Neighbors with powerful ministers

When we get a wrong answer and firmly believe in counter-evidence, we often only run counter to the truth and go further and further away.He even brainwashed himself into believing that there were no other options other than this answer.

Xie Jie fell into such a state at this moment.

He assumed a proposition that "there is a princess of the Qi Kingdom who has loved his father for many years", and then his brain with a hole in his heart galloped away, and when he saw Fang Chaoci, he was in a state of being unable to pull back.

Zhan Huanran sat on the side drinking tea and eating snacks, looking at the sky and the earth, but he didn't look at the room and the court speech, and he had no intention of moving his ass at all.

Mr. Zhanlang's idea is simple and honest, let you beat me for a whole afternoon, and beheaded so many dragons of me, I'm mad at you!I won't go!

Fang Chaoci didn't feel angry at all, but the more he smiled, the more kind he was, and he asked him patiently, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious!" Zhan Huanran vividly portrayed a Laizi who ate, lived and played on swings at a friend's house, completely without the reserved and extravagant air of a son of aristocratic family when they first met.

I have to say that most people in this world have two faces. That doesn't mean that this person must be hypocritical or something, but everyone is like this.There will always be a slight difference in front of close people and in front of strangers, one kind of letting go of oneself, one kind of being polite and unfamiliar.On the contrary, it's hard to see someone like Xie Jie who is unlearned and incompetent like Xie Jie.

"Eat more if it tastes good, so that I can talk more about your daily life when I write back to your father."

Zhan Huanran took a mouthful of bean cake and choked on his throat, coughing so hard that he was out of breath, and sprayed the cake powder indiscriminately.No matter how much I press the tea, I feel that I can't press it down, as if something is still stuck in the esophagus.Just like this, he still doesn't forget howling: "You, you, you, why are you still in contact with my father?"

Xie Jie was originally sitting next to Zhan Huanran, but now he jumped behind Fang Chaoci in disgust, and he still yelled at Zhan Huanran, "Don't talk!"

How disgusting and disgusting it really is.

Zhan Huanran originally wanted to give Xie Jie a supercilious look, but when he saw Xie Jie's naturally beautiful face, he couldn't get over it no matter what. People who dislike it can be so beautiful.

Fang Chaoci instantly decided not to play with Zhan Huanran: "Liulang, see off the guests!"

Zhan Huanran didn't realize until he was taken back to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying. What Fang Chaoci said to him alone before was not a joke, he was serious this time.I always feel that I have discovered some terrible secret, will it be silenced?

Thinking about it, Mr. Zhanlang stuffed another bowl of tea into his mouth.

In the study over there, Xie Jie was still saying goodbye to Fang Chao: "You despise him too?"

"Yeah, I despise him too."

"That's really indecent." Xie Jie himself is not a clean freak, but he easily dislikes others. He won't force others to do anything, he will just walk away silently. It's okay to have double standards, and he also recognizes his double standards, so He resigned to Fang Chao confidently, "But you must not despise me."

"Why would I despise you?" Fang Chaoci once again regained the smile he would only show when he was with Xie Jie. It was truly comfortable and at ease, and every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.

"I, I won't dislike you either." Xie Jie swore from the bottom of his heart.

"So, what are you doing here with me?"

"By the way! My mother!" Xie Jie then remembered the "business" and hurriedly told Fang Chaoci about what happened to him when he received the gift today and his own guess about it, "What should I do? Tell me. People have been quiet for so many years, why did they pop up again suddenly? Isn’t this embarrassing my mother! My father has been in bliss for many years, why is he still recruiting young ladies like this? It’s a crime.”

After Mr. Fang heard Xie Jie's conclusion about his father's "fate to be a princess", he was left with indescribable admiration: "How can you be so sure that you are a princess?"

"The princess is not good either!" Xie Jie retorted seriously.

"...I mean, is it possible that you have mistaken the suspect, gender or something." Fang Chaoci really didn't know how to remind Xie Jie.But in the reality that your old mother may have a little wolf dog, he can't speak up.He was really afraid that after he finished speaking tonight, Xie Jie would already be on the big ship to Mizhou tomorrow morning.

"It's even worse for men! My God!" Xie Jie's brain was even more troubled.

The habit of breaking sleeves has existed since ancient times, and even Xie Jie has heard of all the brothers and sisters in the south of Daqi.

"My dad wouldn't like him! Steel! Iron! Straight! Just like me!"

Xie Jie and Tianshi obviously learned the term "Steel Straight Man". Even he didn't quite understand what it meant, so he started using it indiscriminately.

Having said all of this, Xie Jie still firmly believes that someone wants to be his stepmother, so what can Fang Chaoci say?I could only give Yan Wang a wax in my heart, and then raised my hand to give Xie Jie a compliment on the surface.

Let's let this beautiful misunderstanding go on for the time being, and wait for the Eldest Princess to come back.

Compared with his parents' troubles about love, what really troubled Xie Jie was the morning court the next day.Yes, in the early court, Xie Jie was also clearly ordered to attend.This day's court meeting is very lively, civil servants, military generals, honorable clans, one counts as one, and those who can make it to Jiangzuo alive are now crowded and waiting in the side hall, thinking about what big event must happen in the early morning court up.

Some knew what had happened, while others had darkened eyes and a dazed face.

The former are courtiers represented by Fang Chaoci. They go to court every day and care more about the direction of the court than their own sons, because the lack of news is tantamount to making fun of the lives of their own family.

The latter is the clan represented by Xie Jie. They may care about food and vegetables, and they may also care about the spiritual civilization construction of Goulan Washe, but they can never care about political affairs.When Xuanzhi's servants went door-to-door to notify last night, most of the clans were unbelievable "I'm afraid you are not a liar".If it weren't for the fact that no one dared to deceive the clan with the court these days, the servants might be kicked out.

But the dynasty is really about to go.

Then, it was the flustered look this morning. Those who were a little unfamiliar with the court were already well-behaved in the clan, and most of them were...

How do I go to morning?How to wear this court dress?Can I sneak a snack in my pocket?

It was not the first time Xie Jie went to court, but it was better than the first time to go to court.Sitting in the bullock cart with Fang Chaoci, when he was running on the quiet imperial street, he was drowsy and didn't know what day or night it was.Although he has gotten used to getting up early recently, it's not this early!Suddenly realized what a happy thing it was to start at five o'clock!

The four-watch drum on the Chaotianmen tower rang on time, and the Tutuo and Xingzhe in the temple were finally ready to go out with their fellows.

In the darkness that has not completely dissipated, red-covered palace lanterns illuminate the wide and wide Royal Street. Carriages and sedan chairs of different specifications and patterns, guarded by servants and guards in different clothes, walk from the fog Came in a hurry in the dew, and left in a hurry in the mist and dew, heading straight to the imperial city at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

Because of the heavy rain before, the officials of Daqi started to sit in sedan chairs with peace of mind instead of riding horses for humanitarian reasons.

The sedan chair was stable and comfortable, and soon replaced the horse as the main means of transportation for the courtiers to go to court. However, the sedan chair carried four times and eight times was too large, and with various attendants and other things, it took up ten percent of the space. It is impossible to have too fast feet, which directly leads to the strange scene that there may be no one when you come out of the house, but the closer you get to the imperial city, the more congested it is.

Xie Jie didn't expect it to be like this, and this morning was especially chaotic, because like Xie Jie, the clans who went to court for the first time all kept the tradition of riding in a horse-drawn cart or an ox cart.

"We won't be late, will we?" Xie Jie regretted staying up in bed in the morning, it doesn't matter if he is late, it would not be beautiful to get up early to wait for his Fang Chaoci.

"If I leave at this time, I will definitely be late. You will be different. Thank you, Prince, for picking me up." Fang Chaoci smiled confidently.

What's the matter?

Because although there is no such thing as a limit on the number of vehicles in Daqi, there is a distinction between junior officials who want to give way to senior officials.There is an alley almost every few dozen steps above the street. Experienced pathfinders can see the words on the red light coming from a distance, and they know the size of the other party and their own Alang's official rank, and they should retreat to the small lane. Lane gives way to the opponent or vice versa.One of the functions of these alleys is to facilitate small officials to give way to high officials.

Even if there are many more inexperienced clans today, it doesn't matter.Because the clans have high titles, no real power, but false titles, only others let them, and there is absolutely no reason for them to let others.

Not to mention Xie Jie, as soon as Xie's mansion's lantern was shot out, ghosts and gods would retreat.Looking at the crowds from a distance, they were able to go straight forward without braking, because before Xie Jie's car arrived, all the bearers had already given way, even including the clan carriages that had inquired about the rules in advance.It can be seen how prosperous the eldest princess of Zhenguo is.

And, yes, Xie Jie always lights her mother's lamp when he goes out, so he is not ashamed but proud.

If you are capable, you can also find a eldest princess as your mother!See if she recognizes you!

The imperial city is already in sight, and if you look up, you can see the 15-meter-high flagpole on the large square inside Jiahuimen, and a huge embroidered dragon flag fluttering in the wind.This represents a court meeting or celebration today.

Entering the imperial city, entering the palace gate, and crossing the water bridge, the main hall is a multi-purpose hall. The plaque in the main hall today is the most formal.

Before the court meeting officially started, the courtiers could go to the side hall to wait. Since there were too many people coming to the court today, several side halls were prepared, and the clan and ministers were separated without any surprise.

Xie Jie was wearing the scarlet court attire of Duke Lu, sitting bored in the family heap, surrounded by countless relatives with surnames, most of them wanted to inquire about the news with him, and some asked him to go out together for a long time. Not seeing Xie Jie, all friends and friends miss him a little.

Xie Jie has neither surname Wen nor senior status, and even after his father died for so many years, he still bears the nondescript title of prince, but at this time he will always be the first in the clan.

Because his mother is a rare person in power in the clan, or the kind who holds great power.

Daqi's clan is basically a group of people who have been raised and abandoned, because in the case of Taizu who taboos clan chaos, not making progress is a kind of making progress.Over time, the entire clan formed a vicious circle of doing nothing all day long and taking pride in dawdling around.

This is also why before Shenzong became the emperor, he could act like that with confidence, because everyone was like that.

"What's going on?" There was a son of the clan who thought he had committed a crime and would be rectified.

"I'm so sleepy, don't sleep, or I'd rather die!" There is also a magical existence who has never woken up early for more than [-] years.

"This tea is too bad to drink! How do you serve him?!" There is also a pampered uncle who doesn't like tribute tea or famous tea.

Anyway, it didn't look like going to court at all, it was like a group of rabbits having a meeting, exciting and fresh.

The author has something to say: When I was writing this chapter, I couldn’t help imagining the emoji pack 233333 of a group of rabbits surrounded by whispers

* On the way to court, there are "restricted numbers" to give way. This is true. There are many small alleys in the sky streets of the capital city of the Song Dynasty, which are prepared for the convenience of letting small officials give way to high officials.

*Because of a heavy rain, it is also true that the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty started to go to court in sedan chairs.
