Finally, the day for everyone to return to Beijing happened to be in the golden autumn of September, and the sky was high and refreshing. An Youliang seemed to be preparing to enter Beijing with them, while Qin Qingmu was going to stay in Shu and open the Qin family's cloth village again.

Xiang Mutian and Sheng Changlin bid farewell to Liu Moxing and Wen Zhili, and the two of them admired the left and right phases at this time. Sheng Changge's eyes were red when she looked at Wen Zhili, but she still didn't say a word.

He Luo saw that Sheng Changge had really given up the Wen Zhili, and he was also relieved. Yunshang sat in the carriage and waited for Liu Moxing, and Wen Zhili and An Youliang also joined them.

He Luo knew his current identity, so naturally he would not ride in the carriage with them. She turned over neatly and rode to Ji Fang's side.

Ji Fang looked at her with some surprise and said, "Why don't you take the carriage with your master?" ”

"He Luo is a subordinate, how can he ride in the carriage with the master?" He Luo said casually.

Ji Fang said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I will call you Mrs. soon." ”

He Luo was a little embarrassed to be said, but the Wen family guards around her were also asking questions, and she answered their questions helplessly. And thanks to chatting with everyone, the journey will not be boring.

Because Wonju is not close to the capital, and the speed of travel is not fast, it took almost seven days on the road. On the day they returned to Beijing, the common people heard that the pirates had returned triumphantly, and they all ran out to welcome them.

All of a sudden, the prestige of the left and right ministers in Beijing became more and more prosperous, and the prestige in the court was also getting higher and higher.

Knowing that after the two returned to Beijing, the emperor rubbed his forehead with a headache. Lin Ziping stood in front of him, as if waiting for the emperor's reply. Jian You looked at Lin Ziping coldly, he didn't think this person was credible.

"Are you sure you can take the Punishment Department?" The emperor stared at Lin Ziping tightly.

"Your Majesty, now Xie Ke and Guo Han of the Ministry of Rites have been replaced, and now they are all our people. Except for Zhen Xueyi, it is almost already under our control. The Ministry of Household now has ministers, and the Ministry of Industry has been almost hit by us, Fu Chuanming is afraid that it will not last long, and the Ministry of Industry can be regarded as taking it back. With General Chu in charge of the military department, it can't be moved for the time being. The words of the Criminal Department, Zhu Xuzhi needless to say, is dedicated to the emperor. It's just that Lord Ye is a hard temper, so it's hard to say for the time being. Lin Ziping replied.

"So what do you think is the biggest problem we're trying to solve right now?" The emperor seemed satisfied.

Lin Ziping's voice was cold: "Officials." ”

"Do you have a solution?" The emperor looked at Lin Ziping's expression with a serious expression.

After Jian You came back from Shudi, he found that the emperor now trusts Lin Ziping very much. Although he didn't like Wen Zhili and Liu Moxing, he hated Lin Ziping even more. I always feel that there are two words written on this person's face, greed.

When he reported to the emperor about Tao Wang, he actually wanted to discuss it with Lin Ziping. And this Lin Ziping seems to have a good relationship with Jiang Heng now, and even said that Tao Wang's matter is still suspicious, and it will be discussed later.

Although Jian You was angry, he couldn't show it. In his eyes, Lin Ziping is now a traitor, and the emperor is being played by him like a fool.

In desperation, he could only detain Tao Wang in the prison of the Inspectorate's Office, and sent people to protect him every day. After all, Tao Wang is too important to make a mistake.

Lin Ziping wanted to say something, but glanced at Jian You. The emperor understood what he meant, he actually didn't want to hide it from Jian You, but he wanted to take the power back into his hands too much. Jian You has indeed helped him a lot over the years, but in addition to some traitors, Lin Ziping really helped him get back power.

After being entangled for a long time, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Jian You, you go down first." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Jian You couldn't stay here anymore, and directly retired and left. He didn't want to care about Lin Ziping's tricks, after all, with his ability, he really couldn't do anything about this guy.

When he came to the Inspector's Office, he walked to the door of Tao Wang's cell, and saw that he looked leisurely and without any fear. Jian You looked at him coldly and asked, "Lord Tao seems to be very satisfied with my prison of the Warden Office?" ”

"What? If Lord Jane is in a bad mood, will he be angry with the prisoners? Tao Wang's tone was teasing.

Jian You smiled helplessly and said, "What kind of people do you think Wen Zhili and Liu Moxing are?" ”

Tao Wang leaned against the cold wall, thought for a while, and then said: "It is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and it is both good and evil. However, they are all smart people, capable, have means, and have an army, and Lanping Country cannot do without them. ”

"What will happen if Wen Liudu falls?" Jian You looked at Tao Wang's eyes with serious eyes.

Tao Wang smiled coldly and said, "Lord Jane, can you listen to the old man?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Jian You's tone was light.

Tao Wang laughed and said, "You are really not suitable to be an official, so it's better to leave this place as soon as possible." In addition, let the saint not be smart, today's Lanping country, if there is no Wen Liu, it will be a disaster to destroy the country. ”

"Nonsense." Jian You's tone was a little angry. Now he does realize the immaturity of the emperor, and the current Lanping Kingdom still needs Wen Liu's help. But this person is still too much to say such a great rebellion.

Tao Wang didn't care, he looked at Jian You and said, "Master Jian, I like your uprightness. The old man never thought that there were such clean people in this court, so I must warn you. If Wen Liu falls, it would be better for Master Jian to leave the Holy Lord and find another way. ”

"Tao Wang, you are just a first-order prisoner, don't be alarmist here." Jian You's tone was serious.

"Lord Jane, people are dying and their words are good. I don't plan to live anymore, and I must ask Jiang Heng to be my back. Actually, you know it in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it, don't you? Tao Wang's eyes were sharp.

Jian You naturally understood that what Tao Wang said was very reasonable, but he didn't want to believe it. It was only because the young man had told him that when he sat in that most honorable position one day, he would not do anything for the sake of power like his father, and would not harm Zhongliang.

At that time, Jian You was angry about Taifu Yun's matter, and hearing his words made him believe that they had a common faith. That's why he was loyal to him and created the Inspector's Office for him to collect all kinds of intelligence and consolidate power.

Yes, consolidate power for him. Jian You couldn't even remember when he had changed, maybe recently, maybe a few years ago, maybe the moment he ascended the throne, he had changed.

He is the emperor, he is a courtier, and between them is no longer a brother or a friend, but a monarch and a minister. He still remembered the day the emperor ascended the throne, and he stood by as his bodyguard, watching him step by step ascend to that supreme position.
