The end of the year is approaching, and the matter of the ritual is due to the personal inquiry of His Majesty the Emperor, and the government and the opposition attach great importance to it, and at the same time, this time is also the best time to move between the families, so for a time the Beijing is very lively, and even the workload of the brocade guard is also large.

In the capital, the streets and alleys are full of laughter, as if the chaos of not long ago was a farce.

The huge waves set off by the Chen family, in the increasingly fierce internal fighting of the Chen family's own people, strangely disappeared under the excitement of the New Year, naturally, these are the illusions of outsiders who do not know the truth.

In fact, it was because of Jinyiwei's clear response that all the chaos of the Chen family was isolated from the capital, so that this year in the capital, everyone had a good time.

But this is also a palliative rather than a cure, although Chen Yin, the eldest lady, occupies the main line, but because of the cooperation with Jinyiwei, there are also many different voices within this part of the force.

At the same time, the other two branches of the Chen clan are not good at stubble, the three groups of people come and go, and the clouds are almost the same every day, and even most of the north is not very quiet.

But His Majesty the Emperor didn't care, and Jinyiwei didn't have the time to deal with them at this time, so it made people feel as if no one could help them.

The longer Chen's farce lasts, the more it will be able to undermine the prestige of the imperial court and give confidence to careerists all over the world.

There are many people of insight in the court, for example, Old Master Luo once found Lu Hanjiang and explained to him the harm of this matter, but Lord Lu just didn't take it to heart, and it is said that the old master's scolding resounded throughout the Lu Mansion that day.

And after a few months, Shangguan Shaoqin finally officially boarded Lu Hanjiang's door for the first time, looking at this more majestic and majestic Horse Mansion than the Wang's Mansion, he didn't have any ambition in his heart that he could replace him, but only a sense of relief that everything was finally over.

When he saw the young man sitting in the hall, even though he had been mentally prepared, Shangguan Shaoqin was still a little surprised in his heart.

"I've seen Lord Lu." Shangguan Shaoqin saluted decently.

"Sir doesn't seem surprised to see this official." Lu Hanjiang said, the two looked at each other and smiled, there was no need to mention some words anymore.

"I've been in Beijing for a long time, and I haven't come to visit my lord, this is my fault, and I ask for my forgiveness."

Shangguan Shaoqin said, let the gift be offered, Lu Hanjiang smiled and said nothing, Lao Qian was responsible for bringing the gift and the others down, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Since Mr. is here today, he must have considered the official's proposal." Lu Hanjiang smiled and raised his glass, and the two of them touched each other from afar.

Shangguan Shaoqin took the tea, but he was not in a hurry to drink it: "Lord Lu also knows that this matter has been waiting for many years, and I just hope that one day I will be able to unload this burden." ”

Saying that, Shangguan Shaoqin raised his head, looked at Lu Hanjiang and said: "The current situation, I also know a little bit about it, Jinyiwei has enough odds against the divided Chen family, but if you really want to fight, I am afraid that you are also lacking in skills, especially at this time." ”

"That's a good point." Lu Hanjiang nodded, not denying anything.

"In that case, why do you want to let you step on the Chen family again at this critical time?" Shangguan Shaoqin asked.

When receiving Lu Hanjiang's letter, Shangguan Shaoqin not only saw the signal that Jinyiwei was about to make a move, but also saw the meaning that the other party wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Chen's three points are of course self-destruction of the Great Wall, but Jinyiwei also has to devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle in Beijing, and half-heartedness is never good, so at this time, it is undoubtedly risky to distract and step on Chen's again.

Of course, Shangguan Shaoqin would not be arrogant enough to teach Jinyiwei how to do things, but the first thing he wanted to ensure was the stability of the Shangguan family, and the ultimate goal of everything he did was to get the family out of danger.

But if you are against the Chen family at this juncture, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no situation where Jinyiwei will use it to block the knife, after all, it is risky to do business with Jinyiwei, Qi Yunzhou's experience is still there, and Shangguan Shaoqin will not be careless.

"That's right, it seems that Mr. Shangguan still has concerns."

Lu Hanjiang smiled, put down the teacup and clapped his hands, and the old man outside walked in with a box and put it on the tea table in front of Shangguan Shaoqin.

Shangguan Shaoqin opened it and looked at it, his breathing instantly stagnated, and what was in this box was a blank official certificate.

Lu Hanjiang said leisurely: "You know how capable Jinyiwei is, and you also know how much weight this thing has, so that the old guys in the cabinet can pinch their noses and take out such a thing, Mr. Shangguan is satisfied?" ”

Shangguan Shaoqin took a few deep breaths, and then silently took out the blank official certificate and solemnly put it away, and he said with a straight face: "The sincerity of the lord has been seen below, please rest assured, the agreed matter will definitely do his best." ”

Shangguan Shaoqin got what he wanted, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and when there were only three days left before the year-end ceremony, the drum of grievances outside the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was beaten.

Every day to eat fasting and chant Buddha hope that the whole person is not good, said that the drum of the yamen in the capital is also a legendary object, in the past 100 years, a total of three times have been sounded.

The first repercussions were at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when a shocking case caused the family and the imperial court to completely separate ways, and since then the two sides have been fighting each other for a hundred years, and they are still going on to this day.

The second echo was decades ago, when the old emperor relied on another shocking case, leaving almost half of the courtiers and his brothers behind and sitting on the throne of the crown prince.

And the third echo is today, the past two drums of grievances have been beaten, no matter how the final case is heard, the unlucky Jingzhao Mansion Yin will end up well.

So today, when Lord Yin saw Shangguan Shaoqin dressed in white and standing under the door with a confession in his hand, his eyes were black, as if he had seen his gloomy future.

Lord Fu Yin, who had a bitter face, sighed and said, "Shangguan Shaoqin, what grievances do you have. Report it. ”

Shangguan Shaoqin held up his confession under the gaze of hundreds of people and the eyes of various prefectures, and said in a loud voice: "Back to the words of the adults, the grass people sounded the drum of grievances today, one is to surrender, over the years, the grass people's wives and children have used the business of the Shangguan family to have many private goods with the north, most of which are military horses and weapons, as well as grain and grass. ”

Fu Yin was directly stupid, and then listened to Shangguan Shaoqin continue: "Second, the grass people sued Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of the East Palace, Her Royal Highness Taisun Yu, raising private soldiers, and plotting against them!" ”

Fu Yin's eyes were about to pop out, he opened his mouth wide, he couldn't say a word, so Shangguan Shaoqin continued to finish the third sentence: "Third, the grass people sued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for bullying the king!" ”

Fu Yin, who was already too shocked to speak, finally asked in a trembling voice: "Is there a mistake in the words of the prince of Shangguan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been dead for more than 20 years, where did he come from?"

Shangguan Shaoqin shouted loudly: "This is what the grass people said to bully the king!" The lord is honored, the eldest prince born by the queen, His Royal Highness the crown prince of the dynasty, is still alive! ”

Lord Fu Yin was stunned, there was a dead silence inside and outside the entire yamen, and the three things Shangguan Shaoqin said directly broke the earth, and the sky in the capital was pierced.
