His slender fingertips brushed over the cover of the thin booklet, and rubbed it for a while, until distinctive footsteps sounded outside the door.

From the sound, it seemed that Xiao Che who had just left had bumped into Xie Qi.

"Seventh Young Master's homework seems to be too light, otherwise he wouldn't be idle and running to the prime minister's house all the time."

"What did you say?"

"Let me advise you son, it's better to study hard every day to earn fame, so as not to recite the name of the prime minister's disciple but insult the prime minister's reputation."

……

He didn't hear Xie Qi's answer again, but Ling Zeju's door suffered a catastrophe and was pushed open with great force, making a loud crash.

When Xie Qi came in with a face full of resentment, he saw Su Yanzhao standing by the window with his hands behind his back. He was already slender, and he was even thinner due to the lingering illness. Looks like an extraordinary person.

Xie Qi subconsciously stopped, staring at Su Yanzhao obsessively, he couldn't move for a while, until the person by the window noticed his presence and turned his head.

"When did His Majesty come here?"

It was clearly an ordinary greeting, but Xie Qi's mind suddenly flashed through Xiao Che's words just now, "Seventh Young Master's homework is too light." The act of running away was a bit willful, and the voice of answering was not confident.

"It wasn't long after the morning court." He touched his bosom, took out the thin booklet from the study, and put it on the small computer in front of him; "I found this in the memorial today. I don't know the truth about the news on it." Fake, I just want to show it to the prime minister."

Su Yanzhao went back to the main seat and sat down. He didn't give the little book any mercy, but looked up at the fine beads of sweat on Xie Qi's forehead.

He reached out and took a piece of pastry from the plate in front of him and handed it over.

"Your Majesty's haste, I think it's useless for lunch. The minister's mansion is far away from the imperial palace, no matter how urgent it is, it won't take your Majesty time for a meal."

Xie Qi paused, took the piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth without taste, with the words just now, he didn't dare to show anything, after all he was still anxious, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and said; "But this It’s no small matter.”

Su Yanzhao looked amused, and reached out his hand to pass another cup of tea. The maid in the mansion had just brewed the tea not long ago, and kept it at the right temperature for drinking in the warm study room. Knowing dryness.

"Is it because King Cheng conspired against him?" Seeing that the little emperor in front of him was really anxious, Su Yanzhao hid the smile in his eyes and said seriously.

Eh?

Xie Qi, who was wondering whether he would be regarded as a psychopath if he told the truth, was taken aback for a moment, and he recalled it for a moment.

He is not stupid or even innocent, but he was isolated from the court since he was a child, and he is slightly inferior to the royal sons of the same age in terms of scheming and wrist.

If you think about it carefully, you can stuff things into the memorials sent to the imperial study room without revealing any traces...

Seeing that he lowered his head and remained silent, Su Yanzhao was not in a hurry to explain, he got up and walked to the door and whispered a few words, and when Xie Qi came back to his senses, the man had already turned around, and several pretty maids followed him They filed in behind them, set up a small table, spread some snacks and two bowls of hot porridge, and quietly retreated out.

Su Yanzhao lightly pressed Xie Qi's shoulder, beckoning him to sit down, took the spoon in front of him and handed it to him, apparently asking someone to talk while eating.

Xie Qi seldom eats at the same table with others. In the past, except for palace banquets, only Yun Yi was with him, and because of his status, he just stood aside to serve, and even less after he ascended the throne. Nothing intimate.

"This matter is confidential. It coincides with the fact that I have been on leave for several days. I thought it would be conspicuous to send someone to deliver the news, so I came up with such a method. I thought His Majesty would ask when he came to the mansion yesterday, but I didn't expect..." Su Yanzhao smiled and took the spoon He put the soup near his mouth and blew gently, and said slowly.

Su Yanzhao is a master who never tires of food and fine food. The cooking skills of the prime minister's mansion are much better than those of the royal chefs in the palace. It is rare that they are fine and less meaty.

Xie Qi was young after all, he didn't feel hungry before, but now he felt hungry, he took a spoon in his hand and took a few sips before slowly thinking about what Su Yanzhao said just now.

The room was quiet, and the two ate together for a while. After all, Xie Qi didn't hold his breath: "Is this news true? Where did you get it?"

Even if the prime minister is in charge of the military and political power, the news has to be handed up layer by layer. Su Yanzhao didn't discuss it in the political affairs hall before reporting to him, but instead secretly sent the news to the imperial study, which is enough to explain a lot.

At least... Not many people know about this matter.

Putting down the porridge bowl in his hand, Su Yanzhao took a quick handkerchief, dabbed it on the corner of his lips, and raised his eyes; "Does Your Majesty know Xuanwei?"

This can be regarded as a leftover problem brought about by the previous life. Su Yanzhao looked at Xie Qi's expression very seriously, his eyes met, but he could only see the clarity and confusion in the young man's eyes.

In other words, Xie Qigang did not know anything about Xuanwei when he took the throne.

It must be in the palace or in the court, someone gave him a secret message.

But it doesn't matter anymore...

"Xuanwei is a secret organization established ten years after the founding of the country by Taizu. It is in charge of the world's intelligence and covers everything. People with Xuanwei, the news that came three days ago is absolutely credible."

Many questions flashed through Xie Qi's mind, such as why Su Yanzhao is in charge of Xuanwei now, and why Su Yanzhao exposed such advantages to him, but in the end he chose to avoid the important ones.

"It is not surprising that King Cheng intends to rebel, but now he has not rebelled against himself. A secret letter alone is not enough to convict the prince."

Xie Qi had heard about the rivalry between King Cheng and the late emperor for the throne in the past. He knew that his prestige and ability were far inferior to that of the late emperor, and he was all supported by Su Yanzhao.

Surprised by Xie Qi's restraint, Su Yanzhao replied in a polite manner; "Your Majesty has not long since ascended the throne, of course you can't just deal with the vassal king like this, otherwise you may be self-defeating if you fail to deal with it."

He paused, flipped the bowl with a spoon unconsciously, and added: "This matter cannot be discussed in the political affairs hall. I have a headache these days. Please ask Your Majesty to think about how to do it."

Is this a test?

Xie Qi, who was eating happily, widened his eyes, and looked at a certain gentleman sitting opposite him.

Shouldn't it be the subordinates who offer advice and make the monarch's decision?

As if guessing what he was thinking, Su Yanzhao smiled: "I leave it to the minister to figure out everything, so there is no need to send this news to the imperial study."

……

Xie Qi choked on a mouthful of porridge, it was clear that the porridge was thick and soft, but the taste could detect a hint of bitterness.

"Does Your Majesty want Xuanwei?" Su Yanzhao said suddenly, his tone was gentle, as if he just said a very ordinary greeting.

The next morning, outside Jinling City.

Xie Qi jumped out of the carriage and looked at the building in front of him with a vague look.

Ten miles outside Jinling City, surrounded by mountains, there is a strange cave.

He came all the way with the curtain of the car lifted, so he knew that the place was deserted, and even birds and animals were rare, so he couldn't help being more curious about what he was about to see.

Su Yanzhao stepped down from another carriage, his face was a little unhealthy pale, his body was not fully recovered, and the road was bumpy, it was considered a lot of pain.

Both of them were light and simple, except for the coachman, only Su Yanzhao brought a servant named Rong Yan by his side, and even Yun Yi didn't follow.

"Let's go." With a light greeting, Su Yanzhao walked towards the gate, and Xie Qi hurriedly followed.

Before reaching the gate, someone came out to greet them. The person who led the way seemed to be a mute, bowed his head and did not speak. The gate of Xuanzhuang was still closed, but led them in through an inconspicuous small gate.

The high-walled path is long and narrow, and the air seems to be filled with a bit of bloody smell, invading every brick and tile, every corner.

Xie Qi leaned towards Su Yanzhao's side subconsciously, Su Yanzhao hooked the corner of his lips clearly, but still gave a hand to the shivering little emperor beside him.

His hands are cold, but they seem to be the only light in the dark night, the only duckweed left in the eyes of a drowning man, so that one desperately wants to hold it tightly.

After going back dozens of steps, the eyes finally opened up.

In the spacious and bright martial arts arena, the weapons are neatly displayed. Those who fight one-on-one are all wearing navy blue clothes. Their moves are as fierce as life-and-death fights. Occasionally, those who are injured and fall to the ground are weak, and someone quickly pulls them down and drags them down. To the unknown distance, soon there will be newcomers on top, and the next fight will continue.

Like an endless machine.

Each of them performed their own duties and went their own way, and everyone seemed to have never heard of their arrival.

Su Yanzhao let Xie Qi look at it enough, and then took his hand to the small building next to him.

The small building is only five floors, but it is already the tallest building in the entire Xuanzhuang. When you climb to the top, you can overlook Xuanzhuang.

Xie Qi saw the man in black robe who kept taking records at the edge of the martial arts arena, saw a group of children of average age outside another room, and saw a farther place, a more secret unknown.

"Your Majesty can come as often as you like."

As if aware of Xie Qi's panic, Su Yanzhao said leisurely; "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, as a king, regardless of likes or dislikes, it's best to make the best use of everything."

Xie Qi felt that he had never seen the person in front of him clearly.

Loyalty is like traitor, traitor is like loyalty... or something else?

After a long time, he spoke with some difficulty: "The prime minister means that Xuanwei will return to me?"

Su Yanzhao nodded: "Partly;" Touching the man's expression, he raised his eyebrows and smiled; "Your Majesty likes it, Your Majesty

On the day of my 20th birthday, how about taking the Xuanzi Ling as a birthday gift? "
