On the stone table in this courtyard, there were teapots and teacups, which Chu Mo drank when he was tired of practicing martial arts.

When the guard next to him heard his order, he hurriedly poured a cup of tea and respectfully handed it to Hong Sifeng.

Hong Sifeng was a little frightened, glanced at Chu Mo cautiously, and saw Chu Mo nodding, he took the teacup embarrassedly.

After drinking it all, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tiredness on my face was also eliminated a lot.

Since being summoned by Emperor Chu one after another, this Hong Sifeng has also seen that today's prince is no longer what it used to be.

So more or less, he also began to favor Chu Mo, and Chu Mo naturally knew how to be grateful.

Take today's incident as an example, Emperor Chu just asked him to invite Chu Mo into the palace, but Hong Sifeng knew that Chu Mo was included in a book by three Wenyuan Pavilion university scholars, and he was worried about Chu Mo in his heart, so he ran to the prince's mansion in one go.

If Chu Mo can't see this, then he has too little eyesight.

People who care about themselves so much are naturally worthy of this cup of tea from the Prince's Mansion.

Just when Hong Sifeng was drinking tea, Chu Mo took a handkerchief from the side, wiped the sweat beads on his face briefly, and saw that Hong Sifeng rested for a while before he turned around and walked to the door.

"Father-in-law Hong, let's enter the palace now. ”

Hong Sifeng agreed, and hurriedly followed, but reminded him in a low voice beside him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Majesty is in a hurry to summon you. But I'm not in a hurry for this moment, or Your Highness, you should go and wash up first, change into clean clothes, and then go to see Your Majesty?"

It can be seen that this Hong Sifeng smelled the smell of sweat on his body, and he was afraid that if he entered the palace, he would provoke the handle again, and he was used by the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion to play on the topic, saying that he was disrespectful to His Majesty.

But Chu Mo didn't care at all, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said solemnly: "No need, Lone just entered the palace like this." ”

Hong Sifeng wanted to persuade a few more words, but Chu Mo had already walked towards the gate, so he had to hurriedly follow. Then he got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

In order to protect Chu Mo's safety, Li Jin also followed him into the palace, and when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Li Jin stopped and watched Chu Mo and Hong Sifeng walk in.

At this moment, Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu and the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion were still waiting in the imperial study.

Emperor Chu was okay, he could sit, as for the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, they stood in the imperial study for nearly an hour, and Emperor Chu also pretended not to see them, and was stunned not to give them a seat.

He was also angry in his heart, his favorite prince had finally become a talent, and these old things came to make stumbling blocks again, and it would be good if he didn't give them thirty boards.

I still want to give a seat, but there is no door.

The two entered the imperial study, and Hong Sifeng took the lead in stepping forward and saluting: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." ”

Emperor Chu waved his hand at him, Hong Sifeng nodded silently, and then glanced at Chu Mo beside him before retreating to the side.

"Erchen greets his father, may his father live long live, long live, long live!" Chu Mo stood up straight and bowed to Emperor Chu.

This move had already been discovered by Emperor Chu when Chu Mo woke up.

So at this moment, seeing that Chu Mo was still worshipping and not kneeling, Emperor Chu continued to turn a blind eye and didn't take this seriously.

"Prince, let's get even!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Chu Mo thanked him, and his face remained unwavering.

But the three scholars next to him saw Chu Mo saluting, and they also bowed to Chu Mo meaningfully, got up and said, "Weichen greets His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The three adults don't need to be polite. Chu Mo waved his hand lightly, glanced up, and found that among the three people, there was actually a familiar face.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered at the familiar person: "Isn't this Liu Shu and Lord Liu?" I didn't expect that Lord Liu is very concerned about Gu's affairs! I didn't be Lone's teacher last time, but this time I came to His Majesty to make a speech and correct Gu's bad habits?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives his sins, and Weichen's actions today are also for the sake of the face of the royal family of Chu State. If you can correct the bad habits of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and save the face of the royal family of Chu State, the ministers will die without regrets!" Liu Shutong was impassioned and looked vigorous and awe-inspiring.

"So, as long as Lone is willing to change his bad habits, the three adults will be willing to die? Come on, go and prepare wine, white silk, and daggers, in triplicate, for the three adults to choose. ”

Chu Mo was disdainful in his heart, and suddenly waved his hand, his face was very playful.

And when he said this suddenly, Liu Shu and the three people were blindsided at once, especially the other two. This time, they just followed Liu Shutong to visit the prince.

But in the blink of an eye, he wanted to let them drink wine and wrap white silk, which directly frightened them.

So these three people could only look at the sitting Chu Emperor one after another, and cast their eyes for help.

After all, this prince doesn't have a good reputation, and after a while, the wine Bai Aya will really be sent, maybe this prince will really force them to die.

Emperor Chu snickered in his heart, and then pretended to be a serious lesson and said, "Prince, don't be rude." Today, the three adults think that you have started a business in the name of the crown prince, and they are afraid that this move will damage the royal majesty, so they risk offending you, and say to me, I hope you can see that the three adults are also worried about our royal family, and do not worry about them. ”

"Father, rest assured, the son is naturally not the kind of person who has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he will repay him. Chu Mo replied respectfully, and then walked straight to Liu Shu and the others, and sneered: "The three adults said that Gudang Street started a business and sold goods, and lost the royal majesty, right?"

Liu Shutong had a bitter face and explained: "Your Royal Highness, your actions are indeed detrimental to the majesty of the royal family!

Chu Mo nodded slightly, then his face changed, and he suddenly said angrily: "Three adults, I will settle an account for you first." Since the outbreak of the drought in Qingzhou and Lingzhou, the imperial court has collected disaster relief funds everywhere, but the national treasury has been tight, and the corresponding disaster relief funds have not been raised in various places. ”

"The imperial court can't raise money, and it can't go to disaster relief in time, and the people of Qingling and Qingling Prefecture are dying of hunger and disease every day, and thousands of people are dying. In this case, regardless of the damage to the royal face, he immediately decided to do the business and contribute to the collection of disaster relief funds. ”

"Lone is here now, settling accounts for the three adults. In the past few days, the business things that Gu did that were despised by the three adults raised a total of 3 million taels of disaster relief funds for the people of Qingling and Qingling Prefectures. In one fell swoop, it solved the dilemma of the shortage of the treasury and the lack of silver for disaster relief. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Mo was already a little out of control, so he had to try to calm the anger in his heart, and soothed a few breaths with his hand on his chest, and then said: "Now the three adults are talking about being alone in the street, and they have lost royal face. Yes, Lone admits that Lone's move is a loss of royal face. ”

"Lone also knows that the royal face is very important. But compared with the millions of hungry victims in the two states of Qingling, Gu felt that his face was not worth mentioning at all. ”
