I don't know if it's the efficacy of the pill, Emperor Jingfeng has been approving the excerpts for nearly three hours in a row, and he doesn't see half of his tiredness, and he even has a tendency to continue to approve, and he looks quite good.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Yan still accompanied him silently, either grinding ink, or reading and writing official documents in front of the small table set up by Emperor Jingfeng, without any impatient complaints, and his temperament was calm and gentle.

Looking at Cheng Yan's quiet appearance, Emperor Jingfeng appreciated it in his heart and said: "I have detained Cheng Qing in the imperial study for half a day, it's not early, Cheng Qing should go back and rest early." ”

Cheng Yan stood up respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty pay attention to the dragon body, don't be too tired, Weichen will retire." ”

Seeing that he didn't forget to care about himself before leaving, Emperor Jingfeng felt even more ironing in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Well, let's go, tomorrow after lunch, I will come to the imperial study to accompany the pen and ink as usual." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

Outside the door of the imperial study, a little eunuch standing on duty was in good spirits and yawned boredly. Suddenly he heard a sound at the door, and before he could stand up straight and correct his posture, he bumped into Master Cheng's young and handsome face.

Cheng Yan smiled mildly and bowed slightly at him, which was regarded as a greeting.

The little eunuch has been a servant in the palace, and he has not been greeted by any dignitary, I don't know if it is out of the discomfort of being respected, or because he was not seriously caught when he stood guard, he blushed all of a sudden, and subconsciously took two steps back, but was stopped by Cheng Yan again:

"Father-in-law beware. There was a light rain in the morning, and the road was a little slippery, so my father-in-law watched his feet and didn't want to fall. ”

“…… Yes? Thank you Cheng for reminding me ......"

The little eunuch looked down, only to find that he had stepped on a puddle of stagnant water, and it took him a long time to react to thank him, but when he looked up, he found that Cheng Yan had already walked away.

The companion next to him saw him staring blankly at the direction Cheng Yan left, and he didn't come back to his senses, and shouted, "Hey! Master Cheng has gone away, what else are you looking at? Later, when I am seen by Father-in-law Ning, I will have to punish you again! ”

"No, I didn't see anything...... the little eunuch pulled back his thoughts and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Lord Fang Cai wanted me to nod and say hello, and reminded me to pay attention to my step, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have never seen such a good official." ”

The companion put on a very familiar look, and said proudly: "That's because you just transferred to the imperial study as an errand and don't understand, Lord Cheng has always been like this, whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, he is polite to whoever he sees, I have never seen him blushing with anyone." ”

The little eunuch sighed when he heard this: "I heard early in the morning that Master Cheng of the Hanlin Academy has a good temper, but now when I see it, he really looks like a person, he is the same on the outside and on the inside, and he is a gentle gentleman inside and outside." ”

The companion took it for granted: "It's nature!" Master Cheng is the champion of the first class, character, appearance, morality, and talent are all excellent, he was born in poverty, and he can better understand the difficulties of the people below, never put on a shelf, no one does not praise him! Otherwise, there are so many officials in the Hanlin Academy, except for Lord Cheng, can you see who else His Majesty called to the imperial study to serve in Mo? ”

"I heard Your Majesty personally say that among the officials of the scriptures and banquets over the years, Lord Cheng has spoken the best, whipping into the inside, from shallow to deep, once I followed His Majesty to listen to the scriptures, even I understood, it can be seen how well Lord Cheng spoke!"

The little eunuch nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder everyone outside now says that Lord Cheng's holy favor is in Zhenglong, and he can already be regarded as a minister of His Majesty's cronies, today is to accompany the pen and ink in the imperial study, and tomorrow I may have to enter the sixth ministry to serve in important positions, I am afraid that it will not take long to enter the cabinet!" ”

The companion chatted attentively, and there was no taboo in his mouth for a while, and he said unashamedly: "If you want me to say, it has to be an official like Lord Cheng to be worthy of being called a virtuous minister, not only is he talented, he can share his worries for His Majesty, but also stand upright, loyal to the monarch and the country, and never go along with those people." ”

The little eunuch heard some legendary gossip from somewhere, and he beautified it in his mind, and said with some emotion: "Master Cheng came from a humble background, and the road to study was extremely difficult. ”

"Thanks to His Majesty's discernment and talent, he discovered the dusty gold of Lord Cheng, and under the pressure of a group of old-fashioned old ministers, he raised Lord Cheng to the first place in the first class and named him the champion."

"And Lord Cheng, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness, is even more loyal and conscientious, but whenever His Majesty is in need, he can always propose a good solution. With such a wise monarch and virtuous ministers, my Great Xia will definitely be able to prosper...... Ouch! ”

The little eunuch was expressing his emotion in a bold voice, but he was slapped in the back of the head, and he grinned in pain. When he turned his head to look, he found that Ning Fuhai was standing behind him with a calm face, and the two eunuchs were suddenly frightened and shrunk into a quail: "Father-in-law Ning......"

Ning Fuhai grimaced and scolded: "It's just that you two are not good at being on duty, you dare to hide and chat here, and even chew the tongue of Your Majesty and Lord Cheng." The affairs of the courtiers of the Son of Heaven can only be discussed casually by you inferior slaves? Go get thirty prototypes yourself! ”

Thirty hand boards, isn't it that the hand is swollen for several days and can't be eliminated?

The two little eunuchs looked bitter and prayed: "Father-in-law Ning spared us, we won't dare to do it in the future, just chatted a few words, it has long been spread outside, there are people in and outside the palace, let's talk casually, right?" ”

Ning Fuhai said: "Others say that it is someone else's business, but you are on an errand in the imperial study, and the people who are waiting in front of Your Majesty do not know the taboo on your lips, and you accidentally anger Your Majesty, do you think you can have good fruits to eat?" The reason for beating your hand board today is to let you have a long memory, otherwise you won't even understand how you lost your life another day! ”

Seeing that the two of them still didn't move, Ning Fuhai's voice was fierce: "What, do you want me to change the thirty hand board to the thirty hip cane?" ”

"Don't don't, Grandpa Ning, let's go, let's go!" The two little eunuchs didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore, so they hurriedly took the punishment.

After the two eunuchs left, Ning Fuhai's expression eased slightly, remembering the words of the two just now, and his eyes were complicated for a while.

Since Cheng Yan was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin two years ago, he has obviously more opportunities to contact the Son of Heaven, in addition to lecturing at banquets, he also often drafts edicts, and recently he has even been called to the imperial study every day to accompany the pen and ink, which is simply a favor.

But is Cheng Yan really a virtuous minister as rumored? Ning Fuhai was not sure.

Ning Fuhai didn't know much about government affairs and state affairs, but in the end, he was an old man who followed Emperor Jingfeng, and he was somewhat familiar with it. He believed that when Emperor Jingfeng served the Dan today, if Zhou Minqing, Jia Daoheng and others were present, they would definitely try their best to dissuade them, even if they provoked Emperor Jingfeng's anger and took a beating, they would never flinch.

Instead of being like Cheng Yan, when he saw that Emperor Jingfeng didn't like it, he immediately shut up with interest and didn't spoil his interest.

Like what you like, what you like when you are evil - maybe you are a capable minister, but you may not be virtuous.

Looking at the direction in which Cheng Yan left, Ning Fuhai sighed, turned around and went back slowly.
