With Princess Changle's praise, Emperor Sima Zhou became interested in Chen Ning.

Then, Sima Zhou asked Princess Changle to rest well. He left the room and did not return to the palace, but asked Xu Chong to directly send someone to investigate Chen Ning.

Before waiting for too long, Chen Ning's basic information was learned by Sima Zhou.

"He was actually recognized by Meng Daru, Xun Qing and countless great scholars, and praised as the leaders of Confucianism and Taoism in the future!"

"Stand up your mind for the heaven and earth, set your destiny for the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages! Well said! This is indeed a kind of character that only scholars have!"

"Not only is it skilled in martial arts, but it is also resourceful. The conspiracy between Wang Xiao and Sima Jiong was discovered by him!"

"His uncle is indeed Li Yuanxiao, and he sacrificed his life to save Sima Haiyun, so he gained the trust of the Southeast Prince's Mansion! In a few years, he will definitely be a powerful general!"

"This talent is eighteen years old, and it is exactly the talent I need!"

Sima Zhou was surprised after reading the information, and then asked Xu Chongzhi: "Chengzhi, what do you think?"

Although Xu Chongzhi was an eunuch, he was the person Sima Zhou trusted the most. He had long participated in government affairs and helped Sima Zhou criticize the winner. It can be said that his status is equivalent to that of the inner minister.

"Your Majesty, the lifespan of the Southeast King is not long, and the position of the title of king will inevitably be passed to Sima Haiyun in the future. Sima Haiyun's ability is far inferior to that of the Southeast King, and he will definitely value Chen Ning. If Chen Ning has no intention and is willing to serve the court, with him, Xuzhou will be controlled by the court." Xu Chongzhi said so.

Sima Zhou nodded and said, "Your thought coincides with me! But this son's loyalty still needs to be tested. You can test it for me."

"I understand." Xu Chong responded directly.

Immediately afterwards, Sima Zhou frowned and couldn't help saying, "Just just now, Changle talked about this Chen Ning, and his eyebrows were filled with joy from the bottom of his heart. Compared with Yang Jian of Muleng, Chen Ning was a little lower-class man, but he was a good man. I ignored Changle's opposition and forced her to marry Yang Jian, which made her ignore me for a year or two. I have seen her crying sadly in front of the deceased queen's spiritual throne. Oh, I feel wronged. I understand her thoughts, but there must be no problem with her marriage with Yang Jian. But as long as Princess Changle likes her, as long as she is happy, I can turn a blind eye to other things."

"Your Majesty's good intentions, Your Highness will definitely understand. Since Your Highness values ​​Chen Ning, I will also test Chen Ning's attitude." Xu Chong responded directly.

Sima Zhou nodded and smiled, "I still know me best!"

After saying that, Sima Zhou got up and returned to the palace.

Xu Chongzhi went to Chen Ning's room to rest.

Chen Ning's injuries were bandaged and he was resting. Suddenly, he saw an old eunuch wearing eunuch's clothes walking in. Chen Ning hurriedly got up and bowed and bowed, "Brother-in-law, you are polite!"

Xu Chong saw Chen Ning's appearance and nodded secretly. No wonder His Royal Highness liked him so handsome.

"Have you heard of our Xu Chongzhi?" Xu Chongzhi said.

Chen Ning pretended to be excited and said excitedly: "Daddy is Xu Neixiang?"

Xu Chong was stunned, but he didn't expect Chen Ning to call him that.

He was fifty-eight years old, only two years younger than Emperor Sima Zhou. He entered the palace to take care of Emperor Sima Zhou since he was very young, and followed him for decades. He can be said to be the person who knows Sima Zhou the best.

He is smart, cautious, and easy to accompany the king like a tiger. He is deeply trusted by Sima Zhou. He not only serves as the supervisor of the Sili, but also takes charge of the position of criticizing the red, but also takes charge of the Tiger Guard. He becomes an internal official who can inquire about the government affairs and is the first person around the emperor.

Therefore, many people privately call him the inner minister, as famous as the outer minister Dong Ru.

"Young Master Chen, be careful! Our family is not an internal minister!" Xu Chong replied directly.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "I heard that Eunuch Xu's reputation has been famous for a long time. My father-in-law has the talent to support the country, so that His Majesty is so respected. I once heard that my father-in-law was poor when he was young, and he was good at studying when he was a wall and borrowed light. He had a strong ambition. Later, although he entered the palace, he was unable to fulfill his ambitions in his heart, but his passion was hidden in his heart and he never forgot his ambitions. He served His Majesty, devoted his whole life, and did everything respectfully.

He also followed the army to annihilate foreign enemies, and the Shenwu Ran was powerful and the border was outside the border. Now he is in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the Dihu Guard, and he holds an important task to support the Great Jin Dynasty.

The ancients said that those who have the hearts of benevolent and gentlemen may not necessarily have the talent of heroes; those who have the talent of heroes may not necessarily have the integrity of loyal ministers and righteous men; three are difficult for the world to complete. Only Eunuch Xu is the only one who has complete it! Therefore, Eunuch Xu should be the position of internal prime minister!"

Flattering is definitely a science, and Chen Ning, who does his homework, is naturally proficient in this subject.

Xu Chongzhi is very smart, otherwise he would not be able to reach his current position, but he also has a disadvantage, that is, he likes to listen to good things. He has six adopted sons, all relying on flattery and flattery to get on the spot.

Before Chen Ning took action, he naturally calculated all the details with Meng Xingchen, and calculated that Xu Chongzhi might come to see Chen Ning, so Chen Ning specially checked Xu Chongzhi's past, and then praised without hesitation and recommended it crazy.

The effect is very obvious. Look at Xu Chong straight and smiles so hard that he can't stop smiling.

"You actually know what happened when we were young. It seems that we are not talking nonsense, but we really admire our family. It's not bad, it's not bad. But many people say that our family is a traitor and a traitor around His Majesty. What do you think?" Xu Chong asked directly.

Chen Ning said angrily: "Their words are jealous! When a person gives great responsibilities to him, he must first suffer his mind and mind, tired his muscles and bones, and hungry his body. His father-in-law suffered in childhood and could not enter the palace. However, he was disabled and had a strong ambition, so he had the status of supporting the Great Jin Dynasty. But what about other people? Relying on his family status, he was ambitious and had low abilities, so he was naturally jealous of his father-in-law's achievements. Looking at the world, aren't the people who attacked his father-in-law all such people? It is a mediocre person not to be jealous of others, and his father-in-law doesn't have to pay attention to them. His father-in-law's achievements are left to time, and future generations know it."

Xu Chongzhi is not a disciple of the aristocratic family, but just an ordinary poor family, so Chen Ning's words immediately resonated with him.

Those who scold him were all powerful families. They were jealous and felt that they had a poor family climbed over them, so they were jealous!

"It is a mediocre person not to be envied by others! This is wonderful, wonderful!" Xu Chongzhi praised in surprise, and he looked at Chen Ning more and more.

However, Xu Chongzhi did not forget the purpose of this trip. He asked: "Chen Ning, you are kind to save the princess today, but are you willing to stay in the imperial capital and not return to Xuzhou?"

"I am willing to do it! I am ambition in this life is to serve the court, to annihilate foreign enemies in the future, and to avenge countless people who died tragically on the border. Unfortunately, I am low in status and can only rely on my uncle's relationship to become the military leader in Xuzhou." Chen Ning was very surprised and responded with his fists.

Xu Chong nodded straight.

Chen Ning was willing to give up Xuzhou and come to the imperial capital without any hesitation, which shows that he did not have much enthusiasm for Xuzhou.

"Are you really willing to give up the position of military commander in Xuzhou? I heard that the prince of the Southeast trusts you very much and may be valued by him in the future. He will take charge of the military commanders in Xuzhou like your uncle!" Xu Chong said with a smile.

Chen Ning replied: "My father-in-law also said that it is the future. What will happen in the future? Who can guarantee now? Hu Zhi is not saying that the prince of the Southeast is not good, but good birds choose trees to live in. Xuzhou's stage is too small, and once something wrong happens in the future, Hu Zhi will be implicated. People should be more aware of themselves! My uncle is still a fourth-rank military general and probably will be like this for the rest of his life. I don't want to be like him. Hu Zhi's dream is to bring peace to the world!"

His tone was solemn and sincere.

Xu Chong was convinced by him and understood that Chen Ning was a smart person, and smart people would make the most correct choice.

"Young Master Chen, you saved the princess this time, and the princess praised you!" Xu Chong said again.

Chen Ning's eyes became eager and replied: "I am willing to go to Tang Taohuo for His Highness the Princess, and I will never refuse."

"Does Mr. Chen think Princess Changle beauties?" Xu Chong continued.

Chen Ning licked his lips and said respectfully: "The princess is like a fairy descending to earth, and she is the most beautiful person she has ever seen."

Xu Chong smiled. He had already got what he wanted to ask, and finally said: "Young Master Chen has a good rest, and our family will return to the palace to resume his post. Your Master Chen's both civil and military affairs will definitely be valued by the court, don't worry."

Chen Ning bowed again and sent him away before returning to the room.

After rubbing his face hard, Chen Ning sighed: "Thanks to my good acting skills! Next, it depends on the result."

After Xu Chong returned to the palace, he reported the situation in detail to the emperor.

Sima Zhou smiled and said, "My princess is a fairy who descends to earth, beautiful and charming. It is normal for this boy to admire him. Moreover, this boy not only has vision, but also knows how to judge the situation. He understands that it is difficult to be promoted in Xuzhou and is willing to be loyal to the court... It would be a pity if I abandon such a good chess piece. By the way, I will make you worsen the relationship between the Eight Kings. Have you taken action? In addition, what are the Eight Kings plotting?"

Xu Chong immediately knelt on the ground and replied in panic: "Please punish your majesty! I sent someone to investigate the content of the Eight King's conspiracy. Unfortunately, the other party was too cautious. Only they knew what they were talking about, so the Eight King's conspiracy was not found. Moreover, the Eight King was very cautious and had a strict guard around him. He had not found a feasible way to worsen the conflict between them. Please punish him!"

"Hmph...what the hell are these eight bastards!" Sima Zhou said angrily.

At this time, Xu Chong directly suggested: "Your Majesty, since Chen Ning is worthy of reusing and he is now highly valued by the Prince of Southeastern Prince, why not give this matter to him? At the same time, look at his loyalty."

Sima Zhou's eyes lit up and said in surprise: "Yes, it is best to leave this matter to him. If he can find out, it will show his loyalty. In addition, he saved Changle, I will reward him heavily, so that he can feel at ease and listen to my orders better. Chongzhi, leave this matter to you, and you can arrange it!"

"I understand." Xu Chong nodded.

......

Chen Ning was not idle at this time. He had just sent away Yang Jian with guilty expressions. He believed that it was his responsibility to be injured by the princess and Shen Ning.

In order to make up for the mistake, Yang Jian left the princess's mansion and prepared the Earth Tiger Guard to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang.
