After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Liu Neng was originally a small government official in a town. His favorite thing to do was to study the art of war. When he had nothing to do, he would call the government officials to the back garden of the government office to arrange the troops. Somehow, his ability was known by Gongsun Wen, who promoted him to the Ministry of War and gave him a position as the chief.

Gongsun Wen now not only has to assist the prince in governing the country, but also has to find suitable officials for the court.

This is not an easy job. If you do it well, no one will appreciate it. If you do it poorly, you will easily be accused of forming a clique for personal gain and cultivating your own power. You will easily be accused of treason.

But Gongsun Wen was a solitary person who never took other people's opinions to heart. Apart from the emperor, no one else in the world dared to scold him (Oh, no, there was also Ah Man).

Moreover, the candidates he selected for the court were all really suitable, and even Zheng Xian could not find any fault with them.

With the emperor's support, who would dare to criticize Gongsun Wen?

After Du Longfei left, Zheng Xian saw that Li Jin was listless and dull, and he couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Li Nanyi, get out of here. You are listless all day and don't say a word. How can you do your job well?"

Li Jin walked to the desk and said, "Your Majesty, ever since the incident with Minister Lu's family, my wife has been crying all day long. Not long after, she said that her parents came to see her. I was so scared that I quickly sent her to Mingyue Temple and asked Master Miaoyin to exorcise the evil spirits for her. As a result, my wife refused to see me again after that, saying that I was the murderer of her parents. I have been running between Mingyue Temple and the capital every day. I am really tired. Let alone doing my job, I can even fall asleep while standing."

Zheng Xian scolded Li Jin again. Li Jin didn't dare to talk back and had to lower his head and endure it.

At this time, Wei Yi quietly came to Zheng Xian's side and said, "General Du wants to see you, saying he has something urgent to do."

Zheng Xian rolled his eyes and said, "What's the emergency?"

Wei Yi reminded in a low voice: "General Du took Miss Gui to see Ah Man today."

When Zheng Xian heard this, he realized that Ah Man's matter was much more important than that of all the civil and military officials in the court, so he quickly said, "Today's meeting ends here. There will be no court tomorrow. If you have any matters, just submit a memorial."

So all the ministers kowtowed, thanked the emperor and left.

When Du Feilong retreated to the gate, he saw his son with lifeless eyes, standing dejectedly against the wall like an eggplant hit by frost.

Du Feilong rarely saw his son in such an expression, so he quietly walked over and asked in a low voice: "Did you make your mother unhappy today?"

Du Changfeng rolled his eyes at his father and said unhappily, "I would never mess with anyone but my mother."

Du Feilong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Otherwise, you and I will both be in trouble."

Du Feilong finished speaking and was about to leave happily. Du Changfeng said gloomily, "You are just like my mother. You never care about me. I am about to cancel the engagement, but you don't even have a word of comfort."

When Du Feilong heard Du Changfeng say he wanted to cancel the engagement, his beard stood up with joy and he laughed like a goose, "Oh oh oh..."

He laughed and said, "That's a good retreat, a wonderful retreat. The frogs all croaked when they heard it."

Du Changfeng just felt that it was very harsh.

Du Changfeng really didn't want to pay attention to this stupid father, so under the guidance of Wei Yi, he quickly walked into the hall.

After all the ministers left, Zheng Xian finally asked someone to bring up some snacks.

Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen were both very hungry. They were eating voraciously when Du Changfeng walked in.

Du Changfeng was speechless when he saw the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor eating like hungry ghosts.

Seeing Du Changfeng looking straight at them, Zheng Yan thought for a moment, handed him a plate of pea yellow that was a bit choking, and said, "Do you want to eat it, Lord Du?"

Du Changfeng quickly shook his head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I have already had breakfast and am not hungry for the time being."

When Zheng Yan heard this, he happily picked up a piece of pea yellow and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed it with satisfaction.

Gongsun Wengang didn't even look at Du Changfeng during the whole process. He was almost starving to death. When he finally got some food, the prince wanted to snatch it from him. It was really infuriating.

Zheng Xian drank a bowl of chicken soup, which made his stomach feel better. He finally didn’t feel so cold anymore.

Zheng Xian put down the bowl and Wei Yi quickly handed him a white handkerchief.

Zheng Xian took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then threw the white handkerchief on the table and asked, "You said you have something important to report, what is it?"

Du Changfeng glanced hesitantly at Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen, then at Zheng Xian, but didn't dare to say anything.

Zheng Xian got angry when he saw Du Changfeng seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he cursed, "If you want to speak, then speak. If not, get out of here."

Du Changfeng was so scolded that he trembled. Finally, as if he had made a great decision, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, I request to cancel the engagement."

"Break off the engagement?" Zheng Xian habitually touched the big spot on his thumb, and as he did so he remembered that he had already given the big spot to A'man.

Zheng Xian slammed the table and shouted, "Didn't you beg me to marry the fourth daughter of the Gui family? Now you want to cancel the engagement. I never joke with you. How can you cancel the engagement just like that?"

Du Changfeng was stunned by the scolding. It was indeed he who knelt in the palace to ask the emperor to let him marry Gui Lannuo, but the emperor did not issue an order. He just asked him to go around with Gui Lannuo. This, this does not count as disobeying the emperor's order, right?

Du Changfeng is a very straightforward person and is unable to change his mind.

Zheng Xian ignored Du Changfeng's silly expression and asked, "Tell me, why do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Du Changfeng said angrily, "I had an appointment with Ah Man to go to Wangyue Tower today, but he was so unreasonable and even stopped Nuonuo to ask who Master Min was. He also said that Nuonuo had cheated on me and cheated on me. Nuonuo was frightened by Ah Man and could only cry. Seeing Nuonuo like this, I felt bad. I thought, since no one sees my marriage, I will ask for a divorce."

The further Du Changfeng spoke, the lower his voice became.

But Zheng Xian's mind was obviously not on Du Changfeng's desire to break off the engagement. After listening to Du Changfeng's story, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Min? The crown prince of Xihe is called Zhou Min."

As soon as Zheng Xian finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Gongsun Wen looked at Zheng Xian with his mouth full of pastries, then at Du Changfeng, his eyes full of disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.

Zheng Yan finally swallowed the cake, and choked and coughed a few times before he said, "Lord Du, what else did Ah Man say at that time?"

"A'man? What else can he say? He has always been against me marrying the daughter of Gui family. He wants to break up Nuonuo and me, and he even laughs at me for being a fool." Du Changfeng became more and more angry as he spoke.

Zheng Yan no longer dared to stuff cakes into his mouth, for fear that he would be choked to death by Du Changfeng's words.

Zheng Xian held his head, which was slightly swollen, and said weakly, "What is the point of keeping such a person in the world? Just take him away and bury him."

Du Changfeng said happily: "Yes, yes, take Ah Man away and bury him. He is such a troublemaker."

After hearing this, Zheng Xian was so angry that he threw the tea bowl he had just brought at Du Changfeng.
