"yes."
The great eunuch Zhan Zhu slowly recounted the scene that happened outside the imperial city in detail.
between words and deeds.
There is not the slightest embarrassment.
"Haha, that's interesting."
"He's picking on me."
After Emperor Zhengde heard the whole story, he did not make any comments on the conflict between the two.
Instead, he chuckled and said something incredible.
"Your Majesty, I think the Sixth Prince didn't mean that. It was just a quick remark."
The great eunuch Zhan Zhu chuckled lightly and then slowly spoke.
Today in the main hall, Xu Yi's performance really made Zhan Zhu's eyes shine.
Emperor Zhengde showed no sign of anger.
Therefore, Zhan Zhu didn't mind putting in a kind word for Xu Yi.
"What? Did you accept Xu Yi's money?"
Seeing Zhan Zhu speaking for Xu Yi, Emperor Zhengde straightened his face and slowly asked.
He said he was questioning, but there was no sign of anger on his face.
"The Sixth Prince gave the old slave some money."
"But the old slave didn't accept it."
The great eunuch Zhan Zhu spread his hands and said frankly with a smile.
Although Zhan Zhu called himself an old slave in his words, he did not show the slightest timidity or restraint.
Instead, he replied half-jokingly like an old friend who has known him for many years.
Having accompanied Emperor Zhengde for decades, Zhan Zhu naturally knew when and how to treat Emperor Zhengde.
In recent years, as his body has become older, in Zhan Zhu's eyes, Emperor Zhengde was lonely at this time.
What he needs is not a groveling slave, but a loyal old slave who is willing to treat him with a normal heart.
As for Zhan Zhu, he can naturally seamlessly adjust his attitude anytime and anywhere.
as expected.
Emperor Zhengde was not angry at all when he heard this.
Instead, he laughed and scolded: "You, you, are you an old fool? Then Xu Yi gives you some silver, just accept it."
"Now that the internal funds are empty, you might as well subsidize my internal funds by collecting them."
Since the drought broke out, not only the national treasury but also the internal funds of Emperor Zhengde were empty.
The drought continued, and Emperor Zhengde was naturally embarrassed to take money from the treasury...
"It's my negligence, I will definitely do it next time."
Zhan Zhu smiled and quickly admitted his mistake.
As for what Emperor Zhengde said just now, in Zhan Zhu's opinion, it was only half true and half false.
Some people’s money can be collected, while some people’s money cannot be collected at all.
"Okay, now that this guy has begun to tease me overtly and covertly."
"Of course I can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"Let the cabinet draft a decree to appoint Xu Yi as Jing Zhaoyin and concurrently as the commander-in-chief of Guanzhong disaster relief."
"By the way, I would like to add another sentence, allowing him to freely enter and exit Zongzheng Temple during the disaster relief period."
Emperor Zhengde smiled, then his face straightened and he slowly gave instructions.
"The old slave accepts the order."
Emperor Zhengde's face straightened up, and Zhan Zhu instantly lost his intention to joke.
He responded loudly, then bowed his hands and walked slowly backwards out of the imperial study.
...
at the same time.
The carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion was already galloping on the official road on the outskirts of the city.
The speed of the carriage was more than twice as fast as in the city.
It doesn't take a while.
The carriage arrived at the main entrance of Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple.
Xu Yigang got off the carriage.
An extremely familiar exclamation sounded in his ears.
"Master Liu! Master Liu, you are back!"
Zhao Shou, who had been waiting at the door for who knows how long, saw the carriage coming.
Then he sat up from the ground. He kept waving to the carriage.
With an indescribable surprise on his face, his footsteps came out of the main entrance of Youningyuan from time to time.
But he never dared to step out of the main entrance of Youningyuan.
The surprise on his face gradually turned into anxiety.
In the end, I almost cried.
"Yier, go back quickly. On the eve of your appointment, my second uncle will come again to support you."
Looking at Zhao Shou who wanted to come out to greet him but didn't dare to step out of the main entrance of You Ningyuan, he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Xu Zhen really didn't want to disturb the reunion of the two masters and servants who shared the same fate.
"Then my nephew would like to send off my second uncle."
Xu Yi smiled, then bent down and bowed solemnly to Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhengang wanted to wave his hands and laugh, but for some reason, Xu Yi's solemn expression when he bent down came to mind.
"Okay, okay, I will accept it this time, thanks to my second uncle."
"Go back quickly."
Xu Zhen took a deep breath of cold air, then smiled and waved his hands.
When the carriage moved forward again, Xu Zhen rubbed his eyes that had become dry and astringent for some time.
"Sixth Master!"
"Sixth Master!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"Sixth Master!"
After the carriage from Prince Jin's Mansion was completely gone.
Zhao Shou could no longer control his inner excitement and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? Isn't your sixth master back alive?"
Xu Yi straightened up and walked quickly towards the small courtyard, laughing and cursing as he walked.
Zhao Shou in Youningyuan did not reply to Xu Yi's laughter and scolding.
It’s not that Zhao Shou is unwilling to answer.
But can't.
At this time, he tried hard to say something, but what came out of his mouth was a hoarse sound.
The closer it is to the main entrance of Youningyuan.
Xu Yi's steps became more and more happy.
In the end, the brisk walk turned into a trot.
At this time, Xu Yi was not half as gloomy and cold as before.
Like a child who has been away from home for many years and finally returns home.
The presence of Zhao Shou in Youningyuan, which he hated so much in the past, gave Xu Yi a sense of urgency to return home.
"Sixth Master!"
Xu Yigang walked into the main entrance of Youningyuan.
Zhao Shou rushed over suddenly.
Tears and snot were all smeared on Xu Yi's python robe.
"Uh...Sixth Master..."
Zhao Shou realized that he had done something frustrating and quickly let go of Xu Yi.
Very carefully, he wiped the snot and tears from Xu Yi's robe with his sleeves.
"Stop working so hard, just take a shower another day."
Xu Yi smiled and patted Zhao Shou on the shoulder, obviously not taking this seriously.
"How can that be done? This is Master Liu's first python robe."
Zhao Shou shook his head with red eyes. In his opinion, soiling Xu Yi's hard-won python robe was obviously a big deal.
"Oh, it's just a python robe."
"Okay, what do you look like crying!"
Xu Yi chuckled lightly and then scolded.
"oh."
Zhao Shou groaned, then sniffed and said, "Sixth Master, why don't you let Zhao Shou go wash it now?"
For some reason, Zhao Shou always felt unusually dazzling when he looked at the snot on Xu Yi's robe.
"It's getting late. Will you run away if you wash this python robe tomorrow?"
Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"No...no."
"That's fine then."
Seeing Zhao Shou's eyes move away from the snot on the python robe, Xu Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
The words are over.
Xu Yi walked towards the house.
For some reason, You Ningyuan always felt depressing in the past.
At this moment, Xu Yi felt a little fresh.
The plum blossoms that had always been ignored in the past suddenly bloomed into snow-white flowers.
