great mandate

Besides, after Shen Wuji made up his mind, he already had expectations for the future in his heart, but he didn't show any worry or panic. He still went to the flower hall, had dinner, and then accompanied Luo Jinyu to take a walk by the garden of the mansion to digest food.

Later in the night, after Luo Jinyu took a bath, she went back to her bedroom and couldn't help being startled: "Do you have business tonight?"

I saw that Shen Wuji had changed back to the clothes he wore when he was on duty in the palace, his long hair was tied up, and the red tasseled hat was placed on the table at hand.

Shen Wuji was in a daze, but when he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at him, and smiled: "It's not certain, maybe someone from the palace will call me in the middle of the night."

He waved to Luo Jinyu, "Jinyu, come and sit down, our family has something to say to you."

Luo Jinyu went over and sat down next to him.

"I'm afraid you're worried, so I'll tell you first," Shen Wuji said with a smile, "In the past two days, I may encounter some troubles, and I may not be able to come back for a while, or I may be sent to prison. It's also possible...don't worry!" Seeing that Luo Jinyu's expression changed suddenly, he hurriedly comforted him, "It's just for a while, and I'll be back later."

Luo Jinyu was puzzled and said: "Please tell me clearly, what happened?"

"Hey, it's still about the Yangyi Department." Shen Wuji wrote lightly, "Recently, there have been frequent disappearances in the capital. The East Factory checked and found the Yangyi Department. Today, our family also found Yangyi. He Fangzhou asked He Fangzhou to take people to shovel that weird place."

He roughly talked about the cause and effect, and at the end, he said softly, "If this matter is really the emperor's acquiescence, it is indispensable that Jun Tianci will go to him to speak ill of our family and make our family suffer for a few days. However, you Don't worry, it won't kill our family..."

"absurd!"

Before Shen Wuji could finish his sentence, Luo Jinyu had already jumped up against the case, shouting loudly, almost startling him.

"..."

Shen Wuji didn't dare to speak for a while, only dared to raise his head to look at Luo Jinyu and scolded angrily: "There is such a ridiculous thing! Jun Tianci really said that it was authorized by the emperor?"

Shen Wuji hurriedly said: "He said what he meant, but our family has never asked the emperor, so we can't just say for sure. Well, it doesn't matter, what matters is that our family is afraid that if the palace comes tonight Somebody called our house to scare you..."

"Why am I scared?" Luo Jinyu frowned, "If Jun Tianci is falsely preaching the holy will, he is the one who should be imprisoned!"

"But if he's not..."

"If what he said is true, then the emperor acquiesced in his disregard for human life," Luo Jinyu said, "So—"

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Shen Wuji hurriedly got up and covered his mouth, "It's all right to say that Jun Tianci, what are you talking about?"

"If this matter is authorized by the emperor, then how can I not tell him?" Luo Jinyu opened his hand and said coldly, "I not only want to say it, but also write a letter to Chen Zou, so that all the subjects in the world will know about it."

"Don't!" Shen Wuji said anxiously, "Our family is afraid of you!"

He grabbed Luo Jinyu, "Sit down first, don't be so excited... Sigh. Our family knows this well. Just listen to me."

Luo Jinyu sat down again and frowned at him: "Say it."

Shen Wuji said: "The worst thing is that the emperor granted him permission. Then what our family did today, Jun Tianci will go to the emperor and say that our family has no respect. At that time, our family will pretend to be stupid and say such a shocking thing. I really can't think of it." It has something to do with the Holy Majesty. Although the Emperor is angry in his heart, he may not really dare to do anything to our family. If he kills or takes away our family now, and no one in the court will help him, it will be a situation where the Jun family dominates .”

He said it easily, but Luo Jinyu was skeptical: "Is it really that simple?"

"Don't think too hard." Shen Wuji said with a smile, "At most, the emperor is so angry that he shuts our house for two days, what else can we do? Has he been removed from the post of supervisor of ceremonies in our house? What does he say to the outside world? How dare you raise him?" Is it about the Yi Department?"

Luo Jinyu always felt that something was wrong: "But according to what you said, how could Jun Tianci be so relieved at the beginning, thinking that he had threatened you? It is clear that he thought that if you dare to touch the Yangyi Department, the emperor will definitely lose you What's more, no matter what these things are, you are absolutely not wrong in this matter, why should you be imprisoned for a few days?"

"Hey, you're like this again. You think of things in this world as either black or white." Shen Wuji sighed, "I've told you many times that there are some things in the officialdom that must be exchanged. As long as it is If you trade a small thing for a big one, you've made money, so why bother to stick to these small things. Besides, even if we close our house for a few days, it's still for our family to go on vacation. Except maybe we won't see you for a few days. , and no one dares to treat our family badly, it would be nice for our family to rest for a few days."

He paused for a moment, and then said, "But if you talk about it, things will be difficult to handle."

Luo Jinyu asked: "And why?"

"The matter of Yangyi Department cannot be brought to the fore, and cannot be seen in the light. The emperor is also very clear about this." Shen Wuji said, "Therefore, our family asked Dongchang to arrest people, and also told them to go in the dark at night. Our family also Give enough face, just make big things small, small things down, don't bother anyone too much. But if you go to bring up this matter, ah, with your usual style, in front of everyone's eyes, tell everyone about it You know, isn't it just putting the emperor on the fire platform?"

Luo Jinyu said coldly: "It's just like this, he has no way out, and he will never dare to ask the Yangyi Department to revive in the future."

"You, not only are you beautiful, but you are even more beautiful when you think about it." Shen Wuji couldn't help teasing him, "Why don't you think about it, will the emperor become angry from embarrassment because of you? Do you think He will have nowhere to go, but our family thinks that he will flatly deny the existence of the Yangyi Department."

Luo Jinyu said: "The Nourishing Department is just under the other courtyard in the western suburbs, go see it immediately..."

"Not only can you tell him to watch it right away, but you can also tell all the civil and military officials in the court to watch it." Shen Wuji sighed, "But isn't that just pouring a bucket of oil on his fire table again? It must be burnt to death." Him?"

Luo Jinyu: "..."

"There is an article in the book of war called 'the besieged city must be lacking', do you know what it means?" Shen Wuji asked.

Luo Jinyu said: "I'm not good at reading military books."

"The meaning of these four words is that if you go to besiege the city during the battle, you must leave a gap so that the enemy can escape." Shen Wuji asked again, "Do you know the meaning of this?"

Luo Jinyu shook his head.

"If you don't leave a hole for escape, then you can't just fight to the death?" Shen Wuji laughed, "But if you leave a hole for them to have the hope of escaping, then they won't want to fight."

The two chatted for a while, Shen Wuji said: "It's late at night, and it's not sure when they will come, maybe they will come or not, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to court, you go to sleep."

Luo Jinyu asked with concern: "What about you?"

"I'm afraid I'll wake you up then, let's go to the study to rest for a while." Shen Wuji said considerately.

"But how can I fall asleep." Luo Jinyu refused to agree, took his hand actively, and said, "Even if you said it so simply, I am still worried. Besides, if you don't sleep in a bedroom, what kind of study do you go to?" ? You rest here."

Shen Wuji deliberately laughed at him: "Why, are you so reluctant to leave our house for a while?"

Luo Jinyu was afraid of his jokes, not to mention it was dark and there was no third person around, so she couldn't be more calm and confident, and said: "You and I are married, and we are newlyweds, so naturally we don't want to, what's so funny ?”

Hearing this, Shen Wuji laughed harder, and asked intentionally: "Why, if after one year, you are no longer a newlywed, will you be willing? You will sleep in a separate room with our family?"

"Why did you think of this?" Luo Jinyu said dissatisfied, "After the newly married, it is a long-term couple, why should they live in separate rooms?"

Shen Wuji hugged this silly baby, smiled and said: "Yes, you are right." Then he said, "Hey, but I don't know who kicked our house the night before and said not to talk to us. Let's sleep together, do you want our family to sleep in the study?"

"..." Luo Jinyu became uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "Then, it's already three o'clock, and you still make trouble with me, so I..."

The husband and wife had fun for a while, Shen Wuji was pulled to sleep together by Luo Jinyu after all.It's just that he was lazy, saying that if someone came later, it would be troublesome to get dressed in a hurry, so he lay on the bed with his clothes on, and coaxed Luo Jinyu to fall asleep.

"Jinyu?" Shen Wuji called him a few times in a low voice, and seeing that he was fast asleep, he lightly kissed him on the forehead, leaned sideways, pouted his face, smiled and looked at him for a while, then got up, and put Luo Jinyu tucked in the quilt, and tiptoed out of the room and out of the hospital.

When Shen Wuji and Luo Jinyu were resting together, Laifu and Xifeng avoided taboos, and now they all retreated outside the yard to guard.

At this moment, Lai Fu saw that the master came out suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "What orders does the master have?"

"It's okay, you can go to the bedroom porch, if Jin Yu has something to do at night, you can hear it better." Shen Wuji said lightly.

Laifu nodded and went.

After half an hour, people really came from the palace.

This time, it wasn't Zhan Qingshui who came, but another father-in-law of the Supervisor of Rites, surnamed Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang was ushered to the front hall, seeing Shen Wuji dressed neatly and sitting there drinking tea, he was taken aback, and said: "Mr. Shen is a clever plan."

Shen Wuji calmly put down his tea bowl, got up and said: "Eunuch Zhang has a will, let's announce it."

"That offends Mr. Shen." Eunuch Zhang coughed and said seriously, "The emperor said it."

Shen Wuji bowed to him and listened respectfully.

"Ask Shen Wuji to come and see me right away, without delay." Eunuch Zhang said fairly.

"Slaves would like to obey the sacred edict." After Shen Wuji finished speaking, he accepted the gift and said, "Eunuch Zhang, please."

"Don't dare, please, Mr. Shen." Eunuch Zhang stretched out his hand and said.

Shen Wuji was not polite to him, so he walked out first.

This Eunuch Zhang hurriedly followed him, suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "Mr. Shen, I have one more word to say, tonight, Lord Xiaojun suddenly entered the palace to face the saint... At that time, the younger ones were not in the room, so I don't know what they said What, I only know that the Holy One seemed to be very angry when he called the little one to summon you." Shen Wuji did not speak.

When Luo Jinyu woke up, Shen Wuji had disappeared, asked Laifu what happened last night, he shook his head, sighed, didn't say anything, after washing, he ate a bowl of porridge casually, and went to court.

Nothing special happened in the court, but the person who followed the emperor today was not Shen Wuji, but Zhan Qingshui.

Although the officials felt a little strange, they were not overly surprised. They only guessed that Shen Wuji was ill or was busy with other important matters.

After listening to Shen Wuji's words, Luo Jinyu didn't ask for the matter of raising Yi's office.

This morning, he didn't say anything.

But to his surprise, halfway through the court meeting, the Minister of Rites stood up and reported that there was suspicion of corruption in the Orphanage.

Luo Jinyu was startled.

He mentioned this matter to the servant yesterday, but the servant clearly avoided him, thinking he was meddling in his own business, why did he take the initiative to bring it up today?

The servant briefly explained the matter, and then suddenly said: "Reporting to the emperor, it was actually not the minister who discovered it at this time, but Luo Zishi who discovered it."

The emperor let out an "oh", not surprised at all.

He just said: "Since there is a problem with this matter, let's investigate it. Dali Temple set up a special team to investigate, and the Ministry of Rites also sent out individuals to assist in the investigation, so that Dali Temple can investigate more conveniently."

The servant said: "The minister recommended Luo Zishi to assist in the investigation of this case. He is upright and has a clear style. He is famous for his uprightness. He is actually the best person to investigate official corruption cases."

The emperor nodded: "What Aiqing said is very true, then I will follow what you say." He looked at Luo Jinyu, "Zishi, you can handle this matter properly."

Although Luo Jinyu felt strange, she naturally took orders calmly.

If this is the case, that's all.

But it just didn't.

After Luo Jinyu and the Minister of Rites took orders one after another, they retreated to the ranks of the officials. At this time, another person from Yushitai stood up and said: "Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

The emperor said: "Aiqing, please tell me."

The man said: "Just now the Ministry of Rites talked about corruption and bribery, and now I want to talk about it."

The emperor sighed, and said: "What's the matter, there are still a lot of corruption and bribery in the court? Tell me."

The man glanced at Luo Jinyu who was behind the crowd, looked away, and said to the emperor: "I want to impeach the eunuch Shen Wuji, who is in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, for the felony of selling officials and bribing huge sums of money."
