What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 51 Chapter Fifty

Chenji Hall.

Ever since Emperor Yonghe entrusted the political affairs to King Duan and Princess Jiarou, and soon there will be another King Rong, he only needs to check and balance behind the scenes and rely on Xuan Yusi's supervision to control the court.

So he became obsessed with the way of longevity. Although he was not obsessed with pills like the previous emperors, he still called monks and Taoists into the palace from time to time to discuss the art of health preservation.

While Wei Huai'en was waiting for the transmission outside the hall, the monk Budu came out of the hall and gestured to Wei Huai'en to come in:
"Your Majesty will send you in."

"Hmph, demon monk."

Wei Huai'en hated these people very much. Although she was keen on power, she didn't appreciate these people for confusing the king of the country.

"Amitabha. What His Highness said is true."

Hearing her slander in a low voice, Budu just put his hands together and recited the Buddha's gatha, as if it was an ordinary sentence, and walked in front to lead her in.

Emperor Yonghe was sitting on a futon, and after Wei Huaien saluted and greeted him, he asked softly:
"Is your body getting better?"

"Okay, it's rare to be able to rest for so long, Erchen's health is better than before."

Wei Huai'en pulled a futon and sat cross-legged next to Emperor Yonghe. She knew that what he loved most now was father's kindness and daughter's filial piety.

"Father called his son to come over, you should be relieved to see it with your own eyes, right?"

Emperor Yonghe squeezed her shoulder:

"It's true that his complexion has improved a lot, the imperial physician should reward him."

After some chatting with some real feelings, Emperor Yonghe revealed the real purpose of sending her into the palace this time.

"I heard from your brother, that you saved Xing'er that time, and he owed you a favor?"

Wei Huai'en had been waiting for him to mention this matter for a long time, and his expression showed a hint of disdain and sarcasm just right.

"He Gu, a child, even if it is a child who is not relative or relative, I will save it, but I can't bear the favor of the big emperor."

"What?"

As expected, Emperor Yonghe's face darkened, Wei Huai'en knelt in front of him stubbornly, and said nothing.

However, it was another trial and game. Emperor Yonghe wanted Wei Huai'en not to show any signs of favoring anyone. Wei Huai'en also used Wei Huai'en's former revenge to answer.

Even if this would make Emperor Yonghe feel that Wei Huai'en was still dissatisfied with his letting go of King Duan, it would also make Emperor Yonghe believe that there was no possibility of her joining forces with King Duan.

What Emperor Yonghe wanted was her disregard of family affection, but he thought she was too good at holding grudges, and suspected that she blamed him, the emperor, for the concessions and sacrifices that the emperor had to make.

This is why he retreated behind the scenes and wanted to restore the relationship with his children.

Although he is an emperor, he is also an individual, and he also longs for the family happiness of ordinary people.

But he also knows that personal relationships are a kind of corruption for the imperial power, and he must treat his children as opposing pawns in order to stabilize the overall situation of the country.

It was this kind of contradictory psychology that allowed him to indulge Wei Huai'en in the court as a woman.

It seems that acquiescing to the eldest daughter to raise her male favorite without any problems after marriage, as if giving power to a younger daughter who should not have interfered in the previous court, it can prove that he is a loving father who loves his children very much and treats them equally.

Wei Huaien saw his hypocrisy clearly, so she knew how to deal with his temptation.

After the silence, Emperor Yonghe mentioned something else:
"Next month, go to Mingzhou."

"Mingzhou?"

Wei Huai'en looked up pretending to be puzzled, letting Emperor Yonghe see the confusion in his eyes:

"What does the emperor want my son to do in Mingzhou?"

"Mingzhou is plagued by banditry, and it's time to solve it completely. You can go, so I can rest assured."

Ah, so it is.Wei Huai'en understood that Emperor Yonghe was sure that the "unkindness" in her mouth was not enough, he insisted on her doing something substantial to offend Prince Duan, let him suffer this loss, and be relieved of the so-called kindness.

The banditry in Mingzhou asked her to go and suppress it, and she was slapping Duan Wang in the face severely.First, Marquis Dingyuan colluded with the government order of Mingzhou, and then sent her, an enemy, to Mingzhou, making it clear that he did not trust Prince Duan.

Wei Huai'en received the order on the ground: "My son obeys the order."

"Go ahead, let Le Wuyou help you if you need anything, be careful on the road, go early and return early."

"Yes."

Emperor Yonghe closed his eyes again, and Budu came over, reaching out his hand to Wei Huai'en to help her get up, but Wei Huai'en didn't appreciate it, and stood up by himself with the hem of the complicated palace dress.

Budu watched her back leave the Chenji Palace, until the vermilion figure melted away from the palace wall, like a vermilion wall and gold tiles, she was everywhere.

"Little monk, what's your name?"

"Do not cross? Which one does not? The spring breeze does not pass or the light boat does not cross?"

"Who am I? I won't tell you, anyway, you have to play with me, or I will bully you just like them."

"I don't know when I will come to Huang'en Temple next time, but as long as I come, I will play with you, Lagou."

She obviously liked him very much before, why does she even hate him now?
Amitabha, Amitabha.

Even before going to court, it took less than an hour for the news from the palace wall to reach the various houses in the capital.

Princess Jiarou mainly took Xuanyu Division's personnel to Mingzhou to recruit government soldiers to suppress the bandits on the spot, and the grain and grass supplies she had been handling in the northwest and northern borders were also handed over to King Duan.

The two parties were considered a tie in the beginning of Yonghe 43 years.This year's cold winter, there have been several snowfalls in the capital, and the white disaster in the capital city of the northern border is also in urgent need of rescue. Beidi is even more difficult. If we don't prepare early, it is difficult to guarantee that the border will not be disturbed.

Duan Wang's errand is important, but it's also like walking on eggshells.Although Jiarou was transferred away from the capital, she stepped on King Duan's headquarters in Mingzhou.

Emperor Yonghe's arrangement has always been so balanced, and King Rong's confinement period is about to end, and a new force is about to move.

Some courtiers ran around in the snow in private, while others watched from the sidelines. In any case, everyone felt the great changes in the future, but no one could tell which side to bet on.

After returning home, Wei Huai'en closed the door and thanked the guests on the grounds that he was preparing to leave. He only waited for the sun to shine in the past few days, and the snow melted on the road before setting off.

Except for Shangguan Luming who came to pay a visit once, the other people only need Shui Jing to deliver letters, or use secret letters to issue orders.No one knew what Wei Huai'en was thinking, because she locked herself in the bedroom all day long, and she couldn't enter it at leisure.

The atmosphere in the princess mansion was gloomy, only the idle guards in the outer courtyard practiced vigorously on the school ground every day, looking forward to making some contributions during the trip to Mingzhou.The inner courtyard was full of gloomy clouds, and even Qiong'er, the most lively, couldn't get up the energy to fight with the sisters.

Eunuch Le was easy to talk and gave Xiao Qi the task of accompanying him, but Xiao Qi still didn't have the courage to talk to Wei Huai'en.

There is no other reason, Wei Huai'en is very kind when she recovers, even the most ordinary palace people think of her well.But after all, she is His Highness who has been used to being proud among the palace walls since she was a child. If she is really angry with someone, even a corner of her clothes will reveal her annoyance.

Dongqing asked Xiao Qi to drink a few more times, and finally one time Xiao Qi went out and drank the whole pot. Under the instigation of all the brothers, he knocked on the door of Wei Huai'en's palace alone with a face full of alcohol.

But after only knocking twice, he lost his temper, and was even a little nervous, afraid that he would make her unhappy even more.

After calculating the time, maybe she has already rested?There seemed to be no sound in the hall, so he wanted to escape.

"Who should I be? It turns out to be you."

He turned around, and the door behind him was opened.It turned out that he drank too much to numb his senses and couldn't hear her barefoot footsteps.

Wei Huai'en's expression was light, he looked very tired, and his eyes were a little black and blue. It seems that no one dared to persuade her in the past few days.

Xiao Qi didn't salute for the first time, but squeezed into the hall and closed the door, lest she blow the wind to make the wind and cold break out again.

"I have something to tell you..."

Wei Huai'en just raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, Xiao Qi sank down by himself, hesitated for a long time without saying anything.Dongqing couldn't remember a word of the witticisms that those dog-headed military divisions had put together.

As long as he saw her, he couldn't help thinking about what happened that night, but he made himself clench his fists in embarrassment.

Wei Huai'en lost his patience first, turned around and walked to the desk:

"If you can't speak, get out of here."

In fact, Wei Huai'en just forgot to use "Ben Gong" because he was extremely tired, but Xiao Qi grasped her words keenly.

Such a close "you and me" gave him courage again, so that he not only did not go out, but also took off his cloak and followed Wei Huai'en to the desk, graciously helping her grind ink.

It is very difficult for a shameless person to get angry with a shameless person. Xiao Qi's behavior of being a snake on a stick made Wei Huai'en very speechless.

But the coldness was also coldness, the alienation was also alienated, and he was told to go out. Even if this person stayed and refused to leave, Wei Huai'en didn't bother to drive him away, and simply pretended that he didn't exist.

but……

"you've been drinking?"

Wei Huai'en smelled the alcohol on him and wrinkled his nose.

Xiao Qi hurriedly backed away several steps, knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"Yes, the slave will go out now."

"Okay, the whole room is full of smell, there's no time for you to go out now."

The smell on his body is actually not bad. When Wei Huai'en was defending the city two years ago, Wei Huai'en had smelled all kinds of smells. Even the hot golden juice could make people pour it on the enemy without changing his expression. How could he be so delicate.

Or she didn't even realize that she always gave in too much and indulged Xiao Qi too much.What's more, Xiao Qi is such a person who pays attention to his appearance, even if he drinks wine, he only has a pleasant fragrance and is very drunk.

"It took so many days to apologize, and I didn't have the guts to come to see me until I drank..."

Wei Huai'en should be writing some gnashing of teeth letter. The same emotion can not only make the writing more energetic, but also make Xiao Qi's head hang lower and lower, panicked with embarrassment.

"Snapped."

Wei Huai'en threw the pen into the brush washer, blew on the pen and ink, then carefully sealed it, and finally freed up to deal with Xiao Qi.

"Don't tell me that you haven't thought about anything other than that for the past few days. Have you checked out the details of the accompanying Xuan Yuwei? Did the person who came in by King Duan Rong send someone to watch? The one who went to Mingzhou Is the equipment ready? Have the documents from the Ministry of War been rushed out?"

Wei Huai'en asked him several questions in one breath, but Xiao Qi handled all of them properly. Anyway, Wei Huai'en felt that he was at least a usable person, so he was pleasing to the eye.

Love only occupies a very small part of her life, and she can indulge occasionally for this fun, but if she really cares about someone and cares about someone, it would be too much of a waste of her time.

If Xiao Qi just came to talk about feelings today, he would really touch her bad luck, and there would be no chance of turning around.

"Who offended you? Maybe the slave can share the master's worries?"

Looking at the secret letters she sent out like snowflakes in the past few days, Xiao Qi probably guessed that what she wanted to do had encountered obstacles.

Spying secretly was where he could help her, so he couldn't wait for her to say a few more words, at least to bring the relationship between the two back to the level of master and confidant.

"Who else could..."

For Wei Huai'en, he could only talk about this topic when he was alone with Xiao Qi.

"Isn't it because the gentry in Mingzhou put pressure on me before I left? In the past, Quail seemed to be impartial, but in fact it was King Duan's back-up.

I really don't understand, why is ancestor so important?They are lying on the credit book one by one, how can they have any real skills?

True heroes are naturally admired by everyone, but there are many people who shame the family. They want to use the shadow of their ancestors to improve themselves. If the ancestors are alive, they may clean up the family first. "

Xiao Qi naturally knew who Wei Huai'en did not nominate and scold those who mentioned their surnames, so he secretly made a few notes in his heart, and then comforted him:
"Master, don't worry. Their clan inheritance is in Mingzhou. Naturally, they are worried that their whole body will be affected if they stand in the wrong team. The servant will find a way to beat them tomorrow, so that they will not dare to hinder the master's plan to suppress bandits. "

"Is the clan for inheritance?"

His words reminded Wei Huai'en, made her jump out of the mess with those mediocre people, and cleared up this chaotic entanglement a lot.

"Since my father came to the throne, more than a hundred families have been plowed out, and countless families have been supported. Their clans are obviously a set of things to consolidate their interests.

In the end, either I became a local snake with deep roots and entrenched in one side, or my nepotism was intertwined and became a crazy party. I am unwilling to protect their interests, so they dare to blatantly conceal the situation to affect my preparations.

OK, that's great.I think their days are coming to an end. "

"How dare they lie to you?"

Xiao Qi also frowned, already moving a sword in his heart.

"Why, you are also a person who has been to the northern state capital, don't you know the ability of the people below to balance accounts?"

Although these things are said to be annoying, Wei Huai'en has a sense of accomplishment in teaching Xiao Qi.

Because Xiao Qi is her blank paper, his ideas and concepts are all shaped by her, he will only listen, and then use her perspective to help her solve problems, always reliable, and never betrayal.

"If it's just those officials who deceive me, that's fine. After all, the assessment system is in place, and it's only natural for them to do this for promotion and political achievements.

But my spies in Mingzhou can hardly hear the truth from the mouths of the common people, which is extremely absurd.The local tyrants are self-contained, and they speak very strictly from top to bottom, and even spontaneously monitor the movements of foreigners.

I don't know if I'm going this time to suppress bandits, or to eradicate these deep-rooted cancers.

The people of Mingzhou have always favored boys over girls. My father sent me there. It's hard to say that it wasn't for me to recognize the reality, or he was waiting for me to gain power from now on, and to reverse the injustice against women in the world before he really sent me. Into the eyes? "

　There is no male second.How could such a dazzling Wei Huaien female goose only attract Xiao Qi, an idiot, but she didn't like anyone except Xiao Qi.

　　Ask some Buddhist disciples to recite their scriptures well.

　　Ask for votes and comments
