Chapter 653: The farewell between the emperor and his ministers becomes a beautiful story!
Liu Xian hesitated for a while, but finally decided to give him a chance.
"If you like your majesty, why do you want to marry me?"
Xiao Fang's eyes widened: "It's unfair. Who likes Your Majesty? Please don't frame me."
Seeing him retreating, Liu Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're good, be serious."
Xiao Fang realized belatedly that she had misunderstood.
"God is my witness, you have also seen His Majesty and lived in the capital. Don't you know what the people around His Majesty are like?" He looked frightened.
Liu Xian wiped her tears hastily. She was no longer angry, but instead became interested.
"What kind of person is your Majesty, and what does he look like?"
Xiao Fang: "You don't know?"
Liu Xian got angry when she saw Xiao Fang acting like he didn't even know this.
"I wasn't your Majesty's confidant at that time." Although I'm not now either.
Did she not want to? She had just become an official, and was sent by His Majesty to Jinmen to settle the people? She could count the number of times she had seen His Majesty on one hand.
"Hey, why did you kick me again?"
"If I break it, you'll have to support me!"
Liu Xian put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth, "Speak to me properly."
"Oh, okay!"
"Those who serve His Majesty either have no tongue or are not considered men. Which one do you want me to be?"
Liu Xian raised her eyebrows. What does that mean?
Xiao Fang patiently explained: "Does Cheng Zheng Sang Guo know?"
Of course she knew, my Lord, and all the people of the Great Zhou knew it.
Xiao Fang opened his mouth, pointed at his tongue and said, "They all have no tongue."
Liu Xian was shocked.
Xiao Fang said as if no one knew except me: "I naturally admire your majesty in my heart. The feelings you mentioned may have been a little bit at the beginning. I am not lying to you."
"But didn't Wei Dongzhu appear later? I stopped right away."
"Later, Wei Dongzhu... passed away. I couldn't see clearly at that time. Later, Che Mingyuan guessed His Majesty's thoughts and sent Cheng Zheng to Sang Guo."
"Then I slowly pondered over it and discovered something."
"I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else."
Liu Xian's curiosity had long been piqued, and she immediately urged, "Hurry up and tell me."
"I find that His Majesty is worthy of being His Majesty. Anyone who can be His Majesty must have an extraordinary heart!"
Liu Xian: "What's so special about it?"
"That's really cruel!" Xiao Fang said, and immediately received two white eyes from Liu Xian.
"Later, I thought about it again and figured it out."
"When in Tianjin, Your Majesty saved the group of students from Qinglan Academy who had their tongues cut off. There is a deep meaning behind this."
"If you want to serve our Majesty, you can't have anything in your mouth!" Xiao Fang said and immediately scratched his arm. He got goose bumps.
"If you put it this way, who would dare to like her? Didn't you see that Liu Yanhui has already married?"
Liu Xian was stunned.
It took her a long time to speak.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of getting bored?"
Xiao Fang said nonchalantly, "Who knows? No one can guess what His Majesty is thinking."
"You can admire His Majesty, you can respect His Majesty, you can look up to His Majesty, but you can't like him. Even if you like him, it will be fruitless."
He had already come to terms with it.
Liu Xian thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that His Majesty was an unfathomable person.
"What do you think will happen to His Majesty in the future?"
Xiao Fang shook his head: "Who knows? I just know that Her Majesty is doing very well now. She can feed the people and clothe them warmly, and she can end the border wars and prevent foreign enemies from invading."
"She can still... Anyway, just don't treat her as an ordinary person."
That is the sun, moon and stars hanging in the sky, which are not something that mortals like them can touch.
"Not angry anymore?"
Liu Xian said unhappily: "I'm angry. I don't want to talk to you."
"Why are you still angry? I have received news from the capital that my father-in-law is coming to our place. If you are angry with me now, my father-in-law will beat me up..."
Xiao Fang chased after him with a smile.
…
Before the day for Empress Dowager Minrou to enter the palace, news arrived that the old Grand Tutor had left the capital.
"Today, I have specially sent half of the emperor's ceremonial guards to the old master. Anyone who dares to disrespect the old master is disrespecting me. The old master will kill or chop him up at will!"
The old master looked at the farewell team with a smile on his face.
When Liu Mingxin left, it was not like this.
"I will never let your majesty down on this trip."
"This old minister is willing to be broken into pieces to repay Your Majesty!"
Chen Lanxi led all the officials to escort the old Grand Tutor out of the city, escorted the old Grand Tutor in a dragon sedan chair, personally helped the old Grand Tutor get on the carriage, and watched the old Grand Tutor leave in the direction of the capital.
Not far away, the painters in the Ministry of Rites were writing with great swiftness, recording the touching scene between the emperor and his ministers.
"It has not been painted. Your Majesty respects teachers and personally draws the curtain for the old master."
"I drew it, and I also drew your Majesty's concerned expression."
"Write this down. Your Majesty personally opened the carriage curtain for the old master and expressed his concern. The old master was deeply moved and secretly wiped away his tears. The emperor was wise and his subjects were virtuous. It was very touching~"
"Have you written it down? These must all appear in the Express tomorrow. There can't be any mistakes!"
“I know, I know…”
Shen Lanxi watched the old master leave and went to the largest pharmacy in the capital.
"Boss, do you have any news about the precious medicine?"
"Your Majesty, you have come here in person many times. If there is anything, it will be sent to the palace immediately."
"We know that you care about your family and the Queen Mother, so we dare not fool you!"
Ministry of Rites Officials
"Write it down quickly. Your Majesty has condescended to personally search for the precious medicine for your family. Your filial piety is so touching that it moves the heavens. Oh, God, please fulfill your majesty's filial piety!"
"After my mother was exiled to Dongchuan, she has not been in good health. She often suffers from insomnia and nightmares, and is often sick. The thousand-year-old ginseng I sent to the capital in Dongchuan last time was intercepted by Zhou Ruyuan. When I think about it now, I wish I could kill Zhou Ruyuan eight hundred times more."
Ministry of Rites
"Your Majesty once sought a thousand-year-old ginseng for the Queen Mother, but it was stolen by the Zhou bandits. What a pity! Write it down quickly!"
As Shen Lanxi walked, she spoke calmly as if she was talking about a family matter, "Father has fallen in love with wine for some reason. Drinking too much is harmful to his health. I feel deeply guilty for not being able to accompany him often."
Ministry of Rites
"Write quickly, Your Majesty loves my father, but my father is addicted to wine. Your Majesty is always worried about him. Due to the busy state affairs, you can't always be with him, and you often feel guilty!"
Shen Lanxi: "Second uncle and third uncle are working hard to manage the family. I am grateful and want to help share some of the burden..."
Ministry of Rites
"Your Majesty is concerned about state affairs, and yet he never forgets to care about everyone in his family. Your Majesty is not only a wise ruler throughout history, but also a wise ruler who values friendship and loyalty. How can our Great Zhou be so virtuous and capable that we can expect the Nine Heavens True Dragon to descend to earth and protect our people!"
On the second day, the story of the farewell between the emperor and his ministers was printed on the express newspaper and sent to various places. On it, many farewell pictures were carefully added. For a while, the express newspaper with illustrations was sold like hot cakes and became the talk of the town!
