Xie Xiang

The car continued to drive.

Liu Zao held Xie Yi's hand in his palm, lowered his head and breathed, rubbed her warm, and said, "I thought it was time for you to come back, so I came to greet you. The Xiangfu's clothes are all packed up and brought into the palace? Why don't you Don't add a suit?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion is still Xie Yi's mansion, but now it should be renamed Gonghou's Mansion.Since it is her residence, it is self-sufficient, but Xie Yi is eager to return, so she has no time to add clothes.

"It's not cold in the car." Xie Yi said calmly.

Liu Zao held her hand tightly, not believing it: "It's obviously cold." After speaking, he put her hand in his arms and covered it.

Her arms were warm, Xie Yi was held by her, and asked her if she had eaten at noon, if she had taken any soup or medicine.Liu Zao answered carefully, frowned and complained to her: "The soup is extremely bitter, it must be because the imperial doctor ordered me to reprimand him yesterday, and added coptis to the medicine."

What she is currently using is tonic, for the purpose of strengthening the foundation and strengthening the vitality.

The imperial doctor's order made her sick so much that her hair turned half gray. She wished she could take all the great nourishing things in the world and serve His Majesty.He is only worried that His Majesty thinks the medicine is bitter and refuses to use it well. After three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, the medicine will lose its properties, so how dare he add Coptis chinensis to it.

Xie Yi shook her head, but did not speak.Sure enough, Liu Zao's next sentence was: "I'm already cured, let the medical officers go back to the Imperial Medical Office, and there is no need to use any more medicine."

The decoction is bitter and bitter, she doesn't like to use it, when she was sick a few days ago, she drank it to recover from her illness, but now she is well, alive and kicking again, she is not willing to take it again.Since yesterday, she has been eager to send several medical officers stationed in the side hall back to the Imperial Medical Office, but she refused to allow it.

Xie Yi was afraid that she would continue to entangle her, she must be even more unhappy to see those medical officers, so she simply changed the topic and said, "How is the situation in the palace today?"

As soon as Liu Zao heard about the business, she put aside her petty emotions, said with a heavy expression, "It's not good. Those who came here are all small fish and shrimps, three gongs and nine nobles, and those whose official rank is more than two thousand stones. No one came."

"It seems that when His Majesty dealt with Sun Ciqing, he was too tyrannical and shocked them." Xie Yi's tone was light.Although she is in the harem, His Majesty likes to discuss matters with her in the previous court, so he knows about it.Although Sun Ciqing's case was handled tyrannically, the people involved, the crimes committed, and the evidence and witnesses were all clearly listed, and no one was wronged.

Liu Zao didn't care at all, as if he was fearless: "Anyway, it's resistance. It's better to be so quiet now than to be noisy."

Xie Yi wasn't afraid either, the situation was already clear.If the ministers had a way, they wouldn't avoid talking about it like they are doing now.It is nothing more than the fact that there is nothing to do with the emperor, and he dare not stand out, lest he follow in Sun Ciqing's footsteps.But if they want to accept that Xie Yi is in the harem and take pictures of the court affairs, they are not quite willing.

So unable to advance or retreat, they had no choice but to avoid it, pretending not to know.

When the ministers objected loudly with one voice, they were not afraid, but now they can deal with it more easily.Xie Yi also talked about the situation of leaving the palace today.

Over the past 16 years, Xie Dang has been eliminated several times, and now those who are relied on are all capable and loyal.There was no news of Xie Yi's entry into the palace for several months, and Xie's party lost its leader, so it was unavoidable to panic, today Xie Yi summoned them, and everyone rushed to Gonghou's mansion to listen to her orders.

When Liu Zao heard this, he couldn't help being envious: "It's better to be your person."

Xie Yi's hand was already warmed up, Liu Zao was reluctant to let go, and still held her hand, Xie Yi didn't struggle, and she held it.Hearing her words, I know that His Majesty has committed the chronic disease of "Thank you for everything".Her confidantes, not to mention the mainstay of Li Wenzhi, there are also many talented and loyal ministers under her.

The palace chariot moved forward, and the sound of the wheels wafted faintly into the chariot.

Xie Yi explained the situation with a few short sentences, and when the two of them parted one day, everything they had done was explained clearly.

The bedroom has not yet arrived.

Liu Zao suddenly said, "It's really far away."

She has lived in Weiyang Palace for more than ten years, but today she suddenly dislikes Lu Yuanlai.Xie Yi naturally stroked her hair, and said to her, "It's coming soon."

Liu Zao turned his lower body, leaned on Xie Yi, and said softly: "They don't make a sound, and we just don't know what to do, so we do what we should do." Let's talk about everything after going through it one by one, Liu Zao's voice After getting cold again, she said, "I'd like to have a look, but right now they are afraid to make a sound. In a few days, I will..." The word "Lihou" swirled around in her mouth, swallowed it again, and said, " Are they obstructing, or are they still holding back."

I don't know what's going on, maybe I have been preparing for a long time, and this matter has been in my heart for a long time. The word Lihou seems to have a layer of holy light in Liu Zao's heart, even though she knows the purpose is this, but she is very nervous It's hard to get those two words out of my mouth.It seems that once you say it, the sanctity of the word will be destroyed; and some wishes will not work when you say it. This is the persistence of the child's heart.

Seeing her skipping over the word Li Hou in a serious manner, Xie Yi was both amused and moved, she lowered her head and kissed the back of Liu Zao's hand.

Liu Zao immediately sat upright and looked at her nervously, Xie Yi softened and smiled with her.

There was a numb feeling belatedly on the back of her hand, Liu Zao felt the joy spread in her heart, the corners of her eyes were curved, showing a smile and soft attachment.

Back to the dormitory, the memorial has been delivered.

Today's memorial is still reviewed by Xie Yi.It accumulates in a day, until late at night, and can't finish it.Liu Zao originally wanted to accompany her, but Xie Yi was afraid that she would burn out, so she had to go to rest first.Liu Zao couldn't help but refused to leave, so he just nestled down on the couch in the study and fell asleep.

Today's memorials seem to be extraordinarily numerous.Xie Yi had been running around for a day and was already tired, so she read them one by one until Yin Shi was approaching, so she read all the bamboo slips that were half a person's height.

She stood up, only feeling sore all over.

Liu Zao was nestled on the couch, already sound asleep, Xie Yi's eyes fell on her, the aches and pains on her body seemed to disappear in an instant, and she couldn't feel it anymore, she walked over to the couch.

Before going to bed, Liu Zao sleeps in a flat-lying position, but at this time he has already slept so that his whole body is curled up, and his sleeping appearance is very peaceful.Xie Yi looked at her for a long time, and she always felt that even if it was just a cute sleeping face, she would never tire of seeing her for many years, and on the contrary, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Liu Zao moved his arms, woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and saw Xie Yi, and muttered, "Mr. Xie, go to sleep." After saying that, he moved in again, and made a large space on the outside.

This couch is for resting, it's very small, it's roomy for one person, but it's too crowded for two people, Xie Yi originally wanted to go back to the bedroom, seeing that she gave up the seat next to her, she couldn't bear to just leave, so she relieved He took off his outer robe, took off the hairpin ring, and lay down beside her.

Tired all over, I fell asleep on the pillow.Xie Yi fell into a deep sleep and had a dream.

The scene in the dream is quite virtual, it is the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Zao is on the throne, and the ministers below stand respectfully.Xie Yi seemed to be hanging in the air, watching like an outsider.

As if it was a great dynasty, the ministers spoke freely and talked high-spiritedly.Xie Yi couldn't hear exactly what they said, but could only see the expressions on everyone's faces.She looked at His Majesty, His Majesty's expression was very pale, and no matter what he said, he just responded casually.

Xie Yi had been immersed in the temple for decades, so she didn't need to listen to what they said, just by watching the changes in their expressions, she knew which side had the upper hand.Because of Liu Zao's presence, she was concerned, so she looked very carefully, not missing a single bit of the expressions on everyone's faces.After watching for a long time, she realized that His Majesty had the upper hand and firmly suppressed the minister.

Xie Yi felt relieved, and then, her attention was all on Liu Zao, she looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.His Majesty looked indifferent, but there was disgust and alienation hidden in his eyes.The feeling of disgust has gradually surfaced, as if he is too lazy to hide it.She also looked at her courtiers very coldly, as if she was bored with them, even with resentment and resentment.

Xie Yi was in a hurry, this was clearly a sign that the monarch and his subjects were separated.

She was very worried, thinking that it was difficult to talk in the hall, and after the court was over, she would ask Mengmeng what happened and why she was so unhappy.

But this grand court seems to have no end, no matter how much she waits, she can't wait for the court to end.The emperor's eyes became colder and colder, and the ministers under him became more and more panicked.Above the first hall, the monarch and his ministers are separated.Xie Yi watched impatiently, but it was useless.

She woke up from the dream unexpectedly, and knew it was a dream as soon as she woke up.Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Liu Zao was still lying beside her before dawn, and at some point, his arms were on her body, half embracing her.

He shouldn't have slept for long.After a short sleep, I feel even more tired.She closed her eyes, trying to sleep again, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.The scene from the dream came to her mind.Xie Yi knew some ways to interpret dreams, but she didn't know where to start to interpret this dream.

She recalled the dream several times, and suddenly found that the situation in the dream was somewhat similar to that of Chao Shang now.His Majesty has steadily suppressed the ministers, but is extremely dissatisfied with the ministers, and is increasingly alienated from them.

Because of the affairs of the queen, not only His Majesty, but also her. Over the years, all the officials have been placed on the opposite side to deal with it.In the past few years, they have calculated how many times, how the ministers will respond, how they will persecute, and how they will suppress and gain the upper hand.

Countless calculations, and after self-reliance, the ministers opposed it openly and secretly. Seeing it with their own eyes and subtly influencing it, they naturally opposed the ministers in their hearts.

This is already a sign of alienation between the monarch and his ministers. His Majesty has repeatedly shown his disgust and dislike towards the ministers on weekdays.

Xie Yi opened her eyes, Liu Zao's breath hit her ear lightly, she slept soundly, completely unaware that Xie Yi had another worry on her mind.Xie Yi leaned her head against Liu Zao and closed her eyes again.

Mostly, they have accumulated a lot of money, and they have done all the preparations, suppressing the princes and kings, controlling the military power, and appeasing the people. Therefore, although the implementation of the post-establishment is difficult, it can be called smooth.

Xie Yi counted the progress silently, if there is still no response from the important officials within three days, His Majesty will definitely make a big step forward.

Everything is going well.

In this way, after the matter is completed, it is time to close the gap between His Majesty and the minister.Otherwise, letting the monarch and his subjects renounce will inevitably plant all kinds of hidden dangers.

Xie Yi thought about it, and suddenly laughed.If it was back then, she would not have been able to be so calm when she found out that there was a rift between His Majesty and the minister, thinking about what would happen after the matter was accomplished.Most of them will take immediate measures to keep the name of His Majesty Yingren alive.

But now, what she thinks about is to make amends after the matter is done.These years, she tried her best to be upright and impartial, thinking of assisting the king, thinking of protecting Li Shu, thinking about her and Mengmeng, she must be on the safe side, and not hurt the common people because of them.

But in the end, she was still selfish after all.
