The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 9

Xie Linxi resigned, Qi Hanzhang saluted and resigned, and left with him in a hurry.

After they turned back and forth, Qi Jingyuan raised his eyelids and glanced casually, then looked at He Yun who was standing aside, frowned and said coldly, "What business does He Guogong want for this king?"

There was palpable impatience and displeasure in his tone.

Many times, Qi Jingyuan separates He Yun and He Guogong's mansion represented by He Yun.He Yun is personally an elder and a hero who guards the border, but when it comes to He Guogong's mansion, He Guogong's mansion will always stand by the emperor's side, and put the emperor's interests at the forefront in everything he does.

In the same way, in He Yun's eyes, Qi Jingyuan was different from the Prince Regent.

Qi Jingyuan is the emperor's uncle, but the regent is a piece of sky over the emperor's head.

It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong, just different positions.

He Yun fell silent when he heard Qi Jingyuan's question. It was the first time he received such treatment from Qi Jingyuan's place.

Qi Jingyuan is the proud son of heaven, he has his own style and bearing in his words and deeds, but he is very polite to those who have truly made contributions to Da Qi and the common people, and never intentionally embarrass or ridicule him.

But today, Qi Jingyuan's attitude gave He Yun the first feeling that the visitor was not kind.

At this moment, He Yun thought a lot.He thought of what had just happened in the palace, and thought of the Shenglin Tower that the Empress Dowager insisted on repairing not long ago.After thinking more divergently, he wondered if the Queen Mother's temptation had completely angered Qi Jingyuan, and even he couldn't get any face.

Thinking of this, He Yun became even more silent.

He is not a person who doesn't know good and bad, so he can see how Qi Jingyuan is doing to Qi Yu.

But he is the uncle of the little emperor Qi Yu, he will put Qi Yu first in everything, and will protect him wholeheartedly.In addition to being loyal to the emperor, it is more about caring for the nephew.

Under such circumstances, he had to take all aspects into consideration. The most important point was that, as the emperor, Qi Yu's status could not be shaken by anyone.

Even if this person is Qi Jingyuan.

So under such circumstances, the relationship between He Yun and Qi Jingyuan is rather delicate.

Neither of them is a bad person, but due to their different positions, they will never be able to sit together and drink tea and talk freely.

At the same time, because they understand each other and respect each other, it is a relationship that is both defensive and can temporarily cooperate because of some things that are beneficial to Daqi.

A very complicated and wonderful relationship, with each other standing in the hall so politely, it is both restrictive and balanced.

But now, Qi Jingyuan's attitude made He Yun a little unpredictable. He didn't know if he was in a bad mood for a while, or he wanted to completely break the tacit understanding between them.

While thinking about it, He Yun thought a lot.

Facing Qi Jingyuan's frowning brows and the obvious displeasure on his face because of his distraction, he said, "My lord, I came here mainly to discuss with you about the construction of the Shenglin Tower."

"Oh?" Qi Jingyuan became interested, and he said, "What suggestion does He Guogong have?"

He Yundao: "It is true that the Empress Dowager wants to build the Shenglin Tower, and it is also true that the national treasury is empty. If the national treasury is even more empty due to the construction of the Shenglin Tower, it is really not worth the loss."

"It's inconvenient to use the money from the treasury, so I thought about donating some to the empress dowager to build the Shenglin Tower. In this way, the queen mother will be happy without using the money from the treasury, and this will be the end of the matter."

He Yun likes to tell the truth sometimes. For example, now, he said everything he saw and thought in his heart. He pointed out the queen mother's thoughts and the state of the Daqi treasury. He also wanted to try his best to solve these troubles.

Such a person, it is difficult for others to pick out any faults from his words.No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least he is sincere on the surface.

If it was the past, Qi Jingyuan would have to let go of his defenses temporarily, discuss the matter with him, and come up with a compromise that would make both parties look good.

But today he was not very interested, and he sneered after hearing these words: "He Guogong's proposal is really not very good. Today, if you volunteer to donate money to the Empress Dowager to build the Shenglin Terrace, those ministers must also donate. Don't say what you want I don’t want to, if someone wants to repair something next time, should He Guogong donate or not? If this matter goes on like this, I’m afraid it will be unclear.”

"What's more, the emperor and the empress dowager have already spoken. I don't have any objections to this matter, so let's just leave it at that."

He Yun pondered over Qi Jingyuan's words carefully and said with a face of enlightenment: "My lord is right, it's because I'm thinking about it."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and said solemnly: "I am stupid, and some things are not as clear as the prince. Fortunately, the emperor has been taught by the prince since he was a child. In time, he will become a wise emperor like the previous emperor."

It wasn't until this time that He Yun's fox tail was completely exposed.

His purpose today is not to donate money to build Shenglin Tower, but for what he just said.

In just a few words, he degraded himself to the bottom, pointing out the brotherhood between the former emperor and Qi Jingyuan, the admiration of the little emperor, etc., all in the hope of gaining affection and favor for the little emperor.

Qi Jingyuan is not a fool, after hearing the meaning of He Yun's words, he raised his phoenix eyebrows and said with a smile that was not a smile: "I don't know that He Guogong is so good at talking. If He Guogong is stupid, there may be no smart people in this world."

He Yun said solemnly: "My lord is humble."

The implication is that Qi Jingyuan is the smart person who is smarter than him.Sometimes you can't deny that when you meet someone who can talk, what he says makes people feel happy.

Qi Jingyuan laughed happily. He has always been arrogant, and he always knew that he could afford to be smart, so he said: "The emperor is young, and this king is entrusted by the emperor's brother, so he will naturally teach him carefully."

The premise is that he is willing to listen, Qi Jingyuan did not say this sentence.

I never thought about it before, but now I don't want to.

He Yun said: "It's a blessing for the emperor to meet the prince."

"It's even more fortunate to meet an uncle like you who thinks of him anytime and anywhere." Qi Jingyuan replied.

He Yun felt that what he said meant something, but after thinking about it in his heart, he didn't find anything wrong. Looking closely, his expression was the same as before.He Yun thought, maybe he was thinking too much.

When Qi Jingyuan and He Yun were playing the quiz game, Xie Linxi and Qi Hanzhang had already left the palace.

Xie Linxi doesn't like sitting in sedan chairs, and neither does Qi Hanzhang.

After walking out of the palace gate, walking past the Falling Horse Stone and taking the reins, Qi Hanzhang let out a deep breath, and his whole body came alive.

The dull look in his eyes disappeared, and what remained was agility and liveliness.

Qi Hanzhang's face was ordinary compared to Qi Jingyuan's, but with such a pair of eyes, his whole body seemed to be tinged with aura.

He looked at Xie Linxi and said: "You can keep your face around the emperor. I really admire Xie Linxi, you are very human. If it were me today, I would have fainted from fright."

Xie Linxi got on the horse and said lightly: "What kind of person is the prince, the son knows better than me. If you say such things again, don't associate with me in the future."

Qi Hanzhang said anxiously: "Of course I know what kind of person Uncle Huang is. When I came to Beijing from Yunnan alone, I was afraid and apprehensive. Uncle Huang was with me. I know you value Uncle Huang more than your life." , but I’m just afraid of him now, this thing grows in my bones, and I can’t control it.”

"If that's the case, then the prince will seldom enter the palace." Xie Linxi said without sympathy.

Qi Hanzhang had a bitter face, seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, don't you like to collect Xiao Xiao? When I returned to Beijing today, I saw an ancient Xiao Xiao on Yunan Street. I will take you to have a look."

In recent years, he, the prince of Yunnan, has often helped Xie Linxi find Xiao Xiao, which is one of the reasons why he was able to enter the gate of Xie's house.

Xie Linxi paused when he hit the horse, and then he said, "No need."

"Huh?" Qi Hanzhang, who was still somewhat complacent, suddenly had question marks on his face, and he said, "Why don't you use it?"

How long has it been since then, why have my preferences changed?

Xie Linxi didn't answer his question, but said: "It's getting late, I'll send the son back to his residence."

When Qi Hanzhang heard this, his dazed expression turned into sullenness, and he said, "I'm the only one in the house, and I don't have anything to do when I go back."

The words are full of regret.

The author has something to say: Today I will probably be in the hospital all day to help my family get out of the hospital. I won’t update it today, and I will continue tomorrow.
