Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Came Myself
"Left and right, pass my prince's order and summon the prefect of Tianjing. If this kind of thing happens at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I have to ask him if he still wants the title of the first prefect in the world!"
"Remove all the city gate garrisons, investigate the matter thoroughly, and as for the city gate garrison, the Imperial Forest Army will take over for the time being. ”
Gao Shengtian looked at a cadre of soldiers kneeling on the ground and said, "Don't worry, if you don't have the money of the people, this prince will definitely return your innocent name." ”
Watching Gao Shengtian vigorously issue one order after another, Shui Xie also slightly appreciated in his heart, although Gao Shengtian was still relatively young, he had already shown the temperament of an emperor in some aspects.
"Brother Xie, I came in a hurry today, and I haven't had time to inform Shengji Shenghan, otherwise they will definitely be making a fuss about coming. I have already sent someone to book a room in Taoranju, Brother Xie, you have just entered Beijing, you are in the dust, go and rest first, tomorrow I will call Shangshengtian Shenghan, how about we go to the capital together?"
Seeing Gao Shengtian so enthusiastic, Shui Xie was grateful in his heart, and said: "The eldest brother has this intention, and the younger brother is already satisfied, everything is arranged by the eldest brother." ”
"That's great!" Gao Shengtian stroked his palms and laughed.
"Hmph, am I so inconspicuous?" Wang Weidong snorted abruptly.
Gao Shengtian was only excited after seeing the water pavilion, and then he noticed that there was a guy with an obscene face next to the water pavilion, so he laughed dryly twice and said sarcastically: "Dare to ask who this little brother is?"
Without waiting for Wang Weidong to answer, Shui Xie grabbed his shoulders, showing an intimate appearance, with a smile on his face, and said, "His name is Wang Weidong, my newly accepted little brother." ”
"It turned out to be the younger brother of Brother Xie, and that is the younger brother below, haha. Gao Sheng Genius didn't care about Wang Weidong when he heard this, rolled his eyes with a bitter face, and continued with a smile on his face: "Little brother Weidong, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell your brothers directly, and your brothers will try their best to help you solve them." ”
"Plop!" There was a muffled sound, and Wang Weidong had already fallen to the ground.
"Haha!" Seeing this scene, Shui Xie and Gao Shengtian glanced at each other knowingly and laughed heartily.
"Brother Xie, you are having a good time in the capital now, there are still important things in my palace, I can't accompany you, you have to take the first step. Gao Shengtian looked in the direction of the imperial city and sighed slightly.
"Since the eldest brother has something important to do, then the younger brother is going to go shopping by himself. Shui Xie said with a smile, he understood Gao Shengtian's slightly frustrated mood at this time, obviously there was something to worry about, but after all, it was a royal affair, and it was inconvenient for Shui Xie to know at this moment.
"Brother Xie, you have a good rest, wash away the dust, and I will send someone to Tao Ranju tomorrow morning to invite you. Gao Shengtian smiled apologetically, and then turned over on his horse.
"Brother Shengtian, the younger brother has another question. Shui Xie asked suddenly.
Gao Shengtian was stunned for a moment, he had already seen the rare look of hope in Shui Xue's eyes, and his heart moved, and said, "Brother Xie is worried about something, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”
"May I ask if Zheng Sixiao, the former prime minister of the dynasty, is he in the middle of the court now?" Shui Xie was breathing a little short of breath when he said this.
Gao Shengtian smiled and said, "Old Minister Si Xiao has already been appointed as the prime minister of this dynasty a year ago. Speaking of this, he touched his nose, smiled, and continued: "And at the strong request of my father, Old Minister Si Xiao also serves as the crown prince's concubine. ”
Shui Xie's hanging heart at this time finally let go, since Zheng Sixiao has taken over as prime minister in Tianjing, then he and Xuan Yan can meet immediately, otherwise, the world is vast, where are you going to find it? At this time, Shui Xue's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably, and his face was slightly red with excitement.
Gao Shengtian looked at the expression of the water pavilion and was surprised, but he didn't ask too much, and said: "Brother Xie, the Prime Minister's Mansion is in the southeast corner of the capital, and that area is all the mansions of high-ranking officials. You're going to look for Si Xiao's old face, even if you go straight to it. ”
"Thank you, big brother. Shui Xie couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and his voice trembled faintly.
"Brother Xie, then I'll leave first. Regarding the situation of the Water Pavilion, Gao Shengtian had already vaguely guessed a few points in his heart, and then there was a sudden smile on his face.
"By the way, Brother Xie, this thing is for you. Gao Shengtian flipped his hand, took out a golden medallion from his sleeve, handed it to the water pavilion, and said: "This is a royal gold medal, seeing this gold medal is like the saint in person, you can go anywhere in this imperial city." ”
Shui Xie took a deep breath, took the gold medal, and said, "In this way, thank you to the emperor and eldest brother." ”
Gao Shengtian laughed loudly, and dozens of elite soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army rode away, leaving smoke and dust all the way.
Shui Xie looked at the gold medal in his hand, his eyes flashing thoughtfully.
This square gold medal is flowing with golden light, engraved with a golden dragon that swallows clouds and spits mist, vivid, lifelike, and faintly reveals a kingly atmosphere. There are four powerful characters on top of the gold medal: If I am here!
Seeing these four big characters, Shui Xie couldn't help but gasp. He knew in his heart that the reason why the crown prince Gao Shengtian gave this gold medal to himself was definitely the instruction of the Qing Emperor, otherwise with the precious value of this gold medal, Gao Shengtian would not be able to easily give it to himself. This represents a strong solicitation and absolute trust.
Seeing that this gold medal is like the emperor in person, it seems that now the intention of the imperial court to win over is very obvious, but the more this is the case, the more contradictory the heart of the water pavilion becomes.
Why did the Qing Emperor, whom he had never met, value himself so much? Was it just because he had saved the lives of the three Shengtian siblings?
What Shui Xie didn't know was that before this, there were only two gold medals in the entire Dagao Dynasty, one in the hands of the crown prince Gao Shengtian, and one in the hands of the old minister Zheng Sixiao, and now, the Shui Xie already has the third gold medal that I came to see in person.
Shui Xie flipped his hand, put the gold medal into the storage space, and said to Wang Weidong, who was looking left and right beside him: "You go to Taoranju first, and I'll be there later." ”
For this most famous inn restaurant in the world, Shuixie will not believe that Wang Weidong will not find it.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Weidong asked in surprise.
"Prime Minister's Mansion. Shui Xie looked in the direction of the imperial city and didn't look back, but his voice trembled faintly.
......
Spotting the direction, the figure of the water pavilion quickly walked through the streets and alleys of the capital. The thought of seeing Xuan Yan soon, the excitement in his heart was difficult to contain, his heart seemed to jump to his throat, and the light of longing in his eyes became more and more intense.
At noon, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the streets of Beijing, and everyone looked at a young man running quickly with surprised eyes, and they all kept slandering: This guy is so anxious, is his wife robbed?
I have to say that Tianjing City is really very large, the streets and alleys extend in all directions, although the water pavilion did not use the Yang Dragon in the sky, but with its speed, it still arrived at the mansion after half an hour.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion, whew, it's finally here. ”
There were two rows of soldiers standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them with tigers on their backs, holding spears in their hands, and their faces were radiant. On both sides of the vermilion lacquer door lie on two lifelike stone lions, revealing a majestic aura.
The five big characters of the Prime Minister's Mansion are hung on the door plaque, the golden light is shining, vigorous and powerful, and the inscription next to it is "Ten years of the Yuan Qing Dynasty"!
The water pavilion understands that the creation is the meaning of the imperial gift, and the four words of the ten years of the Qing Dynasty are naturally the payment of the Qing Emperor. Unexpectedly, the entire plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion was actually from the hands of the Qing Emperor, and it seems that the old minister Si Xiao was quite valued by the Qing Emperor.
Looking at the spectacular Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him, the water pavilion breathed a long sigh of relief, with a smile in the corner of his eyes. Maybe as long as you step over this door wall, you can see Si Xiao and Xuan Yan.
Seeing that the long-awaited expectations were about to come true, Shui Xie's heart was a little apprehensive, and even he couldn't say why there was such an inexplicable feeling.
