After the early dynasty, Lao Zhu returned to the palace all the way, and Han Cheng stood guard in front of the palace as usual.

Lao Zhu crossed the high threshold and went straight to the apse, where the eunuch maid had already set up the dining table, on which were the food sent by the palaces.

The government is getting busier and busier, and Lao Zhu has less and less time to go to the harem for dinner, so all kinds of concubines are ready to be sent to the palace.

Lao Zhu frowned on the chair and said, "Didn't I say, as long as the food sent by the Middle Palace, I can eat smoothly." ”

"A piece of your mother's heart, the slave doesn't dare to refuse for the emperor." Yuan Sheng sent a large bowl of wontons to Lao Zhu, "This is from the queen mother, and there are two sesame baked cakes." ”

Lao Zhu took a big bite of the baked cake, "Well, it's delicious and crispy!" Return all the food sent by the palace, and tell them who will send food to the palace again, and I will detain her palace share to see what they give. Yuan Sheng called Han Cheng in, and he didn't know what was going on this early morning. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs who Yuan Sheng waved his hand and served retreated one after another, shouting outside, Han Cheng bowed down and entered the hall, and then took a wax pill and held it to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu buried his head in eating wontons, "Say it, I listen." ”

Han Cheng opened the wax pill and glanced at it, and replied with a smile: "Jiang Ninghou sent a long entourage and guards to Dingyuan, and now the people have already set off." ”

"This idiot is just now figured out!" Lao Zhu scolded, and a piece of burnt cake residue erupted from his mouth, "I knew that he heard it that day, and I thought he couldn't figure it out, and was about to ask you to send a few of his subordinates to Dingyuan dressed as him, but since he sent someone, you don't want to do it again." ”

"Weichen doesn't understand, since Uncle Guo pretended to sleep that day and didn't hear it, why not just pretend to be the end."

"Hmph...... He's figured out how to demonstrate to me, telling me that he's not a fool and not a pawn at my mercy. But he's just a fool, but his courage has been on the rise lately, hehe......"

Lao Zhu pinched the spoon and scooped a wonton in his hand, "Han Cheng kept an eye on his people, and as soon as they came back from Dingyuan, you would spread the news to the court, I want to see Hu Weiyong's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks...... The prince is here, you go down first. ”

I don't know what news Lao Zhu is going to spread to Hu Weiyong, the current situation is enough for Hu Weiyong to scratch his ears and cheeks, every time he sees Ma Du sitting in front of the window with a tea bowl and drinking tea leisurely, he is not angry, he can be sure that the kid is deliberate.

In the face of Ma Du, he has a feeling that the dog bites the hedgehog and has nowhere to put his mouth, he can't beat the tall and big Ma Du at all, and there is Lao Zhu behind the power Ma Du, and he sees with his own eyes that the former monolithic Zhongshu Province is now divided into two mountains, and Hu Weiyong is helpless for a while.

After letting him go, he got on a sedan chair and went home, and he has not taken a car since his son fell to his death in the car. In the past, he either went to the palace to report to Lao Zhu, or went to Li Shanchang to exchange feelings, but now Lao Zhu has Ma Du on his side, and Li Shanchang has not seen him at all when he is sick these days.

This made his already heart-wrenching agony, feeling like a child abandoned by his parents and having nothing to rely on, originally thinking that he was dominant, but now he found that he was just a vassal of other people's rights. It's like his own name "Wei Yong", can he only be a vassal of others?

"Xiangye is home!"

The sedan chair landed lightly and tilted slightly, Hu Weiyong got off the sedan chair, and as soon as he looked up, he saw someone bowing his hand at him and said: "Xiangye has returned home, and the lower official has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It turned out to be Chen Xiantai, I heard that Ling Lang died young, and now the funeral has been handled?"

Chen Ning is Hu Weiyong's important henchman, and he usually has to clean up any disobedient official, so he has to ask Chen Ning to help impeach. Speaking of which, the two of them have really been connected recently, and both of them have died with their sons. Hu Weiyong's son died in an accident, but Chen Ning's son was killed by himself, and he died a miserable death.

As for why this murderer was not sent to prison, in ancient times when the father and son of the monarch and the minister were emphasized, the son killing Lao Tzu was almost heinous as rebellion; If Lao Tzu killed his son, people will say that this father is not kind, and the people will not be held accountable, not to mention that Chen Ning is still a big official.

Chen Ning choked up and said: "There is Lao Xiangye who asked, the coffin of the dog has been sent back to his hometown for burial." ”

"Alas...... Chen Xiantai's festival mourning and taking care of your body is, let's go, talk in the study! ”

Hu Weiyong took Chen Ning to his study, and the maid servant was kicked out by him after serving tea, and then he spoke: "Last time I was humiliated by the surname Ma in Zhongshu Province, only Chen Xiantai was not afraid of obscenity to defend me, and I thank you here." ”

"What did Xiang Ye say, the arrogant and domineering surnamed Ma, relying on the identity of his relatives, you and I should be in the same boat to compete with it in the future!"

"I want to too, but that guy now has the support of the emperor, and it is difficult for you and me to protect ourselves!"

"How come, what is he a relative, Niangniang wants to be a virtuous queen, I am afraid that he will be the first not to agree to him in power, and besides, there are many cronies of Xiangye and the protection of Li Gong, how can he not fight him."

Hu Weiyong twisted his beard and muttered for a long time, "I have been friends with Brother Chen for many years, and I will tell you the truth today, I suspect that the emperor is likely to abolish me and set up a new appearance, of course, that person is definitely not him, he is just a knife to get rid of me, so if Brother Chen wants to keep his official position in the future, it is better than his own relationship." ”

He said helplessly, but a pair of eyes carefully observed the changes in Chen Ning's expression, who knew that Chen Ning did not show a panicked look as he expected, but he was just as helpless and depressed.

I only heard Chen Ning laugh bitterly, "If that's the case, then Xiaguan and Hu Yuan are really grasshoppers on the same rope." ”

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Hu Xiang was afraid that he knew that Xia Guan's son was hammered to death by me in a moment of anger, and after this matter reached the emperor, the emperor said, 'Chen Ning is like this to his son, what will he do to his father', I am afraid that Xia Guan is not only difficult to protect his career, but also his life is worried!" After Chen Ning finished speaking, he suddenly got up and knelt down in front of Hu Weiyong, pulled the hem of his clothes and cried and begged: "Please also ask Xiang Ye Nian to save the lower official in his love for many years!" ”

"Alas...... Brother Chen, what are you doing, you are also a second-grade master, how can you afford your gift, not to mention that your own appearance is also difficult to protect! ”

Chen Ning's head shook like a rattle, "This...... It shouldn't be, if the emperor wants to depose the prime minister, he doesn't have to be so troublesome, eighty percent is just to let the surnamed Ma check and balance the prime minister. I only ask the prime minister to save the life of the lower official, and the lower official is willing to go to the soup for the Hou Ye! ”

"Brother Chen gets up first......"

Hu Weiyong was about to help Chen Ning, but he heard someone shouting outside the study: "Master, master, someone from my hometown is here, saying that there is something important to report!" ”

"Let him come in and talk!" Hu Weiyong helped Chen Ning up again, "Brother Chen sits down first and has something to say!" ”

After a while, the door of the study was pushed open, and a person who looked like a steward came in, kowtowed to Hu Weiyong, and beckoned outside, and a few servants in green clothes and small hats carried things into the study, and the object was about one person tall, covered with red silk I don't know what it was.

Hu Weiyong said to the steward: "Hu Kun, you don't take good care of the old mansion in Dingyuan, what tricks do you do!" ”

The steward looked at Chen Ning, who was sitting on the side, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"The lower official will leave first, and come back to visit the prime minister another day!" Chen Ning was about to get up, but was held down by Hu Weiyong.

"Chen Xiantai is a confidant of the prime minister, it doesn't hurt if you have something to say!"

The steward lifted the red silk and saw a cone-shaped stalagmite, which was not gold or jade.

Hu Weiyong frowned unhappily and said, "You sent me this from far away?" ”

"Master, don't be in a hurry to listen to the villain's words, this stalagmite was not bought by the villain, and the second was not chiseled by the villain in the mountains, but grew in our well."

"Out of a well?" Hu Weiyong's eyes widened in disbelief, and Chen Ning on the side also had bright eyes.

"That's right, it's the well that grows, some time ago, the servants at home went to fetch water early in the morning, only to find that there was a steaming mist on the well, and the bucket couldn't be put down, and when the fog disappeared at noon, I saw a stalagmite on the water surface, and the villain wasted a lot of effort to let the salvage come up, and found a person to see the feng shui, saying that this is a rare auspicious sign of great wealth and wealth, so he hurriedly sent it to Xiangye."

"Xiangrui?" Hu Weiyong looked at Chen Ning again, "Brother Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Ning said happily: "It is indeed an auspicious omen, and the lower officials see that it will not be long before Xiangye is afraid that he will be running and soaring!" ”

Hu Weiyong said with a smile: "If this is auspicious, then my ancestor will glow red at night, then it will be considered auspicious?" ”

The smile on Chen Ning's face immediately froze when he heard this......
