After Wearing the Book, I Became the Villain’s Contract Beast

Cheng Xiangji bowed his hands to Yan Cong, his attitude was more than respectful, but he was not flattering at all, and he was just right, which made Yan Cong feel that this was a talent worthy of his efforts to win over.

"His Royal Highness the third prince is absurd, and the minister is also doing his best. Liu Liangtao is an unkind official, but he is able to take charge of such an important official position as the capital patrol department under the protection of the regent. Exile in the southwest is already the lightest thing for him. Punishment, third prince, you serve the people wholeheartedly, and the patrol department will be in your hands, so that the hearts of the emperor and the people in the capital will be at ease."

Yan Cong couldn't help laughing out loud, "Lord Cheng and I are really close friends, why don't we go to Zhaxing Tower for a few drinks?"

Cheng Xiangji bowed his head again, with a slight apology on his face, "Thank you for your love, the third prince, but I still have some official duties. The regent's serious illness is a rare opportunity, and it's time for the situation in the Great Yan Dynasty to change."

"It's my great fortune to have such a loyal and good official as Mr. Cheng. Well, then I won't force you. Let's talk about it another day."

Yan Cong left with a smile, but the respectful expression on Cheng Xiangji's face disappeared in an instant. He just stepped out of the Qinzheng Hall, but found Chu Weiran standing there at the corner not far away.

Cheng Xiangji narrowed his eyes slightly, this position, this angle, should be able to see everything inside just now clearly.

Seeing Chu Weiran approaching, Cheng Xiangji bowed his head and cupped his fists, "President Chu hasn't left the palace yet?"

He clearly remembered that Chu Weiran was the first to leave the Palace of Qinzheng after the emperor said the word 'retreat', so why did he deliberately wait outside?

Chu Weiran smiled, as if he didn't see the suspicion in Cheng Xiangji's eyes, "Master Cheng seems to have a lot of opinions on the regent."

He walked forward and down the steps slowly, and Cheng Xiangji could only keep up.

"The regent is monopolizing the government. He has repeatedly committed crimes against his superiors. He doesn't know how to be a minister, and he is suspected of supporting his own soldiers. As a minister of the emperor and an official of the people, he is in his position and seeks responsibility. Naturally, he must devote his entire life. Fight against such treacherous ministers."

Cheng Xiangji never concealed his hostility towards the regent, which was known to the entire court of Yan.

Chu Weiran glanced at him sideways, and said, "Then, in Master Cheng's opinion, who is the most suitable person to inherit the great line?"

"The emperor's body is healthy, and he has not established a crown prince. The lower officials dare not speculate." Cheng Xiangji shook his head, never giving Chu Weiran a chance to test his true thoughts.

Chu Weiran changed the subject again, "But the truth is, Master Cheng hates General Zhong Shengzhong more than the regent. This morning, this is already the fifteenth time you have quarreled this month."

Cheng Xiangji was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Chu Weiran to remember so clearly the number of times he had quarreled with Zhong Sheng.

His reaction seemed to please Chu Weiran, and he smiled again and said, "Master Cheng, the moon is full tonight, so it's better to be the truth, call General Zhong Shengzhong, and the three of us will enjoy the moon and wine together at Qinxiangju." , Truth is willing to be a peacemaker between the two of you, to resolve these unsustainable conflicts, after all, we are all officials in the same dynasty, and you are always so noisy and scolding, it is not very good for your reputation."

Reconcile with Zhong Sheng?

What are you kidding?

Cheng Xiangji was about to refuse, but Chu Weiran didn't give him this chance, "Then it's settled, at Xushi tonight, the truth is waiting for you at Qinxiangju."

After saying that, Chu Weiran suddenly quickened his pace, turned a corner, and disappeared from Cheng Xiangji's sight.
