Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

After reviewing the first half of the memorial, Xie Anshuang finally went to the Imperial Garden for a walk as he wished.

Since his concubines are all playing games with him, and each has their own way of sneaking out of the palace, the imperial garden is very deserted, and there are hardly any concubines.

He wandered around the imperial garden for a long time, except for Xing Wenshu who occasionally chatted with him behind him, no one came to disturb him halfway, but he ended up in a clean and comfortable place, and even the resistance to going back to continue reviewing the memorial was much less. .

After visiting the imperial garden, Xie Anshuang, who was revived in place, went back and reviewed the rest of the memorials, leaving only a small part that was not in a hurry, and waited for the next day to continue to struggle and finish.

Xing Wenshu finally let him go and didn't force him to finish it within the day. He packed up the pile of scattered memorials for him and let him go to Qiwu Hall.

In the Qiwu Palace, Ru Nian had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and went to the inner room with Xie Anshuang and asked, "Didn't Your Majesty say that you would come this morning? Why did you delay until the afternoon?"

"Don't mention it." Xie Anshuang curled his lips, "Xing Wenshu locked up the memorials in the imperial study all day today, and those memorials full of nonsense are so lonely."

Ru Nian couldn't help chuckling: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such a day. You usually pile up all the memorials on the table, and in the end you only pick a few to read, and send the rest back intact."

Xie Anshuang replied sullenly: "Don't mention it, Xing Wenshu usually looks obedient and obedient, but he is always so stubborn at this time."

Seeing his depressed appearance, some thoughts flashed in Ru Nian's eyes.

Perhaps the authorities are obsessed with onlookers, and even Ru Nian, who has never had much contact with Xing Wenshu, can see that Xing Wenshu's move is not stubborn, but he wants to lead him on the road of being a responsible and good monarch.

One wants the other party to usurp the throne, and the other wants the other party to go back to the right path, and who will win in the end.

Ru Nian looked at Xie Anshuang, and secretly hoped that the final result would be the latter.

Before Ru Nian could think any more, Xie Anshuang had withdrawn from his thoughts and asked her about Lian Yuan.

Ru Nian also put away the thought just now, and said: "I have told the palace people lurking in Yuangui's palace to pay attention. At present, it seems that there is not much connection between Lian Yuan and Yuan Gui and Lian Yuan. Yuan Gui will Lian Yuan It seems that I just want to see if she is useful, and I have not contacted her before."

Xie Anshuang felt relieved to some extent.

At least this Yuangui is not really short-sighted enough to hook up with foreigners, so he is not afraid that Lian Yuan will see something and report to Yuangui, which will arouse Yuangui's suspicion of him.

After making a small calculation in his heart, he continued to ask: "Then has the little princess ever come to look for the uncle so far?"

Ru Nian nodded: "I came here this morning, and my attitude... is quite friendly. I want to ask me what His Majesty likes on weekdays. It seems that he also wants to make friends with me. The performance is sincere and sincere, and it is pitiful. See There is no trace of lying or pretending, if I hadn't known her details in advance, maybe I would have been shaken for a moment."

Ru Nian has always been good at knowing people, every concubine Xie Anshuang brings back to the harem, before entering the palace, Xie Anshuang will let her pay attention to it for a while, to make sure it is credible before officially entering the palace.

To get such an evaluation from Ru Nian, it can be seen that Lian Yuan is indeed not a good person.

Xie Anshuang pondered for a moment, then said: "Then I would like to ask Master Uncle to remind the other concubines in private, and let them be more careful, don't be tricked by Lian Yuan into being a saber envoy."

Ru Nian responded, and continued: "When Lian Yuan came to see me today, I didn't show any attitude for the time being. She doesn't seem to understand the harem, but I don't guarantee whether she also pretends not to know. These days I will pay more attention to her actions, if she really does not understand the normal harem rules, I will pretend to be friends with her and see if I can get some more clues."

Xie Anshuang didn't have any objections to her actions, nodded in agreement and didn't say any more, and went back to Chang'an Hall when it was almost time, to rest for a while to calm down his mood spoiled by the pile of memorials.

So after this day, Xie Anshuang was basically bothered to go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials during the day, to meet the officials who were invited, and in the afternoon to go back to the Chang'an Hall to read books and relax, and he became quite busy all day long.

If it wasn't for not going to the court early, he would have almost forgotten that he is a foolish emperor, so he doesn't need to be so conscientious.

I don't know if the delivery of breakfast hit Lian Yuan, Xie Anshuang didn't see Lian Yuan in the next few days, even if he went to the Imperial Garden occasionally, he would never meet her.

On the contrary, Ru Nian has spent more time with Lian Yuan in the past few days. It is basically confirmed that Lian Yuan really does not understand that the normal harem should be intrigue, and no one would be so kind as to guide her how to win the emperor's favor.

Ru Nian took advantage of her innocence in this regard, and listened to what she said that she was always bullied and not favored because she was the youngest in Fandongguo, and felt that Xie Anshuang was a good person, and wanted to stay in the harem, even if only as a The little concubine with a lower status is also willing.

And when Ru Nian reminded the other concubines to pay attention, she also heard different versions of the story from different concubines, and the details of each version were determined according to the concubine's personality.

Hearing that Xie Anshuang wanted to applaud her ability to make up stories, she couldn't help but be more sure that her scheming was not simple.

In addition, Yuangui seems to have had a private conversation with Lian Yuan, but judging from what Ru Nian can understand, it seems that Lian Yuan and Yuangui have not reached any consensus on cooperation, except that Lian Yuan will go to the hospital in the first few days. After a few trips to Yuangui's palace, there was basically little contact in the future.

Therefore, Xie Anshuang put aside Lian Yuan and Yuan Gui's thoughts for the time being, and asked Ru Nian to focus on helping Lian Yuan pay attention to her mistakes, so as to find a legitimate reason to drive her back to her Fandong Kingdom.

The matter of the little princess in the harem has been resolved for the time being, and Xie Anshuang also learned a lot about the current trends of the court when he was forced to work by Xing Wenshu.

Since the assassin of the hunting ground "suicide in fear of guilt" in prison, Xie Anshuang paid special attention to the two small officials who sent the assassin on the ostensible side. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he saw the impeachment note in the memorial, and wanted him to send the two officials out of prison. Officials were relegated to remote places.

Presumably it was the fact that they almost left a handle before, which made the real people behind it unhappy. Even though this time the incident was "nearly dangerous", they still planned to abandon these two pawns.

This was also part of Xie Anshuang's plan from the beginning.

He was very aware of Yuangui's vigilant temperament, and as the saying goes, like attracts like to divide people into groups, he also knew that the main people under Yuangui's faction had basically the same temperament as Yuangui, and could not tolerate any small mistakes.

As long as there are many abandoned sons who are abandoned by them because of "never danger", there will inevitably be a small number of insignificant officials among them who will become suspicious and waver, and choose to switch to other factions in order to protect themselves and become a reserve army.

The small officials inside are not in the same mind, and there are few lambs who can take the blame. If they want to do something big in the future, they can only rely on the top few to do it themselves.Once they entered the game in person, Xie Anshuang and Ye Zihe could find out their tricks and break them down one by one.

The big picture plan is progressing smoothly, and Xie Anshuang's small link plan has also made substantial progress.

The senior son of the Guan family, who was arranged by him to supervise the work before, because he concealed the collapse accident last time, and the construction appropriation has been squandered long ago. In desperation, just as Xie Anshuang expected, he chose to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. Repair the collapsing building with funds originally allocated elsewhere.

But because of this, the east wall that was demolished had an accident because of the recent continuous spring rain. The small pavilion that was built with great difficulty was washed and collapsed by the rain overnight because of the poor quality of the materials.

The senior son of the Guan family really couldn't fill the money loophole caused by the collapse this time, so he had to tell the head of the Guan family the whole matter.

As Xie Anshuang expected, the always strict Patriarch of the Guan family immediately beat up his useless son, and then continued to suppress the matter, finding a way to fill in the shortfall for the time being.

It's a pity that the senior son of the Guan family was already terrified of his father. When he reported to his father, he didn't tell the whole truth. Let me tell you about the shortage of the place.

And according to Xie Anshuang's understanding of the son's insatiable temperament, this time the matter is temporarily resolved, and he will only be honest for a while because of his father, and then he can't help but take chances to commit the crime again.At that time, the void that needs to be filled is beyond what the little Guan family can bear.

The Guan family is one of the three main figures in the Yuangui faction party. Once the Guan family falls, the vitality will be hurt at 01:30.

Xie Anshuang's small calculations were crackling, and he estimated that it would only take two years at most before he could completely destroy Yuangui's power and remove Xing Wenshu's biggest stumbling block before he took the throne.

But before that, there is a more important thing - Xing Wenshu's birthday is coming soon.

Xie Anshuang had never celebrated Xing Wenshu's birthday. Although he couldn't celebrate Xing Wenshu's birthday in such a high-profile way given their current state, he had already figured out that on the day of Xing Wenshu's birthday, he would use his desire to leave the palace as an excuse to marry him. He went out to play.

He knew that Xing Wenshu had always been a person who liked to move around, and after being trapped in the palace by him for so many days, it would be good to go out again.Then when he came back at night, he pretended to remember his birthday, and gave him the jade flute on the grounds of fulfilling his promise and rewarding him.

However, imagination is beautiful, but in reality there will always be unexpected surprises.

"...You mean, you want to apply to go back to Xing Mansion in these two days?"

Xie Anshuang looked at the leave notice handed over by Xing Wenshu, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Xing Wenshu smiled apologetically, and said: "Tomorrow is my birthday, so my father and sister rushed back from their hometown to the capital to celebrate my birthday. Today, I have returned to Xing Mansion. I don't want Buddha anymore. My father and sister are kind , so I thought about going back to live for two days, so that I could spend time with my father and sister, whom I haven't seen for a long time."

Listening to what he said, Xie Anshuang lightly pursed his lower lip.

How could he have forgotten that Xing Wenshu is the most favored child in the family, and his family must celebrate his birthday lively, so there is no need for him, a careless little emperor, to perfunctory him.

All the calculations in his heart suddenly came to nothing, Xie Anshuang reluctantly put away the disappointment in his heart, threw the memorial on the table, and said nonchalantly: "It's up to you, go back if you want. It's not easy for Gu to get rid of the old Prime Minister Xing's scolding every day." , I don’t want to experience it again after two years.”

Xing Wenshu was keenly aware of his state, but he didn't say anything for the time being, but said gently: "My father is also doing it for His Majesty's benefit, and I hope His Majesty will be merciful."

Xie Anshuang is not in the mood to listen to his polite words now, and impatiently waved his hands and said: "Okay, Gu is not such a small-minded person. Didn't you say that they have returned, then go out of the palace, anyway, Gu here has You are the same without you."

Seeing that he obviously couldn't hide his loneliness under his impatient expression, Xing Wenshu thought for a while, and left without saying anything else.

Watching Xing Wenshu leave Chang'an Hall step by step, and finally disappear outside the gate of Chang'an Hall, Xie Anshuang, who pretended to be calm, couldn't help letting out his frustration.

He really wanted to celebrate Xing Wenshu's birthday.

Ever since he got the jade flute at the temple fair, Xie Anshuang has already started planning how to send the jade flute out on Xing Wenshu's birthday in a legitimate way. He even inquired about where he would go when he went out to play. I'm going to make some sweet pastries tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, he was cut off by his family members halfway.

Xie Anshuang picked up the memorial on the table, looked at Xing Wen's neat and correct handwriting on it, and the word "Xing Shen" that was signed at the end, and after a while, he curled his lips and closed the memorial.

"Tch...it's just a birthday. If you don't want me to celebrate it, then don't. It won't save me looking for reasons."

He said so disdainfully, but the loneliness in his eyes didn't dissipate much, and he put away this memorial carefully.

According to the original plan, at this time he should go to the imperial study to deal with today's memorial to make time for tomorrow's departure.But the plan fell through, and he lost the mood to go to the imperial study again, so he simply went back to his room to sleep in the cage.

Before going to bed, he specially added more soothing incense, and then he fell asleep in a daze until the afternoon, and didn't even get up for lunch.

And the consequence of sleeping for too long is that the head starts to hurt again.

He propped his head up and sat up from the bed, subconsciously called out to Xing Wenshu, but got no response.

Oh, I almost forgot, at this time Xing Wenshu should already be in Xingfu.

Xie Anshuang was stunned for a while before she realized that she suddenly wanted to lie back in bed and continue to sleep, but in the end she didn't take action, so she reluctantly got up from the bed and looked for clothes to wear by herself.

This routine of waking up, which was normal for him in the past, became a little unaccustomed at this time.

Since Xing Wenshu became a full-time guard, except for the time when he fell asleep, went to Qiwu Hall, and a small amount of time when Xing Wenshu went out to get something, Xing Wenshu would stay by his side almost all the time and do most of the things for him.

It's been a long time since he got up and cleaned up everything by himself.

Sure enough, once you get used to this kind of thing, it is difficult to change it.

Xie Anshuang lowered his head and tied the belt on himself, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart, after thinking about it, he would go to the Qiwu Hall to drink tea.

Ru Nian was still surprised when she saw him, and asked, "Isn't Your Majesty planning to go out tomorrow, why do you have to come here again?"

"Don't mention it." Xie Anshuang sat down next to her and said unhappy, "Xing Wenshu's father and sister both came back from a long distance to celebrate his birthday, so he told Gu this morning that he would go back to Xing's residence for two days. How could it be possible not to let people go?"

Seeing that he was obviously unhappy, Ru Nian teased: "So your Majesty has suffered a setback from his sweetheart, so he came to chat with his concubine for comfort?"

Xie Anshuang sighed and responded: "Yes, I'm lonely in the deep palace, so I came to ask my concubine for a cup of tea. Or is it that my concubine doesn't welcome Gu? Then Gu, a foolish king, is really a failure."

Ru Nian smiled lightly, raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea: "Okay, don't tease Your Majesty anymore. Then Your Majesty wants to go to the secret room to read books again? If you are frustrated in love, you can find something else to enrich yourself .”

Xie Anshuang shook his head: "No, I'm not in the mood to read. I decided to go out again tonight and go to...the Xing Mansion to have a look."

Hearing other meanings in his words, Ru Nian didn't say much, and responded: "Alright, then I'll prepare night clothes and hidden weapons for His Majesty."

Xie Anshuang nodded, watched Ru Nian go to prepare things, and continued to stay in the room to drink tea to relieve his worries.

With this disappearance, he simply disappeared in the Qiwu Hall to the point where it was suitable to go out at night.

At the end of You hour, the sky was just getting dark, which was the busiest hour in the capital at night.After Xie Anshuang left the palace, he walked around to the direction of Xing Mansion with ease.

When he was working for Yuangui at night when he was young, Xie Anshuang often took the opportunity to go to Xing Mansion to peek at Xing Wenshu's recent situation. Not only was he familiar with the way to Xing Mansion, but he was also familiar with the structure of Xing Mansion.

It just so happens that spring is already strong in the capital, and most of the bare tree trunks have grown lush branches and leaves again. After arriving at Xing Mansion, Xie Anshuang went directly to the direction near the main courtyard, and he saw the main courtyard brightly lit.

At this time, the Xing House used to have dinner, and Xing Wenshu and his family were all gathered in the house, and they could only see the figures reflected in the windows.

From time to time, some conversations could be heard in the room. Xie Anshuang couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could hear that the room was very lively.

One of the trees near him found a place to sit on a tree with a clear view of the main courtyard, resting his head on the branch, watching the moving figures on the window from afar.

Xing Wenshu must be having a good time at this time.

Xie Anshuang hid in the branches and leaves of the tree trunk, as if returning to the days before he ascended the throne in a trance.

At that time, as long as Yuangui asked him to work for a long time, he would come here to sit for a while after the quick battle, take a look at Xing Wenshu from a distance, and then leave reluctantly, waiting for the next time. Have a chance to take a look.

Now that Xing Wenshu is working as a bodyguard in the palace, he will definitely return to the palace after his birthday in the future, but Xie Anshuang just couldn't help but want to come and have a look.

Look at Xing Wenshu who is in a relaxed state because he gets along with his family.

He sighed in his heart, sat quietly where he was waiting.

But it didn't take long this time, Xie Anshuang really waited for Xing Wenshu who came out.

He seemed to have something to tell the servants in the courtyard, and after he came out and said a few words to a servant, the servant left the main courtyard at a trot.

But at this moment, Xing Wenshu seemed to sense something, and suddenly glanced in the direction where Xie Anshuang was.

Xie Anshuang was frightened by his sudden movement, and immediately hid behind the tree trunk, trying to hide his figure as much as possible to avoid being noticed.

However, his concealment failed to escape Xing Wenshu's eyes, on the contrary, he missed his slight smile after being vigilant and surprised.

"Xiao Shen, what happened? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

Xing Xuyi in the house saw that he didn't come in after ordering the boy to fetch things, so he asked a question in confusion.

Xing Wenshu came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just saw a kitten on a tree outside, it's quite cute."

"Xiao Shen still likes small animals so much." A woman sitting beside Xing Xuyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Come in quickly, daddy is waiting for you to explain in detail why that little majesty would You pity me. Your elder brother's previous letter only said that this matter cannot be easily disclosed in paper, and if there is no suitable reason, father can't let you do it."

Hearing his sister's reminder, Xing Wenshu responded, "Okay, come here."

He finally looked back at the hem of the clothes that was faintly exposed in the leaves, bent his eyes and smiled, turned around and went back into the house, and closed the door smoothly.

On the other side, Xie Anshuang, who was frightened for a long time, finally dared to turn his head back to look again, only to see that Xing Wenshu was gone in the courtyard, and there was nothing left.

It should be that he was not found.

Xie An let out a sigh of relief, for a moment he didn't know whether he was disappointed or lucky.

However, Zuo Zuo had already seen him today, so it was inevitable that he would be noticed again later, so he reluctantly got up and went back to the palace.

Without Xing Wenshu, Xie Anshuang couldn't be interested in doing other things. After returning to the palace and changing back to his normal clothes, he returned to Chang'an Palace, went to bed early and continued to sleep.

The second day, March [-]th, was also Xing Wenshu's birthday.

It's a pity that Xing Wenshu himself was not in the palace. Xie Anshuang, who woke up naturally early in the morning, couldn't arouse any interest, and turned away Lian Yuan who wanted to bring breakfast as usual, and then stayed alone in the Chang'an Palace, not knowing what to do.

On the second day when Xing Wenshu was away, I missed him.

Xie Anshuang sighed, still feeling that he couldn't be so decadent just because Xing Wenshu wasn't there anymore, casually looking for a volume of books in the small bookshelf of Chang'an Hall to pass the day.

Maybe it's because he's in a bad mood, Xie Anshuang still doesn't have much appetite today, he just casually picked up a few mouthfuls for lunch, and simply skipped dinner, turning over and over the book he had already read in his hand.

Just when Xie Anshuang turned the book back to the first page and was about to read today's book for the third time, he heard someone coming in from the door.

He thought it was Fu Yuan who came to persuade him to eat dinner again, without raising his head, he said directly: "Gu said, Gu has no appetite for dinner, so don't ask again."

However, as soon as his words fell, he heard a sigh, followed by a voice he was all too familiar with.

"I'm only leaving for two days, so your Majesty won't have meals on time?"

Xie Anshuang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, and bumped into Xing Wenshu's smiling eyes, and found his voice after a long while: "Why are you here? Didn't you go back to the Xing Mansion after you asked for leave?"

"Your majesty's leave is over, and..." Xing Wenshu deliberately prolonged his voice, as if he said casually, "I remember that your majesty promised me that I would give me a birthday present on my birthday."

Xie Anshuang didn't know how to answer the conversation.

He just mentioned it casually at the time, and it was convenient for him to make excuses today, but he didn't expect Xing Wenshu to really write it down.

Seeing his bewildered look, Xing Wenshu smiled deeper, and continued: "I wonder if Your Majesty would like to let you have the honor of spending this birthday with Your Majesty for the sake of rushing back?"

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added: "Only the birthdays of His Majesty and the minister."
