The third year after the death of the emperor

A night of contemplation yielded no results.

On the 24th of the first month of the sixth year of Qiming, early spring.

The cold spring is expected to be cold, and this year's winter has faded very slowly. New shoots have not yet emerged on the fluffy land, and there is still lingering snow.

Emperor Xie, who had been in Xuanzheng Palace for many years, finally ended his long rest and vacation, and reappeared in the field of vision of civil and military officials.There have been several batches of new blood in the court, and more than half of the courtiers have only heard of him, but have never seen him, but some senior officials with high positions and long experience can't help watching and considering him quietly.

Whether it was the emperor's will or the unexpected princess Xiao Tong, they couldn't be persuaded by such a thin and pale explanation, they just had to bow their heads in front of the imperial power.As for Master Xie...the words "resurrected from death" have always had a particularly mystical tinge.

The emperor looked the same as before, and his expression and demeanor were the same as before. From the appearance, it was impossible to tell whether there was any inside story about his return to the court, and it was impossible to verify the rumors in the capital.And after all the ministers saluted, the emperor who made his public appearance for the first time hadn't made any movement before His Majesty, who was at the top, said, "Teacher's body hasn't recovered, so don't have to stand for a long time."

After saying this, Cui Dajian, who was standing by the side of the emperor, went down the steps and invited the emperor's teacher to the side of His Majesty. On the right hand side of the dragon chair, an extra throne was set up, covered with plush cushions. Spread softly over the back of the chair.

In the precedent of the Qi Dynasty, this seat would only be specially set up when the ruler was young, and the queen mother or Tai Tuo was in charge of the government.

"What does this mean?" Among the officials, Feng Qijun's eyeballs were about to fall out, and he was thinking in a mess, "It's another transfer of scribes, reinstatement, and this special seat, a holy family... Your Majesty, what is this for?"

He has experienced the rejection of powerful officials by the imperial power, and has witnessed many years after he ascended the throne.Even though he is a loyal minister of the Xiao family in the final analysis, he still has to admit - His Majesty is by no means a benevolent and generous king.

This is going to knock people's heads off.Feng Qijun didn't know that he first thought that Xie Wen was so capable that he could rule the emperor into obedience, but he first thought that His Majesty is really capable, and he can coax people back after doing everything like that.

He quietly glanced at Shen Yuexiao.Xiao Shen, one of his colleagues, stood there calmly, with an expression of "I'm not interested in their affairs", which stood out among the many numb and puzzled faces.

The imperial seat is not far from the dragon chair, but it can't be said that it is within reach.However, the one under Xie Wen's body seemed to have manipulated the distance, and it was too close to the dragon chair.

Xiao Xuanqian's eyes lingered on him for a while, and said in a low voice: "I didn't see you taking medicine when I got up this morning..."

The behavior of the little emperor was outrageous enough. Xie Wenguang glanced at the faces of Gao Kun, Wen Hanyu and others, and he knew that the hearts of these iron-blooded emperors and important officials in the court were twisted into a twist.If he wasn't a man, and he was also the mentor of the emperor when he was young, he probably would have come forward to speak out to death, and he must give his head to this golden palace.

He raised his hand to his lips, coughed lightly, and interrupted: "Do business."

Xiao Xuanqian could only look away.

Xie Wen knew a lot about the government affairs of the court and China, and had a long talk with the little emperor, so she was very clear about what they were currently discussing.Not long after, the officials of the DPRK and China had already stood in two factions, impassioned and spit flying, blushing with anger at each other, attacking and defending endlessly, which is the trouble of the Northwest.

Unexpectedly, Gao Kun and others strongly opposed it, but those new literati and military generals who entered the court were enthusiastic about Xiao Xuanqian's intention to conquer the Northwest.This son of heaven is His Highness the Ninth Prince of the late Emperor. As we all know, His Highness Ninth Prince was proclaimed the crown prince in one fell swoop because of his military talents. Qiongzhou and Taiyue have passed, and the land they have passed is still safe and healthy, and there are no bandits for thousands of miles.

"...However, back then, Your Majesty, with the help of all the old generals from the flanks, they crossed the Qushui directly and strangled them. Only then did we win a big victory. Although our dynasty is prosperous today, we trek thousands of miles into the cold land to conquer the nomadic clan... the army There are so many evils in the middle, and your majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, so I really can't go there." Wen Hanyu raised his head and argued, "Is there no one who dares to be handsome for this? The emperor's own driving is enough to make all the military officials in the world feel ashamed and smashed to death. How can you save face !"

"What's the face!" The officials behind him started to discuss.

"Is face as important as the border people? Is it as important as farming and spring plowing? How is it more important than Qi Dynasty's national prestige?" said a strong military official with a face, "The last general dare not mention the commander-in-chief because of the most powerful and unparalleled commander-in-chief in the world. Right at the head! The Xuanlong 纛旓 stands in the ice and snow, the emperor's favor is so great, the sergeants and generals will naturally follow. One can break the self-esteem of the soldiers, two can solve the border troubles, and three can win the victory and show off the pressure Biantu... besides this, who can appoint the commander in chief, who can deter the frontier generals? Is Wen Chang serving you?!"

A few low laughs came from the side of the strong military minister.

There was a heated quarrel below, Xie Wen saw that everyone was discussing politics so immersedly, so she whispered to Xiao Xuanqian: "Has it been so noisy?"

Xiao Xuanqian turned his head to listen, and said in a low voice: "It's been two days."

Xie Wen: "You won't stop?"

Xiao Xuanqian took it for granted: "Why stop it?"

Xie Wen: "It is clear that you have already made up your mind."

Xiao Xuanqian said logically: "If I don't listen to their quarrel, I won't be able to make arrangements to stay in the capital and supervise the administration of the country."

Xie Wen sighed: "I don't know the two important ministers, Mr. Gao and Mr. Wen, but I know what your heartless Majesty is thinking."

Xiao Xuanqian: "They overstepped to the point where I'm a little bored."

The little emperor seemed really annoyed by those memorials admonishing him to stand up.His fingers tapped on the edge of the dragon chair one after another, and he glanced at Xie Wen from time to time, and the two of them stayed away from the matter and commented in a low voice.

"The conquest of Northwest China will ultimately depend on your decision," Xie Wen said, "but Wen Hanyu's method of taxation is also feasible, and it can correct abuses."

Xiao Xuanqian said: "Look, he is about to start impeachment."

As soon as the two finished speaking, Wen Hanyu immediately turned around, picked up a memorial and handed it over to Cui Sheng, and said in a loud voice: "I want to impeach Dong Huiyin for accepting bribes, colluding with each other, and using Worshiping officials and conferring titles, blackmailing and blackmailing, linking up with new officials, and managing party members!"

Dong Pushe, whose name was called, immediately took a step, bowed down and knelt down, and clarified the argument to the superior.However, today Wen Hanyu came prepared, with a lot of plausible evidence in his hand, asking questions aggressively and relentlessly.

Just as Dong Pu was sweating profusely, another person stepped out from one side. It was the little Mr. Feng Feng Qijun who had always been silent and low-key like an invisible person. The meeting with Dong Pushe was just a coincidence, not what Mr. Wen said, let alone forming a party for personal gain."

Wen Hanyu said: "Could it be that you were there that day? Do you know where they are!"

The moment Feng Qijun was speechless, another person leisurely stood behind Wen Hanyu.Shen Yuexiao, the emperor's favored minister, raised his hand and said, "Qunyulou—a place of elegance, Mr. Dong is very elegant, and Wen Changshi don't join him like this. Instead, come and join him as an unruly, frivolous, frivolous, and clean person." The land of these fireworks."

Wen Hanyu was about to have a fit, when he turned his head and saw Shen Yuexiao's young and unrestrained face, wondering who was behind him, so he bowed down angrily, bent down and knocked to the ground: "Your Majesty!"

Just like a bullied little daughter-in-law.

These courtiers are often like this. Throughout the ages, many literati have compared monarchs and ministers to concubines and concubines, resulting in a sticky relationship between men and women. ".

Even if Xie Wen really had something to do with Xiao Xuanqian, she couldn't bear such nasty poetry.The little emperor didn't even move his eyes, commented on the decision with a cold face, and each hit [-] boards to calm down the debate.

In order to attract Xie Wen's attention, Xiao Xuanqian specially said to him: "Dong Huiyin, do you remember? He has recently resumed his post."

Xie Wen said: "I remember. People are very simple and honest, how can they still go to Qunyulou? I just watched for a long time, and there are so many old employees, no wonder your Lord Wen wants to get rid of this faction."

Xiao Xuanqian frowned: "Whose?"

Xie Wen glanced at him, caught the jealous smell visible to the naked eye from him, recalled her remarks, and changed her words: "It's not yours, I'm yours, okay?"

Xiao Xuanqian was extremely satisfied, he was so happy that a flower would bloom from his head.Xie Wenguang looked with his eyes, and he could feel that in his dirty and muddy heart, a handful of buds were stimulated by this mere sentence, and they sprouted triumphantly, as if they were bound to win his favor.

"The loyalty of Gao Kun and Wen Hanyu is incomparable." Xiao Xuanqian's voice was low and cold, "But I also need Dong Huiyin and Feng Qijun."

Xie Wen understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "I finally picked up your imperial check and balance technique. When you messed up the political situation in the court, I thought you only cared about eradicating me, and didn't care about this society at all." .”

When he talked about the pain point, Xiao Xuanqian shrank back and was bored for a long time, relying on the fact that none of the officials below looked up, he suddenly reached out and held his hand.

Xie Wen was startled, flinched a few times without avoiding it, and the little emperor whispered: "I really want the teacher to be my queen."

In the public, even if they have nothing to do, holding hands like this is too close, not to mention that they really have that kind of ulterior relationship. Xie Wen has never been so guilty. His slender fingers are trying to escape each other. It took a long time for him to withdraw his hand and give up one side of the throne to the other side, sitting next to the other side, straight and expressionless.

Huaiyu ignored me.

Xiao Xuanqian thought deeply, his flower that had just sprouted its buds suddenly withered.It took a long time before he said: "I won't move, you sit back."

Xie Wen was indifferent.

The crowd was once again arguing against the sky, and everyone had already developed the habit of asking His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision after draining all their saliva. At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor, who they said was utterly indistinguishable, had terribly frightening eyes, surrounded by a sour aura of rivalry for favor. But he still lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "I really don't want to touch you, I was wrong, don't be angry with me..."

Xie Wen said: "How dare I be angry with Your Majesty. No matter how frivolous your Majesty is, you will blame me for having no heirs in the middle palace and no children under your knees."

Xiao Xuanqian was wronged and wanted to argue but didn't dare to provoke him. When he was thinking about it in his heart, all the officials suddenly knelt down and asked the emperor for a verdict.

Xiao Xuanqian was extremely upset: "Kill them all."

The silence below was like a chilling cicada.

After a long while, Gao Kun Gao waiter bit the bullet and asked: "Your Majesty means that all the refugees who cannot be resettled..."

Xiao Xuanqian's face was frighteningly cold, and Gao Kun didn't dare to say anything, the voice below was extremely silent for a moment - they all realized at the same time that if they came out at this time, even if they didn't get killed by His Majesty, they would definitely be of no use.

At the moment when the needle could be heard, a voice as warm as a clear spring sounded from the side of the emperor: "This is a serious matter, please think twice, Your Majesty."

As soon as the words fell, the hurdles that were stuck with this group of courtiers suddenly went smoothly, and all the courtiers hurriedly followed, asking the emperor to take back his orders.It wasn't until this time that those officials who took Xie Wen into the observation object found the opportunity to look up at Master Xie.

Xiao Xuanqian's mood turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and he patted the back of Xie Wen's hand openly to show his closeness and respect, and said gently: "Okay, I should listen to the teacher's advice and make a new decision."

It's almost as if he would raise his tail to the sky if he was a little proud, and his temper was similar to that of the long-haired jade lion, good and bad for a while.

There were many things discussed at the court meeting, and they did not leave the court until after noon. After finalizing many matters, the ministers left separately, with different joys and worries.

Xie Wen didn't go back to Xie's mansion for two days, and wanted to take Tongtong back to live, but before Guo Jin brought Xie Tong to the side hall where Xie Tong changed clothes, the official court clothes he had just unbuttoned were held down from behind. The dense fabric is slightly warm, revealing the warmth of the palm.

Xie Wen knew who it was, so she didn't panic, and continued to unbutton her belt, while saying: "Why, haven't you had enough trouble today? The emperor is six years old, I can set up a throne to listen to the government, and the emperor is 26 years old, can I?"

Xiao Xuanqian hugged him from behind, and at the same time pressed his hand on the belt, and whispered in a soft voice: "Zhengping Northwest, it will take three months soon, I was thinking of you waiting for me here, thinking Only by spending a long time with you for the rest of my life can I hold back the temporary farewell. Before leaving, take one less look, and one less time, why don't you allow me to see you more?"

Xie Wen said: "Is there anything you can't do in private? If you have to be so willful, are you afraid that others won't know about our relationship?"

"Teacher," there was a hint of a smile in the other party's voice, and he asked without giving up, "What is the relationship between us, so you can't say it."

Xie Wen heard the smile in the words, her ears were a little red, she lowered her head to remove the ornaments on the belt, the jade buckles and palace tassels jingled.After taking off all the ornaments, the belt also fell to the ground. He took off the first-grade Taifu's court clothes with his backhand, retrieved the ordinary clothes from the screen, and resumed his calm expression: "Three months? Your mental state is still good. But how long this brain can last, God knows, do you know?"

Xiao Xuanqian stared at him and said: "As long as I think of you waiting for me in the capital, I can control myself well, teacher don't have to worry."

Before Xie Wen could speak, the other party leaned over to beg for a kiss.The little emperor licked his lips viscously, biting his slender and moist lips until they turned red, leaving shallow tooth marks like a small animal, and then asked in a low voice: "Huaiyu, you have to wait for me to come back, I'm fine, I'm sure, I'll be fine, can you trust me?"

The author has something to say: It's not that he doesn't believe you, he just can't wait for you.
