Qian'an Palace, in the study.

Emperor Jingren sat at the table, reading the music without raising his head, with a slight hint of impatience in his eyes.

Below, two men, one old and one middle-aged, stood respectfully aside.

The old man was Wen Chen's acquaintance, Cui Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the middle-aged man was sweating profusely at this time, and his face was ugly, it was Xu Youzhong, the secretary of Dali Temple who helped Chen Qian in the case of Chen Chongzhi's father and son.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu was just confused for a while, and he didn't intend to prevent the Zhenguo Division from handling the case, besides, the case of Chen Chongzhi's father and son is full of suspicions, and the two of them died in the edict prison, so it is inevitable that they will be tortured, so it is better to let Lord Xu make meritorious contributions, and maybe find out some details that His Majesty does not know......"

As he spoke, he poked Xu Youzhong on the side with his elbow.

Xu Youzhong hurriedly echoed, "Your Majesty, for the sake of Wechen's dedication to serving the first emperor, I also ask Your Majesty to give Wechen a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Emperor Jingren didn't raise his head, and said in a flat voice, "Lord Xu, returning to your hometown is the last dignity I gave you, you have to cherish it." ”

The two glanced at each other when they heard this, Cui Wei frowned lightly and shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, Wen Chen is still young, and he only makes decisions based on his likes and dislikes, the old minister thinks that even if this person has outstanding ability, he should have more experience and experience underneath, and he should not be pushed to the position of the Dongchang factory so early."

Cui Wei can't make a plan and make another plan, if the plea is not good, he can only take a roundabout route to weaken Wen Chen's power, maybe things will take a turn.

"Don't worry, Cui Gong, I have a spectrum in my heart." Emperor Jingren glanced up at him.

When Cui Wei heard this, he suddenly lost his temper, in his opinion, Wen Chen was a complete traitorous villain!

At the beginning, when he knew how Wei Cheng died, in order to collect money, he fooled hundreds of officials and forced them to bow to the eunuchs in Dongchang, and even Jin Chengwen, the left waiter of the household department, who he had always been optimistic about, became a lackey of Dongchang!

And a few days ago, with only the road map of a seven or eight-year-old girl's scribble, it was determined that Chen Qian was the culprit of human trafficking.

Maybe this is a play directed and acted by Wen Chen, framing the loyal and good of the imperial court, and then gradually forcing hundreds of officials to succumb to his obscenity, and Wei Cheng of the first emperor is simply the same as Wei Cheng!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has always been very accurate in looking at people, that Wen Chen is by no means a good thing, if this person is not removed, it will be my Dasheng's confidant in the future!"

"The old minister implores His Majesty to take back his order, and orders the three law divisions to thoroughly investigate Wen Chen, Lord Xu has been in charge of Dali Temple for many years, and has rich experience in handling cases, it is better to entrust this matter to him, the old minister is all for the sake of Dasheng Jiangshan Sheji, for the sake of Your Majesty, and please ask Your Majesty to know clearly!"

Cui Wei's tone was sonorous, with a sense that could not be refused.

Emperor Jingren's face was slightly stunned, and he narrowed his eyes, "Is Gong Cui ordering me?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, it's just that the eunuchs who have interfered in politics in all dynasties are the scourge of the country, and the old minister doesn't want to see the prosperity of Dasheng ruined in the hands of such a villain!" Cui Wei was not to be outdone.

"Master Cui, it's not a good habit to chew your tongue behind other people's backs!" There was a sudden chuckle outside the door.

A few people turned their heads, only to see Wen Chen strolling in with a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Wen Chen has seen Your Majesty."

"If the people have spoken to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Xiao Ruyi diligently bowed to Emperor Jingren.

The little emperor sighed softly, "Get up." ”

After that, he gave Wen Chen a look, meaning that he didn't want to entangle too much with these two old things, so Wen Chen quickly sent them away.

Wen Chen realized in an instant, his gaze swept over Cui Wei, and stayed on Xu Youzhong, "This is Lord Xu of Dali Temple, right?" ”

"It's this official!" Xu Youzhong straightened his waist and said seriously.

"Our family heard outside that Lord Xu is dissatisfied with our family and wants to check our family?"

"Hmph, is Grandpa Wen scared?" Xu Youzhong asked rhetorically.

Wen Chen pretended to be embarrassed and nodded, "I'm really a little worried, Lord Xu's reputation for being brave in handling cases, our family has also heard of it, and the Qingshu case seven years ago was handled by Lord Xu, right?" Our family doesn't want to end up with those traitors, so please show mercy to Lord Xu's subordinates when the time comes! ”

Xu Youzhong, who was originally calm, suddenly shook his body when he heard the words "Qingshu Case", and his expression became unnatural.

This case was caused by a book written in the harem of the first emperor that slandered the emperor and humiliated the ministers, and the impact was bad and widespread.

The most important thing is that this matter is the former Dongchang factory Gong Wei became a means to eradicate dissidents, and Xu Youzhong at that time had something to ask for, so when he supervised the case, he obeyed Wei Cheng's instructions and fabricated a lot of false evidence to help Wei Cheng kill Zhongliang.

thought that as soon as Wei Cheng died, this matter would be over, but he didn't expect to be involved by Wen Chen now, how did he know about it?

Cui Wei looked at Xu Youzhong, whose face was pale, suspiciously, "Lord Xu, you are talking!" ”

Xu Youzhong forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, suddenly turned around, and arched his hand towards Emperor Jingren, "Your Majesty, Weichen suddenly felt unwell, and asked His Majesty to let Weichen make another decision, and Weichen retreated first." ”

"Go ahead." The little emperor waved his hand casually and glanced at Wen Chen with interest.

In a few words, I solved a big problem, I really have you!

Seeing that the protagonists had left, Cui Wei, who was a lobbyist, was in a very awkward situation, glared at Wen Chen with some resentment, and then said goodbye to Emperor Jingren and prepared to leave.

"Master Cui, please stay." Wen Chen suddenly spoke behind his back.

Cui Wei turned his head and stared at Wen Chen with an unkind face, "The surname Wen, others are afraid of you, but the old man is not afraid of you, what are the indiscriminate means, just use it!" ”

Wen Chen shook his head and smiled, "Our family just wants to remind Master Cui that the Fan of the East Factory has recently found traces of Lord Cui's grandson near the Outer City Teaching Division, what to do, Master Cui thinks about it himself." ”

Cui Wei's face changed after hearing this, Dongchang has always been pervasive, if Wen Chen's words are true, he will have to teach this little bastard a good lesson when he goes back, but if it is fake, it means that Wen Chen has targeted his family and threatened himself with this!

"Father-in-law Wen, with your status, you shouldn't make a move on the child, right?"

Wen Chen listened to this slightly cowardly tone, and chuckled, "Our family is a righteous man and a gentleman, how could we do such a thing?" It's just a whim to care for the flowers of my next generation, don't be too careful! ”

Cui Wei's face was gloomy, and he couldn't tell how much of the other party's words was true and how much was false.

"Farewell!"

After seeing Cui Wei leave, Emperor Jingren looked at Wen Chen with some doubts, "I remember, that Cui Xiaobao is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he really went to the Teaching Workshop Division?" ”

Wen Chen shook his head, "Wechen can't be busy with what he should be busy with, how can he have the leisure to take care of him, it's just that kid bullied Ruyi today, and Wechen is just looking for a place for Ruyi." ”

Don't think about it, with Cui Wei's eyes not rubbing sand, it is inevitable to find out this matter, Cui Xiaobao's beating today is indispensable.

The little emperor shook his head helplessly, "You are really, and the children will not let go." ”

As he spoke, his gaze moved to the well-behaved Ruyi, and he raised a smile, "You are Wen Chen's goddaughter?" ”
