Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Xu Chengze's sudden utterance surprised everyone.The eyes of several people fell on him.But he seemed indifferent, his face

Still cloudless.

The sharp light in Kong Qingshu's eyes flashed, and then became indifferent again.

"Oh? Please enlighten me, Mr. Ning."

Kong Qingping was sweating for Xu Chengze. Although his father seemed to be amiable and good-tempered, he was actually very stubborn, and it was difficult for anyone to convince him.

The reason why he didn't want to become an official was not only because of his lack of self-confidence, but also because of his father.Kong Qingshu always indoctrinated him with sinister remarks in the officialdom, and told him more clearly that he should just be an idle marquis.

Xu Chengze pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Master Hou only has one child, Qingping, and I want him to live a safe and happy life. I can understand a father's wish. However, it does not depend on whether he can be like Master Hou expected. As for the marquis you will give him in the future, it does not depend on how much wealth you leave him, but on whether the world is peaceful and whether the emperor is wise. What do you think?"

The people present were all good people, Xu Chengze's words were not difficult to understand, of course they knew what he meant.

Kong Qingshu had to admit that what Ning Ruoxu said was reasonable.If the country is destroyed, what is the marquis?A wealthy family may only bring disaster.

He rubbed his chin, this Ning Ruoxu is young, but he sees so clearly, this child is not a thing in the pond!

At this moment, the housekeeper just came to report that the food was ready, Kong Qingshu stood up and said, "It's getting late, are you all hungry? Let's take a seat now? Talk while eating, how about it?"

When Kong Qingshu said so, everyone naturally had no objection.

Xu Chengze was indeed hungry, he didn't eat a few mouthfuls in Zuixianlou, wasting food for nothing.This crime should also be counted on Yan Xuewen.

Lord Hou entertained the banquet, and the food was naturally good. After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone immersed themselves in eating hard. With food in their stomachs, they had the desire to talk again.

Because it was noon, Luo Mingjun and Kong Qingshu, as court officials, did not drink alcohol.

Kong Qingshu still remembered Xu Chengze's words just now, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Young Master Ning, do you think the current Majesty is someone who can help you?"

?,,

What he said was disrespectful, but Kong Qingshu didn't seem to care.

Xu Chengze smiled faintly, "If Lord Hou thinks that the emperor is not worth it, how could he accept the position of professor in Shangshufang? Judging from the determination of Lord Hou who has not entered the court for ten years, the emperor cannot be moved by a few words. Think about it next time, Hou Grandpa has already considered it in his heart."

Kong Qingshu shook his head, "This Marquis doesn't want to enter the court, but he is just a teacher of the prince, and he is far away from the imperial court. Yan Zheng is the most sinister person. I don't want to cause trouble again at my age."

Xu Chengze stood up suddenly, and said with a sullen face: "Master Hou is the emperor's uncle, and he thinks so, and the others dare not contend with the strict government. Alas! It's a pity, it's a pity! The emperor has a heart for the country and the people. But no one understands. Now I am even more lonely and have no one to use. The next sentence is the same, if the Liang Chaotang is overthrown, under the overthrow of the nest, there will be no eggs?"

He clenched his hands into fists, "It's not speculative, so I'll take my leave!"

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

"Oh! Brother Ning!"

Kong Qingping didn't expect the princess to have such a temper, but, what she said was all about government affairs, so, could it be that she came here as a lobbyist for the emperor?

He didn't care to look at his father's face, put down his chopsticks and got up to chase after him.

"stop."

Kong Qingshu's voice was as cold as a knife, Xu Chengze couldn't help standing still.

He turned around, and Kong Qingshu also stood up.

"Young Master Ning, I still say the same thing, do you think the emperor is a worthy person?"

"Yes." Xu Chengze nodded firmly, "Master Hou is not in the court, but he should know. If the current emperor hadn't mediated with Yan Zheng, you, the Marquis of Jiayue, and King Yiyang and King Anle would never be as carefree as they are now. Yan The government has played several times, saying that you only take the imperial salary but don't share the worries of the imperial court, so you should have your title removed. Also, if the emperor hadn't strongly opposed it, the people's taxes would have increased by a few cents, and the heavy and miscellaneous taxes would have caused dissatisfaction among the people. Wen, where will there be such a peaceful world by then? Lord Hou, now the emperor is charging forward alone, facing the strict government. You have the ability and the opportunity, why don't you help him? I believe that if there is no strict government, if there are a group of capable people Officials, if you can pass on the emperor's decrees, the emperor will definitely become a generation of sages."

"Why do you trust the emperor so much? How do you know so much about court affairs when you are a commoner? Who are you?"

Facing Kong Qingshu's triple question, Xu Chengze's eyes flickered, and soon became firm again.

"I'm just a silent and unknown person, and I don't have any fame, but even though I'm not in the court, as a child of the Liang Kingdom, how can I see the emperor working so hard? Strict government controls the government and covers the sky with one hand. Which of the people of the Liang Kingdom doesn't know? Common people They only know that the emperor is incompetent and let the grand master bully him. How do they know that even the emperor's relatives like Lord Hou don't help, and the emperor has no one to use, so how can he do something? It's ridiculous, lamentable, and sad!"

Kong Qingping was completely startled by Xu Chengze's words, why did the princess talk to his father like that?Although his father has ignored the court affairs for so many years, he still has a calm and good-tempered appearance, but in fact he is stubborn and hard-hearted. He, he wouldn't throw the princess out if he was so outspokenly accused by a young man?

Kong Qingshu was really angry in his heart, his face turned green and pale, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.This young man really dared to talk to himself like this.

As soon as he slapped the table, the bowls and chopsticks on the table shook, making a crisp sound.He said in a deep voice, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?"

Xu Chengze dared to say it, so he was naturally not afraid of his anger.

He smiled faintly, "I feel that Lord Hou was born in a poor family and can understand the sufferings of the people. As the emperor's uncle, he can feel sorry for the emperor's hard work. He will not just watch the strict governance of the people and the emperor fight alone. I didn't expect that Lord Hou just wants to be alone. I made a mistake, and I am willing to be punished."

He glanced at Luo Mingjun, "Lord Luo just happened to be here, saving Lord Hou from reporting to the officials. What is the crime? Is it arrogance to talk about the government or a crime?"

Luo Mingjun was called out, looked up at Xu Chengze, then lowered his head and gnawed a pig's trotter, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Kong Qingshu looked at Xu Chengze gloomyly, as if he wanted to see a hole in him.Xu Chengze's expression didn't change, he just stood there looking back at him without a trace of fear.

Kong Qingping looked at his father, then at Xu Chengze, and his heart hung high.He didn't know what was going on with Adele, so he didn't dare to speak for her.

Just as he was hesitating, Kong Qingshu suddenly burst out laughing.

"Young man, you are courageous enough! Please go to the study with Ben Hou to talk, how about it?"

Xu Chengze was also sweating just now.It was a complete accident to meet Kong Qingshu today, and I never thought of offending him.But seeing him and Kong Qingping standing idly by while clearly capable of helping Guo Heng, I felt so angry and hated that I couldn't help but speak more seriously.Moreover, he bet that Kong Qingshu actually had the intention of re-entering the court and helping Guo Heng, otherwise he would not be the professor of Shangshufang.

When Kong Qingshu spoke again, he knew he had won the bet.

He bowed deeply and apologized sincerely.

"If you are arrogant and disrespectful, please forgive me, Lord Hou."

Kong Qingshu walked up to him, helped him up personally, and said with a smile: "Young Master Ning, you don't need to apologize, the Marquis should thank you. Let's go to the study and have a good chat?"

"Your Majesty invited me, how dare I refuse to obey?"

Kong Qingshu stroked his beard and smiled happily. He turned to Kong Qingping and said, "Qingping, treat Master Luo well, and I'll have a good chat with you little friend."

Kong Qingping has long been stunned by the actions of these two people?What?My father actually pulled Concubine Ning's hand?They still have to close the door to chat in secret?This...does he want to tell the truth?

I'm dumbfounded!His father had already dragged Ning Guifei into the study.

He looked helplessly at Luo Mingjun, Master Luo still bowed his head and gnawed on a pig's trotter!Well, let's talk after we're full!I will send Concubine Ning Gui back to the palace in a while!

But don't let anything happen again!

However, he had dinner with Luo Mingjun, Luo Mingjun drank a cup of tea, said goodbye and left, his father and Ning Guifei hadn't come out yet.

Kong Qingping was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, circling around the door of the study, the door of the study was closed tightly, he couldn't see or hear anything.

Just when he couldn't help but push the door open to break in, the door of the study opened.

With a hearty smile on his face, Kong Qingshu personally pushed the door of Xu Chengze's study open.

"Young Master Ning, listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years. If you are free, go to the Hou Mansion more often. I want to hear your opinion on many things."

Xu Chengze looked humble, "Your Majesty is too much for the prize. Don't call me Mr. Ning, call me Ruoxu!"

"Okay, okay. Ruoxu, you are about the same age as Qingping, don't call me Lord Hou, just call me Uncle Kong!"

"How can this be done? Ruoxu is just a commoner..."

Kong Qingshu interrupted Xu Chengze with a smile, "Ruoxu, you shouldn't have said that. With your talent, it will be a matter of time before you become an official. Don't worry, this year's autumn exam is different from the past. If you work hard to promote students from poor families, you will definitely be the number one scholar in high school."

The last sentence happened to be heard by Kong Qingping, Kong Qingping curled his lips, this Mr. Ning is a noble concubine in the harem, how could he become an official?

He called "Father", Kong Qingshu turned his head and saw him.

"Why are you here? Where is Master Luo?"

Kong Qingping gave his father a helpless look, "Father, you have been chatting with Ruoxu for too long, Lord Luo has left." What do you think of Master Luo?"

Xu Chengze nodded, "Lord Luo is rough but fine. He is not afraid of power. He is a talent."

"I think so too."

Seeing that his father and the princess ignored him, Kong Qingping said helplessly: "Father, Mr. Ning's family is strictly controlled, it's getting late, I'm going to send him back."
