Prince Consort

Zhao Chongzhao's restlessness is somewhat unusual.

Xie Ze'an was watching after Zhao Chongzhao fell asleep, looking at Zhao Chongzhao's profile.

Even in his sleep, Zhao Chongzhao still frowned, as if he had encountered something embarrassing and painful.

Xie Ze'an stared at Zhao Chongzhao until midnight before closing his eyes, but before dawn, he woke up again.

His whole body was aching as if being run over by a wheel, but Xie Ze'an never cared much about such trivial matters. He stood up and paused for a moment, and then his steps became steady.

Before Zhao Chongzhao woke up, Xie Ze'an got dressed and opened the window.

It was raining outside the window, and the sky was dark and unclear.It's early autumn, and the ticking rain hits the autumn leaves, always as if calling them to leave the branches as soon as possible.

Xie stood quietly in front of the window.

If he was a real boy, his reaction would never be so calm when he saw Zhao Chongzhao and Yao Qingze chatting so happily.He should be just like Zhao Chongzhao did last night, catching him uprightly to question him.It's just that these small feelings that should be taken for granted seem to have been pulled away from his bones long ago.

The reason why Zhao Chongzhao was so anxious was because he failed to get a real response from him.

But what should the real response look like?

When Xie Ze'an II came, someone taught him what responsibility is, someone taught him what principle is, and someone taught him what morality is... except for the word love, no one taught him anything.Unexpected birth, unrecognized paranoia, unaccepted repentance—every step in the previous life seems to be to teach him the deepest and most painful lesson.After all that was over, he woke up with his eyes open and became "Xie Sanlang", and soon got involved in countless disturbances along with the mystery of his identity.

He is not afraid of getting into trouble, and he dares to do anything, wishing to make things bigger-because he has to work hard to take root in this world.Only by doing it hard enough and doing it out of the ordinary can the traces he leaves in this world be deep enough.

Apart from doing this, what else can a lonely soul from another time and space not be afraid of, and not be afraid of a completely strange—an era that does not belong to itself at all?

And Li Shi, Xie Xiaomei, Xie Dalang, Yan Ning, Zhao Chongzhao... What kind of existence do they have to him?He kept saying that he was doing them well and thinking of them, but what was he really thinking in his heart?

Xie Zean lowered his eyelashes.

Hypocrisy seems to have been integrated into his blood and bones, and he never forgets to find a high-sounding excuse for himself for whatever he does or says.In fact, he is a very selfish person, he wants to have their feelings for him, but he has never given a little bit of sincerity.

In other words, he didn't know where his heart was at all.

What is the real response?

Xie Ze'an knew many things, but he didn't know how to find out the answer to this question alone.

Xie Ze'an closed his eyes for a moment, and left Zhao Chongzhao's bedroom through the secret passage.

As soon as Xie Zean walked away, Zhao Chongzhao immediately opened his eyes.Zhao Chongzhao opened his eyes wide and looked at the roof beams, his heart was full of the figure of Xie Zean standing in front of the window.Xie Zean is not happy, Xie Zean is not happy at all when he is around, even if he has done the most intimate thing, Xie Zean is still very far away from him, as far away as if he will disappear at any time.

Lu Kuan came from Liangzhou.What Lu Kuan told him was much more than what Xie Zean told him.The more Lu Kuan admired Xie Ze'an, the more flustered Zhao Chongzhao was. Xie Ze'an had done so many things in places and times he didn't know.

Xie Zean's so-called openness and sincerity were nothing more than coaxing him, and he still couldn't help him in front of Xie Zean.

Lu Kuan was right. He should do something seriously. Only by doing it himself will he know whether he can do it and how far he is from it.If he kept relying on Xie Zean to teach him little by little, he would never be able to catch up with Xie Zean.

Zhao Chongzhao quickly made up his mind.

The "New Party" has been silent for a long time, and finally ushered in another carnival.

The Department of Regulations and Regulations was established!Zhao Chongzhao decided to implement the Market Exchange Law immediately.

The content of the "Market Change Law" is very simple: the government purchases commodities on the market at a uniform price, and then the government sells them at a uniform price according to supply and demand.Yao Dingyan's original intention was very good: "To communicate what is available and what is not, power is high and cheap, and prices are equal, so mergers are also suppressed." Simply put, he wanted to use the "Market Change Law" to limit businessmen's monopoly on the economy and the market, stabilize prices, Adjust supply and demand.

More importantly, the government can obtain huge benefits from the unified pricing.

Therefore, the "Market Change Law" is a tool for turning merchants' monopoly of making money into a government monopoly of making money.

Zhao Chongzhao was very firm this time, even Xu Juncheng stood up to persuade him and never wavered.

Xie Ze'an was of a low rank, and he had no part to speak at the court meeting.He stood at the end of the hundred officials and listened quietly to Zhao Chongzhao's firm support for the new law against all opinions.

Zhao Chongzhao never mentioned this matter to him.

Once the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Three Divisions was established, almost all the powers of the Ministry of Accounting were taken away.After the court, Xie Jiyu asked Xie Zean to go home, and the family sat down and had a meal.Finally, Xie Jiyu asked: "Sanlang, you and His Majesty are so close, why don't you persuade me?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Your Majesty never discussed it with me."

Xie Jiyu fell silent.

Xie Jiyu is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The establishment of the third department and the Department of Regulations is tantamount to emptying him out.He didn't care much about his official position, but now he has provoked the burden of Xie's family in Tongchuan, Zhao Chongzhao did so suddenly...

Xie Ze'an was about to speak when he heard someone rushing to report: "Officer, it's not good, the old man has passed out!"

Xie Jiyu was taken aback, and hurried over with Xie Zean.Mrs. Xie is getting old, and his health is getting worse. In the past two years, he has even gone out less often. It is not a good thing to faint suddenly.

Xie Ze'an left a doctor with excellent medical skills in the family, and now the doctor happened to be guarding the outside, and his complexion was not very good.

The situation is obviously not optimistic.

Mrs. Xie hadn't woken up at night, Xie Jiyu thought that the household department had become an empty shell with no real power, so he simply "asked for leave" and went home to stay by Mrs. Xie's side.The fathers are like this, how can Xie Ze'an continue to work as if nothing happened, and now he is also taking leave with Xie Jiyu.

Discussions about the new law were raging outside, but Xie Jiyu and Xie Ze'an closed the door, sighing and pondering what to do next for the Xie family in Tongchuan.

Official careers naturally require someone to leave, but now it seems that they have been completely excluded by the "New Party". Even if someone from the Xie family in Tongchuan enters the dynasty, the situation will not be much better than them.

The closeness between Zhao Chongzhao and the Xie family is one thing, but what Zhao Chongzhao will do is another matter. It may not be easy to rely on that little "closeness" to maintain the glory of the Xie family in Tongchuan.

Xie Ze'an said: "If the old man really dies, we will have to go to the government to observe mourning for three years. After three years, when we return to the court, the day lily will be cold."

Xie Jiyu frowned slightly, and said, "The old lady will be fine."

Xie Ze'an said: "It's best if nothing happens, but we have to prepare for the worst."

Xie Jiyu nodded.He said: "If you really can't persuade Your Majesty, maybe it's a good thing for us not to get involved for the time being." His face was slightly dark, "Sanlang, do you remember the last confrontation between Mr. Qin and Mr. Yao? You were not in the capital at that time, but You must have heard of it."

Xie Ze'an said: "At that time, a large number of people were deported from the capital, and many of them have not returned."

Xie Jiyu said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind. If we object any more, we will undoubtedly be doing nothing. We have already created a rift in your heart, Mr. Yao. Once there is a conflict, you, Mr. Yao, will not show mercy to you." He sighed, "Let alone It is said that you have a lot of conflicts with the people from the 'New Party'... so even if you really have to observe mourning for three years, it is a good thing, at least you can avoid disasters."

Xie Zean fell silent.

Some time ago, he had a talk with Zhao Chongzhao about "creating prosperity together".But now they have to think about "avoiding disasters". It is said that companionship with a monarch is like companionship with a tiger, which is indeed true at all.

Xie Ze'an said, "I still hope the old man is okay."

The sky was not as one wished, Old Master Xie woke up the next night, confessed to Xie Jiyu and Xie Ze'an, and passed away forever.

After discussing with Xie Ze'an, Xie Jiyu and Xie Ze'an submitted a petition to Ding You.

After Zhao Chongzhao saw the memorial, he was so angry that he smashed most of the things in the study.

Xie Ze'an is leaving again, Xie Ze'an is going to Tongchuan to keep his filial piety for three years, that's three years, three years!Xie Jiyu is only separated by one layer, Ding You is reasonable, Xie Zean is the fourth generation of the Xie family, strictly speaking, he does not need to go to the government, what kind of intentions does Xie Zean have in making such an appearance?

Zhao Chongzhao dismissed Xie Zean's note viciously, and sent someone to find Xie Zean.

Ever since Zhao Chongzhao decided to implement the "Market Change Law", they tacitly avoided each other for the time being, and hadn't seen each other alone for several days.Zhao Chongzhao vaguely guessed that Xie Ze'an should be sulking because he didn't discuss it with him.But since he wants to do something by himself, how can he talk to Xie Zean about everything?Zhao Chongzhao obediently pretended to be the baby for a few days, and was going to wait for Xie Zean to pass away before coaxing him. Unexpectedly, he had not waited for Xie Zean to pass away, but he waited for such a memorial.

go again!go again!It has been three years, and now I want to go for another three years!

When Zhao Chongzhao saw Xie Zean, he slammed the memorial in front of Xie Zean: "Don't even think about it! Sanlang, don't even think about leaving the capital!"

Xie Zean frowned.

Seeing that Zhao Chongzhao's brows were full of violence and anger, Xie Ze'an paused slightly, and said, "Where did you think you were going? I didn't think about leaving." Ding You, you have to do enough gestures."

Zhao Chongzhao was taken aback.

Xie Ze'an picked up the folder that Zhao Chongzhao threw at his feet, stepped forward and put it back in front of Zhao Chongzhao: "Why are you angry? You can find a reason to dismiss it, so I don't have to leave?"

Zhao Chongzhao is not stupid, he immediately figured out the joint.He smiled happily: "It's still Sanlang who thinks well! I'll reject your Ding You application right now!"

Xie Ze'an looked at Zhao Chongzhao's cheerful appearance, and sighed in his heart.

This time, he was really too big.

If he hadn't believed too much in his influence over Zhao Chongzhao, he wouldn't have allowed Lu Kuan and the others to take advantage of it.Yao Dingyan always knew the opportunity, and he would not stop when he seized this opportunity.

The new law officially kicked off.
