Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

This day is a holiday, but as an emperor, he is not qualified to sleep late.

But fortunately, Xiao Xuan's schedule is relatively regular, otherwise, I'm afraid that Xiao Xuexing will be stuck in bed today.

When he heard that Xiao Xuexing was coming, Xiao Xuan took a deep breath.

During this period of time, the court seemed to be calm, but in fact, the emperor's line and the regent's line were secretly competing. This kind of rivalry was not the kind of hostility, but a more relaxed relationship, but they refused to let the other side overwhelm them. that feeling.

Xiao Xuan has been the emperor for six years, and he thinks he has figured out the court, and there are many people under him, so he should not be restrained by Xiao Xuexing again. If Xiao Xuexing doesn't hold on this time, maybe there will be one less regent in the court .

It turns out that the Prince Regent who has been silent all these years is actually just a sleeping beast. Before Xiao Xuan felt that the decree was smooth because Xiao Xuexing ignored it, but now that he is serious, Xiao Xuan began to feel the decree. Not working well.

The most obvious thing is that his will is not very important, and sometimes he can't even get out of the palace gate.

Xiao Xuan didn't understand that when Xiao Xuexing led his troops into Jiankang, he did bloodbath the entire court.

It's just that he was not the only one who entered Beijing at that time, there was Xiao Yan beside him, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuexing were fighting against each other at that time.

Xiao Xuexing managed to control half of the important positions in the court. For so many years, Xiao Xuan has been switching those people and replacing them, installing people he trusts more. These people should be royalists.

At a glance, all the important positions were under Xiao Xuan's control, but this time, he found that the young talent he was optimistic about could not last a few rounds in Xiao Xuexing's hands.

Even the attitude of some ministers in the court has become very ambiguous, not to mention Chaihe, whose son is still the prime minister of Jinling.

Well, because of Chai Shuren's ability to handle affairs, Xiao Zirong directly promoted him to be the Prime Minister of Jinling. It seems that he has a bright future. It is normal for Chai He not to want something to happen to the King of Jinling.

But why did Xiao Yan prefer Xiao Xuexing?Have all the previous grudges really been let go?

Xiao Xuan felt that the originally clear court seemed to become foggy again.

And at this time, Xiao Xuexing's request to see him made him feel relieved, no matter what, there will always be a result today.

When Xiao Xue walked in, Xiao Xuan looked at the other party with complicated eyes and saluted, then sighed slightly and said, "I underestimated you."

Xiao Xuexing remained calm: "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Xiao Xuan waved his hand: "There is no need to talk about those things, I will not agree with Rong'er's matter."

This was a difficult decision that Xiao Xuan made after thinking about it. He knew that the best way was to ignore the matter between Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuexing, so that he and Xiao Xuexing could continue to maintain a balance.

But Xiao Xuan still has some stubbornness in his bones, maybe he is not suitable to be an emperor by nature, so he will not coldly calculate to do so to maintain his throne.

Now he just feels that Xiao Zirong cannot be allowed to go astray. In fact, if Xiao Zirong simply likes men, Xiao Xuan may not take care of her, but Xiao Xue can do it.

Similarly, it is okay to like a man, but not to marry a wife.

This is his bottom line, and now he must stick to it.

Not to mention how to explain to his father and elder brother a hundred years later, even if he treats Xiao Zirong as his son, he can't tolerate the other party being so deviant.

Xiao Xuexing looked up at Xiao Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty has decided?"

Xiao Xuan's back turned cold, and he felt as if he was being watched by a ferocious beast. After a long silence, he still said firmly: "If you treat him sincerely, you shouldn't make him a laughing stock."

Xiao Xuexing chuckled, his usually calm and indifferent eyes instantly became sharp and aggressive, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Since I have made this decision, I can naturally protect him, who dares to say that he is not?"

Looking at his appearance, Xiao Xuan suddenly understood the gap between him and Xiao Xuexing. Compared with Xiao Xuexing, he was still not decisive enough and not ruthless enough, but his personality had both innate and acquired influences, and it was too late to change it now. .

Xiao Xuan looked at him expressionlessly and said: "I have already chosen the princess for Rong'er, she is the daughter of the royal family's first wife."

This was a decision made by Xiao Xuan after much thought. If he could not resist Xiao Xuexing by himself, then he would bring another person over.

It is more than enough for the daughter of the Wang family to be a princess, not to mention that this is the intention of the Wang family to reveal it on their own initiative.

Ever since Xiao Zirong arrived in Jinling and made a fuss, he has become the fast son-in-law in the eyes of many aristocratic families.

Of course, those aristocratic families may still be thinking about whether they can come to Conglong Gong, but this is not what Xiao Xuan needs to consider now.

The Wang family had intentions, he needed the Wang family to fight against Xiao Xuexing, plus the Xie family who had a life-and-death feud with Xiao Xuexing, even Xiao Xuexing would find it difficult to resist.

As for whether Xiao Zirong likes men, the Wang family doesn't care at all. At their level, marriage is more important to whether it can bring a stronger connection between the two families and make the two companies cooperate more closely.

The political significance is above all else. It is best if the husband and wife are like-minded. If not, it doesn't matter even if they respect each other as guests.

As for whether she will be bullied and neglected, the daughter of the Wang family will not be reduced to this level.

Xiao Xuexing raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xuan, with a hint of gloom between his brows and eyes: "This is His Majesty's method?"

Xiao Xuan avoided his eyes and said: "Ru'er is getting older, it's time to get married."

Xiao Xuexing stood up and said, "I'm waiting for the day when His Majesty changes his mind."

After he finished speaking, he still followed the procedure to salute and leave. He couldn't find a single fault from the beginning to the end, and he didn't have the domineering attitude of those powerful officials in his impression.

Looking at his back, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but sighed, knowing that the next step was the key point, maybe he should send a message to the Wang family.

It was only when Xiao Xuexing left the palace that his emotions gradually calmed down.

Just now when he heard that Xiao Xuan wanted Xiao Zirong to marry a wife, one thought in his mind was that he would kill anyone who dared to marry Xiao Zirong.

He knew it was wrong, and he had heard from Xiao Zirong that his mood was abnormal, but he couldn't restrain it.

Originally, after being with Xiao Zirong, he rarely had such violent thoughts, but he did not expect it to happen again now.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Go home."

He thought that maybe he should tell Xiao Zirong about this matter, since he hadn't seen each other for a long time, he began to worry about gains and losses again. Even though he knew that Xiao Zirong was still persisting and didn't plan to back down, he still couldn't restrain his desire to test.

He knows the little lady of the Wang family, she is famous for her talent and appearance, and it is said that her personality is as gentle as water, and she is the object of marriage proposals by many young men from aristocratic families.

Judging from these conditions, it can be called a good match, the Wang family has enough sincerity, and Xiao Xuan did not treat him badly.

So what choice will Xiao Zirong make?

Just like Xiao Zirong's subordinates who want to send news to the Prince Regent's Mansion can always reach it, it is actually not that difficult for Xiao Xuexing to communicate with Xiao Zirong.

Before, he just didn't want to tear his face apart. He knew that Xiao Zirong was very close to this uncle. Even if he was separated, what he wanted at the time was to take him away with him instead of confronting Xiao Xuan head-on.

But now that Xiao Zirong's health is involved, Xiao Xuexing doesn't want to worry too much. After writing a letter to tell Xiao Zirong to eat well and rest well, he used one sentence at the end to briefly mention the fact that he will have a princess. It seems cloudless The wind is light, in fact he is very concerned about it.

When Xiao Zirong received the letter, he raised his head and said to A Yin and A Man after reading the first part: "Have you informed the regent?"

A Yin and A Man shrank their necks together, and nodded cautiously.

Xiao Zirong asked again: "Who else?"

He knew very well that it was impossible to send news to Xiao Xuexing so smoothly only with the abilities of Ayin and Aman. The emperor is not a puppet. On the contrary, Xiao Xuan has cultivated a lot of eyes and ears over the years. Most of the news cannot be delivered.

Ayin and Aman still insisted that it was their own idea, and it seemed that they didn't want to betray their companions. Xiao Zirong said helplessly: "Cai Niang and Yan Niang are also involved? Let me guess who else, um, Xie Lianyun is Didn't you also participate?"

Ayin and Aman didn't speak, but with their expressions, Xiao Zirong knew that he had guessed right.

If it's these three people, it's possible, after all, Xie Lianyun is now the head of the No. [-] spy under him, and it is said that he is still eager to try to join Jiankang'an.

Xiao Zirong still felt happy when he read the previous content. After not seeing each other for such a long time, even if he just saw the other party's words, he felt a little more at ease.

However, when he saw the last line, Xiao Zirong was silent for a while and sighed: "Sure enough, simply waiting and leaving everything to my brother is still not suitable for me."

A Yin and A Man stared at him with wide eyes, and then saw that their Highness treasured the letter very preciously, then sat there thinking for a while, raised his head and said: "Let Jing Shi come to see me."

According to A Yin’s and A Man’s recollections later, the King of Jinling had a conversation with his Jinling Guard Commander in the study all afternoon that afternoon.

Then Xiao Zirong wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Xuexing originally thought that Xiao Zirong would be angry, but he didn't expect that after opening the letter, there was only one sentence on it: I only hope that the king's heart is like mine, and I will never let you down.

Xiao Xuexing intuitively felt that being so peaceful was not like Xiao Zirong's character, so he couldn't help but ask, "How is King Jinling recently?"

The person who came to deliver the letter was one of Xie Lianyun's minions. He half knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said, "The king of Jinling is well these days, but..."

When Xiao Xuexing heard this turning point, he couldn't help raising his heart: "It's just what?"

Xi Zuo whispered, "It's just that the King of Jinling took people out to sea."

Xiao Xuexing:? ? ? ?
