The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Perhaps the emperor originally planned to stay with Xiao Yanzhi for lunch, so the five personal guards selected for Xiao Yanzhi all came to the open space in front of Liangyi Hall and lined up.

When Lian Sheng, who had been waiting outside the Hall of Liangyi, saw Xiao Yanzhi coming out, he hurried to Xiao Yanzhi's side.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard, the morning is over?"

Xiao Yanzhi followed Zhao Kang to the left side of Liangyi Hall, and then walked down the high platform along a section of steps on the left side, shook his head and replied Lian Sheng: "Father and the adults are still discussing business inside, I want to come out and choose a Bodyguard."

When Lian Sheng heard this, he hurriedly looked at the five people standing upright in the middle of the open space, and said with a smile: "The slave girl also said that there are people from the Qinwei Mansion coming, so it turns out that they are going to choose someone for His Highness."

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly slowed down, and asked Lian Sheng, "Do you know those five people?"

When Lian Sheng heard the words, he glanced at Zhao Kang first, and then replied: "Your servant knows it, but I don't know if you remember it clearly. Master Zhao knows these things best. What this servant knows is also Mr. Zhao. taught."

Xiao Yanzhi frowned, pretending not to understand Lian Sheng's praise of Zhao Kang: "Really."

Zhao Kang rolled his eyes at Lian Sheng, and said: "Your Highness asks you, just say, if you are not sure, our family will correct it, and you can still talk nonsense?"

With his current status, can he compete with the people below for such a good opportunity?

"Master Zhao is right." Lian Sheng smiled innocently, and then introduced the five personal guards to Xiao Yanzhi one by one.

Xiao Yanzhi listened carefully, but the more he listened, the more headache he felt.

Aren't these five people all guards?Why are all of them born in official families?

After all the winning streak was introduced, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't remember much.

Zhao Kang has been paying attention to Xiao Yanzhi's reaction. Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't quite understand what he heard, he guessed Xiao Yanzhi's temperament and added: "That He Yan is the son of Taichang Siqing. My mother was born in a poor family, and the two older brothers above are both working in the local area, and their official ranks are not high. I heard that they both married wives in the local area where they worked. Among the five, they have the cleanest family background."

I heard that this person is highly valued by King Wu Cheng, but seeing how his Highness has a good relationship with King Wu Cheng, there is no need to talk about it, right?

Xiao Yanzhi stopped abruptly, looked at Zhao Kang with a smile and said, "If that's the case, let's go with this person."

After speaking, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and turned back up.

"Huh?" Stunned, Lian Sheng glanced at Zhao Kang in confusion, and hurried to catch up with Xiao Yanzhi, "Your Highness, then He Yan is... of no help to you."

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Lian Sheng with a smile, and said, "What help do I need? The people around me have good looks, and it's enough to be pleasing to the eye."

"Reward, pleasing to the eye?"

Lian Sheng still couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Xiao Yanzhi had already stepped into the Hall of Liangyi, Lian Sheng could only stop at the entrance of the Hall of Liangyi, and when he turned his head to see Zhao Kang leading He Yan to the front of the Hall of Liangyi, Lian Sheng was surprised , and hastened to greet him with a flattering smile.

"Master Zhao, Mr. Zhao." He Yan was chosen as the personal bodyguard of the eldest prince, so he should lead the way.

Zhao Kang gave Lian Sheng a cold look, and said, "His Royal Highness is easy-going, but you are still casually getting up? Do you want our family to ask someone to teach you the rules?"

Lian Sheng hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, forgive me."

Zhao Kang said coldly: "Now is the time when His Majesty values ​​the prince, you can handle it according to your own discretion, but don't turn the happy event into a funeral."

"Thank you for your advice, my lord." Just for a moment, Lian Sheng was covered in cold sweat.

With a cold snort, Zhao Kang turned his head to look at He Yan, with a smile on his face in an instant, and said kindly: "He Qinwei wait here for a while."

He Yan just bowed his hands to Zhao Kang and said nothing.

Zhao Kang nodded and stepped into the Hall of Liangyi.

In the Liangyi Hall, Xiao Yanzhi, who walked in first, attracted everyone's attention. Before the emperor finished a cup of tea after dinner, Xiao Yanzhi's bodyguards were selected, which was faster than everyone expected. .

"What? No one you like?" The emperor blew away the tea leaves floating on the tea, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a kind smile.

Xiao Yanzhi returned to his seat and sat down, saying: "The choice is made."

"Have you chosen? So fast?" The emperor looked a little more surprised, and then asked Zhao Kang who was chasing him, "Which one did Yanzhi choose?"

Zhao Kang cat bent his waist and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, he is the third son of Taichang Siqing, He Yan."

"Minister of Taichang Temple?" The emperor frowned, and wanted to say something to Xiao Yanzhi, but he couldn't speak due to the presence of others, "Call in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Kang immediately sent the little eunuch in the hall to see He Yan and called him in.

He Yan strode into the palace with his head held high, walked up to the emperor without looking sideways, and knelt down to salute: "I see Your Majesty."

"Free of ceremony," the emperor looked He Yan up and down, "I don't remember choosing you."

The ones he chose for Yanzhi were all from a strong family background, who could be his help and support, but how could he choose the one whose family members were the least useful?

He Yan looked at the ground with his head half down, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the personal guard who was supposed to come accidentally slipped his back yesterday, and the minister came to replace that person."

The emperor frowned, and asked Xiao Yanzhi again: "Yanzhi, you heard it too, he came here in the place of someone else, think again, do you want another one?"

"No need," Xiao Yanzhi replied without hesitation, "Thank you for your concern, father, but it's good for me to look at him, and he can take the place of others and come to me in front of me, so it can be regarded as a predestined relationship with me. .”

The emperor frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied, but unable to speak out.

Xu Liqian looked at He Yan, then looked at the emperor, and suddenly said: "Father, my son is curious about how the elder brother chooses the person. It took a lot of time for the elder brother to choose the candidate with the second brother, but the turn It's Brother Da Huang, and I haven't finished my cup of tea yet, Brother Da Huang's people came back, I'm really curious."

Could it be that they colluded early in the morning?But who could he, the big brother, collude with?Wu Chengwang?Shang Shu Zuo Cheng?Can't figure it out.

Being mentioned by Xu Liqian, the emperor also looked at Xiao Yanzhi curiously, and asked, "I am also curious. In other words, how did you choose?"

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at He Yan, and after thinking for a while, he said with a light smile, "This man looks majestic from a distance, but looks talented up close. His face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like bright stars. How wonderful!"

The emperor froze for a moment, and suddenly gave Xiao Yan a hard look.

"What's better? Are you choosing a concubine or a guard?"

He Yan was also very depressed after hearing this comment.He co-authored him to study hard for so many years, but in the end he won the favor of the prince by his appearance?What a disgrace to him!

In the past, even in front of the emperor, He Yan would have to reject this dishonest prince, but he was ordered by King Wu Cheng to replace the previous man, so he couldn't do anything wrong The matter of Wu Chengwang.

Hearing the emperor's question, Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyebrows and said innocently, "Isn't choosing a bodyguard similar to choosing a concubine?"
