Yan Shichong didn't learn about the failure of the second prince's action until the next dynasty, and he was immediately extremely panicked, but at this time, he was named by the emperor to go to the Yinghua Palace for a meeting, so he didn't bother to inquire about the specific news and trotted to the Yinghua Palace.

Today, the people who were named to the Yinghua Hall to hold a meeting are all veterans with certain qualifications, and what we want to discuss is who will be the secretary of the Ministry of Workers.

Because more than half of the people attending the meeting were loyal ministers, they firmly recommended Yan Jinxuan, and Yan Jinxuan won far more votes in the court a few days ago than other candidates, so his voice was the highest.

Naturally, the strict party vigorously opposed it, but the general trend had gone, so no matter how hard they tried, they could not save the frenzy.

The invisible rivalry between the two factions lasted for nearly an hour, and then came to an end with a word from the emperor.

The successor of the Ministry of Industry is Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan didn't react much when he heard this, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After the meeting, the emperor asked Gonggong Zhang: "Is there any movement on the second prince's side?" ”

Since learning about the second prince's private decree, the emperor sent people to keep an eye on the second prince.

"Back to the emperor, he has been in the room since he returned to the Jiong Palace, and he has never gone out again." Father-in-law Zhang replied hurriedly.

"But someone is looking for him?" The emperor asked again.

"Nope." Father-in-law Zhang replied.

The emperor said: "Continue to monitor him." ”

"Yes."

The emperor sat down.

He was a little distressed and didn't know what to do with the second prince.

The crown prince dared to ask someone to perform witchcraft on him back then, and now the second prince dares to ask someone to make a holy decree privately. The actions of both men broke his heart.

He had to re-examine his relationship with his sons.

Which one is the one who really treats him?

In comparison, except for those who are under ten years old, only the third prince has not had any crooked thoughts about him.

But who dares to guarantee that the three princes will not change under the temptation of power?

Before, he also thought that the second prince was a docile and kind person, but he didn't expect to do such a despicable thing, what did the third prince really think?

Judging from the people the three princes have befriended, he still has some vision. Judging from his usual behavior, there is no lack of praise.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor asked people to pass Yan Yunpei, Liu Qingchi and Fang Duan over.

These three people have all been in the court for more than ten years, and they have a thorough understanding of political affairs and people's hearts, so the emperor wants to hear their opinions.

In addition to Yan Yunpei, the other two were very surprised after learning about the second prince, they didn't expect that the gentle and kind second prince would have such a means to do this, but the other party was the prince after all. So they don't dare to express their opinions casually.

"What should I do with him? Do you have any good suggestions? The emperor asked.

The three exchanged glances. They all want to talk and stop.

"This is not the court, so you don't have to be too restrained." The emperor said.

Yan Yunpei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, making a holy decree privately is equivalent to deception, if this matter is not handled well, I am sure that it will be repeated next time." And the holy decree is a symbol of the emperor's order. At that time, if he uses this to do something treasonous, it will be troublesome. ”

"Yes. This thing is too dangerous. Fang Duan also said busily.

Liu Qingchi also said: "This matter should be dealt with seriously. ”

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but they did not dare to give specific opinions on how to deal with it.

After all, everyone is also afraid of getting into trouble.

"What would you do if you were me?" The emperor asked.

According to the law, false proclamation of a holy decree is punishable by death. Unless he has great merit to overcome. Yan Yunpei cautiously admonished.

These emperors naturally knew, but he just couldn't bear to behead the second prince because of such a thing, so he said: "I don't think he is going to be sentenced to death, after all, he admitted his mistake afterwards." ”

The three scholars exchanged glances again, and everyone finally figured out the emperor's thoughts, so Yan Yunpei said: "If the emperor wants to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, you can arrange for him to do one or two things with great merit, if the emperor only wants to spare his life, he and his children may as well be demoted to the common people and the frontier." ”

This is a more feasible way to deal with it.

Because two other ministers also agreed.

The emperor sighed and closed his eyes slightly, he was still a little hesitant.

After a while, he waved them down.

After they retreated, the emperor summoned the third prince and informed him of Yan Yunpei's suggestion.

"What do you think?" The emperor looked at him and asked.

"Erchen felt that the method of 'degrading to the common people and distributing the frontier' was more appropriate, firstly, it played a real punitive role, and secondly, it also exempted him from the possibility of coveting the throne." The third prince replied.

The emperor thought about it and nodded slightly.

Then the emperor asked him about other things, and the three princes answered them one by one.

The father and son chatted for a while, and the emperor gradually made a decision in this chat.

The next day, the second prince and his children were demoted to commoners and sent to Menghua.

Although Empress Kuang knelt down and cried and pleaded, the emperor had already made up her mind, so everything was still done in accordance with the content of the holy decree.

The third prince forcibly concealed the excitement in his heart and quietly practiced his calligraphy in front of the desk for a long time.

……………

However, he said that as soon as the seminar ended yesterday, Yan Jinxuan went back to the yamen to be busy with the handover of work, so he was also busy until late before going back.

He first went back to Chaoxingmen and told his father, grandmother, brother and others about his appointment as the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and they wanted to add vegetables to celebrate him.

Although I really wanted to rush back to see Su Shanyun, it was rare for everyone to be so happy, so Yan Jinxuan stayed.

After dinner, Yan Yunpei pulled him aside and instructed him a lot of words, and he wrote them down one by one.

And so it was almost an hour.

Seeing that it was not early, Yan Jinxuan hurriedly said goodbye.

He didn't tell them about Su Shanyun's captivity.

Su Shanyun learned the news from Shen Zhizhao this afternoon, so although he was injured, he happily made a few dishes for Yan Jinxuan.

In the evening, she was so sleepy that she went back to bed/rested.

Seeing Yan Jinxuan coming back, Mama Song hurriedly went inside and said to Su Shanyun, "Madam, the second master is back." ”

Su Shanyun, who was sleeping very lightly, immediately opened her eyes.

Yan Jinxuan's tall figure appeared in front of her.

"Second master." She called out affectionately, and sat up in her clothes.

"Just lie down." Yan Jinxuan hurriedly said.

Su Shanyun lay down obediently.

"Second Master, congratulations!" Su Shanyun looked at him and said.

She knew he deserved to be in this position.

Yan Jinxuan smiled and held her hand.

"I just went back to Chaoxingmen and told them about it." Yan Jinxuan said.

"Okay." Su Shanyun said busily.

There are elders there, and they should be told to the elders first.

Su Shanyun asked the kitchen to give Yan Jinxuan hot dishes.

Although Yan Jinxuan had already eaten at Chaoxingmen just now, he couldn't bear to live up to her wishes, so he obediently went to the dining room. (To be continued.) )
