After sending Xu Jian away, Eunuch Cao turned around and returned to the imperial court.
The Holy Spirit picked up the pen to review the excerpts.
Eunuch Cao didn't say anything. He only refilled the tea gently, put away the tea cup used by Xu Jian, lifted the curtain and handed it out, and the tea waiter took it away.
While doing things, Eunuch Cao was thinking.
To be able to say that he is so good at not giving face to the prince is to help the Duke.
The Lord Pian Sheng did not sound unhappy.
Oh, yes.
The auxiliary Duke didn't even give the Holy Emperor face.
Fortunately, these are all matters in daily life, and the Holy Emperor will not mind. However, it would still be inappropriate if he always refuses to deal with important matters in the court.
Fortunately, Fu Guogong has loosened his mind a lot recently.
fine.
If the monarch and his ministers always fail to reach an agreement, he will wait on the side with fear.
On the other side, Xu Jian walked out along the palace road.
Halfway through the journey, a guard came towards me, his footsteps hurried, and he was sweating in the cold weather.
Xu Jian looked at the man.
The other party also saw Xu Jian, bowed hastily, and continued running forward.
Xu Jian saw him going to the royal study and made a rough guess: the people sent by the Holy One to dig Li Mi's grave in Jiangzhou were back.
As for the results of the digging, it was not something he could find out by going directly to the imperial study room now.
Xu Jian withdrew his gaze and walked all the way out of the Nangong Gate to the Qianbu Corridor.
Uncle Chengyi now has a casual job in the Hanlin Academy.
It was lunch break, Xu Jian went to the Hanlin Academy, and as soon as he walked in, the officials inside saw him. Some were curious, some saluted, and some acquaintances came up to talk to him.
"Why are you here, Duke Guo?"
Xu Jian cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city: "I just came out of the Imperial Study Room. Your Majesty asked me to give a few words to Uncle Chengyi."
"That's not a coincidence," the man laughed, "Uncle Chengyi is having a rest today, so he should be staying at home."
Xu Jian thanked him and said: "The Lord has told me what to do, so I have no choice but to go to the uncle's house to look for him."
Both sides held their hands together, and the man sent Xu Jian out of the Hanlin Academy.
Walking south along the long street, you will pass by the back gate of Honglu Temple.
Officials of Honglu Temple are also taking a rest.
Seeing Xu Jian's figure, I couldn't say hello since I was young.
There were also those who were not quick-witted and thought that Xu Jian came to Honglu Temple to look for Liu Jing. They subconsciously wanted to say "Master Liu, take a break", but his colleagues with quick eyes and quick hands covered their mouths.
As soon as Xu Jian left, his colleague stamped his feet and said: "One is named Liu and the other is Xu. Don't be stupid and treat them like father and son. If you can, just don't mention them."
"Aren't they just father and son?"
"Everyone in the court meeting knows that we had several arguments during the next court. It's hard to say what Mr. Liu is thinking. Anyway, Duke Fuguo doesn't like Mr. Liu, but you actually want to mention it in person..."
Xu Jian still walked forward, leaving behind these comments that he was accustomed to.
When they got out of the long street, Shen Chen had already arranged a sedan to wait in front for a while.
"This morning, Grandma He's family said she would stew mutton soup for you to ward off the cold." Shen Chen said as he handed Xu Jian the hand stove he had prepared.
Xu Jian took it and said, "If you don't go there now, go directly to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion."
Shen Chen was stunned.
where?
The Duke of Guo had already boarded the sedan, and the curtain fell down and dangled in front of Shen Chen's eyes.
Shenchen was so shaken that she couldn't recover for a while.
Sincere uncle's house?
Did he really hear it wrong?
They actually want to go to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion openly and openly...
As the sedan chair arrived outside the uncle's house, Shen Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Lin Dun took the post and welcomed Xu Jian into the door. Soon, Lin Yu came after hearing the news.
"Uncle," Xu Jian saluted and said, "I am here on the orders of the Holy One."
Lin Yu smiled.
Whether it's the business in Laoshi Alley or his cooperation with Xu Jian around the BRIC, it's all under the water.
On the surface, the relationship between Lin and Xu is just that they are officials in the same court and nod their heads.
Xu Jian is young, but he is also very cautious in doing things. Lin Yu believes that he will not knock on his door rashly.
What the Holy Father ordered us to do is indeed justified.
Lin Yu led Xu Jian to the study.
The way of hospitality should be introduced at least twice when passing by the hall and porch.
Xu Jian listened very carefully.
Lin Yu saw it in his eyes and said: "The title is different, so it should be inferior to the Duke's Palace."
"The popularity is different," Xu Jian replied, "Since there are many people in Uncle Chengcheng's house, it seems more lively."
Lin Yu chuckled.
At this time, it is not good to be self-effacing.
After entering the study, Lin Ju served tea, then left and guarded the door.
Only then did Xu Jian bring up the previous incident: "The ability to catch Wang in Sixth Year depends entirely on my uncle's tip. Otherwise, in such a big capital, I really don't know where to find him."
"I just took advantage of it," Lin Yu said. "The Holy One asked the Duke to come over, but what did Wang say in the sixth year?"
Xu Jian avoided the important matter and did not mention the real reason why he was arranged by the Holy Emperor. He only continued to talk about the sixth year of the King's reign.
"The chamberlain is very stubborn. I once tested Eunuch Cao's tone. The king has suffered a lot for six years but refused to explain properly," Xu Jian said, "However, the people who went to Jiangzhou to dig graves came back, and I happened to meet him when I left the palace. I’m following him, but I don’t know what news I’ll bring back.”
The two exchanged a lot of information and did some sorting.
Involving the death of Prince Ding, all investigations in the royal study room were started based on this, but the investigation of gold bricks and banned books was dropped.
As long as you don't let the gold bricks see the light for a year and a half, and then find another gold shop to melt them, it will be safe.
Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said, "The Duke said he was under the orders of the Holy One?"
This time, Xu Jian couldn't avoid the topic anymore.
"After the court, I followed the Holy Emperor to Cining Palace and met the princess," Xu Jian said. "I heard from the princess that I found out that before we arrived, the prince went to see the empress dowager first, and also brought Liu Xun and Liu Xun to the palace. Even my younger brother took him with him."
When Lin Yun heard that it was related to Lin Yunyan, he was extremely careful.
When the words came to his lips, knowing the relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family, Lin Yu didn't use the term "younger brother" to address him: "Prince, do you know him?"
"I shouldn't have recognized him at first. He had been at Anlu Academy and only came back these two days," Xu Jian said. "He had evil intentions and asked the princess to drive him away. He didn't even see the Queen Mother."
Lin Yu:......
How could Yun Yan, with her petty temper, lose such a temper in Cining Palace?
How offensive was Liu Xun to get offended like this?
Seeing Lin Yu frowning, Xu Jian thought for a while and said, "The Holy One didn't know that I knew the princess, so he wanted to bring me together, so he called me to Cining Palace."
Suddenly, Lin Yan's brows frowned even more tightly.
The word "bringing together" is very jarring to my ears.
"Uncle, there is no need to be so nervous," Xu Jian not only dared to say, but also dared to tell the truth all the way, "The Queen Mother will most likely not agree to the wishful thinking of the Holy One, so there is no need for you to say no.
But it was also convenient for me. I just took advantage of this incident to visit the uncle's house, so that no one would think of my previous contacts.
It's just that Liu Xun may have bad intentions, and the princess will not be tricked by him, but the Liu family has a lot of tricks, who knows what sinister tricks they will use. "
