The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

Chapter 10 Painting the Skin and Drawing the Bones Difficult to Paint the Heart II

Plain sleeves, picking flowers, playing the piano, watching the affairs of the world.

Yu Zhuo's actions often make people puzzled: look at him, he is out of the world, he doesn't care about world affairs, but he opens his mouth to be a minister, and the official is of the first rank; look at his iron bones, his eyes are clean; Not to blame.

That's it.

Xia Houzhan sighed, and said, "Shixue, you tell Eunuch Zhao that I'm going to be sick for the time being, so that I won't have to go to court early, and I'll send the booklet to the two prime ministers for approval."

"Yes."

After washing away the disguise, Yu Zhuo looked at Xia Houzhan's face again, and always felt that he was even more dull, not like the king of a country, but like a young man who can be seen casually in the market.

Embarrassed by Yu Zhuo's stare, Xia Houzhan looked in another direction, pretending to have no doubts and asked, "Do you have any relatives in Hengqing's family?"

"Your Majesty, I have been lonely since I was a child..." Yu Zhuo originally wanted to mention the foolish rhetoric again, but when he saw Xia Houzhan, his heart jumped suddenly, and he wanted to tell the truth for some reason.

"I have a younger sister who, like me, studied under Ling Yuntai. She is almost twenty now."

"Twenty? Not yet married?"

"Probably, I haven't returned for a long time, and I don't know what happened." Yu Zhuo rubbed his temples that were swollen and painful. He found that his memory was a little fuzzy, probably because he had stayed in the north for a long time.

"Hengqing never thought about going back to have a look?"

"One day, I will go."

When Xia Yubing came, seeing the two masters meditating, they felt exactly the same.After saluting, he said: "My lord, the minister of Dali Temple asked to see me, and I have brought you to the main hall."

Is this man coming too soon?Yu Zhuo said: "Okay, this Mr. Xia sits behind the screen."

Generally speaking, the women waiting for the guests behind the screen are the family members. Xia Houzhan didn't understand this, so he hid behind with a calm face, which made Yu Zhuo want to laugh.

"I have met Mr. Zuo Xiang, these are lax orders, offended Zuo Xiang, this is fine." After Dali Temple Minister Liu Jian finished speaking, he quickly took out the sandalwood box hidden under his sleeves, Put it on the table.

Subconsciously, he touched his waist and only touched a jade pendant. He almost forgot that the folding fan had been confiscated by Xia Houzhan.Yu Zhuo was not used to it anyway, so he had to sit down.

Yu Zhuo didn't invite him to sit, and Liu Jian didn't know whether to sit or stand.

"This morning, Ben and two friends went to report to the government, and their child was lost. But after leaving the government office and Dali Temple, neither side tried it. The truth is also very embarrassing." Yu Zhuo said.

Summer language iced tea.

"Master Zuoxiang, this..." Yu Jian showed a look of embarrassment and stammered a little, "Don't worry, Zuoxiang, my subordinates... I will urge my subordinates to solve the case as soon as possible. I don't know that friend of yours..."

Yu Zhuo gave him a dossier copied from Dali Temple, and there happened to be a victim named Xia in it.

Liu Jian squeezed out a smile, took it, and then it looked.

When he was about to finish reading, Yu Zhuo took a sip of tea, suddenly said "ah", and said apologetically, "Master Liu, I was only anxious about this case and didn't let you sit down. To tell you the truth , Your Majesty is angry with the minister because of this."

Putting down the stack of papers in his hand, Liu Jian wiped his forehead and said, "No...no need, I will leave."

"It's better to have dinner and plead guilty to Mr. Liu, otherwise it will spread and treat others as the truth." Yu Zhuo smiled more and more gently and intimately. If there is something to do, please leave first.

As soon as Liu Jian left, Xia Houzhan came out and asked, "He came in time. According to my opinion, the minister of Dali Temple should be replaced."

If he came in time, he must have been seen by someone with a heart when he showed his face.As for solving the case, it is still necessary for the Minister of Dali Temple to confuse the traffickers and make them take it lightly.

"Once the person is changed, this case will be difficult to solve." After Yu Zhuo finished speaking, he stood up, handed the sandalwood box to Xia Houzhan, and said, "Let the evidence of bribing officials stay here with His Majesty first."

Xia Houzhan took the things, saw that it was getting late outside, and asked, "Can Hengqing allow me to stay overnight?"

"I don't dare to say whether it's accurate or not, it's just... Your Majesty's body is full of gold, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to stay here."

"It doesn't matter, in terms of safe place, there is no safer place than Hengqing's side."

"It's better for the emperor to sleep with his ministers. If it is spread in the future, it will be a good story about the harmony between the monarch and his ministers." Yu Zhuo said frankly. Sure enough, when the words came out, Yu Zhuo's face changed slightly, but he still said yes.

It seems that the emperor is determined to regard himself as his deployment.Thinking about it, Yu Zhuo laughed a little.Fortunately, he didn't have the intention to play tricks.

Because there was Xia Houzhan for dinner, Yu Zhuo hurriedly asked Xia Yubing to order the kitchen to add more dishes.

As a result, the kitchen added two large pots full of fried spring bamboo shoots with shredded pork and shredded pork with spinach.Throughout the meal, Yu Zhuo saw Xia Houzhan picking the shredded pork intentionally or unintentionally, so he had to pretend not to see it.

This can't be blamed on the cook, the emperor's whereabouts can't be disclosed too much, he only bought half a catty more meat as ordinary guests came to the house.

"The cook in the minister's mansion doesn't know how to cook, so tomorrow I will take your Majesty down to taste the most delicious dishes in the capital, which is no worse than the imperial dining room." Yu Zhuo spoke with a smile, and blamed the cook entirely.

"The ancients said that if you don't eat after noon, it's because the chef of the Xiangfu has a heart." Xia Houzhan said so, but Yu Zhuo always felt that he wanted to express that he was not full.

"Your Majesty is right - it's still early, why don't Your Majesty go out for a stroll with your ministers, and then come back to read the booklet?" Yu Zhuo suggested, and you can buy some food by the way.

"Follow Hengqing."

There is a rose-flavored pot that sells well, and Yu Zhuo immediately thought of it. He tasted the red oil vegetarian tripe shreds in it, and the taste was acceptable, but unfortunately he couldn't eat spicy food.

He took a thin cloak and put it on Xia Houzhan, and the two went out.

The capital is also bustling at night, with flickering candles.Yu Zhuo glanced at Xia Houzhan, told him to stand where he was, and went to line up to buy lo mei.

Extruding from the restaurant, Yu Zhuo saw Xia Houzhan standing at the corner of the street, with a hint of confusion and resistance in his eyes. He was bumped by a steady stream of pedestrians a few times, and then retreated a little bit.

"Master Xia."

"Ok?"

"There are too many people, don't lose them." Yu Zhuo held oiled paper in one hand and his cloak in the other, and walked towards places where there were few crowds. Occasionally, someone bumped into him, and he used the inside to cover him back.

Leaving the busy city, he took people to a small pavilion and sat down.Before Xia Houzhan understood, he blinked, his dense eyelids seemed to tremble.

Yu Zhuo evoked a smile: "Master Xia, hurry up and eat."

After taking the oil paper, Xia Houzhan glanced at it twice and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"Eat." Yu Zhuo smiled reluctantly, took out a goose paw, and took a light bite... Hiss, it's really spicy.On the other hand, Xia Houzhan, who was beside him, quickly ate more than half of it.

After a while, Xia Houzhan looked up to see that Yu Zhuo was still gnawing on the goose palm, and suddenly remembered that he said he would not eat spicy food.

"What are you looking at me for?" Yu Zhuo smiled, Xia Houzhan's lips became extremely rosy with the hot pepper on his face, and he didn't know what to say next after being stared at by him.

"nothing."

Suddenly, a child's cry came from the corner, and Xia Houzhan was keenly aware of something wrong. He immediately got up, looked down at the overcooked lo mei, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

A short woman pulled a crying child out of the alley, the child was only about four or five years old.
