Chapter 128 Very prickly

 After sending Xu Jian away, Eunuch Cao turned around and returned to the imperial court.

The Holy Spirit wrote and reviewed the excerpts.

Eunuch Cao didn't say anything. He only refilled the tea gently, put away the tea cup used by Xu Jian, lifted the curtain and handed it out, and the tea waiter took it away.

While doing things, Eunuch Cao was thinking.

To be able to say that you are so good at not giving face to the prince is to assist the Duke.

The Lord did not sound unhappy after hearing this.

Oh, yes.

The Duke of Fuguo didn’t even give the Holy Emperor face.

Fortunately, these are all matters in daily life, and the Holy Father will not mind. However, it would still be inappropriate if he always refuses to deal with important matters in the court.

Fortunately, Fu Guogong has loosened his mind a lot recently.

Very good.

If the monarch and his ministers can't always agree on an agreement, he will wait on the side with fear.

On the other side, Xu Jian walked out along the palace road.

Halfway through the journey, a guard came towards me, his footsteps hurried, and he was sweating in the cold weather.

Xu Jian looked at the man.

The other party also saw Xu Jian, bowed hastily, and continued running forward.

Xu Jian saw him going to the royal study and made a rough guess: the people sent by the Holy One to dig Li Mi's grave in Jiangzhou were back.

As for the results of digging, it is not something he can find out directly by going to the Imperial Study Room.

Xu Jian withdrew his gaze and walked all the way out of the Nangong Gate to the Qianbu Corridor.

Uncle Cheng Yi now has a casual job in the Hanlin Academy.

It was lunch break, Xu Jian went to the Hanlin Academy, and as soon as he walked in, the officials saw him inside. Some were curious, some saluted, and some acquaintances came up to chat.

"Why is the Duke here?"

Xu Jian cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city: "I just came out of the Imperial Study Room. Your Majesty asked me to give a few words to Uncle Chengyi."

"That's not a coincidence," the man laughed, "Uncle Chengyi is taking a break today, so he should be staying at home."

Xu Jian thanked him and said: "The Lord has told me what to do, so I have no choice but to go to the uncle's house to look for him."

The two sides handed over their hands, and the man sent Xu Jian out of the Hanlin Academy.

Go south along the long street, just past the back gate of Honglu Temple.

Officials of Honglu Temple are also taking a rest.

Seeing Xu Jian's figure, I couldn't say hello since I was young.

There are also those who are not quick-witted, thinking that Xu Jian came to Honglu Temple to look for Liu Jing, and subconsciously wanted to say "Master Liu, please take a break", but his colleagues with quick eyes and quick hands covered their mouths.

As soon as Xu Jian left, his colleague stamped his feet and said: "One is named Liu and the other is Xu. Don't be stupid and treat them like father and son. If you can, don't mention them."

"Aren't they just father and son?"

"Everyone in the court meeting knows that we had several arguments during the next court. It's hard to say what Mr. Liu is thinking. Anyway, Duke Fuguo doesn't like Mr. Liu, but you actually want to mention it in person..."

Xu Jian still walked forward, leaving behind these comments that he was accustomed to.

When they got out of the long street, Shen Chen had already arranged a sedan to wait in front for a while.

"This morning, Grandma He's family said she would stew mutton soup for you to ward off the cold." Shen Chen said as he handed the hand stove he had prepared to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it and said: "If you don't go there now, go directly to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion."

Shen Chen was stunned.

Where?

The Duke of Guo had already boarded the sedan, and the curtain fell down and dangled in front of Shen Chen's eyes.

Shenchen was so shaken that she didn't come back to her senses for a while.

Sincerity uncle's house?

Did he really hear it wrong?

They actually want to go to Uncle Chengyi’s Mansion openly and openly...

As the sedan chair arrived outside the uncle's house, Shen Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Lin Dun accepted the post and welcomed Xu Jian into the door. Soon, Lin Yu came after hearing the news.

"Uncle," Xu Jian saluted and said, "I am here on the orders of the Holy One."

Lin Yu smiled.

Whether it's the business in Laoshi Lane or his cooperation with Xu Jian around the BRIC, it's all under the water.

On the surface, Lin and Xu are just officials in the same dynasty and have a nodding relationship.

Xu Jian is young, but he is also very cautious in doing things. Lin Yu believes that he will not knock on his door rashly.

The one sent by the Holy Spirit is indeed justified.

Lin Yuan led Xu Jian to the study.

When you pass by the hall and porch, you should introduce the way of hospitality to guests.

Xu Jian listened very carefully.

Lin Yu saw it in his eyes and said: "The title is different, so it should be inferior to the Duke's Palace."

"The popularity is different," Xu Jian replied, "Since there are many people in Uncle Chengyi's house, it seems more lively."

Lin Yu chuckled.

At this time, it is not good to be self-effacing.

After entering the study, Lin Ju served tea, then left and guarded the door.

Only then did Xu Jian bring up the previous incident: "The ability to catch Wang in the sixth year was entirely dependent on my uncle's tip. Otherwise, in such a big capital, I really don't know where to find him."

"I just took advantage of it," Lin Yu said. "The Holy One asked the Duke to come over, but what did Wang say in the sixth year?"

Xu Jian avoided the important matter and did not mention the real reason why he was arranged by the Holy Emperor. He only continued to talk about the sixth year of the King's reign.

"The chamberlain is very stubborn. I once tested Eunuch Cao's tone. The king has suffered a lot for six years but refused to explain properly," Xu Jian said, "However, the people who went to Jiangzhou to dig graves came back, and I happened to meet him when I left the palace.

I’m following him, but I don’t know what news I’ll bring back.”

The two exchanged a lot of news and did some sorting.

Involving the death of Prince Ding, all investigations in the royal study room were started based on this, but the investigation into the gold bricks and banned books was dropped.

As long as you don't let the gold bricks see the light for a year and a half, and then find another gold shop to melt them, it will be safe.

Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said, "The Duke said he was under the orders of the Holy One?"

This time, Xu Jian can no longer avoid the topic.

"After the court, I followed the Holy Emperor to Cining Palace and met the princess," Xu Jian said. "I heard from the princess that I found out that before we arrived, the prince went to see the empress dowager first and asked Liu Xun.

Even my younger brother took him with him."

When he heard that it was related to Lin Yunyan, Lin Yue was extremely careful.

As soon as the words came to his lips, Lin Yue understood the relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family, and did not use the term "younger brother" to address him: "Do you know him, the prince?"

"I shouldn't have recognized him at first. He had been at Anlu Academy and only came back these two days," Xu Jian said. "He had evil intentions and asked the princess to drive him away. He didn't even see the Queen Mother."
Lin Yu:……

How could Yun Yan, with her petty temper, lose such a temper in Cining Palace?

How offensive was Liu Xun to get offended like this?

Seeing Lin Yu frowning, Xu Jian thought for a while and said, "The Holy One didn't know that I knew the princess, so he wanted to match him up, so he called me to Cining Palace."

Suddenly, Lin Yan's brows furrowed even more tightly.

The word "match" is very piercing to my ears.

"Uncle, there's no need to be so nervous," Xu Jian not only dared to say, but also dared to say it all the way to the end, "The Queen Mother will most likely not agree to the wishful thinking of the Holy One, so there is no need for you to say no.<

/p>

However, it is also convenient for me. I just take advantage of this incident to visit the uncle's house, so that no one will think of my previous contacts.

It's just that Liu Xun may have bad intentions, and the princess will not be tricked by him, but the Liu family has many tricks, who knows what sinister tricks they will use."
