Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

After staying in Guimo City for a few more days, Xie Anshuang and Xing Wenshu finally chose to continue their journey to the capital on August 26.

The injuries on both of them were not fully healed, and according to Xing Wenshu's original plan, they did not plan to let Xie Anshuang show up in the capital until Yuangui's forces were brought down by Ye Zihe and Xing Xuyi.

So they didn't walk fast along the way, they stopped and stopped, and occasionally when they encountered a town that had a lively festival recently, they would stop specially and so on.

Originally, the distance that Xing Wenshu could reach in seven days, was abruptly extended to more than one month by them.

Before arriving in the capital, Xing Wenshu told Xie Anshuang about their plan in detail.

If Xie Anshuang still intends to continue to be the emperor, then Ye Zi and Ru Nian will first thoroughly investigate what happened back then, and hand it over to Dali Qing Qin Lida to make it public and deal with the Yuangui forces.

Due to Xie Anshuang's unreasonable protection and promotion of Yuangui's officials several times before, many officials in the court could see that Yuangui controlled the real power behind his back.

Then when Yuangui's forces were dealt with, it was the best moment for Xie Anshuang to return as the real power holder.

Xie Anshuang made the final execution of Yuangui and Yuangui's forces, and combined with the current situation of the court that he and Ye Zihe had observed over the years, he carried out a formal cleansing of the court, cleared the chaotic officials and thieves, and reorganized the court.

As for what he did before, it can naturally be classified as a play co-starred by Yu Zihe and Xing Fu. The purpose is to keep a low profile and eradicate the biggest cancer in the Northern Dynasty.

After Yuangui's forces were officially eliminated, Ye Zihe, who was not in the court at all, would voluntarily resign from the position of prime minister and return this position to Xing Wenshu, who would continue to assist Xie Anshuang as prime minister.

When Xing Wenshu talked about this plan, the sky had just turned pale, and both of them were still lying on the bed in the inn.

After listening to his hoarse voice, Xie Anshuang raised his head to meet his gaze, and asked again: "Then what if I don't want to be emperor?"

"Then change the plan."

Xing Wenshu lightly kissed him on the forehead, and continued: "I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but if you really don't want to be emperor, I can accompany you to find a new candidate first."

But even if a new candidate is found, the final outcome may be Ye Zi who has no intention of going to court and is forced to stay in the position of prime minister, while the talented Xing Wenshu will be submerged in the long river of history with him from then on.

Xie An lowered his eyelashes, not wanting to see such a situation.

Not wanting to be an emperor is just his own selfish desire, but it involves more unknowns, as well as the future lives of people around him.

This is not the result he wants now.

Sensing Xie Anshuang's sudden depression, Xing Wenshu rubbed his head and asked, "What's the matter? Why does it feel like your majesty is suddenly unhappy."

Xie Anshuang shook his head, did not express his true thoughts, but said: "It's nothing, I just remembered a poem, 'Once the sea was too difficult for water, except Wushan is not a cloud'."

Xing Wenshu understood what he meant, and chuckled lightly: "Then should I be honored to be the sea and the sea of ​​clouds in Wushan in your Majesty's heart?"

Xie Anshuang nodded without humility: "Well, you should be quite honored."

After this month of getting along intimately, Xie Anshuang has completely gotten used to Xing Wenshu's true temperament in private, and she has gradually become more and more open.

Xing Wenshu also prefers the state where he can say whatever he wants. With his right hand down, he caressed his earlobe and said, "But if you want to change the plan, the first step is to find the right candidate?"

Feeling the cool touch on the tips of his ears, Xie Anshuang leaned in Xing Wenshu's direction again, and then replied in a low voice: "So now I think, in fact, it's not impossible for me to continue to be the emperor."

The touch in the ear suddenly stopped, but Xing Wenshu didn't say anything at this moment.

Xie Anshuang didn't look up at him, and continued to whisper: "Anyway...you all have plans to whitewash me and Zihe brother, so don't let such a good opportunity go in vain."

It's just that the tone of his speech was a little weak, and he didn't seem to have any confidence.

Xing Wenshu was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and asked, "Is your majesty sure you have thought it through?"

Xie Anshuang secretly took a deep breath, finally got up the courage to look up, met Xing Wenshu's deep gaze, and nodded slightly: "I think clearly."

Rather than letting so many people accompany him to bear the uncertainty of changing the dynasty, he would rather continue to be the emperor himself.

Since Zuo Zuo ascended the throne, he has never had the opportunity to act completely according to his own ideas. Perhaps being an emperor is not as bad as he thought.

After all...he still wants to realize the unfinished vision of his brother, brother and father.

Seeing the sudden extra determination in his eyes, Xing Wenshu smiled slightly, and asked again: "Then if His Majesty chooses to continue to be emperor, there is also a problem that needs to be resolved."

Xie Anshuang knew that he was asking about the crown prince.

If he wants to continue to be emperor, then it is impossible for him not to have a next heir.

Xie Anshuang pursed his lower lip lightly, and replied: "I plan to take Xiao Ru back to the palace at that time, and I will ask Xiao Ru what she wants when she grows up. If Xiao Ru doesn't want to..."

He paused, and his voice became softer again: "The royal family still has so many offshoots, and they can always find suitable children to adopt and cultivate."

Inside and outside the words, there is no plan to accept another concubine and have children.

Xing Wenshu looked at him quietly for a long time, then sighed softly after a while, and hugged him into his arms: "Actually, your majesty can ignore me. Your majesty is the emperor, even if you don't want to, the officials will remind you sooner or later.

"Whether it's waiting for Xiaoru to grow up, or another adoption, at least there are still more than ten years, and the persuasion in these ten years will only be more or less."

His voice was a bit ethereal when he spoke, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to Xie Anshuang or to himself.

Xie Anshuang heard the emotion in his words, huddled in his arms to find a comfortable position, and said sullenly: "Then you are still with me."

"I don't want anyone else, just you."

Listening to his straightforward and frank confession, Xing Wenshu couldn't help but put a soft and precious kiss on the tip of his hair again, and the smile was immersed in his voice again: "I only give Your Majesty this chance today. If Your Majesty doesn't want This time, if His Majesty spends more time with flowers and grass after that day, I won't be so magnanimous."

Xie Anshuang felt the tenderness at the tip of her hair, shrunk back into his arms, and muttered, "It's enough to have a delicate flower that is afraid of the cold, the pain, and the pain. I can't afford any more."

As he said that, he raised his head again and continued: "Reciprocity is a courtesy, if you attract bees and butterflies, I will not be a kind person."

Xing Wenshu rubbed his head: "Your Majesty can rest assured, my delicate flower only needs to serve my little Majesty a little butterfly, and I won't have the energy to do any more."

Xie Anshuang looked at him, and after a while, they laughed together.

The biggest barrier that originally stood between them dissipated in just two light sentences.

Even if the future is still long and unknown, they still have the greatest trust in each other.

What they want is nothing more than a single concern.

The two were stuck together on the bed for a while, until Xie Anshuang's stomach was growling and he was finally willing to get up.

Xie Xiaodie enjoyed Xing Wenshu's daily service, and then sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Xing Wenshu to clean up by himself, then went downstairs to have breakfast hand in hand.

It was still early now, and there were not many people in the inn, so Xing Wenshu simply borrowed a dining room for breakfast.

After more than half a year, Xing Wenshu, a gentleman who used to be a distant chef, has been able to skillfully cook a delicious breakfast.

After the meal, Xie Anshuang was satisfied and praised sincerely: "Ah Shen's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Xing Wenshu bent his eyes and smiled: "As long as An An likes it."

Xiao Er, who came to collect the bowls, heard their conversation and asked with a smile: "Are the two young masters partners? The relationship is really good."

In the Northern Dynasties, masculinity was not prevalent, but there was also a case of a high-ranking official marrying a man's wife before, so the places close to the capital were quite open in this respect.

Xie Anshuang now has a calmer attitude, nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It's all right." Xiao Er was enthusiastic, and when he saw him talking, he continued enthusiastically, "I saw the two guest officials give birth to each other, are they newcomers? There is a famous marriage tree in the south of our place, which is said to bless marriages." It is very effective. If the two guest officers are interested, you can go over there and have a look."

Hearing what he said, Xie Anshuang really became interested. After thanking him, he looked at Xing Wenshu with shining eyes.

Xing Wenshu smiled helplessly: "Okay, An An can follow you wherever she wants to go."

The city they are currently in is only two days away from the capital, and they can stay here until Ye Zi and the letter from there say they can return to Beijing.

Moreover, Xie Anshuang didn't show up often in the capital, and there were very few people in the capital who recognized him, so it's not a bad idea to find a place to hang out here.

After making up their minds, the two immediately got up and left the inn to head towards the Yuyuan tree.

Although there were not many pedestrians on the street at this time, and they didn't know where the exact location was, they didn't have any anxious mood to wander. They held hands and wandered around the street together, looking for a general direction to find the past.

They have plenty of time, but actually enjoy this time of strolling.

Later, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and they were not in a hurry to ask for directions. They walked slowly all the way, and finally saw a huge old tree standing in an open space until almost noon.

"Is this the Yuyuan tree? It's so big."

Xie Anshuang looked at the thick tree trunk in front of him, which could only be encircled by three or four grown men, with surprise in his eyes.

While he was feeling emotional, Xing Wenshu looked around and saw a shop specializing in selling red ribbons and providing pens and inks, and asked him: "There seems to be ribbons for sale over there. Does An An want to write something and tie it on?"

Xie Anshuang shook his head: "No, I just want to come and have a look."

"I'm very greedy, this tree can't carry all my wishes."

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Xing Wenshu, and Xing Wenshu's figure was reflected in his eyes, with a clean and pure smile.

Xing Wenshu heard the voice of his words, held his hand tightly, and asked with a smile: "Then I don't know if I have the honor to help my An An realize all her wishes?"

"Of course." Xie An squinted his eyes, "All my wishes are related to you, and only you can fulfill them."

Xing Wenshu met the smile in Xie An's eyes and his exclusive figure, turned slightly, and kissed Xie Anshuang's lips under the fateful tree.

Xie An hugged his neck generously and gave the most sincere response.

Beside them, the ancient trees were covered with red ribbons, which swayed slowly in the midday breeze, echoing the purest and warmest wishes of countless lovers.

The warm sun in late autumn shines through the gaps in the leaves, falling on the beautiful vision of the lovers, and even more on the two people kissing under the tree.
