River stone does not turn

"The emperor's road is a road full of thorns. There are many bones on it. How many talented princes are buried in the bones, and there are almost no one who can go from beginning to end smoothly. The sooner the prince who is famous in the world, the less likely he is to ascend to God. You think the emperor is still old and strong, and the prince is more popular than him, how can he tolerate it? In the royal family, the relationship between father and son has never existed." Yin Zhuoli said.

After all, Zhang Shu is a person who has been in court for many years, so he immediately realized: "You mean that King Chen is too popular, and the government and the public think too highly of him, so the Holy Majesty will not tolerate him?"

"Exactly!"

"But King Chen's status today is largely created by the Holy One. If he doesn't think highly of King Chen, why would he do this?" Zhang Shu was puzzled.

"What's wrong with this? Do the opposite! The higher the praise, the harder the fall. Yin Feili obviously didn't like his younger brother from the beginning. As soon as he ascended the throne, he began to praise the intelligence of the king, making the courtiers Everyone thinks that he likes King Chen, and from time to time he will give hints overtly and secretly that he will pass on the throne to King Chen. We need to record these loopholes one by one, and just find the right time to deal with Prince Chen." Yin Zhuoli said.

Zhang Shu commented: "Your statement is tenable, but what about the evidence?"

"The evidence is here!" Yin Zhuoli pointed to Zhang Shu, "Your Agricultural Taxation Department is in charge of Xiluo's money and food, which is the lifeline of the country. The food and grass of the army, the salaries of officials, and the food and clothing of the people are all directly or indirectly controlled by you. Master, such an important department, who do you think Yin Feili will be in charge of?"

"Prince!" Zhang Shu replied.

"Think about it again, what is Prince Chen in charge of? Department of Rites and Music, this is a useless department."

"Didn't you give back the power to assist the prime minister?" Zhang Shu asked.

"What's the use of that? Let's not talk about whether the prime minister needs his assistance or not. Let's talk about the power first. The power has been given, and the official position has been determined? No! Wouldn't that be unfair? If the prime minister gives some face, let him If you look through the official affairs, if you don't give face, I will let you go to the side to cool off, let alone real assistance."

Hearing this, Zhang Shumao suddenly realized, his face was full of joy: "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years!"

Seeing this, Yin Zhuoli sneered: "What are you happy about?"

"The prince is expected to ascend the throne, can I be unhappy?" Zhang Shu shook his head and said, for fear that others would not know his camp.

Yin Zhuoli gave you hopeless eyes in return: "What does it matter to you that the crown prince is expected to ascend the throne?"

"Why is it none of my business? I belong to the prince. If he is expected to ascend the throne, I am expected to survive. Maybe I can make a comeback!" Zhang Shu said with a smile.

Yin Zhuoli sneered: "How is it possible?"

Zhang Shu was upset, and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Yin Zhuoli was speechless, he was so stupid and arrogant, he couldn't help laughing at Emperor Guangwen: "Yin Feili, Yin Feili, this is retribution, you have planned against the sky, you don't know that God's will is like this .Whether you, your son, or your favorite courtiers, they are all mobs that cannot be reused."

"Bold! How can you insult the Holy Majesty like this, you shameless person!" Zhang Shuyi acted on the prince's fox and pretended to be a tiger.

In this way, even Lin Chu, who was obediently drinking soup and listening, couldn't help but gasped and coughed, so stupid.

Seeing Lin Chu reacting, Yin Zhuoli felt even better. He put away his sarcasm and explained the matter seriously. After all, the purpose of these words was not to refute Zhang Shu, but to tell Lin Chu the truth about the government and the public.

"As for you, don't expect to survive. The Crown Prince will not save you this time. Not only you, but all officials in the Agricultural Taxation Department who participate in corruption and fraud will be punished according to the law. Because what you have done before has become the foundation of the Crown Prince's enthronement. Obstacles on the road cannot be removed."

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Shu snorted coldly, "We have risked our lives for the prince, and the prince has also benefited greatly. How could he stand by and watch?"

"He has already stood by and watched. So many people from the Department of Agriculture and Taxation have been imprisoned, and there is no news about it. Why did Lu Jianyu run away? It's not that there are many hidden threads in Flying Star Valley, but Yin Feili instructed the prince to leak the news quietly. Flying Star Valley benefits."

"This..." Zhang Yu hesitated, he really doubted why Lu Jianyu was able to run?He thought about the power of Flying Star Valley, but after years of careful management, his contacts are no smaller than Flying Star Valley, and he has never heard of the wind, so how could Flying Star Valley receive it.Now listening to Yin Zhuoli's explanation, he wondered if the prince was really so heartless?

"There is nothing to doubt. You are of no use to the prince. Why does he keep you? Why not use you as a stumbling block to trap the king." Yin Zhuoli laughed when he said this, "Yin Feili The biggest characteristic of people's way of handling things is insidious, and they always make some conspiracies that can't be put on the table, and the prince is the same! Your case is now being presided over by King Chen, right?"

"Yes!" Zhang Shu nodded, "Prince Chen is the presiding judge, and a young minister in the Judicial and Criminal Division is on the jury."

"That's right! Your case is a hot potato. If you offend the crown prince, no one dares to accept it, so you throw it to the Prince Chen. As for how the Prince Chen handles it? There are two ways: enforce the law impartially, or favoritism. The former will deepen the rift between him and the courtiers, and the courtiers are all human, and no one likes a master who is too fair; the latter is in Yin Feili's arms, and he is waiting for the king to make mistakes!"

"What will Prince Chen do with it?" Zhang Shu hurriedly asked, he knew that the result of Prince Chen's handling would determine his life and death.

"Of course it is to enforce the law impartially! The whole court is watching such a big matter, and favoritism is a dead end." Yin Zhuoli said.

"Ah?" Zhang Shu turned pale with shock, "Then, he doesn't care what the courtiers think?"

"Of course! I'm going to lose my life, so what do you think?"

"Then what will he do in the future?" Zhang Shu asked strangely.

Yin Zhuoli laughed, teasing: "His future affairs have nothing to do with you! Besides, you are the prince's man, why worry about the king?"

Zhang Shu was immediately blocked, and he staggered to explain: "No, now, it's not the time to care who belongs to it, now it's... whoever lets me out, I, I will belong to that person! If King Chen Let me go out! I will tell him everything the prince has done these years."

Now Yin Zhuoli is speechless, with this ability to adapt to the wind, if you don't kill you, I really can't find another person to kill you.

Zhang Shu didn't notice anything was wrong, and asked Yin Zhuoli without stopping: "How is it? Tell me? What kind of trouble will King Chen encounter after this incident? I really want to find a way to discuss it with him!"

Yin Zhuoli shook his head, it's a pity that the court of Xiluo has such a courtier holding great power!I hope that in the future, the Ming Lord will really come out to rectify this court plan.Speaking of Mingzhu, I don't know if there is hope for this Prince Chen?try him?Yin Zhuo moved his heart, and said to Zhang Shu: "After this incident, the road ahead for King Chen will be even more difficult. After he handled the matter impartially and lawfully, Yin Feili will definitely reward him and bring his reputation to a whole new level. Chen Wang may be able to stay awake at this height, but his subordinates will not. How to stand firm at this height is a matter that he will have to deal with for a long time in the future. Of course, there is another The road can be walked, but I don't know if Prince Chen has the courage!"

"What road?" Zhang Shu hurriedly asked, he realized that offering this road to King Chen might save him.

Yin Zhuoli smiled: "If you want to do something big, let yourself fall from this height!"

"This..." Zhang Shu didn't understand at all, but the old demon who had been listening in approvingly laughed, Yin Zhuoli's strategy was better than before.

After hearing this, Lin Chu felt a subtle feeling in his heart, very much like a sudden enlightenment.He doesn't understand government affairs, and he doesn't care about government affairs. What he cares about is Yin Zhuoli's handling methods. Life will always encounter difficult situations. Instead of being careful and maintaining the status quo, it's better to cut through the difficulties and put them to death.

Zhang Shu was still trying to seek an explanation from Yin Zhuoli, but Yin Zhuoli stopped talking, and Shi Shiran leaned against the bar, looking around relaxedly.

Lin Chu recalled Yin Zhuoli's words, the cause and effect of the incident had been explained clearly, and there was really no need to say any more, so he put down the bowl, walked back to the bed with the support of the bars, and lay down to sleep.

Yin Zhuoli was quite satisfied with this, and secretly gave the old demon a thumbs up, praising him for his ability to know people.

The old demon didn't respond, he was very tired, tried his best to move back to the bed, and fell asleep.

Half a month later, the final verdict of Zhang Shu and others was handed down, King Chen reported the crime truthfully, and Emperor Guangwen decreed the verdict.

Half a month later, the jailer came to Lin Chu's prison and read out: "Prisoner Lin Chu, remove his post and release him. You can go!"

Lin Chu walked out of the cell. What he didn't know was that there was a conversation about him somewhere in Silvermoon City a few days ago.

It was a gloomy, wind-piercing evening.Chen Fujing, the general manager of the Prince Chen's Mansion, stood in front of the study of Prince Chen Yin Qiuli. He was Yin Qiuli's confidant and had been with Yin Qiuli since he was a child.

In the case of the Agricultural Taxation Department, Yin Qiuli received an unprecedented award from Emperor Guangwen for his impartial handling. However, Yin Qiuli did not take pleasure in this matter, but became more and more silent.

Chen Fu had experienced the previous generation of princes seizing the heir, and he knew that this situation was very unfavorable to Yin Qiuli, so he was very worried.Today, Yin Qiuli summoned him in the afternoon, but he was not allowed in even in the evening. Chen Fu had a vague premonition in his heart that his master was going to make a big move.

Sure enough, when the sky was completely dark and the snow began to fall, Yin Qiuli sent him into the study.

"You take this pardon, pick a day in the cold, and release this man from the prison. Follow him from afar, and bring him back when he is cornered. Remember! Prevent him from committing suicide " Yin Qiuli said unhurriedly, looking out of the window, the snow was getting thicker and denser, and it was about to turn into heavy snow, and the long winter of Silver Moon City was coming.

Chen Fu received the pardon, and opened it in front of Yin Qiuli, on which was written the name of the released person: Lin Chu.Chen Fu immediately said: "My lord has made up his mind?"

"En!" Yin Qiuli nodded slightly, "I have been planning this matter for a long time, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate. I ran into this person in the agricultural tax treasury a few days ago and felt that this person was worthy of the job. In the case of the Agricultural Taxation Department, I felt that this person was suitable, so I made up my mind."

"That's it! This old slave will make arrangements now." Chen Fuxi said.

"Go."
