The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

There are more Wusuli and Wuxuli in the courtyard, and there is a lot of vitality and vitality.

Every day Xu Qingfeng and Tianwen listened to Wusuli tell stories together.

Ussuri told stories from the south to the north. In addition to what he had seen and heard from various places, there were also all kinds of weird stories. Coupled with Ussuri's exaggerated expressions and movements, it was very fascinating.

And Wu Xuli changed into women's clothes to show her beauty. Although she is always shy, she can make delicious milk cakes, which conquered the stomachs of Xu Qingfeng and Tianwen at once. Even Chen Ke also praised her Can't stop talking.

Xu Shi talked to Chen Ke that day, and Xu Qingfeng no longer cared about whether he had changed, just like what Tianwen said, he was just asking for trouble.

The day after tomorrow is the day when we were supposed to leave for the west.

Xu Qingfeng walked into the study, and Chen Ke was listening to Guan Hongfeng's report of the newly received news today.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng, Chen Ke beckoned Xu Qingfeng to come over, and Xu Qingfeng graciously walked over to Chen Ke and sat down.

Chen Ke did not avoid Guan Hongfeng's presence, and put the season's fruit at Xu Qingfeng's hand before signaling Guan Hongfeng to continue.

Guan Hongfeng happened to be talking about the news that "Xu's house is still alive and Xu San is still alive" that was circulating in Beijing some time ago. I like the matter of Tabu's marriage."

Knowing that Chen Ke did not shy away from Xu Qingfeng, Guan Hongfeng said one thing without ambiguity, "But according to the investigation, the origin of the rumor is Liu Yinan, the second son of Mr. Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who claimed to have seen Mr. Xu."

"Liu Yinan?" Xu Qingfeng felt a little strange when he first heard this familiar name, "I had a good relationship with Liu Er "before I was alive", could it be that he mistook someone for me? "

"Under investigation." Chen Ke said lightly, "Any more news?"

"The emperor rejected the marriage proposal."

This is not surprising. Chen Ke also agrees with Chen Mao's approach. The first is that there is no suitable candidate for marriage. Their sisters have already married and moved to the princess mansion outside. Does the prince let him or the sixth child marry?

I am afraid that I will lose my status as a big country.And Chen Mao has no heirs now, but the harem is empty... It is estimated that Chen Mao does not want to find himself a foreign concubine.

"What about other than that?"

"Master Yan seems to have plans to reopen the treasury to take stock of the finances."

"Your Majesty Yan?"

"Exactly."

Chen Ke was leaning on the small table half-supported, and Xu Qingfeng was also thoughtful.

If I remember correctly, the treasury was opened for inspection at the beginning of this year.

"Since Yan Keqing became prime minister, has he opened the treasury four times?" Chen Ke recalled, this is something that previous prime ministers did not have, and even other people have never had it. I am afraid that it is unprecedented.

"There is nothing else."

"Well, back off."

Guan Hongfeng retreated obediently, while Chen Ke was still organizing his thoughts in his head.Before rebirth, Chen Ke and Yan Keqing still had a lot of intersections.

I have to admit that the dragon chair is still very attractive to Chen Ke. The more others say that he can't sit on it, the more he wants to sit on it for others to see.And the one person who has been helping him in activities secretly is Yan Keqing.

"Yan Xiang..." Xu Qingfeng said with deliberation, "I have been working on checking the account department and accounts. My father mentioned that Yan Xiang has corrected the distorted atmosphere in the account department, but it is also Yan who drives this atmosphere. Prime Minister's disciple."

What Xu Qingfeng said was the truth. Although Yan Keqing was young, he had many disciples. Among other things, Xu Zhongyi, Minister of the Household Department, was brought out by him alone, and now he is also a shining new star in the political arena.

But Chen Ke is concerned about another aspect: I also said earlier that Xu Qingfeng looks at the problem very thoroughly.

But as far as Chen Ke knew, Xu Qingfeng had never been an official, and he probably didn't know much about the twists and turns in the court hall. It was rare to hear him speak out on his own initiative.

Chen Ke was thinking about it in his heart. Every time he mentioned the case of Xu's mansion being ransacked and beheaded, Xu Qingfeng kept it secret.

At first, Chen Ke thought it was Xu Qingfeng who didn't want to think about sad things, but later found out that Xu Qingfeng had no intention of investigating the case and rectifying the Xu family's case at all.

"Do you have any clue about the case of the Xu Mansion? Or who you suspect?"

When asked this question unexpectedly, Xu Qingfeng was startled for a moment, then got up straight and knelt down, with a tragic expression, which seemed to be deathly: "Xu Qingfeng has something to ask, please give me your permission."

Chen Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Xu Qingfeng, frowning to frighten him: "Get up! Just say what you want."

"My lord promised, I will get up again."

"Yes, yes." Chen Ke said with a dark face, "You've got a lot of skills, and you're coercing me?"

"Qingfeng doesn't dare." Xu Qingfeng took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "Please don't investigate the case of the Xu Mansion, my lord. 88 people were killed, and my Xu Mansion deserves it."

"Should it be?" Chen Ke raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Xu Daning really has the intention of treason?"

"My father never had one!"

"Then why not correct your name?"

"Since the prince has already agreed to me, don't ask any more questions."

This is not Xu Qingfeng's faking for a while, but a decision made after a long time of dreaming in the middle of the night, in order to seek peace of mind, and to restart life.

"My lord, my father has an order, "If the family of the Xu family is ruined, don't pursue it. Take the silk book and leave the capital, someone will eventually find me and give me a result."

"Who is that person?"

"I don't know."

"Then you don't want to know the truth?"

"Think." Xu Qingfeng looked directly at Chen Ke, without flinching: "So at that time, I infiltrated the palace under my name, and usually covered my face with fake scars. The truth, but after knowing the truth..."

"You already know who is behind the scenes?"

"know."

Chen Ke didn't answer, and looked at Xu Qingfeng's expression, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xu Qingfeng also looked directly at Chen Ke, with a very firm attitude.

At first, Chen Ke had two guesses. The first was that Xu Dining really had the intention of treason, so Xu Qingfeng had no intention of overturning the case.But if this is the case, Xu Qingfeng's attitude is very intriguing.

Chen Ke is more inclined to the second guess: the case of Xu Daning's rebellion is false, he was framed by someone, and there is a deeper hidden story behind it, but Xu Qingfeng can't say.

But unexpectedly, in just one year, Xu Qingfeng had already found out the results of his investigation, so what exactly was Xu Qingfeng trying to hide?

But Xu Qingfeng didn't want to say it, Chen Ke wasn't angry, he could check it himself.In fact, Xu Qingfeng has revealed many clues in his words.

For example, Xu Qingfeng was in the palace when he learned the truth. For example, what made Xu Qingfeng secret the most was the reason why he lost his mind.

The longer Chen Ke remained silent, the paler Xu Qingfeng's face became, and his palms were clenched tightly.

After pulling Xu Qingfeng up from the ground, Chen Ke said, "I know."

If he didn't have a deep understanding of what kind of person Xu Qingfeng is, Chen Ke would not have such patience.

Pulling Xu Qingfeng's hand and opening his fist, seeing the bloodstains engraved by the nails in the palm, Chen Ke frowned unhappily, "Since what I said is up to you, don't do this next time."

"Yeah." Lowering his head, Xu Qingfeng blinked, holding back his tears. "My lord..."

"My lord!" Eunuch Quan rushed into the Lingering Garden, "The imperial decree has arrived—"

imperial decree?Chen Ke looked at Xu Qingfeng and saw the same surprise.

Xu Qingfeng suddenly tugged at Chen Ke's sleeve, and suddenly said, "No, it can't be a marriage, right?"

Chen Ke couldn't help but tap Xu Qingfeng's forehead with his index finger.

"My lord! Hurry up and accept the order!" Eunuch Quan ran into the study and urged him loudly.

"Let's go." Nodding in agreement, Chen Ke strode out, pulling Xu Qingfeng.

This time it was Eunuch Kang who came back to declare the decree.Seeing King Ren finally appeared, Eunuch Kang showed his usual smile, opened the imperial decree calmly and read out:

"Follow the heavens;

The emperor's imperial edict said: I only rule the world with literature, and put an end to chaos with military force.And the commander-in-chief Rong will be the mainstay of the imperial court and the backbone of the country.

King Ren is capable of both civil and military affairs, and his salary is as high as Dan.The rebels from the Devil's Cult are disturbing my peace today, and your support from the past and the present is quite pastoral, and they are close to being forbidden.Zite grants Er to investigate the matter and arrest the key criminals, Wei Zhenyi Di, Qin Zai. "

To capture the Demon Cult?Did you hear me right?

Everyone present was startled, but Chen Ke didn't respond for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Minister, accept the order."

Eunuch Kang had been waiting anxiously for Chen Ke's reaction, fearing that King Ren would be unhappy, so he packed the imperial decree and "escorted" him back to Beijing.

Finally heaved a sigh of relief, Eunuch Kang handed over the imperial decree to Chen Ke, saluted respectfully, and was anxious to return to Beijing.

Chen Ke doesn't care about him, the whole father will make arrangements for himself.

It's just that the edict... Chen Ke also felt a little baffled, but it was better than letting him marry.

"Investigate the Demon Cult?" Xu Qingfeng also doubted his ears.Although he didn't say it clearly, Xu Qingfeng also thought that the new emperor Chen Mao and Ren Wang had always been at odds, and would treat them as if they didn't exist.

Maybe the turmoil in the world like the Devil's Cult is not considered government affairs?But it is also very strange for a prince to suddenly step into the rivers and lakes.

After browsing the imperial decree again, Chen Ke casually handed him to Lin Feng who was beside him, "Left and right must go west, let's check it by the way."

"By the way?"

It was supposed that Xu Qingfeng wanted to wander the rivers and lakes at will. This time, he took Tian Wen to find the master of the law, and the second was to find the golden bell flower to relieve the poison on his body.

Since the westbound destinations are the same, and the Demon Cult came from the west, why not check the Demon Cult?

Chen Ke took Xu Qingfeng's hand and walked back: "Well, by the way."
