After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

After the emperor sent everyone away, he looked a little tired.

The eunuch at the side came forward and poured him a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, it was so noisy at that time, please have a cup of tea first."

The emperor didn't like noise, but the court meetings were not ordinary.

From time to time, the ministers forgot their limits in their discussions and the quarrels always turned into a mess.

As the emperor, he not only had to listen, but also had to listen seriously.

Otherwise, the pens of the Censorate would have criticized him to pieces.

The emperor was helpless about this.

"Alas, I am old. I used to handle government affairs for a whole day and night without feeling tired. Now, after sitting for a few hours, I feel exhausted."

The chief eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the true emperor. Even now, he is still full of energy, and the way he handles government affairs is not much different from before."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm already tired enough."

The chief eunuch stepped forward and patted his legs: "What I said is the truth. Your Majesty should take care of your health. Now the state affairs are in the hands of the ministers. You only need to make a rule and the people below will naturally keep an eye on it."

The emperor sighed: "It seems that the court is calm now, but as soon as Shen Jingyi's incident came out, I knew that the wave was set off again."

The emperor has always been too lazy to care about the struggles within the court.

As long as they didn't make any big noise, they would secretly mock and curse each other, and the emperor would pretend not to hear them.

But over the years, he felt that the situation in the court was becoming increasingly out of control.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, you have plenty of ways to put out this fire. No matter who wants to make trouble, they will never cross the line."

The emperor said, "Oh? What about Shen Jingyi? He was the number one scholar selected by me. Now he has been framed like this. Isn't he going against me?"

The other party is very bold in order to get the position of Vice Minister of War.

Moreover, if there were no witnesses, Shen Jing's move would have been ruined.

"Perhaps it's because he can't bear to see Shen Jing being favored by His Majesty at such a young age. You should know that there has never been such a young person serving as an important official in the court."

The emperor sneered and said, "Whether to make an exception or not is my business. As for the rest, no one needs to make the decision."

"Your Majesty is right. These people are really the principals. We cannot do without teaching them a lesson."

The chief eunuch stood at the emperor's side wholeheartedly, trying to probe his thoughts from time to time.

But what the emperor thinks in his heart and what he says are all different.

If the eunuch had not been with him for a long time, he would not have been able to tell.

"Humph, I killed Wang Ye just to teach him a lesson! The whole world belongs to the king. It is not their turn to bully others in my territory."

Although these court officials might just be fighting with each other, it was normal for the emperor to deal with them if he didn't like them.

Besides, this group of people are trying to take advantage of him, how can he not deal with them?

"Your Majesty is wise. If this happens, the others will definitely keep their tails between their legs and behave themselves. There won't be any major problems in the short term."

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, officials from all over the country have reported on their work and their performance is quite good. I don't have the heart to criticize them."

After saying a few polite words, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Go and find out why Wang Ye wants to deal with Shen Jingyi."

The guard beside him nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, do you think there is someone behind Wang Ye?"

The emperor said: "Humph, he is not that brave. This situation is so carefully arranged, it can't be him."

But it was also true that Wang Ye was domineering in the Ministry of Justice, so the emperor showed no mercy and dealt with him directly.

Otherwise, how could officials in the court dare to hand over the case to the Ministry of Justice in the future?

These were all serious matters, so the emperor immediately executed the other party.

"If the person is not dead yet, then ask again. If he is dead, then there is no need to talk about it anymore."

The guard nodded: "I will go right away."

After saying that, he took people to investigate the case.

This matter seems to be very logical and there is nothing wrong with it.

But if you look closely, there are many strange things.

For example, why would Shen An, a cousin from the same family, want to commit suicide and frame Shen Jingyi?

After all, Shen Jing is the direct descendant of the Shen family, and Shen An is the son of a side branch.

Moreover, knowing that Shen Jing was about to become an official, he still dared to take the risk and frame him. This is not something a mere candidate could do.

Furthermore, the fact that Shen Jing's case had been overturned at that time also seemed a bit strange.

After much thought, the emperor felt that he could not let this clue go.

"Brother is back?"

Nangong Yuan was preparing lunch, and when she saw him come back, she asked him to wash his hands.

"Wait a little longer, until mom and dad come, we can have dinner."

Nangong Jin washed his hands and said, "Today someone has indeed overturned Shen Jing's case. A Yuan, your calculations are really accurate."

"It's okay, I was just lucky. Since the verdict has been overturned, it means that Mr. Shen's position will remain unchanged."

"I knew you were concerned about this. His Majesty said that the original position will not be changed."

Hearing this, Nangong Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I've always been worried that this incident would leave a bad impression on His Majesty, so that he would replace Shen Jingyi. Now it seems that His Majesty still values ​​him very much."

"Yeah, you don't know how lively the classroom is today. I was shocked by all the twists and turns."

He had been on the border for a long time and had not participated in these struggles. Now that he was in close contact with them, he felt terrified.

Fortunately, I left Kyoto at that time, otherwise he might have been gone in the first encounter.

"Brother is different from them. Brother is a general. Why should I get involved in these disputes and struggles with them?"

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "There is no one in our family who is an official in the court, otherwise, we would have suffered a lot."

"Brother, you forgot that father is in the court. But now it seems that many things may have changed."

"Hey, these old men can retire. Today, I looked at the people in the court and found that they were all dull."

"If it doesn't involve their interests, there's naturally no need to speak." Nangong Yuan handed over a cup of tea.

Seeing how calm she was, Nangong Jin guessed something.

"Why, you know all about this?"

Nangong Yuan curled her lips, her expression slightly dangerous: "It's related to our family's affairs, how could I not ask about it?"

She was the one who found the witness from Huangzhou and provided the clues.

Xiao Heyun just saved people according to her wishes.

This was the gift she gave to Xiao Heyun.

"I never thought you were so powerful. If you were to become an official in the court, those people would definitely not be your match."

Nangong Yuan said: "It's good now. Being outside the situation, sometimes you can do more."

People in the game are always forced to do things against their will. They may not want to harm others, but their position leaves them no choice.
