"Alas, I know that, too!" Hongzhi smiled bitterly, "I also sent Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to clear the obstacles on the road, but my heart is still up and down, and it is difficult to calm down!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is the depth of love!" Empress Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, "Zhao'er is not a child anymore, since we have already arranged it for him, let's let him go through it!" After all, nothing is foolproof! Your Majesty, relax! ”

"Hey, aren't you worried?" Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, a little puzzled.

"What are the concubines worried about! Sooner or later, Zhao'er will be on his own, and neither the concubine nor His Majesty will be able to follow him forever, is it useful to worry at that time? Empress Zhang's eyes flickered, "Moreover, the concubine believes that our Zhao'er will inevitably be in trouble, and all gods will bless her!" ”

Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang speechlessly, although he always knew that Empress Zhang's personality was extremely strong, but he didn't expect that she would be so open in the matter of treating her son! That's it, we've already arranged it like this, Zhao'er will definitely be fine!

"Okay, Queen, I still have some things to deal with, since you don't worry, I'll rest assured."

"Okay, the concubine will retire!" Empress Zhang nodded and turned away.

Hongji was a little dumbfounded, our queen is really simply, let's go?

But it's okay, when you're gone, I can do my business!

"Chen Aiqing, prepare!" Hongji turned his head to look at Chen Zhun.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" Now, it was Chen Zhun's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Nonsense, what are you talking about?!" Hongji's eyes widened, staring at Chen Zhun viciously.

Chen Zhun smiled bitterly, you are the boss, whatever you say is what you say!

Turn around and go out to prepare.

Hongji was full of pride, muttering a sentence in his mouth, but no one heard it clearly.

Calm returned to the study.

At this time, in front of the Ming Mansion, a carriage came, but there was a shadow floating in front of and behind him.

An old man stepped out of the carriage.

Ming Youren was instantly excited, and raised his feet and walked quickly to meet him.

Just because, he recognized it, and the person who got off the carriage on the opposite side and walked slowly over was actually Liu Jian, the first auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't control his excitement and greeted him.

You know, although everyone has issued an invitation to invite several auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty to come to participate in this appreciation meeting, the Ming family is not sure whether these important ministers of the court will give us this face, after all, although it was invited in the name of Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu also came forward in person, but after all, Ming Zhongxin is not an important person, although Ming Zhongxin is so outstanding in their hearts.

Besides, Li Dongyang has fallen out with the Ming family, oh, to be precise, it's not that people have fallen out with the Ming family, but that Ming Zhongxin has fallen out with others, although they think that Ming Zhongxin is right, but this time to invite people can be regarded as cheeky, who knows if people will come.

And Xie Qian, the auxiliary minister, although they have not seen it, but the news fed back from the court let them know that Xie Qian does not look down on Ming Zhongxin at all, and has been doing everything possible to obstruct Ming Zhongxin's ascendancy, this is at least a person with grievances, and it is unlikely that he will come.

As for the first assistant Liu Jian, he is in a high position and has a lot of things to do every day, and he has no friendship with others before, who knows if people will pay attention to this matter!

As a result, the Ming family came to the conclusion that as long as one of these three auxiliary ministers came, it would be regarded as giving the Ming family face.

Ming Youren was actually ready in his heart, as long as the scene was not too ugly.

However, he didn't expect that not only Li Dongyang came, but even Xie Qian actually came with a lot of face, he was in a good mood, and he was also extremely looking forward to the work of welcoming guests, and he was looking forward to a more important person to come.

What I didn't expect was that Liu Jian actually came, what did he say! Could it be that Mr. Lu's face is really useful? However, the facts in front of me are proof, and it seems that I really have to look at this person again!

With his mind spinning, Liu Jian has come to the front.

"I've seen Lord Liu!" Ming Youren bowed his hand and looked at Liu Jian with a smile on his face.

"Hmm!" Liu Jian frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

A hint of understanding flashed in Ming Youren's eyes, and he hurriedly explained, "Lord Liu, the head of my family"

However, before he could finish his words, he only heard a person behind him shouting, "Brother Xixian, you are far away!" ”

As soon as Liu Jian heard this voice, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he arched his hand behind Ming Youren and said, "Brother Yunde, you're polite!" ”

Brother Yunde? Ming Youren was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look behind him.

But I saw Lu Mingyuan striding up with a smile on his face.

Could it be that Yunde is Mr. Lu's character? Ming Youren's heart moved, yes, for so long, Lu Mingyuan has never revealed it, and everyone really doesn't know everything about him.

"Brother Xixian, I have been supervising the construction of the site of the Appreciation Skill Association before, and I didn't come to greet Brother Xixian, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Brother Yunde, where are you talking about!" Liu Jian also waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"Come, come, come, inscribe!" Lu Mingyuan smiled, grabbed Liu Jian, and dragged him forward.

Inscription? Liu Jian was stunned for a while and looked at Lu Mingyuan.

"Alas, this is a trick made by that kid in CITIC, saying that this time he invited so many important ministers of the court, as well as distinguished guests, or came to an ordinary place like the Ming Mansion, which is unprecedented, so that the Ming Mansion is full of brilliance, there must be a ceremony, at least it will not make these distinguished guests lose face. This inscription is the first form. I thought, too, that since this event was on such a large scale, it was really unreasonable not to leave a little commemoration, so I acquiesced to him. Lu Mingyuan explained with a smile.

While speaking, Liu Jian was pulled to the table, his eyes swept away, and naturally everything was clear. This Ming family is really generous!

Of course, with Lu Mingyuan as a support, Liu Jian was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only step forward to inscribe.

Hey! Suddenly, Liu Jian stared at the inscription hanging on the newspaper column.

Just because, he saw two names!

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian!

These two guys are here too! It is not surprising that Li Dongyang came to him, just because Li Dongyang and Ming Zhongxin have intersected before, although it is a little dirty, but Ming Zhongxin has the grace to save Li Dongyang's life after all, according to Li Dongyang's temperament, he will inevitably come to cheer this time.

But what the hell is Xie Qian, this guy is also here? He knew that Xie Qian had never waited to see Ming Zhongxin, and had repeatedly obstructed Ming Zhongxin's upward progress. How could you give face like this time and come to cheer in advance?

Lu Mingyuan saw it in his eyes and smiled, "These two pavilion elders must want to see Ming Zhongxin's methods!" ”

Liu Jian slandered in his heart, will we be so superficial at this point? However, you old boy knows that we court officials will not be so out of tune, and coming to participate in the current gathering of Yijie Buyi must have a purpose, and if you say so, you really should be beaten!

"Brother Xixian, let's inscribe first! Let's go in and talk! Lu Mingyuan persuaded.

Liu Jian smiled meaningfully and picked up the pen.

"These inscriptions will be framed, of course, there will be a level, so as not to insult everyone!" Lu Mingyuan continued to explain.

Liu Jian's last worry was also dispelled, after all, he was the first assistant, how many people wanted him to inscribe a word, he knew that these people just wanted to pull the tiger skin as a banner to show their connections. Who knows if this Ming Zhongxin is the idea!

If it weren't for Lu Mingyuan pulling him this time, he wouldn't be able to save face, so he wouldn't have inscribed!

Since Lu Mingyuan explained it like this, it was naturally reliable, and he believed that Ming Zhongxin would not mess around, so he put his mind at ease.

Brush brush, the word Liu Jian jumped on the paper.

"Okay, the pen is deep and powerful!" Lu Mingyuan applauded.

"Brother Yunde praised it!" Liu Jian said humbly.

"Let's go, let's go!" Lu Mingyuan picked up Liu Jian and was about to enter the house.

"Slow!" Liu Jian raised his hand and stabilized his figure.

Lu Mingyuan looked back at him strangely.

"Let's wait!" Liu Jian didn't explain either, and insisted. 、

Lu Mingyuan flashed a hint of abruptness, "Okay!" ”

Ming Youren beckoned, and several servants ran out of the Ming mansion, holding two chairs in both hands, as well as the table, and ran over.

Lu Mingyuan smiled and pointed to the table and chair, "Brother Xixian, sit and wait!" ”

Liu Jian also smiled meaningfully at Lu Mingyuan, nodded, and sat down.

Later, naturally, there were cheongsam women who served tea.

The two of them drank tea and talked at the same time.

Time passes slowly.

There was a sound of hurried steps. But I saw a strong man running in the distance.

Ming Youren was shocked and raised his hand.

Several teenagers rushed out of the Ming mansion and quickly surrounded Liu Jian and Lu Mingyuan, looking at this strong man vigilantly.

Liu Jian looked at these teenagers in surprise, yes! This Ming house reacted quickly, and it seems that it had been arranged before, but this is also the meaning of it. After all, Ming Zhongxin has offended so many people, and he is deeply afraid that people will come to make trouble.

However, what he was even more surprised in his heart was that this Ming Mansion was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! He could see that these teenagers had a certain amount of advance and retreat between their walks, and their positions were not chaotic, but actually defensive formations. But at this time, he couldn't take a closer look, he could only say, "It's okay, my own people!" ”

However, the teenagers did not relax, they still did not move, just stared at the strong man.

Lu Mingyuan smiled and didn't say anything, although he knew in his heart that since Liu Jian said so, the strong man must be fine.

Liu Jian was speechless for a while, these guys!

While speaking, the strong man came to the front and said to Liu Jian, "Report, the person is already two miles away!" ”

"Oh, go down!" Liu Jian nodded and commanded.

The strong man turned and galloped away, turned the corner of the street, and disappeared.

"Brother Yunde, let's let these be removed!" Liu Jian turned his head to look at Lu Mingyuan.

"The little one is here?" Lu Mingyuan asked with a smile instead of answering the question.

Liu Jian was not surprised, after all, he had already learned Lu Mingyuan's skills many years ago, guessing that such a trivial matter would stump him, nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

"Withdraw! Go down too! Lu Mingyuan instructed Ming Youren and the teenagers respectively.

In an instant, the teenagers removed the tables, chairs, tea, and other things.

Liu Jian and Lu Mingyuan glanced at each other tacitly, smiled, stood aside, and waited quietly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a cacophony in the distance, followed by the sound of wheels.

Here it comes! Liu Jian and Lu Mingyuan's eyes shrank, and they raised their eyes to look around the corner.

At this moment, a team of heavily armed guards rode their horses and galloped over, however, they were extremely orderly, and there were fewer and fewer guards rushing over, and after a closer look, they found that when they came to the gallop, they were already standing on both sides of the street in groups of two, looking around with blazing eyes, obviously, they were doing the thing of guarding.

Then, the sound of wheels sounded, and a carriage turned around the corner of the street and went straight to the Ming house.

On the carriage, the bright yellow dragon flag fluttered in the wind.

Yes, it was the crown prince Zhu Houzhao who arrived!

The carriage came closer, and before Liu Jin stepped forward to lift the curtain, Zhu Houzhao had already lifted the curtain and jumped down.

"O my little ancestor! Slow down! Liu Jin shouted in his mouth, however, there was no trace of worry on his face at all, after all, he had seen this scene a lot, and he was already immune, and according to His Royal Highness the Prince's skills, he would not miss at all! His shouting is just a routine!

Liu Jian had already walked quickly to the carriage and bowed to salute, "I've seen the prince!" ”

Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Jian, his face was stunned, and he touched his head a little embarrassed, "Master Liu is also here!" ”

"I've seen the prince!" Lu Mingyuan led Ming Youren and all the cheongsam women to bow in unison.

And the cheongsam women were a little dumbfounded, they didn't expect that they would be able to see the prince in person today, what an honor! If you go back and say it, you can say it for a lifetime! How could they not be excited, you know, they didn't know who Liu Jian was, who Xie Qian was, who Li Dongyang was, not to mention that these important ministers of the court all came in civilian clothes today, even if they had already inscribed, but how could they know that these names were those auxiliary ministers of the imperial court, and they thought they were people of the same name and sex! Therefore, when they saw these court ministers, they did not lose their temper at all.

But Liu Jian is now shouting the word prince in front of him, which is absolutely true, just because, I believe that no one in this Ming Dynasty dares to pretend to be His Royal Highness the prince! When I saw His Royal Highness the Prince, my whole body trembled, and I couldn't bear to look up to see what the prince looked like, and I was very excited!

"Mr. Lu!" Compared with Liu Jian, Zhu Houzhao feels a little kind to Lu Mingyuan.

After all, in the face of Liu Jian, he felt the majesty of being a master, and every time Liu Jian saw him transgressing his behavior, he had to persuade him, and he had always been deeply afraid of this prince and concubine.

As for Lu Mingyuan, he had also seen it once, and he only felt that this Mr. Lu was a little amiable, so when he saw Lu Mingyuan, his nervousness was relieved.

Therefore, there is a hint of kindness in his language.
