old friends return

There was a lot of noise in the East Palace Mansion about going to bed just now. Now Cheng Muzhi is only thinking about kicking Han Shuwen to the firewood room, but he really doesn't want to make Liu Qingyan angry, but he doesn't want Han Shuwen to stay for another day. To prevent Han Shuwen from coming up with any more tricks, Cheng Muzhi simply carried Liu Qingyan and Han Shuwen into his bedroom.

Called Gao Zhan to come in and spread two layers of mattresses on the floor, and he himself dragged another layer of quilt from the bed and threw it on the floor boldly: "Mr. Han, don't you want to chat? We have to have a good chat tonight." He also sat down on the floor. Han Shuwen was hesitant at first, but seeing what Cheng Muzhi said was true, he simply took off his shoes and lay down on it. Only Liu Qingyan was standing by the side, lingering at him. Cheng Muzhi said: "Your Highness, although it is almost summer, the ground is still cold, what if you catch cold?"

Cheng Muzhi patted the seat next to him and motioned him to sit down: "It's okay, Ah Yan, the ground is not cold, isn't there two layers of quilts under it?" Liu Qingyan still hesitated to go up, and came for a while He said a sentence, but in a somewhat angry tone: "But Your Highness and Shuwen, haven't you washed up yet?"

Cheng Muzhi and Han Shuwen were taken aback. Cheng Muzhi still felt a little embarrassed. He was like a prince, and he felt somewhat ashamed, but Han Shuwen was really shameless. He smiled and said: "This What's the big deal? I can just go wash up right now, okay?" After speaking, he went outside to find Gao Zhan, and after a short while, he patted the ground next to him to Liu Qingyan, "Sit down."

Cheng Muzhi who came over later sat down on his buttocks, squeezed Han Shuwen to the side, and said to Liu Qingyan with a smile: "Ah Yan, come, sit here." Liu Qingyan hesitated, and said to Cheng Muzhi: "Your Highness, the minister has surpassed." Then he finally sat down.

Han Shuwen pulled Cheng Muzhi and whispered to him: "You are still the prince, you are two years older than me, why are you so stingy?" Cheng Muzhi naturally pretended not to hear, just elbowed After touching him, he still looked at Liu Qingyan with a smile, "Ah Yan, shall we play chess? Talk about a conversation while playing chess."

Naturally, Liu Qingyan didn't have any objections, and Han Shuwen finally shut up. The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and indeed they went to bed a lot later than usual. Fortunately, the next day was a public holiday, and Cheng Muzhi didn't have to go to listen to the government, so nothing could be delayed. , I dared to play with it open for so long at night.

Cheng Muze came out of the Luanyi Palace. As usual, he entered the palace to greet Concubine Yan Gui. What's more, his mother concubine was promoted to the throne and held the Phoenix Seal, so he had to congratulate him. Jade pendant, as a congratulatory gift.

Concubine Yan Gui is naturally very happy in her heart. It seems that everything is going well at present, but there is still one thing that is still a little uneasy. After all, she still asked Cheng Muze a few things about Liu Shangshu. Where will Liu Shangshu stand against them in the future? It is extremely important, after all, the three generations of veterans of the Liu family, his words really have a great impact on Emperor Hengde.

Now Liu Shangshu has always been neutral, but his only son is in the East Palace, who knows whose camp the Liu family will stand when the crown prince becomes an adult?

Cheng Muze actually didn't think much about this matter. What he wanted in his heart was military power. Even if there were only [-] troops in his hands, it would be good. He wasn't in a hurry before, but now his younger brother has a soldier talisman. As a big Zhou, the eldest prince now, felt a little resentful in his heart.

It wasn't until Concubine Yan Gui brought up this matter today that he realized that he still had such a thing to do, but he really didn't know it, so he could only shirk and say that Yan Qi was always busy and he didn't care much about it. Concubine Yan Gui didn't have anything else to say to him, but as soon as he came out from Concubine Yan Gui, he hurried to Zuo Xiangfu, thinking that he should deal with this matter first, so as not to blame the concubine mother.

When Cheng Muze came, Yan Qi was talking about other things with the counselor next to him, and when an outsider informed him, he quickly got up and saluted Cheng Muze: "I see His Royal Highness." Cheng Muze quickly helped him up, and said to him "Uncle, your nephew came to see you, why do you have to stick to such etiquette? Uncle, hurry up and excuse me."

After speaking, he helped Yan Qi to the original seat, and then he sat down, thinking about how to ask about this matter.The people next to him came to serve tea, but he held the tureen without moving, and said, "Uncle, my nephew is here, actually I have something to ask, and I want to ask uncle for advice."

Yan Qi paused the hand holding the tea, and said with a smile, "What made you come here in person?"

At this time, Cheng Muze didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and said directly: "Uncle, what do you want to do about the matter of the Liu family? Today, I went to the mother's palace to say hello, and the mother's concubine happened to ask about it. My nephew didn't care too much. Come and ask your uncle what he thinks."

Yan Qi seemed to be caught by his question, and he didn't answer for a long time. In fact, not only Cheng Muze didn't care about it, but he himself didn't pay much attention to this matter.Yan Qi actually thinks about the same thing as Cheng Muze in his heart, which is military power. After all, Cheng Muxing now has a lot of soldiers in his hands. As a member of the eldest prince's party, why is he not in a hurry?But now that his nephew came to him and asked him about this, he had no choice but to think of some excuses to talk about it on the spot.

Thinking of this, Yan Qi still smiled and said to him: "Mu Ze, in fact, you also know about this matter. It is only a few words to bring down the Liu family, but it is really not an easy task to do it. You Think about it, this Liu family's three generations of veterans, now this Liu Shangshu is an official and clean, there is nothing wrong with things, let alone handles, although his upright temper has offended several officials, but these things alone can't move the Liu family. .”

"Besides, there is another son of the Liu family who is accompanying me in the East Palace. Who knows if the prince will step in?" Cheng Muze asked patiently after listening to Yan Qi's talk for a long time about things that even a fool would know. Said: "Then uncle thinks what?"

Yan Qi pondered for a while and said: "This matter should be discussed in the long term. Liu Shangshu rarely makes mistakes in his work. We want to find some faults in him, and there are still some faults that can kill him. Move your arms and legs well."

Cheng Muze nodded, but did not speak, he was waiting for Yan Qi's next words.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qi didn't say anything important, but he seemed to be sloppy with him: "Mu Ze, I will start to do this matter. If your mother and concubine ask again, you can just tell her about me. Now that I'm preparing for this matter, leave the rest to me, as a prince, it's better not to have too much contact with some things."

Seeing what Yan Qi said, Cheng Muze thought that he didn't need to worry about it, and he didn't say anything anymore, but he was still polite with Yan Qi: "Then this matter will trouble uncle, if uncle needs me to do anything, please Uncle please tell nephew immediately."

Yan Qi nodded, and did not leave Cheng Muze to have dinner with him. He only had one plan in his mind at this time about the Liu family, but whether it would be possible or not was really unknown.
