Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 251 Seeing Cui Wenyuan Again

Li Xin suddenly became a little stiff. Fortunately, at this time, someone climbed up the steps of the door of the household and was about to walk in, and happened to see Li Xin standing at the door. The other party called out and said, "His Royal Highness Chu?" As soon as the words fell, he hurriedly prepared to salute.

Li Xin took a closer look and found that this person was actually an acquaintance of his own—Cui Wenyuan who had come to Chu Palace to ask him about double-entry bookkeeping, and was almost forced to leave by "a majestic temple in the mountains". He waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."

Cui Wenyuan stopped his movements and asked strangely: "What is your Highness doing here?"

"Come to take office, but..." Li Xin didn't know how to explain it. After all, for those who don't know what happened in court that day, the post of "consultant" doesn't know where to start. Most of them will be dismissed as liars or scoundrels, right?

But Li Xin ignored one point. When the gatekeeper of the household department's yamen heard Cui Wenyuan call Li Xin "His Royal Highness Chu", his face changed a little.

After all, Cui Wenyuan is the head of the household department, and he often goes in and out of the yamen, and the concierge knows him. How could he casually call an irrelevant person "His Royal Highness Chu" at the gate of the household department?

Thinking of this, the concierge became a little nervous. He actually stopped a real prince? And the name "King of Chu" sounds familiar. It seems like a lawless master

Fortunately, there was no displeasure on Li Xin's face, which made the porter a little relieved.

Cui Wenyuan asked suspiciously: "His Highness the King of Chu came to take office in the household department?"

Li Xin smiled wryly and planned to explain it carefully, but he heard the concierge tremblingly saying: "Why don't the two masters go in and talk? You don't have to stand." After thinking about it, he still felt that the two adults It would be even more sinful to continue standing outside the yamen, so he boldly opened his mouth and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Cui Wenyuan glanced at the concierge, who immediately responded with a flattering smile.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, then I'll go in first."

"My lord, please go ahead." The porter said with a bow and bow, his attitude was very respectful, as if he wanted to make up for his mistake of stopping Li Xin before, for fear of being held accountable. However, he actually thought too much. Although Li Xin is not very big-minded, he is not so small. After all, what the concierge did just now was also conscientious, so why bother with others?

So, Li Xin and Cui Wenyuan walked to the Yamen.

The two walked across the gravel road in the front yard, talking about the reason why Li Xin came to the household department to take up the post while walking. After hearing Li Xin's statement, Cui Wenyuan remembered the moderate turmoil in the court a few days ago. His rank is not high, and he doesn't usually go to court, so what happened at the court meeting is only heard from other people's mouths, and he doesn't remember it clearly.

"It turns out that the guy who was fighting with the Confucianists that day and taught the civil and military lessons of the Manchu Dynasty was actually the prince." Cui Wenyuan smiled wryly and shook his head, as if recalling his experience of being "made things difficult" by Li Xin. He couldn't help but said to himself in his heart: "It's not good to provoke anyone, but to provoke this master, why don't you make your heads full?" When others also suffer from Li Xin, I feel inexplicably quite happy in my heart.

Li Xin quickly waved his hands, and said in panic: "No, no, don't talk nonsense, why have I been taught a lesson in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, I am not that capable." Is it okay to spread this word?

Cui Wenyuan laughed twice.

Li Xin also smiled. It has to be said that Cui Wenyuan has been very different from before after experiencing the big case in Shandong. He no longer had the arrogant arrogance that he had at that time, but became calm and introverted.

"How are you doing recently? How are you doing?" Li Xin asked casually.

Cui Wenyuan froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do, just dawdle."

At that time, he and Wang Wenjian "voluntarily exposed" the crimes of their respective families. In the eyes of a large number of people who don't know why they eat melons, they are simply the chief culprits in the big case in Shandong. At that time, the case involved so many people in the two families, how could people who were close to these people give them any good looks? This is what Cui Wang and his wife had expected from the beginning.

Although the behavior of the two was the result of joint discussions between the emperor and the family's high-level officials, no one would explain so much inside information to their two insignificant pawns, not to mention that these inside information are basically nothing that can be revealed to the outside world.

As a result, the two were marginalized within the family. Although not everyone yells and beats, but wherever they go, there are eyes that cannot be avoided. The family's resources are no longer tilted towards the two of them, and their official careers have basically come to an end. The rest, of course, is just dawdling.
