Chapter 108: Confession

Soon Wang Chengen came in with the decoctioned medicine. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the supervision of Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen, Lin Yi pinched his nose and drank the medicine in one go, drank a few large mouthfuls of water and rinsed his mouth to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth, and then continued to lie down and rest under the satisfied eyes of Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen - at least Lin Yi didn't have any chance to get up and move today, let alone go out of the palace to Wang Jingyuan's house to see Zhao Qi and them.

After leaving Lin Yi alone in the dormitory to "recuperate" and telling her to rest, Xiao Mu left with Wang Chengen.

On the way, Xiao Mu asked, "The eldest companion just came to look for me, but what's the matter?" ”

"The slave almost forgot!" Wang Chengen listened to Xiao Mu's question, and then remembered that he originally came to the emperor for something, but when he saw the emperor and Niangniang falling to the ground, he only cared about checking the injuries and looking for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the matter, and forgot all the reasons why he came to the emperor in the first place.

"Back to the emperor, Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law asked to see him." Wang Chengen hurriedly said.

"Oh? Cao Huachun wants to see me, I don't know what's going on, hurry up and go with me to see him! "Since Cao Huachun came to ask for a meeting, there must be something important to report to him, otherwise, he could still come to talk to him?

It's just that Xiao Mu doesn't know what Cao Huachun is looking for him, could it be that the matter of redressing the unjust case has been repeated again? But think about it again, there shouldn't be such a thing, after all, rehabilitating Wei's unjust case is a thing that everyone likes to see, and he hasn't held too many people accountable, so Cao Huachun shouldn't be subject to much resistance in this matter. But if it weren't for this incident, Xiao Mu really couldn't think of anything else that Cao Huachun would have to do to see him.

So Xiao Mu, who had doubts in his heart, also sped up his pace and took Wang Chengen to see Cao Huachun together.

"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor." Cao Huachun saw Xiao Mu, of course, he saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, I heard from my eldest companion that you have something important to tell me, I don't know what the matter is?" Of course, Xiao Mu still avoided Cao Huachun's red tape, and asked directly to the point.

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid do have something important to report." Cao Huachun replied, "The slave maid received the report from the East Factory and found that there have been many tandem actions of the ministers of the DPRK and China in recent days. ”

"Oh? Ministers tandem? Why do they have to go in tandem with each other? What can be connected in series? After Xiao Mu listened to Cao Huachun's words, he didn't react and continued to ask.

In fact, if it were a person with a little political common sense to sit in Xiao Mu's seat, he would definitely already know what Cao Huachun said about what the ministers were connecting in, but who made Xiao Mu just a dead college student who had been repeating a grade for two years and staying in the dormitory all day long, and was extremely slow about political things?

So Cao Huachun briefly told Xiao Mu what happened in the mansion of Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru a few days ago, especially last night.

At this time, Xiao Mu finally understood what Cao Huachun meant by the series of ministers.

In fact, it stands to reason that this news should have been known this morning, before Xiao Mu went to court, but the supervision of the hundred officials is mainly responsible for Jinyiwei, because Emperor Chongzhen has been more strict in the constraints on Jinyiwei after his accession to the throne, and Jinyiwei's command makes Luo Yangxing busy with interrogating Du Laoliu, and is in full swing at this time, and there are some omissions in other things. did not find out in time and tell Xiao Mu, the emperor, about these things that the ministers had planned at home in the past few days.

is very similar to the situation of Jinyiwei, also in order to avoid disturbing people's livelihood and framing loyalty, Dongchang was also strictly restrained by Emperor Chongzhen. Especially after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, the East Factory did not have an absolute authority to lead, which was basically like a plate of loose sand, which also objectively led to the low efficiency of the East Factory. And the responsibility of the East Factory is mainly responsible for supervising the Jinyiwei, not directly supervising the hundred officials, although there is no such strict boundary in the actual operation, but after all, it is "specialized in the art industry", and the efficiency of the supervision of the hundred officials is still not as high as that of the Jinyiwei.

Therefore, it was not until now, long after the early dynasty had ended, that this matter was reported to Xiao Mu by Cao Huachun, who was also an envoy in the East Factory.

It can be said that this information has basically lost any meaningful timeliness at this time, Xiao Mu is also a little afraid after knowing it, if it is not that he is unwilling to waste too much time on the meaningless early court, and directly put forward the matter of commending the sect, but hesitates slightly, according to the original rhythm of "something to start, nothing to retreat", I am afraid that there is likely to be crazy and bold political speculators to appear, preemptively "have something to play", and directly make something moth.

At that time, other officials who smelled the bloody smell of political strife followed up one after another, whether it was to impeach Lai Zongdao and other cabinet elders, or to propose the election of new cabinet elders, Xiao Mu would be in a very passive situation. In that case, the situation above the court may be difficult to control, and in the face of such a big trouble, Xiao Mu feels that he should have no other good way than to continue to pretend to be dizzy.

As for the reason for the connection between Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru and other officials, even if Cao Huachun didn't need to tell him, Xiao Mu could think of it with his toes. In fact, the reason why Xiao Mu wanted to solve the problem of resigning from the sect so quickly was to avoid turmoil in the court, and the officials only cared about fighting for power and profit and had no heart to deal with the government. It's just that Xiao Mu still underestimated the reaction speed of these courtiers under him, although Xiao Mu thought that the speed of solving it was very fast, but what he was worried about still happened.

But fortunately, he accidentally stumbled into it in the early morning and solved such a serious potential problem by chance, and Xiao Mu also called it a fluke in his heart.

It wasn't until after Cao Huachun left that Xiao Mu was still thinking about this matter during lunch - the entanglements between Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren in history that Lin Yi had told him about it seemed to reappear in another way after he crossed over. Although the position of the first assistant of the sect is still very stable now, and the other cabinet elders have no intention of giving advice, and there is no vacant position in the cabinet for the time being, Xiao Mu can be sure that if he doesn't do anything, as long as there are other opportunities in the future, the temporarily suppressed contradiction between Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru will break out sooner or later, and with the accumulation of contradictions, the energy and destructive power generated when it erupts in the future will probably be stronger.
