Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 24

The sun is warm and the spring grass is flourishing. In the forest, there is only the rustling of the branches and leaves in the wind.The huge Leyou Garden is very quiet, and no one wants to disturb their prey.

Xie Shu rode his horse slowly into the woods, with a longbow and quiver on his back, but his expression was absent-minded. While holding an arrow and beating his palms, he planned to find a place to rest.

Hunting is so boring, when the Ninth Prince is gone before going out, those ministers still dare to laugh at her?

What a coincidence, the prey actually appeared in front of him.When Xie Shu saw that it was a fat white rabbit, he immediately became interested, but only after taking the bow and arrow did he realize how much strength it takes to draw the bow.

She simply tiptoed off the horse, intending to grab it with her hands.This is much more difficult than shooting with an arrow, so she is much better than those children from aristocratic families, okay?

It was gradually approaching, and it was about to succeed, when the rabbit suddenly ran away.Xie Shu stood up annoyed, and Wei Yizhi stood opposite him with a narrow face.

"What is Xie Xiang talking to the rabbit?"

"Oh, it said it was the reincarnation of the Jade Rabbit in Guanghan Palace, so I will tell it how to escape from your evil hands."

Wei Yizhi suddenly realized: "It's really a sin to almost hunt the fairy. Thank you for thinking of everyone."

"It's natural." Xie Shu was in no mood to continue chatting with him, and turned around to leave.

Wei Yizhi took a step forward and said, "I heard that you were asked to hunt by the Ninth Prince, but is it true?"

Xie Shu turned to look at him, and suddenly sneered: "This has nothing to do with King Wuling."

Wei Yizhi frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Xie Shu stopped in his tracks, with a solemn expression on his face: "It's okay if we meet at this time, and when there is no one around, we can just speak clearly. The truth is that King Wuling has different political views after all. Don't communicate in private."

"What did you say?"

"I said you and I will break up friendship starting today."

There was silence everywhere, and Wei Yizhi was silent for a long time before he said: "You say that, you just want to get rid of me, right? Although you and I have different political views, I really love you."

Xie Shu sneered: "The King of Wuling should put away his disguise. You are not very masculine, so why pretend to be interested in me. Who was going to Kuaiji to propose marriage last winter? If the Queen Mother was not seriously ill, I'm afraid you are already dead. Now that you have a beautiful wife, why bother to deceive yourself?"

It's fine if she doesn't talk about it, but when Wei Yizhi said it, he became angry. If it wasn't for her, how could there be such a thing as a marriage proposal.

Xie Shu turned around and left. Just a few steps away, his arm was grabbed, and Wei Yizhi held her against the tree trunk.

"I'm not interested in other men. It's really not manly. I said I only like you."

Xie Shu struggled, but did not break away: "Is the King of Wuling trying to be rude to the truth?"

Wei Yi held her chin with one hand, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

Xie Shu was furious, and waved his hand, which was held by him.

Those lips pressed down heavily, then gradually slowed down, and when they left, they lingered on her cheeks again, reluctant to part.

"Should you trust me now?"

Xie Shu gritted his teeth: "The truth is the head of all officials, and you are the one who commits the crime!"

Wei Yizhi looked into her eyes: "I can only see that you are Xie Shu."

Xie Shu was taken aback by his expression.

Wei Yizhi took an arrow from the quiver behind her, turned around and left.

It wasn't until he couldn't see his back at all that the shame, anger and annoyance in Xie Shu's heart welled up in his heart.

The more you try to alienate him, the worse he will become.He just took advantage of it for nothing, and no one would believe him if he told it.This is the virtuous king praised by the ruling and opposition parties?
She wiped her lips and gave a hard pooh.

When the hunting is over, everyone gathers together to count the prey.

The eunuch was busy, Sima Ting turned his head to find Xie Shu in the crowd, and said loudly on purpose: "Take a good count, don't miss the prime minister."

Everyone else found it inconceivable that the frail and delicate prime minister couldn't even draw his bow, how could he be able to hunt prey?
Xie Shu smiled nonchalantly, even if he couldn't find even a single hair, what can you do to me?

Needless to say, Wei Yizhi was the one who took the top spot. Among the other aristocratic sons, Yang Zao had the most harvest, Yuan Peiling followed closely behind, and among the princes, Sima Ting took the first place.

Seeing that the order was about to be finished, and he hadn't heard Xie Shu's name, Sima Ting became more and more proud.

"Ah, the prime minister's is here." A little eunuch took down the blood-stained feather arrow and handed it to everyone present. Xie Shu's name was indeed written on it.

How can it be!Sima Ting looked at Xie Shu angrily.

Xie Shu himself was also very surprised, and suddenly remembered that Wei Yizhi had taken an arrow from him before, and turned to look at him.

Wei Yizhi's black clothes were sharp, his eyebrows were focused, he exchanged a glance with her, and reined in his horse to leave.

Xie Shu frowned, he wouldn't be really interested in him, would he?

The spring is endless, and the long dream never wakes up.

Wei Yizhi walked around the screen and saw a woman in red sitting at the table writing.When he walked over, she raised her head, her eyebrows were adorned with make-up and thrush, and her appearance was stunning.

"Ruyi?" Wei Yizhi sat down holding her hand, in disbelief.

Xie Shu leaned into his arms, didn't know what to say, and smiled softly.

He couldn't hear clearly, he stretched out his fingers to press her lips, and couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her, touching her soft lips, just like when he met them in the woods.

At that time he was hesitant and didn't dare to fall into it, but now he was sure that she was a woman, and he was so overjoyed that he couldn't extricate himself...

Eyes opened suddenly, it was a dream.

Wei Yizhi sat up and held his forehead.

Unable to fall back to sleep, he just put on his clothes and got out of bed. He lit the candle, sat at the desk and wrote a pen, meditated for a moment, drew a pen and sketched it, and wrote down the appearance of Xie Shuwan smiling in his dream.

Qiao Xiaoqianxi, Gu Pansheng posture.

There is only one sentence in the signature: "There are trees in the south, you can't stop thinking about it; there are wandering girls in Han Dynasty, you can't think about it."

He put down his pen, and smiled helplessly: "Try and try, in the end I still lose."

In April of the 27th year of Yuanhe, Wang Jingzhi, the governor of Kuaiji and the right general, joined Jiankang as the prince and Taifu, which meant that the Wang family, which had been suppressed by the Xie family for many years, embarked on the road of revitalization.

Mrs. Xiang was very excited and urged Wei Yizhi to propose marriage several times.

"Didn't you keep saying that you are really determined to get married this time? Now that the queen mother is in good health and the Wang family has arrived in Jiankang, why don't you make any moves?"

Wei Yizhi shook his head: "I'm afraid that if I go to propose marriage now, they won't agree."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xiang thought that he was evading again, and said angrily: "I will go to see Luoxiu another day, don't make excuses!"

It seems that the time of Wang Xie Tonghui has been restored in Wuyi Lane.On the Wang family mansion, a plaque was hung again, with the inscription of Wang Jingzhi's relatives on it.

Mrs. Xiang drove over, and Wang Luoxiu naturally greeted her kindly, but her words were rather sophisticated, and there was no intimacy like before.

As for Wang Jingzhi, he didn't see him at all.

Mrs. Xiang saw the clue, she was surprised and lost, and she was still feeling emotional when she returned to the mansion, the change was so fast, it was unbelievable.

"How could this be? It shouldn't be..."

The housekeeper heard the news from nowhere, and told her: "I heard that the prime minister recommended Wang Inspector Wang's sudden promotion to become a tutor. Maybe there is a reason for this."

Mrs. Xiang was furious again when she heard the words: "It must be the Xie family who has won over the Wang family, no wonder the Wang family has changed their minds! Hmph, I really hope that he will never find a wife!"

She was angry and still not relieved, so she wanted to talk to Wei Yizhi, but when she went to his residence, she saw him sitting alone at the table in a daze, with a pile of frontier military newspapers in hand.

She thought something serious happened, so she quietly asked Fu Xuan at the door: "What's wrong with the county king?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Fu Xuan pursed his lips tightly. If it was because of the Prime Minister, the Da Sima Mansion would never have peace...

After Wang Jingzhi's arrangement was settled, he would naturally come to pay respects to the prime minister who had the kindness to support him.

Xie Shu entertained him in the study, dressed in a snow-white toga, sitting alone behind the desk, with green bamboos and red flowers outside the window behind her, just adorning her jade face and vermilion lips.

Wang Jingzhi tied his long hair loosely with ribbons, wore a wide-sleeved robe, and stepped on wooden clogs.He didn't come alone today, he was holding a boy of seven or eight years old, his eyebrows were somewhat similar to his, but his expression was a bit more solemn than his.

After Wang Jingzhi saluted, he ordered the boy to salute, and introduced: "This is the dog Yunzhi, I specially brought him here to meet the prime minister, so that I can see his demeanor."

Xie Shu laughed and said, "It's the truth that has witnessed your son's demeanor."

Wang Yunzhi bowed respectfully, humble and polite.

Xie Shu smiled, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.Wang Jingzhi's son seems to be able to become a great talent, but the Xie family has no good seedlings so far, and she is disguised, and it is wishful thinking to have her own child.

Really stimulated!

Wang Jingzhi is a smart person, he would not immediately turn to Xie Shu because of a little favor, and go with her, chatting about romance and gossip, except for government affairs.

Xie Shu didn't expect to win him over either, so he followed his words, talking around the little boy Wang Yunzhi.

Wang Jingzhi said that this was his only son, and that he was a direct descendant.But Xie Shu remembered that he hadn't seen his wife the last time he went to Kuaiji, and he thought he was not married yet, so he couldn't help being surprised, so he took the opportunity to ask questions.

Wang Jingzhi said: "It's a pity to say that my wife and I have known each other since childhood and had a very close relationship, but later passed away due to dystocia. It can only be said that the world is impermanent."

Xie Shu couldn't help feeling emotional: "Looking at the many beauties in Wang Taifu's residence, I thought they were passionate people, but they turned out to be infatuated people."

Wang Jingzhi shook his head: "Love and love are not the same."

Xie Shu raised his eyebrows, forget it, in this regard, she is definitely no match for a veteran in love like him, it's better to shut up.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Jingzhi suddenly thought of her masculinity, and it's better not to mention the love between men and women, so he also shut up.

After Wang's father and son left, Xie Ran came out from behind the screen.He listened to what Wang Jingzhi said for a long time, and also secretly saw that Wang Yunzhi, who was severely stimulated just like Xie Shu.

"The prime minister still needs to take good care of his body, and the Xie family will be prosperous for generations to come."

Xie Shu was very melancholy: "If possible, I would rather exchange my two cousins ​​for his son from the Wang family."

"...If it is Xie Dun and Xie Ling, the Wang family will definitely not agree." Xie Ran called Mubai, "Is the medicine for the prime minister ready today? Hurry up and bring it."

Xie Shu looked at the decaying orchids by the window, and his heart ached like a knife.

Fangfei is gone, and early summer has just arrived.

Xie Shu was thrown a load of sachets on the way up, all of them were exquisite, filled with medicinal materials such as cinnabar, realgar, fragrant medicine, etc., because the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, it meant to avoid evil and drive away plague.

She picked a few, and the more she looked at them, the more she admired them. How could there be such a clever needlework in the world?Sure enough, being a woman is much more difficult than being a man!
When he came back and entered Wuyi Lane, the car suddenly stopped, Mubai got out of the car, and came up after a while, holding a sachet in his hand: "My lord, just now the servant girl of the Wang family stopped the car and gave you this sachet .”

"Wang's family?" Xie Shu took it, and was very surprised to see the word "Xiu" embroidered on the corner.

Wang Luoxiu actually gave her a sachet?Not so good.But thinking about it carefully, no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for the Wang family to come to marry her. After all, Wang Jingzhi's goal is to surpass the Xie family, not to prosper together.So Wang Luoxiu's move should be her own idea.

Xie Shu touched his face, and thinking about Wang Luoxiu's gentle and virtuous appearance, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

Above the court, because of the joining of Wang Jingzhi, a new atmosphere began to emerge.But he was very mediocre, even though most of the Wang family believed that the Wang family could skyrocket from then on, he didn't take it seriously.

Today's Xie Shu is no longer someone who could be easily taken away in Kuaiji a year ago, and her status has become more and more stable.After suppressing the abolition of the crown prince, almost all of the crown prince's side were replaced by people from the Xie family. Even if he was a grand tutor, he might not be able to do anything.Although Xie Shu supported him, he would never make another opponent for himself, and must have other purposes.So what Wang Jingzhi can do is to remain neutral.

There is no major event in the DPRK, but worrying news keeps coming from the frontier.

Last year, Qin State's plan to invade Tuyuhun was still in sight, but this year they couldn't hold back anymore.

One month ago, Qin State sent 30 troops to the border, led by Tuoba Kang, who was good at fighting fast.He ordered people to attack the city at night, smashing the border city of Tuyuhun, and then fought swiftly all the way, occupying three cities in a row, and was about to advance to the hinterland of Tuyuhun.

The Lord of Tuyuhun sent troops to resist, and at the same time asked Jin for help again.At such a critical time, Wei Yizhi was not in the court, and no one knew where he had gone.

Above the golden palace, the emperor looked hesitant: "It's not impossible to support, but Tuyuhun has sought asylum from the Jin Dynasty several times, but he didn't know how to submit himself as a minister. I feel that it is inappropriate."

Xie Shu came out and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, but your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. It is better to send troops to support. In my opinion, I can send Hussar General Yang Qiao to lead troops to support, and then send envoys with the army. After the war is settled It is time to raise this matter with Tuyuhun King, and it should be done."

The emperor nodded: "That's fine, thank you for making arrangements for the envoys. As for the generals, King Wuling has already arrived in Ningzhou secretly, so let him go."

Xie Shu frowned. He didn't expect that he would go to the border quietly after being away for a few days.

Outsiders may think that she proposed Yang Qiao to lead the army because she wanted to deprive Wei Yizhi of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but the reasons are far more than that.

The last time Wei Yizhi went to Tuyuhun and met Huya, it already made her deeply uneasy.Later, seeing that Wei Yizhi's behavior was abnormal, he specially wrote to Lord Tuyuhun to inquire about it, but he couldn't find the reason.
