Dai Mengtao swore solemnly: "What the Zhenbei Marquis said is partly true and partly false."

"This spring, the Ministry of War did receive a memorial from the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Ministry of War allocated food and wages immediately. Logically, we should be able to reach the Mobei border this summer. The Ministry of War's account books have all been recorded, and I have never lied."

Dai Mengtao spoke slowly.

After he finished speaking, Lu Mingfeng raised his eyebrows, turned around and looked at Cen Weiwu: "Since the Ministry of War has already allocated food and money, but the Marquis of Zhenbei said that he didn't receive it, I'm afraid that he didn't send it secretly, right?"

Cen Weiwu sneered and turned to look at Lu Mingfeng.

Before he could recover from his shock, a mouthful of spit hit his face: "Lu Mingfeng, what does this have to do with you? Did you see me embezzling the food and money with your own eyes, or did someone whisper it in your ear in the middle of the night? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

Everyone was horrified upon seeing this - now he dared to be rude to the prime minister in the court.

The eunuch beside Ji Xunchuan rushed forward and shouted, "How dare you!"

But before he could utter the next sentence, Ji Xunchuan raised his hand and motioned for him to leave.

"Your Majesty, when I returned to the capital this time, I brought with me the accountant from the Mobei military camp. I brought back all the account books in the military camp and handed them over to the Ministry of Revenue for personal review. If I took anything that did not belong to me, Your Majesty can do whatever you want with it!"

Now that things have come to this, Ji Xunchuan has nothing more to say.

Lu Mingfeng raised his sleeve in disgust and wiped the saliva off his face.

"That's all for today! Adjourn the court!"

Everyone leaned forward, and Ji Xunchuan left with a wave of his sleeves.

"My Lord is so majestic today."

Lu Mingfeng hurried forward with a cane.

Cen Weiwu slowly stopped, turned around and glanced at Lu Mingfeng behind him.

"It's not that impressive, but with Prime Minister Lu as a foil, it's naturally more respectable. After all, who can tolerate others spitting on their face at the age of seventy? Prime Minister Lu's endurance is something I admire!"

Cen Weiwu spoke coldly, his words full of mockery.

"Do you think that you have won just because you spit on me today?" Lu Mingfeng had a decent smile on his face, but he came forward and whispered, "Let me tell you, there is still a long time to come, so let's wait and see."

"Pooh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Weiwu spat again, fiercely onto Lu Mingfeng's face, and then put on a sinister smile: "Just wait and see? Okay, then just wait and see."

After he finished speaking, he left the Tai Chi Hall without looking back.

"Your servant Shen Wantang pays respect to His Highness!"

Shen Wantang hurried forward and knelt down in front of Ji Xunze with a plop.

After several months of treatment, Ji Xunze's complexion improved a lot, and even his body became much stronger. He no longer looked as poor as he did in Nanzhou.

Ji Xunze came forward and helped Shen Wantang up: "No need to be polite."

Cen Xiao said at the side: "No one knows that your highness has come to the capital this time. Now you can only stay in my mansion. If there is anything, just come to my house directly."

As he spoke, he handed over the jade pendant from his waist.

Shen Wantang still didn't care about these things, and quickly said: "Lu Mingfeng, intends to usurp the throne."

After the words were spoken, silence fell in the room.

There was a hint of surprise in Cen Xiao's eyes, and even Ji Xunze, who had tried to remain calm, was startled.

Afterwards, Shen Wantang recounted everything that happened at Lu Mingfeng's house that day.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao clenched his fists and punched the solid wooden table beside him, creating a big hole.

"Lu Mingfeng, that old bastard! When the time comes, I'll kill him first!"

Shen Wantang frowned slightly and coughed twice to signal Cen Xiao.

Ji Xunze could see the relationship between the two and shook his head: "Don't blame him, what he said is just what I think."

"Now, do you have any ideas?"

Ji Xunze looked at Shen Wantang.

He had not been back to the capital for a long time and no longer knew anything about the city. Although he had heard some things at the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, they were naturally not as much as he knew in person.

"Two dogs fight, play off."

Shen Wantang's eyes flashed, and she spoke softly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao suddenly stood up and immediately rejected it: "No!"

"I can't ask you to put yourself in danger!"

After he finished speaking, the embarrassment on Shen Wantang's face became even more intense.

"Now that you are in the middle of their mediation, Lu Mingfeng is capable of doing anything. Do you really think you can get away with it?"

Cen Xiao stepped forward and spoke urgently, no longer caring about Ji Xunze beside him.

Shen Wantang lowered his head and coughed twice, and then he came back to his senses.

"Your Highness, as long as Your Highness gives the order, I will do it without hesitation!"

Shen Wantang's eyes were firm.

Ji Xunze frowned, looked at Cen Xiao on the left, then looked at Shen Wantang on the right, but still said nothing: "Shen Wantang, are you willing to keep an eye on every move of the Lu Mansion for me?"

Shen Wantang nodded repeatedly.

"The remaining matters still need to be discussed carefully. Come here tonight and we will plan our big things together." Ji Xunze said.

After giving instructions, Shen Wantang turned and left.

When she left, Cen Xiao hurriedly caught up with her.

"Shen Wantang..." Cen Xiao's eyes were tense, and the longing for her that he hadn't seen for a few days flowed in his eyes.

But Shen Wantang's eyes were really hard to read. He stared at him and said coldly, "Do you know that the few words you just said will ruin your future!"

"If the great event is accomplished, you will be the eldest prince's right-hand man. If His Highness knew that you had abandoned the overall situation because of a little love, do you know how serious this matter is!"

There was no one around, and Shen Wantang spoke in a resentful tone, even raising her fist and hitting Cen Xiao hard.

He was not discouraged, and a silly smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This smile made Shen Wantang a little at a loss: "What are you laughing at?"

"I like the way you are, the way you are worried about me." Cen Xiao has already put those important things behind him.

General Cen Xiao, who was once mighty and unyielding and won every battle on the battlefield, has now turned into a foolish man.

Shen Wantang frowned, she really couldn't understand what the man in front of her was thinking.

"you……"

"I'll wait for you here tonight. The wine shop on South Street has just brewed some plum wine. How about drinking some of this plum wine in the capital that you haven't been able to drink in Jiangzhou?"

Cen Xiao ignored Shen Wantang and just spoke.

Shen Wantang ignored him, turned around and left in a huff.

But at the original place, only Cen Xiao was looking at her back, with the smile on his face that lasted for a long time.

"Sir, I think what Miss Shen said just now does make sense. You'd better listen to it." Pei Qing slowly appeared from the side and began to persuade.

"What do you know?"
