Omi had to sit up

The people in the Ministry of Rituals were slightly taken aback. They couldn't make up their minds about Xie Zhen's last sentence, and quickly asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many collateral families outside the royal family. I don't know if the Emperor will call here." ?"

"It can be screened in Hou Ye who has passed his youth and has not yet reached the crown." Xie Zhen said.

As soon as his eyes came out, the faces of the people in the hall lowered their heads and their faces became surprised. They looked at each other and saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.Chen Shu was also taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously looked at Xie Zhen.

Since Xie Fenghou, the lineage of the Xie family has been withered, and the current emperor is considered the sole heir, but Xie Zhen has no heirs so far. At this time, he suddenly wants to transfer the Marquis of the collateral line,...it is unavoidable. reverie.

The Holy Majesty and Jing Ninghou are quite ambiguous, but Jing Ninghou is really so capable that the emperor...

But yesterday's precedent is still there, and none of the courtiers dared to express their views.Although the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was full of turmoil, he still dared not make a sound on the surface, and quickly said: "Don't worry, your majesty, after the next court, the ministers will immediately send someone to inform the young princes."

Xie Zhen responded lightly, and made people announce their retreat.

With such an emperor staring at it, all the ministers of the early court on this day were like a light on their backs. When they heard the retreat, they all retreated and left, discussing in secret the sudden proposal of the emperor today.

Xie Zhen's words may make many people sleepless at night.It's just that the current government is different from previous years. Now that the new emperor is in charge of the court, most of the cliques and private parties have been eliminated. Coupled with Xie Zhen's temporary intention, no one can predict how it will develop in the future.

Chen Shu was also surprised,?? He thought that Xie Zhen might be worried and suspicious when he left without saying goodbye yesterday, so he stayed to accompany Xie Zhen after the next court. Thinking about the meaning of Xie Zhen's words, he couldn't help asking: " The emperor mentioned it today, is it the emperor's plan to train the next generation?"

"I have no heirs, and it's time to establish a reserve." Xie Zhen replied.

Both of them took off their court clothes, Xie Zhen walked in front in black and gold plain clothes, while Chen Shu wore the dark red gown under Jingninghou's court clothes, and followed Xie Zhen all the way through the imperial garden.Hearing this, he paused slightly and looked at Xie Zhen.

Xie Zhen's expression was calm, and it seemed that he was just describing a very ordinary thing.

But most of the crown princes were established on the eve of their abdication.Xie Zhenshang has not yet reached his thirties, and he is free from illnesses. Isn't it inappropriate to choose a foreign heir as the crown prince so early...

"Is it too early?" Chen Shu asked with some doubts.

"Why?" Xie Zhen walked along, slowed down with Chen Shu, looked at the blue sky in the distance and said, "If I remain emperor, you will always work hard for me. If you can find a suitable heir, you and I There will be no shackles, and you don't need to work so hard, when the time comes, the world will be vast and the rivers and lakes will be far away, and I can accompany you everywhere."

"...Really?" He was still thinking about him.Chen Shu's doubts eased, and he murmured.

"Yes, as long as you are here, we can go anywhere." Xie Zhen said.

"..." Without intrigues, Chen Shu naturally yearns for the life Xie Zhen said, but he may not be able to wait for this day now.

He wanted to tell Xie Zhen the truth, but he was afraid that Xie Zhen's stubbornness would not be able to accept such a fact.

In the royal garden, there were butterflies fluttering around the flowers, and a butterfly flew past gently, resting quietly on his shoulder.

After a while, Chen Shu said slowly: "Xie Zhen, after a while, I plan to go to Xihammer."

Xie Zhen's footsteps stopped, and the voice came slowly: "Why do you want to go there?"

"Xichammer suffered from drought this year, and you know my ability... I want to see if there is anything I can do there." Chen Shu replied.

When he was in the military camp, he used Chang Ming's power to bring down rain. Now Chang Ming has left. He may not be able to make the sky rain continuously for several days and nights like before, but let the sky rain a little to relieve the urgent need. Do what you can with all your abilities right now.

But when he got to Xihammer, he would never return to the capital.

He looked at Xie Zhen, his eyes showed reluctance, but he was slightly dazed when he saw the sky. After a long time, he lowered his head and murmured: "Praying for rain has its own heavenly supervisor, and you don't have to do everything yourself."

"Even the Marquis you canonized personally should do something." Chen Shu said with a smile, "otherwise others will really think of me as a vase."

"You lead the army to fight, who would think you are a vase." Hearing this, Xie Zhen laughed, and finally asked, "When are you going to leave this time?"

"After the hunt." Chen Shu replied.

Xie Zhen responded in a low voice, then suddenly asked, "When will you be back?"

"..." The smile on Chen Shu's face froze slightly, and he paused for a moment before replying, "...not yet decided, maybe he will come back when the matter is settled."

He kept it from Xie Zhen, and didn't even dare to visit Xie Zhen. He only vaguely saw the man beside him nodding his head, and said in a low voice, "So, hunting in the autumn field is the last time you and I will be together."

"...Hmm." It was Xie Zhen's most common voice, but Chen Shu also felt very uncomfortable listening to it.

Xie Zhen finally summoned up his courage and slowly turned his head to look at Chen Shu.I saw the young man staring at the flowers in front of him, the skin on his face was pale, which contrasted with the flowers and plants here.

Even if thousands of flowers are in full bloom in this garden, it is not as bright as his eyes once were.

He bloomed for him, and now he will wither for him.

Xie Zhen took a deep look at Chen Shu, saw the butterflies surrounding him, and then slowly looked away.

When the Emperor asked to arrange for Lord Hou to come to hunt, the people in the Ministry of Rites really summoned the boys who were related to the royal family who were acquainted with the royal family, and a total of six people participated in the autumn hunt together.

The youngest of these six people is only eight years old. This child's surname is Xie Mingsu, and he had a relationship with Chen Shu once. He was the puppet chosen by Fang Shougan when he conspired against him. This saved a life and was not charged with treason.

But this is the case, the fate is not forgiving, the old prince who was over seventy years old died of illness a year ago, leaving only a direct descendant, the young prince, who is still alive.Jie Su had seen Chen Shu rushing into the palace with guns and horses in the past, and he had always been very impressed with Chen Shu. When he saw Chen Shu during the hunt this time, he couldn't help but stare with wide eyes curiously and timidly.

Chen Shu met his gaze and returned a faint smile.

The boy blushed immediately.

Xie Zhen ordered these Marquis each to bring ten guards into the mountains to hunt, and Jie Su couldn't avoid it. He staggered into the deep mountains alone on his horseback.

"You won't let such a small child go." When Xie Zhen came over, Chen Shu, who had been watching from the side, joked.

"Even the Marquis, he already enjoys more favorable conditions than ordinary people, so he needs to be more capable than ordinary people." Xie Zhen and Chen Shu rode together and said, "Why, what do you think of Xie Su?"

"Fang Shougan rebelled that year. I saw him when I rushed into the palace." Chen Shu smiled, "Facing such a battle at that time, the child didn't cry or make trouble, but he had some strength."

"If his temperament is uncertain, Fang Shouqian may not necessarily use him as a puppet. This child also has some merits." Xie Zhen said, "Now that his grandfather is dead, his family is clean, and he has saved a lot of trouble."

The most feared thing in choosing an external heir is the joint kinship.Xie Su's grandfather passed away, and he was single, so he could indeed avoid many worries.

Seeing that Xie Zhen was also interested in Jie Su, Chen Shu smiled slightly, and said nothing, just drove his horse to catch up.

The two were highly skilled, and it was not the first time for them to participate in autumn hunting. There were no attendants beside them, only the horse attendants who counted and transported the prey by the emperor.At first they were just walking in the woods, picking up some small prey symbolically, but then they didn't know who made fun of the other's record last year, and the two started to compete with each other.

When he saw a group of gazelles passing by in the forest, Xie Zhen was about to go up to hunt, when the arrow hit the string and shot, he heard a sound of falling to the ground behind him.

He was slightly taken aback, feeling a vague premonition in his heart, and quickly retracted his arrow and turned his head to look, only to see that the horse that Chen Shu had been sitting on was hanging in the air, and there was no sign of anyone there.

And not far from the horse, a familiar dark red figure was lying motionless on the ground at this moment. His face was as pale as paper, and his hands were still grasping the front of his chest, but his consciousness was unconscious.

"Chen Shu!" Xie Zhen's complexion changed, he dismounted from his horse, and hurried towards the direction where Chen Shu fell.
