He also deliberately rode his bicycle to where the carriage was parked so that other court officials could see it.
Mr. Xi smiled and greeted his old friend again, "Why are you still taking a carriage? The street outside is very congested at this time."
"I left home a quarter of an hour later than usual today, but I arrived earlier than you."
Old friends: “…” This old guy is really enough. He keeps showing off all day long. Aren’t they jealous?
Then, Mr. Xi waved to Mr. Liang who had just come over on his bicycle, "Old Liang, you also came to court on a bicycle. Is this the bicycle your grandson gave you?"
Mr. Liang straightened his chest and said with a smile: "Yes, that brat insisted on honoring me, and I couldn't refuse."
"They say that riding in a carriage on the way to court takes time, and riding this bicycle can help you stay healthy."
"I have no choice but to ride to court today."
He looked like he had no choice but to accept that his grandson was so filial.
Other ministers: “…” These two old guys, each one more shameless than the other.
Such ostentation suddenly made them feel that their grandson was too unfilial.
But he comforted himself in his heart that although his grandson was not as filial as the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Xi, he was not a playboy after all and had more prospects.
Just as I was thinking this, Mr. Qi also came on his bike.
Mr. Qi felt relieved when he found that everyone's eyes were on him.
In the past, he was envious and jealous of the other two old guys, but now it's his turn.
"Why are you all standing here?"
He then smiled and greeted Mr. Xi and the other man, "You guys also rode your bikes to attend the court!"
Old Master Xi repeated what he had just said about showing off his grandson, which made the others feel tired.
I just knew that your grandson is filial, that's it.
If they continue to listen to this, they will want to go back and beat their grandchildren.
Old Master Qi smiled and agreed, "That's right, my grandson also pushed a bicycle back yesterday and insisted on sending it to my yard."
"I told them to let the youngsters ride it themselves, but my grandson insisted that it was specially built for me to show his filial piety."
"It allows me to sleep in a little longer in the morning, and after all, I won't be stuck in the alley outside when I ride my bike."
"Hey, grandchildren need to be filial, and as grandfathers, it's hard for us to refuse. So we just have to ride here."
The three old men who had often been at loggerheads in the court actually locked their bicycles in one place and started talking to each other.
They are all showing off their grandchildren and showing off how easy it is to ride a bicycle.
If you don’t know, you would think they have a very good relationship.
Then Grandpa Qi showed off again that his grandson gave him more than a dozen pairs of rubber-soled leather shoes.
Other ministers: “…” Come on, here comes another one showing off his grandson and bicycle.
These three dukes are shameless.
Just as everyone was getting ready to go to court, Fei Yuzhe's father arrived on a bicycle.
Fei Yuzhe's father is a scholar, so he is not as ostentatious and high-profile as the three old men.
However, after locking the car, whenever someone asked him about it, he would immediately say that it was his son's filial piety.
After hearing this, the ministers present wanted to go home and beat their grandson and son.
These troublesome things are not as good as the filial piety of a few playboys. They deserve a beating!
If I don't beat you, I'll have to talk to you nicely when I get back.
Xi Rui and his companions who were still asleep did not know that they had already raised the hatred value of their peers in Beijing to the maximum.
Before going to court, the emperor knew that a few old men were showing off outside.
He looked at me in a state of confusion, "These three old guys are becoming more and more shameless."
He didn't know that the bicycle was clearly given by a few old guys to their grandson to be filial to him.
As for the fact that the three dukes' mansions all had grandchildren hanging out together and running a business together, he didn't take it too seriously.
As long as the three dukedoms do not unite with each other to oppose or put pressure on him as the emperor, he will not do anything.
After all, the three old dukes made great efforts to pacify the world.
He was not the narrow-minded person who would target the emperor who wanted to give up power.
As long as they don't cross his line, he will still use people from the three duke's mansions.
Then go to court.
At the same time, it was also announced that Xiao Yuanshi was appointed as the Deputy Governor of Northern City, under the jurisdiction of the Third Prince, the Governor of Northern Frontier.
This appointment is a bit confusing. Is this to demote Xiao Yuanshi or to reuse him?
There have been some major moves in Northern Frontier recently. Xiao Yuanshi went directly to Beicheng to serve as the deputy governor, and he will definitely confront Prince Jin.
After all, the entire area around North City is the fiefdom of Prince Jin, and most of the officials sent by the court will have their power stripped away.
What's more, several prefects had died inexplicably before.
It is said that the previous governor was also killed by the Ge people in a surprise attack, but who would believe this? The third prince was appointed governor of the northern border, and as long as Prince Jin did not rebel, he would not kill him.
Prince Jin still has to give the emperor some face.
Moreover, the imperial court has also made arrangements in the Northern Frontier. As long as the Third Prince does not do anything stupid, he can still barely contend against Prince Jin.
The third prince was smart enough not to live in King Jin’s territory in North City.
But Xiao Yuanshi was directly appointed as the governor of North City, and he had to work and live in North City.
Xiao Yuanshi came to court today, and he already knew about the emperor's decision.
Because yesterday the emperor called him into the palace for a serious talk and expressed his intention to use him in an important position.
In addition to going to North City to contain Prince Jin, the emperor also wanted him to go to North City to hunt for treasure.
Xiao Yuanshi felt a little uncomfortable. After all, going to King Jin's territory in Beicheng was extremely dangerous.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
He had come into contact with Prince Jin before. That man appeared to be elegant and polite, but was actually vicious and cruel behind the scenes.
Except for a few people like the emperor and the empress dowager, all those who had offended Prince Jin died for various reasons.
However, he did not dare to go against the emperor's wishes, otherwise he would have no chance of turning things around.
Although it is dangerous, it also means opportunities.
As for the treasure map, if he finds it, he has a lot of room to maneuver whether to hand it over or how much to hand over.
Xiao Yuanshi respectfully received the imperial edict in the court, looking as if he was willing to die for the emperor.
The emperor seemed satisfied with Xiao Yuanshi's appearance, but he did not believe him easily.
We have to wait until we go to North City to see Xiao Yuanshi's performance.
Xiao Yuanshi took the imperial edict back home and went to Ge Chunru's courtyard, which he had not been to for some time.
Ge Chunru was sitting in the yard in a daze at this moment.
Seeing Xiao Yuanshi coming in, she forced a smile, "General, you're here."
But my heart is full of resentment.
This man hasn't entered her yard for a month.
She hadn't lost her virginity, so why would he do this? And when she thought about how this man had asked her to collect money and had someone keep an eye on her to prevent her from secretly selling things from the general's mansion, and that in the end she had no choice but to go to her sister, she got angry.
Then Xiao Yuanshi actually had someone send her there, and after returning he confined her to the yard.
