Yan Cigui

Chapter 40 I'm ashamed for him

When Xu Jian walked into the imperial study, the Holy Majesty was having some snacks.

There were thick papers piled up on the big case, and Eunuch Cao sorted it out, took out the reviewed ones, and handed them over to the third servant by the servant.

Xu Jian bowed respectfully.

The Holy Majesty pointed to the chair beside him and motioned him to sit down: "Why are you here at this time?"

Xu Jian lowered his eyes and said earnestly, "I come to plead guilty."

After the imperial court, the movement in the Golden Luan Hall had naturally reached the ears of the Holy Majesty. He knew it well, but he didn't point it out.

"It's the minister who is idle. He knew Xu Guogong was unhappy, so he poked him a few words." Xu Jian paused, and seeing the Holy Master pursed his lips and looked at him, he said, "It's true and unnecessary."

After hearing this, the Holy Majesty seemed to have thought of something, and put down the teacup he had just picked up: "You feel free, so why bother to resign from the Ministry of War?"

"It's just hanging there, there are not many ministers, and there are not many ministers," Xu Jian deliberately said bluntly. After finishing speaking, guessing the emperor's temper, he added, "You know, Chen Zhi not here..."

Where Xu Jian's ambition is, the Holy One is clear.

Therefore, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Jian's right leg, and his dissatisfaction with that blunt sentence receded a lot.

"I……"

The Holy Majesty was about to call Xu Jian for a few more words, when someone reported outside that it was the fifth son of Uncle Enrong's mansion who had come.

"Let him wait..." In the middle of speaking, the Holy Majesty changed his mind.

Xia Qinglue was familiar with Xu Jian, so asking him to explain a few words together might be effective.

He said, "Let him in."

Xia Qinglue entered the Imperial Palace and saluted the Holy Majesty.

The Holy One asked, "What are you here for?"

Xia Qing smiled slightly, sat down on the empty chair beside Xu Jian, and took the snacks and teacup from Eunuch Cao.

"Fragrant!" He took a deep breath and said, "Come to talk to you about the fun."

The Holy Majesty always liked to listen to Xia Qinglue's stories, but now when he mentioned it, he frowned: "What's the excitement? Don't let it be about Xu Guogong's son again. I don't like to listen to the smoky atmosphere!"

He has listened to two morning courts in a row.

What kind of little boy is lighting a fire, what is crying outside, what is a group of five people, and the materials on their bodies are not enough for one person to wear neatly together...

That was the Palace of the Golden Luan, the place where he discussed the important affairs of the court with the civil and military ministers, but it turned into a teahouse, and it was still a teahouse that spoke vulgar Chinese.

Just a handful of nuts in hand.

It's really outrageous!
"But this is the most lively one right now," Xia Qinglue was entrusted to come here, of course he wanted to continue talking about this one, "Su Ke is still kneeling outside Chengyi's mansion right now."

Your Majesty: ...

Xia Qinglue just pretended not to see His Majesty's boredom: "Uncle Chengyi is on leave for three days, and the old lady is still in the Empress Dowager's estate, so she was too frightened to come back to Beijing, it looks like she doesn't want this relationship anymore. "

The Holy One took a deep breath.

It's okay, this paragraph is not so smoky.

"You're not from the Bofu, you still know what they think?" The Holy Majesty commented.

Speaking of this, Xia Qinglue got even more excited: "I heard from Nanny Yu who is beside my grandmother that Princess Ning'an was besieged outside the uncle's house yesterday, and she went to rescue her. From the beginning to the end, the princess is just like that. Meaning. That’s right, I heard that the princess’s car has never come back, and he seems to be hiding in the Compassionate Ning Palace.”

The word "refuge" is quite vivid.

The emperor wanted to put on a sullen face, but when he saw Xu Jian burst out laughing, he couldn't hold back his laughter and shook his head after being surrounded by this.

"Little girl Ning'an, how can she be the master?" The sage said, "Although Su Ke is a bit outrageous, how can we be careless about marriage?"

He let Xia Qinglue in to persuade Xu Jian.

He wasn't very interested in Su Ke's nonsense, so he dealt with it casually, and was about to twist the words back.

Xu Jian saw it, and hurriedly said, before the sage changed the subject, "I think that the two families are just engaged and not yet married, and my uncle will cause such a big disturbance in the future. , I am afraid that other families will not dare to make kisses at will."

The Holy One was taken aback, and said, "That's not what I said."

"Which royal cousin do you dare to recruit such a son-in-law?" Xia Qing said quickly, "I don't want that kind of cousin-in-law, I'm afraid I can't help kicking him."

Rubbing his swollen temples, His Majesty nodded Xia Qinglue: "How many of the honorable sons of the Manchu dynasty are the same as the one in Xu Guogong's mansion?"

"Never forget the past and be the teacher of the future," Xia Qinglue shook his head, "It's fine for Su Ke to make such a fuss, why don't you hurry up and learn from him?"

Your Majesty: ...

The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.

There are also things to learn from, Su Ke's way of mixing men and women together, is it something that ordinary people can learn if they want to?

"I told you to make your eyes shine." The Holy One was also used to Xia Qinglue's playful smile, and said, "Okay, you can get out first, I still have something to say to Xu Jian."

He could see clearly.

This kid's mind is all on watching the bustle of Xu Guogong's mansion today, let him help beat and persuade Xu Jian...

Just don't hold back.

Xia Qinglue quietly gave Xu Jian a look of "I did my best", and retreated politely.

"What did I talk to you about earlier?" His Majesty took a sip of his tea to calm his mind, "That's right, that's not your ambition.

We have conflicts with Xiliang Beidi from time to time. I know that you want to go to the border to experience and lead troops in battle, instead of sitting in the yamen of the Ministry of War and watching the military reports ahead.

However, your leg is hurt.

It looks like you are walking smoothly, but I ask you, do you dare to run?Do you dare to kick someone with your right leg?

You also know that you can't do it, so you came back to Beijing from the border. "

Xu Jian didn't speak.

The Holy Majesty looked at Xu Jian's lonely expression, heaved a long sigh in his heart, and glanced at Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao understood, and retreated outside the study to guard.

The Holy Majesty lowered his voice a lot: "I am ashamed of your leg injury, if Shaoer didn't know the severity..."

"You don't need to feel guilty," Xu Jian's tone was very flat, neither sad nor happy, "I am a subject of the Li family, and it is only natural to protect His Highness the Crown Prince, let alone a leg, and it is also right to protect each other with your life."

"You are still young, if one road is blocked, then go another way." Seeing Xu Jian frowning and about to speak, the Holy Majesty stopped him, "Do you really want to be a playboy like you poked Xu Guogong?" ?”

Xu Jian smiled.

"I still mean the same thing as before," said the Holy Master earnestly, "If you don't want to go to the Ministry of War, you can go to other yamen. You can choose one yourself. As the Duke of the country, you have the ability. Don't bury yourself, it will let you show your ambitions." There are many more places.”

"Thank you, Majesty, for your love." Xu Jian put away her smile, pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It's just His Highness, I don't want to provoke His Highness's eyes."

"I can see that Shao'er regrets and blames himself very much," said the saint.

"Your Majesty knows," Xu Jian lowered his eyes, keeping his emotions in his eyes without revealing the slightest bit, "It is precisely because of His Highness's meticulous thoughts that I am not willing to walk in front of His Highness, so that I will remind His Highness all the time, what is wrong with my legs?" Hurt. If His Highness is heartless, it would be easy."

This time, the Holy One let out a long sigh.

After a long time, he said: "I miss your grandfather very much, and I also cherish talents very much. Let me think about it again."

Xu Jian stood up and left.

He retreated to the long curtain, and when he heard the Holy Master calling him, he stopped in his tracks again.

"Sit down for a while, and have dinner with me later," said the saint.

Xu Jian showed a look of embarrassment: "I was thinking of going to Uncle Enrong's mansion with Xia Qinglue, and take a look at Su Ke who is kneeling outside Uncle Chengyi's mansion."

The Holy Majesty's face fell.

Instead of targeting Xu Jian, he called Eunuch Cao over.

"Go and tell Xu Guogong to take his son home and kneel outside other people's houses, what kind of a thing is that? Isn't that shameful enough?" The Holy One scolded, "I'm so ashamed for him!"
