Xie Xiang

Liu Zao saw Xie Yi from a distance once, and went back to the palace in a daze, sat down in the hall of Xuanshi, saw the bamboo slips, and suddenly found something to rely on.

The prime minister was injured, so he didn't go to the court, but after a long time, the injury healed, and it would be inappropriate not to go to the court.In a few days, she will definitely come.

Liu Zao took the top volume of bamboo slips, which was sent by Changle County to govern the spring plowing.The bamboo slices are polished and baked to make them smooth and shiny.Liu Zao held it in his hand, and involuntarily rubbed the scroll of bamboo slips with his fingertips.

The matter of spring plowing is almost spring.She turned her head to look out the window, it was dusk outside the window, the sky was gray, the wind was strong, and it was still bitterly cold.Liu Zao stood up and walked to the window, and saw that although the weather was cold, the ginkgo tree in front of the window had already sprouted green buds, and it was still full of vitality in the cold weather.

Liu Zao was distracted for a while, and couldn't help but think that if it hadn't happened, in the next month, when the spring will be stronger, she could have walked with Xie Xiang in the spring.It is heard that every spring, the Wuzhaoyuan is full of vitality and the scenery is beautiful, and tourists come and go like weaving. One side is connected to the Weishui River, which has clear waves and can be used for fishing on the shore.

It's a pity that it's all empty talk now.Liu Zao stayed for a while, then returned to the case and sat down, opened the slips and slips on the case one by one to read, thought carefully, and made a reply.

I have read all the books to be played, and it is almost midnight.

Although Xie Yi has not yet returned to power, he has already sent many memorials to the palace, asking the emperor to read them. After Liu Zao got started these days, he realized that being an emperor can be lazy. Cause chaos in the world.But in this way, it is rare that the officials are unclear, deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, the king's saints are deceived, and the people below are subject to the tyranny of cruel officials.

But if the government is diligent, the people will live better, and the emperor will work hard, and he may not be praised.Liu Zao didn't rest until the child's day, and the playbooks he read every day were enough for the car, and he also had to meet with ministers to discuss important matters.In the past two days, some ministers were not very happy because one incident benefited the people's livelihood and damaged the officials.

Liu Zao had no choice but to learn to grasp the degree, not only to balance ministers and ministers, but also to balance ministers and common people.This matter is very difficult, and she is afraid that she will have to learn for many years.

Five days later, it coincided with the Great Dynasty.

Liu Zao changed the crown and went to the front hall.The ministers in the palace stood in order, and when they saw the emperor coming, they saluted together.Liu Zao walked through the hall and headed for the imperial seat, and at the same time looked to the front to see if Xie Yi had come.

From looking up to seeing that person, it was only a moment, but Liu Zao felt that this glance seemed to pass through time, and it was so long that it made people feel mixed.

Walking to Xie Yi's side, Liu Zao stopped, turned slightly sideways, facing Xie Yi, and asked in a warm voice: "Mr. Xie is healed from his injury?"

When the ministers heard the sound, they all looked this way.

Xie Yi's voice was flat and unwavering, and she replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I'm fine now."

Liu Zao wanted to say something, but felt that it was not good to say anything, so he paused for a few breaths, and finally moved forward.

Today's dynasty is dominated by the prime minister.I don't know how many crimes committed by Liang Jimen's family members have been uncovered, and two of the family's children have been arrested and imprisoned.Liang Ji knew that he was going to get rid of his minions first, and then cut his wings, and then it was time to question him.Naturally, he refused to sit still and try his best to protect the sect.

But since Xie Yi has come, she has her own plan.When the court was over, Liang Ji lost two more confidants.

Liu Zao didn't talk much, just quietly watched Xie Yi's actions, learning her methods and strategies.But seeing Liang Ji's decline, Liu Zao felt that something was wrong, and when the court was over, she made a special noise in front of people to make Xie Yi stay.

The officials watched from the sidelines, Xie Yi didn't want to openly disobey, so he followed Liu Zao out of the hall.

There were palace chariots waiting outside the palace, Liu Zao felt uneasy, and wanted to announce that the palace was solemn and dull, and it was not suitable for conversation, so why not just walk on the palace road.With a wave of her hand, she made the palace chariot retreat, and looked at Hu Ao again, signaling him not to follow too closely.Hu Ao understood, and led dozens of palace people, retreated ten steps away, leaving room for His Majesty and the Prime Minister.

After Liu Zao made arrangements, she turned around and wanted to talk to Xie Yi, but seeing her face so close, she couldn't help being a little crazy again.

Seeing this, Xie Yi suddenly felt disgusted, and said lightly: "Why do you want to keep your ministers, Your Majesty?"

Seeing her cold gaze, Liu Zao felt pain in his heart, forced his lips to bend, and said, "I have something to discuss with my aunt in private."

She still called her aunt.Xie Yi looked at her, his eyes still indifferent: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Liu Zao actually wanted to ask her how the injury on her arm was doing.The medical officer once said that the injury was too deep and the bone was scraped, it would take at least three months to heal, and scars would be left behind, but right now it hasn't even been two months.Liu Zao couldn't help worrying about Guan, but she knew that Prime Minister Xie might not want to see her care, so she held back and talked about the business: "It's about the Empress Dowager. Liang Ji is at the end of his battle, and the defeat is hard to come by. Today, my aunt has killed both of him again." My confidant, Liang Ji is hit hard again, it is conceivable that everyone will fall into trouble next time."

This was natural, Xie Yi had never struck with a thunderbolt, but wanted to boil Liang Ji's power like a frog in warm water, and then take it down in one fell swoop, without any effort, and also avoided the turmoil in the court.

She didn't know why the emperor told her this obvious thing, but she didn't show any impatience.One of the advantages of the emperor is that he never delays the business. She has kept her here and raised the matter solemnly, so she has her own reasons.

"This fire is getting hotter and hotter, and it must burn on the Queen Mother." Liu Zao turned to face Xie Yi, and seriously put forward his thoughts, "After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, even if guilty, and my aunt is a subject, it is inconvenient to hold her accountable, why not Leave it to me, and I will deal with her."

Xie Yi did not expect that she had thought so far.

Since ancient times, the queen mother has caused chaos, and it is not easy to deal with it.If she attacks the queen mother, even if the queen mother has done it, she will inevitably leave a stain on her, but will the emperor have nothing to worry about when he disposes of the queen mother?

Qin Shihuang hated his mother so much. After disposing of Lai Ai and Lu Buwei and exiling the queen mother to Yongdi, he heard people say, "Qin Fang regards the world as his business, and the king has the name of moving his mother to the queen mother. He is afraid that the princes will hear about it. Qin Ye." I had no choice but to welcome the Queen Mother back to Xianyang to serve her well.

Needless to say, there is no need to repeat the anecdote about Zheng Zhuanggong and his mother Jiang's "not going to the underworld, not seeing each other".

The emperor succeeded Emperor Zhao, at least on the surface, it was the queen mother who ordered her to be established, and she should serve the queen mother more attentively, otherwise she would be ungrateful and would be infamous.

Xie Yi said: "I have my own opinion on this matter."

This is disagreement.Liu Zao was anxious, and hurriedly said: "I know that my aunt is capable, and she will be able to deal with it properly. But if you offend the name of the superior, you can do it if you can."

Xie Yi's expression sank, and his tone changed from cold to stern. Looking at Liu Zao, he said, "I support you, not for you, but for the spirit of the empress and prince. I want you to be the emperor, to cleanse you." The grievance between the two made the imperial line belong to the crown prince. Before you did anything, you want to stain yourself with stigma, and you think it is for my own good?"

Liu Zao didn't expect to attract such stern words from her, his face turned pale in an instant, and the calmness he managed to maintain on his face collapsed, his eyes were full of bewilderment and injury.

Xie Yi made eye contact with her, and there was a stalk in his heart, he turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look into her eyes again.She had run out of words, it was useless to stay any longer, and she was about to leave.

Just as she took a step, the little emperor hurriedly grabbed her sleeve.Xie Yi frowned and looked down at her hands.Her gaze was very cold, the little emperor's hand seemed to have been scalded, he quickly let go of it, put his back behind him, and clenched it uneasily.

"What else is there?" Xie Yi's tone was full of boredom.

She has never talked to her like this, even at the beginning, when she played the role of a powerful minister, it was mostly teasing, not like this now, as if it was unnecessary to look at her.

Liu Zao lowered his eyes, and said bitterly: "I bear the infamy and stigma, and I can also clear up the grievances of my ancestors, and also make the emperor's line belong to the prince. There is no hindrance between the two. My aunt's words to stab me are just In order to draw a line with me."

She saw it, and Xie Yi didn't refute it.

"If there hadn't been such a thing, my aunt would have persuaded me, but it must be gentle persuasion, and she would be worried about my uneasiness, and comforted me softly." Liu Zao smiled, a little nostalgic, but also regretful, but the copper lamp has been thanked. Seeing it, it is useless to regret it.Liu Zao went on to say: "It doesn't matter if you speak harshly or gently persuade, in short, my aunt is doing it for my own good, and I know if she wants to bear a bad name on my behalf."

Xie Yi looked at her and frowned.

Liu Zao's expression gradually turned firm: "I'm in charge of this matter. My aunt supports me because I'm the blood of the two ancestors. If it wasn't for the blood flowing from my body, you might not even bother to look at me. But Even if you entrust your ancestors to protect you, it is true that you treat me well, and it is true that you have devoted your heart and soul to me. I am not sensible, and it is my fault to let my aunt down. You are angry and do not want to talk to me, but you should of."

Xie Yi's eyes were still cold, without any expression of emotion.

Liu Zao also knew that it would be wishful thinking to convince Xie Xiang with just a few words, but she still wanted to give it a try after all, she did not want to be alienated from Xie Xiang.

Liu Zao paused, thinking that everything started from that copper lamp, if he didn't mention it, he would avoid embarrassment, but this matter would just stay between them and could not be resolved.

How did my aunt miss her when she saw the lamp?But thought she was deviant, coveted her elders, and was Meng Lang's lewd person?She must also feel offended and ashamed, and hate her so much.

Liu Zao opened her eyes, feeling that it was hard to speak, Xie Yi's indifference and alienation were like a knife piercing her heart.Liu Zao plucked up his courage, endured his shame, and said slowly: "The copper lamp was cast when I didn't know the past."

It was because of the maidservant of the Queen Mother that she knew her feelings for Prime Minister Xie.The servant girl is more delicate than Xie Xiang, and because of her humble status, she can play around with her wantonly. In addition, the next day, the Queen Mother said to her about pulling on the dragon bed. Thank you for that.

Liu Zao didn't tell the reason, and shirked it to the Queen Mother.She only blamed herself for not being determined. If she was determined, it would be useless to try to seduce her later.

But her feelings for Xie Xiang are not fake.Liu Zao's cheeks were flushed, and her voice lowered: "After knowing the past, I respect and love my aunt, and I have absolutely no intention of profane, and I have never entered the quiet room again."

Seeing her ashamed appearance, Xie Yi felt that her beloved child suddenly turned bad.Even if what she said is true, and she doesn't mean to be profane after knowing the past, what about knowing the past?

After Liu Zao finished speaking, she looked at Xie Yi, she didn't expect Xie Xiang to forgive her immediately, as long as she could talk to her, it would be good.

Xie Yi opened her mouth, but what she said made Liu Zao lose her mind.

She looked at her with no tenderness on her face, and disgust in her eyes: "Do you know how disgusted I was that day?"

Xie Yi hated her for beating her and didn't want to see her, Liu Zao managed to hold on, but this disgusting sentence seemed to dig out her heart and completely shattered her dignity.She swayed for a while, then hurriedly stabilized herself, Xie Yi was right in front of her eyes, she liked her so much, arranged the Jiaofang Palace for her, and wanted to spend this life with her.

In the past, when Xie Yi glanced at her and smiled at her, she was so happy, but now, Xie Yi was right in front of her eyes, and she looked at her.But Liu Zao wished she could disappear immediately, she didn't dare to look at Xie Yi again, she didn't have anything to say, and walked away in a daze.

Xie Yi looked at her back, the back was in a state of distress, and she was walking very fast, the loose clothes caught her feet, she almost fell, Hu Ao was startled, and hurried to help her, she seemed to stay here for a while. Unbearable for a moment, he pushed Hu Ao away and left in a hurry.

Xie Yi watched her disappear around the corner, and slowly closed her eyes, feeling extremely painful in her heart.

It would be fine if His Majesty could wake up to this and stop dealing with her.
