Hearing this king's promise, Chen Changfeng's face softened a little.

But the matter is not over here, he has not yet joined Zhao Mengqing.

Just when I was thinking about when he would speak, he really flashed his last sword, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Zhao Mengqing: "When Lord Zhao went to court today, he said that he was afraid that he and Gao Shu and Li Jingtang would not come, so there would be nowhere to go below. It seems that Lord Zhao knew that he was going to be involved. ”

Zhao Mengqing, who had been wandering all morning, finally came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Yes, so Zhao came in a hurry." ”

Chen Changfeng didn't appreciate this feeling, raised the piece in his hand, and said majestically: "Lord Zhao's crime is clearly written here, and it doesn't matter if he comes or not. ”

Zhao Mengqing bowed to him: "Lord Chen's words are bad, how can the scolding behind his back be compared to scolding in person, in order to make Lord Chen more relieved when he scolds, he has to come over next." ”

Chen Changfeng frowned: "What does Lord Zhao mean by this, how is it to relieve his anger?" The mistake you made is not sorry for me, but sorry for the people of my Dajin, you should let them relieve their anger. ”

Zhao Mengqing bowed again: "Then can you start now?" He straightened up, straightened his robe, and muttered in a low voice, "I've been waiting all morning, and it's finally my turn." ”

Seeing Zhao Mengqing's appearance of listening to Chen Changfeng in a hurry, this king had a bottom in his heart, and his mood was relaxed, and he looked at them for a long time, ready to watch the play, and suddenly felt that there was a handful of melon seeds at hand.

Chen Changfeng read out the words that had been prepared a long time ago: "On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Mengqing held a birthday banquet in Wanggaolou, and he did not shy away from inviting Gao Ji to return to the court and serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Lord Zhao's behavior is very suspicious, a person who was personally ordered by the emperor to depose his official position and go home to support Gao Shu, why did he specially set up a banquet to invite him out of the mountain? If Gao Ji really has great talents, it would be fine if he could help my Dajin prosperity, but everyone knows that Gao Ji's success in the officialdom depends on him as the prime minister's father. Therefore, Zhao Mengqing and Lord Zhao must have accepted a huge bribe from Gao Shu, so Zhou Zhang would rather ignore the laws of Dajin and promote the criminal to a third-grade waiter in one fell swoop. The minister suggested that Zhao Mengqing's mansion be searched, and if the money and treasures bribed by Gao Shu were found, Zhao Mengqing would be punished together. ”

After saying this paragraph, Chen Changfeng turned to me again: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

"Lord Chen's suspicions are not unreasonable." After saying this, the king lowered his head and continued to drink tea.

"I also feel that Lord Chen's suspicions are justified and convincing, but-" Zhao Mengqing deliberately took off a long tone, and then sighed twice, his face full of sadness, "Alas, alas." Let's not talk about it, isn't it just to share the worries of the king as a courtier, what is the point of a little grievance? I won't defend myself anymore, even if I am executed in the end and become a wild ghost, I will not complain about Lord Chen. I just ask Mr. Chen to think of me on the fifteenth day of the new year, and burn me a paper money. ”

If Chen Changfeng is three hundred taels of silver here, then Zhao Mengqing's words are six hundred taels of silver here.

Anyone who hears Zhao Mengqing's words will feel that he can't bear it, but he is actually very wronged.

Sure enough, when those ministers heard this, they felt that something was wrong, and they persuaded Zhao Mengqing vigorously: "Lord Zhao must talk about his grievances, and he must not carry it himself." ”

"If there is anything hidden, Lord Zhao doesn't have to scruples, he can say it, and he can't take all the blame on himself."

Even Chen Changfeng himself felt that Zhao Mengqing had something to say, and said with a slight anger: "Lord Zhao has been wronged, what are you doing with the ghosts?" ”

Zhao Mengqing borrowed this wave of assists, pretended to be embarrassed for a while, and finally hesitated to say his words: "If you say that it is the emperor's plan to let Gao Ji go to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a waiter, does Lord Chen believe it or not?" ”

The teacup in the king's hand was stunned, and he almost spilled the tea - Zhao Mengqing actually dared to push this matter to Wei Tian?

Chen Changfeng glared: "I only believe in the truth." ”

Zhao Mengqing sighed twice: "Alas, alas, if Lord Chen only believes the facts, then you just said that I accepted Gao Shu's bribery, but there is actually no evidence, but you swear by it, as if you are very confident that you will let you sit in prison." ”

"It is precisely because I want to prove this speculation that I asked His Royal Highness King Chong'an to order a search of Lord Zhao's mansion."

"Lord Chen, although the mansion below is not as good as this majestic palace, nor is it as good as the pavilions and pavilions of the tall Lord Li's house, it is not someone who wants to search it." Zhao Mengqing's eyes were cold, and he suddenly became stiff when he stood with his hands in his hands, "The first thing the emperor did after ascending the throne was to reward the ministers who accompanied him through the difficulties and returned to the throne. At that time, the emperor gave a holy decree of exemption from death, a holy decree of exemption from responsibility, and a holy decree with the same status as the emperor's relatives. ”

Chen Changfeng was dumbfounded by Zhao Mengqing's words: "You ......"

"Besides, I didn't make a mistake in the next place." Zhao Mengqing raised his head and faced the ministers of the main hall, "Do you think that who asked Lord Chen to collect Gao and Li's crimes and confiscate their family property?" ”

The ministers responded: "Naturally, it is the emperor." ”

"Do you think that how did the emperor know that Gao and Li were greedy for huge wealth? Is it just based on speculation like Lord Chen's? ”

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you below. How wise the saint is, he secretly appointed Zhao, first recruited Gao Ji to his side, and then secretly investigated how much Gao and Li's family property was through Gao Ji. In the end, the emperor found out the details and secretly prevented them from transferring their family wealth, so he sent Lord Chen to investigate and raid the house. The saint is wise and the world, and we are really beyond the reach of the dust. ”

The ministers echoed and said, "Holy Wisdom—"

Don't talk about Chen Changfeng, even the people who know the inside story and know that he can't go to court because of Wei Tian, so the people who are talking nonsense here feel that Zhao Mengqing is telling the truth.

I took a sip of tea and didn't make a sound, just looked at Chen Changfeng to see how he ended.

Even though Chen Changfeng's expression was a little twisted, he still believed what Zhao Mengqing said, bent down and bowed: "I blame Lord Zhao for my mistake, and I ask Lord Zhao to understand." ”

Zhao Mengqing was very generous, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, in fact, Zhao mainly wants to tell Lord Chen that the mansion below is not something that others can enter if they want to, let alone search it." ”

Chen Changfeng's throat moved, and he nodded: "Remember." ”

The king smiled serenely: "Gao Shu Li Jingtang's corruption case, what do you ministers think?" Seeing that everyone shook their heads, I put down the teacup, got up and said, "Since there is none, let's disperse." Lord Chen remembered to write a detailed record of today's court discussions, presented a copy to the emperor, and also handed a copy to the king. ”

Chen Changfeng bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

I thought that today's events would be understood here, but when I walked out of Zhong Qidian, Chen Changfeng caught up again.

"His Royal Highness King Chong'an."

I looked back at him, "Is there anything else going on, Lord Chen?" ”

He bowed to me and said, "I have a personal matter here, and I want to ask Your Highness for help." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

He looked left and right for a while, and saw that Zhao Mengqing had already walked to the front, before he took out a crumpled book from his official robe.

I took a look, it was the second volume of "Seven Kingdoms Gods of War Spirit", and I was immediately shocked.

Chen Changfeng pointed to the title of the book and asked, "Has Your Highness read the first volume of this book before?" ”

I thought about the relationship between Chen Changfeng and Cheng Yu, and felt that there was nothing to avoid in this case, so I generously admitted: "An old friend recommended me to watch it." ”

"This is the next volume I borrowed from the emperor's library," he quickly added, fearing that I would question him, "It was promised by the emperor." ”

"Well, Lord Chen must respect the rules and regulations when doing things." I said.

"However, I feel that there is something wrong with this book."

I glanced at the cover of the book in his hand, and although it looked like the real thing, I could tell at a glance that this book was not the one I had read through the night, but I still pretended to be stupid and said, "What's the problem?" ”

Chen Changfeng frowned: "This book has been in the hands of Lord Zhao for half a year, and the minister has borrowed it from him many times, but he has not finished reading it. I went to borrow it again last month, but he said he had returned it to the library. I hurriedly went to borrow it, but found that the content of the next volume was a little incoherent with the previous volume...... I don't know if Your Highness has read the next volume, can you help me take a look at it, is this genuine? ”

I was silent for three seconds.

didn't take the next volume he handed over, looked up at the not bright sky, and said with a smile: "This king's next words, Lord Chen should listen to them." ”

He bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"Whoever forsakes me, he shall not remain in the day of yesterday. Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. The so-called knife cuts off the water, and the water flows more, and the toast is more sorrowful. It's better to let go, leave good thoughts, go to grudges, and forget worries. ”

After that, he threw off his sleeves and strode away, leaving Chen Changfeng stunned in place.

The king didn't know what he meant, but he was just tempting.

Tempting whether this king has read the next volume, testing whether this king is with Zhao Mengqing, and even the content written in the book he took may be the real content of the next volume, he deliberately let me read it, and then observe my reaction, testing whether I will use the hatred technique to overthrow Wei Tian in one fell swoop and ascend to the throne.

But this king did not take his trick, but told him that passage, let him understand it carefully, and then relayed it to Cheng Yu in its original form.

Yes, that passage was actually said to Cheng Yu. Hypocrisy and wrongdoing, pretending to be stupid and procrastinating will not solve the problem, the life limit of this king is not far away, come early when it should come, and the rest of the time and the future of Dajin will be left to Zhao Mengqing.
