Chen Jin's eyes cautiously fell on the blood deer for a moment, and soon he bowed and cupped his hands as usual, and said carefully: "Thank you for the seat, Your Majesty, but this servant came today with good news, and I didn't have time to report it to Your Majesty. Ming, don’t dare to sit down rashly.”
"Oh? Now that the situation has been the same for a hundred days, what other good news can there be? Come and hear it."
"Yes." Chen Jin responded, putting on a happy look on his face, hiding a trace of worry in his heart, and his voice was also a little joyful, "That's right, Your Majesty didn't ask the servant to remind Xiao Chen before he left the palace. Tell him not to act recklessly."
"I guess Xiao Chen took this matter as a metaphor, so when something happened, he immediately sent a message to the slave."
"This is the letter from Xiao Chen that I received last night. Your Majesty, please read it."
Chen Jin did not dare to hide it, so she took out the letter Xiao Chen wrote to herself and presented it to the emperor with both hands.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was very measured and did not write any words of loyalty to Eunuch Chen on it. He just described truthfully what happened in Jingnan Academy and said that he should take action because the other party was disrespectful to His Majesty.
Chu Yanwu waved his hand and naturally didn't bother to look. He just stared at the dying blood deer and casually ordered, "What happened, just tell me the truth."
"Hmph, Xiao Chen, that bitch slave, caused a lot of trouble in Dali Temple. What trouble did he bring to me? A happy event? But I don't believe it anymore."
Chen Jin hurriedly cupped his hands and said carefully: "It does sound like a big mess, but if you think about it carefully, it turns out to be a wonderful thing that will draw out the firepower!"
"I will tell you what I'm going to say to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty thinks something is wrong, then I'm stupid. I'll immediately order the troublemaker to be taken back to the capital!"
Chu Yanwu waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking and speak quickly.
Immediately, he focused on a piece of deer meat and cut it with a precise knife. The deer flopped twice with difficulty in pain and was dying.
Chu Yanwu casually threw the venison on the gold plate, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his hands elegantly. While watching the bloody venison shrinking into a ball on the gold plate and gradually being cooked, he listened to the story. Jin’s report.
Chen Jin finished what Xiao Chen said in the letter, and at the same time bowed and cupped his hands, and continued carefully: "I privately believe that what Xiao Chen did this time has three benefits. First, those academies are full of prime ministers. disciples, now that Xiao Chen has destroyed these academies, it is equivalent to cutting off the Zhou family’s way of giving gifts to future generations, and it is equivalent to cutting off Zhou Tianfu’s rear food and grass."
"Second, I don't know whether Xiao Chen intends to take advantage of power for personal gain, but the cause of this incident is indeed because the people in the academy disrespect the imperial envoy. The more Xiao Chen makes a big fuss about this matter, the more likely he will become. To be able to show that these people in the academy have offended Your Majesty can be considered as shocking the mountain."
"From now on, let's see if those disciples of Zhou Mansion still dare to boast that they only recognize the Prime Minister and not the King."
"Three things, Xiao Chen immediately revised the book and gave it to the slave on the night of the incident. It can be seen that he was clearly eager to claim credit from His Majesty. This person has no ambitions and flaunts his power just to please Your Majesty, so he can use it more safely."
After saying that, Chen Jin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed twice nervously and fearfully, "Damn it, slave! I was thinking about defeating the Zhou family for a moment, but I was so happy that I lost my sense of proportion!"
"Your Majesty, you can see thousands of miles away. Naturally, you can see everything clearly. How can you allow a slave to work here?"
Chu Yanwu snorted coldly, just as the meat on the golden plate was roasted, he cut a piece with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it for a long time with deep eyes, naturally weighing Chen Jin's words secretly.
Suddenly, Chu Yanwu swallowed this mouthful of fresh meat, slapped the golden plate with the hand holding the sharp dagger, and said happily: "Okay!"
"Good kill!"
There was a bloodthirsty joy in his eyes that had never been shown in front of others for a moment, and he couldn't help but said happily: "Xiao Chen did a great job in this battle, killing three birds with one stone, look at what that old man Zhou Tianfu should do!"
"Chen Jin, you have trained me well. Come, I will reward you."
As Chu Yanwu spoke, he stabbed a piece of meat with a knife and threw it to Chen Jin. A feeling of killing filled the deep eyes of the dragon.
Chen Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and picked it up with both hands with a smile.
Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly heard a call outside the door, "The Prime Minister wants to see you..."
Before the imperial guard finished speaking, he heard Zhou Tianfu personally shouting: "Your Majesty, my old minister Zhou Tianfu has something important to ask for, and I hope your Majesty will grant you permission to see me!"
Chu Yanwu's eyes suddenly darkened, and all the cheerfulness just now was gone, leaving only a flash of strong hatred.
Chen Jin assessed the situation and hurriedly said: "Today is a holiday, and your Majesty's Nourishing Heart Hall should be used for no other purpose than to take a bath and rest."
"It is extremely rude for the Prime Minister to come and ask for an audience without knowing the proper rules. I just don't know if there are really important things on the Prime Minister's side?"
"Why don't you let the servants go out and invite the Prime Minister to the imperial study first? If your Majesty still has the energy to ask questions after taking a bath, it won't be too late to see him again."
Chu Yanwu glanced at Chen Jin with satisfaction, and couldn't help but throw the dagger in his hand angrily. Feeling unlucky that his interest was completely disturbed by Zhou Tianfu, he waved his hand, "I'll do as you say."
Outside the Yangxin Hall, Zhou Tianfu suppressed his anger. After listening to Chen Jin's words, he couldn't help but look inside the hall. But after all, he couldn't clearly disobey the emperor's arrangement, so he could only look at Chen Jin with a cold snort. He fluttered his sleeves and went to the imperial study.
About half an hour later, Chu Yanwu arrived late. When he saw Zhou Tianfu, he asked with a smile: "My dear, I am coming to the palace on holiday. I wonder what is important?"
Zhou Tianfu cupped his hands and said with a stern face: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have just received a report from the state capital, saying that Governor Xiao of Dongchang went on a killing spree in Jiangdong Road Academy. He not only chopped off the hands and feet of several number one scholars, but also Planting these people in the ground, watering and fertilizing them, it is extremely humiliating!”
"Your Majesty, the academy is the foundation of talents in our dynasty. Xiao Chen must be severely punished for his trip!"
"If not, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of many students!"
Chu Yanwu kept his secret and looked at Zhou Tianfu with a serious look for a while, then asked slowly: "Then I don't know, how should I deal with it according to the Prime Minister's wishes?"
Zhou Tianfu frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at Chen Jin.
The emperor was so clear and unsurprised. Could it be that someone had reported this matter long ago?
And if this person confuses right and wrong in advance and provides Chu Yanwu with some excuses, then his trip today will probably be unfavorable.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and Zhou Tianfu became more determined. He bowed and replied respectfully, but his voice couldn't help but reveal a hint of deep meaning, "Your Majesty, I think that Xiao Chen's trip to cause trouble in Chu is disrespectful to Your Majesty. "
"This person should be killed!"
