Neighbors with powerful ministers

"Because I like you."

Xie Jie woke up from his dream here.

Xie Jie lifted the quilt, sat up suddenly, looked at the sky outside the paper window, it was so dark that it should not be bright yet, the whole Jiangzuo city was still sleeping, but Xie Jie's heart had already woken up, and Unable to calm down for a long time, it brought a hot and fiery feeling, rushing into his brain, crowded to the point of exploding.

Waiting for the female envoys to file in, Xie Jie could only suppress his restless heart, rubbed his eyes and got off the bed, stood up, and let Yingniang start to put on him a court dress with a scarlet round collar.After grooming and dressing up, Xie Jie put on a black black gauze long-winged hat before going out after drinking porridge to rest his stomach. It was really inconvenient to wear this thing.

Xie Jie turned around abruptly, and Xie Xiaosan, who was following behind him, squatted up quickly with the agility that his big and round figure should not have, avoiding the "attack" of the long-winged hat.

"I forgot again." Xie Jie smiled, a little embarrassed, "Has Chao Ci come out yet?"

"I'm already waiting for you outside." Xie Xiaosan guessed that Xie Jie wanted to ask Fang Shaoqing next door, and the two of them were really too clingy.And there is a tendency to get stickier.

"Oh." Xie Jie dawdled a bit, not because he dreamed that Fang Chaoci said "I like you" to him, but because Fang Chaoci really said that last night, which made him unable to let go.

It happened that the carriage had arrived at Xie's mansion at that time, Xie Jie didn't know how to answer, or what reaction to give, he could only subconsciously panicked, crawled down with hands and feet, trotted, and never looked back.

Xie Jie couldn't tell why he ran away, he only knew that when he returned to the house, his cheeks were terribly red.

Yingniang thought it was the weather outside that was starting to cool down, so this morning she specially added an extra layer of close-fitting vest to Xie Jie's court clothes, and a big cloak wrapped with a fur collar.If it wasn't for Xie Jie's stop, it is estimated that even the hand muffler would have to be equipped. It is obvious that Xie Jie is not going to let Xie Jie spend a season with everyone.

"You just recovered from a serious illness, can you be like everyone else? Who can be more precious than you?" Yingniang said from the bottom of her heart.

Xie Jie silently calculated how long he had been "beginning" after recovering from a serious illness, and he didn't figure it out later, because the gate had already arrived, and Fang Chaoci was standing with a smile under a red lantern, defying the wind, frost and rain Snow waited for him.

Just as Xie Jie hoped when he was a child, there is someone only for him, only him, and only thinks about him.

Xie Jie felt that at that moment, he suddenly understood why Fang Chaoci's heart was beating wildly after Fang Chaoci said "I like him" last night. He ran towards Fang Chaoci, and he was within a few steps In front of her eyes, she hugged the tall and tall man in her arms.Uh, or being hugged by the other party.

"I like you too--"

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Xie Jie announced loudly:

"—We want to be good friends for life!"

How should I put it, Fang Chaoci's flawless smiling face cracked at that moment.When Xie Jie had buried his head enough and wanted to raise his head to see Fang Chaoci's reaction, Fang Chaoci pushed Xie Jie back into his arms again, hugging the ball of fur collar tightly.

his!

Even if your brain is bad,

It's his too!

At the court meeting that day, the king of Thailand, who had been sick for many days, was finally supported by two juniors to the court.But the presence of the King of Thailand is not unexpected, because this court meeting is just like the previous one, neat and tidy, with a lot of people.It seems that everyone is prepared, and today is the day when this protracted dispute ends.

Mr. Tai Wang was the first to build the ladder, and he said tremblingly that he had a dream yesterday. In the dream, there were Taizu, Taizong, Emperor Ren and Emperor Wen. It was like a meeting of officials.

What the old man said was vague and upside down, making people unable to understand. He finally decided to stand in line, or he was really old and confused and thought he was dreaming of his ancestors.But Sun Shenzheng is a person who is very good at making use of the topic, and directly interprets the dream of the King of Thailand as a hint from the previous kings that the trip to Mount Tai is bound to happen.

This time, there were only sporadic voices of opposition.

The feudal superstition practiced by old Duke Shao in Hegu Garden seemed to be very successful. Although it was impossible for the officials of the Shao faction to change their face and say they agreed, not objecting would already represent tacit consent.Sun Shenzheng was also afraid of angering the other party again, which would cause things that were about to happen to fail, so he was very polite, and he didn't mention all the previous things, and only talked about today's facts.

In the harmonious atmosphere of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone", the princess of Zhenguo accidentally won Mizhou as the base, and the matter of Shenzong Taishan enshrining Zen was finally established.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There is almost no objection to the drafting of the accompanying list, Shenzong, the little prince, the little princess, and Empress Dowager Nie.

The courtiers originally thought that Shenzong would bring Empress Su, and they were planning to fight over this matter. There is a precedent of Emperor Wu, and no matter what, this court cannot let another empress offered by Adam.

In the end, Shenzong didn't have the slightest intention to bring his wife Su Daya along.

Of course, the empress didn't plan to go, she just told Shenzong to check in private when the goods in the merchant ship under her name were still there when she went to the Shipping Department of Banqiao Town.Yes, Empress Su is really serious about doing business. There are traces of her meddling both domestically and overseas. Recently, she is planning to take Xie Jie to participate.

It seems that the official family and the queen are really at odds, everyone thought so.

The ups and downs of a false alarm made them pay little attention to the matter of the little prince, his sisters, and his biological mother. When Shenzong offered it, Empress Dowager Nie held Emperor Wen's son as Yaxian. There was nothing wrong with it.

Guided by Fang Chaoci's ingenious question, the focus of the group of officials is instead, who will oversee the country when Shenzong is gone?

Generally speaking, when the emperor is absent, the person to supervise the country is the prince, or the princes, or even the emperor's brother.But these... Shenzong didn't have any of them.A single seedling in a thousand hectares of land, patriarchy kills people.

Everyone looked at a group of wandering clans, these people can be pulled down, none of them are successful.

Shenzong had already thought about it, and made a decision against all opinions: "The clan will discuss and decide."

Before the courtiers could object, the clan's team had already sent a protest:

"What? Wake up early?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand, I don't understand what you are talking about at all."

"Please let me go, uncle, you can't make it difficult for everyone just because you suffer."

"Yes, yes, my grandfather is eighty years old, and he still has to work hard! Isn't this killing him?"

"I! No! Do!"

Even Xie Jie, who was sitting, expressed his protest, just like a rascal who doesn't want to go to school or work.

"If you don't do it, you have to do it! You are no longer a child!" Shenzong rarely showed his strong side, but after he finished speaking, he felt that his tone was too harsh, so he added, "Everything in the world is left to you." The government*, without you actually doing anything,"

What Shenzong said was to Xie Jie, but it was actually implying that Shao Zaizhi and others, the clan supervising the country and Shenzong facing the court, had the same result--major government decisions were still made by Zaizhi and others, but they It's just changing the person who made the final report from Shenzong to a small circle dominated by the clan.

The officials completely lost their opinions, but the clan's side was gloomy.

The worried Xie Jie forgot to participate in Zhang Du's affairs.

Until Xia Chao came out early, Fang Chaoci walked out with Xie Jie, while bowing his head and comforting him: "The imperial clan supervising the country is a good thing for you, and it can be used to deal with the people you want to deal with."

Zhan Huanran walked behind them with a cousin of the clan, and always felt that he saw a wolf disguised as a dog, with its head lowered, as if it was really bowing its head and ears, but in fact it was waiting for an opportunity to catch it away. I don’t know anything about it little white rabbit.Seeing through but not being able to tell, Zhan Huanran suddenly felt that his heart that hadn't grown up had grown old in just a few days.

"How to say?" Xie Jie stopped and looked up at Fang Chaoci, but he hadn't realized the meaning of Fang Chaoci's words.

"You write a note yourself, and approve it yourself." Fang Chaoci also stopped, raised his hand and crushed Xie Jie's earlobe, it was so soft that he couldn't put it down. He likes to do all kinds of intimacy that are stuck in the limit range recently. Things.He didn't understand why he was in a hurry, obviously he had never felt such a sense of urgency before.This feeling is so fresh, wonderful and exciting.

"That's right!" Xie Jie clapped his hands together and praised, Mao Sai suddenly realized, feeling that the whole world brightened up in an instant.

Fang Chaoci felt that his eyes were also filled with light, making it impossible to move.

The two finally left the palace gate, Fang Chaoci was not in a hurry to go to Taifu Temple, but took Xie Jie all the way to a shop called Lilac Wonton over Liubu Bridge.The fragrance is lingering, the soup is delicious and the meat is delicious. When waiting in line, Xie Jie is already hungry.

This time, Xie Jie's method of giving money to jump in the queue will not work.

Because at a glance, half of the shop was filled with officials who had just come out of the palace in scarlet court attire.Liubu Bridge is in the transition zone between the palace and various government offices. Anyone who can come here to eat is either from the palace or the mansion, and no one needs the money.On the contrary, jumping in line to give money is easy to be misunderstood as looking down on the other party.

There are still many shops similar to clove wontons around here. Daqi is such a dynasty that is close to the people, and business can be done under the roots of the imperial city.As long as you don't come out to get in the way when you go to court in the morning, and block the way of any adult rushing into the palace, you will definitely not be troubled by anyone.

Even the courtiers love each other and plant grass and weeds, such as this clove wonton, which is famous because of word of mouth.It is said that even Shenzong specially ordered someone to buy it.

The prices here are also higher than those outside. The southernmost Paradise Street from Hening Gate to Chaotian Gate is simply a luxury street.I don’t know if the item is good or not, but the price can be guaranteed, and it is definitely the most expensive in Daqi.

Xie Jie had no concept of money. He believed it when he heard that fresh eggplants cost more than ten pennies. He also said to Fang Chaoci: "Look at how nice I am to you? The rent is not enough for my family to buy one A catty of eggplant."

Fang Chaoci also praised and praised: "Yes, thank you for your kindness."

Sitting at the square table in the store, Xiao Shizi tried his best not to look too proud.But the little chest was straight, and the little eyes were floating, those who didn't know thought he saved the whole world.

The author has something to say: *Government: This is neither a foreign word nor a modern word. It has been used in the Song Dynasty to refer to the leadership group organized by Zaizhi and participating in politics to handle government affairs.Just like the word "China", it has a different meaning from modern times, but the ancients really knew how to use it.There is no peacekeeping or non-peacekeeping, above.

*Lilac wonton is also a real store in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is very popular with officials, but it is also really expensive.
