Chapter 68
Xuan Fu asked what medicine it was and whether his fathers were feeling unwell. He also said he would go and ask the imperial physician. Xu Xiaoman was trying to hold back his laughter and waited to see what Zhong Yun would say.
Who told Zhong Yun to have someone carry this thing wherever he goes?
"It's just some herbal tea to reduce internal heat." Zhong Yun fooled him with a calm expression.
Xu Xiaofu was relieved, and after getting his father's promise that he would not rashly arrange any marriage for him behind his back, he yawned and felt sleepy. Xu Xiaoman finally laughed out loud and said, "It's late now, go back to sleep, at least you can sleep for three hours."
"Dad, are we getting up so early tomorrow?" Xuanfu said vaguely. It was hard to resist the sleepiness when it came.
Zhong Yun was in a good mood and said, "I will leave early tomorrow. Xiaoman, you and Duofu can sleep more and return to the palace in the afternoon."
"! Father, don't I have to go to morning class tomorrow?"
"If you want to attend the morning class tomorrow, why not lead the team back now? The city gate will be open when we get there, and we can go back to the Taiji Palace and have class there by the time we get there."
Xu Xuanfu was so scared that he quickly said, "Haha, I was just kidding. Dad, let's go back tomorrow afternoon. Let's sleep a little longer."
"Okay." Xu Xiaoman agreed, "Go back to sleep."
"Well, I won't disturb my father and the emperor." His father was very tired and could not sleep for three hours. He would have to go back to the palace tomorrow. Xuanyunfu walked out of the door and asked Zhao Banban what the time was. It was already early in the morning.
No wonder I feel sleepy.
Accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, Xuanyun Fu was a little dazed and sleepy. He told Zhao Banban not to see him off and took Xu Lingguan and his party back to his residence. He yawned several times along the way and tears welled up in Xuanyun Fu's eyes. He said, "You guys should go to bed soon too. We can pack up and go back to the palace after noon tomorrow. Get some more sleep."
"Your Highness, please take a rest. I will make arrangements." Wang Yuanyuan felt distressed when she saw that little Duofu was so sleepy that he had tears in his eyes.
Xuanyuefu nodded and went back to the room, taking off his clothes as he walked. By the time he got to the bed, he was only in his underwear and shorts. He lay on the bed wrapped in a summer quilt, his mind fuzzy, thinking that something seemed to be wrong again.
Didn’t the emperor just say that he had given Li Ang medicine?
...The medicine is used to reduce internal heat, so I guess it's for them to reduce internal heat.
Manyu Fu hasn't figured out what's going on yet, he's already closed his eyes and breathing evenly Zzzz~
On the other side, Xiaoman pulled Zhongyun back to bed, "Go to sleep quickly, there are only a few hours left."
Zhong Yun was still pretending that he wasn't tired. Xu Xiaoman: "You are not the same as before. You are getting older. You should get more sleep--"
"Nine Thousand Years Old, if you don't believe that I have plenty of energy, can I show you how to do it?"
Xu Xiaoman: “…” Hahahahahaha.
This silly look.
Xu Xiaoman threw his wife to the ground, Zhong Yun hugged Xiaoman's waist, and they fell on the bed and rolled around. Xu Xiaoman patted Zhong Yun gently, "Are you finally relieved now? Go to sleep. I told you that Duoduo still has a childish temper and hasn't grown up yet. You're the one who worries about him."
"Yes, yes, I don't know who Duofu takes after. You and I had already..." Zhong Yun's voice was a little lower, because he found that Duofu was heartless and followed Xiaoman in a daze.
At first, he had bad intentions towards Xiaoman. Xiaoman had no idea about love at that time and was a fool.
When Xu Xiaoman saw Zhong Yun's look, he rolled away and fell asleep, saying, "Do you know who Duoduo takes after? If you weren't so smart and hadn't tortured me in various ways, I don't know how old I would have to be to finally wake up."
"Don't worry."
Zhong Yun also lay back down.
It was hot, so they didn't hug each other. Zhong Yun just reached out and held Xiaoman's hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in the dark. Xiaoman loved him. Even in the first few years, he had acted recklessly without restraint. Now Xiaoman didn't take it to heart at all, and even made up for it, saying that he was smart.
"I'm relieved. Thanks to the magnanimity of the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man, he didn't bother with me."
Xu Xiaoman turned sideways, raised his hand and patted Zhong Yun's chest, "You are my wife's family now, stop talking nonsense and go to bed." After saying that, he yawned.
Zhong Yun was infected and yawned as well.
So the couple really went to bed this time.
At dawn the next day, the emperor set out from the imperial manor to return to Taiji Palace. Some of the elders from other manors also went with him. Some officials went back yesterday and returned with the emperor today.
Xuanyi Fu slept until noon. Outside, Liu Qiang was bragging loudly, talking about his bravery yesterday. He and Wang Yuansun cooperated with each other in this way and that way and defeated the opponent.
After listening for a while, Xuanyuefu sat up with a 'wrong' thought, "Liu Qiang is crazy, bragging in my yard so early in the morning."
Shuncai Zhuixing heard the noise and came in to help His Highness wash up.
"When did Liu Qiang come?"
Shuncai said, "Your Highness, Young Master Liu came two hours ago, but when he heard you were still asleep, he left again. He arrived an hour ago and chatted with Young Master Yan."
Yan Huaijin got up early at seven o'clock to read. He guessed that Liu Qiang would come to visit him during the time when Yan Huaijin was reading. Liu Qiang was so scared that he ran away to show his respect, but he came back out of boredom.
Xuanyue put on his summer clothes while sitting and letting Zhuyue comb his hair.
"Have a simple breakfast in the morning and ask my father when he will leave. I am up now."
Shunde responded and went to run errands to report the news.
Xuanyifu had just washed up when Liu Qiang came in after hearing the noise. The two of them were chattering and bickering early in the morning. Yan Huaijin, who was standing next to them, was used to it. Xuanyifu choked Liu Qiang back and even asked his little classmate if he had eaten breakfast.
"After eating, when will we go back?" Yan Huaijin said.
Xuanyu Fu: "After noon, around 3pm, otherwise the sun will be at its peak and people will get heat stroke."
"Okay." Yan Huaijin nodded.
Sure enough, when Duo Xinfu had breakfast, Liu Qiang and Yan Huaijin sat down and ate some more. Shunde came back and reported, "Master Xu said that we should wait until the scorching sun is over before leaving."
"I am indeed my father's biological son." Duo Xinfu was very proud and asked everyone to take a break. He then asked, "Where are Li Ang and the others?"
"Zhou Quan came up early in the morning, and the two of them went out riding horses together." Liu Qiang said, then realized, "They reconciled?!"
Many blessings: ...
"We made peace yesterday." Xuanyufu said vaguely.
Liu Qiang nodded and didn't ask why they were quarreling. After dinner, several classmates agreed to play in the imperial farm. There were wheat fields, vegetable fields, and a horse farm. Wang Yuansun and his classmates went to ride horses, and Xuanyuefu took his little classmate to the vegetable farm to pick vegetables.
He also recited a poem "Return to the Fields" facing the vegetable garden.
"Good poetry brings many blessings." Yan Huaijin said with a surprised look in his eyes.
Xuanyu Fu first pretended to be angry: "What does that look in your eyes mean?" Then he smiled and said: "But you guessed right, I didn't do it, I just memorized it."
He didn't explain whose poem it was, for he was afraid he couldn't explain it clearly, so he ran off with his basket to pick cucumbers.
The cucumbers can be washed in the clean water of the ditch and eaten. They are crisp and refreshing and especially delicious. Xuan Duofu picked a basket and handed it to Shunde, "Wash them clean. My father and I will eat them on the way back home this afternoon."
After picking the cucumbers and washing them, Xuanyuefu went to have lunch with his father and called Yan Huaijin to join him. Yan Huaijin said, "Then wait for me to change my clothes."
"?" Xuanyunfu thought that his little classmate had been a particular person since he was young.
Yan Huaijin changed into a light-colored scholar's robe and combed his hair neatly. Although he was young, he was very graceful and elegant. Xuanyu Fu looked at him for a long time, and then Yan Huaijin stood there to let Xuanyu Fu look at him.
"I remember now. I was wondering why you looked so familiar." Xuanyuefu reached out and touched his deskmate's head. "You look a lot like Wen Lianglu, but not too much."
Yan Huaijin: "What do you mean?"
"You two are both very dignified in your daily etiquette, and you are also a bit free and easy, but you are more bookish." Xuan Fu touched his chin and said, "Also, you have a better complexion than Lord Wen."
Yan Huaijin blushed slightly, looked ahead and said, "Scholars don't care about the color."
"You're still shy." Xu Duofu joked, and the two walked side by side, saying, "Scholars don't rely on their looks to make a living, but if someone is good at studying and good-looking, wouldn't that be perfect?"
When Xuanyufu said this, he tilted his head and looked down at his deskmate. Yan Jinjin happened to be looking at him as well. Their eyes met in the air. Yan Huaijin first slightly looked away and whispered, "Xuyufu, do you like good-looking people?"
"Not really. I don't make friends based on appearance, I look at character and whether we can get along well." Xuan Fu answered first, and then talked about what he had just discovered, "Yan Huaijin, when you grow up and take the imperial examination, you deserve to be the top scholar with your talent, but you can also be the third scholar. In the storybooks, the third scholars are all handsome and beautiful. It would not be good if you were to be the third..."
The children haven't grown up yet, but the "parents" are already worried: Will my deskmate go to Tsinghua University or Peking University?
sad.
Yan Huaijin said modestly: "There are many talented people in the world, no one is first in literature and no one is second in martial arts. You are worrying too early about many blessings."
"You should be more confident. You are the top student in our Chongming Hall every year and in every exam. If you say such things all the time, Zhou Quan will vomit blood after hearing them." Xuanyunfu is still very confident in his little deskmate. His little deskmate is really a genius. If his little deskmate hadn't helped him over the years, he would have definitely lost face for Dasheng and his father.
Yan Huaijin nodded when he heard this, "I learned better than Zhou Quan."
Manyufu: Hahahahahahaha.
Yan Jinjin made him laugh to death. He asked Yan Jinjin to be more confident, and now she is very confident.
Fortunately, Zhou Quan was not there, otherwise he would be angry with both of them.
Xu Xiaoman heard Duoduo's hearty laughter in the yard, and sure enough, he saw people after a while. In addition to Duoduo, Yan Huaijin had also come. Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but greet them with a smile.
Yan Huaijin performed the bowing ceremony vigorously.
"You're welcome. Come into the living room and sit down." Xu Xiaoman was very familiar with Xiao Huaijin.
One of Duoduo's best friends.
That's why Xu Xiaoman felt that Duoduo was immature and still a child like Xiao Huaijin. Zhong Yun was just thinking too much. If Zhou Quan's family hadn't been worried about his marriage, he wouldn't have thought of getting engaged.
It's too early.
After lunch, they had some chilled watermelon. The watermelon grown in the imperial farm tasted crisp and sweet. Xu Xiaoman took a few bites and said, "This is sweet. Bring some back for your father to taste."
"Okay, I want some too." Xuanyufu said.
"Then I'll prepare them all for you."
Actually, there were some in the Eastern Palace, but Xuanyu Fu felt that the ones he carried himself were more fragrant, just like the basket of cucumbers. Xuanyu Fu even presented them to his father at the dinner table. Xu Xiaoman tasted them and thought they were delicious, so he said he would take them back.
No matter what it is, whoever of the three members of the family is not around will think of bringing some back.
The palace has everything but it’s different.
Yan Huaijin ate the watermelon with some envy, but he also learned it. In fact, after he became friends with Duo Xinfu, he understood these things unconsciously. He knew that one should express his concern to his relatives directly.
Xu Xiaoman said: "There are a lot of farm products in the farm. I'll bring some for you all."
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Xu." Yan Huaijin did not refuse.
Xu Xuanfu: "Oh, I didn't think of this. You need to bring more food. I remember your second sister went back. Will she come back for the New Year this year?"
"No, my second sister said she needs to take care of the seeds and she doesn't trust them to other people."
Xu Xiaoman thought to himself when he heard this, this is also a worrywart, but what Yan Huaiying did is good for the people, so he said, "Your second sister has worked hard, it's not easy to deliver the melons in the hot weather."
"We have it in our hometown too." Yan Huaijin said hurriedly.
Xuanyu Fu said, "Why not pickle a jar of pickles and send them over? The pickled vegetables in the East Palace are especially delicious. When the time comes, you can send any letters you want to write to your second sister and Uncle Yan and Aunt."
The eldest son of Taifu Yan and his family arrived in Shengdu early and had settled there for several years. Relying on Taifu Yan's connections, he got a job in the Invention Department of the Ministry of Works. The previous drawing of the curved plow was submitted. Brother Yan Huaijin was good at carpentry. After making the sample, he adjusted and improved it for several months in practice, and it became the final version of the curved plow. He did not take the credit for submitting the drawing to the prefecture and county.
Anyway, he is a very serious and pragmatic person who works.
He didn't care much about fame and fortune, saying that he felt comfortable and happy dealing with wood. If his father had recommended him to be an official in another position and deal with people, he would have run back to Wuheng Mountain with his family long ago.
He has been working in the Invention Department for three years now. He has done a very good job and has opportunities for promotion, but Brother Yan Huaijin does not want to move or become the boss.
He is just a carpenter.
This kind of person is down-to-earth, hardworking, smart, able to figure out the key points, and has some connections at home but does not use them to climb up the social ladder - Brother Yan's superiors are very happy because subordinates are not a threat, so they value Brother Yan Huaijin very much.
In fact, Yan Huaijin is also a child of high generation.
Xuanyunfu and his little classmate said this on their way back from their father's yard, "...You are an adult now."
"You are right, Duo Fu. Now I am an uncle, so I will bring them some gifts when I go back this time." Yan Huaijin said seriously.
Xuan Duofu: Hahahahaha. It’s so funny to see my little classmate acting so serious as an adult.
"Xu Duofu, are you laughing at me?"
"Hahahahahahahahaha." Then Xuanduofu laughed out loud.
There was a smile in Yan Huaijin's eyes, and he was not angry or annoyed. He knew that Xuanfu was just playing with him. It would not be fun if good friends were to quibble with each other.
"You laughed at me. You're sending pickles to my nephews and nieces."
"Hello, Yan Jinjin, you are such a good uncle." Xuanyu Fu praised his little deskmate.
In the afternoon, he returned to Taiji Palace from the imperial farm. It was already evening when he arrived at the imperial city. It was just dark when he arrived at Taiji Palace. Xuanyu Fu went back to the East Palace to take a shower and change clothes. He told Wang Banban about the pickles he wanted to give away, and to make them more varied. He used the cucumbers he brought back today to pickle them. They were delicious.
Wang Yuanyuan was listening nearby and responded with an "ehhh". She thought to herself that Xiao Duofu was really like Xu Xiaoman. He would always care about whoever he was nice to, even for the smallest things.
Oh, that's not right. Xu Xiaoman doesn't care about trivial matters. Xu Xiaoman is rough and straightforward. When dealing with friends like them, he never wins people's hearts over trivial matters because Xu Xiaoman doesn't have the brains for that.
They are all willing to risk their lives to help you with big things.
It seems that little Duofu has followed the emperor.
"Wang Banban, my gold medal will be hung in the study. The trophy will be sent to Chongming Hall tomorrow. Ask the Internal Affairs Office to make a shelf specifically for the trophy. It would be even better if there is glass to install it."
Wang Yuanyuan: "Your Highness, these rare glass items are all sent here as sets of ornaments. If we want to make the same as the cabinet doors, we have to draw the size and send it to the local place for making. It will probably take a long time."
Her original name was Liuli, but because the prince kept calling her "glass", all the servants in the Eastern Palace started calling her that.
"Forget about it, it's so troublesome. Let's not go through so much trouble." Xuanyufu said.
Glass is fragile, so don't let the people below suffer from being torn apart by pieces of glass.
"Accompany me to sleep for a while, and have dinner later. Also, tell Lord Wen that he did a good job this time, and ask him to prepare it tomorrow. I will listen to the report."
Xuan Fu said that he was tired after a day of riding and felt exhausted after taking a bath. He spread out on the bed like a pancake and fell asleep quickly. He slept deeply and it was pitch black outside when he woke up. He felt refreshed after waking up and got dressed.
Upon asking, I found out that my father came and saw that he was still sleeping and did not let anyone wake him up.
"What else?" Xuanyu Fu asked.
Shuncai replied, "Lord Xu stayed for half a cup of tea and then left, saying that Your Highness doesn't need to go to Zichen Palace when he wakes up, and should go to bed early, as he still has to go to school tomorrow."
Damn school!
Many people gritted their teeth and then ordered dinner happily.
After dinner, Xuan Fu was so full that he took a stroll in the East Palace, wishing he had a bicycle. But now he had even forgotten how to make glass, so what was the point of wanting a bicycle!
In a rage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince jumped rope for a while, then went back to take a shower and sleep.
After half a month, the topic of the class was all about the water fight. They were also discussing whether there would be another one next year and how to play it. Everyone wanted to challenge the prince.
He has had some adult troubles lately because he has started asking about politics.
The next afternoon after school after returning to the palace, Xuan Fu and Wen Liangru went over the accounts with Lord Wen. He couldn't understand it, so he gave it to Xu Muyu. Lord Wen explained one by one that Boss Mu didn't make much money from the tents that day.
It cost about 1,300 taels of silver, but the cost, personnel maintenance, sending some green bean soup to officers and soldiers and Jinwu Guards to cool down, and "high temperature fee" were all paid out of Boss Mu's pocket.
And the profit that Boss Mu gave away now was not divided after deducting the cost, which meant that Donggong did not spend a penny but still gained a good reputation and received 700 taels of silver - Boss Mu made up the whole amount.
"What does he want?" Xuanyufu was quite curious.
Wen Liangluo told the truth. It was best to tell the truth to His Royal Highness. "Your Highness only looks at the revenue on the surface, but Boss Mu got in touch with Your Highness and got to know the managers of various mansions that day. Some mansions originally wanted to build farms and expand gardens, but now they are all bought from Boss Mu. I heard that there are several deals of three to five thousand taels. In addition, he has established himself in Shengdu, and now some timber merchants in Shengdu will not do anything to him."
"Your Highness should know that it is not easy for a foreign company to gain a foothold in Shengdu. This time, Boss Mu actually used your reputation to gain a foothold."
Xuan Fu: "You are quite honest." Then he did not say much, only said what he had promised before, "Sir Xu, remember the seven hundred taels of silver. At the end of the year, you will go to distribute the silver on my behalf."
"I obey your command." Xu Muyu bowed and agreed.
In fact, that night, Xuan Duofu went to Zichen Palace for dinner and told the whole story, "...The Mu family borrowed my name first, and I thought I got an advantage before, but now it seems that I still lost something. However, the Mu family is okay, but I just want to warn them not to use my name in the future."
He muttered to himself at the dinner table, sometimes he felt that something was right, sometimes he refuted himself.
Zhong Yun winked at Xiaoman: Look at you, you little fool.
Xu Xiaoman: ...You are the little fool’s father.
Finally, Jiu Qiansui, the loving father of his child, said, "Don't worry, Duoduo. I checked before. The Mu family has a good reputation in Hengliang Prefecture. They are strict in disciplining their children and have good conduct. They are considered a reputable merchant."
"When you agreed, the Mu family was already tied to the Eastern Palace. After the day of the competition, everyone in the mansions of Shengdu knew that the prince was behind the Mu family. If you want to get rid of the Mu family now, do you have to inform every family one by one?" Zhong Yun said this and glanced at Xuan Fu.
"You hold a high position, and he wanted to use your fame to do business more smoothly. You didn't take his money - oh, you took 700 taels."
Xuanyuefu: ...his father seemed to be laughing at him when he said 'seven hundred taels'.
"The Mu family should be worried. Wait until next year. If you think the Mu family is not up to the task, just hold another competition and leave the matter to other merchants. The Mu family should be anxious. They are stable this year and dare not do anything rash." Zhong Yun said this with a smile on his face, "The Internal Affairs Office should also be anxious."
"It's time for them to hurry up."
Many blessings:?
"Father, you know all this? Even before I initially agreed to Wen Liangru's agreement to let the Mu family take charge, you saw the consequences."
"There are no consequences." Xu Xiaoman said first.
Zhong Yun nodded in agreement with what Xiao Man said, and then sighed: "Xuan Fu is timid, not as brave as your father." Then he said: "Count the entire Shengdu yourself, who are behind those profitable businesses? Are they really ordinary people?"
Of course not.
Just look at those luxurious shops and restaurants in the Second Ring Road. On the surface, the owners are people with unrelated surnames, but if you look closely, you will find that they are all businesses run by government officials from various prefectures.
Xu Xiaoman didn't say that even the relationships in Huahu and Huachuan were complicated, and their Dongchang had finally gotten involved just to get some information.
I won’t tell you more about this.
"Wen Lianglu is also thinking about the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is not like when he was young. He can't eat your private treasury every day. There must be a place where he can use the money. The Mu family has a good foundation, so Wen Lianglu dared to make contact with them. He only gave the Crown Prince 700 taels. If it was 7,000 taels, it would be a problem. Timber merchants have no conflicts with ordinary people. The Mu family earns money from wealthy businessmen and officials." Zhong Yun explained to Xuan Fu, "Do you think those eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office really serve you wholeheartedly and think about you in everything?"
"Many blessings should be struck where they should be struck."
"You all know that we can't rely on Wen Lianglu alone. We also need to make use of Xu Muyu. It's actually the same principle. Let them be nervous and compete with each other because they are thinking about you."
Xuanyunfu listened to a lot of lectures and said first: "Fortunately, Wen Lianglu said this afternoon that the Mu family would like to use my fame to gain a foothold. I seemed to frown and did not immediately say whether it was good or bad."
"Well-pretended." Zhong Yun commented.
Many people have extracted the key points, "It is to let me not express my position now, and let the outside world guess what they want. If the Mu family is not good enough, I will change people next year, and everyone will know the direction of the wind."
It's a simple thing indeed.
"Let's eat." Xu Xiaoman said after listening to the lecture. He almost felt sleepy.
Zhong Yun stopped talking and picked up his chopsticks. "The prince is so eager to learn. Starting tomorrow afternoon, he will come to Xuanzheng Hall to ask questions about government affairs. Then you will have time to listen and speak."
“???” The prince holding the bowl was stunned.
He didn't say he likes to learn this!
He just couldn't make up his mind so he came to ask his two fathers.
After that, Emperor Ningwu ignored his son and childishly formed cliques. He got closer and closer to the Nine Thousand Years Old, and served him dishes and soup affectionately. The Nine Thousand Years Old first whispered that it was too hot, and Emperor Ningwu also said it was not hot and the weather was cold.
Many blessings: ...
It's cold.
I feel lonely and my heart is chilled now.
Xu Xiaoman tried to hold back her laughter, but she finally coaxed the kid, picked up some food for him, and said, "It's good for us to learn some new things when we grow up. If you're scared, your father said you can bring people from the East Palace with you. If you can't answer, let them answer first."
"Well, you, my Lord, taught the Crown Prince to cheat in front of me." Zhong Yun said deliberately, "You should be punished."
Xu Xiaoman's face turned red. He nudged Zhong Yun with his elbow and whispered, "You'll be punished later."
Zhong Yun: ...He didn’t mean that, but Xiaoman thought so.
"Okay, okay."
Many blessings: lonely, now I am all alone.
Three people are eating together, why do you exclude the lone person?
Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joined in strongly, serving dishes and soup to both fathers, and was busy all the time.
The next morning, Xuan Fu went to school and told Xu Muyu, Wen Lianglu, He Tong, Wen Erdan and two other officials that they would go to Xuanzheng Hall to discuss government affairs from today onwards. "... According to your official ranks, you will arrange yourselves. On the tenth day, you will go to Xuanzheng Hall. On the fifth day, you will go to the morning court. Two people will follow me each day. Let's see who will go today. After lunch and rest, come to Chongming Hall to find me."
Very good, keep things fair.
But to the officials of the Eastern Palace: !!!
This is an opportunity given to them by His Highness, and they must perform well.
Logically, all government affairs are the responsibility of Lord Xu Muyu. People like He Tongwen and Erdan are writers, not to mention Wen Lianglu, who is responsible for teaching etiquette and receiving guests for the prince. But now they all have the opportunity to ask about government affairs and show their faces in front of the emperor.
Some people are nervous and maybe afraid, but some are excited and eager to grab this good opportunity. The Eastern Palace is still short of two Chancellors. They didn't expect that the prince would be involved in politics at this age. They are the elders of the Eastern Palace, so naturally they have to perform well. It is unclear who among them would be the best Chancellor.
Xu Muyu stayed in the Eastern Palace for four years and finally stepped into the imperial court.
There was no ten-day anniversary that afternoon, so Xuanyu Fu still took Xu Muyu and He Tong to the Xuanzheng Hall.
Xuan Fu was still puzzled. He thought it would be Xu Muyu and Wen Lianglu today, but it turned out to be He Tong. In the small East Palace, there seemed to be factions, although not so serious.
Wen Lianglu and Wen Erdan were more familiar with each other. Xu Muchu and He Tong were candidates in the same year.
That afternoon, Xuan Duofu was a little tired after standing for a long time. Emperor Ningwu, who was sitting at his desk listening to government affairs, took a break from his busy schedule and said to Zhao Erxi, "Bring a stool for the prince."
Many blessings were given seats.
It was just that other adults were standing to report government affairs, while he was sitting - but he really couldn't stand anymore, so he sat there and listened shamelessly. His father and ministers talked about government affairs all afternoon today, and no one asked him what he thought.
Fortunately.
Xuanyuefu heard that his father would occasionally slack off, and when the emperor was free and had tea and snacks, he would ask Xu Muyu and He Tong to go and have a rest and relax, and come back after an incense stick of time.
It means two people relieve themselves.
The two of them also knew His Highness's good intentions and looked at His Majesty first.
Emperor Ningwu waved his hand and said, "You are the crown prince's officials, please leave."
Xu Muyu was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly bowed his head to hide the shock in his eyes. After they walked out of Xuanzheng Hall, He Tong said, "Chongming Hall is very close, why don't we go there to relieve ourselves? Sir Xu? Sir Xu?"
"Okay." Xu Muyu came back to his senses.
After they finished relieving themselves and sat down to rest their feet, Xu Muyu came to his senses and said, "What you said back then is true. Your Majesty and Your Highness are not like the royal father and son in the history books."
He Tong: "?" What does that mean? But he didn't ask.
The Xuan Zheng Hall is where His Majesty lives, and all the land under heaven belongs to the king. But now His Majesty has said that they are the prince's officials, and the implication is that from now on they will only obey His Majesty's orders.
Xu Muyu completely gave up the idea of being transferred out of the Eastern Palace to serve as an official in the court because of his talent in accompanying His Highness in discussing government affairs. If he did not correct his position, the position of Zhanshi would be filled by a wise person sooner or later.
Not to mention other officials in the court, even in the Eastern Palace, there is Wen Lianglu.
He asked for a day. Xuanyu Fu was his father's lackey. He pinched Zhong Yun's shoulder, but Zhong Yun refused. Xuanyu Fu came over and tried to pinch him forcefully, "Father, I'll give it to you. I've learned it."
Zhong Jue:? ? ?
"Have you learned this?"
"Actually, I haven't learned it." Xuanyu Fu pinched his hand, "I was just talking nonsense in a hurry."
Zhong Yun sat on the dragon chair, letting the prince's dog paws pinch him without any rules. His back, which had not hurt before, started to hurt. "Xu Duofu, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"No, no, I really want to relieve father's worries." Xuanyu Fu just massaged his shoulders properly and did not invent his own back massage technique.
This is more like it. Zhong Yun felt that the strength of his shoulder was barely enough to pass through, so he gave up.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Manyu Fu: "...what you said is true. It is natural for a son to be filial to his father. How can a child's filial piety be exchanged for anything?"
"Forget it."
"Come on, Dad, if you want to ask about politics, you should come to Xuanzheng Hall on the tenth day and attend the morning court on the fifth day, right? Today is not even the tenth day, it's only the eighteenth day, and tomorrow is the nineteenth day—"
"Don't count the days with me. On the 20th, bring your two officials from the Eastern Palace to my place to drink tea, eat snacks and relax." Zhong Yun was convinced.
Many blessings: hehe.
This way I can still have physical education class tomorrow afternoon!
Great!
After half a month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally started to ask questions about government affairs on a regular basis - standing for a while and then sitting for a while.
