Huo Sijin pinched a handful of sweat in her palms, should she tell the truth?

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Sijin said: "I heard someone talk about it by chance, and I heard that Master Karma is a high-ranking monk, but he is not often seen by outsiders, so I am curious. ”

She said it in a vague way, and she didn't mention who told her.

But he didn't want to, Chu Zheng didn't continue to ask, but said lightly: "The master has passed away a few days ago. There was a lot of regret and regret in his tone, and there was a hint of shame in his heart.

The death of Master Karaisha is inextricably linked to him.

"Yes, the master has passed away, so Changjin can only go to the master's tombstone to pay respects." Huo Sijin changed the topic without a trace, "To Changjin's surprise, he actually met Tianxing here. Today is the morning sun, how can Tianxing be here? ”

Counting the time, it should be not long after the early dynasty, and there is still some distance from the palace to Puyin Temple, even if it is the next dynasty, it should not be able to rush here.

And Chu Zheng appeared here, there is only one possibility, he did not participate in today's early dynasty.

Thinking of this, Huo Sijin's face changed slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Zheng is the crown prince and the prince of a country, unless he has something important to do, it is impossible not to participate in the early dynasty. Of course, there is another possibility, the emperor was annoyed with the crown prince and did not allow him to go to court.

Recently, nothing is so important that Chu Zheng is flawless, so there is only one possibility left - Chu Zheng was ordered not to go to court.

The crown prince is the crown prince after all, and even if there is a mistake, the emperor cannot easily punish him. was ordered not to go to court, it must not be an ordinary trivial matter, so Huo Sijin was not nervous.

Compared with Huo Sijin's nervousness, Chu Zheng was understated, his expression was light, "Cheng Enhou bit the military salary account of the border pass, and the palace was too lazy to look at people's eyes, so he simply asked to leave the court." ”

"Didn't His Majesty order His Highness to leave?" Huo Sijin asked.

Chu Zheng shook his head, "After all, this palace is the crown prince, and without evidence, my father will not do this." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded thoughtfully, "That's good." ”

The crown prince is the crown prince after all, if he is asked to leave the court temporarily because of an unfounded matter, if the emperor really does this, it is equivalent to sending a signal: the prince has fallen out of favor.

Unless the emperor has already abolished the prince, it will never make people feel that the prince has fallen out of favor.

"Tianxing has his own arrogant backbone, but His Majesty attaches great importance to face, and Tianxing is only a day or two away for a while, and the time should not be too long." Huo Sijin knew Chu Zheng's temperament, and at the end, he couldn't help but admonish.

The prince can have a temperament, but he needs to have a temper. In all fairness, Chu Zheng's ability and achievements are definitely above all the princes, which is enough to impress the hundreds of officials in the court, but his temperament is too rigid, coupled with the provocation of people with intentions, the officials' impression of Chu Zheng has more words like indifference and violence.

As long as Chu Zheng pays a little attention to his words and deeds, it is not difficult to erase such words.

"The matter of the military salary at the border pass, Cheng Enhou will inevitably bite it, and the father and emperor also have doubts in his heart, although he has not agreed yet, but he will soon call the palace back to the court, and at the same time order someone to go to the border to check the accounts, when the time comes, it is impossible for the palace to leave."

The emperor is already suspicious, and the accounts of the border pass will definitely be checked, but the emperor will not let people think that the prince will fall out of favor because of this, in order to balance the court situation, or the emperor really favors the prince, the emperor will order the prince to return to the court, and treat it normally every day.

Huo Sijin nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that everything is under the control of Tianxing." ”

Obviously, Chu Zheng had already prepared.

"Changjin also has a proposal, Tianxing can ask Your Majesty for an order, please Your Majesty investigate this matter thoroughly, and return your innocence."

The emperor was suspicious of Chu Zheng, which was not a good thing after all.

"Not necessarily." Chu Zheng refused.

Huo Sijin raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zheng, "Why?" ”

Although this cannot completely eliminate His Majesty's suspicions, it at least shows Chu Zheng's attitude, the breeze and the moon are all in one, not stained with dirt, and the clean ones are self-purifying.

"Hongu doesn't like it."

The four words instantly made Huo Sijin swallow back the words he was about to say, yes, Chu Zheng's temperament is like this, he doesn't like hypocrisy and wrongdoing.

Huo Sijin remembered his previous life, Chu Li exposed Chu Zheng in the court to use military pay to return to Yi, at that time Chu Zheng was standing in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, although he was "crusaded" by hundreds of officials, but his expression did not change, his spine was not bent, he only nodded his head, and admitted the matter of returning to Yi, but he did not admit that he had done wrong, let alone explain anything.

And what Huo Sijin was thinking at that time, in all fairness, there were indeed many drawbacks in the border pass, but in the case of an empty treasury and continuous wars at the border pass, the border pass back to Yi did solve the problem of military needs, and the border pass was safe and sound for so many years, and the return to Yi played a great role.

If Chu Zheng had distinguished himself at that time, it would have been impossible to turn defeat into victory.

It was only today that Huo Sijin suddenly understood that because he was Chu Zheng, an arrogant and upright Chu Zheng, he didn't explain or distinguish. In his eyes, explanations are the most unnecessary thing.

This temperament, let Huo Sijin say what?

This temperament is very admirable, but it is easy to suffer.

"Tianxing, you have been away from Beijing for many years, so that the power of the court is not very deep, do you feel ...... Regretful. Huo Sijin originally wanted to say that he was wronged, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his mouth again, and Chu Zheng probably didn't like to describe the word grievance to himself.

Chu Zheng shook his head, "There are no regrets, this palace has been in the border for more than ten years and has been doing well." ”

Huo Sijin's eyes kept falling on Chu Zheng, and she didn't leave for a moment, she could see that Chu Zheng couldn't be awkward when he said this, he really thought that more than ten years at the border were very good.

"Tianxing is an iron-clad man, galloping across the field and flying wantonly, which is naturally good. But in Changjin's view, Tianxing is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he can calm the world on the horse, and he can also set the situation when he puts pen to paper, whether it is leading troops to fight on the battlefield at the border pass, or governing the officials and people in the world, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, it can be done in Tianxing. ”

Huo Sijin paused, and then said: "If you don't go to the border, you can not only do what you want to do, but also sit firmly in the position of the prince, and no one dares to compete with you." ”

According to Chu Zheng's wrist, if he hadn't been sent to the border since he was a child, where would there be other princes in the court who would dare to fight with him. Whether it is Chu Heng or Chu Li, they dare to stumble Chu Zheng openly and secretly, but they are just relying on the accumulation of more than ten years in the court.

And the reason why Chu Zheng was sent to the border was actually because of Empress Xie of the Yuan Dynasty.

Huo Sijin couldn't help but sigh, "If Empress Yuan's mother is still here, you won't be sent to the border for more than ten years." ”

She only regretted that if Empress Xie was still there, or even if she lived a few more years, the current court would never be what it is now.

"Even if the queen mother is still there, she will let the palace leave the capital." Chu Zheng touched the jade pendant on his waist and said lightly.

The jade pendant was given to him by Empress Xie, and he stayed by his side and never took it off.

Huo Sijin's eyes were stunned, "Empress Yuan is the wife of His Majesty who has worked so hard to marry, how can His Majesty be ......?"

Empress Xie Lingguan was born in a high family, with a blue heart, both talent and appearance, and was known as the first beauty in Southern Chu. Emperor Chu Fu, who was still a prince at the time, fell in love with Xie Lingguan at first sight and decided not to marry. But at that time, Chu Fu was not the crown prince, and the former emperor had the intention to make the Xie family daughter the crown princess, and it was not easy for Chu Fu to marry Xie Lingguan. Chu Fu didn't know how many times he begged the first emperor, until later the first prince also knelt down and begged the emperor, although the Xie family is good, but Xie Lingguan is not the only one in the world who is a good woman, since his younger brother likes it, let him get his wish.

With the first prince's plea, the first emperor nodded. Chu Fu happily married Xie Lingguan into the door, so unhappy. For a time, it was rumored to be a good story.

Empress Xie was beautiful and graceful, she died early, and the emperor was also very sad, and in the year of her death, the emperor cried in front of people more than once.

Although Huo Sijin knew how affectionate the royal children were, she always felt that the emperor had truly loved Empress Xie, but listening to Chu Zheng's meaning today, even this is fake?

"Even though the mountains and seas swore at the beginning, they did not regret it, but later the times passed, and some things have already changed." A sneer appeared on the corner of Chu Zheng's lips......
