After being bound by the eating and broadcasting system, I became a heartthrob

The vines grew wildly in the unattended courtyard of Cheng Mansion, climbed up a piece of red wall, and shyly poked their heads into the window. If others didn't know it, they would think it was an abandoned house that had been abandoned for a long time.

Chu Rui never cared about these things. No matter how someone takes care of it, no one takes care of it. In the end, it is just a handful of dust. At this time, he looked at the moonlight through the window and stared at the messy grass in the yard.

The servants who had been screened off for a long time had already rested, and the whole Chengfu was quiet only the sound of insects coming from the yard.

A burst of footsteps from far to near.

"Drinking?" Chu Rui asked the visitor.

"It's rare that you are so elegant, how can you not accompany me?" Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and teased in a warm voice with a smile, and the visitor had already sat down opposite him with his robe lifted.

There is a jar of sake that Chu Rui has prepared in front of him.

The sound of drizzling water was a bit abrupt in the silence, and soon, the jade cups placed in front of the two were filled with sake, reflecting the moonlight, which was extraordinarily clear.

Before Chu Rui picked up the wine glass, Meng Zhenzhi had already drank the wine in his glass, put the glass on the table casually, leaned back, and half-closed his eyes half-closed. looking at him.

Chu Rui lowered his eyes, twisted the wine glass with his fingers, and took a sip restrainedly.

Putting down his wine glass, he pursed his lips a little uncomfortably.

Watching his movements, Meng Zhenzhi sneered, "With this wine and the scene, doesn't His Highness the Second Prince want to say something?"

Chu Rui raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Of course I don't have the elegance of Brother Meng."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Meng Zhenzhi shook his head self-consciously, sighed again, and murmured in a low voice, entertaining himself by reciting a few doggerels written by boring Jianghu people while drinking.

Chu Rui heard novelty, and did not interrupt his self-immersion.

After a while, Meng Zhenzhi twitched the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, "After being immersed in government affairs for a long time, the inspiration will become tainted with plots and tricks, and the poems he writes are not as good as the barbarians. It seems that this official still can't do it, and he will be an official in the future." Happy tourists come here.”

Chu Rui also relaxed a lot at the moment, looked at him lazily with a pair of eyes, and said mockingly, "This sounds a little less confident, it seems that Brother Meng's return to the capital was a wrong decision, he didn't get anything, but more It's not worth it if you're tied down."

With a smile on the corner of Meng Zhenzhi's mouth, he lowered his eyes and filled up the empty cup in front of him, "There is nothing in this world that is worthwhile. If there is a loss, there must be a gain. I think this trip is worth it."

Chu Rui raised his eyebrows, "You mean, you have to leave in the future?"

"Go, of course." Meng Zhenzhi smiled without hesitation, "The sky is high enough for birds to fly. No matter how prosperous the capital is, what's the point of being confined to this piece of heaven and earth? It's better to go and learn more."

Chu Rui rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingers, and after looking at him for a while, it was rare to feel sincerely, "Sometimes I really envy you, if I wasn't in this position, I would probably be the same as you."

Meng Zhenzhi shook his head.

He leaned to the side, and tapped his fingers on the table regularly, "You are different from me, I don't have the patience to read dead books."

Chu Rui pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, as an acknowledgment of what he said.

Meng Zhenzhi smiled, "But how should I put it, in a certain aspect, our preferences are surprisingly consistent, for example..."

Like what?

He stopped talking again, apparently leaving a suspense, but in fact the two of them knew each other well.

Chu Rui was not irritated at all, but nodded calmly, "He is a good boy, no one will hate him...including me."

Meng Zhenzhi was surprised for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh, "It's rare to see you be so frank...It seems that His Highness the Second Prince really...has a special liking."

After saying this, both of them were silent for a while.

Meng Zhenzhi looked at the wine in his glass silently, and said after a while, "You know, he is not the child of the late emperor, so if His Royal Highness the Second Prince really wants to, just be decisive, maybe there will be Good result."

Chu Rui didn't blink his eyes, "Of course you don't need to say it."

"........"

Meng Zhenzhi was silent for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "You really have changed a lot."

"What about you?" Chu Rui asked bluntly.

"Me?......" Meng Zhenzhi looked down at the wine in his glass.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly felt a little tasteless, put the wine glass back on the table, and looked at the moon in the distance.

"I am duckweed, without roots, a traveler who is doomed to wander throughout his life, even if the moon has illuminated his journey, how dare he expect the moon to be his own?"

It's just that the wine is a bit too bitter, which makes my throat itchy and my chest feel hot.

Chu Rui looked at his self-deception and shook his head in disapproval.

This is the end of this unpleasant subject.

Meng Zhenzhi took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as if he wanted to dispel all the gloom in his heart by this method, he squinted his eyes, "Your Highness, Daming City is about to undergo a earth-shaking change."

Chu Rui nodded.

After a while, only his deep and sharp voice was heard, "I will go and retrieve the lost things with my own hands."

"Little Fuzi, has there been any news recently?"

When his name was called, Xiao Fuzi was subconsciously startled. He looked at Chu Qing who was reading the scriptures with his head down, and felt more and more that he was becoming a calm and angry emperor.

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly responded, "I don't know which aspect His Majesty is talking about."

Chu Qing casually threw the booklet on the desk, leaned on the dragon chair and rubbed his temples, and immediately someone came up to squeeze his shoulders.

He glanced at him lightly, and said with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Xiao Fuzi kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously, "Could it be that what your Majesty is talking about is a rumor about Mr. Wu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?"

Chu Qing gave an indifferent "hmm".

Wu Shixuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was originally a servant of the Ministry of Rites single-handedly selected by the late emperor, and he was considered a veteran figure. The former Minister of Rites retired and returned to his hometown, but he was promoted to the third rank and directly became Chu Qing's confidant.

Some people in the court had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and there were even rumors that he had colluded with the new emperor when the first emperor was still alive, but these were all small-minded people's rumors and did not come to fruition.

Now the situation is getting more and more tense, everyone in the DPRK is in danger, thinking about how to protect themselves, how can they have the mind to criticize others, this rumor has stopped for a while, but recently it has spread again for some reason.

Xiao Fuzi hesitated for a moment, organized his words, and said softly, "Your Majesty, recently it was reported that Lord Wu used his power for personal gain when he was in the position of Minister of Rituals, and leaked the questions to your majesty's highly regarded examinees."

"Oh?" Chu Qing frowned.

He thought for a while, then nodded. He didn't look angry at all, but rather pleased, "They guessed half right."

Xiao Fuzi couldn't figure out Chu Qing's current mood and thoughts at all, how could he dare to speak, and fell silent for a while.

Chu Qing's eyes fell on the pile of papers on the case in front of him, and he thought to himself, "Recently, many little mice are very disturbed."

His fingers tapped on the case a few times, "Do you know who made the noise?"

"This..." Xiao Fuzi shook his head, "I don't know yet."

"Tsk, it's really troublesome," Chu Qing said with a smile while propping his head on one hand, "In that case, we will arrest all those tongue-twisters and interrogate them one by one."

"It's absolutely impossible," Xiao Fuzi frowned, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this will make people's hearts go crazy!"

Chu Qing shook his hand casually. He was just saying it casually, and he wasn't going to really arrest everyone.

He pondered for a moment, then said in a steady voice, "Send someone to investigate, within three days, find out who is the one who released the rumors, no matter who it is, shoot and kill."

Xiao Fuzi lowered his eyes, "Yes, Your Majesty."

While discussing things inside, someone came outside and brought a maidservant with a flustered look, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you should go to the Empress Dowager's place to have a look. The Empress Dowager wants to see you."

This is the former empress, the current empress dowager's personal servant girl, she can't even care about her disrespect before the battle, her hair is messy, and the hairpins are stuck crookedly behind her head.

Xiao Fuzi couldn't remember exactly how many times she had come here, and Chu Qing had never been to see the Empress Dowager when she came back before.

It’s just that today I’m intrigued somehow, maybe it’s because I’m too bored, I actually got up, smiled and waved my sleeves, “Let’s go, let’s go to my mother’s place to have a look.”

The servant girl didn't notice the emperor's casual expression, and thought that the new emperor had changed his mind. She was overjoyed for a moment, kowtowed three heads in a row, got up and followed behind Chu Qing.

Qianning Palace has never had a peaceful day since the empress dowager moved in. There are rumors that the empress dowager became ill because of missing the late emperor, and became insane.

As soon as Chu Qing stepped into the hall, he smelled a heavy sandalwood fragrance.

The beautiful woman with disheveled hair was dressed luxuriously, and she was playing with a vase of epiphyllum rectification in her hand. When she threw it away, with a click, the valuable vase shattered into pieces.

Her eyes were dull, she looked up to see Chu Qing, and said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Why is the emperor in the mood to see me, a bad old woman today?"

Chu Qing raised his hand and retreated.

Xiao Fuzi was worried that the empress dowager would go crazy and hurt him, so he hesitated, "This..."

Chu Qing shook his head, "Why would my queen mother hurt me, you all go down, I have something to say to the empress dowager."

After everyone went down, the empress dowager looked at Chu Qing and sneered, and spat out deeply, "It's a pious appearance."

At the beginning, she believed in Chu Qing's appearance, thinking that he was a docile dog she raised, but who knew that he was a wolf that ate people and didn't spit out bones.

After being so abused by his mother, Chu Qing's face remained unchanged, and he smiled, "Don't be safe, mother, today is fine."

The empress dowager sneered a few times, her beautiful eyes were full of sarcasm and jealousy, "Okay, the Ai family is doing very well, and the Ai family has not lived long enough to die like you bastard, how dare the Ai family be bad."

Chu Qing lowered his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Mother, be careful."

The empress dowager picked up a medicine bowl containing tonics on the table and threw it on him, "Go away, bitch, I'm thinking about that vixen in my heart, I even forgot who gave birth to me."

She laughed angrily, "What? Your vixen ran away with someone else? Why don't you still have the time to come to me."

Being poked at the sore spot, Chu Qing's chest heaved violently a few times, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he managed to suppress his anger, and hooked the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry about the mother, since the mother is fine, the son will leave, and the mother will be fine." Stay here in Ninggong to recuperate."

He turned around and walked away as if he would be disgusted even if he took a second look.

The empress dowager scolded angrily behind him, "Emperor dog, you have a dirty mind, you miss your brother! You have missed him for eight years! You will die! You will die!"

Chu Ting twitched the corners of her mouth in disdain when she heard the extremely vicious and hysterical curses behind her.

He has long been doomed, and he can only go to darkness and death on this road.

No one can stand in his way.
