Prince Consort

On the day of Xie Dalang's wedding, there are a lot of guests.

The less important guests were all arranged to have wine at the Jinyu Tower, and the people invited to the family were important officials from the court, such as Yao Dingyan and Xu Juncheng.Taking a closer look, Meng Yuanshao, Xu Yannian, etc. were all there, many of them were of a lower grade, and they looked at Xie Jiyu differently.Xie's house in Tongchuan came to Xie Jiyu's hands, and it really went up several steps at once.

When Zhao Chongzhao entered the door, the eyes of others fell on Xie Ze'an again.When Xie Zean came to Xie's house, Xie Jiyu was still very low-key. Many people didn't know Xie Zean's real origin, and they only thought that he was really Xie Jiyu's son.Xie Ze'an has been in the limelight for the past few years!

What's more, Zhao Chongzhao was looking for him the moment he entered the door, and his intimacy was beyond words.

Thinking of Xie Zean's situation when he first returned to the court, Meng Yuanshao and the others felt very complicated.If Xie Zean returned to Beijing, Zhao Chongzhao would have such an attitude towards him. There must be many people who ridiculed Xie Zean to rely on his nepotism to get up, but Zhao Chongzhao not only did not get close to Xie Zean some time ago, but often made things difficult for him, making them a little bit I couldn't see it, so I couldn't help but say a few words to help.

Unexpectedly, they reconciled as before in a blink of an eye.

Xie Ze'an didn't know that there were so many people staring at him, Zhao Chongzhao didn't let anyone know, he didn't notice Zhao Chongzhao's arrival at all, and he was still watching Erniang tidying Xie Dalang's clothes with a smile not far away.Xie Dalang usually didn't pay much attention to these things, just now he was so busy that he turned up his collar, Erniang had sharp eyes and a careful heart, so she deliberately stopped to tidy up for Xie Dalang.

Sensing Xie Zean's narrow gaze, Erniang smiled generously at Xie Zean.

Xie Ze'an: "..."

This love is so beautiful, it blinds the dog's eyes!

Xie Ze'an felt that "the daughter is finally getting married", and was sighing, when he suddenly saw Zhao Chongzhao walking towards him.In order to prevent Zhao Chongzhao from being too close, Xie Ze'an distanced himself first: "Your Majesty, you are here."

Zhao Chongzhao also saw Erniang getting close to Dalang just now, and his heart was sore, seeing Xie Zean's behavior made him even more unhappy.He grabbed Xie Zean's hand without refusal: "Sanlang."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Xie Ze'an was too lazy to separate from Zhao Chongzhao, and only hoped that Zhao Chongzhao would not make other noises.

Zhao Chongzhao was quite measured, he clenched Xie Zean's hand for a while, and let it go obediently.He smiled at the person who came forward to talk to him, and he did not shy away from revealing his closeness to Xie's family.

When the sun is westward, it is finally over.

After all, Zhao Chongzhao couldn't stay for too long, so he could only return to the palace reluctantly.

On the other side, the banquet in Jinyulou is still in progress.Cai Dong observed the others calmly, and finally sat down with Yao Qingze and others.Sitting next to Yao Qingze was Shen Jingqing. Shen Jingqing straightened her back a lot and acted very close to Yao Qingze.

Cai Dong and Shen Jingqing are like-minded, and they have frequent contacts on weekdays.Through the bridge of Shen Jingqing, I got to know Yao Qingze, the son of a high-ranking official. He is so beautiful on the surface, but his core is not the same as them?Shen Jingqing's younger sister had already gotten along with Yao Qingze during her filial piety, and now she has officially married into Yao's family. Shen Jingqing regards herself as Yao Qingze's uncle, and she doesn't know much about her face.

Cai Dong heard Shen Jingqing mention the turmoil of dismissing his prime minister not long ago, and he made up his mind to join the boat of Yao's family.Leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade. Although Zhao Chongzhao has been stabilized by Xie Zean now, Yao Dingyan will not just give up like this!

Prime Minister Meng's fortunes are over, who will be the next prime minister?No matter how you look at it, it is Yao Dingyan who Zhao Chongzhao admires the most.

Dai Shi and Zhang Dayi are looking down from the top floor of the Jinyu Building.The pattern underneath is very clear. The people at Cai Dong's table are the most radical group in the "New Party". In comparison, the table where Gu Yun, Gu Cheng and his son are at is obviously more rational.

Zhang Dayi asked Dai Shi: "Can you officials really hold on?"

Dai Shi said: "Officials have their own ideas." He asked about something else, "I heard that Yao Qingze has been targeting Mr. Gu and his son?"

Zhang Dayi said: "There is such a thing. The bridge between them was formed many years ago. Even if they are both new parties, they have not eased."

Dai Shi was in a heavy heart.The burden on Xie Ze'an is not light. Yao Dingyan and Xu Juncheng are both teachers of Xie Ze'an. Xie Ze'an's thinking has both a part of Yao Dingyan and a part of Xu Juncheng.This is a good thing in the first place, but if you listen to both, you will be bright and if you listen, you will be dark. Unfortunately, this is the most unpleasant state.

Neither Xu Juncheng nor Yao Dingyan would truly regard Xie Zean as one of their own.

Even if there is no reservation when teaching, Xie Ze'an will not be involved in the actual planning.

People like Yao Qingze and those who belong to the "New Party" will attack, can Xie Ze'an get a good deal?

Dai Shi was worried in his heart, and his complexion became dignified.

Zhang Dayi is a businessman who is good at observing words and deeds.He asked: "Did Saburo encounter any problems? You don't have to worry about it. When did Saburo get stumped?"

Dai Shi said, "He is."

Xie Zeancai is as old as Zhao Chongzhao.Zhao Chongzhao is the king of a country, surrounded by countless capable people to assist him, it is very difficult to make a wrong step.Xie Zean is different, the people around Xie Zean are all found by himself, and some of them are not completely thinking of Xie Zean.Xie Dalang is considered the closest person to Xie Ze'an, the person Xie Ze'an can trust with confidence, but now Xie Dalang is about to get married.

Xie Zeancai.

People of the same age are gradually getting married, but he has already experienced the pain of losing his wife.This is just one of them, what's more terrible is that few people remember his age, even the wise and mighty emperor, before he passed away, put all the burdens on him.In the past, Xie Ze'an thought a lot and planned far, and they thought Xie Ze'an was too thoughtful, but now it seems that that little deployment is far from enough.

He is still a teenager, why do he have to carry so many burdens?

Dai Shi and the others watched Xie Zean grow up, and hoped that Xie Zean could live happily like a real boy.

But Mr. Xie Ze'an is so busy, so he can only sneak in to get closer to his family members.

Although Zhang Dayi's affection for Xie Ze'an was not comparable to that of Dai Shi, he thought a lot after seeing Dai Shi's complicated expression.The relationship between Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao has twists and turns, and I don't know if it will change again in the future.The favor given by the emperor is not so easy to get after all, relying on this glory for a while, you don't know how you will die in the future.

Zhang Dayi said: "Only those of you around will remember that he is still so young, and outsiders, who will remember that he is only eighteen." He will not remember what kind of life such an older boy should lead.Zhang Dayi instructed, "He doesn't take care of himself even when he's busy, so you should take good care of him at ordinary times."

Dai Shi looked at the real concern on Zhang Dayi's face, and felt a little happy for Xie Ze'an.No matter what happens in the future, there will always be someone who treats Xie Zean sincerely.

"We will," he nodded.

The guests were gone, and everything was silent.

Xie Ze'an drank alone in the courtyard.

Xie Ze'an doesn't like drinking, let alone drinking alone.When Dai Shi came back and saw this scene, he was a little surprised and a little worried.He took a step forward: "Officer."

Xie Ze'an said, "Are you back? Are you okay?"

Dai Shi said: "It's nothing, I just found that 'Cai Yang' and Yao Qingze are getting very close, I don't know if something will happen."

Xie Ze'an said: "Brother Yao used to be a good person." He lowered his eyes, "Brother Yao will take part in the imperial examination next year, and I'm afraid he will be the No. He's offended to death, I'm afraid there will be disputes between me and them in the future, you ask people to keep an eye on them."

Dai Shi said: "Officials, don't worry, we have never relaxed."

Xie Ze'an looked at the late autumn night, feeling melancholy in his heart.He said: "The rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building. I hope the wind and rain will not come too fast, we are not really ready yet."

Xie Zean's expectations turned out to be extravagant expectations.

At the turn of October and November, a solar eclipse suddenly occurred.The matter of solar eclipse can be big or small, and this natural phenomenon in the court is often used as a weapon of attack by those who want to attack.This time the solar eclipse happened to coincide with a severe drought, many grains withered before the harvest, and refugees fled to the capital to ask for help.The two things collided, and Zhao Chongzhao's heart was flustered, and he agreed with the new party.

The solar eclipse was regarded as a warning from the heavens, and the object of the warning must be someone of high status, either Zhao Chongzhao himself, or the prime minister Meng Yuanshao who was the head of all officials.

Zhao Chongzhao's choice was simple and rude.

Between the death of himself and the death of Meng Yuanshao, decisive death of Meng Yuanshao!

Seeing that the general situation was over, Meng Yuanshao stood up helplessly, took the initiative to blame himself, and asked to be removed from the post of prime minister.

After the ruling, the new party celebrates with each other, as if the phase has been firmly in the hands of Yao Dingyan.

Xie Ze'an went to Meng's house at noon.

Meng Yuanshao said: "When I was the prime minister, the house was full of guests, but you were never among them; after I was dismissed, there were few people, but you were the first to come. Xie Sanlang, your persistence in your bones may kill you."

Xie Ze'an said: "I didn't insist on anything." He smiled, "If you came to me before, how could you have time to pay attention to me? Only when I come to you now can I talk to you properly."

Meng Yuanshao said: "I'm stepping back this time, so I don't care about the affairs of the court. I'm going to go to the old horse to drink tea and play chess. You are by His Majesty's side, so you should persuade him a little more."

Meng Yuanshao was talking about Ma Yushi, and Xie Ze'an had been watching over Ma Yushi and his wife.Although they were far away from the capital city, they lived a comfortable life. Ma Yushi stopped complaining and looked a lot more friendly. He often stopped and stopped in the surrounding counties and towns to learn about people's livelihood and conditions.

After running for a whole year, I have gained a lot.

Xie Ze'an said: "Old Ma will be very happy."

Seeing Xie Zean, Meng Yuanshao did not dissuade him, so he knew that Xie Zean was ready.He sighed: "It's unexpected that I can last for two or three years. Your Majesty, he has done better than we imagined. I still have some old acquaintances in the court. You can discuss with them if you have anything. And Xu Yannian Xu Participating in politics is actually a very talented person, and he has many disciples, if you can persuade him, many things can be easily solved."

Xie Zean took it seriously.

Meng Yuanshao said: "I recommended you, Mr. Xu, to your majesty. I don't know if your majesty will consider it. If you have the opportunity, you can give your majesty some advice. The new party has a huge momentum. If no one can compete with them, the consequences will be disastrous .”

Xie Ze'an paused and nodded.

He left the Meng Mansion and did not enter the palace immediately, but went home for dinner.In the evening, he was on the night shift. After reading the paperwork in his hand, he went to the window and looked at the desolate scenery outside from autumn to winter, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Suddenly, the door of the classroom creaked and was pushed open from the outside.The wind came in from outside, Xie Ze'an retracted his sleeves, and turned to look at the person coming.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Sanlang, are you done?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Your Majesty's calculations are really accurate. I just finished my work." He looked at Zhao Chongzhao, "Is Your Majesty doing something?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "The phase is hanging in the air, and everyone else talked a lot in front of me, but Sanlang, you didn't say a word to me." He walked in step by step, "Sanlang, you can't make up your mind either. ?"

Xie Ze'an said: "The two candidates in Your Majesty's mind are both my teachers."

Zhao Chongzhao sat down at the table, invited Xie Zean to sit aside, and said, "Yes, I am very embarrassed. Both Xu Canzheng and Yao Canzheng are competent. I have thought about it for a long time..."

Xie Ze'an said, "Your Majesty has decided?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Almost." He stared at Xie Ze'an, "At first I couldn't make up my mind, but I suddenly thought of your name Sanlang."

Balance, balance.

Zhao Ying gave Xie Zean such a name, obviously because he wanted him to always remember the word "balance".

Zhao Chongzhao said: "To implement the new law, a certain degree of centralization of power is necessary. But only a part of it can be concentrated, and all the decision-making power of the entire imperial court cannot be handed over to one person. Mr. Yao wants to establish three divisions. The Department of Regulations can be established, but it can only manage new laws, and other decisions have to be decided by the Political Affairs Hall. I think it is better for Mr. Xu to be the head of the Political Affairs Hall.”

After Xie Ze'an listened carefully, he replied, "Your Majesty is wise."
