Xie Xiang

The emperor gave up his thoughts of going on a personal conquest, and all the ministers were relieved. They don't have to worry about the border war situation, but also have to spare their minds to deal with her.

However, Liu Zao wanted to do a full set of plays, and she seemed unwilling, because she was forced by Prime Minister Xie to prevent her from making the trip, so she met Prime Minister Xie these few times when she went up or played. , she was all cold-faced, and she had no good voice.Seeing this, all the ministers sighed secretly that it was not easy for the prime minister.

Especially Li Wen, Zong Zhengqing complained to him in private, "Your Majesty is fine with everything, but it is a pity that occasionally he will be messed up. It was one time to discuss posthumous titles before, and another time to personally conquest. Fortunately, she can still listen to the prime minister's advice." Persuasion, it's just that the prime minister offends Yan and remonstrates directly, so that His Majesty will not be bored, and if things go on like this, it may be difficult to end well."

Zong Zhengqing is a relative of the Liu family, and has a marquis in him, and he doesn't have close acquaintances with any party on weekdays, but because he didn't like the empress dowager's rebellion with Liang Ji's relatives in the past, and also couldn't get used to the licentiousness of the king of Changyi when he was in power, Blindly relying on Sun Ciqing instead of having his own opinion, so in his private heart he prefers Xie Yi, who helped the young lord to stand up more.

Seeing the rift between the prime minister and the emperor now, he couldn't help feeling sorry.

Li Wen looked a little weird, but kept silent.

Zong Zhengqing had a good personal relationship with him, but seeing that he neither reciprocated nor refuted, but his complexion was pale, and even his beard showed indifference, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "I forgot, you are here with Mrs. Xie." There's still a quarrel."

It's no secret that Li Wen prided himself on being the emperor's teacher and wanted to be the prime minister.Zong Zhengqing guessed that they had known each other for many years, and it didn't matter if they joked a few words, so he joked, "It's a good thing for the emperor to have a rift with the public. I'm here, and I wish the public can get his wish as soon as possible."

The corner of Li Wen's mouth trembled, he couldn't express his pain.If only he could get what he wanted as soon as possible, the prime minister and the emperor quickly repented, and then established the emperor's husband and heir as soon as possible, even if he didn't become the prime minister, he would have no regrets.After all, it is too painful for the two of them to be so stalemate, and a woman still has a home to return to.

But no one can say this.

Li Wen bid farewell to Zong Zhengqing full of worries, and returned to the mansion, the guests came to report, and the young master had a letter.

Li Lin was appointed as the county magistrate by the emperor early in the morning, and she was released from Beijing.Although the county magistrate is not a county official, judging from Li Lin's age, he has a bright future.Li Wen was quite happy, and ordered someone to organize the place and send his granddaughter out of Beijing.As a result, Li Lin didn't think about how to assist the county guard and manage a county, and often sent letters to the capital to inquire about the situation in the palace and seek opportunities to return to the capital, but she was still obsessed with it.

Li Wen was so angry that at this moment she heard another letter, and he didn't even bother to ask what was written in the letter, and said coldly, "Don't bother."

On the surface, Liu Zao treated Xie Yi very coldly, as if blaming her for spoiling her good deeds and making her miss a good opportunity to make contributions, but in fact she was quite disturbed.

Xie Yi knew her intentions, she didn't really want to conquer her personally, but wanted to make people think that only the prime minister could persuade her, and as time went on, the prime minister's status was naturally transcendent and respected by the people.

Only in this way, her reputation will inevitably be damaged, and the ministers dare not say it out of their mouths, but they will inevitably curse in their hearts.

Liu Zao didn't care about these things. She didn't care how the history of thousands of years was written or how the posterity would comment. She only cared that she could hold hands with Xie Yi once in this life, even if it was only once.

Thank you for your attention.

Thanking the prime minister that day, her reputation was damaged, and she was too wronged.

She was a little flustered at that time, and abruptly changed the topic, unwilling to talk in depth.But if you don't talk about it, you won't be here anymore.

As soon as she thought about it, she slowed down reading the memorabilia, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the lamps and candles were more than half burned, and there were still more than ten scrolls of bamboo slips piled up beside her.Hu Ao looked at the hourglass, walked to the imperial case, and said respectfully, "It's getting late, Your Majesty should rest."

Liu Zao was upset, wondering whether Prime Minister Xie thought she was acting inappropriately, and hearing his noise, frowned and reprimanded, "Don't bother me."

Hu Ao was startled when he was reprimanded, but he didn't dare to contradict him, so he had to retreat aggrievedly.

Distraught, Liu Zao flipped through it casually, and found a roll of bamboo slips, which were presented by the frontier city. The frontier army has repeatedly won many battles, and the generals also want to ask for credit for their subordinates.At present, the credit is determined according to the number of heads. There are express regulations on beheading a level, how much money will be awarded, and how many levels can be awarded.Therefore, rather than asking for credit, it is better to say that this is a report of several battles in one place.

Liu Zao glanced at it, and his mood suddenly became clearer. These few battles were fought really well, and the great man is so powerful that he must have become famous in the Western Regions.The Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, and the remaining battles were easier to fight.

Liu Zao continued to read, but saw that at the end there was an autograph of Xie Yi, the word Xie Yi was elegant and restrained, and there was a line of small characters at the bottom, which said it was presented to His Majesty the Emperor.

Many matters in the country are dealt with by the prime minister with his staff and Jiuqing, and will not be reported to the emperor's desk.After all, the nine states in the world are vast and boundless. If you have to report everything to the emperor, even if you don't eat or drink, even twelve hours a day will not be enough.Therefore, when the subordinates deal with it, they feel that it is necessary to report to the emperor, or if the subordinates disagree greatly and cannot make a decision, they will report it to the emperor.

Underneath the latter will be the signature of the prime minister, and will be attached with a small word "Shanghai His Majesty the Emperor".

Liu Zao's gaze was attracted by the word Xie Yi, and he looked at it intently, and gently stroked the word "Xie Yi" with his fingertips.

This is Xie Xiang's handwriting.A person's handwriting can actually reveal a lot, even if the same person's handwriting is different in different periods.Two years ago, Mr. Xie's handwriting was correct, but it exuded a sharp and resolute air, and the momentum was compelling. Today, each stroke is more restrained, showing a gentle appearance.

At that time, she had to carry a lot of things by herself, so she had to be aggressive and courageous. Now that she has to share the burden, Prime Minister Xie doesn't have to force himself to argue with others.

She is actually an indifferent person inside.Otherwise, how could he have resigned so easily when he taught her to pester her too much?

Liu Zao looked at Xie Yi's handwriting and recalled many things, big and small, but all of them had the face of Xie Yi.Thank you for being here.Liu Zao thought, she can talk to Xie Xiang.

When the wind blew outside the window, the shadow of the candle swayed, as if the handwriting was blurred. Liu Zao hurriedly used his hands to shield the candle from the wind, and his eyes still fell on the bamboo slip with nostalgia.Hu Ao was on the sidelines, so he noticed that the breeze was blowing the candlelight.

While ordering people to close the window, he stepped forward to shield the emperor from the wind.However, the wide sleeves blocked the wind, but also cast a shadow, making the words on the bamboo slips completely unclear.

Liu Zao paused, then looked up at him coldly.

Hu Ao was startled, and quickly stepped aside.The light shone again, his eyes swept away quietly, and seeing the name of Xie Xiang on the bamboo slips, he became more and more still like a chilling cicada, daring not to make a sound.

Liu Zao raised the pen, followed Xie Yi, and wrote a correct word, then put it away and put it aside.

Afterwards, she became much more focused, and within half an hour, she disposed of the rest of the memorials, got up and went back to her bedroom.

Even though Prime Minister Xie looked forward and backward, worrying about whether her actions were appropriate and would make Prime Minister Xie unhappy, Prime Minister Xie could always encourage her and make her concentrate on political affairs.

She can act foolishly, but she can never let the power fall aside, so political affairs cannot be ignored.

She can't stay up all night, she has to rest on time and take care of her body.Xie Xiang has a genius doctor to take care of her, and she also has many medical officers watching out for her.Whether it is Xie Xiang or her, the most important thing to grow old is a healthy body.

Except for these two, the rest can be discussed tomorrow.

Liu Zao lay down on the bed and closed her eyes, she was still worried that Xie Xiang would not agree with what she did.She tried her best not to panic, and recalled over and over again that Xie Xiangzi had told her that day, she was also afraid, she was also waiting, and she was also impatient.

This is the time Xie Xiang confided in his half-dream and half-awake the time he fell from the horse.It was this sentence that gave her confidence.As long as she agrees with Xie, she doesn't believe that anything can't be done.

So self-motivated, it didn't take long, and he fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next day there was a great court, Liu Zao thought in his heart, because of the personal conquest, he had been cold in front of the ministers for more than ten days, and yesterday's request for meritorious service contained the merits of Xie Wen, which was quite eye-catching, and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of it , pretending to eliminate the quarrel with Xie Xiang.

She also didn't want to always face Xie Xiang coldly, she still wanted to have a smile with her.

Thinking in this way, facing up, Liu Zao praised Xie Wen, and spared no effort, "If I really live up to my expectations, I will reward him generously when he returns triumphantly in the future." It is my Zhongqing!"

Xie Wen's trip was really impressive, but comparing him to Wei Zhongqing is obviously an overstatement.But which emperor doesn't want famous ministers to cheer him up?Xie Wen is a leader in the younger generation, and the emperor is pleased that with such a bold statement, the ministers will never touch her, and they will follow her.Because Xie Yi was in the hall, the ministers couldn't help but congratulate her. With this nephew, there will be successors.

Liu Zao always pricked up his ears, waiting for this sentence, immediately looked over and said with a smile, "The Qing family is well educated."

Xie Yi honored His Majesty according to the etiquette.

After saying that, he raised his head and happened to meet Xie Yi's eyes, Liu Zao blinked very secretly, and bent the corner of his lips with her.Xie Yi smiled, even his eyes were stained with a slight smile.

Liu Zao felt his heart skip a beat, and for some reason remembered the handwriting on the melody last night.Elegant and gentle, graceful and divine.She also thought of Xie Xiang's slightly panting appearance when he was in her arms.She immediately blushed at the tips of her ears, fearing that there would be an opening, she didn't dare to look at Xie Yi anymore.

Next, the ministers discussed other matters, and Liu Zao listened carefully.Once every half a month, the court returns, and any matter that can be raised at the court must be a major issue related to the people's livelihood.She doesn't distract herself, listens intently, and thinks intently.

After discussing the matter, Liu Zao freed himself up, and Fang casually looked at Xie Yi.Xie Yi was no longer looking at her.This is reasonable, after all, there is no prime minister who has been staring at the emperor.But Liu Zao still felt a little disappointed, and she felt very sorry, just now Xie Xiang smiled, it was very beautiful, but unfortunately she was thinking wildly, so guilty, she didn't have time to look at it for a while.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a little annoyance in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed.A minister came out, Liu Zao turned his eyes to look at that person, but did not see the deep smile in Xie Yi's eyes.

It was almost noon when the court was over.

Li Wen walked towards the outside of the palace slowly, Zong Zhengqing hurriedly caught up with him, and looked around.

With his appearance, one can tell at a glance that he has something to discuss.Li Wen stopped and said to him, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Zong Zhengqing laughed and said, "Your Majesty can hear how His Majesty praised Xie Wen?"

When Li Wen heard this, his smile disappeared.Zong Zhengqing didn't notice it yet, and said happily, "Because of Xie Wen, Your Majesty is smiling at the Prime Minister today."

Li Wen was silent, but what he thought was that His Majesty had been angry for several days, and it was almost time to calm down, and there was no rush to thank him these few days, maybe it was just a little sulking between the two of them, and it didn't matter much.

"Young hero, who doesn't love it? I think there may be some clues this time." Zong Zhengqing said with a smile.

Li Wen also felt reasonable when he heard it, these days, he has been thinking all the time, how could he fall in love with a woman, he was completely puzzled, and for a moment he forgot that His Majesty will get married after all.

He was overjoyed, and was about to agree, when he suddenly thought that it might not be that easy.His Majesty just came to His Majesty, and he looked at Prime Minister Xie several times.Seeing Zong Zhengqing's smiling face, he was immediately filled with sorrow, but he couldn't say these words, he felt very tight in his chest, and sighed, "Your Majesty's mind, as a minister, how can you see through it."

Zong Zhengqing disagreed with "Gongsu attaches great importance to His Majesty's marriage. Although he has been frustrated repeatedly, he is still not discouraged. Now that he has a clue, how can he speak of frustration?"

Li Wen couldn't explain it to him, so he gave Zong Zhengqing a reproachful look with a look of "what do you know", and left first.
