The snow started falling again. Although it was not big, there were only some snowflakes floating on the ground, but it made the already cold weather a little colder. However, for Xiao Wei, who was in the carriage, it was a little bit colder.
The influence of the two charcoal basins with sufficient materials are burning, making the carriage warm as spring. At this time, Xiao Wei was leaning against the brocade mat, looking at the end with a careless look.
Lin Chongming, who was sitting opposite, had a smile on his face, but unfortunately Lin Chongming didn't care about Xiao Wei's "provocation" at all. He looked at Xiao Wei calmly, with his eyes full of joking.
color".
"Forget it, forgot it, Xiao Wang is afraid of you. Brother Lin is so scheming. This time, Xiao Wang is put on another trick by you." After looking at each other for a long time, facing Lin Chongming, who was as firm as a rock,
Xiao Wei was defeated very reluctantly, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed.
"The prince is wrong. Lin is just giving the prince a favorable dog beater. What do you think?" Faced with Xiao Wei's "accusation", Lin Chongming shook his head indifferently and smiled with a smile.
Reply.
"Oh? Hahaha..." When Xiao Wei heard this, he knew that his thoughts could not be hidden from Lin Chongming's calculations. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Okay, Brother Lin, I'm lying to the king.
Go and beat the evil dog. If I am unfortunately bitten by a dog, it is not a joke. Hehe, Brother Lin will not bear to let Xiao Wang be an unjust dead ghost. Now, I should give Xiao Wang an explanation.
stop."[
Listening to Xiao Wei's words like a resentful woman, Lin Chongming immediately rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Lin just went to Sanyuan Restaurant and heard something. As for how to deal with it, the prince
I've done it myself."
"Hehe..." When he saw Lin Chongming, who was always calm and calm, rolled his eyes, Xiao Wei couldn't help but laugh and joked with a smile: "Brother Lin doesn't make me feel bad when I hear this occasionally, but
What kind of world is this to ask Xiao Wang to come forward and be a villain?"
"The prince thought these four sons were like?" Lin Chongming was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Wei's sarcastic words, and smiled and turned around.
"Ha, Brother Lin is trying to test Xiao Wang? Haha, according to Xiao Wang's opinion, these four sons are all talented. However, even if the literary talent of the scholars is a few, their future achievements will be different. Well, that
Shen Qingyi is calm and wise, and should be a prime minister, and he can be the deputy minister of the cabinet; Fang Rui is too fond of reputation, and although he has talent and knowledge, he is difficult to become a great scholar. He has reached the peak of his career as a Shangshu; Ximen Hen is a righteous person
, jealous of evil but not without any loss of flexibility, should be the best candidate for the censor. As for Zhang He, he has too little experience and a little bit cunning. Perhaps being a Hanlin Grand Secretary is a good candidate." Xiao Wei smiled and smiled.
The famous Juzi commented one by one, and even made arrangements for their future indirectly. Their complacent look made Lin Chongming laugh.
"Oh? In the eyes of Prince, who can be the leader of the cabinet minister?" Seeing Xiao Wei performing an emperor-like manner, Lin Chongming rolled his eyes angrily and amusedly, and quickly spoke out
He was embarrassed and said.
"Hey, Brother Lin asked the right person, is the answer? It's very simple. Brother Lin sees who is the person in my eyes." Xiao Wei smiled cunningly and deliberately put his head forward and put his head forward.
, whispered in a mysterious manner.
"..." Lin Chongming didn't expect Xiao Wei to make fun of him. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but a deep feeling came from his heart, just because Lin Chongming knew that Xiao Wei looked like he was
I was joking, but in fact I was telling the truth, and I was moved by Xiao Wei's feelings of knowing each other.
Seeing that Lin Chongming had lost his composure, Xiao Weike was happy. Just as he was thinking of making fun of Lin Chongming again, he heard Ning Nan's report coming from outside the curtain of the car: "Prince, the palace has arrived, old
The prince is already waiting at the palace gate."
When Xiao Wei heard that his father had arrived, he immediately jumped up and didn't care much. He smiled and said to Lin Chongming: "Brother Lin, Xiao Wang will deal with it first, Brother Lin, please go back to the house first.
After the matter is over, Xiao Wang will go to find Brother Lin and discuss it again." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly got off the carriage and saw that his father and two brothers were waiting at the palace gate.
He did not dare to neglect, so he rushed over quickly, bowed, and politely said, "I have met my father, my elder brother, and my second brother."
Today is New Year's Eve. According to the practice of the Tian Family, we should give a banquet to Liangyi Hall. All the important officials of the third rank or above are listed, which is called "Shouqing", but in fact it is a reward for meritorious ministers. It has always been very solemn. All those who are ministers can do it.
It was so proud that Xiao Wei did not take it seriously. The night banquet was about to begin, and it was just late. It was really a waste of time. If he was late, it would be fine, but let King Xiang Xiao
Rui waited in front of Chengtian Gate for a long time. For Xiao Rui, who has always been punctual, the annoyance in his heart can be imagined. When Xiao Wei came forward to pay his respects, Xiao Rui's face was a little 'skin'.
Zi drooped, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped, looking like he was about to attack. Xiao Weixiao was jumping "pulled" and hurriedly turned his gaze to Xiao Feng, the eldest brother who was smiling and standing beside him.
.
"Father, time is coming, and since the third brother has arrived, we should go to the palace first." As soon as he saw Xiao Wei's look as fearful as a tiger, the smile on Xiao Feng's face became stronger and stronger as soon as he saw Xiao Feng's face.
However, he had no intention of seeing Xiao Wei's joke, so he stood up from the side and helped.
"Yes, Father, it's not good to miss the time." As soon as Xiao Feng came forward to expel Xiao Wei, Xiao Ji seemed to hesitate for a moment, but when he reached the end, he still stood up and agreed.
"Hmph, enter the palace!" Xiao Rui glanced at Xiao Wei coldly, and didn't say much. He just said something, and turned around and walked into the palace gate with his big sleeves. The three brothers were themselves
He didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly followed and rushed to Liangyi Hall with a silence.
Liangyi Hall is a special existence among the sixty-four halls in the imperial city. In terms of its own area, it is second only to Taiji Hall, and it is the second largest hall in the palace. However, whether it is the decoration of the palace itself or
The interior furnishings are far less than the luxury of Tai Chi Hall, and even less than the grandeur of Gan Lu Hall, which ranks third. However, because this hall is located inside and at the junction of the outer court, it has become the location of the inner court.
—Emperors always convene cabinet ministers in this hall to discuss state affairs. Those who are not third ranks or above are not allowed to enter. For emperors, compared with the Tai Chi Hall, the importance of the inner dynasty is obviously higher.
Because here, the emperor and the ministers can fully exchange opinions, without scrutinizing the reactions of ordinary court officials, and there is no need to worry about the interference of censors. In this sense, the emperor gave the banquet to the Liangyi Hall.
A rare glory of the top-notch officials. All the court officials who could participate gathered in front of the palace early. When the four of Xiang and his son arrived, the small square in front of the palace was already full of stars, not only the princes
The six ministers and nine ministers and all the great scholars arrived. Even the old master Lin Guodong, who was already in a semi-retired state, stood tremblingly in front of the ministers with a cane.
"My nephew, please see Uncle Wang."
"The official has met His Highness Xiang."
Although King Xiang Xiao Rui is now in a state of "honor and support" and has always been indifferent to the affairs of the government, he is the only surviving brother today, and he still has the title of "Master of the World's Military and Horses" on his head. The identity is extremely honorable. When everyone saw Xiang Wang and his son arrive, they dared not neglect anything. They surrounded each other in a mess, and they treated each other with each other, but the old teacher Lin Guodong Unmoved, as if he had not seen the arrival of King Xiang, the old god was still standing there with a cane on the ground without moving.
"You are polite, all of you will be spared." Xiang Wang Xiao Ruisu's majestic nature and never likes these false rituals. When he saw everyone coming over, he made some special statements, but he nodded with a plain face. , replied casually, and then stopped talking. Then, without caring about how the ministers reacted, he walked towards Lin Guodong with great strides, bowed respectfully and said, "Old lady." Teacher, it’s been a long time since I saw you, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I can last for a few years, haha, I can still breathe." Facing Xiao Rui's salute, Lin Guodong's turbid old eyes flashed in his turbid old eyes. But after that, I laughed and joked.[
"That's good. The old teacher is good at taking care of himself. Don't work too much." Lin Guodong said this so old-fashioned, and he was quite suspicious of relying on his seniority. However, Xiao Rui didn't care at all and was very polite. After saying that, he waved his hand and called Xiao Wei and others to approach, and ordered: "You are not going to see Old Master Lin soon."
"I have met Mr. Lin." Since the old man said so, the three brothers of the Xiao family did not dare to neglect them. They rushed forward and treated Lin Guodong with great salute.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I can't take it, I can't take it." Lin Guodong said that he couldn't take it, but in fact he had never even moved. He received a gift from the three brothers of the Xiao family just as he was.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Ji seemed to have been used to Lin Guodong's style for a long time, so they didn't have any special expressions, but Xiao Weike was a little unhappy - in previous years, Xiao Wei was young and did not have the qualifications to participate in the New Year's Eve banquet. I have never dealt with Lin Guodong. Although Xiao Wei once taught his great-grandson a lesson, he has never met Lin Guodong in fact. At this moment, he saw this old man so arrogantly. While I was happy, the bad water in my stomach began to emerge. I was thinking about how to give Old Man Lin a trick and made a fool of himself, but suddenly I saw my father's sharp eyes sweeping When he came over, he was shocked and the bad water that had already emerged suddenly flew where it was.
Damn, this old man is not simple, hey, my dad seems to be extremely afraid of him. If there is a problem, there is definitely a problem! Xiao Wei is an extremely smart person. When he sees his dad's warning eyes, he immediately It is obvious that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. I was frightened and couldn't help but guess it secretly. Unfortunately, because there is too little information, it is really hard to get something. I was wandering around, but I heard the steps in front of Liangyi Palace uploaded. A sharp voice came: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is here!" As soon as the sudden sound sounded, the ministers who were talking stood solemnly, and their eyes were all focused on a soft chariot surrounded by many eunuchs. Above...
