The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Ji Heng didn't panic when he heard such a big thing, he quickly regained his composure, looked at Master Ji and said, "Father, what do you mean, the emperor's safety in the palace cannot be guaranteed? The Zhao family intends to marry King Wu, Is the empress dowager intending to abandon the emperor?"

Lord Ji shook his head, still with a deep expression on his face, and said, "It's really hard to guess what the Queen Mother means. Now Li Ge is very powerful, and almost all the affairs of the court and China are decided by Li Ge. The Queen Mother wants to bring in the King of Wu. Contending against Mr. Li Ge and striving for his own position, but King Wu is not a soft-legged shrimp, but a wolf. The Zhao family can't restrain King Wu at all. The Queen Mother lives in the deep palace, so she doesn't know how powerful King Wu is. That's why I want to seek skin from the tiger."

Ji Heng became deeply worried, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Father, what do you want me to do?"

Master Ji said humanely, "You don't need to do anything, you can let the emperor pay more attention to his own safety, that's all."

Ji Heng nodded, and said, "The queen mother is a very smart person. Since the Zhao family married King Wu and brought in King Wu's influence to beat Mr. Li Ge, they shouldn't be completely ignorant that King Wu is not against them. It is actually the emperor who is able to restrain the king of Wu. As long as the emperor is here, the king of Wu will not dare to go too far. If the king of Wu wants to go to Beijing, it is not justified. If he dares to send troops, he will even risk the world. So, the empress dowager and the Zhao family will understand that protecting the emperor is the most important thing. If the emperor is not safe in the palace, it is probably not the empress dowager that needs to be guarded, but the people arranged by King Wu in the palace."

Mr. Ji always knew that his son was very smart, but seeing him see things so clearly, he was even more impressed with him. Even Mr. Zhang raised his head to look at Ji Heng several times.

Master Ji said, "What you said is very reasonable. It's just that King Wu married his daughter to the Zhao family. When the time comes to escort the princess to Beijing, it is said that there will be two of his sons. These three people will be sent to the Zhao family. Wang Fenming asked them to be hostages to show sincerity and reassure the Zhao family. We are bystanders, so we don't know if the Zhao family is a fan of the authorities, and we can't see through King Wu's ruthlessness, so the queen mother will definitely keep the emperor, too. Not sure."

Ji Heng thought deeply, the muddy water in the capital might be more and more muddied.

Ji Heng said, "Father, I will go and talk to the emperor."

Master Ji said humanely, "You don't need to say too much, just let the emperor understand the situation. Otherwise, the emperor will not understand anything, and if he is kept in the dark, the courtiers will be very worried."

Ji Heng stood up and bowed to Master Ji, "My son understands."

Master Ji seemed to have something to say with Mr. Zhang, so Ji Heng resigned.

On the way back from the front yard to the back yard, Ji Heng looked at the darkened sky and sighed inwardly.

How could Ji Heng not understand Master Ji's meaning.

It is one thing to let the emperor know the danger and to pay attention to self-protection. Another thing is to let the emperor know through Ji Heng's mouth that Mr. Ji is always worried about the emperor's safety and is trying to plan for the emperor. The emperor knew and remembered his efforts made by Ji Daogong.

Ji Heng is not stupid. Seeing that Lord Ji wants to offer his loyalty in front of the emperor so much and let him know his merits, then at least two things have been explained. The first one is that the emperor is really good. Lord Ji is very optimistic that the emperor can The emperor is getting old and will be in charge soon. If you don’t make more contributions at this time, you may not have such a good opportunity in the future. They have already chosen which side to fall on, and there are probably many people who have turned to the emperor.Moreover, the credits of these people have probably been heard by the heavens, and the emperor has seen it and is grateful. For Mr. Ji, it is a competition for strength, and he has to worry that he will be forgotten by the emperor. .So I hope Ji Heng can reveal in front of the emperor that he is constantly devoting himself to him.

As an official, it is very important to have the ability and to make substantial performance, and it is also important to let the people above know that you have done something.

What did Ji Heng not understand?

As Ji Heng thought so, he had already walked back to the main room.

Mrs. Xu usually takes care of all kinds of things at home and on the farm in the morning, and when Ji Heng comes back from school in the afternoon, there are very few mothers who are in charge outside of Mrs. Xu's main courtyard, and it happens to be quiet.

Ji Heng entered the main room, just in time to hear Xu and Zhang Xu talking in the next room, "Let's stay and have dinner before leaving."

But Zhang Xu said, "Mother keeps my son here, I dare not refuse, but I still want to go to the front yard to talk to Lord Taishan about the matter. I can only appreciate my mother's kindness. Next time my son will come to visit my mother." .”

Mrs. Xu sighed, "We live close together. The elder sister is married and rarely comes back to her mother's house, and you seldom come to see her."

Zhang Xu hurriedly confessed, "I'm busy with schoolwork, and Qingwan is helping out at home. When I get home, I must tell Qingwan about it, and let her go home to visit your mother more often."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "You are still busy talking to the master, so go."

Zhang Xu hurriedly resigned, Ji Heng had already come to the next room, and after meeting Zhang Xu, he said, "Father is free at the place, you haven't left yet, go quickly."

Zhang Xu smiled and said a few words to him, then left quickly.

Ji Heng could tell that Zhang Xu was not very close to Mrs. Xu. Although Mrs. Xu was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu was not the biological mother of the eldest sister, Ji Qingwan. The close relationship is the reason why the eldest sister seldom returns to her natal home. Of course, the Xu family is not very concerned about these concubine daughters, and it is also the main reason why she rarely invites the eldest sister back.

Seeing Ji Heng coming in, Mrs. Xu got up from the chair, came over and grabbed him, and asked, "What did your father tell you to do? Are you hungry? Let's have dinner, let's start eating."

Ji Heng said, "It's nothing, my father just cares about me."

Mrs. Xu is very sensitive to these things now, because Brother Ying was born, Master Ji is not as good to Ji Heng as before.

Xu said, "He hasn't come to my place for a long time, I'm afraid he will forget you too."

Ji Heng quickly comforted her and said, "Recently, there are many things in the court, and my father is busy. He knows how hard you are, mother."

Xu smiled and said, "I'm sure he's busy, but I also know that he often runs to the east courtyard."

The Sixth Concubine lives in the East Side Courtyard, and Mrs. Xu does not care about Mrs. Ji's love between husband and wife, but in the past when Mrs. Ji didn't favor anyone, she didn't have any pimples in her heart. Now that Mrs. Ji dotes on Mrs. Six, she wants to say It's impossible if she doesn't have some pimples in her heart.

Ji Heng is a man, he knows how to deal with other things, but he really doesn't know what to do when women care about doting.

There is a saying that does not hurt without love, which is quite true.

Ji Heng loves Mrs. Xu very much, but Master Ji's thoughts are not on Mrs. Xu, so he has no choice. Compared with letting Mrs. Ji come to Mrs. Xu to give her hope from time to time, after seeing Mrs. Ji clearly, Ji Heng, Now that I understand better, it might be better to let Mrs. Xu not have any hope for Mr. Ji.

So he had to change the subject and said, "Mother, I'm hungry, let's have dinner quickly."

Then, he looked at the door again and asked, "Where is my cousin?"

Only then did Xu think of Xu Qilang, and said, "He even came to ask you after school, and when he knew you went to the front yard, he ran away and disappeared."

As she said that, she asked the servant girl to find Xu Qilang, and asked her to set up a meal.

Xu Qilang didn't let anyone look for him, he appeared soon, with something in his hand, he happily rushed into the main landlord's second room, "Brother Heng, Brother Heng, I have something for you."

Ji Heng looked at him helplessly, "What else?"

Xu Qilang held the things in his hands in front of Ji Heng, "Look, does it look good?"

Rao Ji Heng, who had seen many rare things, had to show surprise at the things in Xu Qilang's hands at this time, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Xu Qilang said, "Father sent someone to send it. It's beautiful, I made it specially for you."

What Xu Qilang held in his hand was a small decahedron lamp made of colored glass. The lamp was divided into two layers, the inner layer was made of smooth five-color glass, and the outer layer was fired into various hollow patterns with clear colors. The colored glaze on the top is in the shape of brackets and upturned eaves, which can be opened directly. The inside of the lamp is not a candle, but a firefly. When there was light in the room, Xu Qilang covered the light with his hand, but the light of the firefly inside was still very bright. It wasn't obvious, so Xu Qilang dragged Ji Heng into the yard, and Ji Heng asked, "Where did this firefly come from?"

Xu Qilang took Ji Heng to a dark corner to see the light of fireflies, and replied, "It's by the river, I just ran out to catch them."

Ji Heng thought, this is indeed the season to catch fireflies.

"If you run around without telling your mother, what if something happens to you?"

Xu Qilang laughed, and said, "I brought a few people with me, nothing will happen."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned into Ji Heng's ear and said softly, "Do you know who I saw just now?"

Ji Heng was very uncomfortable being breathed in his ears, so he hurriedly moved away from him, "Who do you see? You're going to play tricks again, so I won't listen."

Xu Qilang hurriedly said, "No tricks, no tricks. I saw the old Zhao family son. We met a few times, but he doesn't remember me."

Ji Heng was stunned, "How did you meet him? Where did you meet him?"

Xu Qilang said, "I just went to catch fireflies by the river, and I saw him at the Xiaohe Bridge. I can't be wrong."

Ji Heng pondered for a while. He has been in the capital for three years, and he still doesn't know much about the topography of the capital. He asked, "Where is Xiaohe Bridge?"

Xu Qilang said with a smile, "After crossing the Xiaohe Bridge, go east and you will find Xiaohe Lane, where there are several good restaurants and trick shops. The most famous opera troupe in Beijing, Lingfeng Troupe, is there. It is said that The pillar of the Lingfeng Squad, the Tsing Yi Little Fairy, looks like a celestial being, unrivaled."

When Ji Heng heard it, he gave Xu Qilang a blank look, "You know these things very well."

What else Xu Qilang wanted to say, Xu Shi was already calling for someone, "Hurry up and eat."

Brother Heng dragged Xu Qilang into the house. Xu Qilang put the firefly lamp beside Ji Heng. After dinner, Ji Heng stared at the yard with the lamp for a while, then turned on the light He put the fireflies on the lid, sat on the porch and watched the fireflies fly away, and his thoughts also flew left and right. I remember the first time I saw Zhao Zhili, it was at the west gate, what kind of Zhao Zhili was at that time? Flying and domineering, the current him has long lost the sharpness he had back then.

Time always flies by quickly, and it can change too much.

Xu Qilang ran out after finishing dinner and saw that the fireflies had been let go by Ji Heng. He couldn't help feeling very sorry, "I've been catching them for more than half an hour."

Ji Heng said, "It's good if you have the heart. You don't want to do this kind of thing again. You'd better not go to Xiaohe Lane."

Xu Qilang laughed and said, "I know."

Ji Heng thought to himself that he must just know and won't keep these things in his heart.
