The atmosphere in the main hall fell into embarrassment for a while, the whole hall could hear needles drop quietly, and Ying Chenkun's trembling voice echoed: "I insisted on building the palace just to pray for my mother's birthday, why did I become a commoner when I came to the emperor's uncle's mouth?" The foolish king who has no regard for his life!"

Ying Yuan didn't speak again, just stood straight in the hall, looking at the emperor without any hesitation.

Although Xu Jiu could only see his back, Ying Yuan must have stared at the emperor with the death gaze he was familiar with. Right and wrong are all in his eyes, and there is really nowhere to look at people. Hide away.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea." At this moment, King Xian spoke.

He stood up from the queue, bowed slightly to pay respects to the emperor, and then turned to face the emperor, saying: "In the past, winter did not come so early. This year, the snow fell early in the north, but the southern regions have not entered yet. It’s cold winter, and the refugees outside the city are fleeing from floods, most of them are from the south. Now that the floods in the south have calmed down and the temperature is still warm, why doesn’t the imperial court send those refugees back to the south for resettlement?”

As soon as Ying Chenhao expressed his point of view, many ministers nodded, thinking that this plan is feasible.

Ying Chenhao continued: "The people are homeless and have nowhere to go, and they are eager to return home. This way, they don't need the court to arrange a place for them, buy cold clothes, and it can also show the kindness and wisdom of the Holy One. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

The emperor's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay! The wise king's proposal is good!"

The other ministers also began to discuss in a low voice, and they seemed to agree with the King Xian's idea.

Although sending people back to their hometowns for resettlement also requires some expenses, it is much better than arranging a large number of refugees for the winter.Besides, there are no refugees gathered outside the capital, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It will be easy to deal with them after they are far away from the royal range.

The emperor praised the virtuous king severely in public, and even rewarded him with some things, which meant to compare the regent who can only expose people's shortcomings.

"Back to court." Ying Chenkun stood up and strode away after saying these two words at last, feeling as if he was finally elated.

After the court was over, Xu Jiu didn't move when he left the house. He wanted to talk to Ying Yuan when everyone was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the Xian King had already approached the Regent one step ahead of him, and clasped his fists at him and said, "My nephew just came up with this strategy on a whim, and I didn't know if it was feasible, so I took it out to make a fool of myself. Uncle, don't take offense."

"Is it strange?" Ying Yuan stopped and looked at Ying Chenhao: "Why did the virtuous king say that?"

Ying Chenhao looked as if he was caught by his gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then he said with a dry smile: "Hahaha it's nothing... It's just that the emperor insisted on practicing in the palace to fulfill his filial piety, even though I'm not from the empress dowager , but the Empress Dowager is generous and kind to me, and I also take good care of me, this king feels that the emperor's brother did nothing wrong in the construction of the palace, and I hope that the emperor's uncle can understand."

Ying Yuan shook his head expressionlessly: "Although there is nothing wrong with building a temporary palace, but now that Daqing is empty of national power and natural disasters are everywhere, if His Majesty insists on carrying out such extravagant behavior and still doesn't persuade him, how will His Majesty convince the public in the long run? How should I explain it to the people?"

"This... Uncle Huang said yes, it's because my nephew thought too simply." Ying Chenhao apologized to him again.

Ying Yuan didn't know whether he looked down on everything or didn't appreciate it, his expression didn't change much from the beginning to the end, and he said in a very cold voice: "This king has something else to do, let's go first, if you have time, you should persuade the emperor more." .”

"Yes, nephew knows."

Ying Yuan strode away while saying that, but the Xian Wang, who was still humble just now, straightened up after he left, with a hint of disdain on his expression.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Xu Jiu saw this scene clearly.

He quickly backed up a few steps, without disturbing the other party or being noticed, he hurriedly circled half a circle and then ran away.

"What's the matter with this virtuous king?" In the past, Ying Chenhao's appearance rate was very high, but his sense of presence was always low. Others only knew that he was here, but they didn't pay much attention to him.

But the more such a person is, the more terrifying he is. It is a real skill to have the ability to make others not notice him.

[What makes you fat? 】888 was in a bit of a situation, didn't understand why the host asked this suddenly, and immediately called up Ying Chenhao's information: 【...Oh?Ya... oh! 】

"..." Xu Jiu: "Huh? Huh? What?"

[There are quite a lot of scenes about the virtuous king. ] 888 is completely in the tone of watching a drama, and said: [I dug up some information, the host wants to know more about it? 】

"...Come, come, come!"

In this world without any entertainment, what is more enjoyable than eating melons?

The material dug up in 888 is about the life experience of the virtuous king.

His mother and concubine were beauties presented to the late emperor by foreign races, and were extremely favored by the late emperor because of their beauty, which topped the capital of Kyoto.But since ancient times, beauty has been a disaster, and beauty is often a double-edged sword. It is also because the mother and concubine of the virtuous king are too beautiful, so there have been scandals of adultery with courtiers.

Of course, the scandal was framed. How dare that concubine, who is favored by the emperor, have an affair with other ministers?

But even though the matter was clarified in the end and the innocence was cleared, the suspicious late emperor still had doubts about the loyalty of his concubine, and her beauty was still a weapon for others to attack her, which implicated Ying Chenhao and was not treated very well by the late emperor until On the day of his mother's concubine's death, there were still a lot of pornographic stories about Concubine Cheng circulating in the palace and among the public.

This is undoubtedly a kind of humiliation for a prince.

Even if Concubine Cheng was posthumously named Concubine Cheng by the little emperor for the sake of the virtuous king, the false prosperity gained after death could not make up for the harm suffered by the deceased during his lifetime.

From this point of view, His Royal Highness King Xian is also pitiful.

But there is a part of the melon that 888 dug up that is related to Ying Yuan.

As the younger brother of the first emperor, Ying Yuan was very different in age from the first emperor, but only a few years younger than the young and beautiful imperial concubine.

Originally, the teenage children and the young emperor's wife might not have any royal gossip, but this child was the future regent, and the princess was unprecedentedly beautiful, so the former emperor passed away. In Ying Yuan's first few years as regent, there were still people talking about this matter.

It has been so long now, and the imperial concubine has passed away a long time ago, so no one has mentioned this matter.

It's just that this matter seems to be a knot for Ying Chenhao, and it has not been forgotten by him.

——Because of the beauty of his mother and concubine, he was rumored to have affairs with others one after another, but was rejected by the first emperor, and was directly excluded from the ranks of candidates for the emperor. It is normal for Ying Chenhao to feel troubled by this hurdle.

Xu Jiu didn't want to judge others' actions easily.

But he didn't expect that it only took one day. On the second day, the "the regent admired the concubine Cheng" and "the regent wanted to fight the injustice of the woman he loved deeply, so he didn't like the emperor's happiness for the queen mother." The news of going to the palace to pray for blessings spread throughout the capital, and it even became a topic of conversation among ordinary people overnight.

After all, if he hadn't admired the former concubine Cheng and couldn't forget her, why didn't the regent marry a wife when he was almost 30 years old?

This alone is evidence that the regent is infatuated with the concubine.

Common people are very blind, what they pursue is not the truth, but just an interesting topic of conversation and topic.

Because life is too hard.

Therefore, I will be full of yearning and curiosity for the luxurious and wealthy royal family.

Xu Jiu felt that if he didn't hold the information, but was an ordinary ancient person who was at the bottom of the society, he would also participate in this kind of gossip army, so there was nothing to criticize.

But people who can spread rumors about such things are definitely not good people.

It has been two days since the rumors started spreading, and there is no sign of stopping. Even if it involves the face of the royal family, no one has come out to refute the rumors.

Xu Jiu felt strange in his heart, but he didn't pay any more attention to this matter.

After all, the concubine passed away a long time ago, no matter how much the story of more than ten years ago spreads, it will not cause any real harm to the male lead, at most, his reputation will be smeared, and Ying Yuan probably won't care.

What made him more concerned was that the last time Yingyuan went to see him in the middle of the night turned out to be the last time the two of them got together and talked in private.

This is a little unsettling.

After all, in the previous world, he was so focused on the mission that he clinged to the male lead the whole time. He had never experienced such a cold war with the male lead.

I don't know if this inexplicably activated cold war mode will have any impact on the mission...

Xu Jiu sighed, he has never been the kind of person who can get into the horns of a dead end, and he hasn't gotten into it for so many years, but when he came to the male lead, he was still awkward!

Feelings are really scary, and he feels that he can't afford it.

He decided to go to Ying Yuan, and just stay by the hero's side and earn points comfortably as before, thinking about what the hero should do after he left is simply too full.

But before he went to Ying Yuan to take the initiative to truce, he was sent into the palace by the emperor.

These days I've been thinking about the male protagonist, and when I think about it carefully, it seems that the emperor hasn't asked him to play chess for a long time... Xu Jiu's thoughts are always on Ying Yuan, but he forgot about the emperor.

Thinking about it now, it seems that last time King Xian made a point of saying that the emperor was angry with him?

"I see the emperor." When Xu Jiu entered, the emperor was sitting behind his table drinking tea.

"Yun Xiao, you are here, come here."

"Yes."

Xu Jiu stepped forward according to his words, trying to make his attitude look respectful and humble.

It's just that he stood there for a long time, and the emperor drank tea for as long as he wanted, and didn't let him go or talk to him, which caused the people waiting beside him to feel agitated.

Xu Jiu tentatively asked: "I don't know why His Majesty suddenly called the minister over..."

"Yun Xiao." The emperor finally put down the cup of tea in his hand, looked at Xu Jiu and smiled: "I just remembered that I haven't called you over to play chess for a long time, you are good, I am not looking for you, and you don't know Come and find me."

As the emperor spoke, his voice was still full of grievances: "Don't you miss me?"

Xu Jiu: "..."

At this time, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Chen... Your Majesty takes care of everything, if you don't call me, I don't dare to disturb you."

"Really?" Ying Chenkun glanced at him dubiously, "I didn't often call you before, how do you know to run to my side every day, and come here to tell me about anything new? "

"..." Because it has been replaced!I'm really sorry about this, Your Majesty the Emperor.

Xu Jiu silently apologized in her heart.

"Come and sit." The emperor did not pursue this question, but moved to the side and let Xu Jiu sit next to him.

"..." The emperor asked him to sit, but he dared not sit down.

Xu Jiu could only sit next to the emperor.

Ying Chenkun patted his hand casually, which was the same as what he had done to the original owner in the past, but Xu Jiu felt goosebumps all over his body when Xu Jiu's little hand was touched unexpectedly.

Ying Chenkun said to him: "I don't know if you have heard about Uncle Huang."

"...What does the emperor mean?"

"Of course it's about the uncle and the concubine."

"..." Xu Jiu was silent.

I specially called him over and mentioned this matter to him. I don't understand what the little emperor is going to do?

At this time the emperor sighed: "I know that Yun Xiao is not interested in anything other than learning, and has never cared about this kind of palace affairs, so you don't know that my uncle is very normal."

Xu Jiu: "..."

"Uncle Huang has always been dissatisfied with Concubine Cheng's death, even the relationship with the Empress Dowager is not very good. It's also for this reason that he tried every means to stop me from practicing in the Palace."

"..."

"I called you here to tell you that you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. In the whole world, I am the only one who is kind to you. Do you understand?"

"..."

Xu Jiu listened to his nonsense.

Others don't know what the relationship between Ying Yuan and the late concubine is, but he, who owns the system, knows it all too well.

And he also understands Ying Yuan's personality, he can't be the kind of person who avenges private revenge.

So the emperor specially called him here because he wanted to speak ill of Ying Yuan to him?Thought he was still that stupid nerd who couldn't judge right from wrong?Is this approach too low...

But wait... His relationship with Ying Yuan... How did the Emperor know? !

Is it because of this that the emperor is angry with him? !

Ying Chenkun was still pressing him, asking him to answer if he understood, looking a little nervous.

Xu Jiu felt that his hand was getting tighter and tighter, and the little emperor's eyes were extremely serious, as if he would keep pursuing it if he didn't speak.

So he could only say: "I understand."

Ying Chenkun finally changed back to his amiable expression, and said: "In the future, Yun Xiao will still go to the palace to accompany me often, and I feel panicked when I don't see you."

……

No, the little emperor is a bit scary!

Xu Jiu continued to respond respectfully on the surface: "...Yes."

At this time, Ying Chenkun smiled at him again: "Then, have you missed me these days?"

Xu Jiu had no choice but to say, "I think about it, I think about it."

Ying Chenkun was satisfied now.

"My lord, you can't go in. There are people in your majesty's room..." At this moment, there was a noise and footsteps outside, Xu Jiu looked up, and saw the expressionless male lead striding in.

In almost a momentary conditioned reflex, Xu Jiu violently pulled out the hand that was firmly held down by the emperor.

But it also seems to be too late.

Ying Yuan furrowed his brows visibly to the naked eye, and the temperature in the room dropped by a few degrees in an instant: "My minister kowtowed to the emperor!"
