Lu Xinzhong held a broom in his hand and swept quietly beside the bed. The windows and doors around him were closed tightly to prevent any breeze.
Suddenly, a ray of white light came from outside the cramped wooden door, shining right into his wide eyes.
"Mr. Shen!" Lu Xinzhong put down his broom and nodded and bowed to Shen Jing who was standing opposite.
"What's your intention in asking those people to greet me?" Shen Jing lowered his head and dusted his clothes and asked calmly.
"Nothing else, it's just..." Lu Xinzhong raised his eyes timidly, "I'm just worried about Master's future and fate, and I'm looking forward to your safe return."
Shen Jing snorted: "I'm only here to declare the imperial edict, so what's the danger?"
While pouring tea for him, Lu Xinzhong said slowly: "Yan Wen's administration was too urgent. As for the courtiers, everyone was in danger and the discussion was boiling. Although the emperor issued a decree today and supported the new policy, people's hearts will not be able to bear it after all. Calm down, if Yan Wen is impeached and dismissed as prime minister, and the emperor cannot regret the decree, where will the responsibility fall? Needless to say, our Ministry of Internal Affairs must bear the brunt. Those people will push you out as the one who announced the decree and replace the emperor. Block the knife. When I think about that, I worry about Master from the bottom of my heart, fearing that you will suffer this unjust injustice."
Shen Jing still disagreed and said with a smile: "We are the eunuch in charge of the Emperor's confidants. Do people outside dare to get involved with me?"
"If the emperor's favor was extremely great in the day of peace, they would never dare to touch a hair of our internal officials; but now it is Prime Minister Liu..." He suddenly tightened his mouth and pointed to the top of his head, "He is here It's in charge from above. The ministers will not dare to challenge Liu Xiang, and the emperor occupies the title of emperor. Down the hierarchy, wouldn't it be best to offend the chief minister?"
Shen Jing's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "That's true."
"General Manager," Lu Xinzhong knelt down carefully and held up his hands to advise, "I think the only way to do this is to have both sides and everything will be fine!"
"But we are all the emperor's slaves, how can we do this!" Shen Jing frowned.
"So you need to find the right person, such as...the prince."
"Say." After hearing this, Shen Jing guessed a bit of the meaning and hurriedly urged him to say.
"The prince is the heir of this dynasty, so there is no harm in having a little friendship with him. The chief manager can send someone to the East Palace to persuade him to take action against Yan Wen with gentle words. His Highness has always been at odds with Liu Zhennian, so he will accept us again Such instigation must be impeached at the first opportunity. If the New Deal is abolished, we will be considered as having played a part in it, and we will naturally be guilty of merit. If the New Deal is still implemented and everyone stands still, this matter will not be discovered. This plan You can advance or retreat, please think about it carefully.”
"You are a smart kid," Shen Jing laughed, "You said all these things clearly and clearly, you are very capable! It really made me realize!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Chief Manager. I just know some evil ways. I don't have any abilities..." He shrank down to the ground and said with the utmost flattery.
"It's a pity," Shen Jing stood up again and sighed, "A capable person like you was assigned to do odd jobs... I don't know how many talented people were buried like this! I don't have anyone under my command, so I don't know who to call. !”
Lu Xinzhong blinked his eyes and said quickly: "This matter is all at the discretion of the manager!"
Shen Jing said, "I have no plan, and I just want to hear your opinion."
Lu Xinzhong's throat suddenly tightened, he swallowed a sip of saliva, and immediately replied: "I think that for such a big matter, it would be more convincing to send a father-in-law in charge to see the prince."
Shen Jing listened to his several words and seemed to not want to go on this errand, so he said: "Let me tell you to be honest, those people in charge are all people who are just sitting on the corpse. I usually don't count on them. How can I entrust you with big things at this time?" ? How about you recommend a eunuch who has a humble position but a thoughtful mind? If he can really achieve great achievements, I will report this person to the emperor to show his achievements. In this way, I can also satisfy my desire for talents. ”
When Lu Xinzhong heard that he was going to report to the emperor, he was quite surprised. He thought to himself: 'If I just let others go to heaven in one step, what else will the chief executive do to keep me? He didn't care about anything else, he just kowtowed hurriedly and heard a "bang" sound, which was very clear.
"General Manager, I understand your sincerity, but the burden now is too big, and ordinary people who are ignorant will definitely not be able to take it. It is better to let the villain take this trip, and he will return smoothly!"
Shen Jing was overjoyed, turned around, and patted him on the shoulder hard, shocking him: "Okay! Xinzhong is worthy of being taught by me, he has courage! Don't worry, I will pick you up when I come back." And I will recommend it to His Majesty to ensure your promotion."
After Lu Xinzhong heard this, he instantly wiped away the panic he had just felt, and his mind was filled with the desire for rewards: "The villain takes the order!"
Along the way, Niu Yuan kept stroking the memorial in his hand. The more panic he felt, the faster his pace became. In less than a moment, he arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he did not go in. He stared at the door, looking at the bare willow tree in the inner courtyard, feeling uneasy.
"You are the Prime Minister, right? You want to go in to find the Prime Minister? Why, do you need a villain to lead the way?" A civil servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion happened to be passing by and asked in surprise when he saw that he was not moving.
"Oh," Niu Yuan panicked and even bowed deeply to the clerk, "No, no need..."
"Sir, what are you doing?" The clerk's face turned pale with fright, "I will never tolerate this!"
Only then did Niu Yuan react, and he could only force a smile and said: "It's okay, you guys work very hard on weekdays, how can you not bear it! Say no more, I will enter the house right now." After that, he walked straight into the house without waiting for a response.
Liu Zhennian was indeed still sitting under the willow tree from before. The old wicker chair under him was still there, and it had not even been replaced in more than ten years. The squeaking sound was getting louder and louder, enough to make people tremble, as if it would fall apart in the next moment. But Liu Zhennian slept soundly, as if he was not disturbed at all.
"Mr. Liu," Niu Yuan stood up straight in front of him, with a serious face and bowed to each other.
Liu Zhennian's ears were still clear. Hearing the call, he opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Niu Yuan coldly.
"What's the matter?" His tone was complaining, "Why do you people keep calling me when I'm asleep lately? It makes you so upset."
"This is my fault, please forgive me. But this is an urgent matter, and I have to disturb your rest." Niu Yuan tucked the memorial and bowed.
"Now that we have finished talking about everything, what else is urgent?" Liu Zhennian asked, "Isn't it still related to Yan Wen?"
"You have a brilliant plan. I am here just for Yan Wen." With that said, Niu Yuan took a step forward and handed over the impeachment memorial.
