I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Prime Minister's House.

Xu Renyou walked in hurriedly and went straight to Prime Minister Lu's room.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, excuse me for interrupting you."

Xu Renyou shouted.

"come in."

Hearing this, Xu Renyou pushed the door open and said, "Prime Minister, the results of the imperial examination have been announced."

"so what?"

At this moment, Lu Jun was lying on the bed.

The maid beside him was massaging his shoulders.

"The number one scholar in this imperial examination is named Shen Ye, and he is from the Shen family of Huaizhou!"

Hearing the word "Shen Family", Lu Jun suddenly sat up straight with some tension, and asked with wrinkles on his face: "Huaizhou Shen Family?"

More than a decade ago, the Huaizhou Shen family was once a prominent family. Later, Shen Dezhong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, impeached Lu Jun but to no avail.

Because of Lu Jun's great power, the Shen family was implicated. Shen Dezhong was dismissed from his post and imprisoned unjustly, and the Shen family fell into decline.

"You go out first." Lu Jun asked the other servants in the room to go out, leaving only Xu Renyou.

Xu Renyou asked, "Do you think Shen Ye has other purposes for coming to the capital this time?"

"It's hard to say. This man will definitely be used by the emperor in the future. If he is determined to take revenge, he will definitely deal with us."

Lu Jun was a little worried.

After so many years, I didn't expect that the Shen family could still cause trouble.

If Shen Ye had not been mentioned, Lu Jun would have almost forgotten about this matter. After all, he had been an official for decades and had seen too many storms and offended too many people.

"Of course we should eradicate the roots..."

Lu Jun already felt a little regretful.

"Although this person is the top scholar, if we ruin his reputation, the court will not use him." Xu Renyou said.

"It's not that easy." Lu Jun shook his head.

"This person is not without weaknesses. As long as the right method is used, you will succeed." Xu Renyou said.

Lu Jun still frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xu Renyou said, "Most people in this world are tempted by money and sex. We all know that Prime Minister Jiang is greedy for money, and this Shen Ye, when I ordered people to investigate him before, I found that he seemed to be a lustful person. He often went to brothels and other places of pleasure. If that's the case, he must be easy to deal with."

Hearing these words, Lu Jun stroked his beard, looking a little solemn.

Xu Renyou added: "We can use this to ruin the reputation of this so-called number one scholar."

Lu Jun was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's not that the Prime Minister doesn't want to do this, but everything we have done before is in vain. If the emperor knows that we are doing this behind his back, we will surely die."

They had been doing all kinds of tricks behind the emperor's back. Given the empress's personality, she would definitely execute them after learning the truth.

Xu Renyou said: "Prime Minister, the emperor has us in his hands now. If she wants to kill us, it's just a matter of words. The reason why she spared our lives is simply because the emperor has killed too many officials and dares not execute them at will. But if the imperial examination is allowed to continue, we old ministers will be of no use..."

Lu Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "This time, we must make sure it is foolproof."

So many previous failures had made him lose his patience.

Xu Renyou said: "Since the court values ​​Shen Ye so much, why not bring him to ruin and give the court a slap in the face."

Lu Jun thought for a moment before saying, "Then do it. Don't involve us."

"I understand." Xu Renyou leaned over and said.

"I have contacted the Fourteenth King half a month ago. Now the situation has changed. You and I must be cautious." Lu Jun said in a low voice.

Xu Renyou came close to Lu Jun and asked, "Are we still going to take action?"

Lu Jun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The Fourteenth Prince said to wait a little longer."

"I'm afraid I can't wait any longer."

……

royal palace.

Today, Shen Ye has changed into a set of brocade clothes and wears the unique Wenhua crown of the Yan State. He is already dressed like a court official and is heading towards the depths of the imperial palace.

Shen Ye had mixed feelings when he entered the palace to meet the emperor this time.

Arriving in front of the imperial study, Shen Ye paused for a moment to adjust his thoughts.

"this way please."

The guard gestured.

"Your Majesty, Shen Ye is here."

"come in."

The voice of the empress came from inside.

The door slowly opened, Shen Ye lowered his head, walked in, and bowed, "Your Highness."

"Stand up." Chen Qingyun said calmly.

Shen Ye slowly raised his head and saw the empress sitting in front of him for the first time.

Shen Ye was stunned by the beauty of the empress in front of him. He only knew that the emperor was a woman before, but he never thought that she was so beautiful. With such a stunning appearance and the majesty of the emperor, there must be no second woman like her in the world.

"Shen Ye, don't stand there in a daze, get up."

At this moment, Shen Ye discovered that Prime Minister Jiang was also standing next to the empress.

"Meet Prime Minister Jiang."

Shen Ye quickly saluted.

"No need to be so polite." Jiang Zuo said calmly.

Chen Qingyun looked at the young man in front of him and said, "From today on, you will be a minister of our court. According to Prime Minister Jiang, you are talented in writing and have strong political opinions. The court will need talents like you in the future."

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. I... I don't deserve it." Shen Ye said a little nervously.

"The court will soon arrange an official position for you. What do you think?"

The empress asked. She had great respect for such talents.

"Your Majesty, your subject, your subject..." Shen Ye stammered.

Chen Qingyun said: "If you need anything, feel free to ask."

Shen Ye took a deep breath and said, "I want to impeach the Right Prime Minister Lu Jun!"

After hearing this, Chen Qingyun and Jiang Zuo both showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

The insertion of this topic was indeed a bit sudden.

Jiang Zuo asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Jiang Zuo didn't care about impeaching the right prime minister, but he still didn't understand what the grudge between Shen Ye and Lu Jun was.

Shen Ye said excitedly, "My father, Shen Dezhong, was the Minister of Personnel at the beginning. He wrote a letter to impeach Lu Jun because he could not stand his clique-building and selfishness. However, he was slandered by Lu Jun and was wrongly imprisoned. Your Majesty must redress his wrongdoing!"

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but frown, and felt a little more angry.

"You went to Beijing to take the imperial examination just to wait for this day?" Jiang Zuo understood immediately.

Shen Ye nodded and said, "That's right. Today I will definitely impeach Lu Jun. The person who tried to assassinate me that day was sent by Right Prime Minister Lu Jun."

After hearing this, Jiang Zuo understood.

Could it be that Shen Ye was in a panic those days because he was worried about this?

Chen Qingyun calmed down a little and said, "I will deal with this matter seriously. Your identity is quite special now, so don't make it public. Once I have investigated everything, I will naturally vindicate your father."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Ye said while still kneeling on the ground.
