I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

The flood in Chongzhou was not over, and the imperial envoy for disaster relief died in Chongzhou again. The wife and children of Zhao He's family were crying bitterly, and Zhao He's wife, He Shi, was even sick. The matter behind him was done properly, but he just waited for the prefect of Chongzhou to send Zhao He's bones back.

Yuan Yin, who returned to the palace from Zhen Guogong's mansion, had been thinking about the matter of Chongzhou, and immediately ordered his cronies to go to Chongzhou to secretly investigate the flood in Chongzhou.

In the Palace of Wende, Yuan Yin was conscientiously flipping through the memorials, one of which was just delivered this morning from the Beiyi Kingdom. The Beiyi Khan Ashinamodo wrote a marriage letter, wishing the two countries to marry each other forever. As a good friend of Qin and Jin, he is willing to marry his own sister, Princess Adan, into Wei.

"Report to Your Majesty, Taiwei Xu is asking to see you." Xiao Luzi said after entering the hall and saluting respectfully.

Yuan Yin held the folder in his hand, frowned slightly, and then said, "Let's declare."

After getting the order, Xiao Luzi withdrew from the Wende Palace. After a while, Xu Zheng walked into the palace, and after bowing respectfully to Yuan Yin, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao's bones were sent back by the prefect of Chongzhou. According to His Majesty's order, the pension money for Mrs. Zhao will also be sent to the mansion, and I am here to reply to the order."

Yuan Yin looked at Xu Zheng standing in the hall, and he was very reassuring about his handling of things, but now he didn't trust him as before, what he was reassuring was only Xu Zheng's handling of affairs.

Yuan Yin's eyes fell on the letter sent by Beiyi Khan in his hand, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Xu Qing has always been at ease in handling affairs, but I also have a difficult matter right now, and I want to ask Xu Qing's opinion .”

Xu Zheng saluted and said: "If your majesty asks, a minister must know everything, and it is a matter of the minister's duty to share your majesty's worries."

Yuan Yin raised his head and looked at Xu Zheng's raised eyebrows, and then said: "Before, I heard that Xu Qing mentioned the matter of getting married, which can keep the border between the two countries forever safe. Today, I received a letter from Beiyi Khan, and my heart As he said, he is willing to marry me, Great Wei Yong, what suggestion does Xu Qing have at this time?"

Xu Zheng was a little puzzled what Yuan Yin meant by this, and still bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty cares about the country, and he will definitely put the country first. Although the marriage is not a long-term solution, it can ensure that there will be no war on the border in recent years. , In this way, there will be no war on the border, and our Central Plains will recuperate, and we will no longer be afraid of small border countries."

Yuan Yin listened carefully to Xu Zheng's words, and it can be said that there was no leakage. He not only flattered himself, but also agreed to the marriage, and even reaped the benefits of the marriage.

Yuan Yin got up immediately, asked Xu Zheng to sit down with him, and then handed the letter in his hand: "I was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing Xu Qing's words, I really feel that there are many benefits to getting married, so this matter I asked Xu Qing to do it."

Xu Zheng looked at Yuan Yin in surprise and said, "Your Majesty asked the minister to do it?"

"Yeah." Yuan Yin nodded and said, "Princess Adan named me as the emperor's uncle, His Royal Highness King Qi, and I had no choice but to agree, although when did Princess Adan meet my uncle? He doesn't want to marry, but now that she has made this request, Xu Qing also mentioned the many benefits of this marriage, so she really decided, and then made a decree to marry King Qi and Princess Adan, and Xu Qing, you should do things safely , I went to Jingzhou to present congratulatory gifts to the emperor's uncle on my behalf, and urged them to handle the marriage properly before returning to Beijing to reply."

Xu Zheng's calm expression all the year round finally has a little bit of cracking now, and the cracks first appeared, but he hid them back: "Your Majesty, why is it His Royal Highness King Qi?"

"Didn't this Khan say in the letter that the princess is in love with His Highness? After all, King Qi is my uncle, and he has been loved by him since he was a child. Now that he has this good relationship, he can also keep the border between the two countries safe. I think we should match up." Yuan Yin got up, and then called the servant and said:

"Come here, pass on the written order, I want to draw up an order, referring to the marriage of King Yuanqi of Qi and Princess Ashina Adan of Beiyi."

The servants who had received the order left Wende Palace obediently, but Xu Zheng still bowed his head, with mixed feelings in his heart, which was not a good feeling.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhongshu ordered the imperial decree to be read out, and Xu Zheng sent congratulatory gifts to Jingzhou to supervise the wedding. There were a lot of congratulatory gifts, but very little gold and silver. He took it out of the capital in a mighty way, and went straight to Jingzhou.

In the imperial garden, Yuan Yin set up a chessboard in the gazebo, facing Xiao Rong sitting in front of him, Yuan Yin stretched out his hand and placed the chess box in front of him.

The gazebo here is just right, overlooking the entire Imperial Garden. The Leaping Carp Pond is shimmering in the sun, and the breeze blows through the willow trees beside the Leaping Carp Pond, with a faint fragrance of grass buds, which is also very pleasant.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao's body has returned to Beijing, and it will be buried in two days." Xiao Rong said.

Yuan Yin moved the chess pieces without any ambiguity, looked up at Xiao Rong behind the moves, and said: "After I leave the court tomorrow, Xiao Qing will go to Mr. Zhao's residence with me."

"Your Majesty is really going?" Xiao Rong's tone was slightly puzzled.

"Naturally, Zhao He is an imperial envoy sent by my relatives. Now that he was killed in Chongzhou, both public and private should go and see it. Only after seeing it with my own eyes can I feel relieved." Yuan Yin said with a smile.

Xiao Rong just nodded and didn't say anything to stop him, he just played chess with Yuan Yin wholeheartedly.

After the court dispersed on the second day, Yuan Yin, who changed into casual clothes, went out of the palace with Xiao Rong and went to the residence of Zhao He, the imperial envoy. What puzzled Yuan Yin was that besides the carriage in front of the palace gate, except In Baishu, there was actually a woman standing there, and it was Gu Nianxia who was sent by Mrs. Xiao to serve Xiao Rong.

"Xiao Qing is so beautiful, why did she come to court with her maidservants?" After getting into the carriage, Yuan Yin sat with a sullen face, feeling very displeased.

One Mr. Ding'an was enough for him to worry about, but he never thought that there would be another girl now.

Men have been lustful since ancient times, especially a cold woman like Gu Nianxia, ​​even if she doesn't care, if Xiao Rong stays under the same roof with her for a long time, if the gun goes off, wouldn't it be nothing?

Competing with Mr. Ding'an for the person he loves, he will have face if he wins, but he is a majestic man, but he can't compete with a woman for her husband.Yuan Yin felt uncomfortable, so naturally his face darkened as soon as he got in the car, and he stopped looking at Xiao Rong.

"Miss Gu came from Chongzhou. He heard that the imperial envoy's body had returned to Beijing and wanted to come to pay respects, so I brought her here." Xiao Rong stared sideways at Yuan Yin, his tone was gentler than before.

Yuan Yin felt less angry when he heard the deep and gentle voice.

Yuan Yin felt that he was useless, and was coaxed by Xiao Rong's words that were not even sweet words, so he deliberately cleared his throat, squinting into Xiao Rong's eyes: "Are you serious?"

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty." Xiao Rong said with a slight salute, but Yuan Yin grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"Since that's the case, I'll believe you once." Yuan Yin held Xiao Rong's hand and didn't let go. He held it in his own hand and stroked it gently: "Xiao Qing's hands are no more delicate than girls' hands. But it doesn't taste good."

Xiao Rong stared at Yuan Yin's serious appearance and didn't answer his words. He just closed his eyes and thought, waiting for the carriage to stop, Xiao Rong said:

"Your Majesty likes my minister's hand, this hand belongs to His Majesty, and now it's in the Zhao residence."

Yuan Yin listened to Xiao Rong's words, then let go of his hand, watched Xiao Rong get out of the car first, and then got out of the car himself.

In front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, gauze lanterns hung high, and white silk hung high, it was miserable, which made people somewhat regrettable. At the gate, the servants of the Zhao Mansion had white silk wrapped around their waists. Seeing Xiao Rong coming, they quickly saluted him, and the housekeeper greeted them A group of people walked into the mansion.

In the mourning hall, a pitch-black coffin was placed, and the white flags in the hall were raised. In front of the brazier, Zhao He's son and daughter were kneeling upright, welcoming and sending off those who came to worship.

"Madam was hit and couldn't get sick, so please forgive me for not being able to come to meet Master Xiao." The housekeeper greeted Xiao Rong and Yuan Yin and his party to the mourning hall. The pair of sons and daughters saw the ceremony, and then handed over the gift that had been prepared to the palm of the housekeeper.

"Naturally, I don't care about it, but the mansion has encountered such a catastrophe, if there is any difficulty in serving Madam, you can speak up as much as you want, and you must do your best to be an official in the same dynasty as Mr. Zhao." Xiao Rong fell down. He didn't say much, just attracted Zhao He's two sons and daughters, and looked down at them.

Yuan Yin stood beside Xiao Rong, carefully looking at the young girl in front of her. The girl's eyes were red, maybe she cried too much, and they were swollen like walnuts, but the boy's eyes showed no sadness at all, full of fortitude.

Xiao Rong reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said: "Now, you are the head of the family."

The young man clasped his fists in salute and said, "Lord Xiao, I know that I will definitely take good care of my mother and sister, so I won't let others bully me."

"Good job, you study hard, and you will get a good reputation in the future." Yuan Yin said quickly.

The young man bowed to Yuan Yin again: "Cao Min remember."

Yuan Yin just smiled in relief, then looked at the girl and said: "Don't be sad, take care of your mother, you know?"

"Understood." The girl's voice was hoarse and crying, which was particularly pitiful.

After paying homage to Zhao He, the boy and the girl sent them off on their knees, but when Yuan Yin walked to the side of the carriage, he found that Xiao Rong was lagging behind, as if he was talking to Bai Shu, and Gu Nianxia was at the back, With tears in his eyes, he looked at the situation in the mansion with three steps and two turns.

"Cousin, what are you discussing with Bai Shu?" Yuan Yin couldn't help but opened his mouth, and then Xiao Rong stepped forward and came to the carriage:

"Something about Mr. Zhao, Your Majesty, let's get in the car first."

Yuan Yin stared at Xiao Rong for a while, then got into the carriage with Xiao Rong's support, only Gu Nian Xia Ji walked in front of the carriage and saluted: "My lord, this servant looks at Zhao's brothers and sisters pitifully, I wonder if you can allow this servant to stay for a while In the Zhao residence, help take care of Madam?"
