Chapter 404: Emperor Fu is a little worried
Fu Di and He Zhiyuan were absent-minded when they were talking, and they looked at each other from time to time.
Recently, rumors about this beloved minister have been flying everywhere and have even reached the palace.
Yesterday he heard two reckless young palace maids gossiping in the Imperial Garden, and they even dared to bring it up with him.
It is said that He Zhiyuan has not married for many years, and is loyal to him and devoted to teaching the second prince, so he must have feelings for him.
Emperor Fu was so angry that he beat the two young palace maids to death with a stick.
but……
He couldn't help feeling a little suspicious now.
"Your Majesty, is there something on my face?" He Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.
Emperor Fu put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at him meaningfully.
"My dear, if you have any questions, please tell me and I will definitely help you."
He Zhiyuan didn't understand what Emperor Fu meant for a moment, "Your Majesty, if there is something I can't do, I will always tell you."
Emperor Fu found that beating around the bush seemed to be useless, so he could only ask in a low voice, "You haven't married for so many years, you only support your nephew, and you don't have any offspring yourself, what's going on?"
“……” There was a moment of confusion in He Zhiyuan’s eyes.
Emperor Fu continued, "If you really don't like women, I can choose a pretty one for you... Prince Chen's father-in-law is not young anymore, what good is there in him?"
"..." He Zhiyuan's face turned completely dark.
He had rarely felt regret in his life, but now his chest was filled with remorse and anger.
If he had known that Jiang was so crazy, he would never have approached Shen Jianglin.
His reputation was totally ruined.
In the past, even if someone suspected him behind his back, they never dared to say it openly.
Ever since Jiang started shouting so loudly on the street, everyone looks at him differently now.
He Zhiyuan looked up and saw that there were obviously more palace servants in the imperial study, and he felt anger surging in his chest.
What does the emperor mean?
Are you guarding against him?!
"Your Majesty, Shen Jianglin and I are innocent..." After saying this, he saw an ambiguous expression on the emperor's face.
Suddenly I felt that the word "innocent" had become unclear.
He said he was confused and angry.
There is no such thing as emphasizing innocence with men.
He Zhiyuan let out a deep breath.
Don't be angry!
The woman that day clearly intended to ruin his reputation. If he had gotten angry, he would have fallen into her trap.
He must make that woman die!
Emperor Fu had an expression that said, "My dear, no matter what, you are still the Prime Minister I value most."
This game of chess cannot be played any further.
He Zhiyuan took his leave in a hurry, and his back looked a little embarrassed as he left the palace.
Two more days passed.
There has been new progress in He Zhiyuan's hobbies.
"Have you heard? Prime Minister He's courtship failed and frightened Prince Chen's father-in-law into becoming ill. I heard he has become idiot."
"Oh my God, what a sin."
"That's right. He's a good and decent man with a wife and children. How could he be so careless as to hang out with a man?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
He Zhiyuan's staff tried every means to suppress the rumors.
But this kind of rumor is so strange. The more you try to suppress it and explain it, the more people will think it is true.
If there is no problem, why rush to explain?
He Zhiyuan was so angry that he fell ill.
The second prince came to visit him specially.
"Prime Minister, this is Prince Chen's conspiracy. You must not be fooled. Otherwise, if something happens to you, they will be the ones to blame." Fu Yuxuan sat beside the bed, looking at He Zhiyuan worriedly.
On his road to succession, He Zhiyuan was his greatest helper, and he didn't want anything to happen to He Zhiyuan.
He Zhiyuan coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am fine."
Fu Yuxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that He Zhiyuan did not look seriously ill.
"Prime Minister, we can't continue to let Prince Chen become more powerful." It was already difficult for them to deal with Queen Ruan and the Crown Prince, and now with Prince Chen added, they had to strike first.
He Zhiyuan said coldly, "I have already thought of a way."
Fu Yuxuan sat up straight, his eyes full of expectation, "What can the Prime Minister do?"
"Second Prince, take a look at these." He Zhiyuan took out a booklet.
"This is..." After just a few glances, Fu Yuxuan expressed his confusion. Isn't this an account book?
He Zhiyuan smiled, "Evidence of selling official positions and titles."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. If someone reports the Nguyen family and Queen Nguyen for selling official positions and titles, no matter how many military merits the Nguyen family has, it will not be able to offset such a serious crime."
Fu Yuxuan immediately became excited. If he could overthrow Queen Ruan and Prime Minister Ruan, then the Crown Prince and Prince Chen would not be his match at all.
"I will take the evidence to the Dali Temple tomorrow."
He Zhiyuan shook his head, "No."
"We cannot hand over this evidence. You will sit on the throne in a just and upright manner in the future. You cannot leave any evidence that could be used to criticize you."
Fu Yuxuan should not be accused of framing his ministers and brothers.
"So what should we do?" Fu Yuxuan asked.
He Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Find a suitable person to put the evidence in Prince Chen's mansion."
In fact, it could have been kept in Ruan's house, but he also wanted to ensure that Prince Chen would have no chance to turn things around.
Fu Yuxuan was full of admiration for He Zhiyuan, "I will listen to Prime Minister He."
……
Shen Suian tested Shen Jianglin for two days.
Finally confirmed that he was really beaten stupid.
It's just... incomprehensible.
Zhou Zhou also came to take Shen Jianglin's pulse and said that Shen Jianglin might have been hit by a stick and had blood clots in his brain. In order to return to normal, the blood clots in his brain had to dissolve.
If combined with acupuncture, the blood stasis can be eliminated faster.
Shen Sui'an asked Zhou Zhou not to give Shen Jianglin acupuncture on the grounds that Zhou Zhou still had to treat Ruan Xiuyuan's leg.
So be it.
pretty good.
As for Shen Siyi and Shen Mingyao, Shen Sui'an showed no mercy and immediately had them sent away.
"If you want to get married in the future, I can find you a family in Yong Dynasty and let you live a peaceful life. But if you cause trouble again, you will have to live in the old house for the rest of your life."
"And you." Shen Suian looked at Shen Mingyao with an expressionless face.
She knew that this half-brother was full of hatred towards her.
So what? She never regretted crippling his hand. If his last name wasn't Shen, he would have died long ago.
"The same goes for you. I will send Aunt Cheng to keep you company. If you do anything out of line, the people I leave in the old house can execute you first."
Shen Mingyao's face turned pale.
He knew very well that their lives were now completely in Shen Sui'an's hands.
Unless he is strong enough, he will never be able to compete with her.
"Send him away." Shen Sui'an said.
Shen Siyi cried bitterly, "I won't leave, I won't leave, Dad, I want to stay and take care of you."
The brother and sister were sent back to the Shen family's old house. At first, they refused to give up and wanted to find a chance to turn things around, but they failed again and again and were punished so much that they no longer had the will to fight.
