Finally on November 12, Cheng Yan took Cheng Yu and led hundreds of guards to Anxi with military talismans, and the ministers and empresses sent them outside Guanghua Gate before returning.

The north wind has been swirling and rolling the fallen leaves in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and there are fewer people walking in the market, Cheng Mo just returned to the Huainan Hou Mansion, and saw Chang Yun riding a horse in front of the mansion from a distance, wrapped in a cloak, but still shrinking his neck, and his personal entourage Daquan was talking to the little guy in front of the door.

Seeing Cheng Mo riding over, Chang Yun suddenly smiled, and he didn't care about the cold, so he drove the horse over: "It's time to wait for you, come with me, His Royal Highness King Yu has set up a banquet, let me come to you." ”

Cheng Mo frowned: "This will be? Just now I sent Wei Guogong on the expedition, how can His Highness be so Yaxing. ”

Chang Yun didn't care to say much to him, and gathered his cloak: "While walking, it's cold this day, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come." ”

When he arrived at Chang's Villa, Cheng Mo learned that it was King Yu who asked the Chang family to prepare a banquet and invited several courtiers from his cronies to join him.

As soon as he entered the door, King Yu laughed: "You say that my banquet is too bland, this is not to invite you to be interesting, there is no fun with Cheng Wulang!" ”

Chang Yun was very honored, and nodded again and again: "No, Wulang is one of the best prodigals in Chang'an City, and there is nothing he doesn't know about eating wine and feasting." ”

Cheng Mo looked at King Yu and those few people full of interested smiles, his eyebrows didn't move, and he smiled faintly and owed a debt: "Your Highness praises it, where can my little trick get into the eyes of His Highness and you, I can only take Chang Erlang and a few of them to mess around." ”

"What's the matter, I'm serious." Chang Yun muttered.

Cheng Mo sat down at the banquet, and then listened to King Yu, it turned out that he wanted to ask him about the banquet in the Wanshou Palace that day, but he didn't hide it, but only said what he knew: "...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered a few people from Honglu Temple to come over, and asked me to help with the feast and purchase wine vessels, but I couldn't manage anything else, and I didn't know anything about the palace banquet. ”

King Yu sneered slightly when he heard this: "I will arrange it, and I know that Cheng Wu is the best at this, so it's not wrong." It's just that other thoughts are too eye-catching, and they take us for fools. ”

Chang Hui said on the side: "After all, it was a failure, the carefully prepared birthday gift was also ruined, and Your Majesty is not as good as before in the East Palace." ”

King Yu pinched the cup, stared at the venison pot that was still rumbling on the table, and his face became even colder: "But let the thief of the Lu family please him!" ”

"This time the expedition to the northwest is the Duke of Wei Guo, and the East Palace is afraid that it will be proud for a while, if it is a great victory in the northwest......" King Yu's expression was cold, and everyone present was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Originally, King Yu had a loyal general An Changzhi in his hands, but he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Chang'an, An Changzhi was worried, not to mention going to the northwest, I am afraid that he will not need it for a while.

In this way, from the Wanshou Palace banquet to the northwest army, the East Palace and the King of Liang each won a game, only the Yu Wangfu has been losing troops and losing generals, and the King of Yu is inevitably angry.

Chang Hui sighed beside him: "Speaking of which, these things have the pair of Fu brothers in it, the original Wanshou Palace banquet was Fu Dalang Jinyan let the East Palace handle it, and later Min Lu came back from Hebei Road, but it was Fu Erlang who praised Min Lu in front of His Majesty several times, if it wasn't for those things that happened later, I can't say that the matter of going to the northwest this time would have fallen on Min Lu." ”

Hearing the mention of the Fu brothers, King Yu's face was even more ugly, and he smashed the wine cup on the table: "What are those two things, they are just two things raised by His Majesty!" I even dare to meddle in the government, one day I will make them worse than dead! ”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of several people present changed, the Fu brothers are now unusual in Daming Palace, they accompany the empress all the year round, and most of them respond to every suggestion, and they dare not offend.

Cheng Mo looked ordinary, and said unhurriedly on the side: "Fortunately, those two don't seem to think of one place, one speaks for the East Palace, and the other speaks for King Liang, so they finally have mutual constraints." ”

When King Yu heard this, he paused and suddenly loosened his brows: "Yes, they don't really have a deep brotherhood, not to mention that there will always be a superior next to Your Majesty." ”

He looked at Cheng Mo and smiled: "I can't imagine that Gorou looked lazy in the past, but there were times when he was crooked." ”

Cheng Mo laughed and bowed to King Yu: "Your Royal Highness has won the award, where do I know this, or just said it to the right servant, I was curious to say a little more." ”

King Yu didn't really think that he could think of this, so he smiled and talked to Chang Hui about the affairs of the court: "Next year's Spring Festival should be the host of the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jin Cheng is very old, and he will be sick at the beginning of spring this year. ”

Chang Hui pondered: "There are not many people available to His Royal Highness now, and the main examination of Chunyu pays attention to qualifications, and it is really not easy to be a Jinshi." ”

Duan Hong, the son of the country on the side, said with a smile: "Isn't the right servant shooting the right person?" has profound qualifications and is from a role model, even there are few in the DPRK that can be compared. ”

King Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right, Chang Hui is just right, I will recommend you after a few days to discuss the matter of Chunqiu." ”

Chang Hui hurriedly humbled him: "There are still a few suitable people in the court, all of whom are more senior and have won the trust of His Majesty." ”

King Yu raised his head slightly: "Those few are their people, if they get the main exam of Chunqiu, won't even the soldiers of the world have become their protégés, and this time they must not be allowed to take the lead!" ”

Chang Hui also nodded, the matter of Chunfu is related to the country, it is not trivial, if the prince or the person of King Liang wins the main examination of Chunqiu, I am afraid that the foundation will be deeper in the future.

After the banquet was dispersed, Chang Yun sent Cheng Mo out, full of doubts as he walked: "Wulang, did you understand what they said just now?" I feel like I'm playing a dumb riddle, saying half and half left. ”

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, with Chang Yun's temperament, he should really be a gentleman, he is not suitable for these things of intrigue between the DPRK and China at all, but he was born in the Chang family, the Chang family does not have a noble title, and his background is ordinary, but he is a high and powerful person, it is inevitable to be involved in the party struggle, if the children of the Chang family cannot be useful, they will be regarded as outcasts, so Chang Yun's temperament has to follow the heart.

It's just that his heart and eyes, it's better not to use it!

He looked at Chang Yun and could only shake his head: "I don't understand much, Your Highness probably has his own plans." ”

In the eyes of King Yu's group, Cheng Mo is just a useless prodigal, so he can be treated as his own person, and he doesn't avoid him when he speaks, and Cheng Mo is also happy to do so.
