After fighting with the prince in Yanjing for so long, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue certainly had an extremely deep understanding of the court. Then, he could naturally hear what Chi Hou said.

In the court, the prince is in great power.

It is basically unlikely to take over the position of Minister of Justice in the court. So the only way is to let the emperor decide to decide the Minister of Justice himself.

As for the so-called "sacred heart" that it does not mean that the Lord can obey the words, but trust, a kind of trust that truly comes from the heart.

So……

As Chi Hou said, in Yanjing City, there are only three people who can truly gain the trust of the emperor, or more precisely, two and a half people.

First, the Zheng Yuanguo, the Zhenguo Mansion, is the head of Xingguo Mansion. As the thirteen palaces and the pillar of the dynasty, the emperor naturally does not need to say much about the trust of Xingyuan Mansion.

However, Xingyuan Kingdom has never been involved in party disputes. The reason behind this is related to Xingyuan Kingdom's character, but more importantly, Xingyuan Kingdom does not need it.

Because no matter who ends up as the throne, it is impossible to regard Zhenguo Mansion as a major concern, and Zhenguo Mansion will only be loyal to those who sit on the throne.

However, in this way, it is also unlikely to get support from Zhenguo Mansion before ascending the throne.

And to talk about the remaining one and a half...

That half is also unattainable, because that half is the left prime minister Yu Yiping. As the auxiliary of the dynasty, the left prime minister Yu Yiping knew the holy heart well and naturally could gain the trust of the saint.

However, the left prime minister Yu Yiping has been in a deep state over the years. It is precisely because it has been too deep that the emperor only believes half of the words of the left prime minister Yu Yiping.

As for the last one...

"Mr. Hou thinks that I can still walk around now, but it's still time?" After Duan Lin Xinjue understood this, he asked again.

After fighting with the prince for so many years, Lin Xinjue is too familiar with his brother. If nothing unexpected happens, he will join hands with all officials to recommend a new candidate for the Minister of Justice.

"I don't know, but it's better to walk around than not." Chi Hou shook his head, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"I understand, then I will prepare now." When Duan Wang Lin Xinjue heard this, he looked at Mr. Hua and Mr. Wen. After seeing that both of them nodded, he quickly said.

"Your Highness is trouble." Chi Hou was still drinking tea on his own as if he had not noticed Duan Wang Lin Xinjue's actions.

...

The next day, early morning.

The prince Lin Tianrong went to the palace waiting hall early in wearing the court robes of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, and the left prime minister Yu Yiping and all the civil and military officials also came very early.

Everyone was talking in a low voice.

Duan Wang Lin Xinjue and Chi Hou arrived one after another, so they naturally saw this at a glance, but the expressions of both of them did not change at all.

Next, all the civil and military officials stopped talking and began to come over to greet Chi Hou one by one, and gave various invitations to Chi Hou.

Some invited the Chi Hou to come to the mansion to have a chat, some invited the Chi Hou to race horses and hunt, and some invited the Chi Hou to taste wine and tea...

Time is spent in invitations and being invited.

The morning court was getting closer and closer. Just as everyone stopped and waiting for the morning court to begin, Eunuch Wei, dressed in palace clothes, walked in from outside the door.

"The emperor is in good health, so I won't go to court early today!" A slightly sharp voice instantly made various expressions appear on the faces of civil and military officials.

"Eunuch Wei, the emperor was fine yesterday, why did he get sick today?" After receiving the gesture of the left prime minister Yu Yiping, a court official quickly walked to the door and asked Eunuch Wei softly.

"Who is right when you are sick, who can tell me this right? Yes, Lord Li?" Eunuch Wei looked at the left prime minister Yu Yiping in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally replied.

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Wei said very well, but we really have important things to discuss with the emperor today. I wonder if the emperor's illness is serious?"

"The imperial physician diagnosed that it would take two or three days at a minimum, and five or six days at a minimum."

"Oh, then I'll be relieved to wait. I just don't know where the emperor is recuperating now. If it's convenient for Eunuch Wei, can I help me with a memorial..."

"The emperor is in the palace of Concubine Hua Concubine. If Lord Li wants to hand over the memorial, he can kneel at the gate of Concubine Hua Concubine Hua Concubine" Eunuch Wei waved his hand without waiting for Lord Li to finish speaking.

"Ahem, since the emperor is in the palace of the concubine Huaxian, it is natural that we cannot disturb us. We should wait until the emperor recovers from the dragon body before making a report."

"The emperor is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to take care of him, so he will say goodbye first!"

"Eunuch Wei walks slowly!"

As Eunuch Wei left with everyone, Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's brows also frowned slightly, and his eyes seemed to be thinking: "Concubine Hua..."

...

The emperor did not pay early court, so the matter of proposing a new candidate for the Ministry of Justice could only be temporarily suppressed, and even Wan Chong's case was also suppressed.

After all, Wan Chong is a great minister after all. Even if the evidence of the crime is conclusive, it is still impossible to truly make a decision without the instruction of the emperor.

This also brought Yan Jingcheng into a superficial calm, but everyone knew that under this superficial calm, what was hidden was an undercurrent.

The new Minister of Justice was not decided for a day, and the court officials related to the Wanchong case were unable to rest for a day. They were eager to move towards the position of Minister of Justice, and the court officials who had been peeping for a long time also began to walk around.

In Yanjing, countless carriages shuttled through, and from time to time, two carriages collided with each other. Then, scenes of servants squirting each other naturally took place.

"Go aside, dare to stop the carriage of Li's mansion, and live impatiently!"

"Li Mansion? What is Li Mansion? You don't open your dog's eyes and see who is sitting in this carriage. If you don't retreat aside, you will remove your car wheel today!"

"Oh, what a big tone, I have a gossip, you guys come and tear it down!"

"Okay, today I will let your Li family see the methods of our Zhang family. Why are you still standing there? Get off his car wheel!"

"The little Zhang family dares to be arrogant? Scout the guy!"

“…”

When countless carriages were rampant, the door of a mansion was extremely open, with no noise, and no carriage dared to stay in front of this mansion for too long.

Because, above the door of this mansion, there is a golden plaque with three big characters written on it.

Pingyang Mansion!

This place is next to the wall of the palace and is located in the center of Yanjing City, but it is a place that all officials would rather take a detour.

But at this moment, a carriage that was not big or small slowly drove from a distance, and finally stopped steadily at the door of the mansion.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a silk dress jumped off the carriage. After a pair of thief-like eyes looked around, a smile flashed on his face.

"Hey, this guy, please come to the mansion and report, I'm here to find Lord Fang!" The young man quickly walked to the door of Pingyang Mansion and said to the golden armored sergeant guarding the door of the mansion.

Then, the young man's hand shook and he also shook a silver ingot the size of a fingernail.

"Master Fang, who is Madam Fang?" The golden armored sergeant replied without even looking at the silver ingot in the young man's hand.

"Of course it's Fang Zhengzheng, Lord Fang!" said the young man with a look of course.

"I understand." The golden-armored sergeant nodded, then shook his eyes at a golden-armored sergeant in the mansion gate, and suddenly, he heard a "clang" sound.

It was like a flood in Pingyang Mansion, with more than twenty golden armored soldiers gushing out. Each golden armored soldiers didn't even hesitate for a moment. They grabbed the young man and pressed it to the ground.

The young man's face was completely confused.

However, when those fists fell on him like raindrops, he was no longer confused, but was very awake, with bright light flashing in his eyes.

"I was wrong. I came to find Fang Zhengzheng. My name is Wen Dabao!"

"Oh, are you here to find Mr. Fang? You'll say it earlier!" More than 20 golden-armored soldiers stopped one by one when they heard the young man's words.

Wen Dabao felt very distressed, but, he didn't say anything, he just wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then turned over and got up from the ground.

"Can you help inform me now?"

"Of course, please wait, Mr. Wen." The golden-armored sergeant nodded, then picked up the silver ingots that fell from Wen Dabao's hand and stuffed them into his arms without any trace.

"..." Wen Dabao looked at this scene and felt a little more painful.

Fortunately, the Golden Armored Soldier did not stop after collecting the silver. After saying that, he quickly informed the mansion.

...

In Pingyang Mansion, in a beautiful courtyard.

A blue long gown lying straight on her back on a chair covered with precious fur, her thighs raised and her eyes narrowed slightly to bask in the sun.

Next to Fang Zhengzhi, there was Pingyang sitting, wearing a red long skirt, and his hands slightly supported his head, just looking at Fang Zhengzhi quietly.

As for Yan Xiu, he was sitting quietly behind a desk not far away, holding a pen in his hand, and writing on the white paper in front of him with a cold face.

This is a sunny and extremely harmonious scene.

But at this moment, a golden armored sergeant flashed and appeared at the gate of the courtyard. However, when the golden armored sergeant saw this scene at a glance, his steps immediately stopped.

"Your Highness, Princess Fang, Prince Yan, Wen Dabao is here."

“…”

No sound.

Whether it was Pingyang, Fang Zhengzhen, or Yan Xiu, it seemed that he had never heard the words of the Golden Armored Soldier, and no one spoke.

There was no change in the movement.

The Golden Armored Sergeant waited patiently for a quarter of an hour...

However, no one still paid attention to it.

"Well, Your Highness, Princess Fang, Prince Yan, Wen Dabao is here." The Golden Armored Sergeant had to raise the volume a little bit again.

“…”
