai Palace.
Since Xu Jing entered the palace to deal with government affairs, the king of Beihai rarely entered the palace, and some courtiers came to visit him, but he also avoided it.
The posture of the King of Beihai made Queen Su and the ministers feel a lot more relieved.
Everyone supported Xu Jing to succeed to the throne, and if the king of Beihai relied on the fact that he was Xu Jing's father and interfered in the government affairs, it would be very unbeautiful. The imperial power is supreme and no one can touch it.
The King of the North Sea is so knowledgeable and interesting, it is admirable.
When the in-laws met, one praised the daughter-in-law for being smart and virtuous, and the other praised the son-in-law for making great progress, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When Xiaoguo'er and Xiaohua'er were hugged together, Zhao Yuanming couldn't care about being reserved and self-respecting, smiled and hugged a pair of grandchildren, look at this and that, he was reluctant to let go at all.
At this moment, a personal soldier walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of the King of the North Sea.
The North Sea King's smile did not change, and his eyebrows raised.
