Chapter 44 Undercurrent

Prime Minister Xu Yanzhi is a very special person.

"Special." This is Jing'an's evaluation of Xu Yanzhi, two short words, but with a bit of playfulness.

Indeed, in this dynasty, there are heavy punishments and heavy punishments, and the control over the officials is extremely strict. No one in the court is cautious in words and deeds.However, Xu Yanzhi is a little different, maybe because he is young, maybe because he really has nothing to ask for, but he has less restraint in his actions, dare to speak and do, and do as he pleases, like the breeze and the moon, adding a different style to the heavy court the taste of.

It is precisely because of this indifference and impartiality that this young prime minister is extremely favored and valued by the emperor. It is no accident that he can sit in this position.

Jing'an is still young and has no right to interfere in political affairs, but he has known Xu Yanzhi for four or five years.When everyone thought this was a flattery for the prince, Xu Yanzhi maintained a proper relationship with Jing'an, neither too close nor too friendly.We only see each other a few times a year, and even if we meet, we never talk about other things, only about Fengyue.After a long time, everyone stopped paying attention to this pair of friends who had been separated for a generation.

Not long after the banquet, Jing An received a message from the Prime Minister's Mansion and happily went there.

"Your Highness, this is the No. [-] Scholar Red brought back from Huainan by the minister, but there are only a few jars, so why don't you try it?" Xu Yanzhi said unwillingly.

Jing An waved his hand, "You should know that I don't like wine, so you should enjoy it yourself, Prime Minister."

Xu Yanzhi sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity... Life is just for enjoyment. Your Highness really missed a lot of beautiful things."

Jing'an was helpless, seeing Xu Yanzhi was already slightly drunk, got up and said, "It's getting late, the palace is about to be locked, come back."

"Your Highness." The Prime Minister called Jing An to stop him, seeing the other side turned slightly, he asked, "May I ask, what do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince and King Rong?"

Jing'an was puzzled when he heard this.

"Your Majesty's time is numbered." Xu Yanzhi said bluntly.

Jing An suddenly turned around, "Impossible, the imperial physician clearly said that she has improved..."

"His Royal Highness is still young, and he is too hospital-like. The minister is very clear. Leaving one-third of what you say, half of the treatment, and one careless response in the response will kill the whole family. There is a lot of knowledge in it." Xu Yanzhi Another glass of wine was poured.

Jing'an was silent, guessing, "But what the lamp master next to my father said?"

Xu Yanzhi acquiesced.

"I don't believe in that set of things. Father is really..." Jing An stopped in time, swallowed the word confused, and continued, "Such illusory things cannot be judged by a broken pulse, but by a single mouth. Don't you just say what you want?"

After Xu Yanzhi listened, he was noncommittal, "Forget it, the minister has exceeded the rules."

After all, it is a young man's heart, happiness and anger come and go quickly, Jing'an paused, and smiled again, "The emperor is the son of heaven, and he will live a happy life and be healthy. In any case, as long as I guard the person in front of me, everything else will be fine. , I can't predict it, and I don't want to add trouble."

"General Jing is about to return to the imperial court. He is the one you single-handedly promoted. This time it can be regarded as earning you a lot of face. Instead of talking about that monk and looking for troubles, why not think about how to take over for him."

After Xiaoman, Jing Chengyi, as the military newspaper said, returned to the court with a big victory.On behalf of the emperor, the prince greeted the army on the high wall of the imperial capital.Jing'an begged his father to take him with him, but the crown prince couldn't help it, so he really took him.

On the high wall, the flags of Dayu fluttered, yellow sand filled the air, and the air was extremely distorted by baking. As far as the eye could see, there were all black heads, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.Going to leave the country, and finally have to return, all the faces are full of ambition.

After three years of hard work, Dayu was finally able to take a break.Jing'an could almost hear the sigh from his father's chest the moment he lifted Jing Chengyi up, it was as light as a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai.

Jing'an thought that after this battle, his father would definitely use Jing Chengyi again.Jing Chengyi did indeed take on the heavy responsibility as he imagined, he was promoted and given a house, and he was honored with unlimited honors, but that was nothing more than a vain job - Shi Zi Jingyuan snatched the credit regardless of face, and also took back half of the military power as he wished.

Military power has always been in the hands of the clan, and his father's actions are understandable, and Jing'an has no right to comment.All he could do was to send the female official, A Xing, to hastily invite the prime minister into the palace, and stop Jing Chengyi who was already on his way.No matter how injustice, no matter how meritorious, as a minister, he would not be able to challenge the emperor, whether public or private, Jing'an couldn't bear the loss of a loyal person.

After the heavy rain, the crabapple trees in the courtyard were all blown and withered, and the fallen leaves were all over the ground. The sound of sweeping the floor was endless, and the palace people were busy walking around.It was a sunny day.Jing'an stood in his courtyard with his hands behind his back, his long eyelashes slightly drawn, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on his body.

Jing Chengyi came here once. After all, people who practice martial arts are straightforward. After thanking him, he said bluntly, "I don't want to form a faction, but I hope to support Your Highness. As long as there is something to drive, it is duty-bound!"

Jing'an laughed, and there was only one person who surpassed the prince and was loyal to his grandson who had no real power.Jing'an knew that the general had misunderstood his father a lot, but he was not in a hurry to explain at this moment, he just supported him and said, "Jing'an can't bear the general's words. Now I want to go to Nanyuan with the emperor's grandfather to escape the summer heat. Guard the imperial capital for me?"

Anyone who listens to it will know that Jing An's words are polite, but Jing Chengyi complied solemnly.

Such a straightforward personality... Jing An secretly laughed in his heart. When he comes back this summer, he must tell the Prime Minister to take good care of this colleague.
