God bless the spring of the second year.

After the morning court, the young emperor had just returned to his dormitory and was about to take off his overly heavy and cumbersome court clothes when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the palace——

"Your Majesty, he is changing clothes, you can't just break into the inner hall like this..."

Emperor Qing vaguely heard the begging sound of his servant Wang An, and someone's almost arrogant reprimand.

"What kind of thing are you that dare to block the way of this king?"

Outside the hall, a handsome young man in a red robe sneered and raised his eyebrows, and then, under the usual gaze of the imperial guards, he kicked away the servant standing in front of him.

Gee.

Seeing the chief internal servant who was kicked to the corner of the wall, clutching his head and moaning, and didn't get up for a long time, the imperial guards outside the hall all looked sideways.

Some people gloated over this kind of drama that would be screened every few days, while others expressed disgust, but no one felt sympathy for Wang An's experience.

Well, who made Wang An, the chief servant, fail too much in life.

Of course, they still don't understand Wang An's persevering act of asking for hardship.

Even the guards who were new to the palace knew that the most annoying person in the palace was the young prince Chu Xiao. As an old man who had served two generations of emperors, Wang An couldn't learn how to have a long memory.

After getting rid of the only guy who didn't have long eyes, Chu Xiao broke into the inner hall carelessly.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Emperor Qing, who had just changed into his regular clothes, turned around, waved away the palace servants, and said helplessly, "Why do you always have to make trouble with Wang An?"

"Obviously he insisted on making things difficult for me."

Chu Xiao threw off his shoes and socks, plopped onto the soft and spacious dragon bed, and then retorted without looking back: "How could a well-behaved and peaceful person like me go to seek trouble from others?"

Clever?Safe?

Emperor Qing secretly rolled his eyes, and whispered, "You say that every time you have an argument with someone."

As for credibility...

"Then you believe it or not."

Chu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Emperor Qing out of the corner of his eye. There was a hint of threat in his gaze. Emperor Qing straightened his back and responded solemnly: "Believe me, believe me, how can I not believe what you say?" Woolen cloth."

As a qualified younger brother, Emperor Qing said that there is no such thing as integrity.

Anyway, there are thousands of mistakes, and his brother is definitely not wrong :)

Emperor Qing: "By the way, why did you come here so early today?"

In the past, Chu Xiao would usually come to him at the time of breakfast, so early today, it was a bit abnormal.

"Aren't you tired after putting on airs all morning?" Chu Xiao didn't rush to answer this question, but patted the bed beside him, and signaled Emperor Qing to come and lie down with him, "Come, come, relax .”

Emperor Qing turned his head, and quickly glanced around the hall. After confirming that the palace people were far enough away, he immediately relaxed his body and lay down beside Chu Xiao.

The two brothers leaned their heads against each other, whispering and biting their ears.

Chu Xiao: "I heard that the old Hubu Shangshu is making a fuss again in the early court?"

Emperor Qing: "Yes."

He issued a decree a few days ago to confer a prince title on his younger brother. This was a reasonable thing to do, but Li Lian, the Minister of the Household Department, had to focus on the issue of Chu Xiao being young and having no achievements in the court, and raised various proposals. Protesting, clamoring for him to consecrate Chu Xiao...

Chu Xiao: "He wants to suppress your prestige in the court."

To be honest, Chu Xiao didn't care about the noble title of Mr. Laoshi at all. Whether it was a prince or a county king, it was just a false name for an idler like him who would not interfere in the government affairs.

This point must be very clear to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Therefore, the reason why Hubu Shangshu is so tossed about is quite patient.

As the saying goes, power touches people's hearts. Emperor Qing has not been on the throne for a long time. He has a gentle personality and is still young, which will inevitably make people look down on him. An ambitious minister like Li Lian will easily have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"In my opinion, let's simply snap him off!"

Chu Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Emperor Qing: "...don't make trouble."

As an emperor, he was always suppressed by ministers in the court. It would be a lie to say that he was not aggrieved, but in Emperor Qing's view, directly adopting strong and brutal methods to suppress him would be inferior.

"Li Shangshu is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he is also a cabinet scholar. He has countless party members in the court, and he can move wherever he says it." Emperor Qing patiently explained: "When the time is right, I will naturally put away these worries. Get rid of those who are divided one by one, you must not act impulsively."

If he really followed his brother's suggestion, then he would definitely be famous forever.

In the name of a generation of tyrants.

"Wait, wait, you always say you have to wait..."

Chu Xiao was aggrieved and furious. He was obviously capable and capable. He could easily get rid of those people without leaving any future troubles, but Emperor Qing always treated him like a child and refused to let him intervene no matter what. .

So angry o( ̄ヘ ̄o)

Well, if not, he might as well give Emperor Qing a cut first and then play...

Noticing the change of expression on Chu Xiao's face, Emperor Qing's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said, "Xiao Xiao, you know that I never want you to get involved in this kind of thing."

Yes, Chu Xiao is indeed strong in martial arts, and can help him clear up those obstacles in the court without anyone noticing, but if he really did that, what is the difference between him and a coward?

Furthermore, even if you put aside righteousness and dignity, and just stand from the perspective of a big brother——

Then he would be even more reluctant.

It has been rumored in the outside world that Chu Xiao seldom appears in front of people because of a serious illness and needs to stay in bed all year round, but the truth is not the case.

Chu Xiao didn't have a serious illness, but a strange poison in his body.

The queen mother was conspired against when she was pregnant with Chu Xiao, causing Chu Xiao to be born with an incurable cold poison. If it wasn't for a coincidence, she was lucky enough to find a long-lost martial arts cheat book, so that Chu Xiao could Relying on special kung fu to suppress the cold poison...

In short, Emperor Qing was only short of pampering Chu Xiao to heaven, and it was too late for his heartache, so how could he be willing to let him work for himself?

Chu Xiao's scalp was numb from Emperor Qing's eyes that looked at his sweetheart, and it took him a while to recover, but his first reaction was not to argue with Emperor Qing, but to explode directly. Hairy.

"If you call me Xiaoxiao again, I will be impatient with you!"

This nickname, which is not at all manly, has long been put into the forbidden zone by him--it's fine if his mother always calls him that, as a son of man, you have to bear it if you want, and you have to bear it if you don't want to , but other people—even if his own brother called him that, he absolutely couldn't bear it!

Chu Xiao stared vigorously, trying to make a fierce enough expression with his seemingly intimidating face.

Ran and egg.

Emperor Qing couldn't help but wanted to laugh.

Chu Xiao: Baby won’t play with you anymore (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here? Don't leave, continue to chat with the emperor." Emperor Qing turned over, looked at Chu Xiao who crawled to the bedside, and suppressed a smile Continue to tease.

"Go and play by yourself!"

Chu Xiao kicked on his boots indiscriminately, and rushed out of the bedroom without looking back.

Looking at Chu Xiao's furious back, Emperor Qing raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sly smile.He knew that just mentioning that nickname would immediately divert Chu Xiao's attention.

This trick has been tried and tested.

At the end of the time, the most famous restaurant in the capital was in Yunzhai, in a private box with excellent concealment.

"Master Li, if you want me to tell you, there is no need for you to take that book today."

A well-built middle-aged man, while drinking wine, shook his head and said to the benevolent and well-dressed old man next to him, "It's just a title. Anyway, everyone knows that the man was weak and sick since he was a child. It's a useless medicine jar, even the imperial physician concluded that he won't live past thirty, so it's no big deal to make Imakami happy."

The old man known as Mr. Li snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "It's not that title that I can't get used to."

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked jokingly: "Then you can't get used to that little prince, right?"

He had heard that Li Lian had some quarrels with that young prince, but the news that came from hearsay was probably exaggerated, and its veracity was yet to be questioned.

Li Lian: "My lord, we smart people don't talk dark words, and I really don't deal with that sick man, so if you want to cooperate, you can give me a good word."

In his early years, he was "unintentionally" ruined by Chu Xiao several times, and even almost delayed his official career. Naturally, he hated Chu Xiao sincerely. This time, he was also determined to take revenge.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to add some trouble to the little emperor by the way.

Although this Lord Wang was an idle official transferred back to the capital in the past two years, but in private, he was very close to officials from another faction in the court. No matter how reluctant, I'm afraid I have to compromise.

"Master Li is so frank, it makes the lower officials feel ashamed."

The middle-aged man calmly ignored the topic of cooperation, flattered Li Lian with a glib tongue, and tried to persuade him to drink, "Come, come, I will toast you a glass."

"Master Li is a good drinker, have another drink!"

"Come again... come again..."

After drinking more than a dozen cups of aged wine in succession, Li Lian's sanity gradually blurred, and he lost all scruples when speaking.

Listening to a lot of vicious curses and many disrespectful words to Emperor Qing, Chu Xiao was hiding in the next room and eavesdropping on the corner: Hehe, if this person finds death, he really can't be held back by eight horses ah.

At noon that day, Chu Xiao had lunch with Emperor Qing as usual.

After lunch, Chu Xiao did not sit still as usual.

"Brother Huang, I have something to discuss with you." He put on a posture that he wanted to discuss seriously with Emperor Qing, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Emperor Qing was waiting in full force and raised his vigilance.

Emperor Qing: No, I don't want to hear it!

Countless past experiences told him that as long as Chu Xiao calls him Brother Huang in such a serious manner, nothing good will happen!

"Brother, I've been bored recently, and I want to go out of the palace to have some fun, what do you think?"

"No." Emperor Qing immediately refused without thinking, but seeing Chu Xiao's disappointed expression, he hastened to make amends: "It's not that the emperor is unwilling to agree to your request, it's just... think about it, if you Leaving the Forbidden City, the cold poison on my body flared up halfway, what should I do?"

Chu Xiao: "Then I can take the medicine with me. Besides, I don't plan to go far, I'm just going to relax nearby."

not go far?

Emperor Qing thought to himself, I believe in your evil.

What kind of virtue is his younger brother, can Emperor Qing have no idea?If Chu Xiao was really let out of the palace, this brat would disappear in the blink of an eye.

and so--

Emperor Qing opened the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "You just have to die."

He turned around and called all the imperial guards over, watching Chu Xiao tightly, never giving Chu Xiao the slightest chance to leave the Forbidden City!
