thank you + extra

Xie Yi paused for a moment, her expression became a little tense, and she said flatly, "I'm not tired."

It was only then that Liu Zao thought, "I'm fine, but you must be tired." This sounds meaningful.In the past, she might have teased and thanked Xiang Xiang with words, but today she was disturbed by her white hair, she really didn't have such thoughts, she just said in a dull voice, "I made a slip of the tongue."

As soon as she admitted her mistake, Xie Yi's heart softened, and it was hard for her to utter words of reproach, so she said helplessly, "You are really disobedient."

Liu Zao didn't make any excuses, and said along with her, "I will be obedient next time, and I will definitely not move."

In this way, it is even more difficult for Xie Yi to continue talking, Mengmeng always likes to have the upper hand when it comes to bed matters, even when talking, she often deliberately teases her to make her blush.She didn't hate it, she was just inevitably shy.But this time, Mengmeng obeyed whatever she said, without any tricks.

She smiled and said softly, "Why are you so obedient today?"

Liu Zao glanced at her hair, the black hair was smooth, soft and gentle, but white hair had grown in it, she felt uncomfortable, sat up, and said without hesitation, "It's getting late, I should go, you are here. She paused, fearing that Xie Yi would leave early and go to bury the papers again, so she added, "I have something to talk to you when I get back."

These words were obviously an excuse to let her rest for a day.Seeing that Xie Yi couldn't persuade her, she had no choice but to let her go.Not long after, she also left the palace and went to the government office.

The biggest thing in recent days is to reward the meritorious officials. For the generals above, the court has already made a conclusion, but Yu Xiao is how to reward the few generals who have made great efforts even though they have not made great achievements.

This is a conflict of interests. Although the world is big and the official position is limited, everyone cannot be treated favorably. Ministers naturally have to fight for the merits of the generals who are close to them.When Xie Yi arrived, several ministers were already talking fiercely and would not give in to each other. When they saw her coming, they asked her to comment.

This is where the prime minister is useful. In addition to making decisions about the government, she also needs to coordinate all parties so that there will be no resentment in the court.

After all this busy work, in the evening, Zong Zhengqing came to visit after all his colleagues left.

Zong Zheng is a relative of the Liu family, with a noble status, he came here suddenly, Xie Yi stood up to greet him.Zong Zhengqing was very polite. Seeing the prime minister greet him, he raised his sleeves and said, "Don't blame me for making noise lately."

"You are a rare guest, why make such noise?" Xie Yi laughed, and welcomed him into the room and sat down.

She thought about it for a while, but she didn't think of Zongzheng's intention to come. This time, Zongzheng's family does not have any nephews who serve in the army, so there is no need to come forward at this time. Could it be that someone asked him to?She quickly thought of a few ministers who had made friends with Zongzheng, and wondered if there was something embarrassing in their family.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zong Zheng said, "I have something to discuss with the prime minister."

Xie Yi said, "Zongzheng might as well talk about it."

Zongzheng smiled, stroked his beard and said, "It's a big deal for you and my two families."

With this said, the intention is clear.Xie Yi's expression did not change, and said, "This matter has to be approved by His Majesty."

"Naturally. But after all, His Majesty is a daughter's family. If you want her to speak in person and talk about marriage, you and I will be negligent as elders." He said slowly, and then praised Xie Wen, "General Hussars, a young hero , Is there any woman who doesn’t love? Your Majesty’s kindness is profound, and his affection is already evident, what’s missing is the last step.”

Xie Yi smiled faintly and said, "I don't think Xie Wen is suitable for His Majesty."

Zong Zhengzheng was complacent, he was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you...this..." He couldn't figure it out, it was clearly a good thing, why did the prime minister refuse so quickly, he thought about persuading him again, but the prime minister had already got up and sat down Went after the desk.

This is what it means to send a guest.

Zongzheng sighed and had to leave in frustration.

On the way home, he ran into Wei Ting on the way, and he rushed forward to tell him about it.

When Li Wen heard this, his expression was a little strange, and he asked, "Did you go to talk to Mrs. Xie?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has such a heart. I am an elder, so I should do my best. In matters of marriage, it is always better for the man to come forward, so I wanted to communicate with Xie Xiang, but she refused immediately." Zong Zheng sighed Dao, I just feel that it is becoming more and more difficult to do things in this court, and doing good deeds depends on people's faces.

Li Wen couldn't bear to see him hit a wall in vain, and said, "Your Majesty may have other thoughts on this matter, just wait and see, don't get involved."

Zongzheng was very angry, and said without hesitation, "What else can you think about! Tell me clearly, Xie Wen is young and handsome, and his majesty even looks down on him. Does he have another love and can't stay together? "

Li Wen glanced at him and rode away.

Seeing that he was halfway through speaking, Zongzheng left inexplicably, and without knowing what to say, he shook his horsewhip angrily.In this dynasty, from the emperor to the ministers, monarchs and ministers, old and young, they all look weird and can't speak well.

As soon as Zongzheng left, Xie Yi also went back home.

Back in the mansion, Xie Wen was already waiting for her.Fenyin Hou's Mansion is nearby, so it is very convenient for him to come here.It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time, and he was not very stable sitting on the couch, so he leaned over and looked outside from time to time.

After finally waiting for his aunt to come back, he immediately got up, went to meet her, and saluted hastily, "Aunt."

His anxiety was written all over his face, Xie Yi wanted to give him a few words of advice yesterday, but knew that he might not be able to cope with today's matter.

"They all surrounded me and asked about the court's rewards and punishments. The soldiers in my department did not make trouble with me. The other two armies resented me for being favored by His Majesty. They said bad things openly and secretly, and even joined forces with the courtiers to exclude me." He said. One mouthful is a complaint.

Xie Yi reassured him, "Don't panic. You restrain the soldiers under your command. After a few months, you will officially go to the post, establish your military prestige, and have achievements, so naturally no one will gossip about it."

They sat down in the hall.Xie Wen took the lead, and said, "My aunt taught me, and my nephew understands. But since returning to Chang'an, in just two days, I feel like I'm always walking on thin ice."

He is about the same age as Liu Zao, but he is completely different from the city.

Seeing that he couldn't get used to it for the time being, Xie Yi didn't blame him, but said, "Naturally, the court and the army are different. You are not used to it when you come back. After two days, you will know how to act."

Xie Wen is also a person who seeks to make progress and is willing to work hard. Hearing the words, he nods to be taught.

Xie Yi looked at him with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty and I have high hopes for you. If you have any ideas, just do it. It doesn't matter if you don't do well, you will always stumble."

From this victory, it can be seen that Xie Wen's talent is good, and he is quick to get started. Even if he is a little confused at this time, he will be able to distinguish the situation very quickly.Therefore, Xie Yi didn't urge him to force him, but only encouraged him.

Xie Wen really enjoyed it, and said loudly, "I will work hard and live up to my aunt's high expectations."

He was not panicked anymore, the aunt and nephew would be together for a long time.A group at the border, only exchanged letters from home, and sometimes the battle was busy, and there was no news at all.Xie Wen grew up in front of Xie Yi since he was a child, but he was not close to his parents, and he was willing to confide in Xie Yi about everything.

When he talked about the bitter cold at the border and the death of his comrades in battle, his eyes were red and he was silent for a long time. Xie Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "For the soldiers who died in battle, I will ask the imperial court for their merits, and their families will be rewarded." Pension."

Xie Wen nodded, "Fortunately, His Majesty is very concerned about the border. The food and grass have never been cut off, and he has never sent any supervisors to point fingers." Otherwise, this battle will be more difficult to fight.

In fact, Liu Zao also put a lot of pressure on this matter. If there are people in the court who will fight, there will be people who will make peace. Whenever the situation is unfavorable, the most difficult thing is the emperor.She wants to withstand the pressure, urge the frontier army to urge food and grass, severely punish those who are corrupt, so that the border soldiers only need to focus on fighting, and will not disturb them with trivial matters.

These Xie Wen can also guess, and there is a feeling of rejoicing to meet Mingjun on the face, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is considerate. I also care about entering the palace today. Your Majesty loves me very much. I will do my best to repay your kindness."

Xie Yi was listening to him rambling with a smile, but when he finished this sentence, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard "Your Majesty loves me very much".Since Zongzheng came to discuss the marriage with her, it can be seen that he is sure of it.In the eyes of the ministers, Mengmeng and Wen'er must be a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Xie Yi didn't know what she was anymore, knowing that it was just a misunderstanding by outsiders, and Mengmeng didn't have that in mind, but she still felt bored.

After Xie Wen finished speaking, seeing his aunt restrained her smile and remained silent, she couldn't help worrying, thinking that she had said something wrong, thought carefully, and said, "It's just that your Majesty's kindness is too much, maybe it's not a good thing. She first named me Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." , and added the aunt’s food town, so that the aunt was entrusted with nearly [-] households, and most of the princes and kings couldn’t catch up with them.” When he said this, he hesitated and said, “Your Majesty’s actions like this may have some deep meaning.”

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome appearance, and experience, he is different from many superficial young men in Chang'an City.The most important thing is that he is young, about the same age as Mengmeng.

Xie Yi looked away, feeling sour in her heart, her complexion was already a little pale, but she just pulled herself together to deal with it, "There is no deep meaning, you don't have to worry."

After all, she felt that it was not enough, and couldn't help but add, "She has wanted to join me for a while, but this time she just found an opportunity and took advantage of the trend."
