Chapter 215 Mutiny
"Sir?"

Zhan Qi looked at the two people who broke up unhappy, looked at Zhan Wenjiang suspiciously, and asked puzzledly.

"He will come again."

Zhan Wenjiang waved his hands disapprovingly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

The prime minister returned home angrily, and before he had even had a sip of tea, he was informed that the person in the palace invited him to the palace for an audience.

emperor?

Hearing the emperor calling him, the prime minister was stunned, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Why is the emperor looking for him?Did someone hear what happened today?

The prime minister was a little apprehensive, but since the emperor had ordered him like this, he couldn't refuse, so he prepared to go to the palace.

……

"I see the emperor!"

The prime minister walked to the imperial study room, knelt down respectfully facing the top and saluted.

"Prime Minister, get up quickly, why should we be so polite between you and me?"

As soon as the man on the dragon chair saw him coming in, he quickly put down the memorial and stood up, helped the prime minister himself, and said with a smile, but it was a pity that the smile didn't reach his eyes.

After the prime minister got up, he looked at the person in front of him, feeling a little surprised. He didn't understand why the other party was so enthusiastic, but even if the emperor was like this, he didn't dare to take it too seriously.

"Prime Minister, sit down."

The emperor pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for the prime minister to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, why is your Majesty looking for this old minister?"

The prime minister sat there, cupping his hands.

"Oh, I heard that the prime minister went to a house today, who did he meet?"

The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, then put down the cup, looked at the prime minister and asked.

When the prime minister heard him ask this, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if the other party had found out that he had sent someone to investigate him, and he was a little flustered.

"Oh, nothing, just an ordinary neighbor."

The prime minister thought about it, but chose to conceal it.

"Oh, neighbor?"

When the emperor heard the prime minister's words, he squinted his eyes, glanced at him, and then smiled and said, "I don't know which family it is?"

"A little merchant's house."

The prime minister replied in trepidation, for fear of being noticed by the other party.

"A small family of merchants? Why don't I know, Prime Minister, what is the origin of this person?"

The emperor looked at him with a half-smile and asked.

"This... is just a small merchant in Beijing, nothing to worry about"

Hearing what the emperor said, the prime minister was shocked. He didn't know why the other party asked this question suddenly, and he felt even more uneasy, not knowing how to answer the other party's question.

"How did I hear that the prime minister went to meet the rebels?"

The emperor looked at the prime minister and asked with a smile. His tone was very gentle, without the slightest hint of threat. However, the prime minister could hear the coldness in the other party's tone.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have absolutely no intention of doing so. I would like to ask your Majesty to learn from you."

When the prime minister heard what the emperor said, he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"I didn't doubt the prime minister, so you don't need to be nervous, but you also know that today's court situation is unpredictable, and there are many disobedient hearts in the court, so I have no choice but to do it. I hope the prime minister will not blame you. Prime Minister, do you think so?"

The emperor looked at the prime minister, waved his hand gently, motioned him to get up, and said in a very gentle tone.

Hearing what the other party said, the prime minister finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and said respectfully: "I will remember the emperor's instruction, and dare not have the slightest resentment."

"Well, since that's the case, Prime Minister, you can go home and rest for a while, and wait until the court situation is stable before talking about other things."

The emperor looked at him with sharp eyes, and said in a serious tone, which made the prime minister's heart tremble. However, he also knew that what the other party said could not be delayed, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, I obey the order."

Seeing that he agreed, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

"My minister retire."

After the prime minister withdrew from the imperial study, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his face was pale, his legs trembled slightly, and he felt like he was alive after a catastrophe.

He thought he had escaped, but in fact, the nightmare had just begun. On the night he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he heard that his most powerful son had a disabled leg and could only lie on the bed and become a useless person. It's not over yet.

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

The prime minister looked at the familiar palace man in front of him, and the golden imperial decree in his hand, and there seemed to be buzzing in his ears.

"Prime Minister, why don't you accept the decree to thank you soon? The young master is only seventeen years old and can be the vanguard general of the Western Frontier. This is a military achievement that ordinary people can't match. You should cherish it."

The palace man looked at the prime minister who was motionless, and urged him anxiously.

When the prime minister heard this, he shuddered all over. Looking at the palace man in front of him, a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he took the imperial decree with trembling hands: "Thank you Lord Long En!"

He did not give up and opened the imperial decree, on which his son's name was clearly displayed, and the emperor's jade seal was on the side. He looked at the contents of the imperial decree, his heart was cold, his whole body was limp on the ground, and he could not turn back for a long time Come on.

"Master!? Where is Xijiang?"

In Xijiang, today's war-torn zone, the eldest son was abolished, and the remaining youngest son was also sent to the front line of the battlefield. The emperor wants his life!

"Prime Minister, we are ordered to protect your safety!"

The prime minister looked at the armor with cold light and the weapon with frightening light in front of him, and felt desolate in his heart. He thought that he was the main one, and he ended up like this in the end, even so...

"It's work everyone."

The prime minister nodded lightly, and the moment he turned around, a firm light flashed in his eyes.

Not much, a masked man in black left along the secret road behind the rockery in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked towards a certain house alone in the dark along the road he walked during the day.

……

"Zhan will be waiting for you for a long time."

Zhan Wenjiang stood with his hands behind his back at the door, wearing a black brocade robe, which made his figure even taller and taller, his handsome face looked more angular under the moonlight, his eyes were sharp, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

"Young Master Zhan, Ming people don't speak secretly, I only have one request."

The prime minister looked at the imposing young man in front of him and had to admit that he was old.

"Xijiang is my place, so you don't have to worry about the young master's affairs. This is a ghost doctor, and the eldest son's leg injury will be treated by him."

Zhan Wenjiang nodded, and a man wearing a silver mask and carrying the box walked out behind him.

"If it is useful to get the old man, the old man's definition is undeniable!"

Seeing the ghost doctor who is said to be dead in traditional Chinese medicine appear in front of him, the prime minister's eyes could not help showing anticipation.

His son was saved!

Zhan Wenjiang nodded slightly, and the two quietly walked back to the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the cover of the dark guards against the darkness.
