I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the breeze blowing past Daming Palace was warm, the sun was just right, and there was a bit of verdant spring in the imperial garden.

Yuan Yin, dressed in a black robe, was sitting upright in the pavilion in the imperial garden, writing a New Year's greeting to Mr. Ding'an. A few days ago, apart from going to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors, he sneaked out of the palace and met him again. In the case of the murder of an official ordered by the imperial court, he has not paid New Year's greetings to Mr. Ding'an.

After Yuan Yin finished writing the letter, he blew on the ink, and his eyes fell on the wintersweet plant under the gazebo. Stuffed it into the envelope, put plum blossoms on the envelope, quietly let Xiaoluzi take it out of the palace, and sent food to make it work.

After writing Mr. Ding'an's New Year's greeting letter, Yuan Yin's big event in his heart is considered to be over. Looking at the sun, it is just right, and it is extremely warm. As soon as he walked out of the gazebo with his hands behind his back, he watched the servant bowed his waist and bowed his head to salute. : "His Majesty, Xu Taiwei asks to see you."

Yuan Yin's footsteps paused slightly, he glanced sideways at the waiter, thought for a moment before nodding: "Let's announce."

The servant got the order, and hurriedly stepped back to summon Xu Zheng. Yuan Yin looked at the back of the servant leaving, thinking that there was nothing special in recent days. Want to see him now?

Yuan Yin couldn't figure it out, but based on what he knew about Xu Zheng in his previous life, he also knew that Xu Zheng's coming to him must not be just for New Year's greetings.

Yuan Yin hid his thoughts, and only had the expression that a 15-year-old boy should have. He ordered someone to bring the stove, went back to the pavilion and sat down, watching Xu Zheng striding forward in a crow-blue uniform, with his hair in a bun. It sets off the facial features and outline, making it more handsome.

In the previous life, Yuan Yin also heard from some maids in the palace that this Taiwei Xu was waiting for someone alone, and the one he was waiting for was still a man.

Thinking of the openness of the Wei Dynasty, it is not shameful for many literati to advocate masculinity. There are even small halls in some flower streets and willow lanes. Most of them are young and outstanding teenagers.

Some show off their talents, while others show off their sensuality. After all, they don't need to be cold and cold in the place of fireworks. Regarding these rumors, even if Yuan Yin used Xu Zheng heavily in the previous life, he never heard half of it from him.

The waiter brought hot tea, and Yuan Yin had just picked up the teacup when Xu Zheng came over and bowed to Yuan Yin under the gazebo: "Minister Xu Zheng sees Your Majesty."

"The court is only opened on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Xu Aiqing came to see me at this time. Why?" Yuan Yin sipped the hot tea lightly, and tasted it a little.

"I'm here to ask for an audience, not because of government affairs. Although your majesty is the king of a country, if you are busy with government affairs all year round, I'm afraid your majesty won't be able to take it anymore." Xu Zheng quickly saluted and said respectfully.

Yuan Yin thought about the last time he went out of the palace and announced to meet Xu Zheng, he asked himself not to leave the palace without authorization, but to set an example, why did he say that he should put the dragon body as the most important thing today?Could it be that Xu Zheng has changed his temper?

"Xu Aiqing, you are the assistant minister appointed by the late emperor. I have relied on you and Xiao Yushi a lot in the government affairs. I have not been in charge of the government, so I can't be said to be busy with the government affairs. My health can still take it." Yuan Yinqian He smiled lightly, but never told Xu Zheng to get up.

Xu Zheng also kept bending over, not daring to get up.

Seeing that Ma Wei had given enough, Yuan Yin put down the teacup in his hand: "Xu Aiqing is dead, how can I still do this great gift."

Xu Zheng got the emperor's permission, and then he thanked the grace and stood up, looked up at the appearance of the young emperor, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said respectfully: "The reason why I entered the palace this time is because I know that your majesty and Xiao Yu Shi is studying, I think about the words of Xiao Yushi's family, I am afraid that His Majesty will listen to one side, and today I learned that there is a new teahouse called Sifangguan in the city, which is specially designed to accommodate students who will take the imperial examination this autumn."

"Oh? This is a good thing." Yuan Yin listened to Xu Zheng's words, although his expression was slightly pleased, but he had doubts in his heart. Why did Xu Zheng mention this matter?

"Indeed, this teahouse is also a gathering place for talented people in Beijing on weekdays, talking about poetry and songs, or discussing the people's livelihood in the village. If your majesty is interested, you can go to sit and learn more about people's livelihood." Xu Zheng saluted. , Kan Kan said.

"But Xu Qing said before that I am the emperor of a country, how can I leave the palace without authorization?" Yuan Yin's face darkened, pretending to be serious.

Xu Zheng thought for a while, but his face was a bit ugly, but then he said: "In the past, it was the minister's fault. I was afraid that your majesty would be greedy for the sensuality of the people and forget your identity, so I said so. Later, thinking about it, it was indeed the minister's fault. Your majesty's leaving the palace is a In order to understand the people's sentiments, the minister has repeatedly stopped, it is the minister's fault."

Xu Zheng's attitude was extremely sincere, and Yuan Yin didn't have any reason to refute him, so he got up immediately, gave Xu Zheng a hand, and said: "Xu Qing's heart, I understand that the late emperor let Xu Qing serve as my assistant. It must be a lot of trust, so from now on, I ask Xu Qing to worry a lot."

Yuan Yin raised his hand, in a full-fledged gesture of seeking talents, but he had other plans in his heart.

Xu Zheng entered the palace today to express his closeness to the emperor, Yuan Yin naturally would not hold grudges, and rejected people thousands of miles away. After all, the court still needed him to contain Xiao Rong, the traitor, and waited to get rid of Xiao Rong, and then Ding'an After Mr. took him into court, Xu Zheng could use it according to the situation.

After the conversation, Yuan Yin invited Xu Zheng to stroll around the imperial garden together. Looking at the exotic flowers and plants in the imperial garden, Xu Zheng did not refuse, and followed Yuan Yin with a very respectful posture. Yin talked about the methods of planting various flowers and plants, the fertilizers needed, and the suitable seasons, and Yuan Yin nodded frequently.

He really didn't know that Xu Zheng had studied so much about planting flowers and plants.

"I didn't expect Xu Qing to be so knowledgeable about planting flowers and plants. Presumably there must be more exotic flowers and plants in Xu Qing's mansion?" Yuan Yin said with a smile.

"Where is your majesty, if your majesty likes it, I can dedicate the newly cultivated water orchid to your majesty." Xu Zheng quickly answered with cupped fists.

"A gentleman does not take what others like. Xu Qing is a flower lover, but I am not a good flower lover. Xu Qing should keep it to herself." Yuan Yin stopped and looked at Xu Zheng sideways, with an immature face The gentle smile on the face.

Xu Zheng also agreed with a smile: "It's not that I know flowers, but it takes more time than ordinary gardeners to take care of them with all my heart, so that weeds don't grow in the wrong places and cover up the true colors of flowers, just like this flower gardener. All officials in the DPRK and China have their own positions, and they all perform their duties without interfering with each other."

Listening to what Xu Zheng said, Yuan Yin frowned slightly, and suddenly understood the real reason why Xu Zheng came to see him today.

Speaking of the Sifang Tea House, he also mentioned going out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments, and he talked about how to plant flowers. It turned out that the purpose of going around in a big circle was to be on the various officials and positions in the court. Yuan Yin's frown was only for a moment. Then it resumed as usual:

"From Xu Qing's point of view, someone in the court messed up his position?"

"Your Majesty asked me, and I didn't want to answer." Xu Zheng looked stern, bowed earnestly and said, "I entered the palace today because I heard that Xiao Yushi had intervened in a case that was supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Yamen. Out of good intentions, but after all, the Jingzhao Yamen is in charge of this case, so what Xiao Yushi said this time is really doing something wrong."

Yuan Yin frowned slightly upon hearing Xu Zheng's words, and couldn't help asking: "Which one is Xiao Yushi's meddling in the case of Jingzhao Yamen?"

Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then replied: "I have heard about the murder of Dong Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

Yuan Yin was full of doubts in his heart. He clearly wrote a letter for Xiao Rong to investigate. Even if Jing Zhaoyin was dissatisfied, he should come to see me in person. Why did Xu Zheng talk to him and beat around the bush like this? of.

Moreover, in Xu Zheng's words, he didn't mention that Xiao Rong was carrying the emperor's order to do things. What kind of medicine was sold in this traitor's gourd?

Yuan Yin asked again: "Then Xiao Yushi said why he intervened in this case?"

"I heard that Dong Shilang's wife entrusted Xiao Yushi to help find the murderer of Dong Shilang, so there is nothing else." Xu Zheng said seriously, "Although I have no personal contact with Xiao Yushi, I don't know This Xiao Yushi is so friendly with Dong Shilang, Madam Dong asked him to intervene in this case."

It's not that Yuan Yin didn't understand Xu Zheng's implication, but he didn't understand why Xiao Rong, a traitor who clearly held the emperor's handwriting, still claimed that he was helping Mrs. Dong to reverse Dong Shilang's case. Could it be that the emperor's handwriting was not as good as Mrs. Dong's name?

Thinking this way in Yuan Yin's heart, a trace of dissatisfaction arose in his heart. When the dynasty opened in the future, he must ask this traitor carefully.

"I don't know that Xiao Yushi is so enthusiastic. I know about it. I will summon Xiao Yu to ask for clarification, so Xu Qing doesn't have to worry." Yuan Yin said with a smile: "It's just Xu Qing, you You are also my auxiliary minister, you should also help me in this matter in the court, although Xiao Yushi is now my teacher, but you are equal in the court, and I still rely on you a lot."

Hearing what the emperor said, Xu Zheng lifted his clothes and knelt down on one knee to salute: "I know that in the future, I will live up to your majesty's trust and will do my best to assist your majesty."

"Okay, okay, get up." Yuan Yinxu gave Xu Zheng a hand, and said: "I am the first emperor, if I have done something I shouldn't have done, please ask Xu Qing to remind me."

"The minister obeys the order." Xu Zheng clasped his fists and replied solemnly.

After Xu Zheng left, the imperial garden was much quieter, but what lingered in Yuan Yin's heart was Xiao Rong's intention to intervene in the investigation for another reason.

The emperor clearly ordered him to investigate this matter, so why did he keep it secret? What kind of idea was born in his belly full of bad water?
