Ah Jiu's mind is always a little hard to turn around. If it wasn't for Chen Heng's reminder, maybe she would have gone to ask Uncle Huang.
She thought about it calmly, and on the way back, she dragged Wen Xiangxiang into the carriage. After all, now that the situation is over, the only person she can trust is Wen Xiangxiang.
She didn't know why the uncle was hiding the epidemic from her. When she thought about it in her mind, she was either afraid that the imperial capital would panic and suppress the epidemic, or she wanted to expand the influence of this incident to achieve some of his goals.
Ah Jiu felt a headache just thinking about it. She usually dislikes these battles for fame and fortune, but now that she is an emperor, even if she doesn't like it, she can't retreat.
According to her current thinking, the only person she can trust is Wen Xiangxiang. She told Wen Xiangxiang about this in the carriage, and Wen Xiangxiang immediately changed his face and asked about the situation several times.
"Wen Xiangxiang, the widow ordered you to secretly go to the Mo Family Courtyard on the outskirts of the city to investigate the situation." Ah Jiu said after a pause, "But you are not allowed to tell Elder Fengge Cheng before the matter is settled, you can only listen to this matter. My orders alone, wait for my orders, and don't act rashly."
Wen Xiangxiang rubbed his chin and looked at Ah Jiu thoughtfully, "Do you want to protect Fu Yan?"
Hearing that, Ah Jiu pushed him, "Before we get to the bottom of the matter, we don't know the ultimate purpose of the uncle, so we need to find out."
"It's better if you don't cover up." Wen Xiangxiang shouted outside through the car curtain, "Stop on the side of the road." Then he turned around and said to A Jiu seriously, "Take Fu Yan's business. I still have to do it, if there is something wrong with me during the investigation, you will drag the uncle and not let him go."
The carriage had just stopped, and Wen Xiangxiang lifted the curtain and went out. After several times, he suspected A Jiu's cover-up behavior. In the end, A Jiu had no choice but to kick him out of the carriage.
Ah Jiu is actually a little selfish towards Uncle Huang. She knows that the power of the government is now in Fu Yan's hands, and even more than half of the officials in the court are on Fu Yan's side, so she doesn't understand Fu Yan's purpose.
She began to shake her own belief that she would show you that Fu Yan was still handling this memorial before the imperial case. The serious look made A Jiudu moved a bit. After thinking for a while, she decided to go to Fengge to find Cheng. old.
What she wanted to confirm with Cheng Lao was Chen Heng.
Although Chen Heng was her cousin, she didn't have much contact with this cousin after all. The only time was after the election of the new minister. She had never seen him, but only had a glimpse of him.
She doesn't know Chen Heng, but it's not that she doesn't believe it, she just wants to make a complete plan. After all, the power of the uncle is not easy to take. Once the uncle is angered, she may not know how long she can keep her life. .
The next day, she sighed several times and went to Feng Pavilion.
This is a magnificent palace. It exists only for the Empress. It has existed for more than a hundred years since ancient times, but only two dynasties were really used. Nine this generation.
It has been a hundred years in the middle, but no one has been able to ignore its existence in the past hundred years.
The original female emperor established the Phoenix Pavilion to maintain the phoenix power of the female emperors in the future. After several generations of male emperors, when A Jiuli became the heir, the previous emperor had been cultivating the Phoenix Pavilion.
Fengge is composed of ten ministers, who are responsible for most of the operation of the entire imperial palace. The important decisions of the empress are basically notified to Fengge, and Fengge will draft the decision. If more than half of the votes pass, it can be implemented. Seven ministers have been trained, but there are only four or five people who are Fu Yan.
Today, Ah Jiu's Fengge is no longer what it used to be. Although there are seven ministers, most of them are held by Fu Yan. There are only two or three who really stand on Ah Jiu's side. Every time Ah Jiu thinks of this, he feels heartbroken. , even Fengge can be intervened by Fu Yan. Could it be that the Chen family's Jiangshan will change her surname to Fu
Do not! She wouldn't let this happen!
She entered the Phoenix Pavilion, the operation of the central machine, everyone has an important role, and it takes a great deal of ability to enter the Phoenix Pavilion.
A Jiu stood at the door of the hall for a while, but no one came to greet her. As an emperor, how hurt the emperor is, there is no way, this is Fengge, a role more important than the emperor.
A Jiu went straight to Cheng Lao's residence in a dejected manner. On the way, many apprentices trained by Cheng Lao all hunched over and shouted to His Majesty, which made A Jiu regain his lost confidence.
But it was unfortunate that Ah Jiu came, so Cheng Lao went out a moment before her.
She just sat at Old Cheng's place, and Xiao Dezi served Ah Jiu a pot of tea following the servants' wait.
Ajiu held the teacup and turned around, looking at the many tea leaves floating in the cup, "Xiao Dezi, you said that Mr. Cheng does not go out in Fengge on weekdays, so why did he go out today?"
"Go back to your majesty, the servant doesn't know the reason why Mr. Cheng went out, but the servant knows that after the majesty has finished drinking Mr. Cheng's tongue, Mr. Cheng will rush back wherever he is." Xiao Dezi lowered his head and said.
Ah Jiu raised her eyebrows, "What a really bad slave."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."
Que tongue tea is Cheng Lao's favorite, but Zheng Guo does not have it. It can only be obtained in the northwest. Therefore, the Que tongue obtained by exchanging commodities with the northwest country in previous years was rewarded to Cheng Lao, and Cheng Lao loved it as much Life.
In the past, when Ah was ninety years old, he came to Cheng Lao’s place to pick up the bird’s tongue that was collected by Cheng Lao. Who knew that the bird’s tongue not only brewed tea and overflowed his mouth, but also tasted crisp and delicious when eaten dry, so Ah Jiu was stunned. He chewed his tongue and ate a lot, and the servant on the side was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shivered, and he murmured, "Elder Cheng will kill me. Elder Cheng will kill me."
Hearing that, Ah Jiu was stunned.
When Cheng Lao came back, he did almost kill her, and Cheng Lao was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot while holding the jar of Que Tong.
Old Cheng must respect even Ah Jiu's father, not to mention Ah Jiu.
The first emperor persuaded Elder Cheng for a long time, promising that Elder Cheng would not allow Ah Jiu to enter or leave her residence, and that all the tongues of Ah Jiu when he was emperor would be dedicated to Elder Cheng, and the matter was settled.
Ajiu finds it funny to think about it now. There are not many tongues this year. Xiao Dezi, a servant, grabbed a lot of tea and made tea, but it didn't hurt Cheng Lao's heart.
From the moment Xiaodezi grabbed Que Tong, I was afraid that someone would report to Elder Cheng. As expected, as A Jiu had just drank the second sip, Elder Cheng rushed back in a hurry.
"Not filial to Chongyi, not filial to Chongyi!" Cheng Lao immediately took away the teapot that was still in front of Ah Jiu, along with the teacup in Ah Jiu's hand.
Ah Jiu smiled, "Elder Cheng doesn't entertain me, I'll just myself..." The rest of the words, Ah Jiu swallowed back when she saw the figure at the door.
Ah Jiu really didn't understand how Old Cheng and Fu Yan got together.
Cheng Lao did not let A Jiu in and out of his place, but he brought Fu Yan over, and A Jiu was stunned.
It wasn't until Fu Yan called His Majesty that Ah Jiu calmed down and called Uncle Huang.
Originally, Ah Jiu was talking to Mr. Cheng, but now it has become Mr. Cheng, and with Fu Yan, Ah Jiu couldn't figure it out. In the impression, Mr. Cheng basically communicated with Mr. Fu, but now he is standing with Mr. Fu Yan. Here, I really don't know how charming her uncle is, and she can attract Cheng Lao.
"A-Jiu is not allowed to come to my place in the future and touch my tongue." Senior Cheng held the teapot in his arms and sat far away from A-Jiu.
"Yan'er always thought that the good temperament of Cheng Lao's love of tea is really valuable now." Fu Yan greeted him with a smile.
Ah Jiu was stunned, Yan'er! What is this name? The so-called shameless, the uncle is really the first.
"King Huai Jin made fun of him, and even in his 70s and 80s, he just thinks it's great to be able to love a cup of tea." Cheng Lao heaved a sigh of relief and poured Fu Yan a cup of tea while holding the teapot in his arms. .
With just such a sentence, she bought Old Cheng. She secretly pinched her thigh, hoping that all she saw was a dream, but she was disappointed.
"If you like tea, you must have good tea to drink. This Que Tong can be regarded as the king of tea." Ah Jiu turned over a tea cup and brought it to Mr. Cheng. He blinked and signaled Mr. Cheng to pour a cup, but Mr. Cheng turned Turn around, stay away.
A Jiu's hand was in the air, and Fu Yan was smiling. A Jiu felt that the king's face was gone.
Fu Yan took out the teacup in her hand and handed it to Elder Cheng.
"Elder Cheng, Yan'er doesn't know much about some political affairs. I wonder if Mr. Cheng can teach me?" Fu Yan shook the teacup.
Then Ah Jiu was stunned again, Cheng Lao actually poured him tea!
When Fu Yan brought the tea to Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu lamented why people are so different from people.
She sat at Mr. Cheng's place for an afternoon, and after listening to Mr. Cheng's talk with Fu Yan about the Four Books and Five Classics, she even discussed the current atmosphere of the imperial capital, completely ignoring her, His Majesty, who was still on the side.
It wasn't until Mr. Cheng had finished drinking a pot of tea before he left that he remembered that there was such a Jiu beside him.
"I don't know, what's the matter with Ah Jiu Lai Feng Pavilion?" Cheng Lao stretched his waist.
Ah Jiu lay on the table and thought about it for a while before she remembered, and she swung her numb legs, "Elder Cheng, Ah Jiu wants to ask, what do you think of my uncle's son Chen Heng?"
Cheng Lao paused, and seemed to think for a long time before he remembered, "Ziheng..."
Prince Dun once thought that Chen Heng was a passable talent, so after discussing with Du Ying, he sent six-year-old Chen Heng to study at Old Cheng's place for a year. He was named Ziheng and accompanied by Old Cheng. That's why Ah Jiu. Will directly come to Cheng Lao's reason.
She sat up straight and looked at Cheng Lao who was caught in the memory.
Fu Yan on the side asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about the little prince? I heard that this little prince was injured a little yesterday? What do you think when your majesty went down to see it?"
An unreasonable sentence interrupted Old Cheng's memory. Ah Jiu glanced at Fu Yan, "Yes! Yesterday I went to the palace, but Prince Dun didn't let me go in."
"Elder Cheng will also visit your student, which means that this student must be very good!" Ah Jiu continued, she finally brought the topic back.
"Ziheng is good or not. The Four Books and Five Classics and the Annotations are all incomprehensible, but he doesn't like talking to other people very much. He has a cold temper and loves to hurt others." Cheng Lao continued to talk.
Ah Jiu nodded, leaned on the table and asked, "What about human beings? How about human beings? Can they do some illegitimate things? Like lying?"
Cheng Lao was stunned by Ah Jiu's question, rubbing his short beard, "You don't usually mention Ziheng, but now you only have to look at the palace and ask so many things. Heng lied to you, hurt?"
"..." Ajiu paused and found that the uncle next to her had the same expression. She herself was a person who couldn't hide her words. Guilty smiled.
"Uh, huh! The widow just asked! Prince Dun attaches great importance to his son, and the widow also thinks about whether he can be a half-officer, so that he can live up to his youthful talents."
She really didn't want to let him down on his youthful talent. In this huge imperial capital, all the slightly talented children were called by Fu Yan to the palace one by one. That's why I heard that Fu Yan prefers the same sex.
It is said that the day before Chen Heng contracted the epidemic, that is, the day before she heard that the little prince was hit on the right arm by a broken stone in the chest, Fu Yan was about to call Chen Heng to his palace. Knowing that something like this happened, Fu Yan could only give up.
Ah Jiu thought that if she could serve as an official in Chen Heng, at least she would have another available talent on her side, not to mention that this little prince always thought that Fu Yan was a big traitor.
After hearing this, Mr. Cheng gave Ajiu an admiring smile, "It's rare that you have this kind of heart, Ziheng is not a liar, but I advise Ajiu to think twice about the job."
"Why?" A Jiu was about to ask clearly, but was grabbed by Fu Yan.
Ah Jiu tilted his head to look at him, he smiled, "Elder Cheng is getting old and tired today, why doesn't Ah Jiu let Elder Cheng rest?"
"… "
"Hey! Yan'er still has the mind of respecting the elderly. Unlike you, you are a little hairy who wastes so much of my tongue. You can give me all the tongues that come from the northwest." Calling someone to blast A Jiu and Fu Yan out.
