Chapter 3 The Emperor's Wrath

In the imperial study, the air was stagnant and uneasy.

"Yan Qing went to Hongyuan Tower to catch the adulterer?" The young emperor slowly raised his eyes, his eyes full of anger, "It's ridiculous for a noble lady to go to that filthy place!"

The palace servants who were standing by knelt down instantly: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Beside the imperial desk stood the youngest and gentlest Prime Minister of the dynasty, with a voice as clear as water, "The princess went to do business, not to make trouble. Besides, she went there in broad daylight and came back in broad daylight. No one dared to say anything wrong about the princess."

This sentence was not only a protection, but also a reminder to His Majesty that since the day he ascended the throne, the ninth princess Yan Qing had been the princess in charge of the Qilin Guard. The three words "princess" represent not only a noble title, but also military power and real power.

The title was granted by the late emperor's will and should not be despised.

There is nothing wrong with going to a brothel.

The emperor was disgusted and said coldly: "You don't have to defend her."

Wen Jin smiled lightly: "The eldest princess left the imperial city for ten years. This time she came back to marry Xiao Jinghan in accordance with the late emperor's will. However, Xiao Jinghan went to the brothel in broad daylight to meet with someone, which embarrassed the eldest princess. It is reasonable for Her Highness to be angry. The emperor should be more understanding."

Yan Qing was exiled to Suzaku City for ten years. A few years ago, the late emperor was critically ill and ordered Yan Qing to be recalled and granted her marriage with Xiao Jinghan.

Now that the marriage has not been completed, Xiao Jinghan openly went to the brothel to hang out. Obviously, he did not take the eldest princess seriously at all. He deserved to be punished.

"Your Majesty!" The eunuch chief steward hurriedly reported, his voice slightly urgent, "General Xiao wants to see you."

"Look, look!" The emperor's anger rose again, "It's such a big fuss, the whole imperial city knows about this shameful thing, how can I explain it to General Xiao?"

Wen Jin smiled gently, but his eyes were a little colder: "Your Majesty is the king of a country after all, how can you be so out of control?"

When something happened, the king of a country was so anxious to give an explanation to his ministers, where is his majesty?

The young emperor was startled when he heard the words, and just as he was about to say something, a middle-aged strong man in black military uniform walked in quickly, with a sword on his waist, looking like he had just rushed back from the military camp, and his whole body was full of coldness.

Glancing at Wen Jin, the middle-aged man's expression was gloomy for a moment, his eyes fell on that elegant face, and he felt that he had a face that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

The man suppressed his displeasure, knelt on one knee, and saluted with his sword: "Your Highness, Xiao Chongshan."

"My dear, please stand up."

Xiao Chongshan thanked him, but did not stand up. Instead, he leaned over to confess: "I failed to educate my son, causing my son Jinghan to disregard his status and indulge in wine and women, and did things that were humiliating. I am here to apologize and I am willing to be punished by the emperor!"

Wen Jin glanced at him calmly, with a cold glow on his eyebrows.

The emperor was already furious, and Xiao Chongshan's retreat would only make the emperor even angrier - of course, this anger was not directed at the Xiao family.

It was completely directed at the eldest princess Yan Qing.

"What is General Xiao saying?" The emperor walked around the imperial case and personally helped the general up. "This matter is because Yan Qing handled it improperly. I will give justice to the son-in-law."

Wen Jin lowered his eyes. The new emperor had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. He needed to rely on the Xiao family's military support. It was understandable that he valued the Xiao family, but if he relied on a minister so much and flattered him so much, even disregarding the emperor's majesty, it would be a loss of face for the royal family.

"Wen Qing." The emperor turned his eyes to Wen Jin, "You go to the Princess's Mansion and convey my order to order Yan Qing and Xiao Jinghan to come to the palace immediately."

Wen Jin said, "The Princess may not listen to me."

As everyone knows, the Princess is a star of destiny. After being exiled to Suzaku City, she rarely returned to Beijing. However, in the two months since she came back, she has done many absurd things, and it is common for her to violate the will of the palace.

Moreover, the eight thousand Qilin Guards under the Princess's Mansion are all masters with strong combat effectiveness. If she wants to disobey the will, the emperor can't do anything to her.

Yan Chen said angrily: "You go and pass the order yourself, and tell her that if she dares not to come, I will punish her for contempt of imperial power!"

Wen Jin was silent, a cold and sarcastic look flashed across the corner of his eyes, and then he accepted the order: "Yes."

So this young prime minister with the most beautiful face in the imperial capital, amazing talent, and high power calmly left, turned around and left the imperial study, and went out of the palace to the Princess's Mansion.

General Xiao, who shocked the three armies, and Prime Minister Wen, who had the power in his hands.

If Xiao Chongshan is a general who holds military power and is afraid of holding 200,000 troops, then Wen Jin, the young prime minister, is the highest power minister who can restrain Xiao Chongshan.

Military power mobilization, food and grass allocation, military pay, weapons and armor... Unless the military situation is urgent, Xiao Chongshan can kill first and report later, otherwise all this is decided by Wen Jin.

And how did Wen Jin, a handsome young man who had just come of age, break the court rules and become the powerful Prime Minister within just three years of entering the court...

This process is even more legendary.
