After the prince and the prince met that day, they immediately sent someone to find Zhu Chengming and asked him to come to the prince's mansion tomorrow afternoon.

Zhu Chengming knew that it was Mrs. Wu who sent someone to invite, and he was overjoyed, usually he wanted to visit Mrs. Wu, but there was no way, and now Mrs. Wu personally invited him, which is simply a great thing.

The next day, Zhu Chengming came to the Taigong Mansion at the appointed time, and the people in the mansion led him to the hall to meet Wu Taifu and the crown prince Li Minghao.

Zhu Chengming found that in addition to Mrs. Wu, there was also a prince, and he was surprised and said, "See the prince!" See Mrs. Wu! ”

Li Minghao glanced at him, and said with a little disdain: "A few days ago, my brother Jing Wangfu must have misunderstood. On that day, I called my brother temporarily to discuss the matter. ”

Zhu Chengming kept bending over and saluting, "Since it is summoned by the prince, it must be more important." "A submissive look.

Although Tai Fu Gong didn't like this person, he was still polite in etiquette, "You can sit down first." ”

"Mrs. Xie Wu, Prince Xie." After that, Zhu Chengming sat aside.

Seeing him sit down, Taifu Gong said, "Although the little marquis didn't see you, you shouldn't talk nonsense. ”

Hearing that Mrs. Wu blamed himself, Zhu Chengming hurriedly got up and explained: "The contemptible people also went with some sincerity, it is true that the attitude of the subordinates in the little marquis's mansion is too bad, and the contemptible people ......are quick to talk at this time."

Tai Fu Gong didn't want to say anything more, "I see, this matter is over here, what about you, don't talk around anymore." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Wu did not pursue it, Zhu Chengming said again: "Yes, yes, I will never mention this matter again after being contemptible." Although he said this, he still wanted to ask for some other benefits in his heart, "but this matter is not contemptible alone, but I am afraid of ......."

Tai Fu Gong thought to himself, this Zhu Chengming is really a scoundrel, "So what?" ”

Zhu Chengming looked at Mrs. Wu, this tone should still be unwilling to be friends with him, and then looked at the prince, and he didn't want to pay attention to himself, "I want to ask the prince, that day, the little marquis, is it true or false that the filial piety of the above in Yaji?" "Thinking that this is the case, it is better to try to contact the little marquis again, maybe there are still some opportunities.

"Of course it's true, my brother is only eight years old, what can I do to Mr. Shang." Li Minghao really didn't want to say anything more to this person.

Zhu Chengming thought about it carefully and said cautiously: "The contemptible person has no other intentions, he just wants to meet the little marquis." ”

Hearing this, Li Minghao frowned, his expression was very displeased, "Zhu Chengming, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Chengming saw that the prince was angry, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The contemptible people have indeed admired the little marquis for a long time, and he is sincere. ”

Although Li Minghao was angry, seeing him like this, he could only sigh in his heart, this kind of splashing skin is really difficult.

Taifu Gong was on the side, "Zhu Chengming, what does it matter if the little marquis sees you or not?" ”

"Mrs. Wu, the contemptible person only asks the little marquis to be on the side, and I will deal with the rest." Zhu Chengming's tone was slightly tough.

Seeing this situation, Li Minghao was really helpless, "Wait for me and my brother to inform me about this matter, and then talk about it." ”

Zhu Chengming saw that his goal had been achieved, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, prince!" Thank you, Mrs. Wu! ”

After Zhu Chengming left, the prince and the prince chatted.

"This Zhu Chengming is a scoundrel!" Tai Fu Gong said angrily.

"Yes, Tai Fu Gong should not be angry with this person. It's just that I have to talk to my brother about it. Li Minghao said.

Tai Fu Gong sighed lightly, "Well, I have to ask again, is there any way to find out the eyeliner around the prince." "Since Li Mingyuan has responded to this matter, he should still have a later deployment.

"Okay, Tai Fu Gong, I'll go right away."

In the palace of King Jing that day.

Li Mingyuan was also worried, how to pass on the news of the broken sleeve to Taishi Liang, if it was spread at will, firstly, it would indeed damage the face of the royal family, and secondly, Taishi Liang would not necessarily believe it.

As he was thinking, an attendant came in with tea, and Li Mingyuan looked up and saw that it was the person in the palace who drove those scribes that day.

This man is usually sneaky, and often takes the opportunity to get close to him, as if he is looking for something. Could it be that he is Taishi Liang's eyeliner, if you can find out some details of this person, it should be better confirmed. Thinking that this person is in the palace, it seems that he can only ask the prince.

After a while, I heard the guards report that the prince was coming.

After inviting the prince to the study, Li Mingyuan asked directly: "Prince, I came here today, but what is the progress?" ”

"I asked Taifu Gong to help my brother investigate, that person's name is Zhu Chengming, it's really a trouble." The crown prince Li Minghao frowned, looking helpless.

"Oh? Zhu Chengming? Li Mingyuan asked.

"Well, one of the people who came to make trouble that day was Zhu Chengming, and he also led this incident." Li Minghao said.

"Oh......" Li Mingyuan leaned back, and seemed to be a little interested in this Zhu Chengming.

"Just now, I persuaded Taifu Gong with good words, but this person has to see his brother."

A smile flashed at the corner of Li Mingyuan's mouth, "Okay, let him come to see me, I also happen to have something to find him." ”

"So, my brother answered? That Zhu Chengming is a scoundrel. Li Minghao kindly reminded.

"I'm also good at dealing with these scoundrels." Li Mingyuan is true, he has indeed seen a lot of scoundrels.

Li Minghao paused, "Okay, then I'll bring him over tomorrow." ”

"Well, though, I'm worried that the prince will come to me too often and will arouse suspicion." Li Mingyuan thought for a moment, "It's better for us to meet outside and bring him in disguise." ”

After hearing this, Li Minghao seemed to be a little more vigilant against his brother, "I can't see it, my brother is quite cautious." ”

Li Mingyuan heard the meaning behind the prince's words, and he said meaningfully: "Since my father was imprisoned in the palace, I have been like this for many years, if it is not like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to live to the capital." ”

Now the situation in the palace, Li Minghao is naturally clearer, "Alas......" He sighed deeply.

"By the way, can the prince help me inquire about someone?" Li Mingyuan continued.

"Who?"

"It's the palace attendant who had a conflict with the scribe that day, I suspect that he is the eyeliner of Taishi Liang, but there is no empirical evidence now, can you help me find out, who he used to work under and who he usually obeys."

"This is easy, as long as you know his surname, you can find out his news." Li Minghao remembered the eyeliner asked by Taifu Gongrang again, "Oh, by the way, my brother said that I also have eyeliner around me, so how to solve this?" ”

Li Mingyuan pondered for a long time, "At present, only when I see this Zhu Chengming can I know how to discuss the plan for the future. ”

Li Minghao paused for a moment, "Okay, then, someone will inform me." ”

"Don't worry, prince, I will definitely find out this eyeliner!" Li Mingyuan's words were extremely resolute.

Li Minghao seems to have some trust in his brother, "Well, I believe in my brother!" ”

In the palace today.

After Gonggong Liu asked where Zhu Chengming was currently located, he sent his subordinates to take him to the main hall.

"Zhu Chengming, when you go to the main hall in a while, don't talk nonsense, you will answer whatever the emperor asks." Huang Gonggong, who was leading the way, said.

"Yes, yes...... The contemptible will do it! Zhu Chengming said tremblingly.

He will still be like a dream, how can he get to the palace, and he will see the emperor soon. He is afraid that he will only have this one chance to see the emperor in his life, and his excitement is mixed with fear.

Back to the Jingwang Mansion a few days ago.

Avoiding the eyeliner in the palace, Chen Chong led Zhu Chengming in through the back door and into the study.

"Zhu Chengming, haven't you always wanted to see me?" Li Mingyuan sat at his desk and asked with a majestic expression.

"Little Hou Ye, he is really handsome and chic! A table of talents! Extraordinary. When Zhu Chengming saw Li Mingyuan, his heart was full of joy, and he immediately complimented.

Li Mingyuan has also seen a lot of these sloppy people, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Little Hou Ye is really a talent of Yiqun!" Zhu Chengming is still a compliment.

Li Mingyuan frowned, this person, except for flattery, won't he say anything else?

Zhu Chengming looked at Li Mingyuan's expression, this little marquis didn't seem to be interested in others patting him, so he said again: "Little marquis, I heard a few days ago that you met Fang Xiaozhi in Yaji, so I have always wanted to visit you. ”

This Zhu Chengming knew that Li Mingyuan would not be in the capital for a long time, if he could make friends with him, it would naturally be very good, even if he couldn't make friends, it would be good to be able to recognize more royal relatives and nobles.

"It was pure luck that day." Li Mingyuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, "I said, Zhu Chengming, are you interested in entering the palace to see the emperor?" ”

"The Emperor...... Emperor? Zhu Chengming tilted his head back sharply and asked in surprise.

"Yes, see the emperor." Li Mingyuan repeated.

"Contempt...... Contemptible people have this opportunity. Although he said so, Zhu Chengming's heart was happy at this time, and sure enough, he saw that Li Mingyuan was right.

"Then I'll give you this opportunity, didn't you say that someone in my house drove you away a few days ago? When the time comes, go to the emperor, and you will tell you everything about the day. ”

Zhu Chengming thought that he was going to the emperor to cure his crimes, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "This ...... The contemptible people were quick to talk at that time, and I hope that the little marquis can be an adult and not remember the villain! "He just wanted to put some pressure and bargain.

"I didn't blame you, it was indeed the people in my house who drove people first, if you see the emperor, just say it."

"Little Marquis, contemptible...... This," Zhu Chengming didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Li Mingyuan gourd, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Mingyuan wanted to tone better and let him enter the palace to face the saint, but he kept doing this, that. Is this Zhu Chengming pretending to be stupid with me? So he threatened him loudly: "Enter the palace to face the saint and say everything you should say, I will naturally be rewarded, but if you want to hide the truth, it is the crime of bullying the king, but you will be beheaded all over the house!" ”

As soon as Zhu Chengming heard that he was going to be beheaded all over the house, he knelt on the ground with weak legs and begged for mercy loudly: "Little Marquis, you spare me, the contemptible person is really blind, talking nonsense, and offending you." ”
