Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 12

Xie Shu came out quickly, not even bringing Mubai with him, he was wearing the casual clothes when he first met, the red gold silk thread given by Wei Yizhi on the hem of the clothes was very eye-catching, complementing her elegant appearance.

She got into the car, smiled at Wei Yizhi and said, "I'm not familiar with the places to eat, drink and have fun in Jiankang City, so I'll follow you today, but don't lose me."

"Don't worry." Wei Yizhi smiled, and his eyes fell on her neckline. She is still wearing a middle coat today, but the collar is not as high as usual, and her neck is smooth and slender, which can be seen at a glance.

He withdrew his gaze, feeling regret for some reason.

When he was young, he drove across the street, and everyone praised him. Yuan Qing, the former Taiwei, said that "if he was a woman, he would be all over the city and all over the country".He grew up gradually, and became more and more heroic. Although he was praised for his appearance, there were no such words anymore.But now he wants to use these words on Xie Shu.

Xie Shu, how could it be a boy...

The chariots and horses went straight to Changganli, the streets were full of people, and the tip of their noses could already smell the unique scent of early summer.Xie Shu sniffed it intoxicated, she still likes this place better than the bird clothing alley with deep gates.

The car was parked at the side of a narrow alley, the noise was gone, and the smell of wine was already heavy.Wei Yi got out of the car and smiled at Xie Shu behind him: "The taste hasn't changed."

Seeing that he was a regular customer, Xie Shu couldn't help becoming interested: "I'm going to try it today. What kind of fine wine makes you miss it so much?"

Wei Yizhi led her into the alley, made several turns, and entered a small tavern.The dark and dirty lobby is overcrowded.But the shopkeeper knew Wei Yizhi, and as soon as he saw him, he led the two of them to the backyard.There is a big ginkgo tree in the courtyard, and a few tables are placed beside it, which seems to be an elegant seat.

Wei Yizhi asked for some food and wine, and asked Fu Xuan to stand guard at the entrance, as if he had something to say.

Xie Shu was also ready, all the hairs on his body were ready to take the move.

"Ruyi, how old are you this year?"

This is Wei Yizhi's first question.

It only took Xie Shu a moment to recover from surprise, and then he was elated.

Wei Yizhi may have doubted her gender, but apparently he doubted her age even more.

It is a crime to deceive the emperor by pretending to be a man and pretending to be an official. What the Xie family wants is power, and Xie Mingguang is a resourceful person, so he can train other capable candidates, so there is no need to take such a risk.

In Wei Yizhi's view, anyone with a little brain would not do such rebellious and stupid things.

But Xie Mingguang just did it.

"Not long after the weak crown, what's the matter?"

Wei Yizhi took a sip from the wine cup and glanced at her: "It doesn't look like it."

The feet are smaller than adult men, and the Adam's apple is not obvious, which is indeed not like it.

"Hey, you're not the first person to say that." Xie Shu seemed troubled, and frowned, taking a sip of his wine: "Although there are not many males in our Xie family, all of them stand upright, and there are not a few of them who are tall and tall. Who is not seven feet tall, my grandfather or my father? Even my uncle Xie Ran, who looks thin and slender, is the only one who is not only short, but also thin. Do you know? When I first returned to Xie’s house, my grandfather Call me dry bean sprouts."

Probably due to heredity, she is tall among women, even taller than many men, but she is much weaker than a mature and slender man like Wei Yizhi.

Wei Yizhi wanted to laugh when he heard that title, but he held back: "That's strange, why don't you grow tall?"

The joke on Xie Shu's face disappeared, and his face showed sadness: "Hungry..."

Wei Yizhi suddenly felt a little sympathy in his heart when he looked at her sideways face and remembered the scene of her hiding on the mountain in Kuaiji in embarrassment.

The two were silent for a while, then Xie Shu said again: "I was teased for being like a girl since I was a child, and because of this, I often fought with others. For a while, my mother even raised me as a girl, which made many people around a hundred miles away. Everyone thinks that I am a woman, if I hadn't returned to Xie's house later, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get a daughter-in-law."

Having said that, even if Wei Yizhi went to Jingzhou to investigate, it would be easy to get over it.

Xie Shu seemed to be getting more and more melancholy as he spoke, and took another sip of wine. The remaining drops of wine slid down the corners of his mouth, winding down his neck and falling into his chest.

Wei Yizhi looked away and drank silently.

Maybe he was overthinking.

When the first Xia Lei bombed above Jiankang City, the Nanshi rebellion case came to fruition.

According to Le An's confession, Lu Xihuan and Gu Chang were imprisoned, and they will be dealt with after a retrial.

"That's it?" The emperor held the memorial and looked at the prince.

"Yes, Father."

The emperor angrily broke the scriptures and told him to go back to the East Palace to reflect.

The crown prince Sima Lin was gentle and kind, but the emperor thought that his behavior was too rigid, and he had a bad relationship with the empress, so he always didn't like this son.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the result of this treatment, so he naturally went to Xie Shu who recommended the prince.

When the palace servants came to pass the message, Xie Shu was eating, and he thought the food was good, so he called Xie Ran.

After hearing the news, she suddenly sighed with emotion: "Oh, the prince is good in everything, but he is just like his true self, so kind!"

Mubai who stood on the side said: "That's right, the subordinates have already said that the young master wants to get rid of this shortcoming, you are more kind than the prince."

Xie Ran silently put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm full, the prime minister eat slowly."

Xie Shu watched him leave, humbly accepted Mubai's criticism, picked up two more bowls of rice, and then slowly entered the palace.

She was full, and the emperor was so angry that he didn't even have a sip of tea. He sat in the imperial study with a calm face: "Xie Xiang strongly recommended the prince to deal with this matter. Now this is the result. You yourself said that this matter is not suitable?" suitable?"

Xie Shu said: "Your Majesty, it is clear that the Crown Prince actually has good intentions. If the Nan scholars are united, if they act harshly, it may cause even greater disasters. Therefore, even if it is just a show, it is necessary to try again."

The emperor's question was choked back: "What about after the trial? What should we do?"

"Your Majesty only needs to execute the two leaders, Lu Xihuan and Gu Chang, and say that this matter is the mastermind of the two of them. It has nothing to do with the family, and the crime is not as good as the whole family. As long as they don't move the root of Nanshi, they will not act rashly again. As for Le An , since the meritorious deeds have been redeemed, it is enough to be dismissed from office and exiled for three thousand miles."

What he said was not unreasonable, the emperor could only snort twice and dismiss her, but the dissatisfaction with the prince in his heart had reached an uncontrollable level.

When Xie Shu left the palace, he happened to meet Wang Luoxiu.

She stayed with the Queen Mother in the Inner Palace for a few days, Mrs. Xiang couldn't wait any longer, so she went to Shou'an Palace to pick her up today.

"See the prime minister." Wang Luoxiu saluted with a small smile.

Mrs. Xiang also saluted, and her smile became more hypocritical.

Xie Shu was a little jealous of Mrs. Xiang, but he had a good impression of Wang Luoxiu, so he went up to chat with the two of them.

Mrs. Xiang just wanted to take her future daughter-in-law away from her, and she was about to leave immediately, but Wang Luoxiu was a little reluctant, and asked Xie Shu, "Luoxiu is talkative. Dare I ask if there is a result in the encounter?"

Xie Shu said: "Your Majesty has made a decision."

Wang Luoxiu had a delicate mind, seeing Xie Shu's gentle words, although he felt good in his heart, he was afraid that Mrs. Xiang would hear something, so he hurriedly added: "That would be great, otherwise my brother will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating."

Xie Shu wanted to comfort her a few more words, but seeing Mrs. Xiang's increasingly gloomy face in a blink of an eye, he immediately found an excuse to slip away.

When Mrs. Xiang boarded the car, she asked Wang Luoxiu, "I just heard from you that the prime minister was in danger in Kuaiji?"

Wang Luoxiu nodded: "There is such a thing, it seems that there are traitors who want to murder the prime minister."

Mrs. Xiang patted her knee in frustration: "Why didn't it work, alas!"

"..."

When Wei Yizhi learned that Wang Luoxiu had returned to the mansion, he ordered Fu Xuan to send some things there, but no one showed up.

Mrs. Xiang is a fine person, and she came from such a young age. Wang Luoxiu saw that Xie Shu's eyes clearly showed a dangerous message, and her own son didn't care, so of course she had to remind him.

Wei Yizhi was practicing sword in the courtyard, raising his breath and concentrating on it, dancing so fiercely with sword energy, she sighed beside him, until Wei Yizhi was distracted by her whimpering, and finally stopped resignedly.

"What does mother want to say?"

"My son is talented and beautiful, but he has not been able to get married so far. I am anxious."

Wei Yizhi was funny: "Mother has been anxious for several years, isn't she fine?"

Mrs. Xiang stared: "What do you mean? You just want to make me sleepless, don't you?"

Wei Yizhi said helplessly: "Then what do you want me to do? If His Majesty refuses to allow such a high family in the Wang family, how dare I marry this family?"

Madam Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll beg the Queen Mother tomorrow!"

"Although the Empress Dowager's surname is Wei, she is a member of the Sima family after all."

"..." Mrs. Xiang couldn't bear it anymore: "If you don't have to think about it, your daughter-in-law will be pried away by the Xie family boy!"

Wei Yi was stunned: "Which Xie family kid?"

"Who else? Xie Shu!"

Wei Yizhi also noticed that Wang Luoxiu had thoughts about Xie Shu, but he never paid attention to the love of his children, and he was not sure whether his feelings were accurate. He didn't expect that even his mother said so.

"It also depends on what Xie Shu means? If His Majesty chooses, I guess he would rather marry the Wang family and the Wei family."

In fact, nowadays the imperial power is mostly controlled by aristocratic families, even if Wei Yizhi is determined to marry the Wang family, or marry any big family, he will definitely succeed.He was just using the emperor's hand to refuse, but these Mrs. Xiang would not understand, and he did not want her to understand.

It's better to be able to talk about your grandson every day than to be involved in family disputes.

Wei Yizhi wiped the sword lightly with the handkerchief, thinking to himself: I don't know what kind of woman Xie Shu would like...

Not long after, Wang Jingzhi personally escorted Lu Xihuan and Gu Chang to Jiankang.

Those who care about political affairs pay attention to the rebellion between Lu and Gu, while those who don't care only focus on this current romantic figure.

Doctor Guanglu Wang Mu hosted a banquet in honor of him, and Da Sima, who had cared for Wang Luoxiu, was naturally among them.Wang Jingzhi said that the prime minister was frightened in Kuaiji and that he was guilty, so he also solemnly invited Xie Shu.

Wang Mu held a banquet in the Changxu Pavilion in the mansion.There is a cool breeze at night in early summer, and the pavilions and pavilions are built near the water. The water surface reflects a day of stars and the surrounding bright lights, making people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Xie Shu praised one word from the bottom of his heart: "beautiful."

Wang Mu straightened his back proudly.

Sitting opposite Xie Shu, Wang Jingzhi toasted to her after the case. He laughed and said, "It's not just beautiful scenery, there are also beautiful people. I brought some beautiful singers from Kuaiji. The prime minister might as well appreciate them."

Xie Shu knew that the children of the aristocratic family often admired each other's divas and concubines, calling it romantic and uninhibited, so she didn't quite understand whether Wang Jingzhi wanted her to admire the diva's voice or appearance.

Wang Jingzhi clapped his hands, and soon several beautiful women walked into the pavilion, followed by several musicians with musical instruments in their arms. After bowing to the few present, they knelt down, played music and sang.

Xie Shu is an idiot in terms of rhythm, he doesn't know how to appreciate songs at all, and he doesn't have any interest in them, just to show Wang Jingzhi's face, he still has to put on a look.

Looking at her, she found that someone in Leren was also looking at her.
