Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Xu Cheng was slightly startled when he saw Zhou Jin was also there. "Your Majesty, why did you call me here?"

Emperor Kang Ping looked at Xu Cheng and pointed at the letter on the table, "Read it yourself!"

Xu Cheng was suspicious. He walked to the table and read the letter quickly, reading ten lines at a glance. The more he read, the uglier his expression became, and he became more and more frightened.

"Prince Zhou, where do these letters come from?" Xu Cheng looked at Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin replied, "Yesterday, I respectfully escorted His Royal Highness back to the palace. It was still early, so I went to Guyuan Tower with my wife to drink tea and enjoy the sunset. Seeing the beautiful sunset, I wrote a poem. Who knew that just as I finished the poem, I heard Yuan Zhen's voice from next door."

"When he saw that it was me, he threw the package containing the letter and the jade pendant to me. He also said that the situation was urgent and he couldn't wait for Jinlinwei to contact him, so he asked me to hand the package over to His Majesty."

Xu Cheng was stunned. "The prince and his wife are so elegant."

Zhou Jin was stunned. "Commander Xu, this is not a matter for me to be elegant. It's about how Your Majesty will decide. How will Commander Xu catch these evildoers?"

"In addition, Yuan Zhen may be in danger. Commander Xu should find a way to rescue Yuan Zhen as soon as possible and not let such a meritorious person die an untimely death."

Xu Cheng's face turned red and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Zhou Jin's narration just now did not mention that Jin Linwei did not arrive as agreed, which resulted in Yuan Zhen being unable to deliver these important evidences.

If it weren't for Zhou Jin, Yuan Zhen and these things might have been caught.

Zhou Jin spoke as frankly as usual, but he also knew to save face for him.

Xu Cheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you arrest these traitors immediately."

Emperor Kangping thought for a moment and said, "Instead of mobilizing troops to arrest these traitorous ministers at their homes, it would be better for me to order these ministers to be summoned to the palace. These letters are their tokens of surrender. See their reactions after reading them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Cheng responded.

Although we have won the battle against the Northern Rong at this time, there is still a lot of follow-up to do and the capital cannot be in chaos.

Emperor Kangping looked at Zhou Jin and handed him a gold medal. "There are some low-ranking officials that I cannot summon to the palace. You take my gold medal and ask their superiors to call them to the government office, put them under guard, and send them to Jinlinwei."

Zhou Jin was startled. "Your Majesty, are you asking me to arrest someone?"

Emperor Kangping nodded, "The Jinlin Guards are too conspicuous and might alert the enemy. It could be dangerous, Zhou Jin, are you scared?"

Zhou Jin shook his head, "I am not afraid, but I am worried that I am not capable enough to complete your majesty's request."

"You can do it!" Emperor Kangping smiled. He was becoming more and more satisfied with Zhou Jin. No longer being arrogant was his greatest progress.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do it right away." Zhou Jin received the list from Huang Bing and left the palace with a gold medal representing the presence of His Majesty in his arms.

Seeing that His Majesty had no other instructions, Xu Cheng hurried out to do his errand.

"Ah?" Emperor Kangping exclaimed.

Huang Bing saw this and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to invite the imperial physician?"

Emperor Kangping waved his hand, "I'm fine."

"Then you..." Huang Bing was suspicious and didn't understand what His Majesty intended to do.

Emperor Kang Ping smiled and said, "I forgot to ask Zhou Jin what poem he wrote in Guyuan Tower?"

Seeing that His Majesty still had the leisure to listen to Zhou Jin's "A Poem", Huang Bing knew that His Majesty had let it go.

This is more effective than taking expensive medicinal herbs. What I am most worried about is that Your Majesty cannot let it go.

After all, she is the Queen Mother who has been respected by Your Majesty for nearly twenty years, and she has a younger brother who has been loved by Your Majesty for nearly twenty years!

After leaving the palace, Xu Cheng, the commander of the Jinlin Guard, chased after Zhou Jin and said, "Thank you, Prince Zhou, for covering up for me in front of His Majesty."

Zhou Jin cupped his hands and said, "Commander Xu, you are too polite. We have the evidence now. Yuan Zhen may be in danger. Commander Xu, please send someone to rescue him as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Prince Zhou. I will do my best to rescue Yuan Zhen." Xu Cheng replied.

Zhou Jin nodded, got on the carriage, and headed straight to the six ministries.

He found the person in charge of the government office and asked them to call the people in. Fortunately, it was not a holiday, so most of them were on duty.

This is easy. Take them away separately and send them to the Jinlinwei dungeon.

At the same time, the seven powerful officials above the fourth rank were also called to the palace one after another and arrested on the spot.

Zhao Yu, the third-rank military minister, was shocked and panicked, but he did not show it on his face. "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Emperor Kangping glanced at Huang Bing, who found a letter and read it from beginning to end.

Minister Zhao Yu, who had remained calm, suddenly changed color and collapsed to the ground.

What else do others not understand after seeing this?

They were so frightened that they were shaking like sieves and could not stand.

A thief with a guilty conscience cannot be blamed.

Emperor Kangping was too lazy to look at these people. "Suppress them and interrogate them about how they made peace with Prince Yun."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Cheng agreed.

After these people were escorted to the Jinlinwei dungeon, Emperor Kangping looked at Xu Cheng and said, "Nanfang, have you started arresting people?"

Xu Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, I have sent a letter by carrier pigeon. Deputy Commander Chen Xing will receive the letter in about six hours and start the arrest."

"Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed. If the Queen Mother and Prince Yun want to survive, I really have to send them off in person." Emperor Kangping said in a deep voice, only by understanding can one let go completely.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Cheng responded.

Mission accomplished, Zhou Jin entered the palace and returned the gold medal.

Zhou Jin was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Emperor Kang Ping, "Zhou Jin, wait a minute."

Zhou Jin was startled, "Your Majesty, do you have any more orders?"

Emperor Kangping chuckled and asked, "I heard that you wrote a poem in Guyuan Tower. Come, compose it for me."

"This..." Zhou Jin's handsome face turned slightly red, "Your Majesty, please stop laughing at me."

"Hey? Why are you mocking me? You are the top scholar selected by me, with brilliant essays and unparalleled poetic talent. The poems that fit the occasion should not be sour poems. I want to hear them. Is this a funny poem you and your wife wrote in the boudoir that you are not comfortable talking about?"

"Convenient, convenient." Zhou Jin's forehead was covered with sweat. Today he discovered that His Majesty was so curious.

If he doesn't read it out loud, His Majesty might guess that he wrote obscene poems in Guyuan Tower, which would affect his noble and prudent image.

Zhou Jin recited the poem aloud, a little shyly.

In the past, he thought that he would be laughed at by others for writing poems all the time without realizing it.

The poems that came out were famous for their gorgeous words, but they were not down-to-earth and always had a sense of boasting.

He has tried his best to change, but when he encounters beautiful scenery or good things, he cannot express the emotions that are in his heart, so he can only compose poetry.

However, this poem was praised by his wife, so Zhou Jin dared to recite it.

Otherwise, even if he disobeyed the order, he would not read it out.

Emperor Kangping stroked his beard, a little melancholy, "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is almost dusk! This is the finishing touch, wonderful! It is really wonderful!"

At this time, Kang Ping looked at Zhou Jin with a complicated look.

To be honest, he envied Zhou Jin and was even a little jealous.
