I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Chapter 392: Qin Shangshu, summoned by His Majesty

Helian Kai and Yan Jiangnan are making frequent moves.

Qin Chi had long anticipated that they were going to start a rebellion.

Soon the Great Xia Dynasty will be in chaos.

Ever since he learned about Jianning's situation, Qin Chi knew that this day would come sooner or later. Given how much the other party hated him, he didn't dare to say that the other party would come to kill him the first time they entered the capital, but they would not let him go.

Old Man Hong and Old Man Li came in.

Qin Chi handed the secret report to the two of them for review.

Old Li was not surprised at all.

Old Man Hong frowned, "The Liu family of Jianning started a rebellion?"

"Hey, this Liu family is really brave."

Old Li laughed.

Old Man Hong was not aware that Qin Chi had obtained the evidence of the Liu family's rebellion but had never brought it out. After Qin Chi obtained the evidence, he concealed it immediately. In fact, Old Man Li was not sure what Qin Chi wanted to do.

But he believed that his son was a sensible man.

Old Man Hong said cautiously: "This news must be spread to the northwest immediately so that the prince can be mentally prepared."

"Okay, Uncle Hong will do it."

Qin Chi followed what Old Man Hong said.

Old Man Hong bowed to Qin Chi and turned to leave.

Qin Chi and Old Li looked at each other.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Old Li asked in a low voice.

Qin Chi pondered, "With such a big commotion in Jianning, how could the Jinyiwei not get the news? I believe that the news will spread in the capital in a few days. There is no need for us to spread it. Others don't know, but we know it. What will others think?"

"It's not for us to say."

Old Li knew that Emperor Cheng of Ming was a suspicious person.

Qin Chi suddenly remembered what happened in Zhangjiawan.

Ever since Xing Lun sent the letter, he sent people to investigate. Many days have passed, and no definite news has been received.

Qin Chi asked again: "Uncle Li, have you figured out the situation with the grain transport? Jianning is raising an army to attack the capital, and it is very likely that they will take the waterway, and Zhangjiawan is the key. So many people sneaked into the capital earlier, but I didn't receive any news. This makes me suspect that the spies placed in Zhangjiawan may have betrayed me a long time ago."

Old Li's expression became serious, "I will go and investigate right away."

"Then I'll leave it to Uncle Li."

Different from the unpredictable situation in the dark.

What happened at the Qin family's banquet today spread through various channels. The person who attracted the most attention was not Qin Chi, but Song Jin, Qin Chi's wife.

Who asked Qin Chi to hide the person so tightly?

For some reason, those who had attended the banquet were vague when they mentioned Song Jin, saying only that she was not ugly, that the banquet was a bit shabby, or that the Qin family's financial situation was not very good. Occasionally, they would say that the Qin family's servants did not know the rules, etc.

On the contrary, Lord Xia praised Song Jin highly.

Anyway, it's a mixed bag of good and bad, and the situation is very strange.

"Isn't it really ugly?"

Zhang Yanzi sent her maid out to inquire.

The result she got was something she was not happy to hear.

The maid said confidently, "She's not ugly. I heard that she looked pretty and gentle after putting on makeup. She held the banquet in a proper manner. But I heard that she was very cautious about the guests. The Qin Mansion's servants followed the guests wherever they went."

Zhang Yanzi sneered, "So the Wu family didn't succeed?"

Wu Jingyao went there, she was already angry because she couldn't go. Her uncle had said that Qin Chi would come to Zhang's house, and she waited and waited, and had chosen all the clothes and makeup, but he didn't show up.

Later I heard that the Zhang family and Qin Chi had a feud.

Qin Chi will not come to Zhang Mansion.

No one knew what happened to her father today. She couldn't find him anywhere and there was no one to talk to.

People don't need to be thought of.

There was movement outside.

"Is Zier here?" It was the voice of Master Zhang.

The servant replied respectfully: "Second Master, the young lady is resting in the room."

After a while, the maid came in to inform Zhang Yanzi.

Zhang Yanzi went to the living room outside and saw Master Zhang sitting there with a sullen expression. "Yanzi greets father."

"Everyone else, step back."

Master Zhang looked around at the other people in the room.

Zhang Yanzi also signaled her trusted maid to go out.

After a while, the father and daughter were the only ones left in the living room.

Master Zhang got straight to the point and said, "In a few days, there will be the eldest princess' birthday banquet. There will be many people attending the banquet, and Qin Qi'an will definitely be there. Zi'er should dress up nicely that day, and we will make some arrangements..."

Zhang Yanzi nodded, her eyes full of determination.

The next few days.

The situation in the capital was changing subtly.

Those who were sensitive enough could sense the coming storm.

Qin Chi went to the Ministry of Works to work as usual. With the assistance of Minister Wang, he had taken over the affairs of the Shangshu. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Minister Zhang also came to the office normally.

Apart from talking less than before, he seemed like nothing had happened.

Many people in the government office were unsure about this.

Is this really a misunderstanding?

Didn’t the Jinyiwei find any problems?

Only Qin Chi knew the reason: the Jinyiwei was temporarily unable to free up their hands to investigate. The internal thorough investigation had just been completed, but then they came across the news of the Jianning uprising.

This is a big deal.

When Emperor Ming Cheng received the news, after calming down from his anger, he temporarily suppressed the news and ordered the Jinyiwei to focus on investigating Jianning's affairs. He had no time to take care of the Zhang family at this time.

Qin Chi gave Minister Zhang a dark look.

Is this the person behind the scenes trying to protect the Zhang family?

I have to say, it was a success.

"Is Minister Qin here?"

The soft voice of the eunuch delivering the message was heard.

Qin Chi looked towards the door and saw Qin Ba coming in with a eunuch.

The eunuch saluted Qin Chi with a serious face and said, "Minister Qin, His Majesty summons you."

"Now?" Qin Chi asked.

The eunuch affirmed, "Yes, let's go now."

"Row."

Qin Chi put away the documents on the table and handed them to Minister Wang, "I'll trouble you with these, Lord Wang."

Minister Wang took it and watched Qin Chi leave with the eunuch.

At some point, Minister Zhang stood beside Minister Wang and said, "Sir Wang, are you willing?"

"So what if I'm unwilling?" Minister Wang asked with a fake smile, "Or do you want me to be like you, with a knife hanging over my head, not knowing when it will fall?"

Minister Zhang's face twisted for a moment.

It will be soon. Soon the Zhang family will be able to come to the fore.

Minister Zhang knew about Jianning's uprising, and it would not be long before Jianning's manifesto against Emperor Mingcheng would spread all over the country. The means by which Emperor Mingcheng seized the throne were not clean.

"Manifesto" is an article written since ancient times to punish tyrants, thugs, traitors and rebels.

This is an article written for people all over the world to read.

One is to declare that they have a legitimate reason to fight, that they are on the side of justice, and that they belong to the army of justice. The crimes of Emperor Mingcheng will be listed one by one. Anyway, in the manifesto, Emperor Mingcheng is guilty of heinous crimes and cannot be tolerated by the world.

The second is to rally our own morale.

Try to unite as many forces as possible and make the people of the world accept your uprising, thereby increasing the possibility of victory.

Qin Chi followed the young eunuch over.

On the way, he met Xia Wei and several important officials in the court.

As soon as they arrived in front of the imperial study, they heard Emperor Mingcheng's angry curses, which made Qin Chi and others stop in their tracks.

Are you hesitating whether to go in at this time?
