After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 56

It seems... the joke is a bit too much.

Shang Qingyao was too cooperative.

Xie Tangru smiled from the corner of his lips, adjusted his mood, and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty's words really flatter me, but how dare I be so presumptuous..."

"It's okay, I allow you." Shang Qingyao said.

Xie Tangru didn't know what to say to the emperor's blatant love.

He opened his mouth and thought, does Shang Qingyao know that the person in front of him who is so favored by him once wanted his life?

If Shang Qingyao knew, would he still be able to say such things calmly?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Xie Tang's eyelashes were half down, and the corners of his lips were bent: "Your Majesty's envoys are courteous, and ministers must be loyal to the king."

"I believe you." Shang Qingyao said.

.........

Knowing the news that his master was going to move into the palace, Jianshuang, who had never changed his expression in front of a mountain collapse, was at a loss for a long time, looking suspiciously at his colleague Xie Yuan, trying to find a possibility that he had heard it wrong.

It's a pity that Xie Yuan's more bewildered expression than her fully proved that she heard correctly.

that is the truth.

Jianshuang: "...why does your son suddenly want to move to live in the palace?"

"Because I can wake up more than half an hour later when I live in the palace." Shizi Xie's answer was straightforward.

This answer made Jianshuang feel as outrageous as hearing the rumors that Wei Guogong held his son in his palm and doted on him, but after thinking about it, it was indeed something her family's eldest son could do.

"Does the Duke know about this?" Jianshuang frowned lightly, "Maybe it's better to tell the Duke about this?"

To save Wei Guogong from thinking that his son died outside, he asked them to help with the funeral.

Xie Shizi stroked his chin and thought for a while: "I'll tell him tonight."

"Then I will immediately order people to prepare the son's things."

In terms of basic necessities of life, Xie Shizi has perfectly grasped the essence of the prodigal son, and there is nothing that does not want the best.Even the daughters of officials in Yuejing, I'm afraid they haven't been raised so meticulously.

While packing up her things, Jianshuang couldn't help thinking: Can His Majesty the Emperor really afford to support their family's heir?

Xie Yuan stood at the door with his chest folded, his brows furrowed: "Do you really think it's normal for the son to live in the palace?"

"Of course it's not normal. The palace is not an inn." Jianshuang almost rolled his eyes, "What's more, have you ever seen a courtier living in the palace instead of his own mansion?"

"Since you know, why don't you persuade the prince?"

Jianshuang pulled out a smile stiffly: "Do you think I can persuade the prince?"

Why did she mention Wei Guogong at this juncture? Isn't it because his own father is the only person in the family who still has a glimmer of hope to bring the son back?

It's a pity that Wei Guogong has always been unreliable as a real father.

Deeply disappointed Jianshuang.

-

After she packed the son's luggage together with her and stuffed it into the palace.

Xie Yuan was puzzled: "Your Majesty has always had rules in his actions, so that no accidents will happen in the palace. You don't have to worry so much, do you?"

"I'm not worried about the son's accident." Jianshuang smiled bitterly, "I'm worried that he won't be able to come out after entering the palace."

"The palace is not a magic cave..."

Jianshuang turned to look at him, thought about it seriously, and told him: "Do you know there is another word called happy to miss you?"

…………

Xie Tangru didn't understand the maidservant's good intentions at all. He had just finished taking a bath, and his long wet hair was scattered behind his head like a piece of soft brocade. Even his eyes were covered with misty water vapor, his lips were bright red, like New flowers stained with dew.

Shang Qingyao tightened his hand holding the memorial, and then raised his eyes: "Why don't you wear one more? It gets darker at night."

"The weather is still very hot, and it's not cold and snowy." Xie Tangru frowned, "Your Majesty, if you wear thicker clothes, I'll get sick from the heat even if I'm not sick."

His voice is also like after washing, with a careless and lazy meaning, which draws people into a sweet dream.

"It's snowing in Liangzhou at this time." Shang Qingyao put down his pen and suddenly said softly.

Liangzhou is one of the frontiers bordering on the grassland nomads, and it has always been desolate and cold.

Xie Tangru tilted his head: "There are often snow particles in Beijing only during the New Year's Eve. Your Majesty has stayed in Liangzhou for so long, what kind of snow is there in Liangzhou?"

"It's very big. It's very thick." Shang Qingyao said to him after a moment of silence, "After August, Liangzhou began to snow, not a single blade of grass grew, and there was no food. Many people's bodies were buried under the snow. Know how many corpses lie beneath your feet."

Shang Qingyao's tone was exceptionally calm, but it made the original smile on Xie Tangru's face disappear immediately.

He sighed: "I don't know that."

He grew up in the rich and rich silk fabrics since he was a child. Although there were a few injustices, compared to being starved for thousands of miles, it was nothing more than a difference.

He thought for a while, or Shang Qingyao said a few words: "You are a good monarch, Liangzhou will not have the snow that freezes so many people to death in the future."

Xie Tangru really thought that Shang Qingyao, the emperor, was hundreds of times better than the first emperor. If it was him, the snow in Liangzhou would probably not be so heavy.

"Well." Shang Qingyao said, "The three states in the north have all been exempted from taxes this year, but the late emperor built a palace, and the treasury was empty. Fortunately, when the officials of the three states ransacked their homes, they confiscated several million taels of snowflake silver, which was just in exchange for it. Cotton and food for the winter. But doing this every year is not an option. The climate in Liangzhou is too cold, and many soldiers and soldiers in good health suffer from frostbite and freeze to death every year, let alone ordinary people. It is really not suitable for living. Migration, the people are unwilling to move away from their homeland."

He looks like he has a headache.

Moreover, the three states in the north are the most important line of defense against the grassland cavalry, and it is impossible to give up completely.

Shizi Xie, who has always been eloquent, didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little rejoiced that the crown prince was not elected at that time.If the abolished prince ascends the throne, neither the abolished prince nor himself can do better than Shang Qingyao.

Xie Tangru knew this very well.

——Because he has no common people in his heart.

He might have a little idea of ​​why he lost to Shang Qingyao in the dream.

Not entirely unexpected.

"My mother left me some money before she was alive. It's useless for me to hold it in my hand. I might as well exchange it for some charcoal for you." Xie Tang's eyelashes drooped like butterfly wings, and when he raised his eyes again, they were still the same. A casual attitude that seems to be indifferent to everything.

The author has something to say: I edited it again.
