The two of them were familiar with the road, changed their clothes and put on their hats and headed south. The surrounding area was the bustling capital.

It was common for Li Chengzuo and Jiang Xizhu to go out of the palace together in the past, and there were more in the past than now.

Mrs. Jiang begged her grandpa to tell her grandma, and only after worshiping all the bodhisattvas in the temple did she get such a single seedling like Jiang Xizhu.Mr. Jiang Ge is old and strong. He just took in his fifth concubine a few years ago. Although Jiang Xizhu has only one son-in-law, sons-in-law and daughter-in-law are born one after another.

The Jiang family is thriving, but Jiang Xizhu often feels awkward in the mansion—he is the son of the eldest son in the mansion, and he is the prime minister in the court. The whole Jiang family points to Jiang Xizhu as a glorious lintel, and other brothers and sisters are either as old as him. There are quite a few differences, either the concubine and concubines are different, and the respect and love seem to be separated by a hazy veil.

Strictly speaking, if you don't mention the other hypocrisy of those monarchs and ministers, his relationship with Li Chengzuo is actually a little closer than his brothers and sisters.

However, this nine-five-year-old is not in harmony with his horoscope. He has no sense, and he wants to kidnap others to be with him to "get close to Mo Zhehe"-he sleeps when the Taifu teaches, he is slippery when he practices martial arts, and he can't listen to three things when dealing with state affairs. One sentence is to reprimand officials for being incompetent, even for such a trivial matter.Only the "dandy" has a good career in everything, eating, drinking, having fun, fighting cockfights, and learning without a teacher.

Jiang Xizhu admired the first emperor, but often felt that the first emperor did not know why he hurt the luck of his descendants. The eldest son was stupid, the second son was cunning, and the rest were either mediocre or not clear-headed. Only one seventh prince, Li Chengsi, was not bad, but the late emperor passed away That year, the current Prince Rui was still a 13-year-old child. If he had inherited the throne at such a young age, he would probably arouse the desire of countless people with ulterior motives.

With a thousand words and ten thousand words, the one who finally inherited the Datong was Li Chengzuo who had no reliable but good luck.

As a courtier, how trembling is it to have an unreliable master? In the first year after the late emperor passed away, the threshold of Jiangge’s hometown was about to be broken by two other elders. A group of courtiers often looked at Emperor Tianqi and quarreled. They dozed off at the turbulent court meeting, and they were afraid that if they woke up tomorrow, the country would change hands.

Those days were simply miserable.

To say the least, Jiang Xizhu finds it miraculous that Li Chengzuo has been on the throne for three years. Although his temper and temperament have not changed into the posture of a generation of Mingjun, none of the things that the elders are worried about has happened-although there is war in Liaodong, it is not a disadvantage overall. There were moths but it didn't hurt the root cause. Even the eldest son of the first emperor who was originally ambitious and now King Qi didn't even think of rebelling. Now that he thinks about it, he is very happy.

It can be seen that Li Chengzuo, the monarch, may really be ordered by the sky, and God is partial to everything that goes smoothly and smoothly in front of the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was favored by God, didn't notice the envy and hatred of others at all. He went out of the palace in micro-clothes to play happily, and when he left the palace gate, it was like an arrow leaving the string. Eight horses couldn't hold it back. He found everything interesting. It can be seen that he is bored in the palace.

Jiang Xizhu felt that his prodigal appearance was an eyesore, but he didn't want to admit that it was really uncomfortable to keep him locked up in the palace surrounded by high walls every day and night, so it was not good for him who was "crazy to go out". The problem is to keep one eye open and one eye closed.

However, Prime Minister Jiang didn't take a look at him. The emperor who "has never seen the world" has already plunged into the mixed street market with bright eyes. Jiang Xizhu couldn't see him through the crowd and was anxious on the side of the road. But he had already returned, grabbed two candied haws in his hand, and handed one over very naturally, with peach blossom eyes and a slight smile: "I still remember that you like to eat it."

He stood in that light and smiled, no matter what he did, Jiang Xizhu felt that he could forgive him.

Li Chengzuo is really heroic when he smiles. Under the bright sunshine, his face seems to be stained with spring and meaning.

Jiang Xizhu was fed with this candied haws with a smile, and he couldn't laugh or cry, but at the same time, he felt a little warmth in his heart - when he was young, he had a problem with food accumulation in his stomach, and he always had hawthorn pills at hand. If he didn't have any, hawthorn would be fine However, the hawthorn fruit is sour, and his teeth will be sore after a few mouthfuls. It was a bunch of candied haws that Li Chengzuo bought for him when he and he sneaked out to watch the lantern festival.

It's just that I didn't expect that a bunch of candied haws could make Li Chengzuo remember until now.

Li Chengzuo had no airs of an emperor in front of Jiang Xizhu. He ate happily with each bite of hawthorn. I came back with a set of emerald chess pieces. The things made by the southerners are meticulous. The chess pieces made of black jade and white jade, and the chessboard carved from a whole piece of jasper. Take it to your house."

It is common for Li Chengzuo to reward the prime minister casually. Fortunately, he does not treat everyone like this, otherwise the national treasury would allow him to reward the prime minister lavishly.

Jiang Xizhu's chess skills are well-known in the capital, he is good at chess, and can also calm his mind. He used to study under the Taifu, and often played chess with the Taifu, regardless of the outcome.Li Chengzuo often comes to join in the fun, but the emperor is a walking stinky chess basket and has no patience. The "official chess" has the ability to play chess and loses like a mountain. Therefore, no one in the court except Prime Minister Jiang is willing to play chess with the emperor. .Since then, the emperor, who was hated by thousands of people unconsciously, has been completely corrupted by the good-tempered prime minister, and he has to grind a game of chess from him.

In fact, playing chess with Li Chengzuo is not bad, at least he doesn't have the bad habit of beheading his head to vent his anger when he loses. He can also get rewards if he wins, and his generosity is very reasonable.

There is a small country in the southwest called Gongbang, which voluntarily bows its head to Dayu and pays tribute every year.This country produces beautiful jade, but there have been many wars in the territory these years, jade mines are hard to find, and jade has become more and more rare. Only the south is rich and rich, and there are prices and markets, and some can occasionally flow out.

Jadeite materials are even more difficult to find these days, and by coincidence, a set of black jade and a set of white jade are just right, I don't know how much work will be wasted, this thing looks low-key, but in fact it is a luxury that takes a lot of effort.Jiang Xizhu's style is not so exaggerated, he didn't want to accept it at first, but when he looked up, he saw Li Chengzuo's peach blossom eyes were full of anticipation, and his face was full of expressions of asking for credit, as if it wasn't that he rewarded others, but rather like someone who had achieved results and wanted to be rewarded. Reward the same for children.

Jiang Xizhu was caught by this look, and the words of refusal were already on his lips, but he didn't say it, and changed his words after turning around: "I will keep it for you."

Li Chengzuo didn't hear the mystery of the words in his words, or he didn't care if he heard it - he had achieved his goal, and there must be no reason to return the things he gave away. No matter what he said, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

The emperor who successfully gave the gift was inexplicably happy, so he got carried away with pride: "It's still early, Jun Chi, do you think we should go out for an outing in the city now or go to a restaurant for dinner?"

He went out of the palace without his entourage or guards, but Jiang Xizhu knew it well - the emperor was always followed by a shadow, who would never show up for anything, and was very reliable when he had something to do.But even so, he didn't dare to take Li Chengzuo out of the city to wander around, let alone take him to eat indiscriminately. After thinking for a while, he had to say: "It's better to go to the minister's house."

It was rare that the emperor, who was not easy to serve, had no objection to this, and readily went to the appointment.

Jiang Xizhu is not yet married, and has not opened a single mansion. She still lives in the main house of the Jiang family, living next to all the Jiang family members.

Jiang's house was lively today, Jiang Xizhu and Li Chengzuo had just arrived at the gate of the house, and saw the canopy parked outside.

The canopy is made of crimson brocade, with a pair of lanterns hanging in front, with the word "Feng" on the lanterns.

Jiang Xizhu hadn't had time to say anything, but Li Chengzuo looked at the words on the canopy and smiled knowingly, with a pair of peach blossom eyes clearly: "It's a coincidence that I came today, and it happened that the Marquis of Fengcheng also came to the house. Master, have a drink, Junchi, you can't stop me."

As he said that, he walked into the mansion, Jiang Xizhu wanted to stop him but couldn't stop his rampage, so he had to grab him by his side and lead the way for him.

The servants of Jiang's family hadn't seen Li Chengzuo for several years, and they didn't recognize him from a distance, but saw his young and successful prime minister personally leading him, thinking it was some dignitary. , They all knelt down on the ground.

Li Chengzuo was fooling around, he didn't care how many eyeballs he lost in shock, and he didn't listen to others, long live, long live, and went straight to the front hall.

Everyone in the front hall heard the commotion, and they all came out to welcome him. On the left was the old, vigorous and vigorous Mr. Jiang Ge, and the one on the right was the owner of the canopy outside, Jiang Xizhu's uncle Fengcheng Hou Songzhen.

The Marquis of Fengcheng came to Jiang's mansion today for some unknown reason, but he bumped into an emperor who was visiting privately in a low-clothed suit. He seemed a bit caught off guard when he saw each other, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground with Elder Jiang Ge, claiming that he didn't know that the emperor was far away when he came here. welcome.

Li Chengzuo came and went to Jiang's mansion more casually than the master, and sat on the upper seat unceremoniously. When he looked up and saw a room kneeling on the ground, he smiled abhorrently: "What are you doing so cautiously? I just subdued it. You don't need to be too polite, get up and give me your seat."

All those kneeling on the ground got up, those who sat down sat down, and those who waited on them waited.

However, the bastard named "Emperor" sitting on the top seat refused to stop, and the whole room was full of people jumping around to serve him. He still didn't think it was enough, so he turned his face and smiled and called Jiang Xizhu: "Jun Chi, I'm here with you." How about lunch at home? Your cook is so skilled, I have been thinking about it all the time, please ask the prime minister to arrange it for me."

This order is so overkill.

However, since he has always been a foolish king with ostentatious appearances, it is reasonable for him to be tyrannical, and no one dared to raise any objections.

It is naturally not Jiang Xizhu's turn to ask about the details of the meal arrangement. Jiang Xizhu knows in his heart that this is just an excuse for Li Chengzuo to rescue him-Jiang Xizhu didn't finish eating a candied haws. After a long time, let's not mention the awkwardness.Fortunately, everyone circled around Li Chengzuo, and no one noticed him, so there was no embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Li Chengzuo noticed it.

Mr. Jiang didn't have that tough temper that didn't know how to adapt. He took this kindness and went down a step, but still politely exchanged greetings before turning around and going to the backyard.

Li Chengzuo looked sideways at Jiang Xizhu walking away, so far away that he could no longer see him, lowered his head, took a sip from the tea cup, and then raised his peach blossom eyes.

The sincere and disgusting smile in the eyes disappeared in an instant, and turned into a half-smile indifference hanging in the corners of the eyes. The person was still lazy and casual, but the temperament of the whole body changed. The corners of the lips hooked, the eyes With a sweep of the tail, the cold and solemn posture is a well-deserved emperor.

Song Zhen, Marquis of Fengcheng, understood immediately, raised his hands and moved away from the left and right sides, and stood with Mr. Jiang Ge, his face was so tense that he showed a little panic. When he got up, he didn't sit down again.

Li Chengzuo knocked on the table expressionlessly, making two "do-do-do" sounds, which were not loud but suddenly made people feel serious.

"Tell me, Song Zhen, what's going on in Liaodong." Li Chengzuo said, his casual tone revealed a bit of cold chill, "You can hide it from Junchi, you can hide it from the Ministry of War, but you can't hide it from me. Blind eyes and ears, I can forgive people once, but not necessarily the next time, Master Hou and Mr. Ge must take care."
