His Majesty was sitting in the royal study, holding a memorial in his hand, his eyes focused, but his brows could not help but frown.

After a while, he angrily threw the memorial to the ground, making a crisp sound and hitting Eunuch Sun who had just come in.

Eunuch Sun was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, forgive me——"

His Majesty's eyes were cold and he said angrily, "Get up, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Sun stood up tremblingly. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although serving at a close distance is an infinite honor, it is just like living with your head in your belt.

His Majesty sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the prince would be capable of this."

Eunuch Sun picked up the memorial, but did not dare to take a look at it. He quickly put the memorial on the imperial desk, lowered his head, and did not dare to answer the words. Some words could be said, but if he said some words, it would be a serious crime that would lead to beheading.

His Majesty snorted coldly, making people shudder, and said, "The Prime Minister has always been a neutral faction, but he doesn't know what the Prince is capable of. He was just banned for half a month, but he actually provoked the Prime Minister to lead someone to report and ask me to forgive the Prince."

After that, he slapped the table with an extremely distorted expression on his face, "Song Yanxing is really good. He actually won over the Prime Minister and others under my nose."

Eunuch Sun said flatteringly, "The prime minister's allegiance is naturally to your majesty." After that, he rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't the prime minister say that Prince Rui is a malleable talent a few days ago? This does not mean that he is not on both sides. Is the bowl of water flat?"

His Majesty chuckled, looked at Eunuch Sun with satisfaction, and nodded, "You do know how to speak."

"My servant is just reporting what he saw and heard to His Majesty truthfully."

His Majesty nodded, frowned and asked, "By the way, how is Mr. Jiang doing today?"

Eunuch Sun thought for a while, and noticed the expressions of the servants in his house as if the sky had fallen when Jiang Yunsong received the order. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Mr. Jiang was very happy when he received the order."

"Oh?"

"Yes, at that time, the servant was asked to have breakfast in the Jiang Mansion. The servant thought that His Majesty was still waiting for you, so he came back."

Eunuch Sun knows that there are some things that His Majesty does not want to hear, and saying them will only annoy His Majesty in vain. In this case, it is better not to say them.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, His Majesty Longyan was delighted, "Okay, okay, in that case, I will reward you with a lunch."

Eunuch Sun knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty is wise, I thank you for the reward."

……

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Jiang Yunsong sat in the first place, and Song Yanliang sat opposite. Jiang Yunsong looked at him and slowly said, "What is the way of a minister?"

Song Yanliang thought for a while and said, "The way of a monarch and his ministers is that the ministers do things but the king has nothing to do, the king is happy and the ministers work hard. The ministers use their intelligence to do their jobs well, but the king has nothing to do..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Yunsong, "The old minister asked what is the way of a minister, not the way of a monarch."

After that, he said, "If you have things for your ruler and people, you will be pleased with them if you do things for the ruler; if you have people who are in peace with the country and ministers, you will be happy with the country and country; if there are people of heaven and earth, they will be able to do it in the world and then do it." "A great man is one who rectifies himself and then rectifies everything else." After a pause, Jiang Yunsong slowly spoke, "This is the way of a minister."

Song Yanliang suddenly sneered, looked at him and said, "What did the teacher teach His Royal Highness in the early years?"

"Nature is the way to be a king, the emperor's mind."

Song Yanliang played with the scroll in his hand, "Since he was taught the art of the emperor's mind, why was he taught the way of a minister?"

Jiang Yunsong was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is the crown prince and the future monarch, so naturally he should learn how to be a king."

After finishing speaking, Song Yanliang looked at Jiang Yunsong with a half-smile, "Then the teacher means that I will only be a minister in this life?" "Your Majesty, be careful what you say."

Song Yanliang sneered, slapped the table, and said, "I know that you look down on me. This was the case back then. My father clearly asked you to be my teacher first, but you just fell in love with Song Yanxing. But in a roundabout way, So what, you still become my teacher! In that case, you should teach well, and whatever Song Yanxing learned, I will also learn!"

Jiang Yunsong lowered his head and said respectfully, "Forgive me for not obeying my orders. Of course, only future monarchs can learn the emperor's mind. From ancient times to the present, there is no truth like what the prince said."

Song Yanliang stood up suddenly, "Teacher, you have to live a few more years and watch carefully to see who has the last laugh." After that, he turned and left.

Jiang Yunsong looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, "A country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change."

He sighed deeply, packed up his things and returned to Jiang Mansion.

Seeing him coming back, the housekeeper rushed to greet him and said with concern, "Master, has Prince Rui given you any trouble?"

Jiang Yunsong winked at him, and the two entered the study together.

"Although Prince Rui is smart, he has a violent temper. I don't know if this smartness is a blessing or a curse."

"Master, don't think too much. With His Highness the Crown Prince here, I don't expect Prince Rui to make any splash."

Jiang Yunsong shook his head and said, "It's a pity that your Majesty's heart is biased."

……

Song Yanliang returned to the bedroom angrily. At this time, Mo Zhu was cleaning up for him inside. Seeing his unkind expression, he hurried over and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Song Yanliang snorted coldly, "I'm not that old man Jiang Yunsong. He told me to stay safe and do not think about the position that does not belong to me. Then what good is Song Yanxing? It's just because he is the legitimate son. If not, , how could it be his turn to be the crown prince!"

Mo Zhu frowned, "My lord, why don't you go down and deal with Taifu Jiang?"

Song Yanliang looked at Mo Zhu intently and burst into laughter, "If something happens to him right after he leaves my palace, what will everyone in the world think? Wouldn't this king have to bear the crime of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors? ?”

Mo Zhu nodded, "It's my fault, I'm too stupid."

Song Yanliang chuckled, "You are really interesting." If others had said this, he would have been annoyed, but it was just because the person who said this today was Mo Zhu.

He knew in his heart that Mo Zhu had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had little contact with the outside world. Naturally, he didn't understand the twists and turns. However, he liked Mo Zhu's temperament. He had to weigh everything he said in the palace. These days were too tiring. .

He stretched out his hand and pulled the jade pendant turned over at his waist for Mo Zhu. It was a semicircular jade pendant.

"Why do you wear it every day?" Song Yanliang asked.

Mo Zhu looked a little unnatural, turned his head and said, "This is a gift from the prince. I must wear it all the time."

"How long will it last?"

"I will wear it for the rest of my life." Mo Zhu lowered his head and said.

The corners of Song Yanliang's lips raised slightly, and the smile reached into his eyes, and he said, "You have a sweet mouth."

Song Yanliang hooked his waistband, and the tips of Mo Zhu's ears gradually turned red.
