According to the emperor's wishes, Liu Shilang offered cold drinks and glass mirrors, and his loyalty and kindness were commendable! As long as you give it a boost, I believe that many of its rare goods will be favored by foreign countries, and it will be natural to buy or order. There is no need for the imperial court to deliberately reward them, but they just return favors with favors, and they have earned the silver of foreign countries, so why not?

Hou Jianbin was not annoyed by Zuo Chen's words, and there were other reasons.

At the banquet, Zhou Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, made a remark, which led to the prince's camp completely turning against the prince and Li Ziqin's camp, changing the previous situation that the well water did not interfere with the river water. This is the last thing that the prince wants to see when he is young.

Give Zuo Chen the necessary beating, at least let him realize that the prince's camp has been wronged, and it is for you Liu Zuochen to come out of the way, and the prince thinks this is a very important thing.

In front of everyone's eyes, the dignified and upright Lord Shangshu will never hang his head to complain, right!? With Hou Jian's thoughts, even if he comes to complain for his camp, he should hold his head high, and don't look at the identity of me and the prince! You Liu Shilang is just a newcomer favored by the emperor, who knows how long you can stand on top of the court, so you can say a few sarcastic words, and you are frowning and unhappy?

Cut! What are you! The butcher went to the banquet and really regarded yourself as a character!? Hou Jianbin scolded secretly in his heart, but he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This dress is new, and there are gifts to give, is it really deliberately painstaking?" ”

“…… So according to what you mean, what should the lower officials do? Is it possible to close the door and thank the guests, and there is a lot of trouble!? Zuo Chen was angry in his heart, and secretly thought, you old thing really want to try to pinch me soft or hard? Cool is not doing business, how can you be arrogant and rubbing!?

"Ugh! …… It seems that the official's wording is inappropriate, which makes the 'horse master' feel unhappy, hahaha......, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! ”

Hou Jianbin's face is really as thick as the city wall, and he was still smiling when he was-for-tat by Zuo Chen.

"Lord Shangshu, you drink tea!" Wang Xingke poured tea for Hou Jianbin and said respectfully, it would be difficult to pour tea and water in his identity, even if he heard that he was tired, he didn't dare to make a mistake, not to mention trying to tie up with him, lest this trade would not even be able to touch the poor soup and water.

Hearing the words "Master Ma", Zuo Chen began to feel uneasy again, glanced at Hou Jianbin , turned around and greeted Wang Ping, and said, "Steward Wang, distribute the prepared gifts to the distinguished guests, and cooperate with Master Zhou to entertain carefully, I will talk to Lord Shangshu." After speaking, he smiled apologetically at Zhou Yucheng and arched his hand.

"Liu Shilang, you are busy with something first." Zhou Yucheng and Hou Jianbin glanced at each other and said calmly.

Re-seated in the next cabin, Zuo Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Lord Shangshu, you said that the 'Master of the Horse' is a lower official?" It's about royal prestige, and it's no joke. Although it is estimated that the emperor may have announced it in public after he was drunk, he failed to hear it with his own ears, and always felt that "Master Horse" was an ethereal illusion.

It's really loaded! Hou Jianbin sneered, secretly thinking, I don't believe you will know nothing, if you were drunk yesterday and didn't know what the emperor did, it would be fine! Obviously, Prince Qing's posture at that time was that he was resistant, and if he didn't explain to you in advance, no one would be able to believe it.

"Not bad! It's 'Master of the Horse', after you got drunk yesterday, the emperor said in front of the Manchu Dynasty officials and foreign envoys, saying that it was to wait for the Queen Mother to choose an auspicious day to issue an edict, a thousand true things, related to the royal prestige, how can this official open his mouth? Hou Jianbin looked solemn, and after speaking, he held his fists in the direction of the imperial city from afar, and his posture was extremely respectful.

The emperor really announced it on the spot! Zuo Chen began to feel dizzy again, looked at Hou Jianbin embarrassedly, and wanted to laugh as happily as possible, but he couldn't mobilize the stiff muscles on his face. Zuo Chen thought to himself, I must be ugly laughing.

Hou Jianbin didn't know that Zuo Chen was caused by resistance, but thought that it was caused by his shock after hearing the conclusive news. glanced at Zuo Chen disapprovingly, and said: "The emperor's wishes are like this, and the prince has the intention of resisting, but Zhou Shangshu, who is forced to come out of the way, is not false that the emperor is happy, and there are many unhappy people, alas! ……”

Seeing that the time came, Hou Jianbin seized the opportunity to guide, and the prince's orders were also sloppy, how could he not count in his heart?

It is inconvenient to be too mature, so Zuo Chen, who pretended to be stupid and muttered slightly for a while, wrinkled his brows into pimples and pretended to be puzzled, "Zhou Shangshu's words turned out to be for Xiaguan Qiang, Xiaguan never thought that the unhappy person that the adult said made the lower official confused, and asked Lord Shangshu to make it clear to solve the confusion of the lower official." ”

Zuo Chen said in his heart, Zhou Tao's obvious cramped uneasiness, not a family member and no interest, how can he help me stand out? It's not for its own sake, and it doesn't believe in fooling ghosts! Besides, the relationship between your camp is complicated, what does it have to do with me that you are unhappy? It's groundless, and you want me to be conceited and unwarranted gratitude? Think beautifully!

"You! ……”

The fat face was suddenly flushed by Zuo Chen, Hou Jianbin never thought that Zuo Chen would be so shameless. At the banquet, you kid are all closing your eyes? Then your words to relieve the emperor and create opportunities for others to reverse the dilemma are all unintentional? Thinking like this in his heart, Hou Jianbin couldn't help but really want to kick Zuo Chen a few times to relieve the resentment in his heart.

"Hmmm! …… For the sake of the face of the brother-in-law who is already the prince in the same yamen, how about this official just talk to you? Hou Jianbin said, glancing at Zuo Chen, "Li Ziqin and your Liu family do not share the sky, but it is also a fact that they are not on the surface, and you also understand the pain of losing a child in old age, although it is said to be a female nephew, there is also a blood relationship, isn't it?" Do you think, how can he Li Ziqin be happy in his heart? ”

Zuo Chen smiled and didn't answer, looking like he was listening.

"When I was in the imperial study, you and I and Prince Qing were all present, whether you admit it or not, there is no doubt that the emperor and Prince Qing reached a consensus in secret. But at the banquet, Prince Qing was silent, presumably because he was unwilling. In this way, being stirred up by Zhou Tao, how can Prince Qing be happy in his heart? ”

This old fox made some remarks, never mentioning the position of the camp, but according to the explanation of the facts, it shows his old scheming and deep heart to win over, if Zuo Chen has no prejudices about the marriage, but is overjoyed, it is inevitable that Hou Jianbin is thinking carefully about him. It's a pity that Hou Jianbin and the prince neglected a crucial issue - Zuo Chen resisted the emperor's marriage from the bottom of his heart!

After pondering for a long time, Zuo Chen didn't want to shatter the expectations of the prince's camp with a stick, which undoubtedly set up many obstacles to his future development, not to mention that trade was about to take place at the moment, and it was the worst of all, but also let him Hou Jianbin feel that there was still hope to win him around. In addition, Zuo Chen also wanted to warn him, so as not to be so arrogant to himself in the future, it was really like treating an ignorant child, joking in every way!

"Lord Shangshu, please forgive the officials for being stupid, tired of you to solve my doubts. As the saying goes, 'The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring!' The lower officials have gained something, and they should be remembered in their hearts, and they should be rewarded in the future. Xia Guan is also a person who is happy to be revenge, and he can't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes, presumably you have heard of it. With such an unruly and undisciplined character, it is difficult for the lower officials to restrain themselves and feel distressed, but knowing that they will repay their kindness is the strength of the lower officials. As he spoke, his eyes looked at Hou Jianbin for a moment.

Being stared at by Zuo Chen like a hungry wolf, Hou Jianbin felt furious in his heart, this kid was decisive in killing, and it had already been passed on by word of mouth among the hundreds of officials in the court, beating the stick, killing Jun Cao, injuring the president of the forbidden army, and burning Li Ziqin's bedroom, one thing after another is simple to say, and he really has the courage to put it into action, but it is not ordinary courage to resolutely implement it without any worries. Since he has expressed that 'he will repay his kindness', he can be regarded as having a decent explanation when he goes back to the prince.

"Good! The old man just likes to be as bold as you! Children can be taught. Let's go and see if you have any objections to your goods!? ”
