The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Chapter 221 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

The ministers waited outside for a while, but Wen Jin didn't say anything, and no one dared to leave first. So, like a pilgrimage, a group of ministers in official robes stood outside the gate of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Seeing Wen Jin walking out of the palace, all the ministers' eyes fell on his face. Wen Jin ignored the reactions of others and called the Minister of Rites and the two ministers over, "On the fifth day of September, Her Majesty the Queen's The enthronement ceremony and the marriage ceremony were held together, and the Ministry of Rites coordinated with the inner court to make good preparations, so there was no mistake. "

"Marriage ceremony?" The Minister of Rites was surprised, "Elder Duke... Oh, yes, who will Her Majesty get married to? The emperor has already decided?"

"Marry me." Wen Jin spoke quietly, with no other emotion on her face except her usual gentle smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying this, he turned around and entered the mansion.

"Wait... wait! Mr. Chief Assistant." The official from the Ministry of Rites came to his senses and hurriedly caught up. "We are in a hurry. His Majesty's dragon robes and wedding attire are all here to prepare..."

Wen Jin nodded and replied: "The dragon robe is ready, don't worry."

Is the dragon robe ready?

What...when did it happen?

The Minister of Rites and the two ministers looked at each other and couldn't help being suspicious. If the dragon robe was ready, does it mean that the eldest prince had already planned to ascend the throne?

Or maybe the Wen people had prepared the dragon robe for the elder Duke in advance?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites dared to continue to think deeply. Now it is certain that the eldest son will ascend the throne. On the fifth day of September, he will become the emperor and the marriage ceremony will be held. Wen Jin will become the emperor's husband. From now on, he will be the leader of ten thousand people.

It's strange that the Wen people accepted the eldest son's ascension to the throne so easily. It turned out that the eldest son had already promised to be the emperor's husband.

"What do you guys think?" The Duke of Zhenguo seemed to have finally caught Wen Jin's hand. He turned to look at the other officials, but his voice was lowered subconsciously, "Even the dragon robes have been prepared in advance... …Is this colluding with the rebels? You are all loyal courtiers who serve the king and the country, and you are upright, and you will definitely tolerate such an ambitious traitor to bring trouble to the court—"

"What do you mean, Duke Zhen Guo, the title of the emperor is derived from the name of the eldest prince?" A voice as gentle as jade sounded slowly, with a touch of warmth like a spring breeze, without even a smile on the corners of the lips. An increase of one 늁 or a decrease of one 늁, but it made people shudder for no reason, "Or is the emperor's Zen edict a fake?"

Duke Zhen Guo suddenly turned his head in surprise, and Wen Jin came back for some unknown reason. Now he was standing outside the door with his hands behind his hands, looking at him with a faint smile.

At that moment, Duke Zhen Guo seemed to have seen a poisonous snake spitting out its seeds, and all the blood in his body froze.

"His Royal Highness, Grand Duke 덿 has just returned a few days ago. The Emperor... The Emperor's edict on Zen status was only written yesterday, but the dragon robe has been prepared. I have the right to doubt——"

"Questioning the imperial edict is a capital crime." Wen Jin spoke calmly, turning his eyes and brushing the sleeves of his robe, "The Duke of Zhenguo not only questioned Her Majesty the Queen's throne, but also questioned the emperor's imperial edict, and even questioned the will of God. Such respectful behavior, 놊 Killing is enough to thank you."

Duke Zhen Guo's eyes suddenly shrank: "Wen Jin, do you dare?"

"Jilin." Wen Jin tilted his head, his voice was gentle, even with a bit of pity, "Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, this is your first contribution, the Duke of Zhenguo went against the rules and questioned Her Majesty the Queen, he should be held responsible. punish."

Ji Lin came over and knelt down on one knee: "I humbly obey my orders!"

"꺶ren, is this...is this appropriate?" Someone among the ministers wanted to plead, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, so he should be pardoned——"

"That's alright." Wen Jin waved his hand lightly, "Seal down the Zhenguo Palace, arrest everyone in the Zhenguo Palace, and imprison them all, and maybe let one person go."

Is this...is there anything the same as this?

Nothing is the same.

Wen Jin just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but the Duke of Zhen happened to bump into him.

He spoke in a gentle and leisurely way, making people feel that confiscating homes and exterminating families was a light and easy matter. However, when Ji Lin forcefully ordered people to capture Duke Zhen, all the ministers heard the angry and frightened words of Duke Zhen. Shouting: "Wen Jin, you are a sycophant who uses chicken feathers as arrows. The prince has been blinded by you! You are the one who brought trouble to Chao Gang, and you are also the ambitious one. You deserve to die——"

Only then did the ministers truly feel their legs weakening with fear.

Wen Jin was a scheming and powerful minister, and everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew it. Although he could be the chief minister in just three years, he could kill people so unscrupulously and with a smile... He was still the third person. once.

It really sends chills down your spine.

Ji Lin led the imperial army straight to the Zhen Guo Duke's mansion. The other ministers listened to the Zhen Guo Duke's shouts getting further and further away, heaving a sigh of relief and wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
