After Chen Ziyu returned to the Yulin Guard House, a group of people gathered around him, nodded and bowed, and greeted him with flattering faces.
Those who are able to sneak into the Habayashi Guards have more or less backgrounds in their families, and all of them are human beings.
Everyone has seen with their own eyes that the new Lord Baihu dared to beat up the prince's personal eunuch, so wouldn't it be easy to control himself and others?
Now that I saw that he came back unscathed after meeting the prince, I was even more impressed with admiration!
This is the real genius!
Yang Huan was a smart person. He quickly bowed his head and came to Chen Ziyu. He smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Chen, you are back. Please take a seat!"
Chen Ziyu nodded with satisfaction and sat on the chair swaggeringly.
"That's what you're having fun with, right? You're doing well, I'm very optimistic about you!"
When Yang Huan heard Chen Ziyu praise him, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter: "Sir, my humble name is Yang Huan, thank you for the compliment!"
"Your Excellency, it will be time for lunch soon. Why don't you humble your position and wait for someone to arrange a place for you to take care of yourself?"
Chen Ziyu looked curious, "We are on duty in this palace, how can we leave our posts without permission?"
"Sir, look at what you said, how can we be called AWOL? Aren't there other brothers taking turns changing their posts here?"
Speaking of this, Yang Huan paused for a moment, looked around and then said in a low voice:
"Besides, what danger could there be in the inner courtyard of the palace? Sir, you are worrying too much!"
Chen Ziyu nodded, knowing in his heart that these people might do this often.
Chen Ziyu stared at Yang Huan with a faint smile on his face. After a while, he slowly stood up from the chair and said:
"I'm going to pay homage to His Majesty and the Queen later. I don't need to eat. Let's wait for another day!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were slightly shaken.
Although they were on duty in the palace, they could not see the emperor a few times throughout the year. Even if they could see him, they could only look at him from a distance, and they could not get a glimpse of the emperor's true appearance.
They are also descendants of honorable nobles, and adults from hundreds of families can be called one of them!
Especially Yang Huan and Wang Cheng looked at each other, and then they were full of smiles, and cautiously tried:
"My lord, did your Majesty and the Queen summon you?"
Chen Ziyu's face was stern and he immediately refuted:
"Hey, what's this? As the Prince Consort, why do I need to summon him?"
"Yes, yes, sir, what you are saying is that two men in humble positions made a mistake!"
Yang and Wang bent down even lower and apologized quickly.
Chen Ziyu laughed, patted the two of them on the shoulders, put his hands behind his back and walked out with his head held high.
...
In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in front of the imperial cabinet, with several ministers sitting on both sides of his head, discussing political affairs.
I saw a young eunuch walking in, kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Chen Baihu wants to see you."
"Ziyu? Why is he here?"
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and muttered softly.
He was just about to tell him to go to the side hall to wait, but then he remembered that today was his first day as an errand in Zhan Shifu.
Could it be related to the prince?
"Let him come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After a while, Chen Ziyu entered the Nuan Pavilion under the leadership of the young eunuch.
Seeing that there were other people inside, Chen Ziyu was slightly startled and immediately returned to normal.
He knelt down directly on the ground and said honestly: "I bow to your majesty, long live your majesty!"
The corners of Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched, "Sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ziyu then got up and looked at Emperor Hongzhi obediently.
"Ahem! Chen Qing's family is anxious to see me. What's the matter?"
Chen Ziyu shook his head and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I just miss you after not seeing you for many days, so I came over immediately to say hello after getting off work today."
"To me, Your Majesty is as bright as the sun in the sky. I never want to bathe in the Emperor's grace. It turns out that I am like a lost child. Only after meeting His Majesty did I find my way home."
"Your Majesty is my heaven to me. It is your Majesty who has allowed me to find the meaning and hope of life. I am so grateful that I am so grateful! I am willing to turn into a speck of dust on your Majesty's body and stay with him forever!"
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became stupid!
This, this, this...
I have never heard of this flattery!
Bah, no!
There are still outsiders here. How will I behave in the future after saying these words?
Those who don’t know may think that I am just trying to gain fame and reputation, and I like to listen to flattery behind my back!
"Ziyu, don't talk nonsense!"
Emperor Hongzhi's face was stern and he pretended to be angry.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian were stunned!
Are there such shameless people in this world?
It is simply an embarrassment to scholars and officials!
You must know that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty took the literary character very seriously, and they all took pride in admonishing the emperor. They would rather be punished with a stick than compromise with the emperor.
As the saying goes, I would rather die than surrender!
If someone flatters the emperor so disgustingly in front of outsiders, if his colleagues see him, will he be able to hold his head high in the future?
In fact, this is not to blame for the misunderstanding between the three people. The main reason is that in order to make herself look more elegant, Chen Ziyu changed into a Confucian shirt commonly worn by scholars after getting off work.
Only then did the three cabinet college students misunderstand that Chen Ziyu was a scholar!
Emperor Hongzhi saw the faces of the three cabinet ministers out of the corner of his eye and felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, Ziyu, please step aside first! I still have something to discuss with the three Qing family members."
"oh!"
Chen Ziyu groaned and was about to retreat when he heard a voice coming into his ears.
"Wait!"
Chen Ziyu raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xie Qian stood up, cupped his hands towards Emperor Hongzhi and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner:
"Your Majesty, I wonder who this man is who is as articulate as Li Guang?"
When Chen Ziyu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
This Xie Qian is really as recorded in the history books as "Li Gongmou, Liu Gongjuan, and Xie Gongyou can talk"!
Logically speaking, to praise someone is either to be quick-thinking, courageous, or personable, showing talent, etc.
Xie Qian came up and directly labeled himself as articulate and said that he looked like Li Guang!
To put it bluntly, he is accusing himself of being eloquent and deceiving others.
You must know that the Li Guang mentioned by Xie Qian is not the Han flying general Li Guang, but the eunuch Li Guang.
Emperor Hongzhi's trust in eunuch Li Guang could be said to be deep down, and he could be considered as obedient.
In the end, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and threatened to kill Li Guang. Li Guang was so frightened that he committed suicide.
Counting the days, it has been more than half a year since Li Guang died.
Now that he suddenly saw Chen Ziyu, Xie Qian couldn't help but stand up and feel weird, thinking that Emperor Hongzhi had found a treacherous minister from somewhere!
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Chen Ziyu, his meaning was obvious, blaming Chen Ziyu for causing trouble for him!
