Everyone in the yard went to greet Huang Chengyuan. Zhu Xu in the lobby did not move at all, holding a wine glass, smiling calmly.

When Liu Rushi saw that Zhu Xu did not move, she did not get up, with more smiles in her eyes and a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

Chen Zilong had already stood up, turned around and looked at Zhu Xu and Liu Rushi not moving, with a slightly cold expression, and hesitated to walk towards the door.

Huang Chengyuan did not come alone, and there were also the governor's yamen participating in politics, senators, five or six people, and the entourage he brought, the scene was quite grand, which gave enough face to Yang Fengzhong, the old and innocent figure.

Yang Fengzhong looked at so many people coming together, looked overjoyed, and raised his hand and said, "My mother, my mother's small birthday party, I really didn't expect you to come. It's so glorious..."

Yang Fengzhong is really happy. What scholars care about the most is "Qingming" and to be simple, it is good face. Huang Chengyuan is able to come so many people, which undoubtedly gives him the greatest face!

In the officialdom, such a birthday party is also very symbolic, marking his importance and stability in Shandong!

"I've met Mr. Huang..."

A group of people followed and raised their hands. The scene was extremely lively, just like Huang Chengyuan was celebrating his birthday.

Huang Chengyuan smiled and said, "You are kind to you, Lord Yang. I am a newcomer to the mountain. I have also come to the east. I have to rely on Lord Yang for many things. Ling Ci has passed his birthday, so how can I not come? This is a picture of the longevity immortals I drew myself. Please don't dislike him."

For those who have reached the level of Huang Chengyuan, the birthday gift can no longer show his identity, and the greatest sincerity of a person is his arrival.

Yang Fengzhong took it with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Huang's painting is also awesome in my Ming Dynasty. How dare you dislike me? Please, please, please, you have already arranged the best elegant seat for you."

Huang Chengyuan nodded with a smile, raised his foot and walked inside.

"Li Chanzheng, gifts...5000 documents..."

Everyone was about to surround Huang Chengyuan and walked inside, the gift recipient behind him shouted intermittently, which made everyone stop unable to stop.

When you have reached your identity, you naturally can’t give away money. Those who can come here today will not do such a thing. But it happened, and it was given by the governor’s left and right leaders!

Yang Fengzhong's face changed slightly, and he turned his head, his face was thin and tough as if he was cut by a knife, his eyes were calm and he had no emotion at all.

But this also shows his emotions. When this situation occurs at this time, he is slapping him in the face hard, making him look ugly!

The recipients were also shocked. There were many banquets in Yang's house, and they had never given such a small gift. The official rank was even older than their master, and the political participation was given by the great master!

Before he could react, he came forward alone, lowered a red invitation and could vaguely see several silver notes.

The recipient took it and looked at it. His hands trembled, and he looked at the people left and right. As the group of people watched, he said in a trembling voice, "Zhou Guanzheng...5000 articles..."

Everyone suddenly stopped and looked at each other. If it were a person, it would be understandable to give Yang Fengzhong a slap in the face. It would be very problematic for those who participated in politics to come together.

Yang Fengzhong was angry, and there was still no expression on his face. The good mood he had just now disappeared. He was already wondering when he had offended these two people and what to do to be appropriate.

"My." One person came up and handed a red invitation. There were a few silver notes vaguely mixed in it.

As soon as he appeared, everyone's expressions changed slightly, their eyes flashed, and even whispered.

"It's Senator Han. I heard that he is the same year as Lord Yang..."

"By the way, he was recommended by Governor Huang to the Ministry of Personnel, and he is Lord Huang's confidant..."

"It's also a few silver notes. How much does he have to pay? It won't be five hundred quotas..."

"Is it what the governor meant? I deliberately made Lord Yang ugly and suppress this local snake..."

"Impossible, didn't Governor Huang give him a gift? There is no need to do it so obviously, right?"

As the group of people whispered to each other, Yang Fengzhong looked at Huang Chengyuan with a gloomy face and looked at him with anger. Seeing that his expression was still unchanged, his eyes became colder, and he turned to look at the servant who was receiving the gift.

Under his gaze, the servant opened the invitation tremblingly, looked up, looked left and right, then looked at Yang Fengzhong, and said tremblingly: "Senator Han, 300 articles..."

Everyone present took a breath, and many people quietly retreated.

The current configuration of the Governor's yamen is to be a Governor, who is participating in politics and senatorship, and there are five people. Three of them have come out to make Yang Fengzhong ugly. Isn't this saying that the Governor's yamen wants to make Yang Fengzhong look good?

Yang Fengzhong's face was completely gloomy and terrible. The anger in his heart was hard to contain. Just as he was about to speak, the last senator stepped forward and smiled with a silver note: "I don't know where the invitation was lost. The salary was too small and the dealings were too much. I also had three hundred documents. This was also inquired. A while ago, Mr. Chu celebrated his birthday and decided to receive up to three hundred documents. The court also stipulated that he could not have a large banquet and accept gifts. I hope Lord Yang would forgive me..."

These words are all sets of things, and they are all big truths, but no one present understands that the court’s regulations are one thing, and actual human relationships are another!

Yang Fengzhong's eyes were stern, his face twitched slightly, and he looked straight at Huang Chengyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Governor Huang, I asked myself that I had not offended the Governor's Office, why did I make such a joke with me? If I don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will go to the capital to find the cabinet tomorrow. The six ministries asked if I could insult the officials at will at will. If they don't give me, I will kneel in front of the Meridian Gate and wait for the emperor to come and explain it to me!"

This sentence is extremely powerful, and everyone was shocked to hear it.

Huang Chengyuan's expression was faint. He knew that from the emperor to the cabinet and the six ministries, he didn't like the people who caused trouble now. Yang Fengzhong really wanted to go, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to come back. Besides, the emperor was in Ji Nan, and it would be useless if you kneel for a long time.

He looked at Yang Fengzhong, then looked at the others, and with his hands behind his back, exuding a faint official power, saying, "What does Lord Yang mean? Do you think they have less gifts? Tell me, I will ask them to prepare, and I will make up for you Lord Yang."

Everyone really retreated this time. Governor Huang's words were tough and he wanted to completely break up with Yang Fengzhong!

Yang Fengzhong has been in Ji Nan for many years, and his relationship network is complicated. He is also a leading figure in Qingliu, and his strength cannot be underestimated. Huang Chengyuan, who is a newcomer, fights him in Ji Nan for him. It is really not certain who wins and who loses!

Yang Fengzhong is the kind of person who breaks his legs and would rather die than kneel down. Listening to Huang Chengyuan's words, a burst of anger surged in his heart and said coldly, "The officials from the Governor's yamen don't care about the gifts and cash, please take them back. My Yang family's gate can't tolerate Governor Huang, please go back!"

Huang Chengyuan looked at Yang Fengzhong, wondering if he could realize anything, and said expressionlessly: "Since Lord Yang is going to drive the guests, then I will say goodbye."

"That official also said goodbye..."

"Goodbye..."

"Let's go..."

As soon as Huang Chengyuan left, several of them participated in politics, so the senators naturally would not stay. They turned around and walked towards the door without hesitation.

Everyone present was worried. The governor of the Shandong and the Eastern Governor wanted to fight against Ji and Nan prefect, and it was still unknown who would suffer and who would win. The poor ones were the little fish and shrimps.

Chen Zilong watched from the side, frowned, and was tired of his heart. He was eager to clear the government and create an ideal government bureau. He was becoming more and more intense and urgent.

"Bring your stuff!"

Yang Fengzhong looked gloomy and stared at Huang Chengyuan and others coldly and said.

Huang Chengyuan paused slightly. Although he was not a person who was spitting on his face, he still had this kind of patience. He turned around and reached out to the table next to him, took his paintings, and the other political and senators took back their silver notes.

But they did not leave, but looked at Yang Fengzhong and the people behind them one by one.

The people they were staring at were all creepy and bowed their heads, and then some people bit the bullet and left.

"Well, Lord Yang, the lower official suddenly remembered that there were still some things in the yamen, so he said goodbye in a hurry..."

"I remembered that there is an urgent matter at home. Lord Yang, say goodbye..."

"Together, there are urgent matters in my family..."

There are one and two, and there are more than a dozen people in a flash, and the number is still increasing rapidly.

Huang Chengyuan is the boss of Shandong, and how many people can withstand his gaze.

His eyes were not just a casual look, but he wanted to take sides. If he still stayed here today, he would be against the entire governor's yamen. The place with the greatest power in the east!

The originally lively Yang Mansion soon became deserted, and most of the guests had left one after another.

Yang Fengzhong's face was pulled out fiercely, and his thin face was as cold as a knife. His whole body was so cold that he was terrifyingly cold, his eyes flashed with sharp and cold light.

Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and didn't move. After all, he was not familiar with Huang Chengyuan and was still in the same white clothes, so he was not afraid of him for the time being.

But after he glanced at the sight of his eyes, there were only three or five officials from Shandong and Jinan who dared to stay!

The officialdom is so realistic, and the senior official level is crushed to death!

Zhu Xu and Liu Rushi did not go to greet Huang Chengyuan. They sat in the lobby. Although they could not hear clearly, they could see it roughly.

Liu Rushi turned to look at Zhu Xu, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, do you want to leave here too?"

Zhu Xu could hear a hint of cramp and temptation in Liu Rushi's words. He laughed and looked at Huang Chengyuan who had already left and said, "I'll give you a reminder. Huang Chengyuan should be polite when he sees me. In this way... how much can you guess my identity?"

Liu Rushi's expression moved slightly. The more smiles on Zhu Xu's face were, he looked up and down, then turned around and said with a serious reasoning look: "Brother Zhu looks about twenty years old. The emperor should be sixteen this year. His surname is Zhu, not a royal family, he is in Shandong. He is everywhere to understand the people's sentiments. He doesn't care when he sees Governor Huang. With such ambition, he is afraid that only the people around the emperor have such courage..."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he squeezed his chin and felt a little whispered in his heart: 'I am indeed sixteen this year, and I am a 20-darling...'

Liu Rushi said without stopping, and continued to look at Zhu Xu, with his eyes flashing, "The emperor now likes to appoint young people, and is mysterious and rarely shows up. It is not surprising that Brother Zhu is the emperor's close letter... Brother Zhu should be investigating the people's sentiments and officialdom for the emperor, right?"

Zhu Xu raised his head, smiling without saying a word. Liu Rushi walked into a dead end from the beginning, and he could not guess his identity.

Zhu Xu looked at the sky, and before he could turn around, Liu Rushi suddenly approached and said in a rather ambiguous manner: "Brother Zhu, there is only one noble man in the harem of the emperor until now. People outside have been rumored that the emperor likes male style, Brother Zhu, you..."

Zhu Xu's mouth twitched. Since he ascended the throne, all kinds of rumors have never stopped. This has only emerged in recent years.

This is also one of the reasons why Queen Mother Zhang, Concubine Liu and others were anxious to choose a concubine for him and the last one.

Chen Zilong happened to turn his head and look over. Seeing the two of them in this posture, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were blazing fire.

Liu Rushi saw Zhu Xu's expression, immediately opened his eyes wide, sat back, and said awkwardly: "Brother Zhu, little sister is speechless..."

‘When you go back, you must investigate it strictly…’

Zhu Xu's mouth twitched again, and the rumors killed people.

Yang Fengzhong watched Huang Chengyuan leave gloomyly, with only a few people left behind, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Although he was very angry, Yang Fengzhong still understood that he could no longer afford to worry about his age. This time he offended Huang Chengyuan and the governor's yamen. He had to deal with it early and go further. Otherwise, if there was a saying in the history books: "Qiang is rich, borrow money, and you can receive gifts from your mother. The gifts are too young to drive the governor, and then he will have the heart to die!

If he wants to solve the problem, he can only go further. He must achieve a higher official position than Huang Chengyuan and let the history writer stand on his side!

Now he doesn't care whether his mother's birthday is coming. He regained his mood, walked back to the lobby, and walked towards Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu stood up reluctantly. Before he could speak, Yang Fengzhong smiled and said, "I'll make my nephew laugh. The officialdom in Shandong is so dirty. I will come to Beijing tomorrow. I must talk to Mr. Lu for good life."

Zhu Xu didn't know where Yang Fengzhong wanted to fight a time difference and go to the capital to engage in activities, and said calmly: "That's going to bother Lord Yang. That, the emperor's fleet is about to go south, and I have some things to prepare for, so... I'll say goodbye."

Everyone was exposed, so the birthday party naturally couldn't continue, but from Zhu Xu's words, Yang Fengzhong heard more important news. Zhu Muyu could see the emperor! He was the one who went south with the emperor's fleet!

The emperor today is very mysterious. After six years of ascending the throne, there are only a handful of court discussions. All those who can see him are confidants. For the officials in the capital, this is even more so for them, outside the capital!
