"When I returned to the king, I thought that since the general did not shy away from recommending her relatives, it proved that she had a certain understanding of sails, and she was sure that she was the talent needed by the imperial court." Heiyun bowed slightly, and his words were respectful.

"So the right minister thinks the sail is up to the task?" The empress smiled, and her words were lazy.

"The minister does see it this way, and the minister believes in the general's vision." Heiyun did not shy away from speaking for Wu Lian, Pang Ruolan couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that they had already openly formed a party for personal gain?

"Your Majesty, the selection of talents to recommend pillars for the imperial court was originally the minister's internal business, and the minister thought that even if General Wulian recommended the sail, she also needed to prepare a special assessment project for her." Wen Yi suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "If it is because of the general's recommendation, it is out of the imperial court system, isn't it unfair to the world's scholars and talented people in the world?" ”

"You! You!! Wu Lian looked at Wen Yi with a resentful expression, but she was in control of her anger in the early dynasty.

"And the minister wonders if General Wu Lian accepted bribes? Otherwise, why do you suddenly have to help recommend relatives who don't often come and go? A hint of cunning flashed in Wen Yi's eyes, even if she was facing a general, she did not retreat.

"You! You slander me!! Wu Lian was in a hurry, her mind was racing fast, she didn't expect that Chao Wenyi would expose her accepting bribes in public this morning.

"The minister implores the king to send someone to search the general's mansion, and then he will be able to see immediately!" Wen Yi seemed to be sure of victory, and his tone was firm.

"You! The minister is wronged! The ministers have always been loyal to the king! It is impossible to accept bribes for personal gain! Beads of sweat ran down Wu Lian's forehead and fell down her clothes. She couldn't help but get down on one knee and show her loyalty to the empress.

"......" and the empress just smiled evilly, did not speak, she played with the string of precious beads in her hand, and the next moment suddenly pinched the rope hard, and in an instant all kinds of gems and jade beads scattered in the hall.

For a while, the needle falling upwards could be heard, all the ministers were silent, no one dared to speak, only the empress's attendants were silently picking up the jewels.

Pang Ruolan couldn't help but be stunned, this scene was so familiar. The previous empress also dropped a string of beads like this. It seems that the emperor's actions are unusually restrained, and his joy and anger are invisible.

But Wenyi has always been calm, but today he is willing to be the nail that rises to the head, it seems that the right minister Heiyun and the general Wu Lian's party and arrogance have reached the level that everyone knows and the empress cannot tolerate.

"Retreat!" In the shouting of the attendants. All the ministers knelt down in unison. When you look up again. The empress is gone.

"W-What about this?" Wu Lian immediately ran in front of the right minister, ignoring the side glances of the civil and military officials.

"What to do? Why did the general say this? Black Cloud pretended not to know and walked away quickly. Only Wu Lian, who looked frightened, was left.

"Look at what! What do you guys look at!! Seeing that all the ministers were paying attention to their own dynamics, Wu Lian couldn't help but be furious.

To Pang Ruolan's surprise, no one refuted Wu Lian's words, and everyone just left on their own.

"Stop!" Wen Yi, who was about to leave, was pulled by Wu Lian's sleeve, "Do you think the king will listen to your nonsense?" Do you think that slandering me in the early days of the dynasty will have a surprising effect? You are underestimating the weight of my king's heart! ”

"Humph! From the time when we Chinese were riding horses and paraded through the streets at the same time, you relied on your illustrious family background to make things difficult for me in every way! Now that the dynasty has changed, although you worship the general, you are still arrogant and do all kinds of evil! Wen Yi looked at Wu Lian and snorted coldly, wanting to pull out her sleeves, but she was obviously not Wu Zhuangyuan's opponent.

"Today's events don't end up like this! It's a long time to come! If you want to deal with me Wu Lian, first pad your own weight! Wu Lian sneered at Wen Yi viciously, and said, "Even if you people from civilian backgrounds get important official positions, they are still one of the people!" Think it's so easy to be an official? ”

"The king did not send anyone to search you today, but I will continue to propose, and if you have the ability, you will continue to plot against me! It's good to confirm your crime! Wen Yi looked at Wu Lian without fear and looked directly into her eyes.

"You dare!!" Wu Lian's fingers were forced, only to hear the "hiss", Wen Yi's sleeve had been broken into two.

"Why don't I dare?" Wen Yi looked at his sleeves, but smiled, "The general was still in a cold sweat just now, and now he has obviously recovered."

"If you dare, then this sleeve is your end!" Wu Lian laughed angrily and walked away.

"Wenyi." Pang Ruolan walked up to Wen Yi and looked at her worriedly.

"Zuo Xiang, don't worry, Wen Yi is already like this, those who are officials should take the livelihood and hard work of the people in the world as their own responsibility." Wen Yi smiled softly at Pang Ruolan, and said, "Although Wu Lian is a general now, Wen Yi still doesn't touch her!" ”

"Let's talk as we go!" Pang Ruolan pulled Wen Yi and walked slowly in the palace, "This morning, you saw the attitude of the civil and military officials towards Wu Lian, and they all dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!" What's more, there is a right minister to support her, although on the surface the empress controls the world, but in fact, the two of them are both literate and martial, forming a party for personal gain, and want to overthrow the king. ”

"It's true, it's more obvious recently, that's why Wen Yi has to stand up." Wen Yi was indignant, "The atmosphere in the court was not right before, but I didn't expect it to be even more so now." I don't know why the king refused to punish Wu Lian, especially for the right minister. She must respect the opinions of the right minister. ”

It is said that the empress is not ignorant of the faction of the right minister and the general, and she is arrogant, but she refuses to punish her. As the emperor of a country, what is her difficulty? Indulge the two of them here?

Thinking so, Pang Ruolan didn't answer, and was puzzled in her heart.

"Alas! I wish I was unfounded! If you shouldn't say something, could it be that the former princess and the current empress were caught by these two people with some handle in their hands? Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense! In the face of courtiers who want to empty their real power, why doesn't she give color? Wen Yi frowned slightly, but he sighed and shook his head.

"Perhaps, the empress has her own considerations, didn't she refute your words today?" Pang Ruolan patted Wen Yi on the shoulder, as if this would give her strength.

"But Fengfan is Wu Lian's distant relative, how can she be so grandiose in the early dynasty? It's lawless! Despised by Wenyi!! Seeing that Wen Yi was still indignant, Pang Ruolan smiled understandingly, she could understand Wen Yi's thoughts, after all, she was born in the common people, and wanted to provide an opportunity for the real pillars of every country to change their fate.

"Wen Yi doesn't know if he is impulsive today, in this court, only you are Wen Yi's confidant, only to you, Wen Yi can reveal his heart." Wen Yi looked at Pang Ruolan sincerely, and said: "Wen Yi came from a humble background, I thought that if I won the Wen Champion, I would be able to serve the country, seek welfare for the people, and change the fate of every poor person!" I didn't expect that the officials in the court protected each other, and many things had their own rules, which could not be solved with a little effort and a little money. (To be continued.) )
