Prince Consort

Chapter 195

When he went to court the next day, Zhao Chongzhao's eyes lit up.

I feel that the ministers of the court and the central government are all handsome, the change is very gratifying!Especially Yao Dingyan, the leader. Zhao Chongzhao had always respected Yao Dingyan before, so he respected his personal habits very much, and he reluctantly endured Yao Dingyan's sloppiness.Unexpectedly, when he went to court today, his court clothes were bright, his face was clean, his whole body was neatly arranged, and he finally looked like a Confucian.

Everyone understood that Yao Dingyan was short-sighted and greatly short-sighted.Having experienced the beauty of "glasses", you can more or less understand Yao Dingyan's experience at this time.

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Yao Dingyan remained calm.In the past, he saw things vaguely, and always felt that he was almost the same in the mirror, so he didn't pay much attention to his appearance.Now that I have seen it carefully, I naturally have to tidy it up.

After the court, Xie Ze'an walked after Yao Dingyan, boasting: "Mr. Yao is really refreshed today!"

Yao Dingyan snorted and said, "Sanlang, you have such a good thing, why didn't you take it out before?" He didn't care much about it, and the whole family was used to his slovenliness, so no one reminded him what he looked like every day Zhengshitang only thinks that he is so wild, so uninhibited, and just doing his own way.

Hearing Yao Dingyan's questioning of the teacher, Xie Ze'an laughed and recited a poem deeply: "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens."

Yao Dingyan said: "This poem is not bad, there should be two more sentences after it?"

Xie Ze'an finished it in a hurry: "Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently." He didn't read the rest of the paragraph, but dedicatedly filled in the source, "Written by Du Zimei."

Yao Dingyan glanced at Xie Zean.There are countless good poems and sentences in this guy's belly, and he can read a few excellent sentences casually, but he said something serious, this one was written by Du Zimei, and that one was written by Li Taibai, and then ask him where these people are from He couldn't tell why, it really made people wonder if he was talking nonsense!

Yao Dingyan said: "Good rain knows the season... Sanlang, do you think my rain is good?"

Xie Zean's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be stupid: "What rain? I don't understand anything."

Yao Dingyan scolded: "Slippery!" He rolled his eyes at Xie Ze'an, "I'll know if you don't tell me, I definitely didn't do it well. But I don't think everything can be done slowly. If the trend continues, some ills cannot be completely eradicated.”

Xie Ze'an said: "What you said is very true."

The words on the scene were smooth, but Xie Ze'an had a bad premonition in his heart.

This hunch was quickly confirmed.

Yao Dingyan is going to get rid of a group of officials.This group of officials was very subtle, and they happened to be under Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong.This group of people is really about to leave. Although Fang Baocheng and Shen Cunzhong are still in charge of the Market Change Law and the Exemption Law, the number of people who can use it is directly reduced by more than half. If they want to do anything, they can only go to the Department of Regulations of the Third Division.

Yao Dingyan wanted to hold all the new laws in his own hands.

Xie Zean frowned.The bastard Zhao Chongzhao not only didn't stop it, but also happily participated in it, because this guy saw Geng Xun on the list, so he decisively approved it with a big stroke of a pen.

Xie Ze'an wanted to strangle him to death.

Fortunately, Xie Jiyu had already taken office at this time.The first thing Xie Jiyu did when he entered the Political Affairs Hall was to contradict Yao Dingyan and oppose Yao Dingyan's transfer.Zhao Chongzhao was in a dilemma when he pointed to his own "Taishan" on the one hand, and on the other hand he was very much in favor of the resolution.

Zhao Chongzhao thought about it, and adopted a compromise: why don't we demote half and keep the other half?

Anyway, Geng Xun will definitely leave.

Xie Jiyu returned home in silence.

Xie Ze'an was already waiting there.Seeing Xie Zean's obedient appearance, Xie Jiyu couldn't help but sighed: "You, Mr. Yao, are not worry-free, and your Majesty is even more so."

Xie Ze'an smiled wryly and said: "He has always been that virtuous." If he dared to persuade him at this moment, Zhao Chongzhao would definitely insist on his own ideas, and demote Geng Xun and the group without discussion.

Xie Jiyu glanced at him and said, "Can't you try to persuade him?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's not impossible to think about it, but I think this matter may not have a chance." He and Xie Jiyu looked at each other, "After all, they were not demoted by mistake. It is impossible for Mr. Yao to demote them. At most, he can only be demoted. Ambush. Among the list he made, there are many reliable people, and it might be a good thing to have them in the local area. If we fight for it in the court, they can always return to the court."

Xie Jiyu frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Are you sure to persuade them? His Majesty's actions will inevitably chill the hearts of many people."

Xie Ze'an said: "If you are not sure, you must be sure."

Xie Jiyu said: "Then I'll go meet your Brother Fang and Uncle Shen, and leave the others to you."

Xie Ze'an said "hmm", and the father and son separated and started running.

The first person Xie Zean visited was Geng Xun.

Geng Xun had heard the wind, and was sitting in his room reading a book and meditating.Hearing that someone came to report that Xie Ze'an had arrived, Geng Xun was startled for a while, then straightened his clothes and went out to greet the guests.This time he personally welcomed him into the study and said, "Why is Xie Shangshu here?"

Xie Ze'an said, "I'm afraid you also know why I came here."

Geng Xun said flatly: "Shang Shu Xie told me last time that the imperial court needs me. But now it seems that His Majesty does not need me."

Xie Ze'an knew that Geng Xun suffered a purely innocent disaster, but he couldn't tell the real reason.He said: "Your Majesty doesn't need it, but it doesn't mean that the court doesn't need it—Geng Yushi is not a person who flatters you. Could it be that Geng Yushi became an official in the court in order to get His Majesty's approval?"

Geng Xun was a little dumbfounded when he heard Xie Zean's words.Even if he is not a foolish and loyal person, he always keeps in mind the word "loyalty to the emperor".He usually finds trouble with Zhao Chongzhao, not for fame and fortune, but because he feels that it is wrong in his heart, and hopes that Zhao Chongzhao can "reform evil and return to righteousness" and become a wiser monarch.

Xie Ze'an grew up with Zhao Chongzhao, logically speaking, he should be more like Zhao Chongzhao, but his tone doesn't sound like it!

Xie Ze'an did not hide his opinion of Zhao Chongzhao: "Your Majesty is often out of touch. If no one can point out his mistakes, he may do more absurd things. Geng Yushi, even if he is far away from the capital , you must still be His Majesty's eyes, seeing for him what's going on outside the capital."

Geng Xun fell silent.

He had gone through untold hardships to become an official in the court. It would be a lie to say that he has no ambition of his own.Being relegated from Beijing by Zhao Chongzhao for no reason, he still feels a little bit aggrieved.Along with the injustice, disappointment and discouragement followed, and he was somewhat negative in his heart.

Xie Ze'an's personal visit made Geng Xun's heart slowly come alive.

Geng Xun said: "I'm not in Beijing. When my younger brother Geng Yuan comes back, I hope Xie Shangshu can take care of him. He has always admired you the most. He must be very happy to have your advice."

Hearing Geng Xun's words, Xie Ze'an felt relieved.He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I will definitely see him as my younger brother."

Geng Xun stared at Xie Ze'an speechlessly for a while, his face full of helplessness: "...he is two years older than you."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

It was definitely not his fault that he was young.

Xie Ze'an came out of Geng Xun's mansion, ran to several houses, and did not return home until the setting sun was setting.He felt a little depressed, and when he walked home, he saw that everyone was smiling.

Xie Ze'an was surprised and looked up, it was Xie Dalang and Erniang who came back.Erniang's abdomen bulged slightly, obviously she was pregnant.

Xie Ze was relieved, and ran up to hug Xie Dalang, teasing with a smile: "The action is quite fast."

Xie Dalang did not deny that his normally cold eyes were a little more tender.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and felt emotional in their hearts.Xie Ze'an ordered Dai Shi to open an altar of wine, and had a drink with Xie Dalang.

The shipping went smoothly, and the navy's training was on track.More importantly, Xie Dalang has found a group of credible people to settle in a bay and occupy the nearby islands.Although there are not many people, it is enough to open up wasteland. Wubao has been completed [-]% to [-]%.

Xie Ze'an said: "That's pretty good." Sometimes Xie Ze'an also felt that he was quite contradictory. He clearly convinced himself and Zhao Chongzhao to believe in the relationship between each other, but he always soberly believed that the relationship between them would not last that long.To invest is to invest, but you have to find a way out.Xie Ze settled down, and then reminded, "Yan Lin is not that easy to fool, you have to be cautious."

Xie Dalang nodded.

When Geng Xun left Beijing and Xie Dalang returned to Beijing, the palace ushered in a charming guest.This charming guest is a teenager, or should I say he looks like a teenager, but in fact he is the same age as Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Ze'an.

His name is Zhao Yijing.Zhao Yijing is the adopted son of King Fu, and he was very close to Zhao Chongzhao when he was a child. He is weak, while Zhao Chongzhao is strong, and he often plays around with him on his back or in his arms.

The arrival of Zhao Yijing made Zhao Chongzhao a little happy.His impression of Zhao Yijing was a little fuzzy, but after seeing someone, he remembered that besides Yan Ning, he loved this "cousin" the most when he was young.He is not very close to the kings and princes' sons, and always feels that there is a layer of separation, and he is naturally happy to see such a person who was once very close.

Zhao Chongzhao happily asked Zhao Yijing how the past ten years have been.

Although Zhao Yijing was weak, he was in good spirits. With a smile on his face, he talked to Zhao Chongzhao about interesting things about King Fu's fiefdom.Zhao Chongzhao was delighted to hear this, and grabbed Zhao Yijing's hand and sighed, "Why are you still so thin, don't you usually eat?"

Zhao Yijing joked: "Well, I don't eat, I'm afraid I'll get fat, Brother Prince... No, Your Majesty, you can't afford me."

Zhao Chongzhao's heart became hot when he heard it, and he immediately said: "What are you talking about? Even if you grow into a fat man of two hundred catties, I can carry it on your back!" He turned towards Zhao Yijing, "If you don't believe me, come up Try it."

Zhao Yijing said: "...This is not good, Your Majesty, you are now the king of a country, you can't do this again."

Zhao Chongzhao is a tyrannical person, the more you reject him, the more he wants you to agree.He said with a tiger face: "This is an imperial decree, how dare you not listen?"

Zhao Yijing smiled sweetly and said, "Listen."

He stretched out his hands and lay on Zhao Chongzhao's back, and let Zhao Chongzhao carry himself up and walked around before getting off the ground.

Zhao Chongzhao patted Zhao Yijing on the head: "Call me brother in the future, don't call me your majesty, it's too unreasonable. Stay in the palace tonight and eat well in the future. If you are in poor health, you should grow more flesh."

Zhao Yijing said, "Listen to brother."
