The north wind is very strong, and the pedestrians who enter Qingcheng can't help but tighten their clothes, according to the habits of previous years, it is time to prepare New Year's supplies and fireworks.

On New Year's Day, His Majesty Namgyeong will feast on his ministers, and fireworks will illuminate every place in Gyeongseong.

Outside Qingcheng, the farewell pavilion, dozens of soldiers waited outside the pavilion, and in the pavilion, a eunuch added a piece of charcoal to the brazier.

The suburbs came from the dust, Chen Xi came not far from the pavilion, looked at the pavilion, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

A soldier stopped Chen Xi.

"Your Highness, please. ”

Chen Xi looked at the armor soldier who couldn't get out of the way at all, and nodded.

As the armor entered the pavilion, the long-lost charcoal fire warmed Chen Xi's body at once, although as a monk, his tolerance to high temperature and cold was far beyond ordinary people, but Chen Xi's body was indeed frozen through after a few days of hurrying.

Chen Xi put his hand on the charcoal fire and roasted it.

Zhao He looked at the young man in front of him with chapped lips and bloodshot eyes and smiled, presumably in order to come to Qingcheng in the past few days, he thought of his senior brother and sister, and he had suffered a lot.

When Zhao He saw Chen Xi, he would often think, if he was in a foreign country, in Dayu, or even Beixiao, how would he be better than Chen Xi, could he be like Chen Xi, would he have a senior brother who could be worried, would he have accepted his own sect, would he have guided his predecessors, and would he have ...... To dissuade himself from a foreign prince?

Approximately...... It's going to be miserable.

In an instant, Chen Xi came to Nanqing, it has been four years, that year, thirteen-year-old Zhao He saw twelve-year-old Chen Xi for the first time, and now, seventeen-year-old Zhao He looked at sixteen-year-old Chen Xi, don't have a feeling, after this year, Zhao He will be eighteen, this age, it is the age of countless young generals in Nanqing.

Zhao He smiled and motioned to the eunuch next to him to hand over a cup of hot tea to Chen Xi, Chen Xi blew the hot air, and drank it all, and the eunuch poured Chen Xi full of tea, and Chen Xi held the cup of tea in his hand.

"I should thank you for the matter of Qicheng, and Uncle Wan also said that he would like to thank you and Han ...... Mr. Han!"

They must have thought that Du Shen's hand was a little for Chen Xi's sake.

"Do you understand what I'm here for?"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "Your Highness wants me not to enter Qingcheng? The last time I entered Qingcheng without permission, it already made Your Majesty unhappy, and this time for my senior brother to enter Qingcheng, Your Majesty is afraid that he will be angry." ”

"Actually, my father was not unhappy last time. Zhao He shook his head and said, "It's just that this time, Su Ji is indeed guilty of insulting his father." Don't you enter Qingcheng, the matter that originally let you return to Dayu early has already been included in the itinerary, and Nanqing has already sent a messenger to Dayu. Don't make trouble at such a time. ”

"Then I followed Wangyunmen before, went to Gushan, and besieged the Wei family, so I didn't provoke Your Majesty again, and Your Majesty didn't punish me. ”

Zhao He was a little gloomy with his eyebrows, and only after a while did he slowly say: "Chen Xi, I won't hide it from you, in fact, these days, my father's body is a little ...... Not so good. ”

The eunuch next to him didn't look like he heard it.

Zhao He smiled bitterly: "Actually, I'm in Qingcheng, and there aren't many people who can find someone to talk to, but after Zhao Yuyu left, there was one less." ”

The little son of the aristocracy, on the contrary, envied the freedom of the commoner children? Chen Xi smiled.

Chen Xi let out a breath and asked, "How are my senior brother and sister?"

"Today, because of the matter of my father's body, Su Ji's matter has been put on hold, but the Taishi is pressing step by step, and he has to put Su Ji to death. ”

"This old pervert. Chen Xi scolded in a low voice.

Zhao He was slightly embarrassed, after all, Taishi was an important minister, and the astrological technique was extremely accurate.

"Where's the gentleman?"

"Mr. Du Qi met with the prime minister, these days, the prime minister's attitude is surprisingly tough, I can't help but try to protect Su Ji, and unite several ministers to participate in the Taishi...... To tell the truth, Taishi is really not very disciplined in some places. ”

"This old pervert, I will strangle him if he falls into my hands. ”

"Ahem, cough!" Zhao He coughed a few times.

Chen Xi hurriedly smiled: "Talking about playing, talking about playing." ”

The eunuch making tea next to him was sweating profusely, and his expression didn't look like a joke at all.

"So Su Ji is safe for the time being, but he is in prison, and Miss Tao'er is living with Mr. Du Qi now, don't worry too much. ”

Chen Xi squinted: "But I still want to enter Qingcheng!"

Zhao He sighed: "Why bother, I came to persuade you because of my love in Qicheng, and some of the words in Su Jici are really disrespectful to my father!"

"So...... The godson is not strict, kills people and ignores the criminal law, and appoints people like Taishi, is it wrong for the senior brother to say?"

"Chen Xi!" Zhao He stared at Chen Xi and said: "Chen Xi, you were also the prince of a country, is this kind of thing, right or wrong, is it really that important?

"Oh, yes. Chen Xi smiled softly: "My father and emperor have taught me many times, the criminal law, the son of heaven, the rule, the prisoner, the national fortune, the people's livelihood, and the people's will." Aren't these the lessons you have to take? I'll tell you the truth, look at what your two elder brothers look like, you have a little bit of the people and a little bit of your family and country in your heart!"

The eunuch who made the tea had to lower his head to the ground.

Chen Xi wanted to refute Chen Xi, but he knew that what Chen Xi said was right, Zhao He, Zhao He, do you want to be the same as your two brothers? Or just turn a blind eye.

Chen Xi sighed lightly: "I have actually heard about it, you are not having a good time in Qingcheng these days, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was deposed, your second prince brother has been staring at you intently, and has asked Your Majesty many times, asking you to go to the border of Nanqing and Beixiao to guard the border passes, and even give you the throne, and ask you to go to your fiefdom early, in fact, you know what your brother means......

Chen Xi drank all the tea in his hand, stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, and looked back and said, "Zhao He, have you ever thought about whether your two elder brothers are suitable to take over this huge dynasty from your father, and what you need to do as an emperor, have you ever thought about it...... If that person is you, what should you do?"

Chen Xi walked out of the pavilion, Zhao He did not stop him, and Chen Xi got on the horse.

"Drive!"

Chen Xi entered Qingcheng.

Chen Xi didn't walk far, and the eunuch who was making tea beside Zhao He knelt on the ground and said, "The slave didn't hear anything just now!"

Zhao He smiled and said, "How long have you been with me?" ”

"The servant has been serving His Highness for eight years. ”

Zhao He chuckled: "Then what are you afraid of, go, go home!"

Walking into that alley again, Chen Xi was in no mood to buy more food.

Came to the end and knocked on the door.

"Crunch"

The door opened, Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised, it was Sister Tao'er, her face had completely returned to the appearance of a normal person, just wearing gloves, presumably in some places, it was still different from ordinary people.

Tao'er was surprised: "Chen Xi, why are you here?"

Chen Xi sighed: "Sister, how can I not come to this kind of thing." ”

Tao'er let Chen Xi in and closed the door again.

Du Qi walked out of the house and was not too surprised when he saw Chen Xi, he must have expected that Chen Xi would definitely come.

Du Qi brought Chen Xi and Tao'er into the house together, looked at Chen Xi and said, "I originally wanted Xiao Tao'er to go out to avoid it, but now that you are here, I am much more relieved." ”

Chen Xi nodded.

Du Qi said: "I don't particularly understand the realm of monks, I don't know what realm you are in now, it may be a little dangerous." ”

Chen Xi arched his hand and said: "Sir, don't worry, I'm coming! Just let Mr. be safe! Let Senior Brother and Sister Tao'er be safe!"

Chen Xi secretly thought in his heart that it was a big deal to ask Sun Li to make a move then, but now that Sun Li saw Chen Xi again, his head must be big.

Du Qi nodded and said, "How can there be a saying that students don't contribute and teachers don't contribute." ”

"Mr. ......"

On this night, a letter was secretly delivered to Zhao He's mansion, which was extremely solemn, asking Zhao He to open it in person, and the messenger was faintly surrounded by aura.

The letter was sent by the prime minister, and it was written like this, Your Majesty is seriously ill, and you have been dealing with court affairs for more than half a month, and Your Highness is the respect of the prince, how can you not worry about state affairs, I have played Your Majesty, and asked Your Highness to be appointed as the supervisor of the country, Your Majesty has agreed, and tomorrow the court will announce that Your Highness will have all the people and the world in mind.

Zhao He squinted slightly, put the letter in the brazier and burned it, the green smoke curled, and under the candlelight, Zhao He's face was neither happy nor sad.

The next day, the court meeting, the first performance of the Taishi, is to play the invitation to kill the bold Su Ji, there are ministers to respond, Zhao Zhang smiled coldly, and also said to the prime minister, that Su Ji, insulting His Majesty, should indeed be killed.

If a person's life is exchanged for the tilt of the Taishi, this transaction is really cost-effective.

To the surprise of Taishi and Zhao Zhang, the prime minister was surprisingly calm today, and those ministers on weekdays were also unexpectedly calm today, and those scholars who had visited Du Period, and the courtiers who claimed to be named disciples of Du Period, did not react violently today.

At this time, an old eunuch slowly walked to the stage from the back of the hall, looked at the ministers below, slowly opened the holy decree, and said, "Your Majesty has an order." ”

The ministers knelt on the ground.

"Give Zhao He the throne!"

Zhao He was overjoyed when he heard this, but soon his mood would be as cold as Zhao Yue's, and then he would tend to go crazy.

"I am in poor health, so I gave Zhao He as the regent, and I also manage the affairs of the court and handle all affairs. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The old eunuch closed the holy decree and smiled at Zhao He and said, "Your Highness will accept the decree!"

Zhao He got up and raised his head, and the old eunuch got out of the way, signaled Zhao He to go over and make the dragon chair and reminded: "This is also what Your Majesty promised!"

Zhao He went over and sat down slowly.

The following ministers: "Attend the regent." ”

Zhao Zhang lowered his head, his face was distorted, the anger in his heart was climbing rapidly, and the madness in his heart was showing up little by little.

Zhao He looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground below, and his heart was mixed.

Could it be that what Chen Xi said was really possible? Zhao He, who has two elder brothers, and Zhao He, who was born very late, actually never expected it once.
