In the case of Jiazhou County, Chen Jue did not dare to be careless.
After discussing with the left and right prime ministers and several ministers, they quickly sent people to Jiazhou County to investigate the case.
As for the candidate to go, Chen Jue was afraid that the imperial family would collude with Jiazhou County, so he thought about it and decided to let Zhou Pei go.
Zhou Pei burst into tears after hearing that he still let himself go.
He finally came back from Jiazhou County and had to go back again before he even had a day's rest. Why did he bother?
Zhou Pei cried. He originally wanted to go to the palace again to ask His Majesty to take back his orders, but he was unable to take on this task.
Originally, as a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, what was he supposed to do to investigate the case?
Isn’t that a matter of the Ministry of Justice?
As a result, before he went out, he heard that someone was coming to the palace.
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "Zhou Shangshu, His Majesty knows that you are leaving for Jiazhou County today, so he specially asked me to see you off. It's time to go!"
Zhou Pei: "..." I don't really want to go!
When Zhou Pei went to Jiazhou County, Chen Jue sent someone to invite the Taifu into the palace.
"Your Majesty wants me to go to Jiazhou County?" Wang Yuanqi heard His Majesty mention Jiazhou County and quickly guessed it.
"Yeah!" Chen Jue nodded.
Facing Wang Yuanqi's puzzled look, he stood up and walked down, saying, "Zhou Pei was used by me to confuse the court, Jiazhou County and King Chai on the surface."
After saying this, Wang Yuanqi also understood.
Your Majesty is afraid that someone from the imperial court will collude with Jiazhou County.
If this is the case, even if Zhou Pei goes there after alerting the enemy, nothing will be found.
"The reason why Zhou Pei was asked to go to Jiazhou County is because he has already been there once and is familiar with Jiazhou County, and at the same time, he also asked Jiazhou County to let go.
He might not be able to find anything, and he might even lose his life in Jiazhou County. "
Chen Jue personally handed him the imperial edict that he had already written, "I trust you, the Wang family, and I hope Wang Qing will not betray my trust!"
Wang Yuanqi raised his head in shock and was slightly shocked when he met Chen Jue's trusting eyes.
There was also a little excitement.
This is the first time that His Majesty has entrusted him with such an important matter since he showed his loyalty to His Majesty.
Although the Wang family has a rule that the head of the Wang family cannot interfere in court affairs, he does not want to be bound by this rule.
"My lord, take the order!"
Wang Yuanqi knelt down excitedly to receive the order with both hands, and said: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
After saying that, Wang Yuanqi secretly decided that when he arrived in Jiazhou County this time, he must find out!
"Well, get up!" Chen Jue nodded.
Then he ordered: "Zhou Pei has already set off. After you return, you will set off tonight.
In order not to let others know that you went to Jiazhou County, I will inform the outside world that you stay in the palace and teach me to study. "
Just at this time, Liu Zhong came back, "Your Majesty, the concubine's chariot is already waiting outside."
"Let's go!" Chen Jue nodded and saw that it was getting late, so he walked out.
Wang Yuanqi, who was following behind, was suddenly stopped by Liu Zhong with his hand, "Master Wang, please follow me this way."
Wang Yuanqi looked confused. He looked at His Majesty in front of him and then at Liu Zhong. There was a palace maid behind Liu Zhong.
Finally, he followed Liu Zhong into a room.
When he came out of the room again, he was wearing the clothes of a palace maid.
This was the first time to wear women's clothes, and Wang Yuanqi felt extremely uncomfortable.
But before he could get used to it, Liu Zhong thrust a food box into his hand.
He urged: "Hurry up, your Majesty and the imperial concubine are still waiting!"
Wearing this outfit and thinking of what His Majesty said before, Wang Yuanqi probably understood what was going on now.
He didn't waste any time, took his things and quickly kept up with Liu Zhong's pace.
Halfway through, Liu Zhong glanced at the palace maid behind him.
Seeing him walking with long strides, he was afraid that the other person might not hold the food box firmly.
While cursing and pinching, he said, "Hold the things in your hands securely. These are the snacks that His Majesty specially ordered the Imperial Kitchen to make for the Imperial Concubine."
"Yes." Wang Yuanqi lowered his head and responded in a low voice.
Outside the palace gate.
When Liu Zhong and the others arrived, Chen Jue was holding Concubine Jiang's hand and giving instructions carefully.
"When leaving the palace this time, my beloved concubine is extremely careful and must keep someone by her side."
"I know, I know~" Feeling His Majesty's reluctance for her, Jiang Rou felt very happy.
She smiled and said: "I just went to Huang'an Temple to worship my mother and light a bright lamp for my mother. Nothing will happen to her, so don't worry, Your Majesty!"
"You!" Chen Jue shook his head fondly, "It's better to be careful."
As he said that, he caught a glimpse of the palace maid behind Liu Zhong and waved.
He picked up the food box and said, "This is your favorite snack that I asked the imperial kitchen to make specially for you. Bring it with you."
As soon as Chen Jue finished speaking, Jiang Rou's eyes fell on the food box.
Hearing that it was His Majesty's special order, Jiang Rou's eyes lit up, and the smile in her eyes almost overflowed.
