The little lady of the Hou's Mansion who traveled through time

Chapter 96 Tearing off the mask and threatening uncle

Originally, when Shen Huaqing was alive, the prime minister and imperial power checked and balanced each other in the capital, but now that Shen Huaqing died, Gu Chengxuan's family became the dominant one in an instant.

He naturally didn't want everyone to know that Shen Huaqing's death had been found out, so even if the Shen family said that Shen Huaqing's death was suspicious and went to report to the officials, no one would dare to conduct an autopsy on Shen Huaqing seriously, and no official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice would dare to take this case.

Gu Chengxuan thought he had the chance to win, but Shen Yinghan came with a memorial and cover-up report.

Before going to Huoxi City, Shen Huaqing got Shen Yinghan the official position of Minister of Dali Temple. He was not an official of the Ministry of Punishment and was not under the control of the Ministry of Punishment, but he had the authority to investigate cases.

As for Wu Zuo, before Song Sijun left the capital, in order to test the medicine, Shen Huaqing also got him the status of Wu Zuo.

So Song Sijun's autopsy is formal and legal.

This matter, because it was too young, Gu Chengxuan's subordinates did not report it to Gu Chengxuan.

But he didn't want Shen Yinghan to catch Gu Chengxuan by surprise because of a small loss.

The uncle and nephew met again, but the atmosphere was no longer the harmony it was before, but more indifferent and tense.

Now that things have happened, both of them understand that they can't pretend anymore, and there's no need to continue pretending.

After reading the memorial that Shen Huaqing handed over, Gu Chengxuan said, "So you think someone injured Shen Huaqing, and then burned him to death?"

Shen Yinghan: "Judging from the current evidence, it is indeed the case. I also ask the emperor to issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Gu Chengxuan did not answer, but got up and walked towards Shen Yinghan, walked around Gu Chengxuan who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked him up and down, and said: "Yinghan, how long has it been since uncle and you have seen each other? It's been a year." ?You seem to have grown a lot in Horsey City for a year."

"You are young and experienced, so naturally you have to improve."

Gu Chengxuan nodded, then stood behind Shen Yinghan, and said sadly: "Since you have grown up, you should know how to measure and do what you can. Your mother didn't tell you, can't we investigate this matter?"

"Mother said?"

"Then why are you disobedient?" Gu Chengxuan walked back to his seat and threw the things that Shen Yinghan handed in at Shen Yinghan's feet, "For mother's sake, I will spare you this time. Take these things and go back. Shen Huaqing is Died by accident."

Shen Yinghan bent down, reached out to pick up the memorial and autopsy report thrown on the ground, stacked them neatly, and looked at Gu Chengxuan, "Will uncle kill me? Just like killing uncle?"

Gu Chengxuan frowned, "My patience with you is limited." If you annoy him, you will still kill him.

Shen Yinghan took a deep breath and said, "Is my uncle clear about my affairs in Horsey City?"

Gu Chengxuan did not answer.

After Shen Huaqing sent Shen Yinghan to Huoxi City, he cut off the contact between the two parties. With Lin Changxu's intervention, Gu Chengxuan's people lost Shen Yinghan's information.Later, he and Shen Huaqing fought like a raging fire, so he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Shen Yinghan's affairs.

In his opinion, even a sick child would not cause any trouble in Horsey City.

Shen Yinghan: "I am the Young City Lord of Horsey City now."

Gu Chengxuan was startled, and looked at Shen Yinghan.

Before, he had heard that there was a young city lord in Horsey City, but because the news was blocked, he didn't know it was Shen Yinghan.

Shen Yinghan looked at Gu Chengxuan, neither humble nor overbearing, "If the emperor wants to kill me, he still has to think carefully about how to deal with Huo Xicheng."

Gu Chengxuan clenched his fists and said in a cold voice: "Huoxi City does have a bit of reputation, but it's just a small city, and I'm afraid he won't succeed."

"As the monarch of the Qing Kingdom, His Majesty is not afraid of the little Huoxi City. It's just that behind Huoxi City are Yaoxing, Yeyou and Guxi."

"Do you really think they will send troops for you?" Gu Chengxuan disdainfully said, "You may have some weight in Lin Changxu's eyes, but you are nothing in the eyes of the Three Kingdoms."

"No, if I die, it will be the reason for them to send troops to attack the Qing country. At that time, they will be famous and share the fat of Qing country together."

Gu Chengxuan stood up, "Are you threatening me? Shen Yinghan, the last person who dared to threaten me was Shen Huaqing. Now, he is dead!"

Faced with Gu Chengxuan's threat, Shen Yinghan did not show any weakness, "Your Majesty, you should be very clear about my body, I can't live for a few years. Even if you kill me now, I won't lose a few years. Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, You can kill me now, and make yourself the king of subjugation."

"My country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the frontier fighters are brave and good at fighting. How can I be afraid of their three small countries!"

Shen Yinghan smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, well said, but did the emperor forget that my surname is Shen?"

Gu Chengxuan gritted his teeth, "Are you going to follow in Shen Huaqing's footsteps? Why do you all force me?"

"Then I have to ask uncle why he wants to poison my body!" When mentioning this matter, Shen Yinghan couldn't be emotional. He rarely mentioned this matter, but it didn't mean he didn't care. He looked at Gu Chengxuan, "I have envied other people to have a healthy body since I was a child."

"If you were a healthy child, I would not allow you to live till now!" Gu Chengxuan flicked the memorial on the table, "You are a child of the Shen family, if you were not my nephew, I would never let you live. I let you live for more than 20 years, and I love you so much, you should be grateful."

"How did the emperor manage to say these words with confidence? Could it be that my surname is Shen, so I can't live?"

"Your Shen family has made great achievements. Your uncle can easily change the position of the prince. In the army, only the Shen family is known, but the Emperor Gu family is unknown. Your Shen family is too terrible to stay."

Song Sijun looked at the amiable uncle who was not there, and smiled sadly, "It's easy for the emperor to kill me. Now that you are in the palace, you can pull out the sword beside you and kill me now. Except for my future troubles."

Gu Chengxuan glanced at the saber hanging on the side.

Shen Yinghan continued: "It's easy to kill me, but the impact after my death is probably something you don't want to see."

"Your health is not good, just kill you and say that you died of a serious illness in the palace." Gu Chengxuan walked over and picked up the saber beside him, "You are right, now kill you, In order to avoid future troubles."

"Before I entered the palace, I asked someone to spread the news of my uncle's death. In addition, I added a paragraph at the end, Shen Yinghan investigated Shen Huaqing's case, angered the emperor, and the emperor wanted to kill him. If I die , then this rumor will become the truth, and when the emperor and the people know that you killed uncle and me, you will lose the hearts of the people. And if the border gate receives such news, the soldiers will also feel chilled, and I am afraid they will not I am willing to defend the country for you, the emperor. Plus Huoxi City. Kill me and cause internal and external troubles, and I am worth it."

Gu Chengxuan dared not pull out the sword, he and Shen Yinghan looked at each other, at this moment, he felt that the child in front of him had changed, became like Shen Huaqing, which made him afraid.

Gu Chengxuan asked: "What exactly do you want?"

"Let me enter the court as an official, and be the first among all officials."

"Why should I promise you?"

"As long as you promise me, I won't mention uncle's matter again."

After hearing this, Gu Chengxuan laughed, "Even if you investigate this matter, you can't do anything to me, right?"

Shen Yinghan looked at him, with a calm face, and said very calmly: "You can try. Uncle has devoted himself to the Qing Dynasty for so many years, and in the eyes of the people and celebrities, he still has some prestige. You dare not kill me, so I can make trouble, as long as When things become as uncontrollable as the former prince, many things cannot be decided by you, the emperor."

Thinking of the prince's farce back then, Gu Chengxuan felt a little panicked. Seeing Shen Yinghan's confident appearance, he chose to retreat.

In fact, Shen Yinghan didn't think that I could make trouble out of Gu Chengxuan's control. He said that, he was just betting that the other party would not dare to bet with him.

Obviously, this time he won the bet.

Gu Chengxuan: "Okay, I promise you. But it is impossible to give you the position of prime minister. You don't have the qualifications to convince the public."

"Whether I can convince the crowd is my own ability."

"The position of prime minister is related to the country, it's not something you can try." Gu Chengxuan put the sword on the table, sat down again, and looked at Shen Yinghan below, "You want to be an official in the court, isn't it just to be with your uncle?" Can someone get on the line? Then you should go to the Ministry of Officials, so that you have a chance to dismiss most of the officials."

"So kindly giving me an idea, you want me to be a bait to hook everyone out and catch them all."

Gu Chengxuan looked at Shen Yinghan with great interest; "Then are you going or not?"

Naturally, the reason is the same as what Gu Chengxuan said, but how to get in touch with Shen Huaqing's followers without being discovered by Gu Chengxuan depends on Shen Yinghan's own ability. "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials."

"Okay." Gu Chengxuan admired Shen Yinghan's courage, and felt that he was very similar to Shen Huaqing.But he also has confidence in himself, he has not lost after fighting with Shen Huaqing for so long, and it is even more impossible to lose to the fledgling Shen Yinghan.

However, he didn't know that Shen Yinghan at this time was Shen Yinghan who had been trained by Lin Changxu.

Song Sijun stood outside the palace gate, waited for a long time, and kept looking inside restlessly.

Finally, he waited for Shen Yinghan.Shen Yinghan was complete, safe and sound.

Song Sijun heaved a sigh of relief and walked over.

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Song Sijun said, "He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Shen Yinghan shook his head, "I'm making things difficult for him."

"Did he promise you?"

"It's a promise, but it's just the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

The two got into the carriage, and Song Sijun asked, "Where is the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

"Let him be demoted to one level and become the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to assist me." Shen Yinghan took out a copy of the imperial decree, "We are now proclaiming the decree in the past."

Song Sijun frowned, "Isn't this just asking you to offend someone? You stole the other person's job and asked you to go and notify." This Gu Chengxuan is really bad.

Shen Yinghan was very indifferent, and said: "In the future, such things will be indispensable."

Yes, if you want to do things under Gu Chengxuan's nose, you must be embarrassed by the other party.

The two arrived at the mansion of the Ministry of Justice. After reading the imperial edict, the original Minister of the Ministry of Punishment froze in place, with a puzzled expression on his face, "What did I do wrong? Why is it so sudden?"

Hearing this, Shen Yinghan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, go and ask the emperor yourself." After speaking, he reminded the other party to accept the order.

After the other party received the order, Shen Yinghan took Song Sijun away.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Yinghan said: "In a few days, I will find a reason to kick this person out of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Why? He is the emperor's man?"

Shen Yinghan nodded, "I wasn't sure at first, but after hearing what he said just now, I'm sure."

"What happened to what he said?" Song Sijun was puzzled.

Shen Yinghan said: "What did he say the minister did wrong? Why is it so sudden?"

Song Sijun nodded, "Is there something wrong with this sentence?"

Shen Yinghan said: "If he belonged to my uncle and was relegated suddenly at this moment, he would never ask such a sentence." Because of Shen Huaqing's lineage, losing his backing and being relegated is a matter of course.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not think so.

In addition, Gu Chengxuan also arranged to be beside Shen Yinghan, obviously for the convenience of monitoring Shen Yinghan.

After that, Shen Huaqing was buried.The emperor also let Shen Yinghan be the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment as agreed, but after Shen Yinghan took this position, he never went to the Ministry of Punishment, like a relationship with a temporary job, who only takes money and does not work.

In the past few days, he has been busy decorating the Hou Mansion and raising birds.

For a moment, Gu Chengxuan was a little confused about Shen Yinghan's behavior.

The more he can't figure it out, the more he is afraid, but he is afraid but has no way to start.

In autumn, news came from the palace that the queen gave birth to a little prince.
