Chapter 923
Zhang Zhutou and Wang Xiaoer next to him were confused, no one understood better than them, they didn't sign anything at all, what did they draw, how could there be these things?
They looked at the paper in Zhang Yan's hand and were puzzled.
However, you can't ignore them now, after all, compared to the behind-the-scenes scenes, they are just a tool in the hands of others! That's a fart! Naturally, people don't pay attention to these two mustards!
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Ji sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, this matter is very important, and it has to be verified, after all, the cause and effect of this are unpredictable!" ”
Zhang Ji's words disappointed everyone for a while, this guy actually resigned!
However, Zhu Houzhao is convinced of Yiming's character and will never take out some useless evidence, and since he has taken it out, in fact, this matter is basically eight or nine years old, no, it is definitely a sure thing! When he saw Zhang Jian refusing like this, his face sank, and he opened his mouth to force Zhang Jian to say this answer.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" A voice suddenly interjected.
Hey! Everyone was shocked, this voice was very familiar, but it was not the accent of the people present! Moreover, someone actually stubble at such an important moment, is this a headless? Just because, everyone can see that Zhu Houzhao is in a bad mood, and besides, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been willful and reckless, extremely bold, when someone interrupts him when he is in high spirits, he will definitely go crazy, and someone will be unlucky!
However, there are many people who are old and respectful, such as Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia and others, they will naturally not be so shallow in their hearts, just because they know that since the person who came to speak out at this important moment, then, first, he does not know that this moment is very important to Zhu Houzhao, and second, he must have the bottom in his heart and will not be angered, they believe that the reason must be the latter.
Yo! Everyone instantly recognized the person, it was none other than His Majesty the Emperor's close minister, Chen Zhun, the governor of Dongchang Factory!
Zhu Houzhao frowned, he was indeed a little unhappy and wanted to be mad, but when he saw that it was Chen Zhun, he was embarrassed to pursue it again, after all, how many times had he been scolded by his father, or what Chen Zhun said, and what he did allowed him to be exempted from scolding, according to his character with clear grievances, how could he take revenge!
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao just snorted coldly, "Flatten!" ”
"Your Highness!" Chen Zhun's face did not change and he flattened his hands.
Yes! Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao let out a strange sound, and his voice was full of surprise. Obviously, he was extremely surprised!
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Zhu Houzhao, afraid that something would happen to the prince!
However, Zhu Houzhao was sitting upright, with a shocked face on his face, but he quickly retracted, and he could no longer see a trace of surprise.
Hey! Those who are familiar with Zhu Houzhao know that this kid is definitely pretending, and that exclamation is definitely discovering or seeing something!
Liu Jian and the other three pavilion elders couldn't help but glance at each other, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes, but the important thing now is to greet Chen Zhun, although they are auxiliary ministers, cabinet elders, and are in charge of military and political affairs, however, this Chen Zhun is also a person who is not easy to offend.
They all bowed their hands and saluted Chen Zhun.
As for Ming Zhongxin, he hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, after all, the person who came was a guest, and as the host, how could he sit upright to welcome the guest!
And Lu Mingyuan, who was on the side, also restrained his smile, stood up with a solemn face, and stepped forward.
Liu Jian and the others looked at Lu Mingyuan, and secretly wondered in their hearts, what is going on? Speaking of which, the relationship between Lu Mingyuan and Chen Zhun is also very deep, how could he be so solemn, shouldn't he!
Suddenly, they thought of a possibility, and their faces couldn't help but change drastically, and they looked up.
Seeing this, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Liu Daxia were in great shape, and they hurriedly stood up and walked towards Chen Zhun.
The rest of them are all wondering, what's going on? What happened to these important court officials? Could it be that this Chen Zhun deserves so much attention?
Shou Ninghou and Wu Dinghou were even more puzzled, it shouldn't be! These important ministers are all people whose faces have not changed when Mount Tai collapses in front of them! One Chen Zhun scared their faces to change greatly? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at Chen Zhun, and at this glance, they could also see that their bodies were shocked, and they hurriedly stood up, and they couldn't even care if the tea cup on the table next to them was knocked over!
King Ning was dumbfounded, his face was full of incredulity, and the direction of his gaze was directly the direction where Chen Zhun was.
However, Zhang Ji was still entangled in whether to accept His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and only gave gifts to Chen Zhun and did not pay attention to these things.
Xie Yuanyang and Li Yunqi couldn't hide the look of shock in their eyes, after all, every guest came, they all gave a salute first, and then observed carefully, after all, their intentions were different from others, and the most important thing was that they also shouldered some responsibilities.
Xiao Sa had a hint of essence in his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness, and even a hint of viciousness in his eyes, the only thing he didn't have was a look of shock.
Zhang Zhutou and Wang Xiaoer next to him were puzzled, what happened to these big shots? Could it be that this Lord Chen is really a noble status? Otherwise, how could it have made them change their complexion so much? I was even more remorseful in my heart, I knew that this Ming Zhongxin knew so many big people, why should we embarrass others!
Ming Zhongxin came to Chen Zhun and bowed down and said, "I've seen Your Majesty!" ”
This sound, like thunder, resounded in the hall.
The Ming family, Zhang Zhutou, and Wang Xiaoer next to him all looked dumbfounded, looking at Chen Zhun in disbelief.
After all, Ming Zhongxin's salutes were all towards Chen Zhun.
However, they saw Chen Zhun jump and flash to the side, revealing the person behind him.
But it turned out that Chen Zhun was still leading people behind him, but after Chen Zhun came in, he first saluted the prince Zhu Houzhao, and people only paid attention to Chen Zhun, but ignored the people behind him.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Lu Mingyuan slowed down Ming Zhongxin by half a beat, looked at the person in front of him with strange eyes, and bowed his hand.
"I've seen Your Majesty!" Liu Jian and the others took a step forward and bowed in unison.
Although the person in front of them was a brocade robe, no different from the dress of an ordinary rich family, however, looking up, that face was full of majesty in warmth, and full of luxury in kindness, it was none other than Emperor Hongzhi!
But it turned out that Emperor Hongzhi actually came with Chen Zhun!
No one thought of this scene!
But it is precisely because everyone didn't expect it that they are so shocked and feel so incredible.
You must know that Ming Zhongxin is still just a talent, above the court, no matter whether he is a grade, even if Lu Mingyuan is just a grass man now, not to mention, he was still a general offender back then. The invitation of the two of them, to put it mildly, even if people don't come, no one can say that they are rude, but everyone comes, it is just reading an old relationship, as for Ming Zhongxin, it is not seen by others at all, even if he is amazing, but what is the person, he is an important minister of the court, a dynasty old, and the status is too different!
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came only because he was the prince's companion selected by His Majesty, and His Majesty spoke, so that the prince came.
Everyone said, didn't the prince come last time?
The difference is that last time, it was just that the prince was willful and reckless, how could the prince of a country move lightly! I believe that if the crown prince showed His Majesty last time, His Majesty would never allow him to support a showman! At most, it is just secretly supporting, just like Jinyiwei and Dongchang are secretly protecting the Ming family, however, these are all for Lu Mingyuan's sake! These are the thoughts in everyone's hearts.
However, who would have thought that not only the crown prince came today, but even His Majesty also came, how did he say this! That's too much face! Even if His Majesty came only in small clothes, all these records of His Majesty's deeds will be destroyed later, but in the eyes of everyone present, they are also shocked! Is Your Majesty so fond of this Ming Zhongxin? Or is it just to see Mr. Lu?
No one knows this!
Now, everyone can only press the shock in their hearts and salute first!
But Zhang Zhutou and Wang Xiaoer next to him had already sat on the ground, trembling violently, full of excitement and shock. O Emperor! I actually met His Majesty the Emperor! This is really a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation! Take it out, you can brag about it for a lifetime, ah, no, you can brag about it for a few lifetimes! Those future generations will definitely be proud of us!
However, at this time, they didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to brag to their children and grandchildren again? You know, they are the most direct people who framed Ming Zhongxin!
"Let's get flat!" Hongji stretched out his hand indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed in unison.
Seeing that he had been exposed, Hongzhi was no longer hypocritical, stepped forward slowly, looked Ming Zhongxin up and down, smiled, turned his head and said to Lu Mingyuan, "Mr. Lu, this apprentice is well chosen!" ”
At this moment, Liu Jian and the others had a gleam in their eyes, and they all looked up at Lu Mingyuan, waiting for his reply.
Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you have been promoted, CITIC is not my apprentice!" ”
What the? Hongzhi was stunned and looked at Lu Mingyuan in amazement.
Liu Jian and the others moved in their hearts, and they looked at Lu Mingyuan intently, and his every expression was within the scope of their observation.
Hongji came back to his senses, his eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, it's okay, the previous incident has nothing to do with CITIC, I won't do anything to him!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's really not!" Lu Mingyuan shook his head and said.
Isn't it?! These three words lingered in the hearts of Liu Jian and others.
Isn't it?! Hongji frowned, and couldn't help but turn around and look at Ming Zhongxin.
But Ming Zhongxin was extremely indifferent, standing with his hands down, standing indifferently.
"Really, not?" Hongji looked back at Lu Mingyuan.
"Not really!" Lu Mingyuan nodded.
"That?" Hongji couldn't help but look at Lu Mingyuan.
"I also see that he has good qualifications, and he has a pure heart, so I help him, and I can only be regarded as his disciple!" Lu Mingyuan explained slowly.
Doorman? Hongzhi frowned, an indescribable expression flashed, and the sense of loss made Lu Mingyuan, who was close at hand, feel a pain in his heart, and then, he sighed lightly.
But Liu Jian and the others were looking at each other, really not! So what's next? One thought after another flashed through my mind.
"It's not good, it's not good!" Hongji nodded pointedly. Correspondingly, his mood changed, and a sense of relief emanated.
Lu Mingyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, His Majesty still hasn't let it go! Just because, if Hongzhi had already put down the events of the early years in his heart, he would never have heard that Ming Zhongxin was not his disciple and had such a sense of relief, it was clear that he was still thinking about the early years, and he was afraid that Ming Zhongxin, a person with amazing talents, was his own disciple, and then he would find dignity for himself and stir up the situation of the Beijing Division!
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Lu Mingyuan bowed and asked.
"Come, Mr. Lu, come with me!" As he spoke, Hongzhi raised his hand to pull Lu Mingyuan, walked forward slowly, and walked towards the main seat.
And Zhu Houzhao, who is on the throne, has already bowed to the side, like a good baby, waiting for his father to take his seat.
Hongzhi didn't look at Zhu Houzhao, sat on the main seat, and pointed to the first place next to his left hand, "Mr. Lu, sit!" ”
Lu Mingyuan did not refuse, he bowed his hand to Hongzhi and slowly sat down. Of course, he fell first after first.
Hongzhi frowned, sighed lightly, and raised his eyes to look at Zhu Houzhao, "Zhao'er, I've seen Mr. Lu first!" ”
Zhu Houzhao stepped forward as he said and arched his hand at Lu Mingyuan, "I've seen Mr. Lu!" ”
Lu Mingyuan actually didn't shirk, sat down, and accepted Zhu Houzhao's gift.
However, Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jian and other old ministers present were not surprised, nor did they have any surprised expressions, as if this matter was taken for granted.
Of course, Xie Yuanyang and Li Yunqi were shocked, their eyes turned to Lu Mingyuan, and they secretly thought to themselves, what kind of person is this guy, and how could His Majesty treat him like this? Look at Ming Zhongxin again, but I never thought that such a big-name person was actually a doorman of Ming Zhongxin, this kid, how can he be? ! What a blessing! A wave of jealousy followed.
"You can sit down too!" Hongzhi saw that Mr. Lu accepted Zhu Houzhao's salute and nodded.
"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Houzhao naturally sat first next to Hongzhi's left hand.
"Everyone Aiqing, everyone sits!" Hongzhi waved his hand and waved at Liu Jian and others.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Jian and the others naturally thanked each other, and sat down one by one behind Lu Mingyuan's seat.
Chen Zhun stepped forward, came behind Hongzhi, and stood with his hands down without saying a word.
"CITIC, sit!" Hongji raised his eyes to look at Ming Zhongxin and pointed to the first place on his right.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ming Zhongxin Chong Hongzhi arched his hand, but he didn't sit down, but looked at the person next to him.
A hint of abruptness flashed in Hongji's eyes, and he smiled, and did not scold Ming Zhongxin for his faux pas.
But that person understood, stepped forward slowly, came to Lu Mingyuan, his body trembled slightly, and slowly knelt down, "Mu Bin see Mr. Lu!" ”
Lu Mingyuan's eyes were also slightly moist, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated, and said in a deep voice, "What?" Master Mu, what do you think? ”
Yes! For a moment, not only Mu Bin was stunned, but even everyone present was stunned.
