Hou Si came out with Chu Boxiong before noon, and he was tired in the middle, so Chu Boxiong also ate some pastries in the pavilion nearby, of course, as the biggest hero of this escort, he also rewarded Hou Sizheng with a few pieces.

Although it is said to be a garden, Hou Sizheng can also see that the real purpose of His Majesty the Emperor seems to be delaying time, as for why it is delayed, it seems that it should be related to the words of Lord Punch Hole that he said before.

Hou Sizheng naturally knew it, but he wouldn't say it, after all, he was a slave, and the other party was the master, if the master was unhappy because he was talking, then his slave seemed to have done it.

So, Hou Sizheng had no choice but to follow behind Chu Boxiong and wait for the other party's orders with peace of mind.

Then the time had passed, Chu Boxiong seemed to suddenly remember, and then hurriedly said to Hou Sizheng, "You slave, why are you still following me now, didn't you say that you would go to the east gate of Fucheng to find Master Kong, why don't you go?"

Hou Sizheng had followed Chu Boxiong for many years, so he naturally knew his thoughts, so he didn't refute, but bowed and retreated.

When Chu Boxiong saw Hou Sizheng going to the east gate of Fucheng, his expression instantly changed from anger to flat, and then looked at his figure gradually moving away, and slowly said to Zhou Kui, the head of the guard who came with him, "It's cold, I'm tired, let's go back." ”

After Hou Sizheng came out of the palace, he also walked unhurriedly towards the east gate, and he also knew that His Majesty the Emperor had the intention to rectify Master Kong, so he asked the little eunuch who was driving the car to slow down.

"Father-in-law Hou, didn't Your Majesty tell you to hurry up, why do you want me to slow down?"

Hou Si was in the car and smiled, and only said, "You kid, you have been in the palace for a short time, and you can't look at the surface of some things, you have to think more about why." ”

Some things can't be seen on the surface, and some things can't be said too much, Hou Sizheng just carried this little eunuch a little, so he told him this, but it was only to the point, and he didn't say much, as for what the other party could understand, it was the other party's business.

The little eunuch seemed to understand something, so he didn't continue the topic, and simply slowed down the speed of the carriage according to Hou Sizheng's wishes.

"Your Majesty is really, obviously he has the intention to rectify Master Kong, why should he blame Gonggong Hou."

The little eunuch naturally understood that Hou Si was just trying to promote himself, so he also complained about the other party.

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, a hand stretched out from inside the carriage and struck the little eunuch who was driving the carriage on the head.

"Ouch"

The little eunuch screamed in pain.

"Let you be open-mouthed" Hou Sizheng's voice was slightly angry, "Why are you so bold, although we are in the palace, we are also under the control of the Supervision Department, if you let the people of the Supervision Department hear you slandering Your Majesty like this, you will have nothing to do with our family." ”

The little eunuch naturally knew where he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, and then looked around to see if anyone heard what he had just said.

"It's okay, it scared me to death." The little eunuch patted his chest, but he secretly exclaimed in his heart.

Regarding the matter of the Supervision Department, although the little eunuch is new to the palace, he also heard what other little eunuchs said when he chatted with people in his spare time.

It's just that it's like hell on earth, and good people have to peel off a layer of skin when they enter, and they may not be able to come out.

Therefore, there is a saying among them that those who enter the Supervision Department are not people, but mad dogs.

This sentence refers to two types of people, one is the poor person who arrests people, and the other is the person who is arrested by the bad person.

Thinking of the little eunuch who was rushing here, he trembled unconsciously, and said secretly, "It's so dangerous, if someone hears it, you really have to die there." ”

The little eunuch was very slow, so the carriage was also very slow, and when he arrived at the east gate of Fucheng, it was already time for the guards to change their guards.

"Father-in-law Hou, this time has already passed, and Lord Yin should not be here if you want to come to the mansion."

When he arrived at the east gate of Fucheng, Hou Sizheng asked the little eunuch to stop the car, and he got out of the carriage.

"Let's go over and take a look, after all, what Your Majesty ordered, if it is too hasty and then Master Kong will go to His Majesty to sue our family, it will be very troublesome."

With that, Hou Sizheng walked towards the city gate, and the little eunuch led the horse and followed behind Hou Sizheng.

Just after passing the city gate, he saw Kong Xu who was about to enter the city, and Kong Xu naturally saw Hou Sizheng who came over.

"Grandpa Hou, what kind of gust of wind is blowing you, a nobleman," Kong Xu poked his head out of the carriage and shouted to Hou Sizheng not far away.

Hou Sizheng was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Kong Xu to see him, so he couldn't fool around, so he shouted to Kong Xu, "Master Kong, Your Majesty has a decree, please get off the car quickly to receive the decree." ”

When Kong Xu heard Hou Sizheng say this, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got off the carriage, then bowed and saluted, and said respectfully to Hou Sizheng, "The minister accepts the order." ”

"Your Majesty's dictation, let Master Kong wait here for the eldest prince to return to Kyoto Mansion."

Kong Xu was stunned, but he didn't come down immediately, just now Dongzi told him that Chu Zizhan had already stayed at the post station twenty miles away, saying that he would return to Kyoto Mansion tomorrow, and His Majesty let himself wait for the other party here, didn't His Majesty receive the news

Hou Sizheng saw that Kong Xu did not immediately accept the order, so he reminded, "Master Kong, you still don't accept the order"

"Father-in-law Hou, I don't think Your Majesty knows yet, the eldest prince has already settled in a post station twenty miles away, and said that he will enter Kyoto Mansion tomorrow."

"Our family doesn't know about this, our family is only responsible for passing on the decree, I think it's better for Master Kong to follow this edict first."

Kong Xu knew that what Hou Sizheng said was not wrong, so he said respectfully, "The minister leads the command." ”

"Father-in-law Hou, since there is already clear news from the eldest prince, can I go back to the mansion first, and then come back tomorrow?"

Hou Sizheng looked Kong Xu up and down, and then said, "Yo, isn't it embarrassing for our family, Lord Kong, our family just came to deliver the message, I can't be the master of your business, or Lord Kong should go into the palace and ask Your Majesty." ”

Hou Sizheng's special sharp voice made Kong Xu feel a little uncomfortable, but he also understood that this was indeed not a decision that the eunuch could make, but let himself enter the palace to ask Chu Boxiong Kong Xu still didn't have the courage to question the emperor of Chu in person.

"This" Kong Xu thought for a moment, then took out a few silver-white tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into Hou Sizheng's hand, "Please also ask Father-in-law Hou to help me ask." ”

Hou Sizheng held the silver ticket stuffed by Kong Xu in his hand, and then naturally stuffed it into his sleeve.

Kong Xu saw that Hou Sizheng had accepted the silver ticket that he had stuffed over, and his heart was suddenly relieved, after all, he accepted people's money and eliminated disasters for others, and the other party received the silver ticket, so he had to do something for himself.

"Master Kong, when I came, His Majesty said a word."

See, that's what a silver ticket looks like.

"Father-in-law Hou, what did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty said that you can go into the palace and ask him."

After saying this, Hou Sizheng left the east gate of the palace with the little eunuch and entered the city of Kyoto.

Kong Xu was directly stunned there, now he still doesn't understand what Chu Boxiong means, go into the palace and ask him If he really asks, the black yarn on his head really can't be saved.
