Atypical Heroine - Chapter 64
Ji Yu did not go to court today.
In the cabinet, she deliberately summoned several important ministers alone.
Originally said to be discussing state affairs, but she first read the memorial in her hand in a serious manner, with a smile that is not a smile.
It was an urgent performance presented by Yuan Wei, the son of the Zuo Prime Minister last night.
Xuanzhou prefect was assassinated, she sent someone to investigate, and Yuan Wei sent such a memorial to find out that it was an evil spirit.
The Taoist priests have been invited to do the practice for three days.
The memorial then used thousands of words to describe in detail how the Taoist had magical powers.
This memorial is really outrageous.
All the ministers listened in silence.
Ji Yu had just read half of it, and Yuan Suqing, who had reacted, immediately stepped forward to plead guilty on his behalf.
But she still read it without looking up.
“…Kow down.” Public account YuriAcgn
Putting down the memorial, she seemed to have just seen Yuan Suqing, and asked in surprise, “What is the reason for Zuo Xiang?”
Since Ji Yu didn’t clearly say who sent the memorial, Yuan Suqing stepped forward and said, “The Xuanzhou case has made Your Majesty so concerned. Although the old minister’s son is in Xuanzhou, he can’t help His Majesty.”
“The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the old minister is really ashamed!”
Ji Yu smiled lightly, “I don’t know Zuo Xiang, but the county magistrate is indeed sharing my worries for me, and he handed this document.”
She said softly, “There are other words in it.”
Yuan Suqing’s complexion changed, and he leaned down and bowed to the ceremony, saying in pain, “I have no way to teach my son.
Ji Yu folded the memorial in her hand slowly, she sat facing south, looked at Yuan Suqing with a smile but not a smile, and said calmly, “Be calm and don’t be impatient, maybe the county magistrate is just comforting me, not I want to use ghosts and gods to quickly close the case.”
Yuan Suqing bowed his head deeply and saluted, still saying “Old ministers have no way to teach their sons, I am ashamed!”
“I hope Your Majesty will be punished.”
“Hey, Prime Minister Zuo is very old, don’t hesitate to make such a big gift.”
Ji Yu’s face has the same gentle smile, and his tone is also soft, he gently put down the book and said
“The county lieutenant is still young. He can not only investigate cases, but also understand ghosts and spirits. He is truly terrifying. He is so active in recommending me a Taoist who can understand ghosts and spirits. He is truly loyal to the king and patriotic.
She said that the future generations were dreadful, and the county magistrate Yuan Rongzhi was one year older than her.
The tone is cheerful and sincere, but everyone knows that these are polite words that are dismissed after hearing them.
Yuan Suqing knelt down for a while, but did not get up.
Ji Yu continued to comfort him a few words.
He got up after making another accusation, and suddenly asked himself to go to Xuanzhou to investigate the assassination of the prefect.
Xuanzhou is a long way to go, the weather is cold and the driving is exhausting.
This old bone was willing to leave the court to go to the prefect of the district to be assassinated on behalf of his son, which shows his love for his only son.
Ji Yu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and swept over the faces of several confidants who were eager to try, and his eyes moved slightly. Xuanzhou’s confused account, she wanted to find out, can only send another important minister to investigate.
Zhang Xianyun is too busy, and Song Xiaosheng, who is prone to trust other people’s words, is obviously not suitable for investigating the case.
The rest are not familiar with Xuanzhou, and they are at the mercy of others when they go.
Yuan Suqing was a capable minister. Since he dared to invite himself to Xuanzhou, he would definitely be able to give an explanation.
“Since that’s the case, I have to have Lord Lao,” Ji Yu quickly made a decision in his heart and replied with a smile, “Song Aiqing will also go with him, be his deputy, and take care of Lord Zuo Xiang on the road.”
Song Xiaosheng heard the words and stepped forward to give the order, and answered “Yes.”
No one in the Man Dynasty knew that the Iron Lady Song Xiaosheng grew up with Ji Yu, she was loyal, she could not lose to men with swords and guns, but she was not a female official who could take care of people.
Yuan Suqing raised his thick eyelids to look at Song Xiaosheng. He wanted to take her eyeliner and split half of the power. He rarely said anything against it.
Bowing down, his expression became more and more respectful and he said, “The old minister still has a ruthless request.”
Ji Yu picked up the teacup, “Lord Zuo Xiang, please speak.”
Yuan Suqing said, “When the old minister returned from Xuanzhou under the decree, he also hoped that His Majesty would dismiss the foolish son Yuan Rongzhi from his position.”
“…”
There was silence all around, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
Xie Huairou didn’t need to think about it, she instantly understood what Yuan Suqing wanted to do.
She frowned slightly, and she looked at Ji Yu calmly.
In the hall, there was only the slight thumping sound of the silver charcoal when it was about to burn out, and soon a maid stepped forward, swiftly and lightly putting on a new charcoal fire. It was snowing heavily outside the window, and it was freezing cold.
Only Ji Yu did not change his smile as usual, took a sip of tea, “Oh? I must have heard it wrong. The county magistrate has acted steadily and has never made any mistakes over the years. When the left prime minister returns, I will definitely do it for the county. Wei was promoted to office.”
Yuan Suqing usually agrees immediately with a smile when she expresses her intention like this.
This time, as if he didn’t understand, he bowed and saluted, insisting on saying, “The fool is not worthy, please ask Your Majesty to remove him from his position.”
He turned around and said, “However, his character and appearance are quite good. Although he is clumsy and clumsy, it is not pleasing enough, but it is also suitable for filling your majesty’s harem.”
“I don’t ask for the position of the main palace, but only ask the fool to serve by your Majesty’s side, that is the old minister… it is an honor for the whole family.”
Ji Yu “…”
She gave her a hand, and brought the tea cup to her lips to drink it, but she put it down in the end.
Song Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows and lowered his head to hold back the smile on his lips. The only eldest son.
This is sent to your side to show loyalty.
At this time, there was still more than half a year before the end of the national mourning. Yuan Wei entered the palace and could only be a servant with no rank.
Everyone looked down and waited, thinking that Ji Yu would definitely say something nice next, and promised to give some treasures to call Yuan Wei back to Beijing to serve.
Therefore, the smell of gunpowder smoke that was scattered between Xinjun and Zuoxiang dissipated, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the court was stable.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yu chuckled lightly, took off the lid of the cup, took another sip of tea, and then shook his head and said solemnly, “Rongzhi is a pillar of talent. What exactly is Zuo Xiang’s proposal depends on Rongzhi himself. mean.”
Rongzhi is Yuan Wei’s word.
Men and crowns have characters, mostly taken by teachers. Rongzhi is a supplement to the word Wei.
Calling the word means kinder.
To ask for his intentions like this before the next summons really gave Yuan Wei a decent amount of decency.
Zuo Xiang’s eyes flashed slightly, and he was thoughtful for a moment. Yuan Wei is his old son. Although he is stupid, his appearance is really good. When he was very young, he was praised by famous scholars as handsome as jade and as beautiful as a spring moon willow.
Dayan had rules, and his direct relatives were not allowed to serve as officials in one place, so Yuan Wei could go to Xuanzhou to serve as an adult. But Ji Yu was not restricted to the deep palace since she was a child. She had attended many banquets and court meetings beside the late emperor, and she should have met Yuan Wei a few times.
Did you pay attention?
Zuo Xiang bowed his hands and thanked the emperor, and said a bunch of flattering words.
After a few thoughts, the ministers from the left side took over the words in twos and threes, flattering her wise with various allusions.
Yuan Wei can have any opinion, he doesn’t mean what his father means.
Ji Yu obviously should come down.
…
dispersed.
Xie Huairou frowned, her sleeves rolled up, and she did not pick up Mrs. Tang, who was handed over by the palace maid. After thanking her, she was about to leave the palace. The cold wind outside the hall was blowing on her cheeks, and she looked coldly at the road ahead, her eyes seemed frozen.
She had had some contact with Yuan Wei, and her skin was indeed acceptable, and she was a complete trousers brother, with a straw bag.
Although Zuo Xiang said that he did not seek the position of the rightful palace, he thought it was a lie.
Ji Yu was still young, and it was a national mourning, and the harem was still in vain. Yuan Suqing took the lead of the minister and sent his son to the palace. As long as Ji Yu was pregnant, all officials and ministers would give it to him, and he would ask Yuan Wei to be the emperor’s husband to establish it. Central Palace.
Xie Huairou wanted to concentrate on thinking about the situation in the court after that, but her mind was frequently distracted. When Yuan Wei’s rush was sent to the palace last night, she was beside the holy car.
Hearing Ji Yu angrily scolded Zuo Xiang’s father and son for half an hour.
She was so calm and calm in the court today, gentle and gentle, all because she had given up all the pungent temper she should have had last night.
“…”
Ji Yu’s personal female officer chased after him and saluted, “Sir, Your Majesty, please come over.”
Xie Huairou was stunned before she regained her senses and raised her usual smile. As usual, he followed her into Ji Yu’s bedroom.
I don’t know what to discuss.
—
Ji Yu was playing with a small crystal clear jade vase, and he couldn’t put it down. The whole body of the vase was only the size of a thumb, but it was still carved with fine patterns.
When she saw her coming, she sent the crowd down, and threw the vase into the box.
Those eyes that were always full of smiles looked straight at him, with a rare lack of turning in his words, and asked, “How do you feel about Zuo Xiang’s proposal?”
“…”
Xie Huairou was stunned for a moment in her smile, unable to say what she was talking about. She lowered her eyes and replied respectfully with only the most correct sentence, “I think… Your Majesty thinks it is what you think.”
“How do I feel? I feel that Lord Xie is perfunctory me!”
“I dare not,” Xie Huairou remained silent, really reluctant to express her opinion on this matter.
Ji Yu tilted his head and smiled, approached at some point, “Sister is not happy?”
“…”
Xie Huairou couldn’t be rude to her, so she lowered her eyes from a very close distance and calmly replied, “No sir.”
“do not have it.”
Ji Yu’s cheek was getting closer and closer to her, Xie Huairou couldn’t help holding her breath, her eyes swayed, a pair of dark eyes under her long eyelashes stared at her, trying to calm herself.
next second.
She was wrapped around her waist by Ji Yu, and her cheeks pressed against her shoulders. After a moment of silence, she said with a muffled smile, “There’s no one around here. My sister can tell me a couple of truths, okay?”
She always smiled at her.
Xie Huairou’s heart softened suddenly, the most powerful person in the world, snuggled in her arms, acting like a spoiled child with her.
call her sister.
It’s like watching Ji Yu grow up. If possible, of course she would not let someone like Yuan Wei become her royal husband.
Xie Huairou was dumb for a moment, then said, “This minister thinks this is inappropriate.”
“…”
She didn’t see the momentary curvature of Ji Yu’s lips in her arms, and said solemnly, “Xuanzhou City is the hometown of the Zuo Prime Minister. When he was the prefect in his early years, he promoted many officials, disciples and former officials. He went to investigate. The case, I am afraid that it is inevitable to be deceived by others.”
She did not say who was blinded by whom.
Left side is blinded by others, or other…
Ji Yu nodded, this was something she had considered for a long time, and it was not that she was unprepared. Xie Huairou, who was finally forced to be smooth and defensive, stood on her side and said two words from her heart.
She half-squinted her eyes and was secretly rubbing her happiness.
Xie Huairou suddenly stepped back and saluted, “In the case of the assassination of the prefect of Xuanzhou, please entrust your majesty to the minister. I will not fail your majesty’s request.”
A simple sentence made Ji Yu stunned.
Xuanzhou is the territory of the Left Prime Minister. Even if Xie Huairou has great skills, if he really wants to find something, he will have to peel off the skin?
—
Xie Huairou stayed to accompany her for dinner as usual.
After eating, before the maid came to clean up, Ji Yu got up and said, “Come on, sir!” Holding her wrist, he took her to the side hall.
Xie Huairou knew that the affiliated country Xixia had just sent a batch of rare treasures and year-old coins into the palace.
Seeing her so happy, she couldn’t help but be a little curious about the treasure.
“These are said to be the food that Xia Jun sent to Dayan during the severe drought the previous year, and the other thanks to me are not included in the annual offering.”
Ji Yu took her to the side hall, folded his arms, his eyes swept over the piles of treasures with a hint of dignity.
“I originally thought that the southern border was just a small, remote country that suffered natural disasters, the people’s livelihood was devastated, and there must be few treasures. I didn’t expect it to be so fat.
Xie Huairou couldn’t help but curled her lips when she heard the words, “When Xia Jun heard this, he will definitely cry for several days.”
“He’s so arrogant, why are you crying?” Ji Yu walked over and picked up a warm, delicate and translucent jade stone and tossed it casually, “I heard Song Xiaosheng say that when they were delivered, they were just put on straws, with the worthless soil eggs. similar.”
By the moonlight and candlelight, the white fluorite was shining brightly, and there were various colors of jade beside it. The large piles of jewelry and jade were generously placed in wooden boxes, not wrapped in brocade.
Xie Huairou nodded and explained to her with a smile, “Xixia is barren, they don’t know how to weave brocade, and it is their best way to use straw as a bedding.”
Ji Yu suddenly realized that he nodded, and asked again, “So these can be considered treasures?”
“Xixia is only rich in these stones that can’t fill your stomach. Yingshichen has never seen them before. They must be fresh things that have just been mined.” She walked over and looked down at the quality of these jewels and jade, “Yunai Xiuyu, Xixia Almost everyone has it.”
“Everyone has it?”
Ji Yu frowned, “So worthless things, are they sending them to deceive me?”
The corners of Xie Huairou’s lips couldn’t help curving again, “Since Xia Jun also said that it was not included in the annual offering, he must just use special products to express his gratitude to His Majesty. These are all carefully selected top grades. “
“Besides, doesn’t your Majesty like it?”
She remembered that she liked some shiny and fragrant things the most when she was a child. The incense burner was always burning in the hall, and she sat on the soft blanket and played with the gold and silver jewelry in the queen mother’s jewelry box.
While other children were playing with money, she was throwing jewelry.
I thought she would be a very cute girl when she grew up.
Xie Huairou looked at her hairpin with almost no embellishments on her hair, and sighed in her heart that it is not always the same to look old at the age of three.
Ji Yu rolled up his sleeves and said solemnly, “At that time, I was naive and liked everything. Now that I am older, I only like valuables.”
Xie Huairou “…”
“Then Xixia is really a small place, with poor mountains and rivers,” Ji Yu pursed his lips, put back the Xiuyu in his hand with little interest, turned his head and took out the box next to him, “Sister, let’s take a look at this.”
There are calligraphy and paintings in the wooden box.
Ji Yu carefully unfolded the scroll to show Xie Huairou, “I know that my sister doesn’t like gold and silver jewelry, but this painting is clearly marked and can be appreciated, and it is Gu Zongzhi’s authentic work that has been lost for a long time. Wouldn’t it be too polite to celebrate my sister’s birthday?”
Her eyes are curved, and like a child waiting for her praise, she can’t wait to present her treasure, and when she’s happy, she doesn’t even bother to call me “Zhen”.
It could be seen that she had gone to great lengths to find this painting.
This painting is worth at least a thousand gold, and it is a waste to give it to someone who doesn’t know how to appreciate it.
Xie Huairou wanted to say that no merit is not rewarded.
“His Majesty…”
Seeing the look on her face, Ji Yu leaned back and interrupted her lazily, “No.”
“I haven’t spoken yet.”
“No.”
“…”
Ji Yu put away the painting, put it back into the box, and said without raising his eyes, “You can only thank Your Majesty, and no later turning points are allowed.”
Look at each other for a moment.
Xie Huairou’s lips held a helpless smile, and quickly changed to a happy expression to thank her.
Ji Yu rolled her eyes, she was happier to give her good things than to stay by her side.
His eyes swept to the pile of tributes.
A little curious, “You can tell it’s Xiuyu by looking at it. My sister doesn’t seem to love jade that much, so she is familiar with Xixia?”
Xie Huairou nodded, “This minister’s mother is the Xixia Renshi.”
“Cough,” Ji Yu almost knocked out a sip of tea, swallowed it reluctantly, and then choked and coughed a few times.
She just said that Xixia is a land of poor mountains and bad waters, and she immediately retorted, “Xixia has beautiful scenery, beautiful mountains and good water, no wonder it can give birth to people like my sister.”
Xie Huairou hurriedly took out the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her lips for her, patted her back, and bent her lower lip when she heard the words, “This minister is from Wu Jun and has never been to Xixia. My mother also came to Dayan because of the drought that year.”
“…Oh.”
Ji Yu took her hand and took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his lips lightly, and corrected without changing his face, “Wu County is blessed with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful, so it’s no wonder that she was able to give birth to such a beautiful sister.”
Xie Huairou didn’t speak.
There was just an unstoppable smile on his face.
Ji Yu puffed out his face, and when he turned his face, he saw the peaches in the fruit bowl next to him. She got up, wiped her hands with a wet handkerchief, took a knife, and cut the washed peaches in the fruit bowl into small petals.
She always doesn’t like letting others do it for her.
Xie Huairou helped her re-brew a cup of tea and watched her cut a whole peach. She liked to use small whips and knives since she was a child, and she played well. A peach was evenly divided, and her fingers didn’t even get the juice left behind.
Ji Yu wiped off the knife with satisfaction and threw it aside.
“Come here, sister.”
Ji Yu picked up a piece of peach flesh to feed her first, Xie Huairou’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t hide in the end, he opened his mouth softly and was fed a piece of pulp by her.
The entrance is soft and greasy, sweet.
Xie Huairou’s handkerchief was in her hand, and the juice was flowing down, so she had to lick the corner of her lower lip. As the peach flesh got smaller and smaller, it was inevitable that his lips would accidentally rub against Ji Yu’s fingertips.
Along with swallowing, she lowered her eyes and lowered her eyes, a little inexplicably abstinent.
Ji Yu’s eyes moved slightly. The website has been changed, the website has been changed, the website has been changed, everyone re-collects the new website, the new computer version, after everyone saves it, open it at the new website, the old website will not be able to open in the future,
