Chapter 44 Taking office

The next day, Zhao Jing was served by Wang Lu, put on a vermilion court dress, rode a big horse, passed through the imperial city, entered the main hall, and stood behind Zhao Chong. Zhao Chong looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Congratulations, fourth brother."

"Thanks to the love of my father, I can have what I am today, standing in the court hall and talking to my fifth brother," Zhao Jing said. He secretly looked back and saw Shu Zilan dressed in purple, with a face as white as fat, and lips as soft as silk. Danzhu, standing erect among a group of people, stands out like a flock of chickens, with outstanding demeanor.Seeing Zhao Jing's gaze, he smiled and nodded.

Zhao Jing turned his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhao Chong looked at the two people looking at each other jealously, he carefully concealed his jealousy, and said with a smile, "Rong Qing is worthy of being the number one prince in the capital. Human can reach"

"Rong Qing's ability completely conceals his appearance, he is the youngest number one scholar in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty," Zhao Jing said.

"Yeah, back then, when he was 14 years old, he came to see me as the number one scholar in high school. I held a banquet in the biggest restaurant in Beijing to celebrate him." Zhao Chong said with a smile, as if recalling the old days.

"The past cannot be pursued, the past is the past, we still have to cherish the present," said Zhao Jing.

"Even if the past cannot be traced back, he still recalls the past from time to time, and occasionally brings it out to reminisce," said Zhao Chongdao.

Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Chongdao, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has already given birth to a son for Fifth Brother, and I heard that she is pregnant again, Fifth Brother is very capable."

"Sixth brother is not married yet, there are countless ladies in the capital, I ask mother and concubine to pay attention to you," Zhao Chongdao.

"Fifth Brother won't worry about my marriage," Zhao Jing refused.

"As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest thing is to have no descendants, you have to hurry up," Zhao Chongdao.

Zhao Jing heard the words, but smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Chong felt bored.

The eunuch, the chief of ceremonies, shouted, "The emperor is here!"

Emperor Jing glanced majestically at the lower courtiers, sat on the dragon chair, and said, "Recently, the Rouran tribe sent envoys to request the release of Prince Moge, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Moge has killed countless people of the Great Wei, and the humble official thinks that by killing him, he will scare Rouran and show our country's prestige," a minister came out and said.

"My minister thinks that we, Wei, are a great country and a civilized state. Letting Moge go shows the demeanor of a great country," said a minister.

Emperor Jing looked at Zhao Jing and said, "What does Jing'er think?"

"Father, I think it's better to let Moge go," Zhao Jing said.

"Oh, how do you say it?" Emperor Jing asked with interest.

"My son once fought against Moge, and also fought against Yeqi. Moge was rough and irritable, Yeqi was ambitious, and the city was extremely deep, but Moge was born of the princess and had great influence in Rouran, and Yeqi Qi's mother and concubine are the daughters of a tribal leader, and the two are the best candidates for Rouran Khan in the future. If Moge succeeds, I will be worry-free, but if Yeqi succeeds, within ten years, Rouran will die. Under his leadership, he will grow stronger and become the enemy of Wei. My son thinks that if we kill Moge, we will undoubtedly clear the roadblocks for Yeqi and help him ascend to the throne of Great Khan," Zhao Jing said. .

"Okay, what Jing'er said is right, let Moge go," Emperor Jing said.

The morning was over, Zhao Jing went out and waited not far away, Shu Zilan was surrounded by a group of people, he saw Zhao Jing, hurried over, the two left together, stopped at a corner, Shu Zilan looked Zhao Jing said, "The class room of the Imperial Academy is on the west side, and the class room of the Ministry of War is on the east side."

"I know" Zhao Jing stared at Shu Zilan obsessively, he hadn't seen him all night, his thoughts were already flooding.

"Go," Shu Zilan said.

"I'll watch you go," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan laughed, "Neither of us can leave"

"You go, I'll watch you," Zhao Jing said softly.

"Okay, then I'll go." Shu Zilan said, the two continued to think about it, but neither of them could leave, so he turned and left.

Zhao Jing watched Shu Zilan leave and went to the Ministry of War.

When Zhao Jing walked to the Ministry of War, all the people looked at Zhao Jing and saluted one after another. Zhao Jing returned the salute one by one. people.

"Two servants, please come up," Zhao Jing said.

Immediately two people came up, a tall, thin man with a beard and a fat man bowed and said

"Xiao Yu, the lower official," said the tall and thin man.

"Xiaguan Su Pengcheng" said the fat man.

Zhao Jing looked at the fat man, thinking in his heart, he remembered that Concubine Li's surname was Su, what is the relationship between this man and Zhao Chong?

"Bring me the archives over the years and let me have a look," Zhao Jing said.

"Yes, I don't know what year His Highness wants it?" Xiao Yu said.

"Give me all the files from three years ago," Zhao Jing said.

"Yes" Xiao Yu said, turned and left to look for something.

"You all go down, let's do your own business." Zhao Jing looked at the crowd and said, the crowd dispersed one after another.

Zhao Jing was sitting in his room, and after a while Xiao Yu came in, followed by a dozen people, each holding scrolls as high as hills in their hands, holding them with difficulty,

"That's all," Xiao Yu said.

"Okay, step back," Zhao Jing said.

Xiao Yu bowed and led the crowd back, Zhao Jing plunged into the scroll, not knowing the passage of time.

"Your Highness, you can go back." Su Pengcheng walked in and said.

"It's time?" Zhao Jing raised his head from the scroll and asked.

"It's been two hours. It's just that everyone was fascinated by His Highness and didn't dare to come in to disturb them. The subordinate couldn't bear to see them hungry, so he came in rashly and said, Don't blame Your Highness," Su Pengcheng said.

"Let's all go." Zhao Jing stood up and stretched his stiff body.

"This..." Su Pengcheng looked at Zhao Jing,

Zhao Jing looked at Su Pengcheng, he understood what Su Pengcheng meant, he was on the first day of office, and he didn't know the people around him well, if he didn't leave, no one would dare to leave.

He got up and went out, the sun had already set, Zhao Jing walked out of the city gate, Wang Lu took the horse, and stood waiting at the gate of the city, Zhao Jing pulled the rein, got on the horse, and said, "You go back."

"Your Highness, Mr. Li has something to ask for you," Wang Lu said while looking at Zhao Jing.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Slaves don't know," Wang Lu said.

Zhao Jing was extremely unwilling, he wanted to go to Shu Zilan, but he also knew that he couldn't do this, so he turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, let's go back"

Zhao Jing went back to the mansion, saw Li Rumei waiting for him under the steps, saw him come back and said "His Royal Highness is back"

Zhao Jing handed the reins to Wang Lu, looked at Li Ru and asked, "What's the matter?"

The two walked into the secret room, and Li Ru said with eyebrows, "The secret agent in the palace has news that the Crown Princess has it."

"Yes?" Zhao Jing looked at Li Ru and asked with eyebrows.

Li Rumei nodded, "Everyone thought the princess' first child was a boy, but after giving birth, it turned out to be a girl. The prince was very disappointed. He hung out with that male favorite every day and didn't enter the princess's door for three months. The queen heard that , put pressure on the crown prince, let the crown princess conceive as soon as possible, give birth to a prince, and stabilize her position. The crown prince is unwilling, but he can't hold back the queen. She has sex with the crown princess. There has been no news for several months. Some time ago, a secret letter came from the spies of the Eastern Palace The Crown Princess didn't have her menstrual event this month, and she doesn't like being greasy, so she probably has it."

"Where's that male favorite?" Zhao Jing looked at Li Ru and asked with eyebrows.

"The prince likes him very much," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"Does the princess know?" Zhao Jing looked at Li Ru and asked.

"The crown prince hides it very deeply, and only a few people around him know about it," Li Ru said with eyebrows.

"Reveal to the crown princess about the prince's private possession of male pets," Zhao Jing said.

"Where's the address?" Li Rumei looked at Zhao Jing and said.

"Talking too much will make people suspicious, let her find it herself," Zhao Jing said.

"Yes" Li Ru said with an eyebrow.

"Go down," Zhao Jing said.

Li Rumei looked at Zhao Jing hesitantly, and Zhao Jing looked at Li Rumei puzzledly and said, "What do you want to say, sir?"

"Your Highness came back from the border, and he is not at the house every day. I don't know where His Highness is resting?" Li Ru asked with eyebrows.

Zhao Jing understood what Li Rumei meant, he cared about himself, but he didn't want to say it clearly, in such a roundabout way.

"I had a good conversation with a friend, so I'm staying with him," Zhao Jing said.

"Really?" Li Rumei looked at Zhao Jing and said.

Zhao Jing nodded.

Li Rumei stopped talking, turned around and walked out, since Zhao Jing didn't want to talk, he didn't ask, one day Zhao Jing would tell him.

The night was getting dark, Zhao Jing rode his horse and walked out slowly, he hesitated in his heart, wondering if Shu Zilan had fallen asleep at this time, if he fell asleep, what should he do?Zhao Jing hesitated, but then thought, even if Shu Zilan was asleep, he would be content with taking a look from a distance. He beat the horse quickly, and the sound of the horse's hooves echoed in the empty street.

He galloped all the way to Huanhua Courtyard and saw Shu Zilan's room was brightly lit. Zhao Jing was overjoyed. A candle illuminates the whole room, and also illuminates Shu Zilan's joyful expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and laughed uncontrollably.

"It's so late, why don't you sleep?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, and walked to his side step by step.

"Can't sleep," Shu Zilan said.

"Miss me?" Zhao Jing's voice rang in Shu Zilan's ears. Shu Zilan turned her head to look at Zhao Jing, facing each other, breathing intertwinedly. Zhao Jing kissed Shu Zilan. Arms around Shu Zilan's waist, leaning forward, Shu Zilan's body suddenly couldn't support, the two fell on the bed, Zhao Jing lay on Shu Zilan's body, looking at him affectionately.

"Go back?" Shu Zilan asked softly.

"Um"

"Then why are you still here?"

"I miss you, want to see you"

"Late at night"

"fine"

"How is today?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and asked.

"Looking at the scroll for a day, my head is big"

"hehe,,,,,,,"

"What about you?"

"Although I have been staying in Prince Yu's Mansion, I know all these people, so there is no difficulty."

"The princess is pregnant"

"Really? So fast"

"Prince feels slow"

"That's right, if the crown princess can give birth to a boy, the crown prince's position will be more stable. Now that he has been reprimanded by the emperor several times, he is naturally anxious," Shu Zilan said disapprovingly.

"I'm going back?" Zhao Jing looked at the hourglass beside the bed, the time was passing by bit by bit, showing that the time was already very late.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing reluctantly.

Zhao Jing let go of Shu Zilan, kissed his forehead, and said softly, "Go to bed early"

Shu Zilan was about to get up, but Zhao Jing pressed him and said, "Don't get up, I'm leaving." Zhao Jing said, turned around and opened the door to go out, Shu Zilan stared blankly at Zhao Jing disappearing into the night, got up and blew out the candles, opened his eyes The eyes were all Zhao Jing, turned around, the bed seemed to be filled with the smell of Zhao Jing, and Shu Zilan fell into a deep sleep.
