Chapter 38: The Audience

When Chu Yan and Chu Yun heard this, they both looked up at Emperor Chu, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes.

If Emperor Chu had already been selected, why did they let them recommend people!

The two of them chuckled in their hearts, what was Emperor Chu thinking in his heart.

However, Emperor Chu didn't say anything, they could only be silent, and it was definitely not a good time to ask questions at this time.

The deep eyes swept the people below, and when Emperor Chu saw that no one spoke, he said: "You are also familiar with this person, and you haven't seen him for several years." ”

Emperor Chu sighed and said, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened when he mentioned that person, although he didn't smile on his face, he could see that he was happy in his heart.

Chu Yan observed the expression on Emperor Chu's face, and his eyes narrowed.

The door in the imperial study was suddenly pushed open, Zhu Hai stepped over the door, patted his arms with both hands, bent down slightly, and a sharp and piercing voice sounded in the imperial study: "The slave knocks on the emperor." ”

The people in the imperial study looked at Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai was the father-in-law of Emperor Chu, and he was also a celebrity beside Emperor Chu, and he was inseparable from Emperor Chu's side, so why did he come in from the outside today?

Chu Yan and Chu Yun glanced at each other, and when they saw each other, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know what was going on in their hearts.

"Get up, what's going on so flustered." Emperor Chu's eyes fell on Zhu Hai, and he did not slow down.

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness has arrived." Zhu Hai got up and said cautiously.

Chu Mo!

Chu Yan looked at Emperor Chu with his eyes, and when he heard Chu Mo's name, Emperor Chu's face changed slightly, but Chu Yan and Chu Yun were surprised in their hearts.

Chu Mo has always been on the side of the Northern Desert, if it was impossible for him to come back without the summons of the Chu Emperor, then there is only one possibility, Chu Mo was summoned back by the Chu Emperor.

So the right person that Emperor Chu said was ......

"The third child has arrived, let him in quickly." Emperor Chu hurriedly urged, Zhu Hai answered, and immediately walked outside.

After a while, Chu Mo walked in from outside the hall, and the dozen or so subordinates behind him didn't bring them, and even their clothes were changed again, and they were not as clean and tidy as he was yesterday.

"Sons see their father, long live their father, long live their father." Chu Mo knelt in front of Emperor Chu, his voice was loud but majestic, quite a bit of Emperor Chu's heroism when he was young, no wonder Emperor Chu was very fond of Chu Mo, every time he saw Chu Mo, it was like seeing his own appearance when he was young.

"Hurry up, this rare coming back doesn't have to be restrained." Emperor Chu immediately shouted, and even the corners of his eyes were bent into a crescent shape, which was enough to see how happy Emperor Chu was.

"Father, the right person you said, is it the third brother?" Chu Yun saw Emperor Chu's Long Yan and said with great joy.

"Well, I'm afraid that only the third child is suitable for this matter." Emperor Chu looked at Chu Mo and said, but these words made the others ponder in their hearts, the person they recommended Emperor Chu was not at ease, did he have to come to Chu Mo in person to rest assured, this means how important Chu Mo's position in the heart of Emperor Chu is.

Fang Cai only listened to Gonggong Zhu say a few words outside, and probably knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that his father would hand over this important task to him, in terms of seniority and experience, which one of the people in this imperial study is not better than him, he is just a rough person, and he doesn't know much about investigating cases, if he is allowed to go to war or beat people, it will be easier.

"Father, this matter is big, it doesn't seem appropriate to give full power to the sons, the prince and the second brother are more suitable than the sons, so it's better to ......" Chu Mo said seriously, hoping that Emperor Chu could think about it clearly.

"Don't go to the Northern Desert when you come back this time, stay in the palace, if you can't do it, then let that be called, Ye He will come to assist you, this person is very interesting." Emperor Chu thought about it, but he couldn't think of that kind of little person, this person was recommended by Xia Ruosheng, but he was a clever boy, so Emperor Chu liked it at first sight.

It's a pity that Ji Xiaoren is a little person after all, where can he remember it as the Son of Heaven.

"Emperor Qiqi, that person's name is Ye Ziyuan." Xia Ruosheng said slowly, his eyes full of pride.

This is the person he recommended, and being able to win the emperor's favor is good for both him and Ye Ziyuan.

And Ye Ziyuan has only been an official for a long time to be appreciated by the emperor, which is not easy.

The secretary of the ministry, who can sit in this position is not low, but let Ye Ziyuan, who has just entered the court as an official, be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he is only a small position but can check the secretary of the ministry, Xia Ruosheng just wanted to sell the prince to save face before recommending Ye Ziyuan, and now even he has to consider whether to promote him again.

Xia Ruosheng still remembered that when Ye Ziyuan first met Emperor Chu, Ye Ziyuan only said one sentence, which made Emperor Chu laugh.

When Ye Ziyuan saw Emperor Chu, not only did he not salute, this was already a great crime of disrespect, and at that time, Emperor Chu wanted to punish him, but because Ye Ziyuan only followed Ming Jun and picked up a life.

Over the years, the talents recommended by those ministers, Emperor Chu gave him a face reward and a half-official position, but he would not reuse it, but Ye Ziyuan was the only one who looked really interesting, and he didn't salute when he saw him for the first time, and he boldly said those words.

Whether it's true or not, he has heard a lot of good things over the years, but it is not as true as Ye Ziyuan said.

Emperor Chu has been in power for more than 20 years, the wind and rain in Chu are smooth, thieves dare not run rampant, there is an undefeated general Xiao Yongde outside, there is Su Ziyu who has a plan inside, and there are Qingdao people who can do things in the world, he has done much better than those emperors in previous dynasties over the years, so Emperor Chu believes that he is a Ming monarch.

"Third brother, you don't know your father's good intentions, he is training you, you can take it, don't let your father down." Chu Yun smiled when he saw Chu Mo's embarrassed look, and no matter what, as long as it wasn't someone from the prince's side who took over this matter, and that Ye Ziyuan was recommended by Xia Lao Fox, this person had to guard against it with clever means.

Chu Yun and Chu Yan knew in their hearts what Emperor Chu meant by doing this, he had the intention to cultivate Chu Mo and wanted him to learn more things, ordinary people must be very happy to take over this matter, but seeing that Chu Mo didn't seem to be like this, I don't know if it was real or pretended.

And no matter what, as long as it's not Chu Yan, now Chu Yan should be like an ant on a hot pot.

Neither of them expected that Emperor Chu would let Chu Mo investigate this case, and Emperor Chu had traveled thousands of miles to summon Chu Mo back from the Northern Desert just to investigate the matter of the Ministry of Shangshu? They don't believe anything!

This Chu country is full of talents, but it is just to investigate a case, and he actually worked hard to let Chu Mo, who is far away in the northern desert, come back?

Chu Yan and Chu Yun knew in their hearts that things couldn't be so simple, but they only dared to guess in their hearts what Emperor Chu asked Chu Mo to come back for, but they didn't dare to say it clearly.

Chu Mo looked up at Emperor Chu, five years ago he was still young, even his hair was jet black, but now his temples are a little white, even though he looks young, he has to admit that he is old.

"Son's command." Seeing Chu Mo's order, Emperor Chu's stiff face had a hint of a smile.

"This matter can't be delayed, you have to speed up, don't let me down." Emperor Chu exhaled a long breath and said earnestly.

"Yes, the son will not disappoint his father."

"You all go down first, the third one stays, I have something to talk to the third one." Emperor Chu waved his hand, as if he had the intention of sending it away, but only Chu Mo was left, which inevitably made them suspicious.

"Yes, the sons (ministers) will retire first." Several people said in unison, and after speaking, they retreated.

Seeing that the lights in the imperial study were bright, and I didn't know what Emperor Chu and Chu Mo had talked about, Chu Yan glanced coldly in the direction of the imperial study, and a cold ice crossed his eyes.

Emperor Chu wanted to cultivate Chu Mo!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, your eyes are red, do you need the third brother to help you find the imperial doctor?" Chu Yun saw Chu Yan's eyes and looked in the direction of the imperial study and asked.

"I'm afraid this red eye disease is not the only one of the princes, second brother, are you right? The third brother was suddenly recalled by his father, and he took such a fancy to Chu Mo, do you think that his father didn't think about anything else? Chu is full of talents, and it takes thousands of miles to recall the third brother from the Northern Desert to solve a case? You and I could have done the same. Chu Yan looked at the people around him coldly, but what he said made Chu Yun feel reasonable.

"My father has his own reasons for doing this, and it's not good for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think so." Chu Yun glanced around and said vigilantly.

"Isn't the second brother thinking so? If not, please forget what Prince Ben said today, but Prince Ben still has to remind you that Chu Mo's return is not a good thing for you and me. A trace of coldness crossed Xing Han's eyes, and even his tone became a little colder, and then he shook his sleeves and left from Chu Yun's side.

Chu Yun looked at Chu Yan's back, what he said made sense.

Chu Mo's return is definitely not a good thing for him, but it is not a good thing for the prince, especially when Chu Mo starts to check Wang Yu, the secretary of the ministry, this matter should be annoying to Chu Yan.

This Wang Yu can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice.

Lightly, that must be impossible!

Chu Mo stayed in the imperial study, and Emperor Chu only asked him how his situation was in the Northern Desert, so Chu Mo stayed in the imperial study for less than half an hour and left.

When Chu Mo came out of the imperial study, it was already late, and the cool breeze blew, making him a little in a trance, and he almost forgot that he was now in the Chu State instead of the Northern Desert.

At night in the northern desert, the sand and dust rolled up, but it was much colder than this.

Although Emperor Chu asked Chu Mo to stay in the palace to rest, Chu Mo refused.

The candlelight flickered, and a touch of ice appeared on that vicissitudes of life, not as if he had just talked to Chu Mo, but with a hint of anger.

Inside the palace of the Four Princes

Chu Yu slept in the hallway, holding his head with one hand, a pot of warm wine beside him, and a celadon-colored wine glass in the other, and the wine was still smoking.

This cold winter wax moon is really cold.

"It's the fourth brother, you are the loneliest here, I thought I went to the wrong place." A voice came from front of him, Chu Yu saw that the person in front of him was wearing a purple dark pattern cotton clothes, neat and clean, this somewhat familiar face was reflected in Chu Yu's phoenix eyes, and Chu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, could it be that the fourth brother forgot about the third brother and me so quickly?" Seeing that Chu Yu didn't say anything, Chu Mo sat beside him, reached out and snatched the wine glass from his hand, and drank it all.

"Third brother, why are you back, don't say a word to me when you come back, so that I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you and take you to the drunken fairy building to have a lap first." Chu Yu sat upright, looked at Chu Mo and said with a smile, his tone was full of excitement, and even what he said was frivolous.

However, Chu Mo is not to blame, because Chu Yu has always been like this.

However, compared with five years ago, he has grown up and matured a lot, especially this face, which is more and more like his mother.
