After sending Xu Jian away, Eunuch Cao turned around and returned to the imperial court.

 The Holy Spirit picked up the pen to review the excerpts.

Eunuch Cao didn't say anything. He only refilled the tea gently, put away the tea cup used by Xu Jian, lifted the curtain and handed it out, and the tea waiter took it away.

While doing things, Eunuch Cao was thinking.

To be able to say that you are so good at not giving face to the prince is to assist the Duke.

The emperor was not unhappy when he heard this.

 Oh, yes.

 The Duke of Fuguo didn’t even give the Holy Emperor the face.

 Fortunately, these are all matters in daily life, and the Holy Father will not mind. However, it would still be inappropriate if he always refuses to deal with important matters in the court.

 Fortunately, Fu Guogong has become more relaxed recently.

fine.

If the monarch and his ministers always can't agree on an agreement, he will wait on the side and be worried.

 In the other room, Xu Jian walked out along the palace road.

Halfway through the journey, a guard came towards me. He was walking so hurriedly that he was sweating in the cold weather.

 Xu Jian looked at the man.

The other party also saw Xu Jian, bowed hastily, and continued running forward.

Xu Jian saw him going to the royal study and made a rough guess in his mind: the people sent by the Holy One to dig Li Mi's grave in Jiangzhou were back.

As for the results of digging, it is not something he can find out directly by going to the imperial study room now.

 Xu Jian withdrew his gaze and walked all the way out of the Nangong Gate to the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Uncle Cheng Yi now has a casual post in the Hanlin Academy.

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

 “Why is the Duke of the State here?”

Xu Jian arched his hands toward the imperial city and said, "I just came out of the imperial study. Your Majesty asked me to bring a few words to Uncle Chengyi."

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

 Xu Jian thanked him and said: "The Lord has told me what to do, so I have no choice but to go to the uncle's house to look for him."

Hand in hand, the man sent Xu Jian out of the Hanlin Academy.

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

 Officials of Honglu Temple are also taking a rest.

Seeing Xu Jian's figure, I have been unable to say hello since I was young.

There are also those who are not quick-witted and think that Xu Jian came to Honglu Temple to look for Liu Jing. They subconsciously wanted to say "Master Liu, please take a break", but his colleagues with quick eyes and quick hands covered their mouths.

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

 “Aren’t they just father and son?”

“Everyone in the court meeting knows that we had several arguments during the next court, and it’s hard to say what Mr. Liu is thinking. Anyway, Duke Fuguo doesn’t like Mr. Liu, and you actually want to mention it in person..."

Xu Jian still walked forward, leaving behind these comments that he was accustomed to.

By the time they got out of the long street, Shen Chen had already arranged a sedan to wait in front for a while.

“This morning, the He family’s grandma said that she would stew mutton soup for you to ward off the cold.” Shen Chen said as he handed the hand stove he had prepared to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it and said, "If you don't go there now, go directly to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion."

Shen Chen was stunned.

 Where?

The Duke of Guo had already boarded the sedan chair, and the curtain fell down and dangled in front of Shen Chen's eyes.

She was so shaken that she couldn't recover for a while.

 Sincerity’s Mansion? Didn’t he really hear it wrong?

They actually want to go to Uncle Chengyi’s Mansion openly and openly...

As the sedan chair arrived outside the uncle's house, Shen Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Linton took the post and welcomed Xu Jian into the door. Soon, Lin Yu came after hearing the news.

"Uncle," Xu Jian saluted and said, "I am here on the orders of the Holy One."

Lin Yu smiled.

 Whether it is Laoshixiang’s business or his cooperation with Xu Jian around the BRIC, it is all under the water.

On the surface, the relationship between Lin and Xu is just that they are officials in the same court and nod and bow.

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

 The one sent by the Holy Spirit is indeed justified.

Lin Yuan led Xu Jian to the study.

 The way of hospitality requires a few words of introduction when passing by the hall and porch.

 Xu Jian listened very carefully.

Lin Yu saw it in his eyes and said: "The title is different, it should not be as good as the Duke's Palace."

“The popularity is different,” Xu Jian replied, “Since there are many people in Uncle Chengyi’s Mansion, it seems more lively.”

Lin Yu chuckled.

At this time, it is not good to be self-effacing.

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

Xu Jian then mentioned the previous incident: "The ability to catch Wang in the sixth year depends entirely on my uncle's tip. Otherwise, in such a big capital, I really don't know where to find him."

"I just took advantage of a coincidence," Lin Yu said. "The Holy One asked the Duke to come over, but what did the king say in the sixth year?"

Xu Jian avoided the important matter and did not mention the real reason why he was arranged by the Holy Emperor. He only continued to talk about the sixth year of the king's reign.

"The chamberlain is very stubborn. I once tested Eunuch Cao's tone. The king has suffered a lot for six years but refused to explain properly," Xu Jian said, "However, the people who went to Jiangzhou to dig graves came back, and I happened to meet him when I left the palace. I’m following him, but I don’t know what news I’ll bring back.”

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

　　Involving the death of King Ding, all investigations in the imperial study room were started based on this, but the investigation of gold bricks and banned books was dropped.

As long as you don’t let the gold bricks see the light for a year and a half, and then find another gold shop to melt them, it will be safe.

Lin Yue took a sip of tea and said, "Duke Guo, did you say that he was ordered by the Holy Emperor?"

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

"After the court, I followed the Holy Emperor to Cining Palace and met the princess," Xu Jian said. "I heard from the princess that I found out that before we arrived, the prince went to see the empress dowager first, and also brought Liu Xun and Liu Xun to the palace. Even my younger brother took him with me.”

 When he heard that it was related to Lin Yunyan, Lin Yue was extremely careful.

 When the words came to his lips, knowing the relationship between Xu Jian and the Liu family, Lin Yu did not use the term "lingdi": "Prince, do you know him?"

"I shouldn't have recognized him at first. He had been at Anlu Academy and only came back these two days," Xu Jian said. "He had evil intentions and asked the princess to drive him away. He didn't even see the Empress Dowager."

 Lin Yue:…

How could Yun Yan lose such a temper in Cining Palace?

How much offense did Liu Xun have to have to end up like this?

Xu Jian saw Lin Yu frowning, thought for a while, and said: "The Holy One didn't know that I knew the princess, so he wanted to match me, so he called me to Cining Palace."

 Suddenly, Lin Yan's brows frowned even more tightly.

 The word "match" is very striking.

"Uncle, there is no need to be so nervous," Xu Jian not only dared to say, but also dared to say it all the way to the end, "The Queen Mother will most likely not agree to the wishful thinking of the Holy One, so there is no need for you to say no.

But it is also convenient for me. I just take this opportunity to visit my uncle's house, so that no one will think of my previous contacts.

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