After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

For a moment, Xie Che wanted to see something on Xie Mingyue's face, be it anger, concealment or complacency.

But Xie Mingyue's expression was as usual, with a gentle smile on his face, "Your Majesty is suffering from the cold, and the dragon's body is unwell, and it is not suitable to see people right now," he said softly, "Let's wait another day."

Four days ago was another day.Xie Che swallowed these words.

On the first day after the palace change, he wanted to see the emperor. He didn't know why he wanted to see him, but he just wanted to see him. He wanted to know what the emperor would think of his behavior. He wanted to know if he was calmer in the eyes of the emperor. Have you regarded him as a qualified... courtier?

However, the answer he got was that Xie Mingyue said that His Majesty is not feeling well, and I will see you another day.

At that time, Xie Che thought, the autumn night was cold, and it rained heavily at night, so it is human nature to suffer from the cold and feel uncomfortable.

Until a few days later, no matter who it is, the emperor will not be seen. The big and small affairs and the officials' handling are all from Xie Mingyue's mouth.

The emperor has not been seen for five days.

Xie Che was not the only one who had doubts, no matter who asked, Xie Mingyue would answer gently that the emperor was not feeling well.

Was it the emperor who was unwell, or did Xie Mingyue want the emperor to be unwell?

Xie Che and Xie Mingyue looked at each other, there were little smiles in the pale eyes, not pretentious, but sincere.

Facing this pair of light-colored eyes, Xie Che couldn't help but feel that his breathing was stagnant even though there was only a warm smile in them.

Even though Xie Mingyue never asks Xie Che to handle affairs as a parent, Xie Che still has a fear of his strict father towards him. What's more, Xie Mingyue is not only a strict father, but also a power minister who is almost insane.

"Your Majesty hasn't recovered for a few days." After a long while, Xie Che heard himself speak, and even he himself was surprised that he dared to speak. The young man was obviously very nervous, but he spoke naturally, and there was just the right amount of concern in his expression. "It's just a cold, but it's so serious." He paused, and continued speaking vigorously to meet Xie Mingyue's gaze, "Father, I am very worried about Your Majesty, and so are the courtiers."

I don't know if it was Xie Che's illusion, but the smile in Xie Mingyue's eyes seemed to be deeper than before.

"Your Majesty is fine." Xie Mingyue replied, his tone was the same as before, and he didn't mean to warn at all, but it just made people dare not ask any more questions.

Xie Che was silent for a while, and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

That day he asked the emperor in the carriage, is His Majesty willing?

The emperor may have some affection for him, so he just asked him, do you think Gu is willing?

At that time, he thought hard and couldn't confirm whether the emperor was willing or not, but today, facing the smiling Xie Mingyue, he suddenly realized that it didn't really matter whether the emperor was willing or not.

Xie Mingyue's eyes fell on Xie Che's face, the young man's eyes were steady, he tried his best to hide the anxiety in his eyes, but there were signs of it, he smiled softly, "Your Majesty said that you are much more stable, he is very happy."

This was indeed what Li Chengqi said. The emperor praised Xie Che for his excellent archery and riding skills.

"Sir," Xie Che replied after a moment of silence, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Xie Mingyue nodded.

At this point, the two of them had nothing to say, Xie Che bowed to Xie Mingyue and bid farewell.

Xie Mingyue naturally agreed.

The boy who looked like a jade tree turned around, and the jade pendant around his waist was glistening like a pool of water.

The relaxed smile on Xie Che's face disappeared immediately. He unconsciously put his hand on the jade pendant around his waist, and rubbed his fingers lightly on the jade surface. temperature.

After seven days of autumn hunting, the emperor returned to court.

Except for Xie Mingyue, no foreigner can enter the frame.

Li Chengqi has no objection to this. After all, if an imprisoned emperor can meet with his courtiers in a fair manner, it doesn't need to be called imprisonment.

Except... Xie Mingyue poured the tea, tasted the temperature, then held the tea and brought it to Li Chengqi's lips.

Li Chengqi only felt her forehead twitching, except for Xie Mingyue who always does everything by herself.

The powerful ministers on the other side refused to give up on state affairs at all, everything must be under control, and the emperor should be a puppet in his hands, under his supervision.

However, it has not been heard that any powerful minister personally monitored the emperor.

In this way, what is controlled is not state affairs, but Li Chengqi's daily necessities.

Xie Mingyue is full of enthusiasm for everything about Li Chengqi, and she does everything without relying on others. When she came, there were still a few palace servants in the car, but now Xie Mingyue is the only one left.

Xie Mingyue had to wring out the face-washing veil and bring the water, Xie Mingyue had to pour the tea by himself, Xie Hou had to comb the hair, he had to tie the belt, and of course he had to untie it.

At first, Li Chengqi only thought that Xie Mingyue had pampered her for too long, and it was very refreshing to serve others for a while, but after a few days, Xie Mingyue would never get tired of it, and she seemed to be intensifying.

Li Chengqi looked at the memorabilia sent by Chen Liang without squinting, nodded, and turned to the tea sent by Xie Mingyue, "Put that there first, and drink it later."

Xie Mingyue was not discouraged, put down the tea with a smile on her face, and sat beside Li Chengqi to read the documents.

Li Chengqi frowned slightly when she read about the frequent harassment in the Western Territory, but immediately stretched it out again, and said to herself: "Of the 28 tribes in the Western Territory, six of them did not submit to Wan Qilan, their clans were destroyed, and two tribes perished in the battle of Lanju." , there are five more, after so many years of conflicting with each other, they have disappeared, and now, there are fifteen left."

Right now, the remaining [-] ministries are under the orders of Chu Cheng's ministries, whose leader is Qi Ling.

Xie Mingyue seemed to know what the emperor was thinking, and said: "Chu Chengbu and Kun Yuebu were intermarried in the era, and Wan Qilan and Qi Ling are cousins."

"As expected of a family." Li Chengqi casually threw the memorial on the table, and Xie Mingyue collected the memorial and put it in one place.

Back then Wan Qilan was very ambitious towards the Zhou Dynasty, but now there is another Qi Ling who is ready to make a move.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." The emperor sighed softly.

It is a pity that the Zhou Dynasty was in disarray, several generations of chaos, the treasury was empty, and there were few soldiers.

The ambitions of the grassland tribes for the Central Plains dynasty have existed since its birth, and it will never stop.

The Zhou Dynasty was connected to the 28 departments of the grassland, so it had to set up the Western Region Mansion, which was in charge of the affairs of the 28 departments, and the smoke continued for many years.

"Where there is any restlessness in the western region, it will be difficult for a day to be truly peaceful." Li Chengqi's tone was light, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter, "If you want to fight, it will be done once and for all."

Xie Mingyue bowed her head and said yes.

On this point, the monarch and his ministers can always reach a consensus.

"Qing has also read the memorial sent by Chen Liang, what do you think?"

Chen Liang ordered to stand firm, no matter how provocative, he just stood still.

"Chen Shuai is old enough to seek the country," Xie Mingyue said, "I think there is nothing wrong with it." He selected another letter from the memorials that the emperor hadn't read, and presented it to the emperor, "Your Majesty."

Li Chengqi pressed the center of her eyebrows, "Speak directly."

"Yes." Xie Mingyue nodded, "General Meng knows that war is about to start in the western region, and wants to go back as soon as possible."

There seemed to be brilliance in Li Chengqi's eyes, "Is she healed?"

"Okay, almost." Xie Mingyue replied.

Li Chengqi said: "Then agree."

A woman like Meng Xingchi shines like a star, and letting her live in the capital for a long time is actually a bondage.

The world outside Beijing is vast, and for Meng Xingchi, Fang is the place to go.

"One more thing."

Li Chengqi had already picked up the next book, and she couldn't help but look up at Xie Mingyue after waiting for a while, "What's wrong?"

Xie Mingyue said: "General Meng wants Xie Che to go back to the West Realm Mansion with her."

Li Chengqi took the memorial for a while, "It's good for young people to have more experience. It's better to have military achievements in the future than to rely on you as a father. Besides, he is going to inherit the Marquis." Li Chengqi opened the memorial but didn't look down. He mused Said: "Aizi is a hundred years plan, there is nothing wrong with it. It is Xie Che's luck that Meng Xingchi intends to support him. It's just that the West Realm Mansion is more dangerous than other places. Let's ask Xie Che if he is willing."

"I understand."

In fact, both of them knew that Meng Xingchi's submission to the letter must have been done after careful consideration, and Xie Che himself agreed.

Li Chengqi lowered her head and continued to look, and asked casually: "Xie Qing was very hesitant just now, what's the matter?"

Xie Mingyue smiled, "I'm thinking, the minister is in the court and Xie Che is outside, in the eyes of others, it is an ironclad proof of treason."

Li Chengqi sneered, raised her chin, and looked at Xie Mingyue, "Xie Qing."

"The minister is here."

Li Chengqi's eyes flickered, and she looked at Xie Mingyue with a half-smile, "Xie Qing has done the wrong thing so many times, and you're still afraid of people talking?"

Only Xie Mingyue knew what Li Chengqi meant by offending, "I have always acted cautiously. If your Majesty disapproves, I will never go too far." Xie Mingyue replied in a very respectful manner.

Li Chengqi snorted.

What Xie Hou meant was to regard him as an accomplice.

"Besides, Xie Che wants to start from a small pawn when he comes to the West Realm Mansion, which can be regarded as an outsider? Although he can't be Chen Liang for the time being, and when he is in Meng Xingchi's position, let's talk about the situation of holding military power outside and encircling the court. .” He said, his heart skipped a beat.

Although Xie Mingyue is cautious, she is definitely not someone who will worry about gains and losses because of such words.

He frowned, and suddenly understood Xie Mingyue's intentions.

It's not because he was afraid of the emperor's embarrassment, but he clearly expected how the courtiers would talk about it, and complained in advance to pretend to be pitiful.

Li Chengqi picked up the tea that Xie Mingyue poured just now, took a sip, and deliberately didn't follow Xie Mingyue's words that she believed in.

Xie Mingyue was not in a hurry, and happily went to look for other things.

Li Chengqi raised her head and looked at Xie Mingyue with a complicated expression after the bunny-style milk cake tea was placed on the table.

Xie Mingyue didn't seem to see Li Chengqi's expression, she moved closer to Li Chengqi, and whispered: "Your Majesty, your hair is messed up."

Li Chengqi glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and she saw the comb in Xie Mingyue's hand.

Li Chengqi: "..."

Ever since Li Chengqi didn't see outsiders, she had to comb her hair three times a day.

Li Chengqi said sincerely: "Why don't you just cut off your hair and give it to Qing."

Xie Mingyue was very terrified, "I dare not hurt my body."

What are you doing!

Li Chengqi gritted her teeth secretly.

Apart from her hair, which part of Xie Mingyue didn't leave a little scar on her body? !

Li Chengqi stretched out her hand to support her crown hair, and said loudly: "Qing Mi, Qing..."

Before she could say anything completely, Xie Mingyue took the comb and looked at him pitifully without blinking.

Li Chengqi took a long breath, "Get over here and comb Gu's hair."

The sunlight came in through the Linghua lattice, covering Li Chengqi's body.

He let down his long hair, black hair like a cloud.

Insert the comb into the hair and comb it down smoothly.

However, the emperor did not pick up the document, but casually squeezed a piece of tea into his mouth. The fruit was sweet, the pastry melted in his mouth, and the milk was fragrant, but it was not greasy at all.

He half-closed his eyes contentedly, Xie Mingyue smiled lightly seeing his leisurely look.

Steal half a day off.

The next day, enter Beijing.

Li Chengqi didn't order anyone to deliberately conceal the matter of the palace, so the courtiers heard the wind, and before the emperor entered the capital, most of them were terrified. When they saw the emperor driving into the capital, they felt a little relieved.

However, the emperor still did not see his courtiers.

Hearts float.

It was the end of autumn and the weather was slightly cold, but the Beiyuan Palace was as warm as spring. There were no charcoal stoves everywhere, and the fire was lit in the hollowed out underground. The smoke was discharged along the flue. He also ordered people to place potted flowers and trees and a water viewing platform in the hall.

After a long day, Cui Taoxifang rode a horse. After taking a bath, he was tired but not sleepy, so he put on a cloak and went to the pond to feed the fish. No bait is thrown, and the koi are left with their mouths open and their heads up to wait.

"Going away?" Cui Taoxi raised her hand, and the fish chased her hand.

Chengying looked troubled, and said hesitantly: "Most of the adults from the six departments have left, and there are still a few people kneeling outside, someone said, "

Fish food sprinkled.

Koi scramble to grab food.

Cui Taoxi doesn't like the koi being fed fat and fat, unlike the fish that look like pigs, the servants don't feed them much, so that the koi can grow slender and beautiful.

"say what?"

"If the empress dowager doesn't show up, she will see the power and treachery usurping the throne, and the country will be ruined." Cheng Ying said in a low voice.

Cui Taoxi bent his eyes and smiled.

The woman's snort came from her throat, soft but a little cold and alienated, different from the girl's delicate and clear, but it had something indescribably sweet.

She squeezed a few more grains of fish food, but didn't spill it.

"When Cui Yan died, someone knelt down in front of me, saying that if I didn't come forward to stop Li Zhao, the Cui family would be in a desperate situation. In front of me. When my son Li Zhao died, someone lamented that if I were not in the court, there would be great chaos in the court."

She held the fish food and teased the fish to fight for it instead of giving it any more.

The little fish food given first convinced the koi in the tank that the owner of this hand would throw more food, so he followed Cui Taoxi's movements to swim away.

"But look, Cui Shi is not only fine, but also has a disaster. At this time, she doesn't forget to trouble me." She narrowed her eyes, and her originally extremely cold, extremely beautiful eyes became more and more glamorous. "Li's family is still in good condition, so there is nothing to worry about."

Chengying said: "The servants and maidservants have said what the empress said."

Cui Taoxi raised her eyebrows.

It's rare for her to want to confide in her heart for a while, she doesn't want someone to be so ignorant of good and evil.

"If you want to kneel, you can kneel." Cui Taoxi said indifferently: "You don't need to stop, if you die, ask their family to collect the body."

The little emperor had not been in court for many days, and there were many rumors in Beijing, even reaching Cui Taoxi.

Cui Taoxi has a high status, and Xie Mingyue often comes to see her. She is the only person in Beijing who might be able to listen to Xie Mingyue's words, so Beiyuan is full of people day and night.

"Yes."

The fish opened its mouth and waited for Cui Taoxi to feed.

Tao Xi took the crystal plate from Cheng Ying's hand, and casually sprinkled the whole plate of fish food.

The pond suddenly boiled, and the koi flocked to fight for it, shining under the light, like a stream of gold.

However, the next moment, a black shadow flickered in the pool, and before Cheng Ying could react, a blood line had spewed out, staining the pool red.

The black shadow slowly dived back into the water with the fish in its mouth.

The koi were frightened and scattered.

"Guard..."

Cui Taoxi raised her hand.

Cheng Ying shut his mouth abruptly, although he was worried, he still slowly retreated behind Cui Taoxi.

Cheng Ying's face was pale.

She never knew that there was such a huge monster in Jinchi.

"Miss?"

"The auspicious giant tortoise sent from outside," Cui Taoxi watched the water casually. She was quite patient with Chengying, so she was willing to say a few more words to the female officer who was trembling with fright but stood in front of her at the first moment. Sentence, "My name and the words Fushou Yongnian are engraved on the back."

Chengying looked down, although the water in the pool was clear, but it was extremely deep, there were algae and midges all over the water, it was only a foot away, and if you looked down, you couldn't see clearly.

That black shadow was hiding under the water, if the Empress Dowager hadn't sprinkled too much fish food, causing the koi to reunite, it wouldn't have caught a koi so easily.

Sprinkle bait, attract prey, and swallow it in one bite.
