Zhao Yanzhi ruthlessly threw the glazed cup containing the honey syrup and the memorabilia on the ground.

Xie Qing was startled.The shards of glass cups were scattered everywhere at Zhao Yanzhi's feet. He was afraid that these things would scratch Zhao Yanzhi, so he called people in and ran to clean them up himself.

Since Xie Qing was not valued by his family since he was a child, he was raised in a luxurious way, so it is impossible for him to do this job.Therefore, it is actually predictable that he cut his finger after picking up two pieces in a hurry.

Hearing Xie Qing's low cry, His Majesty the Emperor, who was sulking at the side and hadn't fully figured out why he was angry, glanced at the wound on his hand, and immediately put the matter of anger out of the blue.Zhao Yanzhi quickly stepped across the table, knelt down beside Xie Qing, took up the injured hand, and put the wound into his mouth without thinking.

Then both men petrified.

Even if it is the love of each other since childhood, this kind of behavior is a bit unusual.It's just that Zhao Yanzhi's set of movements is too fluent, as if he has rehearsed countless times.At that moment, Xie Qing suddenly had a strange thought: it turns out that little A Yuan treats the concubine so tenderly.It's just that although he is used to it naturally, he is too comfortable.

Xie Qing kept his expression of being struck by lightning, and snatched his finger back from the "Longkou".But when he tried to withdraw his hand, he found that Zhao Yanzhi was covering his hand tightly with a dull expression that was completely unaware of what happened.

When Xie Yuan and Wang Chun heard the sound and came in, what they saw was him, the monarch and his ministers, kneeling and sitting silently with strange expressions, while His Majesty the Emperor was still holding Xie Shizhong's hand.

It's just that he looked like he was holding some kind of rare treasure.

Alarmed, Xie Qing hurriedly got up and said he was going to bandage up, as if he didn't remember that there was a medical officer waiting next door; while Zhao Yanzhi kept the same expression all the time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Only Zhao Yanzhi knew that what he was thinking about all day was the wonderful tactile sensation when he put Xie Qing's fingers in his mouth, and the urge to see the blood in his whole body boil.Although it was only a bit of regret, it was enough to keep him thinking about it in his dreams.From then on, it seemed as if something in his body was waking up, and the fog that had been bothering him for many years suddenly became clear—obsession was engraved into the bone marrow, and the feelings that had been suppressed for many years, once they could no longer be suppressed, could be What should we do.

Mrs. Zhou, who was attending the bed today, felt that His Majesty the Emperor was very strange.Unlike usual, it is plain and perfunctory, today's emperor is gratifyingly maintaining a strange state: obviously his movements are abnormally devoted, but the whole process reveals the meaning of wandering in the sky, and he doesn't even know where his soul is flying.As if to confirm her guess, His Majesty the Emperor uttered a clear sentence at the moment when he reached the peak: "Ah Qing..."

The empress is young, and other people, whether it is the daughter of a new important official who entered the palace or the woman who already existed beside Zhao Yanzhi, can be called "the rain and the dew are all in the same place" - His Majesty the emperor really has no interest in any of them, and it is routine for them Perfunctory.Therefore, Zhao Yanzhi's entire harem maintains a rare and strange balance.But now it was different, the emperor had someone he cared about, no matter how high or low he was born, he would be a powerful threat.Mrs. Zhou felt that this balance was about to be broken, and she couldn't believe that the women here were really as gentle and harmless as they seemed.Once the emperor's favorite concubine appears, someone will definitely do something, and the harem will eventually be as dark as it has been in previous dynasties.

Imagining the coming unrest, Mrs. Zhou was even a little happy.What's so scary?Even if she died in a storm, it would be better than the stagnant water that can drive people crazy. At least, she worked hard to earn money.

In fact, she'll soon discover that she's worrying too much.The "woman" that His Majesty admired never appeared, and his harem was not very lively from the beginning to the end, until a big event happened many years later.However, that is another story.

Zhao Yanzhi felt perplexed and disturbed by the fact that he thought so much about Xie Qing, who was like a father and brother.He began to force himself to give up such thoughts, but was horrified to find that the long-standing obsession had taken root and could not be eradicated.This sent him into a new round of upset.

What's worse is that Xie Qing still has one month's servant time.Seeing him dangling in front of her every day, Zhao Yan really needs a lot of willpower to keep calm.He felt like a beast that had been hungry for too long, and only wanted to eat the person in front of him in order to get what he wanted.

But fortunately, such troubles that belonged to young people's minds were quickly overwhelmed by waves of troubles, the biggest one of which was Zhao Yanzhi's impeachment by the censor Lu Zhiyuan, the king of Guangling Zhao Xin. Memorials of coins.

In fact, it was legal for princes and kings to mint coins in the early days of this dynasty, but later, the disadvantages appeared one by one.For example, anyone who has a copper mountain in the fief can use it to mint money, which leads to the chaos of the currency system circulating in the market.This is not a big deal, the princes and kings cast all the money, so what is the court going to do with it?Wars require money, water conservancy repairs require money, and when natural disasters and man-made disasters catch up, they have to spend money desperately. Usually, the princes and kings are very happy to cast money, but when the country comes to spend money, it suddenly becomes One is poorer than the other, if this kind of thing is ignored, the country will not be able to survive for a long time - in the long run, everyone will go to make money, who will be engaged in production, and who will defend the country?Therefore, the first emperor abolished the power of nine oxen and two tigers in the first place, so that the right to mint money was returned to the central government.

However, the coin molds are simple and the materials are relatively easy to obtain. Although the law is in the front, it is not known how many people are secretly obedient and violative.

It's just that it's a bit outrageous for a son to openly violate his father's laws before his father's bones are cold.

Zhao Yan only knew a little about this.But now it's far from the time to tear up the face with Zhao Xin and the Zhou family, so he originally planned to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and settle accounts after the fall.

But now that Dr. Yushi wrote the letter himself, he really couldn't pretend that this hadn't happened.

As we all know, Lu Zhiyuan, the imperial censor, is a strict and rigid person, with a clean eye, and he is not usually serious.There was a time when a certain minister wore his crown a little crookedly at a court meeting, but he was caught by Lu Zhiyuan and impeached, and he was so ashamed and indignant. Never die.

At this time, Zhao Yanzhi's resentment towards his eldest brother turned out to be that he minted coins privately, but could he be less ostentatious.This is great, this old thorn has come to the door, how can I pretend not to know!

Distraught, Zhao Yanzhi played Tai Chi with Lu Zhiyuan for a month.Whenever he was arguing with Lu Zhiyuan, those members of the Zhou family maintained a happy onlooker mentality and kept silent; and Gu Shenxing also acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and didn't say a word for him; The others, since it was hard to say whether this kind of matter was a state matter or an emperor's family matter, were uncomfortable to speak, and they also kept silent.The only person who spoke was Xiao Xian, a Chinese doctor who spoke generously at Zhao Yanzhi's enthronement ceremony—but every time he gave Lu Zhiyuan his support.

Fortunately, the new year is finally here, although it will be very busy, but after all, there is a long holiday, so there is no need to see the long way to go to Zhao Xin.

Xie Qing's one-month "sentence" came to an end, and he just returned to the newly bought house for his annual leave.Probably really tired, for five days in a row, Zhao Yanzhi didn't even see anyone else.Although Zhao Yanzhi felt uncomfortable when he saw Xie Qing recently, once he couldn't see him anymore, he would also have trouble sleeping and eating.

On the sixth day, Xie Yuan asked to see him.

Unlike Xie Qing, who holds Zhao Yanzhi in his hands and loves him, but also strictly controls him, Xie Yuan and Zhao Yanzhi have always been playmates.Xie Yuan is completely a dandy with no ambitions, he is idle all day long, and is not proficient in anything except playing; now that Zhao Yanzhi is the emperor, he is open-minded, and never talks about so many important matters of dignity, etiquette and military affairs, which really puts the "jester" The characters are played to the fullest.

Xie Yuan is not as good as his elder brother in other aspects, but when it comes to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, he can easily beat Xie Qing eight streets.In the eight streets and nine alleys of Chang'an City, Xie Yuan is also considered to be a leader among the countless dandies who are proficient in this way, so much so that every time Prime Minister Xie saw him, he would routinely scold him for not being up to date.Xie Yuan was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, he didn't care about being beaten or scolded, turned his face away and continued to do whatever he did, Xiang Xie was helpless - he was too busy to spare time to teach his son.

Zhao Yanzhi is in a good mood every time he sees Xie Yuan, because every time Xie Yuan comes to see him, there must be something novel.

But this time Xie Yuan came empty-handed.Seeing Zhao Yanzhi's curious face, he didn't want to say anything, but he made a special salute in a proper manner, and deliberately sang his praises and talked endlessly in the New Year.It wasn't until Zhao Yanzhi couldn't help but ask him why he came that he smiled and said, "That's nothing, it's just that I got some good things recently."

Zhao Yanzhi didn't have so many rules when he was with him in private. If we really want to talk about it, Xie Yuan is not serious, and Zhao Yanzhi didn't pass by.Seeing Xie Yuan winking and refusing to speak, His Majesty the Emperor said impatiently: "Don't be fooled, where are the things? Why didn't I see it?"

"Oh, that's nothing, it's just that I got some beauties recently." Xie Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said.

Hearing the "beauty" Zhao Yanzhi immediately lost interest.Now there is no shortage of beauties in his palace, and it's too late to get bored. As for other people's beauties, thank God, don't give them to him, he has no interest at all.

Seeing that Zhao Yanzhi was not interested or annoyed, Xie Yuan just leaned over and whispered something, Zhao Yanzhi listened intently, his face remained calm, but a suspicious red appeared on the tips of his ears.
