Daxing City.

This capital, which once symbolized the prosperity of Great Chu, is now also the last fig leaf for the glory of Great Chu, and it is not people who know how to be shy, but a group of people who are not ashamed.

The city still looks as prosperous as ever, all kinds of dignitaries and nobles are still dressed in brocade and angry horses, the clothes on the women are still like splendid flowers, and the swords on the men can still guide the country.

East Palace.

Prince Yang Jing sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall in a daze, he should have been in a daze, he looked down at the ground, the ground was bare, what could it be?

There are a few ants passing back and forth, they may be running for their lives, just like the people in this country.

Wen Xiudao, the chief eunuch in the East Palace, trotted back from outside, and when he arrived in front of Yang Jing, he bowed down and said, "Your Highness, Lord Overseer asks to see you." ”

A flash of hatred flashed in Yang Jing's eyes, who lowered his head, but when he raised his head, there was only surprise left on his face.

"Why is Yafu here?"

The dignified prince, when he said the word "father", he did not hesitate at all, and was even a little excited.

Liu Chongxin, the chief eunuch of the Detective Division, walked in slowly from outside, and after seeing the crown prince Yang Jing, he walked a few steps quickly, leaned over and said, "Your Highness." ”

Yang Jing ran to Liu Chongxin's side, held Liu Chongxin's arm with both hands and said, "Father, do you miss me and come to see me?" ”

"Hahahaha......"

Liu Chongxin laughed, and then said in a very proud but somewhat sincere tone: "Your Highness, you can no longer call the old slave the name of the father in the future, the old slave is the old slave of His Majesty, and the old slave of His Highness, which makes the courtiers listen to it, and they will say that His Royal Highness is not good." ”

Yang Jing shook his hand and said, "I'm still afraid that they won't be able to?" A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, those people don't have to worry about it at all. ”

He asked Liu Chongxin, "Father, what is the good news?" ”

Liu Chongxin nodded and said: "The Qincha who went to Jizhou has already set off, with Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty listened to the old slave about Jizhou, and knew that there were a few little thieves outside the capital, so he agreed to His Highness's request to return to Jingzhou to destroy the rebels. ”

Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a somewhat frightened face: "How terrible those rebels are, they have already arrived in Jingzhou, if they don't transfer Prince Wu back, maybe they will dare to attack the capital, and after transferring Prince Wu back, they will kill all those young people, and they will punish the Nine Clans!" ”

"Yes, yes, what His Highness said is, such a big crime, of course, will be punished by the nine clans."

Liu Chongxin said with some embarrassment: "But the old slave didn't want to call Prince Wu back, Prince Wu is a person, he doesn't like the old slave, and the old slave doesn't like him." ”

"Father, why don't you let him come back and exterminate the rebels, and then let him get out."

Yang Jing took Liu Chongxin's hand and said, "Father, you see that I have recently thought of a good thing, let me show you." ”

Liu Chongxin said with a smile: "Your Highness is just playful. ”

Yang Jing took Liu Chongxin to the open space, pointed to the grids he had drawn, and then pointed to the tiles on the opposite side and said, "I haven't thought of any good names for the time being, just call it kicking tiles, I'll show Yafu a demonstration." ”

Liu Chongxin looked at it with a smile, watched it a few times, Yang Jing pulled him to play with him, and soon the tiles were broken, Yang Jing was obviously a little unhappy, looked left and right, there were no new tiles, so he pointed to the roof and said: "Go to a few people, demolish the tiles for me!" ”

Liu Chongxin hurriedly stopped and said: "Your Highness, this is unacceptable, if you let the courtiers know, you will also say that Your Highness is not good." ”

"What does it matter to them that I demolish the roof tiles of my own house? Are these people sick? If they talk nonsense, I will have them tear down the roof tiles of their house. ”

Yang Jing said: "Go quickly, give it to me."

Take it down a little more. ”

Liu Chongxin still wanted to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to do this, but Yang Jing just didn't listen, no one could persuade him, he was playing on the upswing, let him stop? How can it be.

A group of chamberlains and guards in the East Palace hurriedly brought ladders and climbed to the roof to unveil the tiles for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Liu Chongxin couldn't persuade him, so he had to play with Yang Jing, and he played for more than half an hour, he said that there was something important to go back to the palace, Yang Jing was not happy, saying that his father did not have fun with him, Liu Chongxin had to say that he would come back tomorrow, and Yang Jing let him go.

After leaving the East Palace, Liu Chongxin did not go back to the palace, but went directly to Yuwen's house.

Everyone in Daxing City knows where the mansion of the Yuwen family is, it covers a wide area, and it is not much smaller than the palace city, and no one cares about such a violation, because His Majesty doesn't care.

Your Majesty has not been to the court for decades, and he doesn't want to see those adults all year round, and he is annoyed by a glance, everything is passed down by Liu Chongxin, Liu Chongxin doesn't say it, the emperor doesn't know, Liu Chongxin said it, and the emperor feels too lazy to care, so it's better to play more by himself.

Liu Chongxin seemed to be very familiar with this place, and after entering the door, he didn't need to be led, he went directly to the outside of Yuwen Chonghe's study, he knocked on the door and said, "Yuwen old fox, I'm here." ”

Yuwen Chonghe is in his sixties, but he doesn't look so old, maybe because he has been pampered for a long time, or maybe because he still maintains daily practice until now, so he looks young.

"How did the Overseer arrive?"

Yuwen Chonghe hurriedly helped Liu Chongxin's arm to enter the door: "The overseer came to my house as a guest, I should send someone to inform me first, you see that I have not prepared anything, doesn't it seem that I have neglected the overseer." ”

Liu Chongxin laughed and said, "Old fox Yuwen, I came to you, do you still need to be so polite?" ”

After he sat down, he said, "I just went to the East Palace and played with His Highness for a while. ”

Yuwen Chonghe asked, "Your Highness...... How's it going? I haven't seen His Highness for a while. ”

Liu Chongxin said: "Okay, in the past two days, I have come up with a new trick, and I actually let people go up to the roof to remove the tiles and kick them to play, you said that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is more than our Majesty." ”

Yuwen Chonghe sighed: "Your Highness had a reputation when he was young, and when he was seven years old, he rarely lost a debate with others, how can he become more and more like a child as he grows older?" ”

Liu Chongxin said: "There's nothing strange, isn't our majesty still like that now?" ”

He took a sip of the teacup and said, "Your Highness, it's nothing for him to be playful, if he is not playful at all......"

He looked at Yuwen Chonghe, Yuwen Chonghe immediately laughed, laughing like an old fox, he laughed, and Liu Chongxin also laughed.

"Yes, Your Highness is not playful."

Yuwen Chonghe said: "Your Highness is greedy for fun, and if you don't understand state affairs, isn't there still the Overseer for your guidance?" Isn't there still an assistant to us who are courtiers? ”

Liu Chongxin said with a smile: "That's the reason, a few years ago, I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to take care of everything, and I was still a little awkward in my heart. ”

He looked at Yuwen Chonghe and said, "If Your Highness is really so playful, those of us who are courtiers and slaves should let Your Highness play for a few more years." ”

Yuwen Chonghe laughed and said: "What His Highness has to play, we have to play." ”

Liu Chongxin laughed, and after a while, he asked Yuwen Chonghe: "I came to you to ask you something, after Prince Wu comes back, can you control him?" ”

He suddenly became serious, and Yuwen Chonghe, who was still smiling, hurriedly put away his smile, leaned over slightly and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's just not let Prince Wu enter the capital, wouldn't that be good?" He replied

It's a matter of coming back, and you can't come in when you come back......"

Liu Chongxin, who had just straightened his face, laughed again, stretched out his hand and pointed at Yuwen Chonghe and said, "Old fox, I'll just say you're a fucking old fox, hahahaha...... Let's do it, Prince Wu will go back to Jingzhou to destroy the rebels, and let him continue to go back to Jizhou after the fight, I don't think Prince Yu is a good bird, and it's not bad to let their brothers go to kill each other. ”

Yuwen Chonghe said: "The overseer thinks far, admires and admires. ”

Liu Chongxin said: "I saw a few palace maids with new faces in the palace yesterday, and I asked, saying that you sent people to offer them to Your Majesty?" ”

Yuwen Chonghe immediately stood up and leaned over and said, "This matter, I have already asked people to show the Overseer, didn't the people below tell the Overseer?" ”

Liu Chongxin waved his hand and said, "The people below tell me?" I don't know when I'm willing to see you, but in the future, it's better for you to talk to me in person, lest it be like this time, I beat everyone to death, and only then do I know that you arranged to enter the palace, how bad. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Yuwen Chonghe said: "It is indeed my negligence, rest assured, there will never be a second time for this kind of thing." ”

Liu Chongxin's gloomy appearance disappeared in an instant, much faster than the stunt face change on the Xishu Dao side.

He said with a smile: "If Lord Yuwen wants to serve His Majesty more, tell me, I know what His Majesty likes, and I also know what His Majesty doesn't like, you come and tell me, and I will help you choose." ”

He got up: "I won't bother much." ”

After finishing speaking, he strode out, Yuwen Chonghe didn't have time to put on his shoes, and followed Liu Chongxin all the way barefoot to see him off.

Of course Liu Chongxin noticed it, but he didn't say anything, until he left the gate of Yuwen's house, Liu Chongxin looked back at Yuwen Chonghe and pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, look at Guogong, you are tormenting the old slave, why did you come out without shoes." ”

He kicked his shoes off and threw them on the ground: "Put them on, don't catch a cold." ”

Yuwen Chonghe hurriedly leaned over to thank him, and instead of passing Liu Chongxin's shoes, he leaned over and picked up the two shoes and thanked him again.

Liu Chongxin laughed, got into the car, and waved his hand: "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”

Back at home, Yuwen Chonghe handed the pair of shoes in his hand to his subordinates: "Go, scrub and clean, and then put them in a jade box and put them on my desk, so that everyone knows about it." ”

"Yes!"

The steward hurriedly put away the shoes and ordered them to be washed.

After a while, Yuwen Chonghe's eldest son, Yuwen Zhi, came in from outside, his face was a little ugly, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's all go out." ”

Then all the people in the house withdrew.

Yuwen Zhi looked at Yuwen Chonghe and said, "Father, how long will you have to endure that thief?" ”

"Half a year at most."

Yuwen Chonghe pointed to the teapot, and Yuwen hurriedly went over to change a new pot of tea for his father, and then poured a cup for his father.

Yuwen Chonghe said: "It's almost time, I asked people to go down, the rebels outside the city leaned on the side of the capital, and the old fox Liu Chongxin would also be afraid, so he had already sent a decree to Jizhou to transfer Prince Wu back." ”

He looked at Yuwen and said, "It's only half a year." ”

Yuwen asked, "What if Prince Wu doesn't come back?" ”

Yuwen Chonghe said: "If he doesn't come back, aren't you afraid that Da Chu will be gone?" The matter of northern Xinjiang, no matter how big, is no bigger than the matter of Jingzhou. ”

He leaned back, squinted his eyes and said, "You can think about how many charges Liu Chongxin has, and whoever comes out first when the time comes, it will be easier for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember whom." ”

Yuwen Chonghe's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and it seemed to be knocking on the world.
