The rise of the prince

Chapter 33
Passing through the small courtyard overgrown with flowers and plants, He Zhao walked to the door of the wing room, cleared his throat and said, "Cough, Xiaoqian, it's for the father, open the door."

no respond.

"Don't lose your temper, open the door quickly, and warn you for the last time as a father, if you lose your temper again, I will ground you for a month."

boom!
Now there was a response, and something in the room was broken.

"Don't mess around, open the door for Father!"

"Then let me out." A quick reply came from the room.

"Then don't go looking for that Li Xingzhou."

"Why can't you go!"

He Zhao said angrily, "Didn't my father tell you that Li Xingzhou is shit, he can't get in the way and you don't want to pay attention to him, if you step on it, you'll get a stinky sound, why don't you listen!"

"Hmph, but that shit has been on me a long time ago. He has been bullying your daughter like this. I just punish him a little bit, but you still lock me up. Who are you helping, woo woo woo"

"You clearly know that he is shit, but you still want to bite back. Isn't that just eating?" He Zhao stopped at this point.

"Bah, bah, dad, what are you talking about? I just made a bet with him. If you don't let me out, I will lose."

"Bet?" He Zhao frowned: "Could it be some kind of scam? You girl only knows how to wield a spear and stick, so don't let anyone fool you."

"Hmph, whoever can fool me, I won't let you out of the house, and I won't even let you die."

He Zhao has a big head. He has been busy with affairs recently, and he has to deal with accumulated official duties. At the end of the year, there must be no omissions in the public security of Kyoto. Master Zhu Yue also specifically asked him to discuss matters such as the closure of the city gate and the curfew during the New Year's Eve, but this girl lost her temper at this time.

"You girl! Open the door for Father!" He Zhao stomped his feet angrily, but was helpless.

At this moment, the manager hurried into the yard. "I didn't tell you to wait outside." He Zhao said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, but master, the sisters and brothers of the Wei family have come to visit, and they are already waiting in the lobby."

"Siblings from the Wei family?" He Zhao frowned, "It's just at this time." Looking at the closed door, he said helplessly, "You ask Wu Liecha to check what the young lady and Li Xingzhou have been doing recently, but don't offend Li Xingzhou, understand. "

"The old slave understands, I will explain clearly to him."

He Zhao nodded: "You let the kitchen be ready at any time. If the lady wants to eat, she will serve it immediately. I will go see the Wei family sisters and brothers now."

When he arrived at the main hall, He Zhao could see it clearly from a distance. There was a woman sitting there, the man was about 20 years old, and the woman was no different. There were servants standing behind him, holding many gift boxes.

The two people who were far away got up and saluted.

"Boy Wei Xingping"

"Little girl Wei Yubai."

"I have seen Mr. He."

"Miss Wei, Mr. Wei, don't be too polite, please sit down." He also sat down in the main seat, and the servants immediately brought fragrant tea.

Wei Xingping seemed to hesitate for a moment, stood up and made a bow, and said, "This time when Zaixia and Shemei are going south to the capital, they have heard about Mr. He's reputation for a long time, and they respect him in their hearts, so they come here to pay a respectful visit and prepare a small gift. I hope Mr. He will accept it."

As he spoke, two servants stepped forward and presented the brocade box in their hands.

He Zhao didn't know why they came, and sat upright, but waved his hands and said, "I accept Mr. Wei's wishes, but I can't accept this gift."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Xingping was obviously confused, and hurriedly bowed: "My lord, this time the boy just came here. I just want to ask my lord to listen to me, but I don't mean it. Please accept it."

He Zhao was unmoved: "Young Master Wei, don't be nervous. You can sit down. If I am willing to see you this time, I am willing to talk to you. Since I am willing to talk to you, don't worry, you can speak slowly."

Wei Xingping had no choice but to sit down resentfully, and He Zhao took a sip of the fragrant tea: "I know that Mr. Wei and Miss Wei traveled thousands of miles south and traveled around the capital for the sake of your lord. Your filial piety is commendable. If you can find me, I think you will find me." I also know that I am neutral on this issue."

"Your Majesty He is wise, you speak the right words, I admire you." Wei Xingping made a bow, his speech was sluggish, and his movements were stiff, obviously someone taught him to say it.

He Zhao's face was unmoved, and he continued: "But you know that I am neutral, but you don't know why I am neutral. I have been an official for decades, no matter how outsiders say that I don't care about it, I have a clear conscience, so I never form a party, nor Nonsense. Therefore, I don’t understand the military and the current situation in northern Xinjiang, so I won’t argue about this matter. Whether Mr. Wei is reasonable or rude, I have nothing to do with this official.”

Hearing this, the brothers and sisters of the Wei family panicked. Just as Wei Xingping was about to stand up, Wei Yubai stopped him with her hand. She saluted and said, "Mr. In fact, the army going south is not limited to Liao people. Although the origin is unknown, they are more fierce and unstoppable than the Liao people, so my father was defeated so badly.

But after the battle report arrived in Kyoto, it turned out that there were only Liao people dissatisfied with tens of thousands of people. When my father received the imperial edict, he was surprised why His Majesty was so angry. He didn't know about it until he arrived in Kyoto. Someone must be obstructing and wronging my father. Please look into it, Lord He ! "

He Zhao frowned: "The Credible Report was written by Mr. Wei himself."

Wei Yubai said: "It is true that my father wrote it himself. It has been stated that the Liao people have less than [-] forwards, and there are other troops that are unknown."

He Zhao frowned, got up and paced back and forth, hesitating for a long time, before speaking: "I have heard everything you said, let's stop today's matter, let me think about it for a while, so I won't send two more .”

Wei Xingping wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wei Yubai, who pulled him into a bow and said, "If you disturb Mr. He, we two will leave now."

As he said that he led his servants out of this place, but he didn't take away a bunch of brocade boxes as if he had forgotten them.

"Wait a minute, take these away too." He Zhao pointed to a pile of brocade boxes and said, Wei Xingping was aggrieved, so he asked someone to take away the gift boxes.

"Sister, why did you stop me? That old guy is obviously trying to evade, talking about how high-definition he is, but when things happen, he doesn't talk about black and white, and pushes back and forth." Wei Xingping started cursing after leaving Hefu. The sky outside had already darkened, and the surrounding It was very cold.

Wei Yubai rubbed his hands, and looked at the dark sky as he walked: "People in Beijing don't understand cold and suffering, and they don't see blood, so how can they know what is black and white. Mr. He is a good person, at least if you don't know, don't say anything. Think about it these few days. Those, how many are ignorant and nonsense."

"That's right for you to say that." Wei Xingping said angrily, "Human life is easy to talk about, but if it really comes to me, I'm afraid that I will be scared away from the strength to carry a knife into battle."

"It's useless to complain. I've visited for several days and no one is willing to speak up for my father. I'm afraid if this continues." Wei Yubai frowned: "Sell the horse tomorrow. You and I are only in Beijing. I am used to running around. Walking a little way is nothing. , The things I brought are almost finished, I can make up a little bit, don't waste money on the up and down, the more effort my father has, the more vitality he will have."

Wei Xingping nodded: "Everything is up to my sister. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so walking is nothing."
