People are selfish, if you meet a lover who is generous and doesn't mind having other people around you, then the other party must not love you so much, or rather, they can't do anything about monopoly and are willing to endure it.

Gentle and unwilling, as for what Shu Qi thought, she actually didn't know.

Xuanyuan Jing sneered: "If you have to choose between her and the country, I must still choose the country." ”

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, where is it not better than a woman?

"Then there's nothing to complain about. Gently said: "This path is your own choice." ”

Xuanyuan Jing was silent, and nodded after a while: "Yes, I chose it myself, there is nothing to complain about." ”

That being said, his temper is getting more and more eccentric, and he often sits in the harem without saying a word, or sits on the court with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty. The official of the court said with a smile: "It is Your Majesty's birthday soon, and it stands to reason that the meritorious ministers of the court should be rewarded." The new dynasty has just been established, and this move is also conducive to subduing people's hearts. Weichen listed the merits of the lords in the court, and the rewards they deserved, and asked His Majesty to take a look. ”

Xuanyuan Jing took the fold, opened it and looked at it. It is not surprising at all that Xiao Jingtang's name was listed first, and there was no way to improve his status, so these ministers who were biased towards him made a list of rewards, and also asked that the position of the Hou Ye could be hereditary to the descendants of the Xiao family.

Looking up at the court, Xuanyuan Jing suddenly found that this large number of important ministers didn't know when they all became Xiao Jingtang's henchmen. His holy decree may not be as effective as Xiao Jingtang's words.

His heart sank slightly, and the emperor laughed: "I will think about this matter for a long time." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Xuanyuan Jing began to observe Xiao Jingtang, although he has been friends with Xiao Jingtang for more than ten years and knows the roots, but the emperor will inevitably think more, he is now equivalent to putting his life in Xiao Jingtang's hands, is there really no problem?

"Aiqing thinks, is there something wrong with this reward roster?" Looking at him with deep eyes, the emperor asked.

Xiao Jingtang arched his hand: "Yes." ”

"Oh?"

"Weichen's reward is too much, and the limelight is too much. The person wearing the official uniform in front of him said calmly: "The merit is high and the lord is shocked, even if His Majesty will not suspect Wei Chen, this move is too public." ”

Slightly stunned, Xuanyuan Jing lowered his eyes: "I ...... How could I doubt you. ”

"Is Your Majesty free today?" Seeing his expression, Xiao said in surprise: "If you have leisure after handling official business, Your Majesty might as well go to drink with your ministers." ”

Xuanyuan Jing glanced at him, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The two are only equal when they drink, so he probably has something to say to him, right?

went to the restaurant outside the palace as promised, but when he opened the door, he saw more than Xiao Jingtang.

All the ministers in the room were wearing regular clothes, giggling and laughing, and when they turned their heads to see Xuanyuan Jing, they were all dumbfounded and silent.

Xuanyuan Jing frowned.

"Third brother is here?" Xiao Jingtang pretended that nothing had happened, got up and pulled him into the room, and said slightly drunk: "Let me introduce to you, this is our third brother." ”

A few important ministers, look at me, I look at you, I didn't dare to call out the third brother seriously.

Xuanyuan Jing pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Since I came out to drink, my identity doesn't matter, I can call my third brother." ”

If you are bold, you really shouted the third brother, and the others watched, and when they saw that the emperor was really not angry, they breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again.

Xuanyuan Jing was also not formal, he drank with them, and he was not ambiguous at all, and drank several important ministers to the ground. The relationship between the monarch and the minister instantly became close.

"Fang Shilang, right?" Catching Fang Zhiheng, Xuanyuan Jing squinted his eyes and said drunkly: "I asked you to deal with the remnants of the chaotic party, and you haven't given me a satisfactory answer, you can give me this glass of wine to drink!"

Fang Zhiheng was a little apprehensive, glanced at Xiao Jingtang, Xiao Jingtang smiled and handed him the wine glass: "The third brother's order, if you are negligent, you should drink three glasses." ”

Fang Zhiheng pursed his lips, drank three cups with a sad face, and fell to the side. Xuanyuan Jing laughed, grabbed the next courtier and continued to pour wine.

After they all left, Xiao Jingtang picked up a can of residual wine and poured a glass for Xuanyuan Jing and himself.

"What are your intentions today?" asked Xuanyuan Jing drunkenly.

"Do you remember what the third prince told you at the beginning?" asked Xiao Jingtang.

Slightly stunned, Xuanyuan Jing remembered when he was in Xingcheng.

At that time, he went to Xingcheng, and he also had the intention of persuading Xiao Jingtang to go out of the mountain, because he knew that this person was talented and sophisticated, and he would be a good help for him. At that time, Xiao Jingtang didn't want to contaminate the court, so he only said: "It's good to be a businessman and be happy." ”

"Won't you help me?" he asked, "Just help me." ”

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Jingtang said: "There is no problem in helping the third prince, but Jingtangzhi is not in the imperial court, if the third prince reaches the top one day, then let Xiao be free, how about it?"

"Good!"

Coming back to his senses, Xuanyuan Jing looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Do you want to leave?"

Crazy, right? Now that Xiao Jingtang is above 10,000 people under one person, and half of the world is in his hands, how can he be willing to abandon all this and become a small businessman again?

"This is something that His Majesty promised Weichen from the beginning, and he can't break his word. Xiao Jingtang said: "The hundreds of officials in the court rely on Weichen because they are not familiar with Your Majesty and do not know what Your Majesty is capable of. As long as His Majesty is familiar with it first, and then he is powerful, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can surrender. ”

"But ......"

"Wechen has done everything he can. Stretching out his hand and handing him a thick booklet with the words "roster" written on it, Xiao Jingtang said: "Your Majesty can understand the family background and personality of each official by reading this thing more." ”

“......”

"If Your Majesty allows, next month Weichen wants to 'die of illness'. ”

Looking at him blankly, Xuanyuan Jing really couldn't understand: "The eldest husband is in the court, you have everything, isn't it a pity to give up?"

Smiling slightly, Xiao Jingtang looked out the window: "Wei Chenzhi is not in the court, and there are very few things he wants. Superfluous things, it's not a pity to give up at all. ”

Some men like power very much, but he doesn't like it, it's tiring, he prefers to take money from other people's pockets, and he has a great sense of accomplishment.

"Even if you want to retire, I can seal you as an idle marquis, why do you want to 'die of illness'?" Xuanyuan Jing frowned: "As soon as you leave, there will be chaos in the court." ”

"No, Your Majesty has the power to secure the country. Xiao Jingtang said: "As for why you have to die of illness...... Probably because of the minister's name. ”

"The minister doesn't want to be surprised by the court, he just wants to be surprised by the auditorium. ”

"The minister wants to get married. ”
