Mother, who gave birth to him in October after a hard pregnancy, has never taught him to enjoy a day of loving mother since he was born.Raising her in front of Queen Dugu's knees when she was young is not counted, but even if he worked hard and finally practiced Zuo, became the ruler of Dachu, and enshrined her in Nanxun Palace with the intention of being close, what did he gain?

The daily conversations are all tentative and cruel, and even the rare warmth is exchanged under consideration.So unbearable and helpless.

It is true that everyone has brothers, and I die alone.

Xie Xun hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward to hold Li Ju's hand, gently pressed the bruised palm that had been pinched, and said in a harmonious voice: "The empress dowager has lost a brother, and it is inevitable to mourn too much. The saint does not need to worry too much. But The external affairs have not yet come to a conclusion, so why don't the ministers investigate them?"

Li Jue looked at Xie Xun, blinked his eyes, tears were already falling.He suddenly took Xie Xun into his arms, his mouth was already trembling, he bit his lips and endured for a long time before he calmed down, and said bitterly: "I did nothing wrong. Feng Zhaofu is a rebellious minister, and Xie Bi has already written down his charges. Everything is involved, I never wronged him."

While speaking, Li Jue felt cold, but the body of the person in his arms was slender and lonely, and the patterns embroidered on the purple clothes were noble and distant, and he couldn't absorb any heat.He didn't know what it was like when the first emperor was holding the corner of Yang Gong's clothes when he left, but now he only knows that even if the matter has come to this point, he has no intention of letting go, and at the end a sob sounded from his lips: "Xie Lang , you promise me, I won't teach you anything, you just stand by my side."

Xie Xun just kept silent, let him hold him, and then spoke softly after a long time, but asked another thing: "The sage doesn't teach the minister to interrogate Zhang Yize's nephew, but he knows that there are many things behind it, don't you want the minister to make enemies?"

Li Ju's breath was stagnant, and then he smiled weakly: "Xie Lang is very smart, I can't hide anything from you."

Xie Xun seemed to be smiling, but there was a lot of fatigue in that smile, he whispered: "It's late."

"What?" Li Ju didn't seem to understand, "Why is it late?"

Xie Xun said indifferently: "If the sage didn't teach the ministers to take care of this matter at first, it's fine, but now the minister has offended one or two people for this matter. If he withdraws now, does the sage want to teach the ministers to die without a place to bury him?"

Li Ju's body froze, and he said in a low voice, "I'm confused."

"It's okay, even a noble person like Xie Bi knows how to be kind to the king, so it's possible that a minister can't compare to him." Xie Xun chuckled, reached out and patted Li Jue on the shoulder, "It's almost over , saints don’t worry.”

Now it is October of the first year of Chenghui, and Chang'an City has entered the winter day in the old calendar when the day is at the end of the day and the water is beginning to freeze and the ground is beginning to freeze.Even so, it is still hot in the southern sky in October, and there are still half-leaved pistils and a few red flowers blooming beside the Taiye Pool, which has temporarily slowed down the chill that has gradually invaded the body.If we look further back, there should probably be flowers scattered outside the bamboos carrying fragrant cold into the Yao banquet, and small emerald birds lodged in moss branches embellished with jade.

Hearing Xie Xun's persuasion, Li Ju stood in the same place silently for a moment, then suddenly took his hand and walked towards Taiye Pond.

Empress Xie Ci happened to think that the sage was caught up in state affairs recently, and she was suffering from a certain illness, so she could not live up to the scenery beside the Taiye Pool, so she ordered people to remove the golden bells from the flower, so that the few birds that seemed to be sparse could appreciate them.When Cui Xueheng personally carried the birdcage that kept Yelai to Taiye Pond, he happened to meet Su Yan. Su Yan knew Cui Xueheng, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Ms. Cui, why are you doing the labor yourself?"

Cui Xueheng made up his mind to recognize it, and then remembered that this was the yellow gate next to Xie Bi that he saw the day before yesterday, so he stopped and replied with a smile: "Ye Lai loves water vapor, and the Xuanwei Hall is a little dry. In this season, the gate in front of the hall is a bit dry. There is no good scene in the tank Weng, so His Highness asked the servant to take care of it."

Yelai is a snow-white parrot that Li Jue gave to Xie Ci in the past. He originally proposed the name Xueyi, but later changed his name to Yelai.There is another ability in this, which is not a big deal in detail, but at that time Xie Ci was devoted to taking care of Li Fang, and he didn't pay much attention to this stubborn thing, let alone just a name.On the other hand, Cui Xueheng quietly mentioned: "The name of this Xueyi seems to be the story of Ming Huang's imperial concubine?"

So Li Jue was a little depressed when he heard it, and when he thought about it, he had lost his mind, so he stopped talking and said with a smile: "The empress is well-read and knowledgeable, let's make up a satisfactory one myself." Compassion is the kindness and gentleness that people are known for, and there is nothing wrong with it, so he nodded in agreement.

When Li Ju came the next day, he heard Cui Xueheng call the parrot "Ye Lai". It's the time."

Xie Ci didn't understand what it meant, and smiled suspiciously with beautiful eyebrows and eyes: "Could it be possible that Ye Lai is named after it? I can't teach it to make clothes for concubines, which concubines can't wear."

At the end, she reached out and stroked Yelai's wings, with a soft smile on her face.Li Jue became bored, and the matter was revealed like this.

After Li Jun left at night, Xie Ci took the jade dagger that Li Fang grabbed when he was catching Zhou, and teased him for a while.Because Li Fang went to bed early, when Cui Xueheng replaced the palace man on duty, Xie Ci was already standing outside the pavilion looking at Ye Lai laughing.Cui Xueheng thinks that only spring nights can feel charming, but now, he can really get the saying of Du Gongbu: "The night comes and the birds are gone, and the crows roost after they are killed".

Su Yan doesn't know about this situation, one is not good at ci and allusions, and the other is that the greeting here is just out of etiquette, there is no need to involve a lot, the two of them are tacitly aware, they just smile and want to stagger.

"Miss Cui." Su Yan stopped her suddenly, and asked in a low voice inadvertently, "When Empress Ming Yi was here, the doctor who took care of her fetal portrait was Liu Shang's medical officer?"

Cui Xueheng's heart trembled subconsciously when he heard the words, and immediately thought that Si Yao Chen Zhao had a good relationship with Xiao Shao, and Xiao Shao and Xie Bi served in front of the imperial court together - if Su Yan had any doubts, he shouldn't have asked himself.She was a little uncertain about Su Yan's meaning for a while, and she was a little vague when she answered, "It's Chen Siyao."

Having got the answer, Su Yan backed away.Although Cui Xueheng said that he was cautious, Xie Ci was not like Xie Yi in the past, even if he reported it, he might not be able to get results.When she thought of this, she was startled suddenly - she thought that Su Yan also understood the reasoning, so he felt relieved to ask.When she wanted to ask more questions, the man went away. She bowed her head in the same place and remained silent for a while. The palace people behind her did not dare to disturb each other. They didn't raise their eyes in surprise until they heard a laugh.

It was Li Jue and Xie Xun.

Li Jue was probably in a very good mood today, and with a smile on his lips, he talked to Xie Xun who was beside him. Xie Xun raised his eyes and saw Cui Xueheng, and wondered, "That's the parrot that the saint gave to the queen?" The two saluted, and Li Ju waved his hand to her and said: "Xiao Shao still has trivial matters to attend to in the Zichen Palace, so you can come and serve her."

Cui Xueheng didn't know the news that the Empress Dowager Feng Yan had died, and seeing that Li Ju was in a good mood, she said in a low voice: "Your servant obeys the order." Then he handed Ye Lai to the palace man behind him, and after a few words, the palace man said Return.

Xie Xun on one side smiled and said: "Ms. Cui has her own affairs. When the saint didn't see Mrs. Cui coming, he never thought of asking Mrs. Cui to serve him."

"Of course there is a reason." Li Jue said indifferently, "Recently after the handover of Khotan and Tubo, I taught this servant girl to serve as an attendant, so that I can teach the queen to be happy when I go back."

Seeing this, Xie Xun couldn't help laughing: "It's really a blessing for the Chu Dynasty that the saint values ​​Her Royal Highness the Empress."

Li Jun said noncommittally: "That is also your blessing."

After speaking, without waiting for Xie Xun's answer, Li Jue asked instead: "How about the residence where the King of Khotan is housed? In two or three days, Khotan's rulers and ministers will return to Khotan. What is Mr. Xie's plan?"

Regarding this matter, Xie Xun had long thought about it in his heart, and immediately said: "The sage just gives orders."

Seeing that he answered happily, the doubts that he hadn't suppressed years ago resurfaced one or two layers, but he couldn't find any other reason, so he put it down again.

Suddenly, a yellow door walked up to him with a food box, and said with a smile: "The Fangfeng porridge ordered by the sage just now is ready, but Mr. Xie, do you want to use it?"

The Fangfeng porridge was originally used in the Cold Food Festival, but now there are some good cooks in the palace who cook it to make it more delicious than ordinary minced meat.Li Jun laughed and said: "The wind in Chang'an has been cool recently, and all affairs, big or small, have to be handled by Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie should take good care of his body. I think there is nothing else that can catch Mr. Xie's eyes, but it was my ex-son Xie Bi who sent me here." This Fangfeng porridge, after I tasted it, was fine. Xueheng, I'm going to serve Mr. Xie."

Xie Xun took a step back and said with a smile: "How dare you work on Mrs. Cui, I just use it myself."

"What are you afraid of, Xie Xianggong is too careful." Li Jue sighed softly, but didn't say much more.

Cui Xueheng was inconvenient to listen to the affairs of the outside court, seeing this, she just lowered her eyes and served Xie Xun to drink the Fangfeng porridge, and stood aside to serve, but she did not hear the conversation between the monarch and his ministers for a long time.

Xie Xun stood by the Taiye Pool for a while, then bid farewell to Li Jue and went down to Zhongshu Gate.

King Khotan and his officials left Chang'an on October [-], the first year of Chenghui.Afterwards, all the ministers in the court vaguely knew about the saint's plan, but they were caught up in the matter of Zhang Yize's nephew earlier, and few people spoke out against it.

Once the stove set is set to open, the pan chrysanthemum cup will be delivered.

On October [-]th of the first year of Chenghui, Yang Gongshan was still recuperating in the government due to illness, but Xie Xun refused to wait for him any longer, and directly took charge of the third judge to try Zhang Yize's nephew and his relatives.

The matter was quickly heard and it became clear that most of the officials involved were from Feng Zhaofu's party, two civil servants with a rank of three or higher, six with a rank of five or higher, and three generals of the Zuo Shence Army.Xie Xun folders the reviewed list
