Second minister and thief

"Yan Zheng! Come in Yan Zheng!"

"Your Majesty! This old slave is here. What is your Majesty's order?" As shrewd as a strict father-in-law, the moment he entered the Zhishu hall, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was not right. He knelt down and picked up a few pieces of paper scattered on the ground to piece together Look, after a while, his face changed drastically, he shook his hands, and his lips moved, "This... this..."

"Let Chu Linqiu enter the palace immediately to see me. Minister Xuan, go to... Zhizheng Hall."

"This! Your Majesty... the old slave takes orders." The emperor called the Lord Tong Zhishu by his name in front of his slave, which shows that he was in a fit of anger. It is useless to say more at this time. The most urgent thing is to go to the Privy Council Advise adults to prepare early.This matter is so serious that the 24 adults of the Zhizheng Hall are invited to gather for discussion... Yan Zheng has a premonition in his heart that there will be a bloody storm in Miyagi today.

Mr. Ge wanted to fight to the death with Mr. Tong Zhishu, but he didn't know what other details he had...

Yan Zheng stared at the straight back, finally sighed heavily, and left quietly from the suffocating Zhishu hall.

When he arrived at the Privy Council by car, he saw all the people with solemn faces, holding paperwork in both hands and walking hurriedly. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of himself stopping Wuxia to say hello, and only nodded slightly.

After finally catching someone, he didn't want to report it, he just said, "My lord ordered, if Eunuch Yan from the palace comes, please ask him to move to the lotus room and wait for a while."

"Oh my lord! This is imminent, why are you waiting? Wait! My lord, you said, Lord Tong Zhishu, you know that the slave is coming?"

"I know. Why don't you know?" The young adult nodded and replied, "The adult also said that the military affairs are urgent, so please return to your father-in-law, please forgive me."

"Yo! Don't dare!" Yan Zheng thought about it, and he could understand that since Chu Linqiu had expected that he would come today, he must have known the cause and effect in advance. He was so leisurely at this time, so he must have a perfect countermeasure.

There were thousands of twists and turns in his heart, but he couldn't show it at all on his face. He still had that unfathomable look and said softly, "If that's the case, then let's go in? My lord, please."

"Eunuch, please."

During this period of time, Chu Linqiu's body was much better after being "rehabilitated" by Mr. Liu, and he did not appear in the dangerous situation as before. He would suddenly cough continuously when discussing matters, and even a little bloodshot from the corner of his mouth when it was serious.When Yan Zheng was being led past the meeting hall, he saw through the half-covered door that there was a riot of soldiers and horses inside, and immediately he didn't care about anything, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Hey! My lord, this is..."

"I made my eunuch laugh." Chu Linqiu raised his hand and waved back the group of staff who surrounded him. He propped himself up on the table and slowly stood up. He raised his eyes and stared at the eunuch in front of him. laugh.I don't know if it was because of the illness just now, but when he stood up, he swayed and felt a little helpless, but was supported by the person beside him in time.

"How... how..."

"Eunuch, what did you say?"

"..." Yan Zheng came back to his senses, and saw Chu Linqiu walking to him as if nothing had happened, and patted his arm with a folding fan, "Let's go, since the matter is urgent, I'll wait As a courtier, it is better not to let the sage wait too long."

"That's the reason! Then please go ahead!" Yan Zheng was in a daze for a moment, and then he returned to normal. He raised Bai Chen on his arm, took a step back, and bowed to ask Chu Linqiu to go first.

However, at the moment when the door was pushed open, another person suddenly appeared from the side, approached Chu Linqiu and whispered something.In just a split second, Chu Linqiu's eyes showed a bit of ruthlessness, and his whole body exuded an icy aura. After he casually handed the fan to Du Chengzhi beside him, he immediately pushed everyone away and strode out of the yamen. go.

Yan Zheng didn't know what happened, and was about to interrogate him, but he caught a glimpse of Chu Linqiu walking farther and farther from the corner of his eye, so he could only grit his teeth, and chased after him with his fly whisk, shouting, "Sir, please go slowly! My lord, what are you doing?" ..."

"The sage also brought Lord Hou. Does your father-in-law know?"

"This... this... this old slave really doesn't know." Hearing this, Yan Zheng's heart turned cold.I never let myself be kept in the dark about any order passed down by the sage before.Now, he deliberately distracted himself and asked others to invite Lord Hou.What does this mean?

Did the sage know something, or simply... stop trusting himself?

Chu Linqiu suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and drove to the palace with Yan Zheng. When he got off the carriage, his chest suddenly throbbed, as if he was being pressed down by a huge boulder. If the coachman was not there to help him I'm afraid I'm about to fall to the ground.

Yan Zheng was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly turned and shouted, "My lord! What's wrong with you?"

"It doesn't matter." Chu Linqiu waved his hand, supported the car body to stand firm, and after a while, he staggered towards Zhizheng Hall with the support of two young men.

The Zhizheng Hall is the only institution in Daqi that is established in Miyagi. It is independent from the East and West Mansions. It has great power but is not easily activated. Only when the national value is in crisis or the emperor is facing a dilemma, the door of the hall will be opened.The 24 civil servants in charge can reach a consensus after discussion and complete his decision-making for the emperor.If more than 20 people "nod", the matter will be a foregone conclusion anyway.

So what did the emperor want them to vote on?Let Hou Ye enter the palace by himself first, but he wants to take this opportunity to threaten and force him to admit what?That reckless man didn't have him by his side, so he wondered if his head would get hot and he would say something that shouldn't be said?

The more Chu Linqiu thought about it, the heavier his breathing became. When he walked down the steps and looked up at the plaque, he felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and he was falling straight down, almost fainting.But he knew very well that he still had to suffer, and he couldn't fall down, because Master Hou...wouldn't be able to cope with such a situation alone.

"Let's go."

He didn't know where the perseverance came from, but he waved his arms away from the little doorman who was supporting him, walked slowly up the steps and pushed the door in.As soon as he entered the hall, before he raised his eyes, he heard Xiao Cen say "I don't know" three times in a clear voice to the person in charge, without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Linqiu couldn't help laughing.

"Chu Qing! It's just in time. You come to tell me and all the ministers that the Mobei Army has secretly colluded with the rebellious party, but is it true?"

"Chu Lang!" As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Cen, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, couldn't help but turn around, and actually called out the two people's pet names when they were in the room.For a moment, the complexions of most people present turned livid, especially the Song Ge old party who gathered together, who could almost be described as "no color".
