I'm still so majestic

Yan Ji looked at the innocent smile on the corners of Fu Zhihuai's lips, feeling helpless.

He lowered his head, and his eyes stopped unconsciously on the small dirty picture. The faces of the two people who were tightly attached to each other were reddish, their eyes were blurred, the clothes on their bodies were hanging dangerously on their shoulders, and the joint part was looming. It's a bit of a feeling.

Alas.

Yan Ji put down the letter paper, and quickly glanced at Fu Zhihuai's lower body calmly.I feel that after the prime minister returned from this trip, the degree of desire and dissatisfaction seems to be higher than before by more than 01:30 points.

His eyes couldn't help showing some sympathy.

The glance he glanced at before passed so quickly, Fu Zhihuai didn't notice it, but now he suddenly saw the sympathy in Yan Ji's eyes, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Yan Ji touched his nose uncomfortably: "The prime minister has been in Jiangnan for so many days, has he ever contacted your sweetheart?"

Fu Zhihuai smiled: "It has never been broken."

"That's good." Yan Ji was very relieved, and after finishing speaking, he raised his chin and looked at him: "Then... the prime minister isn't going to express his heart to him now?"

Fu Zhihuai did not speak, his gaze was fixed on Yan Ji's brows and eyes for a long time, and he spoke softly: "It's still a little bit late, but it's coming soon...Your Majesty, how many letters are there now?"

Yan Ji stretched out his hand and flipped through the pages: "Counting today's, 120 seven seals."

Fu Zhihuai hummed, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "120 seven letters, it's not sincere to say it, and he still doesn't understand anything, so it's not the time, let's wait."

Yan Ji understands the truth.

But he was afraid that Fu Zhihuai would not be able to bear it first.

But others have no position to say anything about this kind of thing, so this is enough.Yan Ji put the letter into the carved wooden box on the side: "Then I will continue to keep it, and when you want it, come to me to ask for it."

Fu Zhihuai's eyes were soft: "Okay."

Afterwards, the two talked again. Yan Ji saw his eyes were black and blue, and knew that he was extremely tired at this time, so he said, "Since this matter has come to an end, Xiang Fu should go back to rest as soon as possible. Taifu supports you, don't be too hard on yourself."

Fu Zhihuai was busy with planning these days, after entering Beijing overnight, he changed into his court clothes and went to the palace, he was indeed exhausted physically and mentally, he nodded in response, bowed and saluted, then turned and left the imperial study.

Watching his back disappear, Yan Ji leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said with a sigh: "I don't know when he has such a reserved side, he has too many worries, and he dare not even say some things. That's hardly a good thing."

Xie Wenzhuo put a cushion on his back to make him more comfortable to lean on. Hearing this, he took a deep look at him: "After all, it's because I care too much and worry about gains and losses, so naturally I lose courage."

Yan Ji raised his eyebrows: "Hearing the tone of the Taifu, it seems to be empathetic?"

Xie Wenzhuo laughed softly: "Perhaps...Your Majesty, it looks like nothing is going on today, do you want to go back?"

Yan Ji nodded and stood up.When he got up, his cuffs accidentally brushed against the carved wooden box on the side, and the letter he just put back was not folded, and was swept along the sleeves to the table.Yan Ji folded it with his hands down, and it was inevitable that he would see the dirty picture again. For some reason, he remembered Xie Wenzhuo's erotic scroll.

And then there was the look of Xie Wenzhuo bowing his head that night, his fingers lightly clasping the hem of his shirt.

Old Yan Ji blushed, quickened his pace, opened the door and walked out.

Standing behind him, Xie Wenzhuo took the sudden redness from the base of his ears into his eyes, and it flashed across his face, and the deep part of the dark eyes gradually revealed a small light, which was fleeting.

……

In the next few days, all the officials in the Daqi court were busy with Li Ziqing (Qin Tong).

After all, the paper could not contain the fire, and after a thorough investigation, the matter behind Li Ziqing soon surfaced.The principal culprit was Chen Yan, one of the chief ministers of the Ministry of Rites. Because he was indebted to Li Ziqing's father in the past, he secretly replaced Li Ziqing after he was convicted and ransacked his home.

The Yushitai and Dali Temple followed Chen Yan to investigate. Three days later, the list of people involved in this matter was submitted to the imperial court.

On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, when he went to court, Dali Temple Minister Lin Yin played a memorial to clarify the matter, explaining the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and the evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.The emperor was furious. On the same day, five people, Chen Yan from the Ministry of Rites and the Head of the Ministry of Public Affairs from the Ministry of Punishment, were beheaded. 19 accomplices were removed from office and exiled for [-] miles.

This turmoil lasted for many days, and people in the court were panicked.

By the time the dust settled, another half a month had passed.

At the end of the day, Yan Zhou didn't stop much, and hurried back to Prince Lin's Mansion.

He entered the study, sat behind the desk frowning, with an expression full of irritability and impatience.Soon, the door was knocked, and Luo Ming and Chen Zhixiao walked in and stood in front of him, looking haggard and tired.

Yan Zhou looked up at them: "How is it now?"

Luo Ming and Chen Zhixiao lowered their heads: "The dark thread hidden in the six parts has almost been pulled out. Now the power is out of balance, and the people who were newly installed before are useless. Now, now..."

They hesitated.

Yan Zhou said coldly, "Say."

Luo Ming lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, almost none of our subordinates are available now."

As soon as the words fell, the brush that Yan Zhou was holding on to fell to the ground with a 'snap'.

After Luo Ming finished speaking, he didn't speak again, and lowered his head together with Chen Zhixiao, and glanced at Yan Zhou's face from the corner of his eye from time to time.

Yan Zhou's face was gloomy: "These things obviously have nothing to do with them. The people involved have already passed away. It's clear that someone is playing tricks behind their backs. They took advantage of this to pull out all the king's people..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, his expression was unclear, for a long time, he suddenly laughed in a low voice, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Okay, what a Fu Zhihuai, what a game in the game, he has a good idea, but I really thought this king would do it like this." Is it easy to be suppressed? Naive! If so, if so..."

He repeated the last four words many times in his mouth, and his tone became more and more serious. In the end, his face and eyes were full of sternness.

Chen Zhixiao and Luo Ming saw his expression in their eyes, the former was startled and kept silent, while the latter frowned a little, and quickly retreated, and after a long silence, he still opened his mouth: "My lord, do you really think so?" Is there only one Fu Zhihuai behind this?"

Yan Zhou narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Luo Ming raised his head: "My lord, have you forgotten that even though Fu Zhihuai set up this game, the one who sent him to Jiangnan was the one in the palace!"

"He is a child who has been used to the world since he was a child and has never seen anything. What can he understand?" Yan Zhou said with a gloomy face: "And sending Fu Zhihuai to go is the meaning of the court. He is used to being a dude and will just let him go. Can think of something else!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Ming was a little anxious: "But since the new emperor ascended the throne, we seem to be going smoothly on the surface, but every step of the way seems to be led by others, the power is out of balance, the prestige is damaged, and even now... ..."

He paused, and his voice sank: "My lord, is this middle game really just a power struggle for Fu Zhihuai, rather than the interlocking situation set up by the one in the palace since he ascended the throne?"

These words obviously touched Yan Zhou's back, Yan Zhou stood up suddenly, and looked over with a pair of dark eyes: "You mean, this king's scheming ability is even better than that of a dude, and he fell into his trap." Bureau?"

Luo Ming bowed his head: "I dare not."

"Why don't you dare?" Yan Zhou sneered: "This king made it clear today, this game is absolutely impossible to be set up by him. Don't forget that in the past, the king was obedient to me in the court. It was him, and he was the one who relied on me when the assassin was probing, even if my king stepped into the game and his power was damaged, but at the same time, the third department of criminal household officials was also severely injured."

As he said that, he lowered his face: "The punishment department and the official department have always been neutral, and the household department belongs to Su Mou's faction, and he has no second thoughts about it. If he really has a plan to set up a situation, how can he not understand the way of the emperor's overall situation? Such a self-destructive thing?"

Luo Ming didn't speak this time.

Seeing his silence, Yan Zhou laughed mockingly again: "Besides, even if he is really scheming, he has only been on the throne for less than half a year, and it is absolutely impossible to find out the king's side. Said... there is someone behind the scenes to help."

Luo Ming and Chen Zhixiao's heart skipped a beat, but when they looked up, they only saw the irony on Yan Zhou's lips.

Chen Zhixiao hurriedly bowed: "My lord, I have no second thoughts about you!"

Yan Zhou's attitude was not as relaxed as before, and he didn't want to mention this matter with them. He sneered again when he heard the words: "At this time, suspects don't need to be suspicious, and this king doesn't want to doubt a lot. I just hope you can understand your current situation. The location is good for yourself.”

After all, he waved his hand impatiently: "Forget it, the king is too irritable today, you go back first, don't worry about the rest, the king has stood in this Daqi court for so many years, how can he be alone?" What Fu Zhihuai can bring down is..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Luo Ming and Chen Zhixiao looked up, Yan Zhou looked at them darkly for a while: "Forget it, it's fine, let's go back."

The two looked at each other, bowed in response, and retreated after saluting.

Not long after they left, the door was knocked suddenly, Yan Zhou responded, and walked in with his head bowed: "My lord, there is the letterhead over there."

Yan Zhou's eyes lit up. After receiving the letter, he turned away from others and opened it. After carefully reading the writing on it, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

……

Luo Ming and Chen Zhixiao, who left Prince Lin's Mansion, were also in complicated moods at this time.

Chen Zhixiao frowned, full of worry: "After this incident, my Ministry of Rites suffered the most serious injuries. One of the three chief ministers went, and many of them died. The suspicion in your Majesty's heart will inevitably focus on I'm here... What are you talking about, what should I do in the future. "

After finishing speaking, he didn't hear any response from the people next to him for a long time. Chen Zhixiao turned his head to look over and saw Luo Ming lowering his head in deep thought, obviously not hearing what he said.

Chen Zhixiao reached out to touch him: "Luo Ming?"

Only then did Luo Ming react: "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhixiao told Luo Ming what he just said, and the latter stopped, remained silent for a long time, and opened his mouth in a low voice: "What should we do in the future... Do you really still think that we have a future?"

Chen Zhixiao was startled, and lowered his voice: "What do you mean?"

Luo Ming's expression was very indifferent: "You and I used to follow Prince Lin for the sake of glory and wealth, so that one day we can stand at the top of the court's power without having to look at the faces of so many people."

Chen Zhi smiled and nodded.

"However, after all these years, I suddenly realized that I have been looking at the faces of others, and the power in the court..." He smiled bleakly, and looked at Chen Zhixiao: "Look at the second division of Gong and Rites, how many people are there?" Our people? What else do we have?"

Chen Zhixiao opened his mouth, but finally fell silent.

"We don't have anything." Luo Ming said: "But look at the other four out of the six departments. The two departments of criminal officials have always been neutral and upright, so I won't say much, but the two departments of Hu and Bing, Shangshu Ning Chuan and Zhang Qi, have real power under their hands. They all look very satisfied.”

"..."

"I still remember that when the six of us were nominated for the gold list, we were all high-spirited people, but now... I suddenly feel that I have been left far behind by them, and no matter what, I can't catch up .”

After finishing speaking, Luo Ming raised his head, smiled even more wretchedly, and shook his head: "Well, it's the path I chose after all, anyway, looking at it now, I can't go very far."

Chen Zhixiao looked at him with a bitter expression.

Luo Ming just smiled: "Okay, don't talk about anything else, let's go back."

Chen Zhixiao nodded and followed, the two of them went back to the mansion in silence, without saying anything.

But this heart is different.
