When Huang Cheng came to Qinzheng Hall, Yuan Bao was holding tea for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, what are we doing so angry." He said in a low voice.

"It wasn't enough for me to pretend to be a grandson before, but now I have to pretend to be a grandson." The emperor said angrily.

Their conversation was in the Shandong dialect. Although they were born in the capital, the empress sent him to the fief early at the time. The emperor and the prince were not willing to part with it. The other princes did not set up a mansion so early to go to the fief, but the queen said It's fine for other princes, because the prince born to her is no exception.

The emperor also knew that the queen was always upright, so he could only sigh and be pleased to send King Qi away.

Although the wet nurses and others who followed were all from the palace, the palace was complicated. There were servants bought locally and gifts from local officials. There were many local people in the mansion, so King Qi still learned the local dialect. After the letter, King Qi deliberately began to speak the local dialect, which gradually became a habit. Later, when he went to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday, other relatives of the emperor made fun of his Shandong dialect, which made the emperor furious.

Thinking about what happened back then, Yuan Bao sighed a little.

"That's right, Your Majesty, there's no need to do this." He said, "He offended you. If you don't like him, just kick him out. You are the emperor now, and you have nothing to say."

This is the truth, and it is comfortable to listen to. Of course, those ministers are not willing to tell the truth. It seems that to praise him is to become a treacherous minister and lose face in front of the world.

Well, not everyone, that Ning Yan's nephew Ning Yunzhao is different.

After thinking about it wildly, the emperor smiled and felt a little better.

"It's not that easy," he said.

"It's not that difficult. How can an official be right? The slaves don't believe it." Yuan Bao said.

This is also a big truth, no one is perfect, no gold has bare feet, as long as you have the heart, you can always find mistakes, the emperor laughed.

"Yes, take your time." His eyes were somewhat angry and somewhat gloomy, "I am sorry for him, and he is the one who is sorry for me."

The news of Huang Cheng's arrival came from the eunuch outside the door.

Yuan Bao hurriedly wanted to leave.

"You stay here." The emperor said, stroking the memorial in front of him, "What I want to talk about is about De Shengchang, so listen to it too."

In response, Yuan Bao dropped his hands and stepped aside.

When Huang Cheng was announced, he tremblingly wanted to kowtow. At other times, the emperor would have stopped granting him a seat, but this time the emperor just looked down at the memorial and didn't seem to see him.

Huang Cheng knelt down and called out to His Majesty.

"It's not enough for you to borrow Lu Yunqi's things, are you going to borrow something from the Duke?" The emperor said without raising his head, "I'm in a hurry to reward his people with meritorious deeds?"

Huang Cheng hurriedly bent over to the ground.

"I dare not," he said tremblingly.

The emperor threw the memorial on the table with a snap.

"Why don't you dare? You dare to lie about King Huai being bewitched by evil spirits, and let Lu Yunqi guard Huai Palace for you. Why don't you dare to fight Duke Cheng first and then win over?" He shouted, "Anyway, you They are good people on the outside, so let me be a bad person, right?"

Hearing these words, Huang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, as Lu Yunqi did things properly.

It is very appropriate to guard Huai Wang's mansion and prevent Cheng Guogong's son from entering.

Lu Yunqi would definitely not hide the matter from His Majesty about looking for him in private, but if he asked him to speak when the Emperor asked De Shengchang, he could not tell the Emperor.

This is what the emperor hates the most. Lu Yunqi can only be used by him alone, and Lu Yunqi used by ministers is not reliable.

But guarding Prince Huai's mansion and preventing Cheng Guogong's son from approaching, this matter is no problem.

To do things, you have to mix the real and the fake so that you can't be suspected.

Commander Lu achieved such a status with such a lowly status, and it was not just luck.

"Your Majesty, the old minister dare not." Huang Cheng wept bitterly and kowtowed repeatedly, "I am worried about King Huai. If King Huai does something good or bad, His Majesty will suffer from it. If you care about it, you will be confused. I would rather be wrong a hundred times." Don't dare to let it go once. As for rewarding De Shengchang, it's not for Cheng Guogong, and it's not for Cheng Guogong's credit. Your Majesty serves the country faithfully, but I can't see Duke Cheng acting as if his own people did all the work, and it's all his own credit."

Yes, it belonged to him. The emperor looked at Huang Cheng who kowtowed with a heavy expression, and he was angry and depressed, but he became Duke Cheng's pocket.

He raised his hand and took a few pictures.

"Enough!" he shouted.

Huang Cheng immediately stopped crying and kowtowing, and bent down on the ground silently.

The emperor sighed.

"If you have something to say, how decent is it to cry and cry!" He shouted.

Huang Cheng wiped his tears and looked up.

"The minister is terrified in his heart, lest he do something wrong and cause His Majesty and injustice." He said.

The emperor sighed and did not speak.

"Your Majesty, I do not deceive you. It is selfish for me to ask Your Majesty to reward De Shengchang." Huang Cheng raised his head and said.

The emperor looked at him.

"Nowadays, the country's affairs are so difficult and complicated." Huang Cheng continued, "First, there were wars that cost the people and money, and now there are hundreds of thousands of fugitives waiting to be resettled. Rewarding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals such as Cheng Guogong has exhausted the treasury. Your Majesty, I am so worried that I cannot sleep."

He said and looked at the emperor cautiously.

"Since De Shengchang is so rich and dedicated to serving the country wholeheartedly, it is better to let them pay for the resettlement of the fugitives."

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yep, that got his money back.

Yes, it was originally his money.

The emperor sat up straight.

"It's just that it will cost a lot, is De Shengchang willing?" He said hesitantly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Huang Cheng's mouth.

"Could it be a king's minister on the coast of the land?" He said, "What's more, it's not for nothing, it's just a temporary loan, and give the Fang family a name and a rich salary, so that they can honor their ancestors. Why don't you want to?"

He said with a smile.

"Life is alive, the name is left in the history, and the money is nothing more than the dung outside the body. The Fang family is so rich, so it is natural to know how much grace this is."

The emperor looked down at the memorial on the table, took the ink pen and ticked it.

"Let the cabinet discuss this matter," he said.

Huang Cheng leaned over and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty is wise," he said loudly, raising his hands.

Yuan Bao, who was on the side, came over and took the memorial and handed it to Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng raised his head, as if he only saw Yuan Bao at this moment, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Eunuch Yuan, long time no see." He said.

Yuan Bao smiled at him and retreated without saying a word.

…………

………….

"Originally, I wanted to invite my lord, but after hearing that eunuch's words suddenly, His Majesty changed his mind." A Jin Yiwei whispered.

Lu Yunqi was sitting on a chair, turning a small dagger with a dull expression, as if he was listening to him and seemed to be in a daze.

"Why did Yuan Bao suddenly return to the capital? He seems to be doing some errand for His Majesty for so many years." Jiang Qianhu said from the side, "Should we check him..."

Lu Yunqi raised his hand.

"Since it is His Majesty's errand, it cannot be investigated." He said.

Jiang Qianhu hastily replied yes.

Lu Yunqi waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei backed out.

"Your Majesty has always trusted Your Majesty. When this man named Yuan came, His Majesty saw that he did not see Your Majesty. I was worried that this man named Yuan was not kind." Jiang Qianhu said in a low voice.

"Believe it or not, it depends on doing things." Lu Yunqi said, "Everyone does his own thing, and each gets his own trust. There is nothing to worry about."

Jiang Qianhu responded yes.

"Also, is there still no news about that woman in Guanmiao?" Lu Yunqi asked suddenly.

Jiang Qianhu shook his head.

"I've been investigating for more than a year, and it just disappeared out of thin air." He whispered.

Lu Yunqi pressed the dagger in his hand on the table.

"There's never been anything out of thin air in this world," he said.

He stood up and withdrew his hand, the dagger had sunk into the table with only the hilt remaining.

"Keep checking," he said.

Jiang Qianhu responded yes.
