After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

After hearing Xun Zhan's speculation, Xia Hong shook his head repeatedly: "The situation back then was seen by all the old ministers in the court. I made that choice for the sake of making life easier for the people."

Xun Zhan nodded and agreed, "The emperor loves the people like his own children and always puts the people first."

Most of the old ministers who knew the inside story were killed, and Xia Hong's own sons were also killed or disabled under the joint siege of Xun Zhan and Xia Ling.

Doesn’t Xia Hong love his people like his own children?

Looking down at Shen Jinmo, Xia Hong even sighed helplessly:

"I have treated the Han brothers well. I have emptied my private treasury over the years and asked them to take revenge. Why don't they trust me?"

Xun Zhan looked up and nodded heavily again. After thinking for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he just nodded a few more times.

Shen Jinmo was not as talkative as Xun Zhan, and he didn't want to listen to these meaningless words. He stood up and prepared to end today's drama directly.

If I come home any later, I won’t be able to have dinner with Xie Nanxing.

"I am willing to personally go to the East Territory and summon the Han siblings back to the court. If they are not summoned, I am willing to resign to comfort the king."

Xia Hong looked at Shen Jinmo with satisfaction, the satisfaction in his eyes almost overflowing.

When he put pressure on Xun Zhan, he also became much kinder: "Xun Zhan, what about you?"

Since Shen Jinmo had started this, Xun Zhan would definitely not be able to recall the person that was originally reserved for Xia Ling to recall.

He was first tricked by his immediate superior into coming in to take the blame, and now he has to bury this fourth-rank official position with him.

Xun Zhan, not willing at all.

However, the words that came out of his mouth were: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty is willing too!"

"Wang Heng has been very busy lately, so Xun Zhan will handle this matter. I believe you will be able to call the Han siblings back, and you will also have a share in the credit of destroying the Eastern Japanese in the future."

Standing up from the dragon throne, Xia Hong slowly walked up to Xun Zhan and said, "It's done. I will turn a blind eye to some things."

Xia Hong naturally knew where the miserable situation of his descendants, whom he had once used as a tool to win over the power of court officials, came from.

Naturally, he had no feelings for these sons who were destined to be his pawns from the day they were born. He even felt disgusted because these sons had seen too many things they shouldn't have seen.

If these people could learn to keep a low profile, Xia Hong would be willing to spare them.

But I don’t know who these people are like, but once they smell the hook of power, they have to climb up.

Xia Hong, how could you possibly keep them?

The situation has changed. Those people who were killed by Xun Zhan with his tacit approval have now become the handle to control Xun Zhan.

If he fails to do it well, Xun Zhan will have to pay a price for the deaths of these people.

"The minister obeys the order."

Xun Zhan's grievances at this moment were much more real than Xia Hong's just now: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, can you take the Marquis of Zhongqin with you to the East Territory, so that I can have some bargaining chips in my hands?"

"Oh, you have a good idea."

Xun Zhan looked at Xia Hong, smiling so attentively that his eyelids squinted together, "Don't I also want to get the job done?"

"No."

The power of the Tiger Army was greatly enhanced by this battle. Xia Hong sent this handle to the front line. What if these people were forced into rebellion?

Using his money to rebel against him, how could Xia Hong let such a thing happen?

Those two cold words cut off all of Xun Zhan's hopes, and he had no choice but to leave the Golden Palace in disgrace.

After thinking it over, he did not leave the palace directly, but went to the place where Minister Xu was being beaten with a stick and carried his boss on his shoulders.

My fellow ministers, all of us have gotten to where we are today by taking the blame for our superiors.

"Xun Zhan, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"You've lost a lot. You'll be miserable in the future without a subordinate like me."

If it’s not this disaster, then it will be the next one.

Xun Zhan, within his limited options, decided to take on the punishment of annexing the various princes' forces at this relatively peaceful moment.

But he naturally would not tell Minister Xu his thoughts.

If Minister Xu feels more guilty, he will be more straightforward when you ask him to do something for you in the future.

"Xun Zhan, what kind of officials are we now? We spend all day thinking about how to save our lives. Where do we have the time to think about benefiting the people?"

The complaints in my ears were not loud, but it was extremely dangerous to say such words in the palace.

In order to prevent the danger from escalating, Xun Zhan used one hand to twist Minister Xu's waist and hips.

Hearing a whimper of pain, Xun Zhan stopped as if frightened.

He swore that he was definitely not seeking revenge.

He definitely did not blame Minister Xu for bringing him into the palace and giving him such a job.

He was doing this purely for Minister Xu's own good.

"You are so harsh, you will never get a wife in the future."

"Please don't cheat me in the future. If I am not careful, I will marry a wife but not be able to stay with her."

Minister Xu also laughed: "You have broad shoulders and great strength, and your appearance is only slightly worse than Xie Nanxing's. You will find a good wife."

Xun Zhan also laughed: "Why can you only compare with Xie Nanxing? Why don't you compare me with Shen Jinmo?"

Minister Xu really thought about it seriously, and finally came to the conclusion: "You and Shen Jinmo are not on the same path."

God’s way is not the same.

Xun Zhan insisted on following the same path as Shen Jinmo.

He is not as sickly as Xie Nanxing.

After sending Minister Xu onto the carriage, Xun Zhan sent someone back to the Prime Minister's residence to say hello, and then he went to Prince Ming's palace in person.

Most of his usual luggage was now in Prince Ming's Palace, and when he really returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, he would bring new clothes.

Xun Zhan doesn't like wearing new clothes. He prefers old clothes and old shoes, which fit well and smell good.

Xia Yu packed Xun Zhan's bag together, and after thinking for a while, he stuffed a lot of silver bills into Xun Zhan's pocket.

"Poor at home, rich on the road. You are going on a long journey this time, so be careful about everything."

Xia Yu does not ask Xun Zhan to return with merit, but only asks that Xun Zhan return safely.

She pinched Xia Yu's chubby cheeks with both hands: "Why do you look like a little wife, reluctant to let me go?"

Xia Yu's brows began to twist together, and there was a serious warning in his eyes, and he seemed a little angry.

No matter how angry he was, he did not pull away Xun Zhan's hand that was pinching his cheek: "Forget it this time, but next time, don't call me your young wife."

Xun Zhan thought hard, then leaned over to Xia Yu's ear and said, "Then I'll be your daughter-in-law, what do you think?"

"Yeah." Xia Yu naturally thought so: "I have money, I'll give it to you."

Xun Zhan was smiling with his eyebrows wide open, and his playful and romantic aura was extremely eye-catching.

He hugged Xia Yu with one hand and kissed him between the eyebrows heavily: "When I come back, I will really have to rely on you to support me."

After sending Xun Zhan to the carriage, Xia Yu kissed Xun Zhan on the cheek in front of several servants and said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back."

Xun Zhan stood at the front of the carriage and waved at Xia Yu: "Don't be a heartless man. You are only allowed to think about me, not others."

Especially that Xie Nanxing.

"Okay." Xia Yu waved his hand in a somewhat unfamiliar manner, imitating Xun Zhan's way: "Go home and I will support you."
