The three of them were thinking about it, but Su Ziji had already made up his mind and looked at the window. It was the darkest time before dawn, and the sky was darker than the night. After being stunned for a while, he asked reluctantly: "Did I fall asleep yesterday? Then? How is it going?"
Seeing this, the wild Taoist felt a little uneasy, and it was not easy to ask questions at this time, so he could only tell his lord about the situation in the arena.
Su Ziji listened to the results of the competition between the thirty-two people and smiled: "This problem is easy to solve. Bo Yan, Zheng Huai, and Pang Si are very strong in martial arts. I can't break my promise. I can directly appoint the instructors in the government and enjoy the treatment of guests. Well, There must be a seniority gap, slightly lower than Luo Jiang."
"Yes!" The three of them heard this and felt that this was a clean-up. Only the wild Taoist was moved. Is it the head teacher or the guest minister? Is this because the king is a little suspicious and does not directly include it in the establishment of the government?
Just thinking about it, I heard Su Ziji say: "The remaining twenty-nine people were awarded the title of palace guards. In order to have different qualifications and backgrounds from the original palace guards, a new team was formed, and the salary was slightly lower than that of the palace guards. Ask them if they are willing, and if they are willing, let them enter the house and directly give them uniforms and long knives."
"Ask them to obey orders immediately after changing their clothes."
"Yes!" Jian Qu said from the side: "Master, why don't you let me handle this matter?"
"Yes." Su Ziji nodded, "Let Mr. Jian handle this matter."
Cen Rubai said: "Lord, the origins of these people are unknown. We must investigate the details. Moreover, they are too arrogant. Even if they are to be used, they must polish the rules."
Su Ziji turned around and smiled: "What you said is right, but when it comes to matters of urgency, how can you follow the right rules?"
"The guards in the mansion are nervous now. If I am at home, I can be basically satisfied. If I go out, the mansion will be empty. Now that the princess is pregnant, I have to be more careful."
"With these new second-class guards, if nothing else, I will be able to make a scene when I go out."
"Besides, they are charlatans and are not good at fighting, but they must be professional in guarding against assassins, so they are the right ones to use."
There was no need to explain anything when acting on behalf of the king, but the warmth of these words moved all three of them.
Cen Rubai had seen Dai Wang's methods, and he had an idea in his mind: "Could it be that Dai Wang cannot be trusted, but he really needs people, so he uses these people to succeed him?"
"When something happens, these charlatans are good victims."
With this idea in mind, seeing that Jian Qu still wanted to object, Cen Rubai pulled the corner of his clothes and asked him to stop talking, and just asked in a low voice.
"My lord, it seems that your body has not recovered yet. Do you want to continue to rest? You really don't need to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Su Ziji shook his head: "No, I know this in my heart. There is no need to look at it anymore - by the way, have many strange things happened recently? If so, tell me."
The king has expressed his position in this way, so the three of them naturally can't say much. After all, the three of them are retainers. Even if they have friendship, they can't be forced. They just have to fulfill their duties.
The wild Taoist didn't understand what his lord meant by suddenly asking about this: "If you want to know these things, I will ask someone to collect them when I get back."
He knew in his heart that his lord's words must have intentions, and he had already planned to go out and give orders.
Cen Rubai was about to go out. After hearing this topic, he thought for a while and said, "Speaking of this, I really heard about a strange thing. There is a temple in Qingyang Mansion, less than two hundred miles away from the capital, with great incense. , The prefect of Qingyang Prefecture also occasionally goes to perform incense offerings, but the day before yesterday, the prefect took his entourage to perform incense offerings, and asked the entourage to open the main hall, and saw a fireball, followed by an explosion. "
"Oh, you now know what happened in Qingyang Mansion the day before yesterday." Jian Qu asked in surprise: "Did the explosion kill someone?"
"No, not even a single thing was destroyed in this explosion. The temple was fine. There was no fire, and no strange things happened again. It was as if the fireballs and loud noises were just phantoms that suddenly appeared, and no place was burned."
"The only person who pushed the door open at that time and the magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture, who was walking behind, passed out before he entered the door."
Cen Rubai was a little surprised when he talked about this: "Up to now, the magistrate and his entourage have not woken up. I heard that all the famous doctors in Qingyang Prefecture have been invited. But anyone who goes to see them says that they are strong and have no health problems." Disease. It makes the curious feel like a cat is scratching its itch."
"The people are lacking in entertainment, so a strange story finally appeared. It affected the parents of the government. It was really hard to stop talking about. In a short period of time, it spread at an incredible speed. Even I knew about it. ”
"There are rumors that the gods in the temple admired the character of the magistrate of Qingyang Prefecture and specially invited the master and servant to his home. Do you think this is a strange story?"
Speaking of this, Cen Rubai couldn't help but laugh, but Su Ziji did not laugh, and nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a strange thing."
After saying that, he stood up and asked the maid to dress: "Bring me something early, don't disturb the princess, and you go and handle it immediately, and prepare the carriage and the new guards. This morning, I am going to the Taoist Temple to visit Liu Zhan. about."
Both of them came out in response, but the wild Taoist stood in front of him and did not leave. Su Ziji didn't take it seriously. He changed into a new robe, rearranged his bun, put on a crown, and then stepped out and walked towards the main courtyard. And go.
The princess is pregnant. According to the established rules, the prince can usually rest in the room of other female relatives. However, now there is only one female dependent in the palace of the acting prince. Su Ziji, the acting prince, is not a womanizer, and he really does not have the time to be busy now. Regarding this matter, I usually accompany Ye Buhui or rest in the study. This is also the reason why Su Ziji did not go there tonight but Ye Buhui did not suspect it.
When Su Ziji passed by, it was dawn, and Ye Buhui woke up because he felt sleepy.
She woke up, and the maids and servants who served her would be earlier than her. As soon as Su Ziji entered the courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was already busy, some were boiling water, some were preparing breakfast, and everyone was tiptoeing around very carefully. Then he went up the steps of the main room without saying a word.
The wild Taoist stayed in the courtyard of his own accord. Only then did everyone notice his arrival. They all knelt down with bated breath. Su Ziji waved his hand: "Everyone, get up."
Su Ziji's feet were very fast. When they arrived at Ye Buhui's house, Ye Buhui got up due to the noise. As soon as Su Ziji came in, he gently pushed her down and sat down again: "You and I are husband and wife, why should we be polite?"
Looking at Ye Buhui who was still wearing her underwear, Su Ziji pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed and asked, "I came here quietly because I was afraid of waking you up. Why did you get up so early? Is the child disturbing you?"
Ye Buhui shook his head: "No, he just slept lightly."
Su Ziji gently placed his hand on Ye Buhui's lower abdomen, then leaned his face closer, listening to his heartbeat: "It's indeed not this child who is quarreling with you."
Probably because the month was still too young, there was no movement at all.
A woman on the side was amused by the appearance of the prince as a new father, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princess's fetus is still too small and has no heartbeat yet."
"It will be another three months before you can hear your heartbeat or fetal movements."
Su Ziji reluctantly straightened up and said to Ye Buhui: "In that case, I'm relieved, and you don't have to worry. If there's nothing important, I will come here every day. When did this child bother you? You tell me and I will speak to him."
Ye Buhui covered his mouth and smiled: "That's settled."
Su Ziji stood up, looked at the old woman, and his eyes flashed: "I think you look familiar. Are you from the Jia family? Are you experienced in this?"
The mother-in-law remembered it all when she heard it, and she burst into laughter: "It's me. I'm a woman from the Jia family. I have three daughters-in-law. I took care of them when they gave birth. Both mother and child are safe."
"The king is so blessed. The princess will give birth to a little prince, and we will have to fawn over him in the future."
Su Ziji laughed when he said this: "You are very good at talking. Come here, I will reward you with ten taels of silver. I hope you will tell the truth and not live up to what you just said."
"Thank you, your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" The woman smiled so hard that her eyes turned into slits. She thanked her repeatedly and waited for the king to leave. Then she congratulated Ye Buhui: "Princess, my king loves you and your children so much, but there are few people in the world. Yes, it compares with the female relatives in the capital."
Ye Buhui was very familiar with Su Ziji. She glanced at her mother-in-law and felt a little doubt in her heart. There was something wrong with what she just said.
But on second thought, I felt like I was being too preoccupied.
The Jia family was originally from the prince's palace. They had been in decline since the prince's death. It was their husband who raised them up from the quagmire. They had good food, clothing and treatment, so there should be no problems.
