Are you full, sweetie?

It was already noon when Yunze woke up. It was the first time he slept so deeply. There seemed to be many strange things happened in the dream, but after waking up, he couldn't remember all of them.

Cai has a lot of eyeliner around An Lehou, she has been promoted as a concubine to be the head of the house, and she has the ability to take care of the rear house, not only coaxing An Lehou, but also frightening the other concubines into obedience.

The news about a box of gold bars soon reached Mrs. Cai's ears.

Danggui gave Yunze some tea to rinse his mouth.

Yunze rubbed the center of his brows: "Maybe I've been sick recently, and I've slept until now without knowing it."

Dang Gui said: "Mrs. Cai sent someone over just now, and the housekeeper sent a lot of things. Young master, don't you feel that the room is much warmer? You can sleep for a long time when it is warm."

There are more smoke cages in the room, which is a little warmer than usual.

"Ms. Cai sent someone to send silver charcoal and clothes." Dang Gui said, "I sent people to the tailor shop early in the morning. I think the clothes fit well, and I guess they cost a lot of money. The master is the master of this mansion, master. If you treat me a little better, Mrs. Cai will not dare to take care of her."

Although Cai has a lot of twists and turns in his heart, he dare not confront An Lehou on the surface.

The prosperity and wealth of the Cai family and Yun Yang all depend on An Lehou, she doesn't have the guts to do so.Even if he wanted to harm someone, he would use some means in private, and on the surface he smiled kindly and called Yun Ze "little master" when he saw him.

Clothes have to be worn anyway.An Lehou was going out tonight, and Yunze had to accompany him.

Yunze guessed that the situation at night was difficult to deal with. If it was a good thing, it would definitely not fall on him.Others are in the Hou's mansion and cannot refuse An Lehou's arrangement. Who made An Lehou his current biological father?

When An Lehou saw Yunze, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Yunze's usual plain clothes and old robes are already somewhat prettier than his brooding elder brother - you know, there are not many young masters who are more handsome than Yunyang in the capital.

Now the brocade clothes and costumes are even more amazing.

Yunze reminded: "Father?"

Looking at his delicate and beautiful little son carved in pink and jade, An Lehou understands why there is such a masculinity in the capital.

An Lehou came back to his senses: "Let's go."

The servants carried An Lehou to the carriage, but Yunze did not sit with An Lehou.

Soon arrived at Yang Mansion.

An Lehou found out that Yang Tong's house was hosting a banquet tonight, and many officials from the Regent's side would attend the banquet. He tried every means to get Yang Tong to invite him.

It is of course impossible for An Lehou to give up his position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. He wants to establish a good relationship with the regent's subordinates, and see if he can find a way to deal with the case of Princess Huaishu from them.

After being notified, the servants of the Yang Mansion brought them into a room: "His Royal Highness Prince Liao came unexpectedly this afternoon, Lord Hou wait here for a while, His Highness is leaving soon."

An Lehou did not expect that the Prince Regent was also in the Yang Mansion.

"I didn't know His Highness was here, so I'm going to see His Highness right now."

The servant of the Yang family said: "I will inform you first."

Yang Tong heard the notification from his servants, and he said to Zhong Xing: "Your Highness, Yun Changyuan is here, do you want to see me?"

Zhong Xing's face was gloomy.

He was about to leave, and he didn't have the heart to see any idlers, and he didn't have time to listen to Yun Changyuan's flattery.

The servants reported to An Lehou.

Although An Lehou was disappointed, he was not surprised. The regent was already out of reach. Even if he was not the emperor now, he would definitely be the emperor in the future.

He glanced at Yunze: "The officials who came tonight are not ordinary, you must be careful in what you say and do, and don't embarrass the Yun family."

After drinking a cup of tea and waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the servants invited An Lehou to come over.

The dinner in the Yang Mansion just started.

An Lehou was the first one to come, and other adults came one after another after that.

There are Ministers of the Ministry of Officials who sit on the same level as An Lehou, two generals of the fifth rank, and a servant of the household department of the third rank.

When Gao Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials saw Yun Ze, his eyes flashed with astonishment. He stroked his beard and said, "Master Yun, is this your son?"

An Lehou and Gao Pu have known each other for many years, and the relationship between them is not harmonious.Gao Pu has a kind face and a cruel heart. He is a well-known cruel official in the Qi dynasty.

An Lehou and Gao Pu used to be tit for tat, but now An Lehou has no confidence to fight back.Today is different from the past, he has to bow his head to Gao Pu.

"This is the dog Yunze," An Lehou said, "Ze'er, this is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, please give me a toast."

Gao Pu smiled and said: "Master Yun, your son is really good-looking. If I have a daughter, I will definitely marry her to him."

Yang Tong watched with cold eyes.

Yang Tong and Gao Pu are superiors and subordinates, Gao Pu's official position is above Yang Tong's, and both of them work in the Ministry of Officials.

Gao Pu is not familiar with the regent's cronies, so he doesn't know the existence of Yunze. Yang Tong has a better relationship with Xu Jing, and some things can be inquired about.

Seeing Gao Pu pouring Yunze to drink again and again, Yang Tong called a servant: "Go and pass the news to Xu Jing, saying that Yunze is in my house."

Even if they can be promoted to one level, they want to be promoted to another level. Although Gao Pu and Yang Tong both work for the regent, they still have struggles with each other.Yang Tong looked down on Gao Pu's demeanor of bullying Xia Meishang. He was repeatedly suppressed by Gao Pu, and he wanted to get rid of him a long time ago.

An Lehou wholeheartedly wanted to squeeze into the regent's camp, but the regent was unwilling to accept him.Gao Pu knew about this, and was secretly happy in his heart.

On weekdays, how could Gao Pu let the young master of Anlehou Mansion give him a toast?Yunze looks so good, Gao Pu really wanted to pinch the back of Yunze's snow-white hand if the other party didn't want to approach him.

Yunze didn't drink very well, but after drinking seven or eight cups, his cheeks turned red.

Gao Pu smiled and said: "Master Yun, your young master doesn't hold a lot of alcohol."

An Lehou was not happy.His son was tossed about by his former political opponent, and he couldn't be happy.

However, the Yun family is now being roasted on the fire, if sacrificing Yunze can bring stability to the Yun family, An Lehou is willing to sacrifice this son.

Yang Tong said: "Lord Gao, Mr. Yun is too strong to drink, so don't persuade him to drink."

Gao Pu knew that Yang Tong was coveting his position, and the two had a good relationship on the surface, but in fact they were secretly competing. Yang Tong persuaded him so much that he wanted to force Yun Ze to drink: "Master Yun has a leg injury and cannot drink. His father's drinking is clearly an act of filial piety, Mr. Yang, don't you want Mr. Yun to be filial? Mr. Yun, have another drink, if you don't drink, you won't give the old man face. Fill up Mr. Yun quickly."

How could Yunze have played with these greasy old foxes, every time he wanted to refuse, Gao Pu would always use some harsh words to pressure him, An Lehou watched coldly.

He knew that Gao Pu would not go too far, and for the sake of the reputation of the Yun family, An Lehou would not let a man offend Yun Ze—otherwise it would be ugly if it spread.

Yunze's mind is no longer sober, he knows that he must not drink any more.

Even if he refused and went back to be punished by An Lehou, he would not be able to drink anymore.

Gao Pu smiled and said: "Master Yun, your son is really obedient. For the sake of my nephew, I will also give you a few words of kindness in front of His Highness King Liao."

An Lehou knew that everything could be done easily when the wine was properly drunk.

Gao Pu asked the maid to pour another glass of wine: "Young Master Yun, have another drink—one more drink will let you and your father go home."

Yun Ze was unconscious, An Lehou handed him the wine, but he actually spilled it with a crooked hand.

"He's drunk, how about drinking with you alone?"

A cold voice came from behind, Gao Pu was stunned for a moment, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground instantly.

The person who knelt on the ground in an instant: "Meet His Royal Highness King Liao."

Yunze is now so drunk that he doesn't know what's going on. An Lehou's legs and feet are injured and he can't kneel down. Yunze caused trouble, so he quickly pushed Yunze down to kneel.

Gao Pu said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness is coming, and I should be punished for being too far away. If Your Highness wants to drink, I will toast you."

"Lord Gao," the man in the python robe stopped in front of Gao Pu, and Gao Pu saw the man's black boots.Zhong Xing's sense of oppression was so heavy that everyone dared not even breathe, "I only drink head wine, can I borrow your head?"

In a short period of time, Gao Pu didn't know where he had offended the regent—but he didn't need to know at all, all he needed to do was sacrifice his head.

Yang Tong was kneeling on the ground beside him, his face almost touching the floor, and when he smelled the smell of blood, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These Beijing officials always feel that the regent is cruel and arbitrary, and they fabricate all kinds of rumors in the capital.

In a sense, these rumors did not discredit the Prince Regent.

Because he is indeed cruel, so cruel that the arrogant and domineering soldiers of Beidi would tremble after hearing the name "Zhong Xing".

This Young Master Yun is young and simple, although he is not stupid, but he has experienced too little, has not seen much in the world, he does not know how to speak many words, and some things cannot be avoided. He has been in this group of officials for decades In the eyes of many people, it is a gentle and harmless sika deer, rubbing it as you want.

But the person behind this young master Yun is ruthless.

An Lehou was spattered all over with blood, he had never seen such a bloody scene, he didn't dare to blink his eyes, his head throbbed with pain.

Although I don't know why the regent ran out and went crazy, but - this person dared to dethrone the emperor, and even dared to kill people with a knife in the Golden Temple, so don't speculate whether his behavior is normal.

Seeing the person in front of him, An Lehou's heart instantly rose to his throat. He was afraid that the regent would kill him mad and cut off his head.

However, the other party did not.

He saw the regent holding down Yunze's shoulder beside him, and raised his chin.

Yun Ze was quite drunk, he didn't kneel on the ground just now, after being pressed down by An Lehou, he fell into a drowsy sleep, completely unaware of who touched him.

Zhong Xing looked at An Lehou, his handsome face was dripping with blood, and his voice was quite cold: "Master Yun, your son is not bad."

An Lehou was so frightened that his mind went blank, and it took him a long time to realize what the other party said. His voice trembled: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment."

Zhong Xing hugged Yunze.

Xu Jing watched the person leave, and then stepped forward to warn An Lehou: "Master Hou, Your Highness doesn't like other people talking nonsense, please keep your mouth shut about today's matter, and don't reveal a word to the young master."

An Lehou said: "Yunze is my son, I—"

Xu Jing interrupted him: "If you can't shut it tightly, His Highness has no choice but to send someone to cut off your tongue."

An Lehou: "..."

He must keep his mouth shut.

After Xu Jing instructed, he quickly followed Zhong Xing.

Xu Jing didn't know if Zhong Xing was still pretending to be a refined gentleman in front of Yun Ze.

Today's incident is likely to spread, if it reaches Yun Ze's ears, all Zhong Xing's previous pretense will be in vain.

Xu Jing said: "Your Highness, where are we going?"

"Seeking the Moon Garden."

Xu Jing knew that Zhong Xing would not tell Yunze his identity for the time being at the residence of King Ruijun.

"He's so poor, he actually imitates the grown-ups in drinking," Zhong Xing said, "I thought he was very smart."

Xu Jing noticed that there was no contempt in Zhong Xing's words, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yun is too eye-catching, who would not pay attention to him when he is wearing this fine attire today? Gao Pu is a treacherous and lustful person, Mr. Yun I can't handle it at a young age, and being forced to drink is also helpless."

Zhong Xing carried Yun Ze into the sedan chair.

Xu Jing followed the sedan chair: "Your Highness, you originally planned to kill Gao Pu after you used up Gao Pu, but now you kill him ahead of time, because you are afraid that it will be difficult for the officials to deal with it. Yang Tong is so bold that he uses you to get rid of Gao Pu, how do you want to deal with him?" ?”

Xu Jing seems to be friends with many officials under Zhong Xing, but in fact he is only loyal to Zhong Xing. Yang Tong regards Xu Jing as a source of information, and Xu Jing regards Yang Tong as Zhong Xing's pawn.

Zhong Xing does not reject scheming and ambitious subordinates, subordinates fight with each other, if the situation is not too ugly, he will not stop it.

"He is eyeing the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, let him try first to see if he has the ability to secure this position."

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment: "His Royal Highness killed someone again tonight. Fortunately, the young master was drunk and didn't see it, otherwise he might be so scared. Listen to my advice, you can't do things as you want in Mingdu, these civil and military ministers—"

"I know." Zhong Xing said coldly, "Sir, there is no need to say too much."

Xu Jing reminded Zhong Xing only when he knew that his heart was clear.

The monarch who pretends to be a wise man will believe that he is benevolent when he sees him, but he is actually a cold and ruthless tyrant.

Zhong Xing's brutal actions were not out of control, nor did he go mad, he was fully awake and fully aware of what he was doing and the consequences.

Zhong Xing did this because he was such a person.

Xu Jing didn't know whether Yun Ze was lucky or unlucky.

It doesn't matter that the brother who suppressed Yunze is a scary guy with duplicity on the outside and a dark heart... Zhong Xing is a thousand times more terrifying than his brother, what kind of luck is Yunze.
