Prime Minister dare not be

Chapter 72
Suddenly there was whispering around, Wei Yizhi was surprised, but he quickly recalled it, squeezed Xie Shu's palm and said: "Those are all gossip, you don't need to pay attention to it. Besides, you have to pay attention to it." Pay attention to the matter of Princess Yan."

Xie Shu sneered: "My mother is more expensive than her son now, can she still come?"

Wei Yizhi couldn't help laughing.

The portrait of the two of them was brought back to the mansion, and the discussions outside turned upside down.

The husband and wife have not seen each other for a long time, so they are naturally very affectionate.In the evening, Wei Yizhi held Xie Shu in a somewhat unruly manner, but she pushed him far away: "You can't touch me these days, I have to be careful when I'm healthy."

Wei Yizhi smiled and said: "Okay, the show is over, why are you still saying these words?"

Xie Shu looked at him in surprise: "Why, do you think I'm lying?"

This time, Wei Yizhi was surprised. He was stunned for a moment, and he sat up suddenly: "You...really...really?"

Xie Shu was amused by his appearance, turned over and said, "Believe it or not."

Wei Yizhi got off the bed in draped clothes, hurried out of the room, returned after a while, lay on the bed and hugged Xie Shu carefully, and only then smiled comfortably: "I asked Doctor Zhong, it turned out to be true." , am I dreaming?"

"Stupid." Xie Shu turned around and poked his forehead.

Wei Yi put his hand on her abdomen, still very careful, he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back, and finally just kissed Xie Shu's forehead: "You have worked hard."

Xie Shu smiled and said, "The baby hasn't been born yet, why am I working so hard?"

"In order to conceive him, you have also suffered a lot. When he comes out, you must teach him a lesson."

Xie Shu laughed again.

5. The bright moon of the year

In the 18th year of Yuanhe, Xie Shu was 12 years old.

Her daily life is to read and memorize, because she started too late, as long as there are books in the prime minister's mansion, she has to memorize, and every book has to be memorized, so that there are many things that she doesn't understand. Get through.

Xie Mingguang would test her every ten days. If she passed the test, there would be no reward, but if she made a mistake, there would be punishment.

The most punishing way at the beginning was not to give food.Xie Shu had been starving since she was a child, and she could bear it completely, but Mubai was not at ease, and often in the dead of night, she would quietly go to the ancestral hall where she was forced to kneel to give her food.

It was probably this loyalty that made Xie Mingguang later choose him to be Xie Shu's personal attendant.

Later, Xie Mingguang stopped punishing Xie Shu by starving. He found her weakness, and would deliberately satirize her mother whenever she made a mistake.

"If it wasn't for her negligence in discipline, you wouldn't be so useless at the age of 12!" This became what he said the most.

What Xie Shu couldn't bear the most was that his mother was humiliated. From then on, he worked hard to study and never slacked off.

In the prime minister's mansion, the flowers faded in spring and autumn, and the garden was trampled out of thin paths. Xie Shu got up every day before dawn, and hid in a corner where no one was around, reciting or memorizing.

What about the blood of common people?She has survived the difficult years in the past, but just learning to read and write, she does not believe that she is not as good as those children from aristocratic families who have been pampered since childhood.

In the 14th year of Yuanhe, Wei Yi was fifteen years old.

When he first entered the military camp, he became a commander because of his family status, but even many soldiers looked down on him.What people often say to him is: "Why do you want to join the army?"

At that time, Wei Yizhi was reticent and often looked towards the southeast of the capital. He had a delicate face and a delicate youth. In the military camp full of men, he was sometimes mistaken for a woman.

It was raining heavily the first day he entered the battlefield, and he rushed left and right in the battle formation without any rules, just slashing and killing blindly.

The first person to fall at his feet was a young man about his age. He killed the other party before the other party tried to kill him. He had a quick reaction that was rare among recruits, but he was not proud.

The rain washed away countless corpses and pooled into puddles of blood under his feet. After that, for a long time, this image hovered in his mind.

Later, a veteran comforted him, this was to defend the country, not to take the initiative to invade, and it was not a private fight to vent his anger, so he gradually let go.

Before coming, he thought, it would be great if he could make contributions and make his family famous.

Now he thought, it would be great if there were no more wars in this world.

From the 22nd year of Yuanhe, Xie Shu concealed his identity and entered the province as a small official.

No one knows her origin, only that her appearance out of thin air has reduced the official position by one more, and squeezed her out more.

Xie Mingguang knew this clearly, and said to her calmly, "Fix it yourself."

Xie Shu had no choice but to figure out how to get along with the children of these aristocratic families, how to reduce their hostility, and how to blend in with them.

She adapted to Xie Mingguang's request step by step, and changed in the direction he expected, without even noticing it herself.

At first, she used a folding fan to pretend to be elegant, but later she became flamboyant with just one look in her eyes, and all foreign things became the decoration of her person.

One day she came back from a gathering with her colleagues from Menxia Province, and when she passed by the clear pool in the garden, she looked down and saw the reflection in the water, and there was a handsome young man with a pink face and red lips, his posture and expression were perfect, which was strange to her.

She knew that she had finally turned herself into a son of a family, and the mountain girl who had just entered the prime minister's mansion had finally transformed into someone else in the past few years.She smiled at the reflection for a long time, asking Mu Bai who was following behind him to be puzzled.

In the 16th year of Yuanhe, Wei Yizhi became the vanguard, winning ten battles and winning ten battles.

In the second year, he was promoted to lieutenant general and had his own troops.He was the busiest this year, and he was present almost anywhere that was harassed by Qin Bing.

Once even the emperor couldn't help but said: "Yizhi is loyal to defending his family and the country, but he must do what he can, and he doesn't have to go to war every time."

Wei Yizhi thanked him, but still stubbornly went out again and again.

In the 20th year of Yuanhe, the Qin army once again entered the state of Jin. He was supposed to help, but his combat achievements were better than the main force.

The setting sun was like blood, he seemed to have returned to the day when he first went into battle, and there were corpses everywhere in front of his eyes, but he had long since lost the ups and downs of the past.

But even so, he never told his relatives and friends how he led thousands of troops to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, and how heroic the scene was.

He stood in front of the most tragic scene, acting as a barrier, leaving peace behind.

In this year, he was canonized as a general, and Wei's name spread all over the world.

In the 23rd year of Yuanhe, Xie Shu's father died. Since 24 years, Xie Mingguang's health has gradually deteriorated.

Everyone in the Xie family faintly felt the crisis.

Xie Shu was watched very closely, and there were many guards to protect her when she went in and out. She knew in her heart that she had become the designated successor of Xie's family.

It seemed that the situation in Jiankang City was the same, only the emperor was acting secretly.The Xie family persuaded Xie Mingguang several times to disclose Xie Shu's identity to prove that the Xie family is not empty, so as to deter the royal family.But Xie Mingguang said that the time has not come.

Until the 25th year, when his old man was lingering and sick, the emperor blatantly removed the military power controlled by the Xie family, and he still restrained himself.

He was betting that if Xie Shu was pushed out with the last remaining breath, the entire Xie family would regard her as hope and fully support her in ascending the throne.

Xie Shu is still around the door every day, she is now a servant.Impersonating an official position is a crime, and she also understands that she must sit in a higher position.

This road is straight forward, and there is no retreat behind.

Although Xie Mingguang was lying on the couch, he would ask Xie Shu to go to the couch almost every night, ask about some affairs she handled, and give comments.

At this time, he began to show family affection and love, and he spoke very kindly. The most common thing he said was: "You are too soft-hearted in this matter, but I hope you can save the entire Xie family. Soft-heartedness is not necessarily a bad thing."

Xie Shu understood that she hadn't really been approved by him, it just meant that it was time for her to formally walk in front of everyone.

From the 20th to the 22nd year of Yuanhe was the most difficult period for Xie Shu to study, but it was the most beautiful period for Wei Yizhi.

When he returned to Jiankang this year, his mother arranged a marriage for him, and the other party was the daughter of the Mu family.

The queen mother also nodded and praised that this was a good match, and he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed, and they made an appointment to get married the next year.

But not long after Xie Shu's father passed away in the second year, Xie Mingguang noticed that his body was starting to decline, and he wanted to pave the way for the future of his "grandson".

The famous Wei Yi's escape is too fast, and this momentum must be suppressed as soon as possible.He persuaded the emperor, and with the power of most of the court, he ran Wei Yizhi out of the capital.

Not long after he left, the daughter of the Mu family died of illness.

This account was naturally recorded on Xie Mingguang, and when he kicked his legs, it was naturally transferred to Xie Shu.

In the winter of Yuanhe 25, Xie Mingguang died of illness.

In the spring of the following year, Xie Shu stepped into the court when the Xie family lost military power but still controlled the court and became the youngest prime minister in the history of the Jin Dynasty.

In the spring of the same year, Wei Yi returned to the capital.

He swung his sword and cut off the corner of her clothes that was wrapped around the wheel, but he was polite when he saluted.

"Thank you for your courtesy."

"The King of Wuling is polite."

The two people who had no intersection at all met since then.
