On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Your Majesty! Nowadays, a play is circulating in all the restaurants and teahouses in the capital." Cen Xiao put the court board in his hand on his waist and raised his head to speak, "It is said that there is a man in Nanzhou whose family has been doing business for generations, but this man wants to enter the court as an official."

"But this man has been taking the imperial examinations for decades but has not made any progress. He wanted to give up, but then another piece of news came from the capital to Nanzhou - now the emperor is recruiting talents from all over the world. If there are people who have talents but cannot pass the imperial examinations, there is still a way to take up the position, which is to be appointed as an official."

As soon as he finished speaking, half of the officials in the court lowered their heads.

Cen Xiao turned around and looked around, then his eyes fell on the trembling man beside him: "I wonder if this gentleman is an official?"

After he finished speaking, the man shook three times and gasped for breath. I'm afraid he will faint in the next second.

"I...I..." The man frowned, but still couldn't say anything.

"My dear, you said you are the Minister of the Imperial Clan, but if you really hold such a high position, you shouldn't be so courageous. You are so timid and cowardly. You really bring shame to the royal family."

Cen Xiao clicked his tongue twice and looked at the man in front of him with a mocking tone.

Ji Xunchuan half-closed his eyes and watched the drama that Cen Xiao was performing in the court today.

After a moment, Cen Xiao turned around and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, it is now clear whether this young man is the Minister of the Imperial Clan."

Hearing this, Ji Xunchuan nodded.

Although I don’t understand what Cen Xiao meant by this, it really helped me.

In that case, why not just take advantage of the situation.

"Xia Huai'en, you did a good job on this matter." Ji Xunchuan said loudly.

Hearing this, Xia Huai'en bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this kind of thing happens frequently in the court now. If it weren't for this humble servant's investigation, I wouldn't have known that this trend of appointing officials obliquely could be as high as the Minister of the Imperial Clan. I also don't know who is behind this young man."

Xia Huai'en's words naturally had a hidden meaning.

Cen Xiao immediately looked at Lu Mingfeng who was lying on the side with his head buried.

The people in the court naturally knew the situation, but their positions were made clear, so everyone had no choice but to bow their heads.

"Today, I saw a good show!"

Ji Xunchuan snorted coldly, and his eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on Lu Mingfeng who was standing beside him, and he slowly said: "Today's matter will be handed over to..."

Ji Xunchuan dragged out the last word of his voice, his eyes wandering among the crowd.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, not daring to slack off at all.

"Let Minister Lu handle it."

After he finished speaking, Lu Mingfeng let out a long sigh, and his frown instantly relaxed.

Walking forward slowly with old steps, Lu Mingfeng cleared his throat and said, "Old Chen, I will not disgrace the emperor's order."

But Xia Huai'en, who was kneeling beside him, frowned - after all his hard work, he ended up making wedding dresses for others.

But this wedding dress was just a wedding dress to Xia Huai'en, but to Lu Mingfeng, it was just a tattered piece of clothing, and he wished he could burn it right away.

Cen Xiao glanced at Xia Huai'en beside him, slowly concealed the doubt in his eyes, and then retreated back to the court officials.

After the court session, everyone dispersed.

Xia Huai'en walked out slowly, and everyone wanted to retreat as far as possible. Now, anyone who met Xia Huai'en might be investigated thoroughly.

Let me ask you, in this court, who has a completely clean background?

But one person slowly walked forward.

"Lord Xia, you were really wronged in the court today." An old voice echoed behind his ears.

Xia Huai'en stopped walking. Now that the court was over, Lu Mingfeng was no longer as weak and old as he had been in the court. His steps were much stronger.

"Prime Minister Lu, you are too kind. There is no such thing as being wronged when working for His Majesty."

Xia Huai'en spoke respectfully.

However, Lu Mingfeng looked Xia Huai'en up and down - he really had misjudged this top scholar in the past.

As early as when Lu Mingfeng wanted to recruit Xia Huai'en but was rejected, he should have thought that the current confrontation would occur.

I didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

"If Lord Xia has any problems in the future, you can come to me for help. After all, when it comes to being a court official, I have more experience."

There was something threatening in Lu Mingfeng's words.

Xia Huai'en slowly raised his eyelashes. He smiled lightly, revealing the dark and calm look in his pupils. "Then I would like to thank Prime Minister Lu."

From childhood to adulthood, although Xia Huai'en had never seen the affairs of officialdom, he had heard a lot about it from his father.

Having been influenced by everything around him, these methods were nothing in Xia Huai'en's eyes.

Lu Mingfeng had been using his official position to pressure others since the moment he became prime minister, and Xia Huai'en was no longer surprised by it.

"It's getting late, Lord Xia, goodbye." Although Lu Mingfeng's voice was still kind, the disgust and contempt in his eyes did not dissipate for a long time.

At noon, the sounds of hawking were heard continuously along the street.

There is a spice shop along the street, which is relatively quiet.

"So, the emperor still indulged Lu Mingfeng today." Shen Wantang frowned.

Xia Huai'en took the tea from his sister and drank it all in one gulp. "Now, the most important official I can find has been killed by Lu Mingfeng. He will definitely erase all traces of that man. By then, it will be difficult for us to find any traces."

There was an unusual flash of panic in Xia Huai'en's eyes.

For this person, Xia Huai'en spent the whole night in the office reading files, trying to find some clues from the tiny traces. Unexpectedly, all his efforts would be wasted today.

But Shen Wantang remained calm and composed, as if he knew these things would happen.

Yue Fu then slowly sat down and listened to the conversation between the two, and was able to guess what was going on.

"Ms. Shen, we have reached a dead end now. What should we do next?"

Shen Wantang said slowly, his hands tapping on his knees slowly stopping: "Since this matter still cannot shake His Majesty, then let this disaster be even bigger."

Xia Huai'en and his sister felt nervous. A little bigger?

What Ji Xunchuan loves most is his hard-earned throne, and now the only thing that can shake his mind is the throne.

Xia Huai'en's eyes tightened, and he quickly said, "Miss Shen, this is a capital crime!"

He lowered his voice and looked around.

Shen Wantang naturally understood. She calmly picked up the teacup beside her and slowly said, "Master Xia, did I say I was going to do those things?"

Xia Huai'en was puzzled.

Shen Wantang raised a gentle arc at the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows: "Lord Xia is well-educated and well-informed. He is naturally aware of the matter of seeing snakes in a cup of wine."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Huai'en suddenly became enlightened.

The tension just now disappeared in an instant, and now I feel much more relaxed.

"But the individual operations still require more planning from Lord Xia."
