〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

At four o'clock, the entire palace was brightened up.All the maids and servants started their duties for a new day by holding on to a bright light.

Because today is going to be on a southern tour, Emperor Qing moved the early dynasty from the fifth watch to the fourth watch.

After explaining the matter, Emperor Qing said: "Do you still have the play?"

Although Emperor Qing said this to the officials, what he saw was the prime minister standing in the front, Xiao Zixian.

Xiao Zixian was neither surprised nor happy, just clinging to the elephant-bone wat board, quietly waiting for the officials to express their opinions.

The old ministers standing behind were all discussing in low voices. They originally disapproved of Emperor Qing taking Xiao Zixian on a tour to the south, but they did not dare to say it easily due to Shengwei. Now the emperor asked them to say it. It's time to say it.

After a while, one of them stood up boldly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Qingdi narrowed his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

The old minister said solemnly: "The emperor's subdued southern tour, no one in the court to support the overall situation, so I implore the emperor to keep the prime minister, so that I can have someone who can obey orders."

Xiao Zixian couldn't help but want to laugh, what kind of trouble do these veteran heroes want to make?How can I have the ability to command them?

Emperor Qing said: "I have almost arranged the big and small things in the past two months. What orders do you want to listen to?"

"This……"

Qingdi's speed of handling political affairs really surprised them. The old officials just refused to accept that Qingdi brought a foreign prime minister on a southern tour, so they didn't want to listen to any orders.At this moment, everyone was so swallowed that they couldn't tell why.

"There is no need to discuss the matter of the tour. I will set off today. If you still have the book in the next two months, you can put the notebook in the study of the South Palace, and I will receive it. Are you satisfied with how I handle it?"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they all bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "The emperor is wise."

Emperor Qing glanced at Xiao Zixian and said, "Then let's go!"

After Emperor Qing left, the standing ministers also dispersed one by one. The minister who expressed his opinion just now had a dark face, looking very unhappy.

This old minister was Yang Zhi, who had followed the late emperor for many years. Although he had no merits, he had worked hard, but his thinking was very conservative, and everything had to be done according to the legacy of the ancients.

The same is true of his two good friends, She Kai and Lu Gui.

These three veteran heroes are a bit arrogant in court, relying on their own long-term official positions, they often scold the younger generation for their many opinions and dissatisfaction with their words and deeds.Since they had no intention of returning with the crown, it was not easy for Qing Emperor to force them to resign.

The three old ministers have a very good friendship on weekdays, so they also vent their anger through one nostril.

The older She Kai whispered: "Brother, I told you not to worry too much. It's not like you don't know that Xiao Zixian. It's been five years. The emperor has been confiding in him. No matter how much we talk It's not worth a look from him."

Lu Gui became dissatisfied: "That's right, we old ministers followed the late emperor to rule the world when we were young, and we don't have the good fortune to travel south with the emperor!"

"Hmph!" Yang Zhi glared at Xiao Zixian who was not far away, "I'll see how long he can show off his might!"

She Kai sighed and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Hey, who asked someone to have a face similar to the former princess? Can the emperor not spoil him? We think it's unfair and useless."

Xiao Zixian, who was not far away, didn't care about their gazes, but walked straight to the South Hall.

As a foreigner, since ancient times, there has never been someone who has succeeded in the Han court like Xiao Zixian.But the position of Prime Minister, he didn't sit smoothly at the beginning, needless to say, being excluded, almost every day he went to the court, and the secret frame was also indispensable. Fortunately, he had overcome all the difficulties one by one, On the other hand, he has indeed made a lot of achievements and has the protection of Emperor Qing. Even today, those ministers dare to be angry with him and dare not speak uprightly.

Eunuch Chen walked up to Lu Gui and the others and bowed to salute, "The three lords are polite, the emperor has something to tell the three lords."

The three of them glanced at each other and said, "Please tell me, father-in-law."

"The emperor ordered that the three of Lu Qing are dedicated to their work and patriotism, and have the world in their hearts. Hereby, I would like to order the three ministers to be stationed in the South Palace, so as to fulfill my will from time to time!"

The three veterans were very relieved to hear the first half, and said that the emperor finally saw their side for the country and the people, but the second half made them all turn pale.Stationed in the South Hall?Isn't this asking them to guard the door?From time to time?That is to say, doesn't the emperor have orders to give every day?Wouldn't they have to guard the door for two full months? !

After conveying it, Eunuch Chen asked, "Did the three adults understand?"

"not understand!"

Yang Zhi couldn't hold his breath anymore: "What is the emperor's intention? After all, we are also veterans and heroes, why do you want us to guard the gate?!"

"Where did Lord Yang say that? The three adults are the talents of the country, and only the three adults can be blessed to accept the will. Do you think other ministers have it?"

That being said, there is no need to guard the gate!Isn't that embarrassing?

The three veterans hesitated, unable to tell what expression they had on their faces.

Chen Gonggong said: "If the three adults are fine, then the servant will leave first."

Now that the emperor has given such an order, is there any reason for the courtiers to disobey?No matter how wronged he is, he can only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood!

……

Prince Su Ye also got up early, and at the moment he was teasing Qing Ling in the south hall, waiting for his father and teacher to come down.

Qingling is a bird that protects the master very much, and usually follows Xiao Zixian almost every step of the way, but because the master is going to the morning court, it stays in the room obediently waiting for the master to come back during that time.And when Su Ye ran in to tease it, it was happy to get close to this little baby.

The door creaked and was pushed open. Su Ye looked up and saw Father and Teacher coming in together, and hurried over: "Father, Teacher, can we go now?"

Xiao Zixian bent down and picked him up, and said with a smile, "Has the prince eaten breakfast?"

Su Ye nodded: "I've already eaten."

Emperor Qing said: "Then let's go!"

Qingling quickly flew to Xiao Zixian's shoulder, afraid that someone who didn't pay attention to his master would ignore him again.

Outside the palace, a carriage was parked there.

Two young men who looked somewhat similar were sitting in the driver's seat.

They are two of the Qing Emperor's shadow guards, and they can be said to be relatively close shadow guards.The resolute one is called Ye Yi, and the handsome and handsome one beside him is his younger brother Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang turned his head to look into the palace, and said, "Why hasn't the emperor come out yet? How long have we been waiting here?"

Ye Yi was much more patient than his younger brother, and said, "I just waited for two hours."

"It's not long yet? If I knew it, I would have stayed in bed and slept a little longer."

Ye Yi patted his younger brother's head: "If you want to sleep, just lie down for a while, and I will call you when the emperor comes out later."

Ye Shuang shook her head: "I don't. The sky is bright and bright, and my eyes are shining. How can I sleep? Sleep well, you have to sleep well at night."

Ye Yi had nothing to do with him, so he just let him go.

When Emperor Qing came out, it was already half an hour later.

Su Ye was the first to run into the carriage.

Seeing that Xiao Zixian didn't move up, Emperor Qing asked, "Why don't you go up?"

"Your Majesty, do you want my minister to ride with you?"

Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows: "Why not? You are still Ye'er's wife outside, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

Xiao Zixian thought about it, but it was not right, so he said: "Chen, I'd better find another carriage."

Emperor Qing stopped him: "If you think the carriage is too crowded, then just get another one."

"..."

How could this person understand so much?

Su Ye opened the window and said with a smile, "Teacher, it's very spacious inside, so it's not crowded."

Seeing this helplessness, Xiao Zixian had no choice but to obediently get in the car.

Ye Shuang exchanged glances with his brother - this prime minister is still so dawdling!

Ye Yi said to him—don't be too fussy, drive carefully.

Ye Shuang stuck out her tongue, holding the whip in both hands.

After a while, the carriage drove slowly along the official road.

It was only then that Xiao Zixian realized that the carriage was indeed very spacious, except for three people and a fine white blanket, there was nothing else.

Of course, Qingling can be ignored, after all, it does not occupy any land at all.

Xiao Zixian asked: "Your Majesty, where are some dry food and clothes that I packed?"

Qingdi said frankly: "I sent it back to your room."

"Send it back? Why?"

He remembered that although the clothes he had packed were not brocade clothes and expensive silk, they were not shabby, so what would he wear in the future after sending them back?

Emperor Qing replied: "It's not fresh."

"..."

Xiao Zixian was speechless, thinking that this has nothing to do with novelty at all!Don't you always bring dry food and clothes when you go out?

"We are taking the official road. If we need something, we can buy it along the way. Why do we need to bring our own?"

Ye Shuang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this, the so-called local tyrants are talking about people like the master, right?

Xiao Zixian pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Qingdi supported his head with his hands, looking at him lazily.

Xiao Zixian straightened his expression, and then asked: "What does the emperor want to say to the minister?"

"I just want to remind Master that it's time to change my address. What is my last name? Master, do you still remember?"

Xiao Zixian was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Keep it in my heart, I will never forget it."

Emperor Qing nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Su Ye couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, where should we go first?"

Although he is young, he is smart, so of course he knows that he wants to call his father daddy outside.

"A bright place in the south of the Yangtze River, the ancient city of Hangzhou."

Ye Shuang outside was startled when he heard this, and glanced at his brother.

Hangzhou is the hometown of Ye Yi and the two brothers, but it is also the place that the two brothers do not want to go to.It's just that the sacred order is difficult, and Ye Yi dare not disobey it.

Ye Shuang nudged his brother—why didn't you tell me beforehand?

Ye Yi shrugged - you didn't ask.

So Ye Shuang's face darkened all the way because of his brother's words.

Although Xiao Zixian had never been to Hangzhou, he had heard of Hangzhou's outstanding people, beautiful mountains and rivers, so this time he went, he could see the beauty of the water town in the Qing Dynasty.

Su Ye has read many ancient poems, and the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River can also be read in the poems.This time he can go to watch it in person, he is very happy.

Even seeing them, Su Jiu showed anticipation and joy, but she was relieved that she had chosen the right place.

Probably because of the lack of sleep in the past two days, Su Jiulian couldn't help being tired and fell asleep.

Su Ye watched his father fall asleep, but he didn't want to wake him up, so he calmed down.But this kid didn't get up so early, and after the excitement passed, he hugged the teacher's arm and went to find Zhou Gong in his dream.

The carriage was very quiet, only Xiao Zixian was awake.

He looked at the sleeping Qing Emperor, even if this man was not wrapped in a yellow robe, his noble and arrogant aura would not disappear.

The word temperament is exuded from the bones, and nothing can be erased.

Xiao Zixian withdrew his gaze, but memories flooded his mind.

Su Jiulian.

He is the lord of the Qing Dynasty, the king of the people, and also the Qing Emperor in front of him.

Xiao Zixian would never forget this name no matter what.

Lifting the curtains gently, the scenery outside the window changed accordingly.

Another warm spring day.
