The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 273 Involvement
Xie Yao nodded and said: "I have read the records in the palace. Dongying Kingdom paid tribute to Dayan when Emperor Taizong was in power, and was willing to be a subsidiary country of Dayan."

Zhang Ruogu said: "The country is isolated on an island, and the people's livelihood is difficult. Emperor Taizong didn't want to burden Dayanping, so he refused on the grounds that the sea route was not smooth."

Xie Yao knew that Zhang Ruogu must have a deep meaning when he mentioned the pirates, so he listened attentively.

"The people in the country had no means of livelihood, so many sea bandits were born, who lived by plundering merchants at sea. During Yingzong's time, due to the rampant sea bandits, the imperial court issued a ban on sea trade, which stopped maritime trade."

"For more than ten years, pirates have been harassing the Jiangnan and Huainan coastal areas for their livelihood. In order to deter pirates, the first emperor issued a strict order that anyone who knows the pirates will be killed without mercy."

Xie Yao also thought that Zhang Ruogu wanted to accuse Xie Xi of being an adulterer with pirates, and said: "Xie Xi is the prince of the dynasty, even if he really had an affair with pirates, no one would believe him if he told it."

"His Royal Highness King Dun will naturally not collude with pirates, but some people say it's not necessarily true."

Zhang Ruogu said with a smile: "For example, Bi Suinan, the magistrate of Qingyang. I heard from his family that he has been colluding with pirates secretly. Now he is on his way to Beijing. Why don't your highness take advantage of this and press a button on his head?" charge?"

Xie Yao frowned and said, "It's just a small magistrate, how much can it be involved? Can it be involved in Xie Xi's head?"

Zhang Ruogu chuckled, leaned into Xie Yao's ear and said, "Does Your Highness know who this Bi Suinan is? He is Kangning Bolin Yuanzhi's father-in-law."

Xie Yao was shocked suddenly, and then looked at Zhang Ruogu with a happy expression on his face.

Zhang Ruogu said: "If Your Highness agrees, I will arrange for someone to write the memorial."

Xie Yao nodded heavily, and said, "Secret! Hurry up! It's time to see Beidi's third prince again in a few days. Xie Xi must not delay the progress of the peace talks!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will give you an order today, and I will take care of the memorabilia and send it to His Majesty tomorrow."

With Zhang Ruogu's guarantee, Xie Yao felt much relieved, and suddenly remembered that the newly appointed General Manager was not his own.

Once there is any disturbance, Qian Minzhong must know it clearly.

If the emperor was stabbed, he might offend the emperor again. Thinking of this, Xie Yao couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Zhang Ruogu saw through Xie Yao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, Mr. Qian has the same heart as you, and he can't wait to see His Highness King Dun stumble. It's just that he is a cautious person, and he usually doesn't want to talk to His Highness King Dun. He cares about it, if someone is willing to stand up, he is also happy to stand on the sidelines."

Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped worrying about this issue, and talked about other political affairs.

Xie Xi, who was missed by them, was accompanying Lin Zisu at the moment, guarding outside Yongning Gate in the south of the city.

Today is the day when Bi Suinan went to Beijing. The big family of the Lin family, led by Bi's three children, were neatly dressed and guarded the Shili Pavilion in the south of the city.

Of course, Xie Xi couldn't let go of this opportunity to show courtesy in front of the elders.

He arrived at Uncle Kang Ning's mansion early in the morning, and got the chance to accompany Lin Zisu under Lin Yuanzhi's eyes.

Today is not a day for Lin Yuanzhi to rest and take a bath. After Lin Yuanzhi went to the Yamen, Xie Xi has been wandering around Lin Zisu's side.

With Xie Xi accompanying him, he undertook most of the chores along the way, and Xie Xi enjoyed it.

A group of people waited for more than an hour at the Ten Mile Pavilion, and finally arrived at Bi Suinan and his party.

When Lin Zisu saluted Bi Suinan, she also took a rough look at Bi Suinan's appearance.

I saw that the grandfather was nearly fifty years old, and his hair was a little gray.

He is not too tall, with two very heavy eyebrows engraved on a face with Chinese characters.

Although he looked a little elegant, he was not too bookish, like a military general in a local guard.

In the Dayan Dynasty, when officials traveled, literati always sat in sedan chairs and warriors rode horses.Bi Suinan was born as a Jinshi, and used to go to Beijing by horse-drawn carriage.

However, this trip was personally summoned by the emperor, and it involved the water conditions in the south of the Yangtze River. Bi Suinan didn't dare to waste time on the road, so he had to ride to the capital.

Because of rushing under the scorching sun for several days, Bi Suinan's face was tanned purple.Because of the bumps on the horse all the way, after dismounting, the back was slightly bent.

Stepping into the boundary of the capital again, Bi Suinan had mixed feelings.

The last time Bi Suinan and Bi's family met was four years ago when they came to Beijing to report on their duties.

At that time, Mrs. Bi had just arrived in the capital for a year and was pregnant with Lin Zizhu. Lin Wenjing and Lin Zisu were still children.

I haven't seen my daughter for several years, and when I suddenly saw her again, seeing Bi's sons and daughters around her knees, Bi Suinan was filled with emotion.

He talked to Mrs. Bi for a few words, and noticed that the granddaughter named Lin Zisu was looking at him, and looked over with a smile.

Before Bi Suinan had time to look at Lin Zisu carefully, he first noticed Xie Xi beside Lin Zisu.

Xie Xi's attire today was extremely ordinary. In order to look dignified in front of the elders, she specially wore a blue robe.

But even though he had changed his clothes, the iconic smile on his face was impressive.

Bi Suinan noticed Xie Xi from the very beginning, especially the frivolous smile on his face, which always gave him an ominous premonition.

Seeing him and Lin Zisu walking together at this time, Bi Suinan's heart moved, remembering that Xie Xi followed Lin Zisu and called him "grandfather", and asked, "Ah Yun, what is the name of this young master, is he also a descendant of the Lin family? "

What Bi Suinan said was to Mrs. Bi, but his eyes were always on Xie Xi.

Mrs. Bi heard his father suddenly ask Xie Xi, and was considering how to reply, Xie Xi rushed forward and said: "Grandfather, my name is Xie Xi, you can call me Xiaosi."

Seeing that Xie Xi had admitted his identity, Bi Suinan felt that it was true, so he was about to kneel down.

Xie Xi rushed forward to help him, and said, "They are all from my own family, so my grandfather doesn't need to see others like this."

Hearing what Xie Xi said, Bi Suinan had no choice but to give up.After Xie Xi let go of his arm, he took a step back, bowed and said: "My minister Bi Suinan, I have met His Highness King Dun!"

Xie Xi helped Bi Suinan up, and said with a smile: "We don't have a prince here, only Xiaosi!"

Xie Xi said, seeing that Bi Suinan wanted to be polite to him, he looked at Lin Zisu, and said with a smile: "Susu, you see, my grandfather has been seeing me all the time, why don't you call me fourth brother, so that my grandfather can feel at ease .”

Lin Zisu blushed and couldn't help but spit.However, he stepped forward very cooperatively, supported Bi Suinan's other arm, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, the fourth brother came here today, just to show you a gift, so you don't need to meet him."
