Xie Zheng was invited by Xiao Zhen to go to the Prince's Mansion for tea, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, he happened to meet Duan Hengzhou, he rushed back from outside, carrying a can of wine in his hand, the two met, they both nodded politely, and then entered the gate side by side.

The two entered the door, Xie Zheng looked at the wine in his hand again, and said as if teasing and mocking: "Duan Envoy Jun is busy with official business, and he also has leisure and leisurely drinking, which is really quite elegant." ”

Duan Hengzhou immediately stopped when he heard this, and asked with a surprised face: "Your Excellency recognizes Duan?" ”

Xie Zheng smiled kindly: "I heard Your Highness mention it, Duan Envoy Jun, Your Highness admires you very much." ”

Duan Hengzhou was a little embarrassed, and only asked, "What do you call Your Excellency?" ”

Xie Zheng gave his hand very formally and replied: "I will check Xie Zheng in the next meeting." ”

Duan Hengzhou was quite embarrassed when he saw the situation, and in order to avoid being rude, he hurriedly performed the same etiquette to Xie Zheng, and said, "Duan Hengzhou in Xialiang County." ”

Liang Jun? Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, could this Duan Hengzhou be made friends by Xiao Zhen when he was in Liang County?

"This wine ......" Xie Zheng pointed, and without saying anything more, Duan Hengzhou hurriedly explained: "Xie Langjun misunderstood, this is medicinal wine, and it is used to present it to His Highness." ”

"Medicinal wine?" Xie Zheng was puzzled, Xiao Zhen was strong and strong, and he was not sick, why should he drink medicinal wine, should it be a "body-replenishing" wine?

Just as he was thinking about it, Duan Hengzhou took out a piece of paper from his waist that had been folded several times and handed it to her, saying, "Xie Langjun, please see, this is the recipe." ”

Xie Zheng took a look and saw that the prescription read: "...... Eight coins of ox knee, eight coins of Suoyang, eight coins of actinolite, and a yellow dog kidney...... "She didn't have the eyes to look at it anymore, and randomly folded the recipe a few times and stuffed it into Duan Hengzhou's hand, although she didn't understand pharmacology, but these herbs, just looking at the name, you know that it is not pure.

"His Royal Highness has been busy with official business recently, and he is quite tired, so Duan went to the pharmacy, bought some medicine to nourish his body, and went back to make wine," Duan Hengzhou is simple, and he doesn't know what the effect of this wine is.

Xie Zheng sneered, "Duan Yuanjun really has a heart, and he has found such a big tonic medicine," she was ashamed to speak, and did not say anything, only hinted euphemistically, unexpectedly, Duan Hengzhou's elm head, did not hear the meaning of her words, but nodded with a smile, "Yes, this medicine is a big tonic, if Xie Langjun also wants it, I can borrow your recipe to copy it." ”

"Uh, no need, thank you Duan Envoy Jun for your kindness," Xie Zheng panicked for a while, hurriedly waved his hand at Duan Hengzhou, and then excused himself to leave, and said: "Xie Mou came here today to have tea with His Royal Highness, so he didn't accompany him and said goodbye." ”

After she said that, she hurried to the Xuan Garden.

At that time, Xiao Zhen was sitting in front of the bookcase to write and repair the book, Yin Luo walked to the bookcase and whispered: "Your Highness, Xie Niangzi is here." ”

"Please," Xiao Zheng stopped writing and was talking, Xie Zheng came into the study and said happily: "I heard that His Royal Highness invited me to tea, and Deyin rushed over in a hurry." ”

"Sit down," Xiao Zhen also said with a smile: "Yesterday, my father rewarded a few taels of Pu'er, but I was not willing to drink it, thinking that the first pot of tea I brewed must be to come with you to taste it, so I invited you over." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ordered: "Yin Luo, quickly bring the cake and tea." ”

Yin Luo responded, and immediately went to get the cake and tea, at this time Xiao Zhen had set up a tea stove next to the coffee table, he took the cake and tea from Yin Luo's hand, broke it a little down and grinded it into pieces, and then hung up the teapot on the tea stove, added milk spring water to the pot, added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove, and was about to boil the water, when the porter suddenly came and said: "Your Highness, Pei Shangshu is here." ”

"Please, please," Xiao Zheng said and hurriedly got up to meet the door, at that time Xie Zheng also stood up, Xiao Zhen saw it, and hurriedly smiled and made amends: "It's really unfortunate, the lonely ancestor is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man over seventy years old staggered over with a cane, and as soon as he entered the door, he was about to bow down, Xiao Zhen hurriedly hugged him, and said: "Ancestor Yue, if there is something you want someone to say, call Lone to go over, why bother you to go this trip in person." ”

Pei Feng said meticulously: "As a courtier, how can you transgress the courtesy." ”

"It's all a family, what's wrong with it," Xiao Zhen helped him sit down, and then sat down in front of the coffee table, Pei Feng said: "Your Highness, the old minister came this time to shoot for the left servant." ”

"The position of left servant in Shangshu Province has been vacant for a long time, and Ancestor Yue has this time, but there is a suitable candidate in his heart?"

"First there was Yang Mingzhi overstepping his authority, and now His Majesty has been ignoring this, this matter... The old minister really didn't dare to be hasty. ”

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and asked, "There are no suitable candidates for the left and right men and the waiters below?" Lone remembers that there is a person named Kong Xiuzhi, this person was born in Qufu Confucius, he is a descendant of the sages, and his talents and conduct are all superior. ”

"His Royal Highness is reasonable, it's just ......" Pei Fengzhi said this, suddenly swallowed and spoke, lowered his head and raised his eyes from time to time to peek at Xiao Zhen a few times, Xiao Zhen saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and simply asked: "Just what?" Yue Zu said that it was okay. ”

"It's just that the position of the left servant is not trivial, and the old minister is worried that others will not be able to do it, besides... The left is up, the right is down, now the left servant shoots a vacancy, and the right servant shoots is still in office, if you want to fill the vacancy, you should be transferred by the right servant, and you should not directly promote your subordinates......"

Xiao Xun saw Pei Fengzhi's gaze dodging, and knew that he dared to speak after careful consideration, "You mean Gu Xun?" ”

Xie Zheng and Yin Luo stood behind Xiao Zhen, and when they heard Gu Qilang, they couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhen twice.

Pei Fengzhi didn't dare to answer when he heard this, he just lowered his head, Xiao Zhen smiled, and said: "Lone has always known people well, distinguishing between public and private, and will never bury talents for the personal grievances of the past. ”

"However, the old minister received the order, and the old minister will make a statement to His Majesty tomorrow to report the matter, and the old minister will retire," said Pei Fengzhi, and got up to leave.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xiao Zhen immediately got up and stopped him, "Ancestor! Don't go to see Hui Zhao? ”

"Megumaki?" Speaking of Pei Huizhao, the granddaughter of his in-laws, Pei Fengzhi sighed lightly, and then shook his head, as if he was disappointed and helpless, he only said: "No, the old minister still has important matters to do, so he will retire first." ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and instructed Yin Luo: "Yin Luo, you go and send Pei Shangshu." ”

Xie Zheng saw Pei Fengzhi's expression, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, Pei Huizhao has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is fine, thinking about the past, Pei Fengzhi was proud every time he talked about his granddaughter with others, why is it now...... Could it be ......

"Deyin."

Xiao Zhen's call brought back Xie Zheng's thoughts that he had already followed Pei Fengzhi away, and Xiao Zhen asked: "What do you think of Shangshu Zuocheng's position?" ”

"Your Highness is wise, and there is a candidate for Deyin at the moment, but I don't know if His Highness likes it."

"Who is it?"

"Duan Hengzhou."

"Duan Hengzhou?"

Xie Zheng asked rhetorically: "Doesn't His Highness appreciate him very much?" ”

"Duan Hengzhou is very talented, and the only deficiency is that he is too honest and honest, and he is not good at power and magic."

"It's because he's not good at power and magic that he can be used by His Highness," Xie Zheng said.

Xiao Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Duan Hengzhou was born in a poor family, if you want to recommend him to appoint Shangshu Zuocheng, it is not easy to think about it, Cheng and Lang are easy to say, but with Duan Hengzhou's knowledge, I am afraid that he will have to give in...... Let's try it tomorrow. ”

Before the words fell, they suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door, Xiao Zhen and Xie Zheng looked at the door together, only to see Yang Gengxiu standing there with Duan Hengzhou's medicinal wine, Xie Zheng knew the origin of the wine, so he was naturally very vigilant.

Yang Gengxiu walked into the study and said to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, this is the medicinal wine that Heng Duanzhou has dedicated to you. ”

"Medicinal wine?" Xiao Zhen was only stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "Let it go, you retreat." ”

Yang Gengxiu glanced at Xie Zheng, then looked at Xiao Zheng again, and then retreated.
