In the evening, several big ships sailed away from Huizhou Port, and Yang Zhouwei, who watched the Taishou, and Zhang Xiangzhong, who were too guarded, let out a long sigh, because it was Chu Haoyu, the seventh prince, Shen Lan, the governor of the capital, Chen Baihan, the waiter of the Chinese book, and Li Tiannian, the head of the household, these high-ranking officials were like boulders pressing on the hearts of the two of them, making them always worried and thinking that they would be able to sleep peacefully tonight, but what they didn't know was that when everyone left, many officials in Jiangnan Province couldn't sleep, and a big drama had just begun.

On the big boat, Chu Haoyu, Shen Lan, Chen Baihan, and Li Tiannian were sitting around the coffee table, and it was Wang Hao who made tea for the four people.

Wang is the top gate valve in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wang Hao, as a descendant of the Wang family, knows all poetry, calligraphy and painting, and also has a deep attainment in the tea ceremony. When the water first boiled and made a gurgling sound, Wang Hao took off the kettle, gently scalded the quilt before putting in the tea leaves, and then poured half a cup of boiling water, and soon the plush and slender Biluochun sank to the bottom of the cup, and the tea leaves were even more small blisters, which looked very gratifying, but at this moment, Wang Hao poured out the water in the cup and added the boiling water again, and handed it to everyone when the tea soup was clear and pure.

Looking at the pure and pure Biluochun, Chu Haoyu showed a look of enjoyment on his face, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know whether he was immersed in the fragrance of tea or fell into memories, and seeing Chu Haoyu holding the teacup, Shen Hao and the three of them picked up the teacup and tasted it.

After tasting it for a while, Chu Haoyu took another sip and praised: "Good tea, good craftsmanship, this king hasn't drunk such good tea for a long time." After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "This trip to Jiangnan, this king rushed to Qi'an day and night, broke through Qi'an and came to Huizhou non-stop, and never even drank a cup of hot tea along the way. ”

Seeing that after Chu Haoyu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and tasted it, Shen Lan, Li Tiannian and Wang Hao were all thinking about the meaning of Chu Haoyu's words, and Chen Baihan, as Chu Haoyu's father-in-law, didn't have so many worries, and said with a smile: "The prince is loyal to the country, and this trip out of Beijing has only been more than a month, and he has lost a lot of weight, and the old minister is ashamed!" ”

Following Chen Baihan's words, Shen Lan opened his mouth and said: "Chen Shilang's sentence is ashamed, but it makes the old minister embarrassed. Laughing self-deprecatingly, Shen Lan continued: "Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, the old minister has been in charge of Jiangnan Province for nearly ten years, and the officials under his rule are corrupt, and the old minister has already heard about it but has done nothing, and he has to worry about the saint and the prince, especially looking at the prince, you are in the dust, the old minister is uneasy." ”

Hearing Shen Lan's words, Chu Haoyu showed a smile on his face, waved his hand to stop Li Tiannian from speaking, shook his head and said, "Uncle Yue and Lord Shen have a split, this king just has a momentary feeling." Jiangnan Province can have today's prosperity, and my Dachu can have today's prosperity, the three of them have made great efforts, especially Lord Li, who has been in charge of the household department for ten years and has been busy every day, so don't say those polite words again. Today, we are not in Beijing, and we don't talk about state affairs, but only Fengyue. ”

Chu Haoyu is the Prince of Great Chu, Chen Baihan is the head of the Chen family, and he is the number two person in Zhongshu Province, Shen Lan is His Majesty's beloved minister in charge of the most prosperous Jiangnan Province, Li Tiannian is in charge of the household department and is the leader of a family, the four of them are all important ministers of the court who really hold great power, and it is difficult to want them to talk about Fengyue without talking about chaotic state affairs! With such a direction in his heart, the corners of Wang Hao's mouth showed a smile, and he was really looking forward to the performance of these important ministers of the court.

Chen Baihan is quite serious on weekdays, but today he is extremely happy for some reason, and when he heard Chu Haoyu's words, he laughed even more, and said to Shen Lan: "Lord Shen, you are wrong this time. The old man was ashamed, just because the little girl didn't know how to make tea. After a pause, Chen Baihan shook his head and said: "The little girl likes to read poetry and books since she was a child, and she is very yearning for Jiangnan where there are many literati and ink writers. ”

Hearing Chen Baihan say this, Wang Hao was a little speechless for a while, and said in his heart that this old man's face is really thick, and not only Wang Hao thinks like this, but also Shen Lan, as for Li Tiannian, he has long been accustomed to Chen Baihan's face, and his face is not thick-skinned, how can he continue to fight in the court?

Shaking his head, Shen Lan showed a funny smile on his face, and said, "Chen Shilang said this, it's really the old man who wants to go wrong, and he should punish himself." After finishing speaking, Shen Lan picked up the teacup and drank it all, causing Li Tiannian to open his mouth and say: "If such a good tea is also punished, the old man should also be punished." While speaking, Li Tiannian also picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Seeing the demeanor of the two, Chu Haoyu laughed, opened his mouth and said: "Lord Li is in charge of the household department is my great Chu's God of Wealth, and Shen Dudu is in charge of Jiangnan Province, the richest Jiangnan Province in the world, and he has such a childlike heart, and I don't know what kind of expression it will be for the ministers to see it?" Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu diverted the topic and asked, "What about Master Li?" Back then, this king was young and careless, and he teased Li Dashao several times, but now he thinks of it and feels very guilty, and today he apologized to Li Shangshu with tea instead of wine. ”

In order to participate in the martial arts test back then, Chu Haoyu pretended to be a little beggar, seeing that Li Chengfeng, the son of the son, was arrogant and arrogant, and he had teased him, but he didn't want to be tricked by Chu Yuanjing in the end, and the trouble in Beijing was known to really make the Li Mansion lose face, and later conquered Mobei, Li Chengfeng's original intention was to mix some military merits and then use the power of the family to enter the office, and he didn't want to be dragged into the Xuanjiawei by Chu Yuanjing and went deep into the grassland, but his body had already been hollowed out by the wine How could he stand the bumps, and let Chu Yuanjing take advantage of military discipline to toss hard, In Xuanjiawei, there was a big scandal among the many meritorious disciples. These things, the reason why Chu Haoyu did not prohibit them, although he was naughty and playful by nature, but after all, he didn't like Li Chengfeng, as for Mo Beida's victory and returned to Beijing, Chu Haoyu personally went to Jiangnan and Henan to send the fallen soldiers back to his hometown, and later took charge of Tianwei every day, and he would have forgotten Li Chengfeng's kind of gentlemanhood a long time ago, if it weren't for today's thinking of the past, Chu Haoyu really couldn't remember Li Chengfeng's kindness, but the gentleman would also change.

Seeing Chu Haoyu pick up the teacup, Li Tiannian hurriedly picked up the teacup, opened his mouth and said: "The prince is polite, speaking of which, the lower officials have to thank the prince." While speaking, Li Tiannian respectfully saluted Chu Haoyu, Mu Ran's face showed a smile, there was no perfunctory, Chu Haoyu could see that he was sincere, and even had a joy that could not be concealed. Suddenly, Chu Haoyu showed an interesting look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Looking at Li Shangshu's expression, you know that Li Dashao is deeply satisfied with Li Shangshu, can you let this king hear it?" After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said: "Don't hide it from Li Shangshu, now this king is also a father, and sometimes he is also a headache caused by a few children, which really fulfills the old saying, if you don't raise children, you don't know your parents' kindness." ”

Chu Haoyu's words Shen Lan, Chen Baihan and Li Tiannian, the three important ministers of the court who were not happy and angry, all laughed, not perfunctory but smiling, it was Wang Hao, who was making tea, who also admired Chu Haoyu's beautiful words in his heart, and easily pulled the topic away, and also attracted everyone's interest.

Looking at Chu Haoyu, the smile on Li Tiannian's face became more and more kind, if Li Chengfeng was here, he would definitely drop his jaw, and at the same time, Li Tiannian looked at Chu Haoyu with a kind of approval, and said slowly: "Listen to the prince's words, the old minister will buy an old one today, the prince, you are really growing up, and you are no longer the naughty and playful seventh master back then." ”

It should be a habit that has been cultivated for decades, the smile on Li Tiannian's face quickly dissipated, and he opened his mouth and said: "When Mobei returned back then, Chengfeng almost lost weight, so that the old minister didn't dare to recognize him, but what surprised the old minister even more was that Chengfeng actually knelt down and begged the old man to enter the Hanlin Academy to study. In the raised voice, Li Tiannian seemed to remember the scene of the day, with a trace of memory on his face, and said slowly: "The old minister couldn't bear to refute him when he saw that his eyes were very firm, and sent him to the Hanlin Academy with a hard and thick face, but he didn't hide it from the prince, the old minister had already made up his mind at that time, if he dared to make a fool of himself in the Hanlin Academy, the old man would send him to his hometown to keep him in captivity for a lifetime. ”

Hearing this, Chu Haoyu also showed a trace of surprise on his face, as if he couldn't believe that Li Chengfeng was so kind of squirrel, he was able to endure the temperament to read the book of the sage, and at this moment, Chen Baihan said with feeling: "The prodigal son will not change his money, and he has been worried for more than 20 years, and we old guys can be relieved." ”

Chen Baihan's sister-in-law Chen Yuanhong and Li Chengfeng are both the four princes of the capital, both of them followed Xuanjiawei into the Mobei grassland, experienced the most brutal battle, and the battle of Mobei made Chen Yuanhong also restrained his temperament a lot, so Li Tiannian and Chen Baihan, who have never been very opposed, have a rare tacit understanding at this moment.

Looking at Chen Baihan, Li Tiannian nodded at him slightly, and said, "It seems that Lord Chen is also deeply touched, and he pities the hearts of parents all over the world." One night, Cheng Feng returned from the Hanlin Academy to find the old man, saying that he had read the sage book for three years and wanted to be a small official for the official. Chengfeng's words startled the old man again, but before the old man could answer, Chengfeng continued, this is the last time he pleaded with the old man, everything will depend on himself in the future, and the road will go on on his own. In the last sentence, Li Tiannian imitated Li Chengfeng's tone, but his state of mind that had been calm for many years as an official was a little sour at the moment. sighed lightly, but Li Tiannian said with a smile: "Chengfeng went to Shannan Road, and now six years have passed and he is a county official, the old man is very comforted, and he should be a big white." ”

The county is only eight grades, and he can't get into everyone's eyes at all, but seeing Li Tiannian's expression, several people can see his heartfelt relief. With a chuckle, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "I didn't expect Li Dashao to have such ambitions, this king admires it, and he should be a big white." While speaking, Chu Haoyu accompanied Li Tiannian to have a drink, and Shen Lan and Chen Baihan also picked up the teacups.

The reason why Li Tiannian said so much today is because he wants to leave a way back for his son Li Tiannian, the seventh prince Chu Haoyu. Hearing Chu Haoyu say this, Li Tiannian showed a smile on his face, looked at Chu Haoyu and said: "Xiao'er can have today's achievements because of the Seventh Prince, so today's old minister will definitely thank the prince and thank the prince." At the same time as speaking, Li Tiannian got up and respectfully saluted Chu Haoyu, and Chu Haoyu, who was watching, hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Li Shangshu killed this king, this king was ignorant back then, don't blame this king, this king is satisfied, as for Li Dashao, it is all his own efforts, sit down quickly." ”

Sitting down, Li Tiannian set his eyes on Chen Baihan, and opened his mouth to ask: "Brother Chen, if the old man is not mistaken, Yuanhong is already the official side of the five grades, right?" ”
