Chapter 329, Your Majesty, your cowardly face

"who!"

Zhao Yun was shocked and shouted loudly.

But at this moment, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing on his face, and his body suddenly retreated backwards, sank slightly, and he was already sitting on the ground.

A little light shone, and then, in the dark hall, Zhang Chen's face slowly appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I am just a little monk, but you are the king of a country. If you miss yourself because of such a little beauty, it would be worth it!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

When Zhao Yun saw such a monk talking nonsense in front of him, he was furious in his heart. Even the timidity was suppressed instantly. He quickly stood up and shouted at Zhang Chen, "Who are you? You dare to trek into the palace and talk nonsense. Where is the guard in front of the imperial court? Take it down for me!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already solved the imperial guards arranged by Shi Xiang for you. You can speak freely and worry about being heard by them." Zhang Chen said.

Zhao Yun then rang out. His imperial guards were arranged by Shi Miyuan, nominally for protection, but in essence, they were monitoring him, the puppet emperor.

He couldn't help feeling a sense of depression in his heart.

It would be fine if you unexpectedly gain the emperor without gaining relative power, but at this time, facing such a situation, you are useless to even be close to someone.

What a great shame this is!

Zhang Chen seemed to notice the anger on Zhao Yun's face, and he said, "Your Majesty, don't you be angry. Isn't this just here to help you?"

"What does it mean?" Zhao Yun sneered, "What can you do for me?"

Zhang Chen said, "Help you destroy Shi Miyuan, help you regain the power that the emperor should have, and then help you settle down in the Southern Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Yun was already in his heart, and he raised his head and looked at Zhang Chen with a suspicion, "Who are you?"

"I said. I am just a monk. The emperor, please be sure to believe me. I am just trying to serve you, the emperor." Zhang Chen grinned.

But Zhao Yun is not an idiot, how could he easily believe him?

Zhao Yun knew Zhang Chen's strength, so he did not refuse directly. Instead, he asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"It's very simple. I need you to set up a special institution outside the Dali Temple. For the emperor, you will specifically observe and organize corrupt officials in the court and collude with spies to make the officialdom of the Southern Song Dynasty more pure and easier for the emperor to control it!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Zhao Yun sneered, thinking that this person is really childish.

"I don't have such power at all. If I rashly build such an institution, wouldn't it be given to the Prime Minister Shi for nothing?" Zhao Yun said.

"Yes, we just want to send it to the hands of the Xiang Shi. If it weren't for this, how could we achieve our lifetime reputation?" Zhang Chen said.

Zhao Yun was slightly shocked and suddenly felt that Zhang Chen's words were not so simple. He hurriedly asked, "Why should I give it to Shi Xiang? What does this have to do with us?"

"If you don't give it to Shi Xiang, how can the officials in the court know that this institution has a strong means of destroying relatives for justice?" Zhang Chen smiled, "If it weren't for this, how can the officials know that there are such a group of honest loyal ministers in our Southern Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Yun's face finally began to change a little.

The muscles on his face trembled slightly, and a look of terrified expression could be clearly seen in his eyes, but after that, there were countless excitement and tension!

He knew that Zhang Chen meant that he wanted to use this newly established institution to kill Shi Miyuan!

Zhao Yun knew that there were 180 people in his heart who were willing to die in Shi Mi.

But he knew better that at this time, he did not even have the power to move one-tenth of Shi Miyuan!

Zhao Yun began to hesitate. He didn't know whether he should trust Zhang Chen. He didn't know whether he really made a decision, then in the end, should he regain power or Shi Miyuan gain greater power.

But Zhang Chen didn't wait for him.

"Prince, please make a decision quickly!" Zhang Chen said, "I don't want others to know about today's matters. If you can't give me an answer, I can only let Shi Xiang choose another emperor!"

This is no different from a threat.

But for Zhao Yun, such a threat made him make the decision at the fastest speed!

"I promise you!" Zhao Yun stared at Zhang Chen coldly and said, "As long as you can kill Shi Xiang, I promise you everything!"

What else can an emperor who even lives in the hands of others?

So what if it fails?

I used this bet, and I won and soared to the sky. If I lost, I would lose to where else!

"What are you going to call this institution?" Zhao Yun asked.

Zhang Chen touched his chin, "It's called Shenhou Mansion. Your Majesty, please call me Zhuge Shenhou!"

...

The next day, the court meeting.

Zhao Yun rarely showed a full of energy, which made Shi Miyuan feel a burst of doubts.

It is also because of this that after the ministers described the important matters, Shi Miyuan immediately asked, "I think the emperor is in good mood. Could it be that there is any happy event?"

"Old fox!" Zhao Yun cursed in his heart.

But his face was filled with a smile and said, "I met a strange person yesterday. I talked with him all night and gained something. Naturally, I was much happier."

"Oh, but I don't know which master it is?" Shi Miyuan muttered in his heart, thinking that yesterday, Zhao Yun clearly recruited prostitutes to enter the palace, so why did he meet a strange person?

But I heard Zhao Yun say, "Come on, help me pass on Mr. Zhuge's visit!"

The eunuchs passed this instruction one by one. Soon, a man wearing Taoist robe and facing an ordinary but extraordinary momentum walked into the hall.

This person is Zhang Chen.

He had a wig on his head and changed into a Taoist robe. I am afraid that even if the Mongolian colleagues came in person, they might not be able to recognize who he was.

Shaking his head and walking to the emperor, Zhao Yun's thin hands came to the time to hold Zhang Chen's right hand and said excitedly, "My Song Kingdom has been declining in recent years. I have been thinking about it every day, but I have never been able to figure it out. I heard Mr. Zhuge's words yesterday and then realized that Song Kingdom is not weak. But it was extremely weak because of being corrupt by a group of corrupt officials!"

Shi Miyuan laughed secretly when he heard this.

He is a powerful minister, but he is also a capable minister, and he is the most familiar with the situation in the Song Dynasty.

The weakness of the Song Dynasty was the weakness that had been possessed at the beginning of its establishment, and its root was the physical constitution. It has long been unable to be eradicated now. If I really believe it, it was because of corrupt officials, which led to the weakening of national strength. That was the idiot.

However, he became much more interested in Zhang Chen because of this, "This man wants to know everything. He said this just to fool the emperor, right?"

But Zhao Yun then said, "I am thinking that our Song Dynasty is really weak in the management of officials in the court. Although Dali Temple is doing a lot of hard work, how many corrupt officials can be solved by protecting each other? Therefore, it is better to innovate and re-engineer an institution that specializes in dealing with such corrupt officials and even those who have an affair with enemies."

"Mr. Zhuge is not only very knowledgeable, but also has great martial arts skills. I think it would be the most appropriate if Mr. Zhuge came to build this institution!" Zhao Yun was content with ease and slowly spit out all this.

However, the faces of His Highness and all the ministers changed drastically, and they all thought in their hearts, "The institution, is this planning to cut off the power of the Prime Minister Shi!"

Shi Miyuan was also uncomfortable, thinking that he was good at treating the emperor, why did he raise another ungrateful wolf?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and continued, "So, I want Mr. Zhuge to establish the Shenhou Mansion and arbitrarily determine the cases of officials. However, Mr. Zhuge is not a person in the officialdom and is not clear about many things. Therefore, Shi Xiang, I will trouble you!"

Shi Miyuan couldn't stop complaining, and when he heard Zhao Yun's words, he was stunned.

He looked at Zhao Yun blankly, but saw Zhao Yun with a warm smile, "Suce Shi, everything about this Shenhou Mansion will be left to you to assist in the construction. If something goes wrong then, I will only ask you!"

After the court meeting ended, Shi Miyuan was still confused.

He couldn't understand why Zhao Yun came to himself for no reason and added a lot of power to himself for no reason?

But as a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years, Shi Miyuan understands very well that he should not think so much at this time.

He quickly invited Zhang Chen to his mansion.

"Mr. Zhuge, you are a little inconvenient when you are here in this capital. These things are my little gifts, so please be sure to keep them." Shi Miyuan pushed Zhang Chen a small box and said with a smile.

Zhang Chen opened it and saw that there were ten silver notes of ten thousand taels of silver in it, and his face changed suddenly, "Shi Xiang, this is not possible. I established the Shenhou Mansion to govern corruption. If I accept your gift, what else can I use to govern the officialdom?"

Shi Miyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge, what you said, my money was to support your Shenhou Mansion, to govern officials and for the public. You can't think wrongly!"

"This is wrong with mine." Zhang Chen said.

He could hear that Shi Miyuan's words meant "If you don't know the money, it would be evidence of your corruption", but he pretended not to understand and quietly waited for Shi Miyuan's move.

Shi Miyuan naturally has a backup plan.

The silver bill is a carrot, but that big stick that has not yet come down!

He took Zhang Chen into his backyard and walked into the time. A group of men of all kinds appeared quickly in front of the two of them and stood in two rows.

Although these people are of different heights, they are all extraordinary in power, and they are obviously not ordinary people!

"Shi Xiang, what are these?" Zhang Chen asked.

"This is my guardian. I heard from the emperor that Mr. Zhuge has extremely high martial arts skills, but I don't know if I can help me see how good these people are?" Shi Miyuan said with a smile.

He stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes tightly, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

"Look at your dog's eyes widen your eyes and see, these people's martial arts are much higher than yours!" (To be continued...)
