Wind chill

Your Majesty, you are so broad-minded.

On the day Zhao Jie was sent to the Jingzhao Yamen, rumors about the current emperor in the Yushi Restaurant in Yushitai spread on the streets of Shangjing.

"I heard that after Zhang Yushi learned of Zhao Jie's stupidity, he kicked down the threshold in anger in the mansion."

Xia Pei kowtowed melon seeds, and sat by the charcoal basin to pass on the gossip to Xie Yuanshi. Every time he knocked a melon seed, he threw the skin of the melon seeds into the charcoal basin.

It snowed again in the evening, and the fire in the charcoal basin was burning brightly, and every time a melon seed rind fell into it, a beautiful little spark would ignite.

Xia Pei didn't throw it in, so he moved to the place where the melon seed skin fell out, picked it up and threw it again. After a while, he had changed six or seven places.

"The threshold has been kicked over, how angry it is. Even if the threshold is not strong, it takes a lot of effort, right?"

Xie Yuanshi reads under the lamp, and when he has some insights, he writes a few notes next to him, and occasionally replies to Xia Pei's broken thoughts.

"In the year of Zhao Jie's scientific examination, his ranking was originally fourth. The examiner was Mrs. Zhong. After reading his articles, I felt that this person was arrogant, overly conceited, and not suitable for officialdom. I wanted to brush him off."

"I was there at that time. Among the several examiners, only Zhang Yushi believed that this person had an outspoken temperament and was able to express his feelings directly in the examination room. He was a rough jade that could be carved."

"Later, Zhao Jie entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, and was accepted as a student by Zhang Yushi. Earlier this year, he was transferred to Yushitai, under Zhang Yushi's subordinates."

Xia Pei wanted to complain that Zhang Yushi didn't know people well, so he was so outspoken, he opened his mouth but thought: "Isn't Zhang Yushi the kind of teacher who is Zhao Jie's mentor, the kind of kindness?"

Xie Yuanshi sighed: "It is true."

Xia Pei thought back to Zhao Jie's harsh comments on Zhang Yushi in the room, and felt so disgusted in his heart that he felt worthless for Zhang Yushi to accept a white-eyed wolf.

"Not as good as me."

Xie Yuanshi: "You also want to be Zhang Yushi's disciple?"

Xia Pei was not interested: "How is it possible? I just said that I have read few books, but I also know how to repay my kindness."

Xia Pei was the child picked up by Xie Yuanshi and Shen Yuzhu when they went outing in the mountains. Both parents died. Before meeting Xie Yuanshi, he lived in the mountains by digging wild vegetables every day.

He didn't recognize Xie Yuanshi as his son because Xie Yuanshi was His Highness King Qin, or any other status.

He usually doesn't talk about these things, but he never forgets them in his heart.

It was late at night, Xia Pei packed up the scattered melon seeds, packed his things and went back to his room.

Xie Yuanshi untied his hair, blew on the lamp, and went to bed wearing only a snow-white tunic, thinking that Xia Pei's character was a bit like a student Zhang Yushi would like, and wondered if Zhang Yushi would accept it.

There was the sound of roof tiles being trampled on the roof, and Xie Yuanshi's closed eyes opened vigilantly in the darkness.

The secret guards of Prince Qin's Mansion are all over the place, with just this sound, the visitor has been taken down.

When Xie Jiu reported back, his expression was ugly: "Your Highness, you have already taken poison."

Xie Yuanshi said with emotion: "It's been a long time since anyone broke into Prince Qin's mansion."

He still felt a little fresh for a while.

Xie Jiu bowed his head in shame, Xie Yuanshi said: "I'm just telling the truth, I don't mean to blame you. It's so late, talk to the brothers who are changing shifts, and go to rest."

Xie Jiu: "His Royal Highness, this subordinate will strengthen the guards and inspections of Prince Qin's Mansion in the near future."

"By the way," Xie Yuanshi thought of something: "Did you see anyone familiar in the restaurant today?"

Xie Jiu was puzzled, not understanding what his familiarity was referring to.

Xie Jiu: "Who did His Highness see?"

Xie Yuanshi sighed: "I saw a person who looks like my mother."

The old emperor passed away, and in the year when Shen Yuzhu ascended the throne, secret agents were mixed into the capital, and Princess Qin was almost killed.

Afterwards, the fine work was successfully removed, and the couple went to the south of the Yangtze River together to live in seclusion, secretly cultivating manpower for use by the court.

The Jiangnan area is far away, Xie Yuanshi is not in good health, he has only been to their place once in the past two years, and was driven back by the old prince. Although Xie Yuanshi is far away in Shangjing, they have Shen Yuzhu to take care of them, so they are not worried.

He hadn't seen them for more than a year. After all, the old prince was acting in secret. Xie Yuanshi also knew that they would not come back in the past two years, so he smiled and said, "I was just thinking wildly."

Xie Jiu thought about it and said, "Your Highness misses the lord and concubine too much, why not write a letter to the lord and concubine and send it over there? Can we let the messenger wait there for a few days, and then bring back the old lord's family letter to His Highness?" .”

Xie Yuanshi thought it was feasible, but he didn't know if his father was in the mood to write back to him.

I don't know now, anyway, his father used to be too lazy to write.

At the pilgrimage meeting, there were indeed many officials who talked about Zhao Jie's matter, thinking that this person was too rampant, and even went so far as to argue that it was too light to be exiled for the crime of disrespect.

Even Yushi impeached Zhang Yushi because Zhao Jie was Zhang Yushi's protégé.

However, the elder Song Ge came out to defend Zhang Yushi in court, saying that Zhang Yushi was among the people who said that Zhao Jie was derogatory. Zhang Yushi had admonished Zhao Jie to restrain his words and deeds before. Zhao Jie refused to change after repeated admonitions. .

All the courtiers debated with one another, most of them believed that Zhang Yushi should not be implicated, Shen Yuzhu also thought the same, and rejected the initial impeachment of Zhang Yushi.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Shen Yuzhu said lightly: "I heard that Zhao Jie also talked about King Qin, or was sent to the government by King Qin, why didn't anyone mention it?"

Just when the courtiers were quiet, Shen Yuzhu said lightly again: "All the lovers also agree with what Zhao Jie said?"

How can it be!

His Royal Highness King Qin is so good!

Why not?Of course, they were afraid that the emperor would be too angry and they would be scolded together!

But if you don't talk about the emperor, you really think they think the same way, so what can I do?How can Zhao Jie's own thoughts replace theirs?

Three years after Shen Yuzhu ascended the throne, Daqi was thriving. Apart from Shen Yuzhu's reasons, the courtiers who were loyal to the country also contributed a lot. Know.

Although the emperor favors him, everyone will not go out of their way to praise King Qin just because the emperor favors him.

Xie Yuanshi's current status in the hearts of the courtiers is only because of himself. The King of Qin was never proud of being favored, nor was he indifferent. Everyone can see his character.

Several old officials hadn't spoken out yet, and the young servant of the Ministry of Rituals took the lead: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Qin is humble and gentle, and treats his subjects with tolerance and patience. I always remind myself of His Highness Qin's conduct in the world. Zhao Jie What he said is actually his own prejudice against the King of Qin, and the ministers cannot agree with it."

Shen Yuzhu: "Gentle and patient? How did I hear that he pierced the back of Zhao Jie's hand in a fit of anger? Can this be called gentle?"

For those who have not seen the situation clearly, they really thought that the emperor had misunderstood King Qin when he heard what the emperor said, so he immediately stood up to defend King Qin, tried to clarify the misunderstanding, and returned justice to King Qin: "Your Majesty is wise, Zhao Jie uttered wild words, which also involved Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin took the initiative to discipline and restrain, I think there is nothing wrong with it!"

Shen Yuzhu didn't seem to listen at all: "How do you know that he is for discipline and restraint, not for personal revenge?"

The courtier who played: "..."

Did the emperor take the wrong medicine today?

What is there to doubt?

The courtiers who played were speechless, and the courtiers who were watching were anxious: "Even if it's a personal revenge, I think there is nothing wrong with it!"

As soon as this remark came out, there were whispers in the court meeting.

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

This man really dared to say it.

However, in the blink of an eye, another censor stood up.

"My minister believes that although King Qin's action yesterday was not in accordance with the law, it is justifiable! Before the doctor Yu Shi privately reprimanded Zhao Jie, it was because His Royal Highness King Qin accidentally caught Zhao Jie talking about him behind his back, and the doctor Yu Shi wanted to come forward. The reprimand on the spot was blocked by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, at that time I followed Doctor Yu Shi so I was lucky to witness that the King of Qin acted in order to protect His Majesty."

At the court meeting, there was a lot of support, the emperor can't be angry with King Qin, how could the emperor blame King Qin!

Just wanting to scold them because of Zhao Jie's matter, Shen Yuzhu got ridiculed: "..."

You guys are awesome!

In the end, Old Madam Zhong, who had seen through everything, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, please calm down. His Highness King Qin is absent from the court meeting today. Before the court meeting, the old minister heard from Dr. Yushi that the King of Qin occasionally felt cold. Ruochen waited to visit one by one. I am afraid that it will disturb King Qin's recuperation. The old minister would like to invite His Majesty's acting ministers to visit, and hope His Majesty will allow it."

Shen Yuzhu: "Sure."

Xie Yuan didn't go to the Chaohui. When he woke up in the morning, his head was groggy, so he didn't get up at all. He took leave from the Chaohui and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he saw a familiar figure beside the bed. Shen Yuzhu helped him sit up, put on his coat, and put a hot stove in his hand.

Xie Yuanshi held the hand stove and asked reflexively: "Have you finished approving the memorial?"

Shen Yuzhu: "..."

"I'll take care of you, is it appropriate for you to say this the first sentence you see me?"

Xie Yuanshi felt a little guilty, but rationally said that it was very appropriate for him to say this.

The first time Shen Yuzhu took care of him after he ascended the throne, he scared all the officials in the court and the public to death. He didn't go to the court for a month, and Shen Yuzhu didn't even read the papers to express his feelings, and handed them over to the cabinet to reject them.

When Xie Yuanshi fell ill for the second time, the second day after Shen Yuzhu came to Qin Palace, the concierge was full of tonics sent by officials from all over the court. He was afraid that if he was sick for a few more days, Shen Yuzhu would ignore them again.

Shen Yuzhu took over the medicine that was still hot, and fed him with a spoon, "If you don't want them to visit you one by one, get well soon."

"I was rushed to visit you by civil and military officials today."

Xie Yuanshi was puzzled, Shen Yuzhu told him what happened at the court meeting today, Xie Yuanshi laughed almost to tears, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone too."

Shen Yuzhu's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Who made you sick today?"

Xie Yuanshi lowered his head and took a sip from his hand, it was very bitter, but he never resisted taking medicine. "I just caught a cold, it's nothing serious."

Shen Yuzhu scooped up another spoonful and handed it over, and asked with a leisurely smile, "Is it all right?"

Xie Yuanshi didn't dare to answer his question of "Although I'm laughing, but if you dare to say that I'm unhappy, you're out of luck", took the medicine bowl from him, and drank it in one gulp.

"It's not because you're here. I might be fine tomorrow."

Shen Yuzhu held an empty bowl with a spoon in his hand, and while putting the bowl on the table beside the bed, he said, "Well, I'm here to guard your house, so you don't need me to feed the medicine."

Xie Yuanshi: "..."

"Are you angry?"

Shen Yuzhu glanced at him: "Why? Why do you miss me so much?"

"How could I be angry because you caught a cold and catch a cold? How could I be angry because you drove me away as soon as we met? How could I be angry because you were slandered and wronged and didn't tell me?"

"What's so angry about this, how can I be so stingy?"

Xie Yuanshi: "..."

Oh.

Your Majesty, you are really broad-minded.
