At a banquet for the ministers, Xia Wen sat in the chief, but he had not changed into the plain clothes.

I don’t know what kind of banquet this big banquet is, it can’t be sad or cheerful. It seems to be a kind of depression, but it reveals a little bit of detachment in the depression.

Wu Zhongshu was the first to lift his wine glass and went forward to pay homage to Xia Wen.

Xia Wen was drinking wine, but his eyes were scanning left and right, as if he was looking for someone.

It turned out that Xu Jie was not here, and Xu Wenyuan was not here. The ministers and officials, one table after another, one row after another, but Xu Jie was not there.

At this time, Xu Jie was strolling in the corridor garden of the harem. The corridor lights in the palace were slightly dim, and the scenery reflected was unique.

Xu Jie just walked like this, maybe he had thousands of thoughts, maybe he was just letting go of himself, and he felt a sense of liberation in his heart.

Wei Jiu followed Xu Jie and walked in the palace with Xu Jie. There were no eunuchs and palace maids, as if there were only two people in the entire harem.

Wei Jiu followed him for a long time and suddenly spoke softly: "Master Xu."

Xu Jie seemed to have not heard it.

Wei Jiu increased his voice and said, "Master Xu?"

"Hmm?" Xu Jie reacted, not knowing whether his thoughts had flew away or he was not used to the title.

"Teacher Xu, I have sent people to Dajiang for a few days in the capital." Wei Jiu said.

"Oh? Go to Dajiang?" Xu Jie was a little absent-minded.

"Well, someone in Beijing went to Dajiang and went there with the imperial edict." Wei Jiu was obviously telling Xu Jie something.

Xu Jie just nodded and said, "I understand."

Wei Jiu seemed a little worried and said, "I'm afraid there is danger in the Taishi's family."

Xu Jie waved his hand: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong at home."

Xu Jie seemed to really not care about these things. Xu Zhong was at home. As long as the people from the Jindian Guard did not go to the river, there would definitely be no problem at home.

Seeing that Xu Jie was not concerned, Wei Jiu didn't worry much. He walked with Xu Jie in silence for a while, and asked again: "Will the Grand Master see him?"

"Who do you see?" Xu Jie asked subconsciously, then said, "Oh, then let's meet."

After hearing this, Wei Jiu walked to Xu Jie's head and raised his hand to ask: "Here."

Wei Jiu probably thought Xu Jie didn't know where the yard was.

Xu Jie didn't say anything, and followed Xu Jie slowly towards the small courtyard.

In front of the courtyard, Wei Jiu went forward to remove the door panel that had just been sealed.

"I won't tear it down, just go in." After Xu Jie said this, he jumped in.

Wei Jiu was also preparing to follow Xu Jie into the courtyard wall, but suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and slowly retreated to the distance.

In the yard, there is an inch of sunshine during the day and an inch of moonshine at night.

Sitting alone in the moonlight, his eyes were dull and he raised his head.

Seeing Xu Jie suddenly come in, Xia Rui glanced at him carefully, and rushed forward two steps, shortening his body in front of Xu Jie.

Xu Jie looked down and Xia Rui knelt in front of him.

Seeing this, Xu Jie sat on the ground. He probably didn't want to kneel down.

The two are very close.

"Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, I... in front of me, lard is covered in my heart, and it's all... Xu Shida's words deceived me. I... I... in such a relationship, you think you know me, I... I... I regret it." Xia Rui said intermittently.

Xu Jie didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Xu Jie silent, Xia Rui put his hand on Xu Jie and said again: "Wenyuan, Wenyuan, I know I was wrong. I understand what I did. I am really sorry for you. I know I am wrong. You know I am not that kind of person."

Xu Jie suddenly couldn't understand Xia Rui's words and actions at this time, but in fact he could understand it in his heart and answered: "I really don't know what I knew about you in the past, but I really don't know what I know about you today."

"Wen Yuan, can we talk more?" Xia Rui asked.

Xu Jie did not comment and did not answer.

"Wen Yuan, I figured it out and figured it out. I can give you whatever you want. Really." Xia Rui looked at Xu Jie with anticipation.

Xu Jie looked at Xia Rui. The person kneeling on the ground in front of him was really strange. In the past, Xia Rui would not do such a thing or kneel in front of others. In the past, the Xia Rui that Xu Jie saw in the past was at least a cheerful, tolerant and sincere person.

"The princes and princes? Regents? They are all OK. The soldiers and civil officials in the world are all OK." Xia Rui hurriedly said again.

Xu Jie slowly raised his hand and helped Xia Rui up, allowing Xia Rui to sit on the ground like he was.

Xu Jie's actions made Xia Rui's expectant look even more.

After Xia Rui sat down, Xu Jie sighed and said, "It's hard to collect the water."

Xia Rui had already grabbed Xu Jie's hands: "The water can be collected, and the water can be collected, but now it is just a matter of Wen Yuan's words, and I can be collected. In the future, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will listen to you."

Xu Jie did not pull out the hand that Xia Rui had tightly grasped, but instead gently used a little force to hold Xia Rui's hand and replied: "You really don't suit you. Your Majesty is more suitable than you."

Xia Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Wenyuan, Wenyuan, it's okay if I'm not suitable, it's fine if you're suitable. Isn't it just right? It's better than that suitable."

Xia Rui really thought of a truth, a very reasonable one. For a person like Xu Jie, an unsuitable emperor is obviously better than a suitable emperor.

Xu Jie suddenly frowned and asked a strange sentence: "Juemin, do you think I can still have the moment of indulging in the world in this life?"

Xia Rui didn't understand why, and didn't understand what Xu Jie meant. He thought that Xu Jie was using some tricks to test himself. He thought for a while and then replied: "Wenyuan, how can you indulge in the world? What's the best thing about indulging in the world? Where can you hold authority? You are born to be a powerful person in this court."

When Xu Jie heard this, he seemed a little depressed and replied, "Oh... Is it really only possible to live like this for the rest of his life?"

Xia Rui was shocked when he heard this, stunned for a long time and did not dare to speak. Even the sound of breathing subconsciously tightened.

Finally, Xia Rui finally said, as if he had made up some decision, "I promise you, I can promise you that it's okay to abdicate, as long as the time is right, it's okay to abdicate!"

Xu Jie was also shocked when he heard the word "abdication". He didn't understand when he said this, and he didn't understand where Xia Rui heard this word.

So Xu Jie stood up, glanced at Xia Rui's expectant eyes, and said, "I will not come to see you again in the future, take care of you."

When Xia Rui heard this, he quickly got up, grabbed Xu Jie's hand with all his strength, and said anxiously: "Wenyuan, Wenyuan, I will die. You can't just watch me die like this, how can you just watch me die like this?"

Xu Jie looked down at Xia Rui, his face as if he was a little unbearable.

"Wenyuan, you...you can't let me die!" Xia Rui was already crying and shivering. Xu Jie was already his last life-saving straw.

Xu Jie slowly raised his hand and brushed Xia Rui's hand.

Xu Jie had already left the yard, and the door panel behind him was slapped and pounding, and the heartbroken "Wen Yuan" was shouting.

Wei Jiu walked over from the darkness and walked slowly behind Xu Jie.

After walking for a long time, Wei Jiu still spoke first: "Tai Shi, how to deal with this matter? Should I kill or stay?"

Xu Jie stopped, looked back at Wei Jiu, and said, "I shouldn't have decided on this matter."

"I understand, I'll ask Your Majesty tomorrow." Wei Jiu was obviously also a staff member.

During the banquet, it seemed that many people were looking for Xu Jie, but no one dared to go out of this hall to look for him.

Seeing Xu Jie coming in, many people immediately came to worship.

When Xu Jie sat beside the emperor, the cups and cups were still not stopped. Xu Jie did not refuse, but instead remembered the appearance, names and official positions of these people one by one.

Xu Jie was really unfamiliar with this imperial court, so strange that almost everyone didn't know him very much.

Xu Jie did not express any disgust when he heard the flattering sounds of horses. The horses were simple and had long admired them. It was better to meet them than to be famous.

The horse is a little smarter, and it is a shocking person when he heard Xu Jie's poems.

The most clever thing about horses is to constantly praise Ouyang Zheng in front of Xu Jie, almost praising him as a saint, without saying anything else.

Xu Jie responded with a polite and gentle smile.

Zhang Li, who was beside him, had already had a long time to drink red face. When he clinked his glass with Xu Jie, he drank a big bowl.

Wu Zhongshu sat under Xu Jie, with a bit of a sense of neither humility nor arrogance, and kept introducing the officials to Xu Jie.

Of course, there are also those who do not come to respect Xu Jie, who are a little bit arrogant, and perhaps they are just as guilty as Li Zhi.

Xia Wen, who had always kept a little smile, saw that no one had stepped forward again, and finally spoke: "I just asked Mr. Wu that the Grand Master's ceremony of wearing a crown seems to be there for these few days, right? If the Grand Master is not busy, I wonder if I can help the Grand Master complete this ceremony?"

At the age of 20, Xu Jie really forgot this. After hearing Xia Wenzhi's words, he did not refuse. He just got up and bowed and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Wen's smile was already strong. Perhaps Xu Jie bowed and made Xia Wen feel very good. He said, "My honor is my great honor. The Grand Master is so young, but he has the talent of heaven and earth. It is really enviable."

Zhang Li, who was standing beside him, laughed: "That's right, brother... no, the Grand Master is really enviable. He is in his prime. Unlike me, a rough man, I am in my forties in the blink of an eye."

Xu Jie replied: "Your Majesty is too rewarded."

Xu Jie answered this way, and he felt a little at a loss in his heart. This at a loss is a little uncomfortable, occasions and scenes, especially the chat atmosphere, and this kind of straightforwardness is popular with people.

The banquet was not very lively, and today's banquet would not be lively. No one even seemed to have a few bites of the dishes, and no one talked about them.

It reveals a sense of embarrassment.

Xu Jie could see clearly, and after waiting for a while, he spoke, "Your Majesty, it's getting late today. I'll add another meeting tomorrow. Why don't you just leave like this today so that your colleagues can go home and sleep early."

Xia Wen nodded with a smile, stood up, and when everyone looked at him, he spoke, "You guys will return early and go to the court tomorrow."

Everyone stood up and bowed without saying a word.

But everyone stood still. Xu Jie waited for a moment before he realized that everyone was waiting for him to go out first.
