I just like the Prime Minister

Jiang Xizhu tried his best not to show the slightest shock, anger, or even fear. He has always been in the middle of Li Chengzuo's coaxing children's "snoring can't be scared". Can't be scared.

Jiang Xizhu forced himself to appear calm and indifferent, and after deliberating the cause and effect, he said to Li Chengzuo: "Your Majesty, I feel that... this matter is not a simple assassination."

He's been thinking of saying that ever since.

Li Chengzuo has a lot of problems with eating. There are not more than ten or twenty people who serve him wholeheartedly. He refuses to move a chopstick. What he eats today may not be eaten tomorrow, and what he loves in spring may not be loved in autumn. He eats the same food, cut into strips Eat, not necessarily cut into pieces... There are so many things, Jiang Xizhu used to think of him as a dandy and spoiled, but now hearing the thrilling old story, he suddenly understands the reason why Li Chengzuo is picky - he is not picky, but just defensive.

The poison in Song Yingluo is only in the blind snacks. How can the poisoned person be sure that, given Li Chengzuo's picky habits in diet, he will definitely touch a plate of dim sum from unknown sources on the table?Even if he did move, how can he be sure that he will definitely move the poisoned part?

Unless, the poison was not for Li Chengzuo at all, or the purpose of poisoning was not to poison Li Chengzuo to death at all.

Jiang Xizhu's thoughts are too meticulous, and his little cleverness can't escape his observing eyes. Li Chengzuo has never been more handsome than a cup of tea in front of Jiang Xizhu. Any sorrow or anger can be temporarily stepped on under the feet.

Over the past few days, Li Chengzuo has learned a set of tortuous compliments without a teacher. If you want to praise someone, you can’t do it bluntly. It seems too deliberate and hypocritical. listen.When you really want to praise someone, you have to give it affirmation, and then use rich evidence to show that "heroes see the same thing", so that you can show a sense of identity from the inside out.

Li Chengzuo smiled because of this.

"Did you feel it too?" A smile of approval welled up in his peachy eyes, "I ignored what you said, or did you remind me... I know I just figured it out just now, if he really wants to kill Why do I need to leave a Naluoshizi herb where I can find it."

Jiang Xizhu looked at him silently.

"The poisoner probably left the antidote in order to prevent someone from eating it by mistake... But since that person didn't eat it by mistake, the life and death of other people has nothing to do with the poisoner... The so-called small amount is not a gentleman, and non-toxic is not a husband. I don’t think he cares if a gentleman is not a gentleman. Whether it is poisonous or not is obvious to all.” Li Chengzuo said here, paused, “This matter is so similar to my childhood experience. Poison storm... If I was the one who was poisoned, I'm afraid it wouldn't have much to do with it."

Jiang Xizhu suddenly didn't understand, but when he realized what he was saying, he showed an expression of disbelief.

Li Chengzuo is not a delicate person. He can turn a blind eye to many things. The so-called one who is not stupid or deaf is not a family man. The head of a family of ordinary people knows how to tolerate all kinds of trivial matters, let alone being the head of the world , but having said that, Li Chengzuo has been a prince since he was born, and he has become an emperor all the way under the title of not very successful. If he doesn't say those disgusting, dark and dirty things, it doesn't mean that he hasn't seen them. It doesn't mean that he hasn't thought about the cause and effect carefully.

Li Chengzuo watched Jiang Xizhu standing for a long time, and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he motioned him to sit down: "Is it because I kept it from you before... I actually have no better way than to let you get involved in these unclear things." Between the past, it's better to keep it from you, so as to save you from worrying and frightening."

Jiang Xizhu sat down as promised.

He hasn't heard Li Chengzuo's non-exaggerated words for many, many years, and there are countless speculations scrambling in his heart. For a while, the old things are like a glimpse, as if every joke that used to be a dark tide in the old days. .

Li Chengzuo smiled and said: "At that time, I was so oppressed by the atmosphere in the palace that I couldn't breathe, and I had a rift with my mother because of this... It wasn't until the birth of the seventh child that the relationship between me and my mother eased a little, but since then I refused to follow the calmness she worked so hard for me to go on. Maybe it was because of this that I liked to pester you very much... That year, the late emperor ordered me to go to the army for training, but I knew from my heart that I would fight It's just a reputation for militarism. If I don't calm down those intertwined entanglements, I will never think of a peaceful day. But my strength is not enough. Of course, my Tai Tuo is a great Confucian, they only teach the way of a gentleman, The art of the emperor, but he has never been willing to teach me conspiracy... So that time when I joined the army, I was in the army for only three days, and then I left a letter and left, declaring to the outside world that I couldn't stand the suffering in the army. The rivers and lakes. Of course, the end was very miserable. He was stolen by thieves, and he almost slept on the street within five days. In the end, he met the old Niubi who was also sleeping on the street, and was forced to be his cheap apprentice. He is not a real winner. Daoist, but I was sheltering from the rain at the Taoist Temple with him. I was so burned that I lost my mind. , I also met Yingluo who was also walking on the rivers and lakes at that time because I went to Mount Hua with Master..."

...It was really the days of a half-grown brat that His Majesty the Emperor had no face to speak to outsiders.

It turned out that this is how he met Daoist Zixu and Song Yingluo, Jiang Xizhu thought.

He has been wondering, although Li Chengzuo has always been lenient, but with Zixu's obvious lack of skin and shame, and Song Yingluo's obvious lack of respect, he was dragged out and beheaded [-] times.It's incredible that these two unreliable things are alive and kicking around under Li Chengzuo's nose so safely and soundly.

Thinking about it now, this is the so-called friend in need.

When Li Chengzuo said this, he paused: "Master was arrested in Liaodong... Although I am annoyed that he caused trouble, but in the end, he is for me. Yingluo... is a good lady of the Houfu, even if she has a violent temper, she is difficult to marry... I I thought that letting her enter the palace as a noble concubine was to elevate her status so that she could breathe more in the mansion and I could rely on her more, but I didn't want to harm her... I have always been afraid of you..."

Li Chengzuo was a little bit speechless at this point.

What is he afraid of?Jiang Xizhu seems to understand only at this moment, and only at this moment.

Li Chengzuo has never expressed his fear so sincerely and frankly. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, His Majesty Hunjun has nothing to fear, because he does not know the heights of the sky and the earth, but Li Chengzuo not only knows good and bad, but also knows the severity.

Jiang Xizhu originally thought that he had practiced calmness these days, and thought that he could persuade himself to continue to stick to everything without fighting for honor or disgrace, but he didn't know until he faced Li Chengzuo, who had removed all pretense and exaggeration, That little bit of calmness has long been thrown out of the sky by him.

The so-called care leads to chaos. His former calmness and extravagant hope were originally one, and they could never be separated.

No matter from which point of view, this emperor, who is not considered a Mingjun, has always been something he can't let go of.

Jiang Xizhu didn't know how to comfort him, and he couldn't do anything about Yingluo's matter, and his worries and guilt were no less than Li Chengzuo's. At this time, a futile "Auspicious people have their own appearance" is more powerless than the death sentence pronounced. Sometimes things are not better than nothing. It is meaningless to say something, it is better not to say it.

The two were relatively silent. Suddenly, there was a lot of commotion in the warm pavilion. Immediately afterwards, a group of palace people hurried in and out, and one of them had blood on his body.

Jiang Xizhu recognized that person as a maidservant from the Marquis of Fengcheng. She presumably entered the palace with Song Yingluo when she entered the palace. Seeing the bloodstains on her body, Jiang Xizhu was suddenly startled, and suddenly got up and grabbed her: "You guys How about the little... imperial concubine? You are in such a hurry, what happened?!"

The servant girl also recognized Jiang Xizhu, completely forgetting that she is now in the inner garden of the imperial palace, Jiang Xizhu is the current prime minister, and the one sitting behind is the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Her whole body seemed to have suddenly grasped the straw to save her life, grabbed Jiang Xizhu's arm, and cried: "Master Biao, please save my lady! The imperial doctor just didn't know what to eat for the lady. After taking it, the lady showed no signs of recovery. In a coma, I even vomited a mouthful of blood... Young Master Biao, you are well-informed, you must know what happened to Miss, please save her!"

Jiang Xizhu's mind buzzed.

Someone in the Nuan Pavilion yelled, as if the imperial doctor was asking for something, the little girl hurriedly answered, wiped away her tears, and ran away without a moment's delay.

Li Chengzuo also heard the little girl's cry. He stepped forward in two steps and was about to go to the warm pavilion to ask the imperial doctor what was going on. ?”

"Young General Pei?" Li Chengzuo was taken aback, "Which General Pei? Pei Wenyuan? What is he doing here at this time? Pass on my will and ask Pei Wenyuan to come back another day!"

The little eunuch was about to go, but was stopped by Jiang Xizhu beside him.

"I was in Pei's mansion before entering the palace today. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to explain the reason to General Pei..."

Li Chengzuo's voice suddenly rose an octave: "What?! Why are you in Pei's house?"

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

Li Chengzuo was not good at letting go: "Why did you tell him the reason when you entered the palace?! Who is he to you?! How does he know the reason?!"

Jiang Xizhu: "..."

Sure enough, Li Chengzuo, who is reasonable, is cuter. Jiang Chengxiang thought, this unreasonable Li Chengzuo only makes people want to strangle him to death.

Jiang Xizhu was expressionless in the face of Li Chengzuo who suddenly exploded: "Your Majesty, please allow the Major General to enter the palace—the people in the commander's mansion are straightforward, and you cannot be sure of your safety in an emergency. I am afraid that something big will happen in Beijing."

What Jiang Xizhu said made sense. The Pei family was the first escort army of Dayu. During the chaos of the seven kings in the previous dynasty, the ancestors of the Pei family concluded that there was something wrong in the palace through the ambiguous response in the palace. King Wei Gongqin saved Emperor Renzong In the midst of water and fire, Renzong felt grateful for the kindness of Pei's rescue, and granted him the right to judge the situation without authorization in extraordinary times.

In other words, if Marshal Pei feels that there is something wrong in the palace, he can lead an army to encircle the palace at any time.

"..." Li Chengzuo was splashed with cold water by the prime minister's sarcasm, but there was nothing to refute, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "General Xuan is entering the palace!"
