Let's say that after Sima Hu became an inspector of the imperial history, the atmosphere of the court was much clearer than before.

This Lord Sima is also a "talent" left by the first emperor's dynasty.

When it comes to the word "talent", most people mean a lot, because this Master Sima is a talent, and he is even more a genius.

His knowledge is not outstanding, and his ability may not be very high, but his biggest advantage is that he is bold and arrogant.

However, the first emperor made him a civil official, and in those years he helped to purge the old party of Li Ge in the court, and later he was sent to the local government to serve as a senior member......

One by one, he did it properly.

Even the military attachés in the court didn't dare to compare with him, after all, he is now the inspector of the imperial history, and if anyone doesn't like it, they don't even have a chance to take revenge-

According to the rules of the ancestors, the imperial history of the official cannot be beaten.

Therefore, Sima Hu was there, which looked a little abrupt at first glance, but Yuan Zhi looked at him every day and smiled.

He thinks that there are too many old-fashioned civil officials, and it is a good thing to have people like Sima Hu. For example, the cabinet, if there is not a Su Zhiming here, it would be really dull.

It is said that Sima Hu and Su Qing are old friends, and when he comes back, he is in the position of inspector of the imperial history, and Su Qing should be the happiest.

But Su Qing didn't, but was still a little worried.

Because he has received a lot of warnings from Sima Hu recently.

Probably still a little bit of old friendship, Sima Hu did not directly visit him, but put forward a lot of suggestions to him, such as asking him to let out the many aunts in the house, such as asking him to restrain his own communication, and not to communicate with other ministers at every turn......

Su Qing was still very angry.

He counted on Sima Hu to return to the dynasty to help him take back power, but Sima Hu not only didn't help him, but also found fault with him in turn?

"I'm talking about Brother Sima."

Su Qing wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Now that the people in the court are prosperous, you have to stare at them, what are you doing staring at me?" ”

Sima Hu is a rough man, and he has just returned to Beijing, so he doesn't know who he is talking about, "What does Brother Su mean?" ”

Su Qing didn't think about it, and directly pointed out Su Zhiming and Prince Yong.

Although the old Xue Ge is in charge of the first assistant, he is a very proper old man, he has no merit, and he can't catch it if he says it, so Su Qing didn't say anything about him.

"Prince Nayong is now the regent, and he has to intervene in big and small matters in the court, which makes many courtiers dare not speak out. And that Su Zhiming......"

Sima Hu glanced at him, Su Qing paused, and adjusted his tone, "Although Su Zhiming is my nephew, he is young and holds great power, so it is inevitable that he will lose his mind. Brother Sima, you should look at him for me, and for the queen mother and the emperor. ”

Sima Hu said honestly: "Your nephew is my nephew, don't worry, I have already seen it for you." ”

"Seen it?"

"yes."

Sima Hu said with a straight face, "Then Su Zhiming's wife is the county lord's mother, and she doesn't have a concubine. What is rare is that because he was born in the countryside, he doesn't even have a room girl around him, you say that the nephew of the younger generation with such rules, where can you find it in the capital now? ”

Su Qing: "......"

He didn't want to hear about Su Zhiming's benefits.

Sima Hu said again: "Moreover, I went to Su Zhiming's mansion in the name of just returning to the capital to visit. Why is his mansion still the same? I remember that you cleaned up for their father and son when they first went to Beijing, and now he has become a young pavilion elder, and there is no expansion. ”

"The atmosphere of the people in the house is also very good, neither humble nor arrogant, the clothes are not excessive, and the decorative buildings in the house are also simple. How do you tell me to find fault with such a person? ”

When he said this, Su Qing unconsciously thought of himself.

Sima Hu said that everything seemed to be mentioning him.

What kind of concubine room is connected, and what is the atmosphere of the people in the house, and whether the house is expanded or not, and the building is decorated......

He remembered that Su Youyi had visited the palace before, and when he came to his house, he said that the mansion had expanded a lot, and he also found the koi fish that he had raised a lot of money.

Fortunately, he escaped a trouble in the name of giving it to Su Youyi to watch.

These are not clear to Su Youyi, who occasionally goes out of the palace, but people like Sima Hu, who come and go to Su Mansion every day, can see it clearly.

Before Su Qing could think of an explanation for himself, he heard Sima Hu say, "As for the regent, there is something to be seen. ”

Su Qing suddenly came to his senses.

"What is it?"

Sima Hu said solemnly: "You said that he was widowed in his early years, how many years have he not even had a concubine in the house, and he can survive as a young and strong man?" I don't believe it. ”

Su Qing: "......"

What he hoped Sima Hu would check was not this.

……

Leaving Sufu, Sima Hu got into his own carriage.

Because Sima Hu has never had any style, he sat in the car, and the coachman also chatted with him, "Master, you used to ride a horse like a military general when you went out, why have you changed to a car or sedan chair recently?" ”

Sima Hu in the carriage snorted dissatisfiedly.

Since the coachman was his squire who had brought him from the north to the south and back again, he said bluntly, "I used to be very happy when I rode through the streets and alleys on horseback. But now I have something in my heart, and I am not a person who can hide, but I am afraid that riding a horse will make people see what is in my heart, so it is better to hide in the carriage. ”

Although the coachman didn't understand it, he could feel that his master was not very happy.

It seems that when I returned to the capital from the place this time and saw Mr. Su again, my lord would not have the joy he used to have. Nowadays, only occasionally by grace can he enter the palace to visit Concubine Chun, so that his master can show a real smile.

Inside the carriage, Sima Hu's face had already collapsed.

He forced a smile in front of Su Qing, and his heart was uncomfortable.

Sima Hu naturally knew what Su Qing's idea was.

But in front of Su Qing, he could only fool around with such a gag, because Su Youyi told him not to have a stiff relationship with Su Qing, and there was no benefit in getting stiff.

If Sima Hu's temper had been followed, he would have directly scolded Su Qing as he did when he first returned to the capital.

But Su Youyi ordered like this, and he could only endure it, and gently reminded him of some things in a way that did not hurt the relationship between the two, lest he make more and more mistakes.

But Su Qing didn't seem to understand.

Sima Hu remembered that when he was a local official, he and those local tyrants and squires had not forced a smile and pretended to be, but he was not sad in his heart.

Only in front of Su Qing is like this, it is true to say that he is not sad.

"As a minister, you can only be loyal, and everyone else has to be left behind......"

He muttered a sentence, but the coachman outside did not hear clearly, and asked him in a leaning ear, "What?" ”
