I just like the Prime Minister

Jiang Xizhu finally recognized this fact, and his heart was filled with unspeakable grievances. His unspeakable wish was all he could do, but it seemed insignificant in front of Li Chengzuo's hiding his strength and biding his time.For a moment, he almost wanted to go back to the boy who was studying with the prince in the past. If he refused to enter the Chongwen Museum where he dreamed at any time for no reason at that time, everything behind him would be nothingness.

But he couldn't and didn't want to show it, he took a deep breath silently, and then he forced his inexplicably disturbed mood to calm down.

The road back to the palace is so long and so short.

The imperial horse snorted softly, and was stopped by the driver, so he had to paw the ground with his hooves a little anxiously.

The imperial city is majestic, like a gigantic giant with red walls and yellow tiles, silently dormant in the endless night.The stars hang in the sky, the bright moon hangs high, and two rows of neat lights in the distance approach slowly, illuminating the silent and stern faces of the guards with swords in turn, solemnly welcoming their masters who have returned from the night.

Jiang Xizhu and Li Chengzuo got off the chariot one after another, and walked through the queue that lined the road in a regular manner according to their positions as monarchs and ministers.

Eunuch Zhang greeted him a long time ago, and followed behind Li Chengzuo not too far away.

"Go to the imperial doctor Xuan." Li Chengzuo walked straight forward without turning back, "The prime minister's escort is injured. Let's rest in the palace today. The Nuan Pavilion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is cleaned up. If I don't enter the harem today, I will rest there."

Eunuch Zhang took the order.

Jiang Xizhu was taken aback for a moment: "Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Li Chengzuo's peach blossom eyes reflected the night and the moon.As the night deepened and the moon became brighter, he looked back and smiled slightly, enough to cover the starlight hanging upside down in the sky.

Jiang Xizhu's thin and handsome figure froze in the evening wind, but Li Chengzuo did not rush, far away from the guards, and motioned Jiang Xizhu to walk side by side with him.

"When I was young, I was not good at studying, and the late Emperor was very troubled. He chose thousands of choices from his relatives and noble children, and finally chose the well-known Jiang family prodigy in the capital to be a companion. I hope he can come and set an example for me." He smiled. He smiled, his eyes were gentle, but his tone was narrow, "Actually, I didn't like you at that time. You are the son of the Jiang family and the nephew of the Marquis of Fengcheng, and behind it represent too many things that I can't control. What's more, you still A child prodigy with outstanding talent, if I don't pay attention, I will be compared to you."

Jiang Xizhu didn't expect him to talk about this, and he didn't expect him to say it so bluntly. The grievance that he just suppressed will come back in an instant. He was a little suspicious when he saw through Li Chengzuo's pretending to be crazy. , and it wasn't until this time that this suspicion was finally confirmed - Li Chengzuo's defense did not happen overnight.

However, Li Chengzuo didn't give him much time to brew his emotions, so he continued on his own: "I originally planned to give you a blow on the first day you came to Chongwen Museum, so that you can know from now on that I am the rule in the inner courtyard of the palace." , no one is bigger than me."

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

It really looks like something he would do.

Jiang Xizhu was caught between grievance and silence, he just couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that this bastard Li Chengzuo was something that was brought out of his mother's womb.How could the late emperor's generation of Mingjun, and the former empress's famous family, give birth to such a troublesome evil.

However, Jiang Xizhu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember what the legendary "dismounting power" was. Could it be that Li Chengzuo did something that he didn't realize at all?

Jiang Xizhu was simply creepy.

On the contrary, Li Chengzuo looked back slightly at his face, and smiled: "Don't think about it, Jun Chi, I haven't done anything."

Jiang Xizhu was taken aback, and blurted out: "Why?"

After speaking, I felt embarrassed, so I closed my mouth in annoyance.

"What else could be the reason..." Li Chengzuo still smiled, "Maybe it's because, in front of the Chongwen Museum that day, I saw the most blooming peach tree in my lifetime."

Jiang Xizhu was completely stunned. Looking at Li Chengzuo's handsome face, he suddenly forgot to say anything.

Li Chengzuo saw his expression with satisfaction, brushed the broken hair on his temples for him, and kept on stepping: "Junchi, after I ascended the throne, the first thing I did was to let you occupy a high position in a legitimate way, but I never asked about it." However, do you have other... ambitions not to fall into the blue sky?"

Yes, Jiang Xizhu thought, there has always been, but I can't say it.

Fortunately, Li Chengzuo didn't seem to dare to listen to that answer, he almost wanted to cover it up and said: "I have it too, Jun Chi, give me some time."

The dream that night was a bit chaotic.

At first, it was the storybook that you couldn’t finish listening to no matter what, and then it was the border war situation that shook the sky. At some point, the hard-wearing soldiers suddenly turned into mysterious Jianghu people, holding the piano expressionlessly and playing , the cold melody suddenly set off swords and swords...

In the end, the figures and the lights of the swords dispersed, and the sky and the earth were quiet, and there was an endless rain of flowers in the silence.

When Jiang Xizhu moved, a trace of pain in the side of his neck spread from the dream to his heart. He frowned slightly, opened his eyes in a daze, and woke up.

He sleeps here in the Warm Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. When the Military Aircraft Department was first established, the two rows of dilapidated houses outside the hall hadn’t been cleaned up. Sometimes, when I really can't get through it, there are also times when I put together clothes and make do with it for a while.

Later, the Military Aircraft Department was set up separately, and this place became the exclusive use of the emperor.The first emperor was frugal, and the furnishings here are almost completely different from the luxury of the inner palace, but it is because the emperor came to nest from time to time, and the conditions are much better than the airy military aircraft.

Li Chengzuo obviously rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation the night before, but he woke up earlier than Jiang Xizhu. At this time, he was wearing a bright yellow uniform, sitting on the side of the couch with one leg crossed, one hand on his knee, and the other elbow Sitting on the low table on the couch, he was playing with a jade ruyi that came from nowhere, with a rare dignified and thoughtful expression.

Jiang Xizhu originally slept with his clothes on, but at this moment he still felt that something was wrong, and moved uncomfortably, not knowing whether he should salute first or adjust his clothes first.

However, as soon as he moved, Li Chengzuo noticed it, and immediately stopped playing with Yu Ruyi's hand, and looked back with a smile.

"Do you always frown like this when you sleep?" He asked, "Jun Chi, what are you worried about?"

This is really not an easy question to answer, Jiang Xizhu thought a little speechlessly, and I don't know what it looks like when I fall asleep.

But thinking of the chaotic dream that had no clue just now, Jiang Xizhu fell silent.

Fortunately, Li Chengzuo seems to be more reasonable in this regard, and he didn't mean to say that he is ugly, so he changed the subject naturally.

"You fell asleep when the imperial physician came to change the dressing yesterday." Li Chengzuo said, "Why don't you sleep more, anyway, take a rest today."

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

He said it lightly.

When the emperor was assassinated, no one dared to sue the queen mother stupidly, but the capital still shook vigorously all night.

When the officials in the capital heard about this, they flocked to the palace in unison. division of labor.

Li Chengzuo couldn't bear the annoyance, he came in and scolded one by one, successfully frightened several old ministers to tears, and finally stopped.

The courtiers came tremblingly and were scolded by Li Chengzuo. Seeing that the emperor was alive and well, he was still arrogant, and it was said that the injured prime minister was only slightly traumatized, and the heart that jumped to the throat briefly swallowed half an inch , Go back in fear and fear and go back to perform their duties.

Last night was destined to be a sleepless night, the imperial guards in the capital searched from house to house all night, but they still don't know what the result is, why don't you take a bath today?Except for the prime minister who was honorably injured because of his "escort", I am afraid that anyone who dares to rest and reunite with Li Chengzuo will dare to punish the nine clans.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at Li Chengzuo's face, and thoughtfully did not expose the fact that he opened his eyes and told nonsense.

"My body is only a minor injury, so there is no need to make a fuss." Thanks to this question, Jiang Xizhu finally sat up, rearranged his appearance indiscriminately, and forced a smile, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to end this matter."

Of course, what Jiang Xizhu asked was about the assassination last night.

This incident did not hurt Li Chengzuo in the slightest, but the things behind it were indeed complicated-according to the assassin, the war in Liaodong was not as simple as the Khitan's invasion.

Dayu and Khitan have been at war for many years, and they know that those Khitan people are not easy to get along with. The struggle for power is at a critical juncture, and it is still a mystery who came up with the idea of ​​marching into the Central Plains so far.

The situation at this time is like two people fighting, but one is hurt and the other is injured. Originally, there is no condition for a fight, but somehow the brains of the people are out of their minds - what is it that makes these two people have to fight?And who is sitting behind this fisherman's profit?

Li Chengzuo has been on the throne for three years, and there are capable ministers under the shadow of his ancestors. Even though he is not as good as the previous emperor, he is still an emperor with a rich family. Wealth, at least for a while, will not wipe out the ancestors' country. As for some small mistakes, as long as the country is not subjugated, it is not a big deal. After thousands of generations, it will at most have a mediocre reputation-in fact, Everything seems to be developing according to this law. Thinking about it this way, no matter what, it seems very logical.

However, there is a decisive key to this, and this key is that behind this logically, a real confused emperor is needed.

But is it Lee Seung-jo?

To make an inappropriate analogy, if a cook can make meat taste out of tofu, then he should be praised for his excellent cooking skills, but if he uses not tofu but a piece of meat itself, then his deliciousness lies in As expected.

Today's Li Chengzuo is the cook who holds delicacies from mountains and seas, but makes fresh meat into tofu abruptly, which is more intriguing.

Among them, which seasoning went wrong?
