They took Xiao an Heng and Xiao an Zhu to worship the empress dowager, and the three-day winter holiday was over. Xiao Zhige went into the busy government again. Since the first time an Changqing went to court, he helped the Guanglu temple to organize the winter festival and was greatly praised. After receiving a lot of praise from the public, no one has any opinions on his going to court.

many people even feel that the emperor's temper is much better with the king of geese in court. Occasionally, some courtiers did not understand the meaning of Xiao Zhige, and did not dare to ask him, so the job was always done with no sincerity. Now there are many ways to go. I dare not ask the emperor, but I can go to find the king of wild geese.

In this way, the officials in the lower court did a good job, and they didn't have to worry about losing. At last, Xiao Zhige stopped throwing his eyes at the officials who couldn't do a good job, saving a lot of energy. It's a happy day.

The only one who thinks it's not so good is probably an Changqing. He is popular in officialdom now. He gets up to go to court before dawn every day. After the meeting, he either goes to the imperial study to criticize the book or is invited to a banquet by his colleagues. At the end of the day, we have to accompany the young prince and princess to dinner in the evening. When it came time to rest at night, he had to cope with the emperor's exuberant demand. Although most of the time he refused, he was not too firm, but the main culprit was Xiao Zhige,

an Changqing felt that this day was a bit difficult.

In particular, the night before he was tossed for most of the night, his eyes just closed, and Han Zhang and Wang Yu came to shout. An Changqing was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She frowned and groaned two times, then pulled up the quilt and covered her head.

Wang Yu did not dare to urge again, looking embarrassed at Xiao Zhige who had already got up. Xiao Zhige waved his hand and said in a low voice, "the Lord is tired. Don't call him today."

After he washed and changed clothes, he went to dig an Changqing. An Changqing's whole body is covered in the quilt. Xiao Zhige is afraid that he will suffocate himself. He pulls out some people and tucks in the quilt for him. Then he shoves Mrs. Tang, who is just in the right temperature, to his feet. Then he goes to court with a full face.

This morning, the court didn't see the king of wild geese, so they were surprised. Someone tried to ask, but Xiao Zhige answered with a good temper. He only said that the wild goose king didn't feel well and would not come today.

All of them felt at ease, thinking that the wild goose king was not well. At this time, they should go to visit him and make friends with him.

……

But as for an Changqing, he fell asleep and the sky outside was already bright. Xiao Zhige should still be in court at this time, but he did not come back.

Wang Yu waited on him to wash and change clothes. After eating too early, an Changqing rubbed his sour waist and thought that such a day would never continue, otherwise he would die on the Dragon bed sooner or later. At the moment, I didn't care about anything else. After a rush, I took Xiao an Heng and Xiao an Zhu out of the palace and went back to the palace.

With the prince and the princess, the battle of an Changqing's going out of the palace is not small.

After the separation of the dynasty, not only Xiao Zhige knew that the wild goose king was out of the palace, but also all the officials knew. All the people looked at the emperor's face, and then thought that the wild goose king didn't come to the court this morning. They looked at each other for a long time. They all guessed whether the wild goose king was sick or not. I'm afraid it's true that his majesty and the wild goose King had a quarrel.

However, they also speculated in their hearts and did not dare to show it. After Ji Anmin reported all the events of Enke in the imperial study, he couldn't help persuading him and said, "it's said that husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed. Don't let your majesty delay the business for a moment. The ice frolic in December still needs to be presided over by the wild goose King.... "

Now the meaning is that if your majesty annoys the wild goose king, you have to coax people back quickly. There's business waiting to be done.

Xiao Zhige's face is black, but what Ji Anmin says is the truth, and it's true that he annoys people. He coughed and said, "I know. Doctor Yushi has something else to report?"

Ji Anmin shook his head and retreated.

As soon as the outsider left, Xiao Zhige couldn't sit still and hurried back to Qianzheng palace. Wang Yu and two suckling mothers also went to the palace. Now there are only a few servants left in Qianzheng palace.

Xiao Zhige caught a little eunuch and asked, "what did the wild goose King say before he left the palace?"

The little eunuch hesitated: "the Lord told his majesty not to look for him. Tomorrow morning will be the same."

Xiao Zhige felt that his guess was mostly true. Last night, he was in such a good mood that he asked for it three times according to the person, and finally made everyone cry I'm afraid that's why an Changqing is angry.

He walked twice with his hands on his back, then turned back and asked, "did the LORD say when he would come back?"

The little eunuch shook his head: "never."

As soon as Xiao Zhige's steps change, he wants to go to the palace to look for people. But then he thinks of an Changqing again and says that he is not allowed to look for people. It's estimated that he's not depressed at the moment. Step out of the pace will be back. After pondering for a moment, he called Han Zhang and told him to go to Sanwei Zhai and Tangpu to buy some cakes and pine nuts and send them to yanwang mansion.

Han Zhang smiles and goes out to buy a token.

***

after returning to the palace, an Changqing was in a good mood and took Xiao Anheng and Xiao Anzhu to see their grandmother.Yu also just received a notice from the servant. He was about to go to the front yard to have a look when he saw that an Changqing had brought his two children over. Two nannies were holding a child with a little Yu gauze beside them.

Yu Xiao's identity is not easy to enter the palace, so she has been staying in the palace these days, and occasionally goes to the small hospital of Hu Shifei for a few days. Today, he happened to be in the house. When he heard that an Changqing was bringing his brother and sister back to the house, he followed happily.

As soon as Yu saw his grandson, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. He hugged this and that, but he couldn't let go of them. Xiao Yu Xiao didn't see her brother and sister for a while, so she gathered around Yu's side to make fun of the two little groups.

When they were tired of playing, the nurse took them down to rest. Yu Xiao likes children, so she follows them and looks after them.

Yu had the heart to talk about business with an Changqing: "why did you come back all of a sudden?"

As usual, if an Changqing wants to return to the government, he always sends a letter in advance. Most of the time, Xiao Zhige accompanied him. I've never seen such a situation today when I go back to the government with two children alone. Yu can't help doubting whether he is at odds with Xiao Zhige.

Don't make trouble, but the reason is not good. An Changqing's ears are hot. She coughed and said, "no, it's just that the palace is a little boring. Your Majesty was going to come, but he was busy with government affairs. "

Yu believed in his explanation.

After coping with her mother, an Changqing was afraid that she would ask again, so she took a seat in Shouan courtyard and went to the front yard. He didn't intend to be angry with Xiao Zhige. He just felt that he would have to live a life of peace of mind, otherwise it would be bad for his health.

Just back in the front yard, Han Zhang came again.

white fat chief eunuch is holding two familiar wooden food boxes. He laughs and says, "Your Majesty has heard that the prince and his royal highness have returned to the palace and sent them to the palace."

There are two food boxes, one containing an Changqing's favorite pastry, and the other containing the pine nut candy that he didn't buy during the winter festival. It's probably just out of the pot, and the pine nut candy still has a hot burning aroma.

"Your Majesty is not here?" An Changqing stretched his neck to look behind him, always felt that Xiao Zhige could not say where he was hiding.

Han Zhang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is afraid that the Lord is still angry and didn't come."

An Changqing then relaxed, happily accepted things, sent Han Zhang back to reply.

***

after returning to the palace, an Changqing finally lived a quiet life. In the early days, he went to the upper court as usual. Later, he and Qi Wei went to the river to watch the rehearsal.

Bingxi is also the custom of Daye New Year Festival. One is to celebrate the coming of the Spring Festival, the other is to show the troops of Daye. The rehearsals are all elite selected by the army. Thousands of people walk in ice skates according to the formation, such as exploring the sea, or being independent, or spreading their wings like a Phoenix All kinds of formations have changed, and the scene is spectacular and pleasing to the eye.

This year, because of Xiao Zhige, most of the soldiers who took part in Bingxi came from Yanzhou army, and a small number of them were selected from the guards or the children of the generals. These two groups of people were not convinced with each other. As soon as they got to the ice, they began to see other signs. Originally, they were supposed to cooperate with each other and turned into two groups of people competing with each other.

There are many soldiers in Yanzhou, so naturally they have the upper hand. On the other hand, Shen tuliang was the leader of Yejing. Although he was at a disadvantage, he did not lose momentum at all. When an Changqing arrived, he saw the dragon head and dragon tail almost fighting.

Qi Wei shouts loudly to stop, the field public talent discovers an Changqing they have come. Yanzhou soldiers ordered to ban, and now they followed Qi Wei's order to rearrange the formation. But the children of Yejing headed by Shen tuliang are not very convinced with Qi Wei. Shen tuliang, in particular, was the direct grandson of Shen Tu Xu of Dazhu state. Although he did not join the army, he also practiced martial arts since childhood and was outstanding in martial arts.

With a quick movement of his feet, he glided to an Changqing, clasped his fists and said in a loud voice, "please make the decision for us. The Yanzhou army, relying on his Majesty's power, doesn't pay attention to us at all! "

Yanzhou army is under the command of Xiao Zhige. After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, Yanzhou officers and soldiers naturally all raised their eyebrows. In addition to the soldiers who stayed in Yanzhou, many excellent soldiers were transferred back to Jingzhong, or became officials or knights. They killed enemies at the border all the year round, and their momentum and means were better than those of the superior guards and generals. Therefore, this year's Bingxi election, Yanzhou army is the leader.

The biggest finale of this year's skate walking is the Golden Dragon's take-off, which requires 2200 people to put it together. There are 1500 soldiers in Yanzhou, but there are only 700 in Yejing. Only dragon tail.

Yanzhou army is naturally in high spirits, but Yejing's children, who used to be the top names in previous years, inevitably fall behind. Later, when rehearsing, there were all kinds of friction, and the gap gradually became dissatisfaction. Before an Changqing and others came here today, they had just had a dispute about how Jinlong should take off. However, neither of them could persuade the other. When they put in the array, they were like a ball of loose sand. The dragon's head, dragon's body and dragon's tail went their own way, and they almost ran into a fight.

As soon as an Changqing came back to see Bingxi rehearsal, she frowned and asked the leaders of both sides.

The leader of Yanzhou army was a general, and an Changqing knew him, so he told him to report back. The general glanced at Shen tuliang beside him and said, "we were ordered to rehearse the formation, and we were ordered to be the leader by general Qi. We did our best. But young master Shentu, they don't look up to us. Because they are dissatisfied with us being the leader, they don't even cooperate with us in rehearsal. "Shen tuliang said angrily: "nonsense! It is clear that you are proud of your Majesty's support

The general was also displeased and glared at him and said, "Your Majesty is strict in governing the army. When did we fight against your Majesty's power?"

When they came and went, they almost fought in front of an Changqing,

an Changqing's face immediately sank, and there were two bodyguards immediately separated. An Changqing said in a deep voice: "I want you to come up here to find out the actual situation and mediate the conflict, not to fight in front of the king! As leaders, you just don't think about how to ease the conflict, but you also take the lead in making trouble and wait for the next one to lead the ten armies! "

The general and Shen tuliang just withered.

"Why are things in conflict today? Let's start with the facts. " An Changqing said again.

The two talked about the situation separately. An Changqing heard that it was for the sake of the Golden Dragon formation that she had a disagreement. She immediately asked someone to take out a pen and paper and let them draw the Golden Dragon's flying formation on the spot.

Two people compare strength son, smell speech nature rivets sufficient strength son, quickly drew the formation of each imagination. The way that the general discussed with the public was that the Dragon came out from the southwest, went from the west to the north, changed its formation into a dragon bow, and then came out from the northeast. But Shen tuliang thought that this formation was too simple. He wanted to go out from the southwest, from the west to the East, and then change to the Dragon somersault formation, from the northwest.

An Changqing and Qi Wei had a serious discussion, but they thought the formation of the general was more suitable. It's not that the formation proposed by Shen tuliang is not good, but it's not suitable for practical exercises. Once the time is not grasped, the head and body of the dragon team are very easy to bump into an accident. Accidents on the ice are not trivial. Although the more eye-catching the ice frolic performance, the better, it is necessary to ensure that it is proper.

An Changqing points to Shen tuliang's picture and says, "Shen tuliang has a good idea, but it's hard to realize it..."

After all, he had been in Yanzhou for quite a long time, and he was familiar with many military books with Xiao Zhige. Under his influence, he also had his own opinions on the arrangement of platoon troops. Now he seriously analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two formations for him.

Shen tuliang's face broke down after hearing this, but he had to admit that what he said was reasonable. Although his formation was well drawn, it was a bit of an armchair talk.

The general next to him gave him a proud look, but before he was happy for a long time, he heard an Changqing say again: "the formation will not change, but the team will be rearranged."

"General Qi, you will break up the Yanzhou army, mix with the guards, and drain the dragon head, dragon body and dragon tail."

Qi Wei took the order immediately. An Changqing just looked at them and said, "is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's minister who leads the land. Your majesty is the son of heaven. No matter the Yanzhou army or the guards, or the children who have not joined the army, they are all under your Majesty's command. It shouldn't be so clear. Fortunately, it's your Majesty's future today. If he comes, I'm afraid each of you will not be able to escape a hundred sticks. He has always hated cliques in the army, but he won't take sides. "

When an Changqing said this, he was not only beating them, but also taking the opportunity to show his attitude.

After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, Yanzhou army promoted many soldiers. Naturally, these new nobles and old nobles inevitably had friction. On the one hand, he felt that he was a confidant of his majesty, and he acted with much publicity; on the other hand, he felt that he was still unwilling to be suppressed. Although there has not been any conflict yet, we can see that there are a lot of grudges just by looking at this little ice skating exercise.

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the resentment between the two sides will be deeper. This little ice game will turn into a struggle between the old and the new forces. This is not the situation he and Xiao Zhige want to see.

"The wild goose king is right."

Suddenly, a strong voice came from far and near behind, but Xiao Zhige came with his hands behind his back. He looked at the two men kneeling down with his eyes slightly: "the king of wild goose is soft hearted. He only punishes you ten army staff. I'll forgive you for a while. If you do it again next time, you'll lead a hundred sticks yourself. "

Then he went to see Qi Wei on the side: "and you, leading the ten army staff together."

Qi Wei was wronged: "Your Majesty, I have no trouble fighting."

Xiao Zhige gave a cold smile: "didn't you pull a side frame?"

Qi Wei

It's inevitable that people will be biased because it's their own soldiers. Qi Wei knelt on the edge of the two people with a bitter face and said, "I accept the punishment."

Xiao Zhige raised his chin slightly: "now go to get the punishment. I'll watch."

The three had to cry to get the punishment. Ten army staff is nothing to martial arts practitioners. It's embarrassing to be beaten in front of everyone. But Xiao Zhige seemed to be able to see through their thoughts, and he specially sent Han Zhang to follow him. He repeated an Changqing's words in a loud voice, and then said in a sharp voice: "execution."

Each of them lay on a bench. Because the emperor was staring at him not far away, the executioners did not dare to let go of the water, so they hit each stick.

Looking at Qi Wei beside him, Shen tuliang gloated and said, "Your Majesty is really holy and bright. I want you to go back to pull a partial frame."

Qi Wei gritted his teeth and said, "if I don't pull the side frame next time, I will beat you directly. Believe it or not?"

"Qi Wei adds ten more sticks." Xiao Zhige's heartless voice came.

Qi WeiThe general was a little impatient, and said, "general Qi, you should say a few words. We are implicating you in this matter." Then he went to see Shen tuliang and said, "it's our fault. I apologize to you. Let's work together to get the formation ready. If you still don't agree, let's compete again. "

Shen Tu Liang stubbled his neck: "even though we didn't go to the border to kill Beidi, we may not be inferior to you."

While talking, the staff had finished, and the three men were holding their farts. Gu was helped down, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.

Qi Wei bear fart. Share pain to the soldiers to disrupt the formation, and then told them to start drilling.

Xiao Zhige and an Changqing looked at each other and said in a low voice: "Shen tuliang is a man who dares to say and do, and has a straight temper. I don't know if old general Shentu is willing to ask for help. "

Shentu family is a family of old generals. Almost every generation has men joining the army. Shen Tu Bo killed the enemy immediately when he was young. His son Shen Tu Xu is now guarding Suzhou. Only this only Miao grandson has not joined the army. Shen Tu Bo is smart and alert. It is rare that he can see the situation clearly. Since Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, he asked himself to return home to support himself. He also hinted that Shentu Xu's military power could be handed over at any time. Although Xiao Zhige does intend to take back the military power, he is not ready to take the opportunity to promote Shen tuliang to make up for Shen tuliang's family, which is a good choice.

"Shen tuliang is good at martial arts. If he really didn't want him to join the army, he wouldn't have been asked to learn martial arts." An Changqing said. Although Shen tuliang didn't join the army for some unknown reason, he felt that old general Shen tuliang still wanted his grandson to inherit the cause of his ancestors.

Xiao Zhige nodded: "it's too early to talk about it now. It's better to discuss it later..."

Then he changed a slightly plaintive tone and said, "I'm guarding Shengong alone on the 6th and 7th. King Yan is really cruel."

As well as he suddenly mentioned it, an Changqing coughed uneasily: "it's only five days since I've been fully calculating."

Xiao Zhige said: "six days is not short. Here, when do you plan to return to the palace? If you don't come back, I'll live in the yanwang mansion. "

As soon as an Changqing's ears were hot, he glared at him: "I didn't say I couldn't go back."

"Then go back to the palace tonight." Xiao Zhige hit the railway while it was hot: "I'll ask Han Zhang to take an Heng and an Zhu back to the Palace first."

When the two children return to the palace, they are not afraid that an Changqing will not return.

In fact, an Changqing missed him a little. Although he slept alone at night, he was afraid of the cold in winter. Even if there was a fire in the house, his hands and feet were still cold at night. As usual, when Xiao Zhige was around, he could keep his whole body in his arms, warm like a big stove. Now there's no heater. It's OK for two or three days. He's really not used to it after a long time.

"What's the hurry? It's late today. Come back tomorrow."

Xiao Zhige laughed contentedly, brushed his hair with his palm, and said in a low voice, "I'll stay in King Yan's house today, and I'll go back to the palace with King Yan tomorrow."

He was really worried if he didn't take people back to the palace himself.
