When Kong Xu came to the imperial study room, he saw Eunuch Hou coming out of the imperial study room with a sad face.

"Eunuch Hou." Kong Xu took the initiative to say hello to Eunuch Hou.

When Eunuch Hou saw that it was Kong Xu who was coming, he said, "It's Mr. Kong. Your Majesty, he's inside. Please wait a moment. I'll let you know."

As Eunuch Hou spoke, he turned around and re-entered the imperial study, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Kong Xu behind him.

"Eunuch Hou, wait a minute, I dare to ask your Majesty today..." After saying that, he took out a few more banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into Eunuch Hou's hand, "Eunuch Hou, take them to drink tea."

Eunuch Hou stuffed the banknotes into his sleeve without leaving a trace. He naturally knew what Kong Xu meant by stuffing these banknotes. Then he leaned into Kong Xu's ear and used his own unique

He raised his voice and said softly to him: "Master Kong, you must be careful what you say, His Majesty is very angry."

"Dare to ask..." Of course Kong Xu knew that His Majesty was angry, and he also knew that this "anger" was because of His Highness the Crown Prince. He had just spent a lot of money and a banquet to ask Zhou Kui.

If so, what he wanted to know now was naturally the reason behind it, so Kong Xu took two more silver notes from his sleeve.

But this time, before he could put the banknote into Eunuch Hou's hand, he was pushed back by Eunuch Hou.

"Master Kong, please don't embarrass me. Although this money is good, I have to live to spend it. I know what you want to ask. We don't dare to talk about it. If you want to know, you can go to His Majesty.

If he feels he can tell you, he will naturally tell you."

When Kong Xu saw that Eunuch Hou had blocked his words, he smiled awkwardly, knowing that this matter seemed to be no small matter, and then saluted Eunuch Hou: "Thank you, Eunuch Hou, for your suggestion."

Seeing Kong Xu's formality, Eunuch Hou hurriedly held his arm, and then said to Kong Xu: "Master Kong, you're welcome, I will inform you right now."

As he spoke, Eunuch Hou pushed the door, locked it, and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Kong is here."

"Come in." There was a hint of anger in the voice, and there was also a hint of majesty in the anger.

Kong Xu thanked Eunuch Hou and entered the imperial study.

What Kong Xu didn't expect was that there was another person in the imperial study room, kneeling there with his head lowered as if he didn't dare to look up at the person in front of the table.

"I've met your Majesty, I've met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Kong Xu saluted the two of them, then paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, why don't I wait outside first."

Kong Xu knew that Chu Boxiong was angry because of the prince, but what he didn't expect was that the prince was also in the imperial study.

Chu Boxiong took a deep breath, and then said to Kong Xu: "No need."

Kong Xu was already ready to exit. After hearing Chu Boxiong's words, he stopped there, lowered his head and waited for Chu Boxiong's next order.

"Ziya, go down." Chu Boxiong naturally said these words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was kneeling there.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was kneeling there, made a promise, then stood up and bowed his head to exit. When passing by Kong Xu, he whispered to Kong Xu: "I have met the teacher."

Kong Xu nodded, returned the favor and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

In the early years, when Chu Ziya was not the prince, Kong Xu taught him knowledge for a while, so from that time on, Chu Ziya called Kong Xu his teacher/

After seeing the prince leaving the royal study, Kong Xucai asked Chu Boxiong: "Prince...he..."

Chu Boxiong sighed, and then said to Kong Xu: "As a prince, he has no knowledge and skills, but he just imitates other people's sword and stick skills. If you ask him about political affairs and national policies, he knows nothing about the ancient wise men."

, but when it comes to the secrets of martial arts, the Jianghu forces explained it clearly to me."

Chu Boxiong had an angry look on his face, just like an old man complaining about his child.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Our Chu State relies on military force to establish its foundation in the world. It is understandable that the prince likes swords and guns, and he has inherited the blood of his ancestors. As for political affairs and national policies, these can be cultivated slowly. I have taught the prince before. The prince is very talented, not your majesty.

The kind of person who is uneducated and has no skills."

After listening to Kong Xu's words, Chu Boxiong slammed the table and shouted at him: "Fuck, what kind of talent is there? You know that you, a student, actually went to the brothels! An imperial prince went to the brothels! We have ruined our Chu country."

s face."

Kong Xuzhen

Shocked, he finally understood why when he asked about the reason for Chu Boxiong's anger, both Zhou Kui and Eunuch Hou seemed so weird, and neither of them were willing to reveal the truth. The reason turned out to be that the prince of Chu State went to visit a brothel.

And it's not a brothel like Tianxiang House where elegant celebrities hang out, but a real brothel.

"This..." Kong Xu didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a long time before saying a few words: "Prince, he may have a new idea."

"Bullshit!" Chu Boxiong didn't know how many years he hadn't been so angry. Ever since he became the emperor, the only people who could make him so angry seemed to be those extremely rotten civil servants in the court who liked impeachment and prosecution.

.

As a "veteran" in the officialdom, Kong Xu naturally knew what he should do when the emperor was angry. So when Chu Boxiong yelled that "bullshit", Kong Xu fell to his knees and did not even head.

He raised his head and said to Chu Boxiong: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

When Chu Boxiong saw Kong Xu like this, he knew that he was a little emotional just now, so he said to Kong Xu: "Calm down your anger, calm down your anger. Can you stop kneeling down all the time? When you went into battle to kill the enemy with me before,

, I’ve never seen you live like this?”

Kong Xu naturally did not dare to raise his head and replied: "I didn't kneel before because His Majesty was just a prince, and kneeling to you would be suspected of causing rebellion. Now that Your Majesty has become His Majesty, it is natural for me to kneel to you."

In fact, the meaning of Kong Xu's words is very clear. I am not kneeling to you, but to the emperor of Chu, and my allegiance is not to you, but to this country. Although it is a bit risky to say this, sometimes, it is also true.

This is an attitude, a neutral attitude. Kong Xu is also telling Chu Boxiong in disguise that he will not be won over by anyone, and will not become a member of any camp. I am just a member of the country.

Chu Boxiong twitched his nose a few times. He naturally knew what Kong Xu was thinking. Now the courtiers in the court began to take sides, and he also knew that his two sons began to deliberately cultivate their confidants. At this time, Kong Xu

What Xu said to himself here was naturally telling him that he would not be the target of any prince's wooing.

"Let's not talk about the prince's affairs," Chu Boxiong interrupted Kong Xu's allegiance, "Let's talk about your affairs. How did you do yesterday's affairs?"
