Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 186

The New Year is coming soon.

The New Year of Dawu Kingdom is not much different from Chen Yi's beliefs.

Both are the biggest festivals of the year, focusing on the new year and new atmosphere, family reunion, the only difference is that on the night of the first day of the new year, a lantern festival is held.

In the past few days, the whole place seems to have entered another world.

Every household is pasted with red blessing characters and festive couplets on both sides of the door. In addition, as long as there are big stones on the side of the street, people will press up red paper.

Chen Yi's mansion was not idle either.

After waking up, I found that the house had also changed. The servants followed Uncle Cao to do a big cleaning, hang lanterns and ribbons, as if overnight, there was a festive atmosphere.

As usual, Chen Yi went to the court in the morning, and at night on New Year's Eve, there was a palace banquet in the palace, so the ministers in the morning court had nothing to do except report the progress of the work.

After all, it was the New Year, so the empress was not in the mood to keep these ministers saying something, and the court soon dispersed.

As a civil servant of the Great Wu Dynasty, Chen Yi had seven days of statutory holidays. For Chen Yi, it was more humane, and at least he could sleep late.

After leaving the palace gate, Chen Yi stopped the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, Ministers of the Ministry of Households, and his immediate superior, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and gave out the annual gifts he asked Uncle Cao to prepare.

As for the Ministry of Rituals, Chen Yi had never been in contact with it, and it was too sudden to give gifts rashly, so he was not prepared.

It didn't seem right for Chen Yi to be like this, but he was poor and white, with no elders or female relatives in his family. Apart from his own master, there was only Cao Bo left.

Everyone knew this. Chen Yisong was magnanimous. These people usually helped him a lot. Chen Yi wanted to express his gratitude. Of course, Wang Chizheng also had a share.

Let the chief minister of the cabinet take it back.

In these years, it is not the ancient style, and Chen Yi specially prepared it according to each person's personality and preferences, and everyone is different.

But things are better than using ingenuity.

The chief minister of the cabinet and the others were a little confused when they got the things, mainly because the gift was given in front of everyone.

It didn't look like a bribe or an annual gift. After explaining it, they happily accepted it.

After saying goodbye to a few people, Chen Yi wandered to the Imperial City Department with the New Year's gift for Zhang Xiwen. The Imperial City Department has been super busy recently. Some time ago, he followed Chen Yi to deal with the snow disaster, and he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground.

Then came the New Year, and there were more things to do, and it was precisely because of this that Chen Yi came to the door by himself.

When Chen Yi passed by, Zhang Xiwen was busy. There was a palace banquet in the evening, so there was no curfew at night. In order to prevent anything from happening, they needed to make arrangements.

Zhang Xiwen was very happy when he received the gift. The relationship between the two was closer than before, so naturally there was no need for any politeness.

Chen Yi was about to leave after delivering the things, but was stopped by Zhang Xiwen.

"Be careful recently, I heard some wind, it seems that someone is going to follow you."

A trace of surprise flashed across Chen Yi's face. He had nothing and was so poor. Who wanted to kill him?
"Why are you killing me?"

Zhang Xiwen shook his head: "You also know that our Imperial City Division has to take care of everything, so the underground forces have also come into contact. This news was passed on to me by the brothers below, saying that someone wants to buy you to kill you, or because of my relationship with me. Just let me know."

Worry flashed across Zhang Xiwen's face.

"Zi Shang, do you want me to shoot some brothers to protect you?"

Chen Yi smiled and refused: "No, I know this, thank you, then I'll go first, so I won't waste your time."

Farewell, Zhang Xiwen left, left the Imperial City Division and walked back.

As Chen Yi walked, he lowered his head and thought, it was simply too inexplicable who wanted to kill him.

Since coming here, to be honest, Chen Yi didn't offend anyone, the only one he offended was the Empress, and Chen Xianshi, who was recently seen through the conspiracy.

It is impossible for one of these two to kill himself, and the other is still in prison.

Could it be Chen Xianshi?Because he exposed his plot?

But now that he has made a fortune, he doesn't have any money on him, and he needs money to pay for murder.

Could it be a minister in the court?But he didn't block anyone's way.

not always.

It is possible that some people's interests were touched when he didn't know it. Chen Yi has no choice but to block it with soldiers, cover it with water, and take one step at a time.

Fortunately, he has recently completed the task and obtained the elementary lightness skill. In addition to the agility he obtained before, Taobao is no problem at all.

I was just worried that when I might kill myself in other ways.

After Chen Yi returned to the mansion, he found Uncle Cao, and didn't try to hide it, and directly told what Zhao Xiwen told her.

He knows that his family is simple now, just a few people.

If you hide it, it will be easy for others to take advantage of the loopholes. It is better to take precautions openly and tell Uncle Cao. The main purpose is to remind him to pay attention to food.

During the day, Chen Yi either went to court or stayed in the Ministry of Industry, and then went home.

It turned out to be the latest news, so he planned to assassinate himself during the Chinese New Year. During this time, Chen Yi had nowhere to go, so he could only stay in the mansion.

If he sent the killer directly, Chen Yi wasn't too scared, because his skills were here.

After Uncle Cao found out, apart from frowning at first, he quickly regained his composure.Said I understand.

This composure reassured Chen Yi a lot, knowing that Uncle Cao was not a simple person.

Although Chen Yi didn't have much memory of the original owner, he knew that his good servant was not as simple as it seemed.When I was young, I used to be a martial arts master.

I don't know why, so I defected to his ordinary family and became a servant.

After each other was prepared, Chen Yi seemed to put this matter aside.

In the evening, Chen Yi wore an official uniform and entered the palace to attend the palace banquet.

In Chen Yi's impression, the palace banquet should be the ministers in the court eating, drinking, enjoying singing and dancing together, just like the company's annual meeting.

The leader gave speeches, distributed bonuses, employees expressed their determination, and everyone ate and drank together to have a good time.

After Chen Yi entered the palace, he realized that he was too naive.

At the same time, I have to admire that Dawu Kingdom is really advanced in terms of spiritual entertainment.

Chen Yi followed the little eunuch to the banquet venue slowly. Along the way, candles and lanterns were lit on both sides of the road. At each distance, there would be servants or maids standing by to guide the way.

It's not like the empty one shown on TV, but it's heavily guarded, and it's hard not to be noticed.
