Before he knew it, there were already many people around Chen Leng who cared about him. This process was so natural that even Chen Leng didn't deliberately think about it. It was not because of his flattery. If this was the case, then the people around him would definitely not have the old dean, nor did Mr. Chen, nor did Han Huanzhi, nor would there be Cha Master, and of course there would not be His Majesty.

Just as Han Huanzhi thought one day, he suddenly realized that he had become a person around Chen Leng unknowingly. Everything was so natural that even a person like him didn't feel abrupt.

However, when he woke up, he still felt a little annoyed. He was the Du Tingwei Mansion of the Tingwei Mansion and a person trusted by His Majesty, so he could not have any behavior or idea of ​​taking sides. Once he had it, he would not be able to command the Tingwei Mansion to do what the Tingwei Mansion should do as almost ruthlessly as before.

But later, Han Huanzhi discovered that some of the people's ideas were indeed irreversible. After a long time of irreversibility, they just didn't want to go against them.

"Before I came, I had sent someone to send a letter back to the people who stayed at the Tingwei Mansion. If the eldest prince was really exiled and asked them to arrange for someone to follow the eldest prince, I also wrote a letter to Ye Liuyun, and he would pay attention."

Han Huanzhi looked at the ingredients on the table in front of her with disgust: "So, shouldn't you thank me?"

Chen Leng: "Are you interested in giving your body a promise?"

Han Huanzhi: "It's better for me to arrange for someone to pretend to assassinate the eldest prince, and then tell His Majesty that it is yours."

Chen Leng: "You should just say what you want to eat."

Han Huanzhi: "I want to eat vegetables."

Chen Leng: "Wait."

Soon, Chen Leng came in with a plate of washed carrots: "This is my stock."

Han Huanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you doing with such a thing?"

Chen Leng: "I saw the dirty things in Lord Han's eyes."

Han Huanzhi glanced at Chen Leng and looked at the carrots: "Is this a vegetable?"

Chen Leng: "What about that?"

Han Huanzhi thought for a while: "I think you are just perfunctory when there is nothing green leaf."

Chen Leng sighed: "This is the cold winter month, this is still in the deep mountains. You asked me to find you green leafy vegetables..."

Han Huanzhi: "Even if there are vegetables without green leaves, it will be so difficult for me to use something else like green leaves to barely pass it over? Even if there is nothing fresh, isn't it done? There are no natural air-dried, and there are not fried yet?"

Chen Leng sighed: "You are the chief lieutenant of the prefecture of the prefecture. What about your face when you have to spend so much effort on a little tea?"

Han Huanzhi leaned back: "If you want to extort other people's good tea, it's naturally not that difficult, but you don't think about it. There are many people in the world who can extort things from your hands, which is difficult."

Chen Leng: "You won."

Han Huanzhi asked: "Do you have nothing to ask me?"

Chen Leng: "What are you asking?"

Han Huanzhi: "Ask me how much I extort."

Chen Leng: "Draw the sword."

At the same time, Chang'an City and Weiyang Palace.

The hot pot in the Donghun Pavilion was about to come to an end. The emperor seemed to be in a little better mood. Two people who could often eat hot pot in the Donghun Pavilion were his teacher and the other was his close friend. So the hot pot always tasted so delicious. The emperor felt better, and the old dean and Lai Cheng both breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the emperor is far from as powerful as he looks. His weakness is always visible to anyone. This weakness is his family. Most of the time, the emperor is calm and terrible, especially in adversity. The emperor can find possibilities in the impossible, feasible, and controllable.

So he was one of the strongest emperors in Daning, perhaps no one.

But as long as the person he cares about is involved, he will often become less calm.

Thinking of this, the old dean couldn't help but think of that stupid boy. Isn't he the same? So the old dean couldn't help but think again. If someone told him at this moment that the stupid boy was not the emperor's son, he would definitely not believe it. No matter how he looked at it, no matter how he thought about it, that stupid boy was the one who looked the most like His Majesty, and was still above the second prince.

If this is not something in blood, what else can it be?

When the old dean was thinking about this, Lai Cheng happened to be thinking about this. Although Lai Cheng could not participate in the old dean Mr. Chen and others, they discussed and speculated about Leng Zi's life experience, like them, but this does not mean that Lai Cheng would not think about it. On the contrary, he might think more than the old dean. The old dean is not Chunchen, absolutely not, because he has feelings for the emperor, but Lai Cheng is Chunchen, so his thinking is calmer and deeper than the old dean, and he is more ruthless.

"Go back."

The emperor stood up: "I am tired, so I will take a good rest when I go back, and I will go to court tomorrow morning."

The old dean and Lai Cheng stood up at the same time and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the East Warehouse Pavilion, the old dean looked at the lights on the cabinet room: "Don't you go home?"

Lai Cheng shook his head: "You can't go back."

The old dean sighed: "So a lazy person like me will never be able to enter the cabinet in my entire life."

Lai Cheng smiled: "I'll send my husband out of the palace first and walk all the way."

These four words along the way are often synonymous with these four words I have something to say.

These two people represent the past and present of the Daning court. The old dean really has no energy to teach or care about the government affairs. All his energy is spent on caring about the people he cares about is still unable to do so. How could he have so much mood to care about anything else? If it weren't for the emperor who really couldn't live without his father like his father, the old dean might have returned to his hometown to find a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

So he knew that what Lai Cheng wanted to tell him was definitely not the government affairs. A smart person like Lai Cheng knew that if he asked the old president for advice on the government affairs, the old president would probably ignore him.

"gentlemen."

The two of them walked on the deserted path in the palace and Lai Cheng suddenly stopped. There was no one in front, back, left and right, and some words were convenient to say.

"Um?"

The old dean looked at Lai Cheng: "What do you want to say in such a place? "

"Does sir believe that the eldest prince has had an epiphany?"

"Don't you believe it?"

The old dean did not answer, just asked remarks.

Lai Cheng looked at the old dean's eyes that seemed to be dazzled, and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old fox."

The old dean sighed: "I am so old, so there is no need to worry about intrigues, conspiracies and tricks, so it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. I think it's good that Your Majesty believes it, Lai Cheng... I am already qualified to rely on my seniority, so I will rely on my seniority to be old. I don't care about the eldest prince, I only care about Your Majesty. Your Majesty feels happy, and I feel happy."

This is the attitude of the old dean.

Lai Cheng sighed: "But this cannot be my attitude."

The old dean pointed to the front: "Walk and say, it's cold."

Lai Cheng quickly untied the cloak on his body and put it on the old dean. He held the old dean's arm and said while walking: "Mr. I just pulled my clothes in the East Warehouse. Are you afraid that I would anger Your Majesty and cause death?"

"Your mouth is poisonous and you don't have the door."

"Sir, know why."

"Know."

The old dean smiled: "I thought of something very early, probably when I was young. One day, I suddenly thought of a question: Who is the protagonist in this world? It is said that life is like a play. Everyone's life is a play, so everyone is the protagonist in their own play. I was thinking, is it really everyone the protagonist in their own life?"

Lai Cheng shook his head: "How is it possible? It's just a self-deception."

"Yes, it's just self-deception."

"Whether in other people's lives or in one's own lives, the protagonist is the protagonist, and the supporting role is the supporting role. Therefore, a supporting role must understand the meaning of one's existence, why one exists, and how one should exist, that is, the role in the play can only be summed up in four words...self-knowledge."

The old dean said as he walked: "After having self-knowledge, you will find that there are not so many worries, desires and requests, so life becomes easier. However, first of all, you must be clear about why you exist, otherwise you will lose the value of existence."

He looked at Lai Cheng: "You have known why you existed for a long time."

Lai Chengdao: "Everyone in the world says I am a lifeless person who dares to scold Your Majesty. The court officials say I am a stubborn donkey. I don't care. That's because Your Majesty needs a lifeless person and a stubborn donkey. This is why I exist. So I have to think about what Your Majesty doesn't want to think about. Your Majesty resists everything is not good, so I have to try my best to contact everything is not good."

He stopped: "I don't believe the eldest prince will have an epiphany."

The old dean exhaled a long sigh: "I'm really old."

Lai Cheng looked at the old dean, and the old dean let out a long breath. On this cold night, the breath was like a stream of white smoke. He was more like an old fox who had already attained enlightenment, breathing and absorbing the essence of the moon.

"Lai Cheng, I just said that I can rely on my seniority, and I just wanted to be purified and at ease, so... the words you said to me should not be said to me again."

He looked up at the night sky, and the clouds passed by quickly next to the moon.

"Look, the moon must have a rest too."

He smiled, walked forward, and said nothing more.

Lai Cheng stood there looking up at the moon, then sighed: "Sir, what an old fox."

The old dean who was walking tremblingly in front raised his hand and raised a middle finger. It was learned by him and Shen Leng.

Half an hour later, welcoming the new building.

Lai Cheng got off the carriage and didn't want to leave the palace. There were still many things in the cabinet that he had to deal with. He was the chief minister of the cabinet. He had too much work every day and didn't even have time to breathe. He had to run to the bathroom. If the people knew that a group of big men like them were actually so embarrassed, they didn't know what they thought.

There was already a carriage at the entrance of Yingxin Building, which was the carriage of Ye Liuyun, the Minister of Justice. Since Lord Ye left Yingxin Building, he rarely came back. He knew that his identity had changed. He could no longer contact Liuyun Club too much. He would eventually be treated as a handle. Even if he couldn't get rid of him, he would disgust him. The most important thing was that he didn't want His Majesty to be disgusted.

Lai Cheng thought that it was all the blame for the old dean, and he could see the moon if he had nothing to do.
