The next day, Zhao Hongrun slept until midnight and woke up, probably because he was persuaded by too many people to drink at the banquet last night.

There are his brothers, as well as generals such as Bailiba, Cao Jue, Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, Chen Shi and other generals, as well as officials of the Ministry of Industry headed by Meng Kui, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, and in the end, even the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Criminal Department also came over to toast and talk, counting and counting, only the officials of the Ministry of Officials almost did not appear in front of Zhao Hongrun.

Think about it, after all, last year's test of the department, not to mention the loss of face of the ministry, was split by the Son of Heaven, and fell from the head of the six ministries in the past, I believe that those officials of the ministry, although they didn't say it on the surface, they didn't know how to hate Zhao Hongrun in their hearts.

After all, Zhao Hongrun's interference made the officials really lose most of their things.

Due to the large number of people who persuaded the wine, even if Shen Yu and others came forward to block the wine and replace the glass, the eleven masters and servants couldn't resist it, and they didn't know how they returned to Wenzhao Pavilion in the end.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hongrun is still feeling the taste of a hangover for the first time.

The whole person is groggy and not to mention for the time being, just the feeling of a splitting headache, as if there are a thousand needles poking inside the skull, is enough to make Zhao Hongrun hate alcohol and the like.

"Ahem."

Zhao Hongrun, who felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, coughed dryly twice, and immediately shouted the name of Zongwei Shen Yu in succession.

But after shouting several times in a row, Shen Yu didn't answer.

And at this moment, an indifferent woman's voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Your Zongwei are all hungovers and haven't woken up. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, only to find that there was still a woman sitting at the table in his bedroom, and when he looked closely, it was Mi Jiang.

"It's you......"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Mi Jiang with relief, and suddenly found out. Mi Jiang was still wearing the same dress she wore when she accompanied her to the banquet.

"You...... It can't be a night with me, right? ”

"Entrusted by the princess." Mi Jiang reached out and picked up the ceramic teapot on the table, poured a glass of water, and then walked to the bed with the water, and handed it to Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting on the bed: "Shang Wen." ”

"If you say two more words, you'll die......

Zhao Hongrun took the teacup a little unnaturally, took a sip, and sure enough. The water was warm, and when he saw this, he was feeling dry and drank the cup of water in a few sips, and then handed the teacup back to Mi Jiang, while looking at her intently.

"......" Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun speechlessly, and had to pour another glass of warm water for Zhao Hongrun.

Two glasses of warm water in my stomach, and my thirst was immediately relieved.

"You watched me all night? …… Well, I mean care. ”

"Entrusted by the princess." Mi Jiang repeated Fang Cai's answer, and then he did. She asked curiously, "Those palace maids are afraid of you, why?" Have you ever scared them before? ”

Zhao Hongrun understood when he heard it, and shook his head with a wry smile: Where are those palace maids afraid of him, it's just that the palace has a death rule, and no palace maid is allowed to contact the prince who has not left the cabinet.

At this time, he noticed the tiredness on Qi Jiangqiao's face, and said with a feeling of indebtedness: "Take care of me for a night, thank you for your hard work." Go and rest, too. ”

Unexpectedly, Mi Jiang glanced at him strangely. said lightly: "I just watched (three times) you for one night, and watched (four times) you scream here." ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned: "Ghost screaming? What is it called? ”

"Water...... Water...... Water...... Something like that. Mi Jiang learned a few expressions expressionlessly, and then pretended to wonder and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?" ”

"Perhaps, maybe I dreamed of when I led the army to cross Yanshui......" Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Mi Jiang and said meaningfully: "It's also possible." It's just that I'm drunk and feeling thirsty, hoping someone can pour me a glass of water. ”

"Yes." Mi Jiang suddenly realized: "It seems that I thought it was bad, I thought you were dreaming, so I ignored it." ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun was half angry when he heard this, he really couldn't figure out whether this woman really ignored her. It's just a deliberate way to play tricks on him.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, thank you for taking care of you." …… The king is about to get up, so go back and rest. ”

Looking at Zhao Hongrun's unswerving expression, for some reason there was a kind of joy in Qi Jiang's eyes, only to see her take a sip of her cup of tea, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "By the way, someone just came to report the news, saying that it was the messenger of Cao Jue, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion,"

"General Cao Jue of the Junshui Army's Xiao Cavalry Battalion?"

It may be a hangover, Zhao Hongrun only felt his head buzzing at the moment: "What did he say?" ”

"The messenger asked me to tell you that when the general named Cao Jue arrived in Xiangfu County with his army, there was already a team of men and horses carrying those money and goods, and it was suspected that he was entrusted by the household department of your court...... Cao Jue drove them back, and although there was a dispute during the period, it did not cause trouble. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun was slightly taken aback, and then laughed and said, "Unfortunately, I said." …… It seems that the household department really plans to bypass the king and swallow that wealth? Scold. When was this? ”

"Two hours ago." Mi Jiang said lightly: "I told you once at that time, but you said at that time, 'Don't bother with a little whispering'. ”

"I said that?" Zhao Hongrun said with a strange expression, he had a faint premonition, after all, he had a bad temper during his sleep, not only the guards knew it, but he also knew it.

I saw that Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun lightly, and said indifferently: "That's the idea, but I omitted some things that are not very good, such as ......'Are you annoying', 'Dead open' and the like." ”

"No wonder you showed me your face as soon as you came up......

Zhao Hongrun laughed dryly twice, and while secretly glad that Mi Jiang didn't stab him to death with a sword at that time, he hurriedly diverted the topic: "Two hours ago?" …… Well, according to this estimate, this news must have been sent back to the household department, and it may even be ......"

As soon as he said this, suddenly Mi Jiang's eyes flashed, and he put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture: "Shhh ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and vaguely heard a sound of footsteps outside the room, from far and near.

Then, the sound of footsteps was replaced by a tuk tuk knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhao Hongrun asked in a deep voice, because it was the guards, they would usually report their identities after knocking on the door, or just push the door in, after all, they were all Zhao Hongrun's henchmen.

"The lowly Li Dare is the Lang Wei outside the Vertical Arch Palace."

"Lang Wei of the Vertical Arch Palace......

Zhao Hongrun thought of a possibility, and had already guessed a few points in his heart, and deliberately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the Lang Wei outside the house say in a deep voice: "Back to His Royal Highness King Su, Your Majesty has invited His Royal Highness to the Vertical Arch Hall to discuss important matters. After that, he paused, and added: "This matter is urgent, please go to His Royal Highness King Su immediately." ”

"Sure enough, ......"

Zhao Hongrun snorted lightly with a smile, and said lightly: "This king knows, let this king change clothes." ”

"Waiting outside the temple."

With that, there was another sound of footsteps outside the room, and he slowly moved away.

Seeing this, Mi Jiang also put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "I'll go back to the room first." ”

But when she walked to the door of the house and was about to push the door out, she suddenly glanced back at Zhao Hongrun, and stopped talking.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun was about to get up and dress, but he didn't expect Mi Jiang to be at the door, so he asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?" ”

I saw that Mi Jiang silently looked at Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and said in a tone that seemed to be unusually heavy: "Last night, you called my name......"

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw that Mi Jiang had already pushed the door out.

"What do you mean?" Called her name?'

Zhao Hongrun, who was confused, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, unfortunately, due to a hangover, his head was still groggy at the moment, where did he get up from the memory, did he call the name of Mi Jiang in his sleep last night.

"Not really, right? What do I have nothing to do with calling her name? If you want to call Miss Su, no matter how bad it is, it is also Sister Yulong...... Well, I won't call her by her name. But ......

Zhao Hongrun, who was hurriedly dressed, showed a little doubt in his eyes, after all, with his understanding of Mi Jiang, she was not a woman who could lie.

If so...... What's going on?

After thinking about it for half a year, Zhao Hongrun still had no clue, so he could only temporarily press this doubt in his heart, and go to the Vertical Arch Hall first to solve the biggest trouble at present.

And as Zhao Hongrun said, at this moment in the vertical arch hall, it can be said that there is a lot of people, who would have imagined that several household officials led by Fan Biao, the left attendant of the household department, actually asked to see Wei Tianzi this time, and jointly impeached someone.

And what surprised Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi and other Chinese ministers was that the object of the joint impeachment of these household officials was precisely one of the protagonists of the celebration banquet of the Jiying Palace yesterday, Su Wang Hongrun!

The crimes were: interfering with and disrupting the operation of the household department of the imperial court, concealing the indemnity of the state of Chu, and instigating the soldiers of the Junshui battalion to forcibly expel the guards sent by the household department to transport materials to Xiangfu County.

Of course, it is impossible for Wei Tianzi to blame his son Zhao Hongrun just on the one-sided words of these courtiers, after all, at the celebration banquet last night and after the banquet, when he met with the three generals Bailiba, Sima An, and Xu Yin in private, he had already learned about Zhao Hongrun's distribution of those property from the mouths of these three former Zong Wei, so he knew very well that his son Zhao Hongrun was ready to invest almost ordinary money in military construction to strengthen the military strength of the southern garrison of Great Wei.

But the problem is that although he knows it, Wei Tianzi is not easy to explain to these household officials, after all, the contradictions between the two imperial court institutions and the military in previous years, Wei Tianzi is not unclear.

Since it was his son Zhao Hongrun who defeated the Chu State, and it was he who collected the huge and eye-catching money from the Chu State, so Wei Tianzi handed it over to him to deal with this matter, so he sent Lang Wei Li Dare and others in front of the palace to Wenzhao Pavilion to inform his son Zhao Hongrun to come to the Vertical Arch Hall immediately.

"Why? Just because it was the king who led the army to fight on the front line who won the Chu State, not the one who lived in the rear beam, all the officials and men of the household department! ”

Not to mention, Zhao Hongrun's first words after entering the palace shocked those officials in the household department. (To be continued.) )
