In the imperial study room, Chu Yanwu, who had just left the court, was furious. He waved his hand and shook off Chen Jin, who was about to help him change clothes, and walked to the desk with heavy steps.
Seeing this, Chen Jin hurriedly winked at the people present and turned away everyone.
Chu Yanwu stared at the memorial on the desk with gloomy eyes. The emperor's sinister fervor and fierceness filled his eyes, "Xiao Chen is so brave now! He actually dares to make an article under my nose."
"Unexpectedly, both Zhou Tianfu and Zhang Dongyang have become pawns in the hands of his Governor Xiao."
"He is going to rebel!"
Chen Jin was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Calm down your anger? When Xiao Chen concealed it from me, did he ever think about asking me to calm down my anger?"
"I think he is really ambitious and tired of living!"
Chu Yanwu angrily slapped his palm on the royal writing desk, and the stone inkstone of Wanli Jiangshan shook with a bang. The green ink of Huai River splashed all over, staining the memorial and staining the mahogany floor, which was extremely dazzling.
Suddenly, a suppressed and sarcastic sneer escaped from the corner of Chu Yanwu's lips, "It's really interesting. Nowadays, everyone wants to get a piece of my country."
"Even this mere ink dares to stain the Long Case!"
"His Majesty!"
Chen Jin cried out in pain, with extreme heartache and tears streaming down his face, "You must take care of your dragon body, Your Majesty!"
The other palace people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Everyone outside the royal study room was afraid to express their anger and pressed their foreheads to the ground, hoping to survive.
The anger on Chu Yanwu's face did not recede, and the crown on his head blocked his vision. As the anger wavered, it seemed that someone was trying to take it away by force.
"They all covet this position!"
"I have managed to maintain a balance with the Zhou family all these years, but it was all destroyed by Xiao Chen!"
"The arrow has not yet been cocked, but he wants to force me to declare war. It is really unreasonable!"
The emperor's sullen anger was overwhelming and fierce, and Long's majestic face was filled with the ultimate anger that was deeply restrained.
Suddenly, a message from the young eunuch came through the outer door, "Your Majesty, Governor Xiao wants to see you."
"not see!"
Chu Yanwu shouted angrily, his suppressed anger like the roaring waves of the sea silently in the middle of the night, "Sooner or later, I'm going to kill this bastard who works both ways, sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down... The dragon body is important, Your Majesty..." Chen Jin cried and kowtowed his head.
Chu Yanwu took a few deep breaths and stared intently at the flying dragon on the golden plaque "Eternity" above his head. After a while, he was able to calm down the humiliating anger.
Seeing this, Chen Jin hurriedly climbed all the way behind Chu Yanwu and whispered carefully, "Your Majesty, this servant has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"you say."
Chu Yanwu said deeply, rubbed his eyebrows, and motioned for Chen Jin to help him change clothes.
Chen Jin quickly agreed, wiped his tears and stood up, respectfully took off his court clothes for the emperor, and said cautiously: "Actually, your majesty arranged for Xiao Chen to go to Dongchang because you wanted to use him as a sword and axe."
Chu Yanwu snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to put on his regular clothes tiredly, frowned and said: "But this sword and ax seems to be useless now, how dare you hack it without telling me."
"In my humble opinion, I actually think that Xiao Chen did this. If you think about it carefully, it might be a good thing for your majesty's grand plan..."
Chen Jin carefully considered his words and respectfully served Chu Yanwu tea with both hands on the ground, "Young man, you are reckless, a little too reckless, but your merits outweigh your faults."
"Oh?" Chu Yan Wulong raised his eyes slightly, and finally felt that it was interesting, so he accepted the tea ceremony, "Tell me, where is the gong? What is the good point?"
Chen Jin hurriedly bent down and cupped his hands, and said thoughtfully and cautiously: "In fact, your Majesty has already thought of this humble opinion of a slave. Is this a test for a slave?"
"Look, Your Majesty, the main reason why you don't move Zhou Tianfu is because you don't want to force him to rebel when the time is not ripe. But if we think about it carefully, what Xiao Chen did this time did not involve Prime Minister Zhou explicitly."
Chu Yanwu frowned slightly, with a hint of consideration in his eyes, and raised his hand slightly, "You continue."
"Yes," Chen Jin continued to say humbly, "I think that this time Xiao Chen not only removed all the hidden dangers in the household department for Your Majesty, but also completely removed you and this matter."
"Don't say that Zhou Tianfu doesn't dare to rebel now. Even if he really wants to rebel, he can't find a reason to break up with him."
"Xiao Chen is investigating corruption secretly, and you don't know about it at all. Before the evidence is presented to the court, it is Xiao Chen who wants to investigate him, not you. What can he do? He can only bear it with anger. That’s all, I’m afraid I’ll be so angry at home that I bang my head against the wall!”
Chu Yanwu was amused by him and smiled, and finally there was a relaxed look on his face. Gungun Longwei was also tolerant, "You are right, this Xiao Chen is indeed a little conceited, but the result is indeed good. of."
"In that case, let him come in."
Xiao Chen was waiting outside the door of the imperial study room, keeping his hands bowed and bowing respectfully, maintaining this posture of asking for permission and not daring to neglect.
Seeing the maids and eunuchs kneeling on the floor in the outer hall of the royal study, Xiao Chen already guessed that Chu Yanwu would be furious. To be honest, he was also feeling uneasy at this time.
As long as he is allowed to see Chu Yanwu, he will be able to turn things around, but looking at the current situation, he doesn't know how long it will take.
Just when I was feeling anxious, I saw Chen Jin walking out with a fly whisk in the air and said sharply, "Xuan..."
Xiao Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately recalled the pitiful appearance of his loyal confession, and entered the inner hall of the imperial study with a wrinkled face and slightly red eyes.
"Your Majesty, this slave is guilty. I should not hide it from Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
"This slave is willing to accept any punishment!"
Xiao Chen knelt down, choked with sobs, and kowtowed repeatedly, feeling vaguely a little aggrieved.
Chu Yanwu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see through his little trick, and said in a deep voice, "Are you really willing to accept the punishment? Or do you want to make me soft-hearted first, and then make a eloquent excuse?"
Xiao Chen put his forehead to the ground and said secretly, "Are you trying to block my way?"
Xiao Chen kowtowed a few more times, obediently and admiringly, "Your Majesty, everything can't escape your eyes. It's just that my explanation is true, and that I want to receive the punishment. As long as your majesty calms down." Son!"
Chu Yanwu snorted coldly, with a majestic displeasure, "I still need you to explain? How can you make me angry?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Chen nodded like a fool, but his voice became more relaxed, "It's all the fault of the slaves. It's all the slaves who are stupid and didn't report to Your Majesty in advance!"
"Slave's mouth!"
As he said that, Xiao Chen slapped himself twice hard.
Chu Yanwu waved his hand, and his majestic voice finally had some soothing meaning, "Okay, this time I will spare you, this slave dog."
"But next time, if you don't communicate with me in advance, I will chop off your head!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I promise I will never dare to do it again!" Xiao Chen smiled happily and kowtowed twice.
Chu Yanwu snorted coldly and waved his hand to let him back down.
After walking out of the imperial study room, Xiao Chen rubbed his face and couldn't help but grin, it hurt.
At this moment, a figure walked behind him.
Xiao Chen looked at the only skirt in the palace with a silver python fluttering, and hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Prince."
Chen Jin smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and lowered his voice, "Has Governor Xiao been waiting outside for a long time? His Majesty is angry, so the Za family must give him some more persuasion."
How could Xiao Chen not understand what he meant? He immediately bowed and held his hands in gratitude, "The eunuch saved his subordinates from fire and water. Such a great kindness will be remembered by my subordinates!"
Chen Jin casually helped him up, with a friendly and meaningful smile on his face, "There is no need to be polite, Governor Xiao. You and I are both internal prisoners and we are all one family."
