The Imperial Study.

The emperor raised his head, looked at Yu Chengqi who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Mu Zhengyi has already gone to King Yi's Mansion."

"Yes," Yu Chengqi replied, "Back to Your Majesty's words, the queen mother has already urged him a few days ago, so the minister did not dare to continue to delay, so he was directly sent over today." ”

"I see." The emperor nodded, his expression calm, as if he didn't care much about Mu Zhengyi's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty," seeing that the master was so calm, Yu Chengqi was a little unsure, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to ask, "Look, do you want to find an excuse to transfer Mu Zhengyi back in a few days, and put him on an errand in the Chongzheng Palace, if he is placed on an errand in the Chongzheng Palace, whether it is the queen or the two princes, they will definitely not dare to ask for someone again." ”

"Don't worry about it." The emperor shook his head: "Let them toss." ”

"But" Yu Chengqi looked a little hesitant, "After all, that is the eldest prince of the Anguo Mansion, a serious northern border general, put him on the Yiwang Mansion, it's not good, the Mu family has a tiger talisman." The"

"There's no need to interfere right now." The emperor chuckled, "Look at it first." Little Five and Little Six, whoever becomes the touchstone in the future, and who finally ascends to that position, will depend on their own ability, if I interfere in everything now, where will they grow. The one left behind in the future will take on the responsibility of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he can't even suppress his brother, how can he be a big responsibility. ”

"Yes," Yu Chengqi bowed his head and replied.

"Besides, the Mu family is not so stupid," the emperor chuckled, "Where is the need for me to interfere, they themselves must know how to avoid suspicion." In these matters, the Anguo Mansion has always been measured, and I never need to worry too much. ”

"I know." Yu Chengqi nodded, and was about to retire and leave, when he was suddenly stopped by the emperor again.

"Also," the emperor raised his head, "If the queen wants to interfere in the selection of the Jinwei of the Xinwang Mansion, you don't have to interfere, just do it." ”

"The queen has already mentioned it today," Yu Chengqi replied, "Since Your Majesty has shown it, the minister will arrange it according to the mother's wishes when he returns." ”

"She plans to install a few of her people in the Little Five Mansions" The emperor looked at the music on the table again, and asked without raising his head.

"Five." Yu Chengqi replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, before these people send the letter to the palace, the ministers will explain to them, just like before, no matter what the queen orders, they will follow it directly, and they don't need to ask for instructions first." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded: "You still let me rest assured that you are doing things." Sincerely, you've been with me for so many years, do you think I'm biased?"

"Emperor" Yu Chengqi showed a little embarrassment on his face, he really didn't know how to answer this question.

"What don't you dare to say," the emperor raised his head and looked at Yu Chengqi with a little amusement, "Could it be that if you don't answer well, I will punish you?"

"The emperor laughed," Yu Chengqi shook his head, "It's just that the minister doesn't know how to answer." ”

"If you don't know how to answer, then tell the truth," said the emperor, "you should know that I have always been afraid to listen to the truth. ”

"Then the minister said it directly." Yu Chengqi lowered his head, "If you want the ministers to come and see, the emperor should not be an eccentric person." King Xin and King Yi have their own strengths, but they are both talented and worthy of great responsibilities, and the minister knows that the emperor values the two princes equally much, and he should be unbiased. But"

Yu Cheng waited for a long time, and he didn't say one, two, three, and showed an embarrassed and tangled look on his face. The emperor looked at his face and laughed instead.

"Seeing that you are so embarrassed, why don't I come and say it for you," the emperor said with a smile, "You think I shouldn't be a partial, but you think that I really did something partial, right, I watched the queen stretch out her hand to Xiao Jinwei, and I haven't interfered for so many years, the queen's people are the people of King Yi, so you think it's not fair for me to treat Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, right?"

"Your Majesty." Yu Chengqi, who was guessed to be thinking, smiled, "Chen's thoughts, I really can't hide it from you." ”

"It's not me Shengming, it's your mind that's too easy to guess." The emperor couldn't help but shake his head, "Chengqi, you have followed me all these years, and you are indeed loyal, but you are an upright person after all, and you have been up and down in the palace over the years, and you have indeed become a lot smoother and more transparent than before, and you have also increased a lot of hearts, but you still haven't changed in your bones, and you are still a tendon to the end." ”

"It's a lot better than it was in earlier years." Yu Chengqi heard the emperor comment on him like this, but laughed.

"It's a lot better." The emperor smiled and nodded, "At least I can understand now, I shouldn't be a partial." You're right. I am indeed impartial to these two sons, the queen is partial to Xiaoliu, where I am indulging her, it is obviously lazy. She has been spoiled by me for all these years, and I don't know if she can be played by a disgraced Concubine Wen with her brain, and it would be good not to help Xiaoliu. ”

"But the emperor," Yu Chengqi replied, "not to mention, the queen's mother is the person of King Yi, and King Yi is a smart person." Your Majesty, you don't have to ask what you mean, just follow the queen's orders, and let them be used by the king of Yi. ”

"But after all, they are not really the people of the queen and the king of Yi," replied the emperor, "they obey the orders of the queen and the king of Yi, and they will not hide anything from you or me." As long as I want to take care of it, I can interfere at any time. Cheng Qi, don't think that Xiao Liu is taking advantage of Xiao Jinwei with a few Xiao Jinwei who can do things, according to me, not casually reaching out to Xiao Jinwei is exactly Xiao Wu's cleverness. At this point, Xiao Liu is not as calm as his fifth brother. ”

"According to the minister, no one is as calm as the emperor." Yu Chengqi couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Chengqi originally sighed casually, but he didn't expect the emperor to nod in agreement when he heard this, and replied very seriously, "Yes, no one is as calm as me, so I finally sat on this dragon chair." ”

"The princes are only eighteen years old, and they have just entered the court," Yu Chengqi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are in the prime of spring and autumn, and you have a lot of time to teach well." ”

"There are some things that can't be learned by relying on my teaching, and this dragon chair is not so easy to sit on." The emperor shook his head and replied, "In the future, only one person from Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu can go to this position, no matter who it is, if they want to be a qualified king and guard the country and society of my Great Zhou, they still have a lot to learn, and they must hone it themselves." ”
