Chief Wang cupped his hands at the officials and followed the old eunuch into the palace, all the way to the side hall of the Imperial study.
The old eunuch ordered the eunuch to serve tea and respectfully said, “”Lord first assistant, please wait a moment.”
After that, he left.
Chief advisor Wang sat on the chair alone and waited for an hour.
He was not in a hurry and waited in silence. He was wearing a red robe, a tall hat, and his hair was white.
His expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. However, the occasional dazed look in his eyes made one realize that the old man’s mood was not as good as it seemed.
Finally, he heard footsteps.
Chief advisor Wang’s slightly cloudy eyes brightened slightly as he looked at the door.
An old eunuch wearing a Python robe came in alone with a horsetail whisk in his arm. He said regretfully, ” Lord Chief Assistant, His Majesty is in
unDearaD1e grier. He nas lost ms manners ancl will not see you.
The light in chief advisor Wang’s eyes dimmed bit by bit.
The old eunuch sighed. His Majesty needs time to calm down. You know that
King Huai is his younger brother. His Majesty has been close to King Huai since he was a child. Now that he’s gone all of a sudden …”
Chief advisor Wang nodded dumbly, cupped his hands, and left the side hall of the Imperial study.
As he walked down the steps, chief advisor Wang couldn’t help but come back to his senses. He bowed deeply to the Imperial study.
He then strode away and didn’t even look back.
As chief advisor Wang left, the old eunuch heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid of Wang zhenwen’s gaze, which was full of disappointment.
He passed through the Imperial study and entered the palace. He bowed and said, ‘”Your Majesty, the chief Assistant has returned.”
Emperor Yuan jing replied with an ” hmm ” and closed his eyes to rest.”Who are the people gathered at the palace gate?”
“Those who should be here are here,” the old eunuch said in a deep voice.
Emperor Yuan jing snorted coldly and said, “I knew it. These dogs are always biting each other. Half of it is an act.” Hateful, detestable, he should be killed!”
After being angry for a while, he regained his calm and asked, “”Has the Left Censor-in -Chief, Yuan Xiong, arrived?”
“I don’t think so.” The old eunuch shook his head after some thought.
Emperor Yuan jing closed his eyes again. After a long silence, when the old eunuch thought that the matter was over, he suddenly heard Emperor Yuan jing say, ‘
“Note down the people who didn’t come today, and do the same for the next few days.”
“Yes!”
At dusk, in the Golden-red afterglow.
Xu Qi ‘an led the little mare, and Xu niannian led his Mount, slowly walking down the street.
Along with them were the chief administrator, Zheng xinghuai, as well as the rank-5 martial artist, Shentu Baili.
“Lord Zheng, are you staying at the relay station?” Xu Qi ‘an’s tone was filled with worry.
With Zheng xinghuai’s official position, he would definitely be staying at the courier station in the inner city. The security conditions were very good, and he had Shentu Baili and a group of personal guards.
However, their current enemy was Emperor Yuan jing, so they had to be careful. A rank-5 evolved Jing martial artist was really not enough in the capital.
“Big brother, don’t worry. The North vanquishing Prince’s massacre has pushed both His Majesty and Lord Zheng to the forefront of the storm. Even his Majesty wouldn’t make such an unwise move at this time. It would anger the masses, and you must Imow that you can’t resist the rolling momentum.”
Xu niannian said.
Zheng bu Zheng looked at him in surprise, and there was a trace of praise on his bitter and hateful face.
“Xu yinluo, your cousin has a pair of sharp eyes. With such a calm attitude, his future will definitely be bright.”
Xu xinnian smiled faintly.
No, he was just used to being arrogant and pretentious. In fact, his inner ability to bear things was just average, and he often died in society. He was not the kind of national player who would remain calm even if a landslide happened … Xu Qian ridiculed in his heart.
Emissary Zheng did not know what was going on in Xu Baishan’s mind, and he reminisced, “”He reminds me of Lord Wei’s magnificence when he was young.”
No, Lord Zheng, does Lord Wei agree with you … The corners of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched into a mysterious arc, but he still remained silent.
Some things had happened, and if they were not dealt with, it would be like a
Fishbone stuck in the throat.
you don’t have to worry, ” Zheng bu said, ‘”‘There’s a group of night watchmen staying in the courier station, you know.”
Lord Wei is already on guard. With him taking care of Lord Zheng’s safety, I don’t have to worry … Xu Qi ‘an felt relieved.
“Farewell!”
Zheng bu cupped his hands and left with Shentu Baili.
Xu Qi ‘an looked on silently. From Chu Zhou city to the capital city, it had only been ten days, but Zheng xinghuai’s back was already a little hunched, as if something was pressing on his shoulders, making him unable to straighten his back.
“Sigh …” He sighed in his heart, touched the back curve of the little mare, and turned over to ride it.
The two brothers slowly made their way home while the horses galloped.
“Lord Zheng is a pitiful man. He was a Jinshi in the 19th year of yuanjing. According to censor Liu, his father died early, and his widowed mother raised him with great difficulty. It was not easy to send him to the Directorate and he became a Jinshi. In the end, because of his many years of hard work, he squeezed his body dry and died before his son could return home in glory.”
As the little mare walked slowly, Xu Qi ‘an said, “”After that, because he was inflexible and did not know how to be flexible, he offended the previous chief advisor and was sent to Chu Zhou.
“He has been operating in Chu Zhou city for 18 years and has spent most of his life there. In the end, it turned into dust overnight.”
Xu niannian was silent for a long time. He felt depressed and uncomfortable.
“Eighteen years of wind and rain, half a lifetime of great achievement, spoken to dry bones,” he said with a sigh.
“Let’s not talk about this.” As if to get rid of the depression, Xu Qi ‘an put on a frivolous smile..
