After listening to Cheng Chi's words, everyone didn't speak for a long time.

Even if it is an ordinary big family, if four sons die at once, it will be greatly damaged.

On the way to send Cheng Chi out, Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but whisper to him: "Could it really be that the fourth prince did it?" ”

"I don't know yet." Cheng Chi muttered, "At least that aphrodisiac incense is evidence that the people of the Five Princes took advantage of the chaos...... In my opinion, it may be that everyone is staring at the crown prince! As soon as the crown prince had an accident, they fell into the well one after another, and finally became such a situation. ”

Zhou Shaojin sighed.

The next day, not only did Ah Bao receive the title of the emperor, but the emperor also appointed the eldest grandson as the crown prince.

This coincides with the previous life.

What will happen in the future is completely out of control, and she doesn't know.

After Xie officially entered the door, he returned to the door three days later, Cheng Shao's illness was cured, and Zhou Shaojin held a banquet at home to entertain Xie.

Cheng Shao and others are here.

Aunt Chang served on the side.

The men's table is in the flower hall, and the women's table is in the wing. Several aunts of the Cheng family were also present, and the atmosphere was very good.

After eating, the wine was skimmed and the tea was served, the men told anecdotes about the court and the wilderness, the women talked about the short of the parents, the children ran around in the yard and laughed, Brother Yun clapped his little hands in the arms of the nurse, and the house was noisy, which was even more lively.

Mrs. Guo listened to the noise of the children outside, and said with a smile: "On the eighth day of the fourth month, we will go to Zhetan Temple to incense together. ”

Zhetan Temple is in the suburbs, and it takes a day to go and come. If you go there to offer incense, you will have to stay for one night.

Mrs. Guo said this, the drunkard's meaning is not in wine.

It was rare for everyone to have such an opportunity to go out and have fun, and they responded one after another, and sent someone to tell Aunt Chang who was serving Cheng Shao in the flower hall.

Aunt Chang was a little surprised, and then smiled well.

The men of the Flower Hall mileage family also know about it.

Cheng Jing smiled: "Let's go with us, right?" Just to give the second uncle to burn incense. ”

The affairs of the five princes may be secret to others, but not a cabinet boss like Yu Chengjing.

Cheng Jing felt that Cheng Shao was really sick, as for this condition...... The emperor has admitted it, and he naturally shouldn't doubt it.

However, Cheng Chi took this opportunity to leave a deep impression on the emperor, not only did he feel that he had a good character. And very knowledgeable. The gentleman knows everything about the six arts, and once laughed at Cheng Chi in private: "If you take care of yourself and only read the four books and five classics, I'm afraid you won't just take the Jinshi exam." He also said to Cheng Shao. Cheng Chi should be asked to go to the Hanlin Academy to be a waiter and lecturer. The papal sons read.

Cheng Shao also thanked Cheng Chi at that time. It would be great if I could go to the Hanlin Academy to be a waiter.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't follow up after he said this, I heard that when he saw the third prince and the fourth prince in the second year of the junior high school, he went to greet him, and he thought of the dead crown prince. He once sighed deeply, and ordered that the subordinates of the East Palace, such as Zhan Shi and Shao Zhan Shi, who had been hanging on the side and ignored them, be released as officials.

Gu Xu was not spared.

He was appointed prefect of Taiyuan.

Cheng Zheng wanted to follow Gu Xu to take office, the elders of the Gu family were very approveful, but Gu Xu was afraid that Cheng Zheng would not be used to the climate of Tai Ling, so he did not agree, but Cheng Zheng had already made up his mind, and decided to take Gu Ning and Gu Zhong to Taiyuan together.

After Yuan's persuasion was fruitless, he begged Mrs. Guo.

As a result, Gu Xu failed to persuade Mrs. Guo to let Cheng Zheng and the children stay in the capital, but persuaded Mrs. Guo and promised to take Cheng Zheng and the children to Taiyuan with him.

They must arrive in Taiyuan by the second day of March.

This may be the last meal that Cheng Zheng and Gu Xu have eaten in the Cheng family in the past few years.

I feel a little reluctant to think of this mileage.

The other two children Cheng Xiao married to Tongxiang, only came to the capital in the past two years, Cheng Xu simply grew up in Jinling, a few years ago in order to participate in the township test to live in the capital and he lived for a few years, only Cheng Zheng, since he got married, has been in the capital, and he got along with the longest and most intimate.

Cheng Jing couldn't help but tell Gu Xu: "It's more than enough to govern a Taiyuan Mansion with your ability, if you have time, you might as well accompany Ah Zheng's mother and son more." They go to Taiyuan with you, and they don't know anyone, and the only one they can rely on is you. Taiyuan is also the land of Yan Zhao, how heroic, it is important for men to study, and the six arts cannot be relaxed, just ask someone to teach Brother Ning and Brother Zhong some kung fu to strengthen their physique, as for reading, it doesn't matter later.

"The emperor has now named the imperial grandson as the prince, you are the one who once served his father, as long as you stay in Taiyuan honestly, calm down and don't make any trouble, and when the imperial grandson ascends the throne, it will be a matter of time before he returns to the capital.

"When you go to Taiyuan, you must remember to keep your eyes on your head and not make any trouble."

Cheng Chi listened and disagreed.

It's hard to say whether the imperial grandson is grateful or resentful of his father's subordinates, the former Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi went to Taiyuan but his inaction in the nest of bags at least indirectly proves Gu Xu's incompetence, what else is there to promote? What's more, according to Zhou Shaojin's statement, the emperor's grandson may not be able to live longer than the emperor.

But who to support to ascend the throne is really a bit nerve-wracking.

Cheng Chi thought about it, turned around and took a letter to Gu Xu, and said: "This is the name of Taiyuan famous Confucian Wang Zhi, Yang Shoushan and he are old friends, you go to Taiyuan may as well visit him first, let him tell you about Taiyuan, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, with the support of the local squire, you can do a safe and sound job." ”

Everyone present was stunned.

Cheng Jing said straight to the point: "You still have dealings with Yang Shoushan?" ”

"yes!" Cheng Chi said disapprerovingly, "I also asked someone to send two hundred taels of silver to their family a few days ago - Yang Shoushan's mother is sick." ”

Yang Shoushan was eventually demoted to a commoner and returned to his hometown in Hebi.

He was originally from a poor family, and he was never greedy for ink in office, and after he went back, he relied on a few acres of thin fields to live a difficult life. Cheng Chi regularly provided him with relief.

Cheng Jing didn't agree and wanted to say something. Seeing that Cheng Chi's face was full of indifference, thinking that there were still a few uncles present, he still choked up on the reprimand that came to his lips.

Yuan Ming was full of admiration, and whispered to Cheng Xu: "Look at Fourth Uncle Chi, this is the person who hits the life, a real man!" ”

Cheng Xu didn't squeak and lowered his head to drink.

Cheng Jing can't talk about Cheng Chi, and he can't say his son-in-law!

"What nonsense?" He scolded Yuan Ming and said, "You think about these messes all day long, and you have this spirit." You might as well study hard to make a name for yourself. It's also good to fight for a phoenix crown for Ah Xiao to wear. ”

Cheng Jingyuan was not very satisfied with this son-in-law, but his wife agreed, and his daughter also took a fancy to it, thinking that the Yuan family had sunk the ship and had three catties. That's when I agreed. Now it seems. He reads loosely. I wasn't ready to go on a career at all.

Yuan Ming was shy and anxious, and Peng Zao hurriedly said: "Jiashan, I'll try it in a few days." The chief examiner is Wang Chun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, my father and he are classmates, Lord Wang is a Jinshi in the scientific examination earlier than my father, but he still has contacts with his father from time to time, and the family still keeps a few articles he wrote back then, I wanted to bring it to you, and I am afraid that something will happen, you will go home with me, my father just has something to say to you. ”

This is to point out Cheng Xu Shiwen.

Peng Zao's father, Peng Xiang, was also known in the Hanlin Academy.

Cheng Jing was overjoyed and personally thanked Peng Zao.

Cheng Chi called Yuan Ming: "When I first moved in, your aunt buried a few catties of wine under the osmanthus tree in the garden, Dalun is leaving, you and I go to take out the wine, it can be regarded as washing the dust for Dalun." ”

Gu Xulian called it "breaking the fee".

Cheng Chi took Yuan Ming to the garden.

Yuan Ming also thought that Cheng Chi would comfort and comfort him, but who knew that Cheng Chi didn't say anything to him along the way, and asked him to take wine with the servants.

After a few shovels down, his mood improved.

He couldn't help but glance at Cheng Chi gratefully.

A little guy ran all the way over and said, "Fourth master, Uncle Huaishan is back." ”

Cheng Chi said to Yuan Ming: "You take the wine back to the flower hall first, and I'll come back when I go to see it." ”

Yuan Ming nodded.

Thinking about who is this Huaishan?

Cheng Chi and Huai Shan met in the study of the outer courtyard.

Huaishan looked solemn and said: "The news handed out by the palace said that during the funeral of the crown prince, a little eunuch in the Qianqing Palace was sick, and he died of illness not long after he was removed, and his body was thrown into the mass grave. After the crown prince's funeral, the little eunuch was transferred to the wine and vinegar bureau. Look, do you want to say hello to the Li family's uncle and find a way to talk to this little eunuch? ”

"Don't startle the snake just yet." Cheng Chi groaned, "Except for this little eunuch, you can check to see if there are any palace maids who are missing in those days." Whether it is to deliver a letter to the second prince, or to lead the second prince to meet the palace maid surnamed Dai, no matter what kind of errand they receive, it will definitely be a dead word after the deed. As long as you follow this vine, you can always find the source. ”

Huaishan replied "yes" respectfully, and said: "It's just that the personnel in the palace are complicated, and the time is too short, and all we can buy are small things, and they are not too important." ”

Cheng Chi said with a smile: "We can't buy the queen mother, the big palace maid and the big eunuch next to the queen!" Instead of socializing with those guys who can't go up or down, and half a bottle rings, it's better to deal with these little babes. Don't underestimate them, they know a lot! Then he instructed him, "You check Cheng Chen, he now has Chen Li as a backer, it is impossible to be so honest!" ”

Huaishan responded and left.

Cheng Chi sat in the study for a while before slowly going to the inner courtyard.

In the flower hall, everyone was drinking vigorously.

Cheng Chi saw Cheng Xu standing alone under the corridor.

He stood in the shadows with his head bowed, his expression lonely.

Cheng Chi thought about it, stepped forward, and said, "Do you have any thoughts?" ”

This is the first time that Cheng Chi took the initiative to talk to Cheng Xu after Zhou Shaojin married Cheng Chi.

Cheng Xu was overjoyed and shouted "Fourth Uncle".

Cheng Chi said: "Don't think about anything, let's participate in the test!" When you become a jinshi, you will find that you can do a lot of things. ”

Cheng Xu looked at Cheng Chi in surprise.

Cheng Chi smiled and turned around and entered the flower hall.

Cheng Xu looked at his background thoughtfully.
