Volume Two: The Wind and Cloud in Kyoto Chapter 417 Entering the Prime Minister's Mansion
But no matter what, the result was good. Huang Zhang returned to the court and really started to get involved in political affairs.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs.
He had just been promoted and returned to the court, and on the other side, his daughter sent him news.
Huang Zhang asked Sunu to arrange for people to investigate the people Sun Miao had come into contact with over the years, and sure enough, Sunu found some clues.
A year ago, when Huang Zhang had just left the capital, Sun Miao's house suddenly changed to a housekeeper.
Changing housekeepers is considered a normal thing for the high-ranking officials in Kyoto. After all, Huang Zhang himself had just changed one.
But Sun Miao was different. Su Nu specially sent someone to check on the housekeeper, and she found something was wrong.
After Sun Miao's butler was fired, he did not leave the capital. On the contrary, he lived in a house.
And this house, with the financial resources of a housekeeper, obviously cannot be purchased.
After discovering the traces of the housekeeper, Su Nu immediately asked Wei Lin to keep an eye on him.
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with this housekeeper.
Sure enough, on the day Huang Zhang received the appointment, the housekeeper followed suit.
When he arrived at the Sun Mansion, Wei Lin didn't know what they talked about, but at least this incident proved that the housekeeper was not fired by Sun Miao, but just turned to help him secretly.
Afterwards, the housekeeper came out of Sun Miao's house and went straight to the third prince's house.
This is what Wei Lin saw with her own eyes.
All the guesses were consistent. Huang Zhang had already guessed that something was wrong with Sun Miao. It seemed that he was from Lao San's group.
He used his own good-for-nothing son to suppress him, and it was also his fault that he fell into the opponent's scheme in the first place.
If it weren't for Wen Dao's help, he wouldn't have gotten up so quickly.
Upon hearing the news that he was up, Sun Miao obviously couldn't hold himself back and wanted to start his next plan.
snort!
Now that he knows the other party's actions, he will naturally not sit still and wait for death.
The cage is already set up, just waiting for the prey to fall into the trap!
He governs the internal history of millet, right? He is in charge of the world’s grain tax, right?
Then he will get rid of Sun Miao. In this way, the third child will lose his financial support!
He wanted to see what other trump cards this little-known third child had!
After learning the news, Huang Zhang's plan was gradually unfolding. A large net had been slowly laid out, waiting for the other party to fall into the trap.
Afterwards, Huang Zhang specially sent a greeting letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
No matter what, literary education helped him, and he had to have at least some human sophistication.
Although Luo Chen Qian had previously warned Huang Zhang not to get involved in the dispute between Wen Xiang and the Liang family, but in the capital, he himself was a whirlpool, and there was no way he would not get involved.
If the Liang family helps him, he will also show goodwill to the Liang family.
Huang Zhang's visit to the Prime Minister's Office was quickly responded to.
Wen Dao specially sent Wen Feng to pick him up.
Seeing this drunkard, Huang Zhang felt a little funny in his heart.
He saw Wen Feng only a few times, and spent most of his time drinking in restaurants. He didn't know why the son of a former prime minister was so dissolute. Could it be that Wen Dao doted on him?
Wen Feng took Wen's carriage with Huang Zhang and rushed from the Prince's Courtyard to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the car, Wenfeng was very excited. Maybe he didn't expect that one day Huang Zhang would be so prominent. As his drinking buddy, Wenfeng felt that his face also had a glow.
However, Huang Zhang really couldn't resist Wen Feng's enthusiasm.
If outsiders looked over, they might think that he and Wen Feng were good friends who talked about everything.
But in fact, Wenfeng is the only one performing a one-man show.
However, there was an episode in the middle. Wenfeng had been talking eloquently to Huang Zhang. Huang Zhang felt that Wenfeng talked too much and was not as interesting as the scenery on the roadside, so he opened the car curtain.
But when the carriage passed by an alley, Wenfeng suddenly became uncharacteristic and stopped talking.
Wenfeng rarely spoke until the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This made Huang Zhang extremely curious. What made this guy suddenly change his gender?
As soon as he got off the carriage, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion stood at the door to receive him.
As for Wen Feng, the housekeeper didn't seem to notice him and only focused on taking care of Huang Zhang.
Huang Zhangquan thought that the housekeeper was very familiar with Wen Feng, so it was normal for him not to greet him.
But as soon as he entered the gate, Wen Feng said goodbye to Huang Zhang and then turned around and left.
Very strange!
Along the way, Wen Feng's state changed quite a bit, which caught him off guard for a while.
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Huang Zhang met the respected prime minister again in the study room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wen Dao was very happy about Huang Zhang's arrival, and immediately stopped what he was doing and started to greet Huang Zhang.
After chatting with Wen Dao for a while, Huang Zhang remembered Wen Feng's behavior just now and asked curiously: "I saw something was wrong with Wen Feng's expression when he was in the carriage just now. Did something happen to him?"
Unexpectedly, when Huang Zhang mentioned Wen Feng, Wen Dao's expression immediately changed.
"It's okay not to mention this traitor. Your Highness, please don't disturb Yaxing because of him."
Huang Zhang originally thought that Wen Dao would be very doting on his younger son, but he didn't expect that there was no hint of doting in Wen Dao's appearance. He clearly looked like he hated iron but could not make steel.
Is it because Wen Feng went to have two drinks when he had something to do? It's not like that. If he had a drink, there was no need to be so strict! Anyway, Wen Dao's attitude towards Wen Feng was really confusing to Huang Zhang.
"When you come today, I will do my best to serve as a landlord and make His Highness feel at home. Your Highness must stay for a light meal before leaving."
Originally, Huang Zhang was just going to come and thank him and leave, but he couldn't bear Wen Dao's enthusiasm and kindness, so he had to nod.
That night, several large tables were set up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wen Dao's three sons who worked in the court were also present, including Wen Dao's brothers. There were three or four tables, large and small, that were full, but Wen Feng was the only one missing.
Wen Dao didn't care about this either.
The banquet began. First, the elders of the Wen family toasted Huang Zhang one by one, and then the younger members of the Wen family came over one after another.
Originally, Huang Zhang was planning to use his internal energy to stimulate his drinking, but no matter how good his drinking capacity was and how high his internal energy was, he could not withstand the repeated bombardments.
By the end of the drink, almost everyone in the Wen family collapsed on the table. Of course, Huang Zhang was not feeling well either. The remaining wine that he had not forced out of his body also made him dizzy and he walked a little crookedly.
Upon seeing this, Wen Dao immediately arranged for his servants to help Huang Zhang to the guest room to rest.
This is Huang Zhang's first time to rest in someone else's home.
However, at this moment, his whole body condition did not seem suitable for him to fall asleep directly.
In order to relieve his hangover, he used his internal energy to activate the alcohol and excrete it through sweat. Now his whole clothes were soaked. When the maid saw this, she immediately prepared a basin of water for him to take a bath.
However, Huang Zhang has a habit. Unless it is a woman like Hu Yi'er who has had physical contact with him, he doesn't really like to let other women take care of his bathing.
So the drunken Huang Zhang drove all the maids away.
The maids could not quite understand Huang Zhang's inexplicable behavior, but they did not dare to disobey the eldest prince's orders.
But at this moment, when Huang Zhang was lying drunkenly in the bathtub, two graceful figures suddenly appeared outside his guest room.
"Miss, do you really want to see me secretly? If the master finds out, something will happen!"
"What do you know? Rumors about this eldest prince are going crazy in the capital. I finally have a chance to meet him. Let me see what's going on!"
"Can……"
"Shut up, you go and look out for me. If someone comes, you meow like a cat, do you hear me?"
