63.Chapter 63
Fang Zi sent it out, Tang Yanxiu still went to the court as before, Shen Ning was fine, and he stayed alone in the prime minister's mansion.
Now that the weather is slowly getting colder, and his body is not particularly comfortable, Shen Ning is too lazy to go out, most of the time he is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Tang Yanxiu is afraid that he will be bored, so he got a lot of things, last time Shen Ning said that he wanted to study the dishes in the capital, Tang Yanxiu went to get an imperial chef to come over, and he didn't know how he did it.
Therefore, Shen Ning is now cooking with the imperial kitchen, and several subordinates are following him, for fear that Shen Ning will accidentally hurt himself.
However, this imperial chef was not as polite as them, and after watching Shen Ning cook a dish, he didn't say a word, and directly threw him a kitchen knife.
Let's practice knife work first, when can you cut the thickness of a whole radish the same, it will be qualified.
Looking at the radish slices of different sizes, Shen Ning scratched his head a little embarrassed, this is indeed ...... It's not pretty.
So, Shen Ning obediently began to practice knife work and cut radish, this is still for the sake of his body, and he thinks that he is a brother, and his subordinates are merciful, otherwise, it is estimated that it will be more than just cutting radish.
However, the imperial chef also recognized Shen Ning in some aspects, and felt that this brother had ideas, which was much stronger than his apprentice.
Shen Ning, who has seen various dishes in modern times, is a little embarrassed by the praise of the imperial chef, but he has worked harder, but this radish is not easy to cut.
Shen Ning was upside down in the mansion, and Tang Yanxiu was upside down in the court.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music."
"What's the matter with the Prime Minister?" The emperor sitting on the dragon chair is particularly tolerant of Tang Yanxiu, this is something that everyone in the court knows, and many people feel that this Tang Prime Minister may be the first person in the court in the future, he is young, and there are rumors that the emperor intends to marry a highness to Tang Yanxiu, who is also a prime minister, and a relative of the emperor, and has a bright future.
Many people are thinking about whether to send their brother to the Prime Minister's Mansion, although the Prime Minister has said that he will not marry again, but his brother is just an ordinary country brother now, even if this Tang Prime Minister is for fame to live this brother in the mansion, but it does not help him, the ministers do not believe it, this Tang Yanxiu will really refuse completely.
Moreover, even if there is no position of the king, isn't there still a king? When their brother goes in and stands firm, with status, what does a Zhengjun with no background have to care about.
Just when the ministers were thinking about it, Tang Yanxiu had already handed over the evidence of the corruption of the household servant.
The faces of the ministers immediately changed, especially the Tobe squire, he didn't expect that the solid evidence he had hidden would be found out like this.
"Disaster relief funds, money for road repairs, Li Aiqing, you are really my good Aiqing!" The emperor turned the pages one by one, his face became more and more ugly, and the household servant immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, your majesty forgives your sins."
"Humph!"
The begging for mercy of the household servant is naturally useless, and the ministers above do not dare to say a word, this kind of thing, if it is not found out, then it is okay, once it is found out, absolutely no one will be stupidly involved in this matter.
And......
Everyone vaguely glanced at the place where King Jing was, this household servant was a person from King Jing, and it was said that he also had some relatives with the former prime minister Li Su, and it seemed that he was a distant nephew of his.
Thinking of those things at the beginning, as well as Li Su's brother, who is now King Jing's side king, many people feel that they "understand" something.
This, this is obviously revenge for the events of the year!
No wonder the emperor was so relieved to let Prime Minister Tang take power, it turned out to be to deal with King Jing.
In the end, because of the conclusive evidence, Li Shilang was thrown into prison, King Jing ate a turtle, and Tang Yanxiu's eyes were all cloudy, and the atmosphere in the court changed in an instant.
Tang Yan repaired the court, but he didn't go anywhere, so he went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion directly.
At the same time, an uninvited guest also came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Side-kun." The porter looked at the people and servants outside the door, his eyes widened, and one immediately ran in to sue Shen Ning.
King Jing's side monarch is here, this is a big Buddha, and more importantly, this prime minister who seemed to have a lot of relationship with them before.
"Oh, King Jing is here?" Shen Ning thought about this King Jing's side monarch for a while, but he didn't think what kind of character this was, King Jing he had seen it, what was this side king running for?
"Right outside the door, the butler is receiving."
"That's it." Shen Ning nodded and continued to cut the radish, "You go and tell Uncle Nan, just say that if that side gentleman doesn't mind, bring it here, it's clean enough anyway." ”
In order to facilitate Shen Ning's practice, they simply vacated a house for him and made it clean, although Shen Ning felt that there was no need for this, but he really couldn't smell too strong, and the imperial chef was impatient to stay in the same kitchen with him, in his words, seeing Shen Ning cutting vegetables like that, he was irritable in his heart.
Shen Ning was helpless, but he still moved obediently, and now this is his exclusive kitchen.
In the past few days, the people in the house have also known that their Zhengjun especially likes to "cook", although he is from the countryside, he does not have the "rustic" of those countrymen, and he is also very good to his subordinates, but there is always the one who doesn't want to fly on the branches, and he always talks nonsense behind his back, Shen Ning knows, and he just smiles.
This kind of person, the more he cares, the more energetic he becomes, and the best way is to beat him and not be able to take care of himself.
"This ......" After listening to Shen Ning's words, the subordinates were a little hesitant, didn't Zhengjun know the previous relationship between King Jing and the Prime Minister?
"What's wrong?" Shen Ning turned back suspiciously, did he want to say that he was not in harmony with the number of courtesies in doing this? But there is no way, this hot drink has reached the last moment, as long as it is done well, it is the ancient version of "milk tea".
"This side gentleman is the brother of the Prime Minister's teacher." The face of the subordinate was mysterious, Shen Ning thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this one.
It turns out that this side gentleman is Tang Yanxiu's former childhood sweetheart?
Shen Ning smiled instantly.
"Jeong-kun." The subordinate looked at Shen Ning and smiled, a little anxious, it is definitely not a good thing for this side gentleman to come to the mansion now, in case the prime minister still misses him, this is ......
"It's fine." Shen Ning waved his hand, and just as he wanted to step out, he was pulled by his stomach.
"This son is really uncomfortable." Shen Ning slapped his hand on his belly and scolded in his mouth, seeing that everyone's little hearts were beating and jumping.
Zhengjun, this is not worrying, it should be you!
It was not good to walk in stride, Shen Ning walked a little slower, but it was not to the point of being helped, so a few subordinates followed him and went to the lobby together, where King Jing and Li Yun were sitting.
"I'm late, I'm sorry." Walking with a heavy stomach is a little uncomfortable, but it's only been six months, how will I live after that?
"No problem." Li Yun was drinking tea, and when he saw Shen Ning coming, he put down the teacup. "Zhengjun is not feeling well, so there is no need to be polite."
Shen Ning nodded, and then sat down, this Li Yun is not a white moonlight character as he imagined, whether he speaks, words and deeds, it can be seen that this is a very cultured person, chatting with him, it is unexpectedly comfortable.
"I don't know if you're here this time, but what's the matter?" Comfortable is comfortable, the business still has to be asked, if he is asked to persuade Tang Yanxiu not to go against his father Li Su, then forget it.
Li Yun glanced at Shen Ning, but he didn't expect this person to be so direct, really, the kind of person who is the senior brother, and the person he marries is also very special.
"You guys go down first, I'll talk to Prime Minister Zhengjun for a while."
"This ...... Be. The subordinate still had a handle in Li Yun's hands, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but after hesitating for a while, he retreated, but it was the subordinate who told Shen Ning a little gossip at the beginning, with a worried face.
"It's okay, you go down, I'll call you if there's something." Shen Ning thought this little brother was really interesting, but he still let him go down.
"Side-kun."
"My name is Li Yun."
"Yun Fangjun."
Li Yun smiled helplessly, "I'm here this time for my father's business." ”
"Master Li?" Shen Ning pretended to be puzzled, "I'm just a brother in the countryside, how can I know about a character like Lord Li?" ”
"You must also know that Prime Minister Tang, he used to be his father's student."
"I've heard a little." Shen Ning nodded, many people know these things.
"So I want to ask Shen Zhengjun for one thing."
Shen Ning rolled his eyes in his heart, sure enough, it was really such a thing that asked him to persuade Tang Yanxiu to help his father? Help King Jing? How can it be?
"Yun Fangjun, I really don't understand these things."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I don't want you to persuade my senior brother to help my father."
Well, the senior brothers are all out.
"I hope that when this is over, I will be able to leave my father with a whole body."
What, what?
Shen Ning thought for a moment that he had auditory hallucinations and left a whole corpse? What's the situation?
The look of surprise was undisguised, and Li Yun could only smile bitterly when he saw his reaction.
"Father, he is old, he can't distinguish right from wrong, and he has done a lot of things that hurt others and himself, and I only found out about my senior brother later, I'm very sad."
Shen Ning looked at the remorse on his face, and somewhat understood this Li Yun's feelings for Tang Yanxiu, but he could only sigh in his heart.
"After that, I found out a lot of things my father did, as well as his correspondence with King Jing, and later, I was sent to King Jing's mansion by him."
Not to mention the process, Shen Ning can also make up for it with his brain, so this is the story of a father who sacrifices his students and his own son for the sake of power?
Before the two finished speaking, the next person came in and said that Tang Yanxiu was back.
