Reincarnation of the powerful minister

After leaving the Meridian Gate, Su Yan came to Beizhen Fusi in the carriage driven by Jing Hongchai, but heard that Shen Qi hadn't come back yet.

"What is an urgent case that requires your commanding officer to show up in the middle of the night?" He asked Qianhu Shiyanshuang, who was in charge.

Shi Yanshuang was not clear about it, but said that Gao Shuo had frequently seen Mr. Shen recently, so he might know the inside story.But the other party, as a spy, was elusive, and he didn't know where he was going at the moment.

Since that's the case, there's no need to wait, Su Yantuo Shi Yanshuang told Shen Qi that he would stay at home to rest in the next few days, and if he needed anything, he could go to the Su Mansion to find him, so he took Jing Hong to chase him back.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard the chirping of the servants in the courtyard, Su Yan asked, "What's the matter, you're in such a panic?"

A servant said: "Your Excellency is back! We are going to ask for a doctor, but Brother Xiaobei has fainted, and he can't wake up!"

Su Yan hurried to Su Xiaobei's room, and saw that the man was fainting on the couch, and the maid next to him wiped his face with cold water.

Jing Hong caught up to the pulse gate, took a breath, and said, "Don't rub it, he has been given sweat medicine. The dose is too high. I will use my internal force to dissolve it for him first, and then I will give him some licorice detoxification soup." No problem."

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately shouted: "Where's Su Xiaojing? Has any of you seen him?"

The servant and maid looked at each other and shook their heads: "I haven't seen you since early in the morning. I don't know where Brother Xiao Jing has gone, and he didn't tell us."

"Go to the stables."

After a while, the servant replied: "The carriage that your lord used to sit in is gone, and two horses are missing."

At this time, Jing Hongzhui just paid off, Su Yan signaled him to come to the main house, closed the door, and said, "Azhui, something is wrong. Su Xiaojing walked too abruptly, isn't he worried about revealing his identity as a traitor?"

Su Xiaojing secretly took refuge in Mr. He, but still stayed in the Su residence as if nothing had happened.Su Yan, Shen Qi and Jing Hongzhui all suspected that he wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the news, so they used him to spread false news and go fishing.It's really not normal for people to suddenly disappear nowadays.

Jing Hong chased after him: "Shen Qi said that he sent spies to watch him in turn at twelve o'clock a day. No matter how useless the Jin Yiwei is, he won't be able to keep an eye on a young man who doesn't know martial arts. My lord, just ask Shen Qi's dignitaries. "

"Could the urgent case that happened last night be related to Su Xiaojing? But why didn't Qilang tell me at that time?" Su Yan was a little uncertain, and could only wait for Shen Qi to come back before asking about the situation.

Jing Hongzhui had just poured him a cup of calming tea, when a servant outside the door said anxiously: "My lord, the emperor is here! He is coming towards the main house!"

After Zhu Helin ascended the throne, due to the rules, he seldom paid private visits. This time, he came to the mansion suddenly. Su Yan knew that it must be because of his impeachment and suspension at today's court meeting.

He hastily straightened his clothes and prepared to go out to pick him up.

Zhu Helin pushed open the door and came in, dressed in red woven gold dragon gauze, wearing a black felt hat with a straight brim, with a golden flower on the top of the hat inlaid with rubies, it was a majestic yet heroic attire.

He said to Su Yan face to face: "After the court today, the historian went to the Ancestral Temple to get the Tianhuang Jade Document for revision, but was told by the eunuch with the handprint of the enshrining office—"Su Ge went to the Ancestral Temple in person last night and took the Jade Document away." , saying that he would present himself to the imperial court in the early court'."

Su Yan was stunned: "Last night? I didn't go to the Taimiao... Could it be that Su Xiaojing stole my carriage and got it under a false name? What did he do with the jade document?"

Zhu Helin frowned and said, "The jade document is very important, and it coincides with the major compilation every 15 years. The theft will inevitably cause an uproar. I am worried that you will be involved, so I come to you to find a countermeasure."

Su Yan pulled him to sit down, and passed the freshly brewed Anshen Tea over: "Don't worry, Su Xiaojing betrayed the Lord and turned to the enemy. The few of us knew about it beforehand. When we followed the vine, we also let Jin Yiwei's spies keep watching him. He stole You can't escape even if you get the jade document, Qilang is here."

Zhu Helin couldn't hear him trusting Shen Qi so much, so he asked: "Where is Shen Qi? Since she is always watching, why hasn't the criminal been arrested yet?"

Su Yan smoothed things over: "He hasn't come back from handling the case, it must be for this matter, let's wait patiently?"

"Then he'd better hurry up. Otherwise, the old men in the Ministry of Rites will find out about this matter, and they will go to the office one after another to trouble you and me." Zhu Helin drank a few sips of tea, his mood improved, and there was a smile on his face, "Qinghe Bubble The tea here is really delicious, and there is a fragrance of flowers and plants in the fragrance of the tea, which makes you calm your mind."

Su Yan: "Uh, it was actually Ah Zhui who made it."

Jing Hong chased: "It's me. Make it for adults to drink."

Zhu Helin: "..."

Zhu Helin put the teacup aside in disgust: "It smells like bark and grass roots, like drinking medicine. Later, I will send you a batch of new tribute tea this year, which is better than this."

While comforting the air-conditioned personal guard with his eyes, Su Yan thanked the emperor for his kindness with a smile, and turned the sour words back to the main topic: "Didn't your majesty feel that those officials who raised ponds were a little strange at the court meeting today? "

Speaking of this, Zhu Helin was still angry: "Why not? I ran all the way and shouted all the way, for fear that the entire court could not hear the military situation. This is clearly to set you on fire on purpose. After the court is over, I will order Jin Yiwei to take those few Titang took it for interrogation."

"The results of it?"

"It's what the Secretary of General Administration means—it's your good friend Cui Zhuangyuan. You said that he was drunk and crazy at the court meeting on one side, while the other side is making fun of you behind your back. Does it mean he doesn't want his head?"

Su Yan sighed: "I feel that Cui Jinping seems to have some difficulties. Moreover, at the court meeting today, he reined in from the precipice and avoided my impeachment by getting drunk. Now he is still locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice after receiving [-] court sticks, and he still invites the emperor's men Be merciful, let me communicate with him again."

"Since you begged for mercy, I'll let him go for the time being. Put him in prison for a while and wake up." Zhu Helin thought for a while, and then said: "If you say that Cui Jinping is not so courageous, there must be someone behind him. Does Qinghe know who it is?"

Su Yan smiled: "The emperor asked knowingly. Why, if I tell the other party's name, the emperor will push them to the end and uphold justice for me?"

Zhu Helin was a little embarrassed.

Looking at the situation in the early court, he also guessed that this matter was inseparable from the two cabinet ministers Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian, and maybe Yu Chezhi, who was suppressing bandits, was also involved.

This is a battle of cabinet ministers to suppress political opponents. If it is really fought to the end, the entire cabinet will become an empty shell, leaving only two polished commanders, Yang Ting and Su Yan.It has only been more than half a year since the last cabinet change. If there are frequent changes, not only will the government's decree become a joke, but it will also make people in the world think that Su Yan has no room for people, and those who compete with him will be excluded.

Even if the cabinet is to be reorganized, it is not appropriate at the moment.

Su Yan patted the back of his hand knowingly: "Don't worry, your majesty, I know it well. So I didn't want Xie and Jiang to resign and help me up the sedan chair pole. I'll lose face, and I won't be able to hold my head up in front of me in the future." , that’s all.”

Zhu Helin worried: "Are you really sure?"

Su Yan said: "No."

Zhu Helin: "..."

"Then you still dare to swear in public!" Zhu Helin stood up angrily, "Su Qinghe, you want to piss me off to death! Why take the blame and resign? I see that you are too tired to be a cabinet minister and want to quit the job. Two wild men go to have fun!"

Su Yan slapped the table: "What the emperor said, I'm sure I will sell my life to your old Zhu's family? Just pretend that I can't bear it. There are people who ask for an official position in this world, and people are not allowed to resign." of?"

Zhu Helin was so angry that he suspected that his excuse of being too tired was false, because he was afraid that he would come to pester him again because of what happened that night in Fengxian Hall.Su Qinghe——how could he be so hard-hearted!The young master is not good enough for him, isn't he sincere enough? Why is he just not willing to open up and accept this affection?

Seeing that the veins on Zhu Helin's forehead were about to burst out, Su Yan tried not to lose his temper, and only looked at him with annoyed and sad eyes, which made him feel guilty and distressed at the same time.

In fact, he didn't really want to resign. This was the country where he and the emperor stood shoulder to shoulder in the tall building, and it was also the country where he promised to never be equal to the young master. No matter how tired he was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.The key point is that Zhu Helin got angry with Zhu Helin's sentence "Take the wild man to have a good time". There is a kind of grievance of "I have paid so much for you, and you still want to blame me for wronging me".

Zhu Helin was also aggrieved, and gritted his teeth: "How much I feel sick for you is not worth a word of anger!"

Su Yan surrendered softly, and went forward to grab Zhu Helin's hand.

Zhu Helin shook off angrily.

Su Yan went to pull again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...my lord, it's because I don't know good from bad."

As soon as he succumbed, Zhu Helin felt that he had gone too far, and muttered: "It's me who said it out loud... Forget it, forget it, let's turn the page." While holding Su Yan's hand tightly, he turned his whole body towards himself Armband.

The atmosphere of reconciliation between the monarch and his subjects was very good, Su Yan did not refuse the hug.

Jing Hongchai next to him had a cold face the whole time, feeling that the scene of the young couple arguing was really heart-wrenching and hot, but... whatever, as long as the adults are happy.

But soon, Mr. Su became unhappy.

——Shen Qi who returned to Beizhen Fusi, learned about Su Yan's message from Shi Yanshuang, and also learned about the emperor's private visit from the servants in the front yard of Su's mansion, so she opened the door and entered the main house at this moment.

For a moment the air seemed to freeze.

Su Yan looked astonished, Zhu Helin hugged him tightly, Shen Qi's murderous aura suddenly rose, Jing Hongchai looked on coldly - it doesn't matter which of the two is unlucky, as long as Master Su is well.

Su Yan struggled to break free from the embrace of the emperor, and stuttered: "Qi, Qilang..."

As soon as Zhu Helin grasped his arm, he said to Shen Qi: "Commander Shen refuses to bow down, because he wants to offend him?"

Shen Qi gritted her teeth, swallowed the surging qi and blood in her lungs, and knelt down to salute: "I, Shen Qi... kowtow to the emperor."

Zhu Helin purposely refused to let him flatten, and forced Su Yantong to sit on the bench beside him, and said calmly: "I heard that you went to hunt down the villain who stole the jade document last night, what happened, did you interrogate the person behind the scene? Where is the jade ultimatum?"

Shen Qi's heart trembled, her mind turned back and forth, she bowed her head and said: "I missed a moment when I was hunting, and the prisoner was snatched away by a group of dead men in black. The jade... was also taken away by the other party."

"Rob away?" Zhu Helin raised his eyebrows with displeasure on his face, "What kind of person are you, Shen Qi, who needs martial arts skills and strategies, why can't you even hold a servant?"

"It's the minister's ineffective handling of the case, please punish him by the emperor."

Zhu Helin sneered: "Is it incompetence, or a wrong mind? Don't you think—"

Su Yan quickly interrupted: "A group of black-clothed dead men? Could it be another blood-eyed assassin? Qilang, are you not injured?"

Zhu Helin turned to look at him, deeply annoyed.

Jing Hong chased and stared at Shen Qi, her eyes revealing a sense of scrutiny: "I have wiped out all the Seven Killing Battalions, and there will be no second batch of blood pupils in a short period of time."

Shen Qi said: "It's not a blood-eyed assassin. The head of the man's hood covers his face, so he can't see the way out, maybe it's Mr. He's subordinates..."

"The imperial court issued a reward order, and people from all over the country rushed to report the hidden dens of the Vacuum Sect. Mr. He was so overwhelmed by this, where did he get the spare energy and manpower?" Zhu Helin asked back.

Shen Qi said: "I haven't finished talking - maybe it was sent by the player."

"Then what is the purpose of stealing the Tianhuang Jade Document?" Zhu Helin pressed on step by step, "By the way, I still remember one thing - when Mr. He was captured at Wei's house, you were responsible for escorting him. It was a short distance from Fusi to Beizhen Fusi, and he was actually told to escape halfway. Now that I think about it, it is really strange why such a smart and capable Commander Shen has repeatedly missed at critical moments, allowing Mr. He and the players People get away easily?"

This is obviously a question of guilt.

Su Yan's heart was shocked, and he took Zhu Helin's hand instead, and persuaded him: "Master...you, me, Qilang and Ah Zhui are all friends of fate, and we broke through together under the shadow of many swords, lights and swords. Do you still remember?" We rushed thousands of miles from Nanjing to the capital, it was Shen Qi who risked his life and escorted you for the last journey. I am not here to take credit for him, but to ask the young master to think again, how could he betray the imperial court and you, young master? What is he plotting?"

Zhu Helin regained consciousness from the brief recollection, the chill in his eyes lightened up, but he was still unhappy: "Who knows what he's trying to do! The jade document has not been recovered, and the prisoner is a servant of the Su family. It was all Shen Qi's fault that the raft attacked Qinghe."

Su Yan smiled and said: "There is a traitor in my house, and I will clean up the house myself later. When others say that I am not strict in governing, I will admit it. It is not as serious as what the emperor said. Besides, I wear a The crime has been suspended, are you afraid that you will be charged with another innocuous crime?"

Of Shen Qi's hands hanging by her side, one fist was clenched tightly, and the other was subconsciously pressed on the handle of the Xiuchun knife at her waist.

His eyes moved from bottom to top, slowly moving from the dragon pattern on Zhu Helin's skirt, dantian, heart, throat...

A sudden coercion firmly contained Shen Qi's zhenqi in her body, like a mountain pressing down on the top.Shen Qi snorted, and suddenly turned to look at Jing Hong chasing.

Jing Hong returned with indifferent eyes: What do you want to do in front of adults?

Shen Qi looked at him, her eyes flickering: So what you mind is not what I want to do, but "in front of adults"?

Zhu Helin was spitting bitter water at Su Yan: "You must protect him? Look at his ignorant face—"

There was a sudden commotion outside the house, the sound of running and talking approaching from far away.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty—the six-hundred-mile pond newspaper of Daming Mansion! The posthorse died of exhaustion outside the Meridian Gate, and the soldier in the pond also passed out due to lack of energy due to the day and night driving!"

It was the voice of Wei Liangzi, the head of the Imperial Guard.

Another letter from Yu Chezhi?Zhu Helin suddenly got up and said, "Get up and go to the Meridian Gate!"
