Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea in his hand, reached out and picked up a piece of candied fruit, and put it straight into his mouth.

This preserve is really sweet and delicious.

Glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao ordered in a calm tone: "I want to prepare for the wedding, so I will cancel the morning court from today. If there is nothing big, tell both inside and outside the court not to disturb me."

Going to court this time is actually enough. There is nothing in the court that needs to be solved by myself for the time being. I just need to wait and watch their excitement, and get married by the way.

To be honest, I am really looking forward to it. This is marrying three women at once.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed, turned around and left the palace to spread the news.

Zhu Youxiao was in an unprecedented good mood at this time. Everything was settled and he was waiting to watch the fun.

But this is not the case for others, especially Liu Yijing, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet. His mood can be described as very, very low.

Throughout today's court meeting, he felt that he was simply a model of failure.

First of all, regarding Zhao Nanxing's matter, he did not take him down in one fell swoop. His Majesty gave Zhao Nanxing the opportunity to investigate on his own. I don't know how long this matter will be delayed. Maybe I will be able to see it. It may not be that day.

As for Han Xu's matter, he could say that he could steal the chicken but lose the rice, which made Han Xu turn against him now. Just thinking about it made him very angry.

Not only that, the Donglin Party actually had a chance to make a comeback. Now that things have gotten to this point, I have lost all the opportunity?

It’s so frustrating!

Liu Yijing couldn't help but think of Zhang Yingdao, his good student. Because he believed in him so much, he actually dug a hole and buried his old Liu?

Zhang Yingdao is simply a maniac. He must be dealt with! If it weren't for him, why would he be so passive? He wouldn't dare to say anything in court!

If it weren't for Zhang Yingdao, he wouldn't have made dangerous moves to win over Han Xu, and in the end he would have become a stranger inside and outside.

Now it's okay. Han Xu jumped out by himself, leaving him alone here to sing. This scene will not be easy to sing.

As he walked towards the duty room of the cabinet, Han Xu had a sullen face, thinking that he would definitely ask Zhang Yingdao for clarification when he went to court.

Glancing to the right, Liu Yijing noticed that many people had gathered around Han Xu, and couldn't help snorting.

Many of these people are just outsiders. Seeing that Han Xu has gained power, they were the ones who took advantage of them in the past.

Liu Yijing snorted disdainfully.

A bunch of short-sighted things! Han Xu seems to be in the spotlight now, but there are dangers lurking behind him. If he wants to get to the top, he has to get through this time!

"Mr. Ge!"

At this time, Liu Yijing heard someone calling her, breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down her mood, made her expression look better, and then turned her head.

After seeing the person coming, the smile on Liu Yijing's face froze a little.

Because Liu Yijing found out that the person who came was Sun Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, this made him a little surprised.

Why is Sun Shenxing here? Is he here to add insult to injury?

Thinking of this, Liu Yijing's face darkened like a heavy dark cloud, and she said with a smile: "I wonder what brings Sun Shangshu here?"

Sun Shenxing was not impressed by Liu Yijing's attitude and continued to say with a smile: "Mr. Ge, the world in Ming Dynasty is so big and there are so many things. If things are like this today, who knows what things will be like tomorrow? Everyone is just taking one step at a time. Take a look. Sometimes friends will become enemies, but sometimes enemies will also become friends. Mr. Ge, what do you think?"

Although he was talking to Liu Yijing, Sun Shenxing's eyes were looking at Han Xu, who was surrounded by a crowd not far away.

After listening to Sun Shenxing's words, Liu Yijing confirmed one thing, that is, the Donglin Party did not have good intentions towards Han Xu.

They just made it clear that they would use Han Xu to eliminate some people, those who messed up things.

It is unclear whether the Donglin Party wanted to eliminate those people or whether Sun Shenxing wanted to eliminate them himself.

However, in Liu Yijing's opinion, it was Sun Shenxing who wanted to know who was in the way, so he pushed Han Xu out.

In this way, Han Xu's hand reaching out to the Donglin Party can be cut off, and at the same time there is an explanation within the Donglin Party, because it was not Sun Shenxing who did the matter.

In addition, the big bosses of the Lin Party in North Korea will be wiped out, and then Sun Shenxing will become the real leader.

Liu Yijing couldn't help but think of a possibility. Was Zhang Yingdao bribed by Sun Shenxing?

If this is really the case, then it is really possible that Sun Shenxing arranged the matter. In this way, Han Xu was completely trapped.

Looking at the whole thing, Sun Shenxing was the one who gained the most in the end. The Donglin Party eliminated some people, cut off Han Xu's hand, and expanded its own strength.

If his guess is correct, the next step for Sun Shenxing will be to win over other cabinet bachelors in order to seek to join the cabinet.

Or simply win over yourself and trick Han Xu out.

After thinking of this, Liu Yijing's face became a little uneasy.

Why didn't you realize that this old guy Sun Shenxing was so cunning before?

Now it seems that I have to be careful, maybe I will be tricked out.

Liu Yijing knew very well in her heart that everyone's ultimate goal was to be the first assistant bachelor of the cabinet.

Liu Yijing doesn't think that Sun Shenxing is not eyeing the position of chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet.

Once the plan to get this old guy into the cabinet succeeds, he might not be able to defeat Sun Shenxing.

Liu Yijing even determined to rebuild a good relationship with Han Xu.

"Some people never come back after they leave," Sun Shenxing said with a smile.

Perhaps because he knew what Liu Yijing was thinking, what Sun Shenxing said hurt Liu Yijing's heart.

"Mr. Ge, we have a long way to go." After Sun Shenxing said these words, he walked forward with a smile.

In fact, for Sun Shenxing, he didn't have to say these words at all, but he just said it.

Sun Shenxing's purpose was also very simple, he just wanted to scare Liu Yijing.

Sun Shenxing still knew something about the Ming Dynasty's chief minister, the bachelor. After scaring him, he must have gone to find Han Xu.

Not only would he not hook up with him, but he would go to Han Xu, thinking that Han Xu was a trustworthy person.

But at this time, if these two people get very close, nothing good will happen.

Take your time, no one is in a hurry, the fun will come later.

Compared to Liu Yijing and Sun Shenxing, Han Xu was not in a good mood.

After sending away those people who were holding stinky feet, the smile on Han Xu's face disappeared.

He was tricked several times today, and he was so happy that he felt like a ghost.

The Donglin Party dug a big hole for him, and Liu Yijing, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet, followed suit.

Han Xu felt particularly anxious.

Now I am in a dilemma. Everyone is watching me. The solved case has snowballed so big that it is simply a hot potato.

No matter what you do, you will always be unhappy on both sides.

If the investigation is too light, it will offend His Majesty, Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang, and even some people in the officialdom.

The people I want to offend are actually the people who want to overthrow the Donglin Party. Don't underestimate the strength of these people, there are always many of them.

If they investigate too lightly, they will misunderstand that they and the Donglin Party are wearing the same pants and are only doing superficial things. This may be what some people led by Liu Yijing want to see, and maybe Sun Shenxing also wants to see it.

this situation.

If I investigate this case too seriously, I will completely fall out with the Donglin Party, and they will be the ones I have to face. At the same time, I will also be disliked by many civil servants, including some neutral people, because I

It looks like he is leaning towards Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party.

This amount can be said to be quite sufficient, and Sun Shenxing reaped all the benefits.

No matter how you choose, Sun Shenxing can make a lot of money.

Treat it lightly and it can save the Donglin Party.

As the planner of the whole thing, Sun Shenxing naturally worked hard and won the support of many people. Those people would not be grateful to him, but they would definitely be grateful to Sun Shenxing.

If I deal with it seriously, then I, Old Han, will bear the blame, and all the benefits will go to him, Sun Shenxing.

The old guy Sun Shenxing could be said to be in an invincible position, which made Han Xu feel a little bit at a loss.

Han Xu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Nanxing, who was lagging behind.

Zhao Nanxing's situation should be similar now, right?

In fact, this was indeed the case, and Zhao Nanxing also felt that he was at a loss.

He was not tricked, but targeted.

Liu Yijing dug a hole directly and buried him. This was not the key issue. The key issue was that His Majesty followed the trend.

Now that the choice is before Zhao Nanxing, what should I do?

If you investigate ruthlessly, you will offend a large number of people. From top to bottom, everyone who takes advantage of the Ministry of Industry will be offended, without exception. There will be many of them.

People from the Donglin Party.

If you don't investigate ruthlessly, then Liu Yijing's impeachment will be confirmed. You are colluding, forming a party for personal gain, and embezzling money.

Look at Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian, look at Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, what is their fate now?

At this time, I can't even retreat even if I want to. It's simply impossible!
