Prince Consort

Xie Ze'an felt that Xie Dalang's unwavering appearance was inappropriate, so he quietly went to discuss it with Xie Jiyu and Xie Wangbo.Xie Wangbo said: "You are really busy, you have to worry about your sister's marriage first, and then worry about your brother's marriage."

Xie Ze'an glanced at Xie Wangbo quietly.

Could it be that Xie Wangbo was the one who brought Da Lang down?

Xie Wangbo is in his [-]s, unmarried, single, doing everything freely.

Seeing Xie Zean's small eyes, Xie Wangbo immediately understood what he was thinking.Xie Wangbo sneered and said, "What do you think, kid? Whether everyone wants to get married is his own business, let alone you are not his father." He glanced at Xie Jiyu, "Even if you are his father, you can't control it."

Xie Jiyu: "..."

Xie Jiyu is also very annoying recently. One son became a son-in-law, and the other refused to marry. As a father, he is really worried.But Zhao Ying didn't let him go, and gave him the task of receiving the Xixia envoys.He is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, how can he have any reason to take care of these things?

The court has already spread the word, saying that he has the possibility to go further.

What's the next step?The prime minister's deputy, and knows political affairs. Although there are not no 40-year-old political advisers, they are definitely rare.

Xie Jiyu originally just wanted to protect his family and live a comfortable life. Taking over the Xie family in Tongchuan, serving as a political adviser, etc., were things he had never imagined.

It became increasingly difficult for him to understand Zhao Ying's thoughts.

Xie Jiyu said: "Sanlang, I will talk to Dalang." He looked at Xie Ze'an, "You should pay more attention to the affairs of the East Palace, and don't let another person like your fifth brother appear there."

Xie Zean shuddered and nodded.

Xie Ze'an gave Dai Shi a few days to find out who Yao Qingze was.Yao Qingze was quite famous among them, and Dai Shi got a lot of news without much effort.Yao Qingze was very intelligent since he was a child. When he was three years old, someone deliberately made things difficult for him. He pointed to the roe and deer in the same cage and asked him, "Is that just a roe? Is that just a deer?" .” Everyone present was amazed, and Yao Qingze’s talent spread.

Yao Qingze grew up in Buddhist temples since he was a child, because Zhao Ying abolished the various preferential treatment given to Buddhist and Taoist families by the late emperor, and imposed slightly heavier taxes on monks and Taoist priests than ordinary people, life in the temple was extremely difficult.Yao Qingze and the host have been close friends for many years, and put forward many ideas to improve the "economic situation" of the Buddhist temple. In the end, he actually regarded the Buddhist temple as a place for his own practice, and changed it into a place similar to "Buddhist tourist attractions".I don't know if the incense is prosperous or not, but the people who come and go can't help but go up and have a look. Some will stay overnight, some will have a fast meal, or they will pay them a small amount of money.

Yao Qingze was less than ten years old at that time.

When Yao Qingze was older, he was able to organize monks to give porridge to the people around him, give free medical consultations, and write family letters.Most of the people in that area called him "Little Saint Monk" and respected him very young.

And Yao Qingze's pen is very good, when he saw some strange and unfair things when he traveled with the monks, it was inevitable that he would write an article to express it, and his past writings were full of words.

Dai Shi carefully collected Yao Qingze's articles.

After reading the materials Dai Shi brought back, Xie Ze'an had to lament that there are countless strange people in the world.The words and deeds of Yao Dingyan and his son simply don't think of the people of this era. Look at what Yao Qingze, the "little holy monk", did. He obviously helped the temple to make a lot of money first, and then did some "charity" later. His image suddenly became tall up.Could this be what people at this time could think of?

Looking at Yao Qingze's articles again, they are not old stereotypes, but rather like his own experience, which can be read as interesting stories.

This kind of person may be the kind that Zhao Chongzhao likes to keep around the most, interesting but not absurd, serious but not rigid.

Xie Ze settled down, and put Yao Qingze's article into his sleeve pocket.

Yao Qingze was taught by Yao Dingyan, Yao Dingyan was full of ambition, and Yao Qingze should understand it very well.If Yao Qingze and Zhao Chongzhao had a good relationship, it would definitely affect Zhao Chongzhao's decision on the new law in the future.Whether such a person is close to Zhao Chongzhao is a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

If it was Zhao Chongzhao in the past, Xie Ze'an was still sure that he would obey him, and he didn't need to think about Xie Xi and Yao Qingze at all.But although Zhao Chongzhao hasn't really grown up yet, he is gradually becoming smarter, and he is no longer a "fat man" who can change his mind with a few words of flickering.

Those who stay with Zhao Chongzhao are smarter and more dangerous.

On the other hand, Yao Qingze also had the same comment on Xie Ze'an.

Yao Qingze said: "No wonder my father said that Xie Sanlang is a variable. His position is really unpredictable."

There was a middle-aged man in the seat, with a gloomy expression when he heard the words, he snorted: "This man is glib, and he has first-rate flattery skills, and he has no ability at all."

This person was Shen Jingqing. Yao Dingyan had won him the chance to enter the East Palace, but he displeased Zhao Chongzhao and was driven away by Zhao Chongzhao in disgust.

Yao Qingze despised this person very much in his heart, but smiled on his face: "The bad thing is that he is very good at flattering, the crown prince and him are as close as one person."

Shen Jingqing said: "That's not true. I have been watching them for the past few years. Since the past two years, the friendship between Xie Sanlang and the prince has actually faded. They still communicate with each other on weekdays. In fact, Xie Sanlang did not interfere with the Eastern Palace. If something happens, the prince will not discuss it with him again."

Yao Qingze raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Shen Jingqing said: "Their relationship should not be as good as before, otherwise there would be no Xie Xi, let alone the catastrophe of the tiger entering the city."

Yao Qingze nodded.

Shen Jingqing was very hostile to Xie Zean, and she was extremely disdainful towards Xie Zean, but she still placed Xie Zean in a very high position in her heart.Look, what he meant by this was "If Xie Ze'an came forward, a villain like Xie Xi would have no chance to jump up and down"?

Shen Jingqing is narrow-minded, but capable, Yao Qingze said with a calm face, "Then I should get to know this Xie Sanlang well."

Shen Jingqing was not sure whether it was Yao Qingze's own meaning or Yao Dingyan's, so he didn't say any more.

Yao Qingze said that getting acquainted well means really getting acquainted.He took the initiative to visit Xie Ze'an many times and made an appointment to travel with him.

Xie Ze'an wanted to understand Yao Qingze, but he didn't refuse.

After going back and forth, the two gradually became acquainted.

Yao Qingze used to be proud of his talents, and it was the first time in his life that he met someone his age who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.Although he was wary of Xie Zean in his heart, he was quite happy when they went out together.Just imagine, for the evaluation of the same thing, you say the last sentence, and the other party can immediately follow the next sentence. How happy is it to communicate?

Yao Qingze thought to himself, it would be the best if such a person could be brought to Xinfa's side.

After knowing some of Xie Zean's views on the world's finances, Yao Qingze felt that this matter could still be done, because many of Xie Zean's ideas coincided with his and his father's new laws.

With calculations in mind, Yao Qingze revealed some new methods of Yao Dingyan to Xie Ze'an from time to time when interacting with Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an had read Yao Dingyan's Wanyan book in his early years, and he immediately understood Yao Qingze's intentions as soon as Yao Qingze spoke.

Xie Zean smiled wryly.

The guy was, as expected, a loyal fan of his father.

The new law is beneficial, as many people can see.It’s just that any new policy is not a panacea. If it cannot be adjusted according to local conditions and blindly “delegate tasks” from top to bottom, it will only become an evil policy of “setting targets” and “competing political achievements” in various places.

Xie Zean had a headache.

How could he ever worry about such a thing as a common man?He doesn't want to be the one who handles the knife, but he can't bear to watch others take up the knife and try to drop it.

Evil government is fiercer than a tiger.

If only Zhao Chongzhao could really remember the lesson of the tiger entering the city.He will be the king of a country in the future, and if he thinks about it, the people below will definitely follow his fancy.

When Zhao Chongzhao supports the new law, for the sake of the Sacred Heart, political performance, and year-end assessment, the people below will carry it out regardless of the local situation, and directly assign "political tasks" to each household regardless of whether they need it or not.There have been many such things throughout the ages. When the time comes, there will be complaints and public grievances. Who will be blamed for this?

Either Zhao Chongzhao persisted to the end, supported Yao Dingyan, and swallowed the fruit himself; or Zhao Chongzhao was shaken by it, abandoned Yao Dingyan, and abolished the new law.

At that point, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end.

Xie Ze'an once again locked himself in the study for a long time.

When Xie Zean came out, Princess Yan Ning had already finished speaking with Mrs. Li. Seeing that Xie Ze'an looked normal, Princess Yan Ning asked, "What's the matter?"

Xie Ze'an smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a small decision."

Princess Yanning paused for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Little sister also likes Ang Di, after all, there are so few people in the world who can manipulate her like Ang Di. Uncle Yu Huang has a good temper, Aunt Huang He's also kind, but he doesn't know what Ang Di thinks?"

Princess Yan Ning also has another consideration. It would be best if an outstanding royal family member like Zhao Ang could stand by Zhao Chongzhao's side.Xie Xiaomei was taught by Xie Zean himself since she was a child, and she has a very different way of thinking from ordinary girls. If she can be with Zhao Ang, Zhao Ang will definitely be Zhao Chongzhao in the future——and Xie Zean's great help.

Princess Yan Ning did not dare to express such thoughts, she was extremely contradictory. On the one hand, she wanted to not be so close to Xie Zean, so that Xie Zean would not feel sad after she left; on the other hand, she did not want to share all her plans In front of Xie Zean, he was afraid that Xie Zean would only remember this kind of person in the future.

Princess Yan Ning couldn't help looking at Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an couldn't see Princess Yan Ning's many twists and turns, and he said the results of his experiment: "That boy," he couldn't help laughing, "he said, 'Brother, you should have said it earlier. Do you agree, I have already asked someone to come to propose marriage', this shameless bastard, I don't know who he looks like."

Princess Yan Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "I think I know who he looks like."

Xie Ze'an firmly vetoed it: "It's not me anyway!"

Princess Yan Ning was amused by his self-indulgence.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Xie Ze'an felt relieved and said with a light smile, "I'll go to the East Palace."

Princess Yan Ning originally wanted to ask something, but in the end she held back and stood where she was and watched him go out.
