The two got into the car and sat facing each other.
Nanchuan didn't have the airs of a prince, so he poured him a cup of tea: "Zuohou, please give me some tea. Please warm yourself up first."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and felt the heat spreading, dispelling the chill, and could not help but squint his eyes in pleasure.
He didn't know much about this thirteenth prince. He only knew that Nanchuan was very capable. Unfortunately, he had a bad life and died young.
He didn't know exactly how he died, but it seemed like... he died of a sudden illness.
Nanchuan saw this and said with a smile: "The Zuohou has lived in Xiyun Mansion for a long time and is not very accustomed to the environment in the capital."
"It's okay, just a little damp."
Zuo Chongming circulated the sword energy in his body and pushed back all the moisture.
Compared with Jinyunzhou, which has four distinct seasons and a harsh climate, the environment in Beijing is much better in all aspects.
However, nothing is perfect in this world. Although the climate in Beijing is pleasant, there is always a wet season of one or two months every year.
The weather was extremely humid during this period. It was suffocating if I wore too much clothes, and I felt cold if I didn't wear enough clothes.
Although this is nothing to a warrior, it does not mean that it is not disgusting.
Moisture is like having a trash can next to you. It doesn't cause any harm, but the smell is unpleasant.
When Zuo Chongming worked in a studio in his previous life, he rarely received business from here.
"It's funny to say that."
Nanchuan opened the curtains, looked at the drizzle outside, and said softly: "After Zuo Hou entered the capital, the capital became quiet."
Zuo Chongming laughed dumbly: "Your Highness, I am so complimentary, how can I have such great ability?"
Nanchuan smiled calmly and said meaningfully: "It's not that I am praising you, it's that Zuo Hou is being humble."
"Marquis Zuo may not know that I have been working in the Ministry of Rites. I have read all the memorials submitted by Marquis Zuo."
"oh?"
Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes and looked a little solemn.
Although the rank of the Sixth Division is not high, their powers and duties cover a wide range of areas, and they all have real power, so their status is not low at all.
The Ministry of Etiquette has three departments, and there is also a memorial hall. This department is responsible for statistics, screening, and reviewing memorials submitted from various places.
Yes, it has the right to approve memorials.
The Wu Dynasty had such a big stall that Emperor Wu could not handle it by himself.
Memorials from all over the country were screened in advance and then reviewed by the Ministry of Rites before they were sent to Emperor Wu.
Although Zuo Chongming was an official of the Zhenfu Division, Xiyun Mansion was his fief, so the military and political affairs took control of him.
Memorials involving demons will be handled by the Zhenfusi. However, people's livelihood, government affairs and other matters must go through the hands of the Memorial Hall.
Since Nanchuan has read his memorial, it means that he was once an official of the memorial hall.
Maybe, someone else has reviewed it.
"Zoujikan?"
Zuo Chongming was astonished and said in admiration: "His Highness is actually serving there. It is really beyond my expectation."
By the way, there's something I need to talk about.
Direct members of the royal family like Nanchuan have two paths to choose from.
Those who want to lie back and enjoy themselves will usually get a virtual title and receive an annual allowance. Anyway, the imperial family has a great business, so it doesn't matter if they raise some rice bugs.
If you want to work hard, Emperor Wu will also give you opportunities and arrange to go to various institutions for training.
Generally speaking, most female relatives are in the former category, while most male relatives are in the latter category.
Of course, there are also rare items such as heroines and princes, but they are only in very small quantities.
Nanchuan sighed: "The world only sees that Zuo Hou is very powerful, but they don't know that Zuo Hou is equally good at managing people's livelihood. This palace feels inferior to him."
Zuo Chongming paid more attention to him and said calmly: "Your Highness has given you too much praise."
"It's even funnier."
Nanchuan smiled and said: "When the news of Zuo Hou's arrival in the capital came to the capital, the capital was indeed calm, but after Zuo Hou came to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit and visit the prime minister, the capital was in chaos again."
Zuo Chongming looked confused: "Oh? Why is this?"
Nanchuan smiled half-heartedly, looked at him and asked, "Don't you know, Marquis Zuo?"
"I don't know."
Zuo Chongming's face was full of honesty and honesty.
Nanchuan did not give any clues and continued: "Recently, my Seventh Emperor brother is spreading his manpower to find a mother and son. The mother's name is Liu Qingqing."
"Um?"
"The strange thing is that the Prime Minister also sent out manpower."
"Huh?"
"What's even more strange is that I accidentally discovered that although the Prime Minister is also looking for the mother and son, he is not looking for...Liu Qingqing."
"Eh?"
Zuo Chongming's current performance is that the people who eat melon have smelled the shocking gossip, and their faces are full of expressions of "I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked".
Nanchuan looked at this bitch speechlessly, and couldn't help but twitching at the corners of his eyes.
Ren was extremely well-educated and had a stable mentality, but looking at Zuo Chongming's attitude of pretending to be stupid, he still had the urge to scold his mother.
Is it disgusting? Is it disgusting? Is it despicable?
I've already talked about this, and you're still pretending to be here with me.
call…….
After taking a few deep breaths, Nanchuan couldn't help but curse in his mind: "The world's evaluation of this piece of shit is really true - if you don't see a rabbit, you won't let go of an eagle."
Calm your mind and smile.
Nanchuan smiled reservedly and said: "It is said that Zuo Hou had a lot of luck and obtained the inheritance of the ancient Tianji Pavilion - the Book of Escape and the Jade Scroll of Wentian."
"It just so happens that not long ago, I got two jade scroll fragments by chance. I will give them to Zuo Hou today and make the best use of them."
Zuo Zhongming smiled shyly: "How embarrassing..."
Nanchuan twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at his paws with empty eyes.
Are you fucking sorry?
Sorry, don't reach out.
Why are you pressing so hard?
Although he was scolding fiercely in his heart, Nanchuan still had a smile on his face, and even served him some tea himself: "As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes."
Zuo Chongming put away the two fragments, glanced outside leisurely, and said through a message: "Prime Minister Wei, the incense has not stopped."
"puff……"
Nanchuan spit out a mouthful of tea and stared at him dumbfounded: "You, what did you say?"
This news was so heavy. Although he guessed that the matter was deep-rooted, he never imagined that it would be... so scary.
Do you still remember the speculations made by Qiqi and Chen Tianlong not long ago?
They guessed partly wrong. Zuo Chongming actually did not intend to kill the prime minister.
But at the same time, he also guessed part of the truth. The Prime Minister's faction is indeed centered on Wei Tao. Once Wei Tao dies, this faction will definitely split.
Wei Tao is already old, and he has been hit hard one after another recently by Wei Wen's incident.
Many people are maliciously speculating that Wei Tao may not be able to survive for long.
When he died suddenly, it was the time when the Prime Minister's faction split. It was also when the competition between princes intensified and the situation was completely out of control.
Because of that bowl of jelly, everyone suspected that Zuo Zhongming secretly killed Wei Wen, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
Because of this, everyone felt that after Zuo Chongming entered the capital, even if the Holy Emperor did not kill him, Wei Tao would not let him go.
But what I never expected was that Zuo Chongming first left the palace safely, and then visited the prime minister and came out safely...
Two things happened in succession, which immediately confused everyone.
When the situation was unclear, everyone did not dare to act rashly and unanimously chose to wait and see.
This is the core reason for the sudden calm in Beijing.
"etc."
Nanchuan frowned: "If the news is true, why didn't the Prime Minister and Nan Yu find the same people? Could it be..."
He suddenly thought of a key point, suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party, and said word by word: "Could it be that Wei Wen's death was caused by my imperial brother..."
Zuo Chongming coughed lightly, took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand."
This kind of mysterious gesture only made Nanchuan more and more sure of his suspicions.
After a moment of silence, Zuo Chongming asked curiously: "By the way, I heard that His Highness has a sister?"
Nanchuan nodded absentmindedly: "Well, my sister from the same mother, what's wrong?"
"how old is she?"
Zuo Chongming squinted his eyes to hide the glare in his eyes.
Nanchuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed a strange look: "Zuohou, you..."
Zuo Chongming knew at a glance that he had misunderstood, and said righteously: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking."
"Forehead……"
Nanchuan didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my sister and Zuo Hou are quite compatible. Zuo Hou is now seventeen or eighteen, and my sister has just turned fifteen."
Zuo Chongming coughed dryly and said calmly: "I am already married. Your Highness, it is better not to say this again. I am a very dedicated person."
"..."
Nanchuan's eyelids trembled and he couldn't help falling into silence.
Good guy, Zuo Chongming, the champion of the imperial court and the envoy of the town, turned out to be a dedicated man?
If these words were leaked out, I'm afraid it would make everyone in the world laugh.
——
——
At the same time, the prince's residence.
Nan Yu paced the room with his hands behind his back, feeling full of tangles in his heart.
He was not thinking about the prime minister, but what Zuo Chongming had said to him that day about his quirks.
call…….
A gust of fragrant wind came, and Hu Mei's figure appeared beside him, calling softly: "Master."
Nan Yu frowned and said, "A few days ago, Zuo Chongming once revealed something to me about the seven-tailed celestial fox in Qingqiu."
Hu Mei's heart trembled, a complicated look flashed through her eyes, but her voice was still respectful: "I wonder what the master's orders are?"
Nan Yu didn't notice anything strange about her and said to himself: "From what he said, it seems that he wants to give the seven-tailed fox to this palace."
"After several days of hard thinking, I have vaguely thought of the intention of his words. Zuo Chongming probably wants to use Tianhu to make a deal with us."
Hu Meili was stunned for a moment: "What deal?"
Nan Yu said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, he visited the Prime Minister. In order to prove that he did not kill Wei Wen, he told the Prime Minister that the relationship between the Wei family and the family was still alive."
"Just yesterday, Zuo Zonghe, the commander of the inner guard, had found Liu Qingqing's mother and son, and secretly used secret methods to check that they were of Wei family blood."
"Zuo Zonghe?"
Hu Mei's beautiful eyes widened, and the shock in her heart was simply beyond words.
Zuo Chongming really hit the mark, he was absolutely right.
"Haha, are you surprised?"
Nan Yu said proudly: "My father is in poor health. As his close confidants, the internal guards will definitely be eliminated after my father dies. Zuo Zonghe is not a fool. He is looking for a way out in advance to show goodwill to our palace...
…”
"I see."
Hu Mei quickly gathered her thoughts and concealed the sympathy in her eyes by lowering her head.
