Chapter 27 I Believe in You
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"
The thundering greetings resounded throughout the hall, and it was not until the emperor's angry figure completely disappeared from sight that the ministers stood up one by one.
Wen Jin turned around and walked out of the hall, and suddenly an urgent voice came from behind: "Master Wen, please stay."
Wen Jin turned around and saw Mr. Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, chasing out in a hurry, "Sir, Chief Assistant."
Wen Jin smiled slightly: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Ji?"
"Xiaguan's son was taken by the eldest princess to be a slave. Xiaguan didn't sleep well for the past two days." Ji Shangshu said with a sad face, "What does the chief minister think Xiaguan should do? Please give me some help." Give me a tip."
"I have been feeling unwell for the past two days and did not pay attention to what was going on outside." Wen Jin looked at him puzzled, "Why did Her Royal Highness the Princess take Master Ji's son away?"
Master Ji frowned and said: "Oh, there is nothing we can do about this matter. I just have routine duties..."
"Just keep the story short."
The two of them were chatting and walking out. However, as soon as they walked out of the hall, they heard the voice of a eunuch: "Master Wen, the emperor has sent you to the imperial study room to discuss matters."
Wen Jin and Minister Ji turned around to see Wei Changhai holding the Buddha dust in his hand and looking at Wen Jin respectfully.
"I will be waiting for Master Ji in my mansion tonight." Wen Jin looked at Master Ji with a smile, as gentle as jade, "Don't worry, Mr. Ji has good luck, everything will be fine."
Master Ji nodded: "Then I will bother you tonight."
Wen Jin hummed and turned around to go to the imperial study room.
Ji Shangshu looked at Wen Jin's slender figure and sighed softly. Mr. Wen is such a good person. He never hesitates to solve the problems of his subordinates, so he has always had a good relationship with his colleagues.
As soon as he opened his mouth in the court, almost no one else would confront him. Especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation where the various factions had been competing against each other had improved a lot.
Nowadays, the civil servants in the court almost look upon Wen as their leader and assistants as their leader. As for the generals, although the Xiao family is the leader, the royal family also has a regent who is quiet but can shock the world.
Entering the royal study, Wen Jin bowed to the king in a formal manner, with an elegant posture and a gentlemanly demeanor that made people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
"Are Wen Qing complaining about me?" Yan Chen looked at the man who looked like a jade tree in front of him, his eyes darkened slightly, "You are complaining that I didn't listen to your advice before?"
So you've been sick for three days and haven't seen anyone?
Wen Jin smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, I dare not."
This person always has an impeccable noble manner, not like a powerful minister in charge of the cabinet at all. His deep scheming is perfectly hidden, and without realizing it, people can let down their guard and think that he is an upright person.
Yan Chen looked gloomy: "I seem to be a little unclear about what kind of person Yan Qing is. I would like to ask Wen Qing for an idea."
"As for the eldest princess, the emperor was actually wrong from the beginning." Wen Jin said calmly.
"Was it wrong from the beginning?" Yan Chen narrowed his eyes, "It's okay for Wen Qing to speak out."
"The eldest princess was exiled in Suzaku City for ten years. From the age of eight to eighteen, no one knew what she did during these ten years. No one knew whether there was anyone behind her to protect her. No one knew whether she had suffered any grievances or experiences. What kind of disaster caused such a change of heart?" Wen Jin said calmly, "Since the late emperor gave her the opportunity to take charge of the army before his death, he actually had no intention of using the power of Qilin Guards to win over her to serve the emperor. If a small favor can move her, When you see her, the emperor has a knife in his hand, and it is a knife that everyone is afraid of. "
For many people, the four words "Tiansha Lone Star" itself mean a kind of fear and fear.
In fact, there are not many people who are willing to take the initiative to provoke Yan Qing.
Yan Chen remained silent.
"I have said before that Young Master Xiao openly went to a brothel to have a secret meeting with someone before getting married. He was the one at fault. It is not an excessive move for the eldest princess to catch the adulterer. It will not make her angry by going to war."
It's fine now. Whoever regrets it knows it in his heart.
Yan Chen indeed regretted not listening to Wen Jin's advice.
If he had the attitude of winning over Yan Qing from the beginning, he should reprimand the Xiao family and his son and coax Yan Qing. In this way, Lu Guozhong would not die, he and the Queen Mother would not be poisoned, and the sons of Hu Yushi and Hubu Shangshu would not be poisoned. Nor will they be taken to the princess's house as slaves one after another.
Yan Qing would not even try to force his way out of the city.
But it's too late to say this now.
Yan Chen sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and couldn't help but think that if Yan Qing really left and never looked back, there would be no one in the court who could restrain the regent.
Although the Xiao family also held military power, the regent Yan Cang did not take the Xiao family seriously at all.
Yan Chen held the tea cup and felt extremely regretful: "What does Wen Qing think I should do now?"
Wen Jin said: "First let me find out where the eldest princess has been. If she has returned to Suzaku City, then find out what is the relationship between Suzaku King Luming and the eldest princess."
Yan Chen thought that Yan Cang had said something similar a few days ago, that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
He was indeed too hasty. He should have a better understanding of Yan Qing's experience in the past ten years instead of blindly turning against her.
What if she never comes back in anger? What about his antidote?
Thinking that he, the majestic king of a country, could be poisoned so easily, in addition to the fear of death, Yan Chen felt as if he had eaten a fly.
Yan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the darkness in his eyes: "Wen Qing suspects that King Suzaku has an ulterior relationship with Yan Qing?"
"It's not that I can't tell anyone." Wen Jin shook his head, "It's just that the princess has lived in Suzaku City for ten years after all. No one knows how many things have happened in the past ten years."
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." Yan Chen looked at Wen Jin, "I believe you can make the most appropriate arrangements."
Wen Jin humbly: "I dare not."
"I believe you."
Wen Jin was silent, "In this case, I will obey your order."
Yan Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "I have just ascended the throne not long ago, and sometimes I am not very careful in doing things. If there are any shortcomings in the future, please correct me in time, Mr. Wen. I want to be a wise ruler."
Wen Jin's tone was humble and sincere: "It is not difficult to be a wise ruler. As long as you can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, have the world in your heart, and have tolerance for others."
Yan Chen nodded: "My dear, you are right."
"I will leave first."
"Mr. Wen, go back and have a good rest."
Wen Jin turned and left the imperial study, facing the bright sunshine, but his eyes were empty and cold.
Be a wise ruler?
What a joke.
After returning to the mansion, Wei Yun reported: "Sir, the people going to Jizhou have already set off, and there will be news in a few days."
"Yes."
Jizhou is Xiao Chongshan's hometown, where he has an old mother and a divorced wife.
More than 20 years ago, Xiao Chongshan won the title of martial arts champion through a martial arts competition, trained in the Beijing army, experienced several rebellions in the court, and repeatedly made meritorious deeds. Later, he was appreciated by the late emperor, entrusted with important tasks, and even married a young lady from a noble family in Beijing.
Knowing that Xiao Chongshan still had an old mother at home, the emperor allowed him to bring his mother to serve him, but Xiao Chongshan declined the late emperor's kindness several times on the grounds that his mother liked her hometown.
After Wen Jin took office, he checked that the reason why Xiao Chongshan was unwilling to bring his mother to Beijing was just because he was worried that the abandoned divorced wife and the children at home would be known to others.
