Chapter Seventy-Three: Latent

Yun Lin saw that although the two of them came very suddenly, there was no other malicious intent, so he took the opportunity to say, "My lord, I'll go to barbecue, you guys chat." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 With that, he walked over to the barbecue grill and started grilling the meat.

"I know what it means to 'put oil drops on the meat in the oven,'" Wang Zhenzuo was a scholar before he was a caster, so he had some cultural knowledge. Chai Baochen looked in the direction of Wang Zhen's finger, it was really like that. The sizzle of the meat being roasted. The oil drips on the charcoal and the flame chick jumps up. Yun Lin smeared a layer of honey on the meat skewers with a brush, and the fragrance was immediately overflowing.

Yun Lin took the meat skewers off, put them on the plate, and respectfully placed them on the dining table. He turned around and went back to the barbecue. "Take these to the two women first, we're here, they're embarrassed."

Chai Baochen gave in for a moment, took the meat, and took a few baked cakes and handed them to Wei Su, and let them go into the house to eat first. Another guest came, and it was inconvenient for the female relatives to show up.

"Come, let's have a drink." The prince proposed.

"Okay, come, I'll pay respect." Chai Baochen raised the wine glass above his head and drank it all. This wine is really not ordinary, it is fragrant in the throat, slightly spicy, and has a lot of stamina, and after drinking, the whole body is comfortable.

"This is a royal tribute, the prince appreciates you very much, you have to follow him to do a good job." Ma Shun reminded in a timely manner.

"Could it be that the prince is going to win me over on this trip. What do I have that he likes? Chai Baochen thought in his heart. He immediately chimed in: "I am loyal to the imperial court, and I must be attentive to what I do." ”

"Huh~, of course you have to be loyal to the court. You must also be loyal to the prince, so that you can be promoted and rich. Ma Shun said, looking at the courtyard, which was not too big.

"That's right. Chai-sama, how is your new grenade developed? The prince asked.

"It's underway, and it's estimated that it won't be able to be developed in ten months." Chai Baochen replied.

"Good! When the time comes, you must report it to me first, so that I can see and understand it first. Wang Gonggong said.

"This is natural."

"After you develop your grenades, can you give me two?" The prince had a greedy expression.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The production and use of munitions must be strictly recorded by the imperial court to prevent accidents. If I take two grenades in private, wouldn't I be disloyal to the court? Chai Baochen frowned and said.

"It's brain-dead." Ma Shun enlightened on the side, "Dongchang and Jinyiwei will not pursue it, and who else will know about it." All you need to do is bring two grenades and give them to the prince, he is very rare in his old man. Do you understand?

As soon as Yun Lin heard the conversation on his side, he knew that something was wrong. If Chai Baochen agrees, if something happens in the future, he will definitely be implicated. If you don't follow at this time, your career will be hit immediately. He "coughed" loudly a few times, rubbed his smoke-soaked eyes, and said to himself: "No matter how good the charcoal fire is, there will be times when it only smokes and does not catch fire." Isn't this smoked? ”

When Chai Baochen heard this, he understood that he could give him a dud. So, he stood up and thought about the prince and bowed, and said loudly: "I want to listen to the prince and father-in-law!" ”

As soon as Ma Shun heard him say this, he immediately smiled, filled the wine for a few people, walked to Chai Baochen's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Lord Chai, sit down and talk first." ”

The prince said, "Good! The children can be taught. The future is limitless! ”

A few people pushed the cup to change the lamp, but they didn't feel that the moon was on the branches. Wang Gonggong and Ma Shun took their leave. As soon as they went out on the front foot, Liu Wan'er ran out of the room, walked to Chai Baochen's side, "snapped" a slap and slapped it, and said to Chai Baochen: "Why don't you avenge me?" If you don't take revenge, you don't have to take revenge, you actually went to take refuge in that traitor! ”

Chai Baochen covered his face and looked at Liu Wan'er, he had a lot of words in his heart but couldn't say it. At this time, Yun Lin said on the side: "Silence! ”

I saw Yunlin perform light skills, stumbling up and down, jumping on the eaves, checking the surroundings of the courtyard, and then jumping down. He walked up to Liu Wan'er, patted Wan'er on the shoulder, and said, "Wan'er, you blame him." You don't know the situation in the capital, but at the moment Wang Zhen seems to have a rebellious heart against the emperor. This is evidenced by the fact that he secretly wooed Chai Baochen and wanted to hide weapons! Do you just want to kill Wang Zhen? Don't want to rehabilitate your father? If we find evidence of Wang Zhen's crimes, not only to kill a Wang Zhen, but also to purge those traitors for the court, isn't this exactly your father's wish? Also, just now, Wang Zhen and Ma Shun didn't come alone, there were more than 20 good hands hiding outside the courtyard, and if there was a little wind and grass, we would be all finished. This revenge will never be avenged. ”

Liu Wan'er left two lines of tears, she didn't expect that Chai Baochen was already contributing to the country and the people, and she was wrong, but she blamed him, threw herself into Chai Baochen's arms, and cried. Chai Baochen stroked Liu Wan'er's back and comforted him softly, he was just lurking in Wang Zhen's camp and would not be in the same stream as him.

This incident also reminded Chai Baochen that the capital is really unusual, and he is always under the surveillance of others. It turned out that the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were everywhere, and they were not only targeted as soon as Wei Su entered the city, but also followed him to his home. It's horrible. In the future, you must keep a low profile and take strict precautions.

A few days later, Chai Baochen went to court. The emperor announced one thing: the ninth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of orthodoxy is the seventieth birthday of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the imperial court wants to hold a birthday banquet for her, and orders Wang Zhen to be the commander-in-chief, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are jointly responsible for handling it well.

After the court was dispersed, Wang Zhen left the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry to discuss the celebration in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Wang Zhen knew that this was an opportunity to curry favor with Empress Dowager Zhang, so he must do things well at all costs, so that Empress Dowager Zhang could be happy and his position could be stabilized.

He asked everyone to talk casually and see if there was something new in this year's birthday banquet. Cao Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted by Wang Zhen, and in order to show his loyalty, he took the lead in saying: "Play a few more scenes, so that the Empress Dowager can enjoy it." ”

Wang Zhenyi turned his head and said, "Bad idea, the old lady of Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't like to watch dramas. ”

Cao Wei was speechless for a moment, so she had to lower her head, look at her nose and her nose at her heart.

Chen Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "In my opinion, don't act in the play, after all, she doesn't like to watch it." As soon as he said these words, Cao Wei glanced at him and muttered in a low voice: "Hindsight." Chen Xundang didn't hear it, and continued: "I have an idea. ”

When Wang Zhen heard this, he hurriedly said, "What idea?" Say it. ”

"I suggest holding a cooking contest so that Empress Dowager Zhang can eat some good things on her birthday." Chen Xun said.

What he said reminded Chai Baochen that he would have to eat birthday cakes on his birthday in the future. But he was in no hurry to speak. After hearing this, Wang Zhen was very happy and said, "This is a good idea. Very good. ”

When Cao Wei heard this, he couldn't show his incompetence in front of the master, so he turned to look at the officials of the Ministry of Industry and said, "Think about it, big guys, see who can come up with good ideas." ”
