Chapter 1249: Explanation
"Are you a martial artist?" Chu Yan asked.
Cheng Shuping nodded quickly: "Answering back the emperor, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and have achieved some success."
"Since you practice martial arts, why don't you find a job?"
Cheng Shuping smiled wryly and shook his head: "Why don't I want to, but if I join the army, I won't be able to take care of Dong Mei and the children. I don't feel at ease if they are under my mother's nose."
Right now, even right under his nose, Dong Mei almost died. It was hard to imagine what would happen to Dong Mei and his children if he left!
Chu Yan glanced at him again, then whistled, and immediately two black shadows came out: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Chu Yan pointed to Cheng Shuping and said: "You all exchange blows with him, do your best but don't hurt him, I want to see his strength."
Cheng Shuping was ecstatic. The news that the emperor had a Dragon Guard has already spread in the official circles in the capital. Those who can enter the Dragon Guard were the elite among the elites, and they only obey the Emperor and were not controlled by anyone. If he could win the favor of the Emperor and join the Dragon Guards to work, he doesn't need to leave the capital, but he would have the ability to leave their family so that he would not be afraid of his mother's clutches.
Cheng Shuping and the shadow guards exchanged blows. One against two, although it was very difficult, it could be seen that his martial arts were among the best.
The fight was in full swing when suddenly there was a loud shout from the gate of the courtyard: "You rebellious son, what are you doing? Why don't you stop?" As soon as Prime Minister Cheng Zuo came to the courtyard, he saw his son fighting with the Emperor's shadow guards in front of the Emperor. His legs softened in frightened and his back was covered in a cold sweat.
Chu Yan raised his hand, and the shadow guards withdrew and then disappeared.
Prime Minister Cheng Zuo hastily stepped forward to salute: "This minister greets the Emperor, I didn't know that the emperor was coming, so I couldn't greet you in advance. Please forgive me."
Chu Yan didn't say anything, but stared at him, so that Cheng Zuo didn't dare to lift his head, and his body was trembling.
"Get up!"
He didn't kneel for a long time, but as far as Prime Minister Cheng Zuo was concerned, it seemed that he had knelt for an eternity, and his heart was disturbed.
When he got up, he glared at his son fiercely.
Chu Yan said: "It was I who asked him to compete with the shadow guards. If you want to blame someone, you can blame me."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Cheng Zuo was so frightened that he knelt again: "I dare not!"
"Get up, stand up, and talk." Chu Yan was a little annoyed, he should not have come if he knew this would happen.
Cheng Zuo stood up and wiped his sweat quietly.
"I didn't expect the emperor to be disturbed by the small things in the back house of this minister's house. It was because this minister was incapable of discipline that the Emperor made you laugh."
Chu Yan nodded seriously: "You are indeed incapable of discipline. If it weren't for your incompetence in discipline, I would not be here today."
Prime Minister Cheng Zuo didn't know what happened at all. That woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, she was trembling, and she couldn't even utter a whole sentence. He could only hear her repeating the words that the emperor had come.
So he rushed over in a hurry.
Fortunately, he had some things to do today, so he went back to the mansion early, otherwise, he doesn't know how to explain it to the emperor.
But what does the emperor mean by this? He was just being polite.
Seeing Prime Minister Cheng Zuo's confused face, Chu Yan said displeased: "So, you are just being polite to me? You don't even know why I am here?"
Cheng Zuo looked embarrassed: "Emperor, Your Majesty forgives the crime, I just returned to the mansion, I haven't… I haven't understood it yet."
Chu Yan sneered, "It's been so long since the palace meeting ended, but you only came back at this time. Could it be that the cabinet has too many things to do that you are so busy until now?" He can remember the things of the cabinet, and these first-rank officials were not so busy at all.
