Since Xiao Heng took over the cabinet, he has been working in a high-profile and low-key manner, saving red tape and saving energy, and never showing off.
But today is unprecedented, Lord Shoufu actually wants to call one by one to talk in the room
The two secondary assistants, the three cabinet scholars, and several Zhongshu Shiren all gathered outside the first assistant's intermediate hall, looking at each other, not knowing which one was sung today.
"Did we get caught doing something recently?" Liu Cifu asked.
He was originally a confidant of Master Zhuang. After Master Zhuang was defeated, he abandoned the dark and turned to the light and showed his sincerity to His Majesty.
Another second Fu, surnamed Zhang, was dismissed due to serious circumstances and could not be pardoned even if he was cast out.
Wu Cifu pondered: "We haven't done anything wrong recently... Could it be that Lord Shoufu found out that I promoted my relatives?"
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. No dynasty can guarantee that the officials under it are absolutely clean, but at most these people are a little careful, and they are not considered moths of the country.
Xiao Heng usually opens and closes one eye, so he basically doesn't interfere.
"The two patriarchs don't even understand the situation, then I'll wait—" The speaker was the Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian, surnamed Kong.
There are a total of six grand scholars in the cabinet, only the first assistant and two secondary assistants are eligible to be called a pavilion elder, and the other three grand scholars from Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion and East Pavilion can only be called a small pavilion.
"yes."
"yes."
The Grand Master Wenyuan Pavilion and the Grand Master Dongge sighed and nodded.
Liu Cifu said: "Don't worry about the three great scholars. The first assistant is not a temperamental person. He called me here today, presumably to ask about the recent official business."
Wu Cifu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, since the first assistant family took office, they have not waited carefully with me to blush. Even if something went wrong in daily life, it is also a light reminder that today... Maybe there is something good."
"It's better," said Master Kong.
Not long after, Shucheng next to Shoufu came out, and was the first to call Liu Cifu in.
Liu Cifu said that he was not worried, but his face turned pale when he was called.
For some reason, he somehow feels that today's posture is too formal
Did something really happen
Is the first assistant going to cultivate his own people and let them submit their names one by one in private
If you don't surrender to Shoufu, will you be ruthlessly eradicated by Shoufu in secret
He bravely entered the first assistant's study.
Xiao Heng is sitting on the official hat chair behind the desk, the youngest chief assistant in the history of Zhao Kingdom, who used his strength to explain what it means to be young and promising. At the age of seventeen, he returned to the capital as Jie Yuan. At the age of nineteen, he was the champion of high school. In the same year, he entered the Hanlin Academy, the cabinet, and the penal department. At the age of twenty-one, he was ranked first in the cabinet.
This is the legend of Zhao Kingdom, and it will definitely go down in history.
"Xiaguan, I've seen adults." Liu Cifu didn't dare to be scornful because of his youth.
"Um wow~"
A small milk voice suddenly came from Xiao Heng's side, and Liu Cifu was stunned.
His nose is not good, and he can't smell the milky fragrance that fills the room.
But he is not deaf.
He dared to look to the side of the first assistant, and he was a good boy!
Two babies!
Xiao Cong and Xiao Yan lay side by side in the cradle beside the table. The weather was not so cold anymore, and they were no longer wrapped in swaddling clothes. Xiao Cong was as always a quiet little beautiful man, and Xiao Yan was eating.
It was her who made the little milk sound just now.
"Yes, is it the little daughter and the young master of the adults' family?" he asked blankly.
"Hmm." Xiao Heng responded calmly, with a very high expression on his face.
Liu Cifu is stunned, what's going on? You came to the last value and brought the baby with you
That's why you asked me to come to your study—
"Yeah." Xiao Heng winked at Shucheng beside him.
Shucheng understood, walked forward with two red eggs in his hand, and said to Liu Cifu in a pleasant manner, "The red eggs your lord gave you."
Liu Cifu: "???"
I've seen a baby with eggs after two days, but have you ever seen a baby with red eggs after two months
Xiao Heng said without changing his face: "I forgot to post it last time, I'll make it up for you this time."
Liu Cifu: After a long time, you just want to make a red egg? You said it earlier! Look at the big guy being scared by you!
"Is it cute?" Xiao Heng asked seriously.
"Cute...cute!" Liu Cifu almost doubted his life.
It's not enough for your father to show off his daughter, and you're here to show off your twins, what's wrong with your family!
The second person who was called in was Wu Cifu.
He also likes to mention two red eggs, and presents a basket of auspicious words praising the dragon and the phoenix, which cannot be the same as Liu Cifu's.
The top scholars of the cabinet suffered the first literary surprise assessment of the year - a fancy praise for the twins.
…
Gu Changqing's marriage came to an end, Gu Jiao planned to leave for Dark Night Island, Xiao Heng went with her, and An Guogong would return to Yan Kingdom together.
Their plan was to stay in Shengdu for a while, and Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng only had to cross the ice field before the extreme weather in October.
The only question in front of them now is whether the two children are too young to be able to adapt to such a heavy workload.
Princess House.
The family sat in the Princess Xinyang room.
Princess Xinyang said, "April is rainy, so it's not suitable to go by water. You can only go by land. It's too bumpy to ride in a carriage. Yan'er and Cong'er have just turned two months."
Gu Jiao was silent.
This is indeed a very real problem. It is too hard for a two-month-old child to ride in a carriage. Especially in the country of Yan, the weather is hot. Entering May is like midsummer. Being stuffy in the car all day is as terrible as putting it in a steamer.
Xiao Ji has always been very aggressive in raising children, and this time he agreed with Qin Fengwan's concerns.
It's too much trouble to let such a small dragon and phoenix go on the road.
Princess Xinyang looked at Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng and said, "You can either wait until the children are older and go next year. Or, keep the children here and I will take good care of them."
The godfather's corpse was still buried in Dark Night Island. Gu Jiao had already waited for a year, so she couldn't let herself wait another year.
What's more, even if the fetus is one year older, it is still not suitable for long-distance travel.
Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng said softly, "It's up to you to decide."
Gu Jiao said, "Then leave the child in the capital."
Xiao Heng held her hand: "You won't be reluctant?"
Gu Jiao thought for a while: "It's okay, how about you?"
Xiao Heng stroked her temples and said calmly, "Of course I'm fine."
As soon as he returned to Lanting Courtyard, Xiao Heng plunged into the room, locked the door, hugged the dragon and phoenix without letting go, his eyes were red.
…
Things are ready for travel a few months ago, ready to go.
The two entered the palace first to say goodbye to their aunt.
It is true that my aunt hopes to keep them by her side forever, but when the child is older, she always goes outside to complete her own mission in life.
And what she has to do is to guard their homes and wait for their every return.
After coming out of the palace, the couple went to Bishui Hutong and Ding'an Hou's mansion respectively to say goodbye. By the time they returned to the princess mansion, it was already dark.
However, in the night of this day, an unexpected thing happened - the dragon and the phoenix were gone!
"Uuuuu... It's all my fault... I didn't take care of the young master and the young lady..." Yu Ya'er cried to tears at the door of the room, and she was out of breath.
Gu Jiao didn't blame her, but asked calmly, "Don't cry first, tell me what happened."
Yu Ya'er explained what happened tonight.
Dragon and Phoenix stayed with Princess Xinyang for a whole day. She brought him back after dark. Dragon and Phoenix were very energetic and didn't want to sleep, so she put them on Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao's bed together. I want them to play for a while.
She chatted in the room.
The person from the kitchen came over and asked her if she wanted to prepare a late-night snack for the little prince and the young lady.
She went out and told the man a few snacks that the two of them liked.
"I was standing at the door...here..." Yu Ya'er pointed to where she was talking to the cook, and cried, "I didn't expect it would take such a short time... When I enter the room again... Yan'er and Cong'er will just gone..."
"Was Long Yi at the mansion at the time?" Xiao Heng asked.
Yuya wiped away her tears and pointed forward: "Yes... He was sharpening charcoal in the yard. After Yan'er and Cong'er disappeared, he went out to find someone."
Someone sneaked into the mansion and stole the dragon and the phoenix, which was the first reaction of the two.
But judging from where Yu Ya'er was pointing, Long Yi was facing the door at the time.
No assassin can sneak into the yard under Long Yi's eyelids, let alone steal the twins.
Xiao Heng entered the room, he surveyed it carefully, and came to the conclusion, "No fourth person has ever come in."
The three are Yuya'er and Longfengti.
Gu Jiao frowned: "Since no one has been here, why did Yan'er and Cong'er not see each other?"
Xiao Heng's eyes fell on the bedside table: "I remember that when you went out this morning, you put the small medicine box here."
Gu Jiao nodded: "Yes, eh? The small medicine box is gone too!"
Known: Small medicine chests cannot be stolen.
so-
It was the small medicine box that abducted the dragon and the phoenix!
Gu Jiao fried her hair on the spot, clenched her fists tightly, and turned black on the spot!
…
National Teacher's Hall.
A young man in a white crescent white national teacher's robe stepped into the Qilin Hall.
The disciples on duty in the hall saluted him one after another: "National teacher."
Ye Qing nodded.
He wears a filial piety on his arm, no one knows who it is for.
He walked through the long aisle on the right side of the Qilin Hall, came to the secret room at the end, and said to the two dead soldiers guarding the secret room, "I'll go in and clean it, and you open the door."
"Yes! National Teacher!"
The two dead men followed the instructions of the newly appointed young national teacher and took out the key to open the secret room.
Ye Qing walked into the place where the master told him to protect him with his whole life.
But as soon as he lit the oil lamp, he saw that the place that was supposed to be empty, unexpectedly had two more cute little dolls!
"Oh!"
He was shocked, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground!
