The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"In this way, the minister's plan is wrong. The Zhang family's affairs should be postponed. That little matter has no harm to Shen Shilang. On the contrary, it is a warning to make the emperor so vigilant. Just a word can Think of Shen Shilang." Gao Xun laughed at himself, he still underestimated how much the emperor attached to Shen Jia.

If he knew this was the case, why would he fight for it?He knelt and climbed a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed Zhao Zhang's clothes, and begged: "Your Majesty, since you already know what I want, can you consider me? I am willing to give up everything, and only want to be with you." !" Zhao Zhang pulled out the hem of his clothes, moved a few steps to the side, and asked in a cold tone: "Don't talk nonsense, let's be honest, what other arrangements did you make? For the sake of love, forgive your family, if you are stubborn, then don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hehe...haha...hahaha..." Gao Xun sat on the ground and laughed wildly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to use your family to suppress me. Whether the Gao family lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I'm not afraid to tell you that if Gao Xun Since Jiazhen died because of this, everyone in the world will know about the emperor's affair with Master Shen, when the time comes, will you be able to protect him?"

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhang snorted coldly, turned to look at him, his eyes were like sharp knives, his cheeks were tense, like a volcano about to erupt, "It seems that you have nothing to worry about."

"I don't dare, the emperor will kill if he wants to." Gao Xun closed his eyes and raised his head, revealing his slender and fair neck. He has a gorgeous appearance, and the black clothes and white skin complement each other. Anyone who sees him will feel pity It's a pity that Zhao Zhang's heart is only soft-hearted for Shen Jia, and others don't have such treatment.

Zhao Zhang waved his hand, turned his back to him and ordered: "Take him down, let the imperial physician declare to the outside world that Mr. Gao was poisoned by the assassin, and the rescue failed, and he died of illness. Then send someone to send his body back to Gao's house."

Gao Xun probably did not expect that he would not be able to die in the hands of Zhao Zhang. He thought that when he resolutely rushed from Hexi to Chang'an, he wanted to show off his ambition and stand at the place closest to the emperor in the court. Looking at him every day, getting a word of appreciation from him, and being able to treat him differently is enough.

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable. Just because of Shen Jia, he messed up his senses and made a decision that would never be redone. , he couldn't accept it, the jealousy in his heart would drive him crazy, so he might as well give it a go.

Unfortunately, he was still not smart enough. He thought he had set up a dead end, but Zhao Zhang saw through it at a glance. Originally, if he hadn't been arrested today, he would have sent someone to hold Zhang Lu and his concubine hostage to coerce Zhang's family to withdraw the lawsuit. Trapped in Dali Temple, other people in Shen's residence were nothing to worry about. He let out rumors that Shen's family would not hesitate to kill people in order to keep Shen Shilang's innocence. Hostile and naturally sympathetic to the weak, the Zhang family not only lost three grandchildren, but even their son was beaten to death. Isn't this the best portrayal of an ordinary family oppressed by high-ranking officials?

"Your Majesty, would you like to take another look at my minister?" Gao Xun pleaded as he was being dragged away.

Zhao Zhang didn't look back, and was unmoved at all. Gao Xun's eyes gradually dimmed and turned to self-deprecating. Even before he died, he still laughed and recited poems, "Since ancient times, love is empty and hatred is empty, and the origin of good dreams is the easiest to wake up from." ..."

"Let him, shut up!" Zhao Zhang gritted his teeth and ordered, he never thought that he would incur such a love debt, instead of the joy of being admired, he only got a bloody irritability.

When there was no sound over there, Du Fucheng came to report: "Your Majesty, the man is dead."

"Give him a pair of fine golden nanmu coffins, and send them to Hexi with great fanfare!"

"Yes."

When Lu Zhen came back with the confessions of the two attendants, Gao Xun's body had already been transported out of the palace, he handed over the confession, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Xun has made no less than ten plans against Shen Shilang, even More, they only knew part of it from Gao Xun's mouth. They explained that Gao Xun's work is not static. He originally contacted Jianghu Assassin Organization to pay for murder, but later canceled the plan because of the failure of the Taimiao plan. From the current point of view, Shen Shilang should be safe and sound."

"Send someone to Dali Temple to inform Luo Yuming of the details of this case, let him release him, and then bring Shen Jia to see me!"

Lu Zhen asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should we do with those two?"

"killed!"

Hearing the emperor's anger, Lu Zhen didn't dare to say another word, and retired respectfully. When he arrived at Dali Temple, he saw that Shen Jia was playing chess with Dali Temple Qing. The two were talking and laughing. It was a prisoner awaiting trial, as if he had come to drop by.

Seeing Jin Yiwei coming in, a subordinate coughed and reminded the two adults that Shen Jia was a suspect after all, and it would be bad for Jin Yiwei to report them to the emperor when they saw their trial in Dali Temple like this.

Shen Jia looked up and saw Lu Qianhu walking in, she threw away the chess piece and got up and said, "Did Lu Qianhu come to look for you?"

Lu Zhen made a bow to them, "I have seen Lord Luo and Lord Shen. The emperor has found out the truth of the matter, and asked the subordinate officials to tell the details." He recounted the general history of the matter. In fact, he was puzzled in his heart. He only knew Gao Xun did all this to target Shen Jia, wanting Shen Jia to die without a place to bury him, but he didn't know the reason, Gao Xun's revenge was too inexplicable, there must be something inside that he didn't know about.

But he knew from the emperor's attitude that he couldn't pursue this matter any further. He heard a rumor in Jinyiwei that Ling Jingyun was always respectful in front of Shen Jia, and he kept a low profile. Some people ridiculed him for flattery. The emperor was so humble to Shen Jia.

But he didn't think so. What kind of person is Ling Jingyun? To put it bluntly, he is not afraid of death. He didn't even look down on Pu Guogong back then, so how could he humble himself to his favorite minister?It would be better to say that he fell in love with Shen Jia and wanted to keep it for himself.

Luo Yuming didn't react too much after listening, his eyes still fell on the chessboard, he waved to Shen Jia and said: "Come on, continue playing chess, this game is not over yet."

Shen Jia is not very good at playing Go, it is only considered average, but he has played against Zhao Zhang many times, he has a good memory, he has copied many of Zhao Zhang's moves, and played a draw with Master Luo, but it is not his own It is difficult to get through the flow, if he plays a few more games, he will definitely lose.

"Lord Luo, the emperor is still waiting to come down, why not come down another day?"

"What's the hurry, I still have some testimony here that you need to sign and sign, and the case file will take time to finish, so we have to wait for an hour and a half, enough for us to finish this game."

Shen Jia couldn't refuse, so she had to sit back, but her heart flew away a long time ago, and she was soon defeated. Master Luo was so angry that he took a broom to drive him away.

After walking out of Dali Temple, Shen Jia sent someone back to the mansion to inform his family so that they would not worry, and then went to the palace to meet Zhao Zhang, eager to know what Gao Xun had explained.

Lu Zhen escorted him to the gate of his palace, saw him being taken in by Director Lu himself, and heard the subordinates beside him say: "Master Shen is really favored, the emperor actually used the entire Jinyiwei for his case, I heard that the commander sent you to Hexi It is also because of his affairs, it is no wonder that even the Commander is in awe of him."

Lu Zhen showed a pensive expression, turned around and went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet Lu Jian. The two locked themselves in the room and talked for a while. After coming out, Lu Zhen was still a little dizzy. Complicated, I don't know how to face Mr. Shen in the future.

Although Lu Jian has been working abroad for a long time, Jin Yiwei belonged to him before, so it is not surprising that he would know about the matter between the emperor and Shen Jia. He didn't want to tell Lu Zhen at first, but since he had doubts and was promoted, in the future You must work with Shen Jia, if you offend Shen Jia because of ignorance, it will be bad.

Shen Jia walked into the imperial study room and saw Zhao Zhang sitting by the window holding a book, the sun shone in, and he was surrounded by golden light, as noble as a god descending from the earth.

He walked over to sit beside him, took a few sips from the teacup on the table, and exhaled, "Does this count as a trip through hell?"

Zhao Zhang put down the book, and Shen Jia looked at it. It was a book on the art of war. He asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly read the art of war?"

Zhao Zhang told him, "Qian Jianyuan is dead."

Shen Jia was taken aback, "When did it happen? How did he die? What happened to the bandit suppressing army?"

Zhao Zhang answered one by one, and then led him to the apse, "Someone prepared a brazier for you, you step over the brazier to get rid of the bad smell."

Shen Jia couldn't help laughing, "Why do you still believe this? With you, the real dragon emperor, in charge, what kind of bad luck will get on you?"

Shen Jia finally stepped over the brazier and changed his clothes. If it wasn't broad daylight, Zhao Zhang might have arranged for him to take a bath and change clothes, which is really considerate.

Speaking of Gao Xun, Zhao Zhang didn't say too much, but discussed with him: "The Qian family army lacks a young commander, how do you think I should treat this matter?"

Shen Jia asked seriously: "Does the emperor want to hold the Qian family army in his hands?"

"That's inevitable, but you just need to control it in the hands of your confidants."

"Who does the emperor like?" The one who can be regarded as a confidant by the emperor must be the future minister in the court.

"What do you think of Yao Zhan?"

"to be frank?"

Zhao Zhang glanced at him, smiled and nodded.

Shen Jia rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "It's already a bit difficult for him to take charge of the imperial guards. The Qian family's army is going to the battlefield. He's not familiar with the art of war, is he?"

"Indeed, there are not many loyal generals around me, and there are not many young people. I'm afraid I'll have to search and find out. Fortunately, Mr. Qian is still there, and it's impossible to mention this matter for a while. Moreover, I have to work hard. Think about how to hand over military power smoothly."

"I think Song Bingyang is good." Shen Jia recommended someone calmly.

Zhao Zhang glared at him, "Song Bingyang? He is from the Song family. Maybe he will take over the Song family's army in the future. Isn't that enough?"

"Well, isn't he the youngest son? Which round will we get him, but the Song family's military power will be too heavy in this way, which is really not good." Shen Jia shrugged, "That's no problem, I can't recommend Shi Ye Well, that's my brother-in-law."

Zhao Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Shi Ye? It's feasible, let me think about it." He had to think about the future of the two of them. If the military power could fall into Shi Ye's hands, it would be good for Shen Jia. Who would dare to question him in the future? , you have to weigh it.
