The next day, Li Jinghuan was stopped by Li Jingyu halfway when he was going to the household department. He didn't intend to take Li Jingyu to the household department, but seeing Li Jingyu's stubborn eyes, he gave in.When they arrived at the Ministry of Housing, Wu Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting and those subordinates who were transferred to handle errands were all waiting inside.The hall was crowded with people, but there was no sound, and a depressive atmosphere permeated it.

Li Jinghuan looked sad in his heart, but so many people were waiting for him to make an idea. As the backbone, he must not let himself be confused, so he pretended to smile brightly, "What's the matter? Why are everyone so sad? "

Everyone looked worried and sighed.The news that the emperor let people out has long been spread, what does this mean?This is a hot job, once the wind direction changes, those who have been rectified will definitely come back with redoubled revenge.The crown prince and the fourth prince are princes, so who can do anything to them?But they are different, their official positions are low, and they are the first to bear the brunt of the accident. Thinking about this, everyone is worried.

"Everyone, I won't go into details about why I called everyone here today. I just want to say that you don't need to be so worried. The matter is not that serious yet."

Everyone peeked and saw that Li Jinghuan's face was not very ugly, and they all had some hope in their hearts.

Wu Hui frowned and coughed, "Prince, please ask Rong Chen."

"Master Wu, please speak."

"On the day when the emperor transferred the old minister to run an errand, the old minister expected such a day. At that time, the old minister asked His Highness, and at that time His Highness still... Forget it, the old minister will not say more about this matter. But, is it true that this paragraph The painstaking efforts of all of us, and this long-lasting plan, can it be ruined overnight?"

This old man has always been upright and upright. Li Jinghuan knew it well, but it was only at this time that he felt some admiration. He cupped his hands and respectfully said: "Master Wu, this matter is also very heartbreaking, but the things that the father has decided will not be changed. reason, so..."

Wu Hui seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden, his straight back was also bent, and he said in a daze: "Thank you, the prince, for your reminder, the old minister has nothing to say."

Li Jinghuan felt very uncomfortable seeing him like this, but he still raised his voice and said: "Everyone, this is the end of the matter. Whether it is Gu or the fourth brother, it is also uncomfortable, but the more important thing at this moment is to find a way out. As long as people Now, we can continue to do it next time when the father checks out the deficit again."

In the last sentence, in order to ease the atmosphere, he also made a joke abnormally. Although the hearts of the people were heavy, they couldn't help laughing, and a few people laughed out loud, and the atmosphere finally relaxed a little.

"Master Wu, you don't have to worry. If someone troubles you in the future, there will be noble people to help you. As for other people, some of them will be released to be officials. If they have too many grievances, they will be released further away. Wealth and wealth can be guaranteed for a lifetime." This is the best result that Li Jinghuan can strive for.

In a few words, he arranged for everyone to retreat, with sincerity and good intentions.

When Wu Hui heard this, his eyes were red. Seeing him so emotional, many people couldn't help weeping silently, "Otherwise, we all jointly ask for the grace of Long Live, and the management of the deficit...how can we fall short?"

"Okay," Li Jinghuan slammed the table, "The matter has come to this point, there is no room for redemption, you don't want to be mother-in-law, just go back and act cautiously, there will be no major problems."

……

On the way back to the palace, Li Jingyu and Li Jinghuan walked side by side, neither of them spoke.Just when Li Jinghuan was thinking about whether to say something to break the embarrassment, Li Jingyu suddenly spoke up by himself, and he whispered: "Second brother, do you blame the emperor?"

Li Jinghuan was taken aback by his words, "What is the fourth brother talking about? Why does Gu blame the emperor?"

Li Jingyu lowered his head and was silent for a while, before saying: "I thought that the second brother would complain about the father, at least he would be dissatisfied. After all, the father asked the second brother to do things, but the matter was halfway done, and the father backed down first, and did something wrong." The second brother has offended a lot of people now, but the matter still hasn't been done, now it's people inside and outside..."

"Fourth brother, needless to say," Li Jinghuan said firmly: "What about you? Will you blame the father? If you don't complain, then the second brother will naturally not complain. The father has his own difficulties and thoughts on this matter. , although I can't fully understand it, but I believe in my father, no matter what decision my father makes, I am willing to stand with him!"

Li Jingyu seemed to be shaken by his words. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhan Chong's voice from behind: "I have seen His Royal Highness, the Fourth Prince."

Li Jingyu was taken aback, and when he came to his senses, his face immediately changed drastically. He didn't know how long this person had been listening here, and he said coldly, "So it's General Zhan Chong, why did you come into the palace?"

Zhan Chong seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in his words, and said without changing his face: "I have some private matters with His Highness the Crown Prince, please avoid the Fourth Prince."

Li Jingyu twitched the corner of his mouth, "When will it be your turn to command me?"

Zhan Chong was expressionless, but Li Jinghuan inexplicably felt a dangerous aura. Although his face was ugly, he did not lose his courtesy, "I dare not."

"then you……"

"Fourth brother," Li Jingyu was interrupted by Li Jinghuan before he finished speaking, "You go back first, Gu and General Zhan Chong still have something to talk about."

Last time, Zhan Chong's words lingered in his mind for a long time, and he never made sense. This time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to ask him what he meant.

"Second brother..." Li Jingyu glared at Zhan Chong unconvinced.

"Go back." Li Jinghuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay." Li Jingyu left helplessly.

Watching Li Jingyu's back leave, Li Jinghuan turned to look at Zhan Chong, and greeted him with a smile: "How is General Zhan Chong?"

Zhan Chong shook his head, "Not good."

"..."

Li Jinghuan was silent, why did this kind of cliché cause accidents when Zhan Chong came here!Shouldn't he have said "very good, don't bother His Highness the Crown Prince"?How do you answer this?Do you want to say to yourself, "I am relieved to see that you are not doing well"?

Seeing that the expression on Li Jinghuan's face became extremely complicated, Zhan Chong laughed lightly, and the fire that was burning in his heart when he saw the two getting close just now gradually extinguished.

Originally, he was very disappointed that Li Jinghuan had no complaints against the emperor in such a field, and what he said to the crown prince before seemed to have no effect, but after thinking about it, isn't the crown prince a good man? Could he still go and quarrel with the emperor?

"His Royal Highness, I heard that your investigation of debts at the Ministry of Accounts has been settled recently. I think His Highness will be free recently. I want to take this opportunity to host a banquet to invite His Highness. I wonder if His Highness would like to reward my face? "

"General Zhanchong is too polite. The general invites you so kindly. How could Gu refuse?" Both of their words were high-sounding, and it seemed like a picture that a monarch and his ministers wanted. What kind of friendship is it? It's just that each of them has ulterior motives. Now the situation is unstable, one wants to disturb the situation, and the other wants to stabilize the country.

Zhan Chong raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "It's an honor for you to agree, but I don't know when your highness will be free, or when your highness finishes dealing with the matter at hand, I will definitely hold a banquet to entertain your highness."

Li Jinghuan thought for a while and asked cautiously: "I don't know when General Zhan Chong will be free..."

Zhan Chong raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his stern face warmed up like spring wind and rain, "I am waiting for Your Highness at any time."

"That's it..." Li Jinghuan pondered for a moment, and tentatively said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, why not choose tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhan Chong's voice was much gentler.

……

Under the pressure of his second brother, Li Jingyu had no choice but to stride away with a cold face, and the breeze blew in his face, which made his mind clearer, so what if Zhan Chong heard it?The brothers didn't say anything that could be criticized by others, and if they didn't do anything wrong, they were naturally not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.It's just that Zhan Chong has been running to his second brother too frequently recently.

I heard from people in the palace before that Zhan Chong took his second brother out of the palace, and the two stayed outside for a whole day. ...

Could it be that Zhan Chong is going to attack the second brother now?Li Jingyu broke into a cold sweat from his thoughts, and squeezed his hand fiercely, as if he wanted to use the pain to drive that strange thought out of his mind...

When Zhan Chong returned to the mansion in the evening, Xu Xiang had been waiting in the study for a long time. Seeing him coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, "My villain greets the Major General."

"Get everything?"

"Yes, thanks to the Major General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been cautious, and it is rare to find his fault. However, the villain has a relative who sweeps the yard for people in the household department. The villain used some tricks to get these. Please take a look. .”

Zhan Chong took it and looked it over carefully, and asked coldly: "Does anyone else know about this?"

Seeing Zhan Chong's oppressive eyes, Xu Xiang broke into a cold sweat, and knelt down again in fear, "As soon as the villain got the news, he immediately sent it to the major general to make a decision. No one else has ever seen him."

Zhan Chong stared at him closely, "I remember, when your whole family died in the flood, I rescued you and pulled you up with one hand. Do you know why I rescued you?"

"Yes, the major general said, because the life of a villain is hard."

"That's right, this general never shows kindness indiscriminately, so you'd better be obedient, otherwise..."

Xu Xiang kowtowed on the ground, "Don't worry, Major General, the villain will definitely work for the Major General, even if the Major General wants the villain's life, the villain will never say anything."

"Okay, these," Zhan Chong weighed the things in his hands, looked at him with deep eyes, "you've never seen them before, don't mention them to anyone, you know?"

Xu Xiang trembled all over, "Yes."

The corners of Zhan Chong's lips hooked slightly, "Very well, let's go down."

"The villain will leave."

Xu Xiang walked out of the room slowly, Zhan Chong squinted his eyes, took off the lampshade, put the things in his hands on the fire, watched the tongue of fire slowly licking the paper, and smiled with satisfaction, "There will be no survivors."

A voice came from the empty room, "Yes."
