Ning You paused, looked down at He Zhan, and then smiled. He looked exactly like Ning Zuo, and his demeanor was as handsome as Ning Zuo's.

"Uncle Three."

He Zhan led him to sit down in the flower hall, washed his hands in the copper basin, and asked, "Why is the prince here at this time?"

Ning You said angrily: "I went to see my second brother. I heard that the people from the Yulin Army rejected you, so he asked me to apologize to you. Those slaves are all blind!"

He Zhan smiled, sat across from him, and poured him a cup of tea: "It's not a big deal, the Imperial Forest Army also performs their duties. How is King An?"

"Not very good." Ning You's eyes darkened, and he looked a little frustrated, "He was injured because of me, and the imperial doctor said his right leg might be..."

He Zhan shook his hand holding the teacup, the cup fell on the table, and the hot tea poured on He Zhan, which made him dodge back in shock.

Seeing this, Ning You stood up, and He Zhan quickly responded, "It's nothing."

He lifted up the crooked cup, and asked, "Did he hurt his leg!?" He thought that Ning You had only suffered some injuries, and he would recover after taking care of him.Hearing what Ning Zuo said, then... His legs are useless?

Ning You nodded: "He can still walk, Father has already invited the best imperial doctor to treat him."

He Zhan was shocked, and only then did he understand why Ning You didn't want to see people, as if a gust of cool wind had blown his heart, making him stiff from the cold.Fu Shiming lost power, Ning You seemed to have lost his right arm, and now he has lost a leg...

How can a cripple gain a foothold in court?

good.good.It's not a blessing if you lose your horse. Ning You is not a person who likes to fight for power. It doesn't matter if he is lame. Maybe he is the one who can live the longest.

He Zhan said: "Tomorrow I will go and see him."

Ning Youzhi said: "In a few days, Jiang Guo's envoys will come to Beijing. Many difficult problems will come, and I can't handle them alone. My brother can't help me this time. Third uncle, come and help me out." idea."

He Zhan bowed his head and thought for a while, but he was still able to distinguish the priorities. Now that Ning You doesn't want to see anyone, it might not be appropriate for him to go to Prince An's Mansion.He Zhan nodded and said: "Tomorrow, I will accompany you in the palace. Your Highness need not worry too much. Several academicians in the cabinet will help your Highness and the emperor to solve their worries."

Fang Yuexiu is both the prime minister and the head of the cabinet, he will not let Jiang Guo's envoys make things difficult for the crown prince.

Ning You raised the corner of his mouth and touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly: "They have their responsibilities, but when Uncle San comes, I can feel much more at ease."

Ning You spoke a few more words with He Zhan, and when it was getting late, He Zhan urged him to go back to the Prince's Mansion to recharge his batteries.Ning You didn't stay any longer, and before leaving, he told He Zhan that he would come to the palace tomorrow.

He Zhan sent Ning You out of the house, and kept looking at his carriage until it was out of sight.

He Zhan had a faint weird feeling, like a soft silk thread touching his most sensitive nerve, but when he tried to grab it, he couldn't catch anything.

At this time in his previous life, He Zhan was still working hard in Fuqu County to catch the little snitches in the county and strengthen public security so that Jiang Guo's envoys would not think that Jing Guo's thieves were flying all over the sky.He didn't know much about the specific problems Jiang Guo's envoys brought to Yasukuni.

Jiang Guo's envoy had already arrived at Fenglin Pass, and Emperor Jing Zhao had sent someone to investigate the situation first. He had no intention of letting Ning Jin take care of these matters, but only asked him to prepare to deal with Jiang Guo's envoy in the mansion.In the past, King Fengming must have been on one side to help, but because he failed to protect "King An" well before, Emperor Jing Zhao seemed to no longer announce him into the imperial study for discussion, so this matter was all left to the cabinet headed by Fang Yuexiu auxiliary.

In addition, there is He Zhan.

The grand masters in the cabinet couldn't understand this grand master very much.

In their hearts, He Zhan is just a little bastard who plays with cats and dogs. He won the favor of Prince An and the Crown Prince by virtue of his slick words, and because he helped Prince Rui in Yongzhou before, he managed to get along like a fish in water in the court. Not to mention, but I often go to some flower streets and willow alleys, and behave very dissolutely, but such people are the most trusted by the prince.No matter how you look at it, He Zhan is a bad seed of a courtier, so they will always deliberately exclude He Zhan when discussing things.

He Zhan is not in a hurry, if he can listen, he will listen, if he can't, he will really go to the harem to recruit cats and dogs.

Dogs are popular in the palace recently, and He Zhan can always see a black cat with shiny fur fighting with the harem lady's puppy. After two days of watching, he can see that the black cat is simply a good fighter.The body curve is very fit, and the hair is not deliberately taken care of. It should be a wild cat that jumped in from outside the palace.

If the wild cat can mix like this in the palace, it is definitely the king of the party.The entire palace is under its control.

He Zhan teased it for three days, and gave it snacks from the imperial dining room, but it didn't want to, so it loved fish.He Zhan secretly brought the yellow croaker from the mansion into the palace, put it in a basin, and told it to eat for several meals.The cat walked around He Zhan with its tail upright like a master, as if announcing its sovereignty, as if telling the whole palace: "I will cover this man in the future, and no one is allowed to mess with him."

He Zhan had a stomach ache from the cat's laughter, and was about to ask Cao Zhier to tease it again, when someone called from behind: "Uncle Three."

The black cat ran away with a whoosh. He Zhan looked back and saw Ning Zuo walking over. He responded, dropped the grass branch in his hand, and went up to salute.

Ning You looked behind him: "Who is Uncle talking to?"

He Zhan smiled helplessly: "It's just a cat. Your Highness finished the discussion?"

Ning You nodded excitedly, and pointed in the direction of the pavilion: "Shall we go kill one more game?"

"As ordered."

Jiang Guo's envoys will come to Beijing tomorrow, and the message from the other party is that they hope that Emperor Jing Zhao can send someone to meet them.When playing chess, Ning You told He Zhan about this, He Zhan dropped the white chess, sighed and shook his head, "It's quite a big face."

"Because of etiquette, it is true that officials should come to the city gate to welcome them into the palace. It's just this person... the Grand Scholars are very noisy."

"Isn't Honghe Temple in charge of this aspect? If you send the Minister of Honglu Temple, I feel that Jiang Guo is not worthy of such high etiquette as Yasukuni, but Shaoqing is a courageous person. He has also accompanied him on missions before. All countries can let him go."

"Prime Minister Fang feels that he needs to be treated with the highest courtesy in order to show the demeanor of a great country. He prefers me to greet him in person."

He Zhan cursed with a smile: "Fuck him. When did Jiang Guo not come here to play a scoundrel? When will Jiang Guo return Luzhou, and when will he treat him with the highest courtesy."

The conflict between Jiang Guo and Jing Guo lies in the issue of Luzhou. Meng Yuande, the prefect of Luzhou, who is now Xie Jinghong, sold the deployment of Luzhou to Jiang Guo. Such a large area was swallowed up by Jiang Guo. , Now I will never come back.This is a disgrace to Yasukuni, and it is a pain in the heart. Jiang Guo often uses the Luzhou incident to provoke Yasukuni from time to time. According to the words in the market, it is simply extremely annoying.

So, still want Yasukuni to treat him with the highest courtesy?Has Fang Yuexiu read all the sage books to the sages?

Hearing his swear words, Ning You couldn't help laughing out loud: "If uncle said such a thing, the group in the cabinet would be blown away with anger, and maybe the father would throw a book on you."

He Zhan frowned suddenly, looked up at him, and felt a little puzzled in his heart.

Ning Youluo's hand paused, and deliberately landed on the most inconspicuous spot on the chessboard. After a short pause, he suddenly played a rogue: "Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake! Regret the move, regret the move!"

Seeing his joyful expression, He Zhan turned his attention to the chessboard again, this move was still as bad as before, and said: "A gentleman doesn't regret it, but His Highness can't do it all the time. No, how can this happen?"

Ning You picked up the black chess and touched his nose: "I don't care, uncle must let me."

He Zhan patted his forehead, and said distressedly: "At the beginning of the enlightenment, I should have called a good gentleman to teach you. Both of you brothers were brought in by the minister. Why is King An so honest? You have only learned the tricks of the minister." set?"

Ning You giggled: "Getting started, you have to learn the essence of chess."

He Zhan: "..." Very reasonable, speechless.At the beginning, the essence of his chess game was to be a rascal.

He Zhan talked with him about Jiang Guo's mission, and he left the palace at dusk.Because Ning You wanted to go back to the Prince's Mansion, he took a detour and sent He Zhan back to Duke Zhongguo's mansion in person, and waited until he entered the mansion before he closed the curtain, leaning on his soft back alone, and slowly closed his eyes.

It's never been better.

He Zhan could no longer avoid him.

As soon as the Shangyuan Festival came, every household hung up lanterns. Originally, at night, the whole of Kyoto might not necessarily have a few lights on. Now, there are lanterns hanging in front of the houses and shops. If you look over from the peaks and cliffs of Qingfeng Mountain, it looks like the sky. The meteor fell to the ground, inlaid in the sky, bright as a pearl.

The Zhongguo Mansion is no exception. From outside the mansion to inside the mansion, all kinds of lanterns are hung.He Zhan had seen folk lantern festivals in the past, but this year it was no longer possible, but he couldn't stop wanting to play, so he asked someone to make a lantern that rolled away from the rabbit.When the servants saw him returning to the mansion, they specially brought out the rolling rabbit lantern to light the way for him.

He Zhan looked at it a few times and felt like it, so he simply carried it away by himself, looked at the rolling rabbit inside happily, and floated all the way back to Nangezi.

Putting the lantern on the table, servants followed him in and asked him if he wanted to eat.He Zhan had no appetite, so he waved them down. The other end was fiddling with the lantern in his hand. Ning Jin came out from behind the screen like a ghost, and called, "Uncle."

He Zhan was so frightened that he almost crushed the lamp stand, and when he turned around, he saw Ning Jin behind the screen, only half of his body was exposed.He didn't say what he wanted to reprimand, but turned into a hearty smile, and asked, "Why do you do these things of hiding all day long?"

Ning Jin said bitterly, "If uncle is willing, I would like to come in through the main entrance." Since the incident at Wutong Hall, He Zhan has no longer been close to Ning Jin on the surface for the sake of safety, and he is respectful when meeting him outside Calling "Prince Rui", deliberately keeping a distance.

Ning Jin knew what his scruples were, but could it be that the two really didn't meet each other?

He Zhan beckoned him over: "Come on, have a look at my lantern."

Ning Jin walked over to meet him and asked, "Why are you interested in playing this game?"

"It's fun. This is the new look of this year's lantern. Look at the rabbit inside, it's running."

Ning Jin turned his head to look at He Zhan's smiling face, his heart felt hot, he couldn't help kissing his cheek, and said, "It's really pretty." I don't know if he was talking about the lamp or something else.

He Zhan pushed him, and stopped letting him make trouble: "Why are you here tonight?"

"Jiang Guo's envoy will be here tomorrow. I heard that you will also be at the Lantern Festival banquet. Jiang Guo brought a wolf here. I am afraid that you will be injured, so I came here to remind you that you should not go to the Lantern Festival banquet tomorrow."

Jiang Guo was also considered a nomadic people before the country was established. They used wolves as their totems. People in the royal family believed that they had the blood of wolves on their bodies. Has the habit of raising wolves.

Ning Jin was not very interested in Jiang Guo at first, but Ning Zuo insisted on dragging He Zhan into this quagmire. Afraid of any trouble, Ning Jin had to ask the shadow guards to check Jiang Guo's envoys and be fully prepared.

The envoys brought a knee-high snow wolf, and if the wolf was allowed to enter, it would indeed pose a threat to the people present; if the wolf was not allowed to enter, Jiang Guoding would laugh at Emperor Jingguo for being afraid of a beast.

After hearing this, He Zhan didn't feel anything, and just said: "I just said that they are a bunch of rogue bastards. Now that I look at it, isn't it?"

Ning Jin repeated: "Don't go."

"It's just a wolf. There's nothing to be afraid of. There's a way to deal with them." He Zhan got up and hung up the lantern, and glanced out intentionally. The surrounding night was dark, and the coldness passed through the frost forest, and the sweet-scented osmanthus branches in front of his window.

He turned to look at Ning Jin, his eyes were deep, and he said in a steady voice:

"Ning Zuo, there seems to be something wrong."
