After this change, the sky was already bright, and everyone was not sleepy, Chen Ming said: "There are too many things to experience along the way, in my opinion, let's not stay here for too long, just eat some breakfast here, and hurry up on the road." ”

The Sun God Monarch said: "What the fourth sister said is reasonable, in case this Shi Miyuan has other killers, then it will be troublesome, let's hurry immediately after breakfast." ”

After discussing, Xue Ren and Chen Ming went to the kitchen of the post station to cook something, and everyone ate it together, and then they went on the road.

Since the addition of the Sun God Monarch, this group of people on the road is fine, every day, Xiaoxing sleeps overnight, and finally arrives outside the gate of Lin'an City on this day.

Seeing that this trip had been safely reached, the Sun God Jun said that he liked to play around, so he was no longer with Chen Wenduan and them, and drifted away.

And Xue Ren and the gang leader and apprentice of the beggar gang also said goodbye to Chen Wenduan and them, and went to the rudder cultivation of Lin'an of the beggar gang.

After Chen Ming and Chen Wenduan's brothers and sisters separated from everyone, they returned to Chen's mansion together.

Besides, there are people from the Tianxia Sect under Shi Miyuan to find out the news for him, so the news that Chen Wenduan has returned to the Lin'an Mansion will naturally be known by Shi Miyuan very quickly.

In addition, the two groups of people he sent to assassinate Chen Wenduan ended in failure, so he was in a very unhappy mood, walking around in the study, very irritable.

At this time, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly came to the study and reported to Shi Miyuan: "Li Zhixiao is visiting. ”

Shi Miyuan thought to himself: Although this Li Zhixiao is his cronie, he hasn't come to his prime minister's mansion alone to see him for a long time, why did he come to me today? . ”

Thinking of this, Shi Miyuan instructed the housekeeper to lead this person to the study where he was.

And this Li Zhixiao is also an official, his grandfather once served as the governor of the Great Song Dynasty, and this Li Zhixiao has been very smart and studious since he was a child, and he was admitted to the old Jinshi in his early twenties, and was soon appointed as the official in charge of the text of the Prime Minister's Office, it is said that this official position is a bit too low for a Jinshi, but this person is good at opportunism, and soon Bo Prime Minister Shi Miyuan's favor, and the official position is naturally soaring all the way, until the current right counselor, becoming one of the three dogs under Shi Miyuan。

It didn't take long for him to see Li Zhixiao come to the study, and when he saw Shi Miyuan, he immediately bowed and bowed, and said: "I haven't been to Xiangye's mansion for many days to ask Xiangye's peace, and the lower officials specially came to Xiangye's mansion today to greet Xiangye." ”

Shi Miyuan snorted, waved his hand to let Li Zhixiao sit down, and said, "Master Li, if you haven't come to the prime minister's mansion for so long, don't you have a new backer, and you don't take the old man seriously." ”

Listening to the tone of Shi Miyuan's words, Li Zhixiao knew that it was because he hadn't come to greet Shi Miyuan for a while recently, so Shi Miyuan was angry with himself.

So Li Zhixiao hurriedly explained to Shi Miyuan: "Xiangye, the lower official was picked up by you, so the lower official has always respected you very much in his heart, but you also know that during this time, some ministers attacked you for forming a party for personal gain, saying that I am also one of your sworn friends, if the lower official is still too close to you, wouldn't it be just right to give the truth to these people who attacked you, considering these, the lower official has come to your mansion recently, and please understand." ”

Hearing Li Zhixiao say this, Shi Miyuan was still quite comfortable in his heart, and said with a smile: "Master Li, the old man has worked with you for many years, and your old man knows you very well, you are thinking about the old man, how can the old man blame you." ”

"It's good that the lord understands the official, thank you Xiangye. Li Zhixiao said.

Shi Miyuan asked, "Lord Li came to the old man's mansion today, I don't know what else is going on besides asking for peace?"

Li Zhixiao replied: "Xiangye still understands me, and Xia Guan does have other things, that is, about Chen Wenduan, the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

"Tell me about it. Shi Miyuan said to Liu Zhixiao.

Li Zhixiao said: "Xiangye, this Chen Wenduan has been against you since he became the secretary of the Criminal Department, no, Chen Wenduan just came back from a business trip in Huaixi, and some ministers in the court went to his mansion to discuss how to impeach Xiangye. ”

"How did you know that?" Shi Miyuan asked.

Li Zhixiao replied: "Back to Xiangye, among the people who went today, there was a person who had a good relationship with Xia Guan on weekdays, and today after this person and a group of officials went to Chen Wenduan's mansion to discuss this matter, they came to me for a drink. ”

"So that's the case, Master Li, you are my confidant, I don't hide it, I also received a message from my subordinates that Chen Wenduan came back from Huaixi, saying that he found something unfavorable to me, but the old man is not afraid of shadow evil, even if he goes to the Holy Place, the old man is not afraid." Shi Miyuan said.

Li Zhixiao said: "Xiangye is now deeply favored by the saint, and there is the support of a large number of courtiers in the court, so he is not afraid of Chen Wenduan, but Xiangye, think about it, this time the matter is not trivial, the Huaixi military case of the year, you know, almost let my Great Song Dynasty suffer a catastrophe, this time this Chen Wenduan went to the military camp in Huaixi, in case he used this as an excuse to play something to the saint, at that time, even if you are the favored minister of the saint, I am afraid that the saint will not necessarily be on your side." ”

Shi Miyuan listened to Li Zhixiao's words, thought for a while, and said: "Master Li, the old man really didn't think so deeply, after you said this, the old man also felt that this matter was really a bit serious." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Miyuan asked Li Zhixiao again: "According to Master Li's opinion, how should the old man deal with this matter." ”

Li Zhixiao replied: "Prime Minister, the saint is not a foolish person today, this matter, according to the humble opinion, you can start first, tomorrow's morning court will play a book, just say that you have received the news, saying that this Chen Wenduan during the inspection in Huaixi, privately accepted bribes from the officials below. ”

"But if we accuse the dynasty of a first-class member without evidence, the saint will also believe it, and Chen Wenduan will refute it. Shi Miyuan said.

Li Zhixiao replied: "What the prime minister is very worried about, in fact, what the lower officials want is that Chen Wenduan will refute you in the court, and even play a copy of you." ”

"Why is that?" asked Shi Miyuan.

Li Zhixiao replied with a smile: "Prime Minister, think about it, in this way, the dispute between you and Chen Wenduan may become a dispute between different factions in the court in front of the saint, if it becomes like that, even if it can find out what is wrong with you, the saint will not do anything to you in order to weigh the forces in the court." ”

After listening to Li Zhixiao's words, Shi Miyuan slapped the table and said: "Master Li, I didn't expect you to see the affairs of officialdom so thoroughly, and it really makes the old man admire, you have a good idea, and you will do what you say tomorrow morning." ”

Li Zhixiao said: "Xiangye has a good reputation, these are all things that should be done in a humble position." ”

So the two chatted about the details for a while, and Li Zhixiao got up and said goodbye.
