"Why not? That's how the prince learned it."

"Oh, I forgot one."

The old emperor seemed to remember something and turned to look at Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites with ill intent.

Minister Chen shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, Your Majesty, I am an old man, I cannot compare with young people like Shen Lang."

"What do you mean old or not? You are only in your forties, very young, and can stand the test. Besides, you have the Minister of Personnel watching over you, so what are you afraid of?"

As he said this, the old emperor did the same thing to Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites as he did to Shen Zhiyi.

"ah--"

Looking at the two people walking away, the old emperor was very satisfied. It had been a long time since he had relaxed like this.

"Yanchen, go protect those two who can't even ride a horse."

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel, who originally wanted to have some quiet time, suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

"I accept your order."

Looking at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel who was riding in a dashing manner, the old emperor praised: "Yan Chen is truly a standard gentleman of the six arts."

Zhang Sheren, Chen Decai: ???

The old emperor: "Six Arts Hypocrite."

[System, help me, if you don’t save me, your dear host will die. ]

The system is working hard to fix the bug: ...

——Ahhhhh, host, what are you doing?

"Help me, help me."

——Host, here I come! Stop!

The horse under Shen Zhiyi's buttocks seemed to have its hooves fixed by something and braked suddenly.

Due to inertia, Shen Zhiyi flew out directly.

This frightened Chen Shilang, the Minister of Rites, who was standing behind him.

"ah--"

With a scream, Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes tightly, thinking that he was going to die, but who would have thought that there would be someone to take the blame for him!

She opened one eye.

【It turns out that there are two people who took the blame. 】

Open your eyes again.

[Damn, I have a stye. ]

"Ahhhh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Shen Zhiyi jumped up on the spot, turned around and started running back, looking at the two people riding towards him.

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't look at what's inappropriate ahead."

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: ??? Damn it, who is so wicked in broad daylight?

"Minister of Personnel, help me."

After a flurry of activity, the three of them leaned against a big tree, feeling quite exhausted.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel took out his jade abacus and began to calculate his labor and physical and mental loss expenses.

[What's there to calculate? Forget it. The old emperor won't give you any money.]

"Minister Chen, the total is ten taels of silver."

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites, who was panting heavily, said: …

He turned his stiff head and said, "Your subordinate, your subordinate, I understand."

Woo woo woo woo.

[Wow, this is the darkness and bullying in the officialdom. I have learned a lot today.]

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel looked at Minister Chen of Rites in surprise.

This look lasted for several minutes.

This made Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites feel uneasy.

Is it possible that ten taels of silver are missing?

Should he be smarter and give more?

"You are the first one who actually intends to give me money."

"ah?"

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel put the beads of the jade abacus back into place and stood up: "Don't..."

Before he could finish his words, he was forcibly pulled down by Shen Zhiyi and continued to sit on the ground.

"Shhh."

Shen Zhiyi looked at the back of the tree with his butt sticking out like a thief.

[It’s over, it’s over. Is that person going to kill people to silence them? ]

[I actually didn’t see anything clearly, just two white spots.]

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites was itching to poke Shen Zhiyi’s shoulder.

"Chen Lang, what did you see just now?"

"Nothing, nothing."

[What else could it be? Damn it! This is simply too outrageous. The person I just suppressed was the son of Prince Li, the Crown Prince.]

[Of course this is nothing, the problem is that the other one is the King of Li. ]

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough."

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but start coughing madly in order to suppress his laughter.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel began to frantically calculate his own plans.

This is so explosive.

Prince Li, the emperor's son, is as old-fashioned and polite as his title suggests.

But now it seems that it is a complete breakdown of social order.

"Walk."

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel put away the jade abacus and said he could not stay in this place.

Shen Zhiyi and Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites looked at each other and shook their heads frantically.

"No, no, I don't dare to ride a horse."

The new Minister of Personnel: …

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites: "But I have a good idea."

*

"Your Highness is really amazing. He shot a deer in one go."

"Your Highness is amazing. He shot down a wild goose in one go."

"Your Highness is amazing. In a short time..."

[All of a sudden, your flattery was so loud that it made a clanking sound. ]

His Royal Highness, who was feeling very proud, began to look around after hearing Shen Zhiyi's thoughts.

Roar, Shen Zhiyi actually came. He thought the other party would be scared and dare not come over.

[This deer has long been in a half-dead state, and anyone can easily shoot it. ]

[The arrow that hit the wild goose was not from the prince, but from the person behind me.]

Prince: ...

This Shen Zhiyi really doesn't give any face at all.

But what's behind her.

Accompanied by the slow sound of horse hooves, the prince and his entourage finally saw a horse walking out of the woods... uh, three people.

No, there were three people riding on one horse, but there were also two mini horses following behind.

His eyes widened and he rode over.

At this time, the pitiful new Minister of Personnel sat one in the front and one in the back, his face was even darker than the bottom of a pot.

“Hahahahahahaha.”

The prince laughed wildly.

"Brother Yanchen, I didn't expect you would have this day."

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel had a gloomy face and threw Minister Chen of Rites behind him.

Looking at the other person falling to the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "Add more money."

When Shen Zhiyi heard this, he shrank his neck and tried to reduce his presence.

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites' family is rich, and she doesn't have the money to give extra money to this stingy guy.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel looked at the Crown Prince with a forced smile.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Li are as close as brothers."

"Oh, what do you mean by brothers? We are brothers. But it's strange that my brother hasn't been seen since he came in."

[Of course I can't see it, I'm busy fighting with the prince. 】

[I was almost killed by the King of Li, but I was running away with my face covered, so he probably didn’t see who I was. ]

[You should know that Prince Li was so mad that he killed many palace maids and eunuchs because of this matter.]

When the prince heard the shocking news, the whip in his hand fell to the ground.

"Brother Yanchen, in fact, the brotherly relationship between me and Prince Li is just average, not comparable to that between you and me."
