As soon as the prince said this, all the civil and military officials fell silent.
"This son of yours will, firstly, ensure the safety of the wedding procession, and secondly, gain more experience, sharpen my will, and accumulate more knowledge, so that I can better relieve my father's worries."
"Yes." The emperor nodded appreciatively.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent, and his safety is extremely important. The journey is long, so please reconsider."
"I second the motion."
"I second this motion."
Jiang Zhuo thought for a moment, then stood up leisurely, "I think the Crown Prince can shoulder this heavy responsibility.
No country's crown prince is weak and timid. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has requested this, we will approve it."
If he wants to go, he gives it a push.
The emperor thought for a while, "Prince, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I wish to go to the Kingdom of Jinyang. As the crown prince of a nation, how can I be afraid of death? I will fulfill my mission and return victorious."
"Well, do you have any objections?"
Since the prince said so, he really wanted to go, and there was nothing they could say.
"Okay, three days later, the prince will set off for the Kingdom of Jinyang."
"Yes." Murong Zhi agreed.
Since there was nothing else to do, the emperor announced the end of the court.
Jiang Zhuo yawned and walked down the stairs leisurely.
"Master Jiang, please stay."
An anxious voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Zhuo turned around and saw, oh, isn’t this the Minister of Works Li Zheng?
Isn't he the one who is most reluctant to talk to him?
"What's the matter, Lord Li?" Jiang Zhuo's tone was lazy and a little casual.
Li Zheng gritted his teeth.
He was a third-rank Dali Temple official, yet he acted like a first-rank official! He was clearly one rank higher than him, yet he seemed to be a head lower than him!
If he hadn't failed to wait for him at the Dali Temple yesterday and hadn't come back empty-handed at the Jiang Residence, he wouldn't be talking to him here.
"Master Jiang, my niece offended you yesterday and was imprisoned in the Dali Temple by you."
"Your niece? Who?"
"Li Ruyue." Li Zheng said word by word.
"She broke the law, so she was locked up."
What's breaking the law? It's just that you don't like her?!
"Sir Jiang, this, you see, Ruyue is a girl after all, she definitely didn't mean it. You are a magnanimous person..." Li Zheng stuffed a gold ingot into Jiang Zhuo's hand and smiled at him.
Jiang Zhuo picked up the gold ingot and looked at it in the morning light.
The action almost made Li Zheng lose his breath.
What is a bribe? I give it to you quietly, secretly, and what do you do with it?
"Master Li, do you know why your niece went in?"
"Why?" He really didn't know the answer, he just knew it was a false report.
"She lied about officials accepting bribes, whoring, and gambling in the brothel. Lord Li, remember, it's a taboo for officials to bribe!" Jiang Zhuo threw the gold ingot back to Li Zheng. "Lord Li, take this money and buy two copies of 'Dongli Law'. One for you and one for your niece."
After Jiang Zhuo finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the last two steps. The dark red figure behind him made Li Zheng's teeth itch.
Can't he just adapt?!
Jiang Zhuo went to the Dali Temple and just as he stepped in, this half-grown figure rushed towards him.
He dodged sideways nimbly and looked closely to see that it was actually a little boy. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Jiang Zhuo reached out and grabbed his clothes by the back of his neck.
"Ah! Help! Daddy, help!"
Changfeng quickly stepped forward to catch the little boy.
Fortunately, the young master behaved like a normal person after getting engaged. If it were in the past, I would have watched him fall flat on his face.
"Who is your father?"
"My name is Zhang Hangyu, and my father is Zhang Gan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple." The boy answered crisply.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Gan came running over in a hurry.
"Master Xiao Jiang, please forgive me. I am ignorant."
"This is the Dali Temple. Why did Lord Zhang bring the child here? What if he gets hurt?"
Changfeng touched the boy's head twice.
"He was originally staying at home. I don't know how he managed to hide in my carriage and come to the Dali Temple. It was my negligence."
"Beautiful sister, are you an official too?" The boy almost scared Zhang Gan to death when he opened his mouth.
What a sin! Who are you calling sister?
Jiang Zhuo pointed at himself and said, "Beautiful sister...are you talking about me?"
Zhang Gan looked at his son and nodded recklessly.
"Hahaha. Good boy." Jiang Zhuo reached out and flicked the boy's forehead, then turned and left.
"Fortunately, the young master is in a good mood these days, otherwise you!" Changfeng said and followed Jiang Zhuo.
Zhang Gan breathed a sigh of relief and looked down to see a bump on his son's head.
Fortunately, it was just a bump on the head, not a grave mound on the mountain.
"Dad, my head hurts."
"Just wait a while for the pain to come!" Zhang Gan said angrily, "I'll take you back to the mansion soon."
The boy curled his lips and looked at the back.
It’s just very beautiful!
Jiang Zhuo sat down, picked up the bronze mirror behind him and took a look.
"Do I look like a girl?"
"Of course not, Master Tienan!"
Jiang Zhuo looked at Chang Feng suspiciously, "What does Tienan mean?"
"It's definitely a boy! He's just too handsome, so it's inevitable that he would be misunderstood by children without good sense."
Changfeng explained in a somewhat far-fetched manner.
Jiang Zhuo looked at the face in the bronze mirror. Isn't it just a little pale? It can't look like a girl, right?
Otherwise, you can go to the military camp to exercise, which will not only strengthen your body but also please your father-in-law and future brother.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Zhuo threw the bronze mirror aside and looked up to find Changfeng still standing there.
"Are you free?"
"Not idle!" Changfeng immediately turned around and left.
Jiang Zhuo rolled his eyes and picked up the pile of cases to look at them.
As he watched, he felt like someone was watching him.
Jiang Zhuo's eyes darkened. He stood up and pretended to stretch casually, then quickly walked around to the window and grabbed the man by the collar.
"Zhang Yuhang?"
"Master Jiang." The boy flapped his short legs, trying to break free from Jiang Zhuo's restraints. "Master Jiang, please forgive me."
"Heh, you're a quick learner." Jiang Zhuo brought Zhang Hangyu in. "Why were you peeking at me?"
"Because you're amazing." Zhang Hangyu said sincerely, "I want to be like you when I grow up."
"Oh? Why?"
"You arrested all the bad guys who killed people."
"Just because of this?" Jiang Zhuo raised an eyebrow. "Does your father know about your thoughts?"
Zhang Hangyu shook his head. Although his father didn’t know, he would definitely support him!
"Okay, you, Zhang Hangyu, are the most ambitious in the whole capital!" Jiang Zhuo patted his shoulder and spoke seriously.
"Yes!" Zhang Hangyu nodded confidently. "Master Xiao Jiang, will you be able to marry a woman as beautiful as the princess in the future?"
"Have you seen the princess?"
"I've seen it in the portrait that my mother drew for my eldest brother."
“?!”
