I don't think I'll survive this year

Seeing Yunniang go out, Yang Wentong heaved a sigh of relief.But he never calmed down for a moment, turned his head and urged Ji Huai to say straight: "Look, Yunniang is not bad-looking, and she has a good temper... You don't consider taking her into the palace?"

Immediately afterwards, he planned for him in a serious manner, "It's unlikely to be a concubine. Beauty and talent can still be considered. You are now in the harem..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Huaizhi stuffed vegetables with chopsticks into his mouth, "Eat yours, Matchmaker Yang."

Yang Wentong was not angry at all, he chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed and ate it, and sighed while shaking his head: "His Majesty feeds the meal with his own hands... This kind of treatment... I am afraid that few people can enjoy it." gone."

As he said that, his face showed aftertaste, as if he just ate some rare delicacy such as dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.

Hearing this, Ji Huai imitated those old foxes in the hall, showed an inscrutable smile, and said in a slow voice: "If you come to the palace, it's okay if I feed you every day."

The deliberately lowered voice seemed gloomy, not to mention the vague sight that fell on him in Xiasanlu.Yang Wentong shivered immediately, and without putting on a show, he shook his head and said repeatedly, "No need... I can't bear such a blessing... I can't bear it..."

After finishing speaking, he laughed dryly again, raised his chopsticks and urged: "This dish is not even steaming, so eat it quickly."

Ji Huai took a straight look at the cold dish that he stretched out his chopsticks, but he couldn't hold back his expression after all, and burst out laughing with a "puchi".

The two chattered and laughed and finished their dinner, when it was time to say goodbye, Ji Huaizhi also swept away the aggrieved and bored in the court hall for the past few days, and rushed to the palace briskly.

It's just that after breaking up, Yang Wentong's footsteps gradually slowed down, and his face became a little bit down.As the legitimate son of the Duke of Han, no matter how idle he is, he still has some understanding of the things in the court.

What's more, after knowing that it was Ji Huaizhi who took the position, he intentionally or unintentionally wandered around for a few times while his father was entertaining guests.After a period of time, I heard the news one, two, three. Although it is said that many places do not understand, but I can almost feel their attitude towards the new emperor... Although it is not very obvious, but the faint disapproval But it couldn't be concealed.

Yang Wentong gritted his teeth in anger. These people are really capable. They dare to ignore the emperor even if they are big officials... I don't even think about who gave them the jobs they are holding now!

Thinking about Ji Huaizhi's stupid temper, he immediately became more anxious and angry, and he didn't know if he didn't let others bully him.

But it's useless for him to be in a hurry here... He has no official title, and he only bears the title of the prince of the Duke's Mansion, even if he wants to help, he can't help...

Thinking back to when Ji Huaizhi entered the door today, he obviously had a gloomy face - that is my brother, how could he be bullied? 1

The more Yang Wentong thought about it, the more angry he became, his frivolous face was always showing, and now it was a little ferocious and distorted, showing a bit of horror under the deep night light...

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind with the attitude of a strong man breaking his wrists—isn't he just studying? !I just read it!

Of course, he didn't do it for the imperial examination. With his level of literacy, if he can really pass the first place, then there is something wrong with it.

——It's nothing more than to please the old man and ask him to ask someone to recommend him to the court.

Wentong, Wentong, just by looking at the name, you can tell what kind of expectations Han Hangong placed on this only son, but it's a pity... the old man went to the south to fight the rebellion not long after Mr. Yang was born.

First there was the civil strife in southern Xinjiang, and then there were Japanese pirates in the East China Sea. It took nearly ten years in a flash. When the old man finally had some leisure and was able to go home and have a look, he found that his son looked a little crooked—he was proficient in eating, drinking, and playing, and he was a half-time author of classics and history. I don't understand a sentence.

The Korean public was so angry that he fell on his back.But there is no way, just such a son, if he is angry, he has to find a way to straighten him.

Helpless, this kid just doesn't want to study.

Move it with emotion, understand it with reason?At the beginning, Mr. Han thought that he owed his son a little because he was not in the capital all year round, so he tried this gentle education method.

The results are predictable...

After coming down a few times, the old man was really angry, the general got angry, and he whipped him as soon as he took the whip... his back was covered in blood and flesh, and the brat didn't say a word of soft words, just stuck his neck and kept silent ... Every time the old lady from the mansion came to hear the news, protecting her precious grandson with tears in her eyes, pointing at Han Gong's nose and scolding the unfilial son...

On the top is my own mother, and on the bottom is my own son, what else can Han Gong do?In the end, I had to pinch my nose and admit it.

**********

With Yang Wentong's determination, Ji Huaizhi, who hurried back to the palace refreshed, naturally didn't know about it. If he knew, he would definitely tell him that he didn't have to go through such trouble. Just say hello.

Although he, the emperor, doesn't have much right to speak, it is still possible to appoint a small official. What's more, with Yang Wentong's status, it is normal to have some official positions on him. These stubble...

But in any case, there is no harm in reading more books.It would be a good thing to take this opportunity to let the elder son settle down.

**********

After a New Year's Eve that was not so lively but with many rules, Ji Huaizhi was about to face a new task—to welcome King An.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the vassal kings from all over the country would naturally come to Beijing to have an audience, but most of the vassal kings rushed over a few years ago, and after the meeting, they went back to their respective homes.

But King An, who was still thinking of the late emperor before his death, did not come.It is said that the barbarians from the north came to invade, and they couldn't get away for a while, and couldn't enter Beijing for a while.

Facing this pleading letter, Ji Huai curled his lips, noncommittal.I don't know if it's a real crime or a fake crime. The whole Jizhou is almost all his people, the capital is far away, and it's not impossible to lie about the news...

When he realized that his first thought when he saw the news was suspicion, Ji Huaizhi was startled—every day tossing with this group of courtiers who lacked loyalty but had a lot of thoughts, he was almost forced into delusion sick.

The profession of the emperor is really not done by humans!

However, King An finally came, just a few days after the new year.Calculating with his fingers, he guessed that this uncle would spend New Year's Eve on the road... Ji Huaizhi waited for the day to welcome King An with mixed feelings.

……

It had only snowed a few days ago, although the roads in the city had been cleared, the outside of the city was still a vast expanse of whiteness, Ji Huaizhi personally led all the officials out of the city to greet him.

A gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering, and the expression on his face was a bit bitter. In this age without down jackets, going out in the winter is simply torture...

The idea of ​​going out of the city to greet him was naturally not his own proposal, and the person who first suggested it was not important, anyway, the final result was that all the officials passed, and his resistance was useless.

Why is it necessary for Ji Huai to say it bluntly?If King An didn't want to rebel, he wouldn't have any extra thoughts because he didn't come to meet him; if King An wanted to rebel, even if he went to Jizhou to pick up people, it would be useless.

The reluctance on his face is naturally seen by those who care about him, and although the Li Wang and the chief assistant Yang Wanche who are closely following him cannot see his expression, they can probably guess it from his movements. Second, they all showed a little worry for a while.

Li Wang seemed to have hesitated for a while, but still raised his hand to summon someone, and whispered a few words in his ear.So not long after, Ji Huaizhi received a hand stove, and added a message, "Your Majesty is not afraid of the severe cold, and personally went out of the city to meet His Highness King An. It is really kind and affectionate. It's just that the weather is severe, Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body."

Ji Huaizhi was stunned for a moment, then looked sideways subconsciously, and saw Li Wang looking at him with concern, like an ordinary uncle who cares about his nephew, or a loyal courtier who cares about the emperor...

Facing this concerned look, Ji Huaizhi felt guilty for a moment, and began to doubt the reliability of that attribute value for the nth time.

But... the heart of defense is indispensable, for the sake of his own life, he would rather feel guilty...

With a warm hand stove in his pocket, Ji Huaizhi finally felt a little more comfortable, and his expression eased a lot.

Because of the emperor's patrol, the vicinity of the Taiping Gate was cleared out very early, and the roadsides were heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not seen.All the way out of the city gate unimpeded, the surroundings suddenly became empty, surrounded by a piece of silver, and a solid snow-colored path in the middle leads to the sky.

The time for Ji Huai to go straight out of the city was considered good. He looked along the path, and after a while, he saw a black shadow moving in the distance. The black shadow was getting closer and closer, gradually revealing its appearance—— It was three knights.

Ji Huaizhi was a little stunned, so King An brought two people to Beijing?This is too... shabby...

Some time ago, those vassal kings who came to Beijing were all with their families and families, and there were hundreds of people. In such a comparison, Wang An's side seemed to be even more desolate.

……

Speaking of which, hasn't King An invited him to be his son yet?Ordinarily, he is in his 30s, and he should have had an heir long ago. Otherwise, according to the court's rule that if no one inherits, the fief will be taken back, his years of business in Jizhou may be in vain...

Ji Huaizhi thought about it endlessly, and at the same time cast his eyes on An Wang who was in front. As that figure got closer, the appearance of the person who came was gradually becoming clearer.

like……

After seeing Wang An's appearance clearly, Ji Huaizhi only had this emotion in his heart.

King An is worthy of being the same mother and younger brother of the first emperor. They both have high noses and deep eyes, deep facial features, and a bit of mixed race. This makes Ji Huaizhi wonder whether the first queen mother has some barbarian blood.

Of course, he just thought about it in his mind. Now that the situation in the northern border is so tense, and the relationship between the court and King An is extremely delicate, if he really said that, people would have to understand 180 meanings.

It seems that Ji Huai has been looking at it for a long time, and the attribute frame of King An gradually appeared in his eyes.

—— Wisdom: 67 Martial Arts: 89 Ambition: 17 Loyalty: 92

"loyalty"

Ji Huaizhi blinked in disbelief, and looked again, the value of loyalty was still 92.

Ninety years of loyalty? !

It is not eunuchs and maids in the palace, not ordinary people, nor close friends whose "favor" has turned into "loyalty", but the vassal king—the vassal king who holds the military power and guards the frontier!
