Besides, he had a headache, and what he was most afraid of was being stirred up in the tense relationship between Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. said that the tension is light, especially Gao Gong and Xu Jie, now the relationship is similar to water and fire, but he has a teacher-student relationship with Xu Jie.

"Be far away from Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng, don't let yourself fall into it." The little prince hurriedly reminded.

"I know." Besides, his face was expressionless.

"It is said that the emperor is really good to you, as soon as you come, I will give you a five-grade brocade guard official to do, if you are asked to be the imperial doctor alone, then your identity will be much worse." The little prince said.

Besides, he was also very confused, originally according to his own ideas, he just came to be Zhang Juzheng's staff, that's all.

After he arrived in Beijing, it was true at first, and when Zhang Juzheng saw him, he was taken under his own wing, so that he could profess to be a protector. Xu Jie, Gao Gong stretched out an olive branch to him, but he couldn't visit, Zhang Juzheng said to him that when the old and the new are changing, it is better to stay away from these important people, so as not to invite unwarranted disasters.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, a eunuch from the inner court came to deliver an edict, appointing him as the imperial doctor, and the commander of the Wupin Jinyi Guard gave him two waist cards.

He asked Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng said that this was the emperor's own will, and it belonged to the Holy Judgment, and he had not discussed it with them.

It is difficult to disobey the king's order, so naturally he has to obey it.

However, he, the commander of the brocade guard, is paid empty, and he has no yamen to go to work, and there is not a single soldier under his hands, otherwise he really wants to form a team of blood drops to have a good time.

He had wondered if Emperor Jiajing had wanted to give him Jinshi and the first rank directly, but he refused, Emperor Longqing may have remembered the will of the emperor and gave him this treatment, but thinking about what happened to him on the way to Beijing, he dispelled this idea.

Although it is an idle person in the imperial court, the treatment is not low, flying fish clothes, homely clothes, formal dresses, etc., each given a set, because there is no yamen, of course, he is not equipped with a sedan chair, but only gives the carriage and horse fare, etc., it seems that the Jinyi Wei is still much higher than the average courtier's treatment.

He went to the Ministry of Officials, filled out some documents, and the people of the Ministry looked at him like a monster, I don't know where this Lord came from and what he came to do, as soon as he entered Beijing, he made a beautiful difference, and privately thought that he was a son of the prince's family, and spent money to buy the messenger.

Before the enthronement ceremony, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to participate in the court meeting, but three days before the court meeting, the eunuch sent a decree to let him prepare to participate in the court meeting, and also told him a lot of rules for participating in the court meeting, so as not to be caught by the imperial history when he fouled the law.

This time, even Zhang Juzheng was not calm, he sat and thought about it for a long time, and he didn't understand what the emperor meant, almost all the emperor's decisions in the past were decided after discussing with Gao Gong, him and Chen Yiqin, and now it is no matter how big or small it is, it is still necessary to consult their opinions first, only besides, the emperor has never discussed a word with them.

"The emperor should value you especially for the sake of Brother Musa's affection." Zhang Juzheng could only explain like this in the end, after all, Chen Musa and Emperor Jiajing's father and son had a deep friendship.

Moreover, although it was against Emperor Longqing's wishes to go to Beijing this time, there was still a high-sounding reason why the monarch's order could not be violated, not to mention that Huang Jin, the former eunuch of the ceremony, personally led the team to pick him up, and even if he wanted to, it was difficult to escape. Moreover, it can be said that he went to Beijing by himself, but it is more like being escorted into Beijing.

The emperor may have used this grace to show that he did not care about his previous behavior, and he also attached great importance to his talents, which will be of great use in the future.

As he spoke, the servant began to set up the feast.

The little prince blew his beard and glared: "I said, junior brother, your house is good, but the inside is empty, as if it was stolen by thieves." You are not short of money, why don't you buy more servants, we have to bring our own cooks, servants, and our own wine and meat, do you have such hospitality? ”

Besides, he smiled: "I just have cooks and servants, and you also want to use your own people, why do you do so much." ”

The little prince is still the leader of the year, no matter where he goes, he brings his whole class, the chef must take it, and the food he likes is purchased by themselves, and he doesn't trust others at all.

But one thing he said was right, besides, although he bought a few maid servants, it was really not enough to entertain guests at home, he invited Zhang Juzheng's staff to have a few banquets, all of which were eaten in the restaurant outside.

"Congratulations, sir." The chef came up and said hello.

"Rejoice, rejoice, the silver will be given to you in a while."

Besides, he understands things very well, these guys are just willing to blackmail him if they have nothing to do, who made him give people the impression that a person is stupid and has a lot of money.

"Brother, what is the court meeting like, are you nervous?" Of course, Xiao Nier has never seen the official court meeting, and she feels a little excited and nervous when she imagines it, if she is on that occasion, she will probably have to hide in the shadows of the corner.

"It's just a bunch of big people getting together and kowtowing to the emperor." Besides, think about it and laugh.

"Don't underestimate this court meeting, Emperor Daxing has not been in court for more than 20 years, and every court meeting is a national ceremony. Therefore, it is a great honor to be able to participate in this kind of pilgrimage. The little prince said.

"It is true that Emperor Daxing has not officially ascended to the court for more than 20 years, but his authority has never moved downward, and now it seems that he will be an emperor who works hard, but his authority has now moved down." And sighed.

He was influenced by Chen Musa, and he still had an inexplicable nostalgia for Emperor Jiajing, no matter how good or bad Emperor Jiajing was, he always held the authority, which ordinary emperors couldn't do. Emperor Longqing had just ascended the throne, and half of the power had already fallen into the hands of Gao Gong.

"Don't talk about this, these are all things that those big people worry about, let's just drink and have fun." The little prince raised his glass and said.

"This time I came, Pomegranate had to shout to come with me to find you, but I didn't dare to agree." The little prince said.

"It's not the time yet, I can't pick them up yet."

Besides, he also thinks about Pomegranate, Zuo Ling, and even more about children, but now the situation is still unclear, and he feels that the danger is not far away, but may be more serious, at this time he said that he can't let Pomegranate and them come over and put themselves in danger.

"That's what I said, by the way, and your good friend, who said he was going to come to you himself."

"What's good?" Besides, it was only when the words came out that I understood that he was talking about Li Xiangjun.

"What are you pretending to be confused, you will forget about the debts you owe, and people will come to you to pay off the debts." The little prince gloated again.

Besides, I don't know if the little prince really doesn't know the relationship between him and Li Xiangjun, or if he deliberately pretends to be confused.

Zhou Dingcheng didn't speak, just drank with his head down.

Since coming to Beijing, he and Xiaojun have connected again, and the two of them often get together to drink and talk nonsense, and he basically has nothing to say to outsiders.

Xiao Nier kept asking about the situation at home, especially the situation of the children, the little prince often went over to see if he had nothing to do, and he knew the situation in the Marquis's Mansion very well, he had a good relationship with the Marquis of Wucheng, and as for Chen Musa, he went to report every day.

The little prince patiently answered Xiao Nier's question, and said that his heart was even more homesick.

"Actually, I think if the emperor hadn't appointed you as this official, it would have been better to go back to Nanjing to live a leisurely life, which is both boring and dangerous here, compared to here, Nanjing is really a paradise." The little prince sighed.

"That is, although there are all kinds of intrigues and intrigues in the Nanjing officialdom, relatively speaking, they are all based on pleasure, which is like here, as if they are all competing to eat people." And sighed.

Although he has not thought of going back soon since he embarked on the journey to Beijing, in comparison, Nanjing is really a paradise of life, but those officials in Nanjing may not think so, in their eyes, Beijing is their battlefield, the paradise they yearn for.

Besides, thinking about his life in Suzhou and Nanjing, it is really extremely comfortable and comfortable, and even the gods are not envious, but after arriving in Beijing, there is always a feeling of trembling as if he is on the edge of the abyss.

"When will Senior Brother go back? Can you stay longer? Besides, he asked.

"You have to stay for half a month, in a few days, the emperor and queen may have to summon our relatives and contact our feelings, this is a program that is inevitable every time there is a change of dynasty, you may be invited, after all, you are now a person in the Wucheng Marquis's mansion."

"Why didn't my eldest brother come this time?" Besides, it was the Marquis of Wucheng who asked.

"I heard that the frontier has been unstable recently, and those barbarians outside the Seychelles are a little ready to move, so the military ministers from all over the country have been ordered not to leave their posts without permission this time, because they are afraid that there will be something at the border. Marquis Wucheng is the governor of Nanjing, and of course he can't leave the defense area. The little prince said.

"Another war?"

"There is no big battle, but the border has been stopped for many years, there should be some movement, this is a common thing, and those barbarians outside the Seychelles will not be willing if they don't make some movement every few years. Now the main thing is that there is some movement in the Ministry of Answer, and there are rumors that I will knock on the customs again. ”

Moreover, the hand holding the wine glass stopped in the air, before and after the Yingzong Dynasty, the main border trouble was the Wara tribe, and since Jiajing, the main border trouble was the Alta Department, which were all old Mongolian departments, mainly outside Datong and Xuanfu.

Although Nanjing is far away from these border passes, once the war breaks out, it is possible to transfer Nanjing's troops to fight in the border fortress, so this time Wei Guogong and Wucheng Marquis did not leave Nanjing to participate in the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

This can show that the situation at the border is still very tight, otherwise even the emperor's enthronement ceremony would not be so tense.

"By the way, I heard that you were assassinated several times along the way to Beijing, who instigated them, have you found out?" The little prince suddenly asked.

"Clear? No one checked it at all. However, Lord Huang was cut down, and even the welfare of his descendants was abolished. Besides, I can't help but get angry when I think about it.

"Lord Huang is really miserable, generally speaking, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the original eunuch must be replaced, but in the past, he was generally able to retire honorably, and his treatment would not only not be reduced, but would increase by one level. I didn't expect Lord Huang to be so miserable in the end. The little prince was also embarrassed.
