After I quit my relationship, my fiancé was attacked by me

Chapter 69 A Sword

It just happens to be nine, which is the day when courtiers go to court every five days.

As soon as he came to court, Xie Zhan was left behind by Emperor Mu Andi.

Walking through the long corridor with the servants, we came to Qinzheng Hall surrounded by towering old trees and shaded by green trees.

The servant bowed and respectfully asked Xie Shaoqing to wait a moment, then quickly entered the hall to communicate.

After a while, the door of the hall opened wide, and the regular attendant on Sanqi strode out of the hall first.

Wearing a crimson official uniform of the same grade as Xie Zhan, he slowly walked down the jade steps. When he was approaching Xie Zhan, he suddenly stopped, raised his eyes, and met his eyes.

The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, and the ground is covered with sparkling spots the size of copper coins, and one ray, impartial, freezes on his crown-like jade face.

His complexion is fair, his bones are sharp, and his whole person is seven points deep and three points clear, with the noble temperament of a prince, and the chill and hostility that has been battle-tested.

Xie Zhan had never seen this person before, but he could see hostility from his deep eye sockets.

In just a moment, Xie Zhan understood who he was.

Being an official in the same dynasty, etiquette cannot be perfunctory, Xie Zhan cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness Duan Wang."

"Thank you, Shaoqing."

Chen Tian did not move away after returning the gift, but scanned Xie Zhan from top to bottom, as if to see through him.

Xie Zhan looked back at him calmly.

The two of them didn't speak any more, but their eyes turned cold at the same time.

A dark cloud floated over, blocking the bright and scorching sun, only a ray of sunlight was exposed from the gap, projected on the ground between the two of them, clearly demarcating the border between Chuhe and Han.

The surrounding wind blew, and the leaves of the towering trees rustled, resembling the rustling footsteps of soldiers on the battlefield.

The long silence was broken by Chen Tian, ​​his eyes were still indifferent, but a smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, "Thank you Shaoqing for your rescue that day, sister Xuanxuan was able to survive, it's a pity that I gave the horse .”

As he expected, when he finished speaking, the expression in Xie Zhan's eyes changed.Chen Tian clenched his hands tightly, grinding the jade wrench with his index finger.

They are both men, and when such words came out, the two of them understood the meaning tacitly.

At this moment, it is really inappropriate to speak about personal matters, but it is too appropriate.

Sister Xuanxuan?

Thank you for your help?

Xie Zhan's eyes were as cold as ice, and he was stern. Suddenly, he gave a chuckle, and instead of answering Chen Tian's words, he said confidently: "She will thank me herself."

Chen Tian raised his eyebrows, but the smile on his lips remained unchanged, "Really?"

His tone was playful, as if to say: She doesn't know how.

Xie Zhan remained silent, and stared at Chen Tian coldly.

The silent tension between the two spread, and it didn't stop until the servant who ran over spoke anxiously.

"Please, Xie Shaoqing, the Holy Majesty is still waiting for you."

Xie Zhan nodded slightly, then looked away from Chen Tian's face, and strode towards the Hall of Qinzheng.

**
Emperor Mu Andi was sitting behind the desk, seeing Xie Zhan salute him, he raised his hand and ordered him to avoid the salute.

Xie Zhan finished his salute respectfully and stood in the hall.

His back is as straight as a pine, and he has an indomitable momentum from top to bottom.

Emperor Mu Andi hadn't spoken yet.

This was the first time he met the future head of the Xie family after he ascended the throne.At this moment, he couldn't help sighing: It really is a precious sword!
Calm and introverted, with absolute temperament, the edge has not been concealed before it is out of the sheath.

Emperor Mu Andi frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy about his choice.Of course, whether he chooses the right one or the wrong one, he has no other choice now.

Thinking of this, he sighed rather desperately, and then cut straight to the point: "Xie Shaoqing, I have summoned you because it is related to your future father-in-law. How about you handle the case of Fu Shangshu?"

Future father-in-law?

Xie Zhan's eyes moved slightly. It's not that he hadn't thought about the purpose of Emperor Mu Andi's summoning him, but he was so direct and clear that he didn't expect it.

It was even more unexpected for him to directly link him with Fujia.

But if the Holy Majesty really regards him as the son-in-law who helps the family, shouldn't he even avoid the fact that the party's five servants and relatives do not participate in the court?

Thinking about this, he replied: "The responsibility of the minister is that he will be responsible for the Dali Temple case."

This answer can be said to be quite satisfactory, business-like, as if it has not changed because of his opening, and Emperor Mu Andi's heart trembled slightly.

It's smart.

He didn't reject the matter, and put the reason for the matter on the responsibility.

He continued: "Xie Liulang, let's go to Yuzhou to investigate the tricky matter."

Xie Zhan hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, matters that can be counted are not under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple."

Emperor Mu Andi chuckled, "The Dali Temple doesn't care, but the Shushi Yushi doesn't care?"

Serving the censor, that is, serving the censor, assisting the censor Zhongcheng, supervising and impeaching high-level officials, and occasionally serving as envoys and arresting offenders.

That is, he was asked to change his identity and go to Yuzhou to be sent as an envoy to monitor Yuzhou officials.

"Saturday Lang, can this trip be successful?" Emperor Mu Andi asked again.

Zhou Yue is one of them.

Not to mention other people, with years of experience as a friend, if you pretend to be Zhou Yue, Xie Zhan can learn seven points at least.

It turned out that the candidate had been prepared for him, Xie Zhan didn't intend to refuse, so he respectfully said: "The minister accepts the order."

After Xie Zhan left, Eunuch Wei, who was beside Emperor Mu Andi, entered the hall with a cup of calming tea.

He hunched his back, handed the tea to the table with trembling hands, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, take a break, you have not rested all night, how can this dragon body suffer like this? If the late emperor knew, how much would he know?" Heartache."

Eunuch Wei used to be the late emperor's servant, watching Emperor Mu And grow up, and also the old man that Emperor Mu And watched grow old.

As soon as he saw him, Emperor Mu Andi seemed to return to the prince who was taught by his father when he was young that "everything can be established if it is forewarned, and it will be destroyed if it is not forewarned".

Being nagged by Eunuch Wei, Emperor Mu Andi put down the wolf hair in his hand, and leaned back.

He pointed to a stack of folders on the table and said with a smile: "If the widow is going to rest, these, Eunuch Wei, you come?"

Eunuch Wei waved his hands again and again, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of this old servant, what's wrong with this? What's wrong with this!"

Mu Andi laughed a few times, "It's just a joke. It's been decades, why haven't you changed at all? You're still so cautious!"

Seeing Emperor Mu'an's amiable face, and his complexion much better than before, Eunuch Wei boldly replied: "In terms of prudence, the old slave is far inferior to the late emperor. Back then, the late emperor finally found a capable person, It’s also with all my heart, I’ve hid it for so long, hey…”

"You know?" Emperor Mu Andi asked.

Eunuch Wei sighed and nodded, "Duke Nanjun has passed away, and His Majesty has very few capable people to use."

Emperor Mu Andi took a sip of tea, rubbed the center of his brows, "Who doesn't know the truth that even you know? It's my carelessness, I shouldn't let him out of Jiankang City."

Eunuch Wei went around behind him, stretched out his hands to press his temples, and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, the hunter killed a lion, should it be blamed for the lion being born in Cangshan?"

Emperor Mu Andi smiled wryly, "It's only half a year." Those people couldn't wait any longer.

**
Coming out of the palace, Xie Zhan's face seemed to be frozen.

He stood by the carriage for a full quarter of an hour before raising his eyes to look at Shi Qing.

Heh, he meant, why did the sage immediately understand as soon as he entered the door, directly linking him with the Fu family, it turned out that King Duan had blown the wind there, and the sage then used this as a means to win over him.

Others don't know the truth about his resignation, so how could Duan Wang, who often walks around with Fu's family, not know?This news was originally released by the Fu family.

what?

While mocking him, Fuxuan didn't care about retiring, and at the same time took advantage of the Holy Majesty's ignorance of the truth and used him as a tool to work hard for the Fu family?
It's really a wishful thinking, and it's a good trick!
Seeing the embarrassment on his young master's face, Shi Qing thought about it and asked: "Young master, are you going to the Binjiang Tower?" Usually, if you are unhappy, the young master will go to the Binjiang Tower to have a drink by the river.

Xie Zhan closed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

After a while, he replied, "No, go to the racecourse in the western suburbs."

Shi Qing looked at him in bewilderment.

Why did you go to that racecourse suddenly?

"Pick a white horse."

　"Everything is forewarned, nothing is foregone" - no matter what you do, if you are prepared in advance, you can succeed, otherwise you will fail.
