Chapter 294: The human heart is unpredictable

readx;

Zhou Tai saw that Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao had a gossip that didn't match, and the content they talked about was neither a matter of care, nor a major event that happened in the government and the opposition, and occasionally broke out a few foul words, and ...... And...... Often this Liu Chengfeng bursts out more, Zhu Houzhao obviously does not have so many tricks as Liu Chengfeng, sometimes his face is swollen, and he is about to get angry, but the next moment, he is smiling and compensating Liu Chengfeng.

Such a scene really made Zhou Tai feel weird, at least in his concept, as a courtier, he actually dared to spit filthy words in front of the prince, and he was so polite, it was really a bit rebellious, but the fact was right in front of him, so he had to believe it.

He didn't have such courage, he felt that if he listened to it any longer, his heart couldn't help but jump out, so he hurriedly stood up and got up to say goodbye.

Zhu Houzhao didn't recognize him, and obviously didn't have much interest in him, but Liu Chengfeng realized that Zhou Tai was snubbed, heard that he was leaving, and knew the embarrassment of his situation, so he sent him out and sent him to the middle gate, not forgetting to tell him: "The affairs of Shuntianfu, don't be in a hurry, slowly adapt to it, first see what others do, and wait until you have a plan in your heart, and you are not afraid of the dictatorship of Nafu Yin." ”

Zhou Tai nodded, and looked at Liu Chengfeng gratefully, at this time in his heart, he couldn't help but have a little confidence, just saw the relationship between the prince and Liu Chengfeng, although he was shocked, but in hindsight, the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and the palace was only afraid that it was more intimate than he imagined, don't look at the current Lianzhou Hou Grandma is not painful, uncle is not loved, but the future is unlimited.

He waved towards Liu Chengfeng and said: "Hou Ye should go back to entertain His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to send it far, Hou Ye's words, the lower officials will always keep it in mind, Hou Ye rest assured." ”

After that, he sat in the small sedan chair that had been waiting outside for a long time, put down the roller shutter and left.

Liu Chengfeng watched Zhou Tai's sedan chair leave and returned to the flower hall, but saw Wen Chenruo listening to this Zhu Houzhao with his chin cocked, Liu Chengfeng saw it, and was displeased, but how did this little sister-in-law come, Zhu Houzhao is not a good bird, don't be blinded by this guy.

Liu Chengfeng coughed deliberately, Wen Chenruo smiled at Liu Chengfeng, and called crisply: "Brother-in-law." ”

Liu Chengfeng walked in square steps, nodded at Wen Chenruo, and said, "What?" And what is the prince talking about? ”

Wen Chenruo said: "I'm talking about Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Princess...... Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and stopped asking.

Then he began to ask about Zhu Houzhao's recent knowledge, Zhu Houzhao answered honestly, with a sad face, Liu Chengfeng already knew that there would be such an ending, and said: "From Ming Yue, write me an article every day, how about it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was actually a little afraid of Liu Chengfeng, and when he heard that Liu Chengfeng would not pursue it, he naturally agreed happily.

Liu Chengfeng frowned and said, "Your Highness, why hasn't there been any movement in the palace these days, have you heard any rumors?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "There is a rumor, saying that when you just returned to Beijing, your father planned to summon you, and said that he would give you the position of a thousand households, but some people say that this thousand households are the key to the Beijing division, and the most important thing is that you need to find a stable person to take on it, and ...... He also said that the master is still young and still needs to be sharpened. Father listened, although he defended you a few words, but there was a little hesitation in his heart, it seemed that he still had doubts, yesterday, he summoned Liu Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao and others to inquire, it is said that Liu Ge Lao is not very supportive, although Li Ge Lao did not speak, but he somewhat hoped that the master would be the thousand households of this thousand households, but this matter, it was also heard by Liu Companion, and the palace was not very clear. ”

Key...... Liu Chengfeng immediately understood that the so-called key point was the Thousand Households of the Inner East City, and the reason why the Thousand Households of the Inner East City was so important was that the jurisdiction of the Inner East City included the entrances and exits of the Forbidden City, and many royal institutions and the yamen of the imperial court were located there, and more importantly, the Thousand Households of the Inner East City also had the authority to inquire about the Han generals.

The Han generals are the guards in the Forbidden City, the Han generals entered the palace, and they were naturally dispatched by the palace, but the Han generals were not resident in the inner palace, three shifts, only four hours a day in the palace, and after four hours, they had to take turns out of the palace, and after leaving the palace, it was the inner East City thousand households to govern, so although the Han generals were subordinate to the Jinyi Guard, they actually had two superiors, one was the inner Dongcheng Qianhu, and the other was the commander of the Shangzhiwei pro-army, and at the same time, the Han generals also had leaders and officials.

Only this one, the thousand households in the Inner East City are a bit unbelievable, which is equivalent to one of the institutions of the internal guard, responsible for guarding the security of the Forbidden City, and every move is concerned.

That's why someone will blow the wind to the emperor, saying that Liu Chengfeng is not suitable for serving as a thousand households in the inner East City, after all, the thousands of households in the inner East City are too big, and Liu Chengfeng is a guy, the reason put forward by the opponents is not very reliable, the so-called no hair on the mouth is not firm, plus Liu Chengfeng has always been reckless in doing things, how can such a person let him take up this most important position?

When Liu Chengfeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, in fact, the thousands of households in the Inner East City seemed to be hot in others, but in his Liu Chengfeng's opinion, he might not want to fight for it.

Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Chengfeng's indifferent look, and couldn't help but say, "Master, why aren't you angry?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Why is Master angry? ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Of course Master should be angry, there are villains who say bad things about Master, doesn't Master want to know who it is?" ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head: "I don't want to." ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to tell this villain, but Liu Chengfeng didn't want to hear it, but he couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "Why don't you want to?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "The person who can say these words in front of the emperor is at least a minister trusted by the emperor, ranking above the third grade, such a person has said bad things about me, and I can't clean him up, what can I do if I know his name, I can only increase the annoyance, and besides, what is this inner Dongcheng Qianhu, I am not rare!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless, so he had to say: "Actually, this time the palace came, and I heard some rumors. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "What wind?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The eunuch Xiao Jing Xiao seems to strongly recommend the master to be the thousand households in this inner eastern city, and he has spoken well for you in front of his father several times." ”

Liu Chengfeng listened to Zhu Houzhao's words, and couldn't help frowning, what does this Xiao Jing mean, why do you recommend yourself? Although he and Xiao Jing have no grudges, they have always been their own masters, and they are in a competitive relationship, the last time in Beitongzhou, Liu Chengfeng put the Dongchang together, Liu Chengfeng absolutely did not believe that Xiao Jing would be so kind, regardless of the previous suspicions, he said good things for himself, and wanted to lift himself to the position of a thousand households in the inner East City.

Because there is an unwritten rule within this Jinyiwei, but anyone who has served as a thousand households in the Inner East City, as long as there is no mistake, will be promoted to the Jinyi Wei after three or five years, it can be said that once assigned to the Inner East City, it indicates that Liu Chengfeng has one foot into the core of the Jinyi Guard, think about it, Liu Chengfeng is a hundred households, when it is a thousand households, it will give Dongchang a headache, if it can go further, does this Dongchang still use mixing? Xiao Jing definitely didn't want this to happen, but why, he was so impatient to invite himself into the Inner East City.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Liu Chengfeng: "That Gonggong Xiao is actually not happy in this palace, isn't he always right with the master?" Presumably, there must be some conspiracy behind this, Master should be careful. ”

Liu Chengfeng immediately pursed his lips, stunned and stunned, but he couldn't show it in front of Zhu Houzhao, listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but say: "Why, the prince also knows about Gonggong Xiao and being a teacher?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a straight face: "This is what Liu Banban and Bengong said, Liu Banban said that Xiao Jinglao is a difficult master." ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this Jingshi is really complicated, he is in office, but he has touched the hearts of so many people, the attitude of the cabinet is ambiguous, and I don't know who in the court is saying bad things about himself in front of the emperor, but Xiao Jing is fully supportive, I never thought that in an inconspicuous corner, in the East Palace, then Liu Jin also took the opportunity to make trouble, what is the intention of this Liu Jin to say so many things to Zhu Houzhao Liu Chengfeng doesn't know, Liu Chengfeng only knows that this Liu Jin must have other plans, It is said that Liu Jin is still Xiao Jing's favorite, and specially recommended Liu Jin to go to the East Palace, and now Liu Jin is doing this, it seems that he is making preparations to replace Xiao Jing.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the big eunuch in each palace is generally the eunuch closest to the emperor, although Liu Jin is only a small companion in the East Palace, I am afraid that at this time, he is already ambitious, and his goal is obviously to appreciate and protect his own Xiao Jing.

People's hearts are really unpredictable...... Liu Chengfeng wanted to tell Zhu Houzhao to be careful of Liu Jin's rotten ** thing, but then he thought about it, don't look at Zhu Houzhao's usual yelling at Liu Jin, this Liu Jin grew up watching Zhu Houzhao after all, and the relationship for so many years is not deep, and now saying this by himself will only have the opposite effect, and he can only take one step at a time.

Liu Chengfeng turned over the river and the sea in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Royal Highness and Liu Companion have misunderstood, in fact, the teacher and Father-in-law Xiao are not to the point of tension, Father-in-law Xiao is working for the emperor, and serving for the teacher is also serving the emperor, but the methods of our service are different, and it is not up to anyone to play tricks." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it, thought about it, and said: "Yesterday, the two uncles of the palace came, saying that they invited us to eat and drink in a few days, but the master can remember to go, the news in the capital, the palace can't find anything, but the two uncles of the palace seem to be able to inquire about a lot of things, and when the time comes, take the opportunity to go to the banquet, the master can ask them." ”
