Chapter 166: Errand

In the days that followed, Mu Zhengyi's errand in King Yi's Mansion should be serious and not serious.

Seriously, as long as he goes to the Yiwang Mansion to be on duty, he will never be perfunctory, the Liupinyun Cavalry Captain and the ordinary guards are on an errand together, and he will do whatever others do, and he even stood in front of the gate of the Yiwang Mansion Minggang.

Of course, Zheng Jin, the king of Yi, didn't want to summon Mu Zhengyi like this, he treated Mu Zhengyi very well, every time he saw Mu Zhengyi come to the Yiwang Mansion on a business, he could always find all kinds of excuses to invite Mu Zhengyi to tea, play chess, and even chat.

But Mu Zhengyi seems to be a little unproductive, his attitude towards Zheng Jin has never changed, he is polite and polite, but he is distant, this attitude is like a subordinate to a superior, but not like a guard to his master.

Mu Zhengyi will obey Zheng Jin's orders, drink tea with him, and play chess with him. Zheng Jin could feel that when Mu Zhengyi was in the Yiwang Mansion, he was very serious in everything he did, so serious that even drinking a cup of tea in front of him looked like he was on business.

Zheng Jin actually understood in his heart that Mu Zhengyi was telling him that he, a border general, did not intend to cultivate any private friendship with Zheng Jin, the prince, everything was official, and Mu Zhengyi was just acting according to orders during his errand in King Yi's mansion.

Zheng Jin knew, but he didn't mind Mu Zhengyi's attitude. As always, every time he saw Mu Zhengyi on a business trip, he gently invited him to have a cup of tea and a few words.

Of course, Zheng Jin and Mu Zhengyi "chatted" mostly Zheng Jin was talking, and Mu Zhengyi was just listening. Zheng Jin understood that Mu Zhengyi was reluctant to say more in front of him, and he was never reluctant.

Most of the time, Zheng Jin just chatted casually in front of Mu Zhengyi, with a relaxed attitude. Sometimes he talks about trivial things in the palace, like a good son who is filial, he talks about his mother, and sometimes he talks about his favorite Miss Xie like an ordinary young man who knows Shaoai.

Occasionally, he would take the initiative to talk about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but not many times. Most of the government affairs he took the initiative to mention to Mu Zhengyi were related to the military department and the northern border, and he occasionally asked Mu Zhengyi's opinion on the affairs of the military department or the northern border.

When it comes to government affairs, Mu Zhengyi never takes the initiative to speak, but if Zheng Jin asks, he will usually answer seriously. But in fact, Zheng Jin and Mu Zhengyi both know that these so-called "views and suggestions" are the same whether Mu Zhengyi says it or not. Mu Zhengyi's attitude is the attitude of the Anguo Mansion, and Mu Zhengyi's views on northern affairs are all Mu generals' views on the northern border.

These are all written in the notes of An Guogong and Mu Jingluo to the emperor, and it is not a secret.

One more than one question, one more than one answer. But this kind of tea "chatting" and meaningless Q&A are like an interesting game for Zheng Jin, and he enjoys it.

Of course, Mu Zhengyi will not hide all this from his family, and in this regard, Mrs. Mu's opinion has always been the same: "Let him toss, ignore him." ”

And Mu Hongsheng can worry as always, probably really influenced by Xie Shurou, after Mu Zhengyi went to the Yiwang Mansion on a business, Mu Hongsheng seemed to be more vigilant about Zheng Jin, and nagged Mu Zhengyi a few times every other day, asking him to be careful in everything.

And the Duchess of An Guo and the rest of Mrs. Mu are extremely busy these days. After all, Mu Zhengyi is currently on duty in Xiaojinwei, and the ladies are probably afraid that the queen will find an excuse to send the daughter of the clan to Mu Zhengyi, so these days, they are busy looking at the girl everywhere.

That's why it is said that Mu Zhengyi's errand in King Yi's Mansion should be serious and not serious. He was very serious when he went on a business trip, yes, but he really asked for a lot of leave, and he had to ask for leave every once in a while to go out on a blind date.

Mu Zhengyi has been on an errand in Yiwang's Mansion for almost two months, but when he counts it, the days of serious errands are only about ten days, and he spends most of his time asking for leave.

These days, there is nothing big about the DPRK and China. On 20 August, the head of the Qin mission of the Lao army finally returned to Beijing, but An Guogong's recital had already been placed on the emperor's imperial case three days earlier.

Mu Chengyi, the Duke of Anguo, and Mu Chengfang, the envoy of the Northern Border, united to detain Qincha and despise the Son of Heaven, and the emperor only issued an order to reprimand a few words without pain, and each of them was fined a month's salary, which could not be more perfunctory.

However, the Qin chief was unlucky, and he was dismissed from his post not long after, and he also brought Zhou Shangshu, an official of the military department, to be reprimanded by the emperor.

Zhou Shangshu can be called stealing chickens and rice this time. He is sophisticated, not confused, and he naturally knows who is who is wrong in this matter, so he did not dare to resent An Guogong regardless of the detention of Qin Cha and tore his face, but personally wrote a letter to the north to apologize to An Guogong and Mu Jingluo.

Of course, Zhou Shangshu also emphasized in the letter that he did not know what Lord Qin was doing in the north, and he was also kept in the dark. In short, in addition to the pot of unknown people and poor employment, Zhou Shangshu is very capable of pushing away the other culprits.

Of course, Zhou Shangshu didn't dare to resent Xie Xiang who helped An Guogong deliver the music. He knew very well that if he was Xie Xiang, he would also help hand over the song. As a prime minister, if he gets the urgent report of the northern military situation in his hands, it will be a real dereliction of duty. If Li Xiang is still good at discussing, but he, the secretary of the military department, does not have that friendship with Xie Xiang, Xie Xiang will never be able to take this responsibility for him.

He just didn't expect that An Guogong would leave no room for doing things, and he took so many copies in one go, and asked people to hand them around. Zhou Shangshu is just glad now, glad that when the Ministry of War received Mu Zhengyi's delivery of the Song Shu from the Ministry of War in accordance with the procedure, although he had already decided to suppress it, but when he went to court on the second day, he still had an extra heart to take the Song Shu with him.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Xie Xiang take out the note, Zhou Shangshu immediately handed over the note delivered by Mu Zhengyi from the military department, so he did not bear the charge of dereliction of duty, but was reprimanded by the emperor just because of poor employment, and lost some face.

The emperor reprimanded a few words, after all, it didn't hurt or itch, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones. At present, the situation is delicate, and Zhou Shangshu's attitude towards things has not changed, he still can delay as much as he can, more things are better than less things, and less work will naturally take less responsibility.

Until now, Zhou Shangshu still feels that he is right. Because as he expected, the affairs of the northern border were extremely troublesome, and every suggestion made by An Guogong and Mu Jingluo in the song needed to be supported by white flowers. Zhou Shangshu is not a household official, but he also roughly calculated, if everything is done according to An Guogong's wishes, then the treasury will not have to be emptied of half of the household department and Lin Xiangneng will be willing to see the hell
