After a while, the servant came out out of breath, and invited Shen Xuan in very graciously.

It was the first time for Shen Xuan to come to Chen's Mansion. After entering, he realized that it was different from what he had imagined. Although it was a Shangshu Mansion, it was not luxurious and ostentatious.

He was led by his servants to walk in, passing through the halls and courtyards along the way, he only felt that the flowers and plants here were well tended, although the courtyard was not particularly large, it was more exquisite.

Although he is free and casual, he is also a person who knows how to appreciate, and immediately has a little extra affection for the Chen family, but it is a pity that Chen Ziming's father, Chen Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, belongs to Zheng Yukun, which is a pity.

The servant took Shen Xuan to the flower hall in the backyard, where Chen Ziming was tending the flowers and trees.It's already the beginning of winter, and although the capital city is not too cold, it is still quite cool. Many flowers and trees should have withered by this time, but the flower hall is still full of purples and reds.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such a sense of elegance. I thought only sour literati would engage in such colorful things. You are a martial artist, why do you like to grow flowers and plants?" Shen Xuan said.

He actually admired Chen Ziming's hobby very much, but because he came to settle accounts with the other party this time, he naturally didn't have a good face, and he carried a gun with a stick as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Shen may have misunderstood." Chen Ziming said.

"What's the misunderstanding?" Shen Xuan asked.

"I'm a sour literati. I practice martial arts just to strengthen my body." Chen Ziming said.

This Chen Ziming is quite modest, Shen Xuan thought.Although Chen Ziming looked gentle and elegant on the surface, he was famous for his superior martial arts, otherwise Shen Xuan wouldn't have fallen into the opponent's hands again and again.

However, Chen Ziming doesn't like to show off, even this winter hunting he didn't show much, but when it comes to his ability, no one should question him.

Chen Ziming said without raising his head: "I heard that I left something on Brother Shen's bed?"

Shen Xuan nodded and said, "Ah... yes, your jade pendant."

Chen Ziming looked up at him for a moment, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Shen, if you like it, keep it. How can you return the things you gave away?"

"You're a big man and you're not a girl. What's the point of me accepting you a jade pendant? If this gets out, how will I behave in the capital in the future?" Besides, he got this jade pendant by stealing it, and it wasn't a gift from the other party at all. Yes, Shen Xuan said.

Chen Ziming was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said seriously: "It's not uncommon for me to face the south wind. In the capital city, there are many male pets at home, and I haven't seen them unable to be human."

Seeing his sudden serious face, Shen Xuan thought that he had said something wrong, and immediately regretted it.Although he was dissatisfied with what Chen Ziming had done before and planned to ask for clarification, but he didn't like to do such things as personal attacks.

"I didn't mean that Nanfeng couldn't see people, our Majesty didn't... Hey, I don't understand, I'd better return this jade pendant to you." Shen Xuan said.

Chen Ziming glanced at the jade pendant in Shen Xuan's hand, and said indifferently: "Could it be that brother Shen thinks I have some improper thoughts about you?"

Shen Xuan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm not that self-indulgent."

Chen Ziming asked again: "Brother Shen, why didn't you dare to accept the two jade pendants?"

Shen Xuan looked up at him, and immediately surrendered, "I'll take it, I'll take it."

After putting away the jade pendant, Shen Xuan couldn't help muttering, thinking what happened to Chen Ziming, why did he look aggrieved?

He originally came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but after seeing the person, Chen Ziming turned against the guest, so that he even forgot why he came here.

"Brother Shen, what do you think of this flower?" Chen Ziming asked.

Shen Xuan saw that there was a pot of yellow chrysanthemums in front of Chen Ziming. The flowers bloomed at the right time, and they were quite eye-catching, so he hurriedly said, "It's beautiful!"

"Since brother Chen likes it, I'll ask the butler to send it to Shen's residence." Chen Ziming said.

Shen Xuan was startled, with a dazed expression on his face, this chrysanthemum... was really caught off guard.

Chen Ziming took Shen Xuan to look around the flower hall again. Shen Xuan actually knew a little about flowers and plants, but he likes to keep cats and dogs, so he is not suitable for petting him. eye addiction.

In this way, he ended up getting a lot of flowers back, but completely forgot the purpose of this trip.

After sending Shen Xuan away, Chen Ziming sent all the flowers and plants he picked to Shen's mansion, and then sat in the flower hall in a daze for a long time, and then smiled involuntarily.

On the second day of returning to the palace, the morning court.

Li Yue is still dressed in court clothes today, obviously the same as before, but I don't know if it's because he hasn't seen him for a few days, or because his state of mind has completely changed from before. When he sat on the dragon chair today, he looked extraordinarily energetic.

Early this morning, he officially decreed to confer the title of Prince An, and married Prince An and Feng Shaoci at that time.At a young age, Prince An was named a prince, and was given a marriage, which can be said to be a double blessing.

Although it was just two ordinary wills, but Prince An was Li Yue's uncle, and he conferred a feudal title and a marriage for the uncle Wang, which was somewhat courageous, but he looked a bit like an emperor.

Above the court, when many ministers looked at Li Yue, their gazes had unconsciously changed.The person sitting on the dragon chair, whether it is a dragon or a worm, can't hide it from their eyes, and the person in front of him may not be a Jackie Chan yet, but he is definitely no longer a puppet controlled by people.

The power struggle, in the final analysis, is the people's hearts.

There was nothing serious about the court today, but when he was about to leave the court, Zheng Yukun suddenly stood up.

Li Yue had already made psychological preparations in advance, knowing that the two auxiliary ministers would not sit still, so he was not afraid.Since you can't guess what the other party will do, let's see what happens.

Zheng Yukun first told Li Yue about the illness of the old man of the Yan family, saying that Yan Li was seriously injured after being beaten. The old man was worried about the safety of his grandson, so he became anxious and fell ill.

Then he said that Mr. Yan was a veteran of the two dynasties. In the generation of Li Yue's father and grandfather, they were all important officials in the court. A dedicated heart is unchanging.

In a fit of anger, Li Yue beat people indiscriminately, and the beating was so severe that it caused Mr. Yan's sudden illness. This matter really fell into disrepute!Zheng Yukun's meaning was so obvious that he almost pointed at Li Yue's nose and said he was messing around.

"Doesn't Mrs. Zheng feel that I shouldn't be punished severely?" Li Yue had a calm look on his face, and he didn't panic at all.

Zheng Yukun said: "Yan Li is still young, and he should be punished for speaking out, but since the time of the Taizu, there has been a precedent of not being punished for speaking. Your Majesty's move is probably not in line with reason or regulation."

Li Yue raised his eyebrows and said: "You will not be punished for your words. You are speaking outright and admonishing officials. No matter what they say, it is for the sake of the country. But Yan Li is not in the court, and he has no words of advice. , I punish him, it seems that I haven't broken the rules of my court, right?"

Zheng Yukun said: "But as far as I know, what Yan Li said that day was indeed painstakingly persuading."

"Oh? Why don't I remember?" Li Yue frowned.

Yan Li was rude to Li Yue that day, and all the young masters present could attest that no one could lie, so Li Yue still didn't panic at all when Zheng Yukun said that.

Zheng Yukun said: "Yan Li saw that Daxia Zhizi was too close to His Majesty that day. He was afraid that His Majesty would be addicted to masculinity and miss the community, so he painstakingly persuaded him. I don't know if Yan Li's words are fabricated?"

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers were in an uproar.

Although Li Yue had reached the age when he should start a family, Zheng Yukun was the first person to openly talk about Li Yue's private life in the court.And to speak is to be addicted to masculinity, which can be said to be very straightforward.

In fact, everyone knew about Zhao Xun's affairs, but under normal circumstances, no one would come out and say anything. As long as Zhao Xun did not discuss politics, he would only exist as Li Yue's male favorite, and no one could raise any objections.

But today's matter involved Yan Li, and Zheng Yukun insisted that Yan Li's insult to Zhao Xun was admonishing Li Yue not to indulge in masculinity, but it made sense.

Li Yue's eyes froze, and he looked at Zheng Yukun with a bit of coldness.But he couldn't refute this, Zheng Yukun shot at Zhao Xun, if he refuted this matter, he would point the finger at Zhao Xun, Li Yue didn't want to do that.

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Pan Xingzhi stood up.

Pan Taibao said: "Your Majesty and Daxia's hostility are not what Zheng Taifu thought, they are just friendship between gentlemen. I'm afraid that kid Yan Li created something out of nothing?"

Zheng Yukun heard the words and said unhurriedly: "If it is true what Pan Taibao said, it is because I was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Yue's thoughts changed sharply when he heard the words, but he fell into a dilemma.If he said yes, it would prove that his punishment was appropriate, but this would be tantamount to denying his relationship with Zhao Xun.

Li Yue didn't want to do this. When he decided to be with Zhao Xun, he made up his mind not to hide it, so he couldn't deny it. Once he denied it, his relationship with Zhao Xun would be dark forever.

He didn't want Zhao Xun to suffer such grievances, and he didn't want to sneak around either.

Li Yue raised his head and glanced at Pan Taibao. On the surface, the other party was speaking for him, probably because he had already made up his mind for Zhao Xun, so he said so.Two old guys, no fuel-efficient lamp!

Li Yue took a deep breath, clenched his slightly trembling hands, tried to keep calm, and said word by word: "Teacher Zheng did not fail to observe, and it is indeed unfair for me to punish severely."

As soon as Li Yue said this, he admitted Zheng Yukun's logic, and at the same time admitted that it was wrong for him to punish Yan Li.More importantly, Li Yue admitted that he and Zhao Xun did have that kind of relationship.

The courtier's eyes on Li Yue suddenly became complicated, not because of Zhao Xun's relationship, but because of Li Yue's choice.These guys in the court hall are all human beings, and they all know what is behind today's swords and swords.

It was precisely because of this that they were surprised that Li Yue would compromise for Zhao Xun.This surprise is accompanied by regret, sympathy and even a touch of appreciation.Having been in the officialdom for too long, calculations have become a habit, probably seeing young people's choices regardless of gains and losses can actually touch them.

A king should have shoulders worthy of a great responsibility, and he should have the tolerance to bend and stretch. Now it seems that Li Yue really looks like an emperor.It's just that I don't know if this little ancestor can fight against the two powerful ministers in the future.

"I will draw up a decree, stating that Yan Li has made no mistakes, and then send the imperial physician to the Yan Mansion to treat Mr. Yan personally." Li Yue said coldly.

Zheng Yukun glanced at Pan Taibao, cupped his hands and said to Li Yue: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Let's go back to court." After Li Yue said, he got up and left without looking back.

He came out of the court hall and walked towards the Ninghe Hall, his expression was gloomy and he didn't say a word all the way, and Fu Xi followed behind with a solemn expression, his little ancestor was angry, he naturally knew it.

Li Yue entered the Ninghe Hall, and before Fu Xi had time to close the hall door, Li Yue picked up a vase at hand, threw it on the ground and smashed it to pieces!The boy's eyes were red and his breathing was rapid, obviously he was really angry.

Even using Zhao Xun to restrain him, he must repay this debt double!
