Chapter 393

After the mother and son finished their meal, An Shen Ziyang happened to have arranged the affairs in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so he took them by carriage into the palace to the Qianqing Palace.

No matter how unpromising Zhu Zhu Yijing was, and no matter how dissatisfied An Shen Ziyang was with this waste, neither Zhu Zai nor Li Miao would want anything to happen to him.

In the Qianqing Palace, Lady Zhu looked at Li Miao nervously, pursing her lips and not daring to make a sound, until Li Miao let go of her hand before asking anxiously.

"Big Li..."

"It's okay."

Li Miao raised his hand and pinched Zhu Zhu Yijing's pulse, and Zhu Zhu Yijing fainted without a sound.

"There is indeed nothing unusual in his body, at least it can be determined that there is nothing harmful to him, and there is no 'nature' of others. But Liu Jin stayed by his side for so long, it shouldn't be aimless... but he didn't take charge of any important errands."

"To be safe, you and he should not leave the palace from today, just find a side hall to live in next to the Wenyuan Pavilion, so it is convenient for me to take care of the Commander together."

"I have achieved the Xuanlan Realm. Even if someone like Liu Liu Liu Jinyi comes, I can immediately perceive it and cannot get close to you."

Lady Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

An Shen Ziyang prepared to take the two to the Wenyuan Pavilion. As soon as he took a step, he was called by Li Miao from behind.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Anzi, come here."

An Shen Ziyang turned and twisted his waist and leaned in front of Li Miao.

"Pacification Commissioner, you order, I will do it now!"

Li Miao stuffed a note into his hand.

"Give it to the Commander."

"Got it!"

An Shen Ziyang didn't say a word, turned and left.

After arranging the residence and guards for Lady Zhu and Zhu Zhu Yijing, An Shen Ziyang returned to the second floor of the Wenyuan Pavilion. Liu Baiyun and others had already left with their errands, and only Mei Mei Mei Qinghe was left in the inner room.

An Shen Ziyang stepped in and handed the note Li Miao gave to Zhu Zai.

"Commander, news from the Pacification Commissioner."

"Hmm."

Zhu Zai took the note, only glanced at it, and frowned. His gaze couldn't help but look at the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and the corners of his mouth turned down.

"Big Li... sigh."

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, turned around and took a sign from the shelf behind him, and threw it to An Shen Ziyang along with the note.

An Shen Ziyang didn't know why, scanned the note, and was actually directly shocked and angry, forgetting even his respectful attitude toward Zhu Zai, frowning and shouting.

"No! Commander! This is absolutely impossible!"

He turned and was about to leave.

"I'm going to find the Pacification Commissioner!"

As soon as his hand touched the door, he was suppressed by Zhu Zai's stern voice.

"An Shen Ziyang! Have you forgotten that you are an Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"So what if I don't do this Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

An Shen Ziyang turned suddenly, but his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he no longer had the flattering and fawning attitude of weekdays.

"Commander, if there were no Pacification Commissioner, do you think I would be willing to be this Battalion Commander!"

He raised his hand and held up the sign Zhu Zai gave him.

"Today's matter, in the final analysis, is that you tied the Pacification Commissioner's hands and feet! If there were no you, what eunuchs, civil officials, Yingzhou, world, the Pacification Commissioner could leave if he wanted to, kill if he wanted to, how could there be any threat to him!"

"Do you think I want him to stay!"

Zhu Zai was also full of anger.

The two looked at each other, neither giving an inch.

But Mei Mei Mei Qinghe on the side was left out.

She looked left and right, scratched her head, and was silent for a long while before hesitating to speak.

"Uh, otherwise I..."

"None of your business!" "Nothing to do with you!"

Zhu Zai and An Shen Ziyang shouted angrily in unison.

Mei Mei Mei Qinghe scratched her head again, not annoyed, but knew that she was just a thug and had no ability to participate in the dispute between the two, so she consciously shut her mouth. After a long while, Zhu Zai sat down and patted the armrest of the chair.

"If you can change Big Li's mind, I will give you this seat."

An Shen Ziyang was silent.

He slowly shook his head.

No one can change Li Miao's decision, whether it is an enemy or a friend. He knew this very well.

Zhu Zai said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, you have time to contradict the old man here, it's better to do things more thoroughly and be worthy of Big Li's cultivation of you."

An Shen Ziyang was silent again.

After a while, he arched his hands.

"Subordinate will go to receive the family law."

"No need, do things more secretly, don't let people notice, you can adjust the manpower yourself, no need to report to me."

Zhu Zai pinched his temples and waved his hand.

An Shen Ziyang bowed deeply to him and left with Mei Mei Mei Qinghe.

Only Zhu Zai was left in the Wenyuan Pavilion, first pondering for a long while, then letting out a long sigh, raising his hand to take a copy from the memorials piled up on the table, and started to approve it.

After about an hour, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Three sounds, not long apart, crisp and soft.

Zhu Zai frowned and said, "Come in."

Someone pushed the door and walked in, smiling and arching his hands at Zhu Zai.

"Commander Zhu, are you busy?"

Zhu Zai's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face, stood up and smiled and said: "Attendant Yan, I don't see you coming up on weekdays... what is the matter?"

The man was wearing a green python robe, thin, with a clear face and a long beard hanging on his chest. Although he was smiling, he still made people feel solemn, like an old crane with a long beak, looking at the water surface with hunger.

This person is the Great Shu's one-person-under-ten-thousand-people, the prime minister in name but not in reality, the powerful minister who has actually controlled the Great Shu court after the Emperor's lazy government, the Chief Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Yan Song.

And it is also the opponent Zhu Zai has been most troubled by in the past six months.

However, the two have been old men who have been immersed in the officialdom for decades. No matter how they fight under the table, they have always maintained a gentle and polite smile on the surface and have never torn their faces in person.

Yan Song smiled and stepped forward, walked to the tea table next to him with Zhu Zai and sat down. The two exchanged a few words, drank a few sips of tea, and wasted about half an hour before leading the conversation to the main topic.

He said: "Commander Zhu has worked hard this year."

"Where, I am just lucky to be trusted by the Emperor and perform my duties."

"Hehe, that's true. When it comes to trust, we foreign ministers are ultimately not as good as Commander Zhu."

Yan Song sighed when he said this.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been able to see the Emperor for several months..."

Zhu Zai's eyes condensed, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile.

"Does Attendant Yan have anything to say to the Emperor?"

Yan Song shook his head, suddenly stood up with his hands behind his back, and said slowly.

"It's just some groundless worries... Judging from this year's memorials, the taxes and land conditions in various places are worrying, and there was the incident of the rebels assassinating the Emperor last year, so many places are not very stable."

He turned around suddenly.

"The world today is already swaying in the wind and rain. Commander Zhu, as a member of the royal family, don't you want to save it?"

Zhu Zai's face had already turned cold.

"What does Attendant Yan mean?"

Yan Song said solemnly.

"The situation today is all because the Emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, does not walk in the court, and someone is blocking the holy hearing! Making the Emperor's grace only benefit those who flatter, but not the people of the world!"

"Therefore, tomorrow I will lead the officials to request the Emperor to come to court and listen to politics!"
