This was indeed beyond Xiao Chen's expectation.
"Eunuch Chen means that the matter of enclosing land was entrusted to you by His Majesty?"
You know, equal distribution of land is a regulation stipulated by the state.
As the king of a country, Chu Yanwu actually let his personal eunuch know the law and break the law and do things for him.
It’s simply unreasonable!
Besides, why do it?
Whether it was shock or confusion, it was written directly on Xiao Chen's face, waiting for the other party's answer.
Chen Jin was extraordinarily sensible today and said exactly what he should say: "The enclosure of land is also for the good of the court. Your Majesty just wants to make the internal funds more abundant."
"Think about it, the treasury belongs to the entire country, and any misappropriation of money must be reported to the Ministry of Accounts."
"If your Majesty wants someone to do something, does that mean you have to use your own money?"
“If you don’t have money, naturally you have to find a way to make money!”
Xiao Chen was also speechless. Since you have no money, why would you drink the blood of the people and eat their flesh?
As the king of a country, shouldn’t it be for the benefit of the people? Does he seem like something a king of a country can do?
If he hadn't had a good psychological quality, he would probably have yelled at Chen Jin.
It's no wonder that even in the court, even when faced with Zhang Dongyang's accusation, Chu Yanwu directly avoided the easy matter and resolved the matter for Chen Jin.
It turns out he was the mastermind behind everything!
If something happens to Chen Jin, who will do the dirty things for him?
Knowing the truth of the matter, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that Zhang Dongyang's persistence was meaningful.
I also understood why a person like Zhang Dongyang, who values integrity, could not be reused by Chu Yanwu?
That's because such an upright person couldn't help him write those shameless things, so the position of prime minister was divided into two.
Without affecting public expectations, it also successfully weakened Zhang Dongyang's ability to take the position of prime minister.
Chu Yanwu is so scheming!
He looked at Chen Jin, who looked sad, and was slightly curious: "Eunuch Chen, these things should be considered confidential, right?"
"Is it inappropriate for you to tell me everything, or...is this just a foreshadowing?"
The reason he said these words was to prepare for another purpose!
"Supervisor Xiao is still as smart as ever. To be honest, Zhang Dongyang pursues the matter more and more closely, and the trouble becomes bigger and bigger."
"If this matter remains unresolved, I'm afraid the court will be in chaos if this matter continues to be investigated."
What do you think, if Chu Yanwu is accidentally traced, how will this matter end?
Xiao Chen also understood the profound meaning. Since it was related to Chu Yanwu, it should not be underestimated.
But, what are you doing here to look for him, you guys?
Could it be that you want him to take the blame?
Xiao Chen was in a state of confusion, but on the surface he had to smile to please him: "So what can I do?"
"Master Xiao is so humble. As I said before, the affairs of the eunuchs are under the supervision of the eunuchs."
"You are the governor of the East Factory. It is most appropriate and reassuring for you to take charge of this matter."
He turned slightly sideways and raised the corners of his mouth suggestively: "This is not my idea, but His Majesty's. You will not live up to his trust and expectations, right?"
What he said was tactful enough, but it sounded more straightforward to Xiao Chen's ears.
Dongchang is a place that does things for the emperor. No matter whether it is right or wrong, the final result can only be beneficial to the emperor!
So whether it was Chen Jin or Chu Yanwu, they only thought of Xiao Chen from Chengguan Dongchang.
These two guys are just poking trouble and cleaning up the mess, but they have to ask him to personally come forward to offend people. They are really good at playing!
"Why doesn't Governor Xiao say anything? But do you think it's very difficult?"
Even a moment's hesitation made Chen Jin's face a little more unhappy.
This was for the Emperor, so there was no room for hesitation or ambiguity on his part?
Don’t forget, the emperor is his king and he is his minister!
I have said so much, and my kind words are not to beg him, but to convey the emperor's order!
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Chen chuckled: "Eunuch Chen is really good at joking. It's natural for me to be in this position and serve the emperor, so how can I feel embarrassed?"
"I was just thinking about how to handle this matter in the safest way."
After saying this, Chen Jin showed a satisfied smile and said, "In that case, I will leave this matter to Governor Xiao."
"It doesn't matter how the process is, as long as the ending can win the hearts of the people."
He shook the water off his feet and put on his shoes.
After the foot bath and massage just now, the acupuncture points on his feet penetrated the whole body. Now he seemed to have had his meridians opened up, and his whole body looked refreshed.
He shook his body and said, "Master Xiao, thank you for the foot bath today. I will take my leave now."
After Chen Jin left in a hurry, Xiang Yichun, who had been waiting in the corner, walked out.
As the guard of the entire courtyard, he was everywhere, and what he just said was naturally heard.
With a somersault, Xiang Yichun landed steadily in front of Xiao Chen, "Lord Governor."
"Why, did you hear what you just said?"
Gao Chen looked at him with a smile, his face alone could explain everything.
It is estimated that not only did they hear it, but they were also aggrieved by what Chen Jin and Chu Yanwu did to the people.
Xiang Yichun said without thinking: "I did hear it, but this matter involves too many things. Once you intervene, you will be in a dilemma."
Let's just say that the involvement included the emperor's people, as well as Zhang Dongyang, a minister of the imperial court.
No matter how Xiao Chen tried to solve it, he would always offend people, but it would be a thankless task.
Xiang Yichun was a little indignant, "That Chen Jin clearly wants to push you out to block the knife. It's really too much!"
He could see it, how could Xiao Chen be kept in the dark?
But the other party was pretending to be the emperor, so did he have any room to refuse?
The interests involved are indeed extensive, but the arrow is ready and must be fired.
Xiao Chen sighed softly: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only take one step at a time."
He waved his hand and said, "Go and find out Zhang Dongyang's attitude towards this matter first."
After Xiang Yichun left, Xiao Chen also soaked his feet.
At this time, Ji Hongluan, wearing a simple red dress and a high ponytail, walked in holding two candied haws.
She licked the candied haws of apples freely and casually. Seeing Xiao Chen's sad face, she handed a bunch of candied haws to him and said, "Eat a bunch of candied haws, maybe you will feel better."
Xiao Chen reluctantly took it, but the first bite was sour hawthorn...
"Forget it, today is not a good time for eating, drinking and having fun."
This time, Xiao Chen really had a headache.
Ji Hongluan shook the long knife on her waist, "Tell me, who made you unhappy, I will just kill him!"
