Xiao Yuming does not seem to want to interact with officials in the DPRK and China, but to see who the other party is. As he himself said before, most of the current ministers in the court are old ministers of the previous dynasty, although they are loyal to Xiao Changyi, but they will form a certain degree of containment on him.

Therefore, Xiao Yuming's purpose of not interacting with them on weekdays is very clear, firstly, he wants to create the impression that he has little ambition for the throne, and secondly, he also wants to cultivate his own power, and gradually replace these old ministers after taking over the throne in the future.

Only when facing Shao Xi will he go against the norm and do his best to win over. This is not necessarily a good thing for Shao Xi, at present, he is still Xiao Changyi's courtier, and if he takes refuge in the prince's side, he will be detained as a suspect of forming a party with the prince.

If something goes wrong with Xiao Yuming, he will inevitably be suspected of slander. This is the case in all dynasties, if you succeed, you are a hero, and if you fail, you are a slanderer.

Imagine that Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Mutiny was a success, and all of his capable ministers and famous generals entered the Lingyan Pavilion, if it failed at that time, the history books may not be able to write Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, and Cheng Yanjin as grandmothers?

So when Xiao Yuming is fine, Shao Xi is naturally fine, if something happens to Xiao Yuming, he will become a sinner's dog, the prince may not die, but he will definitely not survive.

This kind of thing Shao Xi's heart is naturally clear, but now that the situation is in front of him, he can refuse other people's solicitations, but the crown prince is the prince and the emperor of the future Jingyuan Dynasty, and to some extent it is a sin to refuse to solicit.

In the future, people will sit on the throne, if you are careful, you will not want to have a stop in this Jingyuan Dynasty.

What's more, he has a relationship with the crown prince, Xiao Changyi doesn't seem to have any opinions, but seems to have a intention to promote it, in this case, he really can't offend these two generations of emperors in one go.

No one can say what will happen in the future, so it is better to put aside the hypocrisy for the time being, and then respond to the situation when the time comes.

"In the future, if His Royal Highness has any instructions, just send someone to inform Wechen, Wechen will do his best to solve problems for His Highness, and the Holy Admiral introduced Wechen to His Highness, presumably hoping that Wechen will be able to assist His Highness in the future.

"After all, His Royal Highness, as the prince, is the future monarch of the Jingyuan Dynasty, and also the hope of the people in the world in the future. It could be seen that Xiao Yuming was very satisfied with Shao Xi's determination, and reached out to take out a silver brand from his arms and handed it to Shao Xi.

"Didn't I already tell you, in the future, you don't have to call me the prince in informal occasions, and you don't need to call yourself a micro-minister, when no one is around, you and I will be called friends, I am not a prince, and you are not a 'Jing Chengsi' inspector.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, as long as I can help you, just speak, I know that you are a person with justice in his heart and jealousy and hatred, and he will not do anything that violates the rules and does anything to commit adultery, so if there is any difficulty, take this sign and come directly to the East Palace to find me.

"With this waist card, no one in this East Palace dares to stop you, and I hope that you will come and walk around more in the future, you and I will talk more about this method of governing the country, you are Mr. Bai's inner protégé, and you can be a teacher in front of me." Hearing this, Shao Xi hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness has a good reputation!" Although I am a protégé of Mr. Bai, I am only a nominal disciple, and I have not learned a thing or two from Mr. Bai, and the so-called theory of governing the country is just nonsense.

"If Your Highness wants to study the theory of governing the world of your teacher, you can forward the teacher's draft notes and articles on your behalf, but as for being a teacher, you really dare not bear it, and Your Highness is really elevated." Xiao Yuming stuffed the silver medal into Shao Xi's hand, laughing, at this time he was very satisfied with Shao Xi in his heart, Shao Xi's high-profile and low-key style of doing things coincided with him.

"You don't have to be too modest, I have heard that the reason why the "Theory of Governing the World" co-authored by Mr. Bai and Mr. Liu can be widely circulated now is because you have innovated the art of papermaking and movable type printing.

"I heard that you have also opened several small bookstores in Kyoto, creating more opportunities for people from all over the world to read, and establishing Yuyantang so that more children from poor families can read, what you are doing now is something I can't do in the East Palace.

"Although I am much older than you, you are far superior to me in many places, and at the moment I have only one request for you, and that is that if there is any new book published in your bookstore, you must remember to send me one first, so that I can have a sneak peek." Shao Xi muttered in his heart that he had only been in this business for half a year, why did he make the city full of wind and rain now, and everyone knew about it?

The prince doesn't want to come and get a piece of the pie, right? The emperor's old boy has already taken away 20% of the net profits, if the prince intervenes again, won't he be completely reduced to a part-time worker?

Hurriedly bowed down and replied: "What I do is what should be done, as a courtier of Jingyuan, I naturally want the people of Jingyuan to be able to afford to read, and only by opening up the wisdom of the people can the country be rich and the people strong, this is really not the credit of the subordinates, it is all the grace of the saint."

"If it weren't for the full support of the Holy One, I wouldn't be able to do these things in the next place, as for His Highness wanting to study, the bookstore is opened by ourselves, and if His Highness wants to read any books to say hello, I will personally send them to the East Palace for His Highness." The point of Shao Xi's words is to remind Xiao Yuming that my few businesses are all in cooperation with your Lao Tzu, so don't follow it, otherwise you will make your Lao Tzu unhappy and you will have no good fruit to eat.

Xiao Yuming originally didn't mean anything else, but Shao Xi, a wealth fan, thought too much about himself. However, when Shao Xi said this, Xiao Yuming felt that Shao Xi was a person who was not arrogant or impatient, and did things in a down-to-earth manner, so he felt a little more appreciative in his heart, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

While the two were talking, King Cheng Xiao Yuzhan, who had already left the study and was wandering in the garden, hurriedly ran back.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Xiao Yuming: "Brother Huang, just now I met my father-in-law who came over to deliver the decree from my father's side, saying that my father summoned you to the imperial study to talk about something, it seems that you are quite anxious, Brother Huang, you should hurry up and go!" Don't keep your father waiting. Xiao Yuming turned his head to look at Shao Xi when he heard this, Shao Xi also smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuming, and they knew each other tacitly, at this time, both of them understood in their hearts that Xiao Changyi must have asked Xiao Yuming to talk about the fact that someone in the court was raising a private army and plotting to seize power and usurp the throne.

Although Shao Xi did not reveal half of the news to Xiao Yuming before, the two of them also knew that Xiao Changyi was going to hand over Xiao Yuzhi to Xiao Yuming to deal with.

As for what Xiao Yuming does, it is naturally none of Shao Xi's business, Shao Xi believes that with the conflict of interests and power struggle between the two of them over the years, Xiao Yuming will naturally not let go of Xiao Yuzhi easily.

There may only be such an opportunity once in his life, if Xiao Yuming does not seize this opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yuzhi, I am afraid that there will be no good opportunity from now on.

Shao Xi bowed to Xiao Yuming, bowed and retreated, and Xiao Yuming hurriedly rushed to Xiao Changyi's imperial study with the eunuchs who came to deliver the decree.

Xiao Changyi didn't say that he wanted to summon Xiao Yuzhan, the third prince, and Xiao Yuzhan naturally couldn't follow, so he accompanied Shao Xi to Yintaimen, which could be regarded as sending Shao Xi out of the palace.

"Lord Shao, it seems that you and the imperial brother have a very happy conversation, it seems to be very speculative, so why don't you come over often to talk to us about this big thing in the world in the future?

"My brother and I have very little contact with the civil and military officials in the court, and the emperor brother doesn't even go out of the palace gate, so I am the only one who often sneaks out to go shopping.

"If you can come and chat with us often, the imperial brother doesn't have to stuff himself in the study all day, I can also learn more about this method of governing the country with Master Shao, and maybe I can help the imperial brother in the future." Shao Xi has a good impression of this fifteen-year-old Cheng Wang Xiao Yuzhan, although he was born in the emperor's family, he does not have the slightest arrogance and arrogance of a royal child, but is so approachable and simple and enthusiastic.

Since the first meeting, this kid seems to regard himself as an elder brother, and he always wants to learn things from himself, Shao Xi also feels a little crying and laughing, and even he doesn't know what to teach His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

But since he is so close to him, he naturally has no reason to reject people thousands of miles away. It feels a lot easier to come into contact with this third prince, and you don't have to be as cautious as when facing Xiao Changyi or Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuzhi, and you are on guard everywhere, lest you make a big fuss about what you say wrong.

Shao Xi naturally felt a little close to this little prince in his heart. So he replied with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness King Cheng does not dislike Weichen, then in the future, Weichen will often come to visit His Highness and chat with His Highness." However, Weichen doesn't really know what to govern the country and the world, and he really can't teach His Highness anything. Xiao Yuzhan looked happy when he heard this, as if Shao Xi had promised to come to the palace often to chat with him, which was an extremely happy thing for him.

So he grabbed Shao Xi and said, "You have to be true to your word!" If I have the opportunity, I will also go out of the palace to play with you, and in the future, you don't call me a king, and don't call yourself a micro-minister, I will call you Brother Shao in private, what do you think? Shao Xi panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and said to Xiao Yuzhan: "Your Highness is love, in the future, I will not call Your Highness a king, nor will I call myself a micro-minister, but Your Highness must not call me a brother, if this is known by the saint, wouldn't it be to blame me for not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I said that I called you Brother Shao in private, and I didn't let my father and emperor know about it! Right! Brother Shao! ”

...... "Damn, you want to kill me!"
