When the prince heard the old housekeeper's words, he answered quietly, followed the old housekeeper through three courtyards, and came to a hall in the courtyard.
Now, Zhang Feng is sorting out the tea leaves and squeezed out some.
Seeing this, the old butler outside the door walked briskly two or three times, leaving the prince beside him, took the teapot from Wang Ye's hand, and made tea for him.
Prince 'Ye Yan' just entered the palace timidly, sniffing the strange tea fragrance in the air, he recognized what kind of tea his uncle was drinking.
But then, he reacted and bowed to Zhang Feng,
"My nephew sends greetings to my uncle! My uncle traveled well a while ago."
"You and my nephew, there's no need to say polite words." Zhang Feng held up his teacup and looked at the respectful prince, "Did your uncle ask you to come, or did your father ask you to come?"
"Hmm..." the prince hummed a few times when he heard this question, and said with a dry smile: "If you go back to uncle, it's my nephew who wants to come.
It was my nephew who came back from his travels thinking about my uncle, so I must have seen a lot of new things, so I came here boldly, wanting to hear what my uncle has learned and taught me."
The prince said, and saluted again, the more he said, the more natural he said: "My nephew has lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and rarely travels abroad. I am yearning for the interesting things about my Daqi's people's livelihood, the great mountains and rivers."
"Oh?" Seeing the prince blurting out his words, Zhang Feng immediately paused the hand holding the teacup, and then put down the teacup, "Uncle thought that you only focused on managing the government and were familiar with government affairs.
But I never thought that you are like your third brother who loves to play, knowing what is human and worldly?Why help the officials under the door to intercede?
You came today because of Sun Wenshu, right? "
Having said that, Zhang Feng looked at the prince with an unnatural expression again, "As long as you tell the truth, uncle will not be angry. Tell me, who asked you to come?"
In Zhang Feng's memory, including this period of contact, Zhang Feng has confessed a lot to the prince with his heart, knowing that the prince is dedicated to the court and the people, and will never be fettered by family affection.
To put it bluntly, just like a "a little ruthless" upright official, there will be no factors of family affection in judging the case.
For example, two years ago, when a close friend of the prince was arrested, the prince would be able to remain indifferent and impartial.
Although the rumors outside are not very good, it is said that the prince is a bit ruthless.
But it has also been supported by more people, saying that the prince is a good Mingjun.
But now that the prince came here to intercede, Zhang Feng felt that the prince was definitely instructed by 'others'.
This other person, who can order the prince, is nothing more than the prime minister and his senior brother.
also learned from it.
Zhang Feng felt that the matter of Mr. Sun should not have spread from the court.
Otherwise, seeing the prince like this today, combined with many things, the ruthless selflessness that was popular in the past will be instantly shattered.
The two prime ministers are still fully prepared.
It is guaranteed that this happened within the court, and at most it was only spread within the court.
Also think about it here.
Zhang Feng knew that this drama was for the ministers to watch, and the ministers felt that the prince was "protecting his weaknesses".
It also let me know that the prince not only handles the government affairs properly, but also pays more attention to friendship, so he is a good candidate for the crown prince.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Feng had already figured out the plan of Sheng Shang and the others.
All in all, this thing is for oneself to see.
As for Mr. Sun, whether the magistrate Lu asked to beheaded is a trivial matter, and it is just a prelude to "the crown prince's apology".
It seems that people who play court affairs are people who play court affairs, and everything can be blown as east wind.
At the same time, when the prince heard his uncle ask him who sent him here, he hesitated and dared not speak.
When Zhang Feng took a look, he didn't need to look at it with his mind, which proved his idea even more.
This matter is really the masterpiece of that in-law prime minister and his senior brother.
Among them, the main messenger is the senior brother.
Otherwise, without His Majesty's approval, it would be regarded as giving the prime minister 1 courage, and the prime minister would not dare to mess with Mr. Sun who embezzled the land.
After all, Master Sun is a member of his ministry.
If he dared to protect and show up in the palace, no matter how he identified him, he would be an accessory.
"Your father sent you here, right?" Zhang Feng stood up and walked towards the prince.
When the prince saw his uncle approaching 'aggressively', he took a small step back in fright, and suddenly closed his eyes.
It's just that Zhang Feng walked past him without making a move.
"Master Sun's copywriting, uncle has already read it.
Apart from the matter of the county magistrate Lu, this person has indeed worked hard and made great contributions to the people of Daqi.
For this reason, my uncle was going to withdraw the case of Lu County Magistrate, but Sun Wenshu and others wanted to demote all of them, starting with the youngest civil servants, so that their family could reflect on themselves. "
Having said this, Zhang Feng looked at the prince who dared not turn around from the beginning to the end,
"Let's go back."
"Uncle" the prince heard his uncle driving him away, thought his uncle was angry, so he turned around and said something.
Because in the final analysis, the kind uncle let go, and he didn't beat and scold him as he imagined. It was to give him face. He was moved in his heart, and he wanted to express his gratitude to some extent.
Seeing his fear and anxiety, Zhang Feng laughed and walked outside the hall, looking in the direction of the prime minister's mansion, "The prime minister must have been waiting for a long time, uncle will not keep you.
On your way back to the palace, go and talk to the prime minister about what happened today.Tell your uncle again that he owes your uncle a favor now. "
Chapter 341 The New Year's End Is Coming (Two in One)
"It's uncle." The prince bowed and waited for his uncle to walk towards the outside yard and his figure disappeared before he straightened up.
At the same time, the second courtyard from the main hall.
Zhang Feng walked out of the courtyard gate and saw the old housekeeper and others standing here, but he was watching his nose and nose, and he didn't listen to the slightest conversation in the hall from the beginning to the end.
The four guards and counselors including the prince also stood tremblingly.
At this time, they saw the prince coming out, but the prince did not appear, nor did they rush into the courtyard, but instead saluted respectfully.
"Old butler, let's rest." Zhang Feng nodded slightly, but kept walking, "Let them leave the house on their own."
"Yes" the old housekeeper saluted, then looked at the prince who had just left the courtyard, and then he clasped his fists with an apologetic expression, and left with the prince.
It's just that Zhang Feng didn't give it away this time, not to shame the prince.
It's also because Zhang Feng gave enough face this time, but the prince is always a junior.
You have to show some momentum and attitude, and you can't let the prince feel that anything, as the prince, he will go out in person, and if he bows like this and calls him uncle, he will succeed immediately.
I am his uncle, so I have to 'handle' a little bit.
This is goodwill, just like the fourth prince and others, telling them that things cannot be taken for granted.
In the same way, when the prince saw his uncle making a face for him, he felt much better.
Otherwise, his uncle, who was always strict, suddenly treated him so well, and he was still worried, a little confused, whether his uncle didn't dote on him anymore.
If this is not favored, everything before is polite at best.
The prince was really scared.
As for whether his uncle was picking on him, or something.
The prince really didn't think that deeply, but felt that his uncle only needed to scold him, so that he would know that his uncle hadn't changed and still loved him.
Hit, it hurts more, really hurts.
Of course, he also felt that it would be best if the child was old enough not to fight.
"Congratulations to uncle!"
He bowed in the direction where Zhang Feng was leaving from a distance, and after this bow, he led everyone out of the prince's mansion.
Come out again.
Without stopping, he followed his uncle's instructions and took people to the prime minister's mansion.
but in the meanwhile.
In the prime minister's mansion.
The prime minister was still looking at the moon in the courtyard at this time, but he was a little anxious in his heart. He felt that the news of his nephew's departure had not yet come, and it had been too long. The palace will just rest for the night, right?
If this is the case, then as an uncle, he has to take a risk, regardless of his love and etiquette, or as a courtier who cares about the prince.
And not just the prime minister.
Even Sun Wenshu, who was kneeling in the hall, felt the quiet atmosphere, his heart was beating wildly, thinking that he was probably dead!
For a while, he stared blankly at the table and chairs in front of him, just staring blankly.
But also time passed, about ten minutes later.
Following the report from the housekeeper outside, the prince came to see him.
The prime minister outside the courtyard was overjoyed, and then he returned to normal. He returned to the hall calmly, passed by Sun Wenshu who was kneeling, and returned to the first place.
When Sun Wenshu heard that the prince was back, he also raised his head and looked at the prime minister in front of him with hopeful and begging eyes again.The prime minister ignored him and just sat there.
Seeing that the prime minister ignored him, Sun Wenshu didn't say much, but listened quietly to the footsteps outside the courtyard, hoping to hear his execution soon.
It is indeed too uncomfortable to suffer like this.
But after a few breaths, there was a sound of footsteps.
The crown prince who left the palace at this time showed the demeanor he should have, strode into the hall with broad strides, bowed his hands to the prime minister, and said, "I have seen uncle."
"It's good to be back." The prime minister smiled and nodded, but then he realized that when he said this, it looked like the place the prince had just gone to, what kind of dangerous place?
The crown prince didn't care about his uncle's words. Instead, he looked at Sun Wenshu who was kneeling all the time, and then said again: "Uncle, uncle and I have explained it. It is said that Sun Wenshu and others were relegated to the official post outside the imperial capital. envoy."
"Thank you lord, thank you prince, thank you prime minister!" Sun Wenshu thought he was going to die, but now he heard that he was still alive, he kowtowed heavily, and he was already grateful to lord in his heart, ready to do things well.
Beyond that, he had a lot to say about gratitude.
However, the prime minister waved his hand, and Sun Wenshu, who was still alive after the catastrophe, with an agitated face, stepped back.
He knelt for so long, but he still didn't dare to move. Now that he came up together, his legs were still not numb, and it was not difficult to see that the physique of an official with national fortune was beyond ordinary.
Even if Sun Wenshu didn't have any qualifications, he was abruptly mentioned in Foundation Establishment by the National Fortune.
Seeing Sun Wenshu leaving excitedly, the prime minister looked at the prince who was hesitant to speak again, "If you have anything to say, just speak up. Does the prince have anything to say to me?"
"Uncle" the prince pondered for a while, then said: "Uncle said, you owe uncle a favor"
When the prince of 'humanity' heard this sentence, he thought about it for a while, and immediately thought of the prince of Jin!
This matter is because he owes the prince the favor of the "Noon Dao Changxiang Case", and finally he has no other choice, so he told the prince about the method of transferring the dragon spirit of the Jin Dynasty.
This matter violates the laws of Daqi and is not tolerated by all officials.
If he is discovered, the prime minister will not be able to escape the responsibility.
The prime minister is already worried about this matter every day, for fear that when the prince returns to the court, someone will find out that he is pregnant with a great fortune.
But now, I owe the prince another favor.
What will the prince ask him to do next?
The prime minister was really afraid that the prince would come up with some wonderful and scary ideas and leave it to the frightened him to do it.
Think of this.
The prime minister waved his hand and asked the prince to live in his mansion first, and then return to the East Palace tomorrow.
Otherwise, traveling in the middle of the night is a bit unsafe.
Seeing that his uncle cared about him, the prince obediently stayed there.
But just as the prince entered the palace, the prime minister quietly left the palace overnight and entered the palace.
And under the leadership of an ascension monk.
The prime minister crossed the barriers and came to the study in the palace.
The Holy Majesty was making tea behind the table at this time, and he didn't seem to have left all afternoon, including the Ascension Brother who went to pick up the Prime Minister, who was also waiting there early.
"I have seen the Holy Majesty!"
As the monk Feisheng left, the prime minister stepped forward to greet him.
