Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 191 Apprenticeship

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhen followed the prince out of the palace.

On the chariot, the prince said to Zhu Zhen, who was leaning forward with only half of his buttocks sitting:

"You also know that Mr. Liu is not in good health. He had another illness a few days ago and he still can't go to the ground. Don't make him angry again."

"I've really changed, brother." Zhu Zhen said, rubbing his butt gently.

"Okay, I believe you." The prince rubbed his head lovingly. At this time, the car stopped and Donghua Gate arrived.

Qianhu, the guards of Donghua Gate, came forward to pay their respects.

The prince opened the curtain of the car and let the thousands of households take a closer look at what was going on in the car.

Apart from him and King Chu, there was no third person.

Qianhu quickly saluted King Chu again.

"I have been ordered to send the King of Chu to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion to become a disciple. From now on, the King of Chu will leave the palace once every other day." The prince said to the thousand households with a pleasant look.

"We have been notified." Qianhu said respectfully, holding a gold medal in both hands and saying, "Your Highness, please keep it safe and hand it back when you return to the palace. If there is any loss, please trouble the Emperor or His Highness the Crown Prince again." His Majesty can only return to the palace according to the decree."

"Oh. Are there any other things to note?" Zhu Zhen held the gold medal as if he had found a treasure. This is a proof of freedom.

"Also, His Highness can only enter and exit through Donghua Gate. He must come back before the palace gate closes every day. In addition, he cannot ride in a car or sedan chair, and his entourage cannot exceed four people. Every time he enters or exits, he must present his waist badge and be inspected. Be clear and correct..." Qianhu said tirelessly.

"Tsk, tsk, so strict?" Zhu Zhen exclaimed.

"The same is true for your brothers. It's not just for you." The prince smiled and said: "If you have any objections, you can go to your father and raise them. Don't embarrass the people below."

"I'm just talking casually..." Zhu Zhen smiled and rubbed his butt, which still hurt from time to time. I don't dare to see that old thief again!

~~

The carriage continued to drive, and Zhu Biao continued to say to him:

"As for your safety outside the palace, the government army guards will be responsible for it first. Once you have formed your own three guards, I will not care about it."

"Brother, form a bodyguard, and you can continue to take care of me. I don't trust my own people..." After the experience of the trip to Fengyang, His Royal Highness the King of Chu became more life-conscious.

"Haha, you kid, how long do you want to keep Big Brother worrying?" Zhu Biao complained, but still agreed. "But don't run around. You have to learn from Mr. Liu when you leave the palace. You are not allowed to go anywhere except to Liu Junshi Bridge."

"Yes, brother." Zhu Zhen responded hurriedly.

Zhu Biao watched him grow up, but she still didn't know what he was thinking?

"Hey, if you really want to go out to play, you must tell me first. I can send extra manpower to protect your safety. Don't be bothered by missing people or anything like that."

"Yeah, brother, I won't let you worry about it." Lao Liu was extremely well-behaved. "No need to say so much..."

"You brat, do you think I'm annoying? You should worry less." The bullet hit him hard.

~~

The prince's car stopped at Liu Junshi Bridge.

Zhu Biao carefully arranged the instruments for Zhu Zhen before opening the car door.

The palace attendants escorted the two highnesses out of the car.

Liu Lian and Liu Jing had received the news early and were waiting at the door of Uncle Chengyi's house.

Liu Xiang and Liu Li also followed behind to welcome the two highnesses.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but look at her, she was so cute... He quickly looked away, followed his eldest brother and the Liu brothers to greet her.

"Your Highness is here, and my father should have welcomed him in person. I am helpless in bed, so I ask Your Highness to forgive me." Liu Lian said respectfully.

"Hey, there's no need to be polite. Besides, today I'm bringing my sixth brother to be my teacher. How can I let the teacher personally greet me?" The prince said pleasantly:

"I'm really sorry that I bothered Brother Meng Zao to stay at home and delayed your official duties."

Meng Zao is Liu Lian's character.

"Your Highness said that, my eldest brother is really ashamed. He is really looking forward to resting at home for a day." Liu Jing joked from the side.

"Hahaha." The three of them laughed together. While talking, he walked inside.

"Brother Meng Zao has been an official for half a year, are you still used to it?" the prince asked Liu Lian kindly.

"Actually, I'm not used to it." Liu Lian said with a wry smile: "I was wrongly loved by the emperor. I promoted a humble minister from a commoner to an important department such as a merit examiner, and also ordered the minister to examine and supervise the censor. I am really walking on thin ice."

He was directly appointed as the examination supervisor by Boss Zhu in February this year. The merit examination supervisor was only established in February of this year. The supervisor can only reach the seventh rank, and the supervisor can only reach the eighth rank.

Even though the yamen is as big as a needle, its power is terrifying. Any appointment or removal of officials, big or small, by the Ministry of Civil Affairs must be reviewed by the merit examiner before the decision can be made. His position is low and his weight cannot be increased.

"Hey, Brother Meng Zao doesn't need it." The prince smiled and comforted him: "The examination supervisor has a heavy responsibility, and he cannot be appointed unless he is a confidant and a sycophant. You are the most suitable candidate."

After a pause, he smiled again and said, "What's wrong with my background as a commoner? Your supervisor, Hua Keqin, was also a monk from Waguan Temple."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your comfort. I feel much better." Liu Lian thanked him with a smile: "Getting along with the prince is really refreshing."

"Haha, let's get closer from now on." The prince's smile was kind and sincere, and it was really hard not to be heart-wrenching.

~~

Everyone went into the master bedroom in the backyard. Liu Bowen sat on the bed and looked at the prince and King Chu with a smile.

"We've come a long way, Your Highnesses." He cupped his hands and said softly.

"Sir, how are you?" Zhu Biao returned the gesture and sat down on the chair next to the bed. Zhu Zhen stood behind him and looked at Liu Bowen with a smile.

Still alive, really not dead, this king is so powerful...

However, Lao Liu misunderstood and thought that Lao Liu, who was covered in fur and was smarter than a monkey, saw that he was pretending to be sick.

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not deceive Your Highness. In fact, my problem is not serious. It's just a minor illness."

"Oh?" Zhu Biao was stunned, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret, sir."

Then he looked at Zhu Zhen and said, "Lao Liu, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded and curled his lips.

Liu Bowen was helpless, thinking to himself, are you trying to expose my background? Okay, okay, I took the initiative to say, okay? Stop curling your lips, you're so ugly...

"Alas, I don't say secret words in front of Mingren. Your Royal Highness, I don't want to wade into the muddy waters of Zhongdu." Liu Ji explained honestly.

"Sir, it is indeed not suitable to go to Fengyang." Zhu Biao nodded understandingly: "Your health is not good. On the other hand, you were the most opposed to moving the capital at the beginning, and you were the number one thorn in the side of the Huaixi gang. If If you go to Fengyang to take charge, Zhongdu City will explode."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Actually, I still have concerns." Liu Ji whispered again:

"If you push too hard, some people will jump over the wall. Now is not the time for a showdown..."

"Sir, what you said is not wrong at all. Father means the same thing." The prince nodded.

The two of them looked at each other as they spoke, neither of them expecting that the other could say this in front of Lao Liu.

‘It seems that Uncle Chengyi trusts Lao Liu very much. ’ The prince secretly thought.

‘It seems that the prince regards Lao Liu as his confidant. ’ Liu Ji secretly thought.

it is more than words.
