Chapter 105: Respectfully Giving Single-mindedness (2)
After losing his temper, Du Chenliang told the guards to get out, and then said to his father-in-law in a cold voice: "Prepare a little something, bring a few thousand-year-old ginseng." ”
After a pause, Du Chenliang continued: "Bring a few more Jinyun cloths that have been paid tribute this year and some delicate things that girls like." ”
Although the father-in-law was curious about Mu Shengbai, who obviously went to see it, and he didn't see any female dependents except the maid when he went to the Mu Mansion last time, he didn't know why the second prince wanted him to bring these things.
Jinyun cloth is a precious cloth that is hard to find, and even the concubine is reluctant to use much on weekdays.
The second prince only took the eunuch around him to Mu Mansion, and Xiao Chunzi wanted to ask Mu Shengbai to come out to greet him, but as soon as someone came out to open the door, he got the news that Mu Shengbai was suddenly seriously ill and could not see guests.
Xiao Chunzi returned to the carriage and told Du Chenliang about it.
Du Chenliang's eyes showed suspicion, "What? Is that really what the butler of the Mu Mansion said? ”
"The minions hear me clearly." Haruko nodded.
"Hmph, but the disciple of Mr. Changfeng's martial arts skills is seriously ill with just a basin of water, it's not that he doesn't want to see this king." Du Chenliang's eyes were gloomy, and he slammed his fist on the carriage, leaving a shallow trace on the body made of hard elm trees.
He made a gesture to get off the carriage, "This prince doesn't believe that ordinary people really dare to turn this king away." ”
"How can you see the royal brother here, what a coincidence."
As soon as Du Chenliang got out of the carriage, there was a sound behind him that made his body stiffen.
He turned around and found that Du Weizhen was getting out of the carriage with the support of Sixi, and behind him was a royal doctor carrying a medicine box and a prime minister wearing an official uniform.
Du Chen's conscience was displeased, but his face remained silent, raised a smile, arched his hand at Du Weizhen, and said, "Why did the imperial brother come here?" ”
"This palace heard that Sheng Bai was wronged in the Chengqian Palace, and he couldn't afford to be sick after he came back, so today I took the imperial doctor to help Sheng Bai take a look."
Du Weizhen's words couldn't hear anything, but there was a faint blame in his eyes, which made Du Chenliang extremely aggrieved, after all, he was right, he would definitely not be able to go to Mu Mansion now.
Du Chenliang took a deep look at the Mu Mansion with the door closed behind him, said a word to Du Weizhen, and then got into the carriage and went back.
The prime minister looked at Du Weizhen's carriage in the distance, his eyes were heavy, and he was a little vigilant, "Prince, will this Mu Shengbai really have any secret cooperation with the second prince, otherwise, with the temperament of the second prince, there is no need to surrender his identity to see a person who has no official position at all." ”
Although Mu Shengbai was personally recruited by him, in his eyes, he was just a young man with potential, and it was best to use it for himself, if he couldn't use it for himself, he still had to go out this morning to avoid future troubles.
The prince's benevolence may not be able to do it, but Wang Suping has risen in the treacherous court, from a humble status to a very popular minister, not only with talent.
Du Weizhen shook his head when he heard his words, his eyes were clear and colorless, Xu didn't care about Wang Suping's words, "If you really think so, but you fell for Chenliang, isn't his move just to sow discord?" Shengbai is a pure person, if his heart really belongs to Erchenliang, he will not agree to come here with us, and the prime minister doesn't know that Chenliang has been to Jinling City before. ”
Wang Suping pondered for a moment, nodded, and his eyelids were half-hidden, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes.
Although the person who came to open the door didn't know Du Weizhen's identity, he remembered that Mu Shengbai was also by his side when he first came to Mu Mansion, so he took him to the lobby and hurriedly went to find Mu Shengbai.
"Brother Du, Prime Minister, why are you here?"
Mu Shengbai walked over quickly, wearing a moon-white robe, his posture was as tall as a cypress pine on the top of a mountain, his face was ruddy, how could he look like a person who was half seriously ill.
"Shengbai, you ......" Du Weizhen stepped forward, walked around him several times, and looked up and down, "You don't look bad, where do you look seriously ill?" ”
Mu Shengbai scratched his head embarrassedly, and let the people in the hall go down, with a mischievous smile on his face, "What's wrong with me, it's not that I don't want to see some people, so I'll ......"
Mu Shengbai smiled, and the young man's two snow-white tiger teeth were exposed, which was very cute.
Du Weizhen sighed in his heart again, his true temperament, both the innocence and purity of a young man, and the maturity and stability of an adult.
"You're talking about Tatsura?"
"It's the second prince." Mu Shengbai scratched his head, "The second prince is too enthusiastic, I can't bear it." ”
Mu Shengbai wiped his body with a sapy and smelly plant, provoked the guards of the Chengqian Palace to splash him with water and then pretended to regret leaving with the two of them, which caused laughter in the lobby, and Du Weizhen also felt that he was in a very good mood and praised Mu Shengbai's wit.
At the same time, Du Weizhen also secretly glanced at Wang Suping, and the eyes of the two collided in mid-air, and he understood the satisfaction in the prime minister's eyes.
Let the imperial doctor go back to the palace first, Du Lai poured tea for a few people and went down, and Mu Shengbai was left in the lobby.
After chatting for a while, the topic of several people returned to Du Weizhen's recent headache.
It turned out that after the emperor asked him to manage the Criminal Department in the past few days, there were suddenly more people in the court who were dissatisfied with Du Weizhen, and some people even played the impeachment of him, which made him very puzzled.
Mu Shengbai frowned and pondered for a while, he had a very good impression of him in the days he spent with the crown prince, otherwise he would not have resolutely entered Du Weizhen's camp.
Then he said: "Those people may be from the camp of the second prince or other princes, and they must not want you to be good, and some may think that you lack the ability to manage the criminal department." ”
Mu Shengbai didn't hide what he said in front of Du Weizhen, he felt that Du Weizhen was not a leader who couldn't stand the people below pointing out his mistakes.
Of course, Du Weizhen didn't get angry because of his words, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it made sense, "I don't have to worry about the people in the other camps, after all, no matter what I do, they won't be satisfied, but I really feel that my ability is not good at managing the people in the Criminal Department, which has to be reflected on by myself." ”
Several people talked freely about the evening, Du Weizhen couldn't go back to the palace, so he took the prime minister to leave.
"Prince, I heard that you went to see Mu Shengbai yesterday, is he doing well?" Mu Shengbai was splashed with a basin of water by the guards in front of the Chengqian Palace, and then he was seriously ill and closed the door to thank the guests, saying that it was not big, saying that it was not small, Du Jingxun asked Du Weizhen after listening to the ministers below talk about important things.
Du Weizhen lowered his head, "Back to the emperor, when Erchen went to visit Shengbai yesterday, he was still unconscious, occasionally talking nonsense, and the situation was not very good. ”
