After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

On the second day, the gifts to be given to the officials will begin to be distributed.

The purpose of giving gifts is to have a legitimate excuse to deal with the officials here.

Because King Wei wanted to give Yeluhan a big gift, but he didn't want others to know about it, especially Jiang Chen.

In order to distract Jiang Chen, he arranged for him to bring a few envoys to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. Anyway, he and the Prime Minister also had interactions.

His arrangement played into Jiang Chen's plan.

He was originally afraid that King Wei would go with him. This way the troops would be divided into two groups, which would save him the embarrassment of meeting Yeluhan again.

Jiang Chen rode on horseback, holding the post, and a group of entourage and gifts, and headed straight towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Zhou enthusiastically let them into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jiang Chen took out the gift list and the notice of visit, handed them to Prime Minister Zhou and said:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is a gift prepared by me for the Prime Minister. Please take a look at it."

The Prime Minister took the gift list and post from Jiang Chen and said to him with a smile on his face:

"Master Jiang, since these gifts have been brought to me, I feel ashamed to accept them. When you return to China, thank the emperor of your country for me. I will definitely work to stabilize the diplomatic relations between the two countries and let us and the Xuanwu Dynasty live for a hundred years. Make good friends."

After talking for a while, the Prime Minister suddenly said to Jiang Chen:

"I heard that Mr. Jiang is your country's new top scholar this year. I think his talent and knowledge must be better than ordinary people. I got a new ancient book. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm ashamed that there are many questions in it that I can't solve. I don't know if I can ask you for advice. Here’s this erudite champion.”

Jiang Chen quickly said to the Prime Minister:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you are so polite. I am very curious as to what kind of ancient book you have obtained. I'm afraid I can't even decipher it for you."

The prime minister stood up, asked his subordinates to entertain the accompanying officials who came with Jiang Chen, and took Jiang Chen into his study.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered, the Prime Minister closed the study door. He anxiously grabbed Jiang Chen and said:

"Master Jiang, what did you mean by what you said to me last night? How did you know Fan Yao's situation?"

Jiang Chen looked at his anxious look and said to him:

"Prime Minister, this is a long story. I met Fan Yao when he first came to our Xuanwu Dynasty last year. When I met him, he was on the street and was being chased by killers. At that time, he He was seriously injured, and it was I who rescued him at home for treatment. Since then, we have become friends who talk to each other about everything. The last time he was brought back to the North by Chen Ming, I accompanied him back. He When his whole family was massacred, I happened to be with him at the time."

The Prime Minister hurriedly said to Jiang Chen:

"Master Jiang, on behalf of the Emperor, I would like to thank you for your kindness in rescuing Fan Yao. The Emperor has been thinking about his safety. He has also sent people everywhere to look for him, but there is no news about him. It is all because of my failure to protect him. Under my eyes, I watched him being robbed and killed, but I couldn't help him escape."

Jiang Chen said to him:

"Prime Minister, there is no need to blame yourself. Since the person who wanted to kill him was determined to put him to death, he had already prepared it. How could he let you have the ability to fight back? Fortunately, Fan Yao's order was not rejected, and Chen Mingzhong protected his master, and fortunately he was brought to the Xuanwu Dynasty. This was also a great blessing among misfortunes, and he finally saved his life."

"Jiang Chen, tell me quickly where Fan Yao is now. I want to see him right away."

Jiang Chen looked at Prime Minister Zhou in front of him and said to him:

"Sir, since I have told you the news about Jiang Chen, I am here to seek your help. When Fan Yao came back this time, he was still surrounded by dangers. Just the day before yesterday, he had just returned home to worship his mother, and he was attacked by more than a dozen people again. The killers were besieging me. Fortunately, I got there in time, otherwise Fan Yao would have been murdered again just after he came back. So, what are the Prime Minister's plans to do with Fan Yao this time?"

Prime Minister Zhou thought for a moment, and then said to Jiang Chen:

"I will go into the palace immediately and tell the emperor about Fan Yao's situation first. I believe that the emperor will definitely make a decision that is beneficial to Fan Yao. If he stays outside the palace for an hour longer, he will be more dangerous."

Jiang Chen nodded and said:

"Prime Minister, go and discuss with the emperor first to see how to arrange Fan Yao. Tell me as soon as possible when there is news. He is in danger every moment now. I am afraid that people who want to harm him will try their best to find him. .”

After sending Jiang Chen away, the Prime Minister ordered someone to prepare a car, and he rushed to the palace without stopping to tell the emperor about Fan Yao's return.

Because such a major matter related to the inheritance of the country, he also wanted to ask the emperor for his decision.

When he arrived at the Emperor's Yangxin Hall, the eunuch in the palace told him that the Queen was inside and asked him to wait outside.

In the palace at this time, the emperor was resting on the dragon bed with his eyes closed. Beside him, the Queen was sitting, and she was heard saying to the Emperor:

"Your Majesty, the position of the Crown Prince cannot be idle for a long time. If our Emperor was still alive, I would not worry about such things. Who said that our Emperor would be unlucky and leave the throne before he can inherit the throne? Let’s go first.”

After saying that, she glanced at the emperor who closed his eyes and leaned motionless on the bed, not answering his words at all.

She continued to say to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, are you listening to what I am saying? I am discussing with Your Majesty the important matters of the country, the country, and the country. You must answer me."
