The news of Chen Chao's return to Beijing spread within a few days, and many officials visited him one after another.

Without exception, Chen Chao refused and only met with a few important people.

Yan Song, the secretary of the Criminal Department, as the right-hand man of the Chen Dynasty, was naturally the first to be received. The two met in the pavilion in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and that day, Chen Chao was lying on the vine, enjoying the massage of the maid Ning Baizhi, while his wife Song Qingwan was pulling up his trouser legs and planting vegetables in the vegetable garden with Yue'e.

When the sun shines, don't mention how beautiful this day is.

"Ahem."

When he saw Yan Song again, he was no different from what he had seen a few months ago, walking in an official robe, with a solemn expression and a black face, as if others owed him money and did not pay it back.

The women were very discerning, Yan Song coughed and made a sound, they raised their heads and looked at it and left one after another, Ning Baizhi reached out and rubbed her sore shoulders, and spit out her little tongue at Chen Chao when no one was paying attention, expressing her dissatisfaction.

After a short time, Yan Song sat down opposite Chen Chao, poured a full cup of tea, and then said:

"Xiangye shouldn't be like this?"

"Huh?"

"At the moment of the great enemy, Xiangye should not relax his vigilance so much and live a leisurely life."

"Shouldn't it be? So what should I do? ”

"The officials should be convened to work together to come up with a solution and get through this difficult time together."

"Difficult?" Chen Chao smiled, "Yan Shangshu refers to the matter of the Zhou Party and the Wang Party working together to impeach Ben Xiang at the court meeting a few days later?" ”

Chen Chao asked knowingly, he felt that Yan Song took things too seriously, and the whole person was too nervous. That's not good, it's not so difficult, you still need to go through it.

Yan Song pursed his lips and wrinkled his brows:

"Xiangye, although we caught Wang Luo as a threat, Wang Shibin has more than one son, and he will not give up impeaching Xiangye."

Wang Luo is the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the eldest son of Wang Shibin, the imperial history of the left capital. A few days ago, because the slaves robbed the house in Qingshan County, and also beat the officials, he was instructed by the Chen Dynasty to execute Yan Song, and that night, Wang Luo was arrested directly from the palace, and is now imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Give up? Of course, Wang Shibin's old boy will not give up. The prime minister didn't expect just one Wang Luo to restrain our Zuodu Yushi. ”

"Xiangye knows, still?"

Yan Song was a little nervous and a little worried.

The grand court meeting will come unexpectedly, and at that time, the two parties will definitely take advantage of the disaster relief matter to vigorously impeach the prime minister for building a large number of buildings and shortening the treasury of money and grain.

If you don't make some preparations in advance, you will really capsize in the gutter.

Seeing Yan Song's appearance, Chen Chao didn't intend to continue to hide from him, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the table in front of the two, there was a box on the table.

"Open it and see for yourself."

Yan Song didn't understand why, but he still opened it. There wasn't much in the box, just a few thin sheets of paper.

Yan Song was patient, and read it word by word, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

The paper was nothing else, but an order signed privately between the Chen Dynasty and the envoys of several countries that night.

The order amount is scary.

It was all silver taels of white flowers.

Holding these pieces of paper, Yan Song's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the expression on his face was rich, as if he was crying and laughing.

Is this a sign of joy? Lying on the chair, Chen Chao glanced at Yan Song, and couldn't quite understand.

If it was Qin Xiangru, he might laugh out loud, and then wave his flag and shout, shouting Xiangye 666.

Sure enough, people express emotions differently.

Yan Song, the old-fashioned criminal department Shangshu, is more restrained in his emotions.

Although he was happy and excited, he stopped laughing and expressed his excitement with a slight tremor in his body.

"Xiangye, are these serious?" Yan Song sat down again, pinched a few pieces of paper, looked at Chen Chao and said excitedly.

"When did you fake?" Chen Chao replied lightly.

With this sentence, Yan Song completely put his mind at ease, with these orders, the big court meeting in a few days, no matter how those officials are impeached, we have confidence.

You say that we have a deficit in the treasury, and we will make up for it.

The deficit suddenly becomes "misappropriation", and the nature is different.

"Don't tell Qin Xiang about this yet!"

Chen Chao thought for a moment and commanded.

Yan Song didn't understand why.

At the court meeting, Qin Xiangru, who was the secretary of the household department, was also the target of impeachment, if he was not told to know in advance, Qin Xiangru was afraid that he would be impeached and would not be able to raise his head.

But the next moment, Yan Song suddenly understood. If you are confident from the beginning, then this big drama will not look good

He stood up and waved at Chen Chao: "Xiangye is smart!" ”

……

……

Fengyi Palace.

It is still early, there are several palace maids walking under the corridor, in the harem, Fengyi Hall is the place where the palace maids dream of serving, here, not only is there no beating and scolding of the master, but also the occurrence of the phenomenon of deducting the moon, and the queen mother is very good, that is, in recent months, the queen mother does not often come out to see people, always likes to hide in the palace.

"Xiaoyue, remove the incense, I smell a little headache."

Behind the curtain, a woman in palace clothes reclining on a small couch is holding a carving knife and a piece of mahogany wood in the other hand, carving something. There are a lot of finished products on the shelves that hold jade playthings in the distance, most of them are cats and dogs, although they are carved from wood, but the carver's hands are very skillful, lifelike, and vivid.

"Niangniang, don't you usually like this fragrance the most?" The palace maid was puzzled.

"Withdraw...... Don't order it in the future. ”

"Yes, sissy."

The incense was removed, and Murong Yue felt better, but in recent days, she has become more and more unaccustomed to smelling these spices, and she only feels a headache and nausea.

After no one bothered, Murong Yue put all his mind into the carved object in his hand, this carving is not a small animal, from the appearance, it seems to be a small person, the small figure is tall, but he is on crutches, but it looks more imposing.

Murong Yue pursed her red lips, carved the villain's clothes one by one, gently blew away the sawdust on it, and then slowly rubbed her fingers against the villain's face, her expression was happy and angry, which was unpredictable.

Stomp –

Slight footsteps sounded.

"Xiaoyue, it's okay to stay alone in this palace, you can go and get busy." Murong Yue thought that she was serving her palace maid Xiaoyue again, and subconsciously ordered.

"Sister, it's me!"

Murong Yue was stunned, hurriedly hid the villain in the box, and sat up straight.

Murong Ting's face was full of injuries, and he limped when he walked, first kneeling and bowing, and then sat down on a chair, and the two sisters and brothers spoke through a beaded curtain.

"Ting'er, why did you make such an embarrassment? Beaten? ”

Murong Yue was a little distressed, her brother was not in the capital, she was her sister, and her brother was bullied outside, how could she not feel distressed.

Murong Ting touched his face, "It's out of the way, I fell on the road." ”

"Sister, are you okay in the palace?"

"I'm fine."

"Isn't there any news from Big Brother yet?"

"Nope."

"I brought my sister your favorite snowflake cheese this time, would you like to eat some?"

"Ting'er...... If you have anything to say, just say it. How could Murong Yue not see his younger brother Murong Ting's absent-minded state.

Murong Ting took a deep breath, got up, and wanted to sit next to his sister and say a few words of self-consideration, but Murong Yue suddenly shouted, "Don't come here!" ”

"Just say it right there! Hongu can hear it, and there are no outsiders here. ”

Murong Ting sat down again and frowned slowly, since the New Year, his sister seemed to be reluctant to be close to him, and every time they met, they had to talk through a beaded curtain.

"Sister, I want to go to Yunzhou to find my eldest brother!"

Murong Ting spoke his mind.

He wants to live differently! He didn't want to stay in the capital anymore and be pointed at his nose and scolded by the gentleman.

The eldest brother and second sister are all excellent, as the youngest in the Murong family, he doesn't want to pull his brothers and sisters back!

"No way!"

Murong Yue sternly refused, "Do you know what Yunzhou is?" Banditry is rampant there. The eldest brother said in the letter that he wanted me to take care of you and not allow you to run around. ”

Murong Ting was stunned, full of grievances, "Sister, I'm ...... I really don't want to go on like this, I want to leave the capital, go out, and start over in a different environment. ”

When Murong Yue heard this, he was slightly puzzled, "Why?" Isn't the capital very good? Weren't you quite satisfied before? And how nice it would be if we could do it all the time? Even if it is a fairy, it is not changed, how can it be so good to change the hexagram? Did you see anyone? ”

Murong Ting smiled bitterly, his heart heavy.

"Sister, Chen Chao has returned to Beijing!"

With a hula, Murong Yue hurriedly stood up, a little flustered.

He ...... Coming back? ”
