The invitation sent by Chen Zhong to Shu Qingsi's mansion was delivered by the housekeeper himself.Shu Qingsi took the invitation and didn't pay much attention to it.It's just a glass of wine, Chen Zhong has no real power now, even if he goes, His Majesty probably won't care.

Shu Qingsi's wife couldn't make up her mind, and asked him, "Master, the ninth day of the next month... Shall we go?"

Shu Qingsi asked, "How is mother?"

"It's getting better these days, I'm eating more, and I'm more energetic."

"That's good." Shu Qingsi nodded, "Then let's go."

Thanks to the jade green grass he sent, the old matriarch's health improved, and this kindness must always be repaid.Besides, it was just a birthday banquet, as long as he didn't make excessive demands, it wouldn't be a problem.

There was a light rain in the morning of the ninth day.

It was the spring rain season, and the continuous and slightly gloomy rain fell like thin threads, covering the whole Qicheng in misty rain.All the officials were in a good mood in Changhong Palace.

As the so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil, this rain can be regarded as the official prelude to spring planting.Now that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, there is no war or natural disaster, how can we not make them happy?

"Your Majesty is here—"

Chu Yuchen was also in a good mood, holding Alai to court today, Alai was obediently held in her arms, and he didn't struggle seeing so many people.

"See Your Majesty."

The sound of the courtiers saluting made A Lai frighten, he pricked up his ears and looked down vigilantly, then lay down in Chu Yuchen's arms with peace of mind.Chu Yuchen waved his hand, "Get up, everyone."

There was no major event at the court meeting, and it was like this for the past few days. Chu Yuchen heard some things, and after half an hour, he found that everyone had nothing to say, so he thought about it and said, "I have an idea now."

"I think the time for the court meeting can be changed."

All the ministers became energetic all of a sudden, and someone objected immediately, "Your Majesty, be careful, this court was decided by the ancestors, how can it be changed?"

Chu Yuchen leaned on the back of the throne, stroking Alai's soft hair with his hand, "It's just that it's time to change, it's not impossible. The rules set by the ancestors are because there were many political affairs in the founding of the country, and now the country has entered a new era. If you are on the right track, I face you every day, and report to you for nothing, what's the point?"

Chu Yuchen never told Liu Feiran about this idea, it can be seen that Liu Feiran also had a thoughtful look on his face.Chu Yuchen struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Political affairs are heavy. Since the early morning court that day, but now the world is peaceful, instead of wasting time like this, let everyone go directly to the government office."

Chu Yuchen also came up with a temporary idea, but the more he talked about it, the more feasible he felt, "How about a meeting every three days? If it's an important matter, you can give me a note. If it's just a trivial matter, you can wait for the meeting." Then we can discuss it."

Seeing the courtiers hesitate, Chu Yuchen said: "It's all right if I'm still young, and it's not a problem to get up at the fifth watch, but among the officials, there are always some who are of a certain age. It is hard to avoid going to court at this time every day. It’s a little bit more. It’s better to let everyone sleep for an extra hour, and go directly to the government office for o’clock.”

"This……"

The courtiers are moved, after all, this is really a good thing for them.No one wants to wait in front of the palace gate in the dark every day, especially in this kind of cold weather, if one is not careful, he will catch a cold.

As for the one who should have objected... Zhang Song, Chu Yuchen found an excuse to sort out the paperwork, and broke away from the Chaohui team again.

Chu Yuchen patted his thigh, "That's how it is, the next court meeting in three days' time, let's do it like this today."

Xiao Kezi came out at the right time, "Back to court——"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The courtiers talked a lot, but many of them were happy.Chen Zhongben was walking with a group of military officials, and suddenly walked up to Shu Qingsi, "Master Shu."

"General Chen."

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "It's the end of today's birthday, Lord Uncle must come."

Shu Qingsi laughed, "I will be there on time."

Some people who didn't know the news knew that Shu Qingsi would also go to Chen Zhong's birthday banquet.Who is Shu Qingsi?He is a ruthless person who failed to compete with Liu Feiran for the position of prime minister and was promoted.It can be said that apart from Jiang Ziliu, who was trained by His Majesty, Shu Qingsi is the most important minister of His Majesty.

Although Liu Feiran was favored, her personality and the situation in the mansion meant that she could not get along well with the courtiers.The courtiers get along not only with the court, but also with the two families.You married your daughter, and I married your daughter-in-law. Everything in the backyard is a way of getting along.It is a change in the direction of the court and another manifestation of the relationship between courtiers.

But Liu Feiran was not married, and there was only the old lady in the mansion, but the old lady hardly participated in any banquets, she was an existence outside the courtier relationship.Such a situation is good, because His Majesty is at ease, but bad, if His Majesty changes his mind and the Liu Mansion falls into the mud, no one will be able to make a profit.But Shuqingsi is different, the relationship between his mansion is intricate, which is the standard embodiment of the old ministers.

Such a minister won the hearts of the courtiers.So some uninformed ministers were immediately moved when they heard that Shu Qingsi would go to the banquet.Even if they drink in the front hall, they can't get along with each other, but when their wife is in the backyard, who can say whether they will get along with the uncle's family?All of a sudden, everyone had a new plan.

Chen Zhong laughed loudly, "Then thank you, Lord Uncle, for your kindness."

All the officials dispersed, Liu Feiran left the palace as usual after finishing the lesson for Chu Jing.On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sedan chair that was shaking rhythmically stopped suddenly.Liu Feiran lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What's going on?"

"There were two men in front who were arguing."

Liu Feiran looked over there, and saw two men choking each other.Both of them were wearing common clothes, and there were two baskets of radishes scattered on the ground, they looked like ordinary people.

"Apologize to me!"

"You hit me, why do you apologize?!"

"You knocked all my radishes on the ground. I want to sell these. They are all dirty. You walk without eyes?!" The man with fierce eyebrows grabbed the collar of another man viciously.

The other man had small eyes, and his expression was slightly dodgy, as if he was making a mistake, "Obviously you bumped into me, and I even fell, what's the matter?!"

Liu Feiran looked at the man's clothes, it was really dirty.

The vicious man was furious, "You are the one who walks without looking at the road and protects something in your arms! What is this thing in your arms? Ah?!"

He grabbed the things in the arms of the small-eyed man, and the small-eyed man turned pale with shock, "Stop!"

But the vicious man was stronger than him, so he snatched it up and threw it away, only to find that it was a small stack of papers, and after throwing it out, there were words written on it, but they couldn't see clearly.

"What is written here?" The vicious man was suspiciously picking up a piece of paper to read, and saw the small-eyed man turned pale, and slammed into him hard, knocking him down!

The small-eyed man took this opportunity to quickly pick up the rain-soaked papers on the ground, accidentally raised his head and saw Liu Feiran, his visible pupils shrank, he closed his hands, put away all the papers, and fled in a hurry.

Liu Feiran didn't want to be nosy at first, but at the last glance, the man's behavior was too weird, which made Liu Feiran's heart ring loudly.

Seeing that the man with small eyes was about to disappear, Liu Feiran had no time to hesitate, and rushed down, "Stop!"

The small-eyed man glanced back hastily, staggered, almost fell, a piece of paper jumped out of his arms, he didn't dare to pick it up, and ran even faster.

Liu Feiran caught up, picked up the paper on the ground, saw clearly what was written on it, his pupils shrank suddenly, because it was an article accusing Chu Yuchen of being unjust, and should abdicate the throne to Chu Jing.

This article wrote several of Chu Yuchen's crimes. For example, the matter of Yucheng at that time was because Chu Yuchen, the emperor, did not investigate.Furthermore, the throne originally belonged to Chu Jing's lineage. The first emperor's ascension to the throne meant that he had snatched Chu Jing's throne, and Chu Jing is not too young now, so Chu Yuchen should abdicate.

Someone even made an argument with this!

Liu Feiran felt murderous in her heart, she grabbed the paper and rushed forward, trying to catch that man.

"Liu Xiang! Liu Xiang!" The groom ran behind, anxious, "Dangerous, Liu Xiang!"

It happened that Pan Ruoyan was passing by this street and stopped the carriage when she heard someone called Liu Feiran. She recognized the driver and asked, "What happened?"

The coachman stomped his feet anxiously, "Oh! Miss suddenly chased someone away!"

Pan Ruoyan's expression changed immediately, "You wait here and don't run around, I'll go in and have a look."

After finishing speaking, she urged the coachman to drive the carriage and chased after him.

The man ran very fast, in the haze of mist and rain, Liu Feiran could barely press behind him, and after running a distance of one street, Liu Feiran stopped suddenly.

Something is wrong, why is it such a coincidence that someone appeared in front of me and let me discover this matter?

Liu Feiran's pupils shrank slightly, and immediately turned around and ran away.

Sure enough, following Liu Feiran's U-turn, there were footsteps over there immediately.Liu Feiran was about to turn around, when she suddenly felt danger coming, she suddenly turned away, and saw a hidden weapon passing by her side!

Liu Feiran seldom passes by this area, and it's not the residence of a big family.They are all private houses, and they are all silent at this time, as if no one has ever lived in them.

Liu Feiran glanced back hastily, and there were nearly ten black-clothed men chasing after him. Their speed of performing lightness kung fu was comparable to his own, and they were all obviously good players.Liu Feiran didn't dare to fight, if she was surrounded, she might not be able to retreat safely.

But at this time, a man in black suddenly appeared in the private house, and the sword directly greeted Liu Feiran's heart!

Liu Feiran turned over, dodged the sword, swept her long legs, and kicked those who were coming, she moved forward without hesitation.However, with this procrastination, the man in black behind was about to catch up.

But at this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded from far to near, and a carriage rushed over, the driver was in front, Pan Ruoyan was behind, and the door curtain was raised, "Liu Xiang!"

Both sides were very fast, Liu Feiran only rushed forward for a certain distance, and the carriage arrived.Pan Ruoyan stretched out his hand and shouted, "Come up quickly!"

Liu Feiran didn't have time to think, reached out to hold Pan Ruoyan's hand, jumped, Pan Ruoyan pulled, Liu Feiran directly rushed into the carriage.

Suddenly entering a darker space from a bright place, Liu Feiran felt uncomfortable for a moment, when she turned around, her face was facing Pan Ruoyan's direction, suddenly a burst of white powder fell on Liu Feiran's face!

Liu Feiran's pupils shrank subconsciously, and immediately held his breath, but he still sucked in some.She was shocked and puzzled in her mind, why did this happen?

However, she couldn't think about it because she had passed out.
