In front of Zuo Xiangfu!
"See Your Majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Huh......"
Emperor Xia was wearing casual clothes, with Eunuch Wei following behind him. He knew it and asked, "I heard that the left minister held a banquet for the right minister tonight and invited six ministers and censors. Why didn't they come out to greet me?"
Along the way, secret reports from the Imperial City Department kept coming... Emperor Xia knew everything about the six ministers pretending to be ill and the coming and going of the imperial censor!
"Cough cough cough..."
Sima Jian replied with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the imperial censor is busy with official duties. The six ministers are infected with the cold due to the heavy snow and cannot attend today's night banquet!"
now.
Chief Sima’s face was burning!
The Sima family is in disgrace today!
Depressing!
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia smiled without saving any face: "These guys don't give Aiqing face, and let Aiqing live up to her kindness to them!"
"I'm coming tonight. Will you welcome me?"
"Your Majesty is here, the Sima family is in full bloom!"
Sima Jian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please come in!"
"I like to drink Huangzhou spirits and eat Huangzhou delicacies recently. Are you prepared?"
"Of course!"
"What a coincidence, Your Majesty. Most of the food prepared in the mansion today are Huangzhou delicacies, and Huangzhou spirits are also prepared!"
"What a coincidence!"
Emperor Xia smiled meaningfully: "Then I will try the food and wine of Zuo Xiangfu!"
"It's my honor!"
Emperor Xia stepped into the house and said, "Xiao Jiu, my father is here to borrow wine from the Sima family to celebrate your success tonight!"
"You did a good job this time and made great contributions to the court. How do you want me to reward you?"
Xia Tian said seriously: "Father, since the seventh emperor brother was deposed, rumors have spread among the people, saying that the father wants to make his son a prince, so that he can't bear to be disturbed. Therefore, the son asks his father to establish a new prince as soon as possible, so that his son can be crowned prince." I can concentrate on serving the court and not be bothered by rumors!"
"Yeah?"
Emperor Xia asked meaningfully: "Which one of your royal brothers do you think can enter the East Palace?"
"Brother Six Emperors!"
Emperor Xia took a deep look at Xia Tian and said noncommittally: "Will he conflict with the stone lion in front of the East Palace Gate?"
summer:"......"
"This matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it later!"
"yes!"
"Today, I am drinking!"
Shortly after.
Emperor Xia sat on the main seat and picked up the wine glass: "With this glass of wine, I hope that you, the left and the right, will work together to help me govern the world, let's do it!"
"According to the order!"
The three drank it all in one go!
Emperor Xia raised his glass again: "Xiaojiu, this is a glass of celebration wine!"
"When you first entered the court, you were able to properly resettle the refugees, collect money for the national treasury, handle things decisively and resolutely, and your bravery exceeded my expectations... I am very pleased!"
Xia Tian looked humble: "Father, I am just trying my best to do things. As for whether I have offended the civil and military officials of the dynasty, or whether I have offended the wealthy families all over the world, I can no longer care!"
A cold light flashed in Emperor Xia's eyes: "Father is well aware of this matter. From now on, if anyone uses this matter to stir up trouble, I will make the decision for you!"
"Sima Aiqing, do you know what to do?"
Sima Jian: "..."
"Know!"
Emperor Xia said this to Sima Jian.
When Sima Jian hears it, it means that all the officials in the court will know!
"Thank you, Father!"
finally.
Emperor Xia still couldn't help but ask: "Xiaojiu, you asked me today about coming to live in Zuoxiang's Mansion, is it because you don't want to enter the palace to accompany me?"
Sima Jian’s eyes flashed with brilliance!
It turns out that this boy moved into Sima Mansion not only to alienate his relationship with various wealthy families, but also to have a private meeting with Meier, and also to escape the unfreedom of living in the palace!
Kill three birds with one stone!
It's his way of doing things!
"of course not!"
Xia Tian categorically denied: "My son has just entered the imperial court and has a dark eye on government affairs. He needs the Prime Minister's guidance. He lives nearby and can ask for advice on anything!"
Emperor Xia looked unbelieving: "Now it has been found out that the left prime minister was framed. This matter has nothing to do with him. There is no need to avoid suspicion anymore!"
"However, Sima Aiqing has mismanaged the clan members, so he should be grounded for another three days!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sima Jian looked grateful: "I will take good care of my clan, and things like this will never happen again!"
"very good!"
Emperor Xia then turned to Xia Tian and said: "Xiao Jiu, in three days, Sima Aiqing will lift the ban, you can live in the palace!"
"yes!"
Xia Tian no longer has an excuse: "My son, I obey the decree!"
"Moving into the palace in three days!"
By living in the palace, he can be closer to Concubine Qin, closer to Jixia Underground Palace, and closer to the truth in Jixia Underground Palace.
However, he wanted Emperor Xia to think that he did not want to enter the palace!
This is very skillful!
After three drinks.
Emperor Xia said seriously: "The Black Man Empire was killed last night in the palace, and his head was taken away. How should we explain this matter to the Black Man Empire?"
"What?"
Sima Jian was a little surprised: "If this matter is not handled well, Emperor Heiman will definitely not let it go!"
"Then dear, please think of a solution!"
"yes!"
"Xiaojiu, you should also think about the solution to this matter and discuss it in court tomorrow!"
"yes!"
"Also, rumors about you and Mei'er are spreading everywhere in the imperial capital. Now that you are living in Sima Mansion, you must avoid suspicion and not cause any more rumors!"
"yes!"
Sima Jian was very pleased!
The emperor has the same attitude as him on this matter!
Be sure to guard against a private meeting between two people!
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Xia, Sima Jian, and Xia Tian were chatting happily, and the atmosphere in the living room was harmonious.
Finally, late at night.
Emperor Xia left Zuo Xiang's Mansion with seven points of drunkenness. After entering the sedan, the drunkenness disappeared from his eyes: "Old man, you said Xiaojiu lived in Sima's house...for Mei'er?"
"I don't dare to make random guesses about the prince's affairs!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "Will Xiaojiu unite with the Sima family?"
"Won't!"
Eunuch Wei said with certainty: "Absolutely not!"
"Why?"
Emperor Xia was a little curious: "Why are you so sure?"
Eunuch Wei said seriously: "Because they are not the same kind of people!"
"The Sima family is the leader of a wealthy family and represents the interests of a wealthy family!"
"But the prince is different. He has more compassion for the poorest people in the empire!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia was relieved and laughed heartily: "You old thing, you are really hateful when you pretend to be confused, but you are also very good when you solve the confusion!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
"Go back to the palace!"
"According to the order!"
at this time!
In the mansion of Zuo Xiang.
Sima Jian ordered in the study: "Watch the west wing, don't let me touch the eldest lady!"
"yes!"
Butler Sima was full of confidence: "The west wing has been surrounded by buckets. Even if a mosquito flies out, it will not escape our eyes and ears!"
"very good!"
Sima Jian opened the secret door of the study and walked in!
There is someone waiting for him inside!
the other side.
Xia Tian walked into the west courtyard and walked into the west wing thoughtfully.
suddenly.
A peerless beauty appeared in front of him.
I saw the beauty sitting on the bed, her flower-like face full of shyness, her tall breasts rising and falling, and her mood looking very turbulent: "Your Majesty, come to bed and talk!"
"come......"
