Chapter 66 The Princess

Seeing Chu Zhen fleeing quickly, Chu Xiuhui couldn't help stamping her little feet with an angry expression on her face.

My brother Wang is still so unmotivated, I dare to ask these questions just now to avoid my own lectures.

Stomach trouble, this excuse has been made eight times if not ten times.

What more can she say?
Brother Wang is like this, and his father is not much better.

When she was the emperor, when she first ascended the throne, she felt that her father was quite energetic.

But in less than two months, they don't care about the affairs of the court.

She knew it was because of her grandmother, but she still couldn't bear to see her father being so depraved.

He is the emperor, so can't he be a little tougher?

It's a pity that she is a woman, even if she has the status of princess, she can only show off her prestige in the palace, and it is impossible to say anything in the court.

"Oh, it's my aunt who is the best." Chu Xiuhui couldn't help thinking of her aunt, Princess Ningping, who was the same mother and sister of her father and king.

Princess Ningping Chu Lingyue is a woman, but she has great power in the court. Today's Chu royal family is almost headed by her.

Tian tried to bring down Chu Lingyue many times, but failed.

Chu Lingyue is very popular with Empress Dowager Tian, ​​and she is also very trusted.

Chu Xiuhui admired this aunt from the bottom of her heart.

A woman can do what a man can't.

Think about the men from the royal family of the Chu family, how much backbone fell into the hands of the Tian family.

What's left is either soft bones or rice bags. Isn't it a joke that they want to fight Tian's?

If it wasn't for my aunt to stand up, I don't know how many members of the Chu clan would be left.

In a sense, it was the aunt who protected everyone. If it wasn't for her, the Tian family would be even more rampant.

It was my aunt who carried the banner of the Chu family.

Thinking about her father and brother, Chu Xiuhui could only sigh secretly.

Director Feng, the new chief guard of the palace, took office, and everyone has no objection to this.

Feng Jiang rescued the prince and they all saw it with their own eyes.

What does it matter if you are young?
Just be strong enough.

To Feng Jiang's surprise, his annual salary was not 1000 taels, nor 800 taels, but 2000 taels.

I have to say that the princess is still very generous.

He learned from some guards in the palace that the chief guard of the palace like Wangfu usually pays around 800 taels a year.

Xu Jianxi is considered to be at the top of many palaces.

Now it doubles directly, which has to be surprising.

After Xu Jianxi resigned from the position of the chief guard, he became the chief steward of the palace, managing the affairs of the palace, with 2000 taels a year.

This is the princess's reward for him.

It is also a blessing for the master to have a loyal subordinate who protects the master.

Feng Jiang knew that the princess did this to show the other guards and reassure them.

The palace will not treat them badly.

Three days later, in the hall, the Princess was sitting first, and Feng Jiang and Xu Jianxi were sitting below.

Xu Jianxi's face was still a little pale, but with the full support of the princess, the palace did not hesitate to help him purchase all kinds of rare medicinal materials for healing, which made his injury recover a lot.

The heart was stabbed, and it took only three days to move.

Of course, this also has something to do with him being a member of the Jianghu. True Qi healing also has a good effect on the recovery of injuries.

"Housekeeper Xu, continue talking, slowly, don't worry." The Princess looked at Xu Jianxi and said.

Prime Minister Chu Dan and heir son Chu Zhen are basically not in charge, and now Chu Xiuhui is in charge.

"The subordinates will gradually become familiar with the affairs of the mansion. Please rest assured, the princess, that the mansion must be well organized." Xu Jianxi said, "The most important thing right now is the lack of guards in our mansion."

"Are you recruiting guards?" The princess nodded slightly.

After that assassination, the casualties were so heavy that the palace didn't have many guards left.

"Director Feng will be responsible for this matter." Xu Jianxi laughed.

"Steward Xu, I hope you can give me some advice on recruiting guards. I'm new here and I don't have enough experience," Feng Jiang said.

"Butler Xu, what do you think?"

"It's my duty, I can talk to Director Feng later about the things to pay attention to." Xu Jianxi said.

Feng Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He has no experience in this field, and with Xu Jianxi at the side giving advice, I believe the problem is not serious.

Now he is the chief guard of the palace, and he is solely responsible for the safety of the palace.

It can be said that Feng Jiang now has great power in the palace, but it also means great responsibility.

If there is any safety issue with the prince, he should be the first to ask.

Therefore, Feng Jiang did not dare to be careless.

In the process of recruiting, if someone with a plot to do something wrong gets mixed in, it will be a big trouble.

"There's one more thing." Feng Jiang hesitated for a moment, and explained his doubts about Gao Yaofeng.

He is now going to look at the problem from the standpoint of the palace.

Gao Yaofeng is definitely a hidden danger, he has to guard against it.

"On the surface, he belongs to the imperial court." Chu Xiuhui snorted coldly, "Who does he belong to secretly? Anyway, he is not from the palace."

"Princess, there is no evidence at the moment. After all, he is the commander appointed by the court." Xu Jianxi frowned slightly.

"That's the trouble." Chu Xiuhui sighed, "It's easy to want his life, but it's not easy to deal with the aftermath. Especially the group behind him must make a fuss about it."

Feng Jiang knew that Gao Yaofeng was behind Tian's instigation.

It's hard to do without solid evidence.

"If there is no evidence, find a way to get him some evidence." Feng Jiang said.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Xu Jianxi shook his head and said, "This assassination, he should know that he has shown his feet, and I'm afraid he won't make any moves in a short time. It's impossible to catch his evidence."

"What good plan does Manager Feng have?" Chu Xiuhui asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Feng Jiang replied, "But I wonder if the Sheriff's Mansion will bring us some news?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, three days are up, they should give me an explanation." Chu Xiuhui raised her eyebrows, "It's almost noon, and there's still no movement? The old guy won't be sloppy with me, right? "

"Not at all." Xu Jianxi smiled, "No matter what the result is, they will definitely come and report to the prince."

Chu Xiuhui smiled, that's true.

Forgive them for not daring not to come.

"Princess, Steward Xu, I wonder which faction this county guard, Mr. Yang, belongs to?" Feng Jiang asked.

This is critical.

He had a vague idea, it still depends on which faction this Lord Yang belongs to.

"As far as we know, Mr. Yang doesn't rely on anyone, he is neutral." Xu Jianxi said.

"Yang Yuze is an official, and his official reputation is good. Chang'an's law and order was indeed good before, and it was his credit." Chu Xiuhui also said, "Speaking of it, he can't be blamed for this assassination. But we came here On the ground, no matter what, you have to show them off, or they will be underestimated?"

Feng Jiang smiled.

The princess is right to do so.

Knowing that the county guard Yang Yuze was neutral, Feng Jiang felt that the following plan was probably feasible.

"His Royal Highness, Chang'an County Governor Yang Yuze, Mr. Yang, please see me." A servant's report sounded from outside.

"Look, Cao Cao is coming." Chu Xiuhui said with a grin.
