over ten thousand people

On the morning of the second day, the atmosphere was weirder than ever.

The first reason is of course that Xie Jingyu has a gauze wrapped around his forehead, which is very conspicuous; the second reason is that there are rumors in the government and the public that Xie Jingyu was trained by me to leave the palace until midnight yesterday, and he is afraid that he will be demoted today.

You know, since I came to the throne, no one has enjoyed the treatment of being trained until midnight by me.Now that Xie Jingyu became the first one, I don't know how many people are waiting to see the good show, the whispers in the hall are as noisy as the West Market.

But they were doomed to be disappointed.Although my anger has not dissipated, I will not casually demote people without a legitimate reason.Everything was business as usual, and when the court was scattered, I could almost see an invisible gossip ear drooping in disappointment.

Among all the ministers, only Wang Ruojun's expression was particularly unpredictable.

But I know that when Wang Ruojun himself doesn't know, he uses this expression to fool his subordinates.Since he can't guess, then he will definitely slap me.

No, Wang Ruojun found an opportunity where it was just me and him by reporting on the progress of the preliminary preparations for the Luo Dam. "Your Majesty," he did not leave immediately after the report, but continued cautiously, "I still have something to report."

"Say."

"In the early court today, Prime Minister Xie's injury is not trivial. According to my humble opinion, it is better to let Prime Minister Xie rest in the mansion for a few days? If the news of Prime Minister Xie's injury in the court spreads, the minister is worried that the people will think that His Majesty treated the meritorious officials harshly."

See what this says.I didn't mention why Xie Jingyu hurt his forehead, nor did he mention that Xie Jingyu had only left the palace at the end of the day before dawn; his own selfish packaging was considered for my sake, and he was indeed an old fritter that had experienced three dynasties.

I just want to applaud his art of speaking. "What Aiqing said is very true. In a while, I will send someone to pass an oral order to let Xie Fengge recover from his injury." He can act, can't I?

Wang Ruojun was slightly taken aback.He probably still has something to say in the back, for example, if I don't agree with him, he can continue to ask why.But the road was blocked by me, he could only say: "Your Majesty is wise."

I have to clean up the mess Xie Jingyu made!

Unhappily, I made another note for him.

After June, the time sequence enters autumn.Before the weather cools down, Qixi Festival will arrive first.

It's not that I'm thinking about Qixi Festival.I'm not even interested in making a sacrifice to a cow girl in a colorful building.But He Shun Wang Yongzhi handed over the post, saying that the opportunity is rare, he has reserved the Xiaochun Building near Chunming Gate on Qixi Festival, and invited me to have fun with the people.

I took this post and read it twice, and I generally have a bottom line in my heart.

Although the father and emperor have been fighting abroad all year round, but the number of heirs is by no means small.In addition to the brothers I and the emperor, just the princes who have reached the weak crown, there are Yongzhi and Yongxian from Concubine Shu, Yonghuan and Yongti from Concubine Xian, and Yongmeng and Yongfu from the two Zhaorongs respectively. , and Yong Wujiu from the court lady.

Among them, Yong Ti is dead, and there are only six remaining.Yongzhi, Yonghuan, Yongmeng, and Yongfu were elders, and their father had given them marriage titles when they were still alive.The remaining two are Yong Wujiu and Yongxian, only one year older than me. When they were weak, they just caught up with the Xiongnu's invasion, and their marriage and enfeoffment were delayed.

Considering that Yongxian is Yongzhi's younger brother, and Yongzhi specially chose Qixi Festival, this treat must be an invitation for Yongxian.

When you are old, you should marry yourself, there is nothing to be picky about.As for the distribution of feudal titles, just get a royal title, then get a governor from another place, and finally get a mansion in the city, and the matter will be over.

The residence of the king is easy to talk about, the only thing I am not sure about is whether they have a candidate for the princess in their hearts, so I am going to the banquet to find out.

The name Xiaochunlou does not sound very outstanding, but it is actually the most famous orchid restaurant in Xingjing City.Whether it is the Huteng dance of the Sogdians, the Huxuan dance of the Jumi people, the wine of Gaochang, or the salamander of Persia; as long as you name it, Xiaochunlou can provide it.

Of course, the premise of enjoying the authentic exotic style is to have money.

As the king of Shun, Yongzhi was obviously not short of this little money.In order not to let the people who couldn't enter the Xiaochun Tower complain, he even booked two nearby restaurants and said that the money for the drinks would be charged to his account.

His father was always frugal, so it was obviously extravagant to do so, and if he didn't do it, he would be referred to by the imperial censor.Yongzhi himself knew this, he greeted me before I got out of the car, and immediately after saluting, he promised that today was special and just this one time.

"Special? How about a special method?" I asked as I walked into the restaurant, but I was thinking in my heart that Yong Zhi was afraid that he wanted to talk to me at the Ningyun Pavilion banquet last time, but that day did not catch up with the good time , I can only have another banquet today.

"I know that your majesty must think that the reason why I spend so much money today is for my younger brother."

I glanced at the other two who were following behind.In order not to fall into the shoes of others, Yong Zhi not only brought Yong Xian, but also Yong Wu Jiu.Speaking out means that he is asking for favors for his two younger brothers, and he can have a good name.

Seeing me looking back, Yongzhi couldn't help laughing: "Is your majesty thinking that it's just one subject turned into two subjects?"

"What?" Zhen raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled, "I thought today was also a family banquet, did you invite someone else to accompany you?"

Yong Zhi blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious. "That's true. Your Majesty must not have guessed it. As soon as I arrived at the Xiaochun Tower, I saw Prime Minister Xie wandering in the street. No, I forcefully dragged Prime Minister Xie in!" He said joyfully, not lacking in pride, "Who in Xingjing City doesn't know that it is more difficult to invite Mrs. Xie to a banquet than going to heaven, and I still have the honor of His Majesty today!"

Just when he said "Thank you", I had already seen Xie Jingyu waiting at the door of the building, and secretly cursed Yong Zhi in my heart to find trouble for me.Half of what I'm going to talk about today is about marriage, and if you don't even mention Xie Jing, you will be a fool!

"The minister said that if Prime Minister Xie did not respond to the invitation of the emperor, the East Street should be blocked today!" Yong Xian made a half-truth and half-fake joke.

"The two elder brothers are very right." Yong Wujiu followed suit.

Look, this is about to start... It's hard for me to suppress the urge to roll my eyes. "It's better to go in quickly, don't delay outside."

So several people took their seats.The singing, dancing, drinking and food have been prepared long ago, but after listening to the sound of stringed drums, the sleeves are lifted back to the snow, and the wind is fluttering.Most of the orchids have high noses and deep eyes, and their skin is whiter than snow. In addition, their dancing postures are soft and graceful, which is rare to see, so it is no wonder that they are popular in Xingjing.

I sit first and drink a glass of wine as usual.After everyone has finished drinking, Yong Zhi rises again.After drinking for three rounds, Yong Zhi took advantage of the situation and pointed out that Yong Xian and Yong Wu Jiu are both in their twenties, and it's time to start a family.

"King Shun's words are very reasonable." I took out the statement I had prepared a long time ago, "According to my Dazhou practice, all princes are crowned kings first, and then marry concubines. Although the father is no longer here, I will never marry you." I will treat you brothers badly, and I will not lose any points that I deserve."

Yong Xian and Yong Wujiu immediately knelt down and thanked each other.Both of them are very happy, especially Yong Wujiu - because of his birth, his name is different from that of the other brothers, his father actually doesn't like him; now I allow him to be the king, I'm afraid I want him to marry Zhong Wuyan He is willing.

"Get up, we are all brothers of our own family, so you don't need to be so polite." I continued, "I have asked Zongzheng Temple to prepare first. If the two elder brothers already have a sweetheart, you may as well tell me, and I will try my best to arrange it."

Yong Xian and Yong Wujiu responded in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, I will follow His Majesty's wishes."

This look is also ready, I am quite satisfied.The emperor is afraid that his courtiers will collude with cronies, and the courtiers are afraid that the emperor will be jealous; on the surface, they all follow the etiquette, and then measure the relationship with relatives, and everyone just tacitly agrees.

"In order to thank Your Majesty for your kindness to my younger brother, I would like to offer you another cup." Yongzhi took it up, drank his own cup first, and said, "Your Majesty, in this way, there will be only five people at the banquet today. Your Majesty, you and Prime Minister Xie have no news."

I subconsciously glanced at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu happened to look over.This was the first time I saw him after he returned home to recuperate. At this moment, our eyes met each other, and I felt a little embarrassed.

Yongzhi didn't pay attention, but still said to himself: "Your Majesty has been quite decisive since he was a child, and he has planned strategies after he ascended the throne. He must have made plans. It is inconvenient for me to ask. But I really want to say thank you——I and In the same year of Xie, he already has one son and two daughters; Prime Minister Xie has worked so hard over the years, and His Majesty is also considerate of the marriage, so why did Prime Minister Xie insist on rejecting it?"

I should have been happy if you helped me both in and out of words.However, Yongzhi thought that Xie Jingyu's reluctance to start a family was due to Nanfeng's goodness, but he didn't know that the real reason was that Xie Jingyu's goodness was me.

At this time, it is natural to pretend to be dumb, I deliberately slowed down and drank the wine that Yong Zhijing had just given.On the surface it is going back to the mansion to recuperate, but in fact it can be regarded as facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes; I would like to know how Xie Jingyu is thinking about his mistakes.

"It is indeed a great honor for your Majesty to be willing to grant marriage to your minister." Xie Jingyu said seriously, "However, as a minister, the top priority is to solve your majesty's worries and problems, and help your majesty become an eternal sage." He paused, his voice changed suddenly Low, "If this is the reason, I would rather be alone for life."

...would you rather die alone than marry?

This was so decisive that the three of Yong Zhi were stunned.

Only I know that Xie Jingyu's words are entirely for me.I warned him that if he overstepped the rules, he would be the Lingnan Jiedu envoy, but his reply was that I must, even if he could only stay by my side as a subject.
