Seeing Liu Che present, Liu Ling seemed to feel that it would be inconvenient to stay longer. He glanced at Ying Zheng again and said with a smile, "It's getting late today, so my sister will retire first."

Saying this, he saluted Ying Zheng and left.

Liu Che waited for Liu Ling to go far away, then smiled at Ying Zheng: "Second Young Master Chen has a reputation for being a romantic, what else do you have with Liu Ling's sister?"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "How dare a humble minister climb up high."

Liu Che said: "In my opinion, you'd better go back to rest earlier, lest someone be pushed into the water tonight."

After Liu Che finished speaking, surrounded by the palace people, he got into the chariot and left, which made Ying Zheng a little puzzled.

Because it was getting late, Tian Fu couldn't go to the East Palace to meet the Queen Mother, but his heart kept beating. He didn't forget what Liu Che said at the banquet.

Liu Che said that Liu Dingguo, the king of Yanshan, formed a clique in the imperial court for personal gain, formed gangs, and thought that no one dared to touch him with his backing.Then this backer, this party, must be talking about himself.

Tian Fu didn't need anyone to remind him, he felt like a bright mirror in his heart, when he thought that the emperor's purpose was to beat himself, Tian Fu couldn't sit still.

He walked around the room several times, but couldn't sit down. It was impossible to go to the East Palace at such a late hour. The Queen Mother seemed to have fallen asleep, but if he was asked to wait until the next morning to go to the East Palace to look for the Queen Mother, Tian Fu felt anxious again. This situation is too serious to wait.

Tian Fu didn't sit in a seat all night, let alone rest on the bed. Tian Fu kept running around in the room, and when it was daylight, he immediately opened the door and went to the East Palace.

The queen mother is also getting older, and she doesn't like to sleep in late, but even so, Tian Fu came too early, she doesn't need to go to court today, and the emperor won't come to save herself, so she doesn't need to get up early.

When Tian Fu arrived, the Queen Mother hadn't washed up, so he couldn't go in.

Tian Fu was walking around at the gate of the East Palace, and when the maid came out, he immediately walked in.

The Queen Mother leaned on the soft couch, let the maid pass the meal in, and said to Tian Fu with a smile: "You came so early today, have you had breakfast, sit down quickly."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so comfortable, Tian Fu knew that she hadn't heard about King Yanshan yet.

King Yanshan was sent to prison for inspection because of lewdness and incest, killing innocent people indiscriminately. Naturally, Tian Fu could not let the queen mother know Liu Dingguo's crimes, otherwise, even if the queen mother was one of her own, she would not be able to speak for such a king of Yanshan. Don't be mad at me.

Tian Fu thought about it for a while, and said: "My good sister, brother, how can you have breakfast? You don't know yet, your majesty... Your majesty, he was speaking yesterday on the day when the empress and empress were celebrating. At the banquet, all civil and military officials escorted Yanshan King Liu Dingguo to the Tingwei Office!"

The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard it, she put her chopsticks on the table, and said, "There is such a thing?"

She said, let Tian Fu sit down, and continued: "Even if I don't like Wei Zifu very much now, the emperor is too confused to do this. What crime did Liu Dingguo, king of Yanshan, commit? Liu Dingguo is not his Liu family Is it the flesh and blood of the emperor, what the emperor did is too ruthless, where is Liu Dingguo's old face going?"

Tian Fu leaned over and cried, "Good sister, you don't know yet, the person who arrested Yanshan King was Chen Fu who came back from flood control that day and wanted to impeach me!"

"Chen Yu?"

The Queen Mother was startled, she gritted her teeth and said: "I didn't expect it to be him? He made up his mind to make it difficult for you? Fortunately, I was still wondering if I wanted to marry the Chen family when Chen Wu was about to die."

She said with a sneer, and said: "Huh, it's better now, he Chen Yu wants to bring you down, so don't make it easy for him, Princess Longli won't marry such a person."

Tian Fu said: "But now is not the time for me to have the final say. The King of Yanshan is married to me. It is impossible for the emperor to forget this relationship. The reason why the emperor took Yanshan King into custody may be for me, sister." ! Think about it, if there is no acquiescence from the emperor, how can Chen Yu move Yanshan King?"

The Queen Mother was startled, and said, "Is it the emperor's idea?"

"According to my younger brother, it's probably the emperor's idea."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't eat anything, and said, "Why did the emperor do this?"

Tian Fu said: "Sister, don't you know that the emperor didn't want me to be the prime minister from the very beginning. Didn't he say that in the past, the best candidate for the prime minister in the emperor's heart was Dou Ying. When Dou Ying's family asked to kill him, the emperor also said The account is written on my head, don't look at him saying nothing, but remember it clearly in my heart, sister, you have to protect your brother this time, if you don't care, I will be finished!"

Seeing Tian Fu's sad words, the Queen Mother said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. It's the same as saying that there is no tomorrow. Isn't it just a Chen Fu?"

Tian Fu lowered his voice, and said: "Last time, because of the flood control, Chen Fu seemed to follow the vines and found out a lot of problems in the fields. I don't know if he has continued to investigate now. My brother really has no foundation. .”

The queen mother thought about it for a while, and said, "The emperor is my son, what's wrong with me having two pieces of land? Besides, those pieces of land were flooded by him, and I didn't say anything. Well, if Chen Yu wants to check it, let him do it!"

Tian Fu was very anxious, but the Queen Mother didn't know what he was thinking. The Queen Mother didn't know about Tian Fu's corruption and perversion of the law behind his back. What's more, Tian Fu also said back then that the emperor is young and has no crown prince. Once he returns to the West, who among the kings surnamed Liu can be more qualified than you for the throne?

The queen mother didn't know about these things. If Chen Yu followed the vine to investigate, Tian Fu would have to behead his family.

Tian Fu said: "Sister, this Chen Yu is too thoughtful. He used to be silent, but in the end he was all pretending. We can't confront him head-on. Even if there is nothing wrong with him, we are afraid that this kind of person will be impeached. The impeachment comes and goes. , and made up all the mistakes."

The Queen Mother said: "Then what do you say, isn't this a coward?"

Tian Fu thought for a while, and said: "Sister, please invite the emperor to come here, and say that the emperor's discipline in rectifying the princes and kings this time is very correct. Chen Fu has made a great contribution, so he should be a Marquis, so he will be a Marquis of Longyou." !"

"Marquis Long Lu?" The Queen Mother quit after hearing this, and said, "Isn't this the meaning of marrying Princess Long Lu?"

Tian Fu said: "Give him the title of Marquis Longli first, keep Chen Yu safe, let him know the sweetness and don't go around blindly impeaching others, and then my brother will go to meet Chen Yu for a while. If he is interested, he will marry Princess Longli. It's nothing to hinder, when Chen Wu is gone and Chen Xu is useless, isn't the Chen family easy to catch?"

The Queen Mother said: "Isn't this just bowing your head to Chen Yu and showing weakness? Can you swallow this breath?"

Tian Fu said: "Retreat when it's time to retreat, and advance when it's time to advance. Chen Fu is in a hurry. Waiting for the Chen family to get his hands, why can't he be killed?"

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "That's it."

When Tian Fu heard the Queen Mother's approval, he immediately said, "Sister, don't forget to tell the emperor about Fenghou."

The queen mother said: "I have already told the emperor once last time, I didn't expect Chen Yu to make such a fuss halfway, it really bothers me."

After Tian Fu met the Queen Mother, he left the palace. There was a car waiting for Tian Fu at the gate of the palace. Tian Fu thought it was from his own house, so he got into the car, and unexpectedly saw Liu Ling.

Because Tian Fu knew that Chen Fu was checking him, so when he saw Liu Ling, he was a little scared, and quickly pulled the curtain of the car tightly.

Liu Ling giggled when he saw it, nestled in Tian Fu's arms, and said, "Marquis Wu'an, you're so tight, can't you wait?"

Tian Fu was not in the mood, pushed her out of his arms, and said, "Why are you here?"

Liu Ling was flabbergasted, glared at Tian Fu, and said, "Marquis Wu'an, what are you talking about?"

Tian Fu said: "It wasn't that you were not there last night. The emperor arrested King Yanshan and asked for capital punishment! This is beating me, it's at this point, and you still come to me, do you want to kill me!"

Liu Ling sneered, straightened his head, looked sideways at him, and said, "Marquis Wu'an? How can you make such a big deal out of your courage?"

Tian Fu didn't talk nonsense to her, and said: "Now is an extraordinary time, I can't take this risk, you and your father rarely come to me recently, no, don't come to me, in case the emperor finds out, no Just kidding!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Ling turned pale with anger, and said, "Well, you Marquis of Wu'an, with just this little courage, even if my Lord has misjudged the person."

She said, opened the curtain, got out of the car and left.

Tian Fu hurriedly poked his head out to look outside, and it seemed that no one was paying attention, so he put down the curtain, covered it tightly, and ordered to go back to the mansion.

Tian Fu went back to the mansion, walked around the hall several times, and felt that he couldn't sit still, he should immediately tell Chen Fu about the matter of making him a marquis.

Thinking of this, Tian Fu immediately asked someone to prepare a car and went to visit Chen Fu.

Ying Zheng came out of the palace early in the morning, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard from his servants that the Prime Minister Tian Fu had arrived.

Ying Zheng laughed as soon as he heard it, and Tian Fu couldn't sit still for a day, and he didn't ask his servants to bring Tian Fu in immediately, but said to the servants: "Bring Mr. Tian to the lobby and say that I have something to do now. As soon as the matter is over, I will arrive immediately."

When the servants went out, they quickly led Tian Fu to sit in the lobby, and brought out water and fresh melons and fruits. The waiters were very thoughtful, but there was no sign of Ying Zheng.

When Tian Fu waited for a stick of incense, he drank several cups of water and couldn't sit still, he said: "Master Chen...does he have something important, it's inconvenient."

The servant just replied, "Your Excellency is discussing matters in the study room. I don't know what is going on. It seems that someone from the Ting Wei Department has come."

When Tian Fu heard the words "Ting Wei Department", he felt a "thud" in his heart, his face turned pale, and he said with a dry smile: "Master Chen is really busy."

The words of the servants were naturally taught by Ying Zheng. There was no one from the Ting Wei Office in the study. Ying Zheng just sorted out some documents brought from Yandi and prepared to hand them over to the Ting Wei Office for archiving. He also further checked Yanshan King Liu Dingguo .

Tian Fu waited for a while longer, and the more he waited, the more hopeless it became. He was afraid that Ying Zheng and the school lieutenants from the Ting Wei Department would be waiting, and that would be a disaster, so Tian Fu couldn't sit still, and stood up to say goodbye. , Said to visit again next time.

Tian Fu was going out. Naturally, someone notified Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng pretended to go in by chance. When he saw Tian Fu, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Master Prime Minister, is he going back? Is it my hospitality?" Zhou, the hospitality is not good, and the Prime Minister has been sitting for such a long time, it is really too busy recently, and I can't get away, isn't this, I just sent away the people from the court. "

Tian Fu rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to inquire about some news, how could Ying Zheng fail to see his little thoughts, and said, "Please, sit inside."

Ying Zheng led Tian Fu into the lobby, Tian Fu felt that he couldn't wait for Ying Zheng to speak, he had to congratulate him, otherwise he didn't know what Ying Zheng would say that was not good for him.

Tian Fu sat down with a smile all over his face, bowed to Ying Zheng again and again, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Chen."

Ying Zheng said: "I don't know what happy event the Prime Minister is talking about?"

Tian Fu said: "Before I came out of the palace this morning, I was called to the East Palace to speak. The East Palace also heard that Mr. Chen assisted the emperor in punishing princes and kings for breaking the law. The East Palace was very happy and discussed with the emperor. I think Mr. Chen The contribution is indispensable, and he will be named a Marquis in a few days! Congratulations, it is really a great joy."

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, and immediately knew that Tian Fu was afraid, and came here to win him over. Tian Fu thought that a position as a marquis would move him, but he was very wrong. If Liu Che could make the world Given it to him, Ying Zheng would probably smile.

Ying Zheng pretended to be very surprised, and said, "This... this, I'm really ashamed, I didn't do anything."

Tian Fu said: "No, Master Chen deserves it, deserves it! Ah, that's right..."

Tian Fu said with a mysterious smile on his face: "The meaning of the empress dowager, Mrs. Chen knows why the empress dowager wants the emperor to enshrine you?"

Ying Zheng followed his words and asked, "What?"

Tian Fu said: "Long Wohou."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately thought of what Liu Che said to him at the banquet yesterday. Could it be that he really wants to marry Princess Longli to him?I thought to myself that the Queen Mother is really generous, she is reluctant to let her children be trapped by wolves, and she wants to marry her daughter to the Chen family. There is no need to talk about the small things in it. Although the Chen family has fallen, the fallen big family also has some foundations. Yes, the Queen Mother is looking at the Chen family with greedy eyes, and wants to grab them all.

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, but he was flattered on his face, he waved his hands again and again, and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it, what is the virtue and ability of this humble minister, it deserves the word 'Long Concern'."

Tian Fu smiled and said, "You don't have to be modest, Long Luhou. It's too early to tell about this matter, but I dare not say [-]%, [-]% is already a certainty. Long Luhou just waits to be sealed."

Ying Zheng pretended to decline again, and sent Tian Fu away with great kindness.

Tian Fu was very happy when he left, thinking that Ying Zheng had been fooled by a vain title. Even though he was a master in the court, he couldn't compete with Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng frightened him. Yes, Tian Fu was completely kept in the dark by him, and he was so beautiful that he didn't know it.

Tian Fu didn't know that Liu Che had already agreed to him. As long as Ying Zheng can overthrow Tian Fu, the position of prime minister is Ying Zheng's, and the position of prime minister and vain marquis, Ying Zheng naturally wants the position of prime minister, so why not worry about it in the future? big event?

Even if Liu Che has now established the internal and external courts, and has already focused on the internal court, but the prime minister needs to be stepped up step by step, and he can't rush for quick success. How many losses did Liu Che suffer, how many things were missed, and how many deaths? Man, he's been thinking long and hard, and he's been planning this for six years.

Ying Zheng waited for Tian Fu to leave, and went to the Tingwei Office. The master father Yan was also in the Tingwei Office. Ying Zheng handed over the sorted documents to the Tingwei Office, and went to apply for another document, which was going to be dispatched the next day. use.

Early the next morning, Ying Zheng came out of the mansion, put the documents in his sleeves, got into the car, and sent people to the gate of the prime minister's mansion.

When Tian Fu heard that Ying Zheng was coming, he immediately went out to greet him, Ying Zheng also greeted him with a smile, Tian Fu thought it was all right.

As a result, Tian Fu had just welcomed Ying Zheng into the mansion, and before he even reached the lobby, Ying Zheng stopped, with an unfathomable smile on his face, and his voice could not be heard, and said: "Okay, no Tell the prime minister that I have official business on me, so I don't want to stay for a long time, I just came to deliver a message, and I have to go back after I finish."

Although Tian Fu didn't expect him to change his face suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with Ying Zheng's expression and tone, so he immediately smiled and said, "I don't know what it is, who is it? Could it be the emperor's?"

Ying Zheng sneered, and said, "It's not the emperor's. It's not impossible for the prime minister to see the emperor, but in the current situation, we need to ask the court officer to help the prime minister ask the emperor."

"This..." Tian Fu couldn't understand, so he asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Ying Zheng take out a brocade silk from his sleeve, shook it out, shook it in front of Tian Fu's eyes, and said: "There is a seal from the Ting Wei's office on it, Mr. Prime Minister, the crime committed by King Yanshan has been confirmed by Ting Wei." The Department has set up an investigation, please go to the Ting Wei Department now, there is no need for the Prime Minister to rush, just assist in the investigation."

Tian Fu was dumbfounded. He looked at Ying Zheng for a long time. How could he have imagined that yesterday they were talking and laughing. Tian Fu told Ying Zheng that you were going to be a Marquis. Doesn’t that mean that you are a Marquis? Is it my credit? As a result, it happened the next day.

The document in Yingzheng's hand did have a seal from the court official's office, and it was not fake. Tian Fu couldn't help but leave. His face darkened immediately, and he felt that he had been put together by Yingzheng. He was angry and scared at the same time. I'm afraid that the Ting Wei Department will find out about the rebellion between him and King Huainan.

Ying Zheng took Tian Fu away right under the eyes of everyone.

Liu Che heard about this right away. After hearing this, he was stunned for a while, then laughed loudly, put his pen aside, and said with a smile: "This Chen Yu is really capable."

He said, thought for a while, and said, "Does the Empress Dowager know about this?"

Li Yannian said: "It's all small news, Donggong doesn't seem to know it yet...but I'll see it, I'll soon know."

Liu Che suddenly felt in a good mood, and said, "Go and let the people in the palace speak carefully."

As soon as Li Yannian heard it, he immediately understood that the emperor wanted to help Chen Yu suppress the news, so that the empress dowager in the East Palace would not hear it.

The queen mother was kept in the dark, and she really didn't know. When she heard about it, Tian Fu had already been sent back to the mansion, and she couldn't find fault with her. After all, the prime minister was only helping to investigate, not interrogate him.

The queen mother was furious, and wanted to go to the emperor and let him dismiss Chen Yu, but Liu Che had been on guard against this for a long time. When the queen mother came to find him, he heard that the emperor took Han Shuo and Huo Qubing to go to the court. Lin Yuan has gone hunting, and he will not be able to return until the morning of the next day.

Tian Fu didn't sleep all night again. Although he didn't mean to ask him about crimes when he was called to the court officer's office, Tian Fu was guilty and afraid that others would catch him, so he trembled and made himself very emaciated.

After finally staring in a daze for a while, he was awakened by the nightmare. In the dream, his crimes were reported to the emperor by Chen Yu, and the emperor dismissed him from the position of prime minister in front of all civil and military officials.

Tian Fu wanted to intercede with the Empress Dowager, but his rebellion with Huainan King Stone was made public again. Even though the Queen Mother was his sister, she was Liu Che's mother. Without Liu Che, she was nothing at all. So how could the Queen Mother save him.

In the dream, Tian Fu was alone and helpless, and was finally dragged out by the Wei Wei of the palace.

Tian Fu was startled awake at once, except for the sweat all over his head, he felt that he had developed a lot of gray hair overnight, and he had aged a lot in an instant.

The weather was getting warmer, but Tian Fu got up and felt extremely cold. He was sitting and resting in thick clothes, when he saw a servant stumbled in, and said in a panic, "My... my lord... it's not good. , that Lord Chen is here again!"

"what!"

Tian Fu suddenly stood up, and said in shock: "Chen Fu is here again?"

The servant nodded repeatedly, and said: "Yes, it's at the door. The younger one asked Mr. Chen to come in, but Mr. Chen insisted on not coming in, saying that he just wanted to send a message, and he left after speaking."

The words that were almost exactly the same as yesterday made Tian Fu's mind buzz, and he fell down on the low couch with a "thump", and his servants rushed to help him, Tian Fu shook off the servants, put on his clothes, and then lost Go out like a god.

Tian Fu still wanted to have a few polite words with Chen Yu, but Ying Zheng didn't give it a chance, saying: "Your Excellency, you have to come to the Tingwei Office for the documents in the Tingwei's Office and the affairs of King Yanshan."

Tian Fu swallowed dryly, and after a while he came back to his senses, and said: "Tian Mou will pass here."

Seeing that he was turning around to go back, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Prime Minister, please slow down."

Tian Fu turned to look at him and said, "Is there anything else?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Today is a bit different from yesterday. The Prime Minister passed by in his own car yesterday, but today, I have already prepared a car for you."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, signaling Tian Fu to look into the distance.

Tian Fu looked up and saw a prison car parked at the corner of the street.

Tian Fu was immediately angry, because he hadn't slept well for the past two days, and Tian Fu was not too young, so he stepped forward tremblingly, and shouted: "Chen Fu, don't bully people too much! I, Tian, ​​is a prime minister after all. What kind of legal system requires you, a yellow-mouthed kid, to show off your power here!"

Ying Zheng smiled, and said calmly: "Protect Yanshan King, indulge in lust, and if the Prime Minister wants to hear the rest, I can naturally say it in front of the street."

Tian Fu panicked when he heard it. Although he didn't say anything about the three words "the rest", Tian Fu lost his backbone, and he didn't know how much Ying Zheng knew.

Tian Fu didn't speak, Ying Zheng moved half a step away, stretched out his sleeves and said, "Prime Minister, please stop."

Tian Fu never thought that during the lifetime of the Queen Mother, he would be handcuffed into the court.

The master's father Yan and Zhang Tang were all waiting at the Ting Wei's office. They were a little shocked to see that Ying Zheng really handcuffed the prime minister and the younger brother of the empress dowager.

Zhang Tang is a cruel official, this is not a secret of the Ting Wei Department, many ministers have heard it, no matter whether he is a relative of the emperor or not, as long as he is sent to this prison, it depends on Zhang Tang's face.

It's just that even though Zhang Tang is a cruel official, he never wants to handcuff Tian Fu. After all, Tian Fu's background is very strong now, and the Queen Mother is still alive. No one dares to compete with him, right?

Zhufuyan has long seen that this Chen Yu is not an ordinary person. When he was in Yandi, Yingzheng's vigorous and resolute style left a deep impression on Zhufuyan. Today's incident made Zhufuyan admire him even more. This is exactly what he wanted. style.

Tian Fu was in shackles, and Zhang Tang first interrogated the crimes of cover-up and connivance that Ying Zheng said. Although Tian Fu wanted to hide it, he was afraid that he would refuse to plead guilty. Ying Zheng would bring out himself and Huainan Wang. talk about things.

So I can only look remorseful, and said: "The guilty minister is convicted, but the guilty minister is only temporarily soft-hearted. After all, the king of Yanshan is my father-in-law, and the king of Yanshan is my wife. He has come here to cry all day and won't let me Reporting on King Yanshan, the guilty minister is only soft-hearted for a moment, and he is willing to be punished!"

When he said this, Zhu Fuyan and Zhang Tang looked at each other in blank dismay, one of them retreated to advance, and they pushed all the faults to King Yanshan.

Ying Zheng sat aside but was not in a hurry, just sneered.

Hearing Ying Zheng's soft sneer, Tian Fu shuddered all over his body, his calves twisted involuntarily, and he was afraid that he would speak.

Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, and said to the master father Yan and Zhang Tang: "My lords, I have something I want to ask the prime minister. This matter is of great importance, and His Majesty explained it in advance, so I don't know..."

As he said, Zhang Tang understood immediately, stood up and apologized with a smile: "Naturally, naturally..."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Master Yan: "Master Master, let's go out for a while first?"

Although the master father Yan didn't know what the emperor and Chen Yu had explained, but Chen Yu's talents and means of handling affairs were in front of him, so it was not impossible for the emperor to explain the matter alone.

The master's father Yan didn't doubt that he was there, so he went out with Zhang Tang.

Ying Zheng waited for them to leave, sat down, smiled unhurriedly and said, "Master Prime Minister, are you tired after standing for a long time? Please sit down."

Tian Fu saw that he had a pleasant face, his face was a little bit like Chen Ajiao's, but he still had a handsome and handsome face, and immediately felt very strange.

Tian Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the shackles made a "carrara" sound with his movements.

Tian Fu hurriedly said: "No need, no need."

Ying Zheng waited for a while, then said again: "There is no one else at the moment, is there anything else you want to say, Prime Minister?"

"This……"

Tian Fu's heart skipped a beat, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of smear, and said: "This... the matter of King Yanshan, the guilty minister is actually not very clear, after all, the king of Yanshan is in the fiefdom, and the guilty minister has been in the capital all the time, just a little It's just heard."

Ying Zheng laughed, and said, "What I'm asking is not about King Yanshan, but another... Don't you know Marquis Wu'an?"

Tian Fu was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, and said, "I don't know... I don't know what Mr. Chen is talking about, and I would like to ask Mr. Chen to give some pointers, otherwise... otherwise, the guilty minister will not be able to figure it out for a while."

Ying Zheng stood up, walked around him slowly, seemed to be looking at Tian Fu, and said, "Marquis Wu'an, let me tell you something... this matter is something that the empress dowager cannot know, don't worry about it. How much the Empress Dowager wants to support Wu Anhou and consolidate Wu Anhou's power, but this matter... Once the Empress Dowager finds out, she may be the first to spare you."

Tian Fu immediately raised his head, trembling with fright, but forced himself to remain calm, and said: "The guilty minister doesn't know what Mr. Chen said. If Mr. Chen has any evidence, you might as well show it and let the guilty minister know." Take a look, otherwise you will be slandering, and if you make a scene in front of the emperor, Master Chen will have no place to save his face!"

Ying Zheng stared at him for a while, disdainful of his dying struggle, and said, "Tian Fu, do you want to see the evidence? Do you remember how you pushed Dou Ying's family to the guillotine six years ago? Do you think Dou Ying is so stupid, honestly sent to die, from now on you Tian Fu can sit back and relax?"

"Dou... Dou Ying."

Tian Fu was taken aback. He really thought that Dou Ying would be safe after death, but he immediately calmed down and said with a smile, "You don't have to talk to me."

Ying Zheng said, "You think I'm scaring you?"

As he spoke, he picked up a stack of brocades from the table and said, "Tian Fu, part of your property is clearly remembered on it. When Dou Ying was in prison, you cut him off from the outside world. There is no way for Dou Ying to present these to the emperor, but it is now in use... By the way, I almost forgot, and there is also the record of your servant, which says how you received bribes from the King of Huainan."

Tian Fu opened his eyes wide, stepped back a few steps, leaned against the wall to barely stand still, and stared at the brocade in Ying Zheng's hand.

Ying Zheng glanced at him slightly, and said lightly, "Tian Fu, are you guilty?"

At this time, Tian Fu could no longer lean against the wall, so he slipped and sat down along the wall, looking like a defeated rooster.

Ying Zheng came out from inside, while Zhu Fuyan and Zhang Tang were still waiting outside. Seeing him coming out, Zhu Fuyan stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, what's the matter?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "I have asked all the questions that should be asked. If the two adults have nothing to ask, let Tian Fu go back. When the Empress Dowager finds out about this, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble. After all, it is the prime minister. Tomorrow It is up to the emperor to decide to go to court in the morning."

Tian Fu was released by the Tingwei Office for the second time, and this time he was even more distraught. He didn't expect that his affairs had been thoroughly investigated by Ying Zheng, and his followers ran out and even took refuge in Chen Jian.

Liu Che knew that the Queen Mother would come to "excuse the teacher", so he took the Imperial Forest Army to Shanglinyuan to stay for two days, and came back after the morning show.

In the early court, everyone arrived at the Chengming Hall, except Tian Fu. Liu Che sat on the dragon seat and said with a smile, "Why didn't Marquis Wu An come? I have come, but the prime minister didn't come."

The waiter hurriedly said: "Report to the emperor, the prime minister has already taken a leave of absence and is seriously ill."

"Seriously ill?"

Liu Che said: "I just went to Shanglin Garden for two days, and the Prime Minister fell ill?"

"Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

Liu Che looked towards the hall, and the person who spoke was Han Anguo, the official censor.

Han Anguo came out from the queue, stood in the middle of the hall, saluted first, and then said: "My minister received a letter from the prime minister last night... please resign."

"What?" Liu Che was a little surprised, and said, "Say it again."

The outer dynasty was divided into three princes and nine ministers, headed by the prime minister, the Taiwei was in charge of the military force, and the doctor Yushi was the existence of the prime minister. Tian Fu did not come, so he handed over the memorial of resignation to Han Anguo.

Han Anguo was also very surprised. He didn't expect Tian Fu to resign suddenly after being well-behaved.

Liu Che waved his hand, and Li Yannian took the document from Han Anguo with great insight, and presented it to Liu Che with both hands.

Liu Che unfolded it and couldn't help sneering.

Tian Fu said that he was foolish enough to cover up Yanshan King for a while, and did not report Yanshan King's actions in time. He felt that he had committed a serious crime and could not be the prime minister.

Tian Fu's resignation also stated that now the court is united and the emperor is planning a great cause and is sending troops to attack the Xiongnu. Tian Fu is willing to donate all his family property to the court to pay for the army.

This is what Liu Che sneered at. After all, Tian Fu is a smart person. He is too smart. Tian Fu is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager. If he is obsessed with obsession, Liu Che will probably spend a lot of effort.

But Liu Che was very smart. He resigned first and then donated his family property. Moreover, as the elder of the emperor, the empress dowager was still alive. This was the best way to protect himself wisely.

Liu Che placed the memorial on the table with a "snap", scaring everyone's backs.

"Okay," Liu Che said, "The Marquis of Wu'an was seriously ill and wanted to rest in peace, so he resigned from the position of prime minister, and he still didn't forget to donate all his family property to me. He really is my uncle. That's great..."

Everyone couldn't figure out what Liu Che meant, but the stunt was not what the word "good" meant on the surface, and everyone didn't dare to show their anger.

Liu Che stretched out his sleeves and said, "Sure."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were some whispered discussions in the hall. No one expected that the emperor would approve Tian Fu's resignation so simply.

Liu Che said again: "Since the position of Prime Minister is vacant now, do you have any good suggestions?"

Han Anguo looked up at Liu Che, then knelt down and said: "The emperor is wise, the position of the prime minister is very important, and the humble minister dare not take it rashly."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly followed suit.

Liu Che didn't refuse, and said, "Since you all think that I'm right, that's fine...Chen Yu."

Hearing Liu Che calling him, Yingzheng came out of the queue and walked to the middle of the hall to salute.

Liu Che looked at him from a high position, and said: "I said before, these days, I also feel that your talents are worthy of important responsibilities, so you should be the prime minister."

As soon as Liu Che's words fell, the Chengming Hall no longer had a quiet discussion, but a burst of noise. No one guessed that the emperor actually handed over the position of the prime minister, the head of the three princes, to a man who had just been killed for the crime of adultery by King Yanshan. Up-and-coming people.

When Ying Zheng heard Liu Che's words, he just saluted and said, "My humble minister, thank you."

In the eyes of everyone, he was not too happy, as if he was not surprised by honor or disgrace. Indeed, the position of a prime minister is not very important to Ying Zheng.

Liu Che said again: "The Empress Dowager of the previous day mentioned it to me, and she also thought that Chen Yu was a talented person, and she also rectified the atmosphere of the princes and kings. It is right to be a prince, so let's talk about it today. Chen Yu蹻..."

Ying Zheng saluted again and said, "The minister is here."

Liu Che said with a smile: "The empress dowager wants you to be the Marquis of Long Lu."

"My humble servant, thank you."

Liu Che's canonization shocked everyone once again. Chen Yu, a newcomer to the court, jumped up, surpassing all officials, and became the prime minister at the head of the court. From the tone of the emperor, it seems that the empress dowager also appreciates this person , also sealed Long Luhou.

Everyone naturally knew that there was Princess Longli, and now that the same name was sealed, it naturally meant to marry the princess.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Liu Che said, "Let's come here today, retreat to the court... that's right," Liu Che had already stood up, picked up Tian Fu's memorial on the table, picked up the bamboo slips and tapped on the table, squinting. Squinting his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Let Marquis Wu An take good care of his illness."

After the dynasty was dispersed, Yingzheng became the head of the three lords. Naturally, many people would come to greet him or congratulate him. Li Yannian chased after him, squeezed through the crowd, and said to Yingzheng with a smile: "Long Wohou, Your Majesty, Long Wohou is here tonight. Enjoy flowers and wine at Weiyang Lake."

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, not knowing what Liu Che meant, but he quickly agreed.

When others heard that Long Lihou had such an honor, they felt that the emperor valued him, so there was no reason not to curry favor with him.

Yingzheng naturally knew that Liu Che didn't have any good intentions, and it wasn't as simple as everyone thought, but would appreciating flowers and drinking make Yingzheng afraid?

Before it got dark, Ying Zheng asked someone to prepare a car to go there, but he didn't expect that Liu Che had arrived already, and it seemed that he had arrived for a while.

There were some guards and palace people standing in front of the small pavilion in front of the lake. There was a table of wine and banquet inside, which was not very luxurious. Although there were only a few small dishes to go with the wine, they were quite delicate.

Ying Zheng walked over, and Liu Che was standing by the lake with his hands behind his back. He seemed to have heard his footsteps, but he didn't
