"Your Majesty, Xu Zuodeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Xu is waiting outside."

"Call him in."

"No."

"Weichen Xu Zuodeng see the saint!" As soon as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu entered the imperial study, it was like Li Zhen saluting.

"Hurry up, Xu Qing doesn't have to be polite." Li Zhen hurriedly helped him.

"I don't know what is the important matter for the Holy Majesty to summon the ministers?" Xu Zuodeng didn't know what was going on, was this going to clean him up? He hasn't made any mistakes recently, he's quite peaceful, the last time the Ministry of Industry hired a murderer to assassinate, he didn't make any stupid moves, he watched the other party make mistakes with cold eyes, and today the little emperor suddenly summoned him, what does this mean?

"Recently, it is rumored that Uncle Seven Kings has come to the capital, I wonder if Xu Qing can know?" The little emperor said straight to the point.

Okay! Is this a matter of supporting the Seven Princes back then? Xu Zuodeng replied quietly: "Back to Your Majesty, just after the imperial examination, Weichen has been busy with the transfer of some officials recently, and has not paid attention to the affairs of the capital. According to the custom of the imperial court, the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without being summoned. The Seventh Prince is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, and there must be a slight error in the rumors. ”

"There are rumors, but they must not be groundless." Li Zhen wanted to force Xu Zuodeng to make a statement.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and stop at the edge of the abyss. Xu Zuodeng didn't want to speak, he chose one of the two, and he would die if he chose the wrong one, although the seventh prince had no intention of power, but what if? But I can't help but say it, this one is staring at it!

"That's what the Holy One said."

It's quite sleek, and Li Zhen is no longer entangled with the other party in the matter of Li Wan's entry into Beijing.

"Xu Qing, I heard that some time ago, the arrester of the Zhenfu Division was assassinated?"

"There seems to be such a thing as returning to the saint."

"What does Aiqing know?"

"Back to the saint, Wei Chen heard that the assassin did not want to assassinate the Zhenfu Division, it seems to be related to the prisoner arrested by the Zhenfu Division!"

"Oh? Prisoner? Li Zhen pretended not to know.

"Hui Sheng, he is a prisoner who escaped from the blood prison."

"Aiqing! Although the matter of the criminal prison is under the control of the Criminal Department, the arrest of the Zhenfu Department is also an official of my Great Wei after all, and this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated, so I order you to negotiate with the Criminal Department to arrest these bandits. ”

"Minister, obey!"

"Alright, let's go down."

After Xu Zuodeng left the imperial study, Feng An walked into Li Zhen's side and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to install a few celebrant supervisors to help Lord Xu." ”

"No, since the Ministry of Officials is determined to bring down the Ministry of Works, let's just wait for them to make their own mistakes, and we don't have to meddle between them. As long as Chen Xiu is optimistic and don't let them come into contact. You personally went to the Zhenfu Division to give instructions to Wei Yong about this. ”

"No."

"Feng An, while the Ministry of Industry is busy dealing with the Ministry of Officials, you send someone to check the silver money for repairing the border city wall back then, keep it secret, and don't make a noise if you find anything. With just one assassin, the Ministry of Officials could not pull the Ministry of Works into the water. ”

"But this Xu Zuodeng still wants to get on the seventh uncle's ship? How long has it been? Uncle Seven's methods of controlling people back then were very clever. Okay, Feng An, you go to the Zhenfu Division first, and let the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry bite each other! ”

"No."

——————

After Xu Zuodeng, the secretary of the ministry, left the imperial study, he did not rush to the criminal department. He also knew that he couldn't bring down the Ministry of Industry by buying a murderer to assassinate an official of the imperial court, but since the little emperor had this thought, it was inevitable that the next one would not be him, and the rabbit would die and the dog would cook. He also had to think of a way to remind the Ministry of Industry and tell them to wipe their butts clean.

If you don't deal with the Ministry of Industry, it's better than when the little emperor wants to deal with himself in the future, it's better to be alone, the seventh prince is now idle and wild, and Xu Zuodeng probably can't count on this backer.

"If you want to seek the skin of the fox for the fur of the daughter, you want to have the treasure of the little prison and seek shame with the sheep, and the fox escapes under the heavy hill, and the sheep hides in the deep forest." The story is somewhat similar to what it is today.

Zhenfu Si is a close confidant of the little emperor, Xu Zuodeng doesn't believe that the little emperor doesn't know what kind of prisoner he is arresting, and Wei Yong can't wait to report to the little emperor in person to show his loyalty.

Now Xu Zuodeng has some complaints about the Ministry of Industry in his heart, and he has bought the murderer! Can't you pay more? What's wrong with hiring two more? So what do you do? Now it's okay, let the handle be grabbed! You said that the former military department was still planted, that was a military attaché, brainless, normal. But you, Li Hanlin, are the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the book! Why is he a civil official, so stupid?

When Jin Jiu from Jiangnan was arrested before, how clean that household was doing! Why don't you learn? Li Hanlin, blind by this name. They all walked step by step to the position of Shangshu, why is the Ministry of Industry so unenlightened? Xu Zuodeng now not only has to wipe his ass for the Ministry of Industry, but also has to prevent the little emperor from doing something to him, and he can hate the Ministry of Industry now.

Chen Xiu is now also strictly guarded, and he can't find out what the other party has in charge of the Ministry of Industry. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has not moved since the last assassin hired failed to assassinate. The water in the capital is getting deeper and deeper, and Xu Zuodeng also smells an unusual smell from the recent wind. Is this the little emperor going to purge the court?

He was very clear about the Seventh Prince's coming to Beijing, and he originally thought that the Seventh Prince would pick up his ambitions again, but when he heard that he had been staying in the wine shop since coming to Beijing, he didn't bother at will, after all, it was the capital, and the wind of the celebrant was blowing very evil.

Xu Zuodeng hurriedly sent a letter to the Seven Princes of Langya County, although the Seventh Princes only asked about the court, but it was not difficult to protect him from the little emperor, right? It's best if this ministry can escape a catastrophe, if you can't escape, don't blame him for falling into the well, after all, no one will press his net worth to the loser.

Hubu Shangshu, Wu Changling's mansion.

"Master, the Holy Lord privately summoned the official secretary today, which is quite secretive."

"If so, how do you know? What if the little emperor did it on purpose? ”

"Back to the master, I didn't know that I was young, but when I went back to the house, I met Zhao Gonggong who went out of the palace to procure, and chatted a few words, it was when Xu Shangshu left the imperial study, he bumped into him."

"Officials! Officials! I heard that the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry have been at odds with each other, and the little emperor is probably going to attack the Ministry of Industry. It seems to be related to the fugitives who were chased back by the Suppression Division some time ago, regardless of them, let them make trouble, no matter what, it will be beneficial to us. ”

"Sir! Let's just look at it? ”

"Or else? Let's take a look! Standing close is not beautiful. ”

Now the top wants to clean up the Ministry of Labor, and it is not aimed at him Wu Changling. What is he doing in these troubled waters? He didn't have much friendship with the Ministry of Works. After the relationship with Jin Jiu was severed before, he was conscientious and didn't dare to make any mistakes, it was time to fill in the fill, even if the little emperor wanted to clean him up, there was no evidence, there was no merit and no mistake, except that the little emperor was a little obsessed with him every morning, he was really not afraid of Li Zhen attacking him.

——————

Li Hanlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, is now angry at the housekeeper, and the study is smashed in a mess.

"Didn't you say that the good is foolproof? How is that surnamed Chen still alive? ”

"My lord, the assassin had already successfully ambushed the target on the road, but then the Suppression Division sent two more headhunters, and the assassin did not find the opportunity to attack."

"Successfully ambushed the target? Fart! If it succeeds, then why wait for the people of the Pacification Division to pass? ”

"This ......"

"What is this? I can't say it, it's not that the gang of rivers and lakes you are looking for are reckless, and now that the people are in the hands of the Zhenfu Division, the little emperor may not know how to deal with the old man. What do you say now? ”

"My lord, is it too early to worry? Isn't this Chen Xiu unable to produce evidence? ”

"Can't produce proof? How do you know? If there is no evidence, he dares to threaten the old man for so many years? ”

"My lord, the news that our people sent back, after Chen Xiu fled to Yingtianfu, he has been cheating and cheating, looking at this, he is a charlatan. We've probably let this bastard get rid of it for so many years. ”

"When will you change your temperament of listening to the wind and rain? If you really don't know something, the person surnamed Chen dared to take the broken brick and appear in front of us? Swindler? Don't dare to come to Shangshufu to cheat? Think about it! ”

"That'...... My lord, it's better to ...... us."

"What's not as good as what? Don't come up with your bad ideas with the old man! Now that everyone is locked up in some bullshit building, Wei Yong guards people more tightly than he cares about his own father. There was nothing Chen Xiu could do here, so he ordered to go down and keep the assassin's mouth shut! ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"What do you mean? What does that mean? Extinguish! Do you understand? Settle the matter in front of you first, and get rid of the assassin. The old man didn't want to let the little emperor find any excuse to deal with the old man because of a bad thing about buying a murderer to assassinate a court official. "Li Hanlin can be stunned by this stupid guy in front of him, do you have to let him explain?

"Then the subordinate will arrange for men to kill the assassin."

"Come back! What's the hurry? Are all you fools when you are the Pacification Division? Wouldn't it be a place where there is no silver to shoot now? Maybe the man who calmed down the division was waiting for us to make a move. ”

Li Hanlin took two steps and said, "Prepare some more silver taels for that assassin." Tell him to keep doing what he didn't finish. ”

"My lord, isn't Chen Xiu locked up in a dangerous building?"

"Saying that you are stupid, you really don't argue, you can't find Chen Xiu, isn't there still the head catcher who caught Chen Xiu? Tell the assassin to go to the Zhenfu Division to assassinate, if it fails, the assassin is caught, and if he buys the murder, then there is no proof of death, and the Zhenfu Division will definitely not let go of those who dare to enter the Zhenfu Division to commit murder. If he succeeded, the Assassin would have retired, and he would have pushed the matter on the Assassin. The vendetta of the rivers and lakes has nothing to do with us."

"My lord, what if the assassin is captured alive?"

"Huh! Do you know why the old man asked them to assassinate? ”

"My subordinates don't know."

"The old man doesn't fancy their ability, the old man values their integrity, and if they fail, they won't expose their employers, as long as they take the initiative to die, the old man is not afraid of exposure, what he is afraid of is that after they are caught, someone will do something."

"The little one knows what to do!"

"Alright, let's go down."
