After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

During the days when the emperor was away from the capital, Prime Minister Xun took over the affairs of state.

There were many memorials submitted to the court today, most of which revolved around the Chu family case.

Censor Wang once again single-handedly debated with a group of scholars and achieved an undefeated record.

All the officials were so angry that they left the Golden Palace in a dusty state.

"Too much! How could a woman be granted a title of nobility since ancient times? Lu Yuan disregarded moral principles and acted arbitrarily. Doesn't Censor Wang know etiquette? How did he become a censor?"

"Forget it. Who told us that we can't beat him in scolding?"

"Although Madam Chu suffered an unjust accusation, in my opinion, it is a great favor for the emperor to confer her the title of First-Rank Lady. How dare she dream of becoming a marquis?"

"Let's go, let's go, here comes Censor Wang!"

All the officials returned to their respective offices cursing.

Standing outside the Jinluan Palace, Imperial Censor Wang asked Prime Minister Xun, "Prime Minister, do you also think that women should not be granted the title of nobility?"

Prime Minister Xun smiled, gentle yet dignified as a regent: "Madam Chu has saved the dying and the wounded at the border and made great contributions to the army. Such a remarkable woman should be treated favorably by the court. It is not too much to make an exception and confer a title of nobility."

Censor Wang asked again, "Then why didn't you say a word just now?"

Prime Minister Xun sighed helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to argue for Madam Chu, but the matter of conferring a title of nobility is a serious matter. Everything must wait until Your Majesty returns from the autumn hunt before making a decision."

Censor Wang: Old fox.

Censor Wang has always been objective and never against people. For the time being, there is no evidence against Prime Minister Xun. At most, Censor Wang thinks that Prime Minister Xun is smooth in his dealings, but he cannot say that he dislikes him.

He cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave."

Prime Minister Xun raised his hand politely: "Sir Wang, take care."

It was not until he left the palace and got on the carriage back home that Prime Minister Xun put away the generosity and kindness on his face, and his eyes became deep and unfathomable.

He took out the jade ring from the secret compartment, put it on, and began to close his eyes and rest.

When the carriage was halfway through its journey, a secret guard suddenly boarded the carriage.

"My lord, the Seventh Young Master has arrived with a letter by carrier pigeon."

Prime Minister Xun did not open his eyes, but said calmly: "Speak."

The secret guard said solemnly: "The secret guards sent to hunt down King Miao failed, and no one survived."

The secret guards of the prime minister's residence are different from ordinary guards. Each of them is carefully selected and has undergone rigorous training. They are masters picked from hundreds of thousands.

The loss this time was too heavy.

Prime Minister Xun's reaction was very calm. He just hummed indifferently.

"besides."

The secret guard continued to report, "Luo San has been exposed and is now a hostage of the Governor's Office."

Prime Minister Xun's expression finally changed a little, and his fingertips rubbed the jade ring on his left thumb.

The secret guard said: "The Miao King is full of tricks and his witchcraft is very evil. Do you want to...get rid of Luo San?"

Prime Minister Xun said nothing.

The secret guard was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

As secret guards, he and his companions' mission is to carry out the orders of their lord and to provide advice and suggestions to the lord and his staff.

He knelt on one knee and bowed his head in fear and trepidation: "My subordinate spoke out of turn, please punish me, my lord!"

Prime Minister Xun continued to just turn the jade ring on his thumb without even opening his eyelids.

However, the secret guards have already felt the oppression that is as real as it is.

The lord is a man who has experienced many storms and waves. No matter how big the event is, he has it all under his control and will not bother him for a moment.

But recently, more and more unpleasant things have happened to the lord.

Just yesterday, the Xun family’s ancestral tomb was dug up by the Miao King.

Whose Chaodou is so plain and simple?

Who could have thought of that?

He could sense that his lord was in a bad mood.

Is it really that the feng shui has been destroyed, so bad luck keeps coming?

In fact, there is another piece of bad news, but the secret guard suddenly didn't know whether he should tell it.

While the struggle between heaven and man was going on, the carriage arrived at the prime minister's residence.

As soon as Prime Minister Xun got off the carriage, Madam Wei, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, came towards him crying: "Brother - you have to make the decision for Xuan'er -"

Prime Minister Xun asked, "Didn't Xuan'er go hunting? What trouble did he get into?"

Madam Wei said hurtly, "Brother! What are you talking about? What do you mean Xuan'er is in trouble again? Xuan'er is your nephew! You didn't even ask, but you concluded that he was in trouble? Is there any uncle like you? It is obvious that someone has harmed Xuan'er! My Xuan'er is so miserable - mother is gone - if mother were still alive, how could she let her own grandson be bullied like this - ah - my Xuan'er -"

The Xun family's steward stood at the door with a tingling scalp, and advised Madam Wei, "Auntie, please go into the mansion first, don't stay outside and let others laugh at you."

Madam Wei scolded, "My son has been arrested and thrown into jail. Am I afraid of being laughed at?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Prime Minister Xun and said, "Brother, you are the Prime Minister, and they dare to arrest your nephew. They don't take you seriously!"

"what happened?"

Prime Minister Xun looked at the steward.

The steward said, "I just received news that the prince and the young master were taken back to the capital and locked up in the Ministry of Justice. I just sent someone to inquire about it when you came back."

Prime Minister Xun turned around and frowned at the secret guard following him.

Secret Guard: The third bad news can finally not be escaped.

He gathered himself together and stepped forward to report, "The Crown Prince and his cousin were doing something obscene in the enclosure, and were caught by Princess Wanping and several other daughters. Princess Wanping was furious and had them arrested."

Mrs. Wei screamed: "What kind of obscene act is this? Nonsense - my son is not that kind of person -"

Prime Minister Xun clenched his fists, and his expression, which had never changed for thousands of years, showed a crack: "Block the news!"

"It's too late... Lu Yuan has already spread the news, and -"

The secret guard whispered, "The prince and the young master were escorted back to the capital in a prisoner car... in broad daylight."

This is almost equivalent to parading him through the streets.

In addition, Lu Yuan bribed the beggars in the streets and the storytellers in the major teahouses, and now everyone in the capital knows that Xun Yu is a homosexual and has an affair with his cousin.

The image of a gentleman that he had painstakingly cultivated over the years collapsed overnight.

All of this was witnessed by the secret guards on their way to the palace to find Prime Minister Xun.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide, not to mention that Lu Yuan is behind the scenes fanning the flames.

No matter how high Xun Yu once stood, how miserable he would be if he fell down now.

The secret guard could already imagine that their young master would have a hard time from now on.

The Crown Prince is the lord's only legitimate son. If Censor Wang knew that he had done such an indecent thing, he would definitely report the lord for not educating his son well.

Thinking of Censor Wang's iron mouth, the secret guard felt that his lord might have a hard time in the court.

"what--"

Mrs. Wei could not bear the blow, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Prime Minister Xun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he slammed the stone lion at the door with his palm: "Lu, Yuan!"
