The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

"Why would the prime minister say such things?" Shen Yu couldn't remember any intersection between himself and the prime minister.

"I didn't hide from the prime minister the methods Ah Yu gave," Shang Junlin put down his gloom, "the prime minister should be happy to see it."

Shen Yu was noncommittal about this result, and asked another question: "Is there any result from His Majesty's interrogation of Lord Feng and the mysterious force that he captured?"

Shang Junlin: "Feng Pingqi has a result. This time, he is only following the orders of that force, and he doesn't know much about the inside story of Subei."

Shen Yu: "He doesn't know about the Beimo people?"

Shang Junlin: "That's right, the result of several interrogations is the same. He only provided the information of the imperial court's disaster relief to that side, and then 'by the way' helped the other side to block the report from Subei."

Shen Yu: "What benefits did the other party promise?"

"Oh," Shang Junlin snorted coldly, "It's nothing more than that, wealth, power, or others, there is always something that can impress him."

Once something like greed arises, it doesn't go away easily.

"Feng Pingqi was able to enter the cabinet back then, and those people helped him. In return, he needed to do things for those people. Spreading rumors that are not good for me is one of them, and the matter of Subei is also one of them." Shang Junlin caressed his gloomy face long hair, added.

Hearing this result, Shen Yu was not very surprised. There were rumors that were unfavorable to Shang Junlin from the very beginning. The other party had been dormant for many years and was still an important minister of the court. Know nothing.

The more inside information you know, the easier it is to find out the points that can be manipulated. Half-truths and half-false lies are always the most difficult to be exposed, because you know the inside information and fabricate the "truth" for the people at first glance. Credibility will be very high.

"Where is the king of Yue, what is the connection between them and the king of Yue?" Shen Yu did not forget that there was another king of Yue who tirelessly discredited Shang Junlin.

"For the time being, there is no evidence to prove that there is any connection between them. Feng Pingqi also refuses to admit that he and the King of Yue communicated with each other. There is not enough evidence, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs cannot force him to confess. For other crimes with conclusive evidence, he They all confessed."

"What about the other force that was caught, did they confess anything?"

Shang Junlin shook his head: "That man is very stubborn. After so many days of interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he couldn't ask anything except to smear Zhen and Subei."

"Master Feng gave me medicine at the beginning, was it also instigated by those people? Did they also do it when I fell ill outside the palace?"

The gloomy suspicion was the same as that of Shang Junlin. After arresting the person, Shang Junlin asked people to interrogate the matter immediately, and the result was similar to what they expected.

"They admitted this, but when asked why they did this, these people began to look around. I am very concerned about the reasons inside. I would choose you to enter the palace at the beginning. Mr. Feng is one of the pushers. If you really don't want you to enter Palace, they should have excluded you from the beginning."

When choosing candidates to enter the palace, as the only son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Shen Yu should not have been on the consideration list, but his name was on the list, and finally entered the palace.

"What happened at that time? Your Majesty has been refusing to choose someone to enter the harem. How did you agree that time?" Shen Yu was quite curious. In two lifetimes, Shang Junlin agreed just once.

"I can't tell. At that time, there was a lot of quarreling in the court. I was so annoyed that I let go of my mouth. Now it seems that thanks to my letting go, otherwise Ayu would not have entered the palace." Speaking of this, Shang Junlin Feel a little lucky.

"If it wasn't me who entered the palace back then, but someone else, what would your majesty do? Would your majesty and him be like us now?"

"How is it possible?" Shang Junlin laughed, "My original plan was to find a palace for him to live in. They wanted to send someone in. I can do what they want, but how is this person's life in the palace? It's not something they can control, I won't care, let alone treat him like I treat Ah Yu."

In this world, only depression is special.

Shang Junlin thought, I'm afraid those people didn't expect that the people they sent to the palace after all their hard work, not only failed to meet their wishes, but also brought them a lot of obstacles.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry borrowed a few people from the Ministry of Rites to help with the assessment. This is the first time that the Ministry of Industry has done such a thing. Watch closely.

Those who intend to participate in the assessment look forward to the arrival of the final day.

A few people with good relationships got together and talked about the assessment.

"If I can pass the exam, I will be a member of the Ministry of Industry in the future, and I will have face when I say it."

"Have you seen the assessment process? At first I thought it would be similar to the imperial examination, but I didn't expect it to be completely different. I remember that one of them is to show your good side in the assessment. Do you have any ideas in mind?"

"What are you good at? I'm good at blacksmithing. Is it possible that I have to blacksmith during the assessment?"

Everyone is looking forward to this test.

The imperial court is still busy with Subei and Mr. Feng.

Knowing that Mr. Feng did not collude with the Beimo people, the people in the court breathed a sigh of relief. Taking this opportunity, Shang Junlin wiped out the forces in the court. His actions were so big that the ministers focused their attention on In this matter, I did not notice some changes in the folks.

For example, several major private bookstores have jointly published a very basic literacy book, which is mainly sold to ordinary people. For example, in addition to the Minbao, another newspaper quietly appeared in the capital.

Different from Minbao, this new newspaper is full of folk anecdotes, and there are also some storybook stories, which are obviously more entertainment in nature. A newspaper is not expensive, and many literate people bought it out of curiosity. Look, storytellers in restaurants and teahouses have developed a new sideline from this—newspaper readers.

These changes did not attract the attention of the aristocratic family for the time being. Their attention was focused on the imperial court. Mr. Feng was a big tree.

At this time, everyone hopes that they can reap greater benefits.

Shang Junlin watched their infighting with cold eyes. This was not the first time such a situation had been staged in front of him.

The dispute between Beijing and China will not affect Subei.

According to the clues given by Yao Ji, Fang Jun carefully checked those businessmen, and found that they all had something in common with Boss Sun. They all rose up suddenly at a certain time, and then took control of Subei as quickly as possible. business world.

Subei is located in a remote area, and its business development is far inferior to that in the south. This has also resulted in the fact that apart from these few big businessmen who are inextricably related to Boss Sun, the rest are small businessmen with little influence.

Fang Jun informed He Chengyu and Jiang Huaiqing of the information he found.

He Chengyu has already gained Boss Sun's trust, and he has met many businessmen successively during this period, all of which were guided by Boss Sun.

After comparing it with the news sent secretly by Mr. Fang, the two found that the overlap between the two sides was very high.

"It seems that these people are also insiders." Jiang Huai checked the table.

"The third transaction went smoothly, and Boss Sun's defense against us has been reduced to the minimum. It's almost time to close the net."

Before the fourth transaction, Boss Sun came to visit.

"This time, we need some different goods over there."

He Chengyu poured tea for the two, and pushed one of the cups in front of Boss Sun: "What is it?"

Boss Sun said a few words in a low voice. Seeing that He Chengyu's face changed slightly, he patted his hand: "I know you have a connection, and the price offered there is also high. If it works this time, it can earn enough for three years." .”

"It's not that I don't agree, it's that these things are not easy to get." He Chengyu looked embarrassed, "And the risk is very high. I do have some connections, but there are too many demands and the risk is too great..."

Boss Sun has been observing the expression on his face, seeing this, lowered his voice again: "So the price they offer is high, and you also have to take risks when you cooperate with others, and the one you get is far less than what you got this time." Quantity, you have done business with them a few times, and you can feel their generosity, if I didn't really treat you as a friend, I wouldn't call you on purpose."

He Chengyu seemed to be moved, with a hesitant expression on his face: "I need to think about it."

"Okay," Boss Sun didn't press too hard, "When do you think about it and tell me, I'm still waiting for a reply."

After sending Boss Sun out, Jiang Huaiqing sat where Boss Sun was sitting just now: "It's a pity that such a good tea is cheaper for him."

"If Huaiqing likes it, I'll ask someone to send some more."

"Why do you need to spend money, I just said casually, all this is finally coming to an end."

After they came to Subei, they directly changed their identities and approached Boss Sun. In order to avoid unnecessary changes, the connection certificates were temporarily placed in Mr. Fang's hands. The elder brother has gone out to gain knowledge of the rich children.

Everything in Subei is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the turmoil in the capital caused by Mr. Feng's fall has gradually calmed down.

The weather is getting cooler, and the annual autumn hunting time is slowly approaching.

Autumn hunting is a tradition of Dahuan, and it is also a rare continuation project after Shang Junlin ascended the throne. The court began to prepare for autumn hunting.

Before the arrival of autumn hunting, the gloomy birthday comes one step ahead.

Zhenbeihou still did not give up on taking this opportunity to repair the relationship with Shen Yu, and wrote several family letters to the palace, but Shen Yu piled them all aside and did not open them.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei hasn't given up yet?" Shang Junlin glanced at the letter that was left in the corner by depression, and asked.

The corners of his lips curled up gloomily and mockingly: "If I don't fall out of favor, he won't give up for a day. The Shen Qingran he liked was given up by himself. Right now, I am the only one who can bring benefits to the Zhenbeihou Mansion." .”

"Ah Yu doesn't want to ignore it, but he is just a mere Marquis of Zhenbei, how can he be as happy as Ah Yu?" Shang Junlin sat next to Shen Yu and handed him a pamphlet.

"This is?"

"It was sent from the fiefdom of the vassal king. Let's see if there is anything else I want."

Shen Yu opened the booklet, which contained the sorted roster, which was a birthday gift from the feudal lords from all over the place.

In order to match his preferences, the roster is basically filled with all kinds of treasures. When Shen Yu was about to say something, suddenly there was someone more in the room.

The leader of Yinlongwei half-kneeled on the ground, and there was no emotion in his voice: "This subordinate did not do his job well. After taking that person to the capital, he was allowed to escape. This subordinate voluntarily accepted the punishment."
