Chapter 237 I Will Pick You Up To Meet Zhiqing (3)
Duan Chengxuan nodded, and then turned and went out after answering.

The emperor was very curious about who Xiao Zhiqing was, and even asked his mother to recommend him.So after learning that Xiao Zhiqing had entered Beijing, he summoned him to the palace.

The moment he saw Zhiqing, the emperor felt a very strange feeling in his heart.He couldn't tell what it was like, it was weird anyway.

"Cao Min pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Zhiqing knelt down to pay his respects.

The emperor was immersed in his own thoughts and forgot to let him get up.

Zhiqing felt a little uneasy, he didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he didn't dare to stand up, and he didn't dare to do anything excessive, just knelt quietly.

After a long time, the emperor came back to his senses, "Quickly flatten your body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After carefully looking at Zhiqing for a while, the emperor couldn't restrain himself and asked, "Your home is in Lin Town?"

Zhiqing was a little curious as to why the emperor knew about the existence of Lin Town. Lin Town was just a small town, and the emperor was busy with everything, so how could he know about it?

But no matter how many doubts he had in his heart, he would not show it, but replied respectfully: "Return to the emperor, that's right."

A trace of pain flashed in the emperor's eyes, but it was only fleeting, "Go, accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"Do you like business?" asked the emperor.

The emperor's mind does not allow outsiders to guess, even if he thinks about it in his heart, but he must not be aware of it.

Therefore, Zhiqing just secretly figured out the emperor's thoughts in his heart, but in the end he couldn't figure it out.I can only honestly say: "Business is just one of the more convenient ways to solve the problem of food and clothing."

Nothing to do with liking.

The emperor was a little surprised. He thought he liked doing business very much, so he started a business in Lin Town, and then started doing business again in Lingcheng.In fact, a businessman is not allowed to be an official in the court, but he is special, so he can be treated specially.

"Then do you like to be an official in court?"

When Zhiqing was thinking about how to answer this question, the emperor said again, "But it doesn't matter. Now that you are the Lord of the Mausoleum City, it has been confirmed. Whether you like it or not, you must do your own thing."

"The grass people understand."

"You are my subject now." The emperor said with some displeasure.

"Wei Chen understands."

The emperor was quite satisfied with Zhiqing's change, so he calmly waited for his answer.

"What an official needs is a sense of normalcy. I think that I haven't cultivated enough to have a sense of normality. Therefore, I think that I am not good enough for the job. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Zhiqing then said. Kneel down.

He knew that once he lay down in this muddy water, he would cause a commotion.He really wanted to be an official in the court before, but now he doesn't want to.Or because he has such an identity, he realizes that the life of ordinary common people is really suitable for him.After lying in this muddy water, he didn't know if he had the ability to protect the person he wanted to protect.

In fact, you can gamble!
He didn't have the guts to gamble, nor was he willing to gamble!
The emperor's eyes suddenly became sharp, "The imperial decree has been issued, you should be your city lord."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhiqing lowered his head, "Your Majesty, my family members are all in Lin Town, and I would like to go back to Lin Town this year to celebrate the New Year with them, and I hope Your Majesty will grant you permission."

"Your relatives, I will send people to take them to Mausoleum. This year you will stay in the capital for the New Year." The emperor's complexion improved.

Zhiqing was a little surprised, attending the annual banquet?
The position of the mausoleum city lord is so important, even if he is not in the capital, he still has to return to Beijing to attend the annual banquet during the Chinese New Year?
However, originally he proposed to go back to his hometown because he was worried that his family would be harmed by an adulterer, but since the emperor said that he would send someone to pick him up, he would naturally feel at ease.But Yu Niang is pregnant, so it is very inconvenient to move, if she is allowed to travel long distances to the capital, the danger will be doubled.

"Your Majesty, my wife is pregnant. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to travel long distances. I hope the Emperor will forgive me."

The emperor's brows were tightly frowned, and it was the queen mother's will to let him stay in the palace for the New Year, so he naturally had to obey.But what Zhiqing said was right, pregnant women don't suffer from the long journey.

"In this case, you can go home after the new year."

Even if Zhiqing doesn't want to, that's all he can do now.

Zhang Taishi learned that the emperor left Zhiqing in the palace for the New Year, and immediately thought of a very serious matter.

"Father, do you mean that the crown prince will attack the people of Lin Zhen?" Xiao Zhengtai was a little surprised, but there was not much expression on his cold face.

"The prince is very aware of Zhiqing's identity. He has always been against Zhiqing when he was not sure. Now that his identity is confirmed, if he does not do something, he is not His Royal Highness." The man is very clear.They will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to start.

"Then what should I do?" There was also a pregnant woman, so no matter how hard she tried, it would be troublesome.

When the two were worried, Eunuch Mo came.

"Master Zhang, the slave family is here to announce the Queen Mother's will." Eunuch Mo glanced at Xiao Zhengtai with a serious expression.

Grand Master Zhang understood somewhat in his heart.

"What the Empress Dowager means is to ask the young master to go to Lin Town and transfer the Xiao family out. If necessary, you can do it directly." Eunuch Mo's sharp voice seemed a little cold, and the little Zhengtai couldn't help it. trembling.

You can do it directly when necessary!
What does this sentence represent?
Did it directly end the lives of those people?
Xiao Zhengtai did not expect that things would develop to this point.I thought that as long as Zhiqing came back, the queen mother would definitely protect his family, but I didn't expect...

Grand Master Zhang understood what the Empress Dowager meant.Those members of the Xiao family will only become Zhiqing's burden, as long as they are by his side, Zhiqing's actions will definitely be restricted, and if there are too many worries, the chance of defeat will be greater!

The Queen Mother doesn't want to lose, so she can only make such a choice.

"Eunuch Mo, please go back and report to the Empress Dowager, my son will definitely fulfill the orders of the Empress Dowager."

After Eunuch Mo left, Xiaozheng stared at his father angrily, "Father, what do you mean? Do you know what the Empress Dowager means? She wants the lives of everyone in the Xiao family."

"The Empress Dowager does not want the lives of the Xiao family, but someone else wants the lives of the Xiao family. You must know that if the Xiao family falls into the hands of the prince, then there must be no way out. Besides, the prince will definitely use With this threat, Zhiqing will definitely compromise at that time, as long as Zhiqing compromises, then the queen mother will have nothing to do, do you understand?"
