Chapter 38 An Unexpected Encounter

Yan Luan took a sip of the food, and said: "In the past, most of the Weifu came out with Hong Bai, why did you bring Lu Bing today?"

Zhao Ying said: "Now Hong Bai is in charge of the Yulin Army and the imperial guards, and he is very busy every day. Today just happened that Lu Bing came to play in the palace, so I brought him out."

Yan Luan said: "In the future, if Weifu comes out, it's better to bring Hong Bai or those personal guards who have been with you all the time in the palace."

Zhao Ying said: "What? Is there something wrong with Lu Bing?"

Yan Luan said: "That's not true. I'm still very relieved when he handles things. But after all, he's been with Xuan'er for so long... Even if I worry too much."

Zhao Ying said: "I can't say too much. Wei'er is my son and Lie'er is my adopted son. Neither of them can be trusted. Who else can be trusted?"

Yan Luan said: "Don't be too discouraged, Lie'er's matter still needs to be investigated carefully, and Wei'er is much more sensible than before. Yanhua went to my place this afternoon and told me that I should send a few to Beijing Wei and the three major battalions. Deputy, I think what he said makes sense, can you take a look at this list?"

As he spoke, he took out the list Chen Wenying gave him in the afternoon from his cuff and handed it to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying looked at it, nodded and agreed.

Yan Luan also said that he wanted to re-enable Kou Yiqing as governor of the Shuntian government, but Zhao Ying said: "It seems a bit condescending for him to be the governor of the Shuntian government."

Yan Luan said: "Although the official rank of Shuntian Mansion Yin is not high, his position is important. There is no more suitable candidate for a while, so let Hai Che go. Hai Che is used to big storms, so he won't care too much about his rank for a while."

Zhao Ying said: "Alright. In this way, I will ask Yan Shuang to issue the imperial decree the day after tomorrow, and you will first disclose the news to these people tomorrow."

Yan Luan said: "No need, just let them receive the grace."

Zhao Ying said: "Yes, you have more people on your own, and it will be more convenient for you to be the chief assistant in the future."

Yan Luan laughed and said, "I haven't heard of any emperor encouraging his subjects to form cliques."

Zhao Ying smiled and said: "Why are you being polite? You are the best at building party members. At that time, under my nose, didn't you win over people who had half the court?" Seeing Yan Luan's face changed, he hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I If you say something wrong, you will be punished with a drink." As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass.

Yan Luan took a mouthful of vegetables to Zhao Ying's plate, and said, "How dare I be angry with the emperor? The emperor drinks so fast, hurry up and eat some vegetables."

Zhao Ying was about to continue coaxing Yan Luan, but there was a knock on the door, and then the shopkeeper came in and smiled apologetically, while opening the screen and saying, "I'm sorry, two masters, just now three masters came in and sat in the screen. The villain personally entertained the villain himself, and then the villain's owner called the villain away when something happened. He didn't know about our second son, so he left the three masters inside." The screen opened, and Zhao Ying and Yan Luan saw Sitting behind the screen were Chen Wenying, Kou Yiqing and Luo Xianlin.

Several people were stunned for a moment, Chen Wenying and the three hurriedly bowed to Zhao Ying and said, "Master."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "This is really 'a leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, where life does not meet again', there is such a coincidence, come and sit."

Chen Wenying said: "It's better not to bother you for a drink, the rest of us will leave first."

Zhao Ying said: "I've met them all. You haven't eaten yet. We just ate together." Then he said to the shopkeeper, "Go get some bowls and chopsticks, and serve some more dishes." The shopkeeper accompanied him. No, he and Xiaoer retreated out.

As soon as the door of the private room was closed, Chen Wenying knelt down hurriedly, and said: "I have disturbed the emperor's elegant mood, and I deserve death." Yan Luan also stood up and knelt down.

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "Really, since I heard I'm coming, why don't you come out to see me?"

In fact, when Zhao Ying and Yan Luan first came in, they wanted to come out to meet each other, but when they heard Yan Luan hitting Zhao Ying's chopsticks, they looked at each other, but they couldn't come out again.I just hope that Zhao Ying will not find them all the time, they wait for Zhao Ying and Yan Luan to leave before coming out.At this time, I couldn't say it clearly, so I had to kowtow and said: "It's the minister who overheard the holy will. The minister deserves death for his crime. Please punish the emperor."

Zhao Ying smiled and said: "Okay, I've been hungry all night, let's get up and eat quickly, lest Xiaoer come in and see me later." Several people stood up and sat down.

Zhao Ying said: "It's just right that you are here. You heard what I said to Mr. Yan just now. Hai Che, Xian Lin, who should be favored by you when you come back this time, naturally you know who you want?"

The two hurriedly said: "I understand that besides being grateful for the grace, I am also grateful for Master Yan's support."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "I know, your official rank is not as high as before, but I feel a little wronged."

Kou Yiqing smiled and said: "I work for the emperor, so I dare not think about my own rank. Besides, I'm in an important position, why should I feel wronged?"

Luo Xianlin also laughed and said: "This minister is the emperor's pawn, and I will be willing to put him wherever I want."

Zhao Ying chatted happily with the three of them, but Yan Luan remained silent.

The five of them finished their meal and went downstairs to see that Lu Bing and the others had finished eating and were waiting there.Lu Bing was a little surprised when he saw the three of Chen Wenying, and said to Zhao Ying: "Master, it's raining outside. I didn't know these three were there, so I only found two carriages. Why don't I wait for the two masters to go first and let them The subordinates will find a few more carriages to send the three of them off."

Seeing that her entourage was not there, Chen Wenying probably went to look for the carriage, so she said, "Master Lu, let's go with the two masters first, don't worry about us."

Zhao Ying said: "It's so troublesome, Mr. Yan and I will take a car, and I will send Mr. Yan back to the mansion first, and then I will go back. It will be fine for the three of them to take a car."

But Yan Luan said: "My lord, let's go first by car, the few of us can fit in one car."

Zhao Ying took a look at Yan Luan, but didn't let her go, got into the carriage and went back to the palace.

Yan Luan, Chen Wenying, Kou Yiqing, and Luo Xianlin sat in the carriage, and they all relaxed. Chen Wenying laughed and said, "I was scared to death, I almost thought the emperor was going to silence me just now."

Kou Yiqing also smiled and said: "No, I also thought that I would die and go home today."

Yan Luan's face turned red, and he said, "It's fine if you just laugh at me here. If news of today's incident gets out, it's certain that I won't survive, and you won't be able to run away either."

Luo Xianlin said with a smile: "Which matter? Did you hit the emperor with chopsticks, or did you drink with the emperor..." Speaking of this, he also knew that he couldn't go on, so he stopped.

Chen Wenying said: "What I said to you in the afternoon, didn't the emperor also say that he wanted you to be the chief assistant?"

Yan Luan said sternly: "Don't say this anymore. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth as my old friend for more than ten years. Don't think that the emperor really trusts me completely. What the emperor said about my marriage You have also heard what the party said, and the emperor still remembers what happened before. Now the court is in troubled times, so you must not be careless."

Kou Yiqing said: "Don't worry, Ling'an. They are all people who have been in the officialdom for decades. We will definitely not think that with you as a backer, we will be arrogant and cause you trouble."

Chen Wenying and Luo Xianlin also said: "Yes, we all know that there are so many internal and external troubles nowadays."
