Seeing Zhu Houzhao leaving, Emperor Hongzhi sat in front of the imperial cabinet, thinking thoughtfully.
Xiao Jing walked in from outside the Nuan Pavilion, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has been taken back by Liu Jin and others!"
"Um!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, then looked at Xiao Jing as if he remembered something and said:
"Xiao Banban, what is Chen Rui's position now?"
"Your Majesty, Chen Rui is now the deputy governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."
"oh."
Emperor Hongzhi said simply, the expression on his face remained unchanged, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.
He knew Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui and he was quite capable. The British Duke Zhang Mao also mentioned it to him several times and he was also a strong general in his early years.
Now he is willing to stay in the capital with his idle position, which may be largely due to Chen Ziyu's relationship.
Xiao Jing lowered his head for a long time and didn't see Emperor Hongzhi speak. He was very curious. When he was about to raise his head, he heard Hongzhi's voice again.
"I previously ordered Chen Ziyu to go to the East Palace to give lectures to the prince, starting tomorrow! In addition, don't publicize this matter for the time being, and arrange an identity for Chen Ziyu! Do you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Jing nodded, he naturally understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant.
It stands to reason that the person who teaches the prince is either a great scholar or a bachelor. Chen Ziyu is the son of an earl and is also a famous playboy and prodigal.
Once the foreign ministers know that His Majesty has asked Chen Ziyu to teach the future prince, I am afraid that a group of imperial officials will kneel down outside the Meridian Gate!
Xiao Jing's mind was spinning rapidly, and he quickly came up with an idea. He cautiously said tentatively:
"Your Majesty, I have an idea."
"tell me the story!"
"Chen Ziyu is a martial artist. The descendants of my noble family always serve in the pro-army. Among the pro-army, the Jinwu Guards and the Yulin Guards are the most powerful. It would be better to transfer Chen Ziyu to the Yulin Guards and serve as a small flag officer. Responsible for the guard of Zhan Shifu."
"In this way, His Majesty's goal has been achieved, and the ministers outside will naturally have nothing to say."
As soon as Xiao Jing finished speaking, a strange light flashed in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiao Banban, your proposal is a good one. I will do as you say, but the position will be changed to 100 households."
Xiao Jing was a little confused and asked blankly: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, why is this?"
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him and said calmly: "My son-in-law is just a small flag officer. Is my face very bright?"
Xiao Jing was speechless for a moment!
This reason is really irrefutable!
The Xiaoqi official is from the seventh rank, which is indeed a bit out of the ordinary. The Baihu is from the sixth rank, not too big or too small, just right!
Xiao Jing immediately prostrated himself: "Your Majesty is wise, I will do it now!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
...
Chen Ziyu stood outside the Shouning Hou Mansion for half an hour.
Half an hour ago, the disciple of the Zhang family changed his usual enthusiasm after seeing Chen Ziyu, and just said to Chen Ziyu with a smile that he wanted to inform Chen Ziyu.
If it had been left in the past, Chen Ziyu would have given him a slap in the face!
Just relying on his relationship with Zhang Kangnian, a senior prostitute, does he still need to report?
But today, after all, I still came to the Zhang family to explain clearly the hatred of taking away my wife, and to ease the relationship.
So he agreed with a smile and waited for the disciple to report to the mansion.
Who knew that this door would never come back, and half an hour passed without anyone appearing.
"Ah Qiu!"
Chen Ziyu sniffed. Although the weather was not too cold now, it was still a bit chilly.
The wind has been blowing for so long, and I feel a bit cold.
When Li Yan heard Chen Ziyu sneezing, he suddenly became nervous and said with concern: "Master, are you okay?"
Chen Ziyu didn't speak, just waved his hand.
Li Yan pointed at Shouninghou Mansion and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, Shouninghou really doesn't care about our family. He actually made the master wait for so long. Master, why don't we go back! We won't accept it. Such a coward!"
Chen Ziyu turned his head and said impatiently: "What do you know? If I say half an hour today, I will still have to wait for ten hours!"
In fact, if it was according to Chen Ziyu's dandy temperament, there would be no need to do this. He could just turn around and leave or force his way in.
In the end, just pass the responsibility directly to the Zhang family.
However, Chen Ziyu patted his chest and promised in front of Emperor Hongzhi's family that the matter must be handled properly.
If he was rejected and walked away, his impression on Emperor Hongzhi would definitely be greatly reduced by then!
The most important thing for people in this era is integrity!
As the saying goes, a person cannot stand without faith, and this is what he means!
At this moment, the door of Shouning Hou Mansion opened, and a man who looked like a housekeeper walked out and came directly to Chen Ziyu.
There was a faint smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, oh no, it's Captain Chen. The master is waiting for you in the front hall!"
Chen Ziyu knew this person as Zhang Tong, the steward of Shouning Hou Mansion.
Chen Ziyu looked at Zhang Tong in front of him and suddenly laughed.
Seeing Chen Ziyu smiling inexplicably, Zhang Tong was a little confused, frowned and was about to ask.
I saw a cold light flashing in Chen Ziyu's eyes, raised his hand and slapped Zhang Tong on the face!
He just turned Zhang Tongfan around a few times before barely regaining his balance.
Holding Lao Gao's swollen cheeks.
"You're like a dog. What's your identity? Are you worthy of being looked down upon by Captain Ben?"
Chen Ziyu's cold voice sounded in Zhang Tong's ears.
Looking at Chen Ziyu's sharp knife-like eyes, Zhang Tong's hesitating eyes flickered, holding back his anger and not daring to speak.
"My father is Uncle Ping Jiang! My father-in-law is the current Holy Emperor! How can you, a little butler, have the courage?"
"Even if I beat you to death today, Marquis Shouning will have nothing to say!"
"snort!"
After saying that, Chen Ziyu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves vigorously, and walked directly past Zhang Zhongzhong to Shouning Hou's mansion.
Li Yan behind him looked at Chen Ziyu with stars in his eyes, wishing he could applaud and shout "Young Master is mighty, Young Master is domineering!"
I thought to myself, looking at the entire capital, who is as awesome and coaxing as our young master?
Chen Ziyu is quite familiar with Zhang Mansion and has been here many times before.
The maids and servants in the mansion also knew Chen Ziyu, so they came to the front hall without encountering many obstacles along the way.
Sure enough, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Bo of Jianchang, were both here.
When Shouning Hou Zhang Heling saw Chen Ziyu, he immediately pointed at Chen Ziyu angrily and shouted coldly:
"Hmph, you still dare to come!"
"Junior Chen Ziyu has met the two uncles. How good they are!"
Chen Ziyu didn't seem to hear Shouning Hou's accusation at all, and smiled and saluted the two Zhang brothers.
Zhang Yanling picked up the teacup in front of her without raising her head, opened the lid and blew gently, then took a sip and said expressionlessly:
"Okay? Hum! I'm afraid the only one who's good is your Pingjiang uncle's house!"
These words made Chen Ziyu quite embarrassed, and he smiled coquettishly!
Then he looked around, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
At this moment, Chen Ziyu noticed a man sitting beside him, wrapped in white cloth from head to toe, with only his eyes, mouth and nose exposed.
Suddenly he was a little surprised and said:
"Huh? You two uncles, who is this mummy brother?"
"My son is prosperous!"
"..."
