old friends return

Emperor Hengde looked at the two of them very satisfied, as if he just remembered that today is the first day for the prince to enter the court, and asked with concern: "If there is anything you don't understand about the prince's government, you can also ask the right minister. After all, Prime Minister Right was your teacher before."

"I thank my father for your concern."

Emperor Hengde said again: "Why don't you follow the prince to the Guards? I think you two brothers can be companions together." Cheng Muze's smile disappeared when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Cheng Muzhi, but Seeing Cheng Muzhi said: "My son has just entered the court, there are still many things I don't understand very well, and my qualifications are really inexperienced, so how can I compare with the elder brother?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Cheng Muze and said with a smile: "What's more, the elder brother is talented and intelligent. If the sons and ministers also go together, compared with the elder brother by the side of Chief Huang, I'm afraid it will pale in comparison and make people laugh. It's better not to humiliate yourself."

The tone was half-joking, but the attitude was also respectful. Seeing that Emperor Hengde didn't say anything, Cheng Muzhi said again: "Father, my son is a little dull when he first gets involved in government affairs, but he also knows that he is absolutely incompetent in military affairs." Talent, how can we bother Chief Huang again? Why don't you let your son focus on political affairs first and work hard?"

Zuo Xiang Yan Qi also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is reasonable. After all, the Crown Prince has just entered the court. Leaving the political affairs prematurely may make His Royal Highness alienate the ancestral temple. I hope the Emperor thinks twice."

Cheng Muze secretly rejoiced that Cheng Muzhi still had some self-knowledge. Yan Qi came out to speak for him, but in fact he was planning to go to the Guards alone. The guards are not for training but for military power. If Cheng Muzhi is also with him, it will be very inconvenient in the future.

Emperor Hengde himself just mentioned it casually, but he was slapped one after another, and he felt a little sullen in his heart, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to say: "The left minister's words are indeed reasonable, the prince should get in touch with more political affairs for the sake of it." Alright," looking at Huang Qingwen again: "General Manager Huang will have to work harder during this time."

Huang Qingwen naturally wanted to be polite, but he couldn't help regretting it in his heart. While thinking, he scolded himself for why he came to the court today. Wouldn't it be better to sleep at home like usual?Just after arriving, there was another matter, taking care of the emperor's child, right?What's more, I don't know if it's a child or a wolf cub...

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Emperor Hengde propped his head up on the dragon chair tiredly, and said to Su Wenquan next to him, "Retire." Su Wenquan immediately raised his voice: "Retire -"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

After retiring from the imperial court, Huang Qingwen wished he could rush back home now. He has always adhered to the principle that more things are worse than less things, and he only listened to Emperor Hengde alone. There is no merit or demerit, Emperor Hengde just took a fancy to his character, so he handed over the Guards to him so reassuringly.

Isn't it because he is sure that he doesn't have the guts to do something excessive with Cheng Muze?

But he had no choice but to come back early, he wanted to settle down, and someone wanted to pester him.Cheng Muze walked up to him politely, and bowed his hands to him, "In the future, I will trouble Chief Huang. Although the palace has been in the court for some years, I really haven't had much contact with such things as leading soldiers. At that time, President Huang will lead me to dislike him."

Huang Qingwen's face froze, and he couldn't force a smile: "What did His Royal Highness say? It's an honor to be a minister of yours," he said while cupping his hands towards the distant hall, "Since your majesty sees Important minister, how can the minister shirk?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Muze to say anything else, he continued: "Your Highness, I have something to do at home, so I will leave first. If Your Highness has any doubts in the future, you can also let me go to your house. I will leave." I hurriedly saluted, Turned around and walked away.

Yan Qi who was not far away followed, only to hear Cheng Muze sneer, "What a timid and timid thing. Such a person is really boring."

"Your Highness, you can't think like this..." Yan Qi's voice suddenly came from behind, Cheng Muze turned around, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"Your Highness, you think that this Huang Qingwen is timid, timid, and unwilling to have anything to do with us. It is indeed not a good thing for us, but if you think about it again, who is he not like this? What's more, we are far away from him now. The closest people..."

"To deal with this kind of person, it is best to grasp his weakness."

Cheng Muze thought so too, but what weakness does Huang Qingwen have?Leaving the handle aside, it is impossible to be an official to do this job if you really don't have any skills. It is not easy to find the handle. Thinking of this, Cheng Muze said to Yan Qi: "How many children does Huang Qingwen... have? "

"There is only one daughter, Huang Wanrong, who is waiting in her boudoir." Yan Qi was very satisfied that Cheng Muze could think of this quickly. After so long, he finally made some progress.

Cheng Muze responded, and said in a low voice: "But this hall has married a new imperial concubine for less than half a year, and Huang Qingwen only has this one daughter, how can he let his daughter be a side concubine? Besides, father would not agree with this hall. Quickly accept the side concubine, not to mention the tigress at home..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Muze seemed to be in unspeakable pain, and kept pouring out bitter water with Yan Qi,

Yan Qi was naturally too lazy to listen to his family affairs, not to mention the two stayed in the palace for a while, Yan Qi was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he had to say to Cheng Muze: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have my own plans in mind, Your Highness should go back first." Let's go to the government, I will send you a letter later."

Seeing this, Cheng Muze didn't say anything else, and went back to the mansion by himself.

Cheng Muzhi had already arrived outside the palace gate at this time, barely rubbing shoulders with the right minister, the right minister paused, and whispered to him: "You have no military talent, Your Highness is really humble, I don't know where An Ling came from " Cheng Muzhi said with a smile: "An Ling is something made by Gao Xuan and Lin Anyou, I don't have that ability, the right minister should stop making fun of me."

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage, and Gao Jin waited here for a while.

Hui Shan was far away, watching him leave, but unconsciously felt a little relieved in his heart. After all, he was better than before, and he was still calm in court today. At least he knew how to use his brain. He thought that his impulsive temper before It will take a long time to get better, but now it seems that he is much better than he imagined, at least he can tell the difference.

Liu Qingyan was in the kitchen at this time, and a quail had just been delivered to him. He wanted to make soup for Cheng Muzhi, so he came over to watch in person, so as not to overcook it.It happened to run into that maverick cat again, this time it was replaced with a cabbage, its paws were holding the root of the cabbage, and it gnawed on it like grinding its teeth.

The cook at the side saw him staring intently, smiled and said to him: "Isn't Mr. Liu seeing this cat for the first time? It's strange, every time I come to give it fish, it doesn't look at it directly, but the other vegetables don't." I gnaw it vigorously, and I don’t know if it grew up in the rabbit pile.”
