thank you + extra

Liu Zao casually tugged on the rein, intending to go out, but her body froze when her eyes swept over the carriage in the middle.

This is Xie Xiang's car.

Xie Yi over there heard the sound and looked over.

The two just looked at each other.

Chapter 59

Liu Zao couldn't remember the last time when their eyes met.It seems that there was a time in Ganquan Palace last year.

There are always some people who love to criticize, and there are always some people who don't know the difficulties of others and judge right from wrong based on their likes and dislikes.Last year, she dealt with the Liang family, punishing Liang Ji and his sons, grandsons and clan members as ordinary people.The queen mother moved into Nagato to meditate on her past.

After a decree, less than two months later, a madman surnamed Zhao came to judge, saying that the emperor was mean to his mother, and he was a man with no kindness.This man also took up the post of a doctor in the court, and in front of the courtiers, he expressed his criticism.

Annoyed, Liu Zao imprisoned him and handed over to Ting Wei for punishment.Afterwards, the Sangong and Jiuqing were summoned to ask how many people still had this argument.

The prime minister has the responsibility of overseeing the overall situation.If you make a mistake, the emperor will not pursue it. If you do, the prime minister will have to apologize.

She was furious at that time, and for a moment she forgot what had happened, and her tone of questioning her subordinates was very severe.

Xie Xiang knelt down and pleaded guilty.

She knelt before her, bowing her body.Liu Zao couldn't see her being so humble, but she couldn't help but want to look at her carefully, Xie Xiang fell on the ground, so she wouldn't notice the nostalgia in her eyes.

She paused for a few breaths, slowed down her tone, and ordered Xie Xiang to stand up.

But she really missed it too much, and it was really hard to let go, the affection in her eyes slowed down, and she happened to meet Xie who raised his head.She immediately turned her eyes away as if unintentionally, and looked at the other ministers.

After that, she didn't dare to look at Xie Xiang's expression, for fear that she would feel troubled and that she would regard her thoughts as a burden.

However, after the ministers left, she couldn't help recalling the short moment when they looked at each other, and recalled the moment of Xie Xiang's gaze over and over again.But the moment they looked at each other in the blink of an eye, after she recalled it over and over again, it seemed like an eternity.

After nearly a year, they actually met in this small inner door.

Liu Zao was at a loss, and Xie Yi was also in an accident, so he stopped the car, got out of the car and walked over.Liu Zao tightened her grip on the rein and was about to get off the horse, but when she lifted her body, she remembered something and sat back down again.

Xie Yi went to the horse and bowed.

Liu Zaogao sat on the horse and said calmly: "Prime Minister, no courtesy."

Xie Yi straightened up, looked behind her, and asked, "Your Majesty is from the old house?"

Liu Zao looked ahead and said, "That's right." Seeing that Prime Minister Xie was also going out and returning, thinking that today coincided with Xiumu, he would not have come from the government office.When she goes out during the day, is she going to a banquet or to visit friends?

She wanted to ask a question, but after thinking about it, she held back and said to Xie Yi: "I have gone back to the palace, thank you, please feel free."

Hearing this, Xie Yi raised her sleeves to salute, and stepped aside to let His Majesty's horse pass by.

The two staggered away.

She didn't ask any questions, but the questions stuck in her heart.When Liu Zao returned to the palace, he couldn't stop thinking, where did Prime Minister Xie go?From what she knew, Prime Minister Xie didn't have any particularly close friends in the court, and her relatives were also very indifferent, and she didn't like to hang out in the market on weekdays, so why did she go out today?

Grandma's words popped into my mind unexpectedly.

"The prime minister is also unreliable in marriage."

Liu Zao stopped abruptly, his heart felt as if it was being boiled in an instant.

Seeing that she stopped suddenly, Hu Ao hurried forward to wait for orders.Liu Zao cast his eyes on him, held back the sharp pain in his heart, and asked casually, "Did the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony be delivered to Nagato Palace?"

It turned out to be for this matter.Hu Ao replied respectfully: "I sent someone to send it early in the morning."

Liu Zao nodded and said, "Don't let the place lack food and clothing, and tell the palace servants to serve you wholeheartedly."

Hu Ao agreed: "No."

Liu Zaofu went forward again, entered the announcement room, changed his clothes, sat behind the long case, and turned over the copy.Hu Ao saw that there was nothing to do here, so he asked people to take raw bamboo tubes from the old house, so that they could be roasted raw and used as food.

After the raw bamboo tube is roasted, put the fresh and fragrant millet into the plate carefully, and serve it to Liu Zao.Liu Zao used the lower half of the tube, ordered it to be removed, and continued to read the case until midnight before returning to the bedroom to rest.

This is normal routine.Your Majesty is diligent in administration, and every time he reads the memorials, he always arrives at midnight, and when he is busy, he will delay it by half an hour or an hour.The next day is Maoshi.Take a nap for half an hour at noon to recuperate.This is true every day.

Seeing that the emperor was fine, Hu Ao felt relieved. When he met Prime Minister Xie Xie in the daytime, His Majesty responded indifferently, and there was nothing unusual when he returned to the palace. It can be seen that he really let go.

But Liu Zao didn't know that he went back to the bedroom and slept on the bed alone.There was no one in the hall, and she was finally able to show her vulnerability for a moment, curled up, and endured the pain in her heart.

When she woke up the next day, Liu Zao had a headache, she tried her best to pull herself together, but her dark eyes couldn't deceive anyone.The palace people were very worried, fearing that His Majesty would feel unwell.

Liu Zao only said indifferently: "It's hot and sleepless, clean up the Qingliang Hall."

When Hu Ao heard the words, he went to do it immediately.

After such a delay for a while, when they went to the announcement room, they were a moment late, and met Xie Yi, Li Wen, and Zong Zhengqing who were going to the announcement room together.

The two met, and the three saluted.Liu Zao paused, and asked with a smile, "Why did the three lovers enter the palace?"

Prime Minister, Ting Wei, Zong Zhengqing, the three of them rarely get together.Needless to say for the time being, Xie Yi, Li Wen is a member of the emperor, so he doesn't have much contact with the other ministers, and he discusses a lot with his own party.Zong Zhengqing is an elder of the clan, and he is a bit lazy, so he will try his best not to get involved in things if he can.

The three of them walked together, which made Liu Zao feel strange.

Xie Yi was in a high position, so she took the initiative to answer: "I do have something to report to Your Majesty."

Liu Zao's eyes lowered slightly, he seemed to be facing Xie Yi, but he didn't meet her eyes, he just smiled and said, "If you have something to do, come with me."

As she said, she went to the hall, and the three of them followed.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Liu Zao ordered a seat to be set up.The ministers also sat down one by one.Xie Yi presented a memorial, Hu Ao stepped forward to take it, and presented it to Liu Zao.

"It's for the restoration of the old Liehou's family." Li Wen reported.

This is the first time this has been brought up.When Liu Zao heard him speak, he thought that the memorial was also written by him, and submitted it to the Prime Minister's mansion first, and then submitted it.After opening it, it was Xie Yi's handwriting.

Her fingertips stroked gently over the word "Chen Yi" at the beginning of the melody, and that word Yi entrusted all her tenderness. Just by looking at it, Liu Zao felt that her headache was relieved, and it was not so uncomfortable.

Li Wen reported it carefully.Liu Zao straightened his mind, glanced over, grasped the general idea, and listened to him.

This matter was brought up by Xie Xiang.Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have been many heroes, but there are only a few of these heroes who have survived to this day. In the reign of Emperor Wu alone, many princes were dismissed.Many of these old families are now living in poverty, with no one offering sacrifices, and the situation is quite bleak.The emperor is worthy of grace, in the name of all benevolence and righteousness.

There are two advantages to this matter. One is the matter of the Empress Dowager last year, which somewhat makes people think that His Majesty is benevolent. Second, there are many available people in the old family.

This is a good time to cultivate a confidant.Liu Zao has no reason why he shouldn't.

"The three love ministers will decide to do it at their own discretion, and draw up a list first." During Gaozu's reign, all the princes had made great contributions to the Han family, so they should be treated very favorably. There are also many old families with heavy ties, such as the Wei family, Also be extra generous.

The three agreed in unison, and then talked about who they were.

Liu Zao also listened carefully, considering the suitable candidate.

"Yesterday, Xie Xiang went to the Wei family's court. I heard that the second and third sons of Marquis Changping Lie are quite talented and have no bad deeds. They can return to their family." Li Wen said.

Marquis of Lie in Changping is Wei Qing, and Lie is his posthumous title.When Wei's family was cooking oil over a fierce fire, there were five lords from one family, and the three sons under their knees were all sealed as lords.The last three sons lost their marquis successively because of the appendix.The eldest son was involved in witchcraft and died. The second and third sons are still alive. They are small officials in the court, but they have long lost the power they used to.This reunification, based on the kinship between His Majesty and the Wei family, one of the two must be restored to the rank of Marquis.

Liu Zao's attention was all on the line "Yesterday I thanked Mr. Wei for going to Wei's court".

It turns out that Prime Minister Xie went to Wei Zhai for a banquet yesterday.In connection with today's event, it can be seen that it is to build up momentum for the Wei family in advance.

Liu Zao remained calm, but his eyebrows were slightly stretched.

Xie Yi said very little today, almost never opened her mouth.Liu Zao became puzzled again, this matter started with thanking Mrs. Wei, and it was related to Wei Shi, she should be more concerned, why didn't she speak up?

Liu Zao was thinking, but restrained his eyes, never looked at her, only looked at Li Wen, seemed to concentrate on listening to his report.

After Li Wen finished speaking, Xie Yi said, "There are quite a lot of old homes, I'm going to ask someone to sort out the list."
