Chapter 673

In the evening, under the dim candle light, the emperor, song Xijiao, Zhao Jie and Ji Bowen sat around a small table and had dinner together.

It was the first time that Ji Bowen shared food with the emperor at the same table. He was so nervous that he couldn't hold his chopsticks. He dropped several times. He didn't dare to clip the dishes in the distance. He only ate rice.

Zhao Jie is quite calm.

Anyway, he has resigned, and now he is a common people. Even if he angers the emperor, he will be given a life. He has no worries, no wife and children, no high court, and he is alone. What's to be afraid of!

Therefore, he ate big mouthfuls of meat and ate the plate of beef in front of the emperor without politeness. He did not regard the emperor as the emperor at all.

"Well, your majesty, is it to your taste?"

Song Xijiao watched the emperor stare at Zhao Jie for several times. She was about to break out. She quickly opened her mouth to help the emperor divert her attention.

When the emperor heard song Xijiao's voice, his anger immediately subsided. He said with a smile, "it's a little worse than the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen in the palace. However, it doesn't have a flavor."

Zhao Jie said: "the imperial kitchen in the palace makes all kinds of delicacies, rare birds and animals. What our girls do is common food. Can that be the same? These potatoes, pods, Chinese cabbage and rape, if you give them to the chef, they can't do anything to do! "

“……”

The emperor stopped talking. He glanced at Zhao Jie with his white eyes. Just about to speak, he was intercepted by song Xijiao.

"Then I'll get your majesty some wine and let him taste my new wine."

She got up and went to the cellar to get a jar of wine, poured a full bowl for the emperor, and another bowl for Zhao Jie and Ji Bowen. She only hoped that these men would go to bed when they were drunk and stop dawdling on the table. She would have to accompany her, waste time, get textbooks later, and keep them in the middle of the night.

"Well, good wine!"

After drinking a mouthful of wine, even the emperor who had drunk the world's best wine could not help but exclaim.

This wine has a mellow, strong aroma, and also has the sweet and sour taste of grapes. It is the best one among all the wine he has drunk in his life!

"You are a wonderful wine made from grapes! Even in the palace, I have never drunk it. "

Song Xijiao nodded and just wanted to smile. Then her eyes brightened and she said, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter has an unfeeling request."

……

The palace.

The weather gradually turned warm, but the fire in the east palace had not been removed, because chestnut was ill.

He lay on the bed, coughing, and was patted on the back by the maiden. Then he frowned impatiently and waved: "you go down. I want to sleep for a while."

"Yes, master."

The two maids looked at each other, so they had to get up and walk to the side of the ear room.

"How can I see that the master's illness is more serious than yesterday?"

"Who said no, but Hao Lang Zhong is not in the palace now, and all the imperial doctors Ah, do you want to go to the imperial study to inform his royal highness? "

"Farewell! The last thing the master wants is to trouble his royal highness. We'd better wait and see. "

They rustled here, thinking that the chestnuts were sleeping soundly and could not hear them. In fact, he lay on his side with his eyes open, and he had already heard them clearly.

His illness, indeed, was more serious than yesterday.

Because he didn't take any medicine at all.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer. It seems that another year will pass, but his mother has not come to see him in the palace.

Thinking of the past when he was ill, his mother was worried and stayed with him at home. He came up with such a bad idea. If he was seriously ill, would his mother be distressed and would not give up on him, and would like to see him?

But he has been sick for five or six days, why there is no news about his mother.

Imperial study.

Cang Wu is discussing state affairs with his new cabinet minister.

Now there are only four members in the cabinet: Zhou Yuanli, Zhang Zongmin, Wang Ningqiang and yuan an.

These four people are young, vigorous and vigorous, and have not yet established a firm foothold in the imperial court. Such people are most suitable for attracting and cultivating.

He needs his own confidants, and also needs to cultivate a group of confidants who can share his worries and solve difficulties for him in the future, and can make him feel at ease.

"Your Majesty, after the battle, Meng Xinghe still leads his troops to garrison Xianming pass. I'm afraid there is something wrong in his mind. We have to guard against it."

Cangwu smell speech a smile: "mengxinghe is famous all over the world, invincible, and there is a Zong family, who has that mind, he will not have, also dare not have."

"Not necessarily! You know, although there are less than 20000 soldiers under Meng Xinghe, these soldiers are all elite soldiers. Among them, there are more than 3000 cavalry that can not be stopped. All of them are his confidants and only listen to his orders. At that time, even if he doesn't have that kind of mind, he will have the military power in his hand. I'm afraid it will not be easy for your highness to hold him. "

After that, Cangwu's face changed slightly.It is not that he has not considered these matters.

If you want to say rebellion, Meng Xinghe can't do anything about it. However, if Meng Xinghe returns to the imperial court in the future, if he cultivates his own confidants and makes great changes in the court, even if he becomes the emperor, he will not dare to do anything about him. He can only let him go.

Breaking such a gap, if he wants to enforce the law impartially and deal with other people, it will inevitably cause other people's dissatisfaction.

He is not a good emperor.

"However, Meng Xinghe has just made great achievements. He is brave, brave and straightforward, which is well known by the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty. Moreover, even the people in the people's Republic of China highly praised him. If I catch his pigtail and punish him at this time, I'm afraid it will cause public resentment. "

Yuan'an arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, mengxinghe is indeed a meritorious fighter. But in all dynasties, which emperor was not a lackey and did his best to hide his bow? The greater the credit, the more miserable the outcome is. Why? It's not that the emperors are afraid that these ministers will be so powerful that they will not be able to deal with the aftermath.

What's more, according to the war report, the contribution of the girl surnamed song is greater than Meng Xinghe, and Meng Xinghe also highly appreciates this girl of song. Why don't your highness try to put the credit on that girl? "

Cangwu was stunned, turned his head, and looked at Yuan'an with an incredible face.

If he didn't know this man well and knew that he didn't have any other thoughts except his passion for the country, he would have thought that this man knew his relationship with song Xijiao, and he would have flattered him by being kind and obedient!

These days, he tossed and turned, always considering whether to call song Xijiao directly into the palace and give her a reward.

Unexpectedly, he did not think of how to implement it, but yuan an put it forward first!
