Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

On the third day of July in the eighth year of Jingchun, it was the hottest time of the year in Beijing.

Xie Anshuang listened to the routine reports of the court officials in the early days, resolved a few issues that were not so urgent to solve, and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court after confirming that there were no major issues recently.

Nearly five years have passed since the Jingchun Great Cleansing that year. In the past five years, Xie Anshuang did not say that he had made great achievements, but at least he did his best to ensure that the country and the people are safe and sound.

At the same time, he also completed the planning of his garden in the suburbs of Beijing, which was officially completed and opened to the public last year. Up to now, the garden in the suburbs of Beijing has become the favorite place for literati, inkmen and martial arts generals in the capital.

There are also many ordinary people who come to the capital admiringly, just to see the elegant demeanor of the gardens in the suburbs of Beijing.

Coupled with Xie Anshuang's openness to speak and accepting talents, the Northern Dynasty has become more prosperous and prosperous in recent years.

But prosperity also comes at a price.

For example, Xie Anshuang, who had just come down to court at this time, went straight to Chang'an Hall, threw herself on the bed without even thinking about it, as if she wanted to go back to the cage for a good sleep.

But before he could close his eyes, a familiar warm voice came from behind him: "Your Majesty, you still have a pile of memorials and two officials' invitations to deal with today. The earliest official is expected to arrive at the Imperial Palace in an hour and a half. study."

He pulled the quilt over, trying to isolate himself from the world.

This kind of scene will be staged in the Chang'an Hall almost every now and then. Xing Wenshu smiled helplessly, and stepped forward with ease to lift up his little thin quilt and fold it up.

Forced to return to reality, Xie An's twins had nothing to love, they stared at Xing Wenshu resentfully, and said angrily, "I don't know who is tormenting me every day these days."

Just a while ago, he tried again to draw the Momei picture that he hadn't sent out in his previous life, and gave it to Xing Wenshu, and casually mentioned something about his previous life.

Then in the past few days, Xing Wenshu didn't know what kind of madness he had, and he had to toss him in different ways for a long time every night, which made it a torture for him to go to the court and meet the ministers recently.

——Although he did not take the initiative less at night.

Seeing his angry look, Xing Wenshu coaxed him with a smile: "Okay, it's my fault. As compensation, I will review half of today's memorial for His Majesty, okay?"

Xie Anshuang was waiting for his words, and said cautiously: "Let's talk about it first, I will divide the half."

Since Xie Anshuang began to work diligently in government affairs, Xing Wenshu refused all the things that asked him to help review memorials or meet ministers on the grounds that he could not set a precedent for the prime minister to seize power excessively.

Occasionally, when Xie Anshuang was really too busy, Xing Wenshu would help with some of the simplest invitation papers.

He understood that Xing Wenshu did this to prevent officials from being ostracized by the queen mother to be ostracized by the prime minister, and also to prevent future generations from having ambitious prime ministers to follow suit and cause disasters.

But in fact, in the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer officials who have come to the Imperial Study to meet him alone, and they are required to report at least one hour in advance before coming, so there is no need to worry about their private relationship being discovered.

Xie Anshuang knew Xing Wenshu's kindness, but when he could be lazy, he really didn't want to force himself to continue to suffer.

Labor that costs nothing is useless.

Xu was considering that he had been too unrestrained recently, so Xing Wenshu didn't refuse this time, and nodded with ease: "Okay, it's all according to His Majesty."

Only then was Xie Anshuang satisfied, and finally got up from the bed.

The weight of the memorial was reduced by half, and he suddenly went straight to the Imperial Study Room in no hurry. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go to the Study Pavilion first. I haven't seen Xiao Ru and the other children for a while."

When Ye Ru turned six years old and officially went to school, Xie Anshuang asked Ye Ru if he wanted to be emperor, and was pleasantly surprised to get an affirmative answer.

So two years ago, Xie Anshuang officially changed Ye Ruzhi's name to Xie Ru, established him as the prince, and trained him as the prince.

In addition, in order to make up for Xie Ru's lack of playmates when he was young, Xie Anshuang allowed the school-age children from the offshoot of the royal family to live in the palace after being screened by you, and study together in the study pavilion.

The children who borrowed from the palace will be temporarily taken care of by suitable concubines in the harem, and they will have a monthly rest so that the children can go home for a while.

Apart from Xie Ru, there are four children of the same generation in the study pavilion, and each of them has a companion to read. It can be said that the entire harem is quite lively.

At first, Xie Anshuang would go to the study pavilion every day or every other day, but after seeing that they got along well, they gradually reduced the number of visits.

There have probably been a few ten days who haven't been there recently.

Knowing his habits, Xing Wenshu nodded after hearing the proposal, and quickly prepared some small pastries in the imperial dining room, and went to the study pavilion with Xie Anshuang.

When they passed by, it was during the break period of the morning class. Some of the children went to play outside the yard, and some sat and chatted in the study pavilion. The atmosphere of getting along was very harmonious.

Xie Ru, who was sitting on a tree in the yard and playing with his companion, was the first to notice them coming.

"Uncle An'an! Brother Prime Minister!"

Xie Ru waved at them from a distance, and the loud voice almost spread throughout the study pavilion.

With playmates these few years, Xie Ru's temperament has become more and more lively.

Xie Anshuang smiled helplessly, walked over with Xing Wenshu carrying the food box, and said, "Why did you climb the tree again?"

The one who answered him was a little companion under the tree who read: "Brother Emperor, Brother Xiaoru said to compete to see who can climb the tree the fastest."

After two years of getting along, Xie Anshuang became very familiar with the children in the Study Pavilion, and they were more casual in private. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows lightly: "Is there a result?"

The little companion read with a broken face: "It's Brother Xiaoru. Brother Xiaoru is too powerful, we can't compare to him."

"That's right, don't look at who I am~"

Xie Ru had already jumped down from the tree and agreed without humility.

Xie Anshuang patted his head lightly, and cursed with a smile: "The dignified prince is proud of climbing trees, what are you talking about?"

Hearing that there was no reproach in his words, Xie Ru smiled at him, and said: "Did Uncle An An bring delicious food again? I believe Uncle An An and the prime minister will not be willing to come empty-handed."

"You are the one who is greedy."

Xie Anshuang tapped him lightly on the head, and together with Xing Wenshu put the food box on the yard table, calling the children to come and share.

The morning classes in the Study Pavilion started early, and the children were already a little hungry at this time, so they immediately crowded around happily and thanked them obediently and politely.

In order not to delay lunch, Xing Wenshu prepared a small portion of pastries, and the children ate them all in a short while. Some of them went to do their own things, and the other part surrounded Xie Anshuang to actively and enthusiastically report their recent learning results.

Maybe it is Xie Anshuang's innate unique affinity. Every time Xie Anshuang comes with Xing Wenshu on weekdays, but children still prefer to gather around Xie Anshuang. You share your daily life with each other, and your eyes are full of children. of innocence.

Xie Anshuang stood in the middle of the yard, surrounded by children, the warm sun in the morning was still not scorching hot, smudged on his blue-gray figure, reflecting the gentle smile in his eyes that could not be contained.

Xing Wenshu leaned against a tree on one side, folded his hands on his chest, and only looked at Xie Anshuang's face.

In fact, when Xie Anshuang returned to the capital for the first time, the most officials came to the Imperial Study to find him, but at that time Xing Wenshu would still share a lot of memorials that needed to be reviewed for him, or meet different officials separately from him to ease the burden. his burden.

It wasn't until later that the situation in the court officially stabilized that he began to let go little by little.

It's not that he didn't know Xie Anshuang's hard work during the past five years, but he was really frightened by Xie Anshuang's heart attack.

Rather than relying on him, he hopes that his little Majesty is independent and respected by the world.

It's not bad to be loved by children like this now.

He watched Xie Anshuang lightly tap the forehead of a little girl as if punishing him, and he couldn't help but smile more.

Xie Anshuang, who was surrounded by children, seemed to be aware of it, and looked back towards Xing Wenshu's direction, meeting his focused and soft gaze.

Across the thin warm sun and the laughter of the children, it seems that there is only one person left.

Xie Anshuang looked at him from a distance, and after a while, he smiled back under the warm sun.

After being together for more than five years, they have already passed the unbearable throbbing at the beginning, and the rest is the long-lasting tacit affection.

Xie Ru, who was on the side, was keenly aware of the eye contact between the two in public, and very consciously took the children back home, leaving them space to be alone.

Xie Anshuang didn't care, and told them to work hard, and watched them all return to the study pavilion before getting up and going to Xing Wenshu's side.

"What is Brother Prime Minister looking at?" He looked at Xing Wenshu with a smile, deliberately calling him by the children.

Xing Wenshu raised his eyebrows lightly, raised his hand to caress his ear, and said with a smile, "Of course he is looking at my little Majesty An An, otherwise he might be abducted by some child at some point."

"The majestic prime minister of a country, how can he even eat children's jealousy." Xie Anshuang snorted and didn't take his words seriously.

Xing Wenshu rubbed his head, and finally regained some seriousness, and said unhurriedly: "Then your majesty, should we go back to work?"

Xie Anshuang: "..."

The good mood he had recovered with difficulty suddenly fell back, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "This is a place for children to study, don't mention work here, it will tarnish the children's innocent world."

Xing Wenshu chuckled, leaned close to his ear, and said coaxingly: "Then let's go back to the imperial study, shall we, little friend An'an?"

The deliberately lowered voice sprayed into the ear with the warm breath, causing a strange numbness.

Xie An's ears were reddish, and he murmured softly, "You are the kid."

But he said so, his body still held the hand extended by Xing Wenshu sincerely, and walked side by side in the direction of the imperial study.

The still warm morning sun fell beside them, elongating their figures, and shallowly outlined an intimate outline of interlocking fingers.
