Xiao Huaiyuan's face is too square, Fang Zheng described him like this, there is nothing wrong with it, but unfortunately Xiao Huaiyuan didn't understand, arched his hand perfunctorily, and said with a smile: "If you have a fate, I want to get acquainted with this brother who looks similar to me." ”

Fang Zheng nodded with a smile: "It must be, you two must have a speculative conversation." ”

Since this meal was Fang Zheng's treat, Xiao Huaiyuan was not polite to him, he raised his chopsticks and buried his head in eating, the Eight Treasures Banquet was indeed delicious, and the ingredients were precious, so it was rare to eat it once. Xiao Huaiyuan was sweating profusely, and his appearance was not very elegant, but he didn't care, Fang Zheng felt again that this Xiao Huaiyuan had a lot of similarities with himself, and shamelessness was just one of them.

After exchanging three glasses, Fang Zheng put down his wine glass and asked, "Brother Xiao, what is your intention in mentioning that Li Ye to me just now?" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan said with a smile: "Brother Fang and I hit it off at first sight, and I know that Brother Fang is an official in the court, so I talk about it casually, and Brother Fang doesn't take it to heart." ”

This guy is slippery like a loach, it seems that the friendship is not at that point, this guy will not tell the truth.

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "I haven't asked Brother Xiao what he does for a living?" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan's eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "Don't dare to hide it from Brother Fang, there is a little miscellaneous person in the Prince's Mansion, and he will laugh when he sees it." ”

Fang Zheng was taken aback, the prince's people? He said that it was miscellaneous, and looking at his dress and temperament, I was afraid that this statement was very modest.

For the crown prince, Fang Zheng has always maintained appropriate vigilance in his heart, he feels that the prince looks elegant and gentle, polite in conversation, and Fang Zheng also has a lot of intentions to woo him, but Fang Zheng just doesn't like him. Just like animals have a natural sense of vigilance against their enemies, Fang Zheng can't say that the prince is bad, but he always keeps a distance from the prince intentionally or unintentionally, and the prince has not impressed him with generous gifts twice.

The person in front of him Xiao Huaiyuan is the prince, so Fang Zheng can't help but be careful, he personally admires him on the one hand, but Fang Zheng doesn't want him to have anything to do with the prince. He knows very well that he doesn't have the ability to play with fire, the ancient laws are strict, and matters involving the royal family can easily be implicated, and once he is implicated, the whole family will have to lose his head, Fang Zheng is not a bold person, for himself, for the whole family, he must choose to stay away from the prince.

As a result, Fang Zheng had one question after another in his heart: This kid knows me, is it really unintentional, or was he instructed by the prince? If he had been instructed to do so, he would never have so calmly admitted that he was a member of the Prince's Mansion. Also, he hid outside Li Ye's room, what did he want to inquire? It's incomprehensible......

"Ahh It turns out that Brother Xiao is doing an errand in the mansion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is disrespectful and disrespectful! Fang Zheng exaggeratedly bowed his hand to Xiao Huaiyuan.

Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned, and hurriedly responded: "You're polite!" It's just a bowl of rice to eat, where can I compare to Brother Shang, Xiaoao Chaotang, turn the tide, save the Chinese Dynasty and the people in dire straits, compared to Brother Fang, it is simply unbearable to mention in the next, and there is no place to be ashamed! ”

This guy's sycophant kung fu is not weaker than his own at all, and he seems to be a fierce opponent.

Fang Zheng said: "Brother Xiao's words are wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of my Hua Dynasty, he will ascend to the throne one day, I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle and kind, and he has a generous temperament, and he can do things under the hands of the Prince, what glory and happiness it should be, I can't wait to exchange it with Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, I really envy you!" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan's face turned a little blue, and when he heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Brother Fang is really ...... It's really ...... Hehe......"

After thinking about it, he couldn't find a word that could accurately express the character of Young Master Fang, and Xiao Huaiyuan was exhausted.

"It's shameless, isn't it?" Fang Zheng smiled and helped him say it.

Xiao Huaiyuan nodded and laughed: "Knowing Brother Fang, it's a blessing to be here!" ”

Fang Zheng smiled: "Each other, how close our brothers will be in the future." ”

So the two began to look intimate, but in fact there was some hypocrisy to push the cup and change the lamp.

If it comes to shamelessness and cheating, Fang Zheng is still slightly better after all, especially at the wine table, Fang Zheng learned a lot of tricks or persuasion methods from his previous life, Xiao Huaiyuan, an ancient man, is smooth and shrewd, how can he compare to Fang Zheng? It didn't take long for Fang Zheng to get Xiao Huaiyuan drunk, but Fang Zheng himself was safe and sound.

Looking at Xiao Huaiyuan, who was lying on the table and fell asleep, Fang Zheng smiled and walked down.

Seeing Fang Zheng coming down, the shopkeeper of Invite Yue hurriedly saluted and said, "Young owner, have you eaten with your friends?" ”

Fang Zheng patted the shopkeeper's shoulder and smiled: "Well, the taste has been getting better and better recently, not bad." Take care of it carefully, and in a few days I will recommend you to my father to be a deacon of the firm. ”

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and swore a poisonous oath, saying that his loyalty to the other party's business could be seen every day.

Fang Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say it so seriously......

patted the shopkeeper's shoulder, Fang Zheng pointed to it, and whispered: "The one who came with me, he is actually not my friend, he is my enemy, that enemy made me very unhappy today, you can go up to him later, and ask him to settle the money for today's meal, don't be polite to him, charge him two hundred taels ......"

The shopkeeper has just been praised and promoted by the Shaodong family, and this is the time to show his loyalty. ”

Fang Zheng laughed and swaggered out of Yingyue. Regardless of whether he is an enemy or a friend with this Brother Xiao in the future, it doesn't matter if he is a little with him now.

Not long after, a terrible and sad roar came from the private room of the fifth month of the invitation: "Didn't you say that he had a treat?" ”

“…… You young owners are just bastards! ”

“…… No money! I don't have any money! ”

"I don't have any money to send me to the official!"

“…………”

-------------------------

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

In the secluded apse, the prince was carrying his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright moon above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

A middle-aged man dressed in black was standing behind the prince, standing with his hands down, and whispering, "...... Since the household Liu Shilang raided Qing, our income has plummeted by nearly fifty percent, and His Royal Highness's daily expenses, such as befriending courtiers and border generals, have shrunk greatly, and in the long run, my subordinates may not be conducive to the prince's great cause, please ask His Royal Highness the prince to make a clear decision. ”

The crown prince sighed, "The past two years have been really eventful in the DPRK and China, the Turks have retreated before they have come in, the negotiations have been completed, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China has begun again, alas! My father is really hard, and I can't bear it. ”

The middle-aged man in black looked up at the prince in surprise, as if he didn't expect the prince to say this, and then he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "The emperor is old, and his physical strength and energy are becoming more and more exhausted, His Royal Highness the prince and even filial piety should share more state affairs for the emperor." ”

The prince nodded and smiled: "That's right, seeing that my father's body is getting worse day by day, as a son, seeing it in my eyes and hurting in my heart, I should share my father's worries more." ”

The middle-aged man cautiously probed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the matter of Liu Shilang checking Qing......"

A little gloom flashed in the prince's eyes, and then he regained his calm, and the prince smiled lightly: "Then let him check, don't pay attention to it for the time being, it is the father's will to govern the Qingben, and he can't ignore his father's will." In the future, when expenses are due, they will be temporarily withdrawn from the treasury of the house, and they will survive this time. ”

The middle-aged man said yes, and then said: "I heard that because of the seizure of Qing, Liu Shilang and Pan Shangshu also had a very unpleasant quarrel......

A hint of color flashed in the prince's eyes, and he smiled: "Oh? Is there such a thing? The teacher is old, and his temper is still the same as it was back then, hehe, why are they arguing? ”

"According to the report of the people arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Shangshu Mansion, Pan Shangshu hoped that Liu Shilang would give up the raid, but Liu Shilang actually refused Pan Shangshu in order to avenge his son."

The prince smiled a little happily: "Isn't Liu Shilang the teacher's protégé?" If there was no teacher to promote him over the years, how could he sit in the position of Hubu Shangshu? Did he not even want his own life for the sake of his son's future? ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Liu Shilang seems to be disheartened by the officialdom, and he has expressed several times that after avenging his son, he resigned and returned to his hometown."

After pondering for a moment, the prince suddenly said, "What is that Fang Zheng doing now?" ”

The middle-aged humanitarian: "Fang Zheng is idle now, wandering around the capital, a few days ago in the Nuanchun Pavilion somehow, he actually met Xiao Huaiyuan in His Royal Highness's mansion, and his subordinates dared to ask, is this a deliberate arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

The prince shook his head and said with a puzzled expression: "How could Xiao Huaiyuan know him?" Lone has never instructed it, are they intentional or unintentional......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to summon Xiao Huaiyuan over and ask?"

"No, you shouldn't know about this matter, send someone to watch it carefully, I don't want any tiny details to ruin Lone's big deal! Either don't move, or you have to do it all with one blow, we only have one chance, understand? ”

"Yes!"

--------------------

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor summoned Fang Zheng again.

"Weichen Fang Zheng, long live my emperor ......"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, come in." The emperor's voice implied a smile.

Fang Zheng hurriedly got up and stepped on the crimson carpet in the imperial study and walked in.

"Wow! Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days, Weichen found that you are much younger, and the wrinkles on your face have faded a lot, it seems that the emperor has a good spirit these days. The emperor is the backbone of my Chinese dynasty, and the emperor's dragon health is always remembered by the people of the world, for the sake of the country, for the people of the world, the emperor must take care of the dragon body, not too hard......"

Finding that the emperor was smiling, it seemed that he was in a good mood, Fang Zheng took this opportunity to hurriedly step forward and pat himself on the back.

The emperor laughed and said: "This mouth of yours is too slippery, I don't know how many people have been deceived." ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Weichen is such a loyal and honest person, how can he be slippery? The emperor said seriously......"

"If you are honest and honest, you will no longer find a treacherous person in the whole world."

When the two of them met this time, the atmosphere was quite harmonious and cordial. Fang Zheng looked at the emperor with his hair on his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, he was just an old man, a lonely old man, living in a very big house, he needed his children and grandchildren to talk to him, make him happy, and even be coquettish with him. However, he may not be able to realize this wish, the imperial power that has been formed for a long time, even if he is a fat man, I am afraid that he will not even dare to come out in front of him, let alone talk and laugh.

Fang Zheng felt that he could be so loved by the emperor, and he messed around several times, but the emperor didn't blame him, maybe there was also this reason. After all, in the entire Hua Dynasty several times, there is no big or small person who dares to be in front of the emperor, and he is the only young master. And this is neither big nor small, it is exactly the warmth that the emperor hopes to get in his heart.

"Fang Zheng, you are slippery enough, I asked you to govern Qing, but you pushed Liu Shilang of the household department to the front, you are good, hide in the back and keep quiet, not only do errands, but also do not offend the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, please both ends, left and right. To be honest, I really admire you. The emperor said with a smile.

Fang Zheng smiled proudly when he heard this: "The main thing is that Weichen can understand the holy will, hehe, the emperor said that he would reuse Weichen, if Weichen comes forward to offend the ministers, how will Weichen do errands for the emperor in the future, you say yes?" ”

The emperor smiled slightly, noncommittal.

"Do you know what I called you for today?" The emperor asked with a smile.

Fang Zheng shook his head: "The emperor is unfathomable, far-sighted, everything he says and sees is to look at the overall situation, and Weichen can only admire the emperor, and dare not guess ......"

"Okay, okay, put away your ass, it's a clumsy shot." The emperor smiled.

"You let Liu Shilang do the things of governing the youth, come, I will introduce someone to you to know."

Saying that, the emperor clapped his hands, and a person turned out from behind the white jade screen in the imperial study, this person is about thirty years old, of medium stature, and ordinary-looking, belonging to the kind of person who forgets at a glance in the crowd, and this person is wearing regular clothes, not wearing official robes, what does the emperor mean by introducing him to me?

After the man came out, he politely arched his hand towards Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "In Xia Wensen, I have seen Lord Fang." ”

Fang Zheng glanced at the emperor and saw that he was looking at the two of them with a smile. So Fang Zheng smiled and arched his hand at Wen Sen and said, "Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Brother Wen's name is good, hehe, catchy, elegant and vulgar, as soon as you hear it, you know that you are not easy to mess with, Wen Sen, plague god, haha......"

Wen Sen smiled, "Lord Fang praised falsely, when he was born in Xia, he was born with a lack of wood, so his parents gave him the word 'Sen', hehe, it made Lord Fang laugh." ”

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "If you lack wood, you will be called Sen, if you lack gold, you will be called Xin, and if you lack water, you will be called Miao ......."

Vincent nodded and smiled: "Exactly, there are more people who believe this, hehe." ”

Fang Zheng pondered for a while, frowned, and said, "It's not proper, it's inappropriate......"

The emperor and Wen Sen were surprised and said in unison, "What's wrong? ”

"This ...... If he is named 'Jing', what is missing in his life? ”
