Anyway, Chu Yanwu's handling of this matter calmed everyone down.
Zhou Tianfu also hurriedly flattered, "Your Majesty is wise, this is the right thing to do!"
In fact, this is what Zhou Tianfu thought in his heart.
There is a lot of room for maneuver in these ten days!
Do you really think that Zhou Tianfu has no means?
Ten days were enough for him to find Jiang Rongfeng.
Once this guy dies, the most important witness will be useless.
Those officials from the same faction as him can naturally escape and continue to be used by him.
His wishful thinking came crashing down.
But to be honest, it's not entirely without reason.
Zhou Tianfu has been operating in the court for so many years, and he has sucked blood from the Jiangdong area. He has power, money, and time, and he has also trained a large number of Jianghu killers.
To be honest, if you want to do something, it is easy.
Chu Yanwu looked at Zhou Tianfu, but there was nothing unusual:
"If nothing happens, this matter will be revealed!"
Everyone present definitely had no objections, and they all said in unison:
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhou Tianfu even glanced at Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang proudly.
His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
It is clearly saying that after this matter is completed, Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang will be finished!
However, although Xiao Chen looked pale, he was quite calm in his heart.
It's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth.
And the queen also stood on his side.
The emperor's concubine said that she wanted to see both herself and Zhou Tianfu suffer losses, but now that Zhou Tianfu was powerful, he would not let Zhou Tianfu win this round.
So in the short term, I shouldn't have any problems.
According to Zhang Dongyang, he has now completely declared war on Zhou Tianfu.
Moreover, now that the impeachment of the six ministers was considered a desperate move, he could only make up his mind to cripple Zhou Tianfu in one go.
Chu Yanwu stroked his beard and asked slowly:
"I'm afraid it's been an hour now. My dear friends, what can I say?"
"If you ignore it, then retreat from the court!"
Xiao Chen hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
When Xiao Chen opened his mouth, everyone focused their attention.
Everyone present knew what kind of virtue Xiao Chen had, he was just a mess.
When he opened his mouth, he must be holding back something bad!
Chu Yanwu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked again: "Speak first!"
As soon as Xiao Chen smiled, he coughed violently and looked very weak:
"Your Majesty! In fact, this time I mainly want to ask you to take back the power of governor of the East Factory and let Chen Jin and Eunuch Chen manage it on your behalf!"
After Xiao Chen said this, everyone's expressions changed.
Zhang Dongyang frowned, his heart pounding.
As the governor of the East Factory, Xiao Chen has great power, and the power he holds in his hands is now also an extremely important power.
If he just gave up his power, they would be in trouble if they wanted to bring down Zhou Tianfu.
Zhou Tianfu was a little surprised, but he was also muttering secretly.
Why did Xiao Chen suddenly hand over his power? ,
Is it possible that this kid is really scared?
Even Chen Jin, who was standing next to the dragon chair, frowned.
He showed his kindness to Xiao Chen several times, hoping to win him over to his side.
He and Xiao Chen were on the same side.
Xiao Chen took the initiative to give up his position to him.
It may not be that he wants to delegate power, but he may also have the idea of "retreating in order to advance".
After all, if Dongchang is in his hands, it will probably dispel some people's "evil intentions."
And Chu Yanwu pondered.
He could actually guess what Xiao Chen was thinking.
The Dongchang that Xiao Chen was holding was an extraordinary force. If he continued to hold it, someone might try to burn down the Dongchang again to weaken his power.
Handing over Dongchang to Chen Jin actually means handing over the decision-making power to yourself.
After all, everyone knows that Chen Jin is his confidant.
It's like saying to yourself:
'Your Majesty, the East Factory has been handed over to Chen Jin. Whether I live or die depends on your thoughts! '
Xiao Chen was also observing Chu Yanwu's expression.
This step of his was quite bold.
But he felt that Chu Yanwu wouldn't be that stupid.
As expected, Chu Yanwu slowly said: "Okay, Xiao Chen, you have a good rest first, and the East Factory will be temporarily managed by Daban!"
Chu Yanwu naturally would not let Xiao Chen die.
Although this guy is sometimes not very useful, after all, everything he does is good for himself.
If Xiao Chen died at the hands of Zhou Tianfu, then there would really be no one left for him.
Chu Yanwu agreed, and all the civil and military officials present felt mixed emotions.
Some people who can see clearly understand Xiao Chen's thoughts.
But they didn't know the relationship between Xiao Chen and Chen Jin, and they were worried.
As for Zhou Tianfu, he was pounding in his heart and turned his attention to Xiao Chen, observing Xiao Chen's expression.
But after Zhou Tianfu watched for a long time, he couldn't see any obvious emotions on Xiao Chen's face.
What the hell is he up to?
Zhou Tianfu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly had an uneasy thought in his heart.
Xiao Chen maintained a natural expression and breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yanwu was by no means a fool and could understand his subtext.
He agreed, and specifically stated "for the time being", which was actually secretly supporting himself.
But how long this "temporary" will last, Xiao Chen feels that it still depends on his own performance.
But it's good to have hope.
Afterwards, several ministers reported some innocuous matters to him. After Chu Yanwu simply dealt with them, he went to court.
After everyone left Jinluan Hall, Xiao Chen also planned to go back and have a good rest.
But at this moment, Zhou Tianfu's voice suddenly came from behind:
"Director Xiao, please stay!"
Xiao Chen turned around and took a look.
This guy Zhou Tianfu looked a little ugly.
Xiao Chen smiled: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
"But I have to remind you, Prime Minister, that now I am no longer the governor of Dongchang. Just call me Eunuch Xiao!"
"It does not matter!"
Zhou Tianfu shook his head, with a cold look in his eyes: "You gave the East Factory to Chen Jin to manage earlier, but you actually wanted to preserve the East Factory, right?"
He didn't explicitly say that Xiao Chen was afraid of him or anything.
But the temptation is also obvious.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is asking a strange question!"
Zhou Tianfu sighed and said: "Although I am the Prime Minister of Chu, I am not of the same faction as Dongchang, and sometimes I am even held hostage by Dongchang!"
"But after all, this is His Majesty's supervisory agency. It carries out His Majesty's will. Naturally, we don't want it to cause problems!"
Xiao Chen chuckled: "Ah, yes, yes, the Prime Minister is right!"
Xiao Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
Zhou Tianfu frowned: "Do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows: "I'm telling you, Prime Minister, what you say is really interesting. Dongchang is indeed being spied on now, and the previous fire is even more proof! But what does this matter have to do with you?"
"You are just like a dog trying to meddle in other people's business!"
