And Hongzhi is also thinking about this matter, after all, as a son of heaven, he is well versed in the art of imperial power, and he also knows the disadvantages of being a single family, but if he opens this opening, then, how to appease those few?

And if you agree to everything, then there will be open and secret battles around the prince, is this really good? For the growth of the crown prince, no one cares more than him! That's a wild horse that has escaped, a place where bad things can go unpredictably, and he can bear to put such a big thunder beside him early? Don't blow him up without cultivating him at that time, but blow him to pieces, then you really have to regret it for the rest of your life!

Therefore, he is weighing, he is considering, he is delving, how to arrange is the best for the prince!

"Your Majesty!" Xie Qian unconsciously called softly, reminding Hongzhi that he could draw conclusions.

Hongzhi raised his head, first looked at Liu Jian, and then looked back at Xie Qian, a trace of realization flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.

"Xie Aiqing!" Hongji smiled.

"The old minister is here!" Xie Qian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly saluted.

"Now I have just decreed that Ming Zhongxin enter the palace and become the prince's companion. If the decree is made again, I am afraid that the ministers will have some concerns. ”

The meaning of these words made Xie Qian's heart sink, and the meaning of these words was to refuse!

But Liu Jian and Ni Yue next to him were happy. After all, they didn't want Xie Qian to be one step ahead in the layout of the court in the future, and now His Majesty disagreed and rejected his proposal, which is a good thing!

"Of course, Chen Zhun's promise should be carried out, so I have a proposal." Hongji smiled and looked around, refocusing his gaze on Xie Qian.

As soon as these words changed, Xie Qian's heart regained hope, but Liu Jian and the others frowned.

"I respectfully ask Your Majesty for your words!" Xie Qian bent down and arched his hand.

"I thought, just take this township test as the standard, if Xiao Sa can be on the list and among the best, I will order him to enter the palace to accompany the prince, so that the ministers can learn his talents! It can be regarded as fulfilling his promise for Chen Zhun. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xie Qian was overjoyed in his heart, after all, according to his judgment, Xiao Sa's talent and learning were already enough to pass the township examination, and participating in the township examination can be described as a gesture, His Majesty's proposal is just to block the ministers' leisurely mouth!

As soon as Hongzhi's words came out, Liu Jian and Ni Yue were shocked, it was obvious that His Majesty's words were to appease the ministers, and they were simply in response to Xie Qian's proposal, but they just postponed the promise for some time! But by the way, it also blocked our way to compete for this prince's companion! No, it must be stopped!

Although they have a plan in their hearts, they will not show it!

"Well, stand down!" Hongji waved his hand tiredly.

"Wait for the resignation!" Liu Jian took the lead and led a group of people to bow down and retreat.

Xie Qian naturally wouldn't say anything more, after all, the goal had been achieved, so why annoy people again? As for the grievances he said, are those things?

Of course, Chen Zhun will not retreat at all, after all, he still has something to do!

"Chen Zhun, are you guilty?" Hongzhi saw Liu Jian and the others retreat, his face sank, and he shouted.

"Wechen is guilty!" Chen Zhun knelt on the ground with a puff.

"Alright, what's going on?" Hongji's complexion softened slightly.

Chen Zhun said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this time is indeed a little strange, obviously the thief sneaked into the Xiao Mansion, but there are no clues at all, and there is no clue to escape from the Xiao Mansion." ”

He had already reported the experience to Hongzhi before, although there were discrepancies, but Chen Zhun only pointed out some mistakes and omissions one by one, and raised the biggest doubts in his heart.

Hongji bowed his head and groaned.

"However, Weichen has sent his subordinates to closely monitor the Xiao Mansion, and if there is any movement, it will be reported immediately!" Chen Zhun continued.

"Hmmm! Keep watching! Koji nodded.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Zhun snorted lightly, and his words were half cut off, but the hesitation in his eyes was undoubtedly exposed.

Hongji looked up at Chen Zhun, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Zhun lowered his head and hesitated.

Hongji's face sank, "Say!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Chen Zhun gritted his teeth, "Weichen suspects that there may be thieves among Xie Ge Lao's entourage!" ”

"What?" Hongji's face changed, and his eyes widened to look at Chen Zhun.

Now, Chen Zhun has no way out, "Your Majesty, in fact, after Wei Chen couldn't find those Maitreya thieves, he had some doubts in his heart, the Maitreya thieves were actually from the Xiao family, and this time he turned back to the Xiao Mansion, and he directly showed people his true face, so we naturally couldn't find clues." ”

As soon as these words came out, Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and then his eyes darkened, if it was as Chen Zhun said, then the Xiao family was afraid that it was also deeply involved, he really couldn't believe that the dignified Xiao family would be involved with Maitreya, so how many people in his Ming Dynasty were clean? He was deeply guarded against it.

Of course, this may also be just his own speculation, just as Wei Chen guessed that there might be a remnant of the Maitreya Society among the Xie Fu entourage. That Maitreya will know in advance that Xie Ge Lao will go to Xiao Mansion, and make a backup plan to extract his spies from Xie Fu's entourage and carry out the assassination plan, if the assassination fails, he will go directly to Xiao Mansion, and then it will happen that Xie Ge Lao will come to Xiao Mansion and mix directly into the entourage, no one can know, this, that is, we can't find out the reason why the thief among them! Chen Zhun saw Hongzhi's face change suddenly, and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Xie Ge Lao's entourage?" Hongji's complexion changed again, listening to Chen Zhun's speculation, his complexion changed again and again, just because, Chen Zhun's guesses were more weird than the other, and each one was more terrifying, if it was really as he said, then this Maitreya would be too terrible, no, but the person who made this plan was really too terrible!

It's just that everything is arranged properly, and it can be said that it is a last resort! If there is such a person, then this Maitreya Society will really be heavy, and it must be found and killed, otherwise, in the long run, let it set up more strange and strange strategies, then our great tomorrow is really likely to be overthrown!

If it weren't for Ming Zhongxin destroying those plans, I'm afraid that now this southern province of Yunnan has changed hands.

And Maitreya will be two handsome men in the south and the north, if you join hands again, then this Ming? Alas, I really can't think about it!

"Okay, you keep an eye on these two places, don't let them escape!" Hongji thought about it and was extremely frightened, and hurriedly commanded.

"No!" Chen Zhun bowed his head and promised.

"By the way, if there are not enough people, send someone to transfer people to Mu Bin, and say that I said it!" Afraid of change, Hongji commanded again.

"No!" Chen Zhun knew that the stakes were high, so he nodded heavily and left.

"You say, is it possible that Chen Zhun's judgment is true?" Hongji asked slowly.

A voice suddenly came from the air, "Chen Zhun's words are reasonable, but the Xiao family is indeed a little strange, and although some evidence cannot directly prove that his Xiao family and Maitreya will collude, it is confusing, we are verifying!" ”

"As for Xie Ge Lao, there shouldn't be any problem, it's just some small actions, yes, it's just limited to the periphery of the Xie family!" After a pause, the voice continued.

"Well, just confirm it!" Hongji nodded, no more.

And the voice in the dark stopped talking, and the imperial study fell into silence.

At this time, there was a jubilant in the Ming house, and everyone stepped forward to congratulate Ming Zhongxin, it was because he went to rescue the students outside the Beijing Division, it was not easy to celebrate, but now that the students have been rescued, they naturally have to celebrate, otherwise, they can't afford to be the prince's companion to read such a lofty will!

And the students are even happier, just because, in the military camp before, although they were able to realize their ideals and ambitions, they were also cut off from contact with the Ming family, and they always had some regrets in their hearts, but now they not only returned to the Ming house, but also got such exciting news, and they were deeply happy for the teaching! Naturally, they cheered and joined in the celebration.

Of course, a series of allies such as Liu Daxia, Shou Ninghou, Jian Changbo, and Guo Xiaohou came to congratulate, after all, this matter is not only a happy event for Ming Zhongxin, but also great news for them!

After all, as a share of the Mingjia Group Company, they naturally hope that the Mingjia can get better and better, and become more and more powerful, in that case, they will naturally be able to get the corresponding benefits.

If you don't come to congratulate at this time, when will you come?!

Of course, there are naturally younger generations gathered together in the hall outside, and the joy is abnormal, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, which is very lively.

But Ming Zhongxin and others gathered in the study, drinking tea slowly.

"CITIC, this holy decree requires you to enter the East Palace and accompany the prince, although this is a good thing, but" Liu Daxia looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you have to say? Mr. Liu, please speak! Ming Zhongxin was stunned for a moment and asked.

When everyone next to them heard this, they all looked at Liu Daxia, wanting to see what Liu Daxia wanted to say.

"The affairs of the court are not so simple! And next to the crown prince, it is a position that everyone is looking forward to, and it is a small epitome of the court! Liu Daxia sorted out his language, "If you think that when you get to the prince's side and become his companion, you will be able to rise smoothly and worry-free, then you are wrong!" ”

Ming Zhongxin nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The prince's side, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, no matter what, will be magnified, and you, as the center, will be even more difficult, and you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, without the slightest mistake, otherwise, all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty will attack, and when the time comes, you will be pierced by ten thousand arrows, so, next, will be your most difficult time! We hope you're prepared! Liu Daxia said in a deep voice.

"Lord Liu, don't say it so scary!" Zhang Yanling said with a smile on the side, "With our brothers covering him, and with the help of the prince, CITIC will definitely rise to the top and rank among the states!" ”

Everyone ignored the words of this mallet.

But there was a deep apprehension in his eyes, after all, who could be more convincing than the advice of an old courtier? Even Shou Ninghou nodded thoughtfully, after all, his background can be regarded as the top of the sky, with a queen sister who lives alone in the sixth palace, and a brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven who is powerful in the world, he is still attacked by the courtiers above the court, and has even been repeatedly suppressed and punished, not to mention that he is just a small companion next to the prince, and if he makes a mistake, it is an abyss!

"CITIC is teachable!" Ming Zhongxin nodded lightly and arched his hand.

"CITIC, Lord Liu's words are reasonable, but with Lord Liu, an old courtier, you can ask him for advice on all matters!" Guo Xiaohou Ye smiled.

Guo Xiaohouye's reminder made everyone here shine brightly, right!

Liu Daxia smiled bitterly in his heart, he was really cocooned and self-bound! However, who let this person here be the only one who has been in the court for many years and has a lot of experience? This is really the responsibility of teaching!

Of course, he also has a candidate in mind, but in this situation, he doesn't dare to put it forward! can only smile bitterly and acquiesce in this responsibility.

As for Ming Zhongxin, he knew in his heart that these people were really good for themselves, and all these favors would be received! However, they don't know that they are human beings in two lives, and in the thousand years of life in their previous lives, they know a lot about conspiracies and tricks, but they can't say it clearly! Otherwise, what if they are frightened? What's more, I still have the Guiyuan Tower Library as a sharp weapon to complement it, so why be afraid!

"CITIC, although today's students have been brought back by you, but you have also offended Chen Rui, although Your Majesty has decided the case and ordered Chen Rui to compensate, but in the future, the students will return to the army, and it will be really difficult then! How will they survive that in the future? Ming Zhongyuan, who was next to him, was full of worry and asked Ming Zhongxin.

Ming Zhongxin laughed softly, "Brother don't worry, although the martial arts students offended Chen Rui today, but Chen Rui will not be much easier after today, I believe that someone will clean him up in the day!" ”

"Really?" Ming Zhongyuan expressed disbelief and looked at Ming Zhongxin suspiciously.

Liu Daxia next to him said with a smile, "COSCO, CITIC's words are not bad, you don't know, in fact, Chen Rui has offended the military department today, and I believe he will leave in a few days!" After the trainees recover from their injuries, they can just go back to the camp! ”

"Really?" Compared with Ming Zhongxin, Ming Zhongyuan obviously believed in Liu Daxia, an old Jianghu, and the worries in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Ming Zhongxin shook his head and smiled, alas, our clan brother! How do you turn your elbow outward!

"It's really, a good day, why should you be so sad! What a disappointment! Zhang Boling raised his glass and shouted, "Let's celebrate today!" ”

"Yes, Brother Zhang is right! There is wine today, drunk today, tomorrow's worries will come, tomorrow's sorrows! Ming Zhongxin said with a smile, "Elder Liu, everyone, today is the big day of the Ming Mansion, let's get drunk and rest!" ”

Yo! This Ming Zhongxin is still lame! Everyone laughed for a while, we are worried about the future of the Ming family, why is it so light and light in his eyes!

Although there is some slander in my heart, everyone also agrees with Ming Zhongxin's words, today is a day of great joy, tomorrow's worries will eventually come, or deal with it tomorrow!
