After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

"Greetings to the queen when the baby is given to the mother."

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." The Queen Mother smiled and let the Emperor to the pavilion.

Seeing this, the maids quickly brought a chair for the emperor to sit down.

"Why does the emperor have time to visit his mother today?" The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and asked with a smile.

"There is nothing special happening today, so I came to say hello to my mother," the emperor said.

"The Emperor has worked so hard and still thinks about being his mother. I accept your wishes." The Queen Mother continued to reply.

After chatting with each other, the Queen Mother felt that today was just the right time. She had not been mentioned to the emperor about Shen Tingyu's promotion last time, so she might as well take this opportunity to talk to him.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Dali Temple minister colluded with Prince Kang and was imprisoned?" the Queen Mother asked curiously.

"Yes, this Huo Yan disappoints me so much. He actually colluded with King Kang to suppress Jin Ba's crimes in private." The emperor said angrily.

"Then when will the trial be held?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"I haven't thought about this yet. The factions in the court are complicated. If I don't pay attention, I'm afraid of making the same mistake as Huo Yan. So I'm still undecided. Why does the queen mother have a suitable candidate?" The emperor looked at the respectful expression of the empress dowager. asked.

"I heard that Shen Tingyu was the first to catch the evidence of collusion between Huo Yan and Prince Kang this time, and Your Majesty, please think about this kid. Tingyu is famous for not joining cliques in the court. He is currently subservient to Jin Yiwei. Is the position of Tongzhi a subjugation to one’s talents?”

"And this time he and Mei Xichen went to Wu'an County to thoroughly investigate the murder of the defenders. If the emperor promotes him to the minister of Dali Temple, I don't think anyone in the court would dare to object. There are some things. It's better to let the young man do it. In my opinion, he is the most suitable candidate to preside over Huo Yan and Prince Kang." The Empress Dowager immediately mentioned this matter, and the Emperor had an idea in his mind.

"Yes, Queen Mother, the child should have thought of this a long time ago." The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had solved a difficult problem that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Eunuch Wei, did you hear what the empress said? Quickly draft an imperial edict." The emperor quickly turned around and looked at Eunuch Wei behind him and said.

"The slave obeys the order."

"Then, Your Majesty, Mei Xichen's contribution this time is irreplaceable by others. How do you think Mei Xichen will be rewarded?" The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor with her amiable eyes.

"Here, what good advice does the Queen Mother have?" The Emperor frowned and looked at the Queen Mother. No matter what, the Queen Mother must give her face to her son.

"I heard that since the last time the daughter of Master Feng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was murdered, and because the thorough investigation of the case of the missing girl was not successful, he has retired and returned to his hometown, so I thought it would be better to let Mei Xichen temporarily take over as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The advantage of this is that the relationship between the forces in the DPRK and China can be balanced as much as possible to avoid people like King Kang from appearing again." The Empress Dowager said seriously.

"The queen mother is absolutely right." The emperor turned his head and looked at Eunuch Wei and winked at him again.

Eunuch Wei instantly understood what the emperor meant and nodded.

The emperor's imperial edict soon reached the ears of the ministers, and many of them were unconvinced. Although some minor characters did not dare to show up when King Kang was there in the past, now that King Kang has fallen, the demons and demons from all walks of life have begun to fight again. Form cliques.

But since the emperor has issued an imperial edict, this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.

Now in the court, Mei Xichen's Sanfa Division has occupied two seats. One is the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the other is Dali Temple. In addition, the Jinyi Guards are still firmly in Mei Xichen's hands.

Judging from the current situation, this is very beneficial to Mei Xichen, but as mentioned just now, once King Kang falls, the various brats will start a new power dispute, and new opposition will appear that cannot be guaranteed.

"My lord, congratulations. Now you have taken over the position of censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Shen Tingyu smiled at Mei Xichen and said.

"We are each other." Mei Xichen clasped his fists, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is very favorable to us. What should we do next? I listen to you." Shen Tingyu is used to following Mei Xichen's instructions, so he can listen to whatever Mei Xichen says. .

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I feel relieved that you will be the presiding judge of Prince Kang's case this time. After getting rid of Prince Kang,..." Mei Xichen looked helplessly at Shen Tingyu and did not continue.

"Why do you speak so hesitantly, Your Majesty? This is not your usual style." Shen Tingyu patted Mei Xichen's arm and said.

"Well, I know that even if you get rid of King Kang, you may not be able to bring the princess back, right? Because you know that Shu Rong will not watch her come back to you unless the two countries are at war, but how can you find this reason? ?”

"First of all, the emperor will definitely not agree, right? And if you insist on having your own way, how many innocent lives will die tragically, right? Is this the reason for your frown? So you are conflicted and hesitant, right?"

Shen Tingyu's words really spoke to Mei Xichen's heart. On the one hand, the person she loves, and on the other hand, the people of the world. How to choose? Are you disregarding the life and death of the people for your own selfish desires? Mei Xichen definitely couldn't do it. Although he had always been working towards his set goal, at this time, he couldn't make up his mind.

"You know my Tingyu." Mei Xichen sighed helplessly.

"So, if the princess can't come back, then my Rong Ruo will also be far away from me." Thinking of this, Shen Tingyu also lowered his head seriously.

The two of them sat in the room, no one said anything, just thinking about their beloved. Although their career prospects were bright, was it really what they wanted?

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Mei Xichen finally freed herself from her indulging emotions and spoke to Shen Tingyu.

"Would you like to drink some wine? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food and wine. I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight." Mei Xichen looked at Shen Tingyu with a wry smile.

"Dare, there is nothing to dare. My life is boring without Rong Ruo. It doesn't matter if I'm drunk. When I'm drunk, I don't think about too many troublesome things. I don't know how Rong Ruo is recovering now. "Shen Tingyu's eyes looked a little hollow.

In short, two people are both degenerate people in the world, no one should laugh at the other, and no one should be miserable than the other.

Mei Xichen ordered the servants to bring the food and wine, and the two of them started drinking in the pavilion in the garden of the other courtyard. They didn't need to toast each other. They basically poured and drank by themselves. The dishes were not touched, but a jar of wine was consumed in the blink of an eye. Just drank it all.

"Your Majesty, I really miss Rongruo so much. What about you, do you miss your princess?" Shen Tingyu leaned on the table and passed out from drinking.
