After several months, Jiang Bowen finally returned to Beijing at the end of May.

When he returned, he didn't even have time to change his court clothes, and walked up to the Jinluan Hall to participate in the court meeting with a tired face.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

Jiang Bowen knelt on the ground and saluted Emperor Jin An with a sincere expression.

The surrounding courtiers were very silent, but they all secretly looked at Jiang Bowen at this time.

Wang Zheyan sighed secretly in his heart, looked at Zhao Li and shook his head silently, signaling not to act rashly.

The Huaihe River Water Conservancy Project was originally a difficult bone to gnaw, and when everyone avoided it, Jiang Bowen gnawed it down with the strength of one person and successfully solved the hidden danger of flooding.

In His Majesty's heart, I must think that his importance will rise to another level.

In this way, who else in the court can compete with him?

Seeing his return, Emperor Jin An, who had already learned that the Huaihe Water Conservancy had successfully ended, was overjoyed, and in order to show his favor, he even stepped down from the dragon chair and personally helped him up: "Aiqing is exempt, the Taishi is back this time, and I am very relieved." ”

Following the force from his shoulder, Jiang Bowen got up with a thousand thanks, and then raised his head slightly, his eyes shone slightly, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and completely showed the blue and black under the eyes of Emperor Jin An.

Seeing him so tired, Emperor Jin An sighed with emotion: "It's hard for Aiqing to travel for months, and this time I will return to Beijing to rest for a while, don't be tired and hurt the pillars of our country." ”

"Sharing worries for Your Majesty and solving problems for the people is what Wechen should do, but fortunately, this time it lived up to expectations and successfully solved the hidden dangers of the country, and also solved a matter of Wechen's heart."

Hearing Jiang Anwen's words of deep righteousness, and then looking at his serious and serious expression, the courtiers all sighed in their hearts, Jiang Bowen deserved to be the head of the ministers, and what he did made people unable to find fault with it.

He is so thoughtful, it is no wonder that His Majesty favors him.

Calculating the time, he had to travel for several days and nights on the way, without rest, before he could arrive in Shangjing today.

Even if you are exhausted, you don't forget to return to Beijing as soon as possible - how much mental support does this have to do!

Zhao Li has been hostile to him for many years, and he has long been accustomed to his cautious approach, but some courtiers obviously don't know, looking at such a Jiang Taishi, they can't help but secretly admire.

Such loyal ministers are the example they can learn from, which is beneficial to the country and the people.

Only such people are qualified to be recorded in the history books, so that the people of all ages admire and love.

Among the courtiers, their expressions were either excited or uncontrollable.

can still remain calm and rational, except for a few ministers led by Zhao Li, only Qi Changrong has a faint smile on his face.

There was nothing in her eyes, only a palpitating blank, indifferent and terrifying.

Jiang Bowen's return was expected by her, and if it wasn't for the Jun family secretly sending people to stop him, maybe he would have arrived in Shangjing earlier.

Although she had already anticipated today's scene, when the courtiers did their best to praise and praise Jiang Anwen's spirit of giving up my life, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart.

And then little by little it sinks down.

Others don't know, but she knows it very well.

Where Jiang Bowen is seeking the well-being of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, he is clearly paving the way for his own future.

Only by getting his father to trust him 100% can he continue with the next plan.

Looking back on his previous life, Jiang Bowen did the same, even risking his own life and health, risking his life several times to travel, just for the stability of the country.

Facts have proved that what he did has achieved great results, he not only won the support of hundreds of officials, but also created his image of loving the people like a son in front of the people.

So in the end, the Liang army broke through the imperial city under his leadership, and there were still many people with an incredulous attitude.

No one would have imagined that such a virtuous minister would be an undercover agent sent by the enemy to destroy the country.

And he's patient enough.

Having been undercover for decades without anyone noticing is enough to prove his wisdom and means.

Today is also one of his strategies to buy people's hearts.

Qi Changrong could almost imagine what would happen in the next moment, according to the news from the people of Junmen, in the process of preventing Jiang Bowen from returning to Beijing, he accidentally injured his arm with an arrow.

After days of traveling, he will not be able to recuperate, and the injury on his arm should still be shocking.

You don't have to think about it to know that now he will make a fuss about his wounds.

If you don't let everyone know about his contributions, how can everyone remember his merits deeply?

Sure enough, as soon as this idea crossed Qi Changrong's mind, she heard Jiang Bowen's voice enduring the pain and gasping.

Seeing Jiang Bowen's pale face, Emperor Jin An's expression changed suddenly, and when he looked at his arm, a faint trace of blood seeped out of his clothes.

"Aiqing is injured?!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a faint commotion in the court.

Even Zhao Li, who had been lowering his eyelids, lifted his eyelids slightly, and then looked at Jiang Bowen casually.

"I'm tired of Your Majesty's concern, it's just a minor injury, and the accompanying doctor has already seen it, and it's fine." Jiang Bowen's voice was a little sleepy and painful.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to mention it, Emperor Jin An was silent for a moment, and then asked: "On this trip, I specially sent palace guards to accompany me to protect him, with them by my side, how could Aiqing be injured?" ”

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious.

And to some extent, Emperor Jin An and Zhao Li are similar, otherwise, they would not have been at odds for many years.

Qi Changrong stood quietly aside, speculating on their mental activities.

At this time, they should be thinking about whether Jiang Bowen's injury was his injury or self-injury with another purpose.

In Zhao Li's subconscious, he may have long been convinced that Jiang Bowen had ulterior motives.

But this time, he really guessed wrong.

Hearing Emperor Jin's question, Jiang Bowen smiled bitterly: "On the way back, I was unlucky, I encountered a group of bandits blocking the road and robbing them, and the thieves were very good, not to mention robbing a batch of property, and also injured a few good guards, and the injuries of the ministers...... That's how it came about. ”

"Which mountain thief dares to be so bold that even the traveling team of the imperial court dares to stop it?!"

Jiang Bowen shook his head: "The minister doesn't know, the minister is ashamed, in the fight, in order to protect the safety of the minister, the palace guards did not dare to pursue, and there was not even a single person left." ”

After speaking, Jiang Bowen lowered his head as if he was depressed.

The way that group of people is too strange, they don't look like ordinary bandits, but more like people in the rivers and lakes, as if someone deliberately arranged to wait for him halfway.

The people behind it should not want him to return to Shangjing too soon.

But why? Who did it?

Moreover, after a few days of delay, the mistake was that he attended his son's wedding.

Could it be that the person behind it is afraid that he will come back and ruin Jiang You's marriage with the Twelfth Princess?

He thought about it for a long time, thought about it, and couldn't find a certain person in the huge court.

If you say you are suspicious, you are suspicious.

For example, Yang Yishu, who had a problem with him because he would try.

Another example, Zhao Li, who has been secretly competing with him for many years.

For example, Jun Chen, the general who returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year......

Even Emperor Jin An is among the objects of his suspicion, after all, he is powerful, and he has always liked to weaken the power of one side by marrying his daughter.

"It's rubbish!" Emperor Jin An scolded: "The bandits who can't wait for a long time should have been sent by the imperial court to destroy them, lest they bring disaster to the people!" ”

Emperor Jin An's reaction was too real, it didn't seem to be half a fake, and the anger in his words was also sincere.

At least at this moment, he wanted to exterminate all the bandits in the Great Jin.

Jiang Bowen paused, and quietly crossed Emperor Jin An from the list of suspicions.

Not him.

If so, then this emperor is inevitably too terrifying.

However, after the temptation, Jiang Bowen was not worried at all.

As a favored courtier, he knows Emperor Jin An too well, if Emperor Jin An can do such a quiet thing, he will not be deceived by himself for so many years without knowing it.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, there are many thieves in the world, how can it be wiped out in a while? When there is a God-given opportunity, it is not too late to settle accounts. Jiang Bowen's voice regained his calm, the injury on his arm was no more than flesh and blood pain for him, and it was not enough to make him frown.

Emperor Jin An thought silently for a moment, and also felt that this was the truth.

No matter how strong the imperial court is, it can't be perfect.

patted Jiang Bowen's other uninjured shoulder, and Emperor Jin An sighed: "In this way, I will be wronged by Aiqing." ”

If you can't find the culprit, you can't avenge him.

Jiang Bowen knew that this dumb man had to eat it.

Emperor Jin An thought for a while, his voice was soothing, and he said: "Aiqing has made a great contribution, and when he returns, he should set up a banquet in the palace and announce the good news to the people." ”

The courtiers chimed in.

"Yes, the master has worked hard and worked hard."

"It should be rewarded."

"That's right."

At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Report! There are 800 miles in the southeast and there is an urgent need to go up to the heavens! ”

The Land of the Southeast?!

Qi Changrong frowned, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

The Jinluan Hall was silent for an instant, and no one dared to mention the celebration anymore.

They knew that it would not be a good thing to take the eight-hundred-mile urgent telegram into the Jinluan Hall at such a time.

Emperor Jin An waved his hand, turned back to the dragon chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "Bring it up." ”

The messenger bowed his head and walked briskly from outside.

He knelt in the center of the Jinluan Palace, took out the envelope with body temperature from his bosom, and presented it with his hands respectfully.

The eunuch was summoned to take it from him, and after checking that there were no problems, it was transferred to the hands of Emperor Jin An.

The folded paper unfolded in Emperor Jin An's hand, and the bright red and frantic words were printed on the bottom of his eyes, as if with the smell of dried blood.

The more he looked at it, the more ugly Jin Anhuang's face became, and in the end it was as black as the bottom of the pot.

The atmosphere grew heavier, and the courtiers were silent when they smelled unease.

The hand holding the letter paper hung down weakly, and Emperor Jin An slowly closed his eyes, and a trace of pain crossed his eyes.

"In the southeast, there is a riot."
