Chapter 697: Fu Tianchen joins the cabinet when he is in danger
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face turned pale.

Fu Tianchen glanced at the Eight Wise Kings approvingly and secretly sighed that his words were powerful enough.

He could hear that the emperor seemed to be showing signs of surrendering, but the Eighth Sage King said this clearly deliberately to ignite anger, hoping that the emperor would continue to investigate.

As long as the emperor gives the order, they can investigate Lin Yun naturally. Even if Lin Yun takes revenge in the future, he will only take revenge on the emperor.

After all, they were just following the emperor's orders.

But for such a simple truth, they naturally understand the emperor better.

The emperor showed an intriguing smile to the Eight Wise Kings and said: "Old Eight, I know you feel uncomfortable! After all, it is your father-in-law Meng Yuan who was seriously injured this time! So, if you want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I can give you How about your chance?"

The Eight Sage King clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, secretly cursing Li Jing as an old fox, and smiled awkwardly: "If the emperor doesn't want to pursue it, then there is no need for me to wade into this muddy water!"

Both the monarch and the minister had hidden secrets. They knew that the explosion was caused by Lin Yun, but no one wanted to do anything to offend Lin Yun again.

In their view, Lin Yun's sudden madness was a naked warning.

Especially this time, Sun Xing was suddenly re-employed and was assigned to be the chief envoy of Fengyang County. Lin Yun would definitely be angry.

I just didn't expect revenge to be so crazy.

But at this moment, Fu Tianchen suddenly knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

As soon as these words came out, both the emperor and the Eight Wise Kings showed a smile.

The two of them looked at him like he was a fool.

Does Fu Tianchen really don't understand, or is he pretending to be stupid?

The emperor said with a smile: "I feel very happy that the Fuqing family has this kind of intention! However, this matter is of great importance! If we pursue it, it will inevitably involve countless people and even put our lives in danger. Are you sure you can withstand the pressure?"

Li Jing almost told Fu Tianchen directly that if he continued to pursue the case, he would suffer revenge from Lin Yun.

But he couldn't say it.

Although he is the king of a country, he does not dare to act rashly in this situation.

In particular, his subordinate Ouchi Longying had secretly discovered that Lin Yun was meeting with people from Chujiang County.

It is said that care leads to chaos. At this moment, Li Jing was also afraid that Lin Yun would collude with these vassal kings with different surnames, especially Chu Jiang King Chu Xiangyu.

He is also his number one rival.

Otherwise, if there were no worries, the emperor would not be timid.

He doesn't need to take Fengyang County too seriously. Although Lin Yun has some financial resources, Fengyang County has become a burden after several twists and turns. No matter how powerful Lin Yun is, the Lin family's 200,000-strong army will not be able to form combat effectiveness in the short term. .

However, King Chu Jiang has been operating secretly for so many years and has strong financial resources and strong soldiers. If Lin Yun is forced to rebel and provides weapons and equipment to the opponent, the threat to the court will be fatal.

Originally, the emperor just wanted to use Sun Xing to beat Lin Yun, but he did not expect that it would turn into this situation.

Fu Tianchen clasped his fists and said: "Wei Chen, the third generation of the Fu family is loyal and loyal. At this moment, he should serve the imperial court! It's just that... Wei Chen has one more request, and I hope the emperor can grant it!"

"Oh? What's the matter, please tell me?" Fu Tianchen said solemnly: "Although Wei Chen inherited the position of Minister of Household Affairs from my father, he has always been blocked from the military aircraft department, so..."

The emperor said playfully: "Oh, it turns out that the Fuqing family is thinking about this matter!"

As he said that, he glanced at the Eight Wise Kings subconsciously.

The Eight Sage King understood instantly, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation in the court is in turmoil, and all civil and military officials are in danger. In addition, Meng Zhongtang and Lao Wu have had troubles one after another, so it is indeed necessary to make an exception and allow Minister Fu to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister! This will not only stabilize the court situation, but also give Minister Fu a guarantee!"

Fu Tianchen was secretly happy and turned to cast a grateful look at the Eight Wise Kings.

Being able to stand in this position, he is naturally not a fool. He knows very well that these two old foxes are pushing back and forth, and they don't want to offend Lin Yun again.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the landmine that had just exploded was just a warning, but if Lin Yun was angered, he might do something worse.

But in Fu Tianchen's view, this is an opportunity to change the fate of the Fu family.

He only promised to investigate the matter and did not say when he would find out the truth. He just wanted to show off and try to please Lin Yun when he came back in the future, and the matter would be over.

Anyway, even the emperor had given in, so there was no need for him to hold on.

But it is a great test of his ability to control the heat. He must not only satisfy the emperor, but also not offend Lin Yun, who is too cunning as a fox. He must also protect the Eight Wise Kings who are as cunning as a fox.

The emperor nodded and said: "Okay! What the Eight Wise Kings said makes sense. Since it is a special period, we can waive those rules! Fu Tianchen accepts the order!"

Fu Tianchen immediately bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to salute.

"Fu Tianchen, it stands to reason that based on the serious crimes your father Fulin'an has committed, your Fu family will never be used! But I think that since the Fu family has made great contributions to the court many times, the merits and demerits are outweighed, so I will not Investigate it! This time, I will grant you the title of Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Palace and the Minister of Household Affairs. You will be granted the title of First Grade Officer, and you will be allowed to walk around the military aircraft every day!"

Fu Tianchen was ecstatic in his heart. He didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Everything his father had lost was finally taken back by him.

"Thank you Lord for your kindness! I will definitely live up to the emperor's favor and follow the emperor forever to ensure that my father-in-law is forever strong!"

"Well! Get up! Tell me specifically, how do you plan to investigate this matter?"

How could the emperor be so scheming, how could he not guess Fu Tianchen's cleverness?
Fu Tianchen's heart skipped a beat, but he had already accepted the decree and had been granted the title, so he had to show off.

"Yes! Wei Chen thinks that since the mine exploded during the early morning dynasty, the other party may have sneaked into the palace to lay the mine last night! Therefore, now we should let the infantry commander's Yamen block the entire capital and arrest all the suspects. , and then tortured to extract a confession!”

The emperor said solemnly: "Is this your idea?"

"Your Majesty, we don't have any evidence in our hands right now, so we can only use this stupidest method! Moreover, this has the advantage of letting people in the world see the determination of the court, and it can also appease the civil and military officials of the court. Otherwise, If you don’t do anything, people may not dare to say it, but privately they will definitely feel that the court is not doing anything!”

The emperor nodded: "That makes sense! What next?"

Fu Tianchen's eyes instantly became sharp, and he clasped his fists and said, "Whether the suspect is found or not, we must find a few scapegoats! Then... Weichen will personally lead the Yun Mansion to search. If it is found that the mine came from Yun Mansion, This case can be solved!”

As soon as these words came out, both the emperor and the Eight Wise Kings were surprised.

They understood Fu Tianchen's desire to make meritorious deeds, but if he put his words on the table, the meaning would be different.

Once Lin Yun comes back, this matter will completely get out of control.
