Chapter 214 Recommending beauties

"Your Majesty, today Xiangzhi got together with Mr. Zhen and a few friends. They found that the capital is really a good place. There are BMWs and cars on the streets in an endless stream. The ladies of the capital shuttle between the jewelry shops and the rouge shops. They are fat and thin, and they are colorful. , dazzling.”

Lin Xiangzhi observed Xiao Jingzhao's face as he spoke, and his mind was spinning, thinking about what to say to arouse the emperor's interest in the beauty.

"Did you go to a brothel?"

"Ahem... Your Majesty, does the Emperor know which one of us is following the other, and whether the other is that kind of person?"

Lin Xiangzhi almost choked on his own saliva and looked at Xiao Jingzhao with aggrieved face.

Xiao Jingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "I went to a fancy place. I really don't know what kind of person you are. It's not harmful for a few talented people to go to a brothel to listen to music. You don't have to rush to defend yourself."

"It's unjust, it's really unjust. Among the few people today, there are not many talented people, so they are really unfashionable." Lin Xiangzhi was so anxious that his forehead was almost sweating. He didn't even say the main topic, how could he push himself to the top of the wave.

Xiao Jingzhao suppressed his laughter and raised his chin, "Sit down and talk. I didn't say anything, just to make you anxious."

Lin Xiangzhi saw that the chair was too far away, so he moved the chair to the opposite side of Xiao Jingzhao's desk.

After sitting down, Xiao Jingzhao ordered Eunuch Ma to serve him a pot of tea.

"You've been drinking, do you need some hangover soup?" Xiao Jingzhao saw the faint blush at the end of Lin Xiangzhi's eyes, and knew that he must have had a few drinks.

The tea on the table was boiling hot. Lin Xiangzhi picked up a piece of apple from the fruit plate and took a bite. Then he told the story of the gathering with people outside today.

Before Lin Xiangzhi got to the point, Xiao Jingzhao said, "Su Jin is a person you can be friends with."

"Your Majesty knows this person?" Lin Xiangzhi was so anxious that he almost bit his tongue.

"The girl from the Su family is engaged to my eldest brother. Do you think I know her?" Xiao Jingzhao said and glanced at Prime Minister Lin.

Lin Xiangzhi left Yannan when he was raising food, so naturally he didn't know about Xiao Kang's engagement.

Lin Xiangzhi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he leaned forward, "Your Majesty, it turns out that the Su family is already considered a relative of the emperor, so why not get closer and closer to each other."

Xiao Jingzhao asked: "What do you mean?"

"Just the re-marriage of the Xiao and Su families, for such a simple matter, why does the emperor still need to ask?"

"Xianzhi, have you met the Queen Mother?"

Lin Xiangzhi didn't understand what Xiao Jingzhao meant, so he nodded honestly, "I went to pay my respects."

Xiao Jingzhao asked again: "Have you met Yonghe?"

"No, how can Xiangzhi go to see the princess at will? Your Majesty, don't go too far." Lin Xiangzhi looked serious and shook his head like a rattle.

Xiao Jingzhao's expression suddenly became serious, "Then why do you think Yong and Su Jin are suitable?"

"Your Majesty, you may be mistaken. I am not talking about Princess Yonghe. To be honest with you, I happened to meet Su Jin's cousin in front of the Jiang Mansion when I sent Mr. Su back to his home today. Her beauty is so beautiful that she is as beautiful as the country. , the emperor’s harem is empty, and when I see a beautiful woman, the first thing that comes to my mind is you, the emperor!”

Xiao Jingzhao: "..."

Xiao Jingzhao looked at Lin Xiangzhi silently.

Lin Xiangzhi blinked and said, "Your Majesty, do you understand? Beauty, a rare beauty!"

"You don't have anything else to do today?" Xiao Jingzhao asked without answering, glancing at the mountain of folded papers on his desk.

Lin Xiangzhi had no doubt that he was there and shook his head, "It's okay. We'll just wait and see how many people rank on the list. If you don't get the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I hope your Majesty won't blame the common people."

Xiao Jingzhao raised his chin and said, "It's okay. I don't follow the rules when I employ people. Even someone with a lot of talents may not be able to take care of the affairs of the Household Department. Since you're fine, these are the rules of the Household Department. You can discuss it with me after you read it. ”

Lin Xiangzhi wailed and looked at the Zhezi that was above his head and wanted to cry without tears.

"Your Majesty, ordinary people recommend beauties to you, but you let ordinary people..."

Xiao Jingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Xiangzhi with a half-smile, "You want me to be a foolish king?"

"No, Your Majesty, you have to get married. Even for the sake of the country and the country, you have to spread your wings and give birth to a heir apparent!"

Xiao Jingzhao took a wolf hair from the pen holder and handed it over, with a pleasant smile on his lips and said: "I have a son even though I'm not married."

"Crack!"

Prime Minister Lin shook his hand, and the wolf hair slipped from his hand.

"Your Majesty, you..." Lin Xiangzhi's mind was spinning rapidly, and in just one breath, he remembered that when he returned that day, the strong wind blew up the papers all over the courtyard, and he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a child on the paper.

The strong wind blew one corner of the paper up. Xiao Jingzhao's movements were too fast and his glance was so hasty that he didn't understand it and thought he was dazzled.

Seeing Lin Xiangzhi looking at him with wide eyes in disbelief, Xiao Jingzhao pulled out a booklet and pushed it over, "Don't ask so many questions. You will know when it's time for you to know."

"Your Majesty, no, when did it happen? We are often together. Why didn't Xiangzhi notice the clues? Who did you fall in love with?"

Lin Xiangzhi took the document and saw that the emperor really had no intention of telling him, so he had to lower his head and read the document.

The Minister of Hubu was absent for many days, and many matters that the Minister of Hubu could not handle were reported to him.

The two of them had dinner in the imperial study room. Lin Xianzhi, who had eaten the imperial meal, thought he could leave, but the emperor said, "Sooner or later you will be in charge of the household department, so it is better to familiarize yourself with the household affairs first."

Lin Xiangzhi could only bite the bullet and continue to help review the papers.

Until three quarters of the hour, Prime Minister Lin yawned several times in a row.

Xiao Jingzhao put down the wolf hair in his hand and said, "That's it for today."

"Xiangzhi will take his leave. Your Majesty, please rest. Your dragon body is important."

Lin Xiangzhi bowed perfunctorily and walked out.

The emperor's clear voice sounded behind him, "Come again tomorrow."

"Come again?" Lin Xiangzhi stumbled back and almost hit the door frame.

Xiao Jingzhao glanced at him jokingly, "When God gives a great task to a person, he must also work hard, don't you think?"

If it were in the past, Xiao Jingzhao would definitely say, you are idle, who else would do it if you don't do it?

"See you tomorrow!"

After leaving the imperial study, Lin Xiangzhi walked back cursing in his heart.

Humph! You are hypocritical and righteous, you are still the black-hearted boy who would rather die than die with your friends.

...

The next day, Princess Changle really came to Jiang's house again.

She was followed by a group of palace maids and entered Jiang's house in a mighty manner.

"Sister Jiang, this is a gift from the emperor brother. Do you like it?" Changle said as she casually opened a brocade box, and colorful light instantly overflowed.

It was a box full of jewels.

Jiang Shuyue looked at the pile of brocade boxes on the Eight Immortals Table, and felt her forehead throbbing.

"Liang State started a war on the border, and the court is in need of silver. Changle should send these back to the palace."

Changle smiled and said, "Sister Jiang, don't worry about the emperor brother. Yannan has 100,000 soldiers on the border. Liang State dare not act rashly. Sister Jiang, don't worry. These are all the private vaults of the emperor brother."

"Aunt!"

Sui Sui ran in like a whirlwind.

Su Nan followed closely behind him. Seeing the charming Changle standing next to his sister, he hurriedly stopped and saluted, "Su Nan greets Princess Changle."
