Outside the Qianqing Palace, the wind is bleak.

Zhao Chen stood quietly on the jade steps, and when the wind blew, his back was cold with cold sweat.

A short time for parents...

But if she said the wrong thing just now, what was waiting for her would not be an official position, but a torrential rain and unpredictable heavens.

Her eyes sank, and she walked towards the outside of the palace.

A knife that can be held, a dog that anyone dares to bite, a waste man who never needs to worry...

If it weren't for Emperor Chu hitting her with the idea, she really didn't realize that she was so suitable.

The corners of her lips were gently curled, and all the temperature was wiped away by the cold wind, leaving only a cold and extreme arc.

………

Taibai in the east of the city is in the center.

Zhao Chen half-lay on the soft chair, bored and pricked up his ears to listen, until a familiar footstep approached.

The door was knocked open and then pushed open, and Zhao Hanqing, dressed in moon-white clothes, walked in.

"Haven't you always disliked this kind of place?" He asked as he sat down.

"If my cousin likes it, it's fine." Zhao Chen half-got up and poured him a glass of wine, and asked with a smile: "I suddenly invited you here, didn't disturb you to do something, right?" ”

Zhao Hanqing suddenly frowned, stared at her and asked, "You don't have a good face, is something wrong?" ”

"It's a good thing." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "Your Majesty has made me an official, and we will be officials in the same dynasty in the future." ”

Zhao Hanqing's eyebrows tightened, "What position?" ”

"It's not high, supervise the imperial history, and in the future, I will beg for food under Lao Xie's hands, and I don't know if he will hold a grudge, if he gives me small shoes to wear..."She said to herself, but she saw that Zhao Hanqing's expression was getting more and more ugly.

She pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong with my cousin?" ”

"I'll go to the palace to ask for my resignation in a while, and I'll go with you." Zhao Hanqing's voice was deep, and his eyes were cold.

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "That's not good, I'm finally going to be an official-"

"Shi'an!" Zhao Hanqing abruptly interrupted her, "What is the Imperial History?" Your Majesty wants you to enter the court to stir up the situation, and you want to take the road of a lonely minister! Do you know the consequences? ”

Seeing that Zhao Chen didn't answer, he slowed down his voice: "The court is no less dangerous than the battlefield, and in the power struggle, it is easy to worry about your life, Shi'an, you listen to your cousin, don't get involved, be your Prince of Peace." ”

Zhao Chen's eyes were full of smiles, and he kept staring at him, as if he wanted to see him in his heart.

Zhao Hanqing thought that she didn't realize the seriousness, so she slowed down and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for many years, but the power has always been vested in the important ministers, Prime Minister Wen and Master Xie check and balance each other, and Wu You's father and Zhongshan King are in each place..."

“… But since last year, His Majesty has been planning to take back military power and disrupt the situation... He is not satisfied with no merit and no fault, he wants to be the emperor who will leave a name in history... Shi'an, think about it, how many bones will be needed to pave the way for him? ”

He wrapped his arms around Zhao Chen's shoulders, his expression was clean, and he said word by word: "You can't make one of them." ”

Zhao Chen smiled even brighter, blinked and asked, "Are you worried about my little life?" ”

Zhao Hanqing froze for a moment, slowly withdrew his hand in his sleeve, retracted his hand and asked silently, "Are you testing me?" ”

"Cousin." Zhao Chen leaned towards him with a low smile, "Sometimes it's too good for people, and it will make people hairy." ”

There was a long silence –

Zhao Hanqing's bright eyebrows seemed to freeze.

After a while, he said softly: "You are the son of King Huan Lie Zhongwu, and there is only one King Huan Lie Zhongwu in Great Chu, he... You are the only son. ”

Zhao Chen gradually narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't care for me so much. ”

"He only has the emperor's deeds in his heart." Zhao Hanqing's voice was flat, "Don't say it's you, the sixth man lost his life, and he was just angry that the imperial power was provoked." ”

"Shi'an, never have family affection for him, Jun is Jun, high up, looking down on all living beings, everyone is just his minister, you can be sacrificed by him at any time, and you are no exception."

Zhao Chen opened his eyes and said, "Then you should also know that he is determined to let me enter the court, so it is not something I can refuse, anyway, this dog has to be, it is better to be obedient." ”

He looked at her and slowly let go of the hand in his sleeve, "It's good that you can see it, since you have your own thoughts, I won't persuade you much, remember to be careful in everything, don't be careless, there is never a shortage of smart people in the court." ”

"Isn't there a cousin?" She grinned and tugged at his sleeve, "You and Shi'an are in the same group." ”

Zhao Hanqing shook his head and smiled, patting the back of her hand, "Yes, no matter who is still standing on your ship, there will definitely be me who stays in the end..."

——

When the two came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Xie Duanzheng was holding the holy decree and was distracted.

Seeing Zhao Chen, there was a slight pity in his eyes, but he still said in a solemn manner: "The official uniform and the letter are all prepared for you, from tomorrow, the hour will be on duty, and the afternoon will be on duty..."

"Lao Xie, don't lose your face, we will be chopsticks in a pot in the future." Zhao Chen smiled brightly, "I used to be muddy, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me." ”

Xie Duan's beard trembled, and he was about to say something.

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Hanqing bowed his hand respectfully, "Shi'an will have to take care of you more in the future, if there is anything unsatisfactory, you just have to come to the lower officials." ”

Xie Duan looked at them, put away the holy decree again, and then said: "Lord Zhao, this brother deserves to be competent, rest assured, as long as Prince Wu is willing to follow the rules, the old man will not have anything unagreeable." ”

"Lao Xie, don't worry." Zhao Chen sat crookedly on the chair, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "With me, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be like a tiger with wings, and I will definitely be able to sweep the court and stand alone in the future——"

"Enough!" Xie Duan interrupted her and put on a straight face, "All official documents, case files, transcripts... You are not allowed to do anything, you are not allowed to act in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, if there is anything you can do directly, you can go directly to Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Chen's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "You mean that my immediate boss is not you?" ”

Xie Duan nodded with a gentle face: "Your Majesty has a decree to allow you to perform in front of the Holy Saint anytime and anywhere... On behalf of the Son of Heaven, you can patrol all over the world, inside and outside the court, and there is no one who cannot be picketed and impeached..."

He paused, and added uncomfortably: "No matter what you do, you don't need to go through my Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

"Good, good." Zhao Chen stroked his palms and smiled, stared at him and said, "Then let's talk about the case of fake silver tickets first." ”

Xie Duan was stunned, and looked at Zhao Hanqing suddenly, slightly dissatisfied.

The latter's expression was indifferent, and he arched his hand and said: "Boss, Xiaguan and Shi'an have no lineage, most of the credit for this case still belongs to you and Lord Jiang, you only need to meet what Lord Jiang mentioned, and for the rest, the two of us don't ask for much." ”

"Xia Guan has been a member of the Criminal Department for nearly three years, and now Zuo Lang is old... As for Shi'an, in the future, under the wind and rain, I hope you can protect him and pull him, so it is enough. ”

Xie Duan frowned and groaned, and sighed lightly after a while: "Lonely minister, the old man has only walked a little on this road, and he has been alienated from the court... Prince Wu still has to take care of himself. ”

Hearing that he didn't refuse, Zhao Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to start talking about business, a person hurriedly ran in outside.

The people who came were disheveled, their steps were hurried, and their bodies exuded a strong burning smell.

Zhao Chen suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but change his expression.
