This shadow guard is kinda nice

Near the end of the year, Jinling City is extremely lively. Red lanterns can be seen everywhere, emitting a faint red light. The shouts of vendors come and go, and the cheerful laughter of children spreads all over the streets and alleys. The New Year atmosphere is everywhere.

Except for the Chinese New Year, what the people are talking about most recently is King Xuan.

It is rumored that King Xuan has a sweetheart, and that sweetheart has been favored by him for many years. This time in Pingyao, the Zhao family has offended King Xuan, and King Xuan is furious because of this...

After tea and dinner, King Xuan's short story books are circulating everywhere in the streets and alleys. The sales of short story books such as "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me", "The Years I Became the Prince's Favorite", and "The World Cannot Compare to Her" have soared all the way. Widely acclaimed.

The women in Jinling were even more heartbroken, and at the same time bought a small story book, and would read it for a while if they had nothing to do, wanting to see what kind of woman could be favored by the prince.

When Lin Sheng came out from Zuiyue Tower, he was holding a thick stack of short story books, all of which he bought from the girls in the brothel. In addition to their outstanding looks, the girls reluctantly gave up their love and sold the short story books. gave him.

After Lin Sheng returned home, he cleaned his hands and put the short story book on the table. He sat upright on the chair and opened "The Country Is Not as Good as Her" quite reverently.

After a while, he closed the short story book with a snap, and shook his head, it was too ridiculous, too ridiculous, he made it up more realistically than this.

The person whom King Xuan has kept in his heart for many years, his appearance is comparable to a fairy in the sky, and his beauty is peerless.Why does King Xuan make a promise that he will only love her in this life, the picturesque country can't compare to her smile like a flower...

But fuck him, he and Xiao Yichen lived in the frontier for four years, how come he has never seen such a beautiful person, let alone a beauty, he has rarely even seen a woman.

He glanced at the small storybook on the table in disgust, wasting his time and money in vain.

After a while, he called the butler to come in, "Pack up these small story books and send them to King Xuan."

Compared with the outrageous folk rumors, the news sent back by the forbidden army is much more reliable.

"Holding a man?" The emperor put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and asked in disbelief.

Wei Jue met the emperor's majestic gaze, and he affirmed, "Yes."

"Prince Xuan went out and didn't return all night. He brought a man back the next day. After that, no one else will be allowed to approach the courtyard."

"That man is still the Shadow Guard following him."

The emperor was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.

His son, a majestic prince, went out with a man.

Before he could think about it, Wei Jue said: "In Pingyao, when King Xuan sent people to search for patients, there was a conflict between the two parties, and two people died. After that, King Xuan locked up everyone present. Get up, some people are dissatisfied, a group of people went to the gate of the prefect's mansion to make a fuss, King Xuan was sent away."

The emperor was completely speechless now.

He knew that Xiao Yichen had a strong temper, and he had never been an easy-talking person. He didn't expect that after several years in the frontier, he hadn't smoothed his temper, and he was still like this.

The emperor was pondering, and the people serving beside him were also afraid of making a little noise, which would disturb His Majesty.

He didn't like Xiao Yichen, but he wouldn't treat things like Jiangshan Sheji as a joke, so after thinking about it for a long time, the emperor decided to send someone to Pingyao again.

The situation in Pingyao should not be underestimated. Moreover, some people have already gone to the gate of the prefect's mansion to cause trouble, so it can be seen that the people have already aroused anger. Xiao Yichen's temperament is strong, he acts decisively, says what he says, and his methods are too tough. With such a result, he still has to send people there , to assist Xiao Yichen, it is still not enough for him to deal with the situation in Pingyao alone.

For anything else, wait until the plague is completely under control before making any plans.

As for who he wants to get together with, let him go, as long as he doesn't say it publicly, it's fine.

But who should we send this time?The emperor thought about it for a long time. Those with low official positions were inappropriate, and those with too high positions should not be. After thinking about it, most of the officials in the court were rejected by him.

In desperation, he set his sights on the fourth son who is also a prince. Although he is a bit of a dandy and his mind is not on the right path, but in terms of dealing with people, he is not smooth, and he complements the fifth son just a bit, and handles things It's okay to come.

The emperor knew what was in his mind, so he didn't get entangled in this matter any longer. He turned his head and asked about other things.

"How about Xuanjia Camp?"

On the second day after Xiao Yichen left Jinling, Wei Jue was sent to the Xuanjia Camp again. Wei Jue was unwilling at first, but the emperor's order was hard to violate, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

This time he restrained himself a lot, and he didn't take the imperial guards with him to ostentatiously go. He was alone in the Xuanjia Camp, turning a blind eye to Lin Sheng, but he was quite at ease.

It's just that when the emperor asks, it's hard to explain, just like now.

Wei Jue was silent for a moment, then he lowered his head and said in a calm voice, "No progress has been made yet."

The emperor had expected it in his heart, but he still felt a little uncomfortable hearing what Wei Jue said.

There is a thorn in his heart all the time, he wants to pull it out but he can't, letting it go will only make him more uncomfortable.

"The fifth young master said that it will take a few months before he can return to Beijing. I will only give you these few months. If it is really impossible to completely bring this army back, then..."

The emperor didn't say the following words, and Wei Jue understood what he meant, he nodded in agreement, but he couldn't guarantee anything, he could only do his best.

As for the final result, it depends on God's will, he can't control it.

After Wei Jue left, the emperor himself drafted the imperial edict.

The next day, King Cheng Xiao Beining set off for Pingyao.

Prime Minister's House.

Sun Baizhi returned home, changed into normal clothes, and teased the parrot he had raised some time ago. The parrot flapped its wings, its fluff was smooth and soft, and Sun Baizhi smiled.

He was about to teach it to say a few words, but the housekeeper came over and told Sun Baizhi that Master Shuwei, Minister of Rites, is here.

Sun Baizhi raised his eyebrows, he put down the teaser in his hand, and turned around.

The butler bent slightly and said in a low voice, "Please go to the main hall."

When Sun Baizhi left, Wei Jun was sitting on a chair, drinking tea slowly, he waved away the servants, and there were only two of them in the main hall.

"Master Wei."

Wei Jun put down his teacup, he stood up, bowed slightly, "Prime Minister."

Sun Baizhi raised his hand to help him, and the two sat down together, Wei Jun didn't go around with him, and immediately said: "The prime minister must have heard about what King Xuan did in Pingyao."

Sun Baizhi nodded, and he waited calmly for Wei Jun to continue.

"I won't say that he loves men, and His Majesty doesn't care about it. Two people died in the Pingyao Zhao family, and he arrested many people and put them in prison. I won't say that. The point is that there is Zhao Kai in that group. "

"Who?" Sun Baizhi was a little taken aback, he thought he heard it wrong.

"Zhao Jin's son - Zhao Kai."

Sun Baizhi heard clearly now, and even frowned.

"Why did he send his son to Pingyao?"

Wei Jun shook his head, who knows.

Sun Baizhi was silent, and the two sat for a long while before Sun Baizhi said, "Is the death of those two people related to Zhao Kai?"

Wei Jun said: "I'm not sure, but eight out of ten, he did it."

"Did King Xuan find out?"

Wei Jun shook his head, "Not yet, his mind should be on that man now, and he can't care about other things."

Sun Baizhi's brows relaxed a little.

"He asked the prefect of Pingyao to interrogate these people. I don't know what can be interrogated in the end."

"Zhao Jin asked you to come?" Sun Baizhi asked suddenly without answering his words.

Wei Jun hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, the officer that Zhao Jin was looking for yesterday, let me talk to you, Prime Minister."

"He is also worried about his son."

Sun Baizhi was noncommittal, "If there is no King Xuan, it will be easy," he stared at Wei Jun, "It is not easy to get someone from King Xuan."

"Prime Minister, don't worry," Wei Jun took out a thick stack of papers from his arms, and placed them in front of Sun Baizhi.

Sun Baizhi was unmoved, he looked at Wei Jun suspiciously, "What does Master Wei mean?"

"Lord Zhao knows that the Prime Minister does not lack these things, but it is also his wish," Wei Jun lowered his voice, and leaned into Sun Baizhi's ear, "Can the Prime Minister say a few words in front of the crown prince, and save Zhao Kai for him?" Just do it."

Sun Baizhi didn't answer him immediately, but was still thinking.

"How do you say, he is also working for the prince just like you, the prime minister, and the next official."

"Lord Zhao, you are even more loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Sun Baizhi raised his head and looked at Wei Jun. Although they were all working for His Royal Highness, compared to Zhao Jin, Wei Jun was more talkative in front of him, so Zhao Jin invited him to intercede. past.

After a while, Sun Baizhi put away the bank notes and the land deed, and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

Wei Jun pursed his lips, "Then I will thank the prime minister for Mr. Zhao."
