Jiang Deshen turned his head to look at the other party, and called in a stiff tone, "Lord Duanmu." ”

Duanmuxian stood just two steps away from Jiang Deshen, smiling slightly, looking graceful and elegant, and the person was also slightly fat, and he was full of energy.

Since Duanmuxian's stroke in mid-July, he has been closed for a full month, and many courtiers have speculated that Duanmuxian's body is not so bad, I'm afraid it is not so good.

But now it seems that Duanmuxian's old thing is good!

This old fox! Jiang Deshen muttered to himself in his heart, having a bad premonition.

Duanmu Xian looked at Jiang Deshen with a smile and asked, "Master Jiang, what are you doing here?" ”

Jiang Deshen didn't believe that Duanmuxian didn't know about the death of the third prince, but since the other party asked, he was not afraid to repeat it again.

However, Duanmu Xian didn't intend to give Jiang Deshen a chance to speak, and scolded before him: "What kind of body are you kneeling here like this!" ”

"You are the maternal grandfather of the third prince, the third prince died young, you are grief-stricken, and the official is understandable."

"However, no matter what you say, you are also an official of the imperial court, not an ignorant woman and child, don't make trouble here!"

"No one said that the cause of the death of the third prince should not be investigated, right? The local government is already investigating, do you still have to report to Lord Jiang in every detail? ”

"Hey, Lord Jiang, if you are really so worried, why didn't you follow the third prince to Lingnan in the first place?"

"Although the third prince is dead now, but his family is not dead, and he still has to go to Lingnan, do you want Lord Jiang to 'go on the road' together?"

Duanmuxian deliberately increased the volume on the word "on the road", which made people feel that he used the word meaningfully, as if he was on Huangquan Road.

When it comes to playing tricks, Duanmu Xianke has never lost anyone, and his crackling at Jiang Deshen is a bombardment, saying that Jiang Deshen has no room to interject at all, his face is flushed, and the blue tendons on his forehead appear and disappear from time to time.

"Lord Duanmu, you are too deceitful!" Jiang Deshen gritted his teeth and said, anger surging under his skin, "Xia Guan is just asking for the life of the three princes who died unjustly." ”

"How much do I deceive? Isn't it an adult who is 'kneeling' here? Duanmu Xian hooked his lips mockingly, "Isn't the adult trying to rely on himself to be an old minister, so he wants to sell the old with the old?" Jiang Daren Gui Geng? If you're really so old, it's better to be a good one. ”

"Lord Duanmu is really clever!" Jiang Deshen's voice was so cold that he almost fell out of the ice slag, and his waist was straight, "Xia Guan He once said that he was going to be a scholar!" Xia Guan just wants to see the regent and ask him to return to the three princes to understand! ”

"It seems that Lord Jiang is determined not to leave!" Duanmu Xian shook his head with a sigh and slowly stroked his sleeve, "Isn't it possible for adults to kneel and die?" ”

Duanmuxian raised his eyebrows and looked down at Jiang Deshen, who was kneeling on the ground, and almost provoked and said, if you have a kind, you will look at it to death!

There were several officials in the rear who were watching the excitement, and they saw Duanmu Xian forcing Jiang Deshen to death in a few words, his heart was complicated, and he sighed secretly: This Shoufu is still Shoufu!

"......" Jiang Deshen is face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and in less than half a cup of tea, he was forced into a dilemma by Duanmu Xian.

Now, if he "enters", he will have to die, and he doesn't want to die in vain; If you "retreat", it will be tantamount to admitting that you are making trouble, not only will you lose all your face, but you will also be forced by Duanmu Xian nine times out of ten.

Old fox, Duanmu Xian, this sinister old fox! Jiang Deshen scolded hatefully in his heart, he didn't feel that he was inferior to Duanmu Xian, and he was just that the other party was in a high position with Shoufu and was aggressive.

Duanmuxian also stopped talking, just looked down at Jiang Deshen with a smile, Jiang Deshen's forehead gradually drenched a layer of fine sweat, and the atmosphere froze.

A few officials in the rear, you look at me, I look at you, and they are also big-headed.

Suddenly, a middle-aged official walked over from under the corridor, smiled and smiled, and saluted Duanmu Xian first: "Lord Duanmu, you look in good spirits, you want to come and get better." ”

Then, he looked at Jiang Deshen again, leaned over and picked him up, "Master Jiang, why are you kneeling here?" The matter of the third prince, the younger brother also heard about it, Lord Jiang, you should mourn and change. Master Jiang, you look very haggard, it's better to go back and rest early. ”

The middle-aged official gave Jiang Deshen a step down, half dragging and half dragging the person away.

Duanmu Xian didn't stop the two of them, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of Wuying Palace.

At this point, Duanmuxian officially ended his recuperation and returned to the court.

On August 13, through the proposal of the cabinet, Fan Peizhong, the left attendant of the former Ministry of Officials, was appointed as the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

On August 14, Mu Jinfan led 300 Jinwu guards to escort a batch of firecrackers to Jinju.

In the next few days, there was some unrest in the court, and a cadre of civil servants complained of illness one after another and proposed to take leave.

The vacation is fake, and there is only one meaning expressed in and out of their words, since Mu Yan does things so self-talking, regardless of the opinions of the ministers, it means that he doesn't need them anymore, and they just ask for leave and go home to rest.

The threat of these courtiers is palpable.

In just four or five days, nearly one-third of the civil servants took leave, and the imperial court could hardly maintain normal operations.

Everyone knows that most of Mu Yan's people are in the military, and these ministers just want to see Mu Yan's busy appearance, and want him to know that this court is not his own decision, and they want him to be soft on them.

It's a game between the regent, or the new king, and the courtiers, and now it's up to them to see who takes a step back first.

In addition to these Wenchen, everyone else was also watching, wanting to see how Mu Yan would resolve this crisis.

Mu Yan was heartless, as if he didn't know how to be in a hurry, and early this morning, he ran to the East Factory alone.

"Big brother, come with me to watch polo!"

As soon as Mu Yan entered the door, he opened his mouth with these words.

"......" Cen Yin just finished writing the last word, put down the wolf pen in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Mu Yan with a hippie smile in front of him.

He originally thought that Mu Yan suddenly came to Dongchang to find him in a hurry, but he didn't expect it to be for polo.

Not only Cen Yin felt speechless, but so did the little scorpion, silently waiting for Cen Yin to speak and let Mu Yan go.

There was no need to be invited, Mu Yan sat down on the other side of the bookcase.

While pouring himself a cup of tea, he smiled and winked at Cen Yin behind the bookcase, and said shyly: "Zhen Zhen and my sister will go today, big brother, don't you want to go?" ”

"......" Cen Yin closed the official document in his hand, pursed his thin lips slightly, and did not speak.

Mu Yan shook his head disapprovingly, "Big brother, it's not good for you to be like this!" ”

Even if no one paid attention to him, Mu Yan still said happily to himself: "Big brother, I didn't say you, these official duties can never be done, and it won't be the same tomorrow!" ”

"To be a man, you have to combine work and rest. It should be tight, it should be loose, you are so procrastinating and grinding in the tight place, grinding and chirping, I think my sister must be annoying you, otherwise why didn't you even tell you to play polo? ”

As Mu Yan spoke, he carefully observed the changes in his expression.

Cen Yin's face changed slightly, and he was accidentally moved by Mu Yan's words. As Mu Yan said, neither sister ever told him about playing polo......

Mu Yan snickered secretly in his heart, but his face was justified, and he persuaded each other earnestly: "Big brother, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again." If you don't take the initiative, you will regret it. ”

"......" Cen Yin's gaffe was only a matter of a short blink of an eye, but in an instant, he returned to his usual calm and breezy appearance.

Cen Yin felt that Mu Yan's nonsense would only become more and more unseemly, so he simply took the initiative to provoke a topic: "Ah Yan, the last time Jinwu arrested a few Nanhuai spies, Dongchang has already interrogated ......."

Cen Yin said that it was the Nanhuai spies who came to save Li Xining last time, and Mu Yan was originally handed over to Jin Wuwei, but Jin Wuwei was too weak in the interrogation, and after two days of trial, nothing was tried, and then Mu Yan simply asked Cen Yin to let Dongchang interrogate.

Dongchang made a move, even if he couldn't stand it even with iron, he quickly pried open the mouths of these Nanhuai spies and interrogated something.

However, Cen Yin wanted to get down to business, but Mu Yan didn't want to hear it at all, so he directly interrupted him: "There's no urgency about this, it's the same if you talk about it later." People can't run anyway. ”

Mu Yan was disgusted by Cen Yin's ink, so he simply stood up, he bypassed the bookcase, grabbed Cen Yin's arm, and said with a smile: "Forget it, big brother, don't talk nonsense, let's leave quickly." ”

"It's late, and you won't be able to catch the polo game."

Mu Yan didn't give Cen Yin a chance to object, so he dragged him out of the house in a hurry.

"......" The corner of the little scorpion's eyes twitched, and he could only follow.

Mu Yan was still muttering in his mouth as he walked: "It's all this time, the game is estimated to have started, it's all your ...... to blame."

As a result, the Dongchang fans outside the house were dumbfounded when they looked at this scene and froze in place.

Someone secretly pinched his thigh, wanting to see if it was a dream.

Mu Yan didn't care about the strange faces of the others, and while pulling Cen Yin forward, he shouted in a loud voice: "Prepare the horse!" ”

Several Dongchang fans looked at each other, and one of the mustaches asked the triangular-eyed colleague next to him uncertainly, do you want to stop it?

Triangle Eye looked at a young chamberlain in Tsing Yi on the other side uncertainly, and showed with his eyes that he didn't seem unhappy when he looked at the Overseer, so he shouldn't stop him, right?

The little waiter in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, looked at the little scorpion who came out behind Cen Yin, and finally didn't dare to go up to stop him, and muttered softly: "This regent is too presumptuous......"

The two Dongchang fans beside him also heard it, and nodded frequently in deep understanding. That's right, this regent doesn't think of himself as an outsider!

In the scorching eyes of the Dongchang fans, Mu Yan and Cen Yin each got on their horses and left the Dongchang one after the other.

Today's weather is beautiful, the sun is shining, the sky is cloudless, and it is a good day to play polo.

The polo match was arranged in the palace of the king of Jinjun, that is, the mansion of Lan Tingyun.

When Mu Yan and Cen Yin arrived at the Junwang Mansion, it was just now.

Before the two of them knocked on the door, the corner door on the side of the palace had already opened, and the middle-aged man who rode out of the mansion happened to collide with Mu Yan and Cen Yin.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The middle-aged man, who was King Jinjun, almost didn't slide off his horse, his eyes widened, and he looked at Cen Yin a few steps away in disbelief, almost stupid.

Although Cen Yin was wearing a simple regular clothes, King Jin still recognized Cen Yin at a glance, his face was extremely ugly, and his first reaction was that Cen Yin suddenly came to the door without warning, it wouldn't be a raider, right?

"Lord Cen is Lord Regent."

King Jinjun forgot to dismount for a while, his complicated gaze scanned back and forth between Cen Yin and Mu Yan, and the second reaction was, how could these two be together?!

King Jin felt that this world seemed to be a little mysterious.

The picture of these two people suddenly appearing at the door of their house is really how strange it looks.

Then his third reaction was, could it be because he deliberately "held the illness" and didn't go on an errand, so Mu Yan complained to Cen Yin, and Cen Yin came to the county king's mansion to raid his house?

Bang bang bang!

King Jinjun's heart beat faster, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.

With Mu Yan's always reckless and reckless temperament, maybe he can really do it.

The more King Jinjun thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he almost blurted out that Mu Yan was despicable.

He finally had some sense, gritted his teeth and swallowed the words back, his eyes sparkling.

King Jinjun reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said cautiously and politely: "I don't know that the two of them visited the cold house, and this king didn't greet the two of them well, it's really rude." ”

While speaking, King Jin Jun still accidentally showed his timidity, and the whole person trembled, and even the horse under his crotch seemed to feel his uneasiness, and paced the horse's hooves anxiously.

King Jin Jun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, not only wanting to ask if the two big Buddhas were here to raid the house, but also wondering if it was more polite to invite people in to speak first.

Mu Yan was not impatient to deal with King Jinjun at all, he was in a hurry to see Duanmu Fei, and smiled casually: "The prince is going out, right?" Please let the prince do it himself. We're here to see polo. ”

"......" King Jin frowned, almost wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Of course, he knew that the fourth princess, Duanmu Fei and others came to his house to play polo, but this was just a matter of juniors playing together.

If Mu Yan ran to watch polo for his fiancΓ©e, what about Cen Yin? I've never heard Cen Yin inexplicably go to other people's houses to watch polo!

The corners of King Jinjun's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Mu Yan more, always feeling that Mu Yan was not telling the truth.

That's right, watching polo or something, no matter how you listen to it, it's a bit child's play. If it was said by the gentleman of any family, it would be about the same, when Mu Yan and Cen Yin arrived, no matter how they thought about it, they felt that there must be something strange in it.

King Jinjun decisively dismounted, and smiled casually: "Anyway, this king has nothing to do, so let's just go with Lord Cen and the regent." ”

King Jin Jun glanced at the long entourage behind him, and the long entourage immediately understood, and hurriedly went to inform the concierge.

A distinguished guest came to the door, and the vermilion lacquer gate of the king of Jinjun was wide open, and the porter and the maid and the maid stood on both sides to welcome the distinguished guest.

"Please, both."

King Jin Jun stretched out his hand to make an invitation, personally welcomed them in, and said to himself in his heart that Mu Yan must have hated himself for taking sick leave and not giving him face, so he came over to see if he was really sick under the pretext of watching polo.

But he was also unlucky, just so that Mu Yan bumped into himself and was about to go out, and he was caught.

Now it's troublesome, and he must be inextricably accused of pretending to be sick.

King Jinjun's heart seemed to have pressed a boulder, heavy, and secretly scolded Mu Yan for being despicable, just coming by himself, and even pulling Cen Yin with him.

Is it that as long as you don't deal with it well today, the next time Dongchang will come to raid the house, and use yourself to kill chickens and monkeys?

The more King Jin Jun thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Naturally, he couldn't sit still, and while greeting the two of them inside, he explained in a way that he wanted to cover up: "When this king got up in the morning, people were still a little uncomfortable, but now he is a little better, and he originally wanted to go out and ride a horse to get some air. ”

As they spoke, the three of them walked through the courtyard behind the gate and headed towards the northeast corner of the county king's mansion.

Mu Yan let out an "oh" casually, slowly shook the folding fan in his hand, and turned his head to praise Cen Yin: "The pattern and scenery of this county palace are not bad. ”

Cen Yin bowed his head and said: "It is staggered, and it is properly hidden." ”

All the way, this county palace is arranged luxuriously and elegantly, the pavilions and pavilions around it, the corridors and bridges, the mountains and rocks, flowers and trees and so on are dizzying, in the courtyard, the garden is full of flowers, fighting for beauty, the building and the surrounding grass and flowers set off each other, just right.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and Mu Yanzan's words are not for King Jinjun at all, but King Jinjun was so shocked that he almost didn't go limp, pondering the meaning of Mu Yan's words.

"Where, where! The regent and the lord of Cen praised it. King Jin Jun smiled stiffly, his right eyelid jumped, and he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

The eldest princess of Anping is the most beloved daughter of the first emperor, and the princess's mansion is also carefully selected, covering a wider area than the county king's mansion, and it is more magnificent and gorgeous.

Unless......

King Jin Jun chuckled in his heart, thinking of some possibility.

Wait a minute!

Mu Yan didn't want to raid his own house and then confiscate this mansion as his hidden residence before he ascended the throne?

King Jin couldn't control his thoughts, and walked all the way, thinking crankily all the way.

He regretted it!

Ay! King Jin sighed in his heart, why did he need to take leave from the crowd, anyway, his errand was not up to par, why should he follow that group of people to make trouble! I didn't get anything good if I made trouble, but now I have to cause trouble for myself!

King Jinjun really regretted that his intestines were blue.

But it was difficult to recover from the water, and now he could only carefully serve the two big Buddhas.

The sound of horses' hooves and cheers from the front woke King Jin Jun from his chaotic thoughts, and he raised his hand and pointed to the racetrack in front of him and said, "Lord Regent, Lord Cen Governor, the four princesses, the four girls of Duanmu and the little girl, they should be playing polo in front." ”

In the racecourse, it is very lively at the moment, and a group of people have already played.

On the field, a dozen young men and women, distinguished by the red and blue wipes tied to their foreheads, were riding horses chasing the same leather bow in the field, and the leather bow flew back and forth in the field with the swing of a pole and a pole......

In the several bamboo sheds under the field, the audience who watched the game broke out into warm applause from time to time.

"Well played!"

As someone shouted, he saw the piju "whoosh" out in mid-air, flying into the goal accurately, and attracting a burst of applause like a wave.

King Jinjun's eyes swept around the court, and he found that it was not only the fourth princess Hanxing who came to the mansion today, but also the eldest prince Mu Youxian.

King Jinjun had cold sweat on his forehead, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor today, of course, Mu Yan's chances are now greater, but the eldest prince appeared in his mansion, will it make Mu Yan think that he supports the eldest prince?

King Jinjun felt that his daughter was too unreliable, so he just heard her casually say that the fourth princess and Duanmu Fei and others were going to come to the mansion to play polo, but she didn't say that the eldest prince would also come!

Mu Yan didn't care what King Jinjun was thinking, he saw Duanmu Fei sitting in the first bamboo shed at a glance, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes lit up.

"Vera!" Mu Yan couldn't see anything else in his eyes, and immediately walked towards Duanmufei.

Duanmufei is very self-aware of his ability to play polo, he didn't go off the field with Hanxing and Duanmujun, and sat in the bamboo shed with Zhang Lan to watch the ball game, paint, drink tea, and eat snacks.

Zhang Lan was concentrating on painting, drawing the polo picture in front of him, Duanmu Fei was idle and bored, so he sat next to Zhang Lan and watched Zhang Lan paint, and occasionally watched the game, which was quite comfortable.

As soon as Mu Yan called, Duanmu Fei immediately followed the sound and smiled at Mu Yan and Cen Yin, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes were bent into a pleasant crescent.

Duanmu Fei was about to wave at Mu Yan and Cen Yin, but he thought of something again, and temporarily turned his head to look at the field, "Sister! She waved happily at Duanmujun on the court, alerting her that someone was coming.

Duanmu, who was riding on the back of Shuangxuan, seemed to sense something from Duanmufei's call, and when he turned around, he also saw Cen Yin at the entrance, with a smile on his bright face that was more delicate than a flower, and his eyes were bright.

Duanmujun wore a riding costume of begonia red embroidered dragonfly and lotus today, heroic, with a thick green silk tied a Chaoyun near the incense bun, and only a jade plum hairpin was obliquely inserted.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.

Cen Yin could see at a glance that the jade hairpin on Duanmu's head was a birthday gift from him to her that day, and there was a soft light in his narrow eyes.

Of course, the other people around also saw Cen Yin at this moment, and there were many people who knew Cen Yin, and those people were silenced as if they were dumb, and the atmosphere became very strange.

"Ah Yan." Duanmu Fei didn't notice it, and happily beckoned Mu Yan to sit down beside her, "Why are you here?" ”

Duanmu Fei hadn't seen Mu Yan for a few days, but he heard a lot from Duanmu Xian, and knew that there had been a lot of things in the court recently, so he didn't ask Mu Yan to come over to play together.

Cen Yin raised her eyebrows slightly, and heard the meaning of Duanmufei's words, she didn't ask Mu Yan at all.

Cen Yin looked at Mu Yan coldly, with a bit of questioning in his eyes. When he was in the East Factory, this stinky boy didn't say that!

Mu Yan smiled without any weakness and shrugged his shoulders, meaning, look, big brother, how good I am to you.

"Master Cen ." Duanmu Fei looked at Mu Yan and Cen Yin back and forth, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little strange, but he didn't care, and beckoned Cen Yin to come and sit down.

When a guest arrived, the maids of the Jinjun Wangfu hurriedly served tea to the guests.

Duanmu said with a smile: "Ah Yan, Gongzi Cen, you try this Pu'er, fifty-year-old Pu'er, this is Tingyun's private collection." ”

Pu'er tea soup is bright in color, pure in aroma, and has a faint orchid fragrance.

Cen Yin picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrance of tea, and praised: "Fragrant in the orchid of Jiuwan, good tea." ”

Cen Yin was still smelling the tea, and Mu Yan had already taken several sips.

Duanmu glanced at Mu Yan and said teasingly: "Young Master Cen still understands tea, look at him, cow chewing peony!" ”

Mu Yan shrugged, it doesn't matter if he can taste tea, just "send tea".

The three of them got along casually and naturally, but in contrast, King Jinjun, who was about to be forgotten, was so panicked that he felt that his heart had been dug up.

He couldn't help but recall every word and word that Fang Cai Mu Yan said over and over again, and he always felt that what he said contained deep meaning.

Is it too late for him to hurry up and cancel the vacation now?

King Jinjun thought about it tangledly, he didn't know how much he sighed in his heart, and secretly scolded Mu Yan for being despicable again, he couldn't figure it out himself, so he sacrificed Cen Yin to come forward!

Hey, isn't it true that Cen Yin and Mu Yan have become "brothers"? Why did he casually come forward for Mu Yan?!

King Jinjun's gaze swept back and forth between Mu Yan, Cen Yin, and Duanmu Fei, and his mind became even more confused.
