Here, after Zheng Yi left the Imperial Study Room, he went straight to the Hanlin Academy.

Everyone in the Hanlin Academy was somewhat surprised by Zheng Yi's sudden appearance.

However, when everyone saw that the person the imperial censor was looking for was Han Yan, their surprise seemed to be reduced a lot.

Previously, the emperor appointed He Xun to be the Minister of Rites. He Xun is a talented person and he deserves this honor.

Those who entered the Hanlin Academy were all selected by the emperor. Although everyone in the Hanlin Academy believed that they were capable and capable, they did not see others as being better or better than themselves.

We are all reasonable people, and we all know who is better.

From He Xun before to Han Yan now, they are all on par.

Han Yan came out to welcome Zheng Yi into a room and served tea.

Zheng Yi looked at Han Yan, and did not mince words, but said straightforwardly: "I am coming to you now. You are a very smart person. I think you know what is going on even without me saying anything. "

Han Yan responded and said, "Master Zheng must be here to recommend a subordinate to be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Zheng Yi: "Just now, the emperor asked me and Prime Minister Wang to go to the imperial study. The emperor also mentioned this matter, and I recommended you. If you can be in the Hanlin Academy, the emperor does not doubt your ability and ability, but If you want to be qualified as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it is not as simple as casual talk. The emperor has said that you will go to court together tomorrow and participate in the court meeting tomorrow morning."

Han Yan: "Yes, I understand."

Zheng Yi: "The reason why the emperor allows you to participate in the court meeting is because he wants to see how well you can do when facing civil and military officials. In other words, the emperor wants to take this opportunity to test you. of loyalty."

Han Yan: "As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor."

Zheng Yi said: "Very good, if you can keep this in mind at all times, the emperor will be very relieved about you tomorrow morning."

Han Yan met the eyes of the person in front of him and said: "This time, I am recommended by Master Zheng so that I can have this opportunity. If things go well, I will remember Master Zheng's kindness."

Zheng Yi said: "That's very good. I took the trouble to recommend you, so you have to be careful and don't make things worse. You should already know Su Yu's fate. I recommended you and let you become the master. Ministry, I don’t want you to be greedy. The Ministry of Households controls financial power, but money is just money, power is really important.”

Han Yan said: "Master Zheng's intention is clear to the lower officials. Taking power is the key."

Zheng Yi: "Okay, just know this in your heart, don't talk about it anymore. I recommend you, which means I have hope for you. I think you all know the confrontation between me and the Prime Minister. If you can successfully take office , among the six tribes, I can be regarded as having a place. If I want to pull the cart with the forces of the Wang family, I will have another layer of help."

Han Yan: "Troubles have happened here one after another under Prime Minister Wang, and the Emperor has greatly appreciated the things you have done in the Yushitai under your control, Mr. Zheng. We are all aware of it, and we will proceed accordingly. How can the Wang Prime Minister and the Wang family behind him compare with Master Zheng and the Zheng family behind you."

Zheng Yi was also quite satisfied with Han Yan. He nodded and said, "As long as you serve me well, I will not treat you badly, let alone the Han family."

Han Yan: "Yes, thank you Master Zheng."

Zheng Yi stood up, glanced at the cup of tea on the table next to him, picked it up and took a sip, "The tea is good. I won't have tea with you today. You should also prepare well and don't let it slip in the court tomorrow." , when you actually take the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, we will have a good time chatting over tea."

Han Yan: "Yes, Mr. Zheng, walk slowly."

After Zheng Yi left, Han Yan stood there, looking at the figure of the person walking away, and then said to the back of the room: "I also ask Commander Feng to report to Emperor Ming on behalf of the official. Things went well.”

After the words fell, I could faintly hear the first burst of gentle movement there, and it disappeared completely in just a moment.

Han Yan knew that the people inside had left, and now he had to follow the words of the imperial censor and make good preparations to accompany him to the morning court tomorrow.

……

Department of Punishment, inside the prison.

Upon learning of the Prime Minister's arrival, Qi Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, rushed over immediately.

Qi Yuan followed Wang Sheng and said, "Sir, why did you come here now and didn't send anyone to tell your subordinates, whoever they are..."

Wang Sheng interrupted Qi Yuan's words and said: "It doesn't matter, it's nothing important."

Qi Yuan: "Your Excellency, you are here now, do you want to see Su Yu?"

Wang Sheng: "How is he?"

Qi Yuan said truthfully: "Since I entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, all my former glory has disappeared, and my whole person has become completely depressed."

Wang Sheng: "You should take more care of him when he is here. He didn't say much."

Qi Yuan: "Don't worry, sir. Xiaguan has always asked people to pay attention to him, and the people who are in charge of him every day are all arranged by Xiaguan himself. He is very calm."

Wang Sheng: "The Su family has been confiscated. The Su family's family members and everyone who should be exiled have all left the capital in accordance with the emperor's decree. Now he is the only one left in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Qi Yuan pondered the Prime Minister's words and kept pondering in his mind. Moreover, the Prime Minister suddenly arrived and said these words, which made him a little confused. He tentatively asked: "Sir, Su Yu, are you going to let him …”

Before the next words were spoken, Qi Yuan saw the cold gaze of the Prime Minister, and what he was about to say stopped abruptly, and instead said: "Your Excellency has his own arrangements for Su Yu. No matter what, he will treat Su Yu. It’s the best outcome.”

Wang Sheng withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, while asking in a very calm tone: "Only the dead keep all secrets. Qi Yuan, what do you think would happen if Su Yu died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Qi Yuan: "There are many prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. There are guards patrolling every day. The emperor has not ordered his death, so no one will touch him. But if he commits suicide in the prison and dies, he will not be killed." It doesn’t matter to anyone.”

"Yeah." Wang Sheng responded.

After a while, they walked to the cell where Su Yu was imprisoned. Because of Su Yu's identity and Qi Yuan's arrangement, Su Yu did not suffer hardship here. On the contrary, compared to others, he Three meals a day are all generous, and there are no other irrelevant people around.

Qi Yuan was very sensible. From the conversation with the Prime Minister just now, he guessed the purpose of the Prime Minister's visit. At this moment, he immediately ordered all the jailers here to evacuate. He said to the person in front of him: "Sir, please go and wait over there. If you need anything, please call me."

Wang Sheng waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.

Qi Yuan was also unambiguous. He stopped standing here and retreated far away. When he retreated, he still glanced at Su Yu in the prison. After today, there will be no more Su Yu in the world!
