Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

The first year of Yonghe, New Year's Eve.

The filial piety period has passed, and it is Xie Qi's first New Year's Eve since he ascended the throne. The people in the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace are all quite upright, and they are quite grand. .

Xie Qi woke up early today, he was already a very light sleeper, when the distant sound of firecrackers came from outside the palace, and the silence in the palace was also driven to break most of it, he lost the interest in staying in bed in winter.

He didn't sleep, and Yun Yi, who was watching the night by his side, didn't sleep either. He quickly stroked his face and stood up to wait for changing clothes. He raised his breath twice, and the whole Yong'an Palace began to work.

As the new year approached, most of the affairs of the DPRK and China had been postponed, even Su Yanzhao's Lizheng Hall was quite leisurely, not to mention Xie Qi, a monarch who had not formally ruled in person, sealed the Zhubi a few days earlier.

His task today is to eat and sleep, oh no, he also needs to accept the congratulations from the minister.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Ninth Prince has arrived." Yun Shu came in from the outside with the curtain closed. His voice was neither high nor low, enough for Xie Qi, who was letting the palace guards to check his clothes for mistakes, to hear clearly.

Xie Qi responded and said, "Let him in."

The breakfast on New Year's Eve is for the emperor and empress to enter together, and the rules are more complicated than usual, but Xie Qi is still young and has no master in the palace, and he can't even find a concubine with a slightly higher status, so naturally he can't follow the usual rules Come.

The breakfast meal for one person on New Year's Eve is not unreasonable, Lin Xie, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, simply suggested that Xie Yi, the ninth son of the emperor, go to Yong'an Palace to accompany Xie Qi earlier.

Around the afternoon of the Hegong family banquet, Xie Yi will also be present.

Xie Yu, who was only six years old, was wearing a bright red jacket today, which was quite suitable for the season. The sons of the Xie family have always looked handsome, but he was the only one who accompanied his birth mother Duanqing, the imperial concubine, with a small face carved with jade Usually, people can't take their eyes away just by looking at it.

He hasn't met his seventh brother a few times, he only vaguely knows that this time is different from the past, and it will be beneficial for him to get closer to his seventh brother in the future.

The little man broke away from the wet nurse's hand as he approached, and bowed solemnly: "My brother sees the emperor, and congratulates the emperor on the new year."

He tried his best to be serious, but he was too young after all, and there was still some baby fat on his face, so he looked very festive.

Xie Qi has more or less heard some gossip these days, who was proposed by Dingguo Gong Su Yanlian and the Yushi doctor after the death of Emperor Yonghe, and how did this big cake fall from the sky to him in the end... He said that he didn't have any doubts about Xie Yu, and he didn't believe it himself.

But with Xie Yu's current appearance, all his thoughts were completely eliminated.

Reaching out to hold the child by himself, Xie Qi rarely softened his voice; "Ninth Brother, you don't need to be polite;" turned to Yun Shu who was waiting at the side; "Let's pass on breakfast."

Yun Shu understood, walked to the door curtain and clapped her hands, and immediately there were maids with trays rushing in.

The lacquer-filled dining table was set up, and there were 27 kinds of dishes served on various dishes, and there were also side dishes on silver plates, all of which were served in a royal demeanor.

Xie Qi led Xie Yi to sit down, and softly told him not to be restrained, and picked up the chopsticks by himself, it was difficult to eat chopsticks for a while.

In a trance, he recalled a few small dishes from the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago. Due to the urgency to order them, although the delicate dishes were not inferior in any degree, the style was far worse, but at this moment he could still recall the arrangement of those small dishes, style, taste.

Xie Qi remembered clearly the dishes that day. He glanced at the dining table patiently. Sesame milk rolls, pea cakes, duck with green onions and peppers, and small steamed buns rolled with bamboo knots... Except for the bowl of soft and rotten porridge, I found them all, the sense of smell and taste finally returned to their positions at the same time, and the appetite of running away from home suddenly returned half.

The child was just growing up, and the elder brother treated him gently, so he completely forgot about the nurse's previous instructions, and used it himself sweetly.Xie Qi stared at the four side dishes, although he felt that there was something wrong with it, it was better than nothing, the one big and the small one eating quietly for a while, it seemed that the picture was exceptionally harmonious.

About half an hour later, when Yun Yi, who was standing aside, was hesitating whether to let someone serve another four dishes that his master paid special attention to today, Yun Shu entered the hall for the second time, walking faster than before. Two minutes faster, the volume is still not high.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Su is here." After a short pause, he added; "Duke Ding was not feeling well a few days ago, so he just sent someone here to ask for leave."

Visiting the palace on New Year's Eve is a treat only for the emperor's close ministers. After all, the emperor's energy is limited, and apart from the palace banquet, he can receive at most ten people a day.

For ordinary people, this matter is considered a rare honor, but for the Su family, it is just icing on the cake. Xie Qi has no objection to Su Yan not being able to hold back, as long as the one in front arrives, he will be satisfied, and there is no change on his face at the moment, saying; "Hurry up please come in."

After saying that, he stood up and waved his hand to signal the palace servants waiting beside him to lift the dining table down, hesitating to take two steps forward.

Hesitating in his heart, the child who still had rubbish on his mouth suddenly became excited, and ran out half-bouncing and half-hopping, and called out with a crisp voice: "Brother Yanzhao!"

The corners of Xie Qi's mouth twitched, Su Yanzhao had always been mature and dignified in front of him, although that face often made people show off, in his heart he was still like an elder, and he needed to be respected.

When Xie Yu called out like this, he remembered that this right minister had a marriage contract with his imperial sister, Princess Duanrou, in the past, and he was not much older than him in terms of age, so it was only natural to call him elder brother.

As soon as he was stunned, Su Yanzhao walked in slowly, holding a child like a jade boy in his arms, who was it not Xie Yi who just ran out?

It was inconvenient for someone in his arms to salute, Su Yanzhao just nodded and smiled, "I haven't congratulated Your Majesty on the new year yet." He put Xie Yi down on the ground, took out a thick red envelope from his arms, and stuffed it into the child With his hand, he touched Xie Yu's head; "I brought Brother Yuan into the palace, you met him last year, go out and find him."

The elder brother Yuan he was talking about was the eldest son of the next generation of the Su family, the eldest son of Dingguo Duke's mansion, his age was not much different from Xie Yu, and the two had known each other since childhood.

Xie Yu's brows were filled with joy when he heard the words, and he quickly thanked the red seal before running out happily.

Xie Qi had been silently watching the interaction between the two, and at this moment he added a sentence "Let's all go out and serve" at the right moment, and all the people in the hall immediately left.

Su Yanzhao came so early today to ask for homework. He still remembered the homework assigned to Xie Qi a few days ago. He wanted to be polite first, but he didn't expect Xie Qi to be so polite, so he folded his arms and waited for the answer.

"Where's mine?" Xie Qi tilted his head and finally spoke.

Eh?

Su Yanzhao was slightly stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that Xie Qi was talking about the things he gave the child just now, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Your Majesty is blessed everywhere, so you shouldn't worry about the minister's little furniture, right?"

"It's just for fun..." Before he could utter a word of laughter, Xie Qi looked at the sudden weight on his hands, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing his reaction, Su Yanzhao felt some inexplicable emotion in his heart. If Fu Zhixin hadn't taken an extra one before leaving the house this morning... It's a bit surprising that Xie Qi would actually ask him for it.

However, since Xie Qiyu was not astonishing and dying endlessly in his last life, he thought that his psychological endurance should be unmatched.

"I've taken the things too. Your Majesty should talk about what to do about becoming a king, right?"

Xie Qi was pinching the thick red seal in his hands, his palms were even sweating.

As soon as the words just came out of his mouth, he felt that it was inappropriate, but it was hard to get over it, so he had to pretend to be humorous and pretend to be a joke, hoping to cover up the past.

Su Yanzhao actually prepared it... The red seal in his arms must not be given out casually. After leaving the prime minister's mansion, the younger generation must already have one person, and there are no other heirs in the palace. Really for him?

If he didn't speak, what else?

The countermeasures that he had already thought up in his mind were messed up by the swarming thoughts, afraid that the person in front of him would be impatient, Xie Qi stammered and forced himself to say what he meant; "After... two The twelfth day of the month is my birthday, in the name of celebrating my birthday and missing my elder brother, I recruit King Cheng and King Rui to the capital, if King Cheng dares to resist the order, he can strike first."

This is the way he thought for a long time before he came up with it. Although he was unwilling to use his birthday as a raft, he couldn't find a closer name for a while.

This method coincides with what I thought in the previous life... Su Yanzhao nodded, and said with great interest; "If King Cheng enters the capital, how will His Majesty make a decision?"

"Give it generously to King Cheng, so that he has no reason to raise troops?" Xie Qi asked tentatively.

Su Yanzhao was noncommittal.

"Leave Cheng Wang in Beijing and take the opportunity to cut down the vassal? You can use too violent and too fast, I'm afraid it will provoke a backlash."

……

"Post the prince's son as a hostage? It's just that it will make the clan feel cold."

……

Except for the first one, every time Xie Qi mentioned one, he vetoed himself, and sometimes he couldn't even wait for Su Yanzhao's reaction.

When he finally finished speaking and looked eagerly at the person opposite, Su Yanzhao hooked the corners of his lips and smiled; "What Your Majesty said is a good policy, so let's do it accordingly."

"The Lizheng Hall will issue an edict to allow King Cheng and King Rui to enter the capital. As for what will happen afterwards, there are still two months to go. Your Majesty can think about it slowly, and I will not comment."

This is... the meaning of being fully in charge of him?

A secret joy flashed in Xie Qi's heart, but then came a deeper and more inhuman worry.

He thought of Xuanwei's hidden clues that were handed over to him as soon as he said it was handed over to him. He remembered that Su Yanzhao came to Tianlu Pavilion to teach several times after he recovered from illness. Give it all.

But the more this happened, the heavier his heart sank...

For a few days, Xie Qi closed his eyes and could see in a trance that one day he was finally able to stand alone and become a veritable king, but the place where Su Yanzhao usually stood in the Xuanzheng Palace was empty.

Every time he woke up in a cold sweat, the feeling of emptiness in his heart was always indescribable, let alone talking to the protagonist in the dream.

Taking another look at Su Yanzhao who was close at hand, Xie Qi seemed to be able to touch his temperature on the red seal in his hand.

He has the most important thing to do...

Pull down Su Xiang who seems not in the world of mortals.
