Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward with a smile and poured a cup of tea for Yan Mu to calm him down.

"Yan'er has a letter."

Yan Mu sat up straight, took the letter from Liu Yunxiang, read it quickly, then snorted and slapped the letter on the table.

"He is just a corrupt official. He just sent an imperial envoy to investigate. Why should he, the emperor sitting in the temple, put aside all the important matters at hand and go and investigate in person."

"The temple is too high, so it's hard to see clearly. It's better to go there in person. Right now, we are supporting the overall situation for him, but I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity in the future."

Speaking of this, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but feel a little guilty. They put him in that high position, but they didn't ask him if he was willing.

"He said that he had obtained evidence of many crimes committed by the Qingshan County magistrate, but the prefectural government was afraid that he had connections with the magistrate and that their officials would protect each other, so the imperial court needed to send an imperial envoy to take over the case directly." At this point. , Liu Yunxiang paused, "Who is the right person to send?"

The officials of the court did not know that the emperor had left the palace, and this news must not be leaked, so they needed to send a confidant there who could keep this secret.

Yan Mu thought for a while, "Xue Changfeng happened to be in the southwest, and he was appointed as the imperial envoy, first to protect Yan'er, and second to investigate the case."

"His words are the most appropriate."

When the appointment documents from the imperial court were sent over, Xue Changfeng was applying makeup to Aunt Zhou backstage. After the last stroke was completed, he looked at Aunt Zhou's face with satisfaction, feeling very proud.

"This painting is much better than last time, especially the eyebrows, which look like willow leaves. They are absolutely amazing."

Aunt Zhou looked in the mirror and looked at it, and she was quite satisfied. "Next time, the powder will be thinner, as the skin will peel here."

"Really?" Xue Changfeng bent down to take a closer look, "It's true."

"Others are fine."

"The lip fat is also thicker."

"Fortunately."

"I'll make it thinner for you."

"How to do this..."

Before Aunt Zhou could finish her words, Xue Changfeng held her face, lowered her head and kissed her.

"You see I got a lot of it."

Aunt Zhou saw that Xue Changfeng's lips were stained with red lipstick, and her face turned red. She raised her hand and hit him. Fortunately, there was no one around.

Xue Changfeng smiled heartily, and he could feel that Aunt Zhou was slowly beginning to accept him. With just a little more time, he would be able to win back Aunt Zhou's heart.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan found him and handed Yan Mu's letter of appointment to him.

When he saw that Yan Mu had appointed him as an imperial envoy and had to immediately go to Qingshan County to investigate some corruption case, his face darkened.

"He's still not a brother, he's ruining my good deeds!"

Jiang Yuan only sent the letter of appointment and seal of the imperial envoy. Regardless of Xue Changfeng's complaints, he turned around and went back to resume his duties.

Xue Changfeng was so angry that he wanted to tear up the book, but Aunt Zhou quickly stopped him.

"You and I running around from east to west, north and south, are not a long-term solution."

"Why can't it last longer? You want to drive me away?"

Aunt Zhou sighed, "I'm an actor." "What's wrong with the actor? If it weren't for my bad voice, I would learn to sing from you."

Aunt Zhou looked at Xue Changfeng, "When I wanted the position of the principal wife, you didn't give it to me. It was not because I came from a humble background, and even though I was not an actor at that time. Now, if I agree to be good to you, the position of the principal wife will be , will you give it to me?”

Xue Changfeng nodded quickly, overjoyed, "I'll give you whatever you want!"

"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"They can laugh at me, but if they want to laugh at you, I won't forgive them."

"I want you to prove it."

"how to prove?"

Aunt Zhou patted the appointment letter in his hand and said, "Accept the appointment, solve the case assigned by the court, and restore the official to his original position. Then I will sing a big opera in Shengjing. I want you to go to the theater in an eight-carat sedan to marry me." .”

"It's that simple?"

Aunt Zhou smiled: "If you can do it, I will agree to marry you."

If he could marry an actor regardless of the ridicule of others, then she would marry him without feeling inferior or caring about the looks of others.

After Xue Changfeng made an appointment with Aunt Zhou, she hurriedly went to Qingshan County.

When I saw Qin Yan, he was dressed in rags and was pretending to be a beggar on the street. Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Yuchen beside him were also in the same condition. The three of them were holding a broken bowl. In the bowl, there were actually steamed buns given by kind people.

Xue Changfeng looked at the three of them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

"Have you three watched too many dramas, paid private visits incognito, and dressed up in disguise? Are you feeling itchy?"

Yan'er looked up at Xue Changfeng, "Why did my father send you here?"

"It's a shame I'm here, otherwise the fact that you left the palace privately would have been exposed."

Yan'er pouted, "Aren't you busy chasing your wife?"

"Okay, what's going on? Tell me about it."

Here in the palace, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang continued to promote the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, while also trying to hide the fact from the officials that the emperor had left the palace.

As the days passed and the emperor still did not show up, more and more officials became restless.

At this time, another official suggested that although the emperor was still young, it was time to consider getting married. He could first select a candidate for the queen and wait for two years before getting married.

This matter should indeed be considered, but after the election of the emperor, all parties need to be balanced and many considerations must be taken.

Liu Yunxiang did have a suitable candidate, General Wei, now the Marquis of Bei'an, his legitimate daughter.

"When I was in Zhenbei, I met this girl once, and I was amazed that Wei Tian, ​​a tall and rough man, could actually give birth to such a beautiful daughter. This girl was so elegant and generous, and I liked her very much at the time."

"By the way, this girl is now at her maternal grandfather's house in Shengjing. She can be summoned to the palace and let me take another look."

When Liu Yunxiang said this, his intention was right in front of her.

"You are talking about Wei Shu, I am familiar with her. I will invite her to the palace tomorrow to stay with me for two days. Please look carefully." (End of Chapter)
