The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister

There have been swallows returning to build nests with mud in their mouths.

Although it is March in Yangchun, the capital is in the north after all, so the clothes should not be too thin.Naturally, Yu Zhuo didn't restrict himself to these things, and took Xia Houzhan and Su Shixue to visit several families of lost people, but it was a pity that they gained little.

"Shopkeeper, is there a seat upstairs?" Near noon, Yu Zhuo took them to a small restaurant built under an old tree, and greeted the shopkeeper familiarly.

"Master Yu, you are here, the old place is reserved for you." The shopkeeper hurriedly called a fourteen or fifteen-year-old guy, and greeted the three of them into the private room on the second floor.

"Why didn't you see your brother today?" Yu Zhuo asked after sitting down.

This little boy is called A Que, and he is lonely and helpless. The shopkeeper is his relative and took him in.On weekdays, Ah Que brought his younger brother to the restaurant. He was born in a beautiful fashion, and he was not noisy.

"Human traffickers have been raging fiercely in the past two months, and there are so many people for meals, how dare I let Ah Bao come out." Aque said, "Master Yu, please order quickly."

"The dishes follow the usual practice. My friend likes some dishes from Sichuan and Hunan—Mr. Su, how about you?"

Su Shixue shook her head, meaning it was fine to let them choose.

After Ah Que left, Yu Zhuo said: "Don't look at this restaurant as small, but the taste of the dishes is top-notch, no worse than the chefs in the Imperial Dining Room."

"I don't believe it." Xia Houzhan said suddenly, with a little rouge on the corners of his brows and eyes. Looking at it this way, it was full of charm. Yu Zhuo was startled, and then smiled lightly, trying to cover up his strangeness.

As expected of the Queen Mother Yan's son, in terms of appearance, he is naturally not much different.

"The dishes are here." A Que first served two plates of vegetables, and the rest came one after another. After the dishes were ready, Yu Zhuo asked casually: "Are there many foreigners recently?"

"Not many, those faces are the ones who do business," Aque said.

After Ah Que left, the three of them were completely silent.Yu Zhuo knew that these two people were unsmiling people, and even he himself didn't have the energy to liven up the atmosphere, so he had to give up.

When paying the bill, Yu Zhuo took out a thin book from his sleeve and said, "Take it back to your brother." A Que took it and thanked her repeatedly.

Xia Houzhan cast a questioning look at him.

"Some enlightenment readings, Po is a smart kid."

"If everyone is like Hengqing and loves the people like a son, it will be a blessing for my Jingchao." Xia Houzhan said.

This "love the people like a son" cannot be boasted indiscriminately, especially when the emperor praises his subjects, it is more or less dissatisfied.Yu Zhuo took a deep breath and said with pain, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words and deeds."

Just as he was about to ask why, a few people happened to walk upstairs, so he had no choice but to shut up.

"Hey, this little beauty looks really good." The middle-aged man in the lead said, and scrutinized Xia Houzhan with his gaze.

Seeing this, Su Shixue's eyes froze, and she pressed the soft sword on her waist.Yu Zhuo hurriedly stopped him and asked, "This...uncle, what do you think of my younger brother?"

"Yo, this one is not bad, but it's a bit too high."

Taking off the newly made folding fan at his waist, Yu Zhuo knocked on the handrail on the stairs and shouted: "Shopkeeper, a customer has gone to the wrong door, hurry up and send it to Wanying Pavilion."

The shopkeeper took a look, and hurriedly said, "Master Yu, ouch, isn't this Lord Qian? What's wrong?"

"You kid, are you looking for a fight?"

"Farewell." Yu Zhuo hurried away with the people, if he didn't leave, this "Master Qian" would be in bad luck.After all, they are old acquaintances, so it's not good for business.

Master Qian didn't want to forgive him yet, the shopkeeper's feeling pulled him back, and said, "Master Qian, please don't offend Mr. Yu."

"Master Yu, what kind of adult can I meet in this small place?"

"Oh, it's a small place. Grandpa, Grandpa, think about how many people in the capital named Yu can you think of? Yu Meiren's Yu." The shopkeeper pulled him into a small private room and asked.

"Yu..." Master Qian stared wide-eyed, "Was that man wearing white clothes just now?"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh my god, it's over!"

Once back in the mansion, Su Shixue saluted as soon as Yu Zhuo sat down, and asked, "Why did Prime Minister Zuo prevent you from being dismissed?"

"It's just a local ruffian. If something happens, everyone in the restaurant will be implicated." Yu Zhuo patted Xia Houzhan and said to him, "Like your master, but he listens to advice. "

"The lower officials have been taught."

Unexpectedly, Xia Houzhan asked Yu Zhuo, "Where is Wanying Pavilion?"

"Good question!" Yu Zhuo blinked and said, "Jianguan Yingyu is slippery at the bottom, and Youyan Spring is difficult under the ice—it's a place to listen to ditties."

"Hengqing, officials of the Jing Dynasty expressly forbid sex with prostitutes." Xia Houzhan stared at him very seriously and said.

Regarding the two or three matters between himself and the sisters in Wanying Pavilion, Yu Zhuo still had to think about how to cover up. He couldn't just say: Your Majesty, your salary is limited, so I have to write poems and music for Qiu Niang.

"I'm here to investigate the case." Yu Zhuo can just think about it, and then said, "Human trafficking is only for profit. Isn't Qinlou and Chuguan a big customer?"

"It does make some sense, but in this way, most of the buyers and sellers should be women, but in fact, there are not a few men and women in the trend cases."

Unfolding the fan, Yu Zhuo suddenly smiled ambiguously: "Did your majesty have no idea when he bestowed these young men on the court?"

Looking at it again, Xia Houzhan's face was slightly reddened, but it was a pity that the Cup of Disguise had covered it up a bit, so he couldn't see clearly.Thinking of this, Yu Zhuo felt regretful.

"Zhen will order the dark guards to investigate." Xia Houzhan quickly changed the subject.

The number of hidden guards was always limited, and Xia Houzhan was suffering from the lack of trustworthy manpower, so he wanted to promote some more.After all, the current power ministers are in command of civilian officials, while military commanders are outside.The Wang family is useless, and the Su family has few heirs, just his teacher and his adopted son are far from enough.

While thinking about this matter, while reading the memorial, what could have been read in an hour or two was dragged on for almost an afternoon, but fortunately, it was all trivial matters.

"I want to set up a subordinate, directly subordinate to me, and everything will be under my control. It is best to choose from young children with clean backgrounds."

After hearing this, Yu Zhuo was not surprised at all, nodded, looked at the Chunlan pot placed by the window, and waited for him to continue.

"After all, the dark guard is just a dark guard. He has no name and no distinction. He can't do many things. It's better that the people under this department can reduce the cumbersome process and act directly."

"There can't be too many people, otherwise, if there are middle-level officials who deceive the superiors and inferiors, they may be shoddy." Yu Zhuo took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote a draft, and Xia Houzhan calmed down a little after hearing his words , really cannot be careless.

During dinner, Xia Yubing came to knock on the door, and the person who called him in was Xia Houzhan, he was flattered.

It can't be said that Xia Houzhan was extremely taciturn, he just didn't dare to speak casually.It's too cold to be high, let alone the former prince, who is as high as today's son.

In the evening, Xia Houzhan explained in detail the ideas he had thought of.

"What's the name?"

"Undecided, Hengqing, I really can't find anyone." Xia Houzhan's tone was full of helplessness, his foundation was too shallow, and the troops he had once been incorporated into the Imperial Forest Army.

"I have an old friend, if His Majesty can like it—"

"Although Hengqing is recommended."

Yu Zhuo raised his eyebrows, smiled brightly, and said, "Your Majesty will go to Wanying Pavilion with my ministers tonight, and you will not disappoint Your Majesty."
