Chapter 229 Time is almost up
Daxing City.
This capital, which once symbolized the prosperity of the Great Chu, is now also the last fig leaf of the Great Chu glory. What is covered is not the shy people who know how to be shy, but a group of shy people.
The city still looks as prosperous as before, all kinds of dignitaries are still in a rage, the clothes on women are still like beautiful flowers, and the swords on men can still guide the country.
Eastern Palace.
Prince Yang Jing sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall in a daze. He should be in a daze. He looked down at the ground. What could the ground be bare?
There are a few ants passing by, maybe they are running around for life, just like the people in this country.
Wen Xiudao, the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace, trotted back from outside, and went to Yang Jing and leaned over and bowed, "Your Highness, Lord Superintendent, please see you."
Yang Jing, who was lowering his head, had a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes, but when he raised his head, there was only surprise left on his face.
"Why is Yafu coming?"
When the prince spoke the word "Afu", he did not hesitate at all, and was even quite excited.
The eunuch Liu Chongxin, the chief eunuch in the Investigation Department, walked slowly from outside. After seeing Prince Yang Jing, he looked around and walked a few steps, leaned over and said, "Your Highness."
Yang Jing ran to Liu Chongxin, held Liu Chongxin's arm with both hands and said, "Father Ya, you miss me, have you come to see me specifically?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Liu Chongxin laughed out loud, and then said in a very proud but somewhat sincere tone: "Your Highness, you can no longer call Lao Nu the name of the father of the elder in the future. Lao Nu is His Majesty's old slave and His Majesty's old slave. This will make the courtiers say that Your Highness is not good."
Yang Jing shook his hand and said, "I'm still afraid of them? Those people are not worried about a group of wine and food items."
He asked Liu Chongxin, "Father Ya, what good news is there?"
Liu Chongxin nodded and said, "The imperial envoy who was heading to Jizhou has already set off. With His Majesty's order, His Majesty heard the old slave talk about Jizhou and knew that there were a few little thieves outside the capital, so he agreed to Your Highness's request and transferred Prince Wu's army to return to Jingzhou to wipe out the rebels."
Yang Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a terrified expression: "Those rebels are so terrible. They have already arrived in Jingzhou. If they don't transfer Prince Wu back, they might dare to attack the capital. After transferring Prince Wu back, they will kill all the villains and kill the nine clans!"
"Yes, yes, what Your Highness said is that of course, the nine clans will be punished."
Liu Chongxin said with some embarrassment: "But I didn't want to recall Prince Wu back at the beginning. Prince Wu doesn't like him, and I don't like him either."
"Father Ya, let him come back and wipe out the rebels, and then let him get out."
Yang Jing held Liu Chongxin's hand and said, "Father Ya, look at me, I have recently thought of a new thing, I'll take you to see."
Liu Chongxin smiled and said, "Your Highness is just playing tricks."
Yang Jing took Liu Chongxin to the open space, pointed to the grids he had drawn, and pointed to the tiles opposite him and said, "I haven't thought of any good name yet, just call it Kilwa. I'll demonstrate it to Yafu."
Liu Chongxin looked at it with a smile. After watching it a few times, Yang Jing pulled him to play with it. Soon the tiles were broken. Yang Jing was obviously a little unhappy and looked left and right. There was no new tiles. So he pointed to the roof and said, "Go and remove the tiles for me!"
Liu Chongxin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, this is not possible. If the court officials know about it, they will say that your highness is not good."
"What does it have to do with my house's tiles? Are these people sick? If they talk nonsense, I will ask someone to demolish the tiles in their house."
Yang Jing said: "Go quickly and take it apart for me."
Liu Chongxin still wanted to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to do this, but Yang Jing just didn't listen. No one could persuade him. He was having fun and let him stop? How could it be?
A group of eunuchs and guards from the East Palace quickly brought a ladder and climbed onto the roof to lift the tiles for His Royal Highness to the room.
Liu Chongxin couldn't persuade him, so he had to play with Yang Jing. After playing for more than half an hour, he said that there was something important to go back to the palace. Yang Jing was still unhappy and said that even his father had not had enough fun with him. Liu Chongxin had to say that he would come again tomorrow, and Yang Jing let him go.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Liu Chongxin did not return to the palace city, but went directly to the Yuwen family.
Everyone in Daxing City knows where the mansion of the Yuwen family is, and it covers a vast area, not much smaller than that of the palace city. No one cares about such violations because His Majesty doesn't care about it.
Your Majesty has not been to court for decades, and he has never been willing to meet the adults all year round. He is annoyed when he glances at him. Everything is passed down by Liu Chongxin. If Liu Chongxin doesn't say it, the emperor doesn't know. After Liu Chongxin said it, the emperor also felt that he was too lazy to care about it. It would be better to play more by himself.
Liu Chongxin seemed to be very familiar with this place, and he didn't need anyone to lead him after entering the door. He went directly outside Yuwen Chonghe's study. He knocked outside the door and said, "Old Fox Yuwen, I'm here."
Yuwen Chonghe is already in his sixties, but he doesn't look so old. Perhaps it's because he has been pampering for a long time, or perhaps it's because he still practices daily, so he looks young.
"How did the Lord of the Supervisor arrive?"
Yuwen Chonghe hurriedly held Liu Chongxin's arm and entered the door: "The Supervisor came to my house as a guest. You should send someone to inform me first. Look at me, I am not prepared for anything, so wouldn't it seem that the Supervisor has neglected."
Liu Chongxin laughed and said, "Old Fox Yuwen, do you still need to be so polite when I come to you?"
He sat down and said, "I just went to the East Palace and played with His Highness for a while."
Yuwen Chonghe asked, "Your Highness... How are you doing recently? I haven't seen Your Highness for a while."
Liu Chongxin said: "It's great. I came up with a new trick in the past two days. I actually asked someone to take the tiles off and kick them out. You said that our prince is even better than ours."
Yuwen Chong sighed: "Your Highness was famous when he was young, and he rarely suffered a defeat in debates with others at the age of seven. Why do you become more and more like a child as you grow older?"
Liu Chongxin said: "Nothing strange is that our Majesty is still like that now?"
He picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Your Highness is nothing to be fun, if he is not fun at all..."
He looked at Yuwen Chonghe, and Yuwen Chonghe immediately laughed, like an old fox. He laughed, and Liu Chongxin also laughed.
"Yes, your highness is nothing to be fun."
Yuwen Chong said, "Your Highness is a little playful. You don't understand the state affairs. Are you still instructing and helping the governor? Are you still the assistants of us ministers?"
Liu Chongxin smiled and said, "That's the reason. A few years ago, I saw that the Crown Prince wanted to take care of everything, but I felt a little awkward. Since last year, the Prince didn't want to take care of anything anymore, so I felt a little awkward."
He looked at Yuwen Chonghe and said, "If Your Highness is really so playful, we ministers and slaves should let Your Highness play for a few more years."
Yuwen Chonghe laughed and said, "Only we can play if you have something to play."
Liu Chongxin laughed and asked Yuwen Chonghe after a while: "I'm here to ask you something. Can you control him after Prince Wu comes back?"
He suddenly became serious. Yuwen Chonghe, who was originally smiling, quickly put away his smile and leaned over and said, "Don't worry, Lord, we will not let Prince Wu enter the capital directly. Isn't that good? He is back because he is back, and he can't come in..."
Liu Chongxin, who had just raised his face, burst into laughter again, pointed at Yuwen Chonghe and said, "Old fox, I just said you are a fucking old fox, hahahaha... Just do that. Prince Wu returns to Jingzhou to wipe out the rebels. After the battle, he will let him continue to go back to Jizhou. I think Prince Yu is not a good bird, so it is good to let their brothers kill each other."
Yuwen Chong congratulated: "The governor is far-reaching in his mind, and I admire him."
Liu Chongxin said: "I saw several palace maids with strange faces in the palace yesterday. I asked, "I asked, "You sent someone to offer them to Your Majesty?"
Yuwen Chonghe immediately stood up and leaned over and said, "I have already reported this to the Supervisor. Didn't the people below talk to the Supervisor?"
Liu Chongxin waved his hand and said, "People below say to me? I may be willing to meet you when I will. In the future, it is better for you to tell me personally, so as not to be like this time. I will beat everyone to death, and then I will know that you have arranged to enter the palace, which is not good."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Yuwen Chong said: "It's indeed my negligence. Don't worry, the Lord Supervisor, there will never be a second such thing."
Liu Chongxin's gloomy appearance disappeared in an instant, much faster than the unique skills on the West Shu Road.
He smiled and said, "If Lord Yuwen wants to serve Your Majesty more, tell me, I know what Your Majesty likes, and I also know what Your Majesty doesn't like. Come and tell me, I will help you choose."
He stood up and said, "I won't disturb you much."
After saying that, he strode out. Before Yuwen Chonghe had time to put on his shoes, he followed Liu Chongxin barefoot all the way to see him off.
Of course Liu Chongxin noticed it, but he didn't say it. Until he left the Yuwen family's gate, Liu Chongxin looked back at Yuwen Chonghe and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, look at Duke, you are a slave, you are a slave. Why did you come out without wearing shoes?"
He kicked his shoes off and threw them on the ground: "Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."
Yuwen Chonghe quickly leaned over to thank him. Instead of circulating Liu Chongxin's shoes, he leaned over to pick up the two shoes and thanked him again.
Liu Chongxin laughed, got in the car, and waved his hand: "Let's go, go back to the palace."
When he got home, Yuwen Chonghe handed the pair of shoes in his hand to his supervisor: "Go, clean it, then put it in a jade box and place it on my desk so that everyone knows about it."
"yes!"
The manager quickly put away the shoes and ordered someone to wash them.
Soon, Yuwen Chonghe's eldest son Yuwen Chi came in from outside, his face a little ugly. He waved his hand and said, "Go out."
All the servants in the room immediately retreated.
Yuwen Chi looked at Yuwen Chong and congratulated: "Father, when will you still endure that eunuch?"
"At most half a year."
Yuwen Chonghe pointed to the teapot. Yuwen Chi hurried over to change his father a new pot of tea, and then poured a cup for his father.
Yuwen Chong said, "It's almost time. I have asked someone to continue the order. If the rebels outside the city lean on the capital, the old fox Liu Chongxin would be afraid, so he had already sent an order to Jizhou to transfer Prince Wu back."
He looked at Yuwen Chi and said, "It's only half a year."
Yuwen Chi asked: "What if Prince Wu doesn't come back?"
Yuwen Chong said, "If he doesn't come back, aren't you afraid that Da Chu will disappear? No matter how big the matter in northern Xinjiang is, it's not that big of the matter in Jingzhou."
He leaned back and squinted his eyes and said, "You can think about how many charges Liu Chongxin has. Whoever takes it out first will be easier for His Royal Highness to remember whom."
