Yingzhou and his party were personally promoted by Emperor Liang and attached great importance to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Chu Nan entered the palace, it was not surprising that Li Renxiao, the head of the great eunuch, led him into the palace.
However, what made Chu Nan a little strange was that today's Li Renxiao was not at all cordial and kind as before, and there was a vague sense of vigilance and vigilance in his politeness.
Looking at the majestic palace, behind the dense palace, there seem to be countless sword and axe hands hidden, and there seems to be a trace of murderous aura in the air.
Chu Nan silently walked on the empty palace avenue.
In the past few days since he left, there must have been something in the capital that he didn't know.
........................ Li Renxiao didn't give any hints this time, and stepped aside after sending Chu Nan to the imperial study.
Inside, Chu Nan unsurprisingly saw Emperor Liang and Zhang Hai.
Emperor Liang seemed to be a little tired, and had been frowning and watching the twists and turns, although the majesty was still there, but it inevitably showed a little bit of aging.
Zhang Hai glanced at Chu Nan and nodded slightly as a greeting.
Chu Nan chuckled lightly in his heart, probably to dry himself for a while and give himself a little dismount.
After half an hour, Emperor Liang seemed to have finally thought through an extremely difficult question, glanced at Chu Nan, and said lightly: "The matter of Yingzhou...... How's it going?"
Chu Nan bowed his head slightly, and briefly told the matter of Yingzhou.
Things are actually going well, and they should be able to satisfy Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang didn't have much of a happy expression, he still looked unpredictable, and sighed and said: "Some people, even if they die, will not change...... Some people, but change too fast......"
Chu Nan doesn't know why, what won't change is probably to say that the great master of Fusang Mountain, who is he talking about if he changes too fast?
Emperor Liang didn't mean to explain, his fingers rhythmically tapped the wide bookcase, his eyes glanced at the stack of folds, and asked casually: "Who did you see when you went to Yingzhou?"
Chu Nan thought for a moment and said softly, "I saw the Great Grandmaster...... There are also many disciples of Fusang Mountain...... Helan Mountain has also invited his ministers to the City Lord's Mansion several times...... "Did you go?"
"No ......"
"Why not?"
Chu Nan pursed his lips and said slowly, "Your Majesty just asked me to ask the Great Grandmaster to come down the mountain...... I don't know how to deal with the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't want to take matters into account, just in case something goes wrong......"
"Oh......" Emperor Liang chuckled, seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Nan's low profile, and said lightly: "You should go and see ............"
Chu Nan lowered his head and whispered as an accusation.
Emperor Liang didn't blame Chu Nan, he gently patted the stack of folds on the bookcase, sighed and said, "Yingzhou and his party, you can make a difference...... But ......"
Chu Nan was just about to humble himself and excuse himself, but when he heard that sentence, he stopped again.
"But...... I can't reward you now......" Emperor Liang looked at Chu Nan, as if observing Chu Nan's reaction, and then lowered his head slightly, and said lightly: "The nearest capital ...... It's a bit messy...... This time, make a note first, and wait for the northwest to happen, and then calculate it together......"
Chu Nan looked at the stack of folds on the table that had been pressed by Emperor Liang under his hands, held back the feeling of irritability in his heart, and bowed his head and said yes.
Emperor Liang chuckled, changed the topic, and asked, "How is the old lady doing?"
Chu Nan was stunned, shook his head and said, "Minister...... I don't know ......."
Emperor Liang frowned, and seemed to be a little unhappy, "You must be benevolent for the king, loyal to the ministers, and filial piety for the people! Don't be busy going back to the northwest first, go to the Chu family to visit the old lady first! Just go tomorrow...... Remember to help me say hello to the old lady!"
Chu Nan retired with doubts.
........................ Chu Nan's identity is different now, and his relationship with the Chu family is a little strange, so he can't be too eager to go to the Chu family.
The key is that I still can't guess Emperor Liang's whimsical instructions.
However, one thing is certain, things are by no means as simple as they seem, and there must be undercurrents surging in the capital that they don't know.
Returning to Furong Street, I stayed with Yangmei and Guan He for a while, and casually asked about the recent movements in the capital.
Guan He hung on Chu Nan's body, drew a circle on Chu Nan's chest, and said with a chuckle: "A few days ago, Sister Chu Yue went crazy at a poetry meeting...... I humiliated those talented people and made a lot of fun......"
"Oh......" Chu Nan asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Guan He was more familiar with these things, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Chu family has spread the news that they are going to choose a son-in-law for Yue'er...... Of course, all kinds of people who think they have some capital are impatient, and Chao Yue'er leans over to show their performance...... Yue'er seemed to be unhappy, and refuted the talents who came to show their talents one by one to nothing, and then wrote four big characters with both hands on the spot, and left the scene angrily......"
Chu Nan shook his head and chuckled, and asked, "What is the word?"
Yang Mei was also very clear about this matter, and said with a smile: "This is the most interesting point...... The four words written by Yue'er were not even recognized by the talented people present, and they were embarrassed to death...... In the end, it was the scholar of Su University, who studied the ancient seal, who recognized it......"
"Let's go to school!"
Guan He couldn't help but solve the mystery first, leaned on Chu Nan's shoulder and laughed, and said, "Husband doesn't know...... The faces of the talented people present at that time were all green, and the grizzled ones were speechless, and now they have become a big joke in the capital...... Hehe...... Sister Chu Yue is really majestic, and now that a group of talented people don't have the face to get together to hold a poetry meeting...... You have to be laughed at on the streets......"
Chu Nan held down Guan He, who was taking the opportunity to rub oil while laughing and trembling, smiled and frowned: "Yue'er is messing around...... It's a bit excessive......"
The so-called talent, in fact, is secondary, mixed is a reputation, holding a poetry meeting to praise each other, attracting the attention of the next world, is the most effective means, now Chu Yue is making such a fuss, not only a slap in the face, but also a way to cut off people's lives.
Yangmei was familiar with Chu Yue, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, some people in the Chu family want to exchange Yue'er's family affairs for some benefits...... The old lady didn't nod, and Yue'er was pushed out like a cargo, of course she had to be angry......"
It was not difficult for Chu Nan to guess who "some people" were, and he didn't bother to ask, so he frowned and said, "Old lady...... How's it going?"
Yang Mei was stunned, a little guilty: "There is no news circulating on the street......
said that he was a little aggrieved, and said in a low voice: "You are not here, and it is not good for me to go to the Chu family...... I went there last time, I didn't see the old lady, and I was ...... I hung it for most of the day, and it was noon and I was sent off again......"
Chu Nan has nothing to do with the Chu family, Chu Mad also has to be stationed in the northwest, no one in the Chu family has anything to rob Chu An, Emperor Liang's suspicion of Chu Nan is not a secret to many people, and it is not much of a surprise that Yangmei went to be snubbed.
Chu Nan comforted Yangmei softly, then lifted it away, pressed Guan He, whose face was as beautiful as peach blossoms, and asked softly: "Has there been any change in the court......
Thinking of Emperor Liang's subordinates, he added: "Is there another big move in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Guan He stopped rubbing and teasing Chu Nan, and quietly shrank in Chu Nan's arms.
Yangmei also sensed that Chu Nan probably saw something abnormal, and thought about it carefully before saying, "...... On West Street, a few Hu people were killed as Zhan Xi Dang Street, and a few ran away...... Several streets have been sealed, and it seems that ...... haven't been caught yet."
Chu Nan frowned and thought about it, but he didn't have a clue.
Yang Mei thought about it seriously and said softly: "There seems to be nothing abnormal in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, anyway, every time there is a big war, someone comes out to be a rebellious minister...... The court seems to be very calm, but a certain member of the Ministry of Rites seems to have committed a crime, and Lord Sun of the Ministry of Rites has been reprimanded by His Majesty for a long time and fined for two years......"
It sounded like the court was calm recently.
During the Great War, it was too normal to catch a few and kill a few or even kill a few Hu people by mistake.
A petty official of the Ministry of Rites committed an accident, and Sun Cao was taught a lesson, which is also uncommon in the court, and after all, the Ministry of Rites is not as important as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, so it does not have much impact.
However, Chu Nan remembered Emperor Liang's frowning brows and the stack of folds pressed by his subordinates, and he didn't think that Emperor Liang was acting deeply in front of him.
Yang Mei frowned when she saw Chu Nan, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?"
Chu Nan smiled, took out Guan He's little hand from his arms, shook it at Yangmei, and said, "I'm thinking, how to deal with this little **......"
Guan He's face was shy, and he smiled with a dull head.
Yangmei is not blind, and where can she not see Guan He's innocent appearance, and she forgot the topic just now, so she walked over and pinched Guan He, walked outside, and snorted coldly: "Hmph...... I'll give it to you first...... At night...... But my ......"
Chu Nan was stunned, and looked at Yangmei who went out in a panic in surprise.
It took a long time before Chu Nan lowered his head and smiled at Guan He, ignoring Guan He's fake resistance and exclamation, and picked up and walked towards the back room.
.................................... Although Emperor Liang seemed to be just saying it casually, it was reasonable to really say the edict.
The next day, Chu Nan took Yangmei to Chu's house.
In the past few days, Chu Nan has been running back and forth, always a little tired, and has been tossed by the two women in the family several times, yawning all the way.
When he got out of the car, Chu Nan deliberately pretended to be soft and stumbled, which made Yangmei's face red and red, and he leaned over and pinched and scolded.
Before coming, Yangmei had already sent someone to greet her in advance, and in order to prevent any gossip from circulating, she also raised the banner of Emperor Liang's edict.
After all, Yang Mei and Chu Nan are considered juniors, and it is impossible to expect the Chu family and others to greet them.
The people of the Chu family also had a good manners, and under the leadership of the housekeeper Fu Bo, they stood in two rows outside the door to greet Chu Nan and Yangmei.
Fu Bo was very close to Chu Nan and Yangmei, not the kind of hypocritical politeness, he turned slightly sideways to lead the way in front, and said softly: "Young master and young lady...... The Lord, the Lady and the Lady are all waiting in front......"
Chu Nan was surprised in his heart, frowned, and asked, "The military department should be very busy, right?"
Fu Bo explained with a smile: "Your Majesty understands the hard work of the master, and today I specially granted a day of rest......"
Chu Nan's heart shook slightly, his face was a little complicated, come by yourself, Chu Yuan is on vacation, is it just a coincidence?
