Huang Ting left, but his words still lingered in Chen Xiaoting's mind.

Now that Chen Xiaoting had some understanding of the personalities of the two princes, he naturally preferred the relatively lenient Zhu Xiuyin in his heart.

Huang Ting said that Zhu Xiulin valued him, which was not entirely a lie, because Zhu Xiuyin had tried to win over Chen Xiaoting several times before, but he declined them all.

After all, at that time, the emperor's authority was overwhelming, and Chen Xiaoting did not dare to get involved with Zhu Xiuyin.

While she was deep in thought, Shen Yi walked out of the back hall again. She listened to all the conversation between her husband and Huang Ting.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help closing his eyes, stroking his forehead and saying: "Madam, what do you think...how should I choose a husband?"

Shen Yi slowly came up behind her husband and placed her emerald-green hand on Chen Xiaoting's temple. While rubbing it, she said, "Husband... I don't know anything about national affairs. Only your husband can make the final decision!"

"But no matter what your husband decides, I will follow you!"

These words were quite emotional and reminded Chen Xiaoting of the time when he was framed by Yue Menghao in Luyang.

At that time, Shen Yi also never gave up!

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wife's hand, then turned around and said: "Madam...it's time to rest!"

It's already late at night, and under the bright moon in the capital city, the undercurrent has begun to surge, and I don't know when it will break through the night.

Of course, most people don't feel the undercurrent, so to them nothing changes and the sun rises as usual the next day.

On August 29, the 26th year of Yongzhi's reign, the sun was shining brightly in the morning.

Chen Xiaoting got up early in the morning. Everyone else was still asleep. Only Shen Yi had breakfast with him.

Later he will go to Beizhen Fusi to unite the minds of his subordinates. If he cannot control the Jin Yiwei, his life will be even more difficult.

But his meal was destined to be unsatisfactory.

"Master, there is a visitor coming from outside the house. They say they have something important to discuss with the master!" the housekeeper stood at the door and reported.

At this moment, Shen Yi also raised his head, secretly wondering if he was here to lobby again.

"Please come in!" Chen Xiaoting said helplessly, he could not refuse anyone at this time.

After a while, a bearded man was seen walking in under the leadership of the housekeeper, his expression looking particularly arrogant.

Just this glance left a bad impression in Chen Xiaoting's heart.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhiyuan, is the commander of the bodyguards at Prince Wu's Mansion. On orders from His Highness, Prince Wu, I have come here to convey a few words to Mr. Chen!"

The commander of the bodyguards in Prince Wu's Mansion must be Zhu Xiulin's confidant. No wonder this person is so arrogant.

Once Zhu Xiulin succeeds to the throne, his meteoric rise will be just around the corner. He naturally has the capital to be arrogant.

"What does His Highness King Wu want from me?" Chen Xiaoting asked calmly.

Chen Xiaoting was not humble, which made Wang Zhiyuan feel very unhappy. He was someone close to King Wu.

But after all, business was important, so Wang Zhiyuan said: "His Royal Highness said that Mr. Chen would be invited to come to the palace. He has important matters to discuss with you!"

Zhu Xilin's statement was relatively euphemistic, but his intention to win over was very obvious.

"His Highness said that Mr. Chen is the pillar of the country. At this critical moment, the court needs you!"

Another solicitation reminded Chen Xiaoting of Huang Ting's words last night, so his heart, which had just calmed down, began to get entangled again.

Should we side with Zhu Xiulin or Zhu Xiuyin? This is a question that can kill people.

"Master Chen, look..."

"Go back and report to His Highness King Wu that there are important matters in the Yamen. After the ministers have been dealt with, they will come to the palace to listen to instructions!" Chen Xiaoting said solemnly.

He used the same method as last night... dragging.

Although it may not lead to a good outcome, Chen Xiaoting has firmly decided to go south, so that's all.

But in Wang Zhiyuan's eyes, Chen Xiaoting didn't appreciate it, so Wang Zhiyuan asked coldly: "Master Chen, what is more important than the prince summoning you?"

"The prince didn't ask you to ask this, right?" Chen Xiaoting's tone was equally cold.

Such an idiot doesn't even know what he is here for, so Chen Xiaoting will naturally not give him too much face.

Who is Chen Xiaoting? He is a dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards. At this moment, the official power burst out, and Wang Zhiyuan was so shocked that he did not dare to say a word.

After snorting coldly, Wang Zhiyuan left quickly, presumably going back to complain.

If Zhu Xiulin was really that stingy, Chen Xiaoting would never consider following him.

Therefore, on the one hand, he is waiting for the price, and on the other hand, he is testing Zhu Xiulin.

It sounds very funny. Chen Xiaoting, a minister, actually wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination for a dignified prince.

But Chen Xiaoting had to do this. He was prejudiced against Zhu Xiulin, which further tested Zhu Xiulin's mind.

At this moment, Shen Yi said worriedly at the side: "Husband, will everything be okay?"

No matter what, he couldn't make his wife worry, so Chen Xiaoting smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well!"

Soon, Chen Xiaoting finished eating and then went to the inner hall to change clothes.

"Madam, we don't need this thing, right?" Chen Xiaoting looked dissatisfied and helpless as he watched Shen Yi put the soft armor on herself.

Shen Yi began to put on her husband's clothes and said at the same time: "It's not peaceful now. You have to protect yourself when you go out. We all look forward to your safe return!"

Shen Yi said this, so Chen Xiaoting had no reason to refuse, so he just wore soft armor.

After finishing wearing his official uniform, Chen Xiaoting picked up his saber and hurried towards the gate of the mansion slowly.

Yang Kai personally led dozens of people, waiting outside the gate of Chen Mansion.

In addition to the mansion, Chen Xiaoting took the reins from Yang Kai and jumped onto the horse's back.

"Walk!"

Chen Xiaoting shouted, and all his men immediately followed him and rushed towards the direction of Beizhen Fusi.

At this moment, all gates in the capital have been sealed off, which has had an impact on the lives of the people in the city, but fortunately, activities can continue within the capital.

After rushing to Beizhen Fusi, many people had gathered inside, but most of them were Chen Xiaoting's cronies.

For example, Feng Wengui, a member of a thousand households in Nancheng, and Niu Jingyun, a deputy member of a thousand households in Beicheng...

When these people saw Chen Xiaoting coming in from the outside, they immediately came up to greet him and saluted Chen Xiaoting one after another.

"See my lord!"

"Excuse me!"

After everyone got up, anxiety could be seen on their faces. They all knew what happened yesterday.

Therefore, they are very interested in today's discussion and want to know Chen Xiaoting's attitude towards these matters. Only when they have a position can they find a way forward.

"Let's go in first!" Chen Xiaoting didn't say much, but took the lead to walk into the lobby.

The emperor asked him to take charge of the Imperial Guards, so he went to the Commander's Hall, not to mention that today he wanted to centralize power.

As they walked, Chen Xiaoting said: "Do you know, what is the first important thing when you want to buy something at a good price?"

This sudden question left everyone present scratching their heads as to how it got involved in selling things.

But some people still cheered and said: "I thought that the seller would raise the price!"

This person was none other than Jiao Furong, who had been promoted to Deputy Qianhu.

Chen Xiaoting glanced at everyone, and when no one spoke again, he said: "If you want to sell something at a good price, first of all, it must be good!"

If they want to buy a good price for Jin Yiwei, they must show their own value.

So how should we reflect our value? Naturally, we need to prove our power to influence the current situation. Nothing big can be achieved by doing it in pieces.

"Today's discussion is about this, you should think more about it in your hearts first!"
