Prince Consort

Yao Dingyan was in a bad mood.

Since Zhao Chongzhao ascended the throne, he has been going smoothly.As he expected, Zhao Chongzhao trusted and relied heavily on him.Everything started to change after Xie Ze'an returned to Beijing. His status was dropped, his power was restricted, and several new laws were seized...everything was inseparable from Xie Ze'an.

Seeing that Xie Zhe'an even wanted to use the green seedling method in his hand, Yao Dingyan's anger was pushed to the highest point.Putting Fang Baoding and Shen Cunzhong into the third division is a compromise of last resort, and now Xie Zean's hand is really getting longer and longer!

Yao Dingyan returned home angrily, Yao Qingze and Du Wan were there.Yao Dingyan's face sank when he saw his own people, but he never showed the anger in his heart.

Yao Dingyan said: "Qingze, it will be difficult for you to benefit from staying in Beijing, so why don't you let it out for a while."

Du Wan was secretly happy when she heard Yao Dingyan's suggestion.From the first meeting, Yao Qingze was hostile towards him, since Yao Dingyan put Yao Qingze as far away as possible!

Yao Qingze's expression turned ugly after hearing this.He thought of all the grievances he had suffered in the past few years, and his eyes were almost red.Seeing Yao Dingyan's determined face, Yao Qingze's lips trembled slightly, and after a long time he said, "Okay."

Yao Dingyan signaled him to go back and take care of his own affairs, leaving Du Wan to discuss the next step of the Green Crop Law.

Sending Du Wan away, Yao Dingyan sat in front of the desk for a long time, and suddenly heard someone report: "Officer, Xie Sanlang is here." Xie Ze'an used to come to him often, and the servants used to call him very close.

Yao Dingyan originally wanted to keep Xie Zean out, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "Let him in."

Xie Ze'an pushed the door open and entered, dressed in a green robe with a white background, with clear and beautiful features.Unknowingly, that child with a little cunning has grown into such an outstanding young man.

Yao Dingyan wanted to swear a few words at first, but he paused when he thought of Xie Ze'an's hob-like character.This guy scolds for nothing, he doesn't care at all!

Yao Dingyan asked Xie Zean to sit down with a wooden face.

Xie Ze'an handed the manuscript to Yao Dingyan: "Sir, this is the charter of the cooperative. Please help me to see if there are any omissions."

Yao Dingyan laughed angrily: "Sanlang, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"

Xie Ze'an said without hesitation: "I'm so stupid."

Yao Dingyan looked at Xie Ze'an firmly.

Xie Ze'an said: "In my heart, my husband will always be my husband. You also know that I didn't really want to be your student at the beginning. After getting along, I slowly got to know my husband."

Xie Ze'an's words were extremely cunning, and Yao Dingyan was pulled back to the past by Xie Ze'an.When I first met Xie Ze'an, he was still a little boy.This guy is lazy by nature, and he is only willing to do things if he is forced to do something. If he has any good things, he doesn't want to use them to benefit the people, and he will teach his "confidantes" behind closed doors.At that time, he felt that this kid was spending too much time, how could he be so tactful at such a young age...

In retrospect, he was indeed the one who persecuted him, and he personally gave Xie Zean the manuscripts related to the new law. What Xie Zean did was to learn all his skills and use all the subtleties of his new law. It is true that he has done something that disrespects the teacher.

The court battles are based on their own abilities, but Xie Ze'an has set up a more perfect game, and he is not wronged if he loses.

Yao Dingyan said: "If you show me all the regulations, aren't you afraid that I will trip you up?"

Xie Ze'an said frankly: "I believe that you are not such a person, sir."

Yao Dingyan paused.Doesn't he know what kind of person he is?He happened to be the 'such a person' that Xie Ze'an said.If the person sitting in front of him was replaced by someone else—and the one who reached out to Xinfa was replaced by someone else, he would have already squeezed the other party out of the capital just like he did with Gu Cheng and his son.It happened to be against Xie Ze'an, Yao Dingyan was a little bit hesitant to make up his mind.

Call Xie Zean stupid, but Xie Zean is not completely stupid.If he wants to target cooperatives, it doesn't matter whether he sends this manuscript or not.Xie Ze'an offered it with both hands in order to bet that there was still some teacher-student friendship between them—or, to put it another way, he wanted to arouse the teacher-student friendship in his heart.

This guy is courageous enough and confident enough in his own people that he is not afraid of criticizing the charter of the cooperative.

Yao Dingyan flipped through the manuscript handed over by Xie Ze'an, and drew the final bottom line with a cold face: "If you make a mistake, I will not be a gentleman and stand by."

Xie Ze'an said sincerely: "If you make a mistake, sir, you can correct us, I couldn't be happier."

Yao Dingyan's face darkened.Xie Ze'an's statement was so smooth, it sounded like he was mocking him for not listening to people's opinions.He replied bluntly: "If there is a mistake in the Green Crop Law, you can also 'correct it'."

Xie Ze'an's eyes lit up: "Really?" He immediately poked his nose up at his face and took it out of his sleeve pocket, "I happened to collect some data, and I want to discuss it with you, sir..."

Yao Ding said: "... Get lost!"

Xie Zean touched his nose.Sure enough, you can't take polite words seriously!

He still escaped with another manuscript: "I'll leave it to my husband. If he has time, he can read it."

Yao Ding said nothing.

Xie Ze'an said cautiously: "Then I'll go back first?"

Yao Dingyan said, "Wait, I have something to discuss with you."

Xie Ze'an was taken aback, and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Yao Dingyan said: "Qingze has been doing nothing for the past few years. If you look closely, the reason lies with you."

Xie Ze'an called Qu: "...I didn't do anything, sir, you can't frame me."

Yao Dingyan glared at him: "It's because Qingze has hated you too much these past few years and lost his heart."

Xie Zean fell silent.

Yao Dingyan said: "I'm going to let him go out for a while. Since you and His Majesty are going to do a lot of shipping, the Shibo Department should be strictly controlled. I think you will leave a position for Qingze. It doesn't matter if you are a little bit tired. It doesn’t matter if you can’t get in touch with the real core, as long as you can train him and let him understand what you are doing.” It’s not that he doesn’t look down on his son, but that his son’s mind and vision are far from Xie Ze’an’s .Xie Ze'an is obviously younger than Yao Qingze, and he is already able to stand against the "New Party" in court, so what's the use of being jealous?

Yao Dingyan knew that Xie Zean and Yao Qingze had always been very different. Yao Qingze didn't want to make friends with Xie Zean, and Xie Zean would not go out of his way to associate with Yao Qingze.His request was to hope that Xie Ze'an could help change Yao Qingze's mentality, so that he would stop using "differences in ways and not conspiring with each other" to prevaricate him.

The trouble should end it.

As a father, he can only do so much.If Yao Qingze was still stubborn, he wouldn't show his old face to ask Xie Zean to do something else.

Xie Zean was taken aback.Yao Dingyan had always been cold-faced and cold-hearted, and he didn't pretend to talk about Yao Qingze's son, but these words came out of his father's heart.His weakness is very hidden, and few people can find it, but Yao Dingyan's words hit it by mistake.

Xie Ze'an said: "I'll think about it when I go back, and I will definitely give my husband an answer as soon as possible."

Yao Dingyan nodded.

Xie Ze'an left the Yao Mansion, not feeling much relaxed.It was like stepping on a tightrope between him and Yao Dingyan, and he didn't know when it would fall off.He went to Yao Dingyan's door to see if Yao Dingyan was angry.If Yao Dingyan was so angry that he lost his mind, then none of them would have a hard time - Gu Cheng's "poetry case" was a bloody lesson.

Xu Juncheng's antipathy towards the new law has been magnified after the "Poetry Case" happened. If Zhao Chongzhao's bad news of "no way" hadn't slowed him down, Gu Cheng's case might have turned into a confrontation between the two sides.

The two teachers were getting more and more at odds, and Xie Zean felt very tired.

After temporarily reaching a "truce" agreement with Yao Dingyan, Xie Ze'an immediately went home to discuss with Du Qing and Du Xing about Yao Qingze's affairs.

Du Xing had a complicated expression on his face: "You're really busy, you still have to take care of his son?"

Du Qing said: "If you let someone in who you don't deal with, you won't be afraid that he will mess up the plan of the cooperative?"

Xie Ze'an said shamelessly, "Don't be afraid, aren't you here?"

Du Qing Du Xing: "..."

Du Qing and Du Xing's brain circuits have always been different from ordinary people. When Xie Ze'an said this, they were also quite complacent: Yes, aren't they here?It's just a little kid, what can happen?It may take a little courage to confront Yao Dingyan, but it is not easy to hit a child's fragile heart...

Du Xing made a final decision: "Okay, that's the decision, count him in."

Du Qing said, "Hehe, we will treat him well."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Ouch, it seems that Yao Qingze was accidentally pushed into the fire pit.

The three discussed the result, and Xie Ze'an immediately wrote to Yao Dingyan.The Shibo Department is the ancient customs, which is in charge of entry and exit matters by sea.Of course, Yao Qingze couldn't be the number one, since the local chief executive would usually be the one to do it concurrently, so the position of number two could be considered.

Yao Dingyan said that although this request was a bit troublesome, Xie Zean wanted to openly handle the matter of shipping and cooperatives. The more transparent the process, the better, and the more people supervised, the better.He doesn't want the things he created to become profit-making tools for some people in the future. Openness and transparency are the most conducive to their development.

This is also the reason why Xie Ze'an didn't mind showing Yao Dingyan the plan: first, Yao Dingyan would definitely see it when he was going to pass the Political Affairs Hall, and it would not take two days; second, it would be great if Yao Dingyan was willing to criticize. The person who created several new methods by himself must have a better brain than him!

Of course, don't mess around like you came up with "Poetry Case".

After Xie Ze'an arranged all the affairs, he entered the palace again and asked Zhao Chongzhao to go out to play.

After autumn, there were fewer worries, and Zhao Chongzhao finally had a lot of leisure.He was just about to ask Xie Zean to visit the newly built summer resort, but when Xie Zean mentioned it, he responded immediately, and planned the itinerary instead of customers: "Change the best horses along the way, and it won't take a whole day to go back and forth."

Since occupying the Hetao Plain, Zhao Chongzhao has gained a lot of confidence when he mentioned "horse".Coupled with the war horses produced in Xixia, it is now enough to supply the needs of Daqing cavalry!

Of course, Xie Ze'an would not object to Zhao Chongzhao's suggestion.He has been following up on the progress of the construction of the Summer Palace, knowing that [-] to [-]% of it has been built there, so it would be good to go and have a look.

The two set off lightly.

Zhao Chongzhao did not engage in any face-saving projects such as "every household must enshrine my portrait", and not many people recognized him along the way, so there was no trouble.The palace is in the direction of the north, backed by a snow-covered mountain peak, a steady stream of active springs rushing down from the mountain, and the sound of rushing water can be heard from a distance.This small noise did not cover the silence of the autumn mountains. The overlapping peaks were coated with a layer of golden yellow, and the sun shone on them, and a piece of gold fell down.

The Xinggong stretches up from the foot of the mountain and is built with the momentum of mountains and rivers. It seems to be integrated with the mountain peaks, which is quite beautiful.Ten curved arch bridges are erected on a long winding river ten miles away from the palace, like long rainbows across the water.Thanks to the completion of these ten bridges, Wuyang City on the other side of the river has become very lively and has become a transportation hub and trade center in this area.

This was something Zhao Chongzhao did not expect.He clicked his tongue in amazement: "The last time we came here, it was pretty deserted here."

Xie Ze'an enigmatically uttered a wise saying (promotional slogan): "To get rich, first build roads."

Zhao Chongzhao was stunned, and felt quite reasonable: "Yes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!"

Xie Zean coughed lightly and did not express any further comments.

Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Zean rode out of the palace together, then got off their horses and dragged Xie Zean inside to visit.When he arrived at the inner garden, Xie Ze'an felt that the two pools in the courtyard looked quite familiar...

It looks like a swimming pool!

Zhao Chongzhao introduced complacently: "Sanlang, don't you like to play that kind of swimming? When building the palace, someone discovered that there are several springs here. I changed this according to the design in your yard. There are hot springs on one side and cold springs on the other. , whether it is winter or summer, we can come here to play!"

Xie Ze'an said: "Not bad." This comfortable life is just right for him!

There were still some places in the palace that were not finished. Xie Ze'an and Zhao Chongzhao walked around and looked around, and they were basically satisfied.They changed into ordinary clothes and turned into Wuyang City, looking for some delicious and interesting things to try along the way.This kind of ordinary thing is indeed shocking to many people. As an emperor, how can he eat and drink on the street, and occasionally bargain with others?Xie Ze'an didn't owe anything, and had a great time playing with Zhao Chongzhao.

When the sun set, Xie Ze'an reminded Zhao Chongzhao: "It's time for us to go back."

Zhao Chongzhao was very happy after playing for a day, and he didn't feel disappointed after hearing Xie Zean's reminder, so he happily dragged Xie Zean on his way back.
