On the way home, Nan Ji held a child in one hand and closed her eyes in silence.Xie Qing couldn't help but said to her: "A'nan, why are you bothering. If you don't want to, I'll tell His Majesty that he is not unreasonable."

Hearing this, Nan Ji opened her eyes.She glanced at Xie Qing, her eyes were abnormally bright, she said sharply to Xie Qing: "Don't make trouble. I have my plan!"

Xie Qing didn't understand why he "made trouble", he said to his wife in surprise: "But, you are obviously reluctant."

"I can't bear it! Of course I can't bear it!" Nan Ji's eyes flashed with fanaticism: "But it's because I can't bear it, I have to plan for their future!"

Xie Qing finally understood his wife's intentions and couldn't help laughing.He said softly to Nan Ji: "A'nan, you don't have to be like this. As long as our children are taught well, we don't have to worry about not having a good future; even if they don't become talents, I can ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. You have all these Don’t worry, let alone…”

"You? I just can't let my child be like you!" Nan Ji interrupted him meanly: "You yourself are abandoned by the superior, and your future is hopeless; it is rare that the middle palace is thinking about the old love, and the two children are begging the superior again." The favor. How could I miss such a great opportunity!"

Xie Qing was stunned.

"Hundreds of years from now, the crown prince will be the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign; the friendship in his youth was the deepest, and Chengming will surely have a good future. As for Hu'er," Nan Ji smiled, "Even if you can't be a queen, you can be a wife and a beauty." That's fine too."

The more Xie Qing listened, the more she got it wrong. She was planning for her son's future, which was barely acceptable, but——

"A'nan, don't think about it! Being a queen may not be such a great future," Xie Qing thought of his younger sister who fell into a lingering sick bed, and felt very sorry. "As for the lady and beauty, I thank Qing." Daughter, I will never be a concubine for anyone, not even the emperor!"

Xie Qing seldom spoke so harshly that Nan Ji just froze for a moment and didn't take it seriously.While tucking up her daughter's skirt, she taunted her: "The Great Sima resigned from office and returned to his hometown, but his superiors asked you to be the chief secretary of the Great Sima. Do you think you will have a bright future in this life? I've had enough and look at people with eyes." Your life, the future of your children can't be counted on you, but I can't ignore it as a mother."

Xie Qing opened his mouth depressed, but found that there was nothing to say, so he closed his mouth resentfully.He thought it would take a long time, even if he didn't say anything, Nan Ji would know about it gradually, so as to dispel these ridiculous thoughts.As for his daughter, he really didn't believe it. If he insisted, Zhao Yan could only marry her by force?

There was nothing to say in the night, Nan Ji was busy getting angry with Xie Qing, Xie Qing was busy getting angry with herself, the two went to rest after they got home.

A few days later, Xie Qing's son and daughter were sent to Guangming Palace.Xie had two more children in the harem, and they have lived a new life of chaos ever since.

The harem is flying like dogs and dogs, and the previous dynasty is not much better.Zhao Yan only wanted to recruit talents, and those who could not be filled by the central government were sent to various vassal states.The princes and kings were used to being carefree, and they didn't take it seriously at first, but after a long time, they obviously felt something different.

It turns out that the princes and kings appoint officials themselves, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can get by so-so.Rich and idle people have nothing to worry about all day long, so they have some special hobbies.For example, some people who like to rob good men and women from good families, lynch palace people, and despise ordinary people will occasionally cause one or two lives.But as long as no one stabs the emperor, it's not a big deal.But now it doesn't work.The officials that Zhao Yan only brought in were not in high positions, but they were in important positions; moreover, they were more upright than the other, and even princes and kings would be seriously impeached for such things as not being crowned, let alone human lives.

Years ago, something happened to Zhao Yuan, king of Chu, and he was stabbed in front of Zhao Yanzhi by a speech officer.Zhao Yuan was the son of Zhao Shun, the late emperor's half-brother, and he and Zhao Yan were only serious brothers.Zhao Yuan's martial arts is very good, his strength is superb, and he doesn't have any special hobbies, he just likes hunting or something.One day, when it snowed heavily, Zhao Yuan got excited and insisted on hunting, so the group went to the suburbs in a mighty way.There were few animals in the snowy weather, and Zhao Yuan didn't see a single one for a long time. When he was being irritable, there was a commotion in the bushes. Zhao Yuan shot an arrow with quick hands and eyes.As a result, the guard stepped forward to see that the man shot by the king of Chu was actually a person.

The people accompanying him were all panicked, Zhao Yuan saw that the prey had not been shot, but he had hurt himself, and his interest was greatly defeated.Hunter didn't want to fight anymore, and he didn't care about the man's life or death, so he turned his horse and left.

The bad is here.

The unjust dead ghost couldn't get rid of the pot at home, so he came out to find something to eat.As a result, the family members waited for nothing to return, and waited for nothing, so they went out to look for it.By the time someone found it, his body would have been completely cold.

The head of the family was shot to death, and the king of Chu's mark was clearly painted on the arrow.The hostess of that family suddenly became a widow with three young children in a bun, and she couldn't live her life right now.

People have no way to survive, so how can you care about your princes, nobles, and relatives.The woman went to the doctor in a hurry and complained everywhere, causing a commotion that made everyone in Pengcheng know about it.

Later, when Zhao Yuan was out of the palace, the woman stopped the driver in the street and cried loudly, Zhao Yuan was very annoyed.While pushing and shoving with the guards, the woman somehow bumped into a guard's halberd and died on the spot.

It was different from King Chu accidentally hurting people while hunting, this time he was on the street, so arrogant and domineering, disregarding human life, how many people saw it.Although most people dared not speak out, this matter was stabbed to the emperor in the end.

So it's completely impossible to be good.Not to mention, Lu Zhiyuan and Xiao Xian took turns to battle, and Zhao Yan only wanted to cut four counties in Chu State, but ended up cutting six.

On the surface, this matter seems to be over, but it is far from over.

Zhao Yuan and Zhao Xin had a close relationship when they were young, and they have been in contact with each other until now.After Zhao Xin heard about it, he gave Zhao Yan only a letter of seal, to the effect that everyone was connected by blood, and asked the emperor to forgive the king of Chu and give him a road to reform.

Zhao Yan just didn't understand at all that Chu's Nuo Da place, but he only cut six counties, why didn't he give Zhao Yuan a way to live, so Zhao Yan only took the letter in his hand for a moment, and was severely punished. fell to the ground.

"Look, Qing, King Guangling, you're too deceitful!" Zhao Yan was very puzzled, his sleeves brushed against the table, the cups and books fell to the ground, and the Boshan stove hit the bamboo lamp, both of them got out so far.

"I'm just going to cut down the six counties of Chu State—it's not a very rich place—how can I make it look like I want Zhao Yuan's life?!" Zhao Yan was furious, "Tell me, what is Zhao Xin's intention?" Why? Huaifang's stove is very hot, don't touch it!"

Xie Qing, who was about to pick up the Boshan furnace, withdrew his hand in embarrassment under the eyes of everyone.

Zhao Yan only treats Zhao Xin as always generous, and after all, this is their own brother's business.Therefore, Zhao Yan just lost his temper on his own, and no one answered.After that, it was getting late, and everyone dispersed.

Today it was not Xie Qing's turn to serve, but Xie Qing invited him to have an afternoon meal together, so after the end, Xie Qing went to the Jiaofang Hall.Xie Qing had only agreed with Zhao Yan before that he would live in Guangming Palace when he was serving, and he would go home when he was not serving.Then Xie Qing discovered that in the new arrangement, there were three servants every day, but Xie Qing would be there nine out of ten days.

Zhao Yan just came uninvited.He found that looking at the children can improve their mood a lot.Especially Huaiqing, who can already call "Ah Weng" vaguely, Zhao Yan just likes it so much that his heart melts, and he feels restless after not seeing each other for a day.

Xie Qing's two children were taken care of by Xie Hou.Empress Xie has become thinner since having two more children, but her spirit is much better than before.Empress Xie has been asking Xie Qing about Nanji recently, but Xie Qing didn't know anything about it, and she talked a lot about the two people's marriage.

So during the meal, Xie Qing remembered the matter that Nan Ji was going to marry her daughter to Ah Sui a few days ago, and felt depressed, which brought it to her face.

"Huaifang, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Yanzhi was very careful when encountering Xie Qing, and he quickly noticed Xie Qing's expression.

Xie Qing thought about it, and felt that the sooner Zhao Yan hadn't thought about the marriage of his children, the better.One of the people here is more related than the other, so Xie Qing didn't hide it, and told the whole content of the quarrel between him and Nan Ji the day before yesterday.In the end, Xie Qing euphemistically expressed his idea that he did not want Yu'er to marry into the emperor's family.

Although Zhao Yanzhi felt that Nan Ji was too snobbish, he had to say that the fact that his son married Xie Qing's daughter was very much to his liking.But Xie Qing made it clear that he didn't want to, and Zhao Yan couldn't make him unhappy because of what happened more than ten years later.So he didn't say anything dead, but just laughed and said, "Huaifang is too anxious. What are you talking about after more than ten years? If you don't like Ah Sui, I dare to rob your daughter." ?”

Zhao Yan has been bullying Xie Qing angrily after dinner, thinking of this official document, and talking about the memorial, they are all trivial things.Xie Qing was amused, seeing this posture, he would never even think about going home today.Thinking about how Nan Ji always told him that his nose was not his eyes or his eyes, Xie Qing decided to follow Zhao Yan and was only happy.

But since he wanted to stay, it was meaningless to talk about small things.Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Xie Qing mentioned Zhao Xin's memorial.

Xie Qing knew why Zhao Yan only showed favor to King Guangling and the Zhou family, and he did not shy away from it, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty is impulsive today. With His Majesty's 'valuation' to King Guangling, even if King Guangling doesn't know good from bad, His Majesty You shouldn't lose your temper so much. Otherwise, if it spreads, it's inevitable that some people will think too much."

Zhao Yan only sneered: "Then let them think about it. My cheap grandfather and elder brother are really shameful recently. It doesn't matter if it spreads, and it's time to beat them. He has the guts to show me something like this." , I really want to forget who is the ruler and who is the subject!"

Then, without waiting for Xie Qing to answer, Zhao Yan just said solemnly: "Huaifang, don't interfere with things that shouldn't be touched in the future. The Boshan stove that just burnt incense is very hot, and it will hurt you carefully."
