Chapter 132: Duplicity

The day after Xiao Qiheng's legs healed, Emperor Yuan ordered him to resume the upper dynasty. On that day, the Eastern Palace received numerous gifts from all parties. Brocade boxes containing rare treasures and medicinal materials occupied two large tables.

After a long absence, Xiao Qiheng stood up to the court again, Xiao Qiheng did not have the slightest timidity. Regarding the Yuan Emperor asked him to analyze the affairs of the ministers, he talked eloquently, and he must have the right words, and gave many targeted suggestions to obtain the ministers. Unanimously praised.

The Emperor Yuan was also very satisfied with his performance. The court praised him several times and handed him all important matters of receiving visiting envoys from other countries.

Xiao Qiyun, who was recuperating in the palace due to injury, learned of the incident and was so angry that he smashed everything that could be smashed in the room. The people who served in the room that day were even more condemned to death by his rod.

Half a month later, a corruption case broke out in Jizhou. The amount was shocking. It involved not only several important officials in the DPRK, but also the princes in the palace, such as the sixth prince Xiao Qiyun.

Jizhou is located in a desolate area and has been suffering from disasters in recent years. The imperial court provided disaster relief year after year, and the memorials reported by local government and disaster relief officials each year stated that the disaster was under control.

However, in the corruption case that broke out this time, almost all of the money from the court's disaster relief efforts in the past two years has been in the pockets of the officials on the list.

There were many officials involved in this corruption case. Yuan Emperor Longyan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case. The officials involved were put in prison for trial and waited for the release! Because there were two officials carried by Prime Minister Wang in his hand, even Prime Minister Wang was suspended from his residence, waiting for the matter to be investigated.

"Kang Dang!"

The delicate tea cup smashed on the ground and broke into several pieces, and the tea was scattered all over the ground.

The court ladies and eunuchs who were serving in the palace knelt down. Grandpa Chen made a gesture to let people come forward to clean up, and then whispered in comfort: "The emperor calms down and don't hurt the dragon's body."

"Quite the anger?!" The Emperor Yuan was full of anger, and swept away the papers on his hand. "What are the things that these banquets do?! When things are clear, I chopped off their heads!"

At this time, a foreign servant went inside to pass on, saying that Concubine Xuan had come to see him and was waiting outside the palace at this time.

After hearing this, Chen Gonggong breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Emperor Yuan: "The emperor, Empress Xuan, Concubine Xuan is here."

Concubine Xuan was already five months pregnant at this time, and the Emperor Yuan took great care of her. Naturally, she would not be angry on her, nor would she let her go in vain. She curbed her anger and waved her hand to Duke Chen.

Gong Gong Chen understood and made people clean up the memorials on the ground. He walked quickly to the outside of the hall, invited Concubine Xuan in, and waved to let the others go down.

"The emperor." Concubine Xuan walked to the Yuan Emperor with the help of the court maid, and gave a slight blessing. "The concubine please greet the emperor."

"Ai Concubine, quickly avoid the ceremony." Yuan Emperor walked off the table quickly, took her hand to the side and sat down, "You are pregnant, how can you still run over."

Concubine Xuan said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the emperor's appetite was not very good these past few days, so he specially simmered some appetizing orange peel and sake soup to give the emperor an appetizer."

Speaking of raising her hand to let the maid waiting by the side bring the food box up, Grandpa Chen wanted to take it, but she waved her hand, took the things out by herself, put them in front of the Yuan Emperor, and said warmly: "The emperor has a taste."

Her craftsmanship was excellent, and the things she delivered each time were very suitable for Emperor Yuan's appetite. The clear soup with the aroma of sake in the acid made people smell and even the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.

After drinking a glass, Emperor Yuan's expression relaxed a little, patted her hand, and exhorted: "In the future, let the subordinates do these things, so don't tire yourself."

"The people below can't control the heat, and I'm afraid that the emperor will not be used to drinking it." Concubine Xuan said, glanced at the folds in the case, and showed concern. "The emperor has always been worried about the affairs of the country these days. Take care of your dragon body."

Speaking of this, the Emperor Yuan again thought of the troubles, and snorted: "I really gave birth to a group of good sons, and even the silver for the disaster relief dared to touch me. Now all the people in Jizhou and the whole world are scolding me for being faint! It's just a bastard! thing!"

"Don't say that, the emperor. Over the years, under your governance, peace in the world is something that everyone knows." Concubine Xuan comforted. There are things you can't take care of, it's not your fault, don't let the dragon body get angry."

Under her persuasion, Emperor Yuan's anger faded a little, but he still said: "There is no one that makes me worry!"

"How come? The concubine heard that the prince was hosting foreign envoys this time, so she did very well, and the envoy was very satisfied. He praised my courtesy for several weeks, and praised the prince for his youthfulness." Guifei Xuan said. .

Speaking of hosting foreign envoys, Emperor Yuan was also very satisfied, nodded and said: "This is true, that is, Qiheng, let me rest assured."

"All the emperor taught well." Concubine Xuan said with a smile.

Her words both praised His Royal Highness and attributed the credit to the Yuan Emperor. It was really pleasant to hear. When Chen Gonggong saw the Yuan Emperor's expression stretched a lot, he was relieved.

Concubine Xuan left after waiting for a while. After she left, Emperor Yuan pondered for a while and drafted an imperial decree to make Xiao Qiheng responsible for this year's Jizhou disaster relief.

When the imperial decree arrived in the East Palace, Xiao Qiheng was playing chess with Jiang Li. Hearing the call, he put down the chess pieces in his hand and went out to receive the imperial decree.

After reading the imperial decree, Chen Gong just said: "His Royal Highness, accept the decree."

"Erchen takes the decree." Xiao Qiheng respectfully took the decree, stood up, and nodded to Gonggong Chen, "Gonggong Chen has trouble."

This situation is somewhat familiar, and it reminds Grandpa Chen of the last time he went to the Qinghe Temple to declare the decree. In less than two months since that time, Xiao Qiheng is no longer the desolate prince with crippled legs.

Remembering that the other party said that there are still many places to rely on himself in the future, Chen Gonggong thought to himself, I'm afraid it will be the other way around.

"His Royal Highness is polite, this is the duty of a slave." Chen Gonggong smiled, his smile was a bit more sincere than the previous politeness, and he didn't stay too much. After a few words of greeting, he went back and returned to his life.

Xiao Qiheng turned around with the imperial edict, Jiang Li followed behind him, and Xiaolu pulled him: "Brother Jiang, are we going to pack things now?"

Jiang Li was deeply trusted and favored by Xiao Qiheng. It was something everyone in the East Palace knew. Everyone was the only one who followed him, including Xiaoluzi. He had forgotten his meal that year.

"No, you can go ahead." Jiang Li said, in fact, he and Xiao Qiheng's things had already been packed two days ago.

Xiaoluzi let out a "hey" and turned and went down.

On the other side, Xiao Qiyun was ordered to be imprisoned in the palace for being involved in the corruption case. Now that he learned that the disaster relief was handed over to Xiao Qiheng, he was furious and picked up the tea cup at hand and threw it on the head of the **** who came to report: " Get out of here!"

The **** was afraid that he would be angry and wanted to kill people. He didn't care about the bleeding wound on his forehead and rolled out. In a panic, he ran into the seventeenth prince Xiao Qiwen at the door and quickly knelt down to apologize: "The slave has eyes but no beads, His Highness Seventeen is forgiving!"

Xiao Qiwen waved his hand, motioned for him to go down, and walked in: "What's wrong with Six Emperor Brothers? Be so angry? Don't be so angry."

Xiao Qiyun sullenly opened his face: "You still have the face to ask me what's wrong? Do you know that the emperor father has ordered Xiao Qiheng to go to Jizhou for disaster relief?! But I can only keep my feet in this palace!"

"It turned out to be for this." Xiao Qiwen smiled and said indifferently, "I said what a big deal is that makes you so angry."

"It's still a trivial thing?!" Xiao Qiyun patted the table. If it weren't for the injury of his leg, he would definitely step forward and kick Xiao Qiwen to calm down. , Do you even consider it a trivial matter?!"

"Brother Six Emperors, don't be angry, the courtier hasn't finished talking yet." Xiao Qiwen comforted, walked over and closed the door, lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness's trip, isn't this an opportunity for us?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qiyun frowned.

Xiao Qiwen said: "The journey from Kyoto to Jizhou is far away. If something happens accidentally..."

When he said this, he stopped, looked at Xiao Qiyun, raised his hand and stroked gently on his neck, and made a gesture.

Xiao Qiyun came over knowingly, his face turned from cloudy to clear, and touched his chin with a sneer, as if he had seen the appearance of Xiao Qiheng's head in a different place: "Xiao Qiheng, I want to see how good you are."

"So, did the courtier go to make arrangements?" Xiao Qiwen said.

"Go." Xiao Qiyun's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Be sure to let him go and never return."

"Naturally." Xiao Qiwen nodded, and when he turned around, a mocking smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and he silently cursed "idiot" and left briskly.

at night.

Xiao Qiheng opened the letter sent by Zhao Qing, sneered after reading it, and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took a look and sighed: "If you don't do it, you won't die."

"What?" Xiao Qiheng looked at him unclearly, and he found that Jiang Li often inadvertently said some new terms he hadn't heard.

"It means to describe rushing to die." Jiang Li explained.

Xiao Qiheng asked: "Is it the slang of your hometown again?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded and said with a smile, "We still have a lot of sayings, such as cheating, envy, jealousy and hate."

Xiao Qiheng looked at the smile on his face with a trace of nostalgia, stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms and sat down, and said, "Do you miss your hometown? When we finish this work, let's go back and have a look."

"Huh?" Jiang Li didn't expect him to say that, looking up at him, "Go back?"

"Yeah." Xiao Qiheng lowered his head and kissed the tip of his nose, "I also want to see where you were born, and I want to give your parents incense."

I want to see the place where you were born, I want to give your parents incense.

His words made Jiang Li a little lost, thinking of his own things in the real world.

I died in an accident. I don't know what happened to the agent, who helped to deal with my body after death, and whether it was buried by his parents.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qiheng noticed his emotional changes and asked aloud, "Don't you want to go back?"

"No." Jiang Li shook his head and sighed, "I think."

If possible, I would also like to take you back to see where I was born, and I would like to take you to put incense on my parents.

If you can.
