Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

Is the prime minister going to take a look?

The questioning words reached his ears, and Su Yanzhao closed his eyes in silence.

A lot comes to mind in just a moment.

The few encounters in Tianlu Pavilion when they were young, the anger of Xie Min who lost the battle for the reserve position, the tragic massacre outside Jinling City, and... the palace change not long ago.

For the people of Jinling, Xie Xuan was the chief culprit in the bloodshed in Jinling City in the first year of Taiping, but he failed to cause any substantial harm to him personally.

The position is different.

He didn't even know where Xie Xuan's inexplicable love came from, he only knew that he never liked this way.

For a person like Su Yanzhao, it is only suitable to soak in warm water for a long time, and then have a hearty confession.

If you can guarantee that you can survive after confessing.

It took a long time before Rong Yan heard a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

"No need."

Such a big event happened in the first autumn hunt after ascension to the throne. Xie Qi himself was seriously injured. Many ministers who accompanied him proposed to return to Beijing early, but they were all rejected one by one.

It is rumored that someone took Su Yanzhao's hand, and repeatedly said that his first autumn hunting must start well and end well and not be anticlimactic. He only got on the horse before pulling the bow to prove that the wound on his chest was not serious, so he got the nod from Prime Minister Su. .

Therefore, the arrangement for this autumn hunting has not been reduced at all. On the contrary, the end time has been delayed a lot due to the delay of a few days in the middle.

When Yujia returned to Beijing and settled down again, it was already the end of September, and Jinling, which was originally scorching hot, had cooled down slightly.

The triennial imperial examination is coming again.

Xie Qile, who was crowned with less than half a year left, had to be the hands-off shopkeeper again, and the scope of responsibility was delineated early. He only had to provide the questions of the palace examination and go to the Xuanzheng Palace to show off on the day of the palace examination, and ignored everything.

Su Yanzhao was much more busy.

Although the main examiner of the imperial examination is Cao Shengxiang, the new Minister of Rites, it doesn't mean that he can relax as the right prime minister in charge of military affairs.

For ten days in a row, Su Yanzhao buried his head in the desk of the Lizheng Hall, and rarely visited the prime minister's mansion, let alone went to Yong'an Palace to get along with Xie Qi when he was not dealing with business.

When the preparations for the examination were almost complete, and Su Yanzhao finally had time to go back to his residence to rest and take a bath, the hopeless people finally had a chance.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince?" Su Yanzhao looked at the little boy who appeared in his study in surprise, and called softly.

Hearing the words, the villain turned his head to see him, and ran over in a hurry, regardless of his growing stature, he stretched out his hand to hug him.

The two brothers are quite alike.

Whether it's appearance, personality... or actions.

Su Yanzhao looked around and saw no shadows of Xie Qi and Su Yuan, so he half-bent down and took Xie Huan's hand, and led him to a chair in front of the desk, seeing the little boy climbed up nimbly.

"Why did your highness come to my mansion alone, where are your majesty and Yuan'er?" Waved his hand to signal Rong Yan to go out to prepare pastries, and asked gently to Xie Yi who was looking at him obediently.

Xie Yu sat up straight, blinked and said, "This morning, the emperor said that the prime minister would return to the mansion today, so he took me and A Yuan to Tianlu Pavilion and waited at the prime minister's mansion. Later, A Yuan said that he would go back to the mansion Seeing my father and grandmother, the emperor followed me and said that I would stay here to inform the prime minister."

Ah Yuan?

Su Yanzhao felt a little helpless in his heart, but he still rubbed Xie Yi's head, and he was concerned about another question; "Why did you change your name to Prime Minister, His Majesty taught you?"

In the past, Xie Yu learned from Princess Duanrou. When he saw him, he rushed up to call Brother Yanzhao. He couldn't get back after correcting him many times, so he simply let him go.

If it wasn't for Xie Qi, according to Xie Yu's pampered temperament since childhood, who could help him change this?

Xie Yu shook his head, and said in a down-to-earth way; "Brother Huang, don't care about this. It was A Yuan who heard that I called the prime minister's brother, saying that I was inferior to him;" Xiaotong spread his hands as he spoke, with a helpless look on his face; " I changed it."

While talking, Rong Yan came in with two stacks of exquisite pastries, smiled at Xie Yi, put the pastries on the small table by Xie Yuan's hand, then turned to Su Yanzhao and said, "Prime Minister, scholar Su Yizhi ask to see."

Su Yanzhao stared at Xie Yu for a moment, sipping snacks, and then looked at Rong Yan with a little tiredness.

"Who is Su Yizhi?"

The gate of the prime minister's mansion is not something you can enter if you want, let alone inform Ling Zeju.

But it was a name he had never heard of.

"The collateral line of the family, the old man's cousin, belongs to the five clothes."

The emperor has poor relatives, and the Su family is no exception.

According to the rules of the Qi Dynasty, for all titles, from princes and princesses down to thousands of sons and daughters, only one heir is allowed to choose to inherit, and the rest are no different from other people except for a distinguished relative. .

All the eldest sons are occupied, and the Duke of Dingguo passed to Su Yanzhao's father. His younger brother, Su Yizhi's father, was only jealous. Later, he used the pretext of dividing the family to take away a large amount of gold and silver, but squandered it in four or five years. clean up.

Later, because of the lack of Huayong, he did a lot of disgusting things, which almost made the Su family famous in the whole Jinling. The old Duke Ding was furious, and rushed to the house after the separation and made a big fuss. Family contacts have since been discontinued.

Speaking of it, this relative is not far away.

Su Yanzhao raised his eyebrows, he had already guessed the purpose of the visitor, but he didn't refuse, and said, "Let him in."

Xie Hu was eating snacks, watching curiously as the door curtain was raised, and a man in a blue-gray cloth robe came in.

The man was only 22 or [-] years old, he looked extremely young, with a thin figure, his face was somewhat similar to Su Yanzhao, his brows and eyes were full of flair.

The appearance and manners are not bad, but this outfit is really shabby.

"I've seen the eldest brother." After waiting for a long time, Zeju came in, not daring to look at him, Su Yizhi made a long bow and said loudly.

There's nothing wrong with the name... well.

Su Yanzhao smiled and didn't respond, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair beside Xie Huan; "Please take a seat."

Su Yizhi carefully sat beside a certain little prince who was eating snacks.

Seeing that Su Yanzhao said that short sentence, he took a cup of tea and drank it without saying a word. He didn't want to appear too direct, so he simply found a topic to talk about.

The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy to enter, who else can sit here and eat snacks in a big way, besides Su Yuan, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo?

"Is this the son of Duke Dingguo? He really has an outstanding appearance, and he can tell he is from a famous family at a glance."

Xie Yu stopped chewing and took a look at Su Yi.

Although he was young, he was raised in the palace since he was a child, and was served by a large number of servants. This glance naturally brought a bit of scrutiny from top to bottom. Su Yi's back felt cold when he saw it, and he quickly looked away.

Surprised that he was intimidated by a child, Su Yi felt ashamed, but also felt a little bit of resentment.

Su Yanlian's sons all looked down on him like this.

If it was my father who took over the title back then, what would it be like now?

Dingguo's mansion has changed hands, and the little boy in front of him may not be able to live such a comfortable and comfortable life.

He thought about it and couldn't help being dazed, until Su Yanzhao noticed the interaction between the two of them, and changed the subject with a light cough.

"I heard that my uncle moved his whole family to Lin'an. It was very hard for Yizhi to come all the way. If there is any inconvenience in Beijing, you can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me or go to the Duke's Mansion to find my second brother, it doesn't matter."

Hearing the voice, Su Yizhi finally shifted his focus back and listened carefully.

Su Yanzhao said a few more polite words, seeing that the person sitting next to Xie Yi hadn't said anything about his visit, guessing that Xie Qi was coming from the Duke's mansion soon, he raised his hand to signal for Rong Yan to see off the guest.

The test is coming soon, and it's not him who is in a hurry.

Su Yizhi finally panicked.

Ignoring the issue of who would inherit the title, he moved forward impatiently, and said, "This year, the number of participants in the imperial examination is large, but the number of tributes obtained remains the same. There are many discussions among those who went to the examination. Brother Yu is also very worried. Elder brother, if you have spare time, can you help me?"

"But I'm not the chief examiner for this year's exam. I'm afraid I can't reach what Yi asked for." Su Yanzhao said in a neutral manner, curling the corners of his lips.

He had only read the questions for this year's exam earlier, but he hadn't read them, and it was not difficult to tell the chief examiner Cao Shengxiang that he wanted to get a place for a tribute.

Originally, in the generation of the Su family, he had already started to think about quitting, and in the younger generation, Su Yuan hadn't grown up yet, so it would be a good idea to cultivate Su Yizhi to come out.

But getting along with each other just now made him a little hesitant.

Uncertainty of mind, and the entanglement back then, will there be a day when it will come back to him in the future?

Su Yizhi didn't expect that the thinking of the person opposite him had drifted too far, so he just retorted solemnly; "Nowadays, the elder brother in the court is using things, this matter should not be difficult. Of course, if this matter fails, it will be that the foolish brother himself will not be happy. No wonder brother."

Words mixed with hints sounded in his ears, Su Yanzhao smiled, and just about to speak, he heard a moderate sound from outside the door.

Xie Qi lifted the curtain and came in, and immediately raised his eyebrows when he saw someone he had never seen in the room.

"Is there any guest in the house?"

The author has something to say: Xie Yi: In terms of seniority, I am older than you~

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows: Are you sure?

Xie Yu: ...Did I change my name without seeing it? !

In a place that Su Xiang didn't know, Ah Qi secretly met his parents~

yah~
