Chu Xun hurried to the gate of the official office and was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.

Bao Xin arrived later and hurriedly dismounted to his side.

"Do you know who the old man is?" "Although Chu Xun is a common man now, after all, he has the position of Jiuqing and is very famous. In this era, fame is a pass, that is, it can be very bullish! Don't look at him, he has resigned from his official position a long time ago, and he has been in the opposition for many years, and his name is still only rising but not falling, and he has a good reputation among the people.

Not to mention a Taishou official residence, the Assassin Mansion dares to go on a rampage.

Of course, this is based on the fact that everyone respects the old man.

Liu Yuanxiang is known for his benevolence, and of course he has great respect for him, even if this person has opposed the first emperor before, it is Emperor You who supports him.

Of course, the government does not mean that you can enter the land.

Although the military general guarding the gate respected Chu Xun, he did not dare to neglect his duties, so he could only say to him: "Duke Chu, the duty of the last general is not to let you enter the official office! At this moment, the lord is discussing official business with the generals, and he cannot be disturbed. ”

"Is my daughter inside?" Chu Xun asked.

"Duke Chu, please don't embarrass the general. When the discussion is over, the lord will definitely be willing to talk to the Duke of Chu. ”

"The old man is here to find his daughter!" Chu Xun saw that he refused to get out of the way, so he raised his head and shouted loudly, "Ning Ze Xiao'er came out for me, you used evil magic to lure my daughter to do such a ridiculous thing, it is not a gentleman's doing!

"Duke Chu, don't do this!" the military general guarding the gate was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't order anything to do to him, "The last general will take you to the neighborhood to rest for a while, and wait until the discussion is over......"

"Get out!" Ning Ze Xiao'er, demon and evil man, come out to the old man!!" Chu Xun didn't pay attention to it, because he was worried that his daughter was in a hurry, so he continued to shout loudly.

"Brother, brother!" Bao Xin hurriedly came over and persuaded, "Calm down." ”

"Get out of the way!" Chu Xun ignored it, and once again opened his throat and shouted inside, "Demon Ning Ze, come out to the old man!" If you don't return your daughter to the old man, the old man will die in the Taishou Office today, and then everyone in the world will know that there is a demon in Huajun!"

There was a discussion going on in the official office, and Ning Ze rarely did not open his mouth, and handed over most of the official affairs to Chu Meiren to handle.

Chu Meiren lived up to her trust, and any problem was easily resolved in her hands, which convinced all the civil and military officials who had doubted her before, including Liu Yuanxiang, who was a little unhappy at the beginning, was also shocked by Chu Meiren's ability, and was full of joy when she looked at her.

This is a rare talent!

It turned out that the military advisor didn't lie to himself, and with the addition of Chu Meiren, it was like a tiger with wings.

At this moment, Chu Xun's shouting suddenly came from outside, which made the meeting have to be suspended.

The scolding voice came into his ears clearly, and Liu Yuanxiang turned to Ning Ze in confusion: "Military advisor, it seems to be Duke Chu outside, why does he say that you are a demon?"

The civil and military officials also looked at Ning Ze with strange expressions.

Ning Ze looked indifferent and smiled: "It seems that Duke Chu has some misunderstandings about me. ”

"Lord, military advisor, generals!" Chu Meiren stood up and said apologetically, "It's the lower official who didn't negotiate with my father, I'm very sorry!"

"It's okay, that's to be expected. Ning Ze said with a smile.

"Please give Xia Guan some time," Chu Meiren said, "Xia Guan will persuade his father to leave." ”

"Wait!" Liu Yuanxiang thought for a while, "It's better to ask Duke Chu to enter the official office and explain this matter in person." What does the advisor think?"

Ning Ze smiled and nodded: "The Lord is reasonable, inviting Duke Chu to come in is the best choice." ”

"That's the case, come here!" Liu Yuanxiang ordered, "Invite Duke Chu to come in and speak." ”

Chu Xun took Bao Xin to a stalemate with the gatekeeper outside the gate, and continued to shout. Not long after, a herald appeared: "Please enter the official office of Duke Chu!"

When the gatekeeper heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered to retreat to both sides to get out of the way: "Duke Chu, please!"

"Hmph!" Chu Xun had a cold face and ran quickly to the official office.

Bao Xin was just about to go in, but was stopped by the general: "Duke Chu can enter, you are waiting here!"

There was no way, Bao Xin could only stay outside the door honestly, worried about looking inside.

When Chu Xun stepped into the official office, Liu Yuanxiang had already left the throne and came over to greet him with the civil and military ministers, very respectfully: "Liu Yuanxiang, the daughter of the first emperor, has seen the Duke of Chu!"

"Duke Chu!" Liang Teng and the other officials bowed together.

Chu Xun glanced at it, and quickly found his daughter in official uniform in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What kind of system!"

"Father!" Chu Meiren stepped forward and squatted slightly to salute.

Chu Xun's gaze turned to Ning Ze, with an angry expression: "Demon, what kind of evil art do you use to confuse my daughter, why don't you quickly solve the demon art?"

"What do you mean by Duke Chu?" Ning Ze arched his hand and smiled, "How did Xia Guan become a demon? Besides, Xia Guan doesn't know how to do witchcraft, I'm afraid you misunderstood." ”

"I don't know witchcraft, how can my daughter do such a ridiculous thing?" Chu Xun pointed at Chu Meiren and said hurriedly, "Look at what she is wearing? The old man has taught her etiquette and honesty since she was a child, but now she is a female official, if it is not witchcraft, how can she be like this?"

"Duke Chu misunderstood," Ning Ze said with a smile, "I really don't know how to do witchcraft ...... below."

"Father!" Chu Meiren said, "Brother Ning is not a demon, and he doesn't know any witchcraft. The daughter was not subjected to witchcraft, but of her own free will. ”

"Nonsense!" Chu Xun said hurriedly, "You were taught by your father since childhood, and you are the most sensible and shameful. If he hadn't fallen for the evil arts, how could he have said this? Don't worry, with a father here, he will definitely not let this demon succeed!"

Liu Yuanxiang saw Chu Xun calling Ning Ze a demonic person, and he was faintly displeased in his heart, but he still stood up and said respectfully: "Duke Chu, there must be a misunderstanding here." A military advisor is a mortal, not an evil. ”

"Duke Chu," Liang Teng also came out and said, "This official has known the military advisor for the longest time, and he is the most qualified to protect him, and he is definitely not a demon. What's more, Master Chu has a clear and well-organized agenda, and there is no problem with the discussions. ”

"You are all in the same group, of course speak for him!" Chu Xun frowned and said, "My daughter, who can know better than me? She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, sensible and intelligent, she will never do such a ridiculous thing, what kind of female official! If she hadn't fallen for the evil arts, she would never have done this!"

As he spoke, he grabbed his daughter's hand and was about to take her away.

"Father!" Chu Meiren gently broke away, "Brother Ning is not a demon, and he has not used any evil magic on his daughter. In the past few days, I have talked with Brother Ning about astronomy and geography, calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, and the art of war, and I have found that Brother Ning's talent is far above that of his daughter, which is really admirable. Brother Ning has great ambitions, which makes his daughter admire. At first, her daughter also thought that the matter of female officials was too ridiculous, but Brother Ning understood it and reasoned about it, so that her daughter understood that this matter was a huge change for women in the world. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for women to be officials, and even if a woman is talented and learned, she can only teach her husband and children at home, which is meaningless. Although the etiquette is like this, the daughter thinks that it is wrong! Women should also have a chance to show their talents! The daughter's move may awaken the people of the world ......"

"Shut up!" Chu Xun said hurriedly, "Do you know what you're talking about? If you hadn't fallen into an evil spirit, how could you say this? Hurry up and go home with your father!"

"Father!" Chu Meiren looked up and said, "What my daughter said came from the heart. I have made up my mind that I will never change it!"

"You are now confused and talking nonsense, go home with your father!" Chu Xun said, "Father will take you to the mage to exorcise evil spirits." ”

Liu Yuanxiang had seen Chu Meiren's ability just now, and said in her heart that if she was taken away, the talented girl she had so hard to get would be lost again! The military advisor had made a lot of effort to recruit her, how could she just give up?

So he said to Chu Xun: "Chu Gong don't want to be angry, why don't you sit down and drink a glass of water and wine, let's discuss it calmly and slowly?"

"Yes, Duke Chu!" Liang Teng also hurriedly said, "Xiaguan immediately ordered someone to bring wine and food, let's sit down and talk." ”

Civil and military officials came over one after another, and everyone persuaded them together.

"What kind of wine are you drinking? The old man is not in that mood!" Chu Xun turned to his daughter, "Let's go! Pack up our luggage when we go back, let's go back to our hometown directly!"

"Father!" Although Chu Meiren's voice was gentle, her tone was firm, "My daughter can't go with you now." Our army is engaged in an important discussion, and when you interrupt it at a key point, how can you leave here? What is there to wait until the discussion is over, and my daughter will explain it to you in person. The proceedings are still ongoing, so please go home and wait. ”

Chu Xun was stunned when she heard this, this baby daughter from childhood to adulthood would never disobey herself, let alone talk back to herself. But now it's so tough, it seems that it's really fallen for evil magic!

Glaring at Ning Ze angrily, he was about to speak, when Liu Yuanxiang next to him said: "Lord Chu is reasonable, the deliberations must continue, and important official affairs must be dealt with quickly." However, this palace feels that it is possible to let the Duke of Chu stay here, and it is probably more reassuring to look at Lord Chu in person. ”

"Lord!" Chu Meiren admonished when she heard this, "My father is not from our army, how can he stay here......?"

"What are you talking about?!" Chu Xun almost fainted, this baby daughter was definitely in the middle of evil magic, otherwise how could she say such a thing, and even question her father?

"Lord Chu," Liu Yuanxiang said, "How could Duke Chu be like this?"

"Lord, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed!" Chu Meiren said solemnly, "Although it is the father of the lower official, you can't help but guard against it!"

"Master Chu, you're too serious!" Ning Ze came over from behind with a smile, "Ling Zun is not that kind of person. According to what the lord said, let's continue the discussion, and ask the Duke of Chu to drink and wait at the guest seat first, and then discuss this matter. ”

Chu Xun was deeply shocked, and said in his heart where was his well-behaved and obedient baby daughter, who was the most loved by him?

However, when I looked closely into my daughter's eyes, I found that her eyes were clear, and there was a vague seriousness and devotion that I had never seen before.
