Lord Prime Minister

Mu Zihuai was hiding in the room. The sequelae of the needles continued. His eyes were swollen and narrowed into a line. He didn't even dare to touch them, let alone wipe them with a towel. He could only let his tears flow. His face was covered with paste.

When Huangfu Yunhua came in, he saw such a scene, and the smile on his face was a little more, and seeing that Mu Zihuai hadn't noticed that he was coming, he said, "Could it be that this king made you feel wronged and cried like this?" .”

Mu Zihuai turned his head, and saw the prince through the line of sight that had become a slit, and stood up quickly, ignoring the tears all over his face. "Why is the prince here? I, Miss Su, gave me an injection and I can't stop it."

"How long has it been like this? When will it stop?" Huangfu Yunhua approached, slightly lowered his body, leaned closer to Mu Zihuai, pinched his chin and carefully looked at Mu's eyes that were swollen into walnuts.

"It's almost an hour. Miss Su said that she will recover in three hours." While talking, Mu Zihuai felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head and broke away from the prince.As soon as the teardrops rolled down, Mu Zihuai felt embarrassed. It was outrageous for a big man to cry like this.He quickly wiped it with the towel in his hand, and the rough towel made his eye sockets hurt again.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yunhua quickly grabbed his hand, he had already guessed that this would be the result. "If you treat your eyes like this, even ten Su Ye can't cure you."

After finishing speaking, he took out the Yulu ointment that he had been holding all the time, unscrewed the lid of the box and applied the ointment on his index finger, carefully lifted Mu Zihuai's face, and applied it to his red and swollen eye sockets.

Mu Zihuai didn't expect the prince to do this suddenly, he was a little stunned for a moment, raised his head slightly, and felt the prince's fingertips brushing gently across the eyelids, leaving a coolness.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord." In a daze, the lord had finished applying the medicine, and Mu Zihuai felt much better. Although tears still flowed out uncontrollably, they were not as swollen as before.Then he realized that he asked the prince to apply the medicine to him, and quickly thanked him a little uncomfortable.

"This jade dew ointment is cool in nature, and it is very effective in treating edema and burns. You just keep it and apply it again after a while." Huangfu Yunhua put the lid back on and handed it to Mu Zihuai.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Mu Zihuai simply accepted the things, and Huangfu Yunhua asked again: "What did Su Ye say? Can your eye disease be cured?"

"It can be cured, but it is more troublesome and takes more time."

"That's good, treat it slowly, and cure the disease at its root." Huangfu Yunhua nodded, and said again: "In a few days, you will go to the Sitian Supervisor as an errand, and the queen mother will help you find a job."

"Empress?" Mu Zihuai was surprised. He didn't expect that even his own errands had been arranged, but the empress actually took care of such nosy matters.

"A historian who edited and compiled the Hanlin Academy returned to his hometown, and you went to fill his position. When you go there, someone will teach you the specific things." Without Mu Zihuai's refusal, Huangfu Yunhua said a word , things have been arranged properly.

It's useless to say more, Mu Zihuai could only bow his head to accept it, and then thought about it. "I don't know how the sixth prince's investigation is going?"

"If you can't find evidence, you won't be able to catch the murderer. Hong Shaoqing is one of the few upright people in the court. He will not add crimes to others unless it is absolutely necessary."

So it's still dragging on?

Mu Zihuai knew what the prince and Ren Danfeng were thinking, and he really didn't want to hand over the army that was so hard to get in a blink of an eye.Even if you want to hand it over, it will take some time until the soldiers show their sincerity before handing it over.This is the time for training. Once it is in the hands of the emperor, the army will be disbanded and all previous efforts will be in vain.

It's not a problem to procrastinate like this, but there is no other way.Just procrastinate for a while if you can, in case there is a turning point in the future, it may not be certain.

Thinking of this, Mu Zihuai couldn't help but said: "My lord, just be careful in everything."

Huangfu Yunhua nodded, he really can't make any mistakes in the future, only worried about being caught by Hong Shaoqing.

He didn't go to the palace any more, and could only stay in the mansion peacefully all day long. The second prince, Huangfu Renhao, never came again. I don't know if it was because he kept quiet to avoid the limelight, or what.Only Princess Miaotong sent a message, saying that the next time the prince enters the palace, he will go to her to talk about the past, and don't forget to ask him about it before.

Mu Zihuai has been busy arranging all kinds of books and historical materials these days, and every day when Qingyi brings over the medicine, he can be seen busy in front of the table.

Ms. Su explained before that if you want to cure your husband's eye disease, you must limit the time he spends reading.However, Mu Zihuai refused to listen. Facing his first errand, which was coming soon, he had to face it with full energy.

Compilation and compilation historians belong to the Ministry of Rites, record historical events, compile historical books, and manage national classics, astronomy and calendar, sacrifices, etc., and were originally ministers of the court a long time ago.However, the Daguang Dynasty seemed to attach great importance to astronomical sacrifices, and specially set up the Sitian Supervisor to be in charge of sacrifices and calendar calculations, and the compiling historians gradually became idlers, who only needed to record historical events and compile them into history books.

It took a few days to read through the history of the Daguang Dynasty, and with a general understanding, Mu Zihuai changed into the official robe sent by the prince, and walked to the Imperial Academy alone early in the morning.

The Hanlin Academy is located on the south side of Chang'an Street in the capital. It was originally a temple named Honglu Temple.Later, the Imperial Academy was built here, and it was set as the official third-rank yamen in the court. That was also the past, and now there is only an empty shell left. There are not many people working in it, but the former glory can still be seen from the appearance of the Imperial Academy. .

As soon as you enter the Hanlin Academy, the lecture hall is on the right, and the editing and inspection hall is on the east.The Zhuangyuan hall inside the gate of the left corridor and the Changli Temple and Tugu Temple inside the gate of the right corridor are all idle, with some sundries piled up.After passing through the hall, on the left is the waiting hall, and on the right is the Dianbo hall.Then there is the back hall, and the east and west rooms in the back hall are the library, which stores the historical materials and copies of books sorted out over the years.There are two small red pavilions in the courtyard, and there is a Phoenix Pond under the pavilion, in which colorful koi swim around, lively and lovely.

Mu Zihuai didn't see anyone all the way into the Imperial Academy, so he could only walk in by himself, and when he reached the courtyard, he heard a noisy voice, which came from the editorial office.

"Mr. Xu is gone, who will go to Si Tianjian to check the personnel book?" An elderly voice asked.

"I'm not going, I won't go with that old man Si Tianjian, so I won't go." Another voice immediately continued.

"I can't go either, I have to go to Dali Temple to get the trial records later." Another person immediately evaded.

"Then who will go? If I go, who will organize these materials?" The man asked again.

After waiting for a while, the editing and inspection room became quiet, and Mu Zihuai raised his hand and knocked on the open door.

"Mu Zihuai, I'm the new official historian, please take care of me in the future."

The three people in the hall fell silent, Qi Qi turned to look at Mu Zihuai at the door.A middle-aged man in his 40s greeted him with a smile on his face: "You are Mr. Mu who was recommended by the elder grandson, come in quickly."

Mu Zihuai nodded, raised his foot and stepped over the threshold. There were a lot of books in the hall, and on the table in the corner, there were documents as tall as a person everywhere.

"I am an academician of the Imperial Academy. My surname is Shen and my name is Li. These two are historians. This is Qiao Ji, and the other is Zishu." Academician Shen introduced the two and warmly invited Mu Zihuai to sit down. .

Mu Zihuai bowed his hands to the two first, "Mu Zihuai, the junior, met the two seniors."

The two nodded indifferently, and went about their business.

Academician Shen saw that the two of them were a little awkward, and smiled awkwardly at Mu Zihuai. "Sit down first and get familiar with the environment."

While speaking, the two stood up together and walked out.Academician Shen quickly stopped them: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Dali Temple to get the trial records."

"I went to the lecture hall to sort out the books."

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the editing and inspection hall.

In a panic, Academician Shen hurried forward a few steps, and shouted at the two who had gone far away: "You are all gone, so who will go to the Sitianjian to get the personnel book?"

Those two people didn't even have heads, they just waved their hands and disappeared.

Academician Shen has a good temper, he was not angry, and turned around and smiled at Mu Zihuai.Seeing the mountains of materials piled up on the desk case, he suddenly felt bitter. These are all to be completed in the past two days, and he really can't leave.

Looking at the newcomer Mu Zihuai, who was sitting on the chair in an orderly manner, Academician Shen tentatively said, "Master Mu, why don't you go to the Sitian Supervisor?"

Mu Zihuai had an intuition that this was not a good thing, otherwise the two of them would not have avoided it.But as the first errand proposed by the academician, Mu Zihuai couldn't refuse.

"What are you going to Si Tianjian for?"

Academician Shen laughed when he heard that Mu Zihuai agreed. "The matter is not difficult, but those two boys and the lord Si Tianjian have some knots that they can't get rid of, so they can't avoid it. If Master Mu goes, it shouldn't make things difficult for you. Master Mu just needs to go and clear the personnel affairs for this month. Just bring the book, as I said before, the Hanlin Academy used to record it every month."

Mu Zihuai thought about it and thought it should not be difficult, so he agreed. "Since no one is going, then I will go."

Academician Shen beamed with joy, and took out a record book from the desk case and handed it to him. "You can go to Sitianjian and find Lord Fu Shifu. He knows the procedure. Remember to ask him to record it in this booklet."

Mu Zihuai nodded and put away the record book. "I remember it all."

"Well, go early and come back early." Academician Shen personally sent him out of the editing and inspection hall, and told him again.

"Understood, Academician Shen, let's go back first." Mu Zihuai flicked the hem of his clothes, straightened his clothes, bid farewell to Academician Shen and walked towards Si Tianjian.

Si Tianjian is on the north side of Chang'an Avenue, opposite to the Hanlin Academy in the north and south.

This is a tall courtyard-style mansion built less than a hundred years ago, with red bricks and yellow tiles.

Mu Zihuai rearranged his clothes, stepped forward and said to the boy at the door: "I am a new historian editor from the Imperial Academy, and I am here to ask Mr. Fu to proofread the personnel book."

The young man in Tsing Yi looked up at Mu Zihuai with disdain in his eyes. "From the Hanlin Academy? Wait a minute."

Muzi nodded with a good temper, and stood quietly on the left side of the door.Then the boy walked slowly towards the door.
