Qi Huang

Chapter 67 You want me

Xie Xuan sent someone back to Beijing to ask for an order, but for what reason, no one knows yet.

In order to prevent that person from having an accident on the way, Qin Ting also sent everyone in the dark pavilion to escort him all the way in secret.Unexpectedly, within a few days, people came from Beijing.

Qin Ting said: "It can't be Li Jingyang's people. They probably don't know what you want to do now. The corpse you let Ye Yi throw at the gate of the state capital should scare them for a while."

"Go and see and you'll know."

Xie Xuan went out by himself, Qin Ting made a gesture on the bed to get up to accompany him, but was detained by an order.

"You stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Qin Ting sat back in embarrassment, but unexpectedly touched the wound, and frowned fiercely.

When Xie Xuan's back was gone, he lay back on the bed and raised his voice slightly: "Ye Yi."

Behind the window, there were rustling footsteps, and there was a sense of panic when listening to the sound.Qin Ting curled the corner of his mouth, looking quite happy: "Come in, I have something to ask you."

Ye Yi who was outside the window wanted to cry, but faced Tan Xia's doubtful gaze, and walked in as if he was dead.

After walking to the main hall, even Xie Xuan did not expect that the person who came was an acquaintance.

The moment Du Yuzhi saw Xie Xuan's upright face, he suddenly became energetic.But he was only happy for a moment, and then he held his posture again, pretending to be serious with his hands behind his back.

When Xie Xuan approached, he cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Xie Xuan, the thirteenth son of the Xie family, listen to the decree—"

Holy decree?

Xie Xuan's gaze paused, and he looked in Du Yuzhi's direction.There were not many of them, with Du Yuzhi at the head, and a few young officials behind them. It seemed that their trip to Yongzhou was not just to spread word of mouth.Seeing Xie Xuan looking over, the leading young official gently moved away.

Xie Xuan lifted his robe slightly, bent over and knelt down, and the attendants and guards in the hall also knelt down on the ground.

"Xie Shisanzixuan, who is less intelligent and wise, far-sighted and wise, and well-handled. Yu Bojing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is loyal and brave, and eats clothes for the night. Today, Xie and Xie are in charge of digging the canal in Yongzhou. I hereby give them the right to act cheaply. , Yongzhou should give priority to the actions of the two of them, and Li Jingyang, the state capital, will obey without delay."

After Du Yuzhi finished reading, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Xuan get up, and immediately changed his tone: "Your Highness, Your Majesty takes pity on you to go to Yongzhou, and is afraid that you will suffer, so you specially asked me to come here to deliver the decree."

Xie Xuan: "Thank you, Mr. Du."

"If your highness has nothing else to do, I will go to the state capital again, and I have to inform the Li state government of this matter." Du Yuzhi smiled, and waved his sleeves to lead others to turn around and leave.

No one asked Xie Xuan why he didn't stay in the residence arranged by Li Jingyang, or it was a convenient place to observe the digging of the canal.Instead, they live in this remote post house with idle nobles, nobles, merchants and landlords, as if they came here just for fun.

However, considering that Du Yuzhi is from Feng Jiuyuan, these things are not surprising.

Xie Xuan held the imperial edict, thought for a while, and asked aloud: "Dare to ask Mr. Du, this imperial edict was really drawn up by my father?"

Du Yuzhi smiled, and glanced at the people serving at the side.

Presumably there are some things that need to be said in private.

After Xie Xuan waved his hand to dismiss the irrelevant people, Du Yuzhi said: "Your Highness is smart. After you left Yongzhou, there was news from General Wang that there was a war. The imperial court attached great importance to this, so they paid attention to the matter of the canal." I can't think about it. A few months ago, Mr. Li thought of you when he was in court, and said that Yongzhou is remote and there are bandits. If you only have the right to accompany the Ministry of Industry, it must be not so convenient."

After a pause, Du Yuzhi said again: "Lord Li is admonishing the court, please ask the Queen Mother to ask His Majesty to draw up an imperial decree, and ask the minister to send it."

Xie Xuan: "... Which Master Li?"

"Who else is Master Li?" Du Yuzhi chuckled, and suddenly remembered that Xie Xuan had been away from Beijing for a long time, and he didn't know much about the many changes in the court, so he said, "Master Li Zheng, Your Highness doesn't know, right? After you left Beijing, he was transferred from the province by the empress dowager to serve in the Ministry of War."

It turned out to be Li Zheng.

How did he know things far beyond Bianliang?

However, this imperial decree was like nectar from dry land, it came very timely, not far from the purpose of Xie Xuan's request to return to Beijing.Xie Xuan smiled slightly, and looked at Du Yuzhi, who showed a simple and honest smile.

Xie Xuan: "I don't know if Mr. Li has anything else to ask you to bring to me?"

Caught off guard by the question, Du Yuzhi's face froze immediately, and he blurted out: "No."

Once the words were spoken, I regretted it.

The smile in Xie Xuan's eyes deepened, he nodded, and said leisurely with his hands behind his back: "You just came to Yongzhou, and you came to deliver orders to me non-stop. Then you couldn't wait to leave without even taking a sip of water. Because the prestige of the Lizhou Mansion is so great, you want to see its heroic appearance. Why, are you afraid that after staying in the post for a long time, the people around you will say something wrong?"

"Your Highness, why did you say that?" Du Yu's face was calm.He has raped the court for many years, although Xie Xuan lost his mind once, he didn't necessarily panic, "I feel that I haven't seen the prince for a long time, and I am anxious to catch up with him."

"Oh?" Xie Xuan raised his eyes lightly, "Then how do you know that the Ninth Prince is in Yongzhou?"

Du Yuzhi: "..."

What?The prince came to Yongzhou and no one told him? !

its not right!Didn't the empress dowager secretly issue a decree, ordering Feng Jiuyuan to secretly assist Xie Xuan in destroying the old Xiao clan?Xie Xuan doesn't know?

Du Yuzhi poked his neck and looked at Xie Xuan, only to find that Xie Xuan was looking at him.There was no innocence in those blue eyes, they were full of cunning and calculation.Du Yuzhi was in a bad mood, so he heard Xie Xuan say again: "I forgot, the imperial grandmother once told me that the Ninth Prince might come to Yongzhou, presumably you, as a distant relative of the Ninth Prince, should also know about it. "

Du Yuzhi: "..."

Everything is ready, only the last blow is owed.Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Then why were you guilty just now?"

Du Yuzhi closed his eyes, his face ashen, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xie Xuan.

He took out a palm-sized envelope from his sleeve, and handed it to Xie Xuan with great reluctance: "Master Li did have a letter that I entrusted to my Highness, but I feel that I, an outsider, can't decide on such matters, and I don't know If the Empress Dowager knows about this, she wants to hide it first..."

There was an envelope inside the envelope, on the surface it was written "His Royal Highness, Your Highness". After opening it, there were a few large characters written on the inside: My love, Xie Xinglan.

"Do you also block the letter from home?" Xie Xuan shook the envelope, "Is it because Mr. Du is very gossip, or is someone among them deliberately confessing something to Mr. Du?"

Du Yuzhi: "..."

What letter?Why is Li Zheng's letter a letter from home?

What about the prince!

After the anxiety passed, Du Yuzhi was deeply ashamed, and his face turned red in an instant.

He is so old, and counting his age on his fingers is several times older than Xie Xuan, and now he is forced to do such unspeakable things, he can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get into it immediately.

But his appearance reminded Xie Xuan of a small incident a long time ago.

At that time, Xie Xuan had not yet been favored by the Queen Mother, and when he left after a verbal dispute with Li Jin in Ziluan Palace, Du Yuzhi had secretly glanced at him.At that time, he felt baffled, but now that he thinks about it... maybe there is an ulterior motive.

Is it Feng Jiuyuan?

At that time, Feng Jiuyuan was paying attention to him who was far away in Bianliang?

If it wasn't for Feng Jiuyuan's explanation or what he said to him, Du Yu, a high-ranking official, would have no reason to focus on a mere little prince.

"If it's because of the Ninth Prince..." Xie Xuan said, "If it's convenient for Mr. Du, please bring me a sentence, just say—"

Xie Xuan looked at Xu, and behind the door was a dazzling light that pierced the sky.

"If you have anything to say, just say it in front of me."

Not long after receiving the news of Xie Xuan's request to return to Beijing, before the Lizhou government had time to ridicule for a while, the entire state capital was disturbed by a corpse thrown at the door.

This corpse was no ordinary corpse, and the armbands on his shoulders showed that this person came from the group of bandits who had been suppressed for a long time.

Naturally, the troops of the entire state would not pay attention to this kind of folk troupe. If they wanted to do something, those people would not survive the day after they were discovered.The reason why it took so long was because Li Jin gave an order.

But Li Jingyang didn't know the reason.

However, the appearance of this corpse at the gate of the state capital meant that Xie Xuan found some clues in it.

Originally, he wanted to shut Xie Xuan's door and kill his vigor, but unexpectedly he used it in the opposite direction and dug out deeper secrets from it.Li Jin blamed him on the top, and Xie Xuan stared at him from below. Even if Li Jingyang wanted to procrastinate, he couldn't.

He thought, isn't Xie Xuan acting like this just to force him to show up?Can't he go?

At that time, we must let this young brat know that Li Jingyang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he has to suffer.

But before he went to the posthouse to invite someone in person, he bumped into the imperial decree brought by Du Yuzhi and others.

After receiving the order, Li Jingyang was struck by another bolt of lightning before he recovered his senses.

Xie Xuan gave an expedient order and decided to lead the troops of the state government to exterminate the bandits in person.

This little Highness asked someone to come over and say——

"Even in such an important place as the post house, there are assassins from the bandits' dens coming to assassinate. There must be something strange. Mr. Li has been reluctant to kill these bandits. I have reason to suspect that you are raising bandits to exploit them. The common people have the right to do things in secret, endangering the peace of the Yongzhou generation."

"I have already asked someone to go back to Beijing to ask for an edict to let the emperor's grandmother depose your official title in Yongzhou Prefecture. You just wait for the second imperial edict to come down!"

It turned out that Xie Xuan's request was not to let the Queen Mother decide for him!

He should have thought of it earlier, Xie Xuan lived in the post house for half a month, which proved that he didn't intend to ask for an order at all at first.

Who would have thought that Lao Shizi's assassin who killed him halfway would make him come up with such a vicious scheme!If it was the former, even if Li Jingyang couldn't avoid him, it would be Xie Xuan's incompetence. When the Queen Mother heard the news, Li Jingyang was definitely not the first one to cut him off.

But what if Xie Xuan directly put a hat on his head?

The queen mother must know which is urgent and which is slow, and she is going to convict him of Li Jingyang!

Only then did Li Jingyang truly regret it.He wanted to see Xie Xuan, even if he kowtowed in person and apologized, but Xie Xuan had already avoided any visitors.

After a few more days of dawdling, Qin Ting's injuries were also healed, at least he could walk on the ground now.

He learned from Ye Yi that on the day Du Yuzhi came to Yongzhou, apart from the imperial decree, Xie Xuan also got another thing from him.

Something that belongs to Li Zheng.

Qin Ting angrily drank the decoction, only to feel that his mouth was more bitter than before, but Xie Xuan didn't seem to know it at all.He was reading the letter while sipping the West Lake Longjing that Li Jingyang brought up as a tribute.

Li Jingyang has been very flattering to Xie Xuan these days, but it was too late, anyway, as winter was approaching, the matter of the canal could not be accelerated, and Xie Xuan would not surname Xie if he did not let him hang out for a hundred or eighty days.

"You really can't show it to me?" Qin Ting said disconsolately.

Xie Xuan: "No."

"What's so good about Li Zheng." Qin Ting leaned over and sat next to Xie Xuan, "Is he as good-looking as me?"

Xie Xuan almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Seeing that his mind was loose, Qin Ting hurriedly made persistent efforts, wrapped his arms around Xie Xuan's waist from behind, put his head on his shoulder, coaxed and lied: "Let me have a look, I promise to keep my mouth shut and never let it out."

Xie Xuan shook his head.

Qin Ting was unwilling to let go, and wanted to grab him, so Xie Xuan couldn't do what he wanted.As soon as the two entered and retreated, they fought back and forth in the room.Qin Ting was still wounded, Xie Xuan only dared to hide, being suppressed back and forth, Xie Xuan was also tired, so she had to smile half helplessly and half lovingly: "Stop making trouble, wait for me..."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Xie Xuan's face became serious, and while pushing Qin Ting away, he put back his smile: "Please come in."

The door creaked and was pushed open.

The visitor was a strange young man.

He looked quite handsome, with an elegant bookish look in his brows and eyes, and he was wearing an official uniform, which could be called a tall and straight figure, graceful and graceful.

Xie Xuan searched his memory for a moment: "Are you... the official who came to Yongzhou with Master Du?"

The man looked happy: "Yes, I didn't expect your highness to still remember me."

Xie Xuan nodded, looked away, and took another sip of tea: "What's the matter with you?"

But the man knelt down suddenly, and made a very standard kneeling salute: "My name is Gu Shiqing. This time I met His Highness abruptly, and I really have something to ask for."

"Oh?" A hint of interest arose in Xie Xuan's expression, "What do you want?"

Gu Shiqing's face was slightly red, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"Thirteenth Highness, you want me!"

Xie Xuan had just swallowed a sip of tea when she was choked hastily and fainted.
