This call stopped the talking and laughing around.

Apart from congratulating His Majesty at the banquet, this was the first time Huang Cheng spoke.

It was not Cheng Guogong who called out, but the young and inexperienced Hanlin editor.

But it was also this editor of the sixth and seventh ranks who dominated the banquet at this time.

If it weren't for his kneeling and congratulating at that time, Cheng Guogong might still be isolated outside the imperial city at this time.

There is no doubt that Huang Cheng hated Cheng Guogong, but at this moment, he should hate Ning Yunzhao who came out of nowhere, and he still has some regrets.

I really shouldn't have been fooled by this kid's timidity and honesty. At that time, I should have kicked this kid out of the capital and driven to southern Yunnan regardless of His Majesty's benevolence and generosity.

But it's not too late, it's just a puppy just showing its teeth.

Huang Cheng looked at Ning Yunzhao and smiled.

Ning Yunzhao looked over when he heard the call, with a peaceful expression and a decent smile.

"Master Huang." He saluted.

"Master Ning must be very happy." Huang Cheng said, turning the wine glass in his hand, and then glanced at Cheng Guogong, "After all, as he wished, Cheng Guogong returned with honor, and his official position was not in vain. "

As soon as this remark came out, the people present had complex expressions and looked at the emperor anxiously.

Huang Cheng, because of his age, has become more and more naked in attacking people.

One sentence changed today's emperor's gift to Cheng Guogong into Ning Yan's. After all, Ning Yan was dismissed because he tried his best to protect Cheng Guogong.

Now that Cheng Guogong is so honored, it proves that Ning Yan was right at the beginning, and the emperor was wrong.

How could the emperor tolerate such a thing?

A look of uneasiness appeared on the emperor's face.

"Speaking of which, Lord Ning..." He said with a kind and concerned expression.

But Ning Yunzhao took the initiative to take the call.

"My uncle is not happy." He said with a slight sigh.

young people!

Many people present shouted in their hearts, are you too impatient?

Some of them are worried, and some are gloating.

Now is not the time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It is not a good opportunity to reverse the case for your uncle.

Cheng Guogong also looked over, with a gentle expression, neither worried nor surprised.

"What he objected to was the peace negotiation, which has nothing to do with Cheng Guogong." Ning Yunzhao continued, looking at the emperor, "Now that the peace negotiation has been completed, Cheng Guogong has returned safely, hundreds of thousands of people are safe, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, there is no When the things he was worried about appeared, he became more and more ashamed and annoyed."

Say wry smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my uncle for his old man's sullen temper. He is old and unwilling to admit that he was wrong."

After all, bow your head and salute.

That's it... The people present looked weird, it's that simple.

Although the words are simple, they are very effective, and the emperor has already laughed.

"There are different views on this court affairs. Lord Ning is also loyal to the emperor and the country. How could I blame him?" He laughed, "What's more, Lord Ning just argued with me because of court affairs, and he did not disrespect me, let alone Suffocate my pigeons."

Wei Zheng, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, advised the emperor to be extremely strict. Emperor Taizong suffocated the pigeons to death in his arms because he was afraid that he would treat them as playthings.

At this moment, the emperor took this as an example, and everyone present couldn't help being surprised.

This turned out to be comparing Ning Yan to an important minister like Wei Zheng. Of course, everyone knew that the emperor's original intention was to compare himself to Emperor Taizong, but it was still quite surprising.

"Your Majesty is as wise and powerful as Yao and Shun." Ning Yunzhao said immediately, leaning over and kowtowing again, "Taizong is nothing more than that."

Flatterer!

The people present cursed in their hearts at the same time, although they often said good things about the emperor, but the pillars of the country of the saint's children must have some character, how could they speak so nakedly, talking nonsense like those ignorant servants.

This Ning Yunzhao really doesn't look like Ning.

The emperor was obviously a little embarrassed by what he said.

"Editor Ning has already said this, but I don't dare to accept it." He laughed.

Although Ning Yunzhao was kneeling, his back was straight and straight, and he raised his head with a calm expression, without the slightest bit of humbleness to please.

"Young minister, just say what you think, without worrying so much." He said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed again.

"I blame you for what you did." He said, "Not to mention that everyone in the court can speak freely, even in private chats, I am not the kind of person who guards against the mouth of the people."

Hearing this, the other ministers could no longer pretend to be stupid, and kowtowed together with Ning Yunzhao.

"Your Majesty is holy."

All the officials in the hall knelt down to congratulate, and the atmosphere was warm.

Huang Cheng naturally bowed his head in congratulations, but his downcast eyes could not hide his anger.

Well, well, young man, it's very good if you don't lose your face.

.........

………

After the afternoon banquet, the emperor returned to the palace to rest, and all the officials filed out.

Huang Cheng didn't intend to catch up with the emperor to say anything, now was not a good time, the emperor was happy amidst the congratulations from the exiles from the north and Ning Yunzhao.

Knowing when to do something is as important as knowing when not to do something. This is also the secret of his survival through three dynasties.

Huang Cheng walked with a downcast face surrounded by a group of officials. This time the plan had completely failed, and everyone was angry and uneasy.

"I don't know anything about those refugees."

"It's their fault."

"Your Excellency, don't worry, we will investigate right away."

they whispered.

Check, so what if you find out, a good opportunity is just lost.

Not only the exiles from the North, but also Ning Yunzhao, the little bastard who took advantage of his preparation and suddenly stood out in front of the emperor.

Huang Cheng couldn't help but sighed lightly.

"There are so many bad guys," he said.

The officials around him looked ashamed.

"It's our incompetence," they said.

Huang Cheng smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't rush, don't rush, just start over, find out the bad guys one by one and deal with them." He said, coughing a few times while raising his sleeve to cover his mouth.

Although he is old, he is not afraid of the middle-aged and young people. He has killed a lot of middle-aged and young people, so there is nothing special about being young.

"Master Huang."

After walking out of the imperial city, the crowd on the imperial street had already dispersed, and they had returned to their previous solemnity. When everyone got on their horses and dispersed in sedan chairs, someone called Huang Cheng.

Everyone looked back, a little surprised.

The visitor turned out to be Cheng Guogong.

Cheng Guogong actually stopped Huang Cheng? It stands to reason that Ning Yunzhao should be called. After all, today the two of them are the most beautiful singing together, and they also benefit from each other.

Seeing Cheng Guogong approaching, these officials were a little nervous.

"What do you want to do?" Someone even blurted out.

Huang Cheng hummed.

"Duke Cheng is not a scourge, don't act like this." He said kindly.

Cheng Guogong has approached and stood still.

"Master Huang, the fact that I was blocked from entering the city was your arrangement, right?" he said.

His voice is clear and soft, his face is gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, and his demeanor is not inferior to any civil official and Confucian scholar.

But his words were as sharp as a blade, as straightforward as a reckless man, and as unrestrained and naive as a child.

The faces of the officials present all changed.
