reborn monarch

The vigorous impeachment came to an end with the dismissal of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Taking this opportunity, Emperor Qiyuan announced that Dali Temple would be changed to the Ministry of Justice, which would be independent from the six ministries, and local subordinates would be added.

At the same time, in order to recruit officials for the local supervisory offices, the imperial examinations were divided into different subjects to try out. Based on the "Great Chu Law", we investigated the laws and regulations, and carried out small imperial examinations for law subjects in various provinces and prefectures. The small imperial examinations do not go wrong, and the provinces take turns to conduct them, and each place is coordinated by the Ministry of Justice.

It seemed that everything was calm, but Wen Jinli could not sleep peacefully.

The Wen Party of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials was wiped out. Wen Jinli couldn't believe that Jiang Qi and Luo Shi didn't mention himself when they confessed, but in the end, they were not involved at all.

Either Emperor Qiyuan was willing to give himself a chance to compromise, or Emperor Qiyuan was still waiting for the opportunity to kill himself with one blow.

And the Overwatch Council, which is being established in various places, directly targets local cultural party officials.

Ever since the announcement of the establishment of local surveillance, news of his subordinates panicking and begging for help has been coming in a steady stream. Wen Jinli observed them one by one. Wen Jinli was not unaware of the rampant greed of the Wen Party's party members, but so many news gathered together , It intuitively demonstrated the harm of the Wen Party to the Great Chu Dynasty, and he, the chief culprit, could not help but be shocked.

After dismissing the flattering advisers, Wen Jinli sat alone under the lamp, his face tired, and even the silver hair looked dull, which made him look old.

Back then, he was also ambitious, eloquent in the palace examination, and his elegance was appreciated by the late emperor, and he won the first prize in one fell swoop.

At that time, Emperor Chu Xian was also in the prime of life, working hard to govern, Wen Jinli was grateful for the appreciation of Emperor Chu Xian, dedicated his heart and soul, and performed his duties faithfully. , but gradually changed his appearance and changed his heart.

The obstinate vanity and arbitrariness in Emperor Chu Xian's bones are the reasons why he can reuse Wen Jinli in the first half of his life, eclectic for the sake of strengthening the country, and it is also the reason why he indulges in pleasure, trusts villains, beats and scolds ministers at will, and neglects government affairs in the second half of his life. , and it was also the reason why he abandoned Jiangshan and left for Qin Dai.

Not to mention that Qin Jian was treated as a joke, even Wen Jinli and his right minister Ge Qingshu had to follow the faces of the eunuchs around Emperor Chu Xian and acted with no dignity at all, worse than a dog.

In order to fight, Ge Qingshu became a gangster, but Wen Jinli could see clearly that in Emperor Chu Xian's heart, only the Ninth Prince who was most like him and behaved like him was orthodox.So Wen Jinli humiliated and begged for perfection, and did not take refuge in any prince with the attitude of a loyal minister, in exchange for the trust of Emperor Chu Xian.

As it turned out, he was right, and he had the last laugh.

The Son of Heaven was young, and the Wen Party was dominant. What a good start. Originally, he also wanted to revolutionize the Qing government and create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people of the world.

I still remember that day, the number one scholar with a red robe and white horse, Dama Yujie, Qionglin attended a banquet, all kinds of excitement, thousands of words and congratulatory gifts were all vulgar and inconspicuous. Leave a name.

Is Emperor Chu Xian the only one who has changed his appearance and heart?

A sigh.

It's hard to get off a tiger, so what's the use of thinking about the past.

Wen Jinli now understands that since he looked down on Xie Jiuyuan since he was a child, he has made a big mistake.

Emperor Qiyuan's various actions calculated people's hearts, and even occupied the right time and place like a divine help.

Some seemingly trivial or absurd decisions, such as favoring Xie Jiuyuan and sending the inexperienced Xie Jiuyuan to the battlefield, when the results come out, there is no room for others to comment; It has already retreated a shot and is at a disadvantage.

The kings and ministers of heaven and earth, ministers, to the Lord, if this minister is powerful and powerful, he may be able to call the wind and rain. Now that Emperor Qiyuan is in power, Wen Jinli thinks about it, and he has a half-hearted heart.

But he sighed again, that half of the depression has dissipated, which official, after delegating power, will have a good end?

If the flag is changed halfway, it will be hard to say what the end will be, and the reputation will be even worse.

If you make a mistake to the end, you will not survive, and it will be a strong stroke in the history books!

King Yan...

He can support a young emperor, why can't he change to another young emperor?

Wen Jinli narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.

Before Wen Jinli could come up with a charter, another piece of bad news came.

Previously, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry requested to build more of the original wooden warships. The reason was that it would be convenient for the navy to exercise, so the navy urged the construction of wooden ships. The first batch of five wooden warships was rushed, and finally they were completed and delivered to the navy. Unexpectedly, after entering the water for only half a day, it was actually scattered into pieces of wood on the sea. If there were no iron-clad ships accompanying the sailing at that time and rescued the sailors, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Emperor Qiyuan was furious, and sent someone to lock Wudu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, for interrogation.

Although Wen Jinli expected that Emperor Qiyuan would have a second move, he did not expect that he would give Emperor Qiyuan the opportunity to do it so quickly!

The local literary party is still complaining, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is in prison again, and Wen Jinli is on fire one after another, very embarrassed.

In his hand, he tightly held the forged document signed by the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stating that the expenses were used by Wen Chongde to borrow the machine from the Ministry of Industry. How credible is the evidence?It is also impossible for Wen Chongde to be framed obediently.

If you don't throw out this evidence to stir up the muddy waters, the literary party who has already lost the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and if you lose the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, then you will have only yourself as the core, and you will not be able to support it alone!

Wen Jinli, who was hesitant, approached King Yan Gu Wuji.

Rhinoceros Guifang.

In the secret room, Gu Wuji came here early to wait.

As soon as Wen Jinli entered the door, he sighed in his heart. The last time we met, it was the eldest son Gu Lan who was waiting for him. Today, he has become the King of Yan, Gu Wuji, but the disappointment between his brows has increased by three points. The good young man looks gloomy It can be seen that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Emperor Qiyuan.

"I already know why Wen Xiang came here." Before Wen Jinli could open his mouth, Gu Wuji preempted him, "But Wen Xiang, if Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry cut corners on the warship, he deserved it. You know, our eyelids Underneath, there is another scandal that affects the country and the country, and it has happened for a long time!"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Wen Jinli's anger dissipated. Seeing that Gu Wuji's face was full of anger and embarrassment, he was really young. The irritated and unstable expression was too easy to understand, which aroused Wen Jinli's curiosity. , then asked: "What does the king of Yan refer to?"

Gu Wuji stomped his feet, with a look of embarrassment, "I just found out that the two of them had such an embarrassing thing. They really are outcasts from the Buddhist temple. They are unworthy of high positions. They volunteered to give it to others... Be worthy to be the king of my Great Chu!"

These words were too bold, even in the secret room, Wen Jinli was still shocked and stopped, saying: "King Yan speaks carefully!"

Gu Wuji snorted, very dissatisfied, turned his head, and suppressed his angry gesture.

It was only at this time that Wen Jinli came to his senses. Although he didn't know what Gu Wuji was talking about, but his reaction was so intense, it must be Emperor Qi Yuan's big trick!So he pretended to be worried and asked, "It's about the country and the country. What exactly is the king of Yan referring to?"

"National ugliness, family ugliness, Wuji is hard to say. Tomorrow, Wen Xiang will send people to ambush at the gate of the palace city and in the glazed pagoda. Naturally understand why the scandal is! Alas!"

Gu Wuji left these words, as if he couldn't bear it, he saluted hurriedly, and left in three steps.

Wen Jinli closed his eyes and stroked his beard, pondering how true, how false, and what was the purpose of King Yan's affectation.

The next day in the court, Emperor Qiyuan announced the decree of unifying the price of salt across the country, and handed it over to the Ministry of Households. Because Yu Wei still investigated and dealt with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, no one contradicted Emperor Qiyuan, and it passed smoothly.

The new Minister of Officials is Ou Maozhu, the Minister of Punishment is Feng Pei, and Zhuo Yuan is promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.Of the six ministers, only the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Miao Wen Party remained, and he was imprisoned for trial. Wen Jinli was depressed, and was even more looking forward to the scandal about Emperor Qiyuan mentioned by King Yan. That night, he went quietly The glazed pagoda, hiding in the dark and waiting.

If His Majesty wants to leave the palace in secret, there should be fewer people in the know than too many. Father-in-law Sanbao personally carries a glazed lantern and follows Xie Jiuyuan and Gu Zhen, while Jin Yiwei guards in the dark.

Gu Zhen wore a sky blue uniform, and a long black cloak with a hood completely covered him, only his long hair and the lower half of his face were exposed.

Xie Jiuyuan specially rode his horse into the palace, and the three of them walked to the stables. Gu Zhen lifted his hat and had a face-to-face meeting with Hei Jiao. Hei Jiao recalled the fear of being constantly fed by this man, and took two steps back in fright.

"What's wrong with it?" Gu Zhen didn't understand, so he turned around and asked Xie Jiuyuan.

Frightened by you, Xie Jiuyuan didn't dare to say this, but said: "I haven't seen you for a while, the Black Flood Dragon is mighty on the battlefield, and I'm afraid of life in private."

The black flood dragon snorted angrily, you are afraid of life!

Hearing this, Gu Zhen touched Heijiao's big head affectionately, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid."

The whole horse of Hei Jiao was unlovable, and it was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Xie Jiuyuan laughed in a low voice, and finally got on the horse, stretched out his hand to Gu Zhen, pulled Gu Zhen to the front, carefully closed the black cloak on Gu Zhen's body, only the corner of the sky blue clothes was exposed, Gu Zhen leaned against Xie Jiuyuan's body, pulled His clothes were closed, so that Gu Zhen's tall figure could not be seen. Compared with Xie Jiuyuan, it was immediately indisputable.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like elopement. Father-in-law Sanbao was very worried, and said: "Thank you, sir, take your majesty to go back early."

Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing, and said to Xie Jiuyuan, "Here, I'm afraid you will kidnap me."

Xie Jiuyuan held the rein in one hand and put his arm around him in the other, and teased Sanbao together: "Oh? Now that you have abducted your hand, it's time to run."

With a yell, he rode away with the beauty in his arms, leaving the angry Sanbao Gonggong empty to the stable.

Just after midnight, the spies saw that Xie Jiuyuan had left Miyagi as he had come, but there was another person in his arms, and it was difficult to distinguish in the night, but that person was nestling against Xie Jiuyuan's chest, and Xie Jiuyuan was still hugging and protecting, it was very likely It's a woman!

Whether hiding female relatives in Miyagi, or bringing idlers into and out of Miyagi, it is indeed a serious crime. The spies recorded carefully and followed them all the way. They didn't know that Jin Yiwei was closely following them.

Walking to the city gate, the city gate will be opened immediately, without Xie Jiuyuan dismounting to give the city order, this is another crime, the spies note it down.

There is no one around the water viewing tower.

Xie Jiuyuan rode his horse all the way, unhurriedly, came to the front of the tower, got off his horse, led the horse and tied it to the side of the tower, then hugged the horseman and carried him all the way into the tower, just like the city gate, there was no need for Xie Jiuyuan Calling the door is almost like going home, and I don't know how many times I have come.

Entered the pagoda privately many times!Private meeting in the land of Buddhism!The spies recorded that there was another person lurking in the tower, and he rushed back to Wenxiang's mansion with the records.

Xie Jiuyuan carried Gu Zhen into the tower.

The design of Wen Jinli was an idea they had discussed with King Yan, but they had never shown their affection in front of others. After entering the tower, knowing that there were spies lurking, the two of them looked at each other. You, looking at each other, fell silent for a while, Gu Zhen was still hugged by Xie Jiuyuan, so he simply buried his face in Xie Jiuyuan's arms.

So embarrassing, don't know what to do.

Xie Jiuyuan easily went upstairs with the man in his arms. He was powerful, and his eyes and ears were much clearer than others. He could hear someone on the top floor. At the corner of the last wooden ladder, there was a beautiful place for people to lean on the railing to watch the wind. The window was closed tightly, so Xie Jiuyuan put Gu Zhen there and sat down.

Gu Zhen leaned against the wooden fence and looked at him, not understanding what he meant, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xie Jiuyuan deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a moderate voice, "Your Majesty, I can't help it."

As soon as he said it, Gu Zhen knew that he was telling the spies on purpose, but such words still made Gu Zhen blush, and when Xie Jiuyuan kissed him, he couldn't hold back his voice and became more shy.

Wen Jinli, who was hiding in the dark, was dumbfounded.

The original plan was to make Wen Jinli think that Emperor Qi Yuan took the initiative to invite Xie Jiuyuan in order to control Xie Jiuyuan, who is now in power. After discussing the rhetoric, he simply acted out the scene of Xie Xiang's bitter love for His Majesty, and Gu Zhen didn't need to make a special sound, Xie Jiuyuan alone could act the part of the dream.

"I know His Majesty is reluctant, but Your Majesty has come obediently? Since you are here, why bother to pretend."

"Your Majesty's lips, are they meant for me to kiss?"

"Angry? It's all my fault. In order to make amends, I will kiss you softly this time to make His Majesty feel comfortable."

Seeing Xie Jiuyuan racking his brains alone, Gu Zhen was moved, but he still wanted to laugh so much, he had to cover his mouth, and instead made a few tones that sounded like weeping, which was very sensational.

The two kissed and contributed to Xie Jiuyuan's hard work, Xie Jiuyuan left with Gu Zhen in his arms.

Wen Jinli was disgusted and excited at the same time, and stood there for a while before leaving the glazed pagoda.

When the two of them entered the East Nuan Pavilion, Jin Yiwei's secret report was also submitted, and it was discovered that Wen Jinli had personally investigated it. Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan felt horrified, and looked at each other in embarrassment. Those lines, could not help laughing out loud.

Xie Jiuyuan hugged him, pretending to be wronged and said: "Your Majesty, the fish has bitten the hook, and I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry."

Gu Zhen avoided his mouth playing with his earlobe, and said straightforwardly: "Then let the three treasures pass on the meal, what does the master want to eat?"

"You."
