Chapter 1637 Schadenfreude
In the Imperial City Office, the gorgeous car stopped slowly, and the attendants just set up the steps. After hearing the news, Wang Shouzhong hurried up to greet him, and graciously helped Zhang Dejun get off the car.

Although he is still in good health, Zhang Dejun still feels very relieved by the thoughtful service of his adopted son, and he does not refuse, allowing him to help him get out of the car.

It was obvious that Zhang Dejun was preoccupied with something, and the expression on his face was rich and contemplative, but it also gave people a feeling of happiness rather than happiness, worry rather than worry.

As the adoptive son and subordinate who has served Zhang Dejun for a long time, Wang Shouzhong could naturally sense Zhang Dejun's strangeness, and while helping him to the Yamen, he asked carefully, "Father, is there something wrong with your Majesty calling you this time?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dejun turned his head to look at him, and said with a light smile, "You are smart! It's not a big deal, but you were questioned by the officials and scolded severely!"

Wang Shouzhong was surprised when he heard the words. He observed Zhang Dejun's indifferent expression and asked solemnly, "Why? Could it be because of the Hexi case?"

Zhang Dejun shook his head: "For the affairs of Hexi, the Department of Wu De takes the lead, and the Department of Huangcheng assists. If the errands are completed, we will have merit.

"Why is that?" Wang Shouzhong seemed to take it very seriously.

Zhang Dejun's wealth comes from Emperor Liu, and their glory comes from Zhang Dejun. When he heard that his adoptive father was scolded by the emperor, he was naturally nervous. For so many years, Zhang Dejun was rarely scolded by the emperor, and once it happened, it would definitely be a big problem .

Wang Shouzhong had only one thought in his mind at this time, but don't fall out of favor, otherwise what would they do?
"Let's talk in the office!" Seeing that Wang Shouzhong was more nervous than himself, Zhang Dejun smiled and pointed forward.

After returning to the yamen, he went straight to the yamen hall where Zhang Dejun handled his official duties. The servants poured clean water, Wang Shouzhong personally squeezed a towel and handed it to Zhang Dejun, and brought a cup of tea, and offered it respectfully with both hands.

Seeing Wang Shouzhong's attentive appearance for ten years, he seemed to see the appearance of him serving Emperor Liu, and said with emotion: "In terms of rank, you are also a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. You serve me like a servant all day, but you are wronged." Already!"

In this regard, Wang Shouzhong made a sincere speech, expressing his filial piety.The relationship between father and son is obviously based on wealth and glory, but they insist on showing a deep love between father and son.

Zhang Dejun smiled, and talked about the topic of talent just now: "It is true that the official Tianwei is terrified, but I am happy that Wang Yinwu is not far from death. Right!"

Hearing what Zhang Dejun said, Wang Shouzhong was slightly surprised, and a smile appeared on his "honest" face, and he asked for advice: "If so, it would be a happy event, and the joy comes from heaven! But, for various reasons, I ask my father to enlighten me."

After observing the surrounding area, Zhang Dejun lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "The matter of Wang Yinwu's collusion with Lu Duoxun happened, and it was known to the officials. Tell me, how can the officials not be furious? That thief How can it be long!"

Wang Shouzhong was stunned, but he quickly frowned: "So that's the case! However, there have been signs of this matter. The relationship between the two of them is not a secret in the court, and His Majesty has known about it for a long time."

"That's because you don't know how deep the collusion between these two is!" Zhang Dejun sighed.

"Why did Datian hear about this all of a sudden? We didn't hear any news before the incident!" Wang Shouzhong wondered.

Mentioning this, Zhang Dejun showed a pity expression on his face, and said: "It was Wang Yinwu who took the initiative to enter the palace and confess this matter to the officials! It's a pity, if someone reports and exposes him, he may have already lost his head! I It has long been seen that a warrior like Wang Yinwu has a deep friendship with ministers, even if he acts like a friend of a gentleman, it is a way to bring disaster.

When he came back from the northwest during the festival, he said that Lu Duoxun and Wang Yinwu had been working together in Hexi, and the root of this disaster had been planted long ago.

I was so jealous of this person before, but I still think highly of him. Can a smart person do such a taboo thing? "

Seeing that Zhang Dejun was happy, Wang Shouzhong also smiled and said: "Father is still wise, and Wang Yinwu has been against us all the time. Now, it is also a punishment from God to ask for disaster!"

Zhang Dejun shook his head, his smile gradually subsided, and he still looked like he had missed a good opportunity, and said: "The matter of Wang Yinwu and Lu Duoxun, I thought it could be brewed for a while, and the longer it drags on, the more serious the situation will be when it explodes. enough to kill it.

However, this guy didn't know what went wrong, and he stabbed it to the officials himself, which made us lose a sharp knife in our hands to deal with him! "

"Why does Your Majesty blame you?" Wang Shouzhong couldn't help asking as thoughts flashed in his mind.

Zhang Dejun said with emotion: "Of course I'm to blame. Did you know about this matter? Why didn't you report it? Lu and Wang colluded so deeply. If the Imperial City Secretary didn't notice it, he would be suspected of dereliction of duty!"

"How did you deal with it? Your Majesty won't really blame you!" Wang Shouzhong asked with concern.

Zhang Dejun smiled faintly: "The officials are angry. I have my own way to deal with it. Naturally, I can't say I didn't notice it. I just told the officials that I don't have enough evidence in my hands. If you report the rumors rashly, I'm afraid they will be mistaken for slander. Slandering, I dare not speak out because of my scruples. The grievances between me and Wang Yinwu are also a matter of publicity."

"Does Your Majesty accept such a statement?"

Zhang Dejun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Left and right, it's just an explanation to the officials! The officials are very angry now, and I am afraid that nine points are directed at Wang Yinwu and Lu Duoxun. Affordable!"

"Then Wang Yinwu him"

"This is what I can't figure out the most. The officials neither killed him nor imprisoned him, and even sent him back to the Wu De Division to preside over it, as if nothing had happened!" Zhang Dejun frowned.

However, his brows relaxed quickly, and he smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, the officials have already ordered me to report the information collected about the relationship between Lu and Wang according to the truth. And Wu Desi's surveillance! You don't understand what this means!"

Wang Shouzhong said happily: "This Wang Yinwu has lost all his sanctity. Your Majesty, I'm afraid that he will have to rectify Wu Desi again!"

"Not only that, I think Lu Duoxun is also sad about this test, there will be another disturbance in the court!" Zhang Dejun said with emotion.

"At this time, we have to act with all our strength, strengthen the monitoring of public opinion in Tokyo and the imperial court, and not relax at all!" Zhang Dejun's tone became serious: "You tell the people below to keep me quiet and behave recently. Let His Majesty point the finger at us, whoever caused trouble, then I will find trouble!"

The sudden stern tone made Wang Shouzhong's heart tremble, and he hurriedly said: "I understand, let me know immediately!"

Nodding his head, Zhang Dejun asked again: "The matter of Hexi cannot be relaxed after all. The officials have this matter in mind, so I have to make some achievements!"

"Yes!" Wang Shouzhong said: "The fourth brother has already personally rushed to the northwest. He knows the situation in the northwest and has been in charge of the affairs of the northwest and the north these years. With him, I think I will not disappoint my father!"

"I hope so!" Zhang Dejun nodded.

Turning his eyes, he stared at Wang Shouzhong again: "I know that there is some discord between you brothers, and it's fine on weekdays, but in official affairs, you must fully cooperate and handle the errands for me!"

Slightly startled, Wang Shouzhong didn't dare to have any other attitude, he just assured: "I understand!"

Among the four adoptive sons, Zhang Dejun was of course more inclined to Wang Shouzhong and Wang Shouyi, the reason was very simple, their surnames were Wang.And Zhang Dejun, whose real surname is also Wang, changed his surname to Zhang just because he was adopted by his adoptive father. However, since his adoptive father died of old age, he has been thinking about reverting to his original surname.

Although Zhang Dejun is an eunuch, he still thinks about the succession of the family, especially for a big eunuch like him who has status, power, and qualifications.Up to now, apart from the matter of Emperor Liu, which he can always remember, it has been passed down by the family.

After taking a deep look at the adoptive son, Zhang Dejun waved his hand, and ordered: "Go! Sort out the files and evidence related to Wang Yinwu, and I will submit it to the government myself!"

"Yes!" Wang Shouzhong pouted his buttocks, exited the room respectfully and slowly, and closed the door softly.

After Wang Shouzhong withdrew, Zhang Dejun's face gradually darkened. His heart was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface. Emperor Liu's questioning was not easy.

What really worried Zhang Dejun was that he was afraid that the fire from Wu Desi would follow him to the Imperial City Secretary. Although he had always wanted to defeat Wang Yinwu, the reality made him very clear that it was impossible for the Imperial City Secretary to be a family. dominance.

He wanted to deal with Wu Desi, but he just wanted to suppress the other party, and he didn't dare to go too far. He himself was in the imperial city department and his adopted son to balance. Emperor Liu used the method of balance. How can I not know.

Of course, Zhang Dejun was most worried about himself. Wang Yinwu committed a big taboo, which also made him feel flustered.He is not completely clean when it comes to forming secret relationships with ministers, it's just that he didn't dare to have too deep contacts
It refers to Zhao Pu.
