Madam, let's steam buns together

After the meal, Wolfberry took the initiative to pack up the dishes and leave the room, and said intimately that he would not come back tonight, and asked the uncle to take good care of the young master.

Zhang Huaruo obediently lay on the bed, let Yang Dabao cover him with the quilt and squeezed the corners of the quilt, his body was well covered under the quilt, his head was exposed, his eyes kept looking at Yang Dabao, and he followed Yang Dabao's movements. turn to.

Yang Dabao gently covered Zhang Huaruo's eyes with his palm, so as not to be distracted by this cute behavior and unable to do things with peace of mind: "Sleep."

It was getting dark outside, but Zhang Huaruo didn't feel sleepy at all. He didn't wake up until noon, and it's only been a few hours. He's not a pig who sleeps when he's full. How could he feel sleepy so soon: "I can't fall asleep."

Seeing Yang Dabao going out after finishing everything, Zhang Huaruo hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

In Zhang Huaruo's view, Yang Dabao should be by his side all the time now.

Yang Dabao explained: "I sleep in the outhouse, if you have something to call me, I'll be outside."

After finishing speaking, he was going to continue to go out, Zhang Huaruo quickly lifted the quilt and grabbed him, and pulled Yang Dabao back to the bed.

Zhang Huaruo moved in, although he didn't say it clearly, but this meaning has been clearly conveyed to Yang Dabao, now it depends on whether Yang Dabao will stay or not.

From Yang Dabao's eyes, it can be seen that he is hesitating. He looked into Zhang Huaruo's sincere and expectant eyes, and no longer hesitated, showing an expression that he really lost to you.

Yang Dabao lay down next to Zhang Huaruo, his eyes glanced at the door from time to time, apparently worried about being seen by his father-in-law, Zhang Huaruo reached out and turned his face to his side: "Even if my father sees him, he won't say anything, you Are you that afraid of him?"

Yang Dabao still felt a little uneasy in his heart: "I know that the prime minister is a very nice person, but even if I know this, I still..."

It's natural to be afraid of the old man, and it can't be changed.

Zhang Huaruo laughed, and pulled the quilt over the two of them to cover them, even covering their heads under the quilt: "This way he won't be able to see, talk to me for a while, I don't want to sleep yet."

The inside of the quilt was full of Zhang Huaruo's faint herbal smell, which smelled very good. I don't know if it was because of the sweltering heat in the quilt or other reasons, Yang Dabao blushed quietly, but fortunately, it was dark inside the quilt, so Zhang Huaruo couldn't see his changes.

The two of them chatted one after another, and the crescent moon on the branch gradually changed its position.

Zhang Xieyi drew up the resignation form as quickly as possible, without further delay, closed the paperwork and rushed directly to the palace to meet the emperor.

The palace, the imperial study.

The little emperor was sitting on the imperial case listlessly looking at the brochure in his hand. Recently, Guotai Minan had no major worries. The brochure was full of trivial matters that made him uninterested, but he had to read it, so he could only resist the tiredness. Yi rested his chin and looked at it one by one.

Director Li, who was waiting outside, came in: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang is here, and he handed over the Zhang Zhezi, saying that he has something important to discuss."

The little emperor regained his spirits all of a sudden: "Quickly show it to me."

It must be a very, very important matter for Zhang Xieyi to come to the palace to meet him so late. Even though it is not appropriate to be happy because of a major event, the little emperor still couldn't hide his excitement.

Even if it's a quarrel with Zhang Xieyi because of disagreement on state affairs, it's better than being in a daze about those trivial matters.

Director Li hurriedly handed over the brochure, and waited to be dispatched at any time, watching the smile on the little emperor's face gradually disappear after seeing the contents of the brochure.

The little emperor put down the notebook and turned his back to the imperial case.

Mr. Li was curious about what was written in Prime Minister Zhang's notebook, but he also knew that it was something he could not be curious about, so he was as quiet as if he was not in the room.

The little emperor's mood was very strange, not angry, not shocked, nor uneasy. Manager Li looked at the back of the little emperor. If he had to determine an adjective for the feeling that the little emperor gave him now, Mr. Li felt lonely.

Quiet for a long time.

The little emperor turned around: "You go and tell the prime minister, Zhezi... I accept it, he doesn't need to come in, let him go back."

"Here."

Manager Li retreated slowly, and handed over all the little emperor's words to Zhang Xieyi.

Zhang Xieyi asked Manager Li: "Has Your Majesty read the notes?"

Manager Li replied: "I've seen it."

Zhang Xieyi didn't say anything after hearing this, but stood outside the imperial study for a while, then turned and left.

Zhang Xieyi originally thought that the little emperor would not agree so easily, and was ready to comfort the little emperor, but she did not expect that the little emperor would agree so readily this time.

Yes, needless to say, Zhang Xieyi understood that the little emperor had agreed to let him go just by the act of the little emperor reading the book and accepting it.

Before the little emperor refused to let Zhang Xieyi resign and leave, he could see that Zhang Xieyi still had hesitation in his heart, so he procrastinated and didn't want him to go. Seeing him enter the palace so late today to hand in the paperwork, plus The words written in the booklet are sincere,

The little emperor knew that he could no longer keep Zhang Xieyi by his side, so he could only agree.

Director Li watched Zhang Xieyi leave and turned back to the house. The little emperor saw him coming in, so he knew that Zhang Xieyi had gone far away, sighed melancholy, and suddenly ordered: "Pull you to Wangyue Pavilion, give orders, Bring more wine."

Wangyue Pavilion is not the residence of any empress or concubine, but a tall and lonely pavilion. Whenever the little emperor is in a bad mood, he will stay there alone, drinking to express his feelings.

Mr. Li didn't know what was written in Prime Minister Zhang's notes that made the little emperor need to drink to relieve his boredom, so he didn't dare to ask more, but because of his duty, he still wanted to persuade the little emperor: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'll be here tomorrow morning." You have to go to the morning court, so don't drink too much alcohol, just have a few drinks."

The little emperor glanced at him, knowing in his heart that Mr. Li was right, he couldn't drink too much tonight, but he was really in a bad mood now, and planned to be willful once: "Then don't go to court early, you go to the palace tomorrow morning Wait at the door, and when those ministers come, let them go home."

Director Li's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the little emperor was trying to punish him and all the ministers on purpose, otherwise he would not have ordered him to do so. He could have sent someone to the mansions of the adults to inform you that he did not have to go to court tomorrow morning, but he insisted on letting Director Li Waiting at the gate of the palace early, isn't it just to make those ministers get up early for nothing, and let Director Li go to the cold wind to freeze for a while.

Now it was confirmed that the little emperor's mood was much worse than what he had guessed, so Manager Li didn't dare to say any more, and stepped back to handle matters.

Looking at the candlelight on the imperial case, the little emperor couldn't help recalling a night a year ago, at about the same time, Xiao Min, the former commander of the imperial army who had gone home to marry a wife and had children for more than ten years, suddenly brought the former emperor Enter the palace to meet him with the token, and hand him a secret letter from the first emperor.

Xiao Min came suddenly and secretly, except for the little emperor, Manager Li and a few soldiers who knew Xiao Min, no one knew that Xiao Min had returned to Chang'an City, and even went to the palace to meet the little emperor.

The little emperor opened the secret letter brought by Xiao Min, and after a cursory scan, it was indeed his father's handwriting, and then carefully read it from the beginning, the more he looked at it, the colder his heart became.

The little emperor didn't have much contact with the late emperor. The late emperor died of illness when he was very young. Most of his understanding of the late emperor came from the mouths of the maids and eunuchs who served him, and part of it came from Zhang Xieyi.

The court ladies and eunuchs who took care of the little emperor dared not speak ill of the late emperor. The words they used were nothing more than good words, such as wise, martial, literary and martial arts, diligent in politics and caring for the people like a son, and an emperor through the ages and admired by all people. The words sounded illusory, so that the little emperor couldn't imagine what kind of person such a person was.

In his heart when he was a child, what he wanted to know was the image of a father, not an unreachable emperor.

After he was a little older, Zhang Xieyi finally couldn't beat him, and told him some great achievements of the late emperor, and also some embarrassing things about the late emperor when he was young. Until this time, the image of the late emperor in the little emperor's heart finally got a little closer Feeling, no longer feel that his father is an unreachable figure, but a real person who really existed.

Later, the little emperor had his own intelligence network, and only then did he know how cold-blooded his father was, and he also lamented Zhang Xieyi's thoughtfulness. Those cold-blooded things he did, he tried his best to maintain the image of the late emperor as a good father in the little emperor's heart.

Now, he already has the ability to judge right from wrong by himself, and he is an emperor who can plan strategies on his own.

After reading the secret letter, the little emperor looked at Xiao Min calmly: "Who has read this secret letter besides me?"

Xiao Min hurriedly replied: "This is a secret entrustment of the former emperor to my minister. During this period, it has not passed through the hands of others. The minister is terrified and dare not tell anyone. Even the family members do not know that I have the letter from the late emperor." Secret letter."

"What about you, have you ever taken it apart and looked at it?"

As soon as the little emperor said this, Xiao Min quickly knelt down and saluted: "My minister... no, it should be a grassroots man now. The grassroots dare not, and swear on the lives of their wives, children, children, and themselves, that they have never opened the secret letter of the late emperor. I don’t know what’s inside. The late emperor didn’t tell the grassroots what was written in it, but he just told the grassroots to keep it well and hand over the secret letter to His Majesty when His Majesty is an adult and securely on the throne.”

After listening to the little emperor, he put the secret letter on the flame of the candle in front of Xiao Min. The red fire snake greedily bit the paper, and it covered the whole paper in no time. The little emperor let go of it and let it fall. Into the empty tea bowl on the imperial case, it gradually turned into black ashes.

The little emperor said lightly: "Go down, let Director Li take you to the warehouse to receive 3000 taels of silver, which is a reward for your devotion to duty, don't go back to Chang'an City from now on, live your life well, don't tell anyone Alone, you have been to the palace tonight and met me."

"Cao Min understands." Xiao Min retreated in fear.

Long before leaving home, Xiao Min was already prepared to go and never return. The late emperor handed over this secret letter to him so cautiously and secretly, which shows that the content is very important. With the late emperor's style, he will definitely In the last sentence of the secret letter, let the little emperor silence the person who came to deliver the letter.

Xiao Min was in a daze until he had safely left Chang'an City. Did the little emperor really let him go?

Paying respectful obeisance in the direction of the palace, Xiao Min hurried home with the silver taels, which was enough for his family to live on in this lifetime.

The end of the secret letter was exactly as Xiao Min expected, the late emperor ordered the little emperor to kill Xiao Min.

The little emperor did not act according to the above words, because he felt that Xiao Min was not lying, Xiao Min had not read the contents of the secret letter, and had devoted himself to protecting the secret letter all these years until the secret letter was handed over to the little emperor intact. At present, for such a loyal person, the little emperor really couldn't figure out why he wanted to kill him.

The little emperor did not kill Xiao Min, which meant that he would not complete the other matter that the late emperor had entrusted in the secret letter.

——After the foundation of the emperor's business was established, the prime minister was killed and buried in the imperial tomb secretly.
