An hour later, Yunxi, who was sleeping, felt as if someone whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, it's time, Your Majesty."
Yunxi said in a daze: "Hmm? What time is it? Why do I feel so sleepy?"
The voice that sounded like Wang Xi's came again: "Your Majesty, it's already noon."
"What!" Yunxi was awakened immediately after hearing the word 'noon'. He opened his eyes and said, "I've been sleeping since last night! Why didn't you wake me up in the morning!"
Wang Xi immediately said: "Your Majesty, you didn't sleep much last night. You just went to bed an hour ago. I followed your Majesty's words and woke you up at this time."
"Huh?" Yunxi sat up, shook his head, and gradually regained consciousness, remembering what happened in less than a day.
Yunxi put on his coat and asked Huang Fu to get a basin of cold water and wash his face. Then he said to Wang Xi, "It is said that the food is served in the imperial dining room. Are the twenty-second uncle and Guo Hongtao here?"
Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An arrived half an hour ago, and Guo Hongtao and His Highness Prince An arrived shortly after."
Yunxi paused for a moment and said: "Then let the imperial dining room prepare meals for three people. Send the twenty-second uncle to come here to see me, and send Guo Hongtao to the dining hall."
Wang Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "In case, your Majesty must not forget what Prince Gaoyang said yesterday."
Yunxi understood that Wang Xi was reminding him to pay attention to safety. Yunxi himself was a little hesitant, but he still said loudly: "Don't be rude to the clan!"
However, although Yunxi got dressed neatly and met An Wang Zhu Ying in the bedroom, he made Zhu Ying sit three feet away.
Because Yunxi's seating arrangements were more clever, Zhu Ying himself did not notice that Yunxi was secretly guarded against him. He also had no idea what happened last night, so he said easily: "Your Majesty, you asked me to come to the palace."
For what purpose? You want to give me a fief, right? I don't want to go to Nanyang."
Yunxi actually wanted them to talk to him more easily, and he smiled and said, "Uncle Twenty-two, I'm not going to entrust you to others, but I have a favor to ask of you."
Zhu Ying asked: "What's the matter? Your Majesty still wants to entrust me with something?"
Yunxi said: "I want to marry the fourth lady of the Duke of Wei, so I asked my uncle to be a matchmaker for me."
Well, Yunxi asked Zhu Ying to come over as a middleman to inform the Duke of Wei. After thinking about it, he still felt embarrassed to tell Xu Huizu about it in person, so he asked Zhu Ying to be the middleman. Although he was talking about being a matchmaker, Xu Huizu
You will definitely understand what he means immediately.
Zhu Ying was shocked and said: "Why did your Majesty marry the fourth daughter of the Xu family?" Then he immediately said: "How did your Majesty know that she liked him?" He thought it was for this reason.
Of course Yunxi didn't accept Xu Miaojin as his concubine for this reason, but Zhu Ying happened to mention this matter, so he followed suit and said: "I heard it by chance... and I also saw it with my own eyes.
She knows that she is a beauty, so she cannot let down the beauty."
Zhu Ying laughed and said: "Hey, if she were not a beauty, His Majesty would probably not accept her as his concubine. But how could the Xu family's daughter not be a beauty!"
The uncle and nephew joked for a while, and then Yunhe said, "It's noon now. Uncle Twenty-two, come with me to have a meal."
Zhu Ying stood up and said with a smile: "If you invite me in at this time, I know that I will take care of the food."
Afterwards, the uncle and nephew came to the dining hall. Zhu Ying saw that there was another minister here. He wanted to continue joking with Yunxi, but he went back.
Not only that, Zhu Ying is relatively lazy, but he is not stupid. He understands that Yunxi must have something to ask Guo Hongtao to come over, so he left early after eating half full.
As soon as Zhu Ying left, Yunxi didn't waste time and said to Guo Hongtao: "Guo Aiqing."
Guo Hongtao immediately put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and bowed his head to wait respectfully.
Yunxi then said: "Guo Aiqing, I remember that you served as the commander of the Jinyi Guards for four years."
"And I remember that when you were in charge of the Jin Yiwei, you managed the Jin Yiwei in an orderly manner, which was better than the current commander Qin Song."
What Yunxi said was true. Although Qin Song was loyal enough and among Yunxi's current cronies, he was the most suitable to take care of the Jin Yiwei, but he was still inferior to Guo Hongtao.
Guo Hongtao immediately said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I am no better than the Qin commander."
Yunxi smiled and said: "You don't have to be humble, the facts are the facts."
"Because Guo Aiqing is very good at taking care of the royal guards, I think Guo Aiqing will serve as a commander in Fengyang to make Si Qucai."
"Recently, there has been a rebellion in Shandong. It is said that you can fight a hundred battles if you know yourself and the enemy. However, it is difficult for Qin Song to detect the rebels in Shandong. Therefore, I decided to ask you to gather people to explore the situation in Hebei, Shandong, so as to better defeat the rebels!"
Last night, Yunxi suddenly remembered that he could use this incident as an opportunity to ask Guo Hongtao to set up an intelligence agency! Anyway, the Jinyiwei commanded by Qin Song were indeed unfavorable in detecting Cheng Ni's intelligence. Shandong's Jinyiwei did not play a big role at all.
effect.
Although this is not entirely Qin Song's responsibility, it is also because the manager of Jinyiwei Yamen in Qingzhou was kidnapped by Lu Yuan to rebel, and Shandong Jinyiwei Yamen also has very few manpower, but Yunxi can also take this opportunity to establish another intelligence agency. And now
Zhu Di may rebel again, and the form is very serious. Qin Song will not think that Yunxi does not trust him, but at most thinks that Yunxi has some doubts about his ability.
This is already the best situation. If Yunxi comforts Qin Song, he won't make Qin Song feel grudge.
Naturally, Guo Hongtao was not very clear about Yunxi's purpose, but he noticed that Yunxi mentioned the news of exploring "Hebei Shandong", not just the news of Shandong. He suddenly thought: "Exploring the news of Hebei, exploring the news of Hebei"
News, could it be that King Yan was planning to rebel? No wonder His Majesty called Zhang Wen and others into the palace after the curfew last night. He actually guessed that Zhu Di was rebelling.
Yunxi didn't know that Guo Hongtao had guessed something, so he continued: "To ask you to start a new business completely is a far-off water that cannot quench the immediate thirst. I will talk to Qin Song this afternoon and ask you to select some people from Jinyiwei to form your team.
, start exploring the situation in Hebei, Shandong as soon as possible."
Hearing Yunxi mention Hebei again, Guo Hongtao became more certain that it was probably Zhu Di who rebelled, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yunxi said some more words to him. When the meal was finished, Guo Hongtao said goodbye and left. Yunxi immediately said to Wang Xi: "Go and ask Qin Song to enter the palace immediately and come to Qianqing Palace."
After Zhu Ying left the palace, he hurried back to Prince An's Mansion. He quickly found his wife Xu Mengyu and said to her: "Mengyu, Your Majesty wants to marry your fourth sister!"
Xu Mengyu was startled and said: "Why would Your Majesty suddenly want to marry the fourth sister?"
Zhu Ying sat next to her and said: "Your Majesty knows that she likes him..., your fourth sister is a beauty, your Majesty has seen it with your own eyes, so your Majesty is naturally willing to marry her."
Xu Mengyu would not think as simply as he did. Marrying the daughter of the Duke's family into the palace will inevitably have a great impact on the harem, and it will also affect the court, and may even affect the country in the end. Yun Xi Why should Xu Miaojin be admitted to the palace just because Xu Miaojin is beautiful?
But Xu Mengyu didn't know much information, so he couldn't make a judgment; and since Yunxi had already spoken, as a minister, there was no reason to refuse the emperor, so no matter what the truth was, the Xu family could not refuse.
Xu Mengyu thought for a moment and then said: "I'd better go back to my parents' house and tell my eldest brother and fourth sister about this."
Zhu Ying immediately nodded and said: "That's very good." He didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of Xu Huizu, so he was reluctant to face Xu Huizu like this. Xu Mengyu offered to go back and said that this matter was just what he wanted.
Xu Mengyu shook her head helplessly. She didn't know what was going on with the fact that Zhu Ying was a little afraid of Xu Huizu, so she could only smile bitterly to herself.
Xu Mengyu was also a resolute person. He did what he said and immediately asked his servants to prepare carriages and horses. After changing his clothes, he went to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Xu Huizu was at home thinking about his own affairs at this time.
Every rebellion, especially those originally related to the imperial court, would involve a large number of people. Zhu Di's principal concubine was the Xu family. If Zhu Di really rebelled, although Yunxi probably would not deal with the Xu family because of this, but now The Xu family, which was already marginalized, might become even more marginalized, so he had been worried since he learned last night that Zhu Di might rebel, and he had been thinking about how to prevent the Xu family from this situation.
While he was still thinking, his personal attendant approached him and said: "Sir, the concierge sent a message that the third aunt and grandma are back."
As soon as Xu Huizu's personal attendant finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from outside the door saying: "Pei Ming, you sent the message too late. I was already here and you didn't tell the elder brother that I was back. Brother, you have to punish him. "When this sentence was finished, the speaker had already walked into the room, and it was Princess An Xu Mengyu.
Xu Huizu stood up and said with a smile: "Third sister, are you walking too fast? I remember that when you were a child, you once walked back to your yard from the door of your house. When you arrived at the yard, the messenger hadn't arrived yet!"
Xu Mengyu said angrily: "Brother will remember things like this about me." Xu Huizu laughed.
The brother and sister joked for a while, and Xu Huizu asked: "Xu Mengyu, why are you back now? Do you have anything to discuss with eldest brother?"
Xu Mengyu also suppressed his smile and said: "It's not that I have anything to discuss with my eldest brother, but, well, it can be said that His Majesty has a decree to announce to the Duke of Wei."
"Your Majesty wants to take Miao Jin as your concubine."
