A transaction was completed in the cup change, Chen Kan was drunk, and Gu Cheng was also drunk.

Of course, both of them pretended, Gu Cheng, as a veteran of the wine field, how could he be drunk by Chen Kan so easily.

As for why Chen Kan pretended to be drunk, the main reason was that he couldn't drink it anymore, and he really couldn't drink a little more.

He doesn't like the feeling of drinking until he vomits, and after vomiting, his entire mouth is filled with a foul smell.

Refused to stay overnight with the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion in Zhenyuan, Zhang San and Fang Xu forcibly dragged Chen Kan, who was drunk and crazy, out of the Hou Mansion.

The old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion sent Chen Kan out of the mansion, turned around to support Gu Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you are drunk, the old slave will send you to rest." ”

Gu Cheng shook his head vigorously, and his eyes regained clarity.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper showed a strange look on his face, he had followed Gu Cheng for almost thirty years, and he had never seen Gu Cheng broken.

"Whew!"

Gu Chang let out a sigh of relief and asked lightly, "Mingyuan, what do you think of this?" ”

Mingyuan is the word of the old housekeeper, and the three of them drank to the fullest, and it was he who took over the task of Gu Xingzu's wine.

Hearing this, he looked at the direction in which Chen Kan was leaving, and responded: "Far better than his father." ”

"Oh?"

Gu Cheng asked with interest: "Mingyuan has such a high opinion of this son?" ”

Thirty years of friendship between master and servant, the old housekeeper is nominally a housekeeper, but in fact he is like a brother to Gu Cheng.

At the same time, he is also Gu Cheng's most relied on strategist.

The old housekeeper continued: "Chen Huan is a person with a high heart and arrogance, although he has made great achievements, but he does not know how to make a living, and finally ends up in a different place, after all, he can't escape the name of a reckless man, this son is scheming, far from being comparable to Chen Huan, Master Hou, I have a hunch that this son will become a ...... in the future."

When the old butler said this, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, and then continued: "Whether it is an opponent or a loyal minister, you and I can't see it." ”

Gu Cheng thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's his business, what the old man wants is that the inheritance of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will never be extinct." ”

"As for those things that can't be seen, let's talk about them in the future, no matter what, compared to the decline of the old man in the Zhenyuan Marquis, it is now the best result."

"Yes!"

The two played dumb riddles for a while, and Gu Cheng picked up Gu Xingzu, who was already drunk and unconscious, and a hint of pampering flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

He easily picked up Gu Xingzu, and he couldn't tell that this was already an old man who was over the age of old.

...

When Chen Kan returned to the post station, the first thing he did was to rinse his mouth with green salt.

Anyone who drinks a lot of alcohol knows that if you don't rinse your mouth in time after drinking, when you wake up the next day, the smell in your mouth is enough to make you want to die.

Fang Xu temporarily acted as a subordinate to take care of Chen Kan, and when he saw Chen Kan spit out the salt water in his mouth, he couldn't help but be curious: "My lord, why do you have to go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to drink this wine?" ”

Chen Kan doesn't like to drink, Fang Xu, the personal guard, is naturally clear, in his opinion, Gu Cheng is just an old man who is about to die.

Gu Cheng kicked his feet, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion also declined, besides, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is far away in Guizhou, and his own adults are destined to live in the temple, what is the point of winning over a Hou Mansion that is about to fall apart?

"Gollum... he... tui！ ”

Chen Kan squirted out a mouthful of water and turned his head to look at Fang Xu, although he didn't want to admit it, but in fact, a simple-minded person like Fang Xu was the most suitable person to make a heart.

After looking at Fang Xu for a while, looking at him inexplicably, Chen Kan said lightly: "Go and ask Wang Long and Li Hu to come and see me!" ”

"Oh!"

Fang Xu nodded, turned around and trotted away with an inexplicable expression.

After a while, Wang Lung and Li Hu came to Chen Kan's room together and asked respectfully, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

Chen Kan squinted at Fang Xu, Fang Xu scratched his head, exited the door with interest, and personally guarded the gate to prevent people from approaching.

Chen Kan quietly looked at Wang Long and Li Hu standing in front of him.

These two people are the old team that came over from Jinyiwei, and when they were squeezed out by Ji Gang to take over the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, these two people also loyally followed him to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

They have lived and died together several times, so they can be trusted in terms of loyalty.

Seeing that Chen Kan didn't speak, the two glanced at each other, and Wang Lung asked: "My lord, if there is any task to be assigned to the brothers, please give instructions, go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and the brothers will definitely not frown." ”

Chen Kan seemed to want to keep the faces of the two in his heart, no matter how they asked for help, Chen Kan just didn't speak.

It wasn't until the hearts of the two of them gradually sank to the bottom that Chen Kan slowly asked, "Can I trust you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Lung and Li Hu were confused, and they didn't understand why adults would ask such a simple question.

Wang Lung frowned and said: "My lord, my subordinates are heartfelt to my lord, my subordinate mother's mother was seriously ill, if it weren't for the fact that my lord got money from King Jin and distributed it to his subordinates, so that his subordinates had money to invite Lang Zhong to treat his illness, my mother was afraid that her soul would have returned to Jiuquan a long time ago, and since then, this life of her subordinates is that of an adult." ”

Loyalty was expressed by Wang Long, and Li Hu had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "I am the same." ”

"Not to mention, the adults later changed their tricks to distribute money to their subordinates, so that the children of their subordinates had ...... books to read."

"I'm the same!"

"That's it!"

Chen Kan raised his hand to stop Wang Long's intention to continue to show his loyalty, and said lightly: "You have followed this official for the longest time, and this official now has something to do for you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The subordinates will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire."

Chen Kan stopped: "It's not that serious, it's just that the official made a deal with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and let him reserve two hundred positions for the official in the army." ”

Wang Lung suddenly said, "What do you mean? ”

"This officer is not interesting, you went to the army to do a good job."

The two said in a deep voice: "The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of adults!" ”

"Go ahead!"

...

The next day, Chen Kan still set off early.

Chen Kan walked in the front with a horse, beside him was Chen An, who was full of entanglement, and the two imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate.

The evasive street sign was raised high, so that the pedestrian caravan on the entire official road avoided this team of more than 300 people like a snake and scorpion.

Chen Kan looked at the expressions of Chen An and the three imperial historians, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Chen Yushi, the folds on his face can crush walnuts." ”

Chen An smiled bitterly: "My lord, I don't have a backache when I stand and talk." ”

Chen Kan said without restraint: "No way, who let this official have a great teacher and a father-in-law who is a long live lord." ”

"My lord, you are cautious, how can you arrange Your Majesty's ...... so casually"

If Chen An hadn't understood Chen Kan's temper, he would have started to prepare for impeachment a long time ago.

After a few laughs, Chen Kan said bluntly: "How is it, how are you thinking about it?" ”

Chen An showed a helpless look on his face, and did not talk at the first time.

Leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate and go to serve in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. It's easy to say, but it takes a bit of courage to make this decision.

That is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the most noble yamen in the entire court.

Although the official position is not high, when it comes to the locality, even if it is a four-rank prefect, it is a head shorter than a seven-rank imperial history.

Not to mention that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has great power, not only the right to hear the news, but also the right to supervise the officials of the world, which is really an official position that is not changed for a prefect.

No matter how many officials wanted to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they could not get in.

And they went in, and now they have to come out on their own, isn't that a thing.

Seeing the tangled look on Chen An's face, Chen Kan didn't urge.

How can there be a stupid person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is because the price he gave is not high enough.

However, the price that Chen Kan can give is only the deputy of the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, as soon as he came to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, he wanted to replace the positions of Zhang Yong, Xu Yuan, Shi Wen, Yao Chi, Zheng Song and others, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

They are still struggling now, but they just feel that they still have a choice, and when the Jingshi lets them understand Chen Ying's horror, are they afraid that they won't cry and shout and beg for their own action?

......

......

After the end of today's court meeting, Zhu Di separately summoned the new Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Fang Xiaoru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to enter the hall for discussion.

It's still for the sake of giving the Warat a knighthood.

Since the last time he was in the main hall, Xie Jin vetoed the matter of conferring knighthoods on Mahamu's two younger brothers, and this matter has not been brought to the table.

And today, the reason why Zhu Di specially summoned the two Shangshu to discuss the matter was because he received an urgent report from the north.

In the Fengtian Hall, in addition to Zhu Di and the two Shangshu bosses, there was also a young official sitting on the side and writing hard.

The young official is naturally Yang Shiqi.

Soon after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he set up an organization to help him deal with government affairs, called the cabinet, and Yang Shiqi was the first batch of cabinet members.

In addition to him, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Hu Guang, Yang Rong, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi and other six people also entered the cabinet.

However, the role of the cabinet now is only to assist Zhu Di in handling government affairs, and it does not need so many people to be present at the same time, but rotates every day, and today it happens to be Yang Shiqi's turn.

In addition to helping Zhu Di deal with government affairs, cabinet members also serve as part-time writers, that is, to record Zhu Di's conversations with ministers and deliver them to the Hanlin Academy.

Fang Xiaoru and Song Li looked at the fold carefully, for fear of missing a word on it, so Zhu Di waited silently for the two to finish reading the fold.

A moment later, Fang Xiaoru handed the fold back to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di asked lightly: "Fang Qing, Song Qing, do you two think that there is a need to mention the matter of giving the Lord Warat Department again?" ”

Fang Xiaoru pondered for a moment, then looked at Song Li, and arched his hand: "Lord Song, what do you think about the civil strife in the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" ”

Song Li is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, specializing in diplomatic etiquette and other matters, and now seeing that Fang Xiaoru threw the problem to himself, he was not stage frightened, and arched his hand to Zhu Di and said: "If what is said in the report is true, the minister thinks that this matter has reached an imminent juncture, and then it will be handed over to the court, I am afraid that it will ......."
