The world is heavy and late

Chapter 151
Xia Qing's conjecture was not wrong. Before moving back to the palace, the emperor sent an order to King An, wanting King An to enter the palace early, and their uncles and nephews hadn't talked about the past for a long time.

When King An received the decree, he didn't say anything in person, but he snorted coldly with Princess An behind his back: "I haven't watched it for so many years and want to reminisce about the past, now I think of my uncle."

Concubine An sat upright on the couch, looked at Wang An and said, "Your Majesty's grace, the prince must not be rude."

Wang An glared at Princess An fiercely and said: "Hurry up and put away your appearance, and see what a good Anyang taught you to be."

Princess An raised her head and said to King An, "What's wrong with Anyang?"

Seeing Princess An looking straight at him, Wang An swallowed his saliva and said, "Anyang, of course Anyang is good, and I'm talking about you now."

Princess An spat inwardly, then lowered her eyes again.

Wang An breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt that he was too shameless, so he snorted and ordered: "You go down and pack your things, and bring Anyang with you this time."

After finishing speaking, he went out, anyway, he didn't want to see Princess An's black face again.

When he turned to the study, Wang An looked at his staff and asked, "Why do you think the emperor called at this time?"

The staff pondered for a while and said: "Xu wants the prince to escort Mr. Xu for a ride."

King An said: "Hmph, I guess he meant the same thing. Why didn't he send someone to pick up his people?"

The staff smiled and said: "Your Majesty has made a contribution this time, I am afraid that His Majesty also wants to call him to Beijing, so you have to show something."

King An was not very interested and said: "Anyway, I won't give this king any substantive rights. It's better for me to stay here in Yizhou City."

The staff member bowed and said, "Master Xu, then..."

Wang An thought for a while and said: "Xu Zhong is a character, but his status is not good enough, and he will definitely not be able to reach a high position in the future."

The aide said: "Then according to the prince's intention, we should pretend that we don't know about this matter? Write a letter and ask for leave?"

King An glanced at his staff and felt that the gentleman he invited was not as smart as himself. He said: "This king has done so many things for him, even if it is a mosquito leg, he has to show it to this king."

After finishing speaking, he snorted and said: "Although Xu Zhong can't be like Zhang Zhizhi, I'm afraid he will look very good in front of this emperor's nephew in the future. It's better to be polite. We may have to deal with this Lord Xu in the future. .”

After speaking, he glanced at the staff who bowed and lowered their heads, and said, "This king raises you a bunch of trash, and you don't even understand this."

The staff members obviously understood Wang An's characteristics very well, they didn't panic at all and even their expressions didn't change, they directly lowered their heads and said: "My lord is unparalleled in resourcefulness, small ones are useless."

Wang An thought that although this staff member was a little stupid, at least his words were nice.

But the staff thought in their hearts, what's the use of what he said, it is better for Wang An to understand what he can be presumptuous and what he can't be presumptuous.

The staff have been by King An's side for many years, so they naturally know what kind of temperament King An is. Although he is extravagant and licentious, King An has never done anything that would really arouse public grievances and make the emperor jealous.

Others say that King An has no ambitions and only indulges in vocal music, but King An has been in Yizhou for so many years, isn't Yizhou getting better every year?

He was unwilling to vote for King An's name. He had heard of King An's reputation, but he didn't have much hope, but when he was about to die in a foreign land, it was King An who saved him. He goes.

But now he is very satisfied. Compared with today's King An, he is not considered wise and powerful, nor even smart, but King An can listen to the advice of others, especially the advice of Princess An.

King An felt a little better after hearing the compliments from his staff. The royal family is exactly the same, they just like to listen to other people's flattery.

He said to his staff: "Go and deliver a letter to Xu Zhong, just say that in three days from the west gate, the king will go back to Beijing with him. You can arrange more people, he Xu Zhong is a trivial matter, this king will prepare Take Anyang to the capital to have a look, it's the second time she has grown up so much."

The staff members bowed and went down to prepare.

Xu Zhong had already packed up all the salutes at this time. He was going to leave tomorrow, but Wang An sent a message saying that he was going to Beijing.

Xu Zhong thought for a while and then understood that although he was eager, he still wanted to appreciate the emperor's arrangement, so he said to Anping and Cheng Dalang: "You don't have to worry, go and tell Hao Shen and them, we will meet again later. Depart from the west gate and return to Beijing with King An."

The two were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything. They could already feel the anxious mood on Xu Zhong's body, and...the two looked at each other quietly, and they both seemed to be silent.

Anping thought: Last time, Hou San told himself, did the master like to shout after drinking, and said that the master's accent didn't sound like a Yizhou accent.

They didn't expect it at the time, but after a few days, the two of them understood a little bit, what happened, it was obviously Xia Qing.

Zhu Ba and Hou San looked at Anping's appearance of being a villain recently, and were a little confused.

After seeing Anping looking at him with that kind of eyes that you don't know anything, he squeezed his fist and said: "Grandma, I must screw that kid's head off today, what are you doing looking at my brother?" both."

Zhu Ba's face was also dark and ugly, but he still grabbed Hou San's arm and glared at him, "That's the servant next to Lord Xu."

Hou San was a little unwilling and said: "Grandma, brother, I can't bear to just look at this kid with his nostrils soaring to the sky."

Zhu Ba said: "Hmph, talk slowly later, and where did you learn these stupid words, if Master Xu hears it, I will wring your head off and use it as a chamber pot."

After finishing speaking, he patted Hou San's head. Hou San thought in his heart: Grandma's, every time I pat him so hard.

King An's return to the capital is not a small news, this kind of news requires the emperor to issue an imperial decree, otherwise the vassal king will leave the fief with his people privately, but he will be punished as a crime of treason.

So Xia Qing heard about it when she just returned to the palace, but now she doesn't have so much time to worry about Xu Zhong.

She and Gu Weiyun left the palace for four or five months, although there will be papers delivered to Gu Weiyun the next day, but there are still many things that I can't worry about.

Besides, thinking of what was discussed in Daming Palace, Xia Qing felt as if a mountain was pressing on his back.

And some of Cui's staff still have to be pulled out.

Xia Qing squinted his eyes. Those members of the Cui family had always behaved in the same way as the Cui family, and they liked to cut off their tails to survive when something happened.

Every time a person is caught, he commits suicide.

She thought, she still needs to find a way to get both stolen goods.

But she didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

She squinted her eyes, looked in the direction of Ganlu Hall and said, "Those people are still there?"

The familiar servant below said: "Yes, it's still there. The servants found that since my aunt returned to the palace, those people looked more anxious. Cui's eunuch in charge is occasionally there."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "I thought her patience was good, but that's all."

Xia Qing thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Eunuch Cui follows you every day?"

The servant lowered his head and said: "Not often follow, he is very careful, only occasionally follow."

Xia Qing nodded, turned around and took a purse from the table and said, "This is from the past few months, thank you for your hard work."

The servant didn't refuse as much as he did at the beginning, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, aunt."

Xia Qing turned her body slightly. It had been many years, but she was still not used to such a humble posture.

She said: "There's no need to do that, you need to relax slowly in the past few days, don't stare too closely."

The servant hurriedly said: "Grandpa Xu asked the servants to take good care of Auntie before he left."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "He hasn't come back yet? And I know it well, I won't rush to find death."
