Jiang Chuan walked out of the room and was about to walk towards the front hall, when he suddenly heard a timid voice behind him: "Lord Wang, the slave maid is waiting for you to comb your hair." ”

Jiang Chuan looked back and saw that it was the beautiful maid who was in the carriage before.

It was just a glance before, and I didn't look closely. Now take a closer look, this girl is neither tall nor short, with graceful curves, a green palace dress and gauze skirt that fits elegantly, a pleasing goose egg face with willow eyebrows, a pair of black grape-like eyes with anxiety, looking at herself like a frightened deer.

The most eye-catching thing is that there is a small mole on the left wing of the girl's small and straight nose, which makes the whole person's temperament instantly more playful and cute.

To be honest, although thanks to the information explosion in his previous life, Jiang Chuan has also seen many beauties of various types. But the woman in front of him still made his eyes light up, and he couldn't help but be a little tempted.

This is exactly the type he likes, it looks pure and youthful and smart, and there is a temperament that can arouse men's desire to protect.

The girl's face was still flushed at the moment, apparently the same woman who was waiting for her to take a bath just now.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that she was waiting for him to take a bath, and suddenly he was a little embarrassed.

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Chuan asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, slave Deng Xiaojin." The beautiful maid hurriedly replied softly.

"Deng Xiaojin? Well, this king remembers you. Jiang Chuan smiled slightly, turned around and strode towards the front hall, leaving Deng Xiaojin with a blank face standing in place and not knowing what to do, just stunned and looked at the tall back figure that was gradually moving away in a daze.

Su Qin and Wei Zhongxian were both waiting for Jiang Chuan in the Discussion Hall, and Jiang Chuan entered directly through the back door of the Discussion Palace.

This council hall is quite large, it is an independent courtyard, and the main building is the main hall and the warm pavilions on both sides, also known as the East Warm Pavilion and the West Warm Pavilion. In addition, there are some houses in the back that are used for the eunuchs, palace maids and guards when they are on duty.

Jiang Chuan entered through the back door, and the leading guard shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived." ”

Wei Zhongxian and Su Qin, who heard the voice, hurriedly walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Su Qin just bowed, but Wei Zhongxian bowed to the courtesy, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Slave Wei Zhongxian knocked to see His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old and a thousand years old!" ”

Jiang Chuan smiled: "The two of you are exempt. ”

Only then did the two get up, and everyone came to the Dongnuan Pavilion, Jiang Chuan sat on the couch, and the eunuch on the side sent a brocade pier to Wei Zhongxian and Su Qin for the two to sit down.

Jiang Chuan looked at Wei Zhongxian and smiled slightly: "Let Gonggong Wei wait for a long time." ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said with a flattering smile on his face: "Your Highness's words have tormented the slaves. His Royal Highness is the master, and the slave and maid are the servant, and even the slave and the maid should wait for a day. ”

"Haha, Gonggong Wei doesn't dare to be this king. Who doesn't know that Gonggong Wei is now the first person in the inner court, and everyone in the Manchu Dynasty has to rely on Gonggong Wei's snort. If you want to talk about the master, then the master of Gonggong Wei can only be the emperor, and this king can't afford it. Jiang Chuan deliberately teased.

Wei Zhongxian's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, don't make fun of the old slave." Although the old slave is serving His Majesty, the old slave's heart is loyal to His Royal Highness. Everyone in the world now knows that His Royal Highness is the real heaven of this Ming Dynasty. Without the protection of His Royal Highness, the Ming Dynasty would have been finished. The old slave was sincere in front of His Highness, knowing that His Highness was going to enter the city today, so he asked for an opportunity to hurry up to meet His Highness. Your Royal Highness, if the old slave dares to be a little disloyal to His Royal Highness, heaven and earth can learn from it, if there is a little bit of untruth, let the old slave have ten thousand arrows through his heart, and he will not die well! ”

The ancients did not swear easily, because people still have some awe of ghosts and gods in their hearts, so they are not easy to break the oath.

Wei Zhongxian was really frightened by Jiang Chuan's words, thinking that Jiang Chuan had heard some rumors that were unfavorable to him. He saw very clearly that sooner or later, the world would be under His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

As soon as His Royal Highness King Qin enters Beijing, His Majesty in the palace will inevitably become a puppet.

And the last time he saw His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he had just been awarded the title of Marquis, and now in less than half a year, he has destroyed the invincible Manchu Qing and unified Liaodong. Now he has led his troops into the customs, broken the Liukou four times, defeated Li Zicheng, relieved the siege of the capital, and has become a pivotal pillar in the world, and the entire court will blow a tornado with a stomp of his feet.

If he was forced before, then now he has made up his mind to hug Jiang Chuan's thigh.

Since he plans to do so, then Jiang Chuan has to think carefully about whether there is any extraneous meaning even if he is a fart.

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised to see Wei Zhongxian's reaction so big, but after thinking about it slightly, he probably understood his thoughts.

Standing up to help the old eunuch, Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "Gong Wei's words are serious. Gonggong Wei has a sincere heart for this king, and this king naturally understands. But after all, His Majesty needs his father-in-law to serve, so his father-in-law will stay by His Majesty's side and serve. If there is anything in the palace that the king should know, the father-in-law can tell him. The credit will be remembered by the father-in-law. Again, this king has always had clear rewards and punishments, and his father-in-law can rest assured. ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart fell into his stomach, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The old slave understands, the old slave understands, and he will definitely not disappoint His Highness." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and motioned for him to get up and sit down and speak.

He actually deliberately knocked Wei Zhongxian just now, and by the way, he tested his reaction. Now it seems that this old eunuch is still very clear.

Su Qin smiled on the side and said nothing, but looking at Jiang Chuan's gaze, he was a little more relieved, and secretly said in his heart that this lord's current mastery of maneuvering skills is becoming more and more proficient.

After Wei Zhongxian sat down again, Jiang Chuan introduced Su Qin to Wei Zhongxian.

Su Qin smiled and said, "Lord, just now the minister has already met Grandpa Wei. ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly smiled and said: "Su Changshi is a great talent in the world, and the old slave can get it, which is the blessing of the old slave." ”

Su Qin's current official identity is the history of the Qin Wangfu in Jiangchuan. The so-called long history is the highest-ranking official among the subordinate officials of the royal palace, which is equivalent to the head of the royal palace.

Jiang Chuan smiled heartily: "Since the two of you have already met, it will be better." Father-in-law Wei, what did the emperor send you for? ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said today's matter, and took out the gift list to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan took it and glanced at it, and what was written on it was nothing more than how many Dongzhu, all kinds of silk and silk, etc., he was not very interested in these.

The last line said that twenty palace maids were rewarded, which made Jiang Chuan a little surprised.

However, those who come do not refuse, and no matter how many people come, this palace can live.

Let Su Qin accept the gift list, send someone to hand over the people brought by Wei Zhongxian, and place the twenty palace maids.

Su Qin was busy with these things, and Jiang Chuan asked about Wei Zhongxian's capital. After all, Wei Zhongxian was still in charge of Jinyiwei, and he still knew a lot of things.

Although the Black Ice Platform is very strong, after all, the time to enter Beijing is still short, and the foundation is still shallow, so many things are not yet clear to Jinyiwei.

Jiang Chuan focused on asking about several nobles such as Liu Lin, the Duke of Wei, and had a better idea of his plan.

Wei Zhongxian told Jiang Chuan that the emperor planned to hold a banquet for Jiang Chuan in the imperial garden three days later, and all the officials would attend at that time.

Jiang Chuan's heart moved, and he suddenly had a new idea.

After all, Wei Zhongxian was a minister, and he couldn't stay too long, so as not to make the emperor suspicious. So I quickly quit.

When he left, Jiang Chuan instructed him to ask Jinyiwei not to investigate the assassin's affairs for the time being, if he needed Jinyiwei's help, he would speak, and Wei Zhongxian naturally agreed.
