The Ni family had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him arriving, several servants immediately split into two. Some ran to the inner hall to report, while others went out to lead horses to greet him.
After walking around the screen wall for a short distance, Ni Chenyi hurried out of the inner hall with a spring breeze on his face. At first, he only took care of his manners and just walked quickly. But later he couldn't control his excitement and ran forward. He folded his palms on his left waist and bent his knees. , "See Sir Xantai."
Changsheng knew that she was having fun, so he ignored her and walked straight to the inner hall.
Ni Chenyi took a few steps to catch up and held out his hand, "You really can't wait for revenge. You arrested people and ransacked homes. You should be in a good mood. Why are you keeping a straight face?"
Ni Chenyi rarely acted intimately, and the sudden holding of hands made Changsheng Duo feel uncomfortable. He wanted to pull his hand away, but thought that the two of them had already decided on their fate, so he did not do so.
"How come you know everything?" Changsheng asked casually.
"Not only I know, everyone in Chang'an knows," Ni Chenyi said with a smile, "You arrested people as soon as you took office, even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
"This person has criticized and slandered me a lot in the court." Changsheng said.
"I know," Ni Chenyi said, "After the court, someone came over and told my father what happened during the morning court. We all know who said what in the court and what attitude each person had."
Seeing Ni Zhuo and the eldest lady coming out of the inner hall, Chang Sheng stopped talking to Ni Chenyi. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to the two of them, "Greetings to your lord and Madam."
Ni Zhuo smiled and returned the greeting, "I have filled an important position for the first time in the court, and I am in charge of the Yushitai. I am very happy and congratulated."
"Ashamed, ashamed," Changsheng shook his head and said, "There were many opponents in the court today. Fortunately, many courtiers who are good friends with the Lord spoke for me, so I reluctantly took up my new post and took office smoothly."
Changsheng spoke the truth. In addition to being loyal to the emperor, many of the ministers who spoke for him today had personal relationships with Ni Ni. Of course, they were supporting the emperor by speaking out. At the same time, they were aware of the relationship between the two and were selling off Ni Ni's face. .
Ni Zhuo did not take any credit, he waved his hand humbly, invited Changsheng into the hall, and ordered the servants to start the banquet and serve the dishes.
After taking his seat, Changsheng stood up again and thanked Ni Zhuo, "Thank you sir and madam for your generous gifts and your help."
"It's nothing, don't show up to others," Ni Zhuo smiled and waved, "congratulations again, the imperial censor is a legal official. You can fill this gap, and everyone in the Ni family will be honored."
Chang Sheng felt ashamed again, and then sat down again under Ni Chenyi's pull.
Changsheng wanted to know what Ni Zhuo thought of what he did today, but Ni Zhuo did not mention it. He just asked what support he needed after taking over the Yushitai, as well as the specific situation of the official residence, and the Yushitai. What is your diet, and other living conditions such as this?
Not long after, the food was served. Knowing that Changsheng is not used to eating rare things, today's dishes were mostly common vegetables, including porridge and rice, with half meat and half vegetables.
Chang Sheng was not nervous or worried, and he ate to the fullest without losing etiquette. The so-called etiquette is actually very simple. First, he did not smack his mouth, and second, he picked up the food with the first bite. What is what is, will never be picked up and put down again. Furthermore, when picking up vegetables, you can stretch your arms to pick up vegetables in the distance, but only pick up the small area of the plate facing you.
After the meal, tea was served. When the tea was served, the lady tasted it, put the cup down, stood up and left.
The eldest lady knew the etiquette very well, and knowing that Ni Zhuo was going to discuss important matters with Chang Sheng, she wanted to take Ni Chenyi away with her, but Ni Chenyi finally saw Chang Sheng, and there were stars in her eyes, so she was unwilling to leave.
Ni Zhuo also knew that Ni Chenyi was not a talkative and ignorant person, and he was not worried that she would talk nonsense, so he winked at the eldest lady, who understood and left alone.
Changsheng originally thought that Ni Zuo would take the initiative to speak, but Ni Ni still said words of concern and did not touch on the main topic.
Many Chang Sheng admired Ni Zuo's approach. Ni Ni did not regard himself as an elder and directly gave him advice and evaluation. This was a very smart approach.
It is the attitude of the elders not to point fingers at the younger generation, but it is the attitude of the younger generation to take the initiative to ask for advice. In the end, Changsheng took the initiative to ask Ni Tuo for his opinion on his appointment as the imperial censor.
Ni Zhuo did not answer immediately. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "The imperial censor has a high and powerful position. I didn't expect that the imperial court would appoint you to such an important position. Although the Ni family has some friends who are officials, such an important official position is not for them." You can control what you specify."
After Ni Tuo finished speaking, Chang Sheng did not answer immediately. Ni Tuo's words had two meanings. First, he did not take credit. Although some people looked at his face and said good things for him in the court, these people could not play a decisive role. The second is to ask, the court will never appoint such an important position casually, and there must be unknown reasons.
If it were anyone else, Chang Sheng would naturally not tell the truth, but he didn't hide it from Ni Zuo. It wasn't that he didn't want to hide it, but that Ni Zuo already had the answer in his heart, and he just wanted to confirm it.
The reason why Ni Zhuo knew the answer was because Ni Zhuo went to Baoqing Inn last night and wanted to wait for him to go back to eat after the parade with Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo at Baoqing Inn. As a result, he was called away midway, and Ni Chenyi was also there at that time. At the scene, Ni Chenyi had already guessed who the person who called him away was, so he would naturally tell Ni Zhuo secretly, so Ni Zhuo knew that he had met the emperor last night.
Even if he told the truth, Changsheng didn't say much, "I knew you were at Baoqing Inn yesterday evening. The reason why you couldn't come back to see you was because someone summoned you privately."
Ni Zhuo was still very satisfied with Changsheng's answer, because Changsheng neither concealed anything from him nor explained the process in detail, which showed that Changsheng was a person who could keep secrets.
Although Ni Ni had been informed of the early court situation, Ni Ni still had doubts in his heart, "It is not his style for a tall man to be mediocre and mature. It is not his style to fight against everyone's opinions."
Ni Chenyi said from the side, "This old man seems to have a relationship with Longhu Mountain."
Ni Zuo smiled and waved his hand, "The portion is not enough."
Although the officials who participated in the morning court had told Ni Zhuo what happened in the morning court, only Changsheng himself saw Yang Fugong raise his hand to Gao Shizhong. This detail was unknown to others.
After pondering, Changsheng whispered, "After Zhengbei took back his life, someone raised his hand towards him."
"That's right." Ni Zhuo nodded slowly.
"Dad, although Changsheng is smart, he is still young after all," Ni Chenyi was worried. "The situation in the court is complicated and dangerous. Do you have any advice or warnings..."
Before Ni Chenyi could finish speaking, Ni Zhuo interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "There is no need to worry unfounded, Changsheng can handle it on his own."
Ni Chenyi said again, "But the tiger is no match for the wolves. Today we went up to the court..."
"Concern leads to chaos!" Ni Zhuo frowned dissatisfied, "Do you really think that a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves? Have you ever thought about the consequences of defeating the pack of heroes and becoming a majestic one?"
As soon as Ni Zhuo said this, Ni Chenyi suddenly realized it and looked at Changsheng with extremely admiring eyes. Changsheng also looked at Ni Zhuo with the same eyes at this time.
After criticizing Ni Chenyi, Ni Zhuo turned to look at Changsheng with satisfied and gratified eyes, "With both civil and military skills, wisdom and courage, I'll find a husband like you, it's really a high achievement."
Hearing Ni Zhuo's words, Changsheng blushed instantly, "Your Excellency, I, I..."
Ni Chenyi stomped her feet in embarrassment, "Dad, I was the one chasing him. If you say good things about him, his tail will reach the sky."
"Haha." Ni Zhuo laughed heartily.
"Sir, she is right. I am indeed young. You are an elder and a wise man. Please criticize me more and give me advice from time to time." Changsheng said.
Ni Zhuo waved his hand, "The ancients said, once you know everything, you will realize a thousand things. Although you are young, you are already enlightened and can do well no matter what you do."
"Dad, don't just praise him, criticize him." Ni Chenyi picked up the pot and poured tea.
"Changsheng has never done anything wrong," Ni Zhuo smiled and then returned to seriousness, and whispered to Changsheng, "No matter what you do, we will fully support you. You can do it with confidence and boldness. I had an account with you before. The family property far away in the Western Region has not been recorded, and there are thousands of taels of gold in the hoard. Even if the world is turned upside down one day, we still have a way out."
Changsheng knew the weight of these words, was moved in his heart, and nodded heavily.
"Now there are ears and eyes from both sides everywhere. In order to avoid people's suspicion, you and I will meet as little as possible in the future. If you have anything, you can let Yi'er tell each other." Ni Zhuo said in a low voice.
Changsheng nodded again.
Ni Zuo hesitated to speak, but finally said, "I only have one request for you."
"Sir, please speak." Changsheng looked directly at Ni Zhuo.
"If one day you find that there is no way to save yourself, you should leave as soon as possible. Don't go against the will and capsize with the boat..."
