"You have to be polite." Chen Zhong had a stern face.

In front of Hai Rui, he couldn't raise his head because he couldn't afford to offend him.

Not only was this man highly trusted by His Majesty, but he was also upright and even His Majesty dared to scold him. When he scolded Emperor Jiajing, his reputation spread throughout the world.

This is a person that civil servants dare not provoke. He dare not provoke him. It has no benefit to offend him, but there are many disadvantages.

If you don’t talk about anything else, just take the blame first.

I am now a loyal young father-in-law, and I can't afford this crime.

But it is different in front of the eunuchs in Prince De's Mansion. We are also a person with status. Under the name of Eunuch Chen, the Sili Supervisor, he was given the name Chen Zhong by Eunuch Chen. This word loyalty tells the character of a slave.

Facing Chen Zhong's appearance, Li Zhong was not surprised and became even more respectful.

Everyone is my own people, I will be fair to you, and you will protect me when you look back. Even if you don’t help, it’s good to give me some news.

"This is Mr. Dong Dabao and the subordinate of the Secretary for Literature Zhang Cheng. By the way, Eunuch Zhang is in charge of the affairs of the East Factory. This Mr. Dong is the confidant of Eunuch Zhang, and is now the hundred households in the East Factory." Hai Rui pointed at Dong Dabao and introduced.

At this time, Hai Rui stroked his beard, smiled and amiable.

Li Zhong was shocked and almost lay on the ground.

What are you doing?

Did the prince rebel? Are you here to search the house?

Who is this?

Let’s not talk about the famous Hai Rui. Look at his current official position, he is ordered to envoy and go wherever he goes on behalf of the emperor. He is like I personally. This is not worthy of being offended.

Let’s talk about the people next to you, the subordinates of Eunuch Chen, the Sili Supervisor, who came from the palace.

From Dongchang, Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang got off the door.

What do you do to get so many people together?

Li Zhong quickly greeted Dong Dabao.

Although he is an eunuch, he can't afford to offend Dong Dabao.

Dong Dabao also nodded, not wanting to talk to Li Zhong.

First of all, he must maintain respect for eunuchs, because his immediate boss is a eunuch, and he must not be too domineering.

But if you are too polite and seem to have no status, you can just pretend to be cold.

Hai Rui pointed to Yu Dayou and said, "This is General Yu Dayou, and his official position is gone. But now he is teaching His Majesty to practice martial arts and military tactics in the palace. The people behind him are the Qi family army sent by Qi Jiguang."

No one can afford to offend.

Li Zhong made a judgment in his heart instantly.

If the eunuchs don’t care if they are not an official position, they just rely on close relationships to make a living.

He didn't know whether this general could fight, but he knew that he couldn't afford to offend him.

What kind of treatment do the Pope’s military skills and martial arts treat the emperor? What is his status with the emperor?

Can't afford to offend!

Li Zhong quickly greeted Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou waved his hand quickly and said, "Dadfather-in-law, don't be polite."

Li Zhong had seen Li, and then turned to look at Hai Rui, looking serious and waiting quietly.

Are there any cruel people you have?

Hai Rui glared at him and said angrily: "Why don't you go and deliver the letter quickly?"

"Yes, yes." Li Zhong nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran inside.

Li Zhong ran in for a short while, and it became lively inside, and a group of people ran out.

Then, a fat man came out of it.

Just look at his clothes, you can tell that this person is King De.

King De was out of breath when he walked out, and it seemed that his health was not very good.

This is true. The body of this King of De is indeed not very good. He is in his thirties this year. Historical records have been in his reign for eleven years and died after living in his forties.

After seeing King De, Hai Rui and others quickly bowed and said, "See Your Highness King De."

"No gifts." King De waved his hand and said, "Is there an order?"

When he said this, King De felt nervous. When he looked at Hai Rui, he was full of fear and almost trembled.

With this attitude, if you didn’t say you were going to issue an imperial edict to depose me, I wouldn’t believe it.

A rare hint of embarrassment flashed across Hai Rui's face.

It seems to be a bit overdone.

He shook his head quickly and said, "Go back to Your Highness, there is no decree."

Upon hearing this, King De breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, Hai Rui became even more embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Although there is no order, before leaving the capital, His Majesty told me to come and see the prince and ask what the prince needs."

"If you have anything that needs to be done by the court or anything that needs to be done by Your Majesty, the prince can tell me that I will definitely submit it to Your Majesty. This time, I will also see the prince for Your Majesty."

"So that's it!" King De nodded, with a look of gratitude on his face, and even tears in his eyes: "The kindness of heaven is so great, we ministers really cannot repay us!"

After calming down for a long time, King De calmed down.

He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Everyone, please come in."

Everyone stepped into the palace and entered the hall under the leadership of King De.

After the guests and hosts sat down, the tea was also brought up, and the atmosphere was relieved.

King De looked at Hai Rui and asked, "Where is Lord Hai going to Shandong this time?"

Hai Rui didn't believe that King De really didn't know anything, Shandong was not very big, and Jinan Prefecture was not very big. Although the vassal kings didn't care about things on weekdays, it didn't mean they didn't know anything.

Things in Shandong are so big that they have spread all over the world for a long time. How could he not know?

But when he pretends to be stupid, things will become much easier.

"This time, I went to Shandong to handle the work in accordance with His Majesty's will." Hai Rui said with a smile: "It is mainly to come to see the matter of Shandong's inspection of the fields. Doesn't the prince know yet?"

Check the fields?

I think you are here to check me.

King De curled his lips, looking disbelieving.

Want to cheat me?

There is no door!

King De shook his head and suddenly said, "I really don't know. Is there anything here? Lord Hai, you know. I have always been law-abiding and must not inquire about things that should not be asked about."

"How can I ask about this Shandong Yamen? So I really don't know what happened in Shandong."

Anyway, I don’t know, just do whatever you love!

"So that's how it is." Hai Rui suddenly realized, "I thought the prince already knew it. After all, the matter involved the prince. If the prince didn't know, it would be a big deal!"

Upon hearing this, King De's face changed.

What is involved with me? What does this have to do with me? I did nothing!

Squinted his eyes and looked at Hai Rui, King De said carefully: "Master Hai, I don't know what is involved in this king? I really don't know!"
