"Your Highness, we are here!"
Song Huan was leaning on the carriage with his eyes closed, and he slowly opened his eyes when he heard Xiao Lingzi's call.
He originally planned to go back to the palace directly, but somehow, as if by mistake, he ordered someone to drive the carriage outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I wanted to close my eyes and relax here for a while before going back, but I don't know whether it was because of a tacit understanding or something, but I happened to meet Cheng Susu who had just returned home.
"Huh?"
"Why don't you go in?"
Cheng Susu was a little surprised to see Song Huan's carriage parked outside.
Song Huan smiled and shook his head: "I have nothing to do when I go in. I have to keep my father-in-law busy."
"Stay here for a while, then I plan to go back to the palace!"
Cheng Susu also sighed after hearing this.
"Indeed, dad has been involved in many things in the past two days, and he is indeed a little upset."
"It seems to have something to do with the imperial examination!"
Song Huan couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't my father give an order that the Ministry of Rites should fully cooperate with my father-in-law?"
"But what happened again?"
Cheng Susu shook her head: "I don't know the details!"
"I just know that the Ministry of Rites always pushes back and refuses to do anything."
"In addition, the Xia Kingdom is about to come to court, and the Ministry of Rites always uses this as an excuse to shirk the tasks my father has ordered them to do!"
"As a result, His Majesty has assigned the task for so long, and the progress is still very slow."
"My father worries about this every day, and the food is not very good. He rarely shows up in the house!"
Thinking of her father's appearance of not having enough food and clothing, Cheng Susu's brows were filled with sadness.
Song Huan frowned: "Who in the Ministry of Rites is pushing back and blocking?"
"Fucking fart!"
"Of course, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, is responsible for receiving envoys."
"Are all the rest of the Rites Department responsible for this matter?"
"That's nonsense!"
With that said, Song Huan turned to Cheng Susu: "Don't worry, I will report it to my father when I go back."
"Anyone who dares not to cooperate with my father-in-law will be killed without mercy!"
"My father also attaches great importance to the imperial examinations. I'm afraid he doesn't know that something like this will happen!"
Hearing Song Huan's words, Cheng Susu's eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you?" Song Huan was stunned, "Girl, when did you become so polite?"
"As a husband, isn't this what I should do?"
Cheng Susu pursed her lips, puzzled by Song Huan.
"husband?"
"What is a husband?"
"Why do you always talk nonsense and make people unable to understand!"
"Ever since that brat from Tianlin got to know you, he talks nonsense every day, making it hard for people to understand..."
Cheng Susu was talking coquettishly when she suddenly saw Song Huan coming forward and kissing her little cheek with a "bah" sound.
"This is the power that a husband can exercise!"
Saying that, Song Huan stretched out his big hand again and held Cheng Susu's small fist in his palm.
"This is also the power that my husband can exercise!"
"understand?"
Song Huan's natural behavior successfully made Cheng Susu's smooth face red.
"you……"
"You are getting more and more courageous now!"
"This is outside my house!"
"What about outside your home?" Song Huan tightened his grip on Cheng Susu's little hand, "You are already mine, Song Huan!"
"Whatever I do to you, isn't that just a matter of course?"
Hearing this, Cheng Susu's face was as red as a ripe tomato!
The two whispered for a while, but when they saw that it was too late, Song Huan reluctantly took Cheng Susu back to his house.
By the time Song Huan hurried back to the palace, it was already dead of night and no one was around.
After a brief rest, Song Huan felt sleepy and planned to go to the Imperial Study Room to try his luck and see if Emperor Liang had rested.
Sure enough, the lights in the imperial study were brightly lit, and it was obvious that Emperor Liang was still handling government affairs.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"It's been a long time since I gave you a late-night snack for my father. I've prepared some fruit mille-feuille for my father tonight. Please try it, father!"
Emperor Liang didn't seem to be in a good mood. When he saw that Song Huan was coming, he smiled.
"You've been very busy lately. It's been a long time since you've come to give me a midnight snack!"
Song Huan grinned: "My son, why don't you be busy?"
"If you, my son, are busier, you can help your father with more government affairs!"
"When I came in just now, I saw my father frowning and he seemed to be in a bad mood."
"But what happened?"
Recalling what happened just now, Emperor Liang was instantly stunned.
"This Xu Rong, relying on his achievements outside, is simply lawless!"
"You really turned against him!"
"I don't know why he went crazy at night. As soon as he saw me, he shouted that he must impeach the Grand Master!"
"Why don't I think so?"
"But is it that simple?"
"It's a fool's errand, a common man's behavior!"
Emperor Liang was obviously very angry with Xu Rong. When he mentioned him, he had endless complaints!
Song Huan repeatedly advised: "Father, calm down!"
"This General Hufu has been fighting for many years, and his heart has long been wild."
"In the army, he is a general respected by everyone and a well-deserved boss."
"But now that he has returned to Beijing, he can only succumb to the emperor and be an honest and responsible minister."
"Do you think, given his temper and ambition, will he be honest and content with the status quo?"
Song Huan's analysis made Emperor Liang's expression gradually become serious.
"good."
"Your worries are not groundless. I have also considered what you said!"
"However, although Xu Rong's attitude is a bit arrogant, he still has the proper etiquette."
"It can be said that so far, apart from his bad temper, I can't fault him for anything!"
"In the hearts of all the people in the world, he is still a great general who made great achievements!"
"If I can't find a high-sounding reason and just deal with him like this, I will definitely be despised by all the people in the world."
"What's more, Xu Rong has been in the army for many years and has many followers..."
Emperor Liang's worry was not unreasonable, but Song Huan just smiled and shook his head.
"No!"
"Father, it's not your turn to personally come forward in this kind of thing!"
"Xu Rong has always been at odds with Shangguan Yi. This is already known to everyone."
"If you can intentionally guide it and strengthen the conflict between the two of them, let them target and attack each other..."
"Then wouldn't you be able to just sit back and enjoy the success?"
Song Huan's words made Emperor Liang burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"You boy, you are worthy of being my biological son!"
"Why do you want to go with me again?"
"I do have this intention, but the two of them are very cautious in everything they do. It's really hard to catch anything!"
"The two of them had a quarrel tonight, and Xu Rong came to complain in front of me. I just stayed in the middle and muddle through."
