Tanhualang

Xu Peng really came to plead guilty.

Before, he only thought that his son had offended Feng Hong in the Jiaofang Division, but who knew that King Yu arrived in Nanjing today, and all the ministers in Nanjing were waiting for Wang Jia together.After the ceremony and everyone dispersed, Feng Hongcai told him the ins and outs of the incident one by one.

Xu Peng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

After thinking about it, I thought that I could talk to Ding Bao, so I immediately went to ask Ding Bao.Although Ding Bao reprimanded him a few words, he still pointed out the way, and asked him to come to King Yu to plead guilty, and then he came to the door.

Shen Jing followed King Yu to the front hall and saw Xu Peng standing there respectfully. As soon as King Yu came out, he hurriedly came forward to salute:

"Xu Peng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, has met His Highness!"

Zhao Heng took his seat and waved his hand:

"Master Xu is flat. Be quiet and watch tea."

"Don't dare." Xu Peng only raised his head, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "I didn't meet you rashly today, not for anything else. I have no morals, and I ran into His Highness a few days ago. I am not strict in discipline, so I came here to plead guilty to His Highness. "

"Your Excellency did not disrespect me, but Mr. Shen." Zhao Heng pointed to Shen Jing who was beside him, "The ancients said that it is the fault of the son not teaching his father. Mr. Xu must be busy with government affairs and has no time to teach his son."

"Don't dare dare!" Xu Peng heard this, sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, "To tell the truth, the dog is usually spoiled by the family, and often speaks and does nothing, and I also have powerless intentions."

After speaking, he turned to Shen Jing again:

"Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry for offending the dog—"

Shen Jing hurriedly moved aside:

"Don't dare, Mr. Xu is too polite. It was too late that day, the lights were dim, and it was possible that the young master could not recognize people clearly. I didn't take it to heart."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your generosity." Xu Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "In a few days, the dog will come to apologize in person."

Shen Jing hastily declined:

"That's really unnecessary."

To be honest, that night he didn't even have time to see the face of the other party clearly, Zhao Heng kicked the other party into the grass.If we really meet again, it will be embarrassing in vain.

"Since the owner doesn't care about it, this matter is over." King Yu finally said, "There is one more thing. I made a rash move that day and accidentally injured Young Master Ling. I hope Master Xu will forgive me."

Saying this is giving Xu Peng a step. Naturally, Xu Peng is not stupid, so he quickly took it:

"His Royal Highness has personally taught him a lesson, and the dog has learned a lot from a pitfall. He will definitely correct his mistakes in the future and be cautious in his words and deeds. I must thank Your Highness!"

Zhao Heng waved his hand and mentioned another matter:

"Master Xu, please drink tea. You have been in the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing for three years."

"……Yes."

Seeing that Xu Peng was about to sweat again, King Yu changed his words:

"Then Sun Ping, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, you should have worked together before."

"Yes." Xu Peng wiped his sweat again, "Not long after I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Sun returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety because of his father's death. It has been exactly two years now."

Zhao Heng nodded and asked again:

"How is Sun Ping in the Ministry of Rites?"

"This..." Xu Peng paused, and he was a little embarrassed to answer, "Your Highness should also know that there are not many affairs in the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing... It was Mrs. Sun and me before, but now that he has gone, I am the only one. Barely coping."

Although he said this in a tactful way, he understood: the Ministry of Rituals was too leisurely, even Sun Ping, the minister, was not there, and only one servant was left to operate normally; then when Sun Ping was here, there must be not many things to be busy with.

After sending Xu Peng away, Zhao Heng sat in the living room for a while.

Shen Jing's drunkenness had already subsided, seeing Zhao Heng's expression was a little hesitant, so he stood silently by the side.After a while, I heard Zhao Heng ask:

"Miao'an has heard of Sun Jian's name?"

"... I have heard." Shen Jing hesitated for a while, and then said, "The former commander of the Great Ningwei, and the later governor of Ningxuan and the two prefectures."

"That's right." Zhao Heng nodded, "Daning is connected to Liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west. Sun Ping was the commander of Daningwei back then. The one-man governor Ning Xuan and the two mansions, together with the commander Duoyan and the three guard cavalry, repelled Bei Yuan's invasion countless times."

"..."

"He is the second son of General Sun Yao. He once stayed with me in Ningxia, and he is only forty now." There are many Japanese pirates in the south. Brother Huang is always worried that there are no generals available in the court, but such a pillar is now living in his hometown for the elderly. What do you think is the reason for this?"

"..."

Shen Jing followed him all the way to the backyard.

He could hear the resentment and helplessness in Zhao Heng's words, but he didn't know how to respond.Even though he is not an official in the court, he knows that the current situation in the court is turbulent: the emperor has not been able to grasp the power in the court not long after he ascended the throne; So - even Zhao Heng, Shen Jing didn't know whether he was loyal to the emperor, or one of these forces?

The next day was Mao Shizheng, and the sky was just dawning.Shen Jing even heard "bang bang bang" knocking on the door in his sleep.He woke up from the dream, hurriedly put on his clothes and got up to open the door. Seeing that it was Wei Zheng, he couldn't help being startled:

"What's the matter, Captain Wei?"

Wei Zheng was dressed in a short suit, and said with a slight smile:

"Mr. Shen forgot? Yesterday His Highness asked me to do morning exercises with you."

Shen Jing was taken aback for another moment, then forced a smile:

"Lieutenant Wei, Your Highness is just joking."

Wei Zheng raised his hand to block the door, with a meticulous expression:

"Mr. Shen should know His Highness's temper. His Highness never jokes. The king's order is hard to break, so don't make things difficult for me."

Shen Jing is still trying to struggle:

"But I don't have the right clothes either—"

"Mr. Shen, don't worry about it," Wei Zheng showed a reliable smile, "Wangfu Guard Battalion has a special manufacturing office, and there is no shortage of this."

"..."

Quietly resigned to his fate, he went back to his room, changed his clothes, and followed Wei Zheng out the door.

To the southwest of the Weaving Bureau are the stables and the barracks. A large open space has been fenced around the stables. The guards of the government regard this as a school ground and come to practice every day.

Although the school field was quiet at this time, there were still many soldiers who were practicing.Shen Jing changed her clothes, and followed Wei Zheng procrastinatingly, looking as if she would fall asleep at any moment, causing Wei Zheng to stop, crying and laughing:

"Mr. Shen, may I trouble you to be more energetic? I'm also very busy. If it wasn't for His Highness's assignment, why should I embarrass you here?"

"What Xiaowei Wei said is true." Shen Jing got up his spirits and walked two steps quickly, caught up with Wei Zheng, and tried to discuss with him, "Lieutenant Wei, listen to me."

"Please speak."

"Since you and I are both busy, how about this: From now on, you can tell His Highness that I get up early to practice every day. As for me, waking up a quarter and a half early and walking around twice is considered practice. What do you think?"

"..."

Shen Jing saw Wei Zheng frowning and glanced to one side, thinking that he disagreed, so she continued to persuade:

"God knows this matter, you know and I know. If you don't tell me, I don't tell you, how will His Highness know what's going on?"

"..."

Seeing Wei Zheng's sympathetic expression, he asked quietly:

"Lieutenant Wei, what do you think of my idea?"

"I don't think so."

"..."

A familiar voice sounded behind him.

Shen Jing slowly turned around.

Zhao Heng was standing behind him, his blouse was already soaked in sweat, he must have been on the school grounds for a while, seeing Shen Jing turning his head, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Zheng who was beside him:

"Take him to run around the school ground for a few laps to loosen his muscles and bones. Then learn boxing and kicking."

After ten laps, Shen Jing panted and leaned in the corner of the school field. Seeing Zhao Heng's graceful and capable body, he was personally leading the guards to practice boxing and footwork. He couldn't help but regret his mistake: King Yu has been in the army for many years and is still leading the army. How could it be broken? Daily drills?

Xiaoyou at the side held the towel, not knowing whether to sympathize with Shen Jing, or tease him again:

"Brother Shen Jing, His Highness has always been serious in his work, and he does what he says. He practices with the guards in the house every day, so don't try to be lazy as soon as possible."

"..."

"Actually, Your Highness is also doing it for your own good." Xiao Youyu said earnestly, "I heard what happened last night from Ding Bao. Someone actually treated you as a girl and molested you. Although it was the other party's fault, you have nothing to do with it." The power of resistance is too embarrassing."

Shen Jing tried to explain:

"I did it with him too—"

...It's just that they haven't hit each other.

Xiao You interrupted him, and said seriously:

"The world is getting worse, and there are not a few people who flirt with handsome men nowadays. You can learn some kung fu from Wei Zheng, not only to strengthen your body but also to defend yourself. If you meet Deng Tuzi again in the future, just kick him like His Highness. Still dare to bully you?"
