Chapter 38
Cui Xuanji stood aside, Feng Zizhang sat at the bottom, and Xie Yan in the middle of the hall saluted Feng Zihuan.There was no adhat, and no one else in line.After Xie Yan finished worshiping, Feng Zihuan said to his sister and Cui Xuanji: "You go out first, I will talk to Xie Yan alone."
Cui Xuanji was slightly surprised, but Feng Zizhang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, got up to leave, and Cui Xuanji had no choice but to go out with him.
"Your Highness."
"Master Cui."
The two went outside the hall together, which made Feng Zihuan unhappy, so they both walked away; until they reached the balcony railing outside the hall, the weather was fine, and the two leaned on the railing together as if looking at the scenery.
Cui Xuanji asked: "Your Highness is not worried?"
Feng Zizhang turned to look at her, "Worry? My sister won't do anything to her. If you have to do something, you and I can't stop you." The two naturally recognized each other as Xie Yan because of Xie Yan's relationship. alliance. "How is Master Cui recently?"
"Very good, thank you for your concern." Feng Zizhang smiled, Cui Xuanji looked at her face from the side, and couldn't remember the appearance of the former emperor and the former empress, because he couldn't figure out what the two sisters looked like. Who is like who.Apart from the majesty of the emperor, Feng Zihuan actually has a charming face with rich expressions and loves to show off; while Feng Zizhang appears indifferent and self-sustaining, showing no signs of happiness or anger, making people think that she either doesn't feel any happiness or anger, Either I don't even bother to move my muscles; compared to my sister's wind-like beauty, Feng Zizhang's beauty is like a painting, like a stone, like a mountain stream.
However, Feng Zizhang smiled at him at this time, and Cui Xuanji finally understood why his cousin who was almost the same age was fascinated by her. "I heard that Master Cui gave my sister many ideas on state affairs. I can't tell that Master Cui is such a national scholar."
"Your Highness is serious."
"We were on the way, Xie Yan told me a lot about you, you don't have to be so polite to me. I hope what I know can help me understand you; if we understand each other, we can do more things together."
Cui Xuanji thought for a while, then smiled at Feng Zizhang: "Yes, then I will thank that guy. It's just that she has a big mouth, and I don't know what good or bad things she said about me."
Feng Zizhang smiled, "Then according to Xie Ying and my suggestion, I should say all bad things."
Cui Xuanji laughed, "Xiao Yingzi is still like this."
The two stood and talked for a while to thank Ying, Feng Zizhang said: "So, if Master Cui is here, I think we can cooperate in many things in the future."
"Your Highness?"
"Master Cui, don't you think that my sister has great ambitions?"
"That's natural."
"If she wants to carry it out, there is no problem with the motivation to move forward, but she needs someone to pull her. What does Master Cui think?"
Cui Xuanji naturally understood what she meant, "Your Highness is smart, I understand."
"Thank you, Master Cui."
"It's just Your Highness..."
"Ok?"
"A king is like a tiger. Don't you think it's dangerous if you are so close and you have to pinch it?"
"Then why does Master Cui persist?" Feng Zizhang asked her with a smile.
"So why did you choose to come to Jiankang? Apart from the reasons I can tell from the letter." Feng Zihuan asked in the hall.
Xie Yan knelt on the spot, straightened his back and said, "For the world."
"This reason is a bit grandiose."
"If you really want it, it can't be changed by others."
"But if you came here for the sake of the world, why didn't you just become an official in the imperial court and start from Zizhang's internal history?"
"How can a person who has no merit be in a high position. If he can't convince people, he can't do good things."
Feng Zihuan looked at her carefully for a while, "You are not afraid, because if I want to use the humble family, you will always be restricted in that position, unable to play the role you want to play?"
"As long as they can do their best for the world and His Majesty, the grassroots cannot, should not, and will not stick to any official position."
"You are smart."
"Your Majesty appreciates it."
"But don't you think it's very dangerous for you to go to Zizhang for the sake of the world?"
Xie Yan took a quick glance at Feng Zihuan, and saw that Feng Zihuan's eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyes were like knives, "For the sake of the world and His Majesty, you can't stick to any place or place, as long as you have the world in your heart, it will be the same wherever you are."
Feng Zihuan smiled and said, "Have you ever studied Buddhism?"
"Caomin went to Lushan Mountain and had a conversation with Master Huiyuan {106}."
"You don't even intend to become a monk?"
"There are still worldly concerns, not to mention that as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, you can practice anywhere."
Feng Zihuan nodded to show his approval, took a sip from the teacup, savored the taste, and said: "I allow you to be Zizhang's internal history, she can arrange you however she wants, I don't ask. It's just that if something happens in the future, I won't punish her, I will definitely punish you. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Well, as for you and Zizhang..."
Xie Yan and Feng Zizhang haven't discussed this matter, probably Feng Zizhang didn't think he would talk about it so soon.But she was not unprepared, "Caomin will make contributions to His Majesty first."
Sure enough, Feng Zihuan smiled with satisfaction.
"Yeah, I still have a lot of things to count on from the two of you. Go, call Zizhang in."
After Feng Zizhang and Cui Xuanji came in, Feng Zihuan said: "Zizhang, I have approved Xie Yan to be your internal history, are you happy?" Her tone was brisk, and Feng Zizhang felt a little relaxed at last, " Thank you sister for your kindness."
"Sister should thank you, otherwise how would we invite this 'first in this generation' talent?" Feng Zihuan laughed, and everyone laughed along with him.Feng Zizhang glanced at Cui Xuanji, and Cui Xuanji responded with helpless eyes, "Well, you're back too, I happen to have a lot of things that I need you to do for me."
"Sister, please speak."
"After civil and military competitions and some civil training, many scholars from poor families came to Jiankang and became officials in the imperial court. The imperial court gave them a lot of help, from housing to subsidies, but I am still worried that they will be flooded by the aristocratic atmosphere in Jiankang They were discriminated against and bullied by others, and they were worried that they would not be able to understand their thoughts in time, so..." Feng Zihuan actually turned his head and glanced at Cui Xuanji at this time, Cui Xuanji seemed to express his understanding with his eyes, Feng Zihuan then Turned over.
Feng Zizhang really saw it in his eyes.
"So that we can understand what they are thinking, how they think about specific things, and finally condense them into a group. So, Zizhang, I need you to do this." Feng Zizhang showed a gesture Cui Xuanji thought it was funny when she saw her continuing expression behind Feng Zihuan. "I need you to hold a party in your house, not to represent me in name, but to represent me to take care of them, understand them, and communicate with them, do you understand?"
Feng Zizhang didn't answer immediately.
After leaving the palace and returning to the palace, Xie Yan took the teapot and placed it in front of Fengzizhang. He boasted for a while that the flowers in Fengzizhang Palace were more beautiful and exquisitely designed than those in Nankang King's Palace. Zhang ignored her, then sat back in front of her and said, "What's wrong with you? You've been depressed all the way."
Feng Zizhang smiled helplessly and said: "My sister wants me to be the leader of this poor family, but I don't want to do it. I thought it would be good to let someone from a poor family directly lead it. It makes people think that it is a struggle between the royal family and the aristocratic family."
"Why not?"
"Because of this, you shouldn't be looking for me."
"But think about it." Xie Yan poured her a cup of tea and blew it cold, "Your Majesty doesn't trust others, and can't find anyone. She chose you because she thought she would leave this matter to you. Safe and reliable."
"That's it, I just don't like it very much. Although I promised her, I really..."
"Zizhang, think about it this way." Xie Yan stretched out his hands and held Feng Zizhang's right hand in both palms. "Who else can do it well except you? If you can't think of that person, know that there is no one but yourself." If you can do it well, you can’t give it away to others, you can only do it yourself. Otherwise, think about it, if someone else does it badly, not only will you not be able to stand it, but you will have to clean up the mess..."
Xie Yan talked and talked, as if if Feng Zizhang didn't do this, the world would be broken, Feng Zizhang finally laughed: "Okay, okay, look at what you said, it seems that there is no me It's not like that."
"No! Oh, let's just do it. You still have me, and I'll be with you."
Although Feng Zizhang had heard her kind of sweet talk for a long time, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart at this moment, and reached out to touch Xie Yan's cheek and temple hair, "Okay, you want to stay with me, you have to stay with me all the time."
"I'll be with you, of course I will. Always."
In the palace, after Feng Zihuan finished processing the memorabilia, he asked Cui Xuanji to go to Hualin Garden to see how many flowers were blooming.The two were walking in the forest, although it was late spring, the trees in the garden were still green, Feng Zihuan said with a smile that the south is better, the vegetation flourishes in all seasons, and you can always see a little bit. "In the north, the winter is completely withered and bare."
Cui Xuanji smiled and said: "North is naturally like that. You can't force it. But there are some people who like that."
Feng Zihuan actually said in a coquettish tone: "Let others like it, as long as I don't like it."
She looked like a little girl, and her voice was always low, Ren Jun's voice, Cui Xuanji was almost sucked out of her soul by that voice, and followed behind like a fool, almost hit her head by a branch.
The two rested in Qingshu Hall, Cui Xuanji was about to get her a stove to avoid catching cold, Feng Zihuan suddenly asked: "Xuan Ji, when you and Xie Yan were young, how long were you together? ?”
Cui Xuanji knew that it was time to come, so he said: "When we both lived in Jiankang, we were basically together. Later, she returned to Kuaiji first. There was about five or six years."
"Well, do you know her?"
"It should be considered relatively familiar."
"What do you think of her as a person?"
"Which aspect do you want to ask, Your Majesty?"
Feng Zihuan shrugged, "Every aspect, character, martial arts, talent, etc."
"Character, this guy's character can be regarded as noble, open-minded, not sticking to external things, he is a very chic person. He is also very righteous, so he can make friends with some heroes, from the noble family to the ordinary people, She can make friends with her, and she can also make real friends. In terms of martial arts, this guy is too smart. He has a sword in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and his martial arts are not inferior to mine. As for talent, there is no problem. This guy is still a bit biased door thing."
"Something out of the ordinary, like?"
"Like how to catch a rabbit in the field, skin it well, groom it, and roast it well."
"That's it too?" Feng Zihuan smiled.
"Yes. Also, this guy especially talks a lot, and his words are very humorous, very humorous."
"I've realized that you talk too much, how is humor a good way?" Cui Xuanji told the things about his childhood one by one, and Feng Zihuan laughed until his stomach ached.Finally, he waved his hand to make her stop, "Forget it, I can't say any more. I laughed so hard, you will be punished with decapitation!" Cui Xuanji hastily said no, "Well, I was just joking. Xuanji , you said you two grew up together, why are you so quiet and Xie Yan so flamboyant and cute?"
Before Feng Zihuan had time to correct himself, Cui Xuanji seldom used his eloquence just now to retort: "Your Majesty thinks I'm not cute?"
"No, no, you two have your own characteristics. I mean, the gap between the two of you is so big. It's not that you are not good at words, but you just don't talk. She is good at words and loves to express. In fact, if you love to express, you Like just now, you too..." Feng Zihuan found himself returning to the words he used just now while talking, and Cui Xuanji had long since stopped chasing and beating him, and just sat there obediently, not asking questions or answering.
"Forget it, it's fine if you're like this..."
Yes, I should accept that you are you and no one else.
"Sometimes I just feel that there is no need to say so many words. If I can explain clearly with few words, there is no need to describe it repeatedly; the more repeated, the more error-prone it is."
"You are like this. You often worry too much. Just worrying too much is also a virtue."
Cui Xuanji imagined that you made me not know whether I was a wise man or a fool, but she didn't dare to say that, because the "uncute" just now exhausted her courage.
"It's okay to worry about His Majesty."
"I keep telling you to worry too much. How can I be so embarrassing? Besides, the civil and military affairs of the court are exhausting you, and it's unfair to you. This is why I hope Zizhang can come out to share a little more."
From a rational point of view, Cui Xuanji did not fully believe this statement.Rather than wishing Fengzizhang to share, it is better to say that Fengzizhang serves as a balance.Cultivate the newly-promoted forces from the poor family into your own wings to check and balance the big clans, of course you can't let people from these big clans intervene.She couldn't rule out Xie Yan. In fact, secretly, Feng Zihuan should be satisfied that Xie Yan only asked for an internal history, but he couldn't make it clear.Own?She may still be suspected in her eyes, even if she has given up a lot of doubts, she still has to guard against herself just to be safe.
After thinking about it, sensibility finally took the initiative, and she actually defended Feng Zihuan.Her sensibility would rather accept that Feng Zihuan is really, completely, and thoroughly good for her.
"But in the future, you can help me watch Xie Yan more. You have to beat her and help her, okay?"
"Of course. Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"Oh, you, I can't be more reassuring. I can't be more reassuring. Thinking about Zizhang, he looks unwilling. Sigh."
"Nankang Wang Xing likes to stay away from right and wrong government affairs, and it's only natural that he doesn't want to. If Xie Yan is there to help, I hope it can be resolved smoothly."
"I don't think that Xie Yan is a very enthusiastic person. Zizhang also told me that both of them want to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, regardless of right and wrong."
"Your Majesty, if she doesn't want to, she won't come to Jiankang."
Just like me, if it wasn't for you, for the stability of the world's political situation, why would I come to you?
Feng Zihuan smiled when he heard the words, "Yes, you are right, I am worrying too much. Xuan Ji." She leaned forward a little, "You haven't played the flute for me for a long time, today I will play it How are you?"
Cui Xuanji was most afraid that Feng Zihuan would speak to him in a gentle and deep voice with a sincere tone.
Yes, of course, everything is fine for you.
