Prince Consort

Chapter 125

Xie Ze'an is really different from Zhao Chongzhao.Even in the face of Zhao Ying, he can still talk nonsense with Zhao Ying, and call Zhao Ying "Father Emperor" when he opens his mouth.But for Zhao Chongzhao, he always kept a distance on purpose. This distance is not only to remind himself not to get carried away just because he met Zhao Chongzhao as a young man, but also to remind him not to get too close to Zhao Chongzhao.

Before coming to this era, he was entrusted by someone to "reform" his son.The client was his biological mother, but the other party did not recognize him, and he had no intention of recognizing him. After all, the past was not a good memory for them.

Unexpectedly, after being together for more than half a year, his half-brother confessed his love to him.Of course he would not accept it, not to mention that he had never thought about it, even if he really liked it, he would not accept that boy.He is an adult, a rational adult, he knows very well that whether two people are together or not can not be decided by liking or not, if they really want to take that step, they will suffer for the rest of their lives.

His mother already knew about them when he was in a car accident.His mother asked him: "Are you here to take revenge on me?" Retaliation, his mother said it was his revenge, she thought he deliberately lured the boy astray.Such questioning distracted him, and he was killed in a car accident.

Such lessons learned from the past, Xie Zean did not want to get too close to people other than his family.He has too few things, and as long as there is a little bit, he wants to grab it desperately, so maybe it will give others the illusion that they shouldn't have--that illusion will even confuse himself.

He always reminded himself to keep a distance from Zhao Chongzhao. Firstly, it was because Zhao Chongzhao's character was unreliable. No matter how you look at it, it would be very stupid to talk about love with the emperor. How can a person's weight compare to Jiangshan Sheji?Second, it is because of fear, fear of being trapped in it.If you are deeply involved, you will not be able to deal with it clearly, and you will make many wrong judgments and impulsive actions. For example, he once watched Zhao Chongzhao and Xie Xi get closer and closer, and later quarreled because of Xie Xi and Zhao Chongzhao.

What Zhao Chongzhao did made him feel "as expected", but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.If it weren't for the expectations in his heart, how could he say the word "disappointed" to Zhao Chongzhao.His various actions during that time were far from being "calm and rational".

This is the consequence of getting stuck.For a long time, Xie Ze'an would list one example after another to prove the correctness of the practice of "keeping a distance", gritting his teeth time and time again to draw a line between himself and Zhao Chongzhao.

But Zhao Chongzhao is not someone who obediently abides by the boundaries he draws.

Zhao Chongzhao was like a fire, not only burning himself crazily, but also trying to burn him too.This hot and pure feeling was once what he wanted, and it was what he longed for to be his own.But no, not this time, Zhao Chongzhao is the king of a country, Zhao Chongzhao is Yan Ning's elder brother - Zhao Chongzhao Zhao Chongzhao Zhao Chongzhao, this name represents not only Zhao Chongzhao himself.

Among them, there must always be one person who must stay awake.

But sometimes, he also wants to indulge once.Just once, not too long, not too crazy, just a little bit.

Xie Ze'an kept flashing many images in his mind, all since he met Zhao Chongzhao.Zhao Chongzhao is not very smart, not very good, he has many shortcomings, but few advantages, he does things without thinking, messes around all day long, wants to kiss or hug, what's so good about such a guy...

This guy is not good in any way, he does not look like an emperor in any way, and he is not suitable to be an object of indulgence in any way.

Xie Ze'an closed his eyes, avoiding Zhao Chongzhao's overly hot gaze.Putting his hands by his side, he whispered, "Go to sleep, you have to go back to morning tomorrow."

Zhao Chongzhao's heart stopped for several seconds when he heard Xie Ze'an's words, and his breathing became heavy.He put his hands on Xie Zean's waist again, and hugged Xie Zean tightly into his arms. He didn't dare to make his hands too strong for fear of strangling Xie Zean, but he didn't dare to make them too small for fear that Xie Zean would disappear as soon as he relaxed.

Both of them had business to do the next day, neither of them spoke anymore, and soon fell asleep.

When Xie Zean woke up the next morning, Zhao Chongzhao was no longer there, and there was no trace of Zhao Chongzhao's presence in the house.Xie Ze'an sat up, looked at the direction of the door quietly for a while, and got out of bed to get dressed.

One day and one night was enough time for the news of Xie Zean's return to spread throughout the capital. When Xie Zean went to look for Master Yan, Master Yan looked distressed.

Xie Ze'an asked: "Master Yan, what happened?"

Master Yan said: "I heard that Yushitai impeached us in Liangzhou today." He gave Xie Ze'an a complicated look.Xie Ze'an's performance was so outstanding that they all forgot that he was just a small county magistrate, and it was unjustifiable and unreasonable to return to Beijing to participate in the year-end assessment!

Xie Ze'an said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter. It doesn't matter, Ma Yushi and the others are just acting impartially, and if they really want to deal with it, they will only punish me with a little salary."

Master Yan was a little speechless when he thought of Xie Zean's financial resources.Of course Xie Ze'an didn't care, he never relied on his salary for a living.Moreover, Xie Zean and Zhao Chongzhao have such a good relationship, a small impeachment will not affect him at all!

Thinking about it this way, Master Yan felt relieved, and set off for the Ministry of Officials with Xie Ze'an.In the first half of the year, Ma Yushi impeached Yao Dingyan for interfering in the affairs of the official department. Zhao Chongzhao gave the official department to Yao Dingyan with a wave of his hand, so Xie Zean saw Yao Dingyan waiting there when he entered.

In fact, Yao Dingyan was waiting for Xie Ze'an. He usually stayed in the political affairs hall. He had to organize the assessment work in the past few days before he came to the official department.Seeing Xie Ze'an, Yao Dingyan smiled, and continued to confess: "Liangzhou needs to examine carefully."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

As a student, it's fine if he can't get any credit, and he's being treated even more strictly, he can't live anymore!

Fortunately, Xie Zean prepared more seriously than anyone else, and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs made things difficult for him. He had thought about almost all the questions and answered them very smoothly.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only push people in front of Yao Dingyan, and let the master and apprentice fight each other.

As expected of Yao Dingyan's teaching, he is so thoughtful and shocking, I'm afraid he will ask something that he can't answer!

Of course, Yao Dingyan did not relax, and picked loopholes bit by bit in the "annual plan" put forward by Xie Ze'an.Xie Ze'an had thought about it many times when he came, but after Yao Dingyan's criticism, he found many areas for improvement. He didn't care whether he was in the assessment or not, and sat opposite Yao Dingyan to exchange his ideas with Yao Dingyan.

The thinking of both of them is very fast. Others have not digested their previous conversation. The same staring at the side.

Yao Dingyan hadn't had such a hearty chat with anyone for a long time. If Liangzhou can realize the "plan" proposed by Xie Ze'an, it is not impossible to spread it to other states.Xie Ze'an's plan is well written, as long as he is not a fool, he will not go wrong if he follows it.

Xie Ze'an's growth made Yao Dingyan very happy.In fact, many things Xie Ze’an does have the shadow of the new law, such as agricultural cooperatives. If the cooperatives can be stabilized, the "green crop law" and "market change law" can be realized through it.The Green Crops Law is that farmers borrow cash or grain before the summer and autumn harvests, and then collect the principal and interest after the summer and autumn harvests. This is to ensure the normal cultivation and food and clothing of the farmers; Transfer it to merchants for sale, and allow merchants to borrow money like the Green Crop Law, so as to earn profits and interest for the court.

The agricultural cooperatives have actually been doing these two things, but they haven't figured out the way, so they haven't caused too much trouble.Yao Dingyan checked the money paid by the cooperative in the past year, and the profit was actually more than the tax paid by a state-this is just the beginning, if the cooperative has a bigger shelf, the profit will be even higher!

Yao Dingyan doesn't think that this kind of practice is competing for profits with the people. So far, the cooperatives have been implemented, and the people have not seen less income. It can be seen that the wealth of the world is not constant. There must be a win-win method to benefit both the people and the court!

At least Xie Zean did it.

Yao Dingyan doesn't regret that the cooperative is not under his control, because Xie Zean's growth rate is faster than he imagined. At this speed, Xie Zean might be able to catch up and come back to help him.With Xie Zean joining, many things will be much easier. After all, although Xie Zean is young, he has never done things selfishly, and he is much better than many people.

Yao Dingyan and Xie Ze'an talked for more than an hour, and directly made a new plan.The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, both felt that such a conversation could be called hearty.

Xie Ze'an asked boldly: "Then our Liangzhou assessment has passed this year, right? The prefect entrusts me with such an important task, and I can't mess it up."

Yao Dingyan said: "Don't worry, go back and copy the plan to me again. If there is anything wrong, I will send someone to call you over to verify it. As for the result, I can't give it to you right away, can I? How could it be so hasty." He waved He waved his hand, "Go back, I will announce it when all the assessments are over."

Xie Ze'an could only say, "That's fine."

As soon as Xie Ze'an left, Yao Dingyan gave orders: "Sort out your conversations just now, and the subsequent assessments will be based on this. When the Liangzhou plan is sent over, you can copy a copy and post it, and ask them to follow that plan." If you don’t know how to write, you have to know how to write, and if you can’t even learn this, tell them to go back and find someone else.”

As soon as Yao Dingyan uttered these words, everyone else understood that Yao Dingyan deliberately teased Ze'an's appetite just now, how could this not pass, they simply took this as an example!Thinking of the performance of some prefectures in previous years, the officials on duty couldn't help gloating.

According to Xie Zean's model, many Zhizhous will definitely be stuck this year!

Xie Ze'an didn't know that he had harmed so many people invisibly, and when the assessment was over, he invited his companions to drink together.Halfway through the drink, an acquaintance appeared, and it turned out to be Erniang, the eldest grandson whom I hadn't seen for a long time—she appeared as "Erlang".

Seeing Xie Zean, Changsun Erniang greeted with a smile: "Sanlang."

Xie Ze'an said with a smile: "Erlang, it's been a long time since I saw you. You have become more handsome."

Erniang Changsun didn't hesitate, she sat down and said, "You too." After a pause, she asked, "Is your Highness okay?"

Xie Ze'an said, "Very good."

Erniang, the eldest grandson, asked, "Where's Brother Yanchong?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's also very good, I saw him not long ago."

Erniang, the eldest grandson, said, "What about your grandfather? My grandfather often talks about him."

Xie Ze'an said: "They are more energetic than me. Brother Yan said that my grandfather eats more than him, and his body is much healthier."

Erniang Changsun said, "That's good." She finally asked, "Where's Da Lang?"

Xie Ze'an said: "Da Lang is also very good. Winter is coming again. He went to other places to find those homeless people living on the streets. I don't know how he figured it out. He actually came up with a set of gestures that they can only understand. It took me a long time to learn it, and I will teach you later."

Erniang Changsun said, "Okay, I'll go find you when you're free."
