Xiao Yunhe walked over with a pacing step and glanced at this boy carefully. found that the man was not only handsome and chic, but also behaved very decently. The boy also greeted him and took the lead in bowing: "A few sons, you are polite to Xue Ping." ”

"Xue Gongzi is polite and polite. Xiao Yunhe returned the salute. said with a smile, "Xue Gongzi and Master Zhang, are they old friends?"

Xue Gongzi saw that Xiao Yunhe did not return his name, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Exactly." Master Zhang once assassinated in Lindang. He was also an official in Hebei, and he was a friend of the Zhang family. ”

"Oh, Xue Gongzi is still a member of the public family. Xiao Yunhe smiled. "Dare to ask Xue Gongzi, where was he an official, and what is the official residence?" Xiao Yunhe was secretly a little surprised in his heart, looking at this Xue Gongzi's age, he was in his early twenties. At this age, when you are really hard to test for fame, how can you already have the experience of being an official?

In the face of Xiao Yunhe's not too polite household registration, Xue Gongzi didn't care at all, and said slowly: "My father used to be an observer in Xiangzhou. When he was only twelve years old, he was appointed by his father as the Assassin of Cizhou. At the age of seventeen, my father died. Under the generals, he was elected as the commander of Xiangzhou. But at that time, he gave up this position to his uncle, and he returned to his hometown with his father's coffin to keep filial piety. ”

"Oh?!" Xiao Yunhe suddenly remembered, slapped his face and said, "You are the famous prodigy Xue Ping from Hebei? Oh! I really didn't think about it for a while! I didn't expect to meet you here today." What a coincidence!"

Xue Ping showed some consternation: "It's not well known...... How does Childe know that he is being named?"

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "I am close friends with Generalissimo Ma Sui. He once told me that there was a prodigy in Hebei. is the great-great-grandson of the famous general Xue Rengui. This person was a twelve-year-old assassin and seventeen-year-old, and he was very competent. It's a miracle in the history of my Daqi. How can I not remember such a character?!"

Xue Ping hurriedly arched his hand modestly: "The son is too ridiculous. In fact...... It is also reluctant to do it, and it is just a last resort. Childe and the generalissimo of the country, Suma, are close friends, presumably ...... Isn't that from an extraordinary background?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled hehehe, thinking about whether to tell this Xue Ping his true identity. At this moment, the door to the main house was opened. The girl helped a middle-aged man out of the room.

Xue Ping glanced over there and said, "It's Lord Zhang." Xiao Yunhe and the others walked over together.

Zhang is about fifty years old and relatively tall. The original board itself is quite strong, but at the moment he is sick, he looks a little weak, and his hair and beard are a little messy. He was wearing a piece of clothing and walked up quickly with the support of his daughter. From afar, he bowed his hand: "How many sons...... The old man is really rude, rude. ”

Xiao Yunhe and the others returned the salute, and then were welcomed into the guest hall by Zhang. The girl brought the tea and served it, and then quietly withdrew.

Zhang has been looking at Xiao Yunhe carefully, and after sitting down, he arched his hand and said: "This son is a little faceless, I don't know if you can give him a big name?"

"I am a protégé of Xuan Qinggong, who is a cheap name, and I am not enough to worry about. Xiao Yunhe returned the salute and said indifferently, "I was also ordered by Mr. to come to visit Master Zhang's condition." Because I have just heard that Xuan Qing Gong said that the imperial court seems to be interested in appointing Lord Zhang as an official in Beijing. ”

"Jingguan?" Zhang frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Childe is really joking." The old man does not have any reliance or shadow in the court, so how can he be an official in Beijing? It is not an easy thing to be an official in the capital. They are all high-ranking officials and nobles, I am a martial artist, where do I dare to offend them?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Now that the prince is in charge of the country, the court weather is not as good as before. Meritocracy, impartiality and selflessness are the most important things. Back then, you didn't hesitate to sell your women in exchange for military funds, but you also wanted to protect the city of Daqi. Even if you are loyal and righteous, you can also be competent. ”

When Zhang and Xue Ping heard Xiao Yunhe speak like this, they all looked at him in surprise, and asked almost in unison, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled, stood up and said, "The surname is Li, and the single name is a desert character." ”

"Ahh

Xiao Yunhe hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang up, and said to Xue Ping: "Okay, get up." Today I am traveling in flat clothes, and I am out to make friends. The man stood up in fear. Xiao Yunhe asked them all to sit down.

"Zhang, didn't you just say that you are an official in Beijing, but you don't have a shadow and a lean?" Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Don't have any scruples, if you really need a to rely on, then from today on, I will be your reliance, and the law of the Great Qi Land is your reliance." ”

"Lord Prince......" Zhang hurriedly wanted to bow down again, but he couldn't help coughing, and Xiao Yunhe hurriedly asked him to sit down. Then he said to him, "It seems that he is not lightly ill. What disease did you suffer from, and you didn't heal it carefully?"

Xue Ping said on the side: "Lord Zhang was tired day and night during the town guard, and he did not rest for seven days and seven nights in a row, so he fell ill. Later, the emperor summoned him to Beijing, and he was a little unaccustomed to the land and soil when he came to the capital all the way. When I first arrived in the national capital, I was in turmoil...... So the illness was delayed. ”

"So that's ......" Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "I'll send an imperial doctor to see you later, and I'll make sure you get healed as much as possible." The official position of Jing Zhaoyin in the national capital is vacant waiting for you to take office!"

"Imperial Doctor, Jing Zhao Yin?!" Zhang Da was shocked and knelt down regardless of a qiē, "Lord Prince, how does this make the Imperial Doctor serve the royal family, and Jing Zhao Yin ...... The position is high, the responsibility is heavy. The humble background is not enough to be qualified for this position. ”

Xiao Yunhe helped him up and said, "You are doing your duty for Daqi at the cost of your own life, and even selling your daughter, aren't such loyal and righteous people qualified to let the imperial doctor treat you for your illness? Also, no one is born to be Jing Zhaoyin. I have confidence in you, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to be a good official of the people in this imperial capital. As long as you do your best, that's fine. I believe that with your loyalty and justice, you will be able to do a good job in the imperial capital where the princes and nobles are all over the place. ”

Zhang was grateful: "Thank you, Lord Prince!"

Xiao Yunhe sat him down, and said to Xue Ping on the side: "Xue Ping, according to you, you have just been summoned to the imperial city after the expiration of your father's filial piety. So where do you live?"

Xue Cuncheng replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "Back to the adult's words." Zai Xia was also summoned by the emperor to the capital to prepare for the official position. Unexpectedly, before he saw the emperor, something happened in the imperial capital, and the emperor also begged to recuperate. Therefore, he is still white now, living in the house of relatives in the national capital, in Jiahuifang. This is why I have to meet Master Zhang again. ”

"White body?" Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised: A prodigy who was a twelve-year-old assassin and a seventeen-year-old prodigy is actually a white body? It seems that the war I caused at the beginning really changed the fate of many people. If I hadn't staged a mutiny at that time, I think Zhang and Xue Ping would have been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor now.

Xiao Yunhe thought for a while, and said to Xue Ping, "So, are you willing to go back to the East Palace with me first?"

Xue Ping hadn't yet expressed his position, and Zhang on the side said excitedly: "Virtuous nephew, don't you want to thank the prince for his kindness?"

Xue Ping was hesitant. He arched his hand and said, "I don't know the prince...... What do you want to do next?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "Are you Guigeng now?"

"Back to the adult's words, there are two in the next twenty. Xue Ping replied.

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "You are only twenty years old, and you have ten years of political experience, and you have also blocked the commander of one party during this period. You are such a talent, how can I let you waste it? You go back to the East Palace with me first, and get used to a small errand in the Flying Dragon Rider. It won't be long. I will entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Thinking that you are a descendant of Xue Renguidi, your martial arts should be extraordinary?"

Zhang Congbian said: "Xue Gongzi has learned literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is both civil and military, which is well known in Hebei. Someone once said that Xue Gongzi has the legacy of his ancestors Xue Rengui and Xue Ne. Don't even lose to these two!"

"That's very good!" Xiao Yunhe was overjoyed in his heart and said to Xue Ping, "Master Xue, have you ever been willing?" Xue Ping shook his robe and bowed down: "Thank you Lord Prince for your heavy promotion, Xue Ping is willing to serve Daqi and Lord Prince!"

Zhang also laughed on the side: "Xue Gongzi has to meet the master today." The old man is also happy for you, and the little girl must be very happy. ”

Xiao Yunhe is such a delicate person, he understands when he hears this: this Zhang's daughter. I must have fallen in love with Xue Ping at first sight? Why don't I be a matchmaker and promote this good thing? This is also a good way to get closer to them.

So Xiao Yunhe said: "Zhang, I can conclude that your daughter has a special affection for Xue Ping. A few of us just visited, and she didn't wake you up. But as soon as Xue Ping came, she woke you up. You're a father, have you ever thought about your daughter's thoughts?"

Zhang smiled: "Lord Prince." Really attentive ......"

Xue Ping's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he stood there helpless.

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said: "Xue Ping, it seems that you are not a pompous prodigal, do you have thoughts about Miss Zhang's family?"

"This, this ......" was originally graceful and elegantly Xue Ping. I stuttered, and I was very embarrassed.

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "My Fair Lady." Gentleman. It is not a shame for a man to marry a woman. It seems that you also have a good impression of Miss Zhang. Back then, she was willing to be sold by her father in exchange for military funds, and she was also a woman with a deep sense of righteousness, worthy of you, a merry son with Xue Rengui's style. Well, if you are interested, I will be a matchmaker for you and fulfill this good thing?"

"Ah?......" Xue Ping was startled, his hands and feet were at a loss, and sweat flowed from his forehead. Xiao Yunhe looked at him like this, he was really a down-to-earth and honest person.

Zhang said softly: "Xue Ping, Xue Ping, between you and my daughter, you already know that you don't need to break it." Now it's also a god-given prince as a matchmaker, don't you want to thank the prince for his kindness and come to worship me, the old man?"

Xue Ping laughed awkwardly. When it comes to this, he is no longer hypocritical. simply knelt down neatly and thanked the matchmaker and father-in-law.

Everyone in the room laughed, revealing boundless joy.

When leaving, Xiao Yunhe repeatedly told Xue Ping that he must treat Zhang's father and daughter well, take care of Zhang's illness, and then report to the East Palace. At that time, it will inevitably be the moment when Zhang takes office as Jing Zhaoyin. Xiao Yunhe also planned to let them have a three-happy ceremony on this day, so that Zhang would be appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, Xue Ping would be appointed as the general of the Flying Dragon Cavalry, and Xue Ping would marry Miss Zhang.

Leaving Zhang's house, Xiao Yunhe felt extremely relaxed. Over the years, he has almost developed a sharp eye, and he rarely makes mistakes in seeing people and things. He could see that Zhang was a down-to-earth person who would definitely be able to take on the important post of Jing Zhaoyin; Xue Ping was a young and old genius and introverted, and he was also a rare talent. got such two talents in one go, and made up a wonderful marriage, which made him feel good for a while. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it was indeed not an easy thing to be Jing Zhaoyin. This official is not big or small, but he is in charge of the people's livelihood and government affairs in the imperial capital, and he has to offend many wealthy gentry. If you are afraid to look forward to the future, it will definitely not be good. Xiao Yunhe also intended to handle the affairs of their children and daughters on the day when Zhang took office as Jing Zhaoyin, and then personally officiate the marriage. In this way, he came to show his support and importance to the gentry in the national capital. In this way, he will feel that he has a tough nobleman. I won't be afraid of anything when I get things done.

The imperial capital is stable, and everything is easy to do. Xiao Yunhe felt that it was still worth it to go to such great lengths to find a Jing Zhaoyin. It is rare that Xue Ping was also found as a prodigy genius. Zhang is a kind person, he said that Xue Ping has the legacy of Xue Rengui, and presumably Xue Ping is not far behind. And based on Xiao Yunhe's own observations, Xue Ping is sincere and hearty. Down-to-earth and modest, with a maturity and restraint that does not match his age. Such characters are often those who have real talents.

With a good mood, Xiao Yunhe returned to the East Palace, but heard that someone was visiting. said that Li Mian came with an old man and was waiting for the prince in the Mingde Palace.

When Xiao Yunhe came to the Mingde Palace, he saw two white-haired old men sitting in the hall from a distance, waiting quietly. After seeing the prince coming, Li Mian got up and saluted slightly. Another old man walked up quickly, knelt down with a loud answer, and shouted, "Old minister Zhang Wanfu." Meet the Crown Prince, Chitose!"

Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: At such an old age, this knee is slammed down, so he is not afraid of breaking his leg? So he hurriedly told him to stand up. Looking at this person carefully, he looked older than Li Mian, with very thick white hair on his head, and his beard was all white, growing to his abdomen. But his body looked extremely strong, and his flushed face was very full. The whole person looked energetic. Moreover, this old man's voice was extremely loud, and he had just bowed down and shouted a few times, which was like striking a gong.

Li Mian smiled behind him: "Don't blame the prince. Zhang Wanfu was born in a horse, and his voice has always been so loud. ”

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "General Zhang is really old and strong. Admirable - please be seated. ”

"Lord Xie!" Zhang Wanfu was also polite, and sat down with a golden knife. Very standard general sitting position.

Xiao Yunhe glanced at Zhang Wanfudi's appearance, and wanted to laugh a little, this old man is indeed a little interesting.

Without waiting for Xiao Yunhe to ask, Li Mian said: "General Zhang came here today to recommend himself. ”

"Oh, how do you say that?" Xiao Yunhe was a little surprised, he was so old and didn't care for the elderly at home, didn't he still want to go into battle to kill the enemy?

Zhang Wanfu stood up, solemnly clasped his fists and bowed, and said in a voice like a bell: "Lord Prince! Although the old minister is over seventy years old, his body is still very strong. You can open a bow of two stones, and you can travel a thousand miles. A few years ago, Lao Chen was alienated because he angered the saint and returned home. Now that I heard that the crown prince was reorganizing the imperial court and employing people, the old minister salivated with this old face and recommended himself to the position of imperial historian!"

"Doctor Yushi?!" Hearing Zhang Wanfu say this, Xiao Yunhe was really a little stunned. The Imperial Historian is the head of one of the most important functional departments of the imperial court. For the sake of this candidate for the imperial doctor, the imperial court has tried its best to find it everywhere. This old man actually wants to recommend himself for this position?

Xiao Yunhe was not in a hurry to express his position, and nodded slowly: "The old general Lao Jifu is inspirational for thousands of miles, which is extremely admirable. However, the appointment of the Imperial Doctor is a major matter for the imperial court, and I cannot make a decision right away. Tomorrow in the court, I will take this matter out for public discussion, and then I will inform you of the results. ”

Zhang Wanfu was also a neat and neat person, and he clenched his fists heavily and said: "Thank you, Lord Prince! The old minister hopes that in his lifetime, he can do something useful for the imperial court." Even if you can't be a doctor of imperial history, it's okay to be a petty official, as long as you don't let the old minister be idle at home, it's fine. In this way, the old minister thanked him in every possible way! The prince was busy with affairs, and the old minister did not dare to disturb him more, so he took his leave. Xuan Qinggong, I am bidding farewell!"

Xiao Yunhe and Li Mian nodded in agreement, and after Zhang Wanfu saluted, he strode out. Looking at that pace, it is even more vigorous than that of young people.

After Zhang Wanfu left, Xiao Yunhe said to Li Mian in surprise: "Xuan Qinggong, this Zhang Wanfu is really a strange person!

Li Mian smiled and said: "This Zhang Wanfu was a well-known iron man in the army before. Since then, he joined the army at the age of 17 and has fought in the world for 50 years, never being injured or sick. In recent years, he has repeatedly made great contributions, and he has also been valued by the emperor, and he is equipped with a figure in Lingyan Pavilion. It was only a few years ago that he angered the emperor because of an incident, and since then he has been estranged, and even the image has been taken down. Now I have to go back to home and retire for the elderly. But this person is sincere and loyal to the country, but he is a rare loyal minister. Moreover, he once served as the Imperial Historian and the Imperial Historian, and he was very familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Today he came to my house and recommended to me that he wanted to go back to the court to work as an official. I took him to the East Palace and asked the prince to cut him off. ”

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "It sounds like this Zhang Wanfu is an interesting person. It's just that I'm a little worried...... He has been in the army for many years, will he be a little rough and can't handle the affairs of the Yushi Plateau?"

"Don't worry about that. Li Mian said, "I know Zhang Wanfu's personality very well. He was a man who looked rude, but was actually very careful. Moreover, although this person has been in the army all his life, his talent in the womb is also extraordinary. More importantly, his uprightness and loyalty are hard to find in the world. ”

"So, is he really the right person?" Xiao Yunhe was secretly pleasantly surprised in his heart: What a good day today is, encountering such good things one after another!

Li Mian said: "It's not suitable or not, it doesn't matter if you say it." Let's take it to the court tomorrow for public discussion. In addition, Zhang Wanfu just told me that if he wants to serve as the imperial doctor, he must put a suitable person in Dali Temple and cooperate with him. Moreover, he also has the right person in mind. ”

"Who is this person?"

Li Mian replied: "The surname is Xu, the name is Meng Rong, and the word is Gongfan." This person was born in the Jinshi Jiake Division, and once served as a staff member of the local festival envoy, specializing in the management of criminal law. A few years ago, His Majesty the Emperor summoned him to the court, served as a member of the Imperial History and Rites Department, and also served as a Shaoqing in Dali Temple. This man was known for his fairness, wisdom, and familiarity with the criminal laws of the Great Qi. It's just that in the past two years, because of the eunuch's power, this person has not been reused, and has only served as a minor official. There were rumors among the people that this person had the demeanor of Di Renjie, the famous detective of the Wu and Zhou dynasties, who was fair and selfless, and was good at detectives. If he is in charge of the Daqi criminal law litigation with someone like Zhang Wanfu, it must be really suitable. ”

"Good. Xiao Yunhe nodded with satisfaction, "Tomorrow in the court, the selection of the Imperial Doctor and the Dali Temple will be discussed." Xuan Qinggong, thank you so much!"

Within one day, talents like Zhang and Xue Ping were discovered one after another, and I met Zhang Wanfu again and heard about Xu Mengrong. It seems that these four people are all useful characters. Xiao Yunhe's mood was very good.

It was almost evening, and Wu Yuanheng also returned to the East Palace from Shangshu Province. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly pulled him to dinner with him and talked about these happy things today.

After Wu Yuanheng heard the news, although he still smiled faintly as usual, Xiao Yunhe could see that he was also very happy. When Xiao Yunhe said, Wu Yuanheng also said: "My lord has a good thing today, and Weichen also has a few good news here." ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Xiao Yunhe suddenly became interested.

Wu Yuanheng said unhurriedly: "Wechen sorted out the official files in the Ministry of Officials, and checked the test papers of this year's Jinshi and Jinshi and some people. I found out that one of the Jinshi threw in the official roll and sent it directly to the official department. It can be seen that this person came from a humble background, and he has no shade in the country. But when I read his articles, he is brilliant and insightful, and he satirizes the disadvantages of the times. For example, he satirized the palace market and Wufang children, opposed taxes such as intershelf and mo, and claimed the suffering of the people. It's just that the rhetoric is very obscure, and the rhetoric is gorgeous and fluttering, quite ancient. ”

"Oh, then can you bring the official scroll?" Xiao Yunhe asked anxiously.

Wu Yuanheng smiled and said, "Weichen knew that the adults would definitely be interested in such a person, so he brought the official scroll. With that, he took out a test paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yunhe to read.

Xiao Yunhe read it carefully, and sure enough, as Wu Yuanheng said, the words were gorgeous, but there was something to say. It can be seen that this person is not only full of talent and learning, but also has the heart of helping the world and assisting the country in his chest.

"Han Yu, the word retreats?" Xiao Yunhe frowned slightly, "This person's name is so familiar!"

Wu Yuanheng smiled: "If Xue Cuncheng is here." Adults will not be able to get more information from him. Brother Ziming has always cared about the affairs of Shilin Confucian students, such a talented and extraordinary student, he should have mentioned it in front of adults. ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Xiao Yunhe slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "It was about two months ago. At that time, I happened to be injured, and I was bedridden every day to recuperate, so I pulled him to tell me something that happened in the Confucian forest. At that time, he once mentioned to me a young man named Han Yu, who is twenty years old this year, but he is talented and shocking Rulin. Respected by the people. Come to think of it, it's just to throw this public scroll into the Jinshi?"

"Yes, it's him!" the smile on Wu Yuanheng's face became even stronger.

Xiao Yunhe raised his hand: "I didn't say it, call this person to the East Palace, I want to see him in person." ”

Wu Yuanheng's brows furrowed: "It's a pity...... According to the situation I have just asked the old staff of the Ministry of Officials. This person was eliminated in this year's spring season. Because the content of the article is too sensitive, he did not recommend it to dignitaries. So this time he was not shortlisted. Later, I asked his contemporaneous Jinshi about the situation, and it is said that this person left the national capital two days ago, as if he was going to Xuzhou, and was invited by Zhang Jianfeng, the assassin of Xuzhou, to be his guest. ”

Xiao Yunhe was stunned and said: "Such a great talent, serving as a staff member of Binzuo who is just a stabbing history? This is really a big joke! Those people in the court before, all of them did not dare to make trouble, they dared Han Yu's article to be seen by the emperor, and then they were punished together. Look at the Chinese network all the way because of this. I don't know how many people have fallen, there are capable people with real talents and aspirations to serve the country. Pass my order and let Song Liangchen send a few safe flying dragon riders out of the city to chase me. I have only been walking for two days, and I believe that I will only arrive in Luoyang at this time. Bianzhou is in the midst of war. Han Yu definitely didn't dare to go from that side, and he must take the waterway to bypass Shangzhou. Tell them. If they don't come back to Han Yu, they themselves won't come back to see me. ”

"Yes. Wu Yuanheng replied with his hand, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, sit down. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile, "There are so many eunuchs and palace maids here, just send a message to let them go." You're a third-grade scholar now, why are you still doing all these errands?"

Wu Yuanheng also laughed: "No matter how big or small the official position is, it is for Daqi and for the prince." ”

Xiao Yunhe sighed leisurely and said, "Bo Cang...... All in all, you and I have known each other for five or six years. Do you remember the first time we met, when you sat in the Huayuan County Office?"

Wu Yuanheng also laughed, and said nostalgically: "At that time, Weichen was a newborn calf with Chu Yan's strong blood, and he was not afraid of anything, he only knew how to do it. If it weren't for the appearance of the prince, Weichen's life would have been buried in Yongzhou. ”

"What are you doing with this kind of thing?" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "In a blink of an eye, five or six years have passed. What we said in Yongzhou Station at that time has been confirmed one by one today. Isn't that...... Is it providence?"

Wu Yuanheng said leisurely: "People don't deceive the sky, and the sky doesn't live up to people." The fact that the crown prince has come so far is also the result of his established fate and unremitting efforts. The world of Daqi is destined to leave a strong mark on your hands. Wechen ...... in the heart In fact, I was very excited. Push through the clouds and see the blue sky, and finally wait for this day, both adults and micro-ministers can show their skills and do their best to run a new place. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe also sighed, "In fact, from the very beginning, we were determined to support Daqi and restore it to its former prosperity. However, it has always been a constraint everywhere, and we can't help it. If we want to achieve our ideals, we must stand at the highest peak. In order to achieve this goal, I have worked hard to kill 10,000 people in the past few years. In the eyes of others, I may be a cold-blooded thug or a treacherous villain. I don't care, though. There's only one thing I care about, and that's ...... Daqi must regain its strength and regain the past weather. ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, and those who are in charge are not afraid to slander their reputation. Wu Yuanheng said, "The crown prince is a great hero who stands up to the sky. No matter what the world thinks of you now, time will prove in the future. ”

"Well said. Bo Cang deserves to be my confidant. I think, you are the only one in the world who knows my heart best!" Xiao Yunhe smiled and drank a drink with Wu Yuanheng, and then said, "Xue Cuncheng hasn't come back today, is it his turn to be on duty in the Hongwen Pavilion?"

"Exactly. At present, there are only two prime ministers in the court, Xuan Qinggong and Lu Zhen. There is not enough manpower in Hongwenkan. So, some officials from the Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province. He was also rotated to watch the night. Wu Yuanheng said, "Recently, there have been many changes and measures in the six ministries of the three provinces, and the affairs in the Hongwen Hall are extremely busy. So after Brother Ziming went down to the court, he plunged into the Hongwen Pavilion and never came out until now. ”

"Well, that's a hard time for you. Xiao Yunhe sighed and said, "The new establishment of the imperial court is waiting to be revitalized. It's the hardest time. Pay attention to your body yourselves. Also, you and Xue Cuncheng are now both members of the three grades, and they should have their own mansions. I always live in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace. Nor is it like words. As soon as people talk about it, they still complain that my court of Daqi can't even afford to pay for the house of the doctor and the monk, isn't it a joke? Tomorrow, when you and Xue Cuncheng go to the capital city with me. Where do you like the house? I'll do it for you. ”

Wu Yuanheng hurriedly said: "This ...... Wechen figured it out by himself. Over the years, the crown prince has rewarded us very much. This kind of thing, there is no need to bother the prince to make the court break the bank. ”

Xiao Yunhe laughed: "Don't worry, I'm a poor prince." I don't have the money to buy you a house right now. After the Suzaku Gate incident before, weren't there many high-ranking officials and gentry who were completely cleared out of the national capital? Their mansions were very magnificent. What a waste of space there is, I will put you in it. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Yuanheng fell down at once, and said solemnly: "The prince's heart, Weichen really understands it." It's just that Weichen would never dare to live in such a mansion. Living too comfortably and luxuriously will make Wechen slack off and not want to forge ahead. Moreover, the adults rewarded Weichen and others with the houses they had collected. It will also leave a bad reputation. Wei Chen persuaded the lord to confiscate these mansions into the treasury and use them to reward meritorious people in the future, or sell them to replenish the treasury after the money, which is the best policy. ”

Xiao Yunhe shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Okay." Get up, I'm up to you. I just hope that your sister comes back. Don't scold you stupid big brother. ”

Wu Yuanheng was slightly stunned and said, "Count it...... I've been separated from my sister for a few days. It has been a long time since the crown prince and Ma Sui entered Beijing together. Shizi and the crown princess are still in Xichuan. Concubine Wu is estimated to have also produced it now. Isn't it time for the Crown Prince to make arrangements for them?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yunhe's heart also ached slightly, and he sighed and said, "Do you think I don't want to accompany my family? Besides, Moyi gave birth to a son for me, and it has not been a hundred days yet. At this time, the long journey, their mother and son will definitely not be able to stand it. And if I only bring the mother and son in Moyi, only Wu Yuelin will be left in Xichuan...... It seems too partial, which is also unfair to her. Therefore, I simply waited for a while, so that Wu Yuelin would be 100 days after giving birth, and then I would pick them up together. ”

"The adults have really thought about it, and it is the ministers who are too worried. Wu Yuanheng said, "But...... Now the adult still has not set up a crown princess, and the prince has not chosen a name, which is a bit inappropriate. As long as the rebellion in Huaixi and Hebei is temporarily calmed, adults can ascend the throne at any time. The matter of establishing the crown princess and the prince, adults should also think about it. ”

Xiao Yunhe's brows furrowed, and he nodded slowly: "Actually...... I've been thinking about this for a few days. The current crown princess is undoubtedly the future queen. The current son of the earth is also likely to be the future prince of the country. This matter is extremely serious, and it is related to the fate of our Li family and Daqi in the future, so I must be cautious and not rush to make a decision. At least, we have to wait until they are all brought to the national capital, and then we will think about it carefully. ”

Wu Yuanheng nodded: "This is an adult's family matter, so Weichen won't say much." Since the adults have already made arrangements, it is best to do so. ”

Xiao Yunhe turned his head and looked at Wu Yuanheng with burning eyes: "You have something to tell me, right?"

Wu Yuanheng smiled: "Weichen has said it, this ...... It's just an adult business. ”

"It's both a family affair and a state affair. Xiao Yunhe said, "Besides, you and I are like brothers, and my family affairs are not your business? ”

Wu Yuanheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Weichen is also his own opinion, and if it is shallow, please don't blame it." ”

"Say it, it's okay to be outspoken. ”

Wu Yuanheng said: "Adults love Dugu Moyi deeply, this is almost a well-known thing in the world. Princess Dugu is naturally beautiful, smart and not allowed to shave her eyebrows, and she is also the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom, with a noble and generous birth. And she is reasonable and obedient to adults, which is enough to be the mother of the East Palace and the mother of the world in the future. ”

Xiao Yunhe nodded: "Well, go on." ”

Wu Yuanheng said: "But...... If he is made to be the crown prince or the queen, there are also two drawbacks. One is her barbarian blood and origin. Although adults and we don't care, but the people of the world just like to use this kind of thing as a talking point, which may bring some unnecessary trouble to adults who will be in charge of the world in the future. Second, Princess Dugu grew up in the East Women's Country, where women are respected, although she has greatly improved her appearance by following adults, but she is still very eye-catching and too popular. In the eyes of some people in the Central Plains, it is taboo that the yin qi is too strong. Especially back then...... After the Wu clan came out with a Heavenly Sage Queen, such a fear became more and more obvious. Therefore, her strength will also become an obstacle to her mother's world. ”

Xiao Yunhe frowned deeply and nodded in praise: "Well said." In fact, I have been thinking about this question in my heart. This matter is not just my own matter, it is a matter of the world, and it is necessary to consider it thoroughly. I don't deny that I have a preference for ink clothes...... However, this matter is not my personal matter, and I will consider it carefully from the overall situation before making a decision. So, according to you, you have to make Wu Yuelin the concubine?"

Wu Yuanheng said unhurriedly: "It has always been the mother who is more precious than the son. If Concubine Wu gave birth to a boy, it would be more logical. First, she is Guo Ziyi's granddaughter, and her background is relatively noble; second, the Guo family and the Wu family have now become the most prominent wealthy giants in the national capital. If she is the queen, it will be of great help to adults. Moreover, Concubine Wu is gentle and low-key by nature, reasonable, courteous and virtuous, and also has the demeanor of a mother. Weichen thought that if Concubine Wu gave birth to Lin'er, it would be more appropriate to make her right. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "I don't know if Wu Yuelin gave birth to a man or a girl, so it depends on whether her stomach is angry." Having said that, the establishment of the queen and the prince of the royal family has always been an extremely sensitive and troublesome matter. In order to compete for the position of the prince between the heirs, they also competed openly and secretly for the cold gun and the secret sword, and they all lost the love of brothers. I don't want this to happen to me again, I have to think of a thoughtful way to make my backyard stable. Bo Cang, my royal brothers are all estranged from me, and only you, the brother, are by my side to give advice. Don't you have any scruples, in private, you just treat it as if it were your own family affair, and give me more thought, right?"
