Yan Cigui.

After seeing off Xu Jian, Eunuch Cao turned and returned to the front of the imperial court.

The Holy One took up a pen to review the papers.

Eunuch Cao didn't make a sound, just refilled the tea lightly, put away the teacup used by Xu Jian, lifted the curtain and handed it out, and the tea waiter cleaned it up.

Eunuch Cao was thinking while doing things.

To be able to talk about not giving the prince face so well is to be the Duke of Fu.

Piansheng was not unhappy at all.

Oh yes.

Fu Guogong didn't even give the Holy Majesty face.

Fortunately, they are all matters of life, the Holy Majesty will not mind, but it is still inappropriate if you always refuse on important matters in the court.

Fortunately, Duke Fu has loosened his mind a lot recently.

pretty good.

If the monarch and his ministers can't reach an agreement, he will be waiting on the sidelines, and he will be worried.

On the other side, Xu Jian walked out along the palace road.

In the middle of the walk, a guard rushed to meet him, his footsteps hurried, and he was sweating profusely in the cold weather.

Xu Jian sized the man up.

The other party also saw Xu Jian, saluted hastily, and continued to run forward.

Seeing him going to the imperial study, Xu Jian guessed roughly: the person sent by the Holy One to dig Li Mi's grave in Jiangzhou has returned.

As for the result of digging out, it is not something that he can directly go to the imperial study to inquire about now.

Xu Jian withdrew his gaze, walked out of the Nangong Gate all the way to the Thousand-step Corridor.

Uncle Chengyi is now on a casual job in the Hanlin Academy.

It was lunch break, Xu Jian went to the Imperial Academy, and as soon as he walked in, the officials inside saw him, some were curious, some saluted, and some acquaintances came up to chat.

"Why is the Duke here?"

Xu Jian cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city: "Just after coming out of the imperial study, the Holy Majesty asked me to bring a few words to Bo Chengyi."

"That's not a coincidence," the man laughed, "Uncle Chengyi is taking a rest today, so he should be staying at home."

Xu Jian thanked him, and then said: "The Holy Majesty told me, so I have no choice but to go to the uncle's mansion to look for him."

The two sides bowed their hands together, and the man sent Xu Jian out of the Imperial Academy.

Go south along the long street, passing the back gate of Honglu Temple.

The officials of Honglu Temple are also resting.

Seeing Xu Jian's figure, I couldn't help but say hello.

There were also those who were not active, thinking that Xu Jian came to Honglu Temple to look for Liu Jing, and subconsciously wanted to say "Lord Liu, take a rest", but his colleagues with quick eyes and quick hands covered their mouths.

As soon as Xu Jian left, the colleague stomped his feet and said, "One's surname is Liu and the other's surname is Xu. Don't be so stupid as to treat them as father and son. Don't mention them if you can."

"Aren't they father and son?"

"Everyone in the court knows that Mr. Liu has fought several times during the next court. It's hard to say what is in Mr. Liu's mind. Anyway, Duke Fu doesn't like Mr. Liu. You actually want to mention it in person..."

Xu Jian still walked forward, leaving behind the usual voices of discussion.

After leaving the long street, Shen Chen had already arranged a sedan chair to wait in front for a while.

"This morning, the mother of the He family told you to stew mutton soup to drive you away from the cold." While speaking, Shen Chen handed over the prepared hand stove to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it over and said, "Don't go there yet, go directly to Chengyi Bo's Mansion."

Shen Chen was stunned.

where?

Grandpa Guo had already got on the sedan chair, and the curtain fell, dangling in front of Shen Chen's eyes.

Shen Chen was so shaken that he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Sincerity House?

Is it true that he heard wrong?

Their master actually wanted to go to Chengyibo's mansion in an open and honest manner...

The sedan chair went outside the uncle's mansion, and Shen Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Lin Dun accepted the post and welcomed Xu Jian into the door. Soon after hearing the news, Lin Yu rushed over.

"Uncle," Xu Jian saluted, and said, "I'm here by order of the Holy Majesty."

Lin Yu smiled.

Whether it is the business in Honest Alley or his cooperation with Xu Jian around the gold bricks, they are all under the water.

On the surface, the two houses of Lin and Xu are just officials of the same court, nodding and saluting.

Xu Jian is young, but he is also very cautious in handling things. Lin Yu believes that he will not knock on the door of his house rashly.

It is indeed justifiable that the Holy Majesty came here.

Lin Yu led Xu Jian to the study.

The way of hospitality, when passing the hall and porch, at least a few words should be introduced.

Xu Jian listened very carefully.

Lin Yu saw it in his eyes and said: "The title is different, it should be inferior to the Duke's Mansion."

"The popularity is different," Xu Jian replied, "Sincerely, there are many people in the uncle's house, so it will be more lively."

Lin Yu smiled lightly.

At times like this, self-effacing is not good.

After entering the study, Lin Ju served the tea, then withdrew and guarded the door.

Only then did Xu Jian bring up the previous incident: "The ability to catch Wang Liunian depends on uncle's tip-off. Otherwise, in such a big capital city, I really don't know where to find him."

"I just took advantage of a coincidence," Lin Yu said, "The Holy Majesty asked the Duke to come here, but what did Wang Liunian explain?"

Xu Jian avoided the important and ignored the trivial, and did not mention the real reason why she was arranged by the Holy One, but continued to talk about Wang Liunian.

"The waiter is stubborn. I tested Eunuch Cao's tone once. Wang Liunian suffered a lot but refused to explain it properly," Xu Jian said, "However, the person who went to Jiangzhou to dig graves came back. looking at him, but I don’t know what news to bring back.”

The two exchanged a lot of news and sorted it out.

Involving the death of King Ding, all the investigations in the imperial study were carried out based on this, but the investigation of gold bricks and banned books was put aside.

As long as the gold bricks are not allowed to see the light for a year or so, and then find another gold shop to melt them down, it will be safe.

Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty said you were ordered by the Holy One?"

This time, Xu Jian couldn't change the topic anymore.

"After the court, I went up to the Palace of Compassion and Ning with the saint, and met the princess," Xu Jian said, "I only found out after hearing from the princess. Before we arrived, the crown prince went to pay a visit to the empress dowager. Even my younger brother took it with him."

Lin Yu was extremely careful when he heard that it was related to Lin Yunyan.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, knowing the relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family, Lin Yu didn't call him "Lingdi": "Does the prince know him?"

"I shouldn't have recognized him. He had been in Anlu Academy before, and he only came back two days ago," Xu Jian said. "He was out of his mind, and the princess drove him away. He didn't even see the empress dowager."

Lin Yu: ...

With Yun Yan's petty temper, can she lose her temper like this in the Palace of Compassion?
How offensive did Liu Xun have to be to end up like this?

Seeing Lin Yu frowning, Xu Jian thought for a while, and said, "The Holy Majesty didn't know that I knew the princess, and he wanted to match me up, so he called me to the Palace of Compassion."

Suddenly, Lin Yu frowned even tighter.

Matching the two words is very jarring.

"You don't have to be so nervous, Uncle." Not only did Xu Jian dare to say it, he dared to say it all the way to the end, "The Empress Dowager would never agree to the Holy Majesty's wishful thinking, so there is no need for you to say no.

But it is also convenient for me, I just take advantage of this matter to visit the uncle's mansion, so that no one will think of the previous contacts.

It's just that Liu Xun may have bad intentions, and the princess will not be deceived by him, but the Liu family has a lot of tricks, who knows what insidious moves will be made. "
