After Lin Hanzhang thought it through, he couldn't help but rush to grief for Shen Huaijin.

He, like everyone else, thought that he had laid out the overall situation, but he didn't know that the scheming Emperor Jiayi was the one who controlled everything.

The reason why the Qingyue court is maintaining a temporary balance is precisely because the forces in the hands of the queen are maintaining the status quo.

But Shen Huaijin also has countless forces in the dark to help, such as Lin Hanzhang, such as Beidaying, such as the forces he found outside.

Because of this, the two have formed a delicate balance within the Forbidden City.

In addition, Shen Huaijin does not often stay in the palace at the moment, so the possibility of friction between the prince's mansion and the queen is very small.

It is precisely because of this that there was no forcible seizure of the prince, or a sudden forced palace.

And Emperor Jiayi can use Shen Huaijin from time to time to test the turmoil in the court, so every time Shen Huaijin returns home, he will always be harassed by everything for a while.

"I heard that the tributes in the treasury of the prince's mansion have been given out in the classics, and the remaining money and herbs of Prince Gong and Weichen Dao are provided by the four princes."

"Didn't the emperor think about how the four princes would come up with this money? Maybe there will be something new. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Hanzhang glanced at Emperor Jiayi quietly, and saw that he was also a little faintly excited, so he said: "I don't know if Your Majesty can answer a few questions from the ministers and let the ministers have more clues." ”

Emperor Jiayi readily agreed, "As long as I know, I will naturally answer you." ”

"I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of the recent situation of King Xiyun?"

"He lives a chic and happy life in his Xiyun, like a fairy, and at the moment he doesn't care about political affairs and state affairs, even if I am in trouble and want to invite him out of the mountain, I can't find where others are."

Emperor Jiayi smiled, "However, it's better than him staying in the capital and pointing fingers at the imperial court." ”

"The prince recently flipped through the account books of the household department and found that the military salary has doubled this year, but it is used for the Yulin Army?"

Lin Hanzhang said this, "Weichen suggested that His Majesty invite the military department to confront him, and there are many doubts in the account book at the moment, if you don't figure this out, many things can't be solved." ”

"Lin Qing, I have a word that I want to say to you."

Emperor Jiayi interrupted him at this time and said, "At this time, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to put it on the table to solve it." If something really happened, it would be impossible for me to investigate and punish Gong Fei at this juncture. ”

Gong Fei is the secretary of the military department and the five-year Tanhualang of Jiayi.

"Previously, Shu Yuanfeng and Qi Ao discussed with me that Wen Lingyun would be appointed as the squire of the military department, this son is talented and can take on great responsibilities in the future."

"Therefore, what I think is that when this person is enough to take charge on his own, it will not be too late to investigate Gong Fei. It's not appropriate to startle the snake right now. ”

Lin Hanzhang said in a deep voice: "What the prince said is true. Now that the four realms are in chaos, the court really shouldn't see blood again. ”

"This matter, if you leave this matter to Prince Gong and this official, you can intimidate Gong Fei at that time, so that he knows that he is a little presumptuous."

Emperor Jiayi nodded, "Just knock it, no need for a heavy hammer." "Recently, I have delegated a lot of power to Huai Jin, if you have anything to do, just look for him." ”

After Lin Hanzhang walked out of the Jinluan Palace, he was about to return to the prince's mansion, but when he saw the purple-covered and ink-colored carriage that Shen Huaijin was sitting in on weekdays, he stretched out his hand and stopped it.

When the horseman saw that someone dared to stop Prince Gong's chariot, because he didn't recognize Lin Hanzhang, and Lin Hanzhang was wearing a mask on his face and a black dress, he subconsciously thought he was an assassin.

Hurriedly said to the car: "Lord be careful, there are assassins!" ”

Shen Huaijin was originally in the car with his eyes closed to recuperate, but when he heard this, he immediately flew out of the car, but saw Lin Hanzhang wearing a silver mask standing in front of him, and his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Seeing that Lin Hanzhang did not make a move on Prince Gong, the horseman peeked at Prince Gong, only to see that the prince's face was gloomy, and then he realized that the man in black and the prince should be acquainted.

Therefore, he led the carriage back, and said tremblingly: "Lord Wang, the slave is clumsy, this lord is not wearing official clothes, so he ......"

"That's it, don't talk nonsense, there is still an urgent matter in this house." After that, he beckoned to Lin Hanzhang, "Are you going back to the inn?" ”

Lin Hanzhang replied to him, "I'm here to find the prince." Since the prince wants to go back to the inn, the minister will also go back. ”

The carriage ran all the way to the largest inn in the capital, the Ronglu Inn.

"Presumably you went to see the emperor today and talked about the account book, but what do you have?"

"Back to the prince, Your Majesty means to let the prince deal with this matter, just knock, don't really deal with this person."

"Oh?" Shen Huaijin's tired eyes opened and closed.

For a while, his brain didn't turn around, "The emperor intends to defend Gong Fei?" If I'm not mistaken, Gong Fei is the queen's party. ”

"The prince misunderstood, because the new test has not yet been able to worship the dynasty and enter the customs, if this person is investigated at this time, there will be no one to take over the post of secretary of the military department."

"According to Your Majesty's intentions, I plan to wait for Wen Lingyun to enter the military department, focus on cultivating this person, and when the time comes, I will investigate Gong Fei."

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Your Majesty's idea is good. It is true that there are fewer and fewer talents in the court at present, and there are many people who are vegetarian in the corpse position. ”

"Although Gong Fei is the queen's party, his efficiency is extremely high, which is why the emperor doesn't really want to investigate him."

Lin Hanzhang took his words, "It's because Your Majesty hopes that the prince can handle this matter, not for him to come forward personally." ”

Shen Huaijin was slightly stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "The emperor really found an excellent reason to be lazy. Since he has said so, if I don't agree, the consequences can be called harmful to the court. ”

The two of them laughed in unison when they heard this.

At the door of the Ronglu Inn, the shopkeeper saw Shen Huaijin and Lin Hanzhang enter the door together, came over busily, and said flatteringly: "Shen Gongzi is back?" ”

Shen Huaijin nodded, didn't say much, went upstairs, pushed open the door, and saw Su Zijin frowning at a table of osmanthus cakes.

couldn't help but feel a little funny, "I'm not here, I can't even eat your favorite osmanthus cake?" ”

Su Zijin saw that it was Shen Huaijin, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, which instantly overshadowed everything around him.

Shen Huaijin looked at the delicate and beautiful face, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, until Su Zijin threw himself into his arms regardless of it, and then said softly: "Okay, aren't I coming back." ”

Although Su Zijin was aggrieved in his heart, he only broke free from his embrace with a slight rub in his arms, and his face was still light and light, "I thought that Mrs. was singing in the palace every night, hugging left and right, so I couldn't miss it." ”
