Coming out of Qianqing Palace, Hu Guan was completely confused.
He just couldn't understand. The inexplicable promotion could be said to be a favor, but what did it mean to let him go to Jinyiwei Zhenfusi?
The emperor just issued another decree, adding another supervisor to the original personnel to supervise the case of King Zhou, and he was Hu Guan.
"How the hell am I going to solve the case?" Hu Guan sighed in his heart.
It doesn't matter whether he can solve the case or not, what matters is that Zhu Yunxi is testing him.
Blue Eyes itself is a highly sophisticated secret guard organization, and it does not necessarily need a pioneering leader. What it needs is someone who can control the organization and is absolutely loyal.
Hu Guan is not as smart as Li Jinglong, and he is not as decisive in killing in a broad sense.
But a noble child who comes from a noble family will never be that stupid. Whether it is hospitality or the methods of governing, he has been exposed to it since childhood. What he lacks is the opportunity to exercise and grow.
Besides, his stupidity is not a bad thing.
A knife that is too sharp can easily hurt its owner. Hu Guan, a stupid man, can hide his clumsiness with blue eyes.
Just like that, I left the palace in a daze. As soon as I arrived outside the Meridian Gate, I saw my carriage and Princess Nankang who was about to get on the carriage.
~~
"Have you just met the emperor, my consort?" Princess Nankang asked as she and Hu Guan were in the same car.
"Yeah!" Hu Dian nodded.
Seeing that his expression was very bad, Princess Nankang asked, "What did the emperor say?"
"That's not much to say!" Hu Guan hesitated for a moment, then explained the task assigned to him by the emperor again.
Princess Nankang thought for a while and said with a smile, "Isn't it a good thing to be reused? Why are you still looking so sad?"
"Aren't I afraid?" Hu Guan said, "Who are the people supervising this case? Li Jinglong, Zhang Zhen, Bao Zhao, Xin Yande, what else can I say... What if I show my cowardice? What should I do? Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to the emperor and to you?”
Princess Nankang looked at him quietly, "Aren't you afraid of offending others?"
"When you are on an errand for the emperor, you will be offended if you offend others." Hu Guan smiled bitterly, "The emperor is heaven, and everything must be obeyed by the emperor. Not to mention offending people, don't you have to do it even if you kill someone?"
I'm not really that stupid!
Princess Nankang felt happy and said with a smile, "As long as you are not afraid of offending others, there is nothing to fear!" As she said this, she leaned closer and said, "I tell you, we Zhu family men are all a little narrow-minded."
"Ah?" Hu Guan was stunned.
"Do you know what troubles them most?" Princess Nankang asked again.
Hu Guan thought for a while, "Corruption?"
Princess Nankang immediately curled her lips, pinched the other party's ears, and whispered, "Join a gang, be clever, hide something, deliberately perfunctory." Then she lowered her voice, "How did Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and the others fall? Gangs!”
"It's just a crony!" Hu Guan understood and said.
"When you work for our Zhu family emperor, just remember one thing. Listen to him and do your best. Even if you are stupid, it doesn't matter." Princess Nankang said again, "Just like your old man, Li Shan grew up at the beginning. Wasn’t he also involved in the case? But why did he get away in the end? Do you really think it was our marriage? Li Shanchang is the eldest sister’s father-in-law, and the eldest sister is the eldest daughter, much more valuable than me!”
"Is that because...?" Hu Guan thought about it and said, "When our old man was alive, he actually didn't pay much attention to other people. Not to mention Li and Hu, they didn't move around much even in the circle of nobles. It's not like that Like other people, they are thinking hard about marriage and relationships, and they don’t ask for this or that from the Supreme Emperor! They don’t do one thing in front of his face or behind his back.”
"Yes, that's why!" Princess Nankang whispered again, "So when you work for the emperor in the future, please remember this. Listen to the emperor in everything, and you will never make a mistake!" After that, he continued hurriedly, "
You also have to be strict with your mouth!”
"I have the strictest mouth. I have never told anyone else about anything that has come into my ears these years!" Hu Guan smiled, "Of course, except for you!"
"If it really involves doing something for the emperor, please don't tell me anything in the future. It's a shame!" Princess Nankang said with a smile.
"How can that be done? You are my girl. If I don't tell you, who can I talk to?" Hu Guan said with a smile, "Besides, even if I don't say anything, what if I dream about it at night and talk nonsense?"
Princess Nankang felt sweet in her heart, leaning on her husband and smiling, "Then we will sleep in separate rooms from now on!"
"That won't work!" Hu Guan hugged his wife and whispered, "I still want the fourth and fifth child... If you don't do that, you won't even have the taste of food!"
Princess Nankang laughed and scolded, "Smelly virtue!"
At this moment, Hu Guan suddenly remembered something, "Hey, where is the third child in our family?"
"The old man is staying in the palace. I will go home and take the eldest and second child in too!" Princess Nankang said with a smile, "It's rare that the old man is in a good mood today and wants to meet his grandchildren."
"Then I have to get off the car!" Hu Guan slapped his forehead, "Aren't we on the same road?"
"Where are you going?" Princess Nankang asked.
"Go..." After saying that, Hu Guan paused and then said, "Where are you going? Don't ask me, ladies!"
"Hey!" Princess Nankang laughed, "But it started to tremble, so majestic!"
~~
Hu Guan got out of the carriage and changed his horse. Without any entourage, he walked in a circle towards Fusi, Jinyiwei Town.
They, the noble children, have a very complicated view of the Jin Yiwei. On the one hand, they have seen how the Jin Yiwei captured heroes in those years. But on the other hand, some of them have carried the Jin Yiwei's worldly duties with them since they were born.
"The supervisor of the King Zhou case!" Hu Guan pondered on horseback, "I don't have to ask questions or decide the case, but I have to remember clearly what the prisoner said, and then think about whether there is anything fishy in it, and look back.
Tell the emperor five to ten..."
Just as he was thinking about it, a man suddenly appeared on the street corner ahead, standing on a horse.
The four people looked at each other, and the man opposite smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I met the Prince Consort here!"
"It turns out to be Cao Guogong!" Hu Guan handed over his hand, "Where are you going?"
Li Jinglong also didn't bring any followers and was still wearing casual clothes. The two horses were close and lined up.
"The Prince Consort has just come out of the palace?" Li Jinglong did not answer the other party's words, but spoke subconsciously.
"No! I'm ready to go home!" Hu Guan was stupid, but he was not heartless. Especially when facing people like Li Jinglong, who he was extra cautious about, he was on guard from the beginning.
Strangely enough, he envied Li Jinglong, but he didn't like dealing with such a person.
"Isn't your mansion over there?" Li Jinglong pointed to the other side and smiled.
Hu Guan smiled and patted the war horse's neck, "Isn't this just for it? The best Hetao horse can't move even a few steps after following me all day long. If I don't take a good stroll, the horse will be useless!"
"It's just one horse. I'll give the Prince Consort a few more horses later!" Li Jinglong laughed.
"No, no reward for no merit, I couldn't sleep well all night with your Jade Guanyin!" Hu Guan said with a smile.
"Oh, you haven't seen anything before!" Li Jinglong looked down on the other party in his heart.
Not only did he look down on him, but in fact they, the second-generation noble circle, looked down upon Hu Guan to some extent. He had been a lump in the tree since he was a child, and he couldn't poke a fart out of him. If he hadn't been lucky enough to marry a princess,
Now at most I can just be a rich man at home.
He said this in his heart, but said something else in his mouth, "Look, I told you this for your children, but you are too careful!"
Hu Guan adjusted the buttons on his cloak with his big hands, and when he turned a corner, he saw the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi. He cupped his hands and said, "Um... I'll ride out of the city and sneak away. I'll see you later, Duke Cao!"
"Prince-in-law, walk slowly!"
Li Jinglong reined in his horse and stopped where he was. Seeing Hu Guan walking away, he looked around again, turned his horse's head and went straight into the long street where the Zhenfu Division was located.
